Wanli Xinming

Chapter 194
Manmo's chieftain's name is Sizhe, and his wife's name is rare. For many years, he has been living in the crack between the Ming court and Dongyu.

In the first year of Wanli, Sizhe found that the strategic contraction of the Ming court made it impossible to keep the land of three declarations and six comforts.In particular, the Yunnan authorities turned a blind eye to Yue Feng's murder of Doshining, invaded Longchuan and invaded western Yunnan, which greatly stimulated Sizhe.

After careful consideration, he and his father-in-law Mubang Tusi Hanba, and Yue Feng of Longchuan, joined forces with Mang Yinglong to tear down the imperial red card and raised the flag of rebellion.Five years before Wanli, these groups cooperated with Toungoo and gradually invaded the Tusi territory outside Yunnan Gate, and pushed their forces to the vicinity of the border of Ming Dynasty.

Mang Yinglong's gathering of troops to attack Meng Yang this time was also a helpless move.Last year, he led the army in waves, was robbed of food supplies by Si A, and almost wiped out the entire army.Later, he was rescued by Yue Feng with [-] elite soldiers, otherwise a generation of heroes would die in Mengyang.

Although the Toungoo Dynasty established a grammar, the domestic county system was not mature, and it was still the main body of the country built on the alliance of the major chieftains.The defeat of Mang Yinglong in Mengyang led to a decrease in his prestige, coupled with years of military force, there were signs of instability in the country, especially in the newly occupied territories of Laos and Siam, and uprisings of various sizes occurred one after another.

Therefore, Mang Yinglong must take down Meng Yang neatly and restore his prestige as the lord of his kingdom.In the seventh year of Wanli in the original time and space, he completely captured Meng Yang, imprisoned Si Yi and starved to death, thus stabilizing the regime.

However, in this time and space, because of Zhu Yijun's indiscriminate entry, a butterfly effect occurred.Mang Yinglong, stimulated by the governor of Yunnan, Xuwen, gathered troops to attack Mengyang in advance, and just met the army led by Liu Xian at Manmo.

After the two sides discovered each other, Mang Yinglong hurriedly invited Yue Feng, the think tank, and gathered the chiefs to discuss how to deal with the enemy.

Yue Feng is from Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. He went to Longchuan with his father to do business, and then settled in Longchuan.At first, it was the recording room of Duo Shining, the chieftain of Longchuan. Duo Shining had a weak character and was appointed with great power.Yue Feng was very ambitious. In the sixth year of Longqing, he poisoned and killed Duoshin, and took advantage of the contradiction between Mubang Hanba and Duoshining, borrowed five thousand troops from Hanba, raided Longchuan, and killed Duoshinin. A family of more than 600 people was massacred and occupied Longchuan, and was named the leader of Longchuan by the Toungoo Dynasty.

Because Yue Feng's actions were neat and tidy, outsiders did not know the details of the Longchuan coup at the beginning, except for a few people such as Mang Yinglong and Hanba.Later, due to the slow speed of information transmission at that time and the deliberate suppression of the governor of Yunnan, the court did not know that Longchuan had changed its owner.Before Wang Ning's defeat was beheaded by Zhu Yijun, Yue Feng's sins were heard in the sky - it can be seen that although Wang Ning and others died, it was not enough to atone for their sins.

Because Yue Feng had read books in Han Dynasty, and he was also very smart, after joining Dongyu, he became the most important staff of Dongyu Wang Mang Yinglong.At this time, he also brought along five thousand soldiers from Longchuan, and followed Mang Yinglong to attack Meng Yang.

After Mang Yinglong gathered the generals, he told the scale of the Ming army that the scouts were investigating, and asked them how much the army would go.

Hanba was the chieftain of Mubang, and he belonged to one of the best forces in southwestern Yunnan.After Yue Feng killed Duoshi Ning, he brought Mubang Hanba, Menglian Tusi Dao Shen, and Mang Yinglong's eldest son Mang Yingli, and the big bandits Tengchong, Yongchang, Dali, Menghua, Shunning and other places to earn money. of pours.

After years of victories, Hampa's contempt for the Ming army has gone deep into his bones.After listening to Mang Yinglong's question, he replied in Burmese: "Nie Fei Ye Nie Baa (Your Majesty), the Han people are nothing to be afraid of! When I led troops to attack them before, I never met a warrior. Nangwu I can testify that Wu Jixun from Menglinzhai was the most courageous Han Chinese we met, and was killed by the Nangwu formation! And what did the Han court do?

