On the ninth day of the first month of the 22nd year of Wucheng, the Xia army of the Western Route arrived at the city of Bosheng, before that, the 2,000 defenders of Bosheng had fled in wolves, thus ceding the most important and prosperous town at the mouth of the Irrawaddy River to the Xia army and the Arakan army.

On the 17th day of the first month of that year, the follow-up Xia Army, drawn from the Mekong River Fleet and the units of the Longxiang Army under the 7th, 8th, and 10th Fleets, arrived in Daguang; Five days later, six more Siamese military governments and 3,000 troops from Lan Ke Tai (whose territory is the five provinces around Chiang Mai in present-day northern Thailand) who were also vassals to China and Siam arrived at the Mawlamyine front; Almost at the same time, an alarm came from northern Burma that the people of the Second Division under the command of the deputy capital of Xuyong, Yunnan Province, Huaxia, had arrived in western Yunnan, and there were signs of going straight into Burma.

In the face of the stormy situation, King Gningdane, who had personally led the northern reinforcement army to the old capital Donghu, seemed anxious - he was eager to fight to the death with the enemy army on the southern front, but he was worried that the battle would be lost, and the situation was completely out of control - King Gningdane, who could not choose whether to risk attacking or defending conservatively, had to make peace with the Chinese side again.

"Your Majesty, the northern kingdom demands that we cede to them the region of Lower Tanasarin and the provinces of Pasheng, Bago and Daguang;" The trembling envoy brought a reply from the Chinese side. "It is also demanded that the Upper Tanah Sarin region be ceded to Siam; cession of Chin State and Magway provinces with Arakan; ceded the territory east of the Salween River to Lankotai; forgive the Tusi of the Kayah, Meng, Kachin and other ethnic groups who once rebelled; compensation of 9,000,000,000 silver coins for Huaxia and column fees; The king and the royal family became monks for three years, atoned for their previous sins, and prayed for the blessings of the former Ming Yongli Emperor; Chinese businessmen are allowed to do business, open mines, and buy real estate in Myanmar; Myanmar's future tariffs will be negotiated with China; Chinese businessmen who committed crimes in Burma should be handed over to the Chinese envoys in Burma for trial??????"

"This is to completely destroy Myanmar." The courtiers who accompanied the army talked one after another. "You can't say yes."

King Gningdane's face turned red, and after a long time, he said: "Burma can hand over Chin State to Arakan, Upper Tanah Saline to Siam, East of the Salween River to Lan Ketai, and also agree to hand over Lower Tanah Saline to Huaxia, but the provinces of Magway, Bosheng, Bago, and Daguang are the root of Burma, and there is no possibility of ceding them; As for indemnity, trade, etc., they can all be agreed. ”

King Grindane meant to ask for a price to be paid on the spot, but the Burmese envoy who had gone and returned brought the final reply from the Chinese side: "What, the terms of peace cannot be changed, great, this is to force Burma to fight a decisive battle with it, come and issue an order to all parts of Burma, all men must come to Donghu immediately??????"

Despite being several times outnumbered by the opposing side, King Gningdane did not see a chance to defeat the mighty Xia army, so he was ready to fight for it when the survival of the country was at stake. However, the king did not know that because of last year's mass conscription, all parts of Myanmar were already on the verge of famine, and how could a Burmese man who had already tasted the taste of hunger leave his wife and children to sacrifice for the ethereal Burmese country at this time? Therefore, after the edict of King Gningdane was issued, Myanmar, which was already about to come to a storm, was completely plunged into irreparable turmoil.

On February 20, 20 February of the 22nd year of Vu Cheng, the people of the Ripple region of Sagaing Province in Burma refused to serve in the army and tried to hide the few life-saving foods, only to be brutally suppressed by the local lords who were preparing to lead their troops to Taungoo. When the news reached Mandalay Province, civilians from all over the country appealed to the monasteries and the royal court administration, praying for a chance to live, but in the face of tight fronts, the petitions of civilians supported by monasteries were rejected or even suppressed by the Burmese government without exception. When the petition failed, the people turned to riots, and the flames of the Beacon burned throughout Myanmar at once.

The riots of the commoners also led to the delusions of some nobles, and the local nobles of Bagan, U Nai Win, soon raised the banner of the king's unreasonable crusade in an attempt to restore the Bagan Dynasty, and the nobles and lords of the Mon, Shan, Kachin, Karen and other ethnic groups who were detached from Germany were even more self-reliant, and the tide spread to Donghu, and even the royal army that had been assembled began to fall apart. Myanmar's western neighbors, such as Manipur, Gajar and Jaintiya, which are known as the Da Panpan region in the official Chinese language, also took advantage of the news to loot and encroach on the western and northwestern borders of Myanmar.

Seeing that the kingdom was about to fall, King Ghendane could not continue to be tough, so he sent an envoy to contact Huaxia again, fully agreeing to Huaxia's request and praying for Huaxia to send troops to help the Taungoo Dynasty suppress rebellions throughout Burma.

On 19 March, the Treaty of the Xiamen-Myanmar Sect was signed, and Huaxia gained the expected sovereignty over the provinces of Bosheng, Daguang, and Nanbago and the Lower Tana Sarin, as well as the right to protect the Shan Tusi west of the Salween River and the Tusi of the former Liuwei region in western Yunnan. In addition, other trade and foreign-related legal rights demanded by Huaxia were also approved by the Taungoo Dynasty, and because of Burma's temporary inability to pay a total of 15 million guan of war reparations and borrow 4 million guan from Huaxia for military expenses, it obtained the customs authority of Burma, and completely controlled the economic lifeline of Burma. As a result, Burma became a semi-colony of China.

