Chapter 670: Attacking Burma - Killing
At this time, Zhuo Jing walked in from outside, he couldn't understand Thai and Yi, but he could understand Chinese, although everyone was still a little restrained because of Zhu Yang's presence, but it was still too dirty for Zhuo Jing.
Zhuo Jing said loudly: "What are you doing here! If a captive speaks disrespectfully, he can be killed, how can he speak like this! Besides, this captive doesn't understand what you're saying. ”
When everyone heard Zhuo Jing's voice, they immediately stopped talking, and Zhu Yang was the same.
Zhuo Jing reprimanded a few more words and asked, "What did the captives confess to make you abuse like this?" ”
"Zhuo Xiang, the people who attacked our army were the local rebel people in Bago, and they mistakenly thought that we were reinforcements from the Bago government." Chu Jie said. He has replaced the previous use of 'uprising' with 'rebellion'.
Zhuo Jing also felt very inexplicable: "Our army is so different from the army of the Bago people, and it is completely different from the army of the Ava people, how can these rebellious people mistakenly think that we are reinforcements from the Bago government." ”
But for some reason, they couldn't ask, and the captives were all told that the reinforcements from the Bagu Government came over, and they didn't know anything else, and Wang Yong didn't ask anything after they were tortured several times.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is what the Ming army does next.
"Your Highness, General Mu, Prime Minister You, you can't retreat like this! How could my Ming army flee back after being attacked by a sneak attack! Chu Jie said.
At this time, the Ming army was of course bragging when it said that it was invincible, but the soldiers and generals were full of confidence in their own army and despised all the barbarian armies around them, including the Mongol soldiers.
For them, it was a great shame to be attacked by these barbarian civilians who were not even soldiers, and the desire of ordinary soldiers to fight was very strong, not to mention the generals.
"Yes, Your Highness, Right Minister, how can I go back like this! We must teach these Burmese people who dare to sneak attack us a lesson, and tell them that the army of the Ming Dynasty cannot be humiliated! The other generals said.
Zhuo Jing originally wanted to say: These Bagu Burmese people do not know that our army is the army of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not mean to insult the Ming army; But when he looked at these very excited generals, he couldn't speak.
Although Zhu Yang was a little hesitant, he also knew that he could not refute the generals' desire for war at this time.
He remembered that when he was in Beijing, he heard Yunxi tell a small story: in a certain dynasty before the Ming Dynasty, a soldier was very brave to kill the enemy, hit in front of the enemy commander, was kicked by the enemy commander and vomited blood, he was angry and picked up a stone to kill the enemy commander, but his commander stopped the soldier in order to pacify the place after the war. After that, the soldier would never fight again on the battlefield.
Of course, Zhu Yang didn't know that this story was seen by Yun Xi from the 83 version of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his previous life, and it was not a real thing, but he also thought that this story was very reasonable. The morale is incredible, this time it stopped them from seeking war, where will they fight bravely in the future?
"Nagu ordered revenge on the local Burmese rebels, and let them know that they can't offend Daming! They had to send someone to capture a few Bago Mon and let them lead the way against the local Burmese; Narota, you have a lot of dealings with the Bago Mon people, and there are many people under you who understand the Mon language, so this matter will be handed over to you. Zhu Yang said.
Narota bowed down and took the command.
When the news reached the toast who came with Zhu Yang, there was a burst of cheers. With the gunpowder weapons of the Ming Dynasty, there is no unbreakable walled city, and they can grab a lot of property!
"Ah Lang, in the end, we still have to fight in the local area." Dao Baifeng said with a smile.
"Alas, I really don't know what to say when I have to be a 'internationalist' in His Majesty's mouth." Zhu Yang sighed.
"Internationalists? What do you mean? Dao Baifeng asked curiously.
"This is a word invented by Your Majesty, which probably means that the country sends troops to help a country with which it has nothing to do with it to put down a rebellion, or to help the country without anything in return." Zhu Yang explained.
"It's very vivid, Your Majesty can come up with such an image of words, and he is also a very interesting person." Dao Baifeng said with a smile.
"Is it the work of a woman to marry to praise another man in front of Ah Lang?" Zhu Yang feigned anger.
Dao Baifeng also knew that he was joking, but he still coquettishly said: "Ah Lang, don't be angry, the slave family knows that he is wrong." ”
"Ah Lang teased you," Zhu Yang smiled: "You haven't seen Your Majesty, what kind of vinegar do I eat." ”
"Alang, you're so bad." Dao Baifeng hammered him with a smile.
……
……
"The village is broken." Mu Ang put down his clairvoyance and said.
"It is impossible not to be breached, how can these villages made of wood and bamboo withstand the artillery. But we don't have much gunpowder, so we have to leave some preparation for emergencies, and we can't run out of them. Zhu Yang said.
