Since Mu Ying was ordered to conquer Yunnan in the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the Mu family of the Duke of Qianguo has been guarding Yunnan for the Ming Dynasty.

More than 200 years of operation have made the Mu family almost the emperor of Yunnan.

But objectively speaking, if there is no Mu family's guard, Yunnan may not belong to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and the Tusi of all ethnic groups in Yunnan have already established themselves or taken refuge in Myanmar.

It was precisely because of the existence of the Mu family that the aggressive Burma was unable to further swallow the Ming territory in Yunnan.

But at this time, Mu Tianbo's life in Yunnan was not easy, except for Qujing, Kunming, and Chuxiong, which were basically under his control, the rest of the regions were occupied by various Tusi.

He is only the nominal head of the family in Yunnan.

At the beginning, Li Xianzhong was in the name of Emperor Hongguang, and Mu Tianbo was attached to the imperial court.

After all, Hongguang's replacement of Chongzhen is the old Zhu family's own business, and it will not affect him to continue to be the "King of Yunnan".

But Li Xianzhong's generation of Ming is completely different, this is a change of dynasty.

Li Xianzhong engaged in "changing the land and returning to the stream" in Sichuan, and he didn't even let go of the toast, so how could he allow himself, the "king of Yunnan", to exist?

Despite the pressure, Mu Tianbo temporarily surrendered to the Chinese court; But he knew very well that Li Xianzhong would attack him sooner or later.

This is also the reason why he dared to take Yang Sichang in.

Mu Tianbo not only took Yang Sichang in, but even sent someone to send some grain to Li Dingguo in Guizhou to form an alliance with Daxi.

He knows very well that Li Dingguo is now his shield, and Li Xianzhong has not dealt with Guizhou, so he will not attack Yunnan for the time being.

When he heard that Li Xianzhong was attacking Annan, Mu Tianbo was still secretly glad that Annan was not an easy master to deal with.

Even if Li Xianzhong can win, he will inevitably fall into it and cannot extricate himself.

This is also where he dares to use troops against Burma.

After defeating the Burma, he was not only able to control the Emerald and wield great wealth; He can also take this opportunity to re-establish his prestige in front of the Tusi of Yunnan.

As long as the time is ripe, he will support Zhu Cihong as the emperor and restore the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, the premise is that Yang Sichang has to win this battle!

Today, however, the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma has annexed the Ava Dynasty and has become a unified kingdom by attacking the Shan tribes on the Yunnan border.

Yang Sichang also understood the difficulty of this battle against Burma, so they aimed their first target at the Longchuan Xuanfu Division on the border of Yunnan.

In order to consolidate its rule in Yunnan, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to "three expeditions to Luchuan", and in the ninth year of orthodoxy (1444), the Xuanfu Division of Longchuan (Zheng Sipin) was established, and the regions of Longchuan, Ruili, Shafang and Goryeo were governed.

The Xuanfu Division of Longchuan is the Dai people in today's Yunnan, and the Shan people in Myanmar are actually of the same origin.

At that time, these Tusi or Xuanfu envoys located on the border between Yunnan and Myanmar were basically grass on the wall, and the wind blew on both sides.

Longchuan Xuanfu envoy Duo Anjing is no exception, he is openly obedient to Mu Tianbo's orders, and in fact has been hooking up with the Burmese.

This time, China set off a "jade fever", and Duo Anjing used its unique geographical location to almost monopolize the jade rough in Myanmar.

This is equivalent to cutting off Mu Tianbo's financial route with other Yunnan Tusi.

Wang Lane Tusi Sha Dingzhou and other manpower owners first took the Longchuan Xuanfu Division, so Yang Sichang also complied with the public opinion.

Sha Dingzhou, the son of Sha Yuan, the king of Tusi, Sha Yuan is brave and good at fighting, and has made great achievements in the middle and late stages of Wanli, so the imperial court has added officials to the knight, and the power of the Sha clan is getting bigger and bigger in southeast Yunnan.

After Sha Yuan's death, the eldest son Sha Dinghai inherited his father's position, but Sha Dinghai was cowardly and incompetent, and was soon expelled by Sha Dingzhou.

