Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 171 The Ming army only has one hundred thousand?What a joke!
"what?"

Hearing Cao Wei's words, Muchun was in a daze!
"Just declare war on many countries like this?"

Isn't Cao Wei afraid that Burma, Luchuan and other countries will unite to fight against the Ming Dynasty?
According to Muchun's idea, after Lan Yu led the troops to arrive, they should combine all their forces, take advantage of Burma's unpreparedness, catch Burma by surprise, and destroy it with lightning speed, so as to minimize the Ming Dynasty. The loss of the army.

Like Cao Wei, directly declaring war on Myanmar, Luchuan and other countries was undoubtedly unwise in Muchun's understanding.

Wouldn't this only bring more enemies to yourself and make it more difficult?

Cao Wei shouldn't not understand this simple truth.

Muchun frowned, hesitated and said,
"Grand Master, isn't this a bit unsafe..."

“The joint efforts of Myanmar, Luchuan and other countries should not be underestimated!”

Cao Wei knew what he was worried about and smiled slightly.
"Then if Burma, Luchuan and other countries join forces, how will it compare to the Beiyuan Dynasty?"

Muchun shook his head and replied,

"The power of Beiyuan is not comparable to that of a small country like this. The two are not the same."

"In this way, the Marquis of Xiping doesn't have to worry too much. Burma's Luchuan country is not as powerful as the Northern Yuan Dynasty and will be destroyed by our Ming Dynasty!"

"The reason why the Marquis of Xiping is worried is because he has never seen our Ming Dynasty's repeating muskets and divine thunder cannons with his own eyes. When General Lan brings the muskets and artillery, and after seeing them, the Marquis of Xiping will be able to dispel his doubts."

Muchun became curious when he heard what he said.

"Your Majesty has long heard that the Grand Master developed various types of equipment in Jinling. There are also repeating muskets and divine cannons made by the Grand Master, which are extremely powerful."

"It's just a pity that Xiaguan stayed in Yunnan and never had the chance to see his true appearance. Since the Grand Master said so, I will wait and see."

Based on Cao Wei's reputation and ability, Muchun finally chose to believe him.

How could Cao Wei, who once destroyed Bei Yuan in one battle, be confused about this kind of thing?
He must have been worrying too much, Muchun thought.

then,

Muchun followed Cao Wei's instructions and spread the news to Burma and other countries.

For a time, Burma, Luchuan and other countries were in a state of excitement, and they were constantly communicating with each other, discussing whether the news was true or false, and how to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

In the past, although Luchuan and other places in Myanmar often harassed Yunnan, it was just a small fight.

But the news released by Mu Chun this time was that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to march south.

The strength of the central army of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful. The Northern Yuan Dynasty, which had once been a great power, was destroyed under the iron heel of the Ming army.

Even if they put all their troops together in Luchuan, Burma, they can't compare to the original Bei Yuan!
If Zhu Yuanzhang really sends hundreds of thousands of troops this time, and cooperates with the Yunnan local army, with such a powerful force, even if they really unite, they have little chance of winning.

On the fifth day after the news spread, Burmese Prime Minister Bu Tsailang hosted a banquet for the heads of state of Luchuan and Vietnam to discuss the matter together.

The official position of Xuanweisi was an exclusive official position set up by the Ming Dynasty for places such as Luchuan in southern Myanmar after the founding of the People's Republic of China. The person who held the post was also the head of the emperor of the country.

Although Lucchuan and other places in Myanmar accepted the post of Xuanweisi conferred by the Ming Dynasty, it did not mean that they were truly subordinate to the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the countries in Lucchuan and Myanmar still had independent political powers.

In the royal capital of Myanmar,

Bu Cilang looked at the few people under the seats with an extremely ugly expression.

This time, in order to discuss how to fight against the Ming Dynasty, he sent invitations to neighboring Luchan, Vietnam, Laos, Siam, Mengyang, Babai, Cheche, Cambodia, and even more distant Malaysia and Brunei.

But in fact, only the leaders from Luchuan, Cheche, Siam, Vietnam and Cambodia were present.

"Bu Cilang, even if you wait any longer, they won't come. It's better to discuss it quickly."

Luchuan Xuanwei Si Silun said impatiently.

Bu Cilang said coldly:

"This time the Ming army is coming with force. One more person will increase the chance of victory. If they don't come, don't they know that the eggs are intact under the overturned nest?"

"If the Ming Dynasty drives us all out, how will it let them go?"

Hong Soon, Secretary of the Department of Propaganda and Welfare of Vietnam, said with a strange tone:
"That's not necessarily true. Didn't Mu Chun say that if you don't want to die, you can surrender in advance to save your life? Maybe when the Ming army arrives, they will surrender to the Ming Dynasty."

