Under the fence, like a prisoner!

Every time he looks at the bamboo wall, thinking about the Burmese soldiers outside the city, Mu Tianbo's mind will have such a sentence, for him as the Duke of Qianguo, once upon a time, the status of the southwest Zhuyi is transcendent, for hundreds of years Mu has guarded Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty, and is a very important figure in the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty.

Back then, even if it was as far away as Siam and Zhenla, the Mu family, as the "General of Zhengnan", only needed to send even a non-qualified family member to hold a letter from the "General Zhengnan", which could not only make its king kneel on the ground, but also in terms of status in the southwest, the status of the Mu family was like that of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, and even surpassed. And today he is under house arrest of the Burmese, and even the Burmese people do not have the slightest respect for him, how can all this not make him feel annoyed, in his opinion, now he even insults the prestige of his ancestors, and how can there be a person like him who has been so humiliated by the "general of Zhengnan" in the past generations.

But even so, he never gave up the opportunity to leave this place to revive the Ming Dynasty. For him, perhaps this is the only fundamental reason that has sustained him until now.

"As long as you can return to Daming, why worry that Daming can't be Zhongxing?"

Thinking of the news he learned from the Ming merchants who were doing business in Ava, Mu Tianbo's mood suddenly became excited. There was even more irrepressible excitement in his expression.

Nandu has been restored!

Zheng Yanping's Northern Expedition was successful! The provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have returned to the bright sun, moon and sky!

For more than ten years, since the martyrdom of Emperor Lie, the rebellion of Shadingzhou, and the forced entry of the Manchu Qing into the southwest, it can be said that this is the only good news that Mu Tianbo has gotten, but this news came too late, if he could have known about it before he avoided Burma last year, why is this so?

But now, seeing hope, every time he thinks of the situation in Jiangnan, his mood is agitated, and he has even said in front of the emperor many times that as long as Zheng Yanping can stabilize Jiangnan, in a few years, the world of the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous.

"At that time, Emperor Gao was based on the southern capital, but in a few years the Northern Expedition was successful, expelling Meng Yuan from the north, today Zheng Yanping's Northern Expedition to recover the south of the Yangtze River, he will be able to Northern Expedition to pacify the Central Plains, recover the Beijing Division, and expel the Manchu Qing outside the Guan!"

It is precisely because he has said this in front of the emperor many times that he can feel that whenever the emperor looks at the country now, the longing in his eyes is longing to leave here. There was finally a glimmer of hope in those eyes, which had no brilliance.

This kind of hope Mu Tianbo is not a stranger, once upon a time he also thought that the Ming Dynasty had gone to the point of no return, but he still secretly vowed to die for the country, and live and die with the Ming Dynasty, without the Ming Emperor, there is still Mu Guogong, Mu Guogong is the Mu Guogong of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to descend to the Qing, after all, the Mu family is favored by the Ming Dynasty, and the ancestor of the Mu family is the righteous son of Emperor Gao. It is with this belief that he will give all his sons to the local Tusi family, which is also his selfish idea, he is the Duke of Mu Guo of the Ming Dynasty, and he needs to live and die with the country, but his son has not yet taken the title, he wants to leave a trace of incense for the Mu family.

But now, the development of the situation is far beyond his expectations, and the once desperate situation has developed in a direction favorable to Yu Daming, and because of this, he who was once desperate to die for his country is also full of hope for the future.

Wish!

For people in a desperate situation, every ray of hope, they will not miss, people in a desperate situation long for hope, even if the hope is slim, but now this hope is real, it can be inspiring.

But while there is hope, the reality of being in a foreign land and being under house arrest is unchangeable.

How can I get out of here now? Back to the Damme?

His brows frowned slightly, and Mu Tianbo, who couldn't see any hope of leaving here, naturally thought of discussing with Deng Kai and others to take the emperor and the prince to escape from here and go to Li Dingguo's camp, but this place is located in the hinterland of Myanmar, even if he escapes from this matter, what can he do?

Can't wait any longer!

From the despair at the beginning, Mu Tianbo, who now sees hope, knows that with the current situation, every time he stays in Myanmar for one more day, the emperor's safety will be in danger, and what if Myanmar colludes with the Qing captives.

"Can't wait any longer, get out of here as soon as possible no matter what!"

Immediately made up his mind in his heart, and then walked towards the simple thatched house where the guard governor Deng Kai lived.

