Chapter 5: Breaking the City
"Wang Tongshi, you go and hand over the grain to your mother country." Iva said angrily to the general matter that was trembling under her feet.
"No, no. If that Yongli is indecisive, I can still come back if I go, but this Yongli is the same as the Wanli Emperor, the Wanli Emperor is to us and other overseas outcasts, then whoever kills it will be rewarded. ”
"Who wants to listen to your nonsense! Somebody has to go to the city, right? ”
"That's easy to do, don't you look at the Ming people in the city and don't like it, just catch one and go to be a general."
So unfortunately, the family that had just been looted "ushered in" the Burmese soldiers who had not yet lifted their pants, "Who in your family can read and write?" The man asked in Burmese.
The young man's brain turned fast: since he came to read a book, he naturally wouldn't use it to kill or do coolies, but he wanted a Ming person, so naturally he was with the Ming army outside... In this case, maybe his sister's humiliation will have a chance to take revenge. The young man didn't want to believe that a doomsday monarch who dared to bombard this earth enclosure would really kill himself, the "outcasts of the Celestial Empire".
After hesitating for a moment, the young man pretended to be nothing, and replied with a silly face: "I will!" ”
"You rebel, are you going out to die?" The father, who was immersed in grief, cried and said, "Our family, you are the only seedling!" ”
"Alright, come with me!" The leader ignored his father, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, two Burmese soldiers pushed him out.
"I'll go by myself!" The young man tried to straighten his waist, showing the "heroic spirit" he saw when he was studying on weekdays, but the Burmese soldiers couldn't help him walk slowly, and dragged him out with a rolling crawl.
The boy was dragged to the door of a large mansion and waited. The side door of the house opened, and out of it came a richly dressed Burmese. I saw the Burmese man say to the young man: "Wait for what I say, you can say something in Chinese, do you understand?" ”
"Got it." The boy lowered his head, his legs trembling, and pretended to be afraid that he had never seen the world.
"Hmph, it's really a timid dog, and not all the money earned is gone to us." The Burmese turned on their horses.
Along the way, the boy was thinking about how to "mobilize" the Ming army outside to avenge himself. There was a preoccupied look on his face. Fortunately, the Burmese soldiers who escorted him were all rough people, and the Burmese on the horse didn't bother to look at him at all, so they didn't show any flaws.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, the Burmese on the horse turned over and dismounted, leading the young man towards the Ming army.
"In the personal entourage of Lord Xia Naiwa, I have come to check the grain with the king." The Burmese people didn't dare to say any contemptuous words in the face of the Ming army's swords and guns, even if they knew that they were speaking ill of the other party, most of them couldn't understand it, but they were a little jealous of the young man who was still submissive to him just now--- after all, this young man and the Ming army on the opposite side belonged to the same clan and one country.
"Flip!"
"I... I. The boy pretended to stammer.
"What are you doing, flip it." The Burmese looked displeased.
"Yes." The young man glanced back at the Burmese people, finally organized the language, and opened his mouth to shout: "These two hundred stone grain will be given to you by the Great Burmese Empire to give you the pig's head Ming Kingdom, if you beg for food again, the Great Burma Empire will slaughter all the Ming dogs in the city!" ”
The young man's voice quickly reached the ears of Zhu Youlang, who was resting in the rear of the army, like a scud outside the empty city.
"What?" Although the young man spoke the official dialect of the southwest, Zhu Youlang's memories of his past life and present life were enough for him to understand most words. He was a little incredulous, were the Burmese in the city crazy? Giving food while making insulting remarks?
Zhu Youlang grabbed the wooden cup in front of him and threw it to the ground, the water in the cup spilled on the ground, making a dull sound--- when he escaped from the capital of Yunnan, many people were lost, where did the porcelain cup come from?
Thinking of how many humiliations his body had suffered in history, how many jokes he had made, but he had to bear these by himself, Zhu Youlang was even more annoyed, he walked out of the tent with an arrow, and grabbed the nearest little eunuch casually: "Send a message to me, now, immediately, immediately, blow up this dirt fence that does not know whether to live or die, and I want to make this place disappear from the map forever!" Forever! ”
The little eunuch was frightened enough, and hurriedly ran to deliver the decree.
