The guns of the British made it difficult for the Burmese army, armed with broadswords and spears, to match. The cities that originally belonged to the Arakan Kingdom were being recovered by the Anglo-Argentine coalition army one by one, and the momentum of the Arakan king Duren Ratti was getting bigger and bigger, and a large number of rebels were defecting to the command of Duron Ratti, making Duron Ratti's power more and more huge, and in just over a month, the Arakan King [***] team, which originally had only more than 10,000 rabble, actually swelled to 30,000 people, and it is still increasing.

The Burmese Mengyun King is now angry to no avail, he had to give an order again, and originally thought that he could easily capture the city of Baoshan, the Burmese army that had been advancing all the way finally met resistance, the 120,000 army, turned over the siege, but the strong and well-defended Baoshan City stood still, and the artillery on the head of the Baoshan city was not inferior or even surpassed the Burmese army, making the Burmese army even more helpless.

By this time, one of the British troops had reached the city of Minwu in Magway Province, almost one step away from Magway City, the seat of Namagway Province.

The voices that originally strongly supported the Northern Expedition have become smaller and smaller by this moment, and the voices that advocate going south to quell the rebellion are getting louder and louder, after all, if Magway City is lost, then those damned rebels can even enter Mandalay, the capital of Burma. At that time, it will be too late to transfer troops south.

Although King Meng Yun was reluctant to spit out the meat that had reached his mouth, the situation in the south was already precarious, and the frightened and angry King Meng Yun had to give an order, ordering the governor of Maradu, who led the army on the northern expedition, to transfer another 50,000 troops to help, and the rest of the soldiers and horses retreated to the occupied Longling and other places to stand for reinforcements. After the rebellion in the south was put down, Xu Tubaoshan and other places.

The reason why King Meng Yun is so confident is because the British supported them with all the firearms used in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and now, all of them have been transferred to the south, and both sides have firearms, and the Burmese army is outnumbered, how can it be invincible? At least King Meng Yun has already made a decision through gritted teeth, and when he breaks through Muhang and catches the remnant of the Arakan royal family, Duren Ladu, he must use an elephant to trample this guy to death to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

And at the very moment when King Meng Yun sent troops from all the states and provinces of Burma to the south, and made up his mind to teach the capricious, despicable and shameless British, and the damned remnants of Arakan, the situation in the north was secretly undergoing earth-shaking changes.

As early as the beginning of the Burmese military mobilization, the Tusi and tribal leaders of Kachin State and Shan State were secretly in contact with some people of unknown origin during this period, and when Burma mobilized a large army to attack Yunnan, and began to collect grain, grass and materials in Kachin State, Shan State and other places nearby, these decades, every war, has caused Kachin State and Shan State, the two Burmese territories adjacent to Yunnan, to suffer countless suffering. Tribal leaders could only watch as their homeland became a battlefield for Burma and the Qing army.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Now, the Burmese army is marching north again, and the food and various supplies needed by more than 100,000 troops have to be requisitioned from Kachin State and Shan State to the same number of people, which makes the complaint even heavier. However, this time, although the scale of the war was unprecedented, it did not cause the turmoil in Kachin and Shan States as before, and the leading governor Marat thought that the Tusi and tribal leaders of the two states were finally much more knowledgeable than before, but in fact what he did not expect was that after he sent troops to loot the grain and grass of the Tusi and tribes, a large amount of grain was quietly delivered to the hands of these Tusi and tribes from Yunnan.

When the news came that the Anglo-Afghan army had begun to invade the Rakhine region of southern Burma, a large number of unidentified troops quietly entered the Kachin and Shan states of Burma from Yunnan and gathered in the sparsely populated northern Kachin State and the eastern Shan State with the help of local Tusi and tribal leaders.

Like two blood-eating beasts lurking in the primeval jungle, quietly hiding behind the trees, staring at the prey that grazes and drinks leisurely by the water stream, as long as the time is right, they will mercilessly jump out of cover and tear their prey to pieces with their razor-sharp claws.

To the east of the Kingdom of Burma, when the founder of the Chokri Dynasty, who had lost half of his country, bowed down to the Manchu Dynasty in the past, the Siamese king Chao Piye Chokri, who claimed to be Zheng Hua, the son of Zheng Xin, was filled with a shadow of despair in his heart.

Since he accepted Nguyen Phuc Anh, the king of the Southern Dynasty of Annam, the former rival and now the king of the fallen country, bad luck seems to have begun to befall Siam, first a large number of Chinese troops appeared in small countries such as Nanzhang in the north, and then, in the south, the port state that was annexed by Siam and Annam began to advance northward, and now the Kingdom of Cambodia, which has no monarch in power, is not at all an opponent of the army of the Chinese Empire, which has been plotting for a long time.

In less than three months, the new king of Cambodia was enthroned under the canonization of the Chinese Empire. After that, he bowed to the Chinese Empire and returned all the land that had belonged to the port state.

