Chapter 50: Ultimatum
readx;?? Zhu Changyuan already knew that Hua Liang was the third lady of the Tokugawa family, and there was no need to continue to waste time, so he sent Hatoyama Jiro away, so he asked the eunuch to urgently invite the cabinet ministers to the side hall of the platform to discuss national affairs.

"Everyone, two things!"
Zhu Changyuan did not sit on the dragon chair, and the ministers of more than a dozen cabinets did not sit down, and the monarchs and ministers also stood under His Royal Highness, and Zhu Changyuan began to give orders.
"First, the cabinet plans to order Mu Tianbo to send troops to Annam, and under the banner of purging the powerful minister Zheng, be sure to send troops today to catch them off guard!"
This matter is reasonable, after all, Annan has just sent an envoy, and he would not have thought that Zhu Changyuan would order troops so quickly.
"Do you have any opinions?" Zhu Changyuan asked.
The ministers will definitely not have an opinion, because Zhu Changyuan has said many times before that he wants to knock down all the land under the world and merge the Han family, and now opposing it is tantamount to pouring cold water on the emperor?
"Okay, since you don't have any opinions, then I'll talk about the second thing!" Zhu Changyuan took a deep breath and said, "Donghu Kingdom did not send an envoy to pay tribute this time, which is a great insult to my Ming Dynasty. ”
"What's more, they actually wanted to take advantage of our attack on Annan to deploy troops north, and wanted to surprise Daming. Just now, Guo Cheng, the governor of northern Burma, has called me, saying that the king of Burma, King Talong, has sent people to bypass Ba Mo and directly attack Yunnan. ”
"This..." When the ministers heard this, they were all shocked.
The army of the king of Burma has entered Yunnan, and the entire court does not know about it, and only the emperor knows about it?
What does this mean? It shows that Zhu Changyuan's information sources have reached a terrible level, and it also shows that the news of the courtiers is too closed.
"So, there's a lot to do next. First, I will go out for a few days to personally supervise the army in northern Burma. Before Zhu Changyuan's words were finished, the ministers below began to shout.
"Your Majesty, no!" Qian Qianyi didn't wait for Zhu Changyuan to finish speaking, and said: "The son of a daughter can't sit down, not to mention Your Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, how can he go to a remote place like Burma." This kind of thing is for the courtiers to go over. ”
Kong He also thought that it was inappropriate for Zhu Changyuan to go, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and you will be stationed in Beijing." The Burmese minister went on a trip. ”
"How long will it take for you to arrive?" Zhu Changyuan asked.
"Ten days!" This is the hole and the fastest speed too.
Zhu Changyuan shook his head and said, "Don't persuade you, I said that all the people in the world are my children, if you can arrive in ten days." I don't know how many of my people will die under the butcher's knife of the Burmese devils. ”
"Your Majesty, there is still Guo Cheng in Burma, you can telegraph him to lead the army to Yunnan to rescue." Kong He said.
"I think the same way, but you also know that although northern Burma is now consolidated, our garrison in Burma is no more than 10,000 people at best, and the strength is too weak. It's a big deal. ”
"So, I'm going to go myself!" After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, he said to the newly appointed official Shangshu Hou: "Hou Aiqing and Lord Qian, after the autumn, I plan to send my Ming officials to enter Annan and Burma in batches to begin to educate and govern the local people, so the standard of today's science and government can be slightly lowered, and the number of officials should also be expanded, and at the same time, the clan will be allowed to participate in the imperial examination!" ”
Zhu Changyuan finished speaking. The ministers were shocked.
It's not because of the expansion of recruitment, it's not because of the surprise of allowing the children of the clan to participate in the imperial examination.
was shocked and even impressed by Zhu Changyuan's self-confidence.
A large increase in recruitment means that many more officials will inevitably be added this year, and the addition of many officials will inevitably mean that these officials will inevitably be assigned to Annan and Burma.
In other words. That is, Zhu Changyuan is 100% sure that he will completely conquer Burma and Annam in the next three months.
But where did he get so much confidence?
You must know that conquering a country and dominating within China is not the same concept, it means that all the cities have to fight one by one, and surrender is not nothing, but very rare.
Mongolia was strong back then. The Southern Song Dynasty is weak, right? But it took three generations for Mongolia to conquer a weak Southern Song Dynasty.
The difficulty of destroying the country can be seen from this.
Zhu Changyuan ignored the gaze of the ministers, flicked his sleeves and said: "I will go, all the major affairs of the Jingshi country will be handed over to you, if there is any mistake, I will return to the Beijing Division in a month and be convicted!" ”
With that, he strode away.
The ministers were thundered again: what? A month, conquer Burma?
Zhu Changyuan returned to the harem, had a short-term farewell battle with his three wives, and then opened the system, and shuttled to Bamo in an instant through the earth hundreds of millions of light years away as a medium.
The development of the whole Myanmar is beyond Zhu Changyuan's imagination.
Within half a year, all the areas in northern Myanmar north of Bhamo had undergone land reform, all the poor and middle peasants had been allocated land, and all the landlords and rich peasants had disappeared without a trace.
