In the first half of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, except for the bigwigs of the court and the army who were constantly doing things, the entire Ming Dynasty seemed very calm.

Even if Chongzhen encountered a lot of disturbing natural disasters in the first half of the thirteenth year, in fact, it did not form any disgusting situation for the entire Ming Dynasty.

After all, the treasury of the Ming Dynasty and the internal treasury of Emperor Chongzhen have never stopped the pace of purchasing grain, and the grain in the Changping and Reserve warehouses is enough to ensure that the people can survive without harvest.

The only thing that upset Emperor Chongzhen was the drought.

God doesn't rain, and Daming doesn't have the conditions for artificial rainfall, so there is no good way to send officials out to pray for rain.

As for the big pits dug in the past few years, the rain and snow water that have been stored are basically used up in the second year, and there is no hope at all.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, so that Emperor Chongzhen also turns on the irritability mode.

Several concubines in the harem saw that they were about to give birth to babies, and the silver in the treasury was about to bottom out, and there was not much money left in the treasury, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to live honestly in the palace.

At the very least, there is no hope for wanting to lead the troops out to wave a wave of scare.

As for the next Jiangnan or something, Emperor Chongzhen is even less interested.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the ice in the palace is enough, regardless of whether it is the ice that was saved in the winter of Chongzhen's twelfth year or the temporary use of saltpeter to make ice, this thing in the palace has never been missing.

This situation did not end until September of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen.

In addition to Concubine Yuan and Concubine Tian each gave birth to a daughter, Concubine Yi also gave birth to a son, named Zhu Ciyi.

A few babies were lined up, and Empress Zhou wanted to beat Emperor Chongzhen - always staring at the babies in the confinement were rare, and the older ones didn't see you so attentive!

Being glared at by Queen Zhou, Emperor Chongzhen laughed twice and then rubbed his hands, threw down a few babies, and turned to walk towards the babies' mothers.

Their little daughters-in-law have worked hard to give birth to babies, and they have to express their distress.

However, without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to show the style of a good man, Xu Xianchun, who came in a hurry, reported a piece of news that made Emperor Chongzhen happy.

After summoning Wen Tiren and other court bigwigs into the palace again, Emperor Chongzhen asked Xu Xianchun to repeat the news just now.

After Xu Xianchun finished repeating the news, he continued: "Presumably, in a few days, the seal of the king of Burma should go to Honglu Temple." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Let's talk about it, how should a lord of a country like King Talong suddenly go on the table to naturalize the Ming Dynasty?" ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to distribute the information of the Burmese lord Thalung reported by the Jinyi Guardian to Wen Tiren and other ministers.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had already read the information of King Ta Long in advance, thought that there must be some reason why he didn't know that such a big guy like Kaihang suddenly wanted to be naturalized.

In the first year of Chongzhen, Anabilon was seriously ill and was killed in the palace by his son Mirithibo. Upon learning of the murder of his brother, Tarong, who was on his expedition to Shan State, returned to occupy Awa and proclaimed himself king, and then went south to Bago.

Militip, who had become king in Bago, did not have the support of his subjects and was about to flee to Allaqian, but was arrested by his ministers and handed over to Talon, where he was executed for killing his father.

In the second year of Chongzhen, he Long officially ascended the throne in Bagu and reported to the Ming Dynasty, saying that he would ascend the throne as king only as a last resort.

At that time, he was all shit on his shoulder, and Emperor Chongzhen, who didn't know how to wipe it off, was naturally not in the mood to pay attention to the change of the head of a country like Myanmar, so he agreed with a stroke of the pen.

And Talon's operation is obviously a bit of a commotion - in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Tarong ordered a nationwide survey of land and population in Burma.

The contents of the survey and registration include the population of the country, the dwellings, the crops produced, the types and amounts of taxes paid, the names, genders, and ages of the persons in each household.

Obviously, this census of Ta Long was one year earlier than the Ming version of the census that Emperor Chongzhen only played in the twelfth year of Chongzhen.

