For the Burmese who defend their homeland and country, they have to fight if they have money or not. Therefore, when the nearest 100,000 Burmese troops appeared in the suburbs of Mawlamyine, the 5,000 or 6,000 soldiers and horses of the southern Burmese Han pirate Tusi could only take the looted booty, evacuate from Shangdansarin in disgrace, and flee back to the nest south of the Dawei River.

Wu Dunsheng is the general of Burma, and he has his own understanding of the key to the victory or defeat of this patriotic battle, so he did not invest too many pursuit troops in the Tusi coalition army in southern Burma, but only arranged for 20,000 people to advance to the Yecheng-Hangin area to block the passage of the Tusi of southern Burma from the 6th road, 30,000 people stayed on the line of Jikanmei-Mawlamyine-Bangzhen, and the main force of 100,000 people immediately marched eastward to the key points at the western foot of the mountain such as Jiongduo and Gaojiali, hoping to block the Siamese army that came over the mountains and mountains.

However, like his contemporaries in East Asia, Wu Dunsheng ignored the enemy at sea, and the Burmese army did not continue to pursue and kill, and the relieved southern Burmese Tusi resorted to the old way of piracy, crossing hundreds of miles of sea routes into the bustling and empty Lower Burma, stirring up the Irrawaddy River estuary area east of Bosheng and west of Daguang.

Under the combined effect of internal and external factors, Wu Kebai, the deputy general who stayed in Mawlamyine, was forced to change the initial plan of the commander Wu Dunsheng, and asked the Burmese army in the Yecheng-Hangin area to switch from defense to attack and completely eliminate the Tusi in southern Burma.

On the seventh day of the sixth month of the 21st year of Wucheng, the crown prince of Siam arrived in Wuchang, and just as Zheng Kezhang and the Chinese court ceremoniously received the future lord of the vassal state, the Battle of Southern Burma officially broke out.

In the face of the Burmese army, which had an absolute superiority in troops, the Tusi coalition army in southern Myanmar had to abandon the key points west of the Dawei River, such as Nakisin, Kampao, Zhedi, Nablai, and Mangmaol, and only blocked the downstream with the strength of boats and boats to protect the grain route between Dawei City and the rear Deyeqiang, Changwabin, and Minda.

The Burmese army marching south attempted to cross the Dawei River upstream of Dawei and attack Dawei to the southeast of the river, thus leading to the largest battle between the two sides to date.

On 21 June, the Burmese army successively invested more than 8,000 troops and more than 30 elephants at three river crossing points, while the Tusi coalition army in southern Burma had only 3,000 men, and only 1,000 people at each river crossing point, and its strength was far inferior to that of its opponents. It's just that only a small number of officers in the Burmese army are professional samurai, and the rest are newly recruited peasant soldiers, although the number is numerous, but the combat power is not as good as the southern Burmese Tusi coalition army, which is accustomed to fighting at sea, plus the Burmese army that crossed the river only has a small number of small-caliber copper cannons and a very small number of muskets, while the southern Burmese army has basically been firearmed, so the fierce battle is fierce, and the Burmese army has suffered more than half of the casualties, but it has never been able to break through the opponent's resistance, and was forced to give up the plan to cross the river. As for the Tusi coalition forces in southern Burma, they did not carry out a counterattack across the river because of one-tenth of the casualties, heavy ammunition consumption, and strong reserves of the opponent, and for a while, the two sides seemed to be deadlocked on both sides of the Dawei River.

It's just that the weakness of the Burmese army has been seen by the 36 Western families, so these former pirates who licked the blood with their knives took the risk to open the defense line of the Dawei River, mobilized boats and ships to attack the rear of the Burmese army by sea, and seized the Yecheng-Hangin area in one fell swoop when the Burmese army was caught off guard, cutting off the connection between the Burmese army going south and the Mawlamyine area.

Although the southbound Burmese army was still able to use the large plantations in the Langlong Plain of the west of the Dawei River to maintain basic food supplies, the cut off of the back route caused great confusion for the Burmese army. As a last resort, the commander of the Burmese Army on the southern front had no choice but to lead his troops back to rescue the two places of Yecheng and Hanpin, and then turn around and return to continue the attack on Dawei after opening up the communication with the Mawlamyine area.

Not to mention how the morale of the army will be damaged by the tossing back and forth, even the southern Burmese army cannot allow the Burmese army to retreat safely, so as soon as the Burmese army showed signs of returning north, the more than 1,000 southern Burmese troops who stayed in Dawei did not hesitate to cross the Dawei River and follow up and pursue the Burmese army.

The seemingly long and difficult retreat road, the pursuit of the enemy army like a locust, and the unknown fate ahead, all kinds of suffering, the morale of the Burmese army gradually collapsed. So after an attack, the Burmese army, which still had more than 10,000 men, suddenly collapsed in front of less than a tenth of the pursuers??????

There is a huge loophole in the southern direction of Myanmar that can threaten the rear route of the main force of the Burmese army, and now Wu Kebai is sitting on wax.

What to do? Ask the king for new reinforcements? This is impossible, you must know that Burma has finally cobbled together more than 300,000 troops, one south and one north have all been dispatched, the only thing that can be expected is the thousands of royal guards used to guard Ava and tens of thousands of horses used to conquer the Mon and Shan in the early stage. However, it was impossible for the Wang Guard's Praetorian Guard to be mobilized lightly, and the soldiers and horses conscripting the Meng and Shan tribes could only be sent for reinforcements at least after victory, so in fact, Wu Kebai had no reinforcements.

