From the 26th of the first month to the 23rd of February, the war ended.

Except for Si Lun and retreating to Meng Yangcheng - he is the strongest, and the strategy over there may not work.

However, it was only a matter of time before the news of Ava City came back.

In fact, for nearly a month, this "blitzkrieg" only happened in a small area within a radius of more than 100 miles.

Running farther is the Reckless Body.

Poor reckless body, brave reckless body.

Mu Shaoxun and Wu Wending saw this young man outside the southern city of Ava City.

After being defeated by the coalition forces of the three divisions, only a few elite soldiers fled to Donghu. Most of the army behind him was hastily recruited after the "debate" in Kunming brought the news back last year. Before, maybe it was a farmer, maybe it was a hunter.

Their clothes, weapons, height, and posture were in stark contrast to the Ming army behind Wu Wending and Mu Shaoxun.

At this moment, the Ming Sanchen flag fluttering on the city of Ava, and Mang Ruiti, as the king of Donghu, is far apart not only in age, but also in strength.

There was vigilance in his gaze, but it had to be hidden.

Turning over and dismounting, he took off his helmet, stopped the movement of the others, and walked forward alone to kneel on the ground and salute: "The Celestial Empire kept its promise and helped the minister to restore the country, and the minister is grateful!" ”

Wu Wending couldn't help but look at Mu Shaoxun and looked at him deeply.

This is a junior, and he is indeed the one who asked to be canonized as the minister of the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of those soldiers behind him, he is the king after all.

Wu Wending and Mu Shaoxun also dismounted, and after stepping forward, Wu Wending stretched out his hand to help him: "The prince of the world, please get up, the Ming Dynasty sent troops, and he wants to uphold justice." Now that the king has arrived, the generals in the city have bound the thieves to open the city and ask for surrender, so the official first sent the generals into the city to calm the hearts of the people. Now that the scholars have arrived, let's lead the guards into the city first. After waiting for the arrival of Si Xuanwei, a new covenant was made, and His Majesty's canonization decree arrived, and the king would return to the north. ”

Mang Ruiti was a little surprised and a little surprised, but he still opened his mouth to probe: "Now that the minister has returned to the old land, the defense of the cities has not been caught, and this Ava City still has to ask the king of the Celestial Dynasty to do it for him." Food, the ministers should be worshipped......"

"The prince of the world does not need to doubt each other, the governor said, the Ming sent troops, just to uphold justice, and then set a new covenant, and there was no intention of occupying Burma. Now that the people in the city are looking forward to it, the prince should enter the city first. ”

Mang Ruiti looked at the Ming army in front of him and the city gate hole they guarded on both sides and let them out, and nodded after not thinking for long: "The minister obeyed the order and led a hundred guards into the city." ”

"One hundred is a little less, five hundred." Wu Wending's words surprised Mang Ruiti.

“…… The grace of heaven is vast, and the minister is really grateful. ”

Wu Wending only smiled slightly.

Outer Yunnan is much more difficult to govern than Inner Yunnan, and in His Majesty's words, the image of the Ming Dynasty in the minds of the people of Outer Yunnan is more important.

In this battle, it is more important to play the real profit behind.

The report was to be delivered to the capital, and the will to canonize Mang Ruiti had already come, but the new masters of the two divisions of Mu Bang and Meng Yang had to see the direction of the war and who was the more obedient person.

In Ava City, Ji Weimin repeatedly restrained the generals under his hands.

"When I received the decree in Sichuan, His Majesty made it clear that whether or not he had no offense with the people after entering the city after his meritorious service decided whether I could be a marquis when I made meritorious service!" Ji Weimin gritted his teeth, "Don't go to find happiness just because you don't have to fight now, and do something to make the people sent by the Discipline Department of the General Army report it!" Even if it costs a little money! The reward will not be less, Lao Tzu just wants to be a marquis, and he will not deduct you! ”

"The general laughed, the lowly officials didn't dare to ......"

