Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the ninth day of the first lunar month in the 22nd year of Wucheng, the Xia army from the West Road arrived at the foot of Pasheng City. Army and Arakan Army.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month of that year, the follow-up Xia troops drawn from the Mekong Inland Fleet and the Longxiang Army under the Seventh, Eighth, and Tenth Fleets arrived in Daguang; At the same time, [-] troops of Lan Ketai (whose territory is the five prefectures around Chiang Mai in northern Thailand), who claimed vassalage to China and Siam at the same time, arrived at the front line of Mawlamyine; The Second Division under the subordinate has already arrived in western Yunnan, and there are great signs of going directly to Burma.

Facing the precarious situation, the King of Gnindane, who has personally led the Northern Repatriation Army to the old capital of Toungoo, seems to be in a state of desperation---he is eager to fight the enemy on the southern front, but he is worried that the failure of the battle will make the situation completely impossible. Clean up --- easily unable to choose whether to take the risk of attacking or conservatively defending, the King of Grindane had to do it and once again sued for peace with China.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Kingdom asks us to cede the Lower Tanasarin region, Pathein Province, Bago Province, and Daguang Province to them;" the trembling minister brought the answer from China. "Also demand the cession of the Upper Tanasarin area to Siam; the cession of Chin State and Magway Province from Arakan; Tusi; compensation for Huaxia and Lieutenant fees of 900 million silver coins; the king and the royal family have been monks for three years to pay for their previous sins and pray for the blessing of the former Ming Yongli Emperor; allow Chinese businessmen to do business, mine, and buy properties in Myanmar; Huaxia agreed; Chinese merchants committing crimes in Burma should be handed over to the Chinese envoys in Burma for trial"

"This is to completely destroy Myanmar." The courtiers accompanying the army discussed one after another. "Never agree."

The king of Grindane blushed and said after a long time: "Myanmar can hand over Chin State to Arakan, hand over Upper Tanasarim to Siam, hand over the east of the Salween River to Lankotay, and also agree to hand over Lower Tanasarin was handed over to Huaxia, but the provinces of Magway, Pathein, Bago, and Daguang are the foundation of Myanmar, and there is absolutely no possibility of ceding them; as for compensation, trade, etc., they can all be agreed."

King Gningdane meant to ask for the price and pay back the money on the spot, but the Burmese envoy who went back and forth brought the final answer from China: "What, the peace conditions cannot be changed, great, this is to force Burma to make peace with you. The decisive battle, come, and issue an order to all parts of Myanmar, all men must come to Toungoo immediately."

Although the strength of the army is several times that of the opponent, King Grindane does not think that he has a chance to defeat the powerful Xia army, so he is ready to fight with all his strength at the moment of the country's survival.However, the king didn't know that because of last year's large-scale conscription, all parts of Myanmar were on the verge of famine, and how could the Burmese men who had already tasted the taste of hunger leave their wives and children who were starving for food at this time to fight for the illusory in their eyes? What about national sacrifices in Myanmar?Therefore, after the edict of King Grindane was issued, Myanmar, which was already about to storm, fell into irreparable turmoil.

The latent storm quickly intensified. On February 22, [-], Wucheng, the people in Ruibo, Sagaing Province, Myanmar refused to perform military service and tried to hide a small amount of life-saving food. The brutal repression of the lords.The news spread to Mandalay Province, and civilians from all over the country complained to the temple and the royal court administrative agencies, praying for a chance to survive. However, under the tight situation on the front line, the petitions supported by the temple were rejected or even suppressed by the Myanmar government without exception. .The people who failed to petition had no choice but to instigate riots, so the flames of war ignited all over Myanmar.

The riots of the civilians also aroused the delusions of some nobles. The Bagan local nobleman U Ne Win quickly raised the banner of the king’s inhumane crusade in an attempt to restore the Bagan Dynasty. The nobles and lords of other clans became independent one after another, and the trend spread to Toungoo, and even the assembled royal army began to fall apart.Neighboring countries in western Myanmar, such as Manipur, Ghajar, and Jaintiya, which are called the large and small panpan areas in Chinese official documents, also took advantage of the news and robbed Myanmar's western and northwest borders.

Seeing that the kingdom was about to be overthrown, the king of Grindane couldn't continue to be tough, so he sent envoys to contact Huaxia again, fully agreed to Huaxia's request and prayed for Huaxia to send troops to assist the Toungoo Dynasty in suppressing the rebellion in various parts of Myanmar.

On March 500th, the "Xiamen Suzerainty Treaty" was formally signed, and Huaxia obtained the expected sovereignty over Pathein Province, Daguang Province, South Bago Province and the Lower Tanasarin area, and gained control over the west of the Salween River The protection rights of the chieftains of the Shan nationality and the chieftains of the former Liuwei area in western Yunnan.In addition, other commercial and foreign-related legal rights requested by Huaxia have also been approved by the Taungoo Dynasty, and because Myanmar is temporarily unable to pay a total of 400 million war reparations and borrowing [-] million military expenses from Huaxia, it has obtained Myanmar customs. Guan Quan has completely grasped the economic lifeline of Myanmar.As a result, Myanmar became a semi-colony of China.