Bu Cilang glanced at him, "What's the point of being someone else's subordinate?"

Hong Shun pursed his lips and said nothing.

In the car, Xuanweisi only spoke to urge him and didn’t say much.

Seeing that the Ming army is about to attack, you are still arguing. Isn't this a waste of time?

From beginning to end, Siam Xuanwei Si said nothing and only listened to their conversation quietly.

Fortunately, Bu Cilang didn't waste too much time. He changed the topic and started discussing how to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

"This time the Emperor of Ming Dynasty personally ordered the dispatch of troops. The background is certainly not small, and the strength of the troops will naturally not be small. Only by uniting can we keep our territory."

"This battle is not only to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but also to tell those Ming Dynasty people who think they are high-minded, that we are not allowed to be bullied by them at will!"

"Since you are here, you must also want to compete with the Ming Dynasty. I, Myanmar, will send 20 troops. How many troops will you send?"

The Vietnamese Xuanwei Department thought for a while and said:

"I will send [-] troops to Vietnam."

Bu Cilang immediately glared at him,

"Fifty thousand, this is no place for jokes!"

The Vietnamese Xuanwei Department doesn’t care;
"Why did the Ming Dynasty send troops to conquer the south this time? Isn't it because your Burma has been harassing the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan? We all suffered unreasonable disasters."

"But I don't want to just let the Ming ride on my neck without a struggle and send [-] troops to show its posture. As for whether you can stop the Ming army, it depends on you, Myanmar."

"In the worst case, when the Ming army arrives, I will leave the city with my hands raised and surrender. It would be better to die than live."

"You!" Bu Cilang was furious and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

At this juncture, fifty thousand troops are still soldiers, and a fly's legs are still meat no matter how small they are.

Bu Cilang turned to look at Luchuan Xuanwei Si Silunfa again.
"How many more troops do you want to send?"

Silunfa was about to speak when Bu Cilang said again,
"As far as I know, your soldiers under Lucchuan often go to Yunnan to plunder under the banner of my Burma. I have never argued with you before, but if you don't give me a satisfactory answer this time, I will If you inform Daming about this, you, Luchuan, will not have a good life either!"

Silunfa's face instantly turned ugly. He didn't expect that what he had done was so clear to Bu Jilang.

Si Silunfa pondered for a while and then said:

"We in Luchuan have also sent 20 troops. We really can't afford any more."

Bu Jilang nodded, he was very satisfied with the result.

"Okay, so we have 45 troops."

Then he turned to look at Laos, Vietnam, Siam Xuanweisi and others.

"I will send [-] troops."

"I will also send [-] troops."

Cambodia and Che Xuanwei Division spoke out.

Although Bu Cilang felt unhappy, he didn't say anything. After all, he did drag them into the water this time.

Finally, Bu Cilang looked at Siam Xuanwei Division.

Siam is actually Thailand in later generations. At this time, the name of the King of Siam was still canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Sorry," Siam Xuanweisi stood up.

"The Ming Dynasty did not oppress me in Siam in the past, and I, Siam, had no reason to send troops to oppose the Ming Dynasty." "Besides, my national power in Siam is small, so I will not get involved. When the Ming army arrives, I will open the city and surrender."

During the Ming Dynasty, the trade relations between Siam and the Ming Dynasty were generally relatively good among the countries to the west and south of Yunnan. The king of Siam did not want to take such a big risk and go into troubled waters.

finished,

The King of Siam turned around and walked out of the hall and left.

Bu Cilang looked at his back, his teeth itching with hatred.

"idiot!"

Cursing in a low voice, Bu Cilang turned his head and glanced around the crowd, his eyes flashing with cold light.

"Now that we have 55 troops together, we may not have no chance of winning against the Ming army. Moreover, the Ming army is not familiar with the terrain of our country at all. If they want to fight directly, it is just a dream!"

"We only need to use the mountainous terrain to contain the Ming army. When they run out of military resources, they will return without success!"

What Bu Cilang said sounded very nice, but everyone felt that it was not very reliable.

After all, Bei Yuan, a behemoth with millions of troops, was taken care of by the Ming Dynasty.

Together they only have over 50 troops.

No matter how you look at it, you feel like your chances of winning are slim.

However, although their country is small, it is still a country of its own. They are really unwilling to give up their people, land and power, and want to resist no matter what.

Whether it is success or failure, we can only leave it to fate.

Next, several people began to discuss the specific matters of confronting Daming.

Luchuan borders Yunnan and is the closest. If you want to block the Ming army's attack, you must first set up a defense line in Luchuan...

……

Another six days passed,
Cao Wei finally received Lan Yu in the north of Malipo.

Behind Lan Yu was a mighty army of [-] people.

Muchun was surprised to find that the equipment carried by the [-]-strong army that Lan Yu came to this time was very different from the normal army.