"Ugly words are ahead, even if it costs a little silver!"

How many years has it been, and the Ming generals really beat the foreign people to the city of "disobedience to the king", although this place is nominally under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

But the emperor clearly reminded him in his will, and Ji Weimin did not dare to make a mistake.

Your Majesty obviously has great plans for this Waiyun, and he will not allow the Ming generals to be corrupted.

Ji Weimin's task has been completed, and his next task is to restrain his subordinates not to get carried away, and rob the people's daughters and loot property in this Ava City.

For this reason, he could only go on patrol over and over again, muttering about his marquis everywhere he went.

This kind of behavior of the Ming army fell in the eyes of Mang Ruiti, which only made his mood even heavier.

Such a Da Ming made him feel even more terrifying.

After entering the city, they had to wait for Meng Yang's side to end the chaos, and Si Lun himself and his blood relatives could be sent, and they had to wait for the Xuanwei envoys from Cheli, Eight Hundred Dadian, Laos, or their envoys to come over.

And Mang Ruiti himself has received the will, and now, he has officially had the canonization of the Ming Burmese Xuanwei Division, and the official uniform, gold and red cards should be available.

This is a good thing, but it also limits his future: the Great Tomorrow reiterates his request to him, and after this contract is demarcated, no one is allowed to encroach on other people's lands. As the co-master, as long as anyone breaks the rules, Daming will stand up again to uphold justice.

Therefore, the more ambitious Mangrui body felt terrible about the Ming army and the Ming that he saw now - they were establishing their faith, so that the rest of the divisions would be both jealous and dependent when something happened in the future.

If it's just this rule, what else is there to discuss?

……

Laos are not part of this dispute, they are the furthest away.

When the news reached Nanzhang, the Lao Xuanwei made the sword too shocked.

"So quickly, you have captured the city of Ava and captured the sons of Sizhen, Hanlie and Silun?"

"What to do? To go or not to go? ”

Faced with his younger brother's problem, Dao Lanzhang was still in a trance.

“…… It's natural to go, you go. "Let's hear what to say first." ”

"Big brother, I want you to go in person, and I also said that it is closely related to the interest of Laos." His brother was a little reluctant, "Even if you don't go, it's better to let Sigan go than let me go, right?" ”

"He ......" is naturally worried about his son's safety.

Da Ming defeated the three divisions who broke through Ava City so simply, and the sword was terrified.

He enclosed himself in these mountains, and finally sent his son Dao Xigen.

Even if something happens to his son, at least not himself, there is more than one son anyway.

Separated by mountains and rivers, he can't figure out what kind of attitude Daming is.

Under the barrier of these mountains and rivers, the situation in Outer Yunnan seems to have undergone tremendous changes in an instant, and Wang Zhi has been feeling in the mountains west of Thanh Hoa for a long time.

After Tan Yuancai "accidentally got lost", it took Wang Zhi a long time to unexpectedly find them again who were tired and ragged.

"I'm glad I met them, otherwise my life would have been lost here. Wang Zhenren, have you found the spirit tree? ”

"It seems that there is endless war here, the aura of heaven and earth has changed, and the spirit tree will not grow here." Wang Zhi put the score, "There are a few other spiritual things, presumably the master can be useful." Refining the elixir to dedicate to His Majesty is also a great achievement. ”

“…… Still can't find it? What kind of spirit is it? ”

Wang Zhi said a few things that have been taken out of the guide's mouth during this period of time, probably only produced in this area, and they are handed over.

In short, it is called a trade route, as long as the news is brought and there is an excuse to buy it in the future, then the task is completed.

Now, he was in a hurry to go back with Tan Yuan, and then try to borrow two or three warships from them to do the next step.

After the group traveled back to Thanh Hoa City, they heard the news that came from them.

Daming has the heart to publicize, how can it not be spread to Jiaozhi?

