"Again...... Another 10,000 taels? ”

When the Burmese king Mangbai was temporarily raised, his first reaction was not anger, but asked: "The two Chinese generals, do you increase the price by 10,000 together, or by 10,000 respectively?" ”

The one who came to spread the word was the meticulous work of the Yunnan Institute of the National Security Institute, who followed Shangjia in Myanmar for several years. This meticulous work quickly followed the train of thought of the king of Burma, and hurriedly said: "A general increases the price by 10,000 taels, and our army is strictly disciplined and is not allowed to collect money privately. The friendly forces in the north and east are almost coming, and the two generals need more silver to deal with it. ”

"I know, I know." Mang Bai immediately understood that the form had changed, and the more troops that were killed, the more generals needed to be settled with silver.

You have to hurry up and loot the silver, otherwise the Datong army will be killed, and there will not be so much money to redeem yourself.

Damn, due to the urgency of the royal driver's personal conquest, the goods of the capital were not brought over. The Chinese general doesn't trust us, so he has to pay a deposit of tens of thousands of taels here, otherwise when he returns to the capital, won't it be easy to get all this silver?

Mang rolled his eyes and asked, "Can I use treasures to deduct gold and silver?" ”

"What treasure?" Ask a rhetorical question.

"Thirty-six "Three Tibetan Sutras" written by Bayeux, as well as a large number of relics of eminent monks." Mangbai blurted out.

He came to this city with the merchant and knew what these Buddha treasures meant. Subconsciously replied, "It should be...... You can deduct gold and silver. ”

Mang Bai thought for a while, and then said, "These scriptures and relics should be used as collateral, and when I return to Ava City, I will redeem them with more gold and silver." ”

"Yes, yes." Hosaku nodded repeatedly.

Although there are many old capitals in Myanmar, Bagan City is definitely the one with the longest history and culture.

It was the capital of the Anuradha Dynasty of Burma, the first unified dynasty in Myanmar that included the Burmese, Shan, and Mon ethnic groups. The large and small Buddhist temples in the city have been built for more than 200 years, with a total of more than 13,000 pagodas. Legend has it that there are 4.44 million pagodas in a radius of hundreds of miles outside the city, so Bagan is also known as the "City of Four Million Pagodas".

Later, when Western colonizers came here, the Bagan pagoda was destroyed to just over 2,000 and countless Buddha treasures were also missing.

Before, it was only a loot of the rich merchants in the city, and the soldiers did not dare to attack the temple.

Now, under the orders of the Burmese king, the Burmese army stormed the 36 largest temples and forced the monks to hand over the bay leaf scriptures and relics treasured in the temples.

When the news broke, the crowd was excited.

Even many noble generals were angry with the Burmese king. They did not oppose the looting of wealthy businessmen, and even actively participated in it, but they must not intrude on the temple, let alone hand over the Buddha treasures.

"We can't win, Bagan City will be breached sooner or later."

"We can't let Mangbai continue to be the king, and if Mangda is the king for a few years, he will force us to pay more tribute. If Mang Bai returns to Ava alive and continues to be his king, he will definitely raise the tribute tax, otherwise where will he get the money and food to rule the country? ”

"That is, the tribute tax has increased year after year, and it cannot be increased in the future."

"Mangbai is disrespectful to the Buddha, he is not qualified to be a king again!"

"And that black runa, who controls the court and the king. The children of his family not only expropriated their own fiefdoms, but also extended their hands to other people's territories. This traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people cannot let him live any longer. ”

“……”

It is true that Hei Lu Na has prestige in the court, and it is true that he has connections in the Burmese army. But more than 100,000 soldiers were lost in the First World War, and there was no prestige, and the military began to question this person's ability.

The most important thing is that the city was besieged by the Datong army, and I heard that the capital side would also be attacked. These noble generals in Burma must push one or two people out to take the blame, maybe they can get the forgiveness of the Chinese emperor, and maybe they can keep their own fiefdoms.

And the person who bears the blame, the Burmese king Mangbai is counted as one, and the traitor Hei Lu is also counted as one.

Before Mang Bai could send out the Bayeux Sutra and the relics, dozens of noble generals had already been connected in series.

"Capture the tyrant alive!"

"Kill the traitor!"

The noble generals led their armies and slaughtered from all directions, mingling with the guards of the reckless white and black reckless.

The Burmese army, who was still defending the city, was nervous by the shouting and killing in the city, and stood on the city wall without knowing what was happening.

"Bang bang bang!"

The musket units used in this infighting crackled so much that movement could be heard even outside the city.

"It's ...... Fighting? Ding Jiasheng was a little surprised.

Yang Zhan couldn't cry or laugh: "Take the opportunity to attack the city." ”

The two of them pretended to be greedy for money, but they had two purposes: first, to make the Burmese army relax their vigilance, give birth to the psychology of being able to sue for peace, and then look for opportunities to attack the city; Second, through the Burmese king to loot a lot of money, the Datong army does not have to rob civilians, and can easily get more booty.

Unexpectedly, it actually caused the Burmese army to get out of infighting.

The moat outside Bagan is too wide for the Datong army to fill in, and now they are directly building pontoon bridges with bamboo and wood.

Outside the city, the Datong army approached, and inside the city, there were their own people fighting among themselves, and the defenders on the city walls were at a loss. When several pontoon bridges were erected, the Burmese defenders suddenly began to flee, and most of them rushed into the city to loot.

