Chapter 174: Assassination (3) - Mon

Since the end of the Nanyang War, after the Ming Dynasty vigorously supported Burma, the relationship between Ming and Burma has been extremely close. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info between the two sides, trade restrictions have been completely relaxed. Personnel exchanges have also been facilitated a lot.

It's just that in the actual trade exchanges, a large number of Daming commodities are dumped in Myanmar one-sidedly. From common household items such as pots and pans, to luxury goods such as jewelry. Food, clothing, and drink. As long as Daming can produce it, it will be sold to Myanmar in one go.

Because of the low price and high quality, and not subject to the official restrictions of Myanmar, it has conquered the Myanmar commodity market in a very short period of time. This has played a big role in the economic growth of Daming.

In the future, such a trade situation will certainly cause Myanmar to be wary. But for now, it is King Meng Yun who controls Burma. He was keen on military expansion and didn't care much about economic development. Therefore, there is not enough attention to the occupation of the domestic market by Daming goods.

It is precisely for this reason that there is basically no conflict of interest between Daming and Myanmar.

But now, the assassination of the Burmese prince still happened in the Ming Dynasty, which has always had better public security. This will certainly have an impact on Ming-Myanmar relations.

So when Zhang Yang came to the presidential palace, the staff were all cautious. When I entered Yang Chong's office, a choking smell of smoke immediately hit my face.

Luo Bin, the director of the police department, came before Zhang Yang, and when he saw him, he showed a wry smile. Looking at Yang Chong's gloomy face again, it was obvious that the situation was not right.

Letting Zhang Yang sit down, Yang Chongcai said to Luo Bin very dissatisfied: "There are so many policemen, and they can even assassinate the Burmese prince!" Are you all asleep? Yes? And let the assassins get in, don't you all check in detail when you choose people? The tone was very heavy, and the eardrums that shook Zhang Yang were a little painful.

In this bicycle race, Luo Bin's police department was responsible for the whole process. There was a problem with this security, and he was the first to be held responsible. This is also the reason why Yang Chong asked Zhang Yang to sit down, but let Luo Bin stand.

Zhang Yang watched from the sidelines, a little surprised. Because it was the first time he had seen Yang Chong angry!

And Luo Bin was yelled at by Yang Chong, and he couldn't hold it on his face. Stubbornly said: "President, please give me time, I will definitely find out." ”。 Recently, the number of immigrants has increased, and the public order in Mingjing City has deteriorated, and he is busy with it. But I have to be in charge of the security of the bicycle race, so I can't take care of it. Moreover, he did not know in advance that the Burmese prince would compete. Otherwise, it will definitely keep the police on the lookout.

But this is not a reason to shirk, so he does not defend it.

Such an attitude made Yang Chong slightly satisfied. The tone softened a lot, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you have a headache for public security, and I understand your difficulties. But the Burmese prince had such a thing in Daming, and the impact was too bad. ”。 This serious tone made Luo Bin feel a little guilty. After all, Yang Chong put his trust in him by entrusting him with the bicycle race.

Seeing that he blamed himself, Yang Chong couldn't bear to be too harsh, and continued: "Now I let you go and investigate, and I won't hold you accountable for your fault and responsibility." If you don't find out, then you don't have to stay in the position of the police chief. ”。

Then he explained to Zhang Yang and asked him to lead the Intelligence Department and fully cooperate with Luo Bin in the investigation of the case.

According to the process, the first step is to check the identity of the assassin. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's household registration system was implemented well, and the assassin's body was easier to identify, so it was quickly found. It was confirmed that the three assassins were all Burmese immigrants who entered the Ming Dynasty in 92 and had clean identities. He usually works in the factory, is hardworking and steadfast, and is more loyal. They were able to become volunteers precisely because they performed well.

As for the motive, it is still related to their identity as a Mon people. In 1740, the Mon people of Lower Burma revolted and overthrew the Taungoo Dynasty. And supported a monk as the king, known as the Buddha Ji Di. Historically known as the 'Post-Bago Dynasty'.

But in 1757, it was destroyed by the Yongjiya Emperor of the Gongbang Dynasty. Since then, the Mon have become slaves of the dead state and have been severely assimilated by the Burmese. Although it is not so serious now, the situation of the Mon people in Myanmar is very miserable. Lower Burma, where they lived, was occupied by a large influx of Burmese immigrants. In desperation, they had to move to the deep mountains and old forests!

Many Mon people also fled to the Burma-Siam border, where they were sheltered by King Rama I of Siam. Although under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty, Siam reached a reconciliation with Burma, and strictly controlled the local Mon people, and did not allow them to cause trouble. But I can't tell when, the Mon people will suddenly have a seizure. In that case, the reconciliation situation will fall apart.

The three assassins who assassinated the Burmese prince were none other than the Mon people of Lower Burma.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the human trafficking policy of Daming and Myanmar. Because the weapons sold by the Ming to Burma were very expensive, the Burmese king Meng Yun wanted to exchange them for something else. It just so happened that Daming was in dire need of population, so he reached a population deal with Meng Yun.

Among them, young men are 8 Chinese yuan, young and strong women are 5 Chinese yuan, children under the age of 15 are 2 Chinese yuan, and the elderly are not among the purchases. If you buy more, Myanmar will give some more, and Daming will also give more weapons accordingly.

Such a way of making money made Meng Yun very happy. So he asked his army to vigorously attack the hostile ethnic minorities on the grounds of rebellion and rebellion. This Meng tribe, because they often rebel, was listed as the first-class target.

In this way, a large number of Mon people, like slaves, were escorted by Burmese soldiers and sent on merchant ships bound for Daming. The scene was similar to driving livestock. As a result, within two or three years, the Mon people in Lower Burma were almost extinct.

As a result, Myanmar has received significant arms assistance and has also addressed the Mon threat.

Now in the territory of Daming, there are more than 400,000 Meng people. It accounts for eighty percent of the entire Mon population. In Mingjing alone, there are as many as 20,000 people. Judging from the total population of more than 500,000 in Mingjing, the proportion of the Meng people is not low.

Although they were bought by Daming, Daming was also good to them. As long as you work for two years under the arrangement of Daming, you can get free. Then, like other immigrants, you can apply for Daming's national status.

So now the Meng people in the Ming Dynasty are living well.

It's just that the hatred of destroying the country and the shame of the death of the clan are deeply engraved in the minds of the Meng people. Without the dilution of three or five generations, it cannot be worn out.

It can be inferred from this that their assassination of the Burmese prince is also plausible.

But here comes the problem again! With just three of them, it is impossible to bring knives into the ring. After all, the police department had inspected it in detail at that time. And in consideration of safety, Daming kept the Burmese prince strictly confidential in advance. Even the Sports Division, which hosts the event, and the Police Division, which is in charge of security, don't know. So how did the Assassin know the news? How did you come up with such a tight curve attack plan?

It seems that there are a lot of twists and turns in this!