One country after another on the Indochina Peninsula bowed to the Chinese Empire, and began to vigorously promote Sinology in their respective countries, and those Chinese opened Sinology schools in a big way, and the Chinese accounted for a large proportion of the military and officials of these countries, except for Burma and Siam.

However, just a year ago, the puppet emperor of Annam issued an order to conquer Siam, and after that, the port state, the Kingdom of Cambodia and Laos responded together, with Li Dashuang, the governor of Annam, as the commander, leading the four-nation alliance army of more than 80,000 people, and began the invasion of Siam.

Siam was attacked on three sides, covering and blocking on the left, and Chao Phrathaya Chokri led his army to eat milk, but it was still defeated, and the territory of eastern and northern Thailand was gradually encroached upon by the combined forces of these countries.

And half a year ago, after Liang Pengfei, the actual controller of Annam and the owner of Nanyang, began to attack the Manchu Empire, the pressure on Siam was much lighter.

directly ordered Ruan Fuying and his son to be slaughtered, and presented the head to Li Dashuang's camp, and presented a large number of gifts and tribute letters, claiming that he was willing to pay tribute to the Chinese Empire as he had said in the past, and was willing to be a subordinate of Tibet.

The governor neither agreed nor refused, but the momentum of the offensive was temporarily halted, which made Chao Pi Ye Chokri secretly relieved in his heart, but what he did not expect was that just a month ago, a stern letter was placed in front of Narama I Zhao Pi Ye Chokri.

It was an ultimatum from Liang Pengfei, who had overthrown the Manchu dynasty and become the supreme ruler of the Chinese Empire.

The reason is very simple, that is, Zhao Piye Chokri, this Rama I, actually dared to deceive the great, noble, and supreme authority of the head of the Chinese Empire (before he ascended the throne as emperor, Liang Moumou was called).

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In the letter, all the things that Chao Pi Ye Chokri had been deliberately concealing were listed.

First of all, Chao Pi Ye Chokri was a usurper, he was only a subordinate general of the former Siamese king Zheng Xin, and after killing the emperor and usurping the throne, he assumed the name of Zheng Hua, the son of Zheng Xin.

Secondly, Chao Pi Ye Chokri not only slaughtered Zheng Xin's entire family, but also wantonly slaughtered the Chinese generals and officials in Siam.

Because Zheng Xin, who was born in Chinese, established himself as the king, there were many Chinese troops under his command, and a large number of Chinese generals emerged, which made great contributions to Zheng Xin's creation of the Thonburi Dynasty, and then, many Chinese became Siam's generals and officials, so that the Chinese gained a lot of privileges in Siam, and the status of the Chinese in Siam was booming, and a large number of people on the southeast coast of China poured into Siam in large numbers, known as the royal Chinese.

All this led to the dissatisfaction of many of the former Siamese nobles who had lost power. After killing Zheng Xin, in order to curry favor with the Siamese nobles and at the same time eliminate the Chinese power in the country, he began to raise his butcher's knife against a large number of Chinese officials and generals.

Later, Liang Pengfei pointed out in the letter that after Zheng Xin's son Zhaoshui was imprisoned, three of his sons escaped from Siam under the cover of his confidants and retainers.

He was a usurper with an unjustified name, a murderer of the Chinese, and a bandit with strong ambitions for the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Therefore, Liang Pengfei finally pointed out that either Zhao Pi Ye Chokri led the crowd to surrender and welcomed Zheng Xiong as the emperor, Zhao Pi Ye Chokri's father and son apologized for their crimes, and his grandson was a monk, and the Chinese Empire could consider letting go of Zhao Pi Ye Chokri's lineage, otherwise, what was waiting for Zhao Pi Ye Chokri would be the whole family!

After receiving this letter, Chopiye Chokri locked himself up in his dormitory for three days, and no one was seen. And after the letter was sent.

In addition to the original coalition of several countries, an army composed of Chinese was added, known as: Siam Thonburi Dynasty Fu [***], and the nominal commander of this army was Zheng Xiong, the grandson of Emperor Zheng Xin.

This army is completely armed to the teeth of the pure hot weapons elite troops, under the banner of the former Thonburi Dynasty, under the cover of the multinational coalition army, all the way forward, just over a month, Siam rescue [***] has broken several cities, tens of thousands of Siamese troops, are in front of this terrible elite army ashes, its forward, has arrived from the Siamese capital Bangkok only more than 300 miles of Prachin City, at this rate, at most five or six days, this so-called Siamese Thonburi Dynasty revived [***] will appear under the city of Bangkok.

In the south, the commander of the Chinese Empire's Nanyang Fleet, Zhang Xingba, led the Nanyang Fleet to wipe out all the Thai navy, and these huge ships with an outrageous number of guns have been cruising in the Gulf of Siam, desperately blocking the illusion of the Siamese court fleeing south.
