Chapter 429 - Establishment of the Burmese Political Envoy Division

Li Mingzhong's report from the Yunnan headquarters was soon sent back to Kunming, the administrative office of the Yunnan political envoy, and spread throughout the southwest region in a short time.

This made Mu Tianbo, who was preparing to go south to conquer the Donghu Dynasty, suddenly embarrassed, he reluctantly read Li Mingzhong's report documents, and said to Mu Zhongxian, the prince of Qianguo, who was allowed to accompany him in the army:

"The Yunnan General Army's soldiers are expensive and fast, but our army has no place to use, and I don't know whether to continue to go south."

"As a child sees, the father should continue south." After thinking about it for a while, Mu Zhongxian said to Mu Tianbo: "Your Majesty's move to conquer Donghu must be more than just supporting the Mangda family, that Mangda and his descendants have long been drowned by Sun Kewang, where can they still be found, as seen by the child, His Majesty is very likely to want to rebuild the province of Burma placed by the former Great Yuan, and supporting the Mangda family is just a pretense."

"If Your Majesty really thinks so, the Burmese will definitely be dissatisfied and plot a rebellion, and the thousands of soldiers and horses of the Yunnan General Army alone will not be able to deal with it.

Mu Zhongxian's words were very reasonable, Mu Tianbo nodded again and again after hearing this, patted Mu Zhongxian's shoulder with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "My milk tiger has grown up, and it won't be long before you can take charge on your own, and I will recommend it to Your Majesty to find an official position for you."

"The father is kind, and the child understands it." Mu Zhongxian refused: "But the child wants to rely on his own ability to make military exploits in the war against Burma, so as to win the favor of His Majesty."

Regardless of the next conversation between the Mu father and son, Mu Tianbo was persuaded by his son to continue to lead the army south, entering the territory of the Donghu Kingdom, announcing the implementation of military administration in the Donghu Kingdom on the grounds of searching for the descendants of Mangda, and scattering the Sixth Town throughout its territory.

Xia Jun's actions immediately aroused the vigilance of many Donghu nobles, they are also members of the ruling class, not so stupid, after Xia Jun announced the implementation of military control, they finally reacted that Xia Jun's purpose is probably not pure.

At this time, the Burmese nobles recalled the fear they had when they faced the behemoth of Dayuan hundreds of years ago, and they felt that they could not go on like this, and then let the Xia army increase their control over Donghu, and it was very likely that Donghu would become a province of the Northern Empire again.

In order to prevent this from happening, the Burmese nobles first took the initiative to feast Li Mingzhong, who was stationed in Ava City, and wanted to find out some information about the imperial court from him, but who knew that Li Mingzhong, the old boy, had a tight mouth, and Mao didn't ask.

Li Mingzhong's strict mouth made the Burmese nobles even more nervous, and they immediately began to secretly collude, intending to gather their respective armies to set off a rebellion before the Xia army reacted, and at the same time invited Mu Tianbo and a group of Xia army generals to Ava City to attend a banquet under the pretext of killing all the Xia army leaders in Ava City.

Although it is not the same time, but the same Burma, I, the Burmese nobles, will show you a show of rebellion against the Xia army today, and Ollie has killed the brothers!

However, the imagination is very full, the reality is very backbone, the Burmese aristocracy is not monolithic, there are naturally those who oppose the Xia army, and there are those who want to curry favor with the Xia army.

Some nobles believed that the Xia army was powerful, and their confrontation with the Xia army was just a moth to the fire and their own destruction, so before the action, they took the initiative to leak secrets to the Xia army's high-level officials, reported the matter, and provided evidence of correspondence.

After reading these letters, Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, was furious, but he suppressed his impulsive emotions and decided to accept the invitation of the Burmese nobles.

However, before leaving, he ordered the army to enter a state of combat readiness, first divided his troops to sneak into Ava City to prepare for it, and ordered Li Mingzhong's troops to secretly surround Ava City and completely control the defense of Ava City.

On August 15 of the ninth year of Wu'an, a group of high-level Xia soldiers led by Mu Tianbo arrived in Ava City to participate in the banquet set by the Burmese nobles.

The Xia army inside and outside the city also launched an attack at the same time, and the noble rebels were fiercely attacked by the Xia army before they could react, and the rebels could only resist one

The rebellion that the Burmese nobles had been planning for a long time was easily crushed by the Xia army, because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, so it was called the "Mid-Autumn Change".

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Xia army used the excuse of purging the rebel party and killed all the nobles who opposed the Xia Dynasty in Donghu, and this vigorous and bloody purge lasted for more than a month, and the forces opposing the Xia Dynasty in Donghu were almost wiped out.

After the news reached Jiangning, the imperial court believed that the time had come to annex the Donghu Kingdom, and immediately announced the direct rule of the Donghu Kingdom under the pretext that all the descendants of Mangda had been slaughtered by Sun Kewang and could not find a suitable heir.

That is, the name of the Taungoo Kingdom was abolished, the Burmese political envoy was set up, and experienced bureaucrats from the southwest region were transferred to serve as Burmese officials.

The powerful Central Plains Dynasty from the north has been with the Southeast Asian countries for thousands of years, and all countries have more or less hidden fears, among which the Vietnamese Nguyen lords in the northern region are the most serious in the country.

However, the Xia Dynasty did not care about the ideas of these small southern countries, and at the same time as setting up the Burmese political envoy, under the order of the imperial court, Li Dingguo, the king of Xining stationed in Jiaozhi, also moved.

