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

Chapter 607 Meng Gen

Among the three chieftains, Meng Gen, Meng Yong, and Zheng Qian, they were basically headed by Chief Meng Gen, Zhao Meng Rong.

Tusi Menggen was originally supposed to have the surname Dao, while the surname Zhao belongs to the Dai ethnic group, and the Han meaning means king.

Tusi Menggen has always believed that he is the king of Menggen Mansion, rather than simply the chieftain of China and Myanmar. They have deceived all China and Myanmar.

Of course, it is also possible that each of them deliberately pretended not to know. After all, there would not be much profit from conquering this poor place, and Chief Meng Gen only called himself Zhao in his own territory.

"How to do how to do?"

Meng Gen (Jingdong) Chieftain Mansion, summoned Meng Rong and was running around anxiously.

He had already spit out Daluo, and even retreated dozens of miles at a time, giving up a lot of land. The Chinese army was still not satisfied.

This guy is young and in his prime when he succeeds to the throne. He has not fully enjoyed the power brought by the chieftain, and he is about to be destroyed.

Not only Chief Meng Gen was in panic, Zhengqian Tumu Zhaojiao and Fengyong Tumu Zhaogong were also as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

You know, the combined strength of their two families is not even as strong as Chief Meng Gen summoning Meng Rong.

Zhaoyuan, the eldest son of Zhengqian Tumu Zhaojiao, said: "Father, why not just surrender to the Chinese imperial court! Anyway, in these years, Menggen Tusi has caused the most troubles, and we are just followers. Moreover, we are of the same clan as Cheche Tusi. , as long as you sincerely surrender, nothing big should happen."

After hearing this, Zhaojiao did not reprimand him, but was rather moved because his son was right. Zheng Qianzhao and Cheshi Dao were from the same family, but the leader of the gangsters under Cheshi was originally called Ba Xianchao. , the chieftains often invaded and plundered.

The chieftain in the car also liked to be friendly with others. In anger, the chieftain Zhengqian defected to Burma and became the chieftain of Burma.

Now, it is nothing more than surrendering again, and the whole force is weak, and has never invaded the territory under the jurisdiction of Chesi's village. Those plunderings led by the army were basically bad things done by Meng Gen.

Zhengqian Tumu thought of surrendering, but the brave Tumu Zhaogong, who directly bordered Menggen next door, not only wanted to surrender, but also took the opportunity to stab Menggen in the back.

This guy directly called his brother Zhao Nuola, took 500 brave soldiers, and went north to join the Ming Dynasty patrol army in Daluo.

Sun Yan had just gone south from Daluo and not far away when he saw 500 chieftain soldiers who had come to surrender: "In this battle, only Chieftain Menggen will be killed. The rest of the chieftains will abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side in time. Our Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can all be punished lightly."

Zhao Gong was overjoyed: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard of the army and attack the Menggen Rebellion for His Majesty the Ming Emperor."

Sun Yan nodded. The decree issued by the court was indeed to attack only Meng Gen. As for the other small natives, they surrendered voluntarily and could be temporarily exempted from punishment.

Of course, this is only temporary. Brothers Meng Yong Zhao Gong are willing to take the initiative to join the army and help the Ming army fight. There will definitely be no problem in saving their lives.

But it should be impossible to keep the current chieftain's territory. These lands will inevitably be rehabilitated.

Even if the soil reform is not completed for the time being, we must at least deprive them of their power and change them to the magistrates, county magistrates, and town mayors.

After marching for several more days, Zheng Qian Zhaojiao and his son finally sent an envoy to request China to be included in the war. They also sent 300 chieftains to help in the battle.

At this point, two of the three chieftain families defected in the face of battle, leaving Chief Menggen completely isolated and helpless.

Chief Meng Gen summoned Meng Rong to send an envoy in a hurry, requesting that the Chinese court be attached.

