Black smoke rises!

The black smoke rolled between the heavens and the earth, completely obscuring the blue sky and white clouds, and even the towering stupa would have burned there, and it was almost unimaginable for the local natives who worshiped the Buddha that the stupa would have been burned, but now the stupa has also been burned. The Buddha in the pagoda also seemed to close his eyes, and the city of Ava, which was known as the center of ten thousand Buddhas, had completely turned into a ghost domain at this time. As for the natives who once lived here, most of them have disappeared by this time.

The legendary city of ten thousand Buddhas was completely wiped off the map last night, and the capital of Myanmar, surrounded by rivers, was now left with crumbling rubble. And in this piece of rubble, the Burmese who had not known how to hide there came out, they were all black, like the lonely ghosts walking, they were all desperate to stand in the rubble, the yellow monk's robes on their bodies were undoubtedly to show people their identity, they were monks.

If they weren't monks, maybe they would have died in the rebellion last night. At this time, these monks looked like dead people, they just stood there in despair, looking at everything around them in a dazed and desperate way, even if the army kept passing by them, they only raised their eyelids, and then stood there.

The city of Ava has been reduced to ruins!

All the people are dead!

When Li Dingguo led the army to the outside of Ava City overnight, the first thing he saw across the river was such a hellish scene, for him who had been marching and fighting for decades, he was no stranger to all this in front of him.

Ava City is gone!

The people here have disappeared without a trace, in fact, the people have not disappeared, even if the night has passed, but you can still see floating corpses crowded on the river, and those corpses are floating on the river, and the capital of Myanmar has disappeared.

You don't even need to give orders. After entering the city of Ava by boat, all the soldiers who came ashore slowly stopped, although they had vowed to leave the city of Ava without any grass, but they did not expect that the city of Ava would be wiped out of the world without even their hands.

Yesterday, just as they were preparing to take Ava, a messenger came from there to report that the night before yesterday, the Burmese had treacherously broken into the walled city where the imperial court was located, and arbitrarily slashed and killed the princes of the court. So everyone immediately hurried their horses and marched a hundred miles overnight, although everyone knew that perhaps it was too late to arrive here, and perhaps the imperial court would cease to exist.

Just as they were about to vent their hatred on these Burmese, who would have thought that when Li Dingguo led the army here, they would only see a rubble field turned into ruins.

What they see is nothing more than a slaughterhouse!

"What the hell is going on?"

Although he was no stranger to this scene, Li Dingguo's eyes were still red with anxiety at this time, and he immediately grabbed the nearest scout and asked loudly,

"What the hell is going on here? Where is the imperial court? ”

The life or death of the Burmese has nothing to do with him, he only cares about the safety of the court, maybe the emperor and the crown prince have left here, but the princes of the court are still here, and the queen mother and queen are still here. But now, all this in front of him completely subverted his thoughts, what the hell is going on?

The city of Ava is gone!

The Burmese here have almost all been killed.

But what about the imperial court?

"King of Jin, King of Jin, Pingyang Hou sent someone, Pingyang Hou sent someone......"

At this moment, a sudden shout made Li Dingguo hurriedly walk in the direction where the voice came from. The Marquis of Pingyang was the vanguard he sent to rescue the imperial court, and they arrived in Ava a few hours before him. As soon as he saw the person sent by the Marquis of Pingyang, Li Dingguo asked urgently.

"Where is the court? Where is Mu Guogong? ”

It wasn't until he learned that Mu Guogong was still alive that Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, and he knew that if Mu Guogong, the general of Zhengnan, died, he would probably not be able to get the support of those Tusi anymore.

The same ruins, on the other side of the city of Ava, are different from the other side, but beyond this ruin, there are hundreds of native soldiers, who are they?

After getting closer, Li Dingguo's talented subordinates learned that these native soldiers were native soldiers of the Meng tribe and were sent by the leaders of the Meng tribe to protect the imperial court. When they saw the arrival of the Ming army of Li Dingguo and his party, they immediately moved out of the way.

The personal soldiers around Li Dingguo hurriedly followed on foot, and then guarded both sides of Li Dingguo's side, pressing the hilt of the knife with their hands, and were fully guarded to prevent assassins from suddenly attacking among these native soldiers.