Even in the face of Siam's constant provocations and attacks, Ta Long, like Emperor Chongzhen, chose to go back, and once forced Lan Natai, a vassal state in northern Siam, to bow down.

After just reading Ta Long's information, Emperor Chongzhen once thought that this guy was also a traverser - it wasn't until he learned some information in Myanmar that Emperor Chongzhen was relieved.

Even the census that Chongzhen played in the eleventh year was recorded on the bay leaf instead of paper, and there was not the slightest sign of the development of firearms, so it is unlikely that he was a traverser.

Even if the local environment in Myanmar does not support the traverser to play these lofty things, there is no sign of the trade with the Ming Dynasty, which in itself shows that there is no relationship with the traverser.

However, it is such a powerful lord of the country, and suddenly he plans to attach it? Turn your own land into the land of the Ming Dynasty, and rely on the capital for the treatment of being a king?

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't make sense!

After all, King Talong is different from the Korean lord Ayayang Jun Li Liang and the lord of Xiaoliuqiu, Shang Feng, those two are purely the bronze in the five scum of the war.

And King Ta Long is likely to have reached the king of the five scum of war, and will soon be able to evolve towards the six scum of war - if King Ta Long Nu works hard and then expands to the periphery after killing Siam, maybe he will evolve.

Of course, from the perspective of Emperor Chongzhen, the bronze in the five scum of war is basically no different from the king, but if you want to evolve into the six scum of war, you are provoking the Ming Dynasty.

Can bullying the five scum be the same as the six scum? Therefore, we must press the five scum to death before they evolve!

Emperor Chongzhen's thinking obviously began to deviate again, but Wen Tiren bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, King Talong is attached, either he admires the Celestial Empire, or he has other plans, but it is still unknown."

The only way to do this is to make the Honglu Temple ready, and at the same time send some more spies in Myanmar to find out the situation in Myanmar. ”

Xu Xianchun pondered and said: "Judging from the news that Jinyiwei got in Burma, King Ta Long has long been attached to him, but he has been hesitating. I just don't know what made him make up his mind so quickly. ”

Emperor Chongzhen set his eyes on Xu Xianchun and said curiously: "The news is reliable? ”

Xu Xianchun nodded and said, "Judging from the news I have received so far, it is like this. The land of Myanmar borders my Ming Dynasty, and the people in the country, the court, the military, and the palace all have Jinyi guards, and they should not be fake, unless these people have problems together. ”

Soon, there was another witness to the authenticity of this news - Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the official school office of the governor of Qincha and Dongchang, also came with the same news.

Cao Huachun's East Factory is obviously not as efficient as Admiral Xu Xianchun's Jinyiwei, or the penetration outside the Ming Dynasty is obviously not as good as Jinyiwei.

After all, the opportunity of Jinyiwei has existed for more than 200 years, and it has never stopped infiltrating the outside world.

The East Factory is obviously weaker, after all, in addition to infiltrating outward, it also has to stare at Jinyiwei......

Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't care about the little between the East and West Factory and Jinyiwei.

Isn't there a saying that there is progress, there is competition, there is progress, and it is correct that there is not one heart between the factory and the guard, if you really hug each other, it will be your turn to be the emperor who can't sleep well.

The information brought by Cao Huachun is basically the same as that brought by Xu Xianchun, and it is all news sent back by secret agents through various channels, proving that King Talong of Burma wants to attach Da Ming.

At this moment, not only Emperor Chongzhen was confused, but even Wen Tiren and other court bigwigs also felt confused.

It's not appropriate to be a good soil emperor, thinking about being a soil king after being attached to the Ming Dynasty? What do you think?

What did Ta Long think, Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren and other bigwigs couldn't figure it out, but King Ta Long himself understood it very well.

Unlike the short-sighted garbage around him, he thinks he has a clearer view of the situation.

Just as the brocade guards of the Ming Dynasty are constantly infiltrating into various countries, the spies of various small countries are also active in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Jin Yiwei and Dongchang also knew this, and even indulged the spies to inquire about the news, intentionally or unintentionally—as long as it didn't involve confidential matters, the news didn't matter at all.

