Chapter 281: Eat Nanzhang and Look at Siam

The surrender of Ava City was not an isolated incident, in fact, it immediately led to a chain of variables.

Bagan City, the closest city to Ava City, was the first to learn the news, and then the Bagan City Guard, Bosheng Hou Manggu, immediately changed his flag and announced that he had responded to Donghu Hou Mangmeng.

Not only that, Mang Gu also took the initiative to "Qingjun side", and even said that he had sent soldiers and horses - he really sent 10,000 troops, but that soldiers and horses were sent to Donghu City at the request of Mang Yingli, and later because Mang Yingli was too lazy to wait, he went south first, and as a result, the soldiers and horses had not yet arrived at Donghu City.

In fact, the recklessness itself is a slippery one, and he told his eldest son who led the troops as early as the earliest, telling him to walk slowly, and not to rush to Donghu City. The purpose of what he said at the time was originally to preserve his strength, because he guessed that with his reckless temperament, most of the reinforcements would be dispatched before they could wait, so he could reduce his losses.

But he didn't expect Mang Yingli to go south to quell the rebellion so unsmoothly, Bago City was not recovered, Donghu City was actually besieged, and then Donghu Hou Mang Meng surrendered to Daming with the most powerful Ava City at the moment!

After this circle, the situation in Myanmar suddenly became out of control.

Reckless and not stupid, without saying a word, he immediately saw the wind and made the rudder change his position, and announced his surrender while announcing "Qingjun's side". Of course, this "Qingjun side" is nonsense, and he doesn't really want to fight Donghu City, he has already sent fast horses to recall his eldest son and the 10,000 army before the announcement. It is estimated that the 10,000 troops will have to rush back in a few days, and the statement will definitely become "Donghu City has its own Great Tomorrow Dynasty to deal with, and there is no need for us and other foreign ministers to intervene."

As soon as Bagan City fell, the situation in northern Myanmar completely collapsed, and Lin Khan City, which was not far from it, immediately said that "the Celestial Empire hangs the people and kills the crime, and the criminal ministers are forced to rebel for a long time, and now the king is coming, and he is at his disposal" Yunyun, and sent two groups of people overnight, all the way to Liu Wei in the northeast direction to express his submission, and all the way to Huang Zhiting in the southeast direction to express his surrender - this is not a second marriage, the main thing is that the Lin Khan City guard general can't figure out who has the final say in the two main generals of the Qingming army, so he has to act in the attitude of worshiping God and worshiping the whole.

Then it collapsed, and the cities of Xuanlicha Tala and Bei Yu also announced one after the other, "This city is not defended, and it is left to be disposed of." Of course, it is not of much significance that these two cities are actually fortified or not, because they are relatively close to Donghu, and the original garrison was less, and the main force was transferred away by Mang Yingli, and now the two cities together are less than 10,000 soldiers, and defending the city is tantamount to looking for death.

At this time, the news of Mang Yingli's defeat in the southern suburbs of Donghu City had already reached these two cities, and they had no choice.

Think about it, the 60,000 troops were all wiped out by the 20,000 people of the Ming Expeditionary Force in a battle, and the dignified Golden Mansion White Elephant King was almost spared. One of these two cities has 4,000 soldiers left, and the other has 5,000 soldiers left, and they are all second-line troops, can they withstand the flanking attack of the main forces of the Ming army in the north and south?

I've never dreamed of it this beautiful! Didn't you hear that the army is "destroying the city with ten thousand cannons"?

Several big cities in Burma have basically all been surrendered, but unexpectedly, Huang Zhiting, who surrounded Donghu City, did not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city, although more than 100 cannons were placed outside Donghu City, but they did not fire at all, and they surrounded in silence every day, not knowing what they were waiting for.

After another three days, Huang Zhiting and Liu Wei reached something similar to an agreement in the exchange of messengers, the two sides divided the temporary occupation area with Lin Khan City as the axis, and Liu Ling and Deng Zilong's troops did not have to go south, and Huang Zhiting's troops did not have to go north.

