Chapter 1107: Why Did the King Descend First?

On the second day, Xu Qingshan led an overland army to the city of Donghu.

At this time, Mu Tianbo, who was walking by land and water, had already arrived first, and launched a siege posture of encircling Donghu City, which was only sixteen miles in circumference.

It happened that there was a heavy fog on that day, which created excellent conditions for the Ming army to attack the city.

Xu Qingshan was overjoyed and ordered the troops to launch an attack on Donghu City, and he was not even interested in the trick of persuading him to surrender.

The rattan regiment of the Ming army quickly assembled into a row of shield arrays, raised the shields and marched quickly to cover the engineering troops to fill the moat.

The light artillery battalion lined up the artillery bombardment, and the grenadiers of each battalion also set up grenadiers and fired artillery to attack the city and suppress the Burmese troops in the city.

In fact, there are no Burmese troops in the city of Taungoo, which are basically self-defense forces composed of subjects temporarily brought in by the Burmese king Mang Bai, as well as servants from the families of Burmese civil and military officials......

The only fighting force was the King's Guard, who guarded the palace and the Burmese king, and would not come to defend the city at all.

At this time, in the main hall of the palace of Donghu City, the Burmese king was sitting on the throne with empty eyes, and the Burmese ministers below had already quarreled into a pot of porridge.

Just now, Mang Bai decided to surrender Kaicheng and went to the Ming Dynasty to confess his guilt to Emperor Tianwu, and his decision caused heated discussions among the civil and military ministers.

Suddenly, a loud voice resounded through the hall: "The ministers are about to die in battle, why did the king descend first?" ”

Hearing this, Mangbai's heart trembled violently, and he slowly raised his head to look at the person who spoke.

The one who uttered those unyielding words was none other than the left prime minister Ah Langdu, whom he trusted.

Facing the scorching gaze of Prime Minister Zuo, Mangbai's face turned pale, and the coup d'Γ©tat to kill his brother and seize the throne was strongly supported by Alang.

Zuo Prime Minister Ah Lang is a typical nationalist, for the future of Myanmar, he can do anything, even if he is infamous for betraying the lord and killing the king!

Today, he's standing up again!

The reason why Myanmar can be strong, dominate the Indochina Peninsula, and confront the Ming Dynasty is that there are these people, such as the protector general Mangfu, the right prime minister Moktoro, and the left prime minister Alangdu, who do everything to make Myanmar strong!

However, their opponent Da Ming is too strong? In the face of absolute strength? Even Myanmar, which is the strongest period in history, has never been able to compete with the Ming Dynasty!

This short Ming-Burma war? Let Mang Bai deeply realize this truth? Provoking Ming Dad can only lead to a dead end!

Mangbai sighed? He lowered his head and said: "This king has already decided, you don't need to say much about Prime Minister Zuo....."

He is well aware? Donghu City can't hold it at all!

Just a few days ago? News came from the south that the Ming Royal Navy had defeated ten ships of the English East India Company and blocked the entire sea outlet.

Six warships went up the river to block the main road to the Mughal Empire? He can't run away if he wants to!

Finished? Mang Bai slowly stood up, escorted by the Imperial Guard, and headed to the north gate.

Seeing this, the Burmese ministers stared at each other, and finally under the example of how many people? Hurriedly followed behind the king of Burma.

History: On December 11, the 19th year of Tianwu, the Ming army besieged the city of Donghu, the capital of Burma. The Burmese king Mang Bai saw that he was isolated from inside and outside, and there were no reinforcements outside? Difficult to support in the city, desperate? So the head of the national seal? Open the door and surrender to the Ming army.

In front of the city gates? Xu Qingshan, the commander of the Ming army, rode his horse slowly and came to the Burmese king Mangbai.

Seeing this mighty general coming, his face was pale, and his heart was extremely frightened, but he was still calm and reserved.

Behind him, several Burmese ministers dressed in official robes and like grooms, stepped forward, bowed their hands, and said in fluent Chinese: "I have seen the general of the Celestial Empire." ”

He reminded: "This is His Majesty the King of Burma, which is equivalent to the prince of the kingdom of God......"

The Burmese minister's tone was arrogant, and the meaning was very clear, you are a little general, and you dare to sit on a horse when you see the king, is there still a royal law?

Xu Qingshan looked at him for a long time, and suddenly the horsewhip in his hand waved violently, and he whipped it horizontally, and with the loud whip sounding, the face of the Burmese minister seemed to have been scraped by a knife, and the blood was gushing wildly, staining half of his face red, which looked very scary.

