It's just that the traditional thieves' dens of pirates are in the Andaman Islands and Nicobar Islands, not in Motama Bay, near the coast of Myanmar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But O's soldiers still let the warship come here and enter the port of Yangon. Obviously, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink!

When the coastline became clearer, from afar, Ou Ziwen saw Yangon's landmark building, the Shwedagon Pagoda.

Before he came, he had read the relevant historical materials of Yangon. It is known that the Golden Pagoda was built in 585 A.D. and was only 20 meters high at the beginning. Later, it was renovated many times, and a lot of gold and precious stones were used. By 1774, King Annaopaya's son, King Sinphyushin, had raised the pagoda to 112 meters.

The entire base of the pagoda has a circumference of 427 meters and is paved with real gold bricks, which are then covered with masonry. And at the top of the tower, a finely crafted metal eaves were placed. There are 1,065 gold lings and 420 silver bells hanging on the side. It is also inlaid with 7,000 rare red and sapphire diamond balls.

It is estimated that the tower weighs at least 7,000 kilograms.

There are also 68 smaller towers around the Golden Pagoda, built of wood or stone. Some resemble bells, others resemble ships, and they are of different shapes.

Yangon City was first built around the Shwedagon Pagoda, which is the origin of Yangon City!

Before 2,500 years, it was a fishing village of the Mon people, called Ogaraba. In the 11th century, it was changed to Daiko. Sanskrit means 'Sangang Village'.

In 1755, the Emperor Yong of the Gongbang Dynasty occupied Daguang and unified Burma. Climb the Shwedagon Pagoda in Ruiguang, bow and pray for the elimination of military disasters and eternal peace. The name of the Great Light was changed to Yangon.

In Burmese, the word 'Yangon' means that the enemy has gone out, representing the end of the war.

It's a pity that this good wish is just a dream after all!

Although Ou Ziwen really wanted to dismantle the Shwedagon Pagoda, melt it into gold, and transport it back to Daming. But his intellect told him that it must not be done. After all, the navy came to Yangon only to deter Burma, and did not want to actually go to war.

So he moved the warships closer to Rangoon to increase the deterrent effect. At the same time, the caliber of the cannon was adjusted, and a few shuttle empty cannons were prepared to scare the Burmese.

At this time, more and more Burmese people on the beach noticed the behemoth of the sea. Since Ming merchant ships often docked at Yangon Harbor, they were no strangers to this kind of smoky sea vessel. It's just that warships are larger and have more guns than merchant ships. It looks more majestic and mighty.

It's like a moving hill.

In particular, these ships do not stop at the port, but instead head towards the beach. Let the Burmese people on the shore be even more curious.

It didn't take long for the beach to be crowded with black pressurs.

Ou Ziwen also ordered the cannon to be fired at this time!

Then I heard a bang, and the rumbling cannon suddenly resounded in the heavens and the earth. All of a sudden, it overshadowed the hustle and bustle on the shore. Immediately afterwards, several cannons rang out again, and the people who were still watching just now. Immediately make birds and beasts and scatter.

They also did not look at whether the fleet had empty guns, and shouted in horror 'Escape'. As a result, the city of Yangon, in a very short period of time, fell into panic. Some houses near the sea were also shaken. It has aggravated people's panic.

So the people of Yangon City rushed to run inland, causing chaos and constant crying.

The lord of Yangon City also sent people to row a small boat and hold a white flag, board the battleship, and ask the reason for the Ming shelling. The answer was to chase the pirates, don't think about it.

This made the city lord half angry!

After all, how can anyone fire an empty cannon at a pirate? And as the lord of the city, isn't it clear where there are pirates? Besides, even if there is, it won't be able to fire empty cannons at Yangon City, right? And on the sea, except for the warships of the Ming Dynasty, there is not even a small wooden boat. Not to mention pirates!

Isn't this an obvious lie?

But thinking about it, he was angry, and he really let him argue and theorize with Daming, but he still didn't dare. So send a messenger to inform the king of the situation here. He also urged the sailors stationed in Yangon to negotiate with the Ming Navy.

But the Burmese sailor knows his catties! Against ordinary pirates, it might be okay. But against the Ming Navy, there is only the share of going to the sea to feed the fish. Therefore, the urging of the city lord fell on deaf ears.

It wasn't until the Ming navy was gone that the Burmese sailors ran out to walk around decently. Put a few rounds of artillery, kill a few whales, and return to the sailor camp with a full harvest. Then he said to the above that the Ming warship only fired a few rounds of empty guns under the negotiation of the naval division, and then left in disgrace.

The meaning of this changed in an instant.

A few days later, the Burmese king Meng Yun learned of this. Without saying a word, he summoned the Ming ambassador to Burma. At first, he made a painful accusation with a calm face and righteous indignation, expressing strong dissatisfaction. But because of Daming's strength, he didn't dare to scold. As a result, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty only said lightly to pursue the pirates, and then said no more. That arrogant attitude made Meng Yun angry.

But he didn't dare to turn his face! Because he knew that the Ming shelling near Yangon was just a gesture, a deterrent. The purpose was to remind Burma not to reconcile with Britain behind the back of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in order to avenge the murder of his son and dominate the Indochina Peninsula, he very much wanted to reconcile with Britain and gain British support. Because Siam is a stubborn rock blocking Burma's eastward advance, if it is not overthrown, it will not be able to move eastward, unify Indochina Peninsula, and achieve supreme greatness.

Speaking of which, Meng Yun was also stimulated by Da Ming. Seeing that in just five years, it has established a vast Ming Kingdom at the speed of whale swallowing. So my eyes are red and my heart is hot, and I want to keep up with the footsteps of Daming.

Not to mention surpassing the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is half of the achievements of the Ming Dynasty, he will be satisfied.

Of course, he can also swing westward and take India. After all, compared to the territory east of Siam, India has a much larger territory. But he's not stupid! I know that Britain, like the Ming Dynasty, is a country founded on industry, a rich country with business, and a strong country with strong ships and artillery. The strength is not weak, not so easy to mess with.

In particular, the price to be paid in the struggle with Britain for the territory of East Bengal is too great. Not only did they kill and wound more than 500,000 Burmese soldiers. The local population has also plummeted by half. The treasury also consumed six or seven percent.

Now there are complaints in Myanmar.

This made him understand that it was extremely unwise to continue to fight the British. Therefore, on the premise that Britain was willing to give up East Bengal, he was also willing to sign a reconciliation treaty, extinguishing his ambition to go west.

And in his heart, he also thinks that the area east of Siam is much better than India. After all, the people in India look different from the Burmese and believe in Hinduism. It is fundamentally different from the Buddha in Myanmar. In the west, Siam, Chenla and other countries all believe in Buddhism, and they look similar to the Burmese, which is easy to assimilate.

In comparison, the area east of Siam is easier to rule.

So after thinking about it carefully, Meng Yun had to send a message to the head of the Myanmar consulate in Johor Bahru. scolded him for his incompetence and ordered him to do his duty to appease Daming. (To be continued.) )
