Six hundred and eighty United Arakan
Although Xiao Ruxun has always had no good impression of this country and has been blacklisted, Xiao Ruxun also proposed that now is the time to unite with Arakan to destroy the Mon people, and pay attention to forming a better relationship with Arakan to make it a barrier for us to block a unified empire further west.
Yuan Huang didn't know that there was a great danger lying around him before he came to Burma, and he knew that Xiao Ruxun told him that it turned out that there was a unified and powerful empire covering thousands of miles to the west of Arakan.
This empire is called the Mughal Empire, and it is ruled by a wise emperor, and the country is not weak at all, at least in the current Burma town, which is no match for this great empire.
If you want to fight against this great empire, the tens of thousands of troops in Burma Town are completely insufficient, and the expansion of 100,000 troops is also a front army, without the full support of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that we will not be able to win, which is equivalent to causing a huge trouble for the Ming Dynasty.
But there is no need to worry too much, because this big empire has a lot of troubles of its own, it is mired in religious quagmire, and like the Ming Dynasty, which is currently in deep financial crisis, the willingness and ability to expand abroad are not too strong, otherwise how can the small country of Arakan be allowed to exist on the side of the couch?
But at least for now, don't have a direct intersection with him, or it will certainly disrupt our overall plans.
Therefore, we should form an alliance with Arakan to help them recover the land as bait, so that they can fight the Mon in the north and south with us, resolve the Mon war as soon as possible, and reduce consumption.
Yuan Huang remembered Xiao Ruxun's arrangement, and he also thought that this method was very feasible, even if it was to use each other, as long as the purpose of each other was the same, a cooperation agreement could be reached, anyway, diplomacy has been the same since ancient times.
As a qualified politician, Minyesaki naturally knew who he should ally with and who he should fight against, but he was only surprised that a powerful and ancient kingdom that existed only between the word of mouth of the merchants had become his neighbor.
Due to the actual situation and the number of people, Xiao Ruxun's core of rule in Myanmar is still limited to the southern coastal areas, and the border with Arakan to the west is still no man's land, and there is no actual rule, and Arakan has never felt threatened by China.
But now I feel it.
The merchant sent by Yuan Huang had a very clever mouth, and he explained Yuan Huang's meaning very cleverly, probably that when they dealt with Wang Mang Yingli of the Donghu Dynasty, they expelled these Meng people here, but they didn't expect that there was a state rule here.
Now that they knew, they invited Minyesaki to flank these Mon people, and if they succeeded, all the territory of the Arakan dynasty would be returned, and they would not want an inch of land.
This is a very tempting choice, Ming Yesaji is trapped in the crisis of the Mon people, his prestige in the country continues to decline, and he is about to turn to Akbar for help, and now he suddenly has a strong teammate on the door, he will naturally rejoice.
But fortunately, there are also some doubts, whether this is true or not, the Meng people have been ravaging his land for almost three years, he is very troubled and powerless, and now the possibility of solving the problem suddenly appears, he is naturally very skeptical of the sincerity of the "Ming Dynasty".
In the past few years, he has roughly understood that the sudden appearance of the Meng people is related to the Ming Dynasty, as for whether it is the Ming Dynasty's instructions, or whether it is the independent behavior of the Meng people as the Ming Dynasty said, this is all a question.
He had to be suspicious.
The envoy said that the Ming Dynasty had begun a war against the Mon people, and was attacking from the south to the north, as long as Ming Ye Suoji sent troops now, he would definitely be able to annihilate the Mon people in one fell swoop and regain the territory.
Ming Ye Suoji was skeptical of this, and still wondered if this was a joint plan between the Mon people and the Ming Dynasty to deceive him, and at this time his subordinates sent him a piece of information-
The 30,000 Mon troops who had been confronting the army of Ming Yesaji for many years suddenly moved south on a large scale, and the spies they sent came back to report that it was because the south needed the support of the army to fight in the war, so the Mon army in the north went south, and as for whether it was true, the spies said that it was very likely.
The actions of those barbarians were very panicked, many things were thrown away, and they acted as if they were just for speed, and they didn't think about anything else at all, and many fortifications were ignored, and now there was no army of the Mon people on the entire front.
Ming Ye Suoji was still suspicious, and personally took Yuan Huang's envoy to the front line to check, and found that it was true at a glance, many of the fortifications that made Ming Ye Suoji very distressed before were not garrisoned by the Mon people, and the Mon army that confronted them in the past was gone.
It's true?
"Does the king still doubt the sincerity of my Ming Dynasty? If this is done just to deceive, or if the king thinks it is to deceive, then I will not say anything, I will go back, and the Ming does not need an ally who cannot judge the truth or falsehood. ”
When the envoy was in a tangle with Mingyesaji's judgment, he added a sentence at this very opportune time, which instantly made the balance in Mingyesaji's heart unbalanced.
To be honest, he didn't want to trouble Akbar, who knows if Akbar would leave after he sent someone? Compared with Akbar, who knows his roots, these Chinese who are not familiar with life are more reliable.
Sleeping next to a tiger is really a bit dangerous, but if you sleep between two tigers, ordinary people may collapse, but Ming Yesaji has found an unexpected life.
The tricky thing that made Akbar feel tricky before was the in-depth cooperation with the Portuguese, they cooperated with the Portuguese, equipped with sophisticated firearms, and trained well-trained troops, which repeatedly made Akbar feel embarrassed, but now this advantage no longer exists after Xiao Ruxun's strong rise.
The elite army lost most of its strength in the three-year war, and the Portuguese fled to Burma to seek refuge with Xiao Ruxun......
Then the current vitality exists in the special position of Arakan, this mountain does not tolerate two tigers, their own position is so special, whether it is the Chinese or the Mughals want to annex themselves, they must consider each other, so as to cast a rat bogey, and they are not unable to leave and right.
This is also a helpless way for a small country to survive, otherwise can you count on Akbar's kindness?
For now, it is better to try the credibility and weight of these Chinese, and if you can, you can not communicate with them in depth, and use them as a help to counter the threat of the Mughals.
As for whether the meaning of these Chinese is sincere, whether the sudden appearance of the Meng people is true, and whether there is another reason for the repeated setbacks in the previous wars, Ming Yejiji does not want to think about it.
As a result, Ming Yesaji agreed to the request of Yuan Huang's envoy, organized the army, and prepared to cooperate with the military operations of the Ming army to gradually recover the lost land.