In fact, the reason is very simple: there are not enough soldiers and horses on both sides.

Liu Wei and Deng Zilong's troops, including the reinforcements that have recently descended south from Yunnan, add up to more than 30,000 and less than 40,000, while Guangmang Meng in northern Burma has nearly 40,000 surrendered troops. Coupled with Bagan City and the external preachers who had seen the wind and turned to the Ming Dynasty before, Liu Wei and Deng Zilong had to rely on the 30,000 or 40,000 people under their hands to deter nearly 100,000 troops, and of course they did not dare to act rashly.

Huang Zhiting's situation is not much better, before the Bago-Donghu battle, more than 50,000 Burmese soldiers were captured before and after, and her elite was less than 20,000 (some losses in battle), plus the Bago garrison, it was only barely the same as the number of surrendered troops. Then the surrender of the three cities of Lin Khan, Xuanli Cha Talla, and Bei Mu also exceeded 10,000, not to mention, the key is that each city has to send troops to "recover", and naturally there is no spare strength to go north.

In fact, Huang Zhiting didn't even dare to easily divide the troops to defend the place, so she and her subordinates simply ordered them to send troops from the three cities to support her in the battle.

Of course, this is nonsense, she is not highly pragmatic, and she can spend a lot of money to buy and surrender the army at every turn. Her current situation is similar to the hegemony of the Taungoo Dynasty, relying entirely on military force, how dare she send the Burmese army to fight Taungoo City? Aren't you afraid that the meat bun will beat the dog?

His intention was nothing more than to take time out of the three places of soldiers and horses, and he himself sent a small number of Bagu garrisons from the Mon people to occupy these cities, and each of the three cities sent 2,000 soldiers, a total of 6,000 soldiers and horses.

This is also a typical method of learning and applying from the methods of high pragmatism and peace in the south, a typical method of strong cadres and weak branches - as long as my main force is always assembled, none of you dare to act rashly, so as not to be hit by my thunder.

This is like a group of people surrounding Li Xunhuan, knowing that he only has a flying knife left in his hand, but no one dares to use it - whoever goes up will die, that is naturally a dead Taoist friend who does not die and a poor Taoist.

In fact, all parties in Myanmar can roughly guess the intentions of Huang Zhiting and Liu Wei, but this kind of conspiracy is useless just by knowing, and if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, this is the last word.

But what they didn't know was that at this time, the other way of the expeditionary force had conquered Vientiane, the capital of the southern state, and the puppet Nanzhang king Ubalu who had been raised by the Donghu Dynasty in Burma had gone out of the city with torture instruments to ask for surrender, and the two sisters and brothers of the Dao family handed over Ubalu to Ruan Huang, the chief general of the Ming army's Annam expeditionary force, according to the agreement.

Of course, Ruan Huang himself doesn't want Ubalu, this is a person who wants to be named by Gao Pragmatism, not only Ubalu himself, but also his wife and children.

Gao pragmatic did this, of course, not out of any humanitarian spirit, he wanted to master a person who could threaten the status of the Dao sisters and brothers, in case the Dao brothers and sisters were disobedient in the future, he would have someone in his hands to replace him - the children of the old southern king Setatila could succeed to the throne, and of course his younger brother Ubalu could also do it, and of course the children of Ubalu could do the same.

Therefore, this family will be transferred to Thang Long City, anyway, the real owner of Thang Long City is Gao Shipra, and there is a garrison, and when the Ubaru family arrives in Thang Long City, it will be much safer for the south to take charge of the country.

Ruan Huang came with 15,000 elites, including 5,000 from his headquarters, 2,000 each from Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti, plus 6,000 dragon garrisons. But the credit for taking Vientiane is basically all due to the Thang Long garrison - the garrison has many cannons, which directly blasted open the wall of this new capital of Nanzhang (Vientiane has only been the capital of Nanzhang for 23 years).

