Talong, who was escorted to Beijing in a so-called sill car, was very depressed and distressed. ..

Although the Southern Guangdong Army did not treat him with any disrespect, on the contrary, the food and daily supplies are all handled according to his daily supplies as the lord of Burma, and there are several personal servants who follow and take care of him. The great eunuch of the Celestial Dynasty came to visit one or two, and there was no shortage of courtesies.However, how can the taste of a subjugated king who is broken and captured be pleasant?

On that day, Talong, as the king of Burma, led an army of tens of thousands and came to recover Yangon with hundreds of war elephants and more than [-] artillery pieces, intending to take back the main artery of Burma, money bags, and baskets of rice. .

But he didn't want to, the artillery battle failed first, and before his own artillery team could be deployed, the rocket that rushed in from the opposite side ignited the gunpowder keg and blasted the cannon into the sky.Followed by the Southern Cantonese army that intended to pounce on the opposite side with war elephants, but the opponent fired a series of rockets and fell into the formation of war elephants. Most animals are afraid of fire, and the smarter they are, the more afraid they are. Hundreds of war elephants Frightened by the continuous rockets falling from the sky, although the formation was barely maintained under the control of the elephant slave, the speed of attack was very slow.Although those war elephants are all covered with iron armor, and the elephant itself has rough skin and thick flesh, ordinary weapons can't effectively kill it at all, but if knives and guns can't deal with you, can't artillery?The firecrackers can't pierce your iron armor and thick skin, and the cannonballs can't kill you?

Deng Xianda concentrated all the artillery of the three garrison brigades and one mixed brigade under his command, and divided them into two artillery groups to continuously bombard the war elephants.After two rounds of volleys, the war elephants turned their huge bodies and rushed towards the road with neighing, trampling all the way, no matter it was people or horses, vehicles or luggage.Just rushing past, hundreds of war elephants that became crazy due to panic, rushed and trampled bloody roads in the dense formation of the Burmese army.The officers, generals, and nobles of the Burmese army at all levels were unable to control the situation even though their throats were broken.

The collapse of the Burmese army is imminent!

If you don't do anything at this time, Deng Xianda, the conductor, will stop doing it.

The Southern Guangdong Army took advantage of the momentum to charge.Along the Ayeyarwady River, the navy went up the river and bombarded the Burmese army on the shore with artillery, constantly disrupting the slightly established Burmese army.The brothers in the army kept harvesting lives and capturing prisoners with the firecrackers, knives and guns in their hands.that night.When he barely set up camp to rest, he checked the losses of the army, only to find in horror that only one battle during the day, tens of thousands of horses had stopped six times out of ten.Those who managed to escape along with them were all wounded and terrified.

into the night.A few of Talong's uncles, leading a dozen brothers, entered the imperial camp at night, and tried hard to persuade Talong to stop the army and truce, so as to leave a way for the Burmese people to survive.He Long refused to listen, but threatened him with a long knife.The crowd had no choice but to tie him up and leave the camp to surrender to the Nanyue Army.

However, this is what the members of the Mangying family who tied him up to the Southern Guangdong Army camp to surrender said. Deng Xianda didn't bother to get to the bottom of the facts.

On the one hand, they sent people to escort this group of people to Hue to meet the lord in Hue, and on the other hand, they cleaned up the defeated Burmese soldiers scattered all over the place.Sending a group of troops to Wacheng to occupy the last lair of Myanmar, and the Siamese soldiers who confronted the Burmese army in the border area between Siam and Myanmar, it was like eating Wei Gang after being beaten with chicken blood, attacking wildly all the way , It seems that the grievances accumulated over the years will be washed away.

The Mangying Dynasty of Myanmar, which was once prominent on the Indochina Peninsula, seems to have collapsed.

In the court hall, the triumphant Wang Dehua presented to Emperor Chongzhen the treasures of the Burmese king and albums and many other objects that symbolized the status of the Burmese Kingdom, and read aloud the victory badge of Uncle Ning Yuan and Li Shouhan and the presented pair from Auspicious sign of Bengal.

Zhu Youjian perched on the throne, as if he was in the clouds.

