Chapter 511: Rebuilding the Protectorate
With the aftermath of the Battle of Tan Cai and Lao Guan Tun, the situation in Burma was also developing rapidly, and the Shan people, under the leadership of their leader Gong Li Yan, launched an uprising against the King of Taungoo, and the Mon people in Lower Burma also responded en masse, supporting a monk as the king in Baigu, known as the Buddha Ji Di.
The Shan and Mon tribes were the main clans of the Taungoo Dynasty, so when they launched an uprising, the blow to the Taungoo Dynasty was no less than the defeat of Laoguantun this time, and even exceeded.
The city of Ava is bordered by the famous Ayeyarwady River in Myanmar to the north, the Mitanga River, a tributary of the Ayeyarwady River to the east, and the canals connecting the two rivers to the south and west. Its entire urban layout is different from other square capitals in Burma, and like a crouching lion, it is also the capital of Burma since the Ava Dynasty.
After Mang Yinglong succeeded to the throne, he eliminated the Ava dynasty, conquered the Shan states of Burma, and made the city of Ava his capital, so that for more than 100 years, the city remained the center of the whole of Burma.
After all, the Shan population here is large, and the Burmese can suppress it, so there is an undercurrent in Ava City today, and people are more or less worried about whether the vendetta between the Shan and Burmese tribes can be avoided? What about the threat from Da Chu?
In this situation of internal and external troubles, the contemporary King of Donghu, Daningge, convened the ministers of Donghu and began to discuss countermeasures, hoping to find a suitable way out.
"Your Majesty, right now, the Shan and Meng tribes are in turmoil, they have always dreamed of restoring Ava and Baigu, and even took advantage of this opportunity to jump out, we must not let them succeed, we should send an envoy to make peace with Da Chu now, and then make every effort to suppress the Shan and Meng tribes."
The minister Peng Naiwen jumped out, he has always been inclined to suppress the Shan and Meng clans in the country, but he doesn't care too much about the menacing Ning Chu.
Donghu Wang Daninge sighed a long sigh, the decline of Donghu did not start from his generation at all, in fact, as early as the reign of Militi and Sani, Donghu had begun to gradually decline, so that since he came to power, the situation has almost reached the point of no return, and all kinds of malpractices have exploded in one go.
Strictly speaking, Ning Chu's attack was just the last straw that crushed this camel that was about to die of illness, and what really made Donghu completely lose its strength was strictly speaking, the huge ethnic contradictions and political corruption within the Donghu Dynasty, even if there was no Han army, the uprising of the Shan and Meng tribes would only be postponed for ten years.
It's not that the Donghu monarchs and ministers don't understand this truth, but for them now, they lack the courage and time to reform themselves, and they can only go on in a daze, waiting for the final general outbreak. And when this day really comes, it will be like a person who is about to drown, to grasp the last straw.
Daningene frowned slightly, and said, "But what if they don't want to negotiate peace?" ”
Speaking of this problem, everyone had a little headache, this problem was too tricky, but for the Donghu monarchs, there was no reason to blame Ning Chu, because this was simply the bitter fruit of their own making.
Long before the decisive battle between Ning Chu and the Qing court, the outbreak of the Southwest War not only affected the domestic pattern, but also had a great impact on Burma at that time, especially with a dream that the Burmese monarch had always had, so that he took the risk of launching an attack on Tiebi Pass.
Since the beginning of the 34th year of Jiajing, after the king of the Donghu Dynasty Mang Yinglong conquered Ava and unified Burma, he did not curb his ambitions, but continued to advance northward, in order to be able to control the Tusi in northern Burma, especially in Yunnan, but after being beaten by the Ming court, the Burmese reined in their ambitions and began to wait for opportunities.
Later, when the Ming and Qing dynasties changed, Burma itself also fell into serious civil strife, so it did not further explore the attack, but after Ning Chu fought in Yunnan, it made the Donghu monarchs and ministers at this time think that they saw an opportunity, and did not hesitate to send troops to attack Tiebi Pass to test Ning Chu's reality.
But it doesn't matter if this one of the troops is sent back, first by the Fu Han army to counterattack, and then by the stingy Emperor Ning, at that time, it was because of the problem of the Northern Expedition, so he didn't do anything further, but now that he has just freed up his hands, he will naturally send troops.
