Jiayuguan is located in the middle of the narrow valley in the west of Shaanxi Province, the city walls on both sides of the city pass cross the desert Gobi, connect the Great Wall of Montenegro in the north, connect the first pier in the world in the south, and is the westernmost pass of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. (Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty included Gansu Province)

Jiayuguan is located in the throat of Hexi, the terrain is dangerous, the building is majestic, the momentum is magnificent, the attached piers, forts are dotted around, it is the western defense center of the Ming Dynasty, ensuring the security of the Hexi region, to put it bluntly, it is to prevent the Mongols from going south.

At this time, the Hexi General's Mansion in the city was heavily guarded, with three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, and there were all the soldiers of the Yulin Army on duty and patrolling.

Since Zhu Cihong's imperial car arrived at Jiayuguan, the general's mansion was requisitioned as the emperor's temporary palace, and no one was allowed to enter without special permission!

Zhu Cihong sternly refused the red tape of the Hexi generals, and immediately convened all the accompanying generals and officials to discuss the matter after arriving at Jiayuguan.

On the second day of his stay at Jiayuguan, Prince Zhu and His Majesty sent Burmese war reports to this place urgently.

Zhu Cihong raised the battle report in his hand and said to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, I just received the Burma war report today, and the front-line soldiers did not fail in their mission, leveled Burma in one fell swoop, and captured the Burmese monarchs and ministers!" ”

The ministers present immediately showed excited expressions, and Xu Mingwu was even more excited in his heart, his joy could not be suppressed, and he stretched out his head to read the battle report.

Zhu Cihong saw his expression and beckoned to him: "Take it and read it!" ”

"Command!" Xu Mingwu was overjoyed, took the battle report and recited it emotionally in public, as if it were a storyteller.

In the battle report, Xu Qingshan reported to Zhu Cihong about their captures in this battle, as well as the number of prisoners, for the Ming Dynasty, this is a huge wealth, not only to make up for the loss in the war, but also to use the prisoners as labor.

These are the direct benefits of the war, and there are more indirect grants that cannot be measured in terms of property, for example, there is only one obedient Siamese in the entire Indochina Peninsula, and no one can threaten the borders of the Ming Dynasty in the future!

After hearing the content of the battle report, Zhao Shixiang immediately stood up and slapped Zhu Cihong on the back: "Your Majesty, after the separate attack of my two armies, the Kingdom of Myanmar that does not know the power of heaven will be destroyed, this is Your Majesty's wise decision, and the soldiers are united as a result, and the ministers congratulate Your Majesty, congratulations to my Ming Dynasty for such an achievement!"

Then, the other ministers also expressed their joy like Zhao Shixiang.

Han King Zhu Heqi shouted: "My Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, and in the world, who can be the enemy!" ”

His words aroused the excitement of a group of young generals, and Xu Mingwu was also deeply proud, glad that he had come to such a powerful empire and witnessed the prosperity of China!

Zhu Cihong motioned to the ministers to be quiet, and said with another military report in his hand: "This is the Pingyang Marquis Xu Qingshan transferred to the Myanmar Meng and other tribes of the Tusi table, which said: 'The Donghu Dynasty is reckless and white, tyrannical and unreasonable, can not be masters with slaves, self-defeated, tribes scattered, do not know what to do, slaves and others have their own land, determined to return to the Son of Heaven, willing to give mercy, begging Han officials...... Hahaha! ”

After speaking, Zhu Cihong laughed three times and was in a happy mood.

The historical Donghu Dynasty was wiped out by the Mon people, and now the most potential tribe in Myanmar in the future is willing to return to the Ming Dynasty, how can he not be happy?

Zhu Cihong did not wait for the ministers to speak, and continued: "Since the Meng tribes plead so much, if I refuse them, it will really be too much to say, therefore, I have decided to agree to their attached request, and report this matter to the temple and the world!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the official of the Hanlin Academy who accompanied the driver said: "Your Majesty, the Donghu Dynasty has fallen, and the tribes of Burma have requested to return to the Ming Dynasty, and the minister suggests that they follow the example of Japan and Annam, and set up provinces and counties in Burma, so that they will always be the land of our Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Cihong did not respond immediately, but asked the other officials what they meant.

The emperor was so happy, how could the ministers not understand what he meant, so they expressed their support for the establishment of Burma Province.

The joy on Zhu Cihong's face was undisguised, and the battle for Burma was not just to teach Burma a lesson and seize its land.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty occupied Burma, which opened up a land passage to the Indian Ocean, and no longer had to make a detour through the Strait of Malacca to enter the Indian Ocean, but directly faced the Mughal Empire!

In addition to the two battle reports, Xu Qingshan submitted a separate report on the situation of the Mughal Empire.

At the time of the conflict between Ming and Burma, the Mughal Empire was also not idle, embarking on a journey of external expansion, and their first target was the kingdom of Ahom, their western neighbor.

In the nineteenth year of Tianwu, the deputy king of Bengal of the Mughal Dynasty in India, commanded the three-way army to expedition to Gargon, the capital of the Ahong Kingdom.

The Ahong Kingdom is located between the Mughal Empire and Burma, and Ah San's military campaign is obviously to enter the Indochina Peninsula westward and compete with the Ming Dynasty!

Similar to the situation encountered by the Ming army, when the Mughal army was on the offensive, it coincided with the arrival of the rainy season, and the supply was difficult, so it had to retreat, and the Ahong kingdom was able to breathe, reorganize the offensive and recapture the capital Gargon, and finally the two countries signed a treaty, and the Mughal army withdrew.

Xu Qingshan asked for instructions in the transcript, saying that the Ahong Kingdom was a kingdom established by the Dai people in Yunnan, and the next step was to support them since ancient times, as a buffer between the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire.

Xu Qingshan was not nosy to find a sense of existence, but after the Ahong Kingdom learned that the Ming Dynasty had conquered Burma, it found itself sandwiched between the two empires and was frightened all day long, so it sent an envoy to Donghu City to meet Xu Qingshan, wanting to test the attitude of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there is nothing to be tempted, and the Ming Dynasty has been consistent, clear and tough on territorial issues.

Since it is a kingdom built by the old Dai people, that is, its own people, there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to turn it away, it must be helped!

Han King Zhu Heqi wanted to find a sense of existence, so he asked: "Father, what should I do with the Burmese King Mangbai?" ”

Zhu Cihong said: "The old rules, send to the Xingguo mine, first ten years of labor reform. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhu Cihong ordered the Burmese prisoners of war to be exiled to Hami.

It seems that Emperor Zhu deliberately vented his anger to avenge the curse of the water, and deliberately let the Burmese people in these tropical rainforest areas taste the taste of the ice and snow more than ten degrees below zero.

I just don't know if these Burmese people were eye-opening when they saw the snowy scene for the first time, or they missed the warmth of their hometown......

Then, Zhu Cihong drew up an edict on the reward of meritorious deeds, and enshrined Xu Qingshan, who had made meritorious contributions to the opening of Xinjiang and outstanding military achievements, as the founding duke, and gave the country a mansion and a bloody horse......

In February of the twentieth year of Tianwu, the crown prince Zhu He, who was in charge of the country in Nanjing, issued an edict to the world, in addition to the name of Myanmar, set up Myanmar Province, the founding prince Xu Qingshan temporarily took the post of the governor of the Southern Army, stationed in Burma, and promoted the deputy general Ma Xianglin to the deputy governor, and Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, was transferred to Annan......

The governor of the southern army expanded the army to 100,000 and recruited the Tusi tribes of all Burma tribes to settle in Nanfu.
