The composition of the unit is relatively complex, and this complexity is not only reflected in the external composition of the troops, but also in the internal source of fighters.

At first, Jiang Yu thought that all the 40,000 soldiers were gathered in the Mengyang area, but he soon received more detailed information about the Luchuan army that attacked Mengyang City.

These more detailed information are about the main generals of the troops under the command of Sijifa, and from the identities of these generals, Jiang Yugang has obtained deeper intelligence information, which is about the source of the entire army.

If you don't know the trajectory of Si Ji Fa and the background of his activities, it will be difficult to discover the key points of these intelligence information in a very short period of time, but Jiang Yu still has a certain understanding of Si Ji Fa person, and he also took this opportunity to discover the source of the 40,000 soldiers of Si Ji Fa.

Si Jifa is the eldest son of Si Renfa, the lord of Luchuan in the previous generation, and the subsequent battle of Luchuan broke out between Luchuan and Daming under his control.

This man could not be said to be a capable man, and when he took over as the ruler of the Luchuan power in 1443 AD, his father suffered a great defeat in the battle of the Ming army and fled to the territory of the Ava Dynasty, where he was detained by the king of the Ava Dynasty, the Xuanwei Envoy of the Burmese Xuanwei Division.

Later, he relied on his ingenuity to maneuver between the Ming army and the Ava Dynasty, using the concerns and calculations between the two to find his own living space, and by temporarily giving up the interests of Luchuan, the Ava Dynasty had a greedy heart for Luchuan, and used the suspicion of the Ming Army for the Burma Xuanhui Division and the Ava Dynasty to keep the land of Luchuan.

After that, Sijifa exchanged a temporary low profile for the withdrawal of the Ming army, and soon took over the dominance of the Sijia forces, completely controlling the Luchuan area of Mengyang and Mengmao, and became a force that the Ava Dynasty could not underestimate, so as to really win the living space in the Luchuan area.

From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, they originally won a great victory over the Luchuan forces, and arranged for people they approved to manage the land of Luchuan, and even the master of the Luchuan forces, Si Renfa, only ended up fleeing in defeat and was finally sent to commit suicide, and the Luchuan forces should have returned to their control.

But it backfired, a few years ago, it was still the Ming Dynasty's affiliated force Myanmar Xuanwei Division, and the subordinate prisoner of the Ava Dynasty actually cleverly used the slight gap between the Ming Dynasty and the Ava Dynasty to regain control of the Luchuan forces.

So the Fourth Battle of Luchuan broke out again, in the former historical world line, this is a war that has a result, a clear ending, and a clear story line.

In fact, the development path of the Fourth Battle of Luchuan, whether it was on the historical world line or on the world line where Jiang Yugang existed now, the trend was the same before he crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, that is, the overall situation of Luchuan was always at a disadvantage to the Ming army in the early stage.

The Luchuan army, which had lost a large number of important camps and fortresses, was captured by the Ming army along the way to a large number of towns, not only lost the important ancestral land of Mengmao, but also lost the city of Mengyang, and could only retreat to some towns in the north of the Ava Dynasty in Luchuan.

Originally, these towns were not as important as the geographical location of Meng Mao and Meng Yang, and they were rich in resources, because of their proximity to the Ava Dynasty, these towns could only be said to be solid and difficult to capture compared to the Ming army, and for other forces in the Luchuan area, they were actually difficult to maintain, and they were not very important places.

Although towns like Jiangtou City gradually declined and desolate because they were not devastated by war like Meng Mao and Meng Yang, and still maintained a certain degree of prosperity, and most of the Sijia forces also lived here for safety, these towns belonged to the Luchuan forces, but they belonged to the Ava Dynasty, that is, the local officials under the Burmese Xuanwei Division, but these local officials were influenced by the Luchuan forces, and they may be closer to the Luchuan forces than the Ava Dynasty.

After all, in the original Luchuan area, the Luchuan State was the real overlord, and the Ava Dynasty was only because the Luchuan Kingdom was continuously mired in bitter battles with the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, so that it could temporarily become the most powerful force on paper in the western part of the Indochina Peninsula.

It is said on paper because the Ava Dynasty, that is, the actual core force of the Burmese Propaganda Division, that is, the Ava King, the power that the Burmese Xuanwei Division Xuanwei can control is limited, and the territory of the Ava Dynasty is composed of a large number of local officials, who control the important cities of all parties, and have the name of the governor and the actual power.

Many of the Ava rulers also had the title of "Zhaofa", an honorific title for the lord of the Shan town, which implied "lord of heaven", and these people were not so much local officials under the control of the Ava dynasty as the princes of a land.

The small princes in various places nominally surrendered to the Ava Dynasty, the most powerful force in the area, but in fact they had their own choices, and some of the princes who were powerful in their own strength did not take the Ava Dynasty in their eyes at all, and were completely independent, and the relatively weaker princes actually had their own ghosts, or they had their own ideas.

These forces are more interested in the relative independence of their own power than obeying the will of the Ava Dynasty, and they are not like the forces like Toungoo who can not be afraid of the strong power of the Ava Dynasty, so they can only choose to combine with other relatively powerful forces to achieve their own higher status and power.

