Chapter 229: Burma Beacon Fire (2) --- Arakan
Next, the Burmese envoy also wants to negotiate the price. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but seeing that Magorny was tired and it was getting late, it was not good to stay longer, so he said goodbye and left.
After he was gone, Magorny stretched and smiled a little sarcastically.
Originally, he really didn't want to sell! But when he heard the threat from the Burmese envoy, he thought about it. Anyway, Britain has done a lot of work in Burma. As soon as the time comes, you can let Myanmar be in flames and take care of yourself.
At that time, Britain just didn't deliver warships, and Burma couldn't do anything!
That's why he agreed so happily, so that the Burmese secret envoy was stupidly stealing fun.
Of course, he rejoiced in his heart. After all, how can this deal be let go in vain if it doesn't lose money? And he has already thought about negotiating arms sales to Burma as soon as possible. In any case, Myanmar must first pay for the purchase of warships, and then sign a settlement treaty.
and then deliberately revealed the content of the reconciliation to the Ming Dynasty, making Myanmar and the Ming Dynasty drift apart. The Ming-Burma-Siamese Triple Alliance was completely broken.
Thinking like this, Magorny couldn't help but laugh out loud. After seeing the servant's strange eyes, he didn't blame it. Instead, he asked the servant to replace the black tea and pour the 53-year-old red wine.
At the same time, arrangements were made to inform the rebel forces in Myanmar. Let them be quiet first. Wait for the British Empire and Burma to negotiate, and then come out to make trouble. If it is bad for the British Empire, then be prepared to bear the wrath of the British Empire.
At this moment, the Burmese envoy must not have expected that he was self-righteous and soft, but he had so many calculations. Even the king of Burma, Meng Yun, could not have imagined that Britain had already laid so many traps in Burma.
This is also the sorrow of Myanmar! Joining forces with Britain, the leading boss of Western powers, is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Like the Nanyang countries, the smaller ones were almost all wiped out by the Western countries.
It seems that only by giving Myanmar a taste of its own taste can it be enlightened.
Daming also intended to make Myanmar suffer a little, so he pushed the boat along the way. At the time of the British operation, the forces of the Intelligence Division were mobilized. Secretly contact the rebel forces of all parties and increase support. However, unlike the British delay, Da Ming was trying his best to encourage them to stand up and make trouble early.
And there is only one condition! That is, who made the most trouble and put the most pressure on the Burmese Gongbang Dynasty. Then Daming will increase support for whom. Such conditions are very compatible with those rebel forces. After all, their ultimate idea was to do everything they could to weaken the strength of the Burmese Gongbang Dynasty. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to stand on their own.
As a result, by mid-September, in the Arakan region of southwestern Myanmar. The leader of the rebels, Kim Bin, was the first to stand up with great fanfare, ordering the Arakanese who disobeyed Burma to join the rebel army led by him and attack the local Burmese garrison.
And with lightning speed, he captured the capital of Arakan, Dante.
After that, the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, sweeping the whole territory of Arakan. More than 60,000 Burmese troops were stationed in life. Not a single prisoner, not a single surrender. As a result, there is no longer an organized Burmese garrison in Arakan. At the same time, the Burmese people living in Arakan were also subjected to extremely cruel and cruel retaliation, either without being tortured, tortured, humiliated to death, or hiding in the deep mountains and deserted islands, and survived, lingering, and breathing.
When there is a war between two ethnic groups, such a method is very common. After all, in this era, there is no humanitarianism, and there will be no idle country to point fingers at this.
After cleaning up the entire territory of Arakan, Kim Bin officially announced his independence from Myanmar's control! and led the army to cross the Rakhine Mountains in the north and harass the interior of Burma.
When the Burmese king Meng Yun learned of this, Lei Ting was furious. Immediately dispatched 200,000 troops to Arakan to suppress and extinguish the rebellion. And threatened to make the heads of all the rebels into a Jingguan.
In fact, this Arakane was originally an independent Arakanese dynasty, founded by the first monarch, the Moarhat, in 1433. The period from 1550 to 1666 was the height of the Arakan Dynasty, which not only joined forces with the Taungoo Dynasty to attack Baigu, but also invaded and occupied Salian.
In the eighteenth century, piracy was rampant and the country was in decline. Even the rise and fall of the king of Arakan was subject to the intervention of pirates.
Therefore, in 1785, the ministers of Arakan asked Meng Yun to annex Arakan to Burma. Since then, it has become part of Myanmar. In later generations, it was changed to Rakhine, and the Arakanese were changed to Rakhine.
Since the Arakanese region borders East Bengal, a large part of the Arakanese people were influenced by the religion of Is-Ran, and converted to Allah. Therefore, he could not bear Burma's policy of making Buddhism the state religion, so he fled in large numbers from Chittagong in East Bengal.
During their time in East Bengal, the British often united with rebel forces in Arakan to attack the Burmese garrison.
It wasn't until East Bengal was taken over by Burma that the Arakan people who believed in the I.S. Lan religion fled into British-controlled Dhaka.
This main leader, Jin Bin, is also the object of support from the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing the easing of relations between Myanmar and the British, Kim Bin also had doubts about the British. After Da Ming came to the door and put forward satisfactory conditions, he did not hesitate to throw himself into the arms of Da Ming. Later, with the help of the Ming Dynasty, he secretly returned to Arakan. Gather the rebel army and raise the banner of rebellion.
From ancient times to the present, the first person to eat crabs has always received a lot of attention. Therefore, Daming's support for Jin Bin is also unprecedented!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Jin Bin to achieve such brilliant results in such a short period of time!
Stimulated by this, Manipur and Assam, which were already not weak, also followed suit with the banner of rebellion. The entire northwestern and southwestern parts of Myanmar have been plunged into turmoil in just a few days.
The Thai settlements bordering Siam, later known as Shan State, were also instigated by Siam to openly rebel against Burma. Even in northern Burma, which borders the Qing state, the Tusi tacitly disobeyed the orders of the Burmese Gongbang Dynasty.
Such a situation is simply very good for Siam. And for Myanmar, it is an extremely huge blow. In the northern battlefield of the Battle of Siam-Burma, Siam won a great victory and Burma was defeated. In the Chiang Mai area, there is no Tatmadaw left.
Even pushed the front to the east bank of the Salween River in Burma.
In the southern theater, the situation is also extremely unfavorable for Myanmar. In particular, the local Thai people, both in terms of language and living habits, are very close to Siam. and the Burmese, on the contrary, there is a big gap. It has also changed hands many times throughout its history, and has often been a battleground between Myanmar and Siam.
Therefore, they often haunted the mountains and forests, led the way for the Siamese army, and attacked the scattered Burmese garrisons.
For a time, the rivers of Myanmar turned sharply, and the wind and rain were shaky. (To be continued.) )