Daoxi was puzzled and opened his mouth to dissuade him: "General, don't believe this guy's lies. Chief Menggen has always bullied the weak and feared the strong. As long as the general withdraws his troops today, they will surrender and rebel again tomorrow. Moreover, Chief Menggen still calls himself Zhao. The surname Zhao means the royal family. Chief Meng Gen is proclaiming himself king, which is a great disrespect to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."

When Sun Yan heard this, he immediately stared and asked, "Is that so?"

Envoy Meng Gen didn't know what to say. Not only him, but also the fierce and brave people who had surrendered and Zheng Qian Tumu were a little embarrassed because they were also named Zhao.

It's just that their surname is just for enjoying themselves behind closed doors. Who dares to really call himself the King of Earth to the outside world.

Even Chesi Si sometimes called himself Zhao in private. As the imperial court paid more and more attention to the southwest frontier, the surname Zhao was gradually dropped.

When Sun Yan saw Meng Gen's envoy hesitating, he immediately shouted angrily: "Go away! If Chief Meng Gen truly surrenders, he will go to Nanjing in person and ask for surrender to His Majesty the Ming Emperor. And this surname is just a chieftain. Without me, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, to confer the title, you actually dare to proclaim yourself king, it is simply unreasonable!"

Meng Gen's envoy returned to Jingdong in despair, while Zhao Meng Rong was still struggling with how to break the situation.

"He summoned Meng Rong to deceive China and plunder the Chesi border without permission. Now His Majesty the Emperor of China is furious and has sent a hundred thousand troops to conquer."

"Zhao Mengrong is no longer qualified to be Chief Meng Gen!"

"Only by killing Zhao Meng Rong and changing his surname back to Dao can His Majesty the Emperor of China forgive Meng Gen."

"Kill Zhao Mengrong and change his surname back to Dao!" "..."

The person who was lobbying was Zhao Mengbi, the brother of Menggen Chieftain Zhao Mengrong. This guy and Zhao Mengrong were in charge of Meng Gen. Historically, the two brothers soon broke out in civil strife due to a power struggle.

First, Zhao Mengbi's son Zhao San falsely accused Zhao Meng Rong, which led to Zhao Meng Rong being convicted and dismissed from his post by the Burmese. Then Zhao Meng Rong's son Zhao Bing defected to the Qing army, and with the help of the Qing army, he defeated Zhao San and regained the position of chieftain of Meng Gen. .

Subsequently, the Qing Dynasty left the Menggen chieftain alone and allowed the Gongbang Dynasty to invade and occupy this place. They also claimed that they had canonized the place. Burma and Menggen were both Chinese territories.

Now, the Chinese army has sent troops to attack, and it is clear that they want to attack Meng Gensi.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, after the failure of the southwestern chieftain rebellion, their methods of asking for forgiveness from the court were always simple and crude.

If the chieftain's rebellion fails, then just kill the chieftain, sacrifice his head, and ask for forgiveness from the court.

As long as the commotion is not too big, the court will usually acquiesce and canonize the brothers as new chieftains. The key is whoever kills will be canonized.

Only when the rebellion is very serious, such as the Miao uprising in Guzhou, which spreads to six provinces, will it be suppressed hard and then returned to the country.

Now Zhao Mengbi has seen an opportunity. The problem with Chief Meng Gen is not big or small. It is just that the bandits robbed Chesi and did not rebel against the Chinese imperial court.

Then kill all the brother's family, kill all the chieftains who have joined his brother, and cede a large piece of land. Meng Yang can also cede it in exchange for the forgiveness of the Chinese court.

Brothers, friends and brothers, we have traditional arts.

Zhao Mengrong reacted quickly and hurriedly summoned the army of the Tusi Mansion to defend.

Zhao Mengbi came to the front of the battle in person to persuade him to surrender: "People inside, listen, His Majesty the Emperor of China only kills the chief culprits. The only guilty ones are chieftain Zhao Mengrong and his line. As long as you kill Zhao Mengrong, you can get the forgiveness of the Chinese court."

