Mang Bai was suddenly attacked and killed by Prime Minister Xi Zhen with lightning speed, and all the defenders at the head of the city were stunned.

Such a terrifying scene is beyond everyone's imagination.

It's just that as soon as Mang Bai died, everyone quickly understood their own situation, and when the Tang army outside the city was eyeing them, of course they knew that the only way to save their lives now was to obey Xizhen's order and surrender to the Tang army with him, which was the most correct choice.

So, everyone immediately knelt down in unison and shouted loudly in unison: "We will obey the order of the prime minister and immediately open the city gate to welcome the Tang army into the city!" ”

Soon, the north gate of Ava City was opened, and the Tang army swarmed in like a torrent of steel, quickly submerging the foreign capital.

After the Tang army entered the city, the prime minister Xizhen, who led his troops to surrender, and a group of Burmese generals in the city were immediately brought to Mo Changrong, the chief general of the Tang army, by a group of Tang soldiers.

As soon as he saw Mo Changrong sitting on a horse, Sizhena bowed.

He knelt on the ground with a shy face, and didn't dare to look at Mo Changrong on the horse, and after taking a long breath, he bowed his hand and said: "The criminal minister is the Prime Minister of Burma, Xi Zhen, thank you Tang Jun for not killing!" The criminal minister is ignorant, late to this day to kill the tyrant Mangbai, and the whole army is late anyway, please ask Mayor Mo to punish the crime! ”

The other subordinate generals, when they saw that the lord would bow to Sizhen, did not hesitate anymore, and immediately followed Xizhen and knelt down to pay homage.

"Alas, Prime Minister Xizhen get up quickly!" Mo Changrong was very proud in his heart, but he immediately turned over and dismounted, picked up Xi Zhen from the ground, and after looking him up and down again, he smiled and said: "It is really a very wise move for the general to kill the tyrant at such an urgent moment this time, and to come in time anyway to avoid a sword fight, and it is also a great achievement." All the previous festivals and unhappiness can be revealed. I will be the king of Tang and ask him to reward the prime minister of Xizhen. As for your soldiers, not only can your own lives and property be preserved, but I will also ask the King of Tang for a reward for you as I promised before. ”

Xi was really happy, but on the surface he still made a look of shame, he didn't dare to raise his head, but just bowed his hand again: "Thank you, General Mo!" Reckless and stupid do not know the general trend, have eyes and do not know Mount Tai, and force to compete with your army, today I was killed, it can be said that I brought disaster upon myself, and I deserve it! It's just that we, as Burmese, have no face at all after this defeat, and how General Mo wants to deal with us, but by disposal, there is no other word. ”

"Xizhen, you don't have to be so polite. As I have already said, since our army has allowed you to surrender, this previous conflict and all kinds of unhappiness can be revealed, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. Mo Changrong was inexplicably happy in his heart, he laughed, patted Xizhen on the shoulder affectionately, and replied: "Although you are Burmese, you are very knowledgeable about current affairs, and you are really a rare handsome material. This time he has made a great achievement, and he is even more loyal and commendable, and he will be glorious for a thousand years, how can he have no face. If from now on, you are willing to serve our Tang Army and help our army pacify the whole of Burma, then the future will be rich and rich, and the rest of the people will not be able to reach it. ”

Xi Zhen was overjoyed, but his face was still flushed, he smiled with a smile on his face, and subconsciously looked at each other with the rest of the generals. I found that although these people were all silent, they all had a faint look of joy on their faces.

Xi Zhen turned around, forced a smile on his face, and sighed again: "I'm ashamed, thank General Mo Houde Longen again, your army is willing to accept us, regardless of the past, such leniency, then how can we not put our hearts in our hearts and swear allegiance to the death?" From now on, we are willing to work under your army's tent to drive and do our best. ”

When Mo Changrong heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he kept sighing in his heart.

Xizhen is a guy with a flexible heart, and it's really fast to take refuge in the new master. Although he is still pretending to cover it up on the surface, he is afraid that in his heart, it should be happy to bloom. However, those who can adapt to the situation in a timely and rapid manner are now just right for their own use.

