Zhu Yang has already decided to move the palace outward. Although it is comfortable to stay in Yongchang, there is no possibility of any development, but it is just guarding the southwest border for Yunxi; Only by moving the ruling center out of the country will there be a future.

And Ava City is the junction of two major rivers, and is located in the central Myanmar Plain, with convenient transportation and developed agriculture, unlike Mengyang, Mubang and other places where Tusi are located are mountains and tropical jungles, which is very suitable for the capital. The second reason why he sent troops to attack Ava instead of attacking Mengyang or Mubang and other places was that places like Mengyang could not be governed if they were defeated, so they could only weaken their strength and then withdraw.

"What are you going to do with the army that the Ava monarch brought back?" Mu Ang asked again.

"Defeat them, but don't wipe them all, the captives are from the nearby Tuzhi Prefecture prefect, release them home; In the vicinity of Ava City, some of them were brought back to Yongchang and Dali to various places, and some of them were incorporated into Ava's right guard. Zhu Yang said.

"In that case, Your Highness, I think you should meet Narota." Mu Ang said.

"What about Rota? The original prince of the Ava Kingdom who was captured? What happened to him? Zhu Yang asked rhetorically. He didn't think there was anything to be paid attention to by the great prince of a country that was almost ready to be declared dead.

"Your Highness, Narota should not be taken lightly. I talked to Meng Yang's Dao Yubin and others, and they were all very jealous and resentful of Narota, and wanted me to order him to be executed immediately. Mu Ang said.

"Oh, that's worth seeing." Zhu said. can make these local officials jealous and resentful, it can be seen that this Narota is very unusual.

After a while, a man in his thirties dressed in brocade walked into the hall where Zhu Yang and Mu Ang were discussing under the custody of two Ming soldiers.

He first looked at Mu Ang, then at Zhu Xuan, and then immediately knelt down towards Zhu Yang and said in a non-standard but understandable Chinese: "Narota, the minister of the defeated country, has seen His Royal Highness the King of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Yan's pupils shrank. A prince who is thousands of miles away from Yunnan can actually recognize the clothes of the Prince of Daming, and can speak fluent Chinese, which is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Get up." Zhu Yang waited for him to stand up and said: "Ava is a small country, repeatedly violating the border of the Ming Dynasty, and alone to support justice, send troops to Ava. When the Celestial Soldiers came to the territory of Ava, you should have been captured, but you dared to resist the Celestial Soldiers, are you guilty? "Political correctness has to be established.

"I, Ava, have never invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty, but have only attacked the land of the Luchuan Tusi." Narota said calmly: "Besides, the great tomorrow will go to the country, and the order of Kuangfu should also be Xiaoyu and my Ava, how can you be punished without teaching?" ……”

Hearing these words, Zhu Yang paid more attention to him. Ordinary captives either show their 'backbone' for various purposes, or grovel and pretend to be crazy and stupid for the sake of life. The representative figure of the former is Sun Hao, Marquis of Wucheng, and the representative figure of the latter is Zhao Ji of Song Huizong and Liu Chan, the queen of Shu Han. Even the deceased princes like Narota are at most different in degree, and there are few who are neither humble nor arrogant.

But Zhu Yang didn't see anything abnormal from him, he spoke like a messenger visiting the Ming Dynasty. This is the most abnormal thing right now.

"I kind of understand why you suggested that I meet you." Zhu Yang said to Mu Ang.

Zhu Yang replied to him a few more words and said: "No matter what, I am the Ming Dynasty and the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and what I do is reasonable. ”

"The prince is still healthy under my Damei these days?" Zhu Yang changed the topic very bluntly and said.

Although Zhu Yang's words seemed to be very humiliating, Narota was relieved: "Zhu Yang also calls me a prince, which means that he has no intention of destroying Ava. He immediately replied: "It is already the great grace of the Ming Dynasty and His Highness that the ministers of the defeated country can save a life, how can they pick and choose again." ”

"You say this, it can be seen that you are still dissatisfied with the treatment that Gu gave you." Zhu Yang said in a loud voice to the two people who were supporting Narota: "What are the negligence of the two of you about Prince Narota? ”

The two immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, there is nothing disrespectful to Prince Narota among your subordinates. ”

"His Royal Highness misunderstood the meaning of the defeated minister, and the minister was not dissatisfied with His Highness's arrangement." Narota also said immediately.

Zhu Yang then pretended to reprimand these two people a few words, and then said a few words to Narota and let him go down.

There was one thing that Narota guessed half right, that is, Zhu Yang had decided to destroy the originally powerful Ava, but he had no intention of destroying their family.

"Your Highness wants to canonize Narota as a Tuzhi Prefecture or Prefecture after defeating the army led by the Ava Monarch Mingisvasu?" Mu Ang said.

Zhu Yang nodded. "In the past few days, I have interrogated the captives, and learned that more than a thousand miles south of Ava, there is another country that is not inferior to Ava in strength."

"We traveled nearly a thousand miles from Yongchang to Awa, and then we went on an expedition of more than a thousand miles to the city of Bago (located near Yangon, Myanmar in later years).

"But you can't just let it go. Even if they knew that it was now the Ming Dynasty's vassal who ruled Ava, they might not come to invade it, so I plan," Zhu Yang said, pointing to a place on a captured map of Ava, "This place is called Ren'anqiang, and it is the southernmost big city controlled by Ava before. Although it seems to us that it is not difficult to fight down, it is already a fortified city for these barbarians. ”

"I plan to set up the Ringan Qiang Prefecture and give the city of Ringan Qiang and the place south of it to Narota, so that he can defend against Bago."

"Aren't you afraid that Narota will turn against the water and unite with the Bago people to attack Ava?" Mu Ang asked.

"From the conversation just now, I can already see that Narota is a smart man. Since he is a smart man, he would not do such a stupid thing. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not decline, and our Min Domain does not fall to the point of being vulnerable, there is no need to worry about Narota backwater. As for decades from now, who knows what will happen at that time? Zhu Yang said.

The two of them have made up their minds, and Zhu Yang is planning to go back and talk to Dao Baifeng - he has been too busy these days, and he has not had time to say affectionate words to Dao Baifeng, and he just happened to have some time today and wanted to go back to accompany her.

But Mu Ang suddenly said again: "Your Highness, I just noticed that Your Highness, the self-title you speak often changes, and it is lonely for a while and mine for a while." His Royal Highness, as the monarch of the Min Domain, should pay attention. ”

"It's not just when I talk to you! Lone doesn't talk to other people like that. I used to mess with you in the past, and I didn't pay attention to what I said. In the future, Lone will also pay attention to you. Zhu Yang said.

"It seems that this is the minister's honor." Mu Ang said exaggeratedly.

"Lone doesn't dare to let you call yourself a minister, you are the commander of the Yunnan Metropolitan Division appointed by His Majesty, not the minister of my Min Domain." Zhu Yang said with a smile.

The two of them laughed again and dispersed.
