314 Burmese invasion

In the seventeenth century, it was also the period of decline of the Ming Dynasty, at this time the Central Plains not only suffered the baptism of civil war, but also repeatedly invaded by foreign tribes, the Manchu court in the northeast needless to say, this is the main enemy, and the land in Yunnan, which is on the southern border, is not peaceful, like all the foreign races around China, when China is strong, those small countries are humble and obedient in the face of China, but when China begins to decline, they leak out the long-hidden fangs, Greedily roaring towards China, wanting to seize more benefits.

Myanmar, the country first established by the Han people, has developed to the present, and has experienced more than 1,000 years of inheritance, although their civilization has been interrupted several times, but after integrating into the Chinese civilization, it is completely connected, for this situation, they do not regard Huaxia as their benefactor, on the contrary, they regard Huaxia as their enemy and the object of looting, from the original projectile land, slowly through devouring into the largest country on the Southwest Peninsula now, but with the strength of the strong, Their ambitions have become even greater and more greedy.

On the winter solstice day of 1645 AD, this day is also a very important festival for the Han people, but on this day, the Donghu Dynasty of Burma sent 120,000 troops, 300,000 Xuancheng, brazenly crossed the border between Myanmar and China, invaded the mirror of Yunnan, burned and looted along the way, did all kinds of evil, and in just more than ten days, it has occupied a large area of land, and went all the way to Kunming City.

In the face of the brazen invasion of the Burmese army, many Tusi in Yunnan, although they tried their best to resist, but the gap in strength was too great, outnumbered, they fled one after another, and even some Tusi who had no temperament in the face of the powerful Burmese army, became the servant soldiers of the Burmese, so that the Burmese army was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a tendency to occupy the entire Yunnan, in desperation, Mu Wangfu, who was stationed in Yunnan, sent urgent information to the Hongguang court in Shaanxi, and wanted the Hongguang court to send troops to Yunnan, Thus resisting the invasion of the Burmese army.

"Bastard thing, I didn't expect that at this time, what cats and dogs have jumped out, even a little Burma, dare to invade our Huaxia, really when we are soft persimmons, anyone who wants to eat can eat a bite, if it weren't for the army in the past, this official must cut down all these ungrateful things, let them know that everything they have is given by us, since we can give, we can also take back everything they have." When the news finally reached the hands of Shaanxi Shi Lei after several rounds, it was almost the New Year.

Shaanxi, which had finally calmed down, was finally able to have a peaceful year, but when the news came, it still made everyone's hearts disappear the happiness in their hearts and add a few sorrows.

The reason why I feel sad is because this matter is very troublesome, you know, after the Nanjing Yongli court was wiped out by the Manchu army, Shaanxi, the Hongguang court, has become the entire land of China, the only Ming court with a legal status, and it is precisely because of this that in recent times, the scholars and talents who came to the Hongguang court, as well as the soldiers and governors from all over the country, have taken refuge in Shaanxi, so that Shaanxi's strength is rapidly expanding.

And as the only legal imperial court in China, it is their duty to resist the invasion of Burma, if it is in peacetime, after receiving this kind of news, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to conquer, but now it is very troublesome that the actual place that the Hongguang court can control now is only Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places north of the river, and even Sichuan is not involved for various reasons, so if they want the Hongguang court to send troops, then they have to send troops from Shaanxi, and then through Sichuan, bypassing Guizhou, to be able to reach Yunnan.

Let's not say such a thing, whether Zhang Xianzhong of Sichuan can agree, and whether Shaanxi can send enough troops, just the road in the middle is enough to make people daunting, and the road in Sichuan is difficult to walk, which is known to the world, in this way, from Shaanxi to Yunnan, just on the road will have to walk for a few months or even half a year, not to mention the loss on the road, half a year, even if this army really ends in Yunnan, I am afraid that Yunnan still does not belong to the Ming Dynasty at that time, it is an unknown.

Although he knows the difficulties in the middle, but in the face of the invading enemy, he must send a large army to it, otherwise the Hongguang Imperial Court will be blamed by the people of the world because of this, and the people will not care about you so many things, they only know that since I am your people, then I must be protected by you, and this is also the reason for the anger in Shi Lei's heart.

"Let's talk about it, what should I do about this matter, although there are Zuo Mengeng and He Tengjiao in the south now, there are forces such as Lu Daqi, but at a critical time, only the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the hands of Lu Daqi can really be used, I believe that Lord Shi will definitely agree to this matter, but the current situation is that even if the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Lu Daqi all go to Yunnan, it is not of much use, for the situation in Myanmar, Mr. Tong has made it very clear to the official these days, although Myanmar looks inconspicuous, But their military strength is still very strong, and in addition to their strong elephant army, this makes our soldiers very passive, and if we want to expel them, I am afraid that it will take at least 200,000 troops. After venting, Shi Lei finally calmed down in his heart, and then looked at the people in the hall.

Hearing Shi Lei's words, for half a day, no one in the hall spoke, not that they didn't want to say, but there was really no way, whether it was a civilian official or a military general, if it was something else, they could still say a thing or two, but they couldn't find out about this matter, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the current thing was not a matter of war or logistics, but if the army was pulled to Yunnan, as long as an army could appear in Yunnan, then it would be easy to defeat the Burmese army.

Although, these Burmese troops look very powerful, and they have occupied most of Yunnan in a short period of time, but that is only because Yunnan does not have enough defensive forces, although Yunnan is said to be a province of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, nearly ninety percent of his places are ruled by various Tusi, even Sichuan is not as good, how can it be the opponent of the Burmese army that gathers troops, and there is a strong elephant army in Burma, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, really to talk about it, Not to mention the confrontation with the powerful Ming army in Shaanxi, even compared with the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Eight Banners Army, it is not a grade at all, and in the face of the stronger Shaanxi Ming army, they can only flee in embarrassment.