The Nangwu mentioned by Hanba was the eldest son of Yue Feng.And the governor Wang Ning, who "suppressed with tranquility" to govern Yunnan, did not raise troops to retaliate, and because Dengzhou Tusi A Yu and Yue Feng were linked, Wang Ning moved his book to A Yu after losing the land and tried to appease Yue Feng - if he could Success, Long Chuan, who was replaced by the chieftain, was still under the rule of the imperial court in Wang Ning's wonderful brain circuit.

The fact that Wu Jixun was beheaded by Nangwu was the greatest military exploit of Yue Feng's department, and it was also the main reason why he was deeply trusted by Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli.

At this moment, when Hanba mentioned this matter, although Yue Feng was very happy, he politely said to Mang Yinglong:
"Wu Jixun is the number one warrior of the Han people! The Nangwu Fortress was broken within a month. Wu Jixun fought to the last man without reinforcements, and was finally beheaded by my son. Menglinzhai had only a few hundred soldiers, while Nangwu had six soldiers. Thousands! Although the Han people are weak, the Ming Kingdom is also a big country, and there are also soldiers who dare to fight. At this time, the troops are marching forward, which is a situation that has not been seen in a hundred years.

These words are rightly said in Mang Yinglong's heart. In the sixth year of Jiajing, Mengyang and Mubang joined forces to attack and destroy the Awa Kingdom. The founder of the Toungoo Dynasty, Prince Awa Mang Ruiti was 11 years old at the time, and his parents He was killed, but only his sister was spared.

Mang Yinglong is the son of Mang Rui Ti's wet nurse, and the two were playmates when they were young. Mang Ying Long married Mang Rui Ti's younger sister and gradually gained power.After successfully stealing Toungoo, Mang Yinglong went to the east and west, looting neighboring countries and expanding the territory of Toungoo, which united the people of Toungoo.However, the fierce men of the past are now in their sixties. After the failure to attack Meng Yang last year, they became more conservative and cautious in their use of troops. Yue Feng knew his temperament well, and his advice was right on his mind.

Mang Yinglong recalled that he and Mang Ruiti followed the envoy of Ava to go to Yunnan Governor Yamen to cry, hoping that Ming court would support Ava's restoration of the country. Power is enough to destroy Mu Bang and Meng Yang.

However, such a wealthy power did not do justice to Ava at that time.In the eighth year of Jiajing, the imperial court cut out part of the land of Manmo and gave it to Meng Yang; and gave the land of Mannai to Mubang, which allowed the two robbers to give up part of the Ava Kingdom, Mangrui Style be restored.Use spoils to settle territorial disputes between states - it shows how vast and fertile it is!
Manmo and Mannai, in Mang Yinglong's view, are almost fertile places, and there are many treasure wells in them, but the Ming court actually abandoned them like a shoe!

Because of these memories, although Mang Yinglong has been testing the bottom line of the court over the years, his main force has not been a demon in Yunnan itself, and his attack direction is still limited to the shackles of the Ming court. After attacking southern Yunnan, Mang Yinglong broke into a cold sweat.

The encounter with the Ming army at this time was completely beyond Mang Yinglong's expectations.When he attacked Meng Yang last year, he also ordered Yue Feng to pretend to attack Jingdong to distract the Ming army, but he completely let go of the cannons—fortunately he kept his hand, otherwise Yue Feng might not have been able to rescue him.But last year, regardless of the Ming court, who was thinking about life and death, this year's inexplicable dispatch of troops, Mang Yingli can't figure out why?
Could it be that his insults to the governor's envoy damaged the emperor's face?Mang Yinglong couldn't help but think so.Then I can apologize!When he listened to Yue Feng's suggestion, the first thought in his heart was actually this thought.

Gathering his mind, Mang Yinglong took Yue Feng's words and said: "What Yue Feng said is true. In the past, the Luchuan Heqixiong state was wiped out by the Ming court. It has been more than 100 years! China sent troops again because it regarded Dongyu as a Is Luchuan in the past?"

These words sounded soft, and the generals under his command listened to the lord laying soft eggs, and all of them looked at each other, not knowing how to answer this.The corner of Hanba's mouth twitched, and his disdain was evident.

Yue Feng listened, bowed and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry so much. I have watched the Han court, and for many years, they have been enslaved and made three declarations and six condolences, but it is just to save face and let us pay tribute. No fighting spirit. At this time, forcing troops to send troops should be the result of not resenting the lord's humiliation of the messengers - why not send the messengers to ask them, and by the way, check their truth?"

Hearing this, Hampa couldn't bear his anger and shouted, "You Han slave! You are thinking of surrendering before you even see a battle, you are a real Han slave!"

