Chapter 287: Burma's Return to Shun (Page 1/1)

Now that the king has spoken, everyone else can naturally only put away the little Jiujiu in their hearts first and follow the king's wishes. After the meeting, Tharon left Thashin Mi behind.

Thaksin Mi was a minister he trusted, and even a good friend of his. He said: "If you fight against the Ming army, do you think there really will be no chance of winning?" ”

Thaksin Mi replied: "My lord, it is obviously not possible to surrender without a fight, so it is a very safe way to fight first. However, judging from the information obtained by the ministers, the Ming army was much stronger than ours, their firearms were more powerful than the firearms of the Portuguese before, the rate of fire was fast, and they also had artillery, and Naypyitus let the artillery collapse the city wall and lose it. ”

More than ten years ago, the king of Taungoo, Anahualon, fought with the Portuguese and recovered the Salem occupied by the Portuguese, and the Portuguese firearms caused the Taungoo people to suffer a great loss. He was shocked to hear that the firearms of the French army were more powerful than those of the Portuguese. But he said stiffly: "The Portuguese have powerful firearms, aren't they all beaten away by us?" Even if the Ming army is stronger than the Portuguese, it will not be that we will not have the strength to fight. ”

Thaksin said: "The Ming army has powerful weapons, and this is only one of the aspects. The most important reason why we were able to defeat the Portuguese in the past was that there were too few Portuguese, and the Ming Dynasty had a population of 10,000, which was much larger than that of Donghu, and it was bordering Donghu, plus the advanced weapons, how could Donghu be their opponent. ”

He nodded his head: "This king actually understands, Portugal is too far away from us, and Daming is too close to us, but this king is always unwilling." ”

Thaksin Mi said: "The Mo clan of Annam got the help of the Ming Dynasty, and ended the rule of the Zheng clan, and now the Ming Dynasty has been named the king of Nanyue, and the Nguyen clan in the south is overwhelmed, according to the minister's thoughts, within ten years, the Nguyen clan will be defeated." This is the difference between the support of the Ming Dynasty and the support of the Ming Dynasty, they instigated the king to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not have the intention of learning from the Mo family. ”

He was shocked and shocked, thinking in his heart, there is indeed such a possibility, if they are allowed to succeed, and then they lose the throne, and the head is afraid and will not be protected, it is better to return to the Ming Dynasty and keep the wealth.

"Then let's fight first, as long as the situation is not good, this king will immediately send someone to see the Ming army and bow down to the Ming Dynasty, and it is not the first time for us."

Thakin Mi said with a smile: "The king is far-sighted, and his subordinates admire it. ”

The Ming army did not immediately attack in the face of the tall city walls of Donghu, and after setting up camp outside the city, the Ming army began to cut down wood and build wooden bridges across the moat, and then pushed the artillery in front of the west gate.

The Donghu people watched the Ming army push their strange weapons in front of the west gate, six hundred steps from the moat, and did not understand what they were going to do. At this time, the commander of the Ming army gave an order, and a solid bullet whistled out of the muzzle of the cannon and hit the moat.

Donghu people laughed loudly, it turns out that this kind of thing can only shoot into the moat, so what threat can it be? At this time, the Ming army adjusted the muzzle, and another shell was fired and hit the suspension bridge in front of the west gate.

Because the drawbridge was not lowered, the shell was fired in the middle of the drawbridge, making a large hole. The laughter of the Donghu people stopped abruptly, the suspension bridge was made of extremely thick wooden planks, and the Ming army actually punched a hole in the suspension bridge, if this was hit on people, then the result would not be very good.

The Ming army replaced the flowering shells, slightly deflected the muzzle, and a flowering bullet hit the drawbridge, which began to burn, and the wood slowly deformed and fell into the moat.

The Ming army slowly advanced the artillery a hundred paces, but there was still no way to form an effective damage at this distance from the city, and after the arrow flew for a while, it floated in front of the cannon and fell weakly. The Ming army fired a fire oil bomb, which hit the city gate right on.

The people of Donghu did not hear the sound of shells exploding and were rejoicing. At this time, the flowering bombs of the Ming army came, and with the sound of violent explosions, the city gate began to burn.

At this time, other artillery also began to bombard, and a shell landed right on the West City Gate Tower, blowing up the wooden building to pieces, and the Donghu soldiers next to them were shot by shrapnel, and there were bursts of screams. The people of Donghu were shocked, and the people on the city wall hurriedly withdrew.

After a while, the cannon in the cave of the west gate was gradually extinguished, because the city gate was almost burned. The artillery commander took a telescope and looked carefully at the city gate hole, and found that there was a group of Donghu people on the other side of the city gate hole looking out in amazement. He then ordered a squat artillery to fire a flowering shell, and the cannonball whistled through the city gate, blowing up the Donghu soldiers in the city.

Only then did the Donghu people realize that it was unsafe to stand here, so they hurriedly dispersed. At this time, the white pole soldier took the wooden bridge forward, put the wooden bridge on the original place of the drawbridge, and then quickly retreated.

How could the Donghu people make the Ming army build a wooden bridge, a group of Donghu soldiers rushed out from the city gate hole, holding hooks and crowbars in their hands, trying to destroy the wooden bridge. A solid catapult ejected, knocking the front Toho people into the air, and then continued to roll forward, and everyone it touched fell to the ground.

A group of guards rushed forward with their guns in hand, stopped near the wooden bridge, and began to fire. They waited until the Toungoo people had run out of the city gate before they opened fire together, knocking the Toungoo people down next to the wooden bridge.

The people of Donghu were afraid that the Ming army would rush into the city from the wooden bridge, so they could only constantly send people out to destroy the wooden bridge, and the Ming army stood by the wooden bridge, harvesting the lives of the Donghu people with firearms. The sound of firecrackers echoed in the city gate with the screams of the Donghu people, and the Donghu soldiers in the city had to run out at the urging of the officers.

Simon's situation was soon reported to King Long, who hurriedly said to him: "Raise the white flag, and we will return to the Ming Dynasty." ”

The white flag was soon raised, and when Ruchin saw it, he ordered the attack to be suspended, but the guards at the wooden bridge were still there, ignoring them as long as the Donghu soldiers did not destroy the wooden bridge.

After a while, Thaxin Mi came out with a few people and said: "I am willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty forever and guard the southern frontier for the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lu Qin also ignored him, and naturally a guard stepped forward and said: "Let the king of Donghu go out of the city, there is a holy decree of the Ming Emperor." ”

Thaksin Mi hurriedly sent people into the city to inform him of King Long, who had no choice but to gather his ministers out of the city and surrender.

Lu Qin took out the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: The current king of Donghu is the king of Burma, and the king of Burma will send the prince to the capital to accept the reward of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire territory of Myanmar will be temporarily taken over by the Ming army, and the original Donghu army will be disbanded on the spot, and the king of Burma can recruit 10,000 people to escort it. ”

He bowed and thanked, "Your Ministers obey." ”
