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

Chapter 619 The Chinese Army is a good person

The Burmese army on the city wall fled, and the entire Sagaing City no longer had any resistance. It was just the chieftain army and the Gui family Han army carrying wooden ladders to attack the city.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the city wall was successfully occupied, the city gate was opened, and the Ming army outside was allowed to enter the city.

He Xiangming mounted his war horse and led an army into the city first. As soon as he could see, the city was in chaos.

Crying, shouting, and the sound of various weapons clashing could be heard one after another.

The streets were filled with fleeing Burmese people, and many places were even directly set on fire by the rioting Burmese army.

When He Xiangming led his army into the city, the first thing he did was to maintain order and put out the fire. He didn't care if the houses of the Burmese people were burned. The problem was that the granaries and goods in the city could not be burned.

With the intervention of the Ming army, the fire in the city was quickly brought under control.

The mutiny and internal strife that occurred in King Burma's "palace" in the center of the city also ended quickly with the participation of the Ming army.

A group of noble generals who participated in the mutiny, with their own private armies, knelt respectfully to greet the Ming general.

The King of Burma, Emperor Suadibo, and his cronies, the "treacherous minister" Zhan Duomang, had been captured by their own king's soldiers, and they knelt directly in front of He Xiangming's horse.

He Xiangming didn't even dismount, but looked coldly at Emperor Suadibo who was kneeling on the ground and shivering: "Are you the king of Myanmar?"

Emperor Suo Di Bo quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Please spare my life, Lord General of the Heavenly Dynasty, spare my life! I can double the money you want... no, ten times the compensation. Even if I can't pay it in a short time, as long as I can spare my life." I will definitely pay it back with my life.”

The majestic king of a country, even the adults shouted out.

Moreover, I am willing to pay ten times the compensation for 300,000 taels of silver. This is 3 million taels of silver. Even if the Myanmar treasury is emptied, I am afraid that I will not be able to get so much money (it is only the treasury).

After hearing the translated words, He Xiangming despised the Burmese king even more. Not to mention the king's courage to die for the country, he had already been captured. He was still thinking about treason and begging for mercy, and he did not hesitate to spend three million taels of silver in exchange for his life.

Myanmar like this really deserves the end of its dynasty and its demise.

He Xiangming looked at the uneasy aristocratic generals who were kneeling on the ground. Although he was equally disgusted and disdainful in his heart, he still said: "You did a good job. You turned from darkness to light in time and captured the rebel kings and ministers of Myanmar alive. You can rest assured, as long as the next step is to If you can be obedient and cooperate with my Ming army, then I can report to Your Majesty for permission to retain your titles and fiefs."

He took the risk of launching a mutiny and even captured the Burmese king and offered it to the Chinese army to surrender. Now he finally got the promise of the Chinese general.

These noble generals were finally overjoyed: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of tomorrow! Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Tomorrow!"

For these Burmese aristocratic landowners, it doesn't really matter who becomes the king. As long as their land and titles are not taken away, even if the Mon or Dai people become the kings of their Burmese people, they can reluctantly accept it.

However, the Mon people in history were unwilling and instead massacred and suppressed all the Burmese people, and were quickly overthrown by Yong Ji Ya.

It took less than five years from the time when Taungu was destroyed by the Meng people to when the Meng people were destroyed by Yong Jiya.

The Ming Dynasty's current plan for Myanmar is to first support the Mon people in lower Burma and rebuild the Bago dynasty, and then support the Dai people in central Burma and rebuild the Ava dynasty, or the Bagan dynasty, depending on what the Dai people like.

By then, if northern Burma completely changes its rule, those relatively powerful chieftains can be thrown to central Burma, where they can bully the Burmese people.

Fortunately, the land in central Myanmar is fertile and the water transportation is developed, which is definitely much better than the poor mountains and valleys in northern Myanmar. These chieftains in northern Myanmar will not refuse this good deal.

Moreover, the Dai dynasty in Central Myanmar relied on the support of Ming China to come together and successfully establish a country.

The Dai people in Central Burma and the Mon people in Lower Burma will become puppets of Ming China, and the ruling classes of these two countries, one is Dai and the other is Mon, are both second-class citizens of Myanmar.

