Chapter 241: The Peace of Johor Bahru (2) -- The Beacon Fire Is Extinguished

Meng Yun was unwilling to back down at all on the point of being a vassal country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After all, Myanmar has been a regional power on the Indochina Peninsula for thousands of years. He thought that he was invincible except for the Qing Kingdom. How can I endure the small state that I have always been subordinate to, and I am on an equal footing with myself.

Before ceding danasarin, it was a last resort. This makes the small country ride on the head, and it is a naked, naked, naked humiliation.

Therefore, the envoys of the Burmese side to the negotiations expressed a very tough attitude. He was even willing to raise troops and fight a big war with Manipur and Assam. Because although Myanmar was defeated, it was not a big defeat, and the confidence is still there. After the retreat of Siam, hundreds of thousands of troops trapped in Lower Burma were already on their way back.

Manipur and Assam are also afraid of the threat of Myanmar. After holding on for a few days, he relented.

In the end, under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty, the two states were willing to submit to Myanmar, but Myanmar could not interfere in the internal affairs of the states.

Except for the new king, who ascended the throne and accepted the canonization of Burma. and the annual tribute, the amount of which is halved at will. The rest has nothing to do with Myanmar.

And in the border areas of the two sides, no troops of more than 2,000 people can be deployed. The Burmese army is even more forbidden to station troops in countries with which it has diplomatic relations.

In the case of invasion by a foreign enemy, which threatens the security of the countries with which we have diplomatic relations. It shall be implemented in accordance with the provisions of the "Three Kingdoms of Ming-Siam-Burma Johor Bahru Alliance".

There's a general sphere of influence. Assam and Manipur, since they are subject states of Burma, are of course also in the sphere of influence and are protected by the Triple Pact. That foreign enemy, as anyone with a discerning eye can see, refers to Britain.

This is consistent with the enemies mapped by the Covenant.

It was on the basis of this pact that Manipur and Assam were emboldened not to accept Burmese garrisons.

Later, the peace treaty between the three parties was also signed in Xinshan, Daming. The time was a week later than the Siam-Burma Peace Treaty. The names are "The Peace Treaty of Burman-Johor Bahru" and "The Peace Treaty of Burma-Afghanistan Johor Bahru" respectively.

This was followed by anti-Burmese forces in the Arakan region.

Since this place was an independent Arakan dynasty ten years ago, it was not long before it was incorporated into Myanmar. So the situation is more complicated. It also takes a long time to process.

At the beginning, the Burmese side did not want to negotiate reconciliation with Kim Bin at all. After all, Jin Bin made too much noise, not only killing so many Burmese troops, but also slaughtering so many Burmese. As a result, many Burmese people are more hateful to the Arakanese.

In the Upper Burma region, there have been a number of cases of Arakanese being beaten to death by Burmese. The Burmese court also intends to let the Burmese people vent their anger. Hence the indifference and indifference. As a result, the Arakan people in Upper Burma have become rats crossing the streets, and everyone shouts and beats them.

It also deepened the enmity between the Arakanese and the Burmese.

If the Burmese side reaches a settlement with Kim Bin, it will occupy the opposite side of the Burmese people. And the ruling basis of the Gongbang Dynasty was the Burmese people of the same language and race. Therefore, this kind of thing that deviates from the will of the people, the Burmese king Meng Yun, is obviously not allowed.

And the civil strife in Myanmar, it was also Kim Bin who led the Arakan people to come out first. The formation of a situation of all responses, so that the surrounding areas of Myanmar are full of smoke.

It is said that the gun shoots the first bird, and the Burmese side also intends to defeat the anti-Burmese forces entrenched in Arakan. This good show of killing chickens and monkeys also just deters those who have just been patient.

The army that had now withdrawn from Lower Burma had reached the east of the Rakhine Mountains, in the lower reaches of the Inovady River. A big war, on the verge of breaking out.

This is undoubtedly a dark cloud for Kim Bin, who established the new Arakan Dynasty.

He was first outraged by the perfidy of Assam and Manipur. In the case of discussing the advance and retreat of the Communist Party, he took the first step to negotiate peace with the Burmese court, and regarded Arakan as the chicken that killed the chicken and set an example for the monkey.

You know, he dared to rebel before. First, the British has supported them for many years, and some family backgrounds. The second is the temporary and vigorous support of the Ming Dynasty. sent some elite soldiers to blend in with his rebel army and help him annihilate the Burmese army in Arakan. Otherwise, he would not have been able to capture Arakan so quickly. Third, Siam defeated Burma and was unable to care about Arakan.

It is a pity that in the treatment of captives and Burmese, he went against the Ming Dynasty's opposition to the massacre. So that Daming is no longer so enthusiastic about supporting him now. Britain was also cold to him because of his previous rebellion. Siam had already negotiated peace, and the army had left Burma's borders.

When the army arrived in Arakan, he felt a deep sense of fear and powerlessness. Because he knew his own catties and knew that without the support of other countries and the intervention of external forces, it would be difficult for his miscellaneous rebel army to resist the imperial army.

So he begged Daming even harder and wrote a blood letter to express his remorse. and is willing to become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, just to help him. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty is not really willing to see Arakan re-incorporated into Burma, otherwise how will the ambush against British India be arranged in the future.

So after a few excuses, he pretended to be moved by Jin Bin's sincerity and was willing to help.

This made Kim Bin overjoyed! It's like a man who has fallen into the water, suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw. I am more grateful to Da Ming, and I hugged Da Ming's thighs even harder. Because he knows that Da Ming's thighs are the strongest.

So Daming, through the Intelligence Department, leaked the marching route and military strength of the Burmese officers and troops to Jin Bin in advance. Let it be targeted, and set up an ambush and destroy the enemy.

and sold a batch of firearms imitating Britain to Jin Bin. Let him increase the strength of the army at the same time, and create the illusion that Britain supports him.

As a result, on January 21, 1796, the rebel army led by Kim Bin entered the pass area of the Rakhine Mountains in Arakan west of Beyi, laid an ambush, and defeated the Burmese army.

After losing his troops, the Burmese king Meng Yun had to have some scruples and admit the facts. Send envoys who are willing to negotiate with Kim Bin on reconciliation.

At this time, Da Ming intervened as a good man.

Under the circumstance that Da Ming communicated with Jin Bin in advance, the reconciliation went smoothly.

First, Kim Bin made concessions and accepted the fact that Arakan belonged to Burma. He also promised to ensure the personal safety of the Burmese in the territory of Arakan. The massacre and murder of the Burmese was attributed to the military disaster. It can be regarded as an official change in the attitude towards the Burmese people.

The Burmese king named Kim Bin the highest administrator of the Arakane region. The local military and political affairs are basically in charge of Jin Bin. The appointment of officials is also decided by Kim Bin. However, the list of relevant personnel should be reported to the Burmese court.

As a result, Arakan enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and became a small independent kingdom. Only on the bright side, it is still a province of Myanmar.

At this point, the Burmese beacon fire was finally extinguished.

When it is rekindled, it will probably be a different situation. (To be continued.) )