On March 21, under the control of Huaxia, the Taungoo Dynasty signed the "Myanmar-Arab Border Treaty" with Arakan, and the Yabie, Mindeng, Xinamma, Minwu, Meera, and Dikemao west of the Ayeyarwady River On the same day, Myanmar signed the "Myanmar-Siamese Border Treaty" with Siam, and handed over the still-holding Mawlamyine City and the entire Upper Tanasarim area to Siam , and ceded the suzerainty of the Mon, Karen, and Kayah chieftains in the middle reaches of the Salween River to Siam.

On March 23, Myanmar reached a "Commerce Treaty" with Lan Ketai again, and sold the Shan chieftains east of the upper reaches of the Salween River to Lan Ketai at a price of 50 guan.

So far, China and Siam conspired to carve up Burma for the first time, and the Xia Army, Arakan Army, Siam Army, and Lankothai Army, which were once invading armies, have also changed in a grandiose manner, and they have become the stately forces in Daningene. Wang invited the intervention army to help quell the domestic crisis in Myanmar.

"I can't agree." In the city of Moulmein, Wu Dunsheng, who had received the edict from the king of Grindane, yelled at the envoy angrily. "This, this is the betrayal of Myanmar." Wu Dunsheng, who has initially awakened the concept of a nation-state, said decisively. "I will not hand over the city of Mawlamyine to the Siamese, never."

"General, do you know what you are doing?" Wang Envoy looked at Wu Dunsheng's ferocious face without flinching. "Your majesty is waiting for the royal army in Moulmein City, and also waiting for the Siamese army to go north to help in the war. At this time, you refuse to hand over the city of Moulmein. What do you want to do? Do you also want to follow those traitors and make trouble?"

"Rebellion? No, the king is rebellious." Wu Dunsheng confronted him. "How much blood did my ancestors shed to win Dhanasarim, and I will give it to the enemy in one sentence. Is this worthy of the ancestors? Is it worthy of the soldiers who lost not long ago?" Thinking of the officers and soldiers of the Burmese army who died at the hands of the Siamese, Wu Dunsheng said Eyes are a little red. "It is simply unreasonable to join forces with the Siamese who slaughtered the Burmese and continue to slaughter their own people."

"You." Wang Envoy looked at Wu Dunsheng in surprise. "General, do you know what you are talking about? You are betraying."

"I did not betray." Wu Dunsheng waved his hand. "I will never betray Myanmar, so I will never hand over the city of Moulmein." Wu Dunsheng made a gesture, and his subordinates quickly drove the envoy out of the room, listening to the envoy's cursing gradually lowered , Wu Dunsheng sighed faintly, and then said firmly. "The Burmese will never leave an inch of their land behind."

Although the city wall of Moulmein has been damaged many times, Wu Dunsheng, who drove out the Siamese who invaded the city several times, still has the confidence to defend Moulmein, but although his confidence is sufficient, it cannot be recognized by others. Another general Wu Kebai believes that it is meaningless for the more than 3 surviving Burmese soldiers to defend the city of Moulmein now that the king has ceded the Upper Tanasarin area.But he couldn't convince Wu Dunsheng, who was above him, and could only watch the development of the situation with a sad face.

"The king has decreed to get rid of the traitor Wu Dunsheng." The king's envoy who came from Dongyu again was turned away by Wu Dunsheng again, but this time the envoy brought an order to deal with it. "So, I hope to get the general's help."

"General Wu Dunsheng deserves credit. How can Your Majesty do that?" Under the envoy's sharp gaze, Wu Kebai said with his tongue trembling. "This, if this is leaked, it will only cause turmoil in the army in the city."

"The turmoil is nothing more than Wu Dunsheng's open rebellion." Wang said in a cold tone. "There are tens of thousands of Siamese troops outside the city. Can the rebels stand out and threaten the king's great cause of countering the rebellion? Impossible, at most they will kill themselves, but is such a sacrifice meaningful? General Wu Kebai, the king Your army is needed."

my army?Wu Kebai, who heard the veiled gesture from the envoy Wang, couldn't help laughing bitterly to himself.In fact, he is not a person who is keen on power, otherwise he would have seized power when Wu Tun Seng failed.But what the envoy Wang said was also reasonable. If the defenders of Mawlamyine City insisted on not giving up the city when they had no food inside and no reinforcements outside, they might starve to death in the end.Instead of letting these remnants of battles starve to death and starve to death, it is better to give them a way out.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will arrange it." Wu Kebai said with difficulty. "Just please save General Wu Dunsheng's life."

The envoy gave Wu Kebai a cold look, and said after a long time: "The king's request is to bring this army back to Dongyu safely, so I only need the general to do this."

Late at night on the seventh day of April in the 22nd year of Wucheng, there was a sudden cry of killing in the city of Mawlamyine, which had ceased fire for quite a long time.

When the awakened guard Wu Dunsheng came out with his subordinates to put down the rebellion, he unexpectedly discovered that the leader of the rebel army was his deputy. Wu Dunsheng, who knew everything, asked angrily, "Wu Kebai, are you also confused?"

"No," Wu Kebai came into Wu Dunsheng's sight. "I just want to take them home."

"Go home?" Wu Dunsheng smiled sadly. "Myanmar is already in flames of war, where is there any home?"

Looking at the slightly agitated crowd, Wu Kebai replied plainly: "As long as people are alive, there will be families."

Wu Dunsheng swung his knife and shouted loudly: "If you want to abandon the land of Myanmar, just step over my dead body."

Wu Kebai turned his head dismally, and then a tide of chaotic soldiers rushed over