Once he becomes the master, he will definitely work together to suppress the Burmese.

At that time, fierce conflicts will inevitably break out between the Burmese nobles who surrendered and retained their fiefdoms and titles, and the emerging Dai and Mon nobles, which will trigger endless internal friction in the country. In addition, the Ming Dynasty controlled important territory in the north. The Dai people in Central Burma and the Mon people in Lower Burma may be able to live in peace for a short time, but over time, war will inevitably break out between the two countries.

Because they had no place to expand and cultivate, with Siam to the east and Arakan to the west. Lower Burma controlled the benefits of maritime trade, and Central Burma could produce three crops a year.

No matter which side started the war, the Ming Dynasty would have reason to intervene and wait for the opportunity to go south to expand and annex the territory. It can be said that it was calculated and calculated.

Of course, these are all things in the future. Even if a war breaks out, it is unlikely to happen for more than ten or twenty years.

At least now, these Burmese noble lords who are kneeling on the ground are all secretly happy. Sure enough, it is right to launch a mutiny and sacrifice the faint king and "treacherous ministers" to the Chinese army. These people have indeed been forgiven by China, and can retain their fiefdoms and titles in the future, and can continue to be their noble lords.

He Xiangming made these people a little happy, and then ordered: "Since you have surrendered, you should go down immediately and work with my Ming army to maintain order in the city."

"Yes."

These noble generals of the Burmese army quickly surrendered and obeyed orders.

And they were all sincere, not even daring to take advantage of the opportunity to plunder even a penny of silver. Instead, they tried their best to cooperate with the Ming army to maintain public order in the city.

They also took out all the gold, silver, money and food that Emperor Suadibo, the king of Burma, had previously collected and donated them to the Ming army. Not only did they not deduct any money, they also handed over all those who had previously taken advantage of the opportunity to enrich their own pockets.

He Xiangming accepted all the gold, silver, money and food, but the precious scriptures and relics collected from the temples were all intact, and he sent people back to those temples one by one.

Wei Min said: "These Burmese scriptures and relics are not of much use to us. But according to the merchants who come to Myanmar to do business, the Burmese, Mon people, and even many Dai people in Burma, They all believe in it. Returning these useless things to their temples can gain the favor of these Burmese temples, which is beneficial and harmless."

It is indeed beneficial and harmless. Returning these scriptures and relics to the Burmese temple will definitely not be returned in vain.

The Ming Dynasty's army entered Myanmar to launch a war, but it just lacked the support of some local public opinion in Myanmar. These Burmese temple monks are the most powerful support for religious public opinion.

Those Burmese temples were also quite religious. When the Ming Dynasty returned the scriptures and relics to them, these temples immediately sent a large number of monks to promote the good deeds and Buddha's heart of the Ming Dynasty's troops.

Anyway, the fault of this military disaster is not the fault of the Ming Dynasty, it is all because of the good deeds of the Burmese King. The Chinese Ming Dynasty only came to take back the land in northern Myanmar, but the Burmese king launched a war against the Chinese Ming Dynasty for the land that did not belong to Myanmar. Moreover, they imposed excessive taxes and expropriations, which resulted in the devastation of life and the death of many people.

In the end, the Burmese king also offended the Buddha and invaded the temple, which was the greatest disrespect.

Heavenly China, on the other hand, respects the Buddha. Not only did it not embezzle Buddhist relics, but it also returned them as gifts.

Under the operation of the Burmese monks, all the Burmese people and soldiers in the city soon believed that the Chinese army were good people. It was the Burmese king who insisted on breaking out a war and provoking China, which was why so many of them died. .

Yes, although the people who died were all killed by the Chinese army, it was all the fault of the foolish king of Burma.

If the Burmese king hadn't been fatuous and extortionate, they wouldn't have fought the Chinese army here.

Even many noble generals believed the nonsense of those temple monks.

If it were not for the war with the Chinese army, they would still be in their own territory and be their local emperors!

Sagaing City is not a small city, and it is very close to Ava. As soon as the Ming army lifts the blockade, the opinions here will soon drift to Ava and spread throughout Myanmar.

Don’t underestimate the political influence of Myanmar monks. Religious opinions are often the most unreasonable.
