Zhu Yongxing blinked his eyes, and said in his heart: We Han people also have an ancient saying: Nothing to be courteous or a thief. This old man has to figure out what he wants to help himself.

"I wonder why we want to help His Highness, right?" The old man seemed to see through Zhu Yongxing's thoughts, sighed faintly, took out a very old book, and slowly talked about it.

From the end of Jiajing to Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the army of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma invaded the border of Yunnan in China, causing a war that lasted for decades. Thirty-four years after Wanli, the Sino-Burmese wars basically ceased. This was because on the Chinese side, the Ming dynasty's rule was in jeopardy and could no longer recover the vast areas occupied by Burma.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty lost its control over the military and civilian consolation envoys of Mengyang (whose jurisdiction was north of present-day Bhamo and Kaytai, west of the Irrawaddy River, and east of the Naga Mountains, and was located in present-day Monyang, Myanmar) and the military and civilian consolation envoys of Mubang (whose jurisdiction corresponded to the northeastern region of present-day Shan State, Burma, and was located in present-day Xingwei, Myanmar).

The Mengshan Ke nationality is indeed a branch of the Miao nationality, and if the Miao nationality really wants to divide into different branches, there are no less than dozens of Miao people in the four provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Guizhou in China, and the Miao people are just a general term. Speaking of this old man, he is not an ordinary patriarch, his name should be Meng Yang Siwei, and his ancestor was the Tusi of the Meng Yang Military and Civilian Propaganda Envoy appointed by the Ming Dynasty. When the Burmese soldiers attacked Mengyang, the last Tusi Mengyang Si Bang led his troops to resist and asked the Ming Dynasty for help, but the reinforcements did not arrive, Si Bang was finally defeated and died, and the Mengshan Ke people fell into the rule of the Burmese.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. This old saying comes from China, but the Burmese people also think so. The residents of the former Xuanfu Mission, including the Mengshan Grams, were restrained in every possible way, and did not hesitate to use extremely violent means.

"Yingli (the king of Burma) was very miserable, and all the guilty were buried in the earth, and their heads were exposed, and they were raked with oxen, and they were reinstated with firewood and grass, and they were burned with fire, and they were happy to look at each other. Jiangtou City (one said in today's Burma Bamo, one said in today's Myanmar Jiesha) outside the original Daming Street, Fujian, Guangzhou, Jiang, Shu live in tens of thousands, and the three Xuan six comforts were carried by tens of thousands, the old Wen Tianbing (referring to the Ming Dynasty army) will be the southern expedition, afraid that its people should be internal, imprisoned by the river, set fire to death, abandoned the body to cover the wild Saijiang ......" Meng Yang Siwei closed the old book, his face was full of pain, his fists were clenched tightly, and his face also showed green tendons.

Zhu Yongxing really knows this history, this place originally belonged to China's land, and the residents were all Chinese subjects, this old man hated the Burmese government, did he want to use his own strength to restore the glory of his ancestors again?

Siwei was angry for a moment, slowly returned to normal, and continued: "The Burmese are vicious and greedy, not only driving our people to this remote area, but also dividing the big tribe into several small tribes and living separately. The Burmese Tusi is even more gloomy, and from time to time uses various excuses to make things difficult. When he heard that there was a golden bear king in the mountains, he ordered our people to hunt and sacrifice his skin. For this reason, our tribe suffered dozens of casualties before and after, but they returned in vain. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, it was a loss to His Highness to kill him, so that our clan escaped. ”

I see, Zhu Yongxing nodded and asked, "Uncle, then why do you think that I am a divine envoy and gave me this." He held up his hand and showed the ring.

Siwei smiled slightly and said, "There are wizards in my clan, who can be lucky and evil. After repeated setbacks in the hunt for the Bear King, the sorcerer prayed to the ancestors and gods that a divine messenger would come to relieve the clan from this disaster and make our clan return to its former prosperity. Isn't this in time for His Highness's arrival? ”

It's just a coincidence, and the wizard is talking nonsense, but he just happened to bump into it. Of course, Zhu Yongxing didn't believe this, but in the time he was thinking hard behind closed doors, he had already figured out a lot of ideas, and he also realized that it was quite difficult to return to Yunnan, and he had to have the help of external forces to achieve it. And this external force, looking at it now, I am afraid that it will fall on the head of the Mengshan Ke people.

After Yongli entered Burma in panic, because he was afraid that the Qing army would follow him, he could not protect himself, and when he left Manmo, he immediately ordered the Tuguan Si Line to cut down trees and block the road. Thinking line has this edict, just after the car set off, the mountains inside and outside the Guanqing searched for three days, encountered the Ming Dynasty officials who chased the car in a hurry were all arrested, confiscated their belongings, the strong and strong were killed under the ditch in front of the pass, the old and weak scattered to the various villages to order them to eat rice, and those who were tortured to death were thrown into the river, and the corpses were wiped out.

It was precisely because of this matter that Zhu Yongxing did not dare to go on the road alone. Unfamiliarity with the road is one reason, and the fear of being killed by the Burmese soldiers, and the death of ambition before payoff, is another important reason. Moreover, today's events also gave him a wake-up call, in the novel, the tiger's body was shocked, and the anger of Wang Ba immediately attracted everyone to bow down, which is not the situation in reality. If you want to make a difference, you have to rely on yourself to be down-to-earth and work hard.

Moreover, even if he enters Yunnan, he is a distant clan, how can he command the surviving Ming army? Although King Li Jin is loyal, he is also a resolute and confident general, and his attitude may be respectful, but following his orders is daydreaming. Some other generals of the Ming army, which did not regard the army as personal property, as a capital for promotion. Even if you fail and surrender, you have soldiers in your hands, and you will have the capital to negotiate with the Qing court, so you can earn yourself a wealth for the rest of your life!

Seeing Zhu Yongxing drooping his eyelids and falling into deep thought, Siwei did not urge, but half-closed his eyes, waiting for his answer as if he was in a fixed state.

It's hard, it's really hard, whether it's to help the Mengshan Khat people free themselves from the brutal rule of the Burmese, or to repeat Shenzhou even more difficult. But he doesn't seem to have a choice, can he endure the ugliness of the rat tail of money, or can endure the brutal rule of the Manchurians, waiting for the happy time of the vaunted "chaff prosperous era". Or hide in this village like a humble mouse, occasionally help them solve their difficulties, and live until their heads and teeth are gone. In fact, he swore generously on the river, and what he said was not just nonsense, but a sincere call from the heart.

"Uncle-" Zhu Yongxing made a decision, in fact, he had already made a decision instinctively, but he didn't expect Siwei to bring up the old matter, and put another burden on him, "The prosperity of the Mengshan Ke clan is closely related to my desire to expel the fishy and repeat Shenzhou. However, things always have to be prioritized, and I am afraid that it will take some time for the prosperity of the Mengshan Clan to flourish. ”

"How long." Siwei's eyes lit up.

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Three years, five years, or even ten years, or I would have died in battle, and I would not be able to realize your wishes." ”