Wang Shi respected orthodoxy and helped the Burmese to restore the country, and defeated the coalition army of the three divisions that usurped the Ava Dynasty in ten months, and captured the blood relatives of the three thieves and the three clans.

They left Qinghua City under the vigilant and jealous gaze of Qinghua Wenwu, and Wang Zhi on the boat was a little puzzled: "Isn't this beating Mo Dengyong?" If our deeds are reported, then we can secretly trade with the Ailao side later? ”

"You and I don't have to worry about that. Jiaozhi is different from the Waidian Division, there is a canonization of Xuanwei envoy and Xuanfu envoy, but this Jiaozhi canonization is the king, and it cannot be generalized. Tan Yuancai smiled, "Now it depends on which side of Mo Dengyong and Ruan Gan has given more to His Majesty, Da Ming naturally waits and sees who the hearts of the people belong to." ”

“…… Your Majesty is really ...... Shengming. ”

Wang Zhi wanted to say that the emperor was playing insidiously.

Mo Dengyong killed the Li Dynasty clan completely, this is a blood feud. Since he can no longer seal the official and make a wish to collect the hearts of the people, he has to consume grain and grass as soon as possible to exterminate the rebels under the watchful eye of the Ming Dynasty, in order to "return to the destiny of heaven".

But Da Ming is trying to find a way to support Ruan Gan.

The above are fighting for power, and it is naturally the people who suffer. Maybe if they are fighting, they will ask the Celestial Empire to calm down the conflict and restore peace to the party.

Do you pay attention to a famous and righteous teacher?

Back on Ji Po Island, Peng Yue said to Wang Zhi dryly: "Don't think about borrowing a warship for you, but Your Majesty has a will, you wait here, and I will send you back." ”

"Huh? Your Majesty has a will...... Give me? ”

Wang Zhi was stunned.

Peng Yue also looked at him with mixed feelings, and then smiled very kindly: "Your Majesty personally ordered the name of the shopkeeper Wang." ”

“…… Father-in-law Peng, do you know what it is? ”

Peng Yue shook his head again and again: "Shopkeeper Wang is waiting here, and someone will come to look for you." Congratulations to the shopkeeper Wang, Jane is in the emperor's heart. ”

Wang Zhi thought about it, I am afraid that it was not because he sold his life for the sea trade company this time, but probably because he wanted to use the warship to pretend that the pirates attacked Thanh Hoa.

Could it be that His Majesty's heart is so dirty, Ying ...... Great minds think alike?

The sea breeze was blowing in April, and some of the Outer Yunnan Divisions were sent by Xuanwei to the envoys, and some were sent to the princes, and the city of Ava was finally about to begin to negotiate and conclude a contract.

The location of the discussion was the original royal palace of the Ava Dynasty, which is now naturally the royal palace of the Taungoo Dynasty.

The first item is that Gao Shangxian, who came to Ava City from Kunming, read out the canonization decree of Meng Yang and Mubang's two Xuanwei envoys.

There is no Meng Mi.

"Do you understand?" Wu Wending said with a smile, "Burning Cao Qianhu and killing the generals of the Ming Dynasty, although Si Lun and Han Lie were involved in it, it was Si Zhen and his generals who did it. Meng Mi was so bold that in addition to pacifying the Si, he placed Meng Mi's mansion, and then selected good and obedient ministers to seal the Tusi to govern his people. ”

Mang Rui understood and was silent.

And the new Mubang Xuanwei envoy immediately praised the good: "Meng Mi has betrayed Mubang in the past years, and he has always been disloyal!" ”

Wu Wending nodded: "The Mengmi Mansion was not set up to occupy the land of Tusi. It's just that the people of Waidian are also subjects of the Ming Dynasty, and the divisions have been fighting endlessly for many years, so why are the people innocent? In the past, the Luchuan Rebellion was quelled, and the Old Covenant was not observed by Silun. After setting up the Mengmi Mansion, the Ming Dynasty will place a Weiyuan camp here. ”

His eyes became cold: "Determine the new covenant, and if there are any people who do not defend the land and the people, and do not obey the dispatch of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely be requisitioned!" ”

After a few voices in the hall, it was extremely quiet.

