874 [Pingnan Military and Civil Office]

"The combined forces of Siam and Mon have conquered the city of Donghu," Ding Jiasheng took out a military letter and smiled a little strangely, "The Burmese in Donghu City...... It was killed, and corpses were piled up inside and outside the city. The 500 Datong troops there were ordering the corpses of the Siamese and Mon people to be collected and burned, so as not to break out of the plague when the weather warmed up. ”

Yang Zhan sighed: "What a big hatred this is." ”

Ding Jiasheng said: "In the past 100 years, Siam has been besieged many times, and even the capital has fallen twice. The Mon people were oppressed for a long time, and they were slaughtered in every uprising. This time, if they find an opportunity, they will definitely have to pay for it with blood. ”

Taungoo City is the old capital of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma, and it has been less than 30 years since the capital was moved, and a large number of Burmese nobles live there.

It is estimated that 20,000 or 30,000 Burmese people in the city alone were slaughtered.

In addition, in the entire Lower Burma region, the Burmese landlords who did not have time to run were almost completely killed. Even if they ran away, the land was robbed, and many Burmese peasants were enslaved, while Mon slaves were freed.

Ding Jiasheng sent an order, and the envoy took it to Donghu.

Donghu City.

Yang Dongkui asked, "What does the Celestial Empire General say?" ”

King Nalai sighed: "Alas, General Ding asked me to withdraw my troops, saying that the war in the north is over. ”

Yang Dongkui said with relief: "Your Highness, it is good to withdraw the troops, this time it has been harvested." ”

Siam did make a profit this time, taking the opportunity to take two large cities, as well as a large coastal area - Burma's territory in the Malay Peninsula, and all south of Mawlamyine was swallowed by Siam.

In addition, Siam also grabbed a lot of goods.

The Siamese and Mongol allied armies robbed casually along the way, and the 500 Datong army was too lazy to take care of it, and it couldn't be managed at all. But what they grabbed must be handed over to the Datong army, and the rest can be distributed by themselves (there must be hidden smuggling and not taken out).

As the newly enthroned king, Narai won a series of foreign victories and expanded large areas of the country, which was enough to consolidate his dominance.

Not a loss, and a big profit.

King Nalai was worried that China was also expanding a large part of the peninsula to the south, and its influence on the Indochina Peninsula was becoming stronger.

Moreover, the Eight Hundred Divisions will definitely become a subsidiary of China, and will be completely out of Siam's control in the future. The jurisdiction of the 800 Divisions, that is, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and other areas of Thailand in later generations.

The arm can't twist the thigh, since China has let the troops be withdrawn, the king of Nalai can only return home with the troops.

As soon as the Siamese army left, the Mon people finally relaxed.

The leaders of the Mon rebel army led their troops north one after another, almost all the way through. When they saw the Burmese landlords, they killed them, and when they saw the Burmese people, they robbed them, and even the Burmese soldiers who fled back to their hometown from Bagan were killed by the Mon army more than 2,000 on the way.

Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan stayed in Bagan to do post-war work, and did not lead troops to Awa, the capital of Burma.

They have already earned enough military merits, and they must leave a little for their allies.

After a few more days, good news came one after another.

Huang Qi's army successfully conquered Anzheng City.

The inspection division led by Lu Liangqi threw away the Tusi coalition army and most of the baggage, marched quickly over the mountains and valleys, and killed from the east to the city of Ava. Knowing that the king was defeated at the front, the army of the Burmese capital, without putting up resistance, surrendered Kaesong.

Immediately, the generals of all walks of life gathered in Ava for a meeting.

Huang Mi was the first to speak: "The north can't just swallow Mengyang and Mubang, although the border terrain is conducive to attack and defense, but the grain grown cannot supply the army. In the future, if there is a resumption of war, it will be necessary to transport military rations from Yunnan. At least the city of Anzheng must also be occupied, and there are large plains along the river where you can farm. ”

Lu Liangqi also said: "Meng Gong also has to occupy it, connect with Mubang, and spend decades building post stations and post roads along the way. Otherwise, in the future, when troops are sent to fight, eighty percent of the time will be spent on the road over the mountains and mountains. ”

"I agree, after all, the detailed work does not know how to fight, and the information provided must be corrected." Ding Jiasheng said.

