History has deviated farther and farther from the trajectory in the original plane of Bai Nan.

Europe is even more competitive to introduce advanced machines from Datang, for fear that it will be left behind in this round of industrial revolution. Qianlong became an idle retired old man on the island of Hokkaido, and China's door was opened in advance by another Chinese.

Of course, there are some subtle changes, and they have also had some impact on the regional and world situation. In the summer of 1781, Mon Yun, the sixth monarch of the Gongbang dynasty of Burma, ascended to the throne more than half a year earlier than in history, and after ascending the throne, he moved the capital to Abramala (the area outside present-day Mandalay) and once again sent troops to conquer Siam.

Mon Yun was one of the most virtuous monarchs in Myanmar's history, and during his reign, Myanmar's society and culture developed considerably. He was also an ambitious monarch, and at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, Meng Yun hoped to establish his position and prestige with his prowess and martial prowess. He had two options, one was to go north again, at the junction of Shan State and Yunnan, China, and launch a war against the Qing. More than 10 years ago, the Qing-Burma War ended in a war negotiation between the commanders of both sides without the consent of their respective monarchs. But in practice, it was the Burmese who won the real military victory. The Qing army did not achieve almost any of its military goals, the Qing army changed its commanders four times, all four commanders were killed, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, but Burma's losses were relatively limited. However, because of this war, Myanmar also completely lost Siam, which it had already taken. Driven out of Siam by Zheng Xin. (Spit a slot.) The ass is biased in the English version of Wikipedia. It is written directly that Burma won and suffered significantly less casualties, and also wrote that this war was the defense of Burma against Chinese aggression, the establishment of Myanmar's borders after the war, and the ensured the independence of Myanmar. What's more ridiculous is that you switch back to the Chinese version of the wiki entry, saying that it is a war for dominance, which is a tie. Instead, on the Chinese entry. Wiki Standard Neutrality is problematic with local stances. In my opinion, Wikipedia, which claims to be neutral and free, is itself the most biased)

After the Jingshi Incident, the weakness of the Qing army can be said to have been seen by many people. In particular, the implementation of the Jiaqing New Deal, the abolition of the traditional military system, and the launch of the new army on the road are even more in the stage of lack of success and combat effectiveness. It is precisely because of this that there are voices within Myanmar that they should send troops to the vehicle (Xishuangbanna). Capture Yunnan.

Another option is to send troops to Siam again, after all, Burma and Siam are rivals. Almost whoever is strong wants to suppress the other party and bully the other party well. He was close to ruling Siam, but his dream came to naught due to the Burmese War and the Manipur Rebellion.

Meng Yun also weighed that although the Qing army was weak, after all, it was dozens or hundreds of times the national strength of Burma, and Myanmar could not engage in a long-term war with the Qing State. Even in the Qing-Burma War, the Qing army fought four times in a row, and was basically defeated in a wave, just like the small soldiers who refreshed infinitely from the lol heights, Burma can't make up for it, and in the end, if you meet a super soldier again, you can directly end up in a gg. The Burmese army is not really that strong, in the Qing-Burma War, the Burmese army used the terrain and the stupidity of the Qing army to kill more than 10,000 enemies, but once the Burmese army entered the wilderness and engaged in a field battle with the Qing army, the Qing army's vest cavalry and soldier formations made the Burmese army quite uncomfortable and difficult to win. From this point of view, even if the Qing army was weak, the numerical advantage and some terrain advantages made Meng Yun extremely hesitant.

The Burmese army cannot be refreshed immediately, as long as there is a big defeat, the Burmese army will be completely finished. Even Meng Yun's own throne couldn't sit steadily, and there were many people staring at him in China. If it weren't for the fact that the three generations of Burmese kings did not have a deep understanding of the national strength of the Qing State, the Burmese army would definitely not have taken the initiative to provoke and attempt to occupy Yunnan.

In this way, the only one who can choose to abuse is Siam. Meng Yun also heard that there was a civil strife in Siam at the beginning of the year, and then the Tang people from outside the territory invaded Siam and defeated the army of Chao Phraya Chokri, and now occupied the royal capital Thonburi and controlled a large area of Siamese land. Meng Yun is not familiar with the Tang Dynasty, but he has also heard of the prestige of this country, which invaded the capital of the Qing State in one fell swoop a few years ago, and even forcibly changed an emperor to them.

Meng Yun was quite cautious, he didn't intend to provoke this unfamiliar country easily, but watching this country swallow Siamese alive was unacceptable to Meng Yun. According to the report of the Burmese spies, the Tang army did not enter the mountainous areas of northwestern Siam, but only operated in the plains, which made Meng Yun think about it. Even if it only occupies the mountainous areas of Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Lampang, etc., it is quite a considerable piece of land.

What's more, Meng Yun's biggest goal is not to rule Siam. As a new enthroner, he needed such a military victory to secure his position. There is no doubt that Siam is in turmoil, and it is a good time to open up territory. The Tang army went on an expedition to Siam and focused its attention on the plains, so the Burmese occupied the mountainous areas in the northwest, and the Tang army was in a sense and should not react violently, while the Burmese had a lot of energy to digest the results.

So, not long after Meng Yun ascended the throne as the king of Burma, he gathered more than 40,000 Burmese troops and set out from Upper Burma to attack Siam from Shan State. The Siamese lords in Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai and other places were not strong, and although they resisted the Burmese army with all their might, they were still defeated and their territories were seized. These local noble lords had no choice but to flee to the south, and in the past they would naturally ask the king of Siam to rule for them, but now there is no king in Siam, and the people who call the shots in Thonburi are the Tang people. Anyway, no matter who it is, although they did not declare their obedience to the rule of the Tang people before, they can only be dead horses and horse doctors now, saying that they are the lords under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and now the land has been seized by Myanmar for no reason, and the people have been killed for no reason, hoping that the Tang army can preside over justice for them.

This news immediately attracted the attention of the Tang army, and Chang Bin immediately mobilized troops and horses to assemble in the northwest region, and at the same time asked Bai Nan for instructions on whether to enter the mountains to fight the Burmese army. Because once this is done, the Tang army is likely to be plunged into an expanded war. (To be continued.) )
