The clouds cover the clouds and fog in the rainforest, which stretches for thousands of miles, and the canopy blocks the sunlight, making it a daunting darkness that was considered a desperate situation in ancient times. Mountain trails are looming in the rainforest, but people can only see a few dozen or even a few steps away, and beyond that, you can see the unknowable rainforest hinterland. The trail is very narrow, but only two or three people can pass side by side.

For the people who grew up in the Central Plains, the rainforest in Myanmar is too green, the green makes people breathless, so green that people can't breathe, it seems that everything here is green, some are just green, green trees, green grass, green vines, green land, even the air is green, the rain is also green, and even the poisonous snakes and flying insects are also green.

The whole world seems to be a suffocating sea of green!

However, in the narrow path of such a sea of green, there was a procession marching at this time. They were all barbarians in short clothes, armed with rattan cards and short knives and axes, and an elephant team was sandwiched in the middle of the procession, and the elephant riders were armed with spears and leather armor, and the elephants were also hunched with grain, and the horses and mules behind the elephants were also camellied with grain.

When the team passed through a village, the leader of the elephants gave an order, and immediately the group of soldiers immediately rushed to the village, all of them searched the bamboo building like wolves and tigers, in order to find more food, and the leader of the village knelt to the side in fear. Perhaps, in this village, this leader holds the power of life and death of hundreds of people in the village, but in front of this leader of the Meng tribe who leads thousands of soldiers, it is not worth mentioning at all. It's just that he keeps prostrating, hoping to take less food.

"Tell them that we have been recruited by the king to the city of Ava! According to the king's order, the villages along the way must provide food for my army! ”

Bai Shan, who was sitting on the back of the elephant, didn't even glance at the head man on the ground, and then directly ordered the mahout to continue on his way, and this team of thousands of people rushed all the way to Ava City in this dense rainforest, and at the same time, on the land of Burma, hundreds of teams that received orders from King Qin were rushing in the direction of the national capital, and these teams numbered as little as dozens or as many as thousands, and they all received orders from King Qin. For those who accepted the Burmese king's Burmese Duo and Bayeux charms, while accepting the protection of Burma, they also had to accept the conscription of the Burmese king when necessary - to send the strong men of the tribe to accept the command of the Burmese king. A few months ago, the reason why the Burmese king was able to recruit 150,000 soldiers and civilians to resist the attack of Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan was precisely because of the support of local leaders and their reinforcements. This time, it was just another call for reinforcements, which didn't seem to be a big deal for the Burmese monarchs in Ava City.

When reinforcements from all directions rushed to Ava City, no one thought that among these reinforcements, the seemingly mighty ranks were also mixed with some other people, although these people looked no different from the surrounding soldiers in short clothes and shorts, with rattan shields on their backs and steel knives in their hands, but their appearance was somewhat different, but mixed with those people, no one noticed their existence.

Xiao Xinren, who was sitting on the elephant, looked at the dense rainforest around him, his expression became more and more solemn, if it weren't for the help of Baishan, the head of the Meng tribe, and the cangjin into the rainforest, I am afraid that the brothers don't know how many people died in it, even these Meng people who were born here and grew up here, in the past half a month of marching, many people have died.

"How long will it take for us to get to Ava?"

At this time, Xiao Xinren seemed a little anxious, he was worried that after a long time, there would be some variables over there.

"General, it will only take 3 days at most, and after 3 days, we will definitely be able to get to Ava!"

Bai Shan looked at the captain of the Ming army beside him, who looked no different from the Meng people, and said softly.

"The general really doesn't need the help of the ministers at that time?"

There was some doubt in Bai Shan's tone.

