Chapter 32: The Orphan of the Zhao Family (7)
"General, there is no one at the gates! The door is also open! ”
Sun Chongya asked people to probe again, and they got the same news. At the moment, he had no doubts, and the people rushed into Ava through the east gate.
Zhao Gongfan's soldiers occupied the city gate and planted a large banner with the character Sun at the head of the city. As if he had been drugged, he shot an arrow when he saw someone other than his own, and knocked down several unarmed Burmese in a row before he was persuaded by his subordinates: "If you are discovered by those Hades, your life will be in trouble, Master." ”
Zhao snorted, and had to temporarily put away his bow and look for the next target suspected to be the Burmese army.
The city was filled with half-baked Burmese shouts, the content of which was nothing more than disarming and not killing. After receiving the news that the Ming army had entered the city, the city gate guard, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately ordered the soldiers to tie red cloth strips on their shoulders, and then poked the Burmese army without red cloth strips together with the Ming army.
The eyes of the Burmese soldiers were on their heads instead of in the sky, and they didn't know that the Ming army that came in at this moment was only 400 people, looking at the humanoid Gundam with big shoulders and round waists and hands about the same size as their thighs, they had already experienced a fear and chose to surrender in the face of these tall and decisive.
This made Zhao Jingfan very unhappy: Lao Tzu still wants to shoot at your targets, why don't you pick up your arms and let me shoot? Afraid of the military judge's baton and waist knife, Zhao Zhifan didn't dare to shoot them again, but just kicked a few times to find the next target.
"Ahem... What is this..."Smelling a sudden increase in the burning smell in his nose, Zhao Gongfan raised his head and looked in the direction where the smell was generated.
I saw that a house not far away was splashed with some kind of liquid, and then lit with a torch, there was no rain today and the wind speed was very strong, the thatched house was swallowed up in a few breaths, and the thatch with the flames flew around the city, igniting the entire block that the Ming army had just entered.
And after this burning neighborhood, Manda led the pro-army around him to organize a defensive line inside and outside the palace. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the raging fire separated the Burmese army from the Ming army and destroyed the homes of hundreds of Burmese people. Some Burmese fled their burning homes wailing, while many more perished in the flames.
Faced with the skyrocketing fire, the Ming army was discouraged. In those days, there were no fire trucks or fire hydrants. Although the Burmese had stored water tanks to extinguish fires all over the city, how did the Ming army who had just entered the city know where these tanks were stored? The sentinel, who had no choice but to gather the team and temporarily retreat to a safe distance.
Sun Chongya also entered the city at this time, and when he saw this group of fool-like subordinates, he was angry and grabbed Zhao Gongfan's ears: "What are you doing here in a daze?" ”
Zhao Jingfan was just about to answer, but was interrupted by Sun Chongya: "Tear down all the surrounding houses, I am sure that I will be in trouble if Ava is burned to the ground, and you don't want to have good fruits to eat!" ”
Zhao Gongfan, who felt a sharp pain in his ears, was excited, and hurriedly led his men to drive out the Burmese people in the surrounding houses (at least more merciful than the Burmese army regardless of whether there was anyone or not), and then used various methods to demolish the house. Almost all Burmese houses are made of wood, mud and thatch, and when the beams are broken, the whole house will creak and collapse.
Sun Chongya dragged this group of brainless illiterate people to demolish the houses one by one, and then followed the Ming army that came up to reinforce the same way, and the Ming army quickly cleared out an isolation belt on the east side of the fire.
Looking at the skyrocketing fire next to the palace, Anonymous was prepared, and prepared a large number of water tanks filled with water early, and he was "benevolent" by nature, and he also gave each of his subordinates a wet rag, planning to run away directly when necessary. Obviously, Anonymous is prepared with both hands, if the fire doesn't burn over, it's naturally best, if it burns and can't be saved, just drive the car and run away.
Looking at the sons of the family who were grateful to him and the escape carriage loaded with all kinds of necessary supplies, Anonymous made up his mind and walked into the courtyard where Zhao Quanzhong lived calmly.
"Zhao Ye is really clever! Within a few days, the king had already entered Ava. ”
"The Duke has a good reputation. This is not some magic trick, but it is just an inevitable move by His Majesty to prosper. Myanmar is vast and sparsely populated, and although its national strength is still strong in Nanyang, it is not as good as any of the thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty. Myanmar provokes a big country with a small country, and it will inevitably be punished by Wang Shiying. However, isn't he afraid of looting by random soldiers? ”
"There is Master Wang, and before the rebels can break through the gate of the courtyard, they will be taken by Master Wang to exchange for first-level merit!"
Zhao Quanzhong nodded, contemplating in his heart. The loss of the Burmese king has become inevitable, but the Ming Dynasty, as the suzerain, has a lot of leeway in dealing with Myanmar: even if it was Jiaozhi that was annexed by the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu also went to look for the descendants of the Chen Dynasty, and if he couldn't find it, he would make Jiaozhi attached. There are many sons of the Burmese royal family, and it is impossible to find the clan, unless the Ming Dynasty has the same --- to learn from the Manchu Dynasty, and if the Ming Dynasty clan is caught, it will either be said to be fake, or it will be said to rebel, and then it will be cut with a knife.
However, Da Ming is not the kind of barbarian genus of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can it be so ugly?
Of course, it is not difficult to see, it is also possible to find an heir for Mangda to be crowned a virtual county king, or simply seal Mangda as the county king and put him under house arrest directly, forcing Mangda to "attach the above table".
Of these two options, the second is naturally the most beneficial for itself.
If the existence of the Burmese state is maintained, even if the Ava authorities do not dare to abuse the Han people in this way, it will not be better to return to the rule of the Ming Dynasty after all, and the "maintenance association" established by this group of merchants will quickly lose power. But if the annexation is completely different, the Han and Burmese people do not understand the language, they and this group of merchants can speak both languages, not only the same species as the Ming Dynasty and the same species, but also the head of the land, even if he has no fame, the merchant is not a scholar, it is no problem to find some agents from the family to grant the status of a prisoner as an official.
What the? You say that the prisoners are discriminated against in the Ming officialdom?
Those who discriminate against prisoners are still in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty?
As long as these people can master the various positions of the future "Burmese Undertaking and Political Envoy Department", then they can naturally take revenge, and the official is still a waste under house arrest, it is still very simple, and even if he can get the emperor's favor and blow the wind in his ears, wouldn't Mangda become Li Yu of Burma?
But for Myanmar, today, with tens of thousands of directly subordinate troops, is the most powerful force in Myanmar, and the little resources in the hands of himself and businessmen are really not worth mentioning in front of the gun.
After thinking about it, Zhao Quanzhong sighed: "Gong Yi, I want to wait for Ava City to stabilize and ask to see the Son of Heaven once." Would you like to go with me? ”
"That's nature, if I can see the face of heaven, it will be an honor for me for a lifetime."