Mo Changrong despised it in his heart, but on the surface, he looked like he admired it, and he said in a deep voice: "Very good, Xi Zhen's statement is very much in line with the heart of this town. Rest assured, since our army can accommodate the surrender of others, there is no doubt about it. As long as you serve faithfully, how can you not trust? However, you also need to know that our Tang Army can not blame the past, but it will never allow changes in the future. After coming to our army this time, you must be loyal to us wholeheartedly, and there must be no repetition, otherwise, the military law will be ruthless, and the Tang King will not be spared! ”

Xi Zhen's heart froze, and he responded urgently: "This is natural, why should the general worry about it." We are the generals of the defeated army, and we are people in a foreign land, and we are really grateful to allow the Tang army to take them in, and we dare to have different hearts again. The subordinates of our army let your army arrange the distribution, and they all obeyed their orders. I also hope that King Tang and General Mo can use the materials regardless of their previous suspicions, and find a way out for the soldiers of our army, and they will be at ease. Here, let me thank General Mo in advance on their behalf. ”

Seeing that Xizhen was so well-behaved, but he was a completely different person from the previous persuasion, Mo Changrong was extremely happy.

He nodded, and said with a smile: "Well, you really like what you say. In our Tang army, it has never been allowed to become a mountain, which is a big taboo. Your troops and horses, since they come from the same country, naturally have to be completely reorganized and reorganized by our army, and the generals who originally belonged to the army will also seek their own way out, and you can rest assured that this is you. Now the time is urgent, and I will fly to the letter to the Tang King, and arrange for you to wait for a group of people. As for you Xizhen Prime Minister, the Tang King will definitely be even more stingy with rewards and promotions, so as to give you the power to serve. ”

An incomparably bright smile finally bloomed on Seokjin's face, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground completely.

So, without saying a word, he immediately agreed loudly with a sneer, and then worked with the civil officials of the Tang Army Supervision Department to rectify and pack up the more than 40,000 soldiers and horses in his city, and completely report and pay all kinds of baggage equipment in the army to the Tang Army.

After Xizhen and the others left satisfied, the family of Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, was also taken to Mo Changrong by the Tang soldiers.

Seeing this ragged, unkempt, and terrifying black-red blood scab on the wound on his neck, and then looked at the princess and young son next to him who were also dove-shaped and hoof-faced, Mo Changrong smacked his lips, and felt infinite emotion in his heart for a while.

This King Gui, in order to avoid the attack of the Tang army, fled from Guizhou to Yunnan, and fled from Yunnan to Burma, such hard twists and turns, but all his subordinates were almost lost, even he himself was extremely lucky to escape from Mangbai's hands, if it was not for the timely arrival of the Tang army, and finally saved his life, I am afraid that this person's blood will be exhausted.

Seeing that Mo Changrong was speechless for a while, Zhu Youlang reacted first, he turned around, stopped the princess and his young son from kneeling together, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Wang is incompetent, thank you Tang Jun for saving me, I can't express my gratitude in my heart." ”

"King Gui please hurry up, and the last general will dare to accept this great gift." Mo Changrong hurriedly went over, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Youlang's family up one by one: "I am clumsy, I don't know what to say for a while, and I hope that His Royal Highness King Gui will not be surprised." King Gui has any words and requirements, but he can tell the last general directly. Zhu Youlang left his words, suddenly laughed miserably, shook his head and sighed: "This king is now, it is extremely difficult to survive by luck, and An dares to have his thoughts." Thinking about it, the king was obscure at the beginning, and the hard drive was hostile to the king of Tang, and finally fled to a foreign country, but he almost died here, and I really regretted it. ”

Mo Changrong said with a smile: "King Gui, what good is it to mention these past things. When the last general led troops into Burma, he also got the order of King Tang, as long as King Gui could be saved, when King Gui could make a request, he would definitely settle King Gui's family properly. ”

After Zhu Youlang listened, before he could say anything, he suddenly heard someone crying behind Mo Changrong and rushed forward, Zhu Youlang took a look and found that it was Li Guotai, the servant he had sent back to China before.

"Cathay, you're finally back!" Zhu Youlang's voice trembled

Li Guotai cried and rushed forward, and a few steps away from Zhu Youlang, he knelt on the ground: "King Gui, it's too late for Cathay to return to save the car, and I hope King Gui will forgive your sins." ”

Zhu Youlang hurriedly helped him up and comforted: "Why did Guotai say this, if you didn't avoid the hardships and dangers, sneaked back to China to save the soldiers, this king would have been in a foreign country and dry bones, get up and speak quickly." ”

Li Guotai stood up, stopped crying, and hurriedly explained to Zhu Youlang how his group sneaked back from Burma, how they were rescued by the Tang army when they were in great danger, and finally he and the prince Zhu Cihuan successfully arrived in the Ming Kingdom.

Hearing that Zhu Cihuan had successfully returned to China and was treated by the Tang Army in time, although he was now crippled with a leg, he finally saved his life, Zhu Youlang looked sad, but he still sighed long.

