Chapter 516 No need to negotiate

The Fuhan army conquered the Burmese governor's mansion.

Yang Yingyuan walked towards the mansion under the leadership of a major officer. He was wearing a red Fuhan army uniform with a sword hanging from his waist, with a solemn expression.

The two walked forward along the long pavilion and corridor, and saw some people in the courtyard tidying up the flower soil and the rockery, a row of hot scenes, but Yang Yingyuan was a little surprised, "The governor really intends to Have you lived in Ava for a long time?"

"That's not true. The governor likes these things on weekdays, but now that he's in Ava, he's messing with them." The major smiled slightly, pointing to the house in the distance, "The governor is not used to the Burmese. The house will definitely be demolished and rebuilt by then.”

Yang Yingyuan was thoughtful, but stopped talking. He followed the major into the study room of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. He saw Cheng Ming wearing a dark gown and casual boots. With a relaxed and freehand look, when he saw Yang Yingyuan walking in, he greeted him with a smile.

"Staff Yang is here, but why is he saying goodbye?"

Yang Yingyuan bowed his head and replied: "Originally I wanted to say goodbye, but now I feel a little more anxious, and I don't know if I will see the governor again in the future."

"Oh?"

Cheng Ming showed a bit of surprise on his face, and said with a smile, "Why did Staff Officer Yang say that?"

Yang Yingyuan sighed slightly, "Although the governor likes good houses and beautiful houses, he has always distinguished between public and private affairs, and he will never neglect his personal affairs at this time. From the shallow knowledge of his subordinates, it seems that the governor has no intention of hiding this matter. , I thought it was just for others to see, as for anyone in Ava City who deserves a high-level look from the governor, it is nothing more than the Shan and Meng tribes."

Cheng Ming suppressed his smile, looked at Yang Yingyuan deeply, and said, "Continue."

Yang Yingyuan panicked, but beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and he said in a low voice: "In my subordinate's opinion, what the governor did was nothing more than to confuse the Mon people, making them think that the governor intends to stay in Upper Burma for a long time. , so that they won't get suspicious, presumably this Binmana meeting is where the Great Governor worked so hard."

"Then tell me, what role are you?" Cheng Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Bait." Yang Yingyuan swallowed involuntarily, feeling a little nervous.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the study room became extremely dignified, especially under Cheng Ming's current aura, which made Yang Yingyuan almost breathless. He lowered his head slightly, but not completely.

"Okay, have the guts!"

After a long time, Cheng Ming finally broke the tense atmosphere in the study. He clapped his hands and laughed loudly, but he took Yang Yingyuan's hand and walked towards the outside of the study. Earlier, Major General Shi from the Military Intelligence Department recommended a person to me, saying that although there are many talents in the Southwest, there are those who are talented and have deep family backgrounds, but in front of you, Yang Yingyuan, Yuzi is nothing."

Yang Yingyuan shook his head lightly, "Lord Shi is really overrated. His subordinates only know a little about personnel affairs in Southwest China. If you really want to say it, we can't stabilize the country with literature, and we can't rule the country with martial arts. You are really mediocre."

"Hmph, mediocre? But the big and small things in the world cannot be separated from the mediocre."

Cheng Ming greeted Yang Yingyuan to sit in front of a small square table in the flower hall, and saw that there were already seven or eight plates on it, which contained hot and cold meat and vegetables, but they had everything that one could expect, and they were all dishes from the Central Plains. The pot, a faint aroma of wine wafted out of it.

After the two drank a glass of wine each, Cheng Ming smiled and said, "Counselor Yang, you are knowledgeable and practical, so you should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of this old man."

Yang Yingyuan put down his wine glass, sighed and said, "The governor's intention is nothing more than to ask his subordinates to do Tang Jian, but for now, it's the best way."

The so-called Tang Jian refers to Tang Maoyue, the Duke of Ju, who was one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty. However, Tang Taizong actually sent Li Jing to attack secretly, almost killing Tang Jian. Fortunately, Tang Jian was clever and escaped from the chaos.

