Chapter 25: Killing
Zhu Changyuan's route into Myanmar is basically from Kunming all the way to the west, after crossing the mountains of Myanmar, and then 50 kilometers to Myitkyina, Myanmar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In fact, this mountain is not the junction of the Ming Dynasty and the Burmese Dynasty, this is the junction of the modern society of China and Myanmar in the later generations.
In fact, in the real sense, there is no exact border between the Ming Empire and Burma, which is almost there anyway.
After crossing the mountains of Burma, Zhu Changyuan knew from the map in the system that he could reach Myitkyina about 50 kilometers ahead, so he did not rush to the road, but let the army rest on the spot for a day, and then marched to Myitkyina City.
Myitkyina, in modern times, was the capital of the Kachin region, almost the capital of a province, just like the southern metropolis of later generations.
It's a pity that Myanmar is still too backward, not to mention the modern Ming Dynasty, that is, the modern society in later generations, and the entire city is only 200,000 people.
As for how many people can be in this place now, Zhu Changyuan doesn't know. It may be 30,000 or 20,000, anyway, none of this matters, the important thing is that from today onwards, this place belongs to Lao Tzu.
"Array, go!"
After a day's rest, all the officers and soldiers lined up in a mighty and majestic procession, and under the guidance of Zhu Changyuan, they slowly continued to march westward, and the target was naturally Myitkyina.
Once you have crossed the mountains of Burma, the road is much smoother, the mountains and hills no longer exist, and what you see is a dense primeval forest. After crossing the mountain, not only the terrain has changed greatly, but also the climate, and the temperature and humidity have risen to a new level.
"Be careful, there are many snakes and insects in this wood, avoid the dense jungle and walk along the riverbank!" Zhu Changyuan commanded in front, and the soldiers behind followed one by one.
Although it is said that there are snakes and insects in the primeval forest. It is possible to attack the soldiers passing by at any time, but once there are many people, the popularity will become very heavy, and those snakes and insects will naturally run away and dare not come out to hurt people. Zhu Changyuan estimated. Even if there is occasional damage to your own troops, it shouldn't be too big.
Sure enough, after walking more than ten kilometers in the jungle, when everyone came to a rather wide plain, only a dozen people were bitten by snakes and insects.
"What a view!" Zhu Changyuan stood on a slightly higher hill. Looking at a large mountain basin in front of me, I couldn't help but admire.
In front of him, first of all, there was a large river that bent slowly from north to south, and in the open area on both sides of the river, there were thousands of hectares of fertile land, and in the middle of this basin, there was a small place where human beings gathered, and it had not even formed the scale of a town, and it seemed to be a relatively large town.
However, the very center of town. There is indeed a small city, and there seems to be quite a few garrisons around it.
A lot of them are relative to Burma, and in Zhu Changyuan's eyes, those garrisons are still a little thin, and they look like they are less than 5,000 people.
After a while, the scout came back and reported to Zhu Changyuan: "Lord Wang, in front of you is Myitkyina, there are about forty or fifty thousand people in the city, and there are two to four thousand defenders!" ā
Zhu Changyuan nodded. It was not easy for the scouts to figure out the situation in such a short period of time.
"That's it! Brothers! Zhu Changyuan grabbed the reins of the horse, raised his hand slightly, and said, "The brown and black devil in front." There are 2,000 people stationed, go and kill as much as you want, the women stay, the army is killed, and the people are all arrested as slaves, rush! ā
After speaking. He pulled down the silver armor that covered his face, and rushed out first.
Behind Zhu Changyuan, the soldiers flowed down from the heights with him, and began to attack this small town at a loss, as well as those unprepared defenders.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good!" A soldier ran into the room of the officer of the Myitkyina garrison and said in the native language: "There are people attacking the city, so many people, so many people, and so many horses!" ā
"What?"
The officer who defended the city was named Sanara, and he was in his room talking to two local natives of Myitkyina about things, and he was also shocked to hear this.
"Dudley, you negotiated with me on the surface, and you dared to lead people to attack the city behind your back, your death time has come!" Sanara stood up, drew his saber from his waist, and slashed at Dudli's head.
Dudley dodged and hurriedly said, "Lord Sanara, how dare I lead an army to attack, there are 4,000 people in your city to guard, how many can I transfer?" ā
The soldier who had just come over to summon the interrogation, after taking a few breaths, also waved his hand and said, "My lord, the person who came this time doesn't look like he was sent by Dudley, it seems that he is, someone from outside." ā
"What, from outside?"