There were also a few middle-level officers who led the troops to open the city gate: "If you want to live, come with me to open the door and surrender!" ”

Thousands of Datong troops crossed the moat, and the oncoming city gate suddenly opened, and two or three thousand Burmese troops knelt outside the city gate and surrendered.

Yang Zhan led the cavalry to rush in from the city gate, and the city was already in chaos. Everywhere there were rebellious soldiers who killed people and set fires, and everywhere there were people crying and fleeing. Many Burmese soldiers killed entire families of residents, changed into civilian clothes, and hid in houses pretending to be civilians.

The infighting finally decided the winner, and a group of aristocratic generals knelt down at the street to greet Yang Zhan.

Hei Ru Na has been dismembered by a knife, and the Burmese king Mang Bai is still alive.

"You are the Burmese king Mangbai?" Yang Zhan asked condescendingly on horseback.

Mang Bai trembled: "The general spares his life, the general spares his life, I will give the silver according to it, and beg the general to let me live." ”

Yang Zhan glanced at those noble generals again and reassured: "You have done a good job, I will tell Your Majesty the truth and keep your title and fief." Of course, the premise is that you are honest and obedient. ”

As soon as the interpreter said this, the noble generals rejoiced: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of China, and a thousand years old General!" ”

At this time, the political system of Burma was more complex, belonging to a mixture of counties, feudalism, and slavery.

First of all, all the land of the whole country belongs to the king.

Secondly, the king, like Zhou Tianzi, only ruled a part of the region. The rest of the area was divided among the royal family, nobles, and officials. (Northern Tusi also belonged to the feudal lords)

There are three kinds of people: Amdan, Ahsan, and Zun.

"Amdan" belonged to the servicemen, mainly craftsmen and soldiers.

"Assan" belonged to taxpayers, mainly farmers and merchants. (Burma is divided into counties, and the king can send people to collect taxes, but half of the tax goes to the lord, and the king will be considered a tyrant if he takes too much)

The two groups, Amdan and Asan, can be flexibly transformed.

As long as the king orders, the taxpayer also serves, and the service also pays taxes.

"Zun" means slaves, not only the princes and nobles have slaves, but also slaves are kept in the temple. Princes and nobles often donated slaves to the monastery, which was seen as a great act of kindness in honor of the Buddha.

For feudal lords, as long as they don't take away their fiefs, it doesn't matter who becomes the king, and even they can accept a change of dynasty.

The plan formulated by the Chinese imperial court was to support the Mon people to establish a state in Lower Burma, and then to support the Dai people to establish a state in Central Burma. A pile of toast in northern Myanmar was thrown to these two countries as lords. The Burmese lords who defected and surrendered could also retain their fiefs and continue to be nobles in these two countries.

One can imagine how chaotic these two small countries will be in the future.

The contradiction between the old and new aristocracy, as well as the national feud, can be played out in the dog's brain.

No matter what happens in the future, anyway, at this moment, the lords kneeling in front of Yang Zhan are all happy. Their plan succeeded, killing the king and traitors, and sure enough, they were forgiven by the Celestial Empire, and they could continue to be local nobles.

Yang Zhan said: "It's too chaotic in the city, you go and take care of it." And no one is allowed to take the goods of the king of Burma, so take me over and receive them. ”

"Yes!"

The Burmese aristocratic generals have become loyal to their duties one by one.

They led their armies to quell the riots in the city, and they were honestly optimistic about all kinds of booty. Even if the Datong Army wants to collect grain and grass, these guys will take it out in one go.

Even, the Bayeux Sutra and the relics were all left untouched.

What is disrespectful to the Buddha?

This kind of ignorance has long been forgotten.

The Buddha treasure is destined to be obtained, and the general of the Celestial Empire is obviously destined to be a person.

After Ding Jiasheng entered the city, he pretended to be a pretense and personally sent the Bayeux Sutra and relics back to the monastery where they had been enshrined.

In the end, he left a copy and said to the abbot of the temple who did not take back the Buddha treasure: "This expedition to Burma was caused by the provocation of the Burmese king. Thirty-six Bayeux Sutras, the thing should be returned to the original owner. But His Majesty the Emperor is also a believer in Buddhism, so he left a Bayeux Sutra, please go back to Nanjing Bao'en Temple to worship, and hope that the master can understand. We don't take it in vain, these treasures and grains are left in your temple to worship the Buddha. ”

"Amitabha, the Bayeux Sutra can be enshrined by His Majesty, this is the Buddha's will!" The abbot is indeed a virtuous monk.

Did the Buddha treasure be taken back for nothing?

Of course not.

Eat people with a short mouth, and take people softly.

These temples sent monks everywhere to promote the good deeds of the Datong army. He also said that this military disaster was caused by the king of Burma, and the sins should be borne by the king of Burma and the traitorous ministers.

After some operation, the people and soldiers in the city felt that the Datong army was a good person who respected Buddha. The Chinese emperor in Nanjing, who was far away, received the Buddha's will to send troops to punish the tyrants of Burma.

The Burmese king Mangda has plagued the people for several years, and the government and the opposition have long complained about him.

Now that everything is straightened out, the king of Burma is a tyrant, and the Buddha has decreed that the emperor of China will send troops to levy it.

No matter how many people die, it is caused by the king of Burma!

What the monks said, the Burmese military and civilians were convinced.

Bagan City is the religious center of Myanmar, and this statement will definitely spread in the future. No matter how fierce the fight is here, it is also the nobles who are doing evil, and China and the Chinese emperor are always good.
