Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1092

There are two major estuaries at the "point of the bay" of Motama Bay. The estuary due north is the estuary of the Xidang River, and the estuary due west is the east exit of the Bago River.Although the "Wanjian" here is the confluence of two major estuaries, the terrain is open, the water flow is stable, and the land is surrounded on three sides. It is actually a very good natural sheltered estuary port.

However, because the Toungoo Dynasty was a land-power dynasty, it was much more contemptuous of the sea than Ming Dynasty, so there was no port built here, and there were not many residents in the surrounding area. There were only a few small villages, with a combined population of several hundred at most.

More than 100 large ships of the Jinghua Expeditionary Fleet arrived here on this day, almost covering the sea here.

On the flagship of the Lang Son, Huang Zhiting stood in front of the temporary commander's platform, and in front of her were dozens of generals from both land and water departments.Perhaps because of the hot climate in southern Myanmar, she did not wear armor today, but was dressed in a dignified red silk military general's robe, with a tiger patch embroidered on her chest symbolizing a third-rank military general, giving her a unique beauty.

But the commands that come out of her mouth are not so "beautiful".

"Huang Leopard, take the wolf soldiers from your headquarters, take three boats to the north, occupy the small town of Xidang, and block the mouth of the Xidang River. Anyone who encounters obstacles, those who have weapons, will be killed; those who are not armed, will be driven away."

"Yes, the last general takes orders!" Huang Bao is the younger brother of Huang Hu, the number one general under Huang Zhiting's command. He is not as brave as Nai brother, but he is calm and calm. .

"Gao Sijin and Ruan Song, both of you will lead your headquarters to be the vanguard of the army. Go westward along the Bagu River. If the river is navigable to the outside of Bagu City, you will reach the city directly; Get off the boat and go. Gao Sijin is the vanguard commander, and Ruan Song is the deputy."

"Yes, the humble ranks take orders."

"In addition, regardless of water or land, you are not allowed to shell and attack the city without authorization after arriving outside the city of Bagu. I will give you [-] copies of the already copied "Calling Mang". You must find ways to make Bagu and the surrounding people You know, I'm here to fight against recklessness, unless I'm attacked, I won't take the initiative to hurt a single member of the Mon people, do you two understand?"

"Understood, Dutong."

"I said no harm to whom?"

The two were taken aback for a moment, but they still replied: "People, don't hurt people."

"Wrong!" Huang Zhiting said coldly: "I said not to hurt the 'Mon people'."

"Yes, yes, I understand. It's the Mon people who don't hurt, and the Burmese don't care."

Huang Zhiting glanced at the two of them, didn't say anything, but continued to order: "Gao Jing, after the main force of our army lands, you should first build some temporary docks in this harbor for docking, and then send a fleet to patrol Guang (the old name of Yangon in later generations), Bipound, Zhitong, Donggua, Bilin, etc. If there are fishing villages near the sea or large and small cities, they will shoot out a call to let the local Mon people know the intention of our army. Remember, it is not necessary Siege the city without killing anyone."

"Impossible to take orders."

"The rest of the generals will lead their headquarters, disembark and set up camp here with the capital commander. After a day of rest, they will go west to Bagu. Those with serious sea diseases will stay in the camp for treatment and treatment. The capital commander will leave 500 people to guard the safety of the injured. .”

"As ordered!"

After Huang Zhiting gave the order, she turned her eyes to an old white man next to her, and smiled slightly: "Father Alfaro, I will trouble you to take care of Debrito's matter."

Alfaro bowed with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency, the main force of the Ming army is not here. Although there are more than a hundred large ships in the army, they are unprepared. They also carry a large amount of exquisite silk used to buy various ethnic groups in Myanmar , porcelain', this news is enough to make De Brito lose all his mind - under your clever scheme, I think he will come."

"No matter how good a strategy is, it will only be effective if there are suitable people to implement it. Father Alfaro, your credit will definitely bring you unexpected benefits."

Alfaro smiled slightly: "The Franciscan missionaries are all ascetic monks. We don't love wealth, so I personally don't have any special expectations for rewards. I only hope that the Ming Empire will allow me to go deep into the interior to spread the gospel of God." .”

"The Daming Marine Merchant in Malacca has brought my letter back to Guangzhou, and it will be delivered to Senior High School Cheng in a short time. I think he will find a way for you."

Alfaro bowed slightly: "Thank you very much for your recommendation and help, Your Excellency Dutong. If the Holy Father learns of this news, he will definitely wish you two all the best."

Huang Zhiting now knows that the Holy Father he is talking about is the "Roman Monk" that the missionaries humbly called in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the "Roman Pope" that Gao Yushi told her. It is said that his status in Europa is higher than that of the emperor. and sacred.