Wu Wending laughed at this time: "After setting up Mengmi Mansion, we will also open a border city in Mengmi Mansion, and there will be no traffic." How do you all the clansmen govern, the Ming still doesn't ask, only set up a propaganda envoy to take care of the city's trade affairs. ”

"Open the border city?" Mang Ruiti only felt bad in his heart, "I want to hear about it." ”

"It will be good for you, too. Ming ironware, farming tools, cloth, tea and salt, and other good things, and you have a lot of grain, precious stones, and wood......"

Wu Wending began to introduce the border market rules of the Ming Dynasty, and the purchase price given was indeed fair. At the same time, what Daming is willing to sell does have what they need.

"In the future, there will be no tribute, it will be all trade." Wu Wending paused and said, "I still want tribute, otherwise why should I be a minister?" It's just that His Majesty is graceful, and the arrears in previous years and the tribute in the future have been cut in half. If you don't know this rule, will you obey it? ”

People don't want to comply, otherwise why didn't they pay in arrears before?

But the city of Ava was still under the control of the Ming, and their cannons were thick and long.

"If you don't want to comply, you can do it." Wu Wending added, "Then it will not be protected by the Ming Dynasty, if there is an invasion of the Ming Dynasty's territory, the Weiyuan Battalion can ask for help from it to ask for it." The tribute has been cut in half, which is already a great grace. If the Ming Dynasty does not regard you as ministers, why did Wang Shi not commit any crimes? ”

It was Meng Yang and Mu Bang who were the two new Xuanwei who were terrified and expressed their willingness to comply—just now, they all caught a glimpse of the expectant gaze of the reckless body.

Wu Wending looked at them and said quietly: "Meng Yang and Mu Bang Second Division should be punished for usurping Burma this time; The two divisions of Cheli and Eight Hundred Dadian are meritorious in dispatching troops from the Ming Dynasty, and they should also be rewarded. Today, the border will be demarcated again. If there is a dispute in the future, it will be the same for those who provoke and make meritorious contributions! ”

Next, it is to complete the previous strategic purpose: the good land east of the Gangao Mountain and west of the Jinsha River, which originally belonged to Mengyang, was assigned to some Tusi sent troops from Inner Yunnan such as Manmo, while Mubang's territory north of the Ava River and some territory to the east and south were all allocated to Cheli and Eight Hundred Dadian.

Dao Xigen is hot, although it is useless for Laos to send troops, do you want a little enclave?

Mang Ruiti's heart became heavier and heavier - the eight hundred Dadian and the car were stronger, and even if he wanted to play any tricks to expand the territory of Myanmar in the future, he would be afraid of the Weiyuan Camp located in Mengmi Province in the north of Myanmar.

In less than a month, the Ming army captured the city of Ava from the northernmost part of Mengmi.

Mangruiti soon recovered, but he also became one of the guards by the Ming Dynasty.

The Divula and Dagula who belonged to the Bago Dynasty who sent people from the south were much more relieved, after all, they were worried about the fate and potential shown by Donghu in the process of attacking the north.

Instead of receiving anything, they have to pay something: the tribute they owe and the tribute they will pay in the future.

But if you don't give it, what if the Ming Dynasty helps the upper Burma to destroy the lower Burma?

"This battle is not only to help Burma restore orthodoxy, but also to punish Meng Yang, Mu Bang, and Meng Mi. The soldiers went out to fight, the divisions helped, the money and grain Daming gave half of it, and the three divisions of Mengyang, Mubang and Myanmar contributed the other half, can there be any objections? ”

These three are silent, how much should they come out? If you count it, it's not less than the other half of the cut off in previous years, right?

