Upon learning that the Ming army was willing to break the siege, the Burmese king and the Burmese officials decided to accept Deng Ming's terms.

Since ancient times, there have been no good conditions for the alliance under the city, and as long as the situation changes, any covenant will be a piece of waste paper - Bai Wenxuan is not wrong, the calculation of the reckless Bai regime is to delay time. After the hidden danger in the east has been eliminated, the situation in the country has been stabilized, and the morale of the military has been restored, Mang Bai will naturally propose to revise the treaty, and the conditions at that time will be determined according to the situation at that time. If the situation is in favor of the Wacheng side, not only will not pay compensation, but may also ask the Ming army to cede Tengchong, just like his ancestors Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli, the king of Burma will never take the contract with the Ming Dynasty to heart.

It was not easy to hand over the Akito who had been rewarded to his subordinates, but now it is much easier, and many high-ranking samurai were killed in the battle of Yeosu; Even if the master survived, due to the siege of Wacheng, the estates of the samurai in the suburbs and hometowns also fell into the hands of the Ming army, and as long as the manors could be recovered, these people would not be reluctant to give up a few slaves.

The efficiency of Wacheng was very high, and before the day of the ceasefire ended, they began to release people one after another, and within two days more than 1,000 prisoners of the Imperial Forest Army were released to the Ming army, and soon a group of family members were also returned. After the escaped Imperial Forest Army arrived at the camp of the Ming army, they first hugged their heads and cried, and then they were filled with indignation and demanded that King Gongchang and Baoguo Gong attack Wacheng and cut Mangbai with a thousand knives.

"Something must have happened to Mang Bai, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy." Deng Ming felt that the Burmese side reacted too quickly: "Could it be that there is a rebellion in southern Myanmar?" ”

However, no matter what internal troubles there are in Myanmar, Deng Ming can't take advantage of it for the time being, and Bai Wenxuan is in a hurry to return to Yunnan, and now it's just to cooperate with Deng Ming's acting in order to get the compensation.

Therefore, it was impossible for the demands of the Imperial Guards to be satisfied, and Deng Ming called the officers of the Imperial Guards to his tent: "If you were my men, I would have sent you all to be held accountable - you have laid down your arms against the enemy without resistance!" But you are not my subordinates, but the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, and I have no right to control you. Of course, I am not obligated to pay you unless you are willing to be trained. ”

The generals and senior officers of the Imperial Forest Army will not be released for the time being, and Deng Ming intends to send these people and the subsequent released officers and soldiers of the Royal Forest to Pang Gao as the Ming army's occupation force in Burma: "Until Mang Bai pays off the compensation, we will continue to occupy northern Burma, I can't spare too many manpower, if you are willing to participate in training and prove that you are capable of fighting Mang Bai, I will allocate you military pay and equipment before the emperor returns." ”

The Imperial Guards gladly accepted the task, and they all hated it to the core, but they still had some questions about the salary and equipment.

"The equipment is very good, and this time I have captured a lot in Burma, and there is a surplus of 2 or 3,000 occupation troops with equipment. Instructors: I'll pick a batch from my men. As for the military salary, my idea is this: Mang Bai promised to compensate the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty, not counting the interest, a total of 2.5 million taels of gold, of which forty percent is mine, and the rest is from the king of Jin and the king of Qingyang. The share of the King of Jin and the King of Qingyang cannot be moved, but I only need half of the forty percent that belongs to me, and the rest is the military expenses of the occupying army, and I will send someone to supervise the account books, and corruption and deduction are not allowed. How to determine and distribute military salaries must be according to my rules, of course, the treatment of officers will definitely be better than that of soldiers, and these two percent of the compensation will be spent on you, and no one can take it. "Deng Ming has only one additional condition, that is, if the occupying army wants to expand its army and fill the shortage, it must recruit new soldiers from western Sichuan, and these western Sichuan soldiers are protected by Deng Ming, and the officers of the occupying army must not treat them as slaves, and they must be allowed to retire. This condition of the Imperial Forest Army is not regarded as a thing, it is just that Deng Ming installed some of his people in this name and got a piece of the pie, since it is Deng Ming's people, of course they cannot be treated as slaves, and they must be allowed to go back to serve by Deng Ming's side.

"I will leave 40% of the first compensation, that is, 40,000 taels of gold, to the occupying army, and this time I will not take half of it and leave. The accounts are public, and if there is a problem with my payout, you can withhold the compensation in the future, so that I know that you are not satisfied, and I will send someone to see what happened. If it is found that you are unwilling to train hard and do not pay compensation, then our agreement today will be null and void, and I will send someone to Myanmar to collect the account, and you can fend for yourself. ”

After listening to Deng Ming's talk about compensation for a long time, an officer of the Royal Forest Army finally asked: "The Burmese humiliated their duties and plundered our dependents, should this also be compensated?" ”

"You are the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, not my subordinates, and I have no right to decide what to do for the Son of Heaven." Deng Ming shook his head: "But after you form an army in northern Myanmar, if you go to ask Mang Bai for compensation, I can't care about it." You are the Son of Heaven's own soldiers, and it's really hard for me to intervene as a courtier about this kind of thing. ”

