Chapter 728: Da Shun Bai picked up a Burma
In the blink of an eye, it was 1650 AD.
This year is the fourth year of Hongxing of the Ming Dynasty, the seventh year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, and the second year of the co-governance of the Great Shun.
Of course, he can also choose none of them, and use the time of his accession to the throne to record the year, then this year will be the third year of King Mandala.
Unlike the Siamese Kingdom ruled by the Ayutthaya Dynasty next door, most of the territory of the Kingdom of Myanmar ruled by the Taungoo Kingdom once belonged to the "Three Xuanfu and Six Comforts" of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Nandian Xuanfu Division, the Ganya Xuanfu Division, the Longchuan Xuanfu Division, the Cheli Xuanfu Division, the Burmese Xuanfu Division, the Mubang Xuanwei Division, the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Division, the Mengyang Xuanwei Division, and the Laos Xuanwei Division.
Legally speaking, Siam is the outer domain of the Ming Dynasty, and the land under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Myanmar basically belongs to the internal domain of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the Shizhu Xuanwei Division of Qin Liangyu's family, as well as the current Pingxi, Shuofang, Sichuanxi, Sichuandong, Dongning, Jinghai, Jinou and other Qifang towns belong to the same nature, and they are all local self-government regimes within the Ming Dynasty!
Although the difference between the outer domain and the inner domain is only one word, it seems to be almost the same, they are both "domains", but the difference in legal theory is too great.
Oh, if the Ming Dynasty is half-dead, then King Mangdala doesn't have to pay attention to any external and internal domains - the Great Burma Donghu Dynasty doesn't eat the tributary system of the Ming Dynasty!
But the problem is that although the Ming Dynasty has lost half of the north and most of Sichuan and Yunnan, it seems that it is no longer possible, but it has erupted at sea and in the south.
First of all, it was reported that the Ming army entered Annan, supported King Li, canonized the four marquis, and completely pulled Annan back to the Ming Dynasty's vassal system.
Then came the news that the Ming Dynasty - the Annan coalition army was destroyed and the Ming army encroached on the Jinou and Jiulongjiang plains in the east of Zhenla, and set up two square towns of Jinou and Jinghai on the land of Zhenla and Zhancheng!
Before the Taungoo kings in Ava could recover from the upheaval in the east, even more terrible news came from neighboring Siam.
The King of Siam, under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty's naval fleet, signed a "Ming Siamese Treaty", fully accepted the "foreign vassal obligations" proposed by the Ming Empire, and also agreed that the Ming Dynasty would occupy 200,000 rai (about 480,000 mu) of land on the inner island and its surroundings, which was only a day's away from the city of Ayuttaya, for 1,000 troops to garrison 1,000 rai - 1,000 troops could use 200,000 rai of land? The princes and ministers of Donghu all thought that the spies sent to Siam would not count, either because they had too many places to count, or because they had too few soldiers.
Perhaps the Celestial Empire soldiers stationed in Siam were not 1,000, but 100,000......
Does the Great Tomorrow Dynasty want to bring Siam and Annam together to crusade against Donghu?
The current Donghu Dynasty is not the heyday of Mang Yinglong's rule! After Mang Yinglong's death, the Donghu Dynasty, which was greatly injured by Mang Yinglong's good Warring States Policy, encountered the outbreak of Siamese Na Li Xuan the Great, and was beaten to pieces, and finally picked up his life because Na Li Xuan the Great died of smallpox. However, the country was torn apart as a result, and it was not until more than 20 years ago that it was reunited by Mang Yinglong's grandson, Anabilon.
However, after the reunification, Burma has been wounded and no longer has the strength to go east and the Northern Expedition, so during the reign of King Tarong, the father of King Mangdala, the Taungoro Dynasty has been pursuing a policy of peace and trying to recuperate and restore national strength.
Although the national strength has recovered now, it is still a little difficult to fight against the combined forces of the Ming Dynasty, Siam and Annam, and now the Ming Dynasty has picked up the ability to sail again, not only from the land, but also by sea.
And because King Anabilon broke the Portuguese-controlled colony of Salem (near Yangon), Myanmar did not have a good relationship with the Westerners, and it no longer introduced a large number of foreign guns and artillery generals, so it was difficult to rely on the strength of the Westerners to resist the Ming Dynasty......
Therefore, there is only one option in front of King Mangdala now, that is, the second year of Dashun co-rule!
