The wife of Queen Zhu Youlang, who loves her son, also has long hair and short knowledge. She didn't know the strategic significance of the Zhu family's stay in the territory during this extraordinary period, and when she heard that she was going to send her son to the tea mountain, she jumped up in a hurry and scolded: "Mu Tianbo, it's inhuman." ”

"The loyalty of the Duke of Qianguo can be learned, and it is also for the sake of my country-" Zhu Youlang said.

The queen cried and cried: "Your Majesty, if our son is sent to Chashan, once there is chaos, there will be no place to bury him." The son is gone, and the concubine should not live......"

"That's it, if you don't go, you won't go." Zhu Youlang couldn't resist the queen, so he could only shake his head helplessly and obey the queen's words.

As a result, Mu Tianbo's long-term plan was not implemented as he wished because of many obstacles, and the Nanming army in Yunnan Province was leaderless, and was either absorbed by Wu Sangui, or occupied the cottage and became bandits.

After Zhu Youlang and others arrived in Burma, the Burmese king Mangda saw that Zhu Youlang was the temporary emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and began to be polite to him.

Zhu Youlang felt a little happy, fluttering up, hehe, being the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really majestic! How do you know that when the property and alms brought by Zhu Youlang are almost over, the day of sending people under the fence will come.

In order to test whether Zhu Youlang's attitude was tough, the Burmese king Mangda sent someone to invite Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, claiming that he had crossed the river to Awa City to participate in the Burmese New Year Festival on the 15th. Out of consideration for Zhu Youlang's life, Mu Tianbo still agreed to the envoy's request nervously.

After crossing the river, Mu Tianbo carried the gift that Zhu Youlang originally planned to give, and outside the palace, the guards stopped Mu Tianbo: "My king has an order, you must take off the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the palace." ”

Mu Tianbo reprimanded the guards with righteous words: "I am Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the Duke of Qianguo governs the Tusi of Yunnan on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, and deals with the affairs of the surrounding vassal countries, no!" ”

A Burmese man who looked like a minister walked over and sneered: "The Ming Dynasty has long been finished, and my king invited you here today to give you enough face." Whether your face is important, or Zhu Youlang's life is important, you weigh it yourself. ”

Mu Tianbo subconsciously touched his sleeve, the meteor hammer was still there, and he said loudly: "Despise my Da Ming, be careful that I smash your head." ”

The minister was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away, and reported to Mangda, and after a while, hundreds of heavily armed Burmese troops came, and a commander was triumphant: "Qianguo Gong, get acquainted, this is our Burmese territory - Ava City, not your Yunnan Muwangfu!" ”

Mu Tianbo still didn't back down: "What about Ava City, I, Mu Tianbo, and the Yang family have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and I am on call at any time at your border." Although I have few people now, once my Ming army enters Burma, I will kill you chickens and dogs! He ordered dozens of his followers to prepare their weapons and fight against the Burmese army, and there was a stalemate for a while.

Mangda finally appeared, he clapped his hands and smiled: "Mu Tianbo, you want to splash blood in Ava City, this king will fulfill you!" As long as the king gives an order, Zhu Youlang's kid's life is not guaranteed. ”

Mu Tianbo said: "You take the saint to threaten me, count you as a kind!" So he told his entourage to lay down his weapons and entered the palace with his gifts.

Mu Tianbo had no choice but to change into the national costume of Burma, and together with the envoys of the small Burmese states, he went to the palace in front of the King of Burma with a courtesy, and bowed to the King of Burma barefoot and wearing national costumes.

The king of Burma and the ministers looked at the majestic Mu Tianbo in the past and saluted, and laughed one by one. Mu Tianbo really wanted to rush forward at this time and tear the old guy Mangda to pieces, but he still held back his temperament, didn't Han Xin also have the humiliation of his crotch back then?

Mu Tianbo scolded in his heart: "Mangda, you old immortal, dare to humiliate the Ming envoys, you wait for me!" ”

After returning from the ceremony, Mu Tianbo said to the officials who went to the court with him: "When I was in Jinggan, they did not listen to my good words, and they would have today's shame, if I did not submit to the king of Burma, the emperor would definitely not be able to preserve." Who got me to this point? Is it the Ming Dynasty to which I am allegiated? So Mu Tianbo cried bitterly.

After hearing this, Yang Zai, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Ren Guoxi, a pedestrian, wanted to put Mu Tianbo to death, and the two jointly impeached Mu Tianbo for losing his body and humiliating the country.

Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang was still a little human at this time, and he knew that Mu Tianbo was humiliated for him, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he suppressed the twist and turn, and no longer held Mu Tianbo accountable......

Sun Kewang played Emperor Shunzhi and asked to use the official family to bring his younger brother's family, who had been separated for more than ten years, to Beijing for reunion, and was collectively impeached by the imperial history officials of the Qing court, and Shunzhi was furious. In addition, Sun Kewang saw that the Qing court crossed the river and demolished the bridge, was too violent, and wantonly slaughtered civilians, so he asked to retire and no longer provide valuable information for the Qing court.

Zhu Youlang fled into the city of Ava, Myanmar to survive, and Li Dingguo led tens of thousands of troops to fight on the Sino-Burmese border. At that time, the traitor Wu Sangui had already formulated a battle plan to pursue the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and wanted to wipe out all the Ming troops in the western Yunnan region.

