Chapter 226: Thunder Strike

The Mon people are an ancient ethnic group with a population of more than 500,000, accounting for 2.8% of the total population of Myanmar, mainly living in Mon State in southeastern Myanmar, accounting for one-fifth of the population of Mon State. The Mon are the main ethnic group of the Mon-Khmer speaking group that first entered Myanmar from Chinese mainland. It entered Burma around 2000 B.C. and eventually settled in the southeastern part of Lower Burma. They had established the powerful Mon dynasty in Lower Burma. However, because the Mon dynasty was destroyed by the Burmese many times, most of the Mon living in the plains and cities were assimilated by the Burmese, and their customs and habits were basically no different from those of the Burmese. This is a very strange thing, no one knows why so many Chinese ancestors in the mainland would migrate so far at once, not only others did not believe it at first, but even Li Xin himself could not believe it.

This is what happened less than a month after Li Xin served as the envoy of Dongwu, when he first heard the Meng people say that he was an ancestor from the interior of China, Li Xin's big teeth were about to be shocked, but listening to the story of the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors they told, Li Xin felt that it was still a little credible, anyway, these people were also a bit of the legendary Yanhuang bloodline, but what he said next made Li Xin a little interested, it turned out that these Burmese people also migrated down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, They are a minority group that went south during the chaos of the Tang Dynasty, and they belong to a branch of the Qiang people, but they have developed and multiplied here for many years, which makes Li Xin more confident, or want to promote Zhu Youxiao's theory.

It was only Anabulon's younger brother Analong who declared independence, and most of the Burmese did not recognize his independence, after all, the Ming Dynasty's Dongwu Xuanxuan envoy took out Anabilon's seal, but Analong still began to form his army, based on his royal guards, and quickly pulled up 50,000 people, as for weapons and equipment, it was very miserable, except for the original guards with some cold weapons such as knives and guns, the rest of the people only had weapons such as sticks, and the real grass platform team.

Understand the true situation of Meng Bang's announcement of his departure from Dongwu, this matter will be easy to do, Li Xin found Liu Ling, Deng Zilong, and Zhao Rui, and explained these situations, the alliance is not monolithic, there are many conditions that can be used, and their strength is not generally weak, which makes Liu Wei think of the way of special operations, which can use the decapitation method of special forces to carry out lightning speed against Analong, and know the head of independent people headed by Analong, so that they lose the ability to resist.

Liu Wei was born in a family of military attachés, and he is the martial champion of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao has long been Mao Wenlong's special forces combat method in the army, Liu Wei is naturally no stranger to this combat method, he himself received training in this combat method at the Daming Military Academy, and there is such a team under his command, otherwise the palace of Ava City will not be so smoothly won.

After several people discussed the general direction, Liu Wei began to organize the implementation of this action plan, originally Liu Wei was ready to act in person, but was stopped by Deng Zilong and Zhao Rui, isn't this a joke, how can there be such a high-ranking official like this to go to the front line of the battlefield to do such a thing, in case of failure Isn't this a big joke.

The staff officers of the Military Academy began to organize the implementation of this plan, first sending out scouts to follow the Mon personnel back to Mon State, with the help of the cover of the Mon people, to have a careful understanding of the environment where Analong lived, and to draw a clear topographic map, and then to send a special operations team of 50 people to make operational arrangements around this map and formulate a thorough battle plan.

After formulating the plan, Liu Wei led 5,000 men and horses with great fanfare, and announced in a high-profile manner that he was going to Meng State to quell the rebellion, and along the way 5,000 people quickly advanced to the allies, this area was all plains, and the boat along the Irrawaddy River soon reached the southern coastal area, and through the coastal area covered with water networks, the 5,000 army went straight to Mawlamyine, the capital of the alliance.

The special operations team was hidden in the brigade, and in the area dozens of miles away from Mawlamyine, Liu Wei began to rest and recuperate, and the special operations team broke away from the brigade, and quietly entered the city of Mawlamyine under the cover of the Mongols, and quietly surrounded Analong's residence according to the topographic map drawn by the former scout, preparing to carry out the operation at night.

