Chapter 606 Eastern Myanmar

Moulmein's garrison strength had all been deployed to suppress the rebellion as early as the rebellion of Baigu Governor Eda'ang.

In the entire Mawlamyine, there are only thousands of temporarily recruited civilians and soldiers.

The Burmese Governor-General Maduba had completely laid down and didn't care about Moulmein at all. The 50,000 Siamese army captured Moulmein in less than two days.

Then, 50,000 Siamese troops burned, killed, and looted the city, looting all of Moulmein. Fortunately, there are not many Mon people left in the city. The Mon people have long been driven to remote areas in the countryside by the Burmese.

Bolong Moge had enough to plunder in Mawlamyine, and then handed over Mawlamyine, which had been massacred into a dead city, to the Mon people.

The Meng people took over a dead city, but they were very happy because they really recovered Moulmein, and it was the King of Siam who helped them conquer it.

The news spread quickly, and countless Mon people in the countryside revolted and came over to help the Siamese army fight.

Further north, across the Salween River, is Maduba, the old capital of the Mon people!

The Meng people in Baigu soon learned that the Siamese army had also come to help in the battle. The news was relayed back and forth by Ming warships docked in Yangon. The Mon people did not trust the Siamese, but they trusted the Chinese who came to help them.

Under attack from the east and west by the Baigu Meng and Siamese armies, and the Ming army's warships blockading the sea ports, the Burmese Governor Maduba had no way to escape.

As expected, the eight cities of Madu were captured by the three-party coalition. The Siamese army looted the city again, but they restrained themselves and did not harass the Mon landowners.

The Meng people thus recovered the "Beijing" lands of Baigu and Madu.

Xu Yisheng, as the Ming Dynasty's envoy to Siam, came over to summon the leaders of the Meng people and the Min family. The reason why he was the leader of the two families, but King Meng of Baigu City, was because the previous King Meng was deposed.

After all, they are descendants of the Burmese royal family. With the support of the Chinese army, the Mon nobles of Baigu quickly deposed the previous king of Baigu, Simitao Buddha Jidi, and instead supported a monk named Nai Ge. king.

No, not one, but two. One group of Mongolian nobles supported the monk Nai Ge as the king of Baigu, and the other supported the leader of the Mongolian elephant soldiers, Pinyedala, as the king.

You can understand that the former is considered a Brahmin in India, and the latter is a Kshatriya, and it is really possible that this is the case.

After all, Lower Myanmar is still somewhat influenced by Indian culture. Now it is the "Brahmins" and "Kshatriyas" of Lower Myanmar who are competing for the throne and the right to speak.

In another time and space without the Ming army, first the "Brahmins" won, and then the "Kshatriyas" counterattacked with military power.

Xu Yisheng was quite speechless, but he did not interfere with the Meng people's affairs: "It doesn't matter who you support as King of Meng. I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, have decreed that I will support you Meng people in restoring Burma. By then, Maduba and Bai The ancient capital is your territory. You can move the capital to Maduba if you wish, or it doesn't matter if you continue to make the capital Baigu. Siam will not intrude on the Mon people. If they compete for the Meng people's land, the Mon people can complain directly to the Ming Emperor. "

The Meng people received China's promise and temporarily shelved the issue of who would be King Baigu. They first struggled with the Meng armies of Baigu and Maduba, and then, under Xu Yisheng's mediation and urging, they fought with the "Han people" of the Min family and the Siamese. Troops form a coalition.

The three-party coalition force was close to 100,000, and the Meng people provided logistical and food road support. They immediately sent their troops northward to attack Taungyu City.

The Burmese army in Taungoo was panicked and ignored the military orders of the Burmese king. They mobilized the Burmese militia with all their strength and retreated to defend Taungoo City.

One hundred thousand Meng, Minjia, and Siamese allied forces were blocked outside Taungoo City. In the eyes of the Chinese army, this city can only be regarded as an ordinary city, but for these small Southeast Asian countries, it is too strong and difficult to conquer for a while.

Eastern Myanmar.

King Bolong Moge of Siam sent an envoy to follow Xu Yisheng to put pressure on Chiangmai and Lampang, asking them to send troops immediately to cooperate with the Ming army in attacking Meng Gen.

