……
At the end of the day, Ma Xianglin's Zhang Fengyi led an army of 10,000 from the southeast gate of Ava City suddenly, the soldiers were divided into two ways to set fire to the city, the houses of Ava City are mostly wooden structures, the effect of arson can be imagined, less than an hour, as if the entire Ava City was burning, the fire was so strong, the entire Ava City was burned as if it was day.
The noise, cries, and wails in the city resounded, and the Donghu people also wanted to stop the Ming army from setting fire, but this was simply impossible, although Donghu had a small number of cavalry, but the cavalry of Donghu was not a grade at all compared to the Ming army. The entire city of Ava was in chaos.
"The general trend has gone, the general trend has gone!" King Talon saw the fire in heaven and wailed.
"King, the defense of the Ming army in the south of the city is extremely weak, and the people and soldiers have fled from the south of the city, the king, why don't you also be wronged, pretend to be the people and escape at night." The guard suggested.
"Donghu is dead in my hands, and I swear to live and die together in Donghu." King Theron resolutely said.
"King, Bagu is still there, and I haven't died yet." The guard persuaded. In this era, due to the influence of Zhu Youxiao's butterfly effect, after King Talong succeeded to the throne, he moved the capital from Bago to Ava not long after.
"Surround the three queyi, it looks like a way of life, but it is actually a dead end, but as long as I am still in the palace, the Ming army will definitely not pursue the fleeing people for the time being, you wait for the queen and others to be sent safely to Bagu, I will wait here for the arrival of the Ming army." King Taron said firmly.
"Yes, King!" The guard said.
……
First of all, the people of Ava City fled from the south gate in a hurry, and then the army of Donghu also began to flee, and the fire burned so vigorously that the Siamese army could not immediately expand the victory. The royal family of Donghu also disguised themselves as ordinary people, and under the protection of the guards, they escaped from Ava City among the civilians.
It was not until the end of the day, when the fire was a little smaller, that the Siamese army began to clear the remnants of the Donghu forces in the city. At this time, the Ming army also began to enter the city, and at this time there were still a large number of Donghu people in the city who had no time to escape. Only now they have lost the chance to escape.
The massacre had already begun, and the Siamese army, which had begun to do so, was stimulated by the Siamese army, and the Ming army also joined it, burning, killing, looting, raping and plundering at this time everywhere in the city of Ava. Xu Chengming and others did not deliberately suppress it, it has been more than two months since the army entered Donghu, and the soldiers also need to vent at this moment.
And Ma Xianglin's 10,000 dragoons have not only blocked the entire palace, but also controlled the entire palace. At this time, King Talong was unwilling to be humiliated and had committed suicide by taking poison.
"General, I took a closer look, except for King Talong, who has committed suicide by poisoning, the rest of the royal family has escaped from Ava." Bodao said.
"Where do you think these people will flee?" Xu Chengming asked.
"One is Bago, the other is Arakan, of which Bago is the most likely." Bodao said.
"After three days of repairing in Ava, the troops are solid." Xu Chengming said.
"No."
"Lord Wang, your army doesn't need to go to Bagu, you can help our army capture slaves now." Xu Chengming said.
"Yes, General." King Baseton said respectfully.
……
Neither the Ming army nor the Siamese army were stationed in the city, and the current city of Ava could not be inhabited at all, except for the royal palace, most of the rest of the place was burned to ruins, and the city was already full of blood, and there were corpses everywhere, and it was impossible to live at all.
At this moment, Zhu Youxiao, who was in Beijing, had already received a battle report that the Ming army had defeated the Eastern Allied army in Anzheng Guocheng.
"In Anzheng Guocheng, our army defeated the 150,000 allied forces of Taungoo and Arakan with fewer victories, and it seems that the destruction of Taungoo is just around the corner." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty for building another immortal achievement!" Wen Tiren took the lead in congratulating.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty for building another immortal achievement!" Not to be outdone, the rest of the courtiers congratulated.
"During the Yuan Dynasty, the Burmese Central Province was established here, and I decided to set up the Burmese Central Chengxuan Political Envoy Department here, with jurisdiction over the former Diura Propaganda Department and the Burmese Propaganda Division." Zhu Youxiao said.
"How should the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Division and the Dagula Xuanwei Division be handled?" Sun Chengzong asked.
"The two Missionaries will merge to form a new Missionary Division, which will be called the Yangon Missionary Division." Zhu Youxiao said.
"Your Majesty, these four Xuanfu Divisions all belong to the Wild Land, so it is better to merge them into one Chengxuan Political Envoy Division." Bi Ziyan said.
Bi Aiqing's words are wrong, the land of these two provinces is fertile, the rain is abundant, the future grain output will definitely be much more than the grain output of Huguang, is the future granary of the empire, and in Yangon Province there are Lok Keng (i.e., Yangon), Badu Ma (i.e., Madu Ba), Ta Wei (i.e., Dawa), Tanasiri (i.e., Tanah Sarin) and other ports, and the grain of these two provinces can be directly transported to the empire by sea. Moreover, tens of thousands of imperial civilians have gathered in these places, and the matter of immigration is much less difficult in these two provinces than in other places, and I decided to sell the land in these two provinces to the people of the empire. Zhu Youxiao explained.
"This southern expedition, the treasury has spent a lot of money, Your Majesty will sell the land to supplement the treasury, and the royal division is about to go north after the gold, the cost will be more, and the treasury can no longer support it." Sun Chengzong said.
"I have already made a decision on this matter, after the victory of this southern expedition, I will build a gallop road from Mubang to Luokeng, after all, these two provinces are too far away from the empire, to effectively control it, in addition to immigration, we also need convenient transportation, if something happens, my army must be able to reach the place of the incident as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao said.
"I think I should wait until the end of the Northern Expedition to consider this matter, after all, gold is the most important thing after the Northern Expedition." Sun Chengzong said.
"My master, I understand what you mean, you can rest assured that winning this battle will not only not cost the empire money, but will even bring huge wealth to the empire." Zhu Youxiao said.
"It's not easy to feed the war with war, Your Majesty must not take it lightly, after the last Northern Expedition, Jin almost exhausted the treasury and internal funds." Sun Chengzong said.
"After the Northern Expedition, Jin is different from the Southern Expedition to Donghu, the Southern Expedition to Donghu is definitely a money-making business, and my master will definitely know about it in the future." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
"Does the Cabinet need to appoint the governors and other officials of the two places at once?" Sun Chengzong asked. Sun Chengzong saw Zhu Youxiao's confident appearance, and knew that this matter should be eight or nine.
"Officials must be appointed immediately, and I will complete the land sale in the two provinces by the middle of next year." Zhu Youxiao said.