He had just fought a series of defeats, lost his teacher and lost his land, and even fell into the vassal. Apart from fasting every day and going to the Taimiao and Fengxiandian to cry and mourn, he was almost ready to issue an edict of guilt.That day when he received the news that Luoyang had been breached and King Fu had been killed, when he summoned the cabinet ministers Heli, the Second Ministry of Bing, and Kechen, he cried loudly: "I can't protect my uncle." "The royal sleeve is wet." Prostrate yourself.One day not long after that, Zhu Youjian went to see his concubine Concubine Liu, his concubine, and fell asleep shortly after sitting down. When he woke up, he felt inappropriate, so he apologized to the concubine and said: "When the ancestor was a god, there were few things in the world. Difficult. Two nights of provincial papers without eyelashes, upset, and waste of meals. Since I was too young, I was worn out by state affairs, and fleas were poor. I couldn’t hold myself in front of the concubine.” This experience was experienced by Emperor Wanli in the The concubine, who was in peace at that time, also cried for it when she heard this remark, and cried bitterly for a long while facing her grandson, the emperor.

What's more, he heard from the two guards of the factory that several Hanlin privately began to draft an imperial edict for him to punish the world.

But now, this Uncle Ning Yuan, who was thousands of miles away, not only sent a large amount of money, food and fruits to the palace, but also brought him a huge reputation.

Isn't it the dream of many kings to have a handsome master go far away and hold his elders to question him?

To comfort the Taimiao today, I can report to my ancestors that the descendants of the Mang Ying family, the chief culprit who has been harassing the frontiers of Yunnan Prefecture since the reign of Shenzong, have been locked up by my ministers and taken to Beijing for interrogation!

"Your Majesty, wait!"

Just when Chongzhen opened his mouth, he ordered the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisors to come up with a charter, reward the soldiers of the Southern Guangdong Army, and encourage those who have made meritorious deeds; they also issued an edict to announce that Ning Yuanbo would present an auspicious white tiger to encourage When the morale of the army was high, some people in the imperial censor's ranks suddenly spoke out to make the scenery look bad.

"Your Majesty, please punish Li for harboring evil intentions, resisting orders and not obeying orders! Punish his nine clans!"

As soon as this statement came out, the world was shocked.

Everyone in the hall turned their eyes to the source of the voice.

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted to him, the person who spoke couldn't help feeling a great sense of satisfaction in his heart.He began to talk eloquently: "Your Majesty, His Majesty made an edict that day, and ordered the ceremonial supervisor Wang Gonggong to go to read it out, and the humble minister also knew the edict. I ordered Ning Yuanbo to transfer the elite divisions of several brigades to prepare their own food and equipment to wait in front of Liaodong Hongdu's army. Dispatch to prepare for the need to suppress the Liao bandits."

"But now Uncle Ning Yuan has never sent a single soldier to cross the sea to the north. He just sent his generals and children to perfunctory His Majesty. He first sent his son and daughter's relatives, Fujian Chief Soldier Zheng Zhilong, and today he sent his eldest daughter to Beijing. To offer the so-called auspiciousness, such acts. What is it not to resist the order and not to obey?! Since Shufa started studying, the first thing I have learned is that parents should not violate orders. Now that the father has orders, he dares to evade prevarication, his heart is clear, and his heart can be punished! "

"Since Uncle Ning Yuan was able to take the southern thieves who harassed the emperor during the Shenzong period to the capital for interrogation, he is also capable of bringing the gang of Liaodong rebels who harassed Liaodong and offended him many times to the capital for interrogation. The heart of the acting king is in serious trouble!"

"However, Uncle Ningyuan ignored my emperor's worries and did not want to serve the country. In order to avoid sending troops, he did not hesitate to start a frontier quarrel, and destroyed Burma on the east road. He captured Banggela on the west road, and his ministers were dull. Since Uncle Ningyuan has this Why don’t soldiers, horses, money, food, vehicles and boats go north to Liaodong? Instead, go to a place of smog and malaria?”…

"In order to evade His Majesty and stop the mouths of all the people in the world, Uncle Ning Yuan deliberately presented the so-called auspicious white tiger, and his intention is even more obvious! The white tiger is transformed from the western stars. The so-called westerners are the main weapon to kill! What is Liao’s intention in offering the white tiger? Calculating the date, the day Liao loaded the white tiger onto the ship coincided with the time when the two thieves invaded and plundered all over the Central Plains and killed our Ming clan!”

A series of sonorous and convincing words were uttered loudly in a tone full of sense of justice, reverberating in the space of the court hall, shaking people's ears trembling.Someone peeked at Chongzhen on the throne, and found that his face had turned pale with anger, his hands were tightly clasped on the dragon head on the armrest, and his fingers had been stuffed into the mouth of the dragon head.

Li Huamei, who was standing at the gate of the hall waiting for the order to enter the hall to hand over the escorted food, rice, silver dollars, equipment, gunpowder, military uniforms, etc. to Chongzhen, was so angry that her face flushed, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Miss, you can't!"

