The Ming army approached Ava less than a hundred miles!

The sudden news only plunged the entire city of Ava into an unprecedented panic, and the capital of Burma was suddenly plunged into chaos, and many officials and their families fled by boat to the south.

The reason for this is because at this time, the main force of the Burmese army resisted the tens of thousands of Ming troops led by Bai Wenxuan in the north one way, and the other road was led by Mang Bai to the south to resist the northward movement of the Ming army. As a result, the entire city of Ava was defended by more than 10,000 Burmese troops.

"What can I do?"

In any case, he did not expect that Li Dingguo did not take the waterway as in the past, but led the army through the mountains and forests in northern Myanmar that had not been penetrated for thousands of years, and drove all the way to Ava, which only made his original plan to resist his attack in the north of Ava with the advantage of the river, completely come to naught.

"The king, the only way to do this is to make him retreat."

Minister Ping Deda said on the side.

"Only if Emperor Naming gives an order again, will they retreat."

Since Emperor Ming avoided Burma, Li Dingguo and Bai Wen chose to either individually or jointly, approaching Ava several times and demanding that Emperor Yongli be handed over to them, and several times they relied on Yongli's edicts to withdraw their troops. Now I'm afraid that only Emperor Ming's Yu can save them.

As soon as the words of the state minister fell, Lu Dao (Privy Council) Hei Lu Nag, who had been silent, snorted coldly on the side.

"This plan has been used several times, and now that it is used again, how can the Ming army believe it?"

Since Yongli avoided Burma, Burma has induced Yongli to use the edict to force the Ming army to withdraw. A few months later, when the Ming army returned, the Burmese king repeated his old tricks and forced the Yongli Emperor to issue an edict to withdraw from the army. On July 1 last year, Bai Wenxuan came to meet him again, and the Burmese once again took out an edict from the Yongli Emperor to ask the Ming army to withdraw from the army. This time, Bai Wenxuan swore not to obey the edict and led the army to attack. The Burmese resorted to another trick and lied to Bai Wenxuan that they would send Emperor Yongli and his party three days later. Bai Wenxuan thought that the Burmese army had been defeated repeatedly, and he would not dare to lie, so in order to show his sincerity, he retreated for ten miles and waited. As a result, the Burmese strengthened the city defense of Ava in these three days, and after three days, Bai Wenxuan did not see the Burmese fulfill the contract, so he knew that he had been deceived. When the city was attacked again, it was defeated and had to withdraw.

Since Bai Wenxuan couldn't be allowed to withdraw from the army last time, let alone this time?

"So, so what?"

Looking at the panicked king, the heart of this nephew Hei Lu Na was full of contempt, in Burma Lu Shou is equivalent to the Privy Council, as early as the beginning of the Gongbang Dynasty, Lu Dao changed the system of the king to control the power, but at that time the power was assigned to the Privy Council composed of four princes, that is, Lu Dao, who dealt with state affairs with the king. This system is still in place today, but it is now not only the princes but also the leaders of the Shan, Mon and several Burmese tribes, although they ostensibly enjoy power within the Ludaw. But in fact, Mang Yinglong introduced them into the Privy Council back then, but it was only to appease people's hearts, and the leaders of the Shan, Mon and several Burmese tribes could not have been in Awa City in peacetime, or even for decades, so this Privy Council is still the Privy Council of the Burmese people.

However, this has also led to the inability of the Privy Council to change the situation of controlling power, which is probably the reason why the ancestor Mang Yinglong reformed the Privy Council, so most of the time, because the ministers of Lu Dao could not gather, Hei Lu Na naturally became an ornament.

"Or, otherwise, we will return the Ming Emperor to the Ming army?"

In the eyes of these Burmese people, even if they handed over the emperor, they still could not get guarantees from the Ming army, and the emperor and Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others would be willing to leave Burma, even if they were willing, they might not be able to do it, after all, as we all know, now the Qing army has occupied Yunnan. There is no way to get those people out of Myanmar.

In the midst of everyone's opposition and controversy, there was no argument at all, and in the end only a conclusion was made, strengthening the city defense of Ava, and at the same time strengthening the "protection" of the Ming Emperor and the Ming court, of course, they did not forget to transfer troops back from the north to strengthen Ava's defense.

It's just that when the Burmese army sent thousands of people to protect the walled city where the Ming court lived, they didn't know that at this time, the Yongli Emperor and the crown prince had already left this place half a month ago, and in this humble walled city, there were only queens, palace concubines and court officials.

"Grandpa Mu, my Grandpa Mu, you say, you say, now, how can it be good now?"

Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Mianyi Guard, looked at Mu Tianbo, who was playing chess with Deng Kai there, and his face was full of panic.

The emperor is gone!

This was completely unexpected, although Mu Tianbo had planned this with several other people a few months ago, but he stopped it, and those internal officials were also punished, but now, the emperor finally left here with the crown prince, and even the queen mother and queen were lost here.

"Why is Commander Ma so alarmed?"

Mu Tianbo, who was playing chess, didn't even lift it, he just looked at the chessboard, as if everything else was nothing more important than playing chess.

"Grandpa Mu, this, this village outside the Burmese soldiers gathered, there is a big look of breaking in at any time, if the Burmese break in, then the queen mother, the queen and the public security of the court and the central government how to protect it? Xiaguan, Xiaguan is also worried! That's why I begged Grandpa Mu for an idea. ”

At this time, Ma Jixiang's expression was completely devoid of the past domineering, and his tone was full of flattery. He would never have been like that with someone else, but right now, he had no choice at all.

The emperor is gone!

This means that he Ma Jixiang has lost his last backer, even if he is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but now this Jinyi Guard is all bare-handed and defenseless.

What's more important is that when the emperor is gone, the only one who can make the Burmese people cast a rat bogey is the Grandpa Mu in front of him, and even the emperor is here, he has to rely on Grandpa Mu to maintain it, so that the Burmese people can cast a rat bogey.

As early as half a month ago, after learning that the emperor was leaving, what Ma Jixiang thought of was blocking the news, although he was annoyed by Mu Tianbo's bold and reckless behavior, he actually teamed up with Deng Kai and outsiders to hand over the emperor and the prince to others, but knowing that after the emperor was not there, the life of the big guy could only depend on Mu Tianbo, and he still expressed his "understanding".

It is understandable that he was trying to survive, and now he is looking for Mu Tianbo, and he is also trying to survive!

"If the Burmese break in and want to kill me, then this duke can only serve the court with death, and the commander of Ma, as the commander of the Jinyi guard, will be favored by the emperor, and he will definitely repay him with death in the future!"

And Deng Kai, the chief soldier of the guard who was playing chess with him on the side, said with a smile.

"What Grandpa Mu said is very true, when the time comes, we will wait for the courtiers, and we will only repay you with death!"

There is no other choice!

Maybe Mu Tianbo can choose so, but for Ma Jixiang, whenever there is a slight possibility of survival, he has to fight for it, and then, he immediately went to see the Queen Mother. In his opinion, I am afraid that only the Empress Dowager's decree can let Mu Tianbo communicate with the Burmese people to protect the safety of everyone.

When Ma Jixiang went to lobby the Queen Mother, not far from the walled city, a person looked directly at the walled city, his eyes changed from time to time, he first shook his head, and then sighed, the expression was quite complicated, and finally he sighed helplessly, and then said to the people around him.

"Let's do it tonight!"

Beside him stood a Burmese man with a slight smile in his triangular eyes.

"You just have to rest assured, since I have taken your money, this incident will be done for you beautifully!"

When he said this, he even took a special look at the gentleman beside him, although he was wearing a bamboo hat on his head, but the shaved sideburns clearly showed that he had shaved his hair.

"If you do this well, you will be a great achievement, and when the time comes, naturally the court will not forget you!"

The imperial court is that imperial court?

I am afraid that only the man who uttered this sentence will know, and after saying this, the man turned and walked towards the bank of the river, and said again as he was leaving.

"Another 100,000 taels of silver will be delivered to your house in the evening."

100,000 taels of silver!

When he heard this, the triangular eyes of the Burmese man suddenly showed greed, and his breathing even became rapid, so that when the whole person stared at the walled city, only a poisonous snake was revealed in that gaze.

At this time, there were other things in his mind, and nothing was more important to him than the silver. But despite this, he snorted and finally sneered.

"It's better to let someone else do it......"

Looking at the man who had already left, he sneered to himself.

"If you have the surname Wu, you can borrow a knife to kill people, do you think that I won't borrow a knife to kill people?"

At once he had said this, he gestured to the servant in the distance, and when the servant had come, he whispered a remonstrance, and then, after the servant had left, he looked at the walled city and muttered to himself.

"This matter, do you want to blame or blame you Ming people for burning, killing and looting in my Burma, how can the people of Burma not avenge their families......"

That night, when the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who were floating in a foreign land in this walled city had just fallen asleep, hundreds of Burmese people with knives and guns swarmed into the walled city, and then shouted and wantonly slashed and killed in this walled city......