Moreover, the religion of the Ming Dynasty flourished, not only throughout northern Myanmar, but even to southern Myanmar. Hundreds of thousands of poor people in the south desperately fled to the north, causing a large increase in the population of the north in a short period of time.
When Kong He took Ba Mo at that time, the garrison was only a few thousand people, but now it is good, all the troops brought from the Ming Empire are concentrated in Ba Mo Town, as for those jade mines in northern Myanmar, there are naturally locals who are desperate to help mine them.
Of course, Zhu Changyuan didn't let them work in vain, they were paid.
"Good, good, excellent!" After Zhu Changyuan came to Bamo, he gave Guo Cheng a thumbs up.
The image of the savage before Guo Cheng is gone, not only does he look much older and more serious, but he also grows a thick beard, circling his chin, clean and tidy without losing his rudeness, quite a generation of heroic style.
"It's good to have a beard!" Zhu Changyuan said with a smile.
Guo Cheng was not surprised that Zhu Changyuan came to Ba Mo for half a day, touched his beard and smiled, and said, "It is all good for His Majesty to serve the subordinates of the ministers!" After speaking, he asked again: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, is my old mother still healthy?" ”
Zhu Changyuan said: "The old man is very good, and now he has been taken to the palace. ”
"Can you eat?" Guo Cheng asked again.
Zhu Changyuan was amused by him and said, "You half-baked old language, you don't learn a lot!" Don't worry, your mother is fine, and when the situation in Myanmar stabilizes, I will make arrangements. ”
Guo Cheng was relieved at this time, he smiled, and then looked at Lishui outside Bamo City, his face changed suddenly, and said: "It's these little Burmese devils who sneaked to Yunnan, and the minister doesn't know what to do!" ”
"Kill, of course! How many people did they go to over there in Yunnan? Zhu Changyuan asked.
"The subordinates confirmed that there were at least 20,000 people."
"Go, lead 5,000 people to go, and be sure to annihilate them all!" Zhu Changyuan asked Guo Cheng to send troops to Yunnan immediately, without a moment's delay.
Then, after Guo Cheng was gone, he found a few people from the army who had been his own soldiers before, and each of them distributed a thousand-mile horse, and said, "A few of you hurried to Ava day and night to give this letter to their emperor, King Talong." ”
Since he received the order, he took the horse and left.
Ava is not the patriarch before him, but the capital of the entire Taungoo Dynasty.
After Zhu Changyuan sent Guo Cheng and the envoys, he began to rectify military affairs and inspect all the people's conditions in Bamo!
Originally, it was very difficult to invade other countries to establish political power, and even if it was successfully seized, it would be met with a steady stream of resistance.
However, Zhu Changyuan was good, after beating all the landlords to death indiscriminately, he distributed the land equally to the peasants to collect taxes, and then won the hearts of the locals, and the whole of northern Myanmar was actually peaceful.
Many people have a statue of Zhu Changyuan in their homes and pay homage every day.
In the final analysis, it was Zhu Changyuan who brought them benefits.
Zhu Changyuan sighed in his heart and said secretly: Thank you Grandpa Mao, your old man's theory is indeed the eternal truth.
After King Ta Long received the letter of state written by Zhu Changyuan, he only glanced at it, and then slapped the letter on the table in anger, and shouted loudly: "Too much deception, too much deception, I and Zhu Changyuan do not share the sky!" ”
The prime minister respectfully walked up to King Ta Long, arched his hand and asked, "Why is Your Majesty angry?" ”
"Why are you angry?" King Talong's lungs were about to explode, so he picked up the letter of state and sent it to the prime minister, saying, "Look, he is forcing me to die." ”
The prime minister picked up the national credentials and looked at it, his face gloomy.
The national writing is very arrogant, and the name is just eight words: ultimatum of the Ming Empire!
Don't look at the content, but just look at these eight words can make people angry.
After reading the content, the prime minister felt that the monarch was not angry to death, and it was really a big belly.
This is a special letter of state, which directly put forward three orders: first, withdraw the troops, withdraw all the troops sent to the Yunnan border of the Ming Kingdom, and compensate the Ming Empire with three million taels of silver as the loss of the people.
Article 2: Order, the Emperor of Donghu Talong, go to the Donghu country, go to the emperor, in the future, he can only call himself the king of southern Burma, and he must pay tribute every year to keep his peace.
Article 3: Life, in the land of southern Myanmar, everyone will learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and respect the etiquette of the Han Dynasty from now on. No one is allowed to learn any other culture.
Guarantee that the above three points will be completed, and I will not be guilty of the past, and I will keep his throne and his land. And within ten days of receiving the letter of state, he replied to the hands of Emperor Ba Mo Daming, otherwise, I will do my best to raise troops in northern Burma and destroy Donghu within ten months.
"This, this! It's too much of a deception! ”
The prime minister scolded in the tone of King Long, and then felt the pressure unprecedentedly great.
Because he received 100,000 Chen Shi from the Ming Dynasty on the border of Annan before, and got the fact that they were going to attack Annam, he instigated King Talong to send troops to harass the border counties of the Ming Dynasty, so disgusting Zhu Changyuan, and by the way, he reported the evil revenge of the land in northern Myanmar that was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and angered the Ming Emperor.