When they first fled into Myanmar and came to Awa, the Burmese forcibly placed these Nanming personnel, regardless of men, women, and children, in the homes of nearby villagers to take care of them. These Nanming people were separated in an instant, their family property was wiped out, and they also lost their personal freedom. It was not until a few months later that the Burmese authorities moved Emperor Yongli and his entourage from the well to the place across the river from the city of Ava, which was originally reached by land people, and built a city with bamboo, in which ten thatched houses were built as the residence of the Yongli Emperor, and other accompanying officials and others built their own houses to live in, and Deng Kai's thatched house was also built by himself and Jinyiwei.

The low thatched houses are no more than a foot high, except for the height of one foot above the ground, the grass roofs are barely inhabited, but for them in a foreign land, there is naturally nothing to complain about, after all, this is the territory of the Burmese people.

Before the people arrived at the grass house, Mu Tianbo smelled a strong smell of herbs, which was a few days ago because the Burmese entered the new rice, and the emperor ordered it to be sent to the poor among the officials, but Ma Jixiang took it privately and then distributed it to his cronies. Deng Kai, who is the governor of the same city, said in the court: "The life and death of the old thief are unknown, and he still wants to be promoted privately? As a result, Ma Jixiang ordered his servants to beat him and cripple his feet. The smell of this herb is obviously the smell of boiling medicine for the treatment of leg injuries.

As soon as he approached the thatched hut, Mu Tianbo heard someone talking in the house, as if someone was visiting Deng Kai. Mu Tianbo, who originally wanted to wait for the person to leave and come again, was just about to turn around, when he vaguely heard the words in the house.

"Deng Dudu, you are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, now, you must make up your mind, if you can't rescue the emperor and the prince from the hands of the Burmese, not to mention, the emperor and the prince are in the hands of the Burmese, and the army can only sit back and watch the court hold it hostage.

Who is this man?

Listening to the words in the room, Mu Tianbo, who had intended to leave, stopped, and this person thought of going with him.

"Zhang Junzheng, it's not that Deng doesn't want to help you, but Deng ......"

Looking at Zhang Yangfeng, Deng Kai, who looked haggard, looked at him seriously, and said in a deep voice after a while.

"Although the handwritten letter you hold is written by the Jin Domain, but it also says that you are the commander of the Loyal and Righteous Army, sent by the envoy of the Ming Jianghuai Scripture, and you are here to welcome back the holy driver, but there is no other evidence, you let Deng Mouyan dare to believe you?"

Looking at the young man in front of him, Deng Kai didn't want to believe this person's identity, but his identity was too bizarre, he actually came from Jiangnan, and he was not sent by Zheng Chenggong, how could this not make people suspicious?

Jianghuai is a strategic envoy!

Hearing this name, Mu Tianbo couldn't help but sigh, as the "general of Zhengnan", the prestige he enjoyed in the southwest was by no means understandable to other officials in the DPRK and China, even if he was sent to the fence now, most Burmese people still respected him very much, and because of this, there will always be some Burmese who take the initiative to provide him with news. Just like the reason why he made up his mind to take the emperor and the prince away at this time, it is precisely because the Burmese are now too busy to take care of themselves, and Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan in the north are waiting for the emperor, and they may wave their troops to the south again at any time to claim back to the imperial court, and in the south, tens of thousands of Daming sailors have occupied hundreds of miles of coastal land in the south, and they are going around to appease the local leaders, and the Daming sailors were sent to Myanmar by the Jianghuai Economic Strategy.

Now, because this news has not been confirmed, he naturally did not report to the emperor, and Deng Kai, who was already recuperating from his injuries at home, naturally has no way of knowing.

Hearing that the person in the room was sent by the Jianghuai Economic Envoy and contacted the Daming Shui Master sent by him in the south, Mu Tianbo hurriedly pushed the door and walked in, looking at Deng Kai who was lying on the bed, his eyes staring at the young man dressed as a Han man beside his bed and asked.

"You said you were sent by the Jianghuai Economic Envoy?"

The reason why Mu Tianbo was so excited was because the Burmese who reported the news made it very clear that the tens of thousands of Great Ming Sailors were sent by the Jianghuai Economic Envoy. Although before this, he had never known when Daming had an additional Jianghuai envoy, but he knew that this should be Zheng Chenggong's official reward, so he still chose to believe the news, after all, the sailor who came over. If it was said that he came by land, he might still doubt the identity of those people, but it was from the sea not far away, except for Da Ming, who would have such a sailor.

As soon as Deng Kai saw Mu Tianbo enter the house, he hurriedly wanted to get up and salute, but Mu Tianbo hurriedly helped him up and said.