Sanara did not dare to delay any longer, and said to Dudley and the other nobleman: "Dudley, and Ava, you two follow me, and I will go to the city to see who dares to resist me in Myitkyina?" ā
Sanara has royal blood in his veins, and coming to a place like Myitkyina is only gilded, and he will not stay here for long. However, as long as he is there, he is the main general of Myitkyina, and no matter who comes to attack him, he will not tolerate it.
"I want to see which one has eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard and dares to go against me, I don't know if I am the grandson of King Talong!" As he spoke, he led a few people and quickly ran towards the city.
He secretly said in his heart: There must be which indigenous person is going to rebel! If you dare to oppose the rule of King Talong and oppose our Great Donghu Empire, I must give him a good look.
The main purpose of the establishment of a small town and garrison on the Myitkyina side was to suppress the resistance of the local natives and some other strange peoples, and to make them subject to the rule of the Taungoo Empire.
Of course, every year many natives rebel and even attack the city, but with well-equipped and well-trained soldiers, the natives are always vulnerable.
However, when Sanara took Dali and Ava to the city, and saw Zhu Changyuan's flood-like army, his body was instantly petrified and stupid. There was only one question left in his mind: Is this a soldier? Is this indigenous? When did the natives gather so many people?
From the far distance of the city, a general wearing silver armor and riding a silver armored war horse, holding a silver spear of a long length of a hand, rushed all the way towards the city.
Behind the commander, the black army rushed down the opposite hill like a torrent, flowing in the direction of Myitkyina.
"No, no!" Dudley looked at these troops, his whole body and throat trembled at the same time, and he said to Suanaluo: "My lord, this kind of army, I have never seen it, this is not the army of our Donghu Empire, this is not the people of Annam, or the remnants of Siam?" ā
"Neither!" Ava, the oldest next to him, looked at Zhu Changyuan's soldiers, sighed, and said: "These are all heavenly soldiers, I don't know who angered the Heavenly Kingdom, the Heavenly Son of the Heavenly Kingdom is angry and has come to conquer our Donghu Empire." ā
"Heavenly soldiers? What is a Heavenly Soldier? Sanara looked at Ava in bewilderment, thinking that what he had said was too mysterious.
"The Heavenly Soldier is the army of the Son of Heaven!" As an indigenous person, and a native who is very close to the land of the Ming Dynasty, Dudley also remembered and said: "The Heavenly Soldiers have not descended here for sixty years, and the Son of Wanli is angry!" ā
In that year, when the Donghu Dynasty expanded, it once led troops north, thinking that it could seize a piece of R in the hands of the Ming Empire, but it actually captured many places in the Ming Dynasty in a series of defenseless situations.
However, there is one thing they overlook, and that is the character of the Ming Emperor!
How can the old Zhu family man be easy to mess with?
Emperor Wanli was furious, let the Duke of Qianguo lead a large army to suppress the border, broke 300,000 people in Myanmar in Panzhihua, and chased and killed the Donghu Dynasty in the heyday of Myanmar at that time, and the prime minister became a prisoner.
Of course, the war at that time also brought great fear to the people living in the border area, especially the local indigenous nobles.
So much so that today, 60 years later, there are still myths and legends in northern Myanmar that "the soldiers of the Son of Heaven are incomparable".
"No, the current Son of Heaven is no longer the Son of Wanli!"
As soon as Ava finished speaking, Sanara waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't say so many useless words, now that the enemy is besieging my city, and my defenders only have 4,000 people, how to deal with it?" ā
Ava suggested, "Stay on top! We have 4,000 people trapped here, and although the army of the Son of Heaven seems to have more than 10,000 people, it is impossible to conquer the city in a short time, so you can let your henchmen go out from the west of the city and ask the king for help. ā
"That's the only way!"
After arranging the affairs of the general, Sanara came to the city with all 4,000 defenders, ready to defend the city and wait for reinforcements.
However, what he didn't expect was that after Zhu Changyuan's siege artifact was put out, the city would be broken in half an hour, and it would be done!
Of course, when entering the city, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Burmese army, however, three words to summarize, and then there were no eggs.
Huang Taiji, Dolgon, and Li Zicheng can't prevent people who can't be killed, and you are a petty official of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma, and you want to make trouble with only 4,000 people?
That's a joke.
Therefore, Zhu Changyuan treated these brown and black dogs who had brought great harm to his motherland, and naturally showed no mercy and killed them all with a wave of his hand.
After all, the outside is different from the country, and the people of the Ming Dynasty cannot kill indiscriminately, but any nation other than the Chinese nation, if they want to conquer it by relying on Huairou alone, it is a joke.
It must be done with iron-blooded means, with the fact that they have to be brought to their knees.
Why was Genghis Khan able to cover the territory of Greater Mongolia in Asia and Europe and annex the world? For no other reason, the word killing is sufficient. To be continued.
