On the third day of the fifth month, the Ming court issued an edict to take the right hand of the Imperial Inspectorate, the governor of Yunnan and Jianchang, Bijie and other places, to praise the military affairs and governor of Sichuan Guiliang Liu Shizeng as the "plenipotentiary envoy to deal with the aftermath of the Yunnan War" to Burma.

At the same time, it was clearly mentioned in the decree that in addition to being responsible for the aftermath of Burma, Liu Shizeng would also "temporarily send Huang Zhiting, Liu Wei, Deng Zilong and other military affairs in Burma, coordinate military salaries, food and salaries, and discuss meritorious rewards."

After all, the Ming court did not plan to set up the Burmese Political Division, or the Burmese Metropolitan Division, the Burmese Metropolitan Envoy Department and other institutions, so theoretically Burma is still a tributary state after the war.

In this case, Gao Shishi's previous Yunnan War Treasure Money Plan must be put on the agenda quickly, otherwise the "investors" of this money will not be satisfied.

Liu Shizeng actually talked about the division of interests on behalf of these investors, and there is no doubt about this, but the latter additional power is more interesting.

Liu Shi was the governor of Yunnan, and Liu Wei and Deng Zilong were originally under his control, so it stands to reason that there is no need to give a special explanation. And no matter how Huang Zhiting's department looks, it is not Liu Shizeng's turn to take charge, but this time it was deliberately added - even if the word is "temporary".

What does temporaryness mean? Temporary, temporary; Xiang, Xiangzan. Nominally, temporary Xiang is "temporary help", but this is impossible in the Ming Dynasty - you must know that most of the governors are also "Zanli military affairs", but in fact, they are not all local military leaders? Unless he has a more military-oriented governor in his head.

There is no governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty, and the leader of Yunnan's military affairs is the governor of Yunnan, and the position of the governor cannot be placed under the general, so his temporary position is actually a temporary trustee.

It stands to reason that this is an infringement - Huang Zhiting's identity is the deputy capital of Annan, and of course he is not as good as the governor of Yunnan in terms of rank, but Annan has its own particularity, which is equivalent to a special administrative region that appeared hundreds of years in advance, and the imperial court has a clear rule not to interfere in the internal military and political affairs of Annan.

So what to say this time? Did the imperial court change its mind and begin to interfere in the internal affairs of Annam?

No, on the contrary, this suggestion was put forward by Gao Pragmatism.

Gao pragmatic has two main meanings in doing this: first, it is to silence some people, so as to show that although Annan has its independent side, it has always been the internal identity of the Ming Dynasty. When necessary, the Ming can still have jurisdiction; Second, high pragmatism should return to the cost.

What does it mean to return to capital? The Annan Expeditionary Force's fight against Burma, military salaries, grain, grass and ammunition, etc., were all paid in advance by Annan - in fact, it was Gao Pragmatic to pay for himself, and now that the war is basically over, the expenses in the next period of time can't be paid by himself, right? Not to mention the reward.

So in the final analysis, this matter is that Gao Pragmatic temporarily gave away some kind of "name" in exchange for real money from the imperial court to fill the hole.

Is the court willing to pay this money? It's hard to say in other countries, but it's no problem to put it in Daming.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, most of the time, the name is a hundred times more important than the actual profit, so the imperial court needs this name, and Gao pragmatic needs to make up for the shortfall, so that both sides take what they need, the best of both worlds.

The more important point is Liu Shizeng himself, he is from the Chen Party, and now the Chen Party is in decline, and Chen Yuma has secretly taken refuge in the "Gao Party" line. For Gao Pragmatic, let half of his family go to the name of the trustee, and there is no need to worry about any trouble.

In addition, it is interesting to note that Annam originally had two expeditionary armies, but now only Huang Zhiting's one was nominally handed over to Liu Shizeng, and the Nguyen Huang Division, who was in charge of Nanzhang and Siam, was not mentioned in the Holy Decree.

In other words, the Ming court does not care about and is not responsible for what this army does.

After learning the news, Liu Shizeng immediately set off for the south, and when the news transmitted through Jinghua reached Ruan Huang's hands, he suddenly had an understanding.

I'm afraid it's not feasible to bring foreign forces from Myanmar to force Na Lixuan to move closer to Annan, and the next thing can only be done on his own.

Freedom is very free, but it's not easy to do.

Ruan Huang originally only brought 15,000 soldiers and horses into Nanzhang, although because of the weak combat effectiveness of the army of Nanzhang, there were almost no casualties to play a good start to capture the thief and capture the king, and then the whole country was decided, and finally he went out of Nanzhang to Siam There were 30,000 soldiers......