For this record, of course, Ruan Huang is unwilling, he has long been subject to high pragmatic means, and he doesn't dare to think about rebellion, but since he doesn't dare to rebel, he has to behave well, otherwise why should he maintain his status?

So, Ruan Huang showed his sleek political methods, and after a flicker, the prince of the sword family who had no military power, Nuo Jiao Gumeng, succeeded to the throne as the king of Nanzhang, although Princess Biajue controlled more than 10,000 people in the "righteous army" of Nanzhang country, but she only got the weird title of "princess of the council".

Not only that, Nguyen Huang also warmly recommended Her Royal Highness Princess Parliamentary Governor to actively study the Thang Long Garrison, saying that it was to make the south of the country strong and strong.

Biajue, the eldest princess of the council, actually does not have too strong governing ability, she pulled out the rebel army mainly to avenge her father, and now the revenge has been avenged, and she doesn't want to take care of things at all, she agrees with this opinion, after all, the majesty of the Thang Long garrison to blast open the Vientiane city wall in a few rounds of shelling really makes her remember.

As a result, a large number of officers from the Thang Long Garrison began to enter this volunteer army, and although these more than 10,000 volunteers were named the new "Imperial Forest Army" of Nanzhang State, they had actually completed the private "transfer of assets" and became a subsidiary force of the garrison.

Not only this lineage, but also the other armies of the Southern Command State that were incorporated were actually in the hands of the Thang Long Garrison under the operation of Ruan Huang. Ruan Huang was very satisfied with this.

Ruan Huang has always been a smart person, although he has made great efforts in it, but he will definitely not stretch out his hand towards the Nanzhang army. He knew very well in his heart that Gao Shishi's position in Annan had been completely consolidated, don't look at the fact that he still had some troops on hand, in fact, as long as he dared to make any changes, the two garrisons would be able to clean him up at any time.

Therefore, he would rather rely on his son's relationship of studying under Gao Shishi's sect now, and slap the emperor of Annan well, rather than do anything stupid that may be taboo. He even had the idea of retreating as advance, that is, after this war, he asked Gao Pragmatic to resign, especially to hand over his independent military power.

In the past two or three years, he has also seen clearly that Gao Pragmatic is a very measured and respectful person, as long as he surrenders his military power, Gao Pragmatic will definitely not treat him badly. On the contrary, as long as this military power remains in his hands one day, Gao Pragmatic will not really regard him as his own person for a day.

Since you can't resist, you can only cater to it.

Ruan Huang believes that among the three major local warlords in Annam, if he is the first to hand over his military power, Gao Pragmatic will definitely reuse himself even if he considers buying horse bones from a thousand dollars.

As for whether Annan will have a chance to return to the country in the future after the military power is handed over...... Hehe, is there anything wrong with my Ruan Huang in Annan's restoration country? Even if the country is restored, it will be my turn to be the commander of the capital, the king, or the emperor?

Since you can't, of course you have to choose to mess with the most powerful and benevolent big brother.

Myanmar did not directly control Nanzhang at the beginning, relying on the indirect rule of the puppet king Ubaryu, and now that the "Great Tomorrow Soldiers" have easily recovered the national capital Vientiane, Nanzhang has suddenly been decided.

After integrating the troops and horses, Nguyen Huang left 5,000 men to guard Vientiane and control the southern palm, and he set off again with more than 20,000 people, heading straight for Phitsanulok in Siam.

Phitsanulok was the capital of the Ayutthaya dynasty in Siam, and it was also the place where the black prince Na Lixuan guarded (note: Phitsanulok was actually called "Pole" in the Ming Dynasty at this time, but this is too remote, considering the reading habits, so it is now named).

According to the prior agreement, the day the Annam Expeditionary Force entered Siam was when Na Li Xuan declared an uprising against the rule of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma.