Zhu Youlang, who lived in Burma, looked forward to the stars and the moon, and Yang Qiaoran in southern Yunnan finally sent a secret messenger from the car, and brought a letter to Zhucheng opposite Ava City, and reported to Zhu Youlang about the Ming army's tragic victory in the Battle of Mopan Mountain-

In February of the thirteenth year of Yongli (1659), 100,000 Qing troops set out from Kunming, all the way to the west, crossed the Nu River, and approached Tengyue Prefecture (now Tengchong, Yunnan). Tengyue Prefecture is the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty, has not been developed, dense jungle, miasma, Li Dingguo in Yunnan for more than ten years, is very familiar with the terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, pulled the troops into the deep valley and dense forest mountainous area, to preserve strength.

Under the leadership of Wu Sangui and others, the Manchu and Han coalition forces were menacing, and they did not encounter any resistance along the way, and Bai Wenxuan was also driven down the Lancang River by him, which was ecstatic, and he was very optimistic that the Ming army had fled from the wind, and said: "Li Dingguo is a bird with a frightened bow, not to be afraid, and it will not be long before Li Dingguo is captured!" ”

Therefore, Wu Sangui ordered Gushan Ezhen Sharibu and others to lead 10,000 horses as the vanguard and advance at full speed, while he walked leisurely behind. The next day, Wu Sangui led a large group of men and horses to cross the Nu River, into the Mopan Mountain, the road is rugged, narrow and difficult to travel, the narrowest place can only accommodate a horse barely passing.

Wu Sangui looked around, the peaks were clustered, the forest was dense, but he saw that the Mopan Mountain was high in the middle, except for a curved path, there was no other path to find. He ordered people to inspect it carefully, but he did not find anything unusual, and from time to time a few crows passed happily and chirped, only to break the silence of the mountains and forests slightly.

The mountains are so dead and quiet, as a general who leads his troops to fight, he will naturally be extra cautious, especially when entering a narrow place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But Wu Sangui is a very conceited person, thinking that without Sun Kewang as a guide, he can still eat Li Dingguo, so he doesn't care.

Wu Sangui thought he had sent someone to search, and the scouts came back to report that no Ming troops had been found in the vicinity.

"Even if there is a Nanming army, it is scattered and vulnerable. Let's go! Wu Sangui ordered the army to continue to advance boldly, wanting to cross Mopan Mountain and pursue the Ming army westward.

As everyone knows, Li Dingguo has been waiting here for a long time, and he came to close the door and beat the dog, and the ambush was both ingenious and as strict as an iron bucket. He adapted measures to local conditions, covered the valley with **, set up several fences, and ambushed three ambushes: ordered Tai'an Bodou Fame to be the first ambush, Guangchang Hou Gao Wengui to be the second ambush, and the chief soldier Wang Xi to be the third ambush. Each ambush arranged 2,000 troops, and Li Dingguo led 10,000 people, totaling 16,000 people.

Suddenly, Dou Mingwang said to Li Dingguo: "My surname is Dou, and the mountain name is 'Mopan'." There are beans (sinus) in the world that are grinding and not rotting? Today is the day of my death! ”

Li Dingguo comforted Dou Mingwang and said: "Tai'anbo, it's peaceful." Say all the sad things. I command you, you must give me back alive! Bring the wine—"

So, after Dou Mingwang drank a few liters, he removed the slug on his mount and prepared to charge the battle: "King Jin, I'll go." ”

"Take care!"

Looking at the back of Dou Fame's fame, Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, usually Dou Fame would not say such a thing for no reason, I hope it will not be a prophecy.

The three ambushes sniped in front, and the base camp was camped on the olive slope forty miles behind the mountain, and the 6,000 troops in ambush carried pre-made dry rations to avoid the smoke from cooking and being detected by the Qing army.

These 6,000 ambushed Ming troops have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are the elite of the elite, and they are all elite soldiers and fierce generals. It was agreed that after the Qing army crossed the top of the mountain and entered the third ambush circle, the artillery was issued, and the soldiers in the three ambushes launched an attack together, attacking head to tail and killing the enemy by surprise.

Everything went smoothly according to the original plan, but Li Dingguo was on the top of the mountain, and suddenly his heart ached, and he remembered that there was a key order that had not been issued, that is, if someone dared to defect in the battle of life and death, report to the Qing army, and kill the traitor by all means and at all costs.

"Who should I send to convey it? Lu Guisheng ran fast, let him go, Lu Guisheng-" Li Dingguo shouted.

"Lu Guisheng-" shouted several times, but Lu Guisheng didn't come out to respond.

At this time, Li Dingguo noticed that Lu Guisheng was not by his side, and secretly complained in his heart. This guy is from the Hongguang Dynasty Guanglu Temple Shaoqing (from the fourth grade, equivalent to the deputy director of the catering center of the Great Hall of the People, deputy director level), with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, has never had a good impression of him.

"Where did Lu Gui's life and death go at this time?" Li Dingguo scolded.

Li Dingguo turned around and asked the attendants beside him: "Have you seen Lu Guisheng?" ”

Everyone shook their heads and said, "No." ”

"It's broken, something big must happen." Li Dingguo held down his sword and said anxiously.

"King Jin, do you want to chase him back?" The squire asked.

"It's too late...... If you go to chase Lu Guisheng, you will startle the snake. The enemy has entered the first ambush circle and is rushing towards the second. Li Dingguo's cheeks twitched a few times, "I hope my suspicion is wrong." ”