Ponnewin shook his head lightly and said, "Whether they agree or not, we can't continue to fight like this, Your Majesty, let's quickly send troops to quell the rebels!" ”
Daningene looked at the others, and seeing that everyone had no intention of objecting, he nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then so be it......"
.........
At the end of June, Jingshi, Changchun Garden.
It is the scorching summer, but in the Changchun Garden is a shade, here is the earliest Mingshenzong's maternal grandfather Li Wei built the "Tsinghua Garden", covers a large area, known as "the first garden in Beijing".
Later, after the Qing court entered the customs, the Qing court used the remnants of the Qinghua Garden to build the Changchun Garden on its old site to imitate the Jiangnan landscape to build the Changchun Garden, as the royal palace, and later after the completion of the Changchun Garden, the Kangxi Emperor particularly liked this garden, but lived in the garden for half of the time every year.
And now that Ning Chu has occupied the Jingshi, he has naturally renovated Changchun Garden for Ning Yu to enjoy and live, and most of the scenery has been preserved, which is quite a bit of Jiangnan style.
At this time, in the Qingxi Study House, Ning Yu was wearing a thin cyan robe and playing with a folding fan in his hand, looking less like an emperor than a young scholar, and the whole person highlighted a bit of gentle and elegant temperament.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, your ministers will meet Your Majesty!"
Choi Kui-seo, the Minister of Parliament of the DPRK, and Kim Il-kyung, the Minister of Parliament of the Left Parliament, were kneeling on the ground at this time, bowing three times and nine times to Emperor Ning, shouting long live.
Cui Wancai, the second assistant on the side, smiled slightly, turned sideways and looked at the two kneeling on the ground, but he didn't say a word.
Ning Yu waited until the two of them finished the big salute before he raised his hand lightly and said with a smile: "The two Qing family don't have to be polite, please sit down." ”
Cui Kuirui hurriedly said in a loud voice: "The minister doesn't dare, just kneel." And Jin Yijing also behaved like this, kneeling on the ground and nodding again and again, although it was quite cool in the Qingxi Library, but the two of them were very humble.
Seeing that the two of them didn't dare to stand up, Ning Yu stopped stopping and said softly: "Although the situation in North Korea is difficult and dangerous now, I still invited the two ministers to Beijing. ”
"When they heard the hadith, the ministers were overjoyed."
Cui Kuirui felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this on his face, so he said a pretext.
Ning Yu sighed leisurely, "I invited you to come, naturally because I really shouldn't be the king of North Korea!" ”
Cui Queirui and Jin Yijing's hearts jumped, but they didn't have the slightest joy, the two of them had already seen that if they wanted to regain their past authority and status, Ning Yu, the king of North Korea, really had to do it, and he couldn't do it if he didn't do it! Pi Phi Reading.com
"Why did Your Majesty say this? If Your Majesty does not become the king of North Korea, won't he ignore the tens of millions of Korean Li Shu? How can this stabilize the hearts of the people in the world? Cui Queri said loudly.
"Bold! Your Majesty's holy will, how can you understand it? ”
Choi Wancai pretended to scold on the side, but it made the two North Korean ministers almost tremble.
Ning Yu waved his hand, "Cui Qing must not be like this, the responsibilities of the two Qing families, I still have to listen to it......." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Cui Kuirui and Jin Yijing, and pretended to say: "But I am in Beijing, but I have heard that the Koreans do not welcome me, and they want to welcome the Li family as king?" ”
Cui Queirui's heart was relieved, and said: "Your Majesty, such absurd words are by no means said by the loyal ministers of North Korea, they are nothing more than those who serve the Tartars, and they are afraid ......of His Majesty's tiger power, and their words are just to deceive some foolish men and women in the countryside, and they must not fight with the party.
Ning Yu smiled and said softly, "Then how should we deal with such disloyal and unrighteous people?" ”
"You deserve to kill it!" Jin Yijing gritted his teeth on the side, he hated these rumor-mongers very much, if it was really the Li family in power, how could he have a good life for Jin Yijing?
"Good!"
Ning Yu laughed loudly, but suddenly smiled, and said: "I naturally believe in the loyalty of the two Qing families, but some people in North Korea have always had some unrealistic dreams, do you understand?" ”
Cui Kuirui gritted his teeth and said: "The ministers understand that as long as Your Majesty sends troops to expel the Tartars as soon as possible, Your Majesty is the rightful lord of Korea. ”
"What if someone from the Li clan objected?" Cui Wancai added a sentence with a smile.