On the grounds of harassing the frontier, plundering our people, and disrespecting the kingdom, the court ordered the Vietnamese lord Nguyen Phuc to bring his wife and children to Beijing to meet him, but Nguyen Phuc was extremely afraid of the Northern Empire because of the affairs in Burma, and he ordered the envoy to be thrown into the sea, as if he could escape punishment in this way.

After learning the news of the death of the envoy, Li Dingguo immediately led his army south to attack the two important military towns set up by Lord Nguyen in the north, Ha Hua Province and Lin'an Province.

Although the Ruan army was prepared to deal with it in advance, the Xia army pressed the border, but the Ruan army still could not resist, and the outer camps of the two provinces fell one after another, and the Ruan army could only retreat to the city in a hurry.

When Nguyen Phuc Yen learned of the bad news of the war in the north, he knew that he could not compete with the Xia Dynasty with his own strength, so he sent a number of envoys to the Cham in the south and the Nanzhang in the west, hoping to persuade the two countries to join the war and resist the Xia army together.

At the same time, he did not hesitate to use the money at the bottom of the box to buy a large number of firearms from the Portuguese, and hired hundreds of Portuguese mercenaries to participate in the war.

Nguyen Phuc Binh's request for help was not agreed to by the two countries, and the Vietnamese Nguyen lord had bullied the small Cham kingdom in the south for generations, and the Cham regarded the Nguyen lord as an enemy, and now that he was attacked, he was happier than anyone else, where would he send troops to help.

Although the Nanzhang Kingdom had a huge territory and was strong in the middle, they did not dare to offend the powerful Xia Dynasty, so in order to curry favor with the Xia army, they directly tied up the envoy of Lord Ruan and sent it to Jiaozhi to express their sincerity to the Xia army.

The isolated Ruan lord had no choice but to increase the conscription of troops in the country and send a steady stream of soldiers to the front line, hoping to block the Xia army in the north.

Seeing the stubborn resistance of the Ruan army, Li Dingguo ordered his general Bai Wenxuan to borrow the Nanzhang to bypass the Ruan army's defense line and enter its back.

On the third day of the ninth month of the ninth year of Wu'an, the Xia army conquered Hehua Mansion, and captured Lin'an Mansion two days later.

It is true that Nguyen Phuc Bin was also an outstanding monarch in the history of the Nguyen Dynasty, but under the blow of the Xia army's dimensionality reduction, the Nguyen army could only retreat one after another, and lost many cities one after another, and finally relied on the Jing'an River to block the Xia army under the command of Nguyen Phuc Binh.

On September 19, while the Xia army was stopped on the north bank of the Jing'an River, the soldiers and horses of Bai Wenxuan, the Duke of Gongguo, finally walked out of the Nanzhang Kingdom and entered the south of Jing'an Prefecture.

The Golden Dragon fell, the Ruan army was in chaos, Li Dinh Quoc took advantage of the situation to attack, the Ruan army was defeated again, Nguyen Phuc was on the verge of being shot by Li Dinh Quoc himself in the chaos, and the main force of the Ruan army was almost wiped out in this battle.

The news of the disastrous defeat in Jing'an spread quickly, and the king of Champa thought that this was an opportunity for Yixue to be bullied by the Yue people, and raised troops to declare war on the Nguyen lord, sending troops to seize several cities in the south of the Nguyen lord.

Nguyen Phuc Binh's eldest son, 12-year-old Nguyen Phuc Qin, inherited his father's place, Xia Jun's strong

Da made him dare not have the idea of avenging his father, so he could only go to Jinlong in person to beg for peace with Xia Jun and express his submission.

With the surrender of the Nguyen lord, the Nguyen army in Quang Nam immediately stopped resisting, laid down their arms and accepted the takeover of the Xia army.

Therefore, the Xia army took over the territory of the Ruan clan very smoothly, and for the Cham state that invaded several cities of the Ruan clan in the south, Li Dingguo did not order it to return the occupied cities, but directly ordered Bai Wenxuan to lead the army to continue the southern expedition and destroy the small Champa kingdom.

Seeing the Xia army's southern expedition, the Cham king was terrified, and hurriedly sent an envoy to contact the Xia army, expressing his willingness to return the invaded city and pay tribute to the Celestial Empire, but Bai Wenxuan ignored it, led the army all the way to the south, defeated the Cham army that had no will to fight, and attacked the Cham capital in early November, destroying the Cham kingdom.

At this point, the Annam region was all pacified, and the Huoyu and Shuishe Turen kingdoms also sent envoys to express their submission to the Xia army, and the Xia army took advantage of the situation to enter the territory of the Ershe Tuguo (its area was in modern Gia Lai Province, Vietnam), and announced the implementation of the rule over the place.

After the war was decided, the imperial court put the Ruan Dependencies, the Ershe Tuguo Territories and the Cham Territory under the jurisdiction of the Jiaozhi Envoy Division, and ordered Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, to be stationed in the southern part of Cochin for a long time to stabilize the order in the southern part of Cochin.

As for Nguyen Phuc Qin and his family who surrendered, the imperial court did not exterminate them, but sent them to Siberia together with the rest of the Nguyen nobles.

It is worth mentioning that the Burmese king Mang Bai who was sent to Jiangning was not so lucky, Su Yan disgusted his behavior towards the Yongli Emperor in history, and beheaded him in Jiangning, although his wife and children were spared, but they were also sent to Siberia.

From this point on, Siberia would replace the famous Ningguta as the new exclusive penal colony of the imperial court.
