Chapter Ninety-Eight: Mubang's Great Victory

Of course, not all Burmese soldiers only know how to run out, and Aung Nai Win is much smarter, and he is organizing people to guard the city gates and wait for the Ming army to enter the city. And Han Feng saw that the city gate was opened by the Burmese army, and he was also organizing people to fight back, but unfortunately until the Ming army entered the city, they could not snatch the city gate from the Burmese army.

"Into town." Xiong Tingbi ordered.

At this time, victory was already in sight, and the Dragon Teng Army rushed into Mubang City like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The whole city suddenly sounded, "surrender but not kill", "drop your weapons, kneel on the ground and hold your head" and other voices. In order to ensure that there were enough manpower to build roads and forts, Xiong Tingbi forbade the army to burn and loot after entering the city. He was ready to carry out the robbery in an orderly manner.

As soon as the Ming army entered the city, Han Feng retreated to Tusi Mansion with people, but there were only a few dozen people who followed Han Feng to retreat to Tusi Mansion.

Mubang City itself is not big, and in just one hour, the Longteng Army completely cleared all areas of Mubang City except for Tusi Mansion, and the Longteng Army also surrounded the entire Tusi Mansion.

"Drag the Tiger Squat Cannon here." Chen Si commanded. Chen Si didn't plan to attack, so he directly decided to use artillery bombardment.

After just one round of shelling, the entire Tusi Mansion was bombarded. By the time Chen Si led the people to rush in, except for a few people who were still alive, the others had already been killed by the artillery, and many people were still blown to pieces. Of course, Han Feng was just stunned, and he was pressed under his cronies and survived.

From now on, there will be no more Mubang military and civilian consolation envoys, and there will be one more Mubang Mansion in the Ming Dynasty. Regarding the handling of the Burmese army, Xiong Tingbi only released Dantuo and Aung Nai Wan and more than a dozen of their cronies, while the rest were all left by Xiong Tingbi to build roads and forts. Of course, Xiong Tingbi's reason was to wait for Zhu Youxiao's will.

For the handling of Mu Bang, Xiong Tingbi acted in full accordance with the rules, and the entire Mu Bang was ransacked by the Longteng Army, including the population, and the entire Mu Bang City was almost an empty city in less than half a month, except for the new army stationed here, there was no one else.

The Battle of Mubang, which was originally planned to end before November, was completely concluded in early October. And the new officials have not yet taken office, and the garrison of the change of defense has not yet arrived in Mubang, and now Wei Dazhong is busy with this matter almost every day.

In the first battle of Mubang, Xiong Tingbi captured nearly 15 people, including more than 20,000 school-age women, as well as a large amount of grain, silver, jewelry, and so on. Of course, I don't know if all this can support Wei Dazhong to complete the immigration to Mubang, as well as the construction of fortresses and gallops.

Wei Dazhong was already writing a chapter asking the emperor to allow Yunnan to use the tax to build roads, and Wei Dazhong also wanted to build a galloping road from Yunnan Mansion to Longchuan. Every time the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma used troops, Longchuan and other places always bore the brunt of the attack, and the construction of the gallop road from Yunnan Province to Longchuan was of great significance in the defense of northern Burma.

However, Wei Dazhong decided to put the matter of immigration in the most important position, now that the land annexation is very serious, and there are too many landless peasants, the completion of the resettlement can greatly reduce the burden of Wei Dazhong's governance of Yunnan. As for the fortress has already been built, and the construction of the Chi Road, Wei Dazhong put the position of this matter last, of course, the Longmu Chi Road is already ready to be built.

And the news of Mubang's victory was also sent to Jingshi by Xiong Tingbi's fast horse.

On October 17, in the afternoon, the Beijing Division ushered in the people who reported the victory of Mubang.

The news of Mubang's victory soon spread throughout the capital. Under the propaganda of Zhu Youxiao and in the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Mubang was undoubtedly a just battle for the Ming Dynasty.

"Mubang victory!"

"I thought it would take at least a year to end this war, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"How dare the light of the fireflies compete with the sun and the moon, under the crushing of His Majesty's new army, the thieves in the east will not flee without looking at the wind."

"The Burmese thieves have repeatedly invaded my Daming, deceived me Daming and no one, and now Your Majesty is the reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, and sooner or later the Burmese thieves will be completely eliminated."

"General Xiong should take advantage of the victory to pursue, directly attack Ava City, and completely wipe out this so-called Donghu Dynasty."

……

It is the influence of the "Ming Imperial Daily" that makes the people of the Ming Dynasty pay very much attention to and participate in the Mubang Campaign.

And Zhu Youxiao was also reading the battle report in the palace at this time. In the battle of Mubang, Zhu Youxiao knew that he would definitely win, even if Donghu poured out the strength of the whole country, Zhu Youxiao was confident that he would defeat Donghu, but it would take more and longer.

Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied with the performance of the Longteng Army in the Battle of Mubang, the casualties in this battle were about the same as Zhu Youxiao expected, and the entire Longteng Army suffered less than 5,000 casualties, of which 1,148 were killed.

And the time is shorter than Zhu Youxiao expected, Zhu Youxiao is also expected to end around November, he didn't expect Mu Bang to be so vulnerable.

"Pass on Feng Menglong." Zhu Youxiao ordered.

Zhu Youxiao once again planned to issue a supplement to the "Ming Imperial Daily" to report the battle to the people of the whole country. He knew that many people were paying close attention to the Battle of Mubang right now, and they were all eager to get the news of the Battle of Mubang. And what Zhu Youxiao wants is that in every future war, the people of the whole country can pay attention to it, participate in it, and support him.

"Your Majesty, I think there are some things that are not suitable for publication in the newspaper." Feng Menglong said.

"What's not right?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"For example, the forced conscription of the people of Mubang to build roads and forts, as well as the distribution of daughters-in-law to Ming bachelors." Feng Menglong suggested.

"Okay, just do what you want." Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said.

Now there are indeed many so-called guardians, and their so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality are effective even against those enemies who slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao's move will definitely cause them to attack. Even if Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, they will attack Zhu Youxiao without scruples to show their so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality. Zhu Youxiao also felt that he couldn't afford to have a war of words with such a person.

……

The battle of Mubang was finally won, and Zhu Youxiao now has to think about how to reward the meritorious soldiers and how to compensate the soldiers who died in battle. The monetary reward was directly vetoed by Zhu Youxiao, after the battle of Mubang, the Longteng Army rewarded silver according to military merits, and the least people could get a few taels of silver dollars, not to mention that Zhu Youxiao was not ready to reward everyone, he would only focus on rewarding a group of people.

"Baozhu, select a hundred talented palace maids from the palace, and I want them to marry." Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time and said.

"Marriage?" Zhang Yan asked in surprise. Giving marriage to a hundred palace maids at one time, Zhu Youxiao can be regarded as a precedent.
