A small percentage of people may not know and feel completely, but if the majority of people are convinced, it will be a definite statement.

Zhu Yongxing carried the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty with the respect of the clan left behind, which is naturally commendable. And since he left Burma and entered Yunnan, there has been almost no time when he made mistakes, and every time he was sure to be right, it was impossible not to admire and be in awe.

There was no shock to the tiger's body, and Wang Baqi burst out; There is no tongue blooming lotus, and the little brother flocks to worship. are all the prestige that Zhu Yongxing has accumulated step by step, and the merits that have been accumulated step by step.

For Zhu Yongxing, there are almost no things that can be accurately predicted. But he still has something to be proud of, that is, his estimation and judgment of the general trend. This is not only domestic, but also international.

It was only out of caution, or due to inherent thinking, and other reasons, that Zhu Yongxing's estimate of the army's combat effectiveness was somewhat conservative. This was true against the Qing army, and it was also true against Burma. This has the advantage of being able to ensure that victory in each battle is as good as possible, but sometimes it can go beyond the original plan.

The attack on Burma Pass was originally to exert pressure on Burma to welcome back the Yongli monarch without using swords. Or give Mang Bai an opportunity to usurp the throne and make the Burmese side change its attitude. But the Burmese reaction, and what happened afterward, changed the plan.

After He Jiuyi led more than 10,000 Ming troops to approach the Burmese Pass, the Burmese actually went out of the pass to meet the battle. In the eyes of the Burmese, while the Tusi troops in Yunnan Province have not yet been fully gathered, if they can defeat the Ming army at this time, they can change the situation of being outnumbered in the future.

It's a pity that the Burmese overestimated themselves and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. More than 30,000 Burmese troops were defeated by the Ming army in one fell swoop in the field battle, and the Burmese army, equipped with arquebuses, was defeated by Franco, bombardment artillery, field artillery, and dense and orderly musket fire.

Although the intention of the Ming army was not to capture the Burmese Pass, the Burmese army was panicked after the defeat and burned the city and retreated to Manmo. Obviously, the Burmese army was not ready for a big battle with the Ming army, and also realized that the small walls of the Burmese pass city were low, and it was difficult to resist the attack of the Ming army. But they didn't know that the Ming army actually had no intention of fighting on a large scale.

In the face of the abandoned Burma Pass, He Jiuyi thought about it again and again, and still sent troops to clean up and station, and played to the imperial court, expressing his guilt for the strange changes in the implementation of the plan.

In the traditional rules of officialdom, such a plea is commonplace. is like the words "the minister is guilty", when facing the emperor, he will often hang on his lips. In the final analysis, there was a change in this operation, and He Jiuyi himself thought that there was nothing wrong with it, and if he wanted to blame, he could only blame the Burmese for being too weak.

The Burmese army is weak, this is a fact that Zhu Yongxing also knows. Otherwise, in history, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan would not have led the tired Ming army to the city of Ava. Of course, things have come to this point, which is somewhat unexpected by Zhu Yongxing. But if you think about it, it is certainly not the time to attack Burma in a big way, but the Ming army on the Yunnan-Burma border is enough to contain the Burmese army, and it is possible to achieve the second goal.

Mangbai has the intention of usurping the throne, and the Burmese ministers do not want to offend the Ming army because of the Yongli monarchs, but the Burmese king Mangda is in the middle of it. Although Zhu Yongxing didn't understand Mangda's thoughts and ideas for doing this, he felt that Mangbai could become the king of Burma, which was quite beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.