Although Chiang Mai and Lampang were the first to rebel against the Taungoo Dynasty, since the rebellion was launched, Chiang Mai and Lampang have always behaved in a Buddhist manner, except for sending envoys to request China for canonization. Neither expanding territory nor actively provoking wars, the former Burmese king Daningene felt that his authority had been challenged, so he repeatedly sent troops to conquer Chiang Mai.

The king of Burma died, a new king changed, and the country in Toungoo was unstable. Ming Dynasty China launched troops against Burma, preparing to end it once and for all.

As the Eight Hundred Divisions conferred by the Ming Emperor, Wengkan just took the opportunity to push his territory to the front line of the Salween River, and then planned to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

"China is strong and we cannot disobey the will of the Chinese emperor."

"But the Emperor of China has never helped us fight wars before, so why are we helping to send troops now?"

"But China and Siam have joined forces. China is far away, but Siam is very close. What if we don't send troops and the Chinese emperor and the Siamese king conquer Chiang Mai?"

"The Burmese of the Taungoo Dynasty are no longer good. They can't even defeat us. Meng Gen follows the Burmese and will be finished sooner or later. He should defect immediately."

"The Burmese and Meng Gen are indeed going to die, so we don't have to worry about Chiang Mai. We don't have to be so anxious to send troops."

"..."

The King of Chiangmai (Eight Hundred Si) Ongkan, who took the lead in raising troops to rebel against the Burmese, may be called stupid or smart. Although he already felt that the Burmese and Meng Gen were destined to perish, this guy still did not forget to preserve his strength and sit on the mountain to watch the fight between tigers and tigers.

Anyway, he has never thought about expanding his territory. Guarding this three-thirds of an acre, whether it is the King of Chiang Mai or the eight hundred consolation envoys canonized by the Chinese Emperor, will not stop him from wanting to be the local emperor of Chiang Mai.

Weng Kan first replied to China and Siam, saying that he would definitely send troops, and immediately issued orders to the various ministries in Chiang Mai to collect grain and mobilize the chieftain army. At least on the surface, he did enough.

After all the superficial work has been done, it will take time to raise so much food and grass, mobilize so many troops, and cooperate with the Chinese army to attack Meng Gen.

This guy even sent an envoy to ask the Chinese army in Chesi when it would be appropriate to raise their troops and march north. In short, it was just a delay.

Lampang next door to Chiang Mai is similar. By the time they really send out troops like this, Meng Gen's battle will probably be almost over.

Just here in Chiang Mai and Lampang, we are thinking of ways to preserve our strength and prepare to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. The three chieftains of Menggen, Zhengqian (Qingkeng) and Mengyong in northeastern Myanmar suddenly united and rebelled, killing the Burmese general Gian Nora in the south.

The Ming Dynasty's inspection army and the chieftain army in Cheche had just moved south from Xiao Mengyang. Meng Gen, Zheng Qian, and Meng Yong, the chieftains of northeastern Myanmar, fell out with the Burmese first.

The allied forces from the east route arrived at Daluo, and the sentinel cavalry reported: "General, Chief Meng Gen's soldiers have noticed that our army is heading south and have withdrawn from Daluo City. The chieftain of Daluo City is sending envoys to surrender."

The temporary general of the Ming Dynasty's East Route Army was named Sun Yan. He couldn't help but look strange: "Chief Meng Gen, have you always run so fast?"

Daoxi nodded in confusion: "The general doesn't know something. Chief Meng Gen has always been cunning and cunning. Although they withdrew from Daluo, it was all because the imperial court sent troops. Once the imperial court withdrew, they would definitely invade and occupy Daluo again, or even invade. Banna in the car.”

It is impossible for the imperial court to withdraw its troops. The new Ming Dynasty is not the same as the previous Ming and Manchu Qing Dynasties. Even the soldiers, horses and civilians have almost mobilized 100,000 people. There are more chieftain soldiers accompanying them, and they have connected so many Southeast Asian vassal forces. Naturally, it is impossible to occupy such a small amount of land just for Meng Gensi.

The Eastern Route Allied Forces directly took over Daluo City and rested here for a while. Then the forward troops continued to move south, and countless scouts and sentries were sent out.

Now, the three chieftains Meng Gen, Zheng Qian, and Meng Yong were all panicked. They all turned against the Burmese and even vomited out their land. Isn't that enough?
