Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 788 Reckless White Appears
Li Dingguo and Mu Tianbo gave an order, and the artillerymen of the Ming army immediately set up large-caliber mortars and began to bombard the head of Awa City.

At the beginning, there were also artillery fire from the top of the city of Ava, but under the carpet bombing of a thousand mortars, the top of the city soon became silent.

In fact, there is no Burmese army in the city. Basically, it is a self-defense force composed of subjects temporarily drawn by the Burmese king, as well as servants from the homes of civil and military officials.

The only ones capable of fighting are the king's guards. They are responsible for guarding the palace and the king of Burma, and they will never come to defend the city.

At this moment in the palace hall, King Myanmar sat on the throne with blank eyes.

The main battle fought with the lord and minister Qiuhou to settle accounts and fight, and the hall was in chaos.

At this moment, a Toungoo general ran into the hall panting:
"Report to Your Majesty, the Ming Navy is so fierce, they actually have real iron-clad battleships. And the artillery on the battleships fires explosive shells, what rockets. All our coastal cities and regions have suffered fatal blows from the Ming Navy, Yangon, Pathein, Maotanmian, Pathein, Dawei, etc. are all lost..."

The officials of Dongyu who were still noisy just now, after hearing the report from the visitor, suddenly quieted down, and they were all stunned.

They originally wanted to retreat from the navy if they couldn't beat Daming!The plan is now in shambles.

As for getting into the primeval forest, they didn't even dare to think about it, it was not a place for people to stay at all.

After a while, the officials gradually calmed down, and they all looked at King Talong, the boss of Dongyu.

At this time, King Long was even more confused than the officials, and at the same time, he was filled with regret.

He was originally close to Ming, and had always had a good relationship with Daming. After receiving the notification from Daming, he also thought about joining Daming.

However, most of the ministers advocate fighting against Daming, and they believe that Toungoo's strength can fully protect itself.

His King Long's thoughts are swayed by his officials, and it is too late to regret it now.

Looking up at the officials in the hall, King Long said weakly:
"Get ready, tell the whole city to give up resistance and surrender to Daming..."

Hearing that the king was going to surrender, the Lord and the ministers immediately smiled:

"Your Majesty, it should have been like this long ago. Japan, the Netherlands and Spain can't beat Ming Dynasty, and we certainly can't..."

Now it is obvious that Burma's power is weak, and it is basically fighting against the Ming army with force.

Suddenly a voice came, and then a strong young man walked into the hall:
"Your Majesty, you must not surrender. Once you surrender, the century-old foundation of the Toungoo Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of our generation. I am willing to lead the elephant soldiers and the Ming army to fight to the death. If I lose to the Ming army, you will surrender soon..."

Everyone looked up at the person who came, and found that the person who came was Mangbai, the grandson of King Long.

Mangbai was less than twenty years old at this time, and he was considered a strong general in the Toungoo Dynasty, and the king loved him very much.

But he is not the heir to the throne, the heir to the throne is his elder brother Mang Da, who later staged a coup to kill his elder brother Mang Da to usurp the throne.

Those peace faction officials who wanted to surrender suddenly heard that someone was preventing them from surrendering, and they were about to beat up the people.

But when they saw someone coming, they immediately shut up. This kid is not easy to mess with, and he would stab people with a knife at every turn.

King Thalon waved his hands weakly:

"Forget about recklessness, don't make unnecessary resistance, surrender!".

"My lord, let Mangbai's elephant soldiers try..."

After the boy finished speaking, he turned and left, King Long could only shake his head helplessly, he loved his grandson very much, and he listened to many things.

"Get ready, if Mangbai fails, immediately surrender..."

"According to the purpose"

This mangbai is the protagonist who created the cursed water disaster in history, and he is still young at this time.

With the support of his courtiers, Gui Wang Zhu Youlang took over the important task of supporting the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and established the Yongli Dynasty.

It's a pity that the downcast phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, and Zhu Youlang didn't have many available soldiers in his hands, and was beaten out of Guangdong by the Qing army.

Zhu Youlang took the elders of the Ming Dynasty and retreated to Yunnan, and established the capital in Kunming, planning to make a comeback here.

What caught them off guard was that Wu Sangui, the former general of Shanhaiguan, was doing well under the command of the Manchus.

Now that he is bringing a large army to kill his old master's house, the Qing army is coming so fiercely that Zhu Youlang has no idea.

In order to save his life and continue the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang could only continue to flee with his ministers until he fled the country and arrived in Myanmar.