But relying on these 30,000 soldiers to take Siam is not planned at all. Not to mention the whole of Siam, Na Li Xuan alone has 30,000 troops on hand, with his temperament, since he can oppose Burma, of course, he can also oppose Annam, and even the Ming Dynasty.

Ruan Huang thought about it, but didn't come up with any good ideas, so he simply stopped the army for a day under the pretext that the mountain road was difficult to walk, and he was stuffy in the marching tent and thought hard about how to break the situation.

As a result, Nguyen Huang waited for a messenger from Na Li Xuan who asked him to rush to Phitsanulok as soon as possible and launch the battle of Chiang Mai with him.

At this time, Ruan Huang suddenly had an idea.

While quietly sending a messenger to Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam, he patted his chest and assured Na Lixuan's messenger that he would leave immediately, and also specially inquired about the deployment of Phitsanulok in detail, and finally patted his thigh, saying why do you have to go around Phitsanulok by yourself? Isn't it good to lead the army straight to Chiang Mai by yourself?

The messenger was actually not an ordinary messenger, but a close general under Na Li Xuan, who was a little surprised when he heard this, but still asked Ruan Huang what he meant.

Nguyen Huang put forward a plan: in order to prevent the Chiang Mai Burmese army from fleeing directly when he learned of his domestic embarrassment, he suggested that Na Li Xuan should not wait any longer, but directly send troops to Chiang Mai.

Ruan Huang opened the map and analyzed it to the general, saying that according to the distance, after Na Li Xuan arrived in Chiang Mai and launched an offensive, he would definitely be able to reach Chiang Mai within one day at the earliest, or three days at the latest. Although this to three days may seem insignificant, it is related to whether the Burmese army can escape smoothly, and if it does, it will always be a threat to Siam......

The general understood the meaning of Ruan Huang's words, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he felt that there was no problem: the main purpose of our army's northward march this time was to drag the 30,000 Burmese troops as soon as possible, and when Ruan Huang came, he could launch a general attack, which is very good! At present, the Burmese army is 30,000, and our army is also 30,000, can't our army even carry it for three days?

So the general rushed back to Phitsanulok overnight to report the news, and after Na Lixuan heard it, he also felt that this suggestion was very far-sighted politically, and there was no problem in military terms, so he agreed, and immediately sent troops to the north, and at the same time sent the general to run again to inform Nguyen Huang of the result.

At the same time, he also kept an eye on the general, and asked the general to see if Ruan Huang had really changed the route of the march and the speed at which he was hurrying.

As a result, there was no problem, Ruan Huang also sent troops to Chiang Mai overnight, and after meeting with the trusted general under Na Li Xuan again, he gave him a good reception, and then politely sent him to "return to the vice king to make meritorious service", and at the same time ordered to pull out the camp and continue to hurry.

The general happily went back to report the news, and Na Lixuan was completely relieved after hearing this, and confidently went to Chiang Mai to kill the general.

But what the black prince didn't know was that after Ruan Huang sent the general away, he didn't continue to drive towards Chiang Mai at all, but turned around and went directly towards Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya is the capital of Siam, and the Siamese king Maha Tammaroja, who was also held out as a puppet by the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma, is in Ayutthaya, and Tammaroja is of course Nalixuan's father.

The location of Ayutthaya is about 150 miles north of later Bangkok. After the decline of the Sukhothai era, King Utong moved here to establish a new capital, and it has been more than 200 years since then, which is the center of Siam in every sense of the word.

Ruan Huang's visit to the city is a risky move. What he meant was that if Tanmaraja knew each other, he would say everything well, and if he didn't, then it would be no wonder that he was hard.

However, he was inclined to know Tanmaroja in his heart, because Jinghua had already investigated the information of Tanmaroja and informed Yu Ruan Huang of the information.

In general, the characteristic of this person is that he is afraid of things.

After the rise of the Mangrui Body, the later known as the Thai-Burmese War broke out. In the 27th year of Jiajing, the Burmese king Mang Sweeti took advantage of the Siamese royal strife and the turbulent domestic situation to lead an army to invade. The following year, the city of Ayutthaya was besieged (as it is called "Dacheng" according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty in this book, and later generations of Chinese in Thailand also called this place Ayutthaya). ), because of the long attack and retreat.

In the 42nd year of Jiajing, the new Burmese king Mang Yinglong invaded again, captured Ayutthaya the following year, and exiled the king of Siam and most of the royal family members and residents to Burma, and set up another puppet king.

In the second year of Longqing, Siam's efforts to get rid of Burma's control led to another large-scale attack by Mang Yinglong. From November to August of that year, Ayutthaya resisted the siege of the Burmese army for ten months, but finally fell due to internal rebellion. Mang Yinglong then executed the former puppet king, and set up the pro-Burmese and timid Phitsanulok Taishou as the puppet king.

This puppet king is Tanmaraja.