The reason why Yang Yingyuan pointed out the example of Tang Jian is because there is another thing similar to this incident, that is, when Chu and Han were fighting, Liu Bang sent Li Shiqi to lobby the king of Qi to surrender, but on the other hand, he also sent Han Xin. He led an army to attack and destroy Qi, but Li Shiqi's luck was worse. He didn't have time to escape and was cooked and killed by King Qi.

Whether to be Tang Jian or Li Shiqi is essentially just a matter of luck.But whether to do it or not, they had no other choice, after all even Li Jing said that Tang Jian's death was not a pity, and even the emperor probably thought so in his heart.

In the current Burmese Governor's Mansion, Yang Yingyuan has no way to refuse this mission, unless he wants to die sooner.

Cheng Ming had a bit of a smile on his face. He knew that Yang Yingyuan had already figured out the joints, so he stopped trying to persuade him and just raised the wine glass in his hand.

"Counselor Yang, when this is accomplished, the old man will personally recommend you to study in the senior general class of the Nanjing Central Military Academy. When you come out, you will be at least a senior colonel. After you make some contributions, you will enter the future, and the future can be expected. "

"Thank you for your kindness, Commander-in-Chief."

Yang Yingyuan clenched his palms tightly, a blush appeared on his face, it was at this moment that a man made great achievements!

Three days later, the Fu-Han army conscripted the Burmese Governor-General's Office and sent a mission to Binmana, where they sat down with the Shan and Meng tribes to discuss the demarcation of the border.

However, when the two sides were in talks, Cheng Ming had already assembled an army of [-], and the army went out day and night to secretly advance towards the gathering place of the Shan people in Upper Burma. This time, the goal was to completely occupy the place where the Shan people lived. Go up to Burma, and then go down one after another, flattening the Mon army in Lower Burma.

The plan is very simple, but it also means that it is very efficient. When the Shan and Meng tribes were still thinking about how to force Ning Chu to make concessions, they never thought that this meeting was just an excuse to deceive people. Ning Chu never regarded them as An equal opponent.

You also want to negotiate?You are not worthy!

When the army moved ten miles outside Lashio City, the Shan rebels did not react at all. They are still kept in the dark, but when the Fuhan army set up their formation and fired a volley of artillery, they Only then panicked and began to organize reinforcements everywhere.

It has to be said that the timing of Cheng Ming's surprise attack was just right. After all, only the upper echelons of the Shan rebel army would show hostility and guard against the Fuhan army, but the soldiers below did not have such a keen sense of smell. The preparations for the surprise attack of the Fuhan army, coupled with the disparity in the firepower and training levels of the two armies, almost made this battle a one-sided battle from the very beginning.

"Boom--"

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, a large number of projectiles fell on the Shan army group like raindrops, but it caused a bloody wind, and a large number of corpses fell on the ground like weeds, forming an extremely Tragic scene.

The Shan rebels did not have the courage to resist at all. Six months ago, they were just serfs with sickles in their hands. Now they only hold spears and short knives in their hands. The few muskets are also distributed to a small number of elite troops. , As for bows and arrows, there is no such thing at all.

Under such circumstances, the Shan rebels armed with spears and short knives almost staged a great escape in the face of the attack of the Fuhan army. A large number of defeated soldiers ran towards the rear, while the Fuhan army Keep chasing.

A large number of spears and swords were thrown on the ground, and teams of Shan rebel prisoners knelt on the ground. Their eyes were blank and mixed with fear. It was obvious that they were very worried about what they might face. future.

"Those who resist will die, and those who surrender will not be killed. This is the purpose of our army!"

"You don't have to worry, from this moment on, you can all survive!"

"Be honest and obedient, don't try to escape and resist, otherwise your results will be extremely miserable!"

Several Fuhan soldiers who could speak Burmese shouted loudly that since Yunnan Province borders Myanmar, there are also some people close to Myanmar who can speak simple Burmese, so the Fuhan Army recruited these people as part of the In the army, it can play the role of translator in many cases.

Under the leadership of this persuasion tactic, a large number of Shan rebels put down their weapons, and they entered the prisoner-of-war camps of the Fu-Han Army in batches. According to the pre-war plan, these prisoners would be sent back to the country. After ten years of forced labor, the Fuhan Army will be able to implement the enfeoffment of painting and land in Myanmar.

