While Shen had been busy with political stability and crusade against Burma, Xiao Ruxun arrived at the port of Yangon on June 13 and the capital city of Nam An on June 14, returning to his home after a six-month absence.

It's just that unlike every previous joy, this time, Xiao Ruxun's return heralds the beginning of the war.

After Xiao Ruxun returned to Nan'an, he immediately ordered all the generals above the middle level of the army to gather in Nan'an City to hold an important military meeting.

The generals of the entire Zhennan Army were very surprised by the news of Xiao Ruxun's sudden return, and rushed to Nan'an City as quickly as possible, and when they came to Nan'an and saw Xiao Ruxun himself, they were even more surprised.

The reason for the surprise was simple, because Xiao Ruxun announced the news of the war.

The target of the war is not the legendary power in the west, nor the respectful vassal states in the east, but the north, the Ming Dynasty.

To be precise, it is the Ming Dynasty that is controlled by Shen's government.

Xiao Ruxun's war goal is Shen Yiyi, not Da Ming.

"Shen has always framed me, deposed and imprisoned His Majesty, and now he has fully mastered the government, and declared the town of Burma a rebel town, and also ordered Chen Yongbin, the governor of Yunnan, to conquer us, everyone, we have no way out."

Xiao Ruxun told the ins and outs of the matter, and the generals of the Zhennan Army were all shocked and inexplicable.

"Shen Zheng, that dog thief, how dare to do such a rebellious thing?"

Zhao Hu took the lead and said angrily: "And killed so many of our brothers? He really can't be bullied by us?! ”

Zhao Hu slapped his palm on the table and roared angrily.

Subsequently, the generals of the Zhennan Army were furious and scolded angrily.

Xiao Ruxun saw that the generals were angry, and he didn't intend to be restrained at all, so he knew that he could tell the purpose.

"Shen has always been mad and rebellious! I want to go on a northern expedition, fight against the rebellion in Fengtian, fight back to Beijing, rescue Your Majesty, kill the traitor Shen Zheng, and return the next bright tomorrow! Generals, will you walk with me? ”

Xiao Ruxun only said a word, and the generals of the Zhennan Army immediately knelt down in unison and shouted in unison: "I am willing to rebel with the commander!" ”

With Xiao Ruxun's prestige in the Zhennan Army, the Zhennan Army only looked at Xiao Ruxun and absolutely obeyed his orders.

Not to mention the current time of life and death, if you don't follow Xiao Ruxun's Northern Expedition and use Shen's usual treatment of the southern army of Jingshi Town, you can imagine what will happen to everyone, it must be a dead word.

The main force in the Zhennan army is all refugees from the north who joined the army after coming to Burma to survive, and the Yuancong faction followed Xiao Ruxun to fight from north to south, almost the role of a general, and his loyalty to Xiao Ruxun is extremely high.

The generals decided to fight, and Xiao Ruxun asked Chen Longzheng to write a rebellious essay.

In the article, the ugly story of Shen Zhengyi's conspiracy to launch a coup d'état is recounted, and the main accomplices such as Xiao Daheng, Yang Yikui and others are also recounted, and Shen has always been described as a heinous national thief as much as possible, and then explains that Xiao Ruxun wants to rebel against heaven and the Northern Expedition.

Chen Longzheng wiped cold sweat while writing, and after writing, Xiao Ruxun took a look at it, and then started to write this essay into an easy-to-understand plain vernacular.

Chen Longzheng's version of the text was to inform the surrounding vassal states, and Xiao Ruxun wanted these vassal states to start standing in line, whether they were on Shen Yi's side or his own side.

Xiao Ruxun didn't expect them to be on his side, but when he was on the Northern Expedition, he didn't want the backyard to catch fire, so at least, he had to keep them neutral, and if he dared to make small moves, he wouldn't mind destroying a few small national prestige on the way to the Northern Expedition.

Of course, the most important thing to pay attention to is the Siamese King Na Rui Xuan, the two have fought side by side, and the relationship is okay, but if Na Rui Xuan wants to stand on Shen Zheng's side, Xiao Ruxun will still feel a headache.

To tie Na Ruixuan to his chariot, he didn't have to send an army, but he didn't want to be alone.

The vernacular text is used to incite the people under the jurisdiction of Myanmar Town, and it also adds content such as Shen has always threatened that Myanmar Town is a rebel town, and wants to destroy Myanmar Town and slaughter the people of Myanmar Town, which is extremely alarmist.

Xiao Ruxun wants to use this document to incite the fighting consciousness of the people in Myanmar Town to fight with the same hatred and hatred, and urge them to join the army to protect Xiao Ruxun and protect their own good life.

This text is only the first edition, and when it officially enters the interior of the Ming Dynasty, there will be a second edition, and perhaps a third edition, and each edition will have new revelations, Xiao Ruxun will completely smash the masks of those gentry.

After the text was written, Xiao Ruxun immediately arranged for people to spread it out, and sent literate people to the street to shout, whether they were literate or not, they had to know about this matter in the shortest possible time.

Then Xiao Ruxun ordered the four battalions of the infantry army and the two battalions of the cavalry army to make preparations for the expansion of the army, preparing to expand the existing 50,000 troops to at least 100,000.

Once the war began, Xiao Ruxun needed the navy to bring a part of the troops across the sea to attack Jiangnan, cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, completely strangle the food and capital sources of Shen Chengcheng's government, and completely destroy his old nest on the southeast coast.

At the same time, Xiao Ruxun ordered the secret military base in the northern mountains to start full operation, working overtime to produce ordnance and supplies, and ordered the garrison troops to start alerting the enemy from Yunnan in the north.

Officials began to conduct a comprehensive inventory of warehouses all over Burma, counted the military supplies needed by the Zhennan Army for the Northern Expedition, and then began to pack and load trucks, fully mobilizing for the war.

Xiao Ruxun issued a general mobilization order for the war in Burma, and all the energy accumulated over the years was to be completely exploded at this moment.

After the people below began to mobilize, Xiao Ruxun himself certainly couldn't be idle, he felt that there was a lack of manpower around him, especially the lack of staff talents, and only one Yuan Huang was obviously not enough, so he remembered Ma Gui and Mei Guozhen who were protected by him.

Thinking of the two of them, Xiao Ruxun was overjoyed, and immediately went to see Ma Gui and Mei Guozhen, told him everything that happened to him, and then asked for help from the two.

"There is no need to hide here now, Brother Ma, Mei Gong, Your Majesty was tragically betrayed by Shen Zheng, and now he is imprisoned, and he is forced to abdicate, I want to fight back to Jingshi to kill Shen Zheng to rescue Your Majesty, but my strength alone is too small, I need your help!"

Xiao Ruxun held the hands of the two with red eyes and asked for their help.

Magui quickly agreed.

He is just a military general, he thought that he was going to spend his life here, but it suddenly turned around, and after this kind of thing happened, Xiao Ruxun's enemy was his enemy, and in the face of Xiao Ruxun, who had helped him to this extent, Ma Gui felt that there was no reason not to help him.

If you win, you may be able to restore your identity, and if you lose, you will die, which is no different from the current life that is better than death.

He only felt that the moment he agreed, he suddenly had a feeling of rebirth.

Mei Guozhen thought a little more, he was already dead and planned to spend the rest of his life in Myanmar, but suddenly encountered such a thing.

He couldn't imagine that Shen would always do such a thing, but Xiao Ruxun's encounter couldn't have been fabricated out of thin air, this incident did happen.