The Imperial Forest Army suddenly looked like they understood, and someone immediately asked, "When will the training start?" ”

"When you get to the side of Mangru and Pang Gao, eat enough, and recover your body, you will begin," Deng Ming once again reiterated that he was just a courtier, and he couldn't ignore the courtiers: "Whether it's this 20% compensation or the occupation army's account collection task, it is an expedient measure before the emperor returns, and when the emperor returns, you are still the Imperial Forest Army, and I will send someone else to ask for the account." ”

Yang didn't know what to do with this person. The cabinet is the emperor's adviser, and now that the emperor is still in the hands of the Burmese, the rights of this cabinet elder have become very suspicious. In the end, Deng Ming decided to send Yang Zaiye to Pang Gao's side, and did a similar job to the Imperial Forest Army, that is, to ask Mang Bai for compensation, and then transport it back to China.

"Yang Ge Lao, I discussed with King Gongchang and General Di, and we must need a yamen for accounts and transportation, and we all agreed to put forward two percent of the compensation to be paid as the yamen fund for Yang Ge Lao, and the remaining Kunming is fifty percent, Jianchang is one percent, and I and the occupation army are two percent and five. If Elder Yang Ge can guarantee that the compensation will continue to be transported back to China, then this matter will be entrusted to Elder Yang Ge before the emperor returns, and the occupying army and the reckless king will cooperate with Elder Yang Ge. Like the occupying army, this cooperative relationship will also be terminated with the emperor's escape, after all, no courtier can call the emperor's staff, and it is impossible for cabinet members to still do their own private work when the emperor needs it: "Also, take the emperor and Yuanfu back from the Burmese as soon as possible, and Ling Yue, other cabinet elders, Shangshu, Xungui, and imperial history are all Lao Yangge elders." ”

Yang Zai didn't agree immediately, but lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said generously: "Don't worry, Baoguo Gong, these two things will be handed over to the lower officials." ”

"There are three princes of Inspector Wen who are the emperor's attendants, if Elder Yang Ge can do it, I hope they will return to Fengjie as soon as possible."

"Wrap it up on Xia Guan. Xiaguan knew that these three sons of Inspector Wen, if they couldn't return to China before July, Xiaguan didn't need to say anything about Baoguogong, and Xiaguan himself wiped his neck. Yang reassured Deng Ming. The Burmese who has the ability to play tricks is by no means his opponent, since Wen Anzhi's three sons are not big officials, they will definitely be able to get out of danger safely soon.

"There is one more thing," Yang Zai thought about it again: "According to the understanding of the lower officials, the compensation should be the amount sent to the country by the Burmese, and the loss should not be borne by the Celestial Empire, so this two percent of the fire consumption should not be paid by the King of Jin, the King of Qingyang and the Duke of Guo." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Xia Guan thinks that it is completely reasonable to let Mang Bai pay more fire consumption, such as five percent?" Yang Zai cautiously spat out the number, while nervously observing Deng Ming's expression: "The funds needed for this yamen of the lower officials, as well as the ceremonial funds for the staff that the lower officials need to hire, are all out of the fire. In order to ensure that the full amount of compensation is sent to Kunming, Jianchang and Chengdu. ”

"Whether it's five percent or ten percent, I can't say, Yang Ge will decide depending on the situation. What if I have a fixed shortage, and then it will not be enough for the needs of the yamen? Deng Ming just kindly reminded: "But Yang Ge must do what he can, I think it's best for us to pay for this fire this year." ”

"Guogong reminds me." After hearing Deng Ming's statement that he would not interfere with the fire consumption at all, Yang Zai's voice immediately rose an octave: "The lower officials will meet and the Imperial Forest Army...... Well, the occupation forces properly discussed the issue of fire consumption. ”

"And interest."

"Don't worry, the lower officials keep it in mind."

……

The Ming army and Burma soon signed a treaty: Mang Bai was worried that Thailand would launch a sudden attack or that there would be unrest in southern Burma, and if the Ming army knew the news, he might not withdraw his troops; The Ming army was in a hurry to return to Yunnan and did not want to worry about the details, so after accepting more than 2,000 ordinary officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, the agreement was signed. After receiving the compensation of 100,000 taels of gold, Bai Wenxuan, who was impatient, immediately began to retreat. Many of these compensation were converted into jewelry and ivory, which made Deng Ming not optimistic about Mangbai's solvency.

The agreement only laid down a general framework: Burma returned all the members of the imperial court in exile and their property, and compensated the Ming army for the military expenses of 2.5 million taels of gold, to be repaid in ten years; The Ming army withdrew from the whole of Burma, ending the occupation of northern Burma, the area controlled by the reckless regime.

The specific details of this agreement will be further determined by Yang Zai and the Burmese side, and during the implementation process, Yang will also communicate with the Burmese people on behalf of the Ming side.

"If you want to clear your face and seek justice from the enemies who have insulted you and your family, then this agreement will be a good deal for us." While commanding the Sichuan army on their way home, Deng Ming once again summoned Yang Zai and the officers of the occupation army, and waved to them the vague contract with great room for use: "But if you still stick to me, and you are the same as before the curse of water, then this agreement is an agreement that is extremely beneficial to Mangbai, that is, your enemy." ”