From Vientiane to Phitsanulok, although it is "transnational", it is actually not too far, less than 600 miles. The agreement between the two sides did not require the expeditionary force to arrive in Phitsanulok, as long as it entered the Siamese border, so only three days later, Na Lixuan learned that the Annam expeditionary force had entered Siam.

The black prince was really a decisive man, and he didn't even say hello to his father, and directly announced in Phitsanulok that he would raise troops against the Burmese thugs.

True, he used not "tyranny", but "thug", meaning that he did not recognize that Burma ruled Siam at all.

Burma did not have a garrison in Nanzhang, but there were some garrisons in Siam, but this army was not in Phitsanulok, nor in the national capital, Ayutthaya, but in Chiang Mai, further north of Phitsanulok.

Chiang Mai was originally the Ming Dynasty's "Eight Hundred Dadian Propaganda Division" belonged, and it was the place of governance. However, this area was eroded by the Taungoo Dynasty very early, and now it is considered Burma proper, so the Taungoo Dynasty stationed 30,000 troops here to suppress Siam by "sitting north and facing south".

Coincidentally, the black prince Na Lixuan's assembled forces were almost 30,000, of which about 16,700 were his "starting troops", and the remaining 13,400 people were temporarily gathered after the army.

Although it was a temporary gathering, these troops were not the kind of people who were randomly arrested, but the domestic slaves and monks of some powerful people in Phitsanulok and the surrounding areas - not only Shaolin Temple had monks, but also in countries with strong Buddhist forces such as Siam and Nanzhang, and many of the big monasteries had a different number of monks.

Because the rule of the Donghu Dynasty was very arrogant, and it demanded all kinds of tribute very harshly, so these powerful and monasteries all supported Na Lixuan, but the real poor people did not care - the Donghu Dynasty did not rule directly, and the tributes they demanded were similar to the Jiapai, and they were "eating big households" in Siam, so the "big households" were the main force against the Donghu Dynasty.

Since the big family is a big family, of course he has the right to have soldiers in his hands, and he is obviously unwilling to be eaten by the benefits, so he almost spares no effort to support Na Lixuan, so that he can get more than 10,000 elites in Phitsanulok and the surrounding areas alone.

At this time, the news of the defeat of the Burmese army on the northern front and the attack on the southern front by the Annam expeditionary force had reached Phitsanulok, although Na Lixuan did not know that Burma had lost almost all of its capital in the Battle of Dongoo, but it was enough for him to be excited. So he sent envoys and guides to guide the Nguyen Huang Department of the Annam Expeditionary Force, and at the same time actively carried out reconnaissance work on Chiang Mai.

Na Lixuan knew that as long as the 30,000 Burmese troops in Chiang Mai were defeated, the Burmese army would definitely not have time to deal with him, at least in the short term, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the capitulation faction in Siam - of course, dealing with other people, and only persuading his father.

And after receiving the battle report from the Burmese side conveyed by Na Li Xuan, Nguyen Huang secretly said something bad in his heart.

Why is it that the situation in Myanmar has changed so much from what was previously discussed? The point is, if Burma doesn't have the strength to counterattack Siam, then how can I help Gao Cheng take control of Siam? If I hadn't completed the task of mastering Siam, which was not explicitly stated but must have been implicit, wouldn't I have to blame me for my incompetence?

How can this be!

PS: The new boss posted a chicken soup article to appease the author, without mentioning practical measures, just talking about dreams. Judging from the post bar, not only did no one buy it, but there began to be a riot, and even some authors have directly scolded and protested in the book.

Some people say: when a capitalist talks to you about your dreams, it means that you can be ready to generate electricity for love.

But one thing you can rest assured is that unless you are 404, I will definitely abide by the basic spirit of the contract. No matter what the grades or how much money I earn, this book will be successfully concluded according to my usual standards and attitude, and will not end temporarily or abruptly.

As for the future...... Who knows.