A month ago, a merchant of the Ming Kingdom quietly sailed to his cottage, for the merchants of the Ming Kingdom, he did not feel strange, after all, in the past few decades, there are often merchants of the Ming Kingdom to Burma by sea to do business, and there is no shortage of merchants into the cottage, and to his surprise, the merchant is the messenger of the Ming Kingdom, the messenger of the Ming Kingdom once again issued him a golden red card, he once again became the Ming Dynasty of the Great Ancient Thorn Xuan Envoy - a hundred years ago, after Mang Rui defeated his ancestors, The Mon people not only lost the rich land at the mouth of the river, but even had to take refuge in the barren mountains and forests, as for the Great Gula Xuanwei Division, it was just the glory of the Meng people's memory.

The canonization of the Ming envoys made Baishan see an opportunity to revive the Mon people, and even the Ming envoys promised that they would send a fleet to help him recapture the port areas such as Huikeng and Baduma from the Burmese.

In fact, for Bai Shan, even if he does not have this promise, he will also help the Ming Dynasty, and he is happy to see the Ming weaken the Burmese, only in this way will the Mon people have a chance to rise again. It is precisely because of this that he will wholeheartedly help the Ming army, and even lead nearly half of the strong men of the whole clan.

However, unexpectedly, the general beside him, except for the need to go to Ava with his army, does not seem to need his help. Even he had already thought about it, even if it was a thousand dead and wounded, he would help the general and complete their mission. But the other party rejected him again.

"Bai Xuan's consolation envoy, the subordinates and his brothers only need to enter Ava City, and when the time comes, someone will naturally answer!"

When he said this, Xiao Xinren's own tone was a little unsure, who else would pick them up in Ava?

And how do you answer them?

Thinking of this, when Xiao Xinren looked in the direction of Ava City, he looked at the dense rainforest, his brows were slightly locked, and he was inevitably worried about his next move, but despite this, he still refused Bai Shan's help, after all, there are some things that outsiders can't know too much.

When the reinforcements along the way to the direction of Ava City, at this time Ava City does not seem to be affected by the war, merchants are still doing business here, in this Burmese capital, in addition to Burmese merchants, there are some merchants from Yunnan, they call themselves Yunnan merchants, but the number of these merchants is very small, but only a dozen households, and most of them have lived here for decades, after all, this is neither the northern land road town of Bamo, nor the coastal port, the number of Ming merchants is naturally not much. However, although there are not many of them, since the Yongli Dynasty was exiled to Ava, these Ming merchants will always try to give some help to the exiled court.

However, compared with the thousands of people in the exiled court, the rice and grain that these Ming merchants occasionally received was just a drop in the bucket, but for the Yongli monarchs and ministers who sat on the empty mountain, even if it was a drop in the bucket, it could solve the urgent need for a while.

Although the monarchs and ministers of the Yongli court, who were ostensibly placed on the other side of the Avacheng River, were not under house arrest, the brocade guards in the court still guarded the wooden city, in the wooden city, the system of the Ming court was still strong, and even there were traders gathered outside the wooden city every few days, but the road in and out of the wooden city has always been controlled by the Burmese army, and the caravans entering and leaving here need to be checked, but the inspection of Burmese traders is always looser. The inspection of the Ming Merchants is extremely strict, and there is a great fear that Yongli will be secretly taken away by the Ming Shang. In fact, after several failed attempts to ask for the emperor, Li Dingguo also tried to take the emperor away, but the plan was always unsuccessful.

"The reason why King Jin didn't succeed in the first place was because he didn't make detailed preparations and plans in advance, and secondly, because there were too many people involved in the plan!"

Facing the visiting Zhang Fengyang, Li Tianlin said seriously.

"Any rescue operation must be supported by sufficient intelligence, but we can see that when King Jin implemented the rescue plan, he had no intelligence support at all, and he was not fully prepared before, plus he tried to rescue too many people, so it directly led to the failure of the operation!"

"Indeed, it is okay for the King of Jin to march and fight, but if he is in charge of the rescue operation, he is really not good at this."

Zhang Yangfeng looked at Li Tianlin in front of him, a few months ago, the two of them had already connected, and the difference with him was that the army of the military chief was coming to Burma by sea to rescue Jinshang and the imperial court, although the initial mission of the two was different, but now it is completely the same.