In the past, ordinary soldiers not only had to carry knives on their bodies, but also had various weapons such as guns and swords in their hands.

These soldiers all carried short-handled muskets and carried a large sword behind their backs. Apart from that, there was nothing else, and they appeared to be extremely light.

Cao Wei stepped forward to greet him, "Long time no see, General Lan is still in high spirits."

Lan Yu came closer, dismounted, cupped her hands towards Cao Wei and said with a smile,

"As long as there is a battle for me to fight, I will fight until the day I can no longer walk."

At this time, Muchun came forward and bowed his hands to Lan Yu as a gift.
"Muchun has met Duke Liang."

Lan Yu waved her hand,
"No need to be polite, Marquis Xiping. It seems like just yesterday that your father and I fought together on the battlefield to kill the enemy.

You have resisted the Southern Barbarians all by yourself for so many years, and you have made great contributions and thank you for your hard work. Your Majesty sent me here this time to completely wipe out these barbarians and restore peace to the people of Yunnan. "

"Your Majesty's holy grace is so great, Mu Chun is grateful!"

Muchun bowed deeply and bowed in the direction of Yingtian.

"Okay, tell me quickly where those rats in Myanmar are now, and I will lead the troops to destroy them right now!"

Lan Yu couldn't wait to try the power of the repeating musket and the mighty thunder cannon.

"General Lan, don't worry," Cao Wei reassured:

"Myanmar and other countries know that you are coming with troops, and they have formed a coalition to set up a defense line in northern Luchuan. There are quite a lot of troops, about 30,"

"30?" Lan Yu smacked her lips, "Don't say 30, just another 30, which is just a few shots, no matter what he does with so many."

Cao Wei smiled helplessly and said, "General Lan came after a long journey and took the army to repair for a day or two."

"And the Marquis of Xiping has sent scouts to Luchuan to investigate the enemy's situation two days ago. When the scouts return from finding out the location of the enemy, it won't be too late for General Lan to lead his troops to attack again."

After hearing this, Lan Yu nodded.

He has been fighting for his whole life, how could he not understand the principle of knowing yourself and your enemy?
"Okay, then let those bastards live for two more days."

after that,

Under Muchun's arrangement, all the [-] troops brought by Lan Yu were deployed.

During this period, he saw the baggage, ammunition for muskets and artillery, and ten majestic artillery pieces at the rear of the army.

Anyone who sees the mighty thunder cannon for the first time will be shocked for a long time, and Muchun is no exception.

"This this……"

Mu Chun looked at the big guy made of steel in front of him, and his eyes were straight for a moment.

"Is this the powerful thunder cannon developed by Master Cao?"

Cao Wei nodded, "Exactly."

Mu Chun clicked his tongue, "It's really breathtaking!"

Lan Yu laughed loudly,

"You haven't seen the power of this powerful cannon, it's amazing!"

Even Lan Yu, who had been fighting for a lifetime, said this, and Mu Chun became more and more looking forward to it...

Everyone waited for another three days before the scouts sent by Muchun returned to Malipo and brought back the exact location of the coalition forces from Myanmar and other countries.

"The location of the coalition forces from Myanmar and other countries is hiding in the mountains and forests around Longchuan."

After the scout finished speaking, everyone found this location on the Kanyu map.

"It seems they want to take advantage of the terrain to fight us in the mountains and forests. These barbarians still have some brains." Lan Yu said with a smile.

"It's just that in the face of absolute strength, it's not worth mentioning." Cao Wei was very confident in the repeating musket and the mighty thunder cannon.

Now that he knew the specific location of the enemy, Cao Wei no longer hesitated. After discussing with Lan Yumuchun, he directly chose to send troops to Longchuan!
The distance between Malipo and Longchuan was not that far, and it took the army less than five days to arrive.

At this time, in the mountains and forests of Longchuan, Bu Cilang and Silunfa were waiting for the arrival of the Ming army.

They didn't know how many troops the Ming Dynasty had sent this time, so they had been on tenterhooks for the past two days and couldn't even sleep well.

"Report—!"

Suddenly, a scout sent out by Bu Cilang rushed back and shouted loudly in front of everyone.

"The Ming Army...the Ming Army is here!"

Bu Cilang and Silunfa stood up immediately, their faces solemn.

"Can you see clearly who is the leader of the Ming army this time? How many troops are there?"

"The general has gray beard and hair and is old. He should be Lan Yu, the Duke of Liang Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty, and Muchun, the Marquis of Xiping. There is another person beside them who I have never seen before." The scout replied.

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.

Which one of them has not heard of the shadow of the famous tree and the evil name of the blue jade?
That is a real god of death!
But the scout's next words made them happy again.

"The strength of the Ming army this time is about [-]..."
