Constrained by peace talks, only focusing on the immediate situation, and lacking a long-term plan, Zheng Chenggong has already done such a thing and cheated Li Dingguo. And after the coalition army inflicted heavy losses on the Nanruan Naval Division, he postponed his excuse to continue to cooperate in the attack on the Qing Army's naval division in Guangdong, which also made Zhu Yongxing understand his psychology of being arrogant in the southeast.

You have to rely on yourself in everything, at least don't count on the assistance of the Zheng family when you attack Guangdong, and when the victory is decided, you must also guard against the Zheng family fishing in troubled waters and getting something for nothing. But after all, this is still a bit far away, and the focus of Zhu Yongxing's southwest strategy has been set in Sichuan. Once the Qing Army's Guangdong Naval Division was defeated by the South China Sea Fleet, Zhu Yongxing's preferred target was also Qiongzhou, not the land of Guangdong.

Half a year, at least for such a long time, Zhu Yongxing said it easily, but his heart was a little heavy. If it's just an external problem, it's okay to say, but internal worry is the most headache.

Since the ninth year of Shunzhi, the war between the Southern Ming and the Qing court has a stalemate in the southwest, and it was not until the fourteenth year that Sun Kewang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and this stalemate was broken. Before that, for Nanming, Hong Chengchou not only failed to take the initiative to attack, but even finally despaired to resign under the pretext of illness. But with the civil strife, the Qing army was immediately like a bamboo, not because the strength increased, but because the Southern Ming abandoned his martial arts because of internal strife.

If it is not handled properly, whether the original tragedy will be repeated, Zhu Yongxing is not sure in his heart. But if it's not a smooth transition, chaos is inevitable, just to varying degrees. The current Ming army is not strong, and although the situation has been reversed, it is also very delicate. A little chaos may also lead to changes in the battle situation, and Zhu Yongxing is also extremely worried about this.

Putting aside some messy thoughts, Zhu Yongxing repeatedly thought about the intention of the Burmese envoy this time, as well as various countermeasures, and made plans for the worst. It is definitely impossible for him not to resist and give up power, since he already has a history of falsifying the holy decree. It's nothing to coerce the Son of Heaven and give orders. Although this is a bit hasty and extreme, at this critical time, we can only control Yongli and the small court by force like the Burmese people, and then find a way to solve it slowly.

Although Zhu Yongxing was a little uneasy, he continued to make arrangements for the entire battle situation. He successively issued several edicts, some of which were for Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan. There are also for Wu Zisheng, Ma Weixing and Ma Bao, and for the South China Sea Fleet. In view of the Qing court's coastal relocation and the major events that will soon occur, the Ming army must make corresponding adjustments and deployments. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for some people to be unpredictable about him and devote themselves to it.

………………

This is the case with many things in the world, and before the unknown, you speculate, worry and be confused, and then you will find out everything until you know it all. I found that worrying was a little redundant, but things were not as complicated and difficult as you thought.

Zhu Yongxing sat in the chair and listened to the interpreter relay the words of the Burmese envoy, and his mood slowly relaxed.

The death of the crown prince is also a major event, and the Burmese side took the opportunity to send envoys, one is to report. Leave aside the relationship with yourself to avoid possible retaliation and anger of the Ming army; The second is to demand that Zhu Yongxing no longer support Siamese arms and weapons. and signed a treaty with Burma, also according to the Siamese rule, as a brotherly state, rather than the Ming Dynasty's Xuanwei Division; The last thing is to ask for money and goods for the food and accommodation of the Yongli monarchs and ministers.

"Er Xuanwei Division was originally sealed by my China, and now my emperor and ministers live temporarily. It is also the upper state of the Celestial Empire. The king of Er should be respectfully offered, and it will be a gift to the lower state. How to besiege our emperor and ministers, be deceived by the Ertu people, and kill the messengers I sent several times......" Zhu Yongxing thought for a long time. Immediately turn the defense into the offensive and take the initiative, "If it is said that the small country is poor and weak, and cannot afford to welcome it, then I will send my emperor and his ministers out of the country, and I should pay all the expenses." ”

The Burmese envoy was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhu Yongxing to be so tough, and hurriedly took out Yongli's edict and explained to Zhu Yongxing that Yongli monarchs and ministers had no intention of leaving Burma, and there was an edict from Yongli to the officials guarding the passes in Burma, which contained the words "I have sailed to Fujian, and then the officers and soldiers of each battalion will come, and they can fight to exterminate them", in order to prove that the war with the Ming army entering Burma and the killing of the messenger into Burma were not meant by Burma, but by Yongli.

It's pathetic and pathetic. Zhu Yongxing read the edict and couldn't help sighing in his heart, such an emperor pinned Zhongxing's hopes on him, and he was really desperate for fish.

Although the Yongli court still regarded itself as the suzerain, in fact it was a fleeing country, which the Burmese monarchs and ministers were naturally very aware of. In order to avoid the difficulty of etiquette, the Burmese king refused to receive the envoy and only sent Han Chinese messengers to convey the message. When they first entered Myanmar, the Burmese authorities also gave some material help, which is called "a lot of tribute". Emperor Yongli also carried a little savings, intending to give back a generous gift, which was a condescending "reward" in the usual words of the Ming Dynasty. However, Burmese officials said: "I dare not salute without the king's order", meaning that I did not want to pay a vassal salute to the Ming emperor.

Now, the Burmese authorities, believing that they have Yongli monarchs and ministers as hostages, have finally taken a substantial step to follow the example of Siam, take off the hat of the Xuanwei Division, and become an equal country with the Southern Ming. Obviously, such a request was not approved by the Yongli monarchs.

Historically, the younger brother of the king of Burma, Mang Bai, staged a palace coup d'état, executed the old king, and after establishing himself as queen, he sent an envoy to ask for congratulatory gifts from Emperor Yongli. Of course, the Burmese authorities clearly did not intend to gain money, but to strengthen their political position through a merely symbolic congratulatory message from the Ming emperor. However, the Yongli monarch and ministers "did not send congratulations because their affairs were not right". The inflexible attitude of the Nanming government-in-exile finally worsened the already poor relations with the Burmese side in order to maintain the face and reputation of the Celestial Empire.

Zhu Yongxing thought about it, and soon analyzed it clearly, and couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. If Myanmar wants to obtain the title and political status that it cannot get from the Yongli monarch and ministers, will it not be even more necessary to block the contact between the Yongli monarchs and the outside world.

"Our country is a small state, and it really has no intention of hurting the monarchs and ministers of the Celestial Empire. If the battalions of the Celestial Empire enter the Burmese border and kill the people, the people will be resentful and make a covenant with each other, and I am afraid that something will happen! While explaining, the Burmese envoy also implied a threat, apparently fearing that the Ming army would use force to rescue the Yongli monarch and ministers.

Since you think that the eternal monarch is a strange commodity to live in, and you want to get more and greater benefits from me, then it will be as you wish. It's just that this may also give him an opportunity to weaken the strength of Yongli and the small court, which can be grasped well.

Zhu Yongxing secretly sneered, the state of brothers is just a name; Political status must also be maintained by strength. Myanmar is really stupid. (To be continued......)