The generals jointly went up, and while waiting for the order of the imperial court, they still called the Tusi of northern Burma, the Burmese lords, and the leaders of the Mon tribe together.

Huang Qi said to these people: "The Donghu Kingdom has been destroyed, and this land of Burma should build a new dynasty." The emperor of the Celestial Empire had an order to establish a state in the south, with the Meng people as kings. and built a country in the north, with the Dai people as kings. The toast knife and wooden prayer in the car have always been loyal and obedient, and this time the army is also meritorious, and he can be the king of the Dai people. ”

Dao Mu was stunned, and then rejoiced.

He wasn't even a toast, and the toast in the car was his nephew. And the car is full of mountains, what can compare to the fertile plains of Central Burma?

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Dao Muqi was so excited that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the north: "Thanks to Your Majesty's appreciation, if I become a king, I will be loyal to the Celestial Empire for generations, and I will be a fence of the Celestial Empire for eternity!" ”

These words belong to the heart, at least at this moment, Dao Mu Qi is grateful to Emperor Zhao.

Huang Qi also said: "Meng Lian Tusi and Meng Gong Tusi are the left and right prime ministers of the Dai State. You can take your soldiers and people and move here to choose a fief, and you can discuss how to do it with Daomuqi. ”

These two toasters were a little confused, but the plains of Central Burma were fertile and rich, and they did not resist much.

Huang Qi continued: "The rest of the Tusi can choose to move to the Dai country, or they can stay in their hometown and become the mayor of the town. ”

Just when those little toasts hesitated, the "King of Dai" Dao Muqi took the initiative to send out an invitation: "You all come, as long as you come, all of them have fiefs and become big officials!" ”

Dao Muqi's thinking is very clear, he came to be the king of the Dai country, he is not familiar with the place, and the troops are a little insufficient, so he can't suppress the locals at all. And those northern Myanmar toasts are also outsiders, and they can completely huddle together for warmth, form a community of interests, and join hands to suppress local forces.

The little Tusi were a little excited, their original territory was at most half a county, and some even ruled only a few villages. If you move here, the land will be bigger in an instant, and the land will be more fertile.

"I ...... I would like to go to the Dai country. Meng Long Tusi from Mubang took the lead in expressing his position.

The original territory of this goods was not small, but the territory was all mountainous, and there were only 10,000 or 20,000 people under its rule.

"I'd like to go, too."

"Count me in."

More than eighty percent of the small toasts are willing to relocate.

They have already seen that China is clearly going to annex territory, so what does it mean to stay and be the mayor? It's better to go south and get a fief.

Huang Qi said: "You go to discuss how to divide the territory, remember one thing, only the clansmen and private soldiers within the five suits are allowed to move south, and the people on the original territory are not allowed to take them away!" Private soldiers are soldiers that you have raised for a long time, and you are not allowed to treat ordinary people as private soldiers. And your slaves will be left behind! If you don't have enough territory, you can go to the kingdom of Meng further south. ”

These northern toasts were immediately thrown out of the venue, discussing how to divide the territory.

Huang Qi asked the Meng people again: "You haven't elected a king yet?" ”

The leaders of the Mon tribe looked at each other.

They had already chosen, but there were a bit of a lot of them, and there were three kings.

A king, from the Meng people who followed Ding Jiasheng north. A king, from the city of Bago. A king, from Mathupha.

Huang Qi said helplessly: "You guys go back and discuss." ”

A group of Meng leaders held meetings every day, and they fists and feet each other when they opened.

After tossing for more than half a month, a constitutional monarchy was adopted.

The Mon people were proficient in commerce, and more than 100 years ago, they had already been in contact with European colonizers and had some knowledge of the political system of the Netherlands and other countries.

Candidates for the king from Bago who can prove their royal descendants. Therefore, he had the highest legitimacy, and became king without controversy and no suspense.

The other two candidates for kingship, one as a lord of despicability and the other as a lord of Maduba, can probably be understood as two dukes.

The rest of the chieftains also received their own fiefs.

These nobles are about to form a council. Taxes, levies, laws, etc., were to be decided by the council, and the king was not allowed to modify them without permission.

