The decisive battle was repeatedly delayed, and from late September to early October, the Ming army had not found the main force of Sijia except for the destruction of some military villages.

It turned out that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to solve the problem of Meng Yangsi before Guo Wei gave birth, but it seemed impossible.

He also had to take into account a thorny dilemma: it was possible that Sijia would choose not to fight this battle.

There was still a choice in thinking and acting, he could completely abandon the Mengyang Sizhi Office, as well as the surrounding villages and fields, and avoid the Ming army's troops. In this way, Sijia will lose a lot of wealth and population, but it will definitely save troops; The Ming army was in the mountainous woods, and it was too difficult to catch the Sijia Tusi army.

And the facts are in front of us, if Si Xingfa thinks that there is no chance of winning this battle, there is really only one best tactic: not fighting.

…… At this moment, the Burmese consolation envoy Tatuo Mi Baya sent an envoy to the Ming army camp.

The Burmese Propaganda Division is further away from Yunnan, and the customs seem to be even more different, and Zhu Gaochu can't even pronounce the name of their leader; He couldn't remember the name of the messenger he had sent.

After the army set up camp, Zhu Gaoxu first asked Changshi Qian Xun about some things about Burma.

The Burmese Propaganda Division is also known as the country of Awa because the city of Awa (Mandalay) is located. The rulers of the Ava Kingdom were Zen nobles, who were similar to the natives of the Luchuan region in the past; But the rulers of the Ava state have now embraced the Burmese customs and language.

Zhu Gaoxu received the envoy of Tatuo Mi Po Ye in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After the envoy bowed, he spoke Chinese. Zhu Gaoxu listened attentively, even guessing, and then he probably understood what he said; The Chinese spoken by the envoy was so incomprehensible that Zhu Gaoxu even wondered if he was listening to a foreign language.

The Burmese envoy denounced Si's disrespectful behavior and insisted that Burma proclaimed that the Burmese envoy Tatuo Mi Po Ye recognized the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and would pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year.

At first, Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand what it meant for the Burmese to send an envoy from afar to see him as a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty; And the language is not inaudible. For a while, I heard it in a fog.

Later, the messenger finally finished talking about the flattering, and talked about the actual things......

The messenger presented the written letter, and Zhu Gaoxu understood it even more when he looked at the Chinese characters.

Tatuo Mi Po Ye wrote to the effect that Meng Yangsi was too far away from Middle Earth, and it was inconvenient for the Ming army to crusade and govern; The Burmese Division revered the military force and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and respected it as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, so it was willing to send 100,000 troops to help the Ming army completely defeat the Sijia who did not respect the king.

After the deed was accomplished, the Burmese ambassadors hoped to get all the land west and north of the Greater Jinsha River (Inouwady River), up to the entire Naga Mountain area.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw this, he suddenly realized, what is touting that the Ming Dynasty is the upper state of the Heavenly Empire, it is simply a routine!

He pondered for a moment and quickly replied, "There may be some misunderstanding on the part of the Burmese ambassador. Meng Yang Si is the Xuanwei Division canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and this king never intended to destroy Meng Yang. ”

Diao Tuyu and the military Chinese Wu were all stunned, and they all looked sideways, as if they thought that Zhu Gaoxu had said the wrong thing.

The Burmese envoy was also surprised: "His Royal Highness the King of Han Xingda army has come from afar, what is the matter? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "This king only wants to cure the crime of thinking and practicing the law, and does not want to divide and eliminate the entire Meng Yang Division. ”

The Burmese envoy was at a loss, dazed and embarrassed. Zhu Gaoxu then instructed the officials to take him down to settle down.

As soon as the envoy left, there was an uproar in the big tent of the Chinese army, and everyone was talking about it, and they didn't know why.

Zhu Gaoxu raised his hands, and everyone quieted down a lot one after another. He was silent for a moment and said: "The Si clan is arrogant and arrogant, and I only use 50,000 Yunnan soldiers (claimed) to cut it down. And Myanmar will send 100,000 troops at every turn, if Myanmar has a disobedient heart in the future, what should we do? ”

Only then did everyone understand, and Liu Ying took the lead in exclaiming: "His Royal Highness the King of Han is far-sighted, and he will see what he will see!" ”

It is clear that the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of the 100,000 troops of Burma, but it is another matter to go on an expedition of 100,000 people.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head, looked at Diao Tuyu, who looked pampered and pampered, and the woman who followed him on the battlefield, and said: "Myanmar has ambitions, if Diao Envoy Jun wants to swallow Mengyang alone, you have to think about whether you can win Myanmar." ”

…… However, Si refused to fight, and the matter in front of him still made Zhu Gaoxu helpless.

As the army got closer and closer to the Mengyang Division, Zhu Gaoxu instead ordered the march to be slowed down. He was afraid that he would scare away the thinking and practice method, and then the two armies chased and played hide and seek, and there was still a way to fight this battle?

Since Si didn't seem to want to fight this battle, Zhu Gaoxu thought hard and came up with a way not to fight.

The only way not to fight is to negotiate peace.

In such a mountainous and forested area, fighting a war is really a fire, and it seems that the only way to talk while fighting is to do so.

Things often do not go as expected, justice and revenge are often not so vigorous, and the world is always gray and difficult to distinguish between black and white.

Zhu Gaoxu held back the fire in his heart...... But after weighing the pros and cons, I still decided to swallow that evil breath! Those who know the times are handsome and choose to compromise.

He wrote a letter in his own hand, and sent an envoy to Mengyang Division to negotiate with a white flag.

Zhu Gaoxu's method is to leave the Burmese envoy first; Then wait for the envoy of Meng Yangsi to arrive, just like the Yang clan in the pit of the Han Wangfu, and ask the people of Meng Yangsi to listen to the ambitions of Burma. Then ask the people of Meng Yangsi to read the letters of the Burmese consolation envoy...... So that Si Xingfa understands that the wolves who want to eat his flesh are not only the Ming court.

…… When Si Xingfa understands his situation, Zhu Gaoxu is ready, and at that time he will put forward a condition that everyone can accept.

The responsibility for the slaughter of the jade mine was all put on a certain general of the Si family, and he told Si Xingfa to see which people were not pleasing to the eye, so he would arrest a group of people and put them to death. Then he instigated the law to write a letter to ask for the crime, and the crime was to protect the shortcomings and refuse to hand over the offender.

The official office and population of the Mengyang Division moved west to the west of the Dajinsha River, and Sixingfa was still the leader of the Mengyang Division; Meng Yangsi also had to give up the territory where the jade pit was located and hand it over to the Diao clan and the Ming army to jointly govern.

Yunnan will also make compensation, and the method is: the previous 800 taels of silver per year profit sharing treaty is still valid; The Ming army retreated, and the two sides repaired.

Zhu Gaoxu crackled the abacus in his stomach, feeling that this condition and each other should be reluctantly accepted...... The people of the Ming army were rudely slaughtered in the mine, forget it, shouldn't the Si family make some concessions?

And as long as Sixingfa accepts this condition, it is more cost-effective than his strategy of passively avoiding the Ming army's attack, at least he doesn't have to run anymore...... As a result, the property and population near the city of Sijia no longer had to worry about being looted by the Ming army.