When Yue Feng heard his insults, a cold light flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.He bowed his head and bowed to Mang Yinglong and said, "If the lord of the country can't make a decision, it is better to call Diego to ask. I heard that he has a compatriot living in the Ming Kingdom, and he may know some facts about the Ming Kingdom."

Diego Gonzalez Diogo, whose real name was Alfonso, was a Portuguese who followed in the footsteps of Portuguese pirates and entered Burma from India and took over the Portuguese mercenaries of the Toungoo Dynasty.

During the Mangrui period, the Portuguese occupied Malacca for a long time and ventured into Southeast Asia in an organized way.Diego Suarez de Mello was the leader of the first Portuguese mercenary in the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar, and he made many military exploits.Later, he was executed in public for seducing the wife of the minister of Dongyu.

Because the predecessor Diego has made many military exploits in Myanmar, the Burmese are blind to Westerners. Although Alfonso repeatedly corrected him, he was still renamed Diego by the society. Later, he had no choice but to accept his fate and completely changed his name to Diego Gonzalez. Diogo, his mother's and father's surnames are not lost anyway, his name is not important in the face of gold and gems.

After being called by Mang Yinglong, Diego heard that the army was attacking Burma in a big way.

He hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have a fellow countryman named Eduardo, who lives in the Ma Pavilion of the Ming Kingdom. I am, um, I saw him in Manlajia seven years ago. He said that Ma Pavilion is under the rule of Guangdong Province. He also introduced the Ming kingdom to me—the strength of the Ming kingdom is beyond our ability! I heard him say that the Ming army uses firearms well, and the level is similar to ours in Portugal."

Hearing what he said, Mang Yinglong took a deep breath, and all the generals under his command turned pale.Although the number of Portuguese mercenaries was less than [-], their combat power far exceeded that of Mang Yinglong's elites. When Mang Yinglong bullied Siam and other countries, his musketeers were the main force.

If the Ming army had half the strength of the Portuguese soldiers, the tens of thousands of Ming army would not be able to resist the coalition of chieftains led by Mang Yinglong.Mang Yinglong was about to agree with Yue Feng's proposal to send envoys, but Hanba questioned again: "If Ming is as powerful as you said, we never saw him defeat us once when we attacked Yunnan!"

Mang Yinglong listened to what Hanba said made sense, and looked at Yue Feng again.Yue Feng bowed and said: "The Ming Kingdom is huge, and it is also in the borderlands of Yunnan. How can it be compared with the forbidden army? You can't simply think that the Yunnan soldiers can't fight and conclude that the forbidden army can't fight. The Ming capital is thousands of miles away from here, who knows. Are there any banned troops in this batch of troops, and what is the combat strength of the banned troops?"

The big country of Dongyu, which had cut off tribute with the Ming Dynasty's emissary for many years, really had no information on the Ming court's forbidden army.The rest of the chieftains, although they paid tribute incessantly, had only been to Kunming at the farthest.After thinking about it, Mang Ying Long finally made up his mind and said, "Send an envoy to see what's real, it's not surrender, why not?"

Hanba wanted to say more, but Mang Yinglong gave him a solemn look.Although Hampa was not angry, he could only say nothing.

Now that he had accepted Yue Feng's suggestion, Mang Yinglong asked Yue Feng who could be sent as an ambassador.Yue Feng thought that his eldest son, Nangwu, had long since turned into Burmese, and he painted tattoos like him, and he could not see the appearance of Han people for a long time.

　Well, Lao Mo hasn't shown up and talked to everyone for a long time - mainly because he has no face.After my eyes were healed, my housework and work were complicated, and I didn't expect it to take so long.Distrusted by the book friends, they are ashamed to see people every day.Recently, work has been straightened out and family affairs have gone smoothly. Lao Mo is determined to resume daily work.

　　A few apologies can't repay everyone for their perseverance up to now, and Lao Mo didn't dare to say as proudly as when he first wrote the book that he would keep changing daily - he can only say his best.

　　In the past two months, the collections and tickets have been reduced a lot. Lao Mo checked it. At most, 269 collections were lost in one day. They were all book friends who were disappointed with Lao Mo-Lao Mo treated himself these two months. performance was also somewhat disappointing.But please understand that for a "fortunate family", the previous update pressure has already overwhelmed Lao Mo.

　　In the past two months, although external factors were the main factor, Lao Mo really did not have time, and there were also some internal reasons. The novice Lao Mo also entered a long period of fatigue.

　　Saying these things is not about asking for votes, but an explanation for everyone. At the same time, it is also forcing himself to face the disappointment of the readers.

　　Finally, I hope we can get to the end, thank you all.