After the enfeoffment is completed, the lord can pay a certain deposit, and then he can recruit people to go to Myanmar for armed reclamation. It is the same as the armed reclamation in Northeast China at this time, ensuring that he can survive in Myanmar for a long time.

Of course, in order to protect the interests of the lords as much as possible and not let their money go to waste, after the war, the Burmese Conquest Group Army will be reorganized into the Annan Protectorate, and the strength of two of the divisions will be temporarily assigned to the Annan Protectorate. The lords provide protection, and they will not withdraw to the country until the capital's own troops are full.

After the Fuhan army captured Lashio, the rest of the matter became much simpler. A large number of troops, on the scale of regiments and battalions, went deep into the chieftains of Upper Burma, and actually controlled the chieftains of the local chieftains, thus ensuring Upper Burma can be completely owned by the Fuhan Army.

Because the action was so fast, the Shan rebels failed to report to the palace goose in Pingmana in the first place.

In Pingmana, Gong Liyan, the leader of the Shan nationality who was still kept in the dark, was still single-mindedly trying to win over the leader of the Mon nationality, Smitao Foduojidi, but he was almost nakedly hostile to the arrival of Ningchu's mission.

In the venue specially used for talks in Pingmana, the staff of the Ningchu mission had a very fierce argument with the Shan mission. happiness.

Let's fight!grab it!It's best to fight to the death, and they won't go to Upper Burma to participate in the cooperation. They just need to sit in the wealthy Lower Burma and watch the situation with a smile.

Smitao Buddha Jidi looked at the unswerving palace geese and the indifferent Yang Yingyuan, and said slowly: "The Meng people are still very grateful to the Great Chu. If it weren't for the great Chu to send troops, we and the Meng people would still live in the east. Under the oppression of King Yu, now that we have regained our homeland, many people even wept with joy."

Hearing Smitao Buddha Jidi talking nonsense, Yang Yingyuan didn't panic in the slightest, he just smiled and said: "I am here today, of course I didn't come to listen to what you two said, let's discuss the actual things— —For example, what do you two think about the current Burmese land?"

Smitao Buddha Jidi smiled and said: "The Meng people naturally aim to rebuild the Baigu Kingdom. All the land of the original Baigu Kingdom should belong to the Meng people."

Gong Liyan was not to be outdone, and snorted coldly: "Our Shan people should restore the glory of the Ava Dynasty, and the land in Upper Burma must not lose an inch."

"Oh? Then I, Ning Chu, came to Myanmar for nothing?" Yang Yingyuan sneered.

"Of course it's not in vain. All the land occupied by King Dongyu was returned. In addition, your army's harvest in Awa can be regarded as quite rich."

Smitao Buddha Jidi hurried out to smooth things over, but Gong Liyan couldn't bear it anymore, he stood up abruptly, looked at Yang Yingyuan and said coldly: "Myanmar is Burmese's Myanmar, It’s not your country’s turn to dictate. If your army doesn’t withdraw from Ava, our Shan and Meng clans will definitely not be vegetarians.”

Yang Yingyuan laughed, since he brought the mission to Binmana, this kind of meaningless conversation has continued until today, but for him, it is not for real negotiations, so naturally it will not be here Waste of saliva on this kind of thing.

What cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table.

This sentence was said by Cheng Ming himself when he was entertaining him. It is said that it came from the mouth of the supreme emperor. For the emperor sitting in Nanjing, negotiation has always been just an auxiliary means, and can really decide everything Only the musket in hand.

Yang Yingyuan deeply agrees that the negotiation between the two parties is originally based on the interests that can be exchanged, but there is no room for negotiation on those core interests that cannot be compromised.

Want Myanmar?Then take it on the battlefield!

Therefore, after receiving the urgent news from the spies, Yang Yingyuan no longer intends to continue to flirt. He will leave Pingmana under the escort of the Military Intelligence Department. Of course, he still needs to do one last thing before that.

Yang Yingyuan stood up and straightened his collar, then raised his head slightly, and said proudly: "For the division of Burma, it was originally a gift from Da Chu, but you don't seem to need this kindness—"

"But it doesn't matter, from now on, the negotiation officially breaks down, goodbye!"