After all, the spies are easy to solve, and if they are killed, they will be killed, but what about those serious businessmen? What about the monks? What about students?

These people, from another point of view, belong to a kind of spies themselves, and they will definitely carry some news to their home country as well.

Therefore, as long as it is not a big deal, the factory guards turn a blind eye to the spies sent to Daming by various small countries.

Unless it involves some confidential matter, such as some technology and literature, and it is found that one is killed, and it is not hesitated to kill one by mistake - no one dares to find a place for these spies anyway.

Not all emperors are called Chongzhen!

It was precisely because of the news that he had returned to Myanmar that he was deeply aware of a very serious problem.

The current Ming Emperor is obviously different from the previous Ming Emperor, and belligerence is one of the most basic and conspicuous signs of Emperor Chongzhen.

If it was before, the big guys could still report that they were lucky, thinking that the Ming Emperor would not attack these very honest vassal states.

In other words, even if he wants to start, he has to have some scruples—such as the hearts of the people and the army, such as the shape of the water and land, such as the Westerners who trade in his own domains.

However, when the events in Luzon and Java appeared, King Talong clearly understood one thing - what the Ming Emperor wanted to do, there was no force in the world that could stop it!

Especially when the emperor is particularly keen on expanding the territory and has the support of the army and the people, it is even more disgusting.

There have been many such emperors in the history of the Central Plains, but no one has ever been able to integrate the military and the people's hearts like the current emperor.

There may be, such as the first emperor of the Great Qin period, but the consequence of the first emperor's excessive conquest was to force the people to rebel, so that the second emperor died in the world.

The people of the Ming Dynasty did not have any intention of opposing the emperor, but they all wanted to join the army to obtain military merits.

Although I don't know why Chongzhen stopped so much in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen and didn't go out to fight, but what if?

In case one day the Ming Emperor suddenly goes crazy and wants to expand his territory, isn't he the best goal?

Unlike other lords around him, a series of actions after he ascended the throne obviously made Myanmar strong.

This also makes it obvious that he is in these feudal kingdoms, like fireflies in the night, so windy, so conspicuous......

In this case, the path in front of you becomes three.

The first way is to continue to develop, kill Siam and other small countries, and then attack before the Ming Dynasty can react, or wait for the Ming Dynasty to attack;

The second way, give up development, get drunk and dream every day, behave mediocrity, how to lose, how to make yourself less conspicuous;

The third way, take the initiative to go to the table, and request to attach Daming.

In his opinion, the first of these three roads is simply a dead end!

No matter how strong Burma is, even if it annexes Siam and other small countries, what can it do? Can it still be stronger than Daming?

Not to mention, just the Mu Wangfu that has been guarding Yunnan for generations can suppress Myanmar up and down, let alone the Ming Emperor!

I'm not stupid, I won't be blind to this!

As for the second way, it is to delay time, so that the Ming Emperor can notice that his time is later.

However, there is no use for eggs, what is the difference between early death and late death? It's all a death anyway!

If he is old now, it doesn't matter, just hold the mentality that he will be flooded after his death.

But he has not yet reached the point of dying old age, and there is a long distance from death, and the bright butcher knife in the hands of Emperor Ming is close in front of him!

The first and second paths are dead ends, and there is only a third path left to choose from!

Rush in advance when the Ming Emperor has not noticed himself first to request the attachment, so that the Ming Emperor has a good impression of himself, and the wealth of future generations has also been preserved, not much better than waiting for death?

The news to the Myanmar envoy in Daming has been sent, and the rest is waiting to see how Daming's side reacts.

If the Ming Emperor agrees to his request for the Hajj, then everything is easy to say; If you don't agree, then you should respond early.

Probably two or three rejections, right? I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty still needs a little face?

As for whether the other scumbag lords can understand the trick, it has nothing to do with them - he is not their father, and he is not obliged to teach them to be obedient!

PS: "Take the warehouse to Daming" is finished, and the blue fire Gatling is finished...... Then take it to the heavens again!
