Wanli 1592

Chapter 320 Chaos Before War
The Toungoo Dynasty has not been established for a long time, but it has indeed fought a lot of battles with neighboring countries. It has been fighting since Mang Yinglong started his foundation, and basically fought invincible opponents all over the surrounding areas. He even took the once traditional powerhouse Siam The country was beaten and subjugated several times, and the capital was burned several times. It can be seen that its force is strong, but the weakness of this country with strong force is obvious, that is, the civil service is not prosperous, and the country's foundation is insufficient.

The so-called lack of national heritage, in a word, means that the prosperity is fast and the decline is fast, just like the Alexander Empire, which was once short-lived, how arrogant it was when Alexander the Great was still alive, threatening to fight from the West to the East. The land is China, but it is a pity that Alexander died, and the great empire across Europe and Asia fell apart in an instant and ceased to exist. It only took 13 years.

A country with rich cultural background is like China. Even if it is in danger of subjugation, it has indeed perished several times, but in the end it can be restored by virtue of its strong heritage. Even when the Manchu Dynasty was in extreme decline, Western countries also clearly stated that there is no Any country can colonize and rule the whole of China.

That is the most precious wealth left to us by our ancestors, called the heritage.

The Toungoo dynasty was established for a short period of time, and most of the time was spent fighting. The civil society was not prosperous, and the people's sense of identity and following the country had not yet been fully established. The existence of Cao Cao was extremely powerful, but once Cao Cao left, the shortcomings of the country's lack of heritage were immediately revealed. If Cao Pi wanted to become emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty, he had to obtain the support of the gentry and the background of the gentry with the nine-rank Zhongzheng system.

If a country based on military force is to survive for a long time, culture is indispensable, and civil rule must flourish. The military government cannot last forever. Entering the stage of normal civilian government rule, the country's prosperity is maintained by force, and the state of diplomacy is very bad. Once a strong foreign enemy appears, the enemies that were suppressed in the past will attack in groups, and the country will instantly fall into crisis.

Such a state seems to confirm the situation of the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar today.

Since the news of the Ming army going south spread, the whole of Myanmar has been in an extremely unstable state. Those opposition groups who were suppressed by Mangyingli's military force in the past began to move around and kept making trouble for him. Today, the granary is on fire, and tomorrow The armory was stolen, the field was destroyed today, and tomorrow a large number of unidentified bandits appeared there and robbed the government's warehouse, leaving no money left.

The weak internal affairs foundation of the Toungoo Dynasty was completely destroyed. The war madman Mang Yingli finally realized the importance of infrastructure construction and the weakness of his control over the entire country. Before the Ming army came over, the whole country was already in turmoil. Rumors that the Siamese coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty had begun to attack had even spread in some important grain-producing garrisons, causing panic.

Mang Yingli led a team to attack the bandits here today, and led a team to move into the city tomorrow to maintain stability and explain the rumors. He was so busy that the sky was dark, but he still couldn't stop the panic and panic in the whole country. Under such a background, he asked again and again The Burmese army confronting the Ming army on the Yunnan border hastened their retreat. Don't be in love with the battle. Anyway, the Ming army can't catch up, so a small number of troops are left to stick to the dangerous point.

The weakness of his rule was evident at this moment, and it did not take long for the Mon people in Burma to rebel against his imposition of taxes.

In order to prepare for the upcoming war, he checked his warehouse and memory, and was surprised to find that he had basically used up all the property he had gained from years of fighting. Under the militarism, his country had no time to recuperate and could not provide him with enough Under the strong pressure of Daming and Siam, he had to pay more taxes to the tribes and people in the country.

In the 50 years since the founding of the Taungoo Dynasty, there has never been a year without war. In the first few decades, everyone became richer and stronger as they fought. The civilians below gave them enough time to give birth, but after the death of Mang Yinglong, Mang Yingli only noticed the benefits and pleasure brought by the war, but did not understand what was needed to start the war.

After the death of a group of capable veterans left by Mang Yinglong, the government in Mang Yingli gradually became weak and unable to organize the grassroots government to provide enough food and grass for the army.

Normal production cannot be maintained, and there is no money in Mangyingli, but money is needed for war, so what should I do?Then tax it!This is the only way to increase the war taxation again and again to barely maintain the progress of the war, but as time goes by, people's patience gradually reaches the limit.

Finally, the Mon people were unwilling to endure any longer. After learning the news that the Ming Dynasty and Siam were going to jointly attack Mangyingli, they decided to openly resist the rule of Mangyingli and never give the lifeline of their people to Mangyingli They would rather have the food eaten by their own people than give it to Mang Li.

When Mang Yingli learned about it, he was furious and yelled that he would lead the guards to attack. But since ancient times, trees fell, monkeys scattered walls and people pushed them away. The Meng uprising led to a wave of tribes who were unwilling to give food to the losers to revolt together. United, the southern territory of Myanmar is in flames, and Mang Yingli didn't know who to beat and who to beat, because everyone rebelled, and those who didn't rebel refused to pay taxes.

Mang Yingli was so mad that he wanted to mobilize the main force to quell the rebellion before dealing with Daming and Siam, but he was firmly blocked by his cronies.

"Your Majesty's enemies are the Ming Kingdom in the north and the Siamese. It's not them. They just don't want to pay taxes and don't intend to rebel against the country. But the Ming Kingdom and Siam are looking forward to our complete demise. Your Majesty, which one is better?" Is it our enemy? The Meng people will follow the victors, as long as we win, the Meng people will definitely give us supplementary food honestly, but now, we can't let the army lose too much!"

Although Mang Yingli was stunned by anger, he was not in a daze, and he knew the priorities. If he was defeated, then naturally everything would be over, but if he won, wouldn't these people let themselves be rubbed round?The Ming Kingdom has only been famous for a long time, but its insides have been ruined for a long time, and it is only strong on the surface. The Wa Kingdom is a waste country.He laughed!

These days, no one really dares to call himself a famous general!
