"Thank you Your Highness for taking care of you, the subordinate and his subordinates are not injured." Dao Bailong bowed down and replied: "It's just that the contribution is very small, and the lower officials are ashamed." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way." Zhu Yongxing pointed in the direction of the canyon and said, "At least hundreds of Qing troops were killed by rocks, which is also a great achievement!" ”

Dao Bailong hesitated for a moment, and got to the point, "The lower officials are not familiar with the battle formation, and it is really not suitable to command the battle, please ask Your Highness to appoint a general to command the soldiers of your own clan." ”

Zhu Yongxing's gaze stared, staring at Dao Bailong's face, and he didn't quite understand his true intention to make this move suddenly.

"Your Highness is favored by the gods, and everything will be accomplished. Xia Guan wants to return to Tengchong, and recruit hundreds of strong people from his own clan to come and fight for His Highness. ”

Dao Bailong felt that to gain Zhu Yongxing's trust, this might be the best way. The amount of armed power he can control is a double-edged sword, which is not only a guarantee, but also the main reason for Zhu Yongxing's vigilance. Self-disarming the military power and handing over the elite and strong of the clan to Zhu Yongxing and the Ming generals is undoubtedly the best way to show loyalty.

Zhu Yongxing groaned, a smile slowly appeared on his face, under the control of the Ming army, he still wanted to be a wall grass, it was really uncomfortable! Since he has made up his mind to fall on one side, he naturally wants to entrap it, and the role of the earth snake is not small. Moreover, Zhu Yongxing also has another long-term idea, which can make Dao Bailong see a distant and bright future.

The Dai people were called differently in various dynasties in China. Before the Qin Dynasty, it was called "Pu"; During the Han Dynasty, it was called "Yunnan Pu", "Yunnan Yue", "Shan", etc.; During the two Jin and Southern Dynasties, it was called "wing", "mourning", "Shan" and so on; In the Sui and Tang dynasties, it was called "Ailao", "Nanzhao", "Baiman", "Wuman" and so on; In the Song and Yuan dynasties, it was called "Golden Tooth", "Black Tooth", "Huaman", "White Clothes", etc.; During the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, now, it was called "Baiyi" and "Pengyi".

For Zhu Yongxing, the title is not important, the important thing is that the Dai people are widely distributed, according to the later countries, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and even India. In terms of the names of various countries, there are "Tai", "Lao", "Shan", "Ahong" and so on.

Undoubtedly, if the scattered Dai people can be integrated, or even contacted with each other, Zhu Yongxing will be able to gain quite a lot of eyes and ears among Southeast Asian countries, and obtain favorable conditions for future actions. In particular, Annan and Myanmar, which are the two small countries that Zhu Yongxing is most concerned about at present, are also the targets he wants to attack soon.

Zhu Yongxing's thoughts were churning, but Dao Bailong was worried in his heart, not knowing if his loyalty could be recognized by Zhu Yongxing, and he kept a bowed posture, and beads of sweat were pouring out on his forehead.

"Only those who have a first-class mind can achieve extraordinary causes; Only those who have a great realm can establish great achievements. Zhu Yongxing finally spoke slowly, and Dao Bailong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, listening carefully to these words that he would never forget.

"Dao Tuguan, what you lack is not ability, but mind, vision and realm. Therefore, when it comes to doing things, I often think about it and suffer from gains and losses. Zhu Yongxing first criticized, and then reached out and patted Dao Bailong's shoulder, signaling him to get up, "I'm not afraid that you want more, I'm afraid that you don't have that ambition, and you won't do that." The Mengshan Ke tribe is different, how can the little Gao Ping be satisfied, and the envoy of the Annan capital is not the last target of the Siwei patriarch. ”

"Are they going to tear the earth and seal the domain?" Dao Bailong's eyes widened and he asked in surprise.