Shi Lang, the commander of the navy who accompanied Li Huamei to escort him up, quietly whispered in her ear, "If we leave in a fit of anger at this time, we will fall into the tricks of these thieves. They will send more Splash a lot of dirty water on the Lord and our Southern Cantonese Army!"

It was Zhou Yin, Wei Zhou Yin, the censor of the Sichuan province who spoke, with an impassioned speech, as if pleading for the king's life.

"Your Majesty, Fujian General Zheng Zhilong was ordered by Ning Yuanbo to go to Beijing to deliver the victory medal. His Majesty rewarded him with 5000 yuan in silver and a jade belt. His son Zheng Sen was the commander of Jinyiwei. May I ask you this reward? The former supervisor Yang Sichang offered a reward for arresting the thieves between the Jianghuai, Sichuan and Shu, and Zheng Zhilong, a mere messenger, how could he be worthy of such a generous reward?"

Well, Zheng Zhilong, who led the Nanyue army to escort Talong and Qian Liang to the capital and was waiting outside the gate of the palace, couldn't calm down anymore. The group of censors pointed their guns at him.

But fortunately, in the blink of an eye, the court turned into a pot of porridge.

"Uncle Ning Yuan's loyalty is to the sky! You guys, what do these Confucian scholars know?"

"The so-called white tiger is definitely not an omen of auspiciousness, but an omen of eternal swords and soldiers!"

"Zheng Zhilong rewarded so generously the envoy who reported success in a mere district. Today, the Lord of Burma was sent to the capital to plead guilty. How should the emperor reward Li? Once there is no reward, how should the court restrain Li?"

"If Uncle Ning Yuan has a different intention, how can he pay tribute to the court again and again? Now there is no army on the front line in Liaodong that eats food that is not from Nanzhong, and there is no army that does not have armor and equipment from Nanzhong. If you say so, isn't it true? Does Uncle Ning Yuan want to serve the country with all his might?"

"Duke Zhou is afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang is a corporal! Everyone who is treacherous and evil is extremely good at playing tricks!"

"According to what you said, can my Liaodong soldiers be unable to fight without the food, grass and military equipment of his Li family?! How can I be a loyal and brave soldier of the Ming Dynasty who can be bought with mere food and military equipment?"

"That's right, I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, and I can't fight without food and pay? You also deliberately underestimate the loyalty of the soldiers to serve the country!"

"Not bad! Without the money and food from the Li family, we can send more in the Central Plains, Shandong, Jifu and other places. Our Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. The people have a large population, and a little bit on everyone's head is enough to recover Liaodong."

"That's true! That day Mr. Yang, Mr. Wen Ruo, levied salaries in various places in order to suppress the thieves' military salaries. It was originally said that it was only a temporary one-year period. The next year, 280 million yuan was collected again. In the past, the Liao Incident started and there was a Liao salary. The imperial edict says that we will temporarily tire our people for a year. It has already been settled; when it comes to suppressing the bandits, there is a salary. The imperial edict is the same as before, and it is already fixed. , the imperial edict is the same as before, and it has been fixed again. Today we can use this to ask the people of the world to endure the pain for a while until the world is peaceful. There will be a holy son to compensate and comfort the innocent people of Li people.”…

"Exactly! The old salary is 500 million, the new salary is more than 730 million, and the additional training salary is [-] million. Such a huge military salary, only need to allocate [-]% to Liaodong, and the slaves can be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

"No, no! Yang Sichang proposed at the Ministry of War to increase the salary of 280 million yuan. He wanted to train troops with 12 yuan for the purpose of suppressing bandits. The salary was increased, and Shaanxi, Henan, Jiang, and Chu reported [-] soldiers, but they were still soldiers of the same nationality. It is proposed to increase the training salary by more than [-] million yuan. The soldiers from Xuan and Jibian will be drawn and trained to form a powerful force. The battalion system is different, and they are still soldiers of the same nationality. Suppression cannot be suppressed, training cannot be practiced, and the world is in trouble. It's too poor."

"The training salary is collected, but where are the soldiers and horses trained? Jidu has drawn 730 soldiers for training, and now it is only [-]; Now only two or three hundred. Seventy-eight thousand soldiers from Ruoshan and Yong, [-] soldiers from Ji and Mi, [-] soldiers from Changping, more than [-] soldiers each from Xuanda, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. Soldiers and horses are not asked, and they are drawn and not practiced, which only increases the salary of [-] million. Is the people safe? In recent days, every minister in the border said that the soldiers and horses were drawn and trained, and they were thousands or hundreds. Sai Mingzhi, but the tens of thousands of new and old soldiers and horses in the whole town are not mentioned. It is because of the training salary that there are fewer soldiers and horses. In recent days, all the officials in the direct province have used the training salary to chase after them like fire, causing the people to suffer. When encountering thieves, greet them, even before seeing the thieves. Although the three salaries are urgent, not only the training salaries, but the training salaries are especially urgent. Because there are no soldiers outside, no people inside, and the salaries cannot be exhausted, so the blame lies in the council A person who pays."

