Chapter 1193: Ultimatum to the King of Burma (Second Watch)
The next day, Chongzhen woke up early as usual and breathed fresh air in the Chongsheng Temple, no different from usual.
Wang Chengen and these brocade guards and beauties came to greet the emperor one after another, and Chongzhen was still talking and laughing.
These people are mortal with the naked eye, of course, they don't know what happened last night, and they can't see the change of Chongzhen from a true immortal to a true god.
After eating vegetarian food, Chongzhen left Chongsheng Temple.
Abbot Guanghui, as well as Master Guang'an, as well as Yilong Zen Master, including the head of Baihuamen, Baihua Fairy, and other monks and disciples of Baihuamen, sent off the holy car at the gate of the mountain.
After leaving the sight of these people, the nine Chongzhen monarchs and ministers stepped on a layer of auspicious clouds and came to Kunming Mansion.
Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, took Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, Yang Weizhi, the deputy envoy of Yunnan, and other civil and military generals, like the stars holding the moon, took Chongzhen into the temporary palace of Kunming Mansion......
Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, with the generals Feng Shuangli and Wang Shangli, led an army of 30,000 to chase down the remnants of Wu Sangui and chased them all the way to Yuanjiang Mansion.
The Yuanjiang Mansion of the Ming Dynasty was later known as the Pu'er City of Yunnan Province, close to the Sino-Burmese border.
Wu Yinglin fled all the way to Yuanjiang Mansion with five hundred Guanning Iron Cavalry, which was the location of their father and son meeting set by Wu Sangui in advance.
But Wu Yinglin came here and pounced.
Not even the shadow of Wu Sangui was found, and there was not a single soldier of the Wu army here.
Now there is no one to give Wu Yinglin advice, and the strategist Fang Guangchen sent to him by Wu Sangui is also unknown.
Of the 5,000 men and horses that left the city, there are now only about 500 left, although they are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, but their logistical supply has become a big problem.
Wu Yinglin was anxious, although the winter here is not very cold, but people eat horses to feed, more than 500 horses also consume a certain amount of grain and grass every day, and people and war horses do not eat, of course.
In desperation, they had to loot villages and towns to survive temporarily.
At this moment, they realized that the pursuers behind them had arrived. Because of the disparity in numbers, Wu Yinglin did not dare to fight, so he had to flee again.
But at this moment, they encountered another pursuer.
There were 50,000 men in this Ming army, led by generals. As majestic as the golden armor god descended to earth, he sat down on a red-maned horse, holding a pair of iron whips in his hand, and at first glance he felt a little like Qin Qiong Jingde in the Sui and Tang dynasties.
This general is Huang Degong, a few days ago, he was ordered by the emperor, with his two chief soldiers, Weng Zhiqi and Zhang Jie, to go out of the West Gate to chase the remnants of Wu Sangui's defeated army.
They chased all the way for hundreds of miles, but they did not see the shadow of Wu Jun.
If it had been as usual, they would have stopped chasing it a long time ago. But it's so different, Chongzhen has a purpose, this time the thief must be eliminated, Wu Sangui must have escaped in advance, otherwise he would not have evaporated from the world.
Therefore, Huang Degong commanded the army to continue to pursue, and ordered Weng Zhiqi to lead 5,000 iron cavalry to open the road in front, Zhang Jie to lead 5,000 men and horses to supervise the transportation of grain and grass in the back, and the 50,000 army was mighty, with the determination to see people alive and corpses, to pursue the remnants of Wu Sangui.
Two days later, this Ming army appeared in Cheli Province near the Lancang River. The Cheli Military and Civil Mansion in the Ming Dynasty refers to the area of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in later generations.
This is already at the border, and further west into the territory of Burma.
Huang Degong, Weng Zhiqi and Zhang Jie discussed that they must have pursued the wrong direction, and then they marched eastward and launched a dragnet-style search.
happened to encounter Wu Yinglin near the Lancang River, and the two sides launched a life-and-death fight.
I have to say that the combat power of the Guanning Iron Cavalry is absolutely overwhelming.
In the midst of the heavy siege, hundreds of people still resisted stubbornly and swore not to surrender. Wu Yinglin took the lead in rushing left and right, killing corpses all over the ground, and finally killed them again from the heavy encirclement of the Ming army.
In this melee, Wu Yingqi left more than 200 corpses, and after breaking out of the encirclement, he ran into Myanmar with more than 200 horsemen.
Because of the national border issue, Huang Degong and Weng Zhiqi temporarily stopped catching up.
At this time, Li Dingguo and his men and horses also chased after him, and the two sides joined forces and set up camp in the woods on the Sino-Burmese border.
Li Dingguo, Huang Degong and Liu Wenxiu gathered together and began to discuss countermeasures. No matter where the remnants of Wu Sangui flee to, they must be caught, they must be seen alive and corpses when they die, otherwise they will not be able to see the emperor when they go back.
Because when they sent troops, Wang Chengen, the governor of Da Nei and the governor of the division, explained clearly, saying that under the emperor's order, even if the thieves escaped from the border, they had to give an ultimatum, and it was really impossible to cross the border to arrest people, and Wu Sangui must be killed.
It seems that the emperor is really like a god, and these thieves really fled into Burma. Then there is nothing to say, immediately issue an ultimatum, let the king of Burma help catch the thieves, if you dare to shield these rebels, do not hesitate to meet each other!
The Burmese king received an ultimatum from Li Dingguo and Huang Degong, and immediately ordered his Burmese soldiers to capture Wu Yingqi and other generals.
Wu Yinglin's more than 200 people fled into Burma and felt safe, thinking that the Ming army would not dare to cross the border to arrest them, so they also relaxed their vigilance.
Besides, they can't run anymore.
Therefore, it was easy to be a prisoner of the Burmese soldiers.
But at this time, the Kingdom of Myanmar was also in political turmoil, and the two Burmese brothers were fighting for the country. The brother of the king of Burma, Mang Bai, opposed his royal brother, and organized a *** armed force The two sides are at war, and after getting the news, Mang Bai sent *** troops to hid Wu Yingqi.
After the ultimatum period passed, not a single soldier of the anti-thieves was caught. This angered Li Dingguo and Huang Degong, "The sons of the three armies, cross the border to arrest people, if you encounter a man to stop and kill you, there will be no forgiveness!"
Li Dingguo and Huang Degong gave an order, and with 80,000 Ming troops, known as 100,000 to the outside world, they entered the territory of Burma......