Immediately afterwards, the six-door Franc aircraft carried by the Ming army repeatedly bombed the fortress of this writing city, which was read as Tuweizi. After a round of firing, a large hole was blasted open in the earthen wall, which was less than six meters high, and several long cracks appeared around it. Hundreds of Ming soldiers rushed in with spears and rushed straight to the center of this earthen enclosure.
The course of the battle was naturally one-sided. The unsuspecting Burmese did not expect the Ming army to come suddenly, and in the face of the spears and rows of lead shot over, the Burmese who tried to resist the Ming army with their arms as chariots fell in a pool of blood.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Eva, who was still scolding Ming dogs on the city wall in the morning, was dragged in front of Zhu Youlang like a dead dog.
Zhu Youlang had no interest in this dead dog, just looked at it and waved his hand to behead him. Because in two years, the current king of Burma, Mangda, would be killed by his younger brother Mangbai, so Zhu Youlang was not afraid of angering the "master of Ava City" at all.
However, Zhu Youlang was very interested in the provocateur with his own megaphone, so he ordered someone to bring it.
So, the Burmese, who had poured blood mold, was dragged along with the boy.
"Bold rebel, don't kneel when you see the Son of Heaven!" The two of them were pressed to their knees together.
Zhu Youlang did not speak, but carefully observed the facial expressions of the two, there were still blood stains on the Burmese face, both sides of the face were red and swollen--- obviously the soldiers thought that the mouth was swollen, and the young man may have said something, there were no obvious scars on his body.
Without waiting for Zhu Youlang to understand what was wrong between the two, the young man spoke first: "The grass people knock to see the emperor!" The grass people are a capital crime! ”
"Oh? I would like to hear why you said you were guilty of a capital crime. The two armies are at war, and they do not come to the enemy. Moreover, you are only a general matter, and it is not up to you to talk about sin. ”
"Actually, the Burmese didn't say those things at first, those things that didn't offend the great powers. It was made up by the grass people themselves for revenge. "Although the young man has read books and has seen more than most of his peers of this era, he is a little unfavorable to speak in the face of an emperor who is even in trouble.
"You don't have to be nervous, since you can do it at the double risk of being blamed by me and being killed by the Burmese, then there must be your reasons. You've probably heard the Burmese people in the city say that I'm weak and incompetent. ”
"The grass people don't dare!" The young man's face turned pale with fright, and he kowtowed repeatedly.
"It's okay, I won't kill you, you continue."
"The Burmese collect grain in the city, and I have always been bullied by the Burmese, so naturally we are the ones who are bullied this time..."
"And then? Why not? Zhu Youlang asked in a majestic voice.
"The grass people, the grass people heard that the Ming Dynasty is right, and those who go out are regarded as outcasts..."
Alas... Zhu Youlang sighed in his heart: It is said that the West began to colonize foreign countries after the Age of Discovery, but have the Chinese not spontaneously colonized foreign countries? Almost every country in Southeast Asia has a large Chinese ethnic group, and the Southeast Asian Chinese even established their own country in the Qing Dynasty--- the Republic of Lanfang, but due to the opposition of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Chinese who did not have the support of the state suffered humiliation in various countries, and were taken by those natives and humiliated at will.
In later generations, whenever she saw historical materials about overseas Chinese such as the "Manila Massacre", Liu Jing couldn't help but sigh that she could not change this tragic history. Thinking that such a thing had turned from history to reality for him, Zhu Youlang was angry again.
"Even the Emperor Lie said that a thief is also a child, are those Chinese sons and daughters who are forced to go abroad to make a living, in my eyes, are not as good as those thieves who kill officials and rebel? I am not even guilty of the previous thieves and thieves, but who is the one who has ill intentions and spreads rumors? Don't worry, only the Eastern Captives who lead the beasts and cannibals can turn a blind eye to the children of China! ”
After venting some emotions that did not belong to this era, Zhu Youlang felt that his whole body was full of strength: "You continue to speak." ”