"Kill yourself! Lee's kindness has been extinguished in North Korea...... North Korea should regard Dachu as Zhengshuo and His Majesty as the king of Korea! ”
Ning Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, since that's the case, Second Assistant, then how about sealing Choi Lingzheng as the Duke of Gyeongju and Fengjin as the Duke of Cheongju?" ”
"What Your Majesty says, he is a holy judge."
Cui Kuirui and Jin Yijing heard this, but they were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, you must know that these are two dukes, only under the king of Joseon, especially now that Ning Yu is also the king of Joseon, the whole of North Korea can be said to have become the world of the two.
Of course, the premise is naturally that Ning Chu can send troops to expel the Eight Banners, thus restoring Korean rule.
Just when the two of them were ecstatic in their hearts, a person walked in from outside the study house, but it was a privy deputy sent by the Privy Council, he walked quickly to the hall, but he presented a letter, and said loudly: "Return to Your Majesty, a great victory in Burma!" ”
"Burma's victory?"
Cui Kuirui and Jin Yijing's hearts jumped suddenly, when they came to Jingshi, they knew that Ning Chu was still fighting a war in the extremely far southwest, and the scale of this war was as many as tens of thousands of people, but they didn't expect that it would be just in time today.
"Good, good!"
Ning Yu read the excerpt seriously, but shouted the word "good" three times in a loud voice, and then said with deep meaning: "There is something else to do today, the two secretaries will go down first, you can play in Beijing for a few days, and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have a good farewell later." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cui Kuirui and Jin Yijing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, but when they left, the two of them almost couldn't help their inner curiosity, the emperor said the word 'good' three times in a row, could it be that he won a big victory in Burma?
Thinking about the current situation of the Eight Banners, the two of them were immediately extremely sure, with Ning Chu's strength, they were afraid that there would be no opponents in the world, no matter what victory they achieved, they were probably the right thing to do, but with the current situation in North Korea, they didn't know when and what month they could seek a victory.
Just after the two left, Ning Yu handed the excerpt to Cui Wancai and said: "This time Cheng Ming did a good job, the first battle almost wiped out the elite of Myanmar, there should be no major war in the future, and the strategy against Myanmar has basically become more than half." ”
After Cui Wancai read the excerpt, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked Cheng Ming to appease the Shan and Meng clans in Burma, is it to re-establish the pattern of the year?" ”
Ning Yu smiled slightly and said: "That's right, Myanmar before the rise of Donghu was the ideal pattern in my heart, and now that I have this opportunity and strength, I must not let the heroes in his country reunify the Myanmar community." ”
What was Burma before the rise of Taungoo? To put it bluntly, it is an era of competition for hegemony and disputes among princes.
The pattern of Myanmar and the Central Plains is very different, and it can be said that there is very little time for real unification, but it is the state of disintegration that is the real normalization.
Before the establishment of the Bagan Dynasty, Myanmar had always been in a loose state, and the king of Bagan, Anuruda, actively developed outward, ending the situation of competing for hegemony among the countries in the Burmese region at that time, and becoming the first Burmese country to achieve unification.
It was only after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty that Kublai Khan sent envoys to Bagan many times to surrender, but the king of Bagan at that time did not pay any attention to it, which made Kublai Khan furious, so he sent people to attack Bagan many times one after another, especially after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, due to the great increase in national strength, it successfully broke through the city of Bagan, making Bagan become the puppet of the Yuan Dynasty.
After Bagan lost power, the division of its country could no longer be stopped, and less than a hundred years later, the Shan people established the Awa state in eastern Myanmar, while the Mon people established the Baigu state in southern Myanmar, and in the middle were scattered countries such as Taungoo, Mubang, Mongyang, Monmi, Arakan and other states, as well as the Tusi states.
Cui Wancai's eyes froze, and he said: "Your Majesty's intention, isn't it to rebuild the 'Three Propaganda and Six Comforts'?" ”
"No, the traditional 'three declarations and six comforts' is not the ..... I want"
Ning Yu shook his head and said: "In fact, the 'Three Propaganda and Six Comforts' in the past were all supported by the central government, and once the central power is exhausted, it will not be sustainable, so I think that it is better to rebuild the capital protection mansion, and only the new capital protection mansion model can better maintain the status of my Great Chu Quartet vassal status." ”