"The incompetence of the guilty minister is so crippled that the prince's legs are crippled, please punish His Royal Highness King Gui." Li Guotai bowed his head and bowed his hand

Zhu Youlang sighed, and patted his hand comfortingly: "Alas, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, Cathay can take my son to escape the pursuit of the Burmese soldiers with such hardships and save his life, it is not easy, and it is too late for this king to be grateful." ”

Li Guotai's face showed a relaxed expression, so he lowered his voice and said: "His Royal Highness King Gui, there is a way to be a peaceful dog rather than a troubled world." According to the old slave's opinion, now that the Tang Army has saved you, he will not make it difficult again, so it would be a good thing to lead the whole family back to China, find a stable land, and live a good life. ”

Hearing Li Guotai's words, Zhu Youlang nodded. He groaned slightly, and then said to Mo Changrong, the chief general on the side: "General Mo, this king has also figured it out, now that Myanmar is in turmoil, there is a huge Kou in the country that has not been destroyed, so this king thought to himself, lead a family to go to overseas places to settle down, I don't know if King Tang will allow it?" ”

After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, Li Guotai exclaimed: "King Gui has suffered such a tribulation, why didn't he return to China and want to go overseas, but why?" Although there are giants in the country that have not been destroyed, the south is basically calm, and it is stable enough, and King Gui's family is enough to live in peace, so why ......"

Zhu Youlang waved his hand to interrupt his words, and then let out a long sigh: "This king has lost his family and country, and he has already lost the face of his ancestors, and he really has no face to return to the country to settle down." What's more, now that Tang Wang has managed the overseas land like a paradise, living overseas will be more stable, so what to worry about. ”

"Very good, King Gui's idea is very good. Now that the overseas is indeed peaceful, and the living conditions are quite good, I will immediately present this request to King Gui and ask him to make arrangements. Mo Changrong replied with a smile.

Subsequently, he ordered someone to take Zhu Youlang's family to rest first, and after Zhu Youlang's neck injury recovered, he first arranged for them to return to China, and then arranged for them to settle overseas by Li Xiao, the king of Tang.

After the Tang army entered the city in a big way, under the leadership of Prime Minister Xi Zhen, it quickly incorporated the remaining 40,000 Burmese troops in the city, and accepted important places such as government offices, major government treasury and armory, and granaries. Then, he immediately issued a notice to take over the security of the city. Due to the rapid action of the Tang army and the strict military discipline of Mingqiu, there was no commotion in the city of Ava, and it was calmed down very smoothly.

After pacifying Ava, Mo Changrong and Zeng Ying's two troops did not dare to rest, so that the two Burmese armies of Uchiyama Yujue and Xizhen were led to the front, and immediately led troops southward and swept the entire southern Burma region.

The Tang army was outnumbered, and with the help of the rest of the Burmese army, the entire southern Burma region basically did not encounter much resistance, and it was basically swept away, and the entire Burma, except for sporadic resistance in remote areas, was basically under the rule of the Tang army.

When the Tang army basically pacified Burma, the family of Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui who returned to the country, was also arranged by Li Xiao, the king of Tang, to settle in Australia, and Li Guotai also followed.

Moreover, considering that Zhu Youlang is now a non-literati and his family's life is very difficult, Li Xiao also sent him 5,000 silver dollars, which can be regarded as his settlement expenses. Li Xiao's arrangement was really a great help to the ill-fated vassal king of the late Ming Dynasty.

The Yongli Emperor, who finally died in real history, finally settled in the Western Australian Province of Australia in this era that Li Xiao traveled through. Zhu Youlang used the money given by Li Xiao to buy a piece of wasteland, and hired a group of local natives as laborers, and since then he has raised cattle here for a living and lived peacefully.

In Myanmar, Li Xiao felt very tricky about how to govern the local area.

Because, unlike those overseas wastelands, the millions of local residents here basically have their own language and writing, and their living habits are very different from those in mainland China.

Li Xiao's two most trusted advisers, Chen Zilong and Jiang Yueguang, respectively put forward two different suggestions to Li Xiao.

Chen Zilong believes that although Burma has subdued, its inhabitants are all foreigners, and their living habits are completely different from those of the mainland, and they have a completely different language and writing.

Jiang Yueguang believes that Myanmar is not easy to get, and land and minerals are also easy, and it may not be a pity to give it to others like this. Therefore, he believed that Burma should be divided into several parts, like the Tusi in Yunnan, and several Tusi tribes that were not subordinate to each other should be established, and then the Tang army would divide the troops to control them, so that they would be loyal to China, and their land and mineral development would be arranged by the Chinese people, so as to achieve stronger control.

It's just that Li Xiao doesn't agree with the opinions of these two cronies praising paintings.