Perhaps because the previous puppet king had died a tragic death, Tanmaroja had always been very afraid of conflict with Burma. After handing over his original position as Phitsanulok's Taishou to Na Li Xuan, the son of the crown prince (i.e., deputy prince), he also sent people from time to time to warn him not to act recklessly, especially not to plot against Burma, so as not to set himself on fire.

Ruan Huang judged that such a person, even Burma can make him an honest dog, so the Great Ming Dynasty, which has now defeated Myanmar, should be equivalent to a completely invincible god in his eyes. He went to Dacheng under the banner of Daming, and Tanmaroja definitely didn't dare to resist, so he could only let him Ruan someone rub it round and flatten it and fiddle with it at will.

And now a more critical situation is that after Narixuan raised his army, the king of Tanmaroja lost his voice, and neither expressed support nor opposition.

Ruan Huang felt that he should feel that he was in a dilemma - if he supported it, if he failed, the whole family would have to be buried together; If he is opposed, his son will not be able to get help, but will be dragged back by himself, only afraid that he will die faster, and it is difficult to say whether he will be forgiven by Myanmar at that time.

But this problem is not a problem in Ruan Huang's view, as long as he persecutes it and makes Tanmaroja publicly express his support for the Ming Dynasty to put things in order and hang the people for crimes, he can easily obtain the power of Siam - as long as he loses the name to Tanmaroja.

At that time, although Na Li Xuan was the "first to advocate the righteous act", it was useless, he was only the vice-king, the crown prince, the king of Siam or the tammaroja, and tammaroja had every reason to order all parts of Siam to obey his orders, so that even if those other places also "raised the banner of righteousness", this banner could only be gathered under the banner of tammaroja.

And Tanmaroja himself should have been controlled by him Ruan Huang at that time.

What is the so-called magpie's nest? This is the magpie's nest dove.

If he took Tammaroja, Na Li Xuan's strength would not be able to swell, and the power in Siam would be indirectly controlled by Annam, and he Ruan Huang would hand over the biggest letter of nomination to Gao Gao.

As for what to do next, it depends on Gao Gaocheng's meaning, anyway, Ruan Huang asked himself, with the power he currently has, he can only do this step at most.

You must know that now Nanzhang is also controlled by similar means, plus a Siam, in fact, he is controlling two countries with a mere 15,000 soldiers and horses, and if these two countries really want to rebel...... I don't dare to say that it is really not a strange thing to break out 200,000 rebels.

Therefore, you must act quickly in this matter, and secondly, you must also take over quickly from the high school side, otherwise, the real strength is simply too empty, and there are many dreams at night, and the ghost knows when something will happen.

Ruan Huang himself really doesn't have any "two hearts", after all, he only has 5,000 headquarters on hand, which is not as good as the Shenglong garrison he brought, and the weapons and equipment are not comparable, and this Shenglong garrison cannot be won over by him.

If you still have to consider what "two hearts" you have, it is completely tired of being alive, and it is better to make great contributions honestly and gamble on the courage of a high school man.

Nguyen Huang's march went smoothly. Because when Na Lixuan announced the uprising, in order to make the opposition dare not suppress him easily, he had already spread the word to all parts of the country in advance that he was supported by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had sent the army under the command of the Annan Metropolitan Department as a vanguard to support him.

In other words, everyone knows that now the Ming is the boss behind the Siamese uprising, and this army in Annam is the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty.

And how fierce is Daming? It had just won a great victory in the Battle of Taungoo in Burma, and with 20,000 weak troops, it broke the main force of the Burmese army of 60,000, and was almost completely annihilated! What's more, that Ming army is also an Annam army.

Therefore, no one dared to stop Ruan Huang's troops from flying south.

And Ruan Huang didn't care if he went all the way in, in case the Siamese suddenly broke out, it was difficult to say whether he could go away or not, just rushed towards the big city.

On May 11, Ruan Huang's headquarters arrived at the foot of the city, and Ruan Huang himself stood in front of the army and sent his guards to call the door.

"Wait for the truth: according to the holy decree of the Great Son of Heaven, I ordered the king of Siam, Tanmaraja, to go out of the city to meet him! After the three incense sticks are burned, if Tanmaraja has not left the city, it is regarded as disobeying the holy oracle and attaching rebellion and reckless thief...... In this way, our army will surely set foot on the great city and rebuild Siam! ”

The guard said this, turned and went back, and did not bargain with the people of the city at all.

After only a stick of incense, the north gate of the city was opened, and the Siamese king Tanmaraja held the land register, household registration and the three treasures of the king's seal, led the civil and military officials out of the city, and respectfully walked towards Nguyen Huang.

Ruan Huang's chin was slightly raised, but the whole person finally relaxed, and then he suddenly realized that his back was already sweaty.