"Ripping soil is not accurate, it should be said to be resoiling." Zhu Yongxing corrected: "Annam and Burma were all places under my Ming rule, so what's so strange about recovering them? Although the number of the Mengshan Ke tribe is still small, there is a 'Hemon' tribe in Annam, which belongs to the same clan as it, and it should be united to strengthen the momentum. With the help of the Ming army, it is not impossible to take Gaoping first, and then encroach on other lands, and in time, it is not impossible to take the country of the Zheng clan in Annam. You have many branches, and you have lived in Annam, Siam, Burma and other places, if you can unite, it should be stronger than the Mengshan Gram, right? ”

Dao Bailong blinked his eyes, and a look of excitement and surprise appeared on his face, Zhu Yongxing's meaning seemed to be obvious, he wanted him to learn from the Mengshan Ke tribe, and also have a rippling soil, no, it was to restore the land and seal the domain. But where is the land to be recovered? With his small clan, can he succeed?

"The Burmese people are capricious, and they bully the emperor and the court who have taken refuge, and sooner or later they will be killed." Zhu Yongxing's gaze turned to the south, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a hint of coldness, "The Shan tribe is a branch of the Pengyi tribe, and there are many people living in Shan State in northern Myanmar. In the future, if there is a heart to return to the Ming Dynasty, I should lead the Ming army to help. ”

Shan State, known as the "Kingdom of Miao Xiang" in Sanskrit during the Tang and Song dynasties, was an inseparable region along with southern Yunnan and parts of Thailand and Laos. During the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Shan State and Yunnan were separated, but there was no fixed boundary, and you came and went, and the connection was very close. Among the ethnic groups in Shan State, the Shan (Dai) nationality accounts for more than 60 percent, which is indeed a very favorable condition.

It was not Zhu Yongxing's original idea to instigate and support the country's border Tusi to conquer and plunder abroad, this trick was used by the Ming Dynasty and Burma. By the way, there is also a trick of colluding with his land department, and the inside and outside should be combined. Of course, this is first a means of probing and weakening the other side, and then a large-scale aggression.

Dao Bailong was very interested in Zhu Yongxing's idea, and the lure of recovering the land and sealing the domain was one reason, and the other reason was that the Dao clan had a deep enmity with Burma. During the Wanli period, the Burmese army invaded Yunnan on a large scale, successively burned and plundered Shidian, captured the important town of Shunning, raided Menglin Village, and then broke through Zhanda, killing the deputy envoy of Zhanda, Dao Siding and his people, and thus triggered a large-scale war between the Ming Dynasty and Burma that lasted for decades.

"Your Highness has this intention, and your majesty dares not to do your best." Although Dao Bailong has not thought it through, since he has decided to fall one-sidedly, he can only follow Zhu Yongxing to the dark.

"Five or six years, more than ten years?" Zhu Yongxing smiled as if he was ridiculing and as if he was testing.

"Wait." Dao Bailong took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness is wise and martial, the great cause will be accomplished, the lower officials are gone, and there are children and grandchildren, all of whom are willing to swear to the death." ”

I'm not afraid that you are ambitious, but I'm afraid that you are incapable and unwilling to contribute. Zhu Yongxing's eyes flashed, and he patted Dao Bailong's shoulder hard, at this time, there is no need to say too much, everyone has something to gain. But a blank check was exchanged for the support of another clan, and Zhu Yongxing was of course happy in his heart.

"If the rainy season comes, can you hide a troop in this mountain?" Zhu Yongxing turned around, his eyes moved over the undulating mountains, and said thoughtfully: "No more, five hundred people are enough." ”

Dao Bailong didn't know if he should answer, so he was silent for a long time before he said tentatively: "Although it is difficult, it is not impossible. As long as there is shelter from the rain, enough dry food, and a strong body, five hundred people can still make it up. ”

Zhu Yongxing's eyes narrowed, he stopped talking, and even Dao Bailong thought that he was just a temporary idea, and asked casually.