In the Luchuan region, these forces often choose to establish relations with the Luchuan State, or form an alliance, or focus on Luchuan, so as to have a certain degree of autonomy and independence, and because of the strong strength of Luchuan, the Ava Dynasty does not dare to directly do anything corresponding to the disposal, and can only wait for the Ming army to make a move on Luchuan, and then find an opportunity to fight for their own power.

But the Ava Dynasty, although it is said that the Burmese Xuanwei Division under the command of the Ming Dynasty, is theoretically the courtier of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact the degree of control by the Ming Dynasty is very low, the reason is actually very simple, the Ming Dynasty's rule in Yunnan still needs Mu Wangfu such an intermediate agent to achieve, and to the Luchuan area, the actual control is very low, and it is necessary to maintain control through constant war, and the Burmese Xuanwei Division is located in the south of Luchuan, which is more distant than the Ming Dynasty, this distance, It has already exceeded the administrative limits of the Ming Dynasty as a fifteenth-century dynasty, and it is impossible to effectively control the Burmese Xuanwei Division.

Therefore, the Ming can only sit back and watch this so-called Burmese Xuanwei Division exist in the form of an ancient feudal dynasty, and the Ava Dynasty itself will certainly not be willing to really give up its independent rights and completely obey the orders of the Ming Dynasty, so even if he has the ability and obligation to assist the Ming Dynasty to jointly attack Luchuan, he is not willing to choose to obey orders honestly, and even continue to obstruct the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Luchuan.

For this reason, the Ava Dynasty would rather pay the price of fighting with the Ming Dynasty, after all, this level of battle, compared to the Ming Dynasty's large-scale conquest war against the surrounding forces, is still a lot smaller, just as a punishment and a war of instructional significance, even if it is defeated, it can maintain its strength and will not suffer too much loss.

From here, in fact, it can be seen that the existence of Luchuan is of great significance to the Burmese Xuanwei Division and the Ava Dynasty, because it is precisely with the Luchuan forces as a buffer that the Ava Dynasty will not become the main object of the Ming Dynasty's conquest, so that it can only make some superficial submissions and pay some small costs to ensure its power.

And once the Luchuan forces are completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, then the next target of the Ming Dynasty's conquest, the first to bear the brunt of the Ava Xuanwei Division, this point can actually be glimpsed from the situation in Mubang and other places, once there is no intermediate force as a buffer, distract the energy of the Ming Dynasty, in the face of such a powerful country, the power of any surrounding forces will inevitably suffer serious impacts.

Therefore, as long as possible, the Ava Dynasty, that is, the Burmese Xuanwei Division, is actually unwilling to see the destruction of the Luchuan forces, no matter what form it takes, and does not want to see several cities in Luchuan completely controlled by the Ming Dynasty, even if the Luchuan forces are going to disappear, then the ones who accept the inheritance of Luchuan should also be the forces of their own side, that is, the Ava Dynasty will take over the Luchuan sphere of influence.

At this point, of course, Daming is not a stupid person, and he will not sit idly by and watch such an obvious intention of the Ava Dynasty come true, and naturally he will not allow the Ava Dynasty's request for the Ava Dynasty to control the original Luchuan land. From the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who the land of Luchuan is handed over, it cannot be handed over to the Ava Dynasty, which is already the largest force in this place.

If the Ava Dynasty of the Luchuan forces is annexed, then the new Burmese Xuanwei Division will become a more restless vassal than the previous Luchuan Xuanwei Division, not to mention that it itself claims to be the kingdom of the Ava Dynasty, and if it can control Luchuan, then it is not impossible to become a new large power that controls the western part of the Indochina Peninsula.

At that time, the Ava Dynasty will become a more difficult opponent than the Luchuan Kingdom, and the war of conquest of Luchuan will become meaningless, this kind of thing, the Ming Dynasty will never do, so even with the help of the Ava Dynasty's power, the problem of Luchuan can be solved quickly, but because it will cause greater problems, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to really rely on the ability of these relatively obedient vassals.

The reason is very simple, the reason why the current vassals have not become disobedient vassals like Lu Chuan is because their power is limited, and once this restriction disappears, the once honestly subdued vassals may become terrible monsters.

However, although the reason is simple, and as long as there is a clear strategic guidance, it can be effectively realized, but not all the time, the idea of strategic guidance is clear and will not make mistakes. Since the beginning of Ming Xuanzong, the Ming Dynasty has often made serious mistakes in its foreign strategy, and some of these mistakes have not been corrected in time, and eventually caused devastating disasters - but this is another story.

Time back to the fourteenth year of Yingzong's orthodoxy, Sijifa continued to lose important towns, the Ming army stationed in Mengyang, the most important core town in the Mengyang area, and their main forces were also defeated, achieved a miraculous reversal, and finally successfully prevented the conquest of the Ming army on the shore of the Indoji Great Lake, on the edge of Mengyang City.

And how did he regather a powerful force and change the situation when his main force was defeated, he lost his important camp, and even the power of the Sijia family was temporarily taken over by the rest of the group?

Jiang Yugang was also confused by the 40,000 soldiers summoned by Sijifa at first, but after getting the military information, combined with Sijifa's later life trajectory, he got the answer.