This time, Yang Sichang originally had the intention of taking the opportunity to weaken these toasts, but now that Sha Dingzhou and others took the initiative to ask for it, he naturally couldn't ask for it.

The main force of the coalition led by Yang Sichang was stationed at Tiebi Pass on the Yunnan-Burma border, while Sha Dingzhou led 30,000 Tusi coalition troops to kill the old nest of Duo'anjing.

Mu Tianze, who accompanied the expedition, said: "Duo Anjing has hoarded and sold a large number of jadeite before, and there are a lot of goods in Mengmao City at this moment, if Sha Dingzhou and others take Mengmao, wouldn't it be cheaper for them?" ”

Yang Sichang said with a smile: "Things are not so simple, Duo Anjing has always hooked up with the Burmese, this time our army goes south, and the Burmese will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"The reason why I asked his army to assemble in Kunming first, and then kill the Xuanfu Division in Longchuan all the way is to give Duo Anjing time to ask for help from the Burmese!"

The Nanwan River Delta at the confluence of the Nanwan River and the Ruili River in western Yunnan is known as the Mengmao Delta, and the nest of Longchuan Xuanfu makes Duo Anjing is located here.

Mengmao City is actually a large cottage built on the mountain, and its city wall is made of huge stones in the mountain, although the scale is not too large, but it is very dangerous.

Although Sha Dingzhou and others launched a continuous attack, they had little effect.

The Dai soldiers under Duo Anjing, relying on the favorable terrain, used the stone rolling wood to give Sha Dingzhou and others a lot of damage.

Sha Dingzhou, who had been attacked for a long time, had to ask Yang Sichang for help, and soon Yang Sichang sent artillery to support Sha Dingzhou.

Yang Sichang was beaten many times by the Liaodong Army, and naturally learned some tactics of the Liaodong Army.

Although there are several Hongyi cannons in Kunming, it is impossible for those bulky Hongyi cannons to pass through the alpine jungles of Yunnan.

So he also followed the example of the Liaodong Army, and used the 6-pounder Franc machine gun dragged by mules and horses as a field artillery.

Although the 6-pounder cannon can't do much damage to the tall city wall of Kunming, it is still enough to fight those Tusi stockades!

Under the cover of artillery, the stones were piled up, and the walls were quickly blown down.

Sha Dingzhou saw the opportunity to send people to kill them, although in the end, due to the desperate resistance of the Mengmao defenders, they were eventually driven out again.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

Seeing that Duo Anjing, who couldn't hold on, quickly set fire to the leaves in the city, and the billowing smoke was ignited!

This is also the code he agreed with the Burmese, and he will first hold on to Mengmao to consume the enemy's combat strength.

When the Tusi coalition army is exhausted, the Burmese army will attack from behind, so that they can defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop.

At this time, Sha Dingzhou and the others were already fantasizing about how to distribute the gold and silver in the city after breaking through Mengmao tomorrow, and they never thought that the Burmese would sneak attack them from behind.

So when the 20,000 Burmese troops crossed the Nam Wan River, they were almost unaware.

When the Burmese army slaughtered the coalition camp, they could only rush to meet the battle.

Duo Anjing in Mengmao City saw the sound of the enemy camp outside the city shaking the sky, and many tents were set on fire, and knew that it was the Burmese who came to support him.

He also took the opportunity to lead the army out of the city and fight with the Burmese to attack the men and horses of Sha Dingzhou.

Sha Dingzhou was originally in a hurry to meet the Burmese, and he was at an obvious disadvantage, and he was naturally unable to resist being stabbed in the back by Duo Anjing.

Hurriedly led the men and horses of his clan to leave the battlefield and retreated in the direction of the Iron Wall Pass in the north.

Duo Anjing was besieged by Sha Dingzhou for many days, how could he swallow this evil breath, so he united with the Burmese army to pursue him.

When we reached a valley, I heard only the sound of "bang, bang, bang".

Then the ambushes on both sides of the valley came out, and the sound of killing shook the sky!

Duo Anjing, who was still imposing just now, changed his face greatly, and saw enemy troops in all directions.

