Chapter 783: Ma Jixiang Sends Envoy to Burma
Hearing Ma Jixiang's words, there was obviously a bright light in Zhu Youlang's eyes, but it was extinguished again in an instant.
Joining Burma?
Could it be that he has really reached the point where he can only take refuge in a foreign country to survive?
If you don't follow him, what else can you think of?
Zhu Youlang's heart was complicated and uncomfortable, and the expression on his face was indescribably weird.
Ma Jixiang's eyes were blazing, and he continued: "King Gui, now that the Tang army is fighting with the Shadingzhou Department and has not yet arrived in western Yunnan, this period of time is really the last precious time for our army to contact the Burmese king Mangda. If we don't grasp this critical time for the survival of life and death as soon as possible, if we don't immediately start sending people to contact Mangda now, and wait until the Tang army enters western Yunnan and the troops are approaching the city, then we will be completely passive, and there will be no room for maneuver. At that time, it will not be too late to regret it! ”
When Ma Jixiang said this, Zhu Youlang subconsciously clenched his fists.
Grandma's, the situation is stronger than people, if you don't want to be a prisoner of the Tang Army, you really have to start acting immediately as Ma Jixiang said.
Guiwang Zhu Youlang sighed, smashed his thigh hard, and said loudly: "Okay! Martha's words are reasonable! Now that the situation is so pressing, we can only fight hard. According to your words, how about this king send you to Burma to contact the king Mangda? ”
Ma Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed joy on his face, and replied loudly to Zhu Youlang: "Huh! The slave will do it herself! ”
Since then, the secret meeting has ended, and Li Guotai and Ma Jixiang have quietly retired and left.
Seeing Ma Jixiang walking proudly in front and Li Guotai in the back, the hatred in his heart was indescribable.
He knew that Ma Jixiang had moved King Gui by saying that he was here today and put forward a plan to let him flee to Burma as soon as possible, so his weight in King Gui's heart must be much higher than himself.
What's even more hateful is that when he went to Burma this time, he wanted to use a large amount of gold and silver to make friends with the king of Burma, and Ma Jixiang's family would also damage the public and private interests, and take advantage of the convenience of action to wantonly covet the gold and silver treasures handed over to him by King Mogui.
This guy, today's meeting, is a double harvest of status and wealth, how can it not make people jealous.
Hmph, Ma Jixiang, you don't have to be complacent, we will have more battles in the future. Let's be happy for a few days, and when the time comes, let's see who kills the deer!
Li Guotai stared at Ma Jixiang's smug back with hatred, and scolded with hatred in his heart.
Soon, after receiving a large amount of gold and silver money from Zhu Youlang, Ma Jixiang immediately began to act.
He took Zhu Youlang's handwritten letters and seals, and a cart full of gold and silver treasures, together with his younger brother Ma Xiongfei and son-in-law Yang Zai, escorted by 500 personal guards, all the way west, heading to Tengyue.
Of course, these gold and silver treasures, Ma Jixiang himself, has quietly deducted a lot. Such a good opportunity to enrich one's own pocket cannot be easily let go.
A few days later, when he arrived at the boundary of Tengyue's Landa Tusi, Ma Jixiang made his intention clear to the leader of the Tusi. The leader of Na Lan Da Tusi had received the favor of Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, so he took great care of Ma Jixiang and others, and immediately arranged a wine banquet to comfort him.
The next day, when Ma Jixiang and others set off, he sent someone to guide Ma Jixiang and his party to Buling, and at this time, it was not far from the Tongtieguan on the Sino-Burmese border.
Seeing that the border was already in front of him, Ma Jixiang traveled here, and his originally nervous mood was greatly relaxed.
He said to his younger brother Ma Xiongfei and son-in-law Yang Zai with emotion: "Wow! We've made the trek all the way to the border. When the time comes, we will send a message to the Burmese soldiers guarding the pass, presumably they will immediately let me go, and let me wait to go to the city of Ava in Burma to meet the Burmese king Mangda. As long as we can meet Mangda smoothly, our affairs will basically be considered a success. ”
Ma Xiongfei and Yang Zai both nodded again and again. Ma Xiongfei even volunteered: "What my brother said is very true, when I get down to the Tongtie Pass, I will let the younger brother personally inform the Burmese people and welcome my brother and Brother Yang Xian into the Burmese territory." ”
The three of them agreed on an agreement, so they quickly marched all the way to the Tongtie Pass, and finally arrived at this pass after more than an hour. Ma Jixiang sent his younger brother Ma Xiongfei with several guards to go to the Burmese Pass not far from Tongtie Pass to report to him.
Unexpectedly, Ma Xiong flew here, but for some reason, he did not return for a long time.