Analong's residence is a large manor, this is a small fortress built by the Portuguese colonists, it seems that Analong is still very good at enjoying, there are really not many manors like this in Dong Wu, not only is it very beautifully built, but it is also very well defended. But this kind of tightness depends on who it is, ordinary people may not be able to enter, for the special operations team that has undergone severe training, this manor is a tight fortress, and the personnel who defend it are a pile of straw bales, just a few gate posts have been set up at the gate, and there are not even patrolling soldiers on the large section of the fort wall except for a few people on the watchtower, I really don't know what this Analong thinks.

The special operations team set up a human ladder from a secluded place and quickly climbed over the fort wall into the manor. There was a group of patrolling soldiers in the courtyard, seven or eight people walking around crookedly, and the roots were not like patrolling, but like they were eating too much food. Eight special operations soldiers were sent to approach covertly, and then jumped up together to assault, these are simple combat movements, in order to familiarize themselves with these fighting skills, the team members have trained hard for several years, and now there is no mistake at all in dealing with these ordinary personnel, just a moment of effort, these patrol personnel were killed by the special combat personnel. Next, these people were left to change into the clothes of these patrol officers and continue to wander around, and the rest of the team continued to go deeper inside, killing the sentries of the two-story courtyard in a row, and entering Analong's back house.

This is a small quadrangle, Analong lives in the main house, which has been scouted, leaving a few outside to watch the door, and then pried open the window and entered Analong's bedroom. When Analong was still at ease in Mengzhou, he was wiped by the special operations soldiers, and the next thing was to clean up the entire courtyard, whether it was his wife, sons, and daughters, all of them were cleaned up, so as not to leave a legacy.

After doing these tasks, the sentries at the gate were still wandering around, not knowing what was happening inside, and the special operations team was too lazy to take care of them, and quickly withdrew from the fort wall, this is the combat principle of the special operations team, try not to carry out senseless battles, it is not easy to train a soldier, and unnecessary casualties are avoided as much as possible, alarming a large number of people may not be able to leave them, but may cause certain casualties, after all, heroes are difficult to defeat with four hands, and it is inevitable that there will be accidents when there are many people.

The special operations team successfully completed the task, Liu Wei's army arrived outside the city of Mawlamyine the next day, the soldiers set up mortars, and bombarded the city for half an hour, in fact, there was no need to shell for so long, even if it was to enter the city directly, there would not be much hindrance, because now Analong is dead, and the city is in chaos. Liu Wei meant not only to enter the city, the purpose of this artillery bombardment was to deter those ordinary generals who still had a sense of resistance, so that they could completely dispel the idea of resisting.

The rebellion of the allies was quickly extinguished by Liu Wei, and the team of 5,000 people basically made an armed parade, and there was no war at all, and the core figure of Analong was lost, and the soldiers who were frightened by the artillery had long since dispersed, and the remnants of the rebellion were nipped to death in the bud. Then Liu Wei quickly returned to Yangon and stationed in Yangon. As for the other two small states that had announced their separation from the Dong Wu Comfort Mission, Chin State and Rakhine State saw that the Mon State, which was much larger than them, had been wiped out in one day, and after hearing the news, they immediately announced the abolition of their independence and sent messengers to deliver letters of allegiance to the Dong Wu Comfort Mission.

After subduing Dongwu, Li Xin's work actually became busier, subjugation is not the goal, the important purpose is to build it, but also to make it really a part of the Daming, this is a long and complicated process, although the Burmese people migrated from the Chinese mainland, but they are not the main ethnic group, only because of the war and forced to migrate, but Li Xin does not publicize this, he said that this migration process is the story of the descendants of Yan Huang to open up the territory, which is also part of the descendants of Yan Huang, Zhu Youxiao's theory was widely publicized by Li Xin here.

These are not enough, but the most fundamental foundation is to let the people here enjoy a prosperous life. At this time, the role of the Ming Royal Trading House was reflected, the caravan led by Liu Laocai had already opened up business here, and all kinds of workshops began to build the city with a large amount of financial support, and the official road from Mandalay to Wan Town was completely repaired in the following time, and a large number of Ming goods were transported over, and then the special products of Dongwu were transported back. Yangon City was built as a shipbuilding base, and a large number of craftsmen entered it by land and sea, and it was completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty a few decades later.