Obviously, at this time, he has become the turtle in Yang Sichang's urn.

Soon after, Duo Anjing died in battle, and Yang Sichang and Sha Dingzhou took advantage of the situation to counterattack and capture Mengmao City in one fell swoop.

The defeated Burmese general Aquim had to gather thousands of white soldiers and retreat to Tianma Pass, which was located at the border.

When they came to Tianma Pass, they found that the gate was already full of Huaxia troops, and with Mu Tianze's order, the sound of fire guns on the gate came and went.

In the end, thousands of men and horses led by Aquimu were gathered and annihilated under the Pegasus Pass.

Burma's Taungoo Dynasty is said to be a dynasty, but its real main force is less than 100,000 people, and the loss of 20,000 people at once is definitely a nerve-wracking.

And it is not a single force in the country, although the Burmese now occupy a dominant position, but the power of the Shan and Mon is still not to be underestimated.

Now that the main Burmese force has been damaged, it is clear that it has changed the balance of power in Myanmar.

Therefore, when facing the main force of the coalition led by Yang Sichang, the armies of the Shan and Meng naturally chose to surrender and preserve their strength.

Yang Sichang's progress was also extremely smooth, and he soon occupied a large area of northeastern Burma, and Meng Gong, Meng Yang, Manmo, Mu Bang, and Sila were all lost.

In just one month, he restored all the territories of the original Daming Mubang Propaganda Division and Mengyang Propaganda Division.

and approached Ava, an important town in central Burma.

King Tarong of Myanmar considered that Awa was the territory of the Shan people, and now the Shan people have defected to Yang Sichang's "leading party".

If he continued to hold on to Awa, he would probably be stabbed in the back by the Shan forces in Ava, and eventually decided to abandon Ava and retreat to Taungoo, the capital of southern Burma.

By this time, the Dutch and British East India Company had also set up a branch in Bago in southern Burma.

It is clear that it is not in their interest that Myanmar be annexed.

Soon they provided the king of Talong with a batch of arms to fend off the Chinese army.

At this time, Yang Sichang, who was in full swing, received a shocking news that Li Dingguo's Great Western Army took advantage of their southern expedition to Burma to invade Yunnan.

Now it has occupied Qujing and other places, and surrounded the city of Kunming.

Yang Sichang was faced with a dilemma.

If he chooses to return to Kunming, this attack on Burma will be wasted.

But if he doesn't return to the division, once Kunming is lost, their supplies will be completely cut off.

Once those toasts knew that their nest was served by Li Dingguo, it would be impossible to take care of the overall situation.

For now, he can only take advantage of the information gap to sign an alliance with the Burmese king as soon as possible in favor of his city, so that he can withdraw his troops safely.

It was at this time that the Dutch were willing to mediate between the two sides.

Eventually, Yang decided to withdraw from the Ava region that he had already occupied, but Burma had to recognize the Mubang and Mong Yang Divisions.

In this way, the northeastern part of Myanmar is equivalent to returning to China.

Before the two sides reached an agreement, Sha Dingzhou and others, who got the news, had already led their troops north in advance.

Fortunately, news from the Burmese is relatively closed.

In the end, the agreement was reached.

Kunming's Qianguo Gong Mu Tianbo is like sitting on pins and needles.

Although there are still 20,000 troops in Kunming City, the main force has been taken away by Yang Sichang.

Now he is far away in the south-central part of Myanmar, and he will not be able to return at all in two months.

If Li Dingguo is asked to capture Kunming, then the wealth he has accumulated in the Qianguo Mansion for more than 200 years can be handed over!

In desperation, he had to ask Zhang Zhiji in Sichuan, Mao Wenlong in Huguang, and Sun Chuanting in Guangxi for help, after all, he also belonged to the Chinese court.

Li Xianzhong has naturally been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Over the past year or so, Li Dingguo has done a good job in Guizhou.

Several local big toasts in Guizhou were almost bankrupt, and these people actually took the initiative to ask the Huaxia Army to enter Guizhou, and they were willing to "change the land and return to the stream".

However, in order not to startle the snake, Li Xianzhong did not send troops into Guizhou.