Seeing that the sun was gradually setting west, Ma Jixiang was quite anxious in his heart, and was about to send his son-in-law Yang Zai to investigate the situation, but at this time, Ma Xiongfei and the others were dejected from the Burmese Pass and returned to the Tongtie Pass on foot.
"Xiongfei, you have been going for a long time, how has this matter of entering Myanmar been done?" Ma Jixiang saw them walking all the way to the front, and immediately asked a loud question.
Ma Xiongfei came to Ma Jixiang, his face was indescribably frustrated and annoyed, he hated and said: "Big brother, don't mention it, the Burmese don't have a good fucking thing!" ”
"What's going on? You can tell me more about it. Ma Jixiang asked anxiously.
"Big brother, I went to Burma Pass, and I wanted to talk with the border guards, but I didn't expect that today, there is a minister in charge from the royal capital of Ava City patrolling the border here. When this man heard of our intentions, he immediately suspected that we were doing something bad and had a different intention, so he tied us up and prepared to be executed. Fortunately, the guide of Na Lan Da Tusi was familiar with two of the Burmese soldiers, so he could talk about it, so he let us go back. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Xiongfei looked hateful: "I hate these Burmese dogs, all of them are poor and crazy things!" After they released us, they took away all our belongings and their mounts, and let us return on foot. What else do you say, if you want to go through Burma to meet their king, you need to be in charge of our officials to bring the letter seal to compare it, and only after passing the verification can you be released? ”
After Ma Xiongfei finished hating, Yang Zai couldn't help but shout: "Hmph! These gang of barbarians dare to make things difficult for my angels, it's really annoying! Uncle Yue, according to the following opinion, it is better to go back for the time being, dispatch a large army, and simply break this small Burmese pass in one fell swoop, so as to solve this hatred. When the time comes, we will be mighty, but I am afraid that their king will still ask to see us. ”
Yang's words made Ma Jixiang shake his head again and again: "Yang Zai, why are you so breathless." We have no grudges against Myanmar, so why should we go on a killing spree because of this small dispute? What's more, now that we are asking for them, Encore has completely messed things up before he sees his king? Isn't it enough for us to have the Tang Army, a life-and-death enemy, but also to add another Burma as an enemy? Your words are too presumptuous. ”
Yang Zai was scolded by Ma Jixiang in person, although he was ashamed, he hung his head and didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, Ma Xiongfei on the side let out a long sigh and interjected: "Brother, according to the younger brother's opinion, if you want to get through the Burmese border now, you still have to talk about the chief official of Myanmar first. This lobbying matter can only be done by asking my brother to come forward and talk with him face-to-face. ”
Ma Jixiang nodded, gritted his teeth again, and said in a deep voice: "That's it!" If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, this trip, you have to go to our family in person. ”
He thought about it, and then said to Ma Xiongfei: "Xiongfei, you have just negotiated hard, and now stay and guard the silver car and the team." I went with Yang Zai to Burmese Pass and meet the tooth changer. ”
"Yes, the younger brother will follow the brother's arrangement."
The arrangement was set, Ma Jixiang and Yang Zai took a large bag of gold and silver goods, accompanied by dozens of guards, and returned to the Burmese Pass.
The group marched forward on horseback and soon arrived at the Burmese Pass.
Before the pass, Ma Jixiang and others dismounted one after another, and some Burmese soldiers came forward to inquire, and Ma Jixiang presented a letter seal to show his intentions. The Burmese soldier took a cursory look at it, and then entered the customs and replied.
Soon, the Burmese soldier came back and said that the minister in charge had agreed to meet them.
Ma Jixiang and others entered the pass under the guidance of the Burmese soldiers. Subsequently, dozens of guards were blocked in the open space in Guanzhong, and only Ma Jixiang and Yang Zai were allowed to go to see the changing tooth Jane.
Seeing that a small minister in charge of the Burmese country had turned into a simple tooth and was so majestic in front of him, Ma Jixiang was very hateful in his heart. But now no matter how angry he is in his heart, he can also do as he pleases, obediently obey orders, and dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction.
When he came to a living room in the gate, the tooth-changing Jane sat on a chair with a proud face, but on the ground, there were no chairs, just two mats hastily laid out.
Seeing the two of them coming, Tooth Changeling nodded and motioned for the two of them to sit on the mat and talk.
Seeing that Jane was so underestimated and humiliated by Jane, Ma Jixiang and Yang Zai were hated in their hearts. There were countless swear words in my heart, but I didn't dare to say them. In the end, the two could only bow their hands and sit obediently.