Seeing that everyone had nothing to say for a long time, Shi Lei did not urge, because he also knew that the problem of this matter was, if the problem of the army was not solved, I am afraid that no one would be able to solve this problem.

At this time, a figure quietly walked in from a small door next to the hall, after seeing this figure, Tong Chenfu also quietly slipped over, and when they came to the barrier next to them, they saw the figure take out a piece of rice paper from his arms, there was something written on it, when Tong Chenfu, who originally had a solemn expression, saw the abbreviated information on the rice paper, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and then a rare smile leaked out of his face, and at the same time turned around and strode in the direction of Shi Lei.

Just when a group of people in Shaanxi Shilei felt embarrassed by the invasion of the Burmese army, the emperor of the Western Dynasty located in Chengdu Mansion, Zhang Xianzhong, was unusual, sitting on the palace in high spirits, looking at the information in his hand about the invasion of the Burmese army in Yunnan, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and kept saying in his mouth at the same time, "God help me, God help me, it seems that this God is still good to me Zhang Xianzhong, knowing that I am going to sleep, he sent me such a good pillow, hahaha, this king is so happy." ”

"Father-in-law, what's there to be happy about, Burma, a small country, actually dares to invade my dignified Shenzhou Holy Land, if there is a chance, the child will definitely lead the troops to smash Huanglong, attack their national capital, capture and kill the barbarian king, and let them know that my Huaxia Tianwei is inviolable." Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's excited appearance, Sun Kewang said with some incomprehension.

I have to say that China is a very strange country, in the face of national crisis, often those who occupy high official positions or have successful careers, either find ways to hide in order to seek their own safety, or surrender on their knees, and do the kind of unscrupulous descendants who betray the country for glory and even forget their ancestors, and the real backbone and blood still exist are those scoundrels or gangsters who are usually looked down upon, that is, the so-called dog slaughterers.

And the world is indeed like this, from a historical point of view, Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui and others, who were favored by Emperor Chongzhen, did groveling traitors in the face of national integrity, and when the nation was in danger, it was Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo who finally resisted to the end, but Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo, these humble people who lifted the Ming Dynasty to the bottom of the sky, which is why, in later generations, after Zhang Xianzhong's death, many places in the southwest, especially some places in Sichuan, built Zhang Xianzhong's temples everywhere, The reason why the people are also willing to worship him is because the people are the most shrewd people, and what they worship is not Zhang Xianzhong, but the integrity and backbone of the Chinese people.

Hearing Sun Kewang's words, Zhang Xianzhong stopped laughing, and then turned his head to Sun Kewang and said, "Father-in-law has to be happy, you must know that this matter is related to the future life of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of our Great Western Army, do you say that father-in-law can not be happy?" ”

"The future of our Great Western Army, father-in-law, aren't we very good, what does it have to do with us, I said, they are in Yunnan, we are in Sichuan, although they are not far away, but they are not close, and what can we do with them." Ainengchi on the side asked.

"Tell me, what is the situation of our Great Western Army now, and can we stay in Sichuan?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

Hearing Zhang Xianzhong's question, the people present stopped talking, for the current prospects of the Great Western Army, these people are the clearest, you know, although the Great Western Army is strong, but the military strength can not replace everything, under the continuous attack of those former Ming generals in Sichuan, the rule of the Great Western Court in Sichuan is getting worse, and now except for a limited number of big cities, the rest of the places have fallen into the hands of those former Ming officials, of course, because of the lack of strength, Those former Ming armies did not attack the cities occupied by these Great Western Army, and the two sides are now barely maintaining a balanced existence.

But everyone knows that this is just a temporary balance, as the strength of the former Ming generals grows stronger, they will definitely further compress the living space of the Great Western Army, and there will definitely be a decisive battle to be fought between the two sides, and more importantly, there is a more powerful Shaanxi court behind them.

It was precisely when they saw this kind of scene that everyone didn't dare to speak in the face of Zhang Xianzhong's questioning, because they didn't dare to guarantee that after they said these words, they would not be directly cut off by the angry Zhang Xianzhong.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Xianzhong was clear about their thoughts, so he continued, "If you don't say it, it proves that you all know, then this king will not say more, but this is not the result that this king wants, since this king rebelled, no matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, he has never admitted defeat, and now although our Great Western Army is in a predicament, this king still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and you are a group of righteous sons and loyal ministers, we still have a chance to turn the tables, so, I will not watch our Great Western Army fall into trouble and die slowly, so this king decided to seize this opportunity to let our Great Western Army rise again elsewhere, and this king believes that this opportunity will not be too far away. ”

Although Zhang Xianzhong's words were a little vague, there were still shrewd people who heard the meaning of his words, and heard Liu Wenxiu on the side say, "Father-in-law, are you preparing to go to Yunnan?"

As soon as he said this, he was interrupted by Zhang Xianzhong, "You are right, this is what this king thinks, you know, if it was before, this king wants to go to Yunnan, there will be many resistances, not to mention anything else, Mu Wangfu's family, has been guarding Yunnan for generations, and the Tusi in all parts of Yunnan can be described as intertwined, even if this king takes the Great Western Army to where to go, it is difficult to gain a foothold, but now it is different, you know, the current Yunnan has been so troubled by the Burmese, and the original power has become completely messy, And if we go at this time, it is a good time, if we can repel the Burmese army, I am afraid that we will be able to replace the existence of Mu Wangfu and turn the whole of Yunnan into the territory of our Great Western Army, just like the Dali Kingdom of the former Song Dynasty, we may not be able to establish a Great Western Kingdom. ”
