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

Chapter 601: Feud

There was internal chaos in the Mon rebel army in Baigu City, Burma. First, the Burmese governor Oda Aung, who took the lead in revolting against the Toungoo dynasty, was killed by his trusted subordinates.

Then the new leader became nepotistic and began to promote a large number of Burmese generals, and the Mon people were completely squeezed out of the ruling class.

So the Meng people were not happy, so they joined forces with the "Min family" to rebel, killed the new leader, and established Simitao Buddha Jidi, who had been hiding in the "Min family", as King Baigu.

Yes, this Buddha Ji Emperor is also a Burmese, and he is also the son of Bagan Governor Deqin Xinnanxai (Toungoo royal family) who failed in the rebellion more than ten years ago.

As for the "Min family", these people are more legendary. In "Tengyue Prefecture Chronicle", the "Min family" and "Gui family" are considered to be the descendants of Yongli after entering Myanmar, but later generations also think that they are After Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, their tribes retreated to Myanmar.

Others believe that these are a branch of the Dai and Meng people, but are ethnic groups that have been highly sinicized after intermarriage with Han immigrants.

However, no matter which they are, they all have a deep hatred for the Burmese.

The Meng people did not know how to fight, so they joined forces with the "Min family" to support a descendant of the Toungoo royal family whose rebellion failed, thus forming a quite complex rebel force.

It quickly established a foothold in Baigu City, and borders Chiang Mai and Lampang, relying on each other as horns.

……

Ava, the capital of Taungoo, Myanmar.

The Burmese king Mahatamaya Sadepat inherited not a strong Burma, but a war-torn Toungoo dynasty, in which ethnic conflicts were seriously intensified and the country was in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, the Chinese army gathered at the border a few months ago. Now, according to northern merchants, they seem to have marched into Meng Gong." The uncle of the Burmese king, Ta Tao Ming Gong, reported.

Emperor Suadibo, the king of Burma, said: "Then issue a gathering order to the governors of various places, and let them assemble their armies and march north to the city of Ava, King Qin. The Chinese cannot invade Meng Gong just to occupy Meng Yang, and Meng Yang has already surrendered. Myanmar cannot be surrendered to these Chinese."

However, he worriedly said: "But the Mon people in the south are also rebelling. If King Qin's troops from all over the country are dispatched to Ava City, Myanmar's military strength will be empty. Those Mon people will not worry about it, but there is no guarantee that the Siamese will not take the opportunity to invade. .”

Emperor Saadibo shook his head: "I don't care about that much anymore. The Chinese are strong and we should deal with them first. Those Siamese are nothing to worry about. Moreover, lower Burma is full of untouchables like the Mon and Kachin, so there is no need to worry."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He surrendered his hands and obeyed his orders.

Emperor Sadhibot still had an inertial mindset, believing that China was strong and would prioritize dealing with the Chinese army, while the Mon, Dai, and Kachin were all untouchables, just slaves enslaved by the Burmese, and had nothing to worry about.

Well, there is really nothing to worry about. As the second largest ethnic group in Myanmar, the Mon people have been oppressed and exploited by the Burmese for a long time.

Emperor Sodibo, the new king of Toungoo, almost never cared about the Meng uprising from the time he ascended the throne to the destruction of the country.

During the first half of his reign, he sent troops to attack Manipur several times. If he couldn't defeat it, he would continue to fight in the next year. Maybe it was to boost the morale of the army, and then he actually won some victories.

Although these only victories were all won on home soil.

Under such premise, the Mon people won many battles in Lower Burma. They continuously launched the Northern Expedition and successively captured Pathein and Pyay. Even Bagan was captured by the Mon people. The entire Lower Burma became Mon territory.

Within a few years, the city of Ava was pushed north by a wave of Meng people, and the Toungoo dynasty came to an end.

Burma, which later went to war with the Qing Dynasty, was the result of the brutal rule of the Mon people, and the Burmese people resisted while establishing the Gongbang Dynasty. Moreover, those who fought back and forth with Qianlong were the partial divisions of the Gongbang Dynasty army. They were originally planning to take a detour to fight Siam, but the detoured route was Chesi under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

While Ava City issued orders to the governors of all directions to mobilize troops to serve the king, it also forcibly recruited the Mon people, Dai people, and Han people in the suburbs to urgently strengthen the capital's city defenses.

"Urgent news from the south! Urgent news from the south!" A clipper suddenly came from the south and brought back an urgent military message.