So let Wu Dunsheng's main force be transferred back to a part? This is also impossible, Wu Dunsheng has 100,000 people to block the Siam country, the burden is already very heavy, as a deputy general, how can he make the other party even worse at this time?

After thinking about it, Wu Kebai made a fatal decision, that is, to transfer troops from Bangzhen and Mawlamyine to the southernmost line of Jikanmei to stop the further actions of the southern Burmese army. However, Wu Kebai also knew that this would be risky, and he would not be able to prevent the southern Burmese army from invading Lower Burma again, so he wrote to the Ava royal court to ask for the right to give the lords of Lower Burma the right to organize self-defense forces and give him the right to transfer these self-defense forces to garrison the city.

Wu Kebai's request caused a great shock in the Ava court, and it stands to reason that this is a reversal of the policy of strengthening centralized power, but the imminent death of the country, King Daningene can no longer care about restricting the rights of local lords and nobles, so he can only agree.

It's a pity that Wu Kebai waited for the answer he wanted, but he couldn't implement it. The reason is simple, the king of Arakan finally sent troops at the instigation of the Chinese side. The Ava court, which had no troops to send, had no choice but to order the invaded area to form its own noble alliance, and at the same time ordered the nearby noble lords to also send troops to help in the war, so there was not a single soldier left for Wu Kebai.

Beacons are everywhere, and such a result makes generals like Wu Kebai feel that the building is about to collapse, but the crisis will come sooner than Wu Kebai imagined. On July 20, the 21st year of Wucheng, the Chinese envoy entered Burma from Yunnan. The edict brought by the envoy listed the sins of Burma in invading its neighbors and abandoning its suzerainty, and demanded that Burma reflect on its past and cede territory to Siam and Alakan, and give up the suzerainty of the Tusi of southern Burma. This edict succeeded in infuriating the Burmese side, and in response to China's desire to cover up the country's actions, Burma responded by further increasing the number of soldiers and horses on the front line of Bamo. So Huaxia Yunnan Xingtai once again sent people to question, on the grounds of "Burma provoked border provocation", and got the righteous name of sending troops to Burma.

As the countdown to the war began, the British, French, and Dutch East India Companies formally demanded wartime neutrality and armed self-defense to the Burmese side, but the Burmese side refused.

The Burmese shuddered at the same time the stab in the back of the Three Kingdoms East India Company, and at this time, the so-called people of insight proposed the construction of "harmony among the four neighbors", trying to use the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, or cede or give up part of the territory of little significance in exchange for the survival of the entire Donghu Dynasty.

After careful consideration, King Daningene decided to send a peace envoy to Kunming, and at the same time continued to contact the British, French, and Dutch East India Companies to invite the East India Companies of the three countries to abandon their neutrality and support Burma in exchange for the cession of Salen and its surrounding areas.

On 26 August, the Burmese envoy arrived in Kunming and immediately submitted a request for mediation to Huaxia. In this request, Myanmar promised to withdraw its troops from the Xia-Burma border and the Burma-Siamese border and cede to Huaxia the Kachin region of northern Burma, the southeastern Shan State to Siam, the southern part of Chin State to Alakan, the independence of Tusi in southern Myanmar, and the independence of Tusi in northwestern Shan State.

On the surface, it seems that the Burmese side has given up a lot of interests, but for Myanmar, the above areas are barren and inseparable, and if they can overcome the current crisis and free up the hands of the crumbling Taungoo Dynasty to clean up their internal affairs, Myanmar may not be able to recover these areas in the future.

However, although King Daningene's calculations were good, the Yunnan Honglu envoy, who adhered to the above intentions, insisted on the previous demands of the Chinese side to hand over the Upper Tanah Salin to Siam and the Lower Tanah Sarin, and the independence of the Tusi of southern Myanmar and the cession of the west bank of the Irrawaddy River to Akakan, and insisted that Burma send princes and important ministers to Yunnan in prison clothes to chase down the former Ming Yongli Emperor to settle the cause and effect, which was impossible for the Burmese side to accept, and the envoys of the two countries broke up unhappily.

At this time, the British, French, and Dutch East India Companies also told the Burmese side that they had no intention of plotting Burmese territory, but were unwilling to be the enemy of the powerful China in the upcoming war, so they could only implement armed self-defense to ensure neutrality, and when the war between Burma and China was over, they would resume normal trade.

The reply of the British, French and Dutch East India Company and the tough statement of the Chinese side made the Ava royal court completely dispel the last bit of illusion, and could only actively participate in the preparation for the war, but the envoy from the north brought back a strange message, there was no sign of war mobilization in Yunnan, could it be that the Xia army was not ready to invade Burma, a qiē was just the smoke released for the invasion of Siam and Arakan, or the envoy saw not the truth, outside his sight, the Xia army was ready.

Confusion filled the entire Taungoo Dynasty, and since the possibility of the Xia army attacking from the north to the south could not be ruled out, more than 100,000 Burmese troops could only stay in northern Burma, wasting precious grain while watching the time enter October.

On the third day of October in the 21st year of Wu Cheng, the Siamese army, which had been preparing for a long time, crossed the Ta Nitah Thanong Mountains and entered Burma, and the battle on the southern front officially began.