"Suppressing Xing Yuan sucked all the blood of Bai Sheng, and Yang Sichang poisoned the world."

"The people in the Central Plains are suffering! Liao's salary, suppressed salary, and training salary are absolutely not allowed to be collected again! Someone from my hometown sent a letter to say that Henan has been plagued by locusts and droughts for years, and there is a great hunger every year. People don't dare to sell the grain, and the grain is expensive. The rice and wheat bucket is worth three thousand, and the grain is two thousand and seven hundred. People eat each other, fathers eat their sons, and wives eat their husbands. There is no single traveler on the road. Even the east and west villages dare not travel. They died suddenly in the ravine. Gather and cut them, and in an instant the bones will support each other. The officials smashed and smashed the forts, which cannot be restrained. Those who are cunning and unsuccessful will be the robbers. Therefore, rats, dogs, and thousands of people are invincible. Numbers, such as Yilong, Zhang Panzi, Song Jiang, and Yuan Laoshan's genus, all of them are tens of thousands. Linying Yilong, Shouzhou Yuanlaoshan, their disciples are especially numerous, cutting wood and breaking jun, and there is no way to travel to the suburbs of Liang and Song Dynasties. The days are empty, and the days will be more and more. If there are more dispatches, I am afraid that what happened in Xiangyang and Luoyang will repeat itself in Nanyang, Lu'an and other feudal vassals!"

The censors in the court gave full play to their proficiency in messing around, constantly changing the topic, and shifting the focus of people's attention from whether Li Shouhan should be rewarded or not, to the source of the Liaodong army's salary, and whether or not Continue to levy three rates and increase distributions in all parts of the Central Plains.

Gradually, people's firepower began to concentrate, and the muzzle gradually pointed at Yang Sichang, the thief-suppressing supervisor who was favored by Chongzhen for a while and called Admiral Yanmei.

The faction that supported Yang Sichang, headed by Minister of the Ministry of War Chen Xinjia, launched a fierce verbal debate with Li Shouhan and Yang Sichang, a group of censors who were wronged by the country and were at odds with power and traitors. The intensity was no less than that of the 21st century In the big forum, the dispute between the black faction and the pink faction about a certain person and issue of common concern, when the debate reached a fierce point, there was a censor who almost wanted to set an example for the representatives of public opinion on a small island in the future. Look at us How to fight on the temples hundreds of years ago!Your way of pulling your hair and slapping your face is simply too childish.

At this scene, Zheng Zhilong, Li Huamei, Shi Lang and others who were at the gate of the hall didn't know what to do, they were shocked, mocked, sneered, and all kinds of expressions were mixed together.Is this the court of Ming Dynasty?Is this still a bit of court dignity?

Just when the censors and the doctors of the Ministry of War were about to start a close contact with each other that touched the body and soul with great interest, there was a roar from the throne.

"Enough! You are the minister of the court, why is it so absurd!"

The fury of Chongzhen's thunder made the hand-to-hand combat that was going to be staged in the court immediately disappear invisible.It's strange to say, why the so-called elite frontier soldiers dare not fight with Jiannu, but these court ministers are so keen on hand-to-hand combat?

The anger of the emperor immediately calmed down the ministers.The sober-minded ministers were divided into two camps again, the black faction and the pink faction, glaring at each other.The arrogance of the black faction has been greatly weakened, especially when many censor officials calm down, feeling that a storm is coming. Of course, there are also some black factions who are more determined to the end. The great thief of the court, who dared to disobey the edict of the emperor, was so rebellious and domineering, he really had no king, no father, no king!

However, they seem to have forgotten that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty probably resisted the edict more often than their hair.

"Wang Chengen, dismiss the court!"

Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, Li Huamei turned around resentfully and was about to leave, but was stopped by a eunuch with a smile all over her face.

"Princess Princess, please stay here for now! The emperor has a decree. Today the hall is full of noise. In the evening, we will have a banquet in the Queen's Palace for the princess, Zheng Zongbing, General Shi and other meritorious soldiers."

"My father-in-law, are you mistaken? We are not princesses. We are just the daughter of a man who has no king, no father, and no king!"

"Your Majesty, don't be as knowledgeable as these crows! The two princes and fathers have ordered that the emperor will reward the princess with the name and ceremonial costumes tonight. The slaves are here to congratulate the Empress first!")