Emperor Saadibo summoned the messenger and asked, "Is there something strange happening to the Meng people in Baigu?"

The messenger shook his head: "No, it was the Chinese army that came from the sea. The Mon people have now united with the Chinese army, and all of Lower Burma has been lost. The Siamese army has also been dispatched from the side, and the governors of Maduba and Dawei have surrendered to Siam. , Governor Pyay asked me to come to Ava to ask for help from His Majesty."

He was surprised: "If the Chinese army is attacking Meng Yang from the north, why would they cross the sea from the south to attack?"

Crossing the sea from the south were the partial divisions from Guangnan that cooperated with the advance. They landed directly from the Irrawaddy River by boat. Following this river to the north, they could fight all the way to Ava City, the capital of Myanmar, without having to worry about their old capital Toungoo City. .

By the way, the Meng people also followed this route in their subsequent Northern Expedition.

After the Ming Dynasty laid out its plans in the past few years, the craftsmen sent out were not just for free. Together with the merchants, these craftsmen went to Lower Burma to do business. They soon obtained a lot of important military information from the Mon people, and they also found that almost all of Lower Burma was Mongolian. Human territory.

The Mon people have also been oppressed by the Burmese for a long time. The Mon people who rebelled in Baigu are only the first wave. As long as they can achieve some victory, the Mon people in other areas will inevitably rise up.

The Ming Dynasty crossed the sea and killed a partial army. Its main function was to support the Mon people in Baigu and encourage the Mon people in Burma to rebel. Then they took these Mon people, together with the northern army and the Siamese army, to besiege and attack the Burmese people. Ava City.

The partial division that crossed the sea in Guangnan was really just a partial division with only 3000 troops. The leading general was Lin Jin, who was originally the deputy general Xu Jin brought to Guangnan.

When such a partial Ming army landed on the Irrawaddy River, all the Mon people in Lower Burma were immediately inspired. The Chinese emperor actually sent a large army to help the Mon people. So what are you waiting for if you haven't revolted yet?

First, the Mon people in Zhiliu Pyo City launched an uprising, killed the Burmese bureaucrats, and massacred all the Burmese nobles and landlords in the city. Then Sayyawati, Kaibang... followed one after another in revolt against the Burmese bureaucrats and landlords. 's rule.

Among these Burmese noble landowners, those who ran fast could still survive, but those who ran slowly were all slaughtered by the Mon people who were usually oppressed and suddenly turned around.

Even the ordinary people of the Burmese people, many of the red-eyed Meng people were slaughtered along with them, and those who were lucky enough to survive were all transformed from civilians into slaves.

Just like the Burmese people during the past two hundred years, the Mon people and Dai people under their rule were also slaves and untouchables.

Lin Jin, as the commander-in-chief of this troop dispatch, had already boarded the boat across the river: "Lower Burma has been captured, and we can go directly to Ava City. If we kill at this speed, maybe we can get ahead of the Northern Route Army." , hit the city of Ava."

Temporary staff officer Chen Chaohong said: "We don't have to be too fast. We don't have many troops, only 3000 people. If we are besieged by the Taungoo Burmese army, we may be in some trouble."

Lin Jin felt a little regretful: "Although those Meng people are very friendly to our Ming Dynasty soldiers, they send food and ships. But their army's combat effectiveness is really poor. Otherwise, if we include these Meng people, we will be able to defeat them." The capital of Myanmar, Ava, was captured.”

The Mon people who went to Burma not only responded to the rebellion, but even sent food and ships, and also sent troops to help the Chinese army fight.

Historically, Lower Burma was the land of Longxing of the Toungoo Dynasty. The Burmese were also responsible for fighting, while the Mon people, who were not good at fighting, were responsible for providing money, food and shipping.

The two ethnic groups cooperated perfectly. In just thirty years, the Burmese conquered Burma and also destroyed Siam.

But it is a pity that the main ethnic group in Lower Myanmar is the Mon people, and the entire Lower Myanmar is the territory of the Mon people. The Burmese who are the most capable of fighting and establishing the Toungoo dynasty are actually ethnic minorities here.

The conflict just broke out!

In order to maintain their rule, the Taungoo dynasty spared no effort to suppress the Mon people in Myanmar, including but not limited to massacres and forceful suppression, which led to one after another rebellion among the Mon people.

Until now, the Mon people and the Burmese people have long been feuding.