After sitting down, Ma Jixiang immediately smiled and said: "The head of the tooth change Jane, I am waiting to come this time, I really have something important to go to your country to meet the king of Burma, and I hope that the Lord of the tooth change will make it convenient, let me wait to clear the customs as soon as possible, and I will be grateful to the next cadre." By the way, I have prepared some small gifts here, and I will give them to Tooth Changing Jane here as a gift for meeting. ”
As soon as Ma Jixiang finished speaking, he motioned to his son-in-law Yang Zai on the side and hurriedly sent the gift.
Yang respectfully handed over the large bag of gold and silver property with both hands, and the original indifferent face changed his teeth, reached out to take the gift, and carefully weighed the weight of the bag of gold and silver with his hand before he hummed and put it on the table with satisfaction.
At this time, the original arrogant and indifferent expression has softened a lot, and even a smile appears at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that Jane had accepted the bribe, he changed his face like this, and the whole person looked much closer, Ma Jixiang and the others knew that these belongings had moved this guy who deliberately made things difficult for himself, so the originally nervous heart suddenly relaxed greatly.
"Two envoys of your country, you want to see the king of our country, but what is the matter? Can you tell me about that? Tooth Changeling asked softly with a soft cough.
Ma Jixiang hesitated for a moment, and then immediately replied: "Chief, I am waiting to come this time because I am ordered by King Gui of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to go to Ava City to meet the King of Burma, and ask him to agree, so that King Gui and others can temporarily settle down in Burma. In the future, after the situation in the Ming Kingdom changes, he will return to China. ”
After Ma Jixiang said this, he briefly explained how Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, was persecuted by the Tang army, fled all the way from Kunming to Yongchang, and how he planned to flee from Yongchang to Burma for refuge.
"Changing teeth and Jane, now in my Ming Kingdom, the anti-thief Li Xiao is extremely powerful, and the Tang Army under him is like a wolf and a tiger, wreaking havoc across the country. However, even if he is so powerful, my King Gui is a fierce and powerful grass, and he knows loyal ministers, so he refuses to bend his knees and surrender to serve this thief. It's a pity, Li Xiao is so powerful now, although my King Gui is a loyal and righteous person, it is difficult to support the sky with one hand, and it is difficult to support the dangerous building alone, and it is difficult to compete with this thief. Therefore, he had to temporarily avoid the edge and retreat all the way west. King Gui hopes that he can temporarily sneak into Burma, in order to rejuvenate in the future, reorganize his troops and horses, re-enter Yunnan, and wipe out the giant thief Li Xiao. I, King Gui, have done my best to ask the king of your country for help. I believe that the king of your country will have mercy on our loyalty, and let me stay in your country for the time being, so that I can restore my kingdom in the future. ”
After Ma Jixiang finished his concluding words, his eyes looked at Changing Tooth Jian with burning eyes, and his face was full of expectation.
When Jane heard this, she saw Ma Jixiang and Yang Zai looking so urgent, but she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
Hmph, what loyal ministers, what clear streams are self-promising, but they were forced to hide in Tibet by Li Xiao's Tang army, and they were panicked like a lost dog.
It's a pity that these poor guys finally found it difficult to survive in the Ming Kingdom, so they could only hide in Myanmar to seek refuge. And they are already in such an embarrassed state, but they still want to flaunt themselves like this, which is really ridiculous.
However, after accepting the bribe, Jane didn't want to sarcastically mock him anymore, but also had a mind and wanted to help Ma Jixiang and them.
After all, in his opinion, the current Ma Ji Xiang Yang and the others, as well as the Guiwang Zhu Youlang above them, are actually just a group of fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered for Myanmar.
If they could be allowed to come to Burma, they would surely come with all their belongings. And as soon as they enter Burma, it is not a matter of letting them ......
Thinking of this, the smile on Jane's face suddenly brightened, he pretended to sigh, and said to the two: "What the two envoys said made the official very admired and appreciated in his heart. Thinking that King Gui is a descendant of the Ming Dynasty and a rare loyal minister, our king will definitely appreciate him very much and will definitely agree to his request. In this case, it is better for you to return to Beijing with your official tomorrow and go to the city of Ava to meet the king. In this way, you can also save a lot of twists and turns along the way, and after arriving in Ava, you can be introduced by the official on your behalf, so that you can wait for the convenience of the big line. ”
Hearing that Tooth Changing Jane was willing to go to Ava with him, and was willing to introduce him on his behalf, Ma Ji Xiangton was overjoyed, and his face instantly flushed red.
He immediately bowed his head and thanked him: "Lord Chief, you are really warm-hearted, I am waiting here to thank you!" As the Lord in charge wills, he understands that we will return to Ava with you. If we are able to reach Ava and see the king of your kingdom again, then I will thank you for your kindness, and we should give you another great gift to comfort your toils. ”