Although she doesn't believe in foreign religions, she is the same as ordinary people in Ming Dynasty. She is not afraid of worshiping God too much. It is a good thing if people are willing to "bless" from a distance. As for the attribute of Catholicism being monotheism, she doesn't care.

"I also wish His Majesty the Pope all the best." Huang Zhiting smiled faintly.

Alfaro thanked him, but he sighed slightly in his heart. Although the Italian war seemed to be over, His Majesty still had a lot of troubles. I'm afraid it won't go well...but there's no need to say that.

On the next day, Huang Zhiting marched westward to Bagu with the army that had been repaired for a day.

When they walked less than [-] miles away from Bagu, the vanguard Gao Sijin and Ruan Song sent people to report that Bagu city guard Abrabang had sent people to contact them, expressing their willingness to surrender, but there were two Bamar troops in the city. More than a thousand people control the Ganbang Shadi Palace and the city gate in the city. He still needs a little time to figure out a way, and he hopes that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will give him three days.

Gao Sijin and Ruan Song did not dare to make this decision, so they immediately sent someone to report.

Huang Zhiting asked around, who knows the details of this Abrabang, as expected, no one knows, only a Guangdong ship owner who came to Myanmar with the ship a long time ago said that he had heard of this name, and said that if he remembered correctly, this person He is an aristocrat from the Mon nationality, and his ancestors have always been high-ranking officials in the Bagu Dynasty.

Since he is a Mon survivor left behind by the Bago Dynasty, his words are more credible, because Huang Zhiting heard from Gao Shishi that the situation among the three major ethnic groups in Myanmar, the Bamar, Shan, and Mon, is tense. The dynasty is a Burmese regime, which not only suppresses the Shan people, but also intends to annex the Mon people. It is not surprising that the Mon people rebel under external pressure.

But Huang Zhiting didn't have three days to give him, but asked someone to reply: No matter how you plan to surrender, if Bagu is not opened at noon tomorrow, then the soldiers will have to "raze Bagu".

That afternoon, Huang Zhiting's entire army arrived outside Bagu City, and nearly 5 troops besieged Bagu.Although Bago City is the old capital of the Mon people, the city is not too big—in fact, there are not many big cities in Europe these days, and even Milan, which ranks among the top historical cities in Europe, has a population of just over [-] ( City residents), Bagu, a barbaric land in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, how big can the city be?
Huang Zhiting looked at it horizontally and vertically, and this Bagu City was roughly equivalent to Haiyuan City, her hometown in Guangxi, and it was not as "majestic" as Guilin.And more importantly, Bagu is a plain city, far less easy to defend and harder to attack than Haiyuan City.

This is easy to do.

In the early morning of the next day, the Annan Expeditionary Army under the banner of the Ming Dynasty took up their formation. Not to mention the nearly 300 troops, the Burmese generals on the tower were frightened by the pressure of more than [-] large and small artillery pieces.

The Burmese general had seen the artillery of his own Portuguese mercenaries. Although he himself did not understand artillery, at least judging from the size, the artillery of the Ming army outside the city is now much larger than the artillery of the Portuguese mercenaries, even a bit larger. There are more than one circle, this battle is not easy to fight.

But he is well aware of the importance of Bagu, and he has to fight if it is not easy, at least to delay the time of the Ming army, and cannot let them easily sweep away the obstacles in Bagu and its surroundings to enter Toungoo, otherwise he will die a hundred times to redeem not guilty.

Without saying a word, he ordered strict defense, and he was very responsible to stand on the tower to direct.

It's a pity that when he was nervously facing the "Big Tomorrow Soldier" and was guessing when the opponent would launch an attack, Abrabang behind him suddenly pulled out his waist knife and stabbed him with the knife point from behind. Pierce and emerge from the chest and abdomen.

The general was talking loudly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just spat out sticky blood.But Abrabang kicked out again without saying a word, kicked the corpse down, and drew out the waist knife.

Abrabang held the waist knife in his right hand, and suddenly held up a volume of documents with his left hand, and shouted towards the surroundings: "The emperor's Ming Dynasty's "Discussion on Mang" is here, and millions of soldiers from the north, east, and south will be encircled and suppressed by the emperor." Come on, the death of Mang Yingli and the destruction of the country are just around the corner!

Everyone!We, the survivors of the Meng clan, were originally members of the Daming vassal. In the past, we had no choice but to surrender to the thieves temporarily because of the coercion of the reckless thieves. Now that there is an imperial edict, why don't we raise the banner of righteousness, pledge our allegiance to the Emperor Ming, and restore our prosperity?Those who are willing to be with me... Kill Myanmar Xiancheng! "

"Kill Myanmar and offer the city!"

"Allegiance to Emperor Ming, revive Bagu!"

A large group of "Tuo" arranged by him immediately shouted, drew out their weapons one after another, and rushed towards the Burmese army.

