I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 600 East, West, South

"Bamo Chieftain, betrayed and resisted. He ran towards China and fled far away. He beat the war drums and pursued him closely. He went to fight for it, but he didn't want to hide it. He had no reason to stay here, so he couldn't be reckless. The country's affairs are difficult to achieve, and there will be no gain and disaster. Wu Debwa, think about it again and again. Even if the person who comes here is dead, bring his body up. Your Majesty, return to the country."

This is recorded in the Burmese history book "Mingye Daiba Eqin". It mainly talks about the fact that the chieftain of Man Mo was attached to the former Ming Dynasty. The Burmese king was furious and sent troops to conquer. The officials and generals of the Yunnan border in the former Ming Dynasty were afraid of the outbreak of war, so they killed the barbarians. Chieftain Mo gave up his head and all the land of Manmo.

Since then, the prestige of the chieftains of the former Ming Dynasty in the border areas of Yunnan has disappeared. They cannot save their lives by joining the imperial family, but they can become wealthy and prosperous by joining Burma.

Xu Xiake later visited this place: "Probably the 'Three Xuan' are still within the pass, while the 'Liuwei' are all outside the pass. So the boundaries between Chinese and Yi are divided."

The Ming Dynasty and the New Dynasty sent out troops this time, and they did not move. As soon as they sent out troops, they would completely destroy Myanmar.

Moreover, it is necessary to recover all the lands of Sanxuan and Sixwei that had been lost in the late Ming Dynasty.

Nandian, Qianya, Longchuan and other three-proclaimed chieftain lands, as rewards for sending troops to assist in the war, will be directly returned to their hometowns.

With the demise of Myanmar, it turns out that the border no longer exists, and there is no need for the Sanxuan Chieftain to exist anymore. The obedient ones can still retain their dignity, and the disobedient ones can be helped by the court to show their dignity.

As for Che, Mubang, Mengyang, Mengmi and other places in Liuwei, in the past few years, the imperial court has been sending detailed work, and there are reports from merchants. Mubang is as important as Mengyang and Mengmi, and all must be taken care of. To change the land and return it to the local people, you cannot appoint chieftains as before.

As long as these lands are captured, the Ming Dynasty's defense line at the Yunnan border will be impregnable, because all the favorable terrain is in China's hands. In the future, it will be difficult for these Southeast Asian vassal states to expand northward, and they will only be able to crazily involve in the south.

The imperial decree to mobilize troops arrived in Kunming, Yunnan. He Xiangming of the former military governor's office had already completed preparations. The battle plan and military deployment had been prepared several years in advance. The military supplies and supplies were also sufficient, and they were completely ready for a big war.

In addition to the 20,000 regular soldiers in the Yunnan-Guizhou region, the Ming army in Yunnan also had local patrol troops (second-line police) from the four provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi. Even the civilian men recruited were all reserve troops.

The total strength is close to 100,000 troops, and both the east and west armies are advancing at the same time. On the west route were 15,000 regular soldiers, accompanied by 10,000 patrol troops and 20,000 civilians, who first attacked the areas under the jurisdiction of the chieftains such as Mengyang, Mubang, and Mengmi.

These three areas were the areas under the jurisdiction of the chieftains that the imperial court had to seize and wanted to return to the land. Moreover, they had been attacked repeatedly by the Burmese army for several years. The chieftains in the three areas had long been exhausted.

The jurisdiction of Mengyang Xuanwei was vast, but a large area of ​​land in the north was under control.

This is all the fault of the Burmese, because the Burmese did not trust Mengyang Chieftain, so they exploited and suppressed him wildly, which made Mengyang Chieftain weak and unable to control the northern land.

The natives of Chashan Mountain were the first to see the Ming Dynasty's Western Front Army.

I can personally bring the soldiers and horses of my territory to greet you early: "I can greet you in Chashan early. I'll pay my respects to the general of the Celestial Dynasty!"

He Xiangming nodded: "This governor is He Xiangming, the former military governor of the Ming Dynasty. Myanmar today does not obey the king's rule and does not respect the heaven. The imperial court hereby sends troops to conquer. You, Meng Yangtumu, must send troops to accompany the expedition and prepare your own food and fodder."

"Yes Yes!"

Zao Ke nodded repeatedly, not daring to disobey.

Historically, this guy would get mad a few years later and attack Yunnan of the Qing Dynasty, and then be defeated by the Qing army that year.