Rescuing the emperor is the core of this operation, and if the emperor cannot be rescued, everything is empty talk.

"So, we spent up to half a year preparing in Ava, and now everything is ready and all we need is the east wind!"

Staring at Zhang Yangfeng, the corners of Li Tianlin's lips lifted slightly, and he asked rhetorically.

"How's it going, are you confident about this mission?"

Although Li Tianlin has been in Ava for seven months, he has never had any contact with the imperial court, he is only responsible for intelligence work in Ava City, and as for the liaison with the imperial court, Zhang Yangfeng is in charge. And this rescue operation is also in charge of it.

"At least we can rescue the prince!"

Zhang Yangfeng said seriously.

In their mission, there was never a direct instruction to rescue the imperial court, and their goal was to rescue the emperor, at least the crown prince, as for the hundred officials of the imperial court...... Nothing to do with them.

"Well, try to bring the emperor out, as for the others, ......"

Li Tianlin's eyes drooped and he took a sip of tea.

"It's not that we don't want to rescue, but there is no way, after all, compared to the courtiers, the emperor's safety is the most important!"

Many times, people are always faced with a variety of choices, despite what he says, Li Tianlin can vaguely guess why there is no need to rescue the hundred officials of the imperial court, not that it is not needed, but that there is no need, and more importantly, for Jiangbei, what is needed is the "emperor", not the so-called "imperial court".

"Also, it is Mu Guogong, if it is possible, we must rescue him, after all, in the future, this southwest will not be able to do without the people of this Mu family!"

Then the two discussed the rescue matters, Zhang Yangfeng left Li Tianlin's business, in the streets of Ava, although he is quite conspicuous as a Han person, but no one notices his existence at all, after all, there are also Han merchants in Ava, and there are also Han people who are unwilling to be Manchu slaves and live here, as Zhang Yangfeng of the Han people, no one will notice an ordinary Han person on the street here.

Again, when he drove an ox cart full of grain to this checkpoint, Zhang Yangfeng looked at the checkpoint while smiling and greeting the Burmese soldiers at this checkpoint, after a few months, he and these Burmese soldiers had long become acquaintances, but although they were extremely familiar, those Burmese soldiers still checked his ox cart, although there were only a dozen bags of rice on the ox cart.

When the Burmese soldiers were inspecting the ox cart, Zhang Yangfeng, who noticed that the Burmese soldiers in this checkpoint had increased a lot compared to the past, turned his head and asked the Burmese soldiers on the side,

"Amo, why do I think there are more soldiers here now than in the past?"

"It's not because the army of your Ming people is here, you Ming people are really, isn't it better for the emperor to eat and drink well here? Why do you have to think about bringing them back? ”

Regarding the words of the Burmese soldiers, Zhang Yangfeng just smiled and nodded.

"No, if it weren't for the emperor coming here, I wouldn't be able to get the emperor's spirit."

Like other Ming merchants, Zhang Yangfeng is also quite happy because of the emperor's spirit, after all, for thousands of years, for the Chinese people, the emperor has always been high, and being able to touch the imperial spirit of the Son of Heaven is a glorious thing in itself.

In this regard, those Burmese soldiers had long been surprised, and after a simple inspection, Zhang Yangfeng continued to drive the ox cart to Mucheng.

His eyes looked at the wooden city that was getting closer and closer, and looked at the brocade guards at the wooden city, which was only more than a hundred brocade guards who were the emperor's last personal guards, but they didn't even have weapons in their hands, only a bamboo gun that served as a guard of honor. Soldiers were sent to surround them and force them to drop their weapons, and Zhu Yunjin, the envoy of the government, and Jiang Chengde of the Chinese army were also forced to hang themselves in the process. Even outside the city of Ava, the Jinyi Guards, who had followed by land due to lack of ships, managed to reach this place, but all of them were killed by the Burmese, and only a few of them escaped.

Thinking of the current situation of the imperial court under the fence, Zhang Yangfeng secretly sighed in his heart and thought in his heart.

"I just don't know what they think now......"