On that day, the Ming army under the city stood still, but thousands of people in the city were splashed with blood for five steps. The Burmese army and Burmese people were killed and injured. The moat was dyed blood red.

Not long after, the gate of the southern city of Bagu opened, and Abrabang, the city guard who was originally only a name, personally led a group of blood-stained trusted Mon soldiers out of the city to welcome the "Emperor's Ming Soldiers" into the city.

Huang Zhiting, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Annan, who is famous for the bloody battle of Lang Son, took down Bagu without bloodshed this time, and controlled the important town of Dongyu in southern Xinjiang.

Huang Zhiting didn't care whether she had that authority or not, according to the customs of these countries in southern Xinjiang, she ordered Abrabang to be "temporarily taken as the deputy king of Bagu".

Abrabang was naturally overjoyed.Although his family was originally a high-ranking official of the Bagu Dynasty, they had no real power, and their real status could not be squeezed into the "first-line". It was only because Mang Yinglong killed those real "first-line rich families" after he conquered Bagu. Only then did he, the son of a "second-tier wealthy family", take the lead and was appointed the post of Bagu City Guard.

But the city guard of Bagu City is only in name, because Mang Yinglong didn't trust the Mon people at all back then, and using him as the city guard was nothing more than an act of calming people's hearts, so the main general in the city is still the Bamar general, and Abra Bang is just a big carrot That's all.

Although the deputy king of Bagu is just a name at the moment, but the power of Daming is there, Abrabang feels that he will be able to "become a regular" sooner or later-he doesn't think that the soldiers of Ming Dynasty will be stationed here, because in his opinion Well, Daming doesn't look down on the three-acre land in Myanmar at all, and it's time to return triumphant after defeating Mangyingli.

By then, wouldn't this king be worthy of his name?
As for who will win and lose in the Ming-Myanmar battle, Abrabang is not worried at all.He always felt that Daming hadn't reacted much to Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli's father and son's "disobedience" in the past 20 years, but it was because he didn't care. "Millions of Heavenly Soldiers" is not an exaggeration.

This must be an overestimation of Ming's mobilization ability and logistical support ability, but the fact is that most of the small Ming border countries think so these days, because throughout history, when the Ming army was serious about fighting, it really hadn't been defeated very much. In the civil fort battle that shocked the world, Daming even lost the emperor, but in the end he refused to back down at all, and forced another emperor to continue the fight.

Now the emperor of Ming Dynasty is still surnamed Zhu, and he is still the descendant of Zhu Qizhen who was once captured, so where is he now?Where are Yexian's descendants?
In the original history, Hou Jin had already started to attack the Ming army in Liaodong, but the surrounding Mongols and Koreans were unwilling to cooperate with Hou Jin at the beginning. The reason was that Ming's "personality" was too hard, The foundation is just as hard, and no one is optimistic about how long Houjin can last.

In fact, if it wasn't for Houjin to come out with Huang Taiji, if Nurhachi died a few years later, Houjin himself would have to play himself to death.

So at this time, Daming's prestige in the vassal state is still quite high, at least when Daming has shown a state of "angry", few people doubt that Daming cannot crush "rebellion".

The cleanup in the city is still going on, and Abrabang has already been able to meet Huang Zhiting, the commander of the South Road of the Ming Army and the Deputy Commander of Annan.

When Huang Zhiting was outside the city, he had already temporarily appointed him "Temporary Deputy King of Bagu", which had already made him overjoyed, but when he accepted his visit this time, he immediately gave him another surprise.

Huang Zhiting ordered him to "convene the old Bagu officials and establish a new Bagu army", and made it clear that Daming (actually Annan) would provide military support to his new army.At the same time, considering that it has been more than [-] years since Bagu destroyed the country, it may be impossible to start a new army suddenly, especially in terms of training, it may be difficult to quickly form combat effectiveness, so Ming (in fact, it is still Annan) will help and send military advisors , to guide the establishment, training, logistics support and other matters.

This is really a good thing for Abrabang who was overjoyed.His family didn't have any real power before, and if they didn't have real power, it would naturally mean that they were not good at military training. Let him figure it out for himself, and when he can make a name for himself, that's really uncertain.

People are easy to manage and easy to get together, but it is difficult to say whether they can fight, especially whether they can face off against the invincible Burmese army that has fought all over southern Xinjiang.

Now with Daming's help, he came out to "lead apprentices" himself, wouldn't this be the best result?

He didn't think that Daming would covet his military power, because in his mind, Daming didn't even look down on the territory of Burma, so what use is his military power?What's more, according to Vice President Huang's statement, Daming doesn't directly control the soldiers, they seem to be just helping to organize and train, so what is there to say?
"Temporary Bagu Deputy King" His Highness Abrabang nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and immediately agreed, and happily summoned allies and cronies when he went out, and began to call on the "Mon warriors" to join the army enthusiastically.