But he was obviously too worried, when these soldiers saw the Ming army, their faces were full of awe, and they dared to have the slightest intention of making trouble.

When he entered the center of the walled city, Li Dingguo saw Mu Guogong sitting there with a meteor hammer in his hand, he was sitting in front of the floor, and most of the people near the ruins were women, only a few internal officials and officials, and even Jinyi Wei couldn't see a few people.

When they saw Li Dingguo and his entourage, they all cried loudly.

But Mu Tianbo ignored Li Dingguo's arrival at all, let alone got up, just glanced at him, and then continued to look at the ruins in a daze, as if if he could turn back time if he continued to look.

"Grandpa Mu, this, what's going on?"

Walking to Mu Tianbo's side, Li Dingguo listened to the miserable cries around him and immediately asked.

"The night before yesterday, hundreds of Burmese people broke into the village without a sound, it was a slashing and killing, when I first entered Burma, I had been ordered by the emperor to abandon the weapon, so everyone was defenseless, in the face of the Burmese killing, had to fight with bare hands, at that time the prince could only desperately protect the safety of the palace......"

At this time, Mu Tianbo's expression was sluggish, and the whole person seemed a little sunk, his eyes looked into the distance, and his tone seemed extremely calm.

Looking at Mu Guogong sitting there, Li Dingguo noticed that his body was covered in blood, and the pair of ancestral meteor hammers were also covered in blood.

"Later, fortunately, the leader of the Meng people, Baishan, led the troops to come to the rescue, and we waited for the party to be saved, but it is a pity that the princes of the court and the central government died tragically under the knife of the Burmese......

When mentioning the tragic death of the princes of the DPRK and China, Mu Tianbo's tone was quite calm, but there was no slightest wave, and when Li Dingguo heard these words, his eyebrows raised slightly, but he didn't ask anything more, and even at this moment, he felt a sense of relief.

Once upon a time, even in the face of the situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the army and the country in danger, the Ming court was still in the predicament of "unable to achieve unity and coordination between the civil and military", so that even he himself had to leave the court far away, regardless of the government, and the ministers were also in the same predicament on how to act as the emperor's assistant.

Now, when he heard that all the ministers of the court and China had been killed by the Burmese, he inevitably felt a sense of relief. However, the reason why this feeling is born is because the emperor is not here. At least the emperor is safe, as for the ministers of the court...... Hey, it's all providential.

Yes, the will of God is so, it's not that he Li Dingguo doesn't want to save it, but that the will of God is like this!

"Is the middle palace safe?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Dingguo finally let go of a trace of worry in his heart, and it was not until this time that he asked.

"What about Ava City? How could it be like this? ”

When Li Dingguo mentioned this, he saw Mu Tianbo immediately say sharply.

"How could it be like this? That reckless snake and rat at both ends, as my Ming Dynasty local official, but he did not hesitate to kill my Ming Dynasty princes, not killing them can vent the hatred of the duke, if not destroy this city, how to make it learn a lesson! ”

In fact, all this has nothing to do with Mu Tianbo, after all, it was Baishan who led the troops to destroy Ava City, the Mon people were severely damaged by the Burmese people, and their city was destroyed by the Burmese people, and the tribesmen had to flee into the deep mountains and rainforests to survive, and because of this, Baishan would set fire to Ava City, and as for Duan Shan, the leader of the Shan people who burned Ava with him, it was to provoke the native soldiers.

A one-sided killing inevitably played out in Ava City, all of which was of course not led by Mu Tianbo, but this did not prevent him from choosing to acquiesce, and even deep down, he was also eager for revenge, revenge on those treacherous Burmese.

And in this process, Mu Tianbo is just guarding the middle palace here, for him, the fate of this Ava City has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care about the life or death of those Burmese people at all, and the life and death of the natives have nothing to do with him. All he needed was to guard the Middle Palace. After learning that the combined forces of the Meng and Shan tribes burned down the city of Ava, he changed from the initial acquiescence to support, he knew very well the temperament of those natives, if the Ming did not retaliate against the Burmese disrespect to the imperial court, at that time, even if the Ming restored the country, the southwest is bound to have no peace.

