Chapter 667: Attacking Burma - Shou Zhuo Pubo
On the first day of October on the second day, on the southern outskirts of Ava City, a ceremony was held to officially surrender the Ava army.
Zhu Yuanzhang formulated detailed Ming etiquette norms, which naturally included the surrender ceremony, although it was only used once from the early years of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty - Hongwu accepted the surrender of Xia Mingsheng of Shu in the fourth year.
Of course, Zhu Yang did not dare to compare with the emperor, so he simplified and lowered according to the etiquette on the "Ming Huidian", and held a surrender ceremony.
Early that morning, Mingis Varthius walked out of his barracks, walked to a makeshift platform, knelt down in front of a makeshift platform, and handed the watch to the attendants. The waiter took the sin watch and walked up to the high platform and handed it to Zhu Yang.
Zhu Yang looked at the guilty watch, asked Mingis Vaxiu to walk up to the high platform, first reprimanded him, and then announced his pardon. Mingisvar bowed three times and shouted Chitose.
Zhu Yang was troublesome, so he combined another ceremony with this ceremony, and appointed him as the governor of Ava Province, although it was only a nominal mansion; At the same time, Zhu Yang called Narota to the stage and appointed him as the local prefect of Ringanqiang Province, allowing hereditary inheritance.
Mingisvarsus and Narota knelt down again, chanted Chitose, stood up and bowed a few more times, and got off the high platform. Immediately, the civil and military officials of the Min Domain, headed by He Fu, came to the stage to congratulate Zhu Ying, and Zhu Yang said a few more words to end the surrender ceremony.
Immediately, Zhu asked Mingisvashu to hand over the army to Narota and send home those in the army who were near Ava Province. Zhu Yang chose a large village in the city for Mingis to live in, and his wives and concubines, except for those that had been occupied, were all returned to their original owners. Zhu arranged for several Han soldiers to guard Mingisving's residence and put him under house arrest.
After that, Zhu Yang asked Narota to take the army with him to receive the city of Bagan, but suddenly an unexpected person came to the city of Ava, so he had to postpone his trip.
……
……
"Zhuo Jing, you are not staying in Yongchang, what are you doing in Ava?" Zhu Yang asked.
Zhuo Jing glanced at him angrily and said, "Your Highness is moving the palace to Ava City, what are you doing in Yongchang?" ”
"Why do you have to finish arranging the affairs in the Yongchang area, and then come to Ava City with the people of the Lone Royal Mansion and the civil and military officials of the Min Domain. In addition, although the number of the three guards of Gu was insufficient, there were only more than 10,000 people in total, but there were also 3,000 people left in Yongchang, and the families of these troops and soldiers had to be brought over. Zhu Yang said.
"The minister has already instructed these things before leaving, and the minister has taken into account the humid climate in the southwest, so he ordered the palace guards to move the palace over in November."
"But there is no need for civil and military officials such as ministers to stay in Yongchang, so in addition to temporarily setting up the Yongchang Stay Division to govern there, the ministers have brought the rest of the civil and military officials over." Zhuo Jing said.
"What did you say was set up? Yongchang Stay-at-Home Division? Zhu Yang said in surprise.
"Yes. His Royal Highness came to Ava, but the affairs of the Yongchang Prefectures must be managed locally for a while, so the Yongchang Left-behind Division was set up to temporarily govern Yongchang, Dali and other places. Zhuo Jing said.
"That's fine." Zhu Yang said. In fact, he was a little unhappy that Zhuo Jing set up a yamen without his permission, but the right minister of the vassal state had this power, not to mention that he had handed over all the civil affairs there to Zhuo Jing before, and he was beyond reproach.
"And the minister has also come to inform His Highness of His Majesty's new holy decree." Zhuo Jing said as he took the holy decree and documents from his entourage and handed them to Zhu Yan. Zhu Yang took the decree and document from him, opened it and looked at it.
After a while, Zhu Yang hummed softly: "Ten thousand people are single-minded,......。 Report to the Son of Heaven and save the head of Qian. Kill all the barbarians, find a feudal marquis! ”
He hummed again: "Looking north,......, I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and China wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate." ”
"Obviously, this song is more powerful to serve the country with loyalty, although the tune is a little strange, why not choose this one as a military song?" Zhu Yang said.
"The military generals in Beijing thought that ordinary soldiers would not be interested in this song, so it was only used as one of the military songs." Zhuo Jing said.
"That's right." Zhu Yang was stunned for a moment and said.
He continued to look at the decree and documents, and said, "What flag and emblem are designed?" Don't play the banner in the future? And this national emblem, why are the five-headed dragons entangled? ”
Zhuo Jing couldn't answer these questions, so he could only be silent.
Zhu Yang didn't expect him to answer, and said: "Since Your Majesty has an order, this sun and moon flag will be embroidered according to the pattern in the document, and he will be used instead of the Mingzi flag." ”
"Is this coat of arms embroidered on a hat or helmet? Then embroider the national emblem on the helmets of all the generals. ”
"Your Highness, it seems that this national emblem that Your Majesty wants to make is not embroidered, but made of something, and fastened to a helmet or hat." Zhuo Jing said.
"How can such a small thing engrave all five dragons on it? You can't make any material, right? He was a little confused.
"It seems that he has been alone in the capital for the past three years, and His Majesty has made many changes. Let's go back to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year and see what new things are in Beijing. Zhu Yang said again.
He read all the rest of the decrees and documents, felt that there was nothing worth noting, and consulted with Zhuo Jing about the governance of Ava City, and arranged their residences for a few days.
After these things were arranged, Zhu Yang said to Zhuo Jing: "Zhuo Xiang, since you are here, and Gu is about to take over Bagan City, you will go to Bagan City with Gu, and by the way, take a look at the situation in Bagan City, and appoint who is the official who governs Bagan." ”
Zhuo Jing was also willing to go to Bagan City to have a look, and formulate management methods according to local conditions, so he agreed to Zhu Yang and went to Bagan City with him on the seventh day of October.
However, when he arrived in Bagan, before Zhu Yang had time to take a closer look at his first peacefully received city, he learned a not-so-good news: the Bago people had captured the city of Magway and were besieging Ringanqiang, and it was said that the city of Ringanqiang was about to fall.
Of course, Zhu Yang couldn't allow Ren'anqiang to be defeated by the Bago people, and immediately said to Mu Ang and the others: "We must repel the Bago people, and even recover Magway City." These are places that have been prepared for the settlement of Narota, how can the Bago people occupy them! ”
Mu Ang also agreed with him: "Ringanqiang is the only fortified city south of Bagan City, and the Bago people must not be allowed to take it down. ”
The two of them agreed, and the matter was decided. Because most of the Tusi army was not brought over, Chu Jie was immediately sent to Ava City to gather the Tusi army and march to Ringanqiang City. But in the end, the outcome of this military operation greatly exceeded the expectations of Zhu Yang and Mu Ang.