Zhao Meng Rong was furious: "What do you mean by killing only the first culprit? The Chinese emperor obviously wants the entire Meng Gensi. You are my brother. If you kill me today, you will not end well tomorrow!"

Zhao Mengbi said: "His Majesty the Chinese Emperor is kind, brave, and loyal to the chieftains. The Chinese Emperor can forgive him. As long as my brother is dead, the Chinese army will definitely not make things difficult for me, Meng Gen. For Meng Gen, for the Zhao family. ...No, this is the Dao clan, please go to your death obediently, brother! Listen to the people inside, as long as you defect now and capture Zhao Mengrong for his rebellion, I will forgive you."

Zhao Meng Rong's eyes were about to burst: "Asshole."

The two sides soon started fighting. The Tusi Mansion had insufficient troops and rushed to fight. Moreover, Zhao Mengbi had previously persuaded him to surrender, and the gate was quickly breached.

Zhao Mengrong and his trusted chieftain troops fought and retreated, but in the end they were still outnumbered. Zhao Mengbi not only had his own troops, but also summoned the troops of several chieftains such as Zhao Mengzhao and Zhao Mengmeng.

More than ten times the force surrounded the chieftain's mansion, and Zhao Mengrong was unable to resist. The chieftain soldiers around him died one by one, and soon only Zhao Mengrong was left.

Zhao Mengrong was covered in blood and looked at Zhao Mengbi who was walking up: "You killed your brother for glory. Even if you are forgiven by the Chinese Emperor for a while, Meng Gensi will never be able to survive stably."

Zhao Mengbi sneered: "What happens to Meng Gensi in the future has nothing to do with my brother. Please lead me to death immediately, so that I can take my brother's head to make amends to the Chinese army."

Zhao Mengrong still wanted to stand up and fight for his life, but he had already suffered multiple stab wounds on his body just after fighting hard.

Zhao Mengbi saw Zhao Meng Rong making a move and cut him down with his sword. Zhao Meng Rong died in the hands of his own brother.

Zhao Mengbi succeeded in occupying the chieftain's mansion, and then he was rewarded with a lot of rewards. The summons were fierce and fierce, and these Tusi eyes became Zhao Mengbi's cronies. Zhao Mengbi then ordered to go to various places to raid those who were loyal to Zhao Mengbi. Meng Rong's Tumu Village.

Zhao Mengbi himself led some chieftain troops and went north to meet the Chinese army.

The straight-line distance from Daluo to Jingdong is only more than 400 miles, and the middle is basically a river valley terrain, which can be traveled by troops.

As soon as Sun Yang led the coalition forces to clear the first pass, Zhao Mengbi had already brought his troops over and opened the door to welcome them at the subsequent passes.

This guy even went alone, knelt down and knelt down to worship: "The last general, Dao Mengbi, pays homage to the General of Ming Dynasty! Dao Meng Rong, the rebellious chieftain who disrespected China, has been killed, and the general is invited to take over the jurisdiction of Meng Gen."

The Ming Dynasty East Road Allied Forces marched all the way and broke through the Meng Gen Tu Pass with force, and then easily seized all the chieftain territory in northeastern Myanmar.

Sun Yan felt a little speechless, but there was nothing he could do no matter how speechless he was. He couldn't continue to fight!

Chieftain Menggen and his family were all slaughtered, and his younger brother came alone to ask for surrender.

Historically, the Qing army in the middle period of the Qing-Burmese War was like this. They easily took over a large area of ​​the chieftain territory in northern Myanmar without even fighting a battle. Almost all of them came to surrender in large tracts.

Of course, Meng Gen does not have to fight for the time being, but Meng Gen's chieftain army must all accompany the army to help in the battle, and they must supply the Ming Dynasty's East Route Army with food, grass, and civilians.