At the same time, there were remnants of the political rules of the Taungoo Dynasty, such as the king's right to send tax collectors to collect taxes on the territory of various lords. In the Donghu Dynasty, the king and the lord were divided fifty-fifty, while in the newly built Meng Kingdom, the king could only take up to forty percent, and the remaining sixty percent of the taxes had to go to the lord.

The division of power in Myanmar is almost as soon as it is decided.

The Kachin are still cultivating slash-and-burn farming, and many of them have been zoned into China. The Karen people are widely distributed, but they are also scattered, and some of them are also included in China.

The Burmese people have completely become a ruled nation, and this thunder will explode sooner or later, depending on how long the Dai and Meng countries can suppress it.

The capital of the state of Meng is Bagu, and the capital of the state of Dai is Ava, and the border between the two countries is drawn in the area of Makui in the north of Bei.

The land area of Mon is larger, and it has a long coastline, which is suitable for trade and commerce, but most of the rice fields can only be harvested once a year.

Although Dai is a smaller country and is completely landlocked, many rice fields here can be harvested two or three times a year.

In addition, the Yangon region of Myanmar was ceded to China to establish a port city.

Thailand's mud sea (Bangkok), sent to China to build a seaport.

At this time, Bangkok was just a small fishing village. From Bangkok to the sea, there are mangroves and marshes everywhere, which is why the locals call it the "sea of mud". For Siam, it doesn't matter if they send Bangkok out, it's just a little bit of a reaction, after all, China will be stationed there.

The Datong army withdrew one after another, leaving one division in Awa, 500 soldiers in Rangoon, and 500 soldiers in Bangkok.

The first batch of immigrants organized by the imperial court were sent to Yangon and Bangkok on a priority basis. They all moved from Guangxi and Yunnan, and they were relatively better able to withstand the hot and humid weather, and the number was not much, only one or two thousand people.

The Han Chinese in Burma and Thailand voluntarily migrated to these two ports.

In particular, more than 3,000 Siamese Han people moved to Bangkok within half a year, becoming the absolute majority ethnic group there. With the help of the imperial court, some Han people cultivated swamps for farming, but most Han Chinese were crammed into the port to do business.

After waiting for more than three months, the order of the imperial court finally arrived at Ava.

Emperor Zhao and his cabinet agreed to the generals' request to annex the Mengyangsi, Mubangsi, Chelisi, Menggensi, and Mengliansi, as well as the Anzheng Guocheng (Xingu) and part of the Central Burmese lands to the north.

Among them, Mengyang Division, Cheli Division, Menglian Division, and the northern part of Mubang were all assigned to Yunnan Province and changed to land and returned to the stream.

In the southern part of Mongunsi and Mubang, as well as the newly annexed Central Burma region, the Pingnan Military and Civilian Government was set up. Ding Jiasheng made outstanding achievements in the war and served as the governor of the Pingnan Military and Civil Government.

The "Military and Civilian Mansion" was a kind of local administrative region in the Ming Dynasty, where Tusi, government, Han Chinese, and ethnic minorities were mixed.

The military and civilian governments established in the early Ming Dynasty were almost all toasts. Most of the military and civilian governments in the early and middle Ming Dynasty were not Tusi. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large number of military and civilian governments began to be abolished, and at the same time, they were accompanied by the reform of the land and the return of the stream.

Now the imperial court has set up the "Pingnan Military and Civilian Government", which is also a mixed administrative region.

Because of the complexity of the actual situation, military management was implemented in principle, and the military general served as the supreme commander to prevent the rebellion of the local people. At the same time, in some areas with convenient transportation, prefectures and counties were divided into civilian rule. In more primitive and remote places, small toasts are allowed to exist, and then change the soil to return to the stream when it develops to a certain extent.

For example, the Kachin people in the mountainous areas, rolling mountains, and slash-and-burn farming, how can they send civil officials to govern? Only Kachin chiefs can be appointed as petty toasts.

As for why Ding Jiasheng was in charge of the Pingnan Military and Civilian Mansion, instead of the older Huang Qi, it was purely arranged according to their abilities.

Ding Jiasheng was born as a self-trained "Datong Collection", and when he recovered Yunnan, he deliberately left some borders not to fight, in preparation for the imperial court's conquest of Annam. When he was in Bagan City, he knew that he would return the Bayeux Sutra and use monks to buy people's hearts, so he obviously had the ability to govern the land and secure the people.