It was Mang Ruiti who said first: "The minister made a promise before, and he should bear one or two. ”

Although the other two families were also bitter in their hearts, if there was no such incident, the benefits of Meng Yang and Mu Bang would not have been their turn.

It's just that the original family background of Si Lun and Han Lie has become theirs, and they are a little painful.

Others are more bitter, and they can also share a little food in the car, 800 Dadian, etc., naturally laughing haha.

After eating and taking the card, Wu Wending smiled again: "Now that a new covenant is made, not only Mengmi, but Lin'an Mansion will also open a border market." In addition, His Majesty has graced him to invite famous teachers to set up primary schools, middle schools, and universities in Kunming, so that his children can go to school. How to govern the environment and secure the people, as a Celestial Empire, the Ming Dynasty still has a lot of knowledge worth learning, which is also to help you ......"

The conclusion of the new covenant presided over by the Ming Dynasty was destined to be not a good thing for the Waidian Divisions.

They just want to be the same as before, nominally obey the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about them.

But now, because of the fall of the Ava Dynasty, the balance of Outer Yunnan has been broken. Under the First World War, the new lords of Mengyang and Mubang subdued the hearts of the people and beware of Burma. Bago breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the reckless body that rushed to them and walked away was really a person with infinite potential in the future.

As for Cheli, Eight Hundred Dadian, and Laos, although they have to pay tribute from now on, they have also picked up some bargains this time, especially in Lin'an Mansion in the east, which is also going to open a border market, and they can buy good things from the Ming Dynasty more conveniently. Southern Yunnan is rich in products, and the purchase price of Daming is quite fair.

After all kinds of things have been discussed, it is natural to draw up documents, stamp each with a big seal, and then drink and talk happily.

In the middle of the banquet, the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Envoy Phaya Setara said respectfully: "Honorable Governor Wu, for the past ten years or so, Ayutthaya in the south has been attacking our Lanna. I wonder if the Celestial Empire can appoint a Xuanjiao envoy as soon as possible to bring 300 elite soldiers to Chiang Mai City? In addition, the grandmother of the minister, the queen mother of my Lanna, asked the minister to play the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and the royal sister was basked with the heroism of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I wonder if there is this blessing to serve in the palace? ”

Wu Wending and the others were stunned.

What is the current situation of the Eight Hundred Dadian?

Mang Rui then lowered his head, and the back sockets were about to be crushed: there must be a danger of destruction, so he did this.

That's a place that can be captured in the future!

"The Queen Mother?" Wu Wending asked Mu Shaoxun.

Even Mu Shaoxun was a little embarrassed: "In the past, it was indeed a country of eight hundred daughters-in-law, but over the years, it has been renamed eight hundred Dadian." ”

Then he asked Naphi Ge Setara, "If the Duke of Japan remembers correctly, your line is called Lanna, right?" For many years, it has been called 800 Dadian, and the Lanna lineage in the past is still there? ”

Wu Wending was a little dizzy: Didn't you say the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

"Returning to the country, it has never been broken. It's just that Lanna is weak, but fortunately, thanks to the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, he was able to seek perfection. ”

“…… That being the case, why don't you also owe tribute and ask the Ming Dynasty for help? Wu Wending asked.

Pi Ye Ge Se Tara was hesitant, just shouting poor, saying that he could not bear the burden, and even pleaded for the arrears this time, bragging about how his sister was in the country, and looking forward to the curtain of Daming.

When it comes to this kind of thing, Wu Wending hesitated slightly, and the other ministers seemed to have a play, and immediately shouted bitterness, and they were also willing to sacrifice their daughters to Emperor Ming to pay for the arrears.