On March 21, under the manipulation of the Huaxia, the Taungoo Dynasty signed the "Burma-Afghanistan Boundary Demarcation Treaty" with Arakan, which assigned to Arakan the areas west of the Irrawaddy River, namely Yabe, Minden, Xenamma, Minu, Burma, Ti Kinmao, and the southern part of Chin State. On the same day, Burma signed the Burma-Siam Border Treaty with Siam, handing over the still holding city of Mawlamyine and the entire Upper Tanah Sarain region to Siam, and ceding to Siam the suzerainty of the Mon, Karen, and Kayah Tusi in the middle reaches of the Salween River.

On 23 March, Burma concluded a "Trade Treaty" with Lan Ke Tai, under which the Shan Tusi east of the main stream of the upper Salween River were sold to Lan Ke Tai for 500,000 taels of Chinese silver.

At this point, the first partition of Burma by the Chinese and Siamese conspirators came to an end, and the Xia Army, the Arakan Army, the Siamese Army, and the Lan Ke Thai Army, which were once invading armies, were transformed into intervention forces invited by King Daningone to help quell the internal crisis in Burma.

"I can't agree." In Mawlamyine City, Wu Dunsheng, who had received the edict from King Gningdane, roared angrily at the royal envoy. "This, this is a betrayal of Myanmar." Wu Dunsheng, who has initially awakened the concept of the nation-state, said categorically. "I won't give the city of Mawlamyine to the Siameseans, never."

"General, do you know what you're doing?" The Wang envoy looked at Wu Dunsheng's hideous face without flinching. "The king is waiting for the royal army in Mawlamyine City, and also waiting for the Siamese army to go north to help in the war, at this time you refuse to hand over Mawlamyine City, what do you want to do, do you also want to learn from those traitors to make trouble?"

"Disorder? No, the king is the one who is in trouble. Wu Dunsheng said-for-tat. How much blood did the ancestors shed to capture danasarin, and they had to give it to the enemy in a word, is this worthy of the ancestors? Is it worthy of the soldiers who lost not long ago? "Thinking of the Burmese officers and soldiers who died at the hands of the Siamese, Wu Dunsheng's eyes turned a little red." It is simply unreasonable to join forces with the Siamese who slaughtered the Burmese to continue to massacre their own people. ”

"You." The Wang envoy looked at Wu Dunsheng in surprise. "General, do you know what you're talking about? You're betrayal. ”

"I didn't betray." Wu Dunsheng waved his hand. "I will never betray Burma, so I will never hand over the city of Mawlamyine." Wu Dunsheng made a gesture, and his subordinates quickly drove the envoy out of the room, listening to the envoy's scolding, Wu Dunsheng sighed faintly, and then said firmly. "The Burmese will never leave an inch of their country behind."

Although the walls of Mawlamyine had been damaged many times, Ngo Dunsheng, who had driven out the Siamese who had broken into the city several times, was still confident in holding Mawlamyine, but although his confidence was sufficient, he could not be recognized by others, and another general, Wu Kebai, thought that it was meaningless for the surviving more than 30,000 Burmese soldiers to hold on to Mawlamyine when the king had ceded the upper Tanah sarin region. But he couldn't convince Wu Dunsheng, who was above him, and could only watch the situation with a frown.

"The king has decreed to get rid of Wu Dunsheng, a traitor." The envoy who had arrived from Donghu again was once again turned away by Wu Dunsheng, but this time the envoy brought orders for the camera to dispose of it. "So, I'd like to get the general's help."

"General Wu Dunsheng is meritorious, how can His Majesty?" Under the sharp gaze of the Wang envoy, Wu Kebai's tongue trembled. "This, if this is leaked, as long as it will cause turmoil in the army in the city."

"What is the turmoil is nothing more than Wu Dunsheng's open rebellion." The king said in a cold tone. "With tens of thousands of Siamese troops outside the city, can the rebels stand out and threaten the king's cause of counterinsurgency? It's impossible, at most it's just killing yourself, but does such a sacrifice make sense? General Wu Kebai, the king needs your army. ”

My army? Wu Kebai, who heard the royal envoy's vague gesture, couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly. In fact, he was not a man of authority, otherwise he would have seized power as early as the defeat of Wu Dunsheng. But what the royal envoy said also made sense, if the defenders of Mawlamyine insisted on not giving up the city when there was no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, the only way to starve to death might end up. Instead of letting these remnants of a hundred battles starve to death and be trapped to death, it is better to give them a way to live.

"Please rest assured, I will arrange it." Wu Kebai said with difficulty. "Just please save the life of General Wu Dunsheng."

The envoy glanced at Wu Kebai coldly, and only after a long time did he say: "The king's request is to bring this army back to Donghu safely, so I only need the general to do this??????"

In the middle of the night on the seventh day of the fourth month of the 22nd year of Wucheng, the city of Mawlamyine, which had been under fire for quite a long time, suddenly sounded shouts of killing.

When the awakened guard Wu Dunsheng came out with his subordinates to quell the rebellion, the leader of the unexpectedly current rebel army was his deputy, and Wu Dunsheng, who knew it, asked angrily: "Wu Kebai, are you also confused?" ”

"No," Wu Kebai came into Wu Dunsheng's line of sight. "I just want to take them home."

"Home?" Wu Dunsheng smiled sadly. "Myanmar is already at war, where is there any home?"

Looking at the slightly sensationalized crowd, Wu Kebai replied flatly: "As long as people live, there will be a family." ”

Wu Dunsheng waved his knife and shouted: "If you want to abandon the land of Burma, step over my corpse." ”

Wu Kebai turned his head gloomily, and then a tide of chaotic soldiers poured over??????