Seeing Zhu Youlang coming in a hurry, the king of Myanmar expressed that he could provide shelter for the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he asked for the Ming army to disarm.

There was no way, after all, they had already crossed the border, so it was natural to ask the guests to do whatever they wanted on their territory, so Zhu Youlang ordered the soldiers to disarm.

In order to express his gratitude to the King of Myanmar, Zhu Youlang presented most of the belongings he carried.

Although the Burmese king warmly welcomed the arrival of the Nanming court, he was secretly dissatisfied.

Before that, the Ming Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, and Myanmar, a small country on the border, could not be provoked, and it was only natural to bow down to it.

But to this day, Nanming is like a bereaved dog fleeing from disaster, and still maintains the demeanor of the suzerain country, which really annoys the Burmese.

In fact, Zhu Youlang is well aware of the dissatisfaction of the Burmese.

As early as when they crossed the border, Myanmar officials along the way made things difficult for them many times.

If Mu Tianbo, the General Soldier of Yunnan Province, hadn't taken out the seal of General Conquering South to confirm the identities of a group of people, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to see the king of Burma
At first, the Burmese king's dissatisfaction with Nanming was just hidden in his heart, and he didn't show it.

In his impression, the Ming Dynasty was a giant, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Although Emperor Zhu didn't have many soldiers around him, there were still many anti-Qing and Ming-ming forces in the Central Plains, and these forces were nominally dispatched by Ming Tong.

Since the battle situation in the Central Plains is unknown, no one can guarantee whether the Ming Dynasty can restore orthodoxy.With this in mind, the Burmese king always treated Nanming with courtesy and did not dare to offend him.

In the second year, civil strife broke out in Myanmar. With the support of private parties, Mangbai, the brother of the king of Myanmar, overthrew his predecessor and proclaimed himself king.

The house leak coincided with the continuous night rain. After the death of the old Burmese king, the war in the Central Plains took a turn for the worse. Many anti-Qing and Ming-ming forces were suppressed and killed by the Qing army.

Seeing that there was no hope for Nanming to restore his country, the new king of Myanmar made a 180-degree turn in his attitude towards Nanming.

On the day when the new king came to power, he sent invitations to the elders of Nanming to watch the ceremony, but only a few ministers attended, and Zhu Youlang didn't show up at all.

This move convinced the new king that Zhu Youlang underestimated himself.

In fact, it wasn't that Zhu Youlang didn't want to show up, but that he couldn't.

At this point, everyone wanted to please the king of Burma, but Zhu Youlang didn't have much money, and basically used it to honor the old king. How could he have money to give gifts to the new king?

It's a pity that Mangbai doesn't think so. He firmly believes that Zhu Youlang still has a lot of money, but he just doesn't want to give it to himself.

Since then, Mangbai's attitude towards Nanming has become worse and worse. He feels that the Nanming regime has long existed in name only. Since it cannot squeeze out the remaining value, it is better to eliminate it as soon as possible.

Regardless of etiquette, Mangbai sent an envoy to ask Zhu Youlang for a congratulatory gift.

However, Zhu Youlang was already clinking with poverty, so where could he get the money.

So, the envoy returned to Mangbai in disgrace, saying that Zhu Youlang didn't want to take any money.

Zhu Youlang couldn't say anything, so he had to send people to the Burmese court to say good things several times.

However, without seeing the actual benefits, Mangbai couldn't listen to these meaningless words at all.

In July of the same year, Mangbai saw that Nanming was really unwilling to pay, so he decided to make an example of others to extract the last bit of value from Zhu Youlang.

For this reason, Mangbai sent someone to the posthouse to invite Zhu Youlang to cross the river, saying that he had prepared cursed water by the river, and as long as Zhu Youlang drank the cursed water, Mangbai and Emperor Nanming would be friends forever.

In this regard, the two countries formed an alliance and shared a common hatred.If Zhu Youlang refuses to attend the appointment, Myanmar will sever relations with Nanming.

Since the Ming people had been disarmed before, they could only be slaughtered. Mu Tianbo grabbed the knife from the enemy's hand, fought with the Burmese soldiers, and finally killed nine enemies.

Others picked up the stones and sticks around them one after another, and fought the Burmese to the death. However, they couldn't beat the heavily armed Burmese, and died tragically under the Burmese sword one by one.

Emperor Yongli was also placed under house arrest, and later handed over to Wu Sangui to be executed