"Deng Dudu, you are injured, you don't need to be polite."

Then he looked at Zhang Yangfeng and asked again.

"Are you really sent by the Jianghuai Scripture Envoy?"

He didn't even notice that his tone was a little agitated, and the reason why he was so excited was because the man's arrival confirmed what he had just learned.

"I've seen the Duke of Qianguo below!"

After saluting first, Zhang Yangfeng replied.

"Below is the Ming Jianghuai Jingluo under the command of the loyal and righteous army is Zhang Yangfeng, on the order of Zhu Jingluo, come here to contact the imperial court!"

Again, Zhang Yangfeng introduced his identity to the Mu Guogong in front of him, but for the Yongli Imperial Court, he did not have any tokens to use as evidence. Or there is no certificate given by the imperial court, after all, Zhu Mingzhong is not an official appointed by the imperial court.

"Grandpa, although this person has a handwritten letter from the King of Jin, this Jianghuai scripture is slightly ......"

Although Deng Kai has heard a little about the Jianghuai Economic Envoy, it is limited to "Zheng Yanping's Jianghuai Economic Envoy defeated the 100,000 army of Dasu", and it is limited to this, after all, thousands of miles apart, under the news cutoff, even such news is only known by various gossip, and even if it were not for the Dutch merchants to bring similar news, they would still doubt the authenticity of this news.

In the end, it was the Dutch merchants who did business in Ava, but those Dutch merchants also learned from other merchants in Batavia, and only knew that Zheng Yanping had a very experienced general who defeated the Manchu army of 100,000. As for the general's name and surname, I don't know much about it.

Now when he heard the name Zhu Mingzhong, Mu Tianbo's expression became correct.

Mingzhong, Mingzhong, good name!

Seeing Deng Kai dissuading him from the side, Mu Tianbo immediately spoke up.

"Deng Dudu, since Zhang Junzheng came here thousands of miles away, he naturally obeyed Zhu Jinglue's military orders, although the imperial court and Jianghuai are thousands of miles away, but don't say that Zhu Jinglu is my minister of the Ming Dynasty, even if a righteous man like Zhang Junzheng comes to help me, how can I not believe it?"

While speaking, Mu Tianbo's attitude towards Zhang Yangfeng became even closer, and after carefully inquiring about some things, although he could not determine the identity of the other party, Mu Tianbo was still willing to believe that this person must not be a spy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

"In this way, Zhu Jingliu was originally a general under Zheng Yanping."

After several inquiries, Mu Tianbo finally determined one thing - the person in front of him was very likely to be a person sent by the Jianghuai Economic Envoy, and combined with the news from the south, he was even more convinced of this.

For Mu Tianbo, he may not know that Jiang Zhun is a strategic envoy, but from Zhang Yangfeng's mouth, he can draw a conclusion - the merit is high!

As a general under Zheng Chenggong, Zhu Mingzhong is not his cronies, but in Jiangyin defected to Zheng Chenggong's "outsider", after several bloody battles, for the Ming Dynasty to make great contributions, was named Jiangbei Economic Envoy, even this Jiangbei Economic Envoy, but was only forced by Zheng Chenggong, so that the lone army north expedition Jiangbei, with luck and soldiers with their lives to seize Jiangbei, in the Jianghuai between the world.

Why did Zhu Mingzhong send a large army thousands of miles away to meet him?

At best, he is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, he doesn't want to be controlled by Zheng Chenggong anymore!

“…… Although now the Manchu chieftain led hundreds of thousands of soldiers to threaten Jiangbei, there is a great tendency to go south at any time, but it is also the opponent of my family's strategy, my loyal army with tens of thousands of new soldiers can defeat up to 100,000 elite soldiers, and now after more than a year of training, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, not to mention the blessing of the child, even if Dolgon is reincarnated, how can it be the opponent of the strategy? ”

With a proud expression, he introduced the situation in Jiangnan to Mu Tianbo, and at the same time as Zhang Mu was the envoy of the strategy, Zhang Yangfeng said again.

"Therefore, Jingluo will be sent to the southwest, one is to contact the imperial court, and the other is to welcome back the holy car, thinking that the northern expedition will be planned in the future."

Plan for the future Northern Expedition!

If it were someone else, I was afraid that this would already be a stirring mood, but Mu Tianbo looked at him and asked rhetorically.

"Then I don't know, Zhang Jun is preparing to take us and other monarchs out of this place?"