He Xiangming's army only stayed at Chashan for one day. On the second day, it rolled up Chashan and the nearby Hengjia Tumu and continued to kill Chief Menggong's territory.

At the villages they passed along the way, they had long been tired of the continuous wars with the Burmese, and saw the Han court sending troops to help them. Moreover, these Han soldiers did not do any harm to their native villages, and even provided food to relieve the people (it was all the chieftain's food).

For a time, all the villages that received relief, not only the food in the pots, but also the people's wishes. Those who were able volunteered to be civilian laborers, transporting grain and grass for the Han soldiers and serving as guides in the mountains.

The Western Front troops led by He Xiangming quickly reached the Hugang Valley in Mengyang without firing a single shot.

"Da Ming Weiyuan camp?" He Xiangming's face was full of surprise.

This is a stone tablet discovered by a sentry knight, and it is obviously quite old.

Wei Min, the staff officer of the Dudu Mansion who accompanied the army, read to the stone tablet: "Liu Zhutan, the general of the Ming Dynasty who conquered the west, swore an oath to the crowd here. He swore: The six comforts will be expanded, the three declarations will be restored, the barbarians will pay tribute forever, and the armor will be washed. Jinsha, a ghost cave with hidden knives. If you don’t let it go, the southerners surrender... Oath: Mengyang Xuanwei Division, Mubang Xuanwei Division, Mengmi Appeasement Division, Longchuan Xuanwei Division, February 10th, Wanli Tenth Year Carving stone in one day.”

He Xiangming sighed: "In the tenth year of Wanli, it was the Qian Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, this Qian Ming general who conquered the west could actually reach here. He can be regarded as a hero of the generation."

Wei Min said: "Not only a generation of heroes, this is also the legal system of our new Ming Dynasty. At least during the Wanli period, Mengyang, Mubang, and Mengmi were all our Ming Dynasty territories. Now that our army has recovered the land of Sanwei, it is justifiable." "

He Xiangming sneered again: "It's ridiculous that the Tatar court actually let go of the lost territory in the southwest."

Not only the Weiyuan Camp Stone Stele, in a hundred years, when the British knock down Demasa, they will also find the seal of Demasa Xuanweisi left by the Ming Dynasty there.

However, Torhut in Central Asia was forced by Tsarist Russia and fled to the Qing Dynasty. What he took out was the Turhut seal given by Yongle.

You can imagine what Qianlong's expression was at that time. He couldn't be angry, but he had to reward him.

The Ming Dynasty's Western Route Army marched straight in. Chief Meng Gong didn't hesitate at all, and went directly to see the wind. Chief Meng Yang still wanted to bargain, but before he could gather his troops, he was assassinated by his nephew, and all his sons were slaughtered.

The chieftain of Mubang was horrified when he heard about Meng Yang's dramatic change, but he had no choice but to sit in Mubanggan and wait for his fate to be judged.

This was the case for the West Route Army. The East Route Army's 5,000 regular soldiers, together with 30,000 patrol troops, and 20,000 chariots and horses, went south directly from Chesi.

The chieftain Dao Shaowen in the car was young, so he was left behind in Xiaomeng. Only the regent leader Dao Ximengna led various local soldiers to attack Menggensi southward, together with the Menglian chieftain Dao Pai Ding next door.

Although there are not many regular troops in the East Route Army, the patrol troops of the Ming Dynasty and the New Dynasty can basically be regarded as the second-line troops under the regular army.

In particular, the 20,000 patrolmen of the East Route Army were all brave militiamen drawn from Yunnan, Guizhou, Guichuan, but they did not meet the requirements for enlistment in the new army, so they were transferred to the patrol force.

In order to cope with the war of conquest in Burma, these patrol soldiers took out excess matchlocks and flintlock guns from the military warehouse arsenal to assemble, and all of them were equipped with soldiers and armor. Even the civilian reserve soldiers were temporarily armed with swords, guns and cold weapons. weapon.

To the south of Menggensi are the two kings of Chiangmai and Nampang. The former was canonized by the Ming Dynasty and was named the Eight Hundred Xuanweisi. The famous Eight Hundred Daughters-in-law Kingdom is this Chiangmai King.

As long as the Ming army invades Menggen, Chiangmai and Lampang will definitely not sit idly by and help the Ming army fight Menggensi.

In the south, Siam and Vientiane in Laos are also preparing to send troops. When the time comes, they will be besieged from three sides, east, west and south. The Taungoo dynasty, which is already in a state of crisis, will definitely be difficult to cope with.