"We have already broken through fifteen villages, this is the sixteenth, Your Highness, let's withdraw our troops after defeating this village."
"Not only because of the lack of gunpowder, but also because the soldiers fought continuously, and in a place like Myanmar, which is even wetter than Yunnan, they are also tired and need to rest."
"Besides, Your Highness still wants to return to Beijing for the New Year this year? Then you must return to Ava City immediately. His Royal Highness still has to take a boat from Ava to Guangxi Mansion in the east of Yunnan to the capital, and if he doesn't go back now, there won't be enough time. Mu Ang said.
"Yes, I still want to go back to Beijing for the New Year, but I forgot that it is the end of October now, and I must return to Ava City." Zhu Yang said suddenly.
The two of them were talking as the soldiers rushed into the village through the cracks in the cannons and began to arrest and rob. Most of the Han soldiers only searched the house for a while, and then dragged the Burmese to the village gate; The Tusi soldiers searched the house with great effort, but found many Burmese women and children who were hiding.
After a while, more and more soldiers were pulling the Burmese to the gate of the village, and their waists were bulging with smiles on their faces.
Of course, there are also relatives and friends who are very unfortunate to be killed with grief on their faces, but their waists are also bulging.
Almost the entire village was arrested, and they looked with horror at the Ming army who was holding them with all kinds of weapons and costumes.
Many people's clothes are not very clean and tattered, but women's clothes are still neat. Because the generals generally believed that an army with completely corrupted military discipline would not have much combat effectiveness, the Han army strictly forbade the rape of women in the battlefield. Not only was rape prohibited, but there were many other regulations, including restrictions on looting, the execution of those who did not return to the army within the specified time, and the surrender of a portion of what had been looted.
When the specified time came, all the soldiers had returned to the team, and the bodies of the dead soldiers had been brought back, Wang waved his hand, and several Ming soldiers picked up large barrels and poured liquid on the houses in the village. Later, a Ming soldier lit a handful of straw with a fire breaker and threw it at the house that had been splashed with liquid.
In an instant, this small flame ignited into a sky-high fire, and the entire exterior of the house immediately burst into flames. The houses in the village were all connected together, and soon the houses adjacent to it were also burned.
The Burmese, who had been forcibly taken to the gate of the village, were in a commotion and wanted to rush back into the village; However, the soldiers guarding them were prepared, and immediately put to death the commotion Burmese with swords and guns, and quieted them.
Then a group of soldiers came over to the Burmese, and pulled out the adult men; As before, those who dared to move were put to death.
The adult men were then handed over to the troops of the Bago government, who had been watching the play from the sidelines. They crushed the adult men to their knees and cut off their heads.
The remaining women and children tied their hands with ropes and were led away by the Ming soldiers.
Shalali, a Bago official who led a thousand Bago soldiers to carry out the task of executing Burmese adult men, and by the way, he could collect spoils from the Burmese who had died in battle, stepped forward and saluted Chu Jie, who was in command: "Thank you very much for the help of the Min clan of the Ming Empire. I don't know which village will attack next, but after studying Bago, we believe that the village fifty miles to the southeast is the most suitable, and the army of the Ming Dynasty does not have to travel far, and ......"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Jie: "No, our Ming army is returning to Ava City." ”
"His Royal Highness King Min is going to the capital of Daming to meet His Majesty the Emperor, and he must arrive in the capital before the Chinese New Year, so we don't have time to continue the war in Bago."
"This," Bago Guoke made a lot of plans to continue to use the Ming army, and when he heard that the Ming army was about to withdraw, Shalali immediately said: "General Chu, even if His Royal Highness is going to the capital, there is no need for the whole army to withdraw to Ava,......"
His words were unsurprisingly interrupted by Chu Jie: "No, Your Highness must use the whole army to protect you, and there must be no mistakes." ”
After that, Chu Jie didn't wait for him to say anything more, and returned to the army garrison with the soldiers.
Shalali stood there with a slightly unpleasant face, and after a while he returned to normal, and led the Bago soldiers to the nearest Bago city.
After Zhu Yang decided to start a war with the Burmese rebels in Bago, he sent people to contact the king of Bago, Rasutoli, and the two sides joined forces to deal with the Burmese, and made Rasutoli a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Rassadoli had heard of Da Ming, but he didn't know what Da Ming's strength was, so of course it was impossible to agree to the matter of being a minister immediately, but it was very normal to agree to join forces.
Subsequently, the Ming army, under the leadership of the Mon guides, fought against the Burmese, and successively eliminated at least 50,000 Burmese in field battles. Although they did not use gunpowder weapons in the field, they still frightened the Bago people: the neat procession, the rain of arrows, and the clever command all made the Bago people tremble.
Luo Sudhari immediately made a decision, personally came to see Zhu Yang and wanted to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and formed a brotherly state with the Min Domain.