“…… Ridiculous! Wu Wending kept a straight face, "Ben Du ...... Prelude, Your Majesty. How can it be true that it is a proper duty to pay tribute? Your Majesty's willingness to show the righteousness of your relatives is only to reassure you in the future. If you owe something in the past, you can't deal with it all at once! ”

Just kidding, in this battle, His Majesty said that he wanted to make money!

It was only after the banquet was dispersed that he asked Mu Shaoxun: "What eight hundred daughters-in-law?" Why is the name so weird? ”

“…… I also heard the jokes handed down from my ancestors, saying that many years ago they were not civilized, and the clan has always been dominated by women. Whether this is still the case today, or because the canonization of Xuanwei envoys is only for men, then I don't know. The matter of Outer Yunnan, Da Ming did not ask for a long time. ”

“…… It must be different, right? "Wu Wending is a little unimaginable, could it be that a huge country has always been dominated by women?

They really don't know that the northern part of Thailand occupied by this Lanna has stayed in the matrilineal clan for a long time, so it is called the country of eight hundred daughters-in-law by the outside world.

But that was also a long time ago, and many matrilineal clans came together to have this title. And this Lanna Dynasty is a feudal dynasty established after the unification of the northern part of Thailand, and there are kings. Lanna means a million rice fields.

It can only be said that since then, the Central Plains Dynasty has not cared about their history or anything, and Waidian has never intended to govern well, as long as they are nominally obedient and do not cause trouble.

Now the request made by these 800 Dadian makes Wu Wending unable to make his own decisions, after all, he mentions the invasion of 800 Dadian by the Siamese Ayutthaya Dynasty in the south, which did not belong to the Ming Dynasty. Whether His Majesty's southwest plan will change anything because of this, Wu Wending is hard to say.

not only wants to offer Wang Mei, but also hopes that the Ming Dynasty's Xuanjiao envoy will bring three hundred elite soldiers to stand on the platform for him, as if he is already in danger.

On the second day, Wu Wending summoned Naphi Yag Sera alone and told him to tell the truth.

In the past, maybe I felt that Daming couldn't count on it, maybe the situation was not critical, so Eight Hundred Dadian never had this thought.

But now...... After some statements by Pi Yag Setara, Wu Wending finally understood why.

Bottom line: Since more than forty years ago, there has been a struggle for the throne within Lanna, and there has been a mutual attack with Ayutthaya outside.

Today, he is still able to sit in his position, thanks to the support of his grandmother, who is already dying and will die at some point. At home, there is also a powerful minister who is eyeing the throne, and there is more than one, and it is the three factions of powerful ministers standing side by side.

Daming's posture of being the master of orthodoxy moved him, and Daming's military might probably make the powerful minister dare not move.

Wu Wending sighed a little emotionally: I didn't expect that this battle would really show some of the actual status of the communist lord of Waiyun.

This Lanna has been messed up for decades, why didn't you ask Da Ming to help you before?

For no other reason, it was just a mess in the Ming Dynasty before.

"This governor will play your majesty first, and in addition, he will also send someone to go first, so that the truth can be known."

"Thank you so much!"

So the noble and virtuous man was numb: Why am I again?

“…… Dutai, then what should he do if he really takes a risk? ”

"What are the three powerful ministers? Since you are the Ming Xuanwei Division, you are just his retainers, and you are older than him! Besides, if you dare to do this, Master Wang hasn't left yet. Wu Wending rolled his eyes, "Besides...... How is his royal sister, you naturally have to see first. ”

“……”

Wu Wending was also uncertain.

Didn't Your Majesty want that three-part sacrifice of flowers?

Since there is a precedent, it is impossible to say.

"What do you think?" He's actually more worried about safety.

"Please General Qu take someone to accompany you, are you relieved now? The new covenant has been established, and all the priests will send them on a journey. Wu Wending saw through him at a glance, "I heard that guy spent silver and hired a new concubine." ”

“……”

Gao Shangxian sighed: This time, can I go back to Kunming in time to send my son to the capital to take the test next year?

Make up for the day before yesterday