This time, Mu Tianbo took the initiative to ask the Huaxia Army to enter Yunnan, and he was naturally unkind.

On the eighth day of February in the second year of Qianxi, Zhang Zhiji, the governor of Sichuan, sent Ma Xianglin to lead an army of 30,000 from Banzhou into Guizhou.

At this time, the main force of Onishi had entered Yunnan, and there was not much resistance left, and Ma Xianglin conquered Guiyang four days later.

At the same time, Mao Wenlong, the governor of Huguang, also sent 20,000 men to recover Tongren and other places in eastern Guizhou.

At this point, Guizhou was also completely controlled by the Chinese court.

However, the Huaxia Army in Guizhou did not rush into Yunnan, but directly engaged in "changing the land and returning to the stream" in the local area.

As soon as the Great Western Army saw that the Huaxia Army had entered Guizhou, they fortunately withdrew from Kunming, but they were not idle, taking advantage of the toasts in southeast Yunnan to conquer Burma in the south, and swept the nests of these toasts, and gained a lot!

At this time, the Chinese emperor Li Xianzhong personally led 20,000 forbidden troops from Guangxi into Yunnan.

And "recover" the territory of those toasts from the hands of the Great Western Army.

Originally, the family of those toasts was robbed by the Great Western Army, which was heartwarming enough.

As a result, in the process of reconquest, the artillery of the Huaxia army almost completely destroyed their stockade.

No matter how dangerous your stockade is, the various rifled guns and mortars of the Huaxia Army are bombarded indiscriminately.

Not to mention that it was reduced to ashes, it was basically in ruins.

So these toasts gathered in Kunming City to cry to Mu Tianbo.

Where is the Chinese Emperor Li Xianzhong recovering the village for them, this is obviously demolishing the house.

Mu Tianbo was also very embarrassed at this time, Li Xianzhong was the emperor after all, he couldn't say that the emperor was not!

could only kick the ball to Li Xianzhong.

Li Xianzhong was naturally prepared, and the imperial court destroyed your stockade in the process of recovery, so it should still be expressed.

Li Xianzhong promised to build several county towns in the surrounding area for them to live in.

Only then did the toasts understand that Li Xianzhong was clearly forcibly "changing the land and returning to the stream".

If these toasts all live in the newly built county town of the imperial court, what kind of toast will they be?

But now these people's silver and food have been robbed by Li Dingguo's Great Western Army.

The main force of Tusi brought by Sha Dingzhou and others did not come back.

They have neither soldiers nor horses in their hands, nor money and food, so aren't they at the mercy of Li Xianzhong? But if you don't agree, you won't be able to do it, those tribesmen below who don't have food and don't live will also rebel.

In the end, except for a few relatives who went to seek refuge elsewhere, most people could only accept Li Xianzhong's arrangement.

Although the construction of the city was much faster with the help of cement, it still took a while.

For the time being, they will only live in tents and caves, but the court will provide them with food.

Li Xianzhong's army naturally couldn't bring so much silver, so it could only be Mu Tianbo.

Of course, Li Xianzhong, as the emperor of China, can't be repaid, he wrote an IOU to Mu Tianbo, which was borrowed from him by the imperial court.

As for when it will be returned, whether Mu Tianbo wants him to return it or not, it can only depend on Mu Tianbo's own intentions.

Mu Tianbo knew very well that he would be regarded as being woolen, and he didn't dare to take this IOU to force Li Xianzhong to pay a debt.

However, Mu Tianbo never thought that he didn't ask Li Xianzhong to collect debts, but Li Xianzhong wanted to settle accounts with him?

At night, a bunch of Praetorian Guards directly broke into the Qianguo Mansion and brought Mu Tianbo from the bed to Li Xianzhong.

Li Xianzhong asked, "Gong Qianguo, are you guilty?" ”

Mu Tianbo said: "Weichen guards Yunnan for His Majesty, I don't know what crime he has committed? ”

Li Xianzhong said softly: "You took in Yang Sichang, a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and Zhu Cihong, the abolished prince of the puppet emperor Chongzhen, who plotted to rebel, and dared to say that he was not guilty? ”