"Reckless white!" King Mandala, who was sitting high in the court of Ava, pointed to his brother Mangbai.
"Brother Wang!"
Mangbai, who was not white at all, hurriedly got up, bent down and walked to the throne of the royal brother, and then knelt down again.
Unlike the courtiers of the Ayutthaya Dynasty who fought shirtless, the monarchs and courtiers of Myanmar all wore clothes, and they were not popular with local tyrants, but Mangdala still wore a large gold chain around his neck.
King Mandala asked, "What is the name of the envoy sent by the Great Shun Kingdom in the north?" ”
"It's Huang Shu," replied Mang Bai, "are you going to put this unreasonable fellow to death?" ”
To kill an elephant is to trample to death with an elephant!
Huang Shu is now unlucky, he has been held by the Burmese for months, there is no good food, no good drink, and every day he may be dragged out for elephants to step on.
The reason why this happened was because he was sent to Burma as an envoy by Li Guo, the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, and also made a very unreasonable request in the eyes of the Burmese - Dashun asked the Burmese to be a vassal, pay tribute, stop supporting Mu Tianbo in Lijiang, and let the Dashun army use Meng Mi and Meng Yang to attack Longchuan, Ganya, Nandian and Tengchongwei and other places controlled by the Mu army.
It turned out that the Mu family in Yunnan was not finished, but with the support of Yang Weizhi, Wang Yunkai and others, they retreated to the northwest of Yunnan Province.
Now the main city of the Mu family has been moved to Lijiang Mansion and Zhuang Si, while Yang Weizhi and Wang Yunkai have stationed troops in Yongchang Mansion, relying on the dangerous terrain of Gaoligong Mountain to resist Li Dingguo's army.
The reason why the remnants of the Mu family have been able to hold on to this day is, of course, inseparable from the support of many pro-Ming Tusi in Burma - this matter actually has little to do with the Taungoo Dynasty, and the so-called unification of the Taungoo Dynasty is actually the allegiance and tribute of the feudal lords everywhere, not the establishment of a comprehensive and effective bureaucratic rule in Burma.
And the influence of the Ming Dynasty and the Qianguo Gong Mu family in northern Myanmar has not been completely eliminated, and many toasts are one foot and two boats. While supplying Ava, he also provided supplies to the Mu family's army.
On the other hand, although Li Dingguo was able to fight well, his army also had some problems after entering Yunnan. First of all, the water and soil are not adapted, and the people of Shaanxi and Henan are not used to the water and soil of Myanmar!
The second is that Li Dingguo's political ability is not good, and he rudely copied the two basic national policies of "enclosing land" and "Juntian" implemented by the Dashun Dynasty in Sichuan to Yunnan.
This is a hornet's nest!
The Tusi leaders in Yunnan, who originally had high hopes for Dashun, suddenly became loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and the old Mu family, and most of the Tusi in northern Myanmar supported the Mu family army because of this - who can be bluffed by the national border or something in these years? Dashun Heavenly Soldier said that he would call it......
So Li Dingguo ran into trouble in Yunnan, an endless battle, and an endless thief!
However, the Dashun court in Chongqing was unwilling to give up the implementation of the "enclosure" and "juntian" routes in Yunnan. Because in the eyes of the kings of the council and Li Guo, the son of heaven, Yunnan is not an insignificant remote territory, but the retreat of the Great Shun Dynasty.
If you don't work hard, once Sichuan doesn't defend it in the future, the Dashun Dynasty will perish.
Therefore, the Dashun court not only did not give up the "enclosure" and "Juntian", but also pointed the finger at the Donghu Dynasty in Burma, and sent Huang Shu, the unlucky man, as an envoy to visit Ava, asking Burma to be a minister, pay tribute, and help suppress!
Of course, Mangdala refused, so he detained Huang Shu and prepared to pick a good day.
But picking and choosing, the good days suitable for elephant death have not been picked, but the country of Siam next door has changed!
Considering that both the Ming and Siam were enemies of Burma, Mangdala did not dare to let the elephants trample the envoys of Dashun to death.
"No, no, no......," said Mangdala, shaking his head to his brother, "now is not the time to kill the envoy of Dashun...... We have to pay homage to Dashun! If the combined forces of the Ming Dynasty, Annam, and Siam come to our aid, only the Great Shun Dynasty can send troops to aid us! ”