Xu Qingshan said coldly: "A group of prisoners under the stairs dare to be lively in front of Ben Shuai?" ”

The generals of the Ming army laughed loudly, and they were extremely happy.

The Burmese king Mangbai and the Burmese ministers were so angry that their whole bodies trembled, but they shrank their heads one by one, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Xu Qingshan ordered someone to take the king's seal, captured the king of Burma and his ministers, and led the army into the city.

The Ming army ordered solemnly, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.

Suddenly, a Ming soldier escorted Alangdu to the palace where Xu Qingshan stayed, saying that the thief tried to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

Xu Qingshan learned that the old man was the prime minister of Burma, and admired his martyrdom, so he asked, "What do you say?" ”

Under normal circumstances, high-ranking officials and celebrities who are full of righteousness, when they are captured by the enemy, either laugh and die to show their heroism, or they scold and die to show their integrity.

However, this left prime minister, silent as a piece of iron, does not scream or scold, which is in stark contrast to the hard performance of the Burmese king Mangbai and the Burmese civil and military ministers.

Faced with the questioning of the supreme commander of the Ming army, Ah Lang did not reply, standing with his head held high and his eyes contemptuous.

Clearly contempt for anyone is not full contempt, but silence is the highest contempt, and Alangdu's behavior caused the indignation of the generals of the Ming army.

Xu Mingde came up with a heavy punch and hit his old face, Ah Lang was in pain like a prawn in a frying pot, curled up in a ball, but he still pretended to be forced, and his eyes were pressing.

Xu Mingde stepped forward with an arrow, grabbed the placket of Ah Langdu's clothes, pulled it in front of his eyes, and said with a hideous expression: "You dog miscellaneous who betrayed the lord and killed the king, under the pretense of cursing water negotiations, attacked and killed 32 officials and more than 200 sergeants of my Ming Dynasty, and you are innocent, and you dare to show your face in front of our army!" ”

Xu Mingde gritted his teeth, but without his father's order, he didn't dare to kill people easily, so he had to throw Ah Lang aside.

Ah Lang was so thrown that his old bones almost fell apart, but he was still not afraid, looking up to the sky and laughing.

Xu Qingshan looked at this old guy coldly, and angrily ordered to behead him!

The generals were ordered, and they drew their swords and rushed to kill, and in an instant, Ah Langdu's head fell to the ground, and even his body was divided into several pieces......

At this time, Ma Xianglin proposed: "Marshal, the Burmese ministers and soldiers will resist the Ming army, which is a great crime, and the last general recommends confiscating his family's property to reward the officers and soldiers!" ”

The generals also agreed, and it was the time for a big harvest to seize the spoils of war after the war!

Xu Qingshan immediately persuaded and said with righteousness: "The army of the king should maintain the righteousness of the people and crusade against evil and righteousness. ”

Xu Qingshan suddenly smiled and said: "The dog will naturally bark at people who are not their masters, and those who die in battle for the king of Burma will die as their master, and they cannot be treated as the same as the rebels.

Wouldn't it be a repetition of Li Chuang's old path of roasting and plundering hundreds of officials? With such an act, how can all forces in Myanmar dare to surrender? I'm afraid that the battle of Ping-Burma will have to be fought for a few years! ”

Xu Qingshan is far-sighted, magnanimous, not greedy for money, and his vision is higher than that of the generals.

Facts have proved that his approach is quite popular, a few days after the surrender of the king of Burma, tens of thousands of Qinwang Burmese troops have arrived, heard that the king of Burma has surrendered, the Ming policy is lenient, all sides of the Tusi have laid down their weapons, surrendered without a fight.

Xu Qingshan set out to Burma, and in only three months, he destroyed the overlord of the Indochina Peninsula, the Donghu Dynasty of Burma, and won countless victories, sweeping away the troubles in the south for the Ming Dynasty.

The new year is coming, and generally speaking, the generals who go out on the expedition will rush to send the victory to the Beijing division before the New Year, so that everyone can have a good year with the appreciation of Bo Tianzi and the ministers.

The Ming army entered the city of Donghu on December 11 and destroyed the Donghu Dynasty, and it was not until half a month later that the situation in Burma was completely pacified, and Xu Qingshan sent the good news to Nanjing.

However, when the good news arrived in Nanjing, Emperor Tianwu had already embarked on the road of the western expedition and appeared in the vast northwest.