Even if there is not a single soldier, Mu Tianbo still chooses to put all this on him for the behavior of the Meng and Shan coalition forces, after all, as a general of Zhengnan, in addition to mobilizing the Ming army, he can also mobilize native soldiers, and he must let the outside world know that this Ava City was destroyed by his general Zhengnan. Only in this way can we deter the small crumbs, and can the southwest Zhuyi once again be intimidated by the thunderous wrath of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in terms of selfishness, he also hopes to rebuild the Mu family and rebuild the prestige of General Zhengnan. That's why he said this, he wanted to use this way to tell others that General Zhengnan's prestige was still there.

"Guogong, are you saying that the Meng and Shan clans have joined forces? How did they join forces? ”

How did they join forces?

This has nothing to do with Mu Tianbo, and even has nothing to do with Qu Dajun, although he has successfully awarded the Meng people a golden red card and awarded him the post of consolation envoy, so that he can return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but the reason why the Shan people will join forces with him is completely Baishan alone, in order to persuade the Shan people to help him, he even promised that all the gains from the robbery of the city will go to the Shan people, and the Meng people will not take the slightest. For Bai Shan, the head of the Meng tribe, he knows very well what he wants, he needs the Meng people to get out of the mountains, and he needs to rebuild the prestige of the Meng people, and because of this, he needs the help of the Ming Dynasty, and because of this, he will decide to seize the opportunity, originally he was going to take advantage of the Ming army to fight under the city of Ava, and the Ming army should join forces to capture Ava, but before Xiao Xinren left Ava, he had instructed him to protect the Duke of Mu and the imperial court, so that he sent troops to rescue the night before, but this also exposed the fact that he had fallen to the Ming Kingdom, So there was the next action to directly seize Ava City.

After listening to Mu Tianbo's explanation, Li Dingguo nodded silently, he had been marching and fighting for so many years, he was no stranger to all this, and he asked about it later.

"Then, Grandpa Mu, where is Pingyang Hou now?"

"The Marquis of Pingyang is all cavalry, and now he is pursuing Mangda, if he is not given the head, how can he vent the hatred in his heart! How can I calm the wrath of the thunder of my ......"

Thunder's Fury!

Looking at the black smoke billowing Ava City, Li Tianlin, who was wearing a bamboo hat, was silent, his eyes were just looking at the city, the "City of Ten Thousand Buddhas" had disappeared once upon a time, and even now, the scene full of sins still appeared in his mind.

"That's the price!"

Looking at the corpses floating in the river, Li Tianlin said to himself, just like in China, every time there is a change of dynasty, there is always a heavy price, and this time, in Myanmar, the same is true, maybe this is also the price of changing the dynasty!

"In the future, the people here will finally be able to live a stable life......

Li Tianlin laughed at himself, there was always some helplessness in his expression, if he had a choice, all this could have been avoided, but there was no choice, there were some things that always needed to be done.

"After the chaos, there will be great governance, and after Ava is burned, these Burmese should be able to wake up to it!"

Muttering to himself, Li Tianlin, who was standing in the bow of the ship, looked ahead, he was going to go to Bamo from here, and then to Kunming, now that Ava had been burned, as a businessman in Burma, it was time for him to "return" to Kunming.

Kunming!

He had never been to Kunming, but that didn't stop him from looking forward to it, but maybe it would be more dangerous than Ava. However, since you can gain a foothold in Ava, there is no problem in Kunming.

Thinking of his experience in Myanmar these days, as well as the process of befriending those Burmese people, and thinking that those people are also unknown in life and death now, he can't help but feel a little guilty, and when this thought came up, Li Tianlin suddenly smiled, with some helplessness in that smile.

"Hey...... It was just an accident! ”

Just an accident!

If it wasn't for the sake of completing the task, how could it be so, and if you knew it, blame it...... Blame that reckless white!

Reckless white!

Thinking of Mangbai, whose whereabouts are unknown now, Li Tianlin's brows are tightly locked, he knows that if he can't catch Mangbai, I'm afraid he doesn't know how many troubles will be left......
