In the old palace of Siam, Yao Qisheng smiled and said, "Does the general know what reason we used to attack Siam?" ”

Peng Zhuze pouted and said: "You are a fool to be a general, Siam has been destroyed, and you don't know the reason for sending troops?" Isn't it just that they attacked our Annam? ”

Yao Qisheng said: "Wow, Annan is our land, and if the Siamese people fight, they are enemies of the Ming Dynasty." But what about Myanmar? How could they get out of the matter, Siam was confronting Burma at all times, why did they dare to suddenly send troops to attack Annam, I think eighty percent of them conspired. ”

Peng Zhuze gasped and said, "For such a reason, you start a war against a country, isn't it..."

Yao Qisheng stood up, walked to Peng Zhuze's side, poured him full of wine, and said unhurriedly: "This trick is called chasing the wind and catching shadows, I don't plan to send troops like this, we can continue to use the second trick and make something out of nothing." ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Yao Qisheng wiped his eyelids and said coldly: "Since Burma is so suspicious, we declare that the Siamese emperor recognized that it was the Burmese king who asked him to send troops. Then we sent an envoy to the king of Burma to explain why. Just imagine, he is the lord of Burma, and he is not willing to be at the mercy of us ministers, and he will definitely not agree, and most of them have a bad attitude towards our envoys. In this way, when the envoys were halfway there, we sent them back to Jinling and announced that the envoy had been killed.

As the saying goes, if the two countries are at war, they have not yet killed the envoys, and the envoys we sent were killed in Burma, and they can still not send troops? ”

"Not bad! Or do you have more options, General Ben will go find a few messengers now. ”

Yao Qisheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry, wait for us to arrange the soldiers and horses in place, and then send the envoy." When the time comes, the troops will be dispatched with lightning speed and they will be caught off guard. I led my troops to the border between Siam and Burma, and the general led my troops to the west of Cochin, and then informed the soldiers and horses of Yunnan and Guizhou to assemble in northern Burma. Just wait for the messenger to come back, the three-way army marches together, it is best to win the victory before the year, capture the king of Burma and present it to His Majesty, in order to celebrate the New Year! ”

Peng Zhuze clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay! Just do as you say. ”

Hou Xuanyan has an indispensable obsession with Burma, so after receiving the capture of Siam, he once again sent a secret decree to Peng Zhuze to conquer the entire territory of Burma.

A hundred years ago, the Burmese Mang Ying unified the whole territory of Myanmar, established the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma, and established itself as the king.

Since then, the country has been very arrogant, and has repeatedly taken the initiative to attack Siam and the Ming Dynasty.

That's right, it was they who took the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty...

Mang Yingti also knows a little powerful, mainly to fight Siam, and create border friction between Yunnan and Daming. However, his descendants were ambitious, and took advantage of the opportunity of the siege in the suburbs of the Ming Dynasty to send tens of thousands of troops to attack the Yunnan region of China, and soon occupied a part of Yunnan.

At that time, it was in the Wanli period, although the Ming Dynasty was declining, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. The imperial court sent two generals, Liu Wei and Deng Zilong, to drive the Burmese army out of the occupied city. Since then, Myanmar has been endless, and has sent troops to Yunnan several times, fighting for 20 years to defeat itself.

Today's Donghu Dynasty should be the most powerful dynasty in the history of Burma, if it is not for the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to sweep these small countries in Southeast Asia.

In the history of later generations, Myanmar made a plan to fall into the well, and that was the real work.

The Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang did not dare to fight against the Qing soldiers, leaving Li Dingguo and fleeing to Burma, where the Burmese confiscated the weapons of the accompanying generals and soldiers under the pretext that the local people were afraid. Then they showed their true colors, and they blackmailed and coerced them to first get rid of the money of the fleeing small court, and then forced them to participate in the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the new king.

At that time, Mu Tianbo was furious and angrily reprimanded the Burmese people: "Erxuanwei Si was originally a place where I was sealed in China, and now my monarch and minister have arrived, and it is the state of the Heavenly Empire." Your king should answer here, it is the reason of your state, how to trap my monarch and ministers here. …… Does the king not know that he is a lower state? It has been three years since the emperor came here today, and he didn't look at it, what is the reason? How can we do this now? You went to tell the king of Er, and said that I am the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, but I am only made by the mandate of heaven, and now I have traveled to the land of no life, how can I be deceived by the people of Ertu? Today, although my monarch and ministers are poor, King Lianger does not dare to be rude. Ren Er's country has millions of soldiers, like thousands, and my monarch and ministers just die with the mandate of heaven. But after the death of my king, there will be people who come to settle accounts with the king. ”

After saying that, all the ministers who fled to Burma with Zhu Youlang were killed, and the Burmese cavalry galloped into the village where Emperor Yongli lived, killing all the men over the age of fifteen. The only survivors of the massacre were the approximately 340 widows and orphans of these unfortunate officials. The only people in the royal family who are immortal are the emperor, the queen mother, the empress, the crown prince, the princess, the nobles, several little eunuchs, and a sick and disabled guard. The Burmese expelled all the surviving from the killing site and imprisoned them for three days without food, water or washrooms. Then, on a cold autumn day, the Burmese allowed them to return to their original homes, but no food was provided.

In the end, the Burmese handed over the dying Zhu Youlang to Wu Sangui, fulfilling his credit for killing two Ming emperors.

With so many new hatreds and old hatreds, of course Hou Xuanyan will not let this Myanmar continue to exist, the elephant that the Burmese rely on to fight, it is a joke when they encounter firearms. As soon as the cannon sounded, the frightened elephant first trampled his own people half to death, and the army of the Ming Dynasty had many firearms.

Peng Zhuze had the right to mobilize troops and horses from the southwestern provinces, so his messenger arrived in Yunnan, and Yunnan commanded the envoy to send troops immediately and quietly increase troops to the border.

Because there is often friction between China and Burma, and the increase of troops is also a normal operation, the Burmese people were nervous for a while, and after a few days of no movement, they relaxed their vigilance.

Yao Qisheng's Manraka Water Division is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are people of all colors.

Fortunately, there are special literacy classes in the army, which teach the soldiers to read and write, and are also responsible for teaching Chinese to these soldiers.

Hou Xuanyan had already made up his mind that he didn't want a colony, but a territory. Take advantage of the Han people's unparalleled talent for assimilation, and turn all the places they have conquered into their own inherent territory.

The colony is a short-term transitional exploitation, and only complete sinicization is a long-term solution.

Manraka is now a monolith, almost a paradise for Ming merchants, where they can communicate with Siyi. Today's Manraka is not only the largest commodity distribution center in Europe and Asia, but also the fastest Sinicization of Fanbang, the East China Sea has become the Ming Dynasty's inland sea, and the South China Sea has become a transit point for white-skinned people and Ming trades.

Don't look at the constant friction between the Dutch, the Portuguese and the Ming, but it does not affect the trade between merchants in the slightest.

In this way, Yao Qisheng slowly moved to Myanmar with Manraka water divisions of various races.
