"King, this is going to take refuge in the Ming Kingdom?" One of the guards of Mingisvaxiu said loudly: "Great King, although we lost more than 26,000 people in battle yesterday, there are still more than 40,000 people, and there are strong camps, so you can't surrender now, Great King!" ”

"Yes, my lord, you can't surrender now. King, at this time, the minister told the truth, although yesterday's battle saw that the Ming army was stronger than our Ava's army, but it was not too strong. But yesterday, because there were too many soldiers lost at the beginning, there were many more casualties than the Ming army in the end. ”

"In this way, most of the Ming army will have contempt for our army. Your lord, you will send someone to tell the people of the Ming Kingdom to surrender today, and they will not take our army seriously, and the matter of sealing the Tusi that you expected may not be able to be done. Mana said.

The rest of the generals also persuaded one after another. But Mingisvar waved his hand to silence them and said, "You all have a point, but I also have my reasons. ”

"Judging from yesterday's battle, the commander of the Ming army is very capable, and the command and dispatch are as important as ever, even if they continue to fight, it will be difficult to achieve victory from the Ming army, but it will only increase casualties and increase the Ming army's resentment against our army."

"Besides, since the commander of the Ming army is a wise man, he must be able to see that the casualties of our army at the beginning were all due to the encounter with firearms that had never been encountered before, rather than the fault of our army's command, and we will not take our army too lightly."

"Third," Mingis Vatius looked around, "do any of you have anything to do with the gunpowder weapons of the Ming army?" Whether it was a cannon or a later pike. We've heard that there are also cannons used by the Indian army, but we haven't bought them because they are too expensive. Which of you is sure that you can handle it? ”

"And last night's disturbance tactics of the Ming army, every once in a while with artillery, how do you deal with it? This is not just to make our army sleepless, but to kill people! Every time a shell hit the battalion, several people died, and the whole army could not be stabilized. Do you have a way to deal with it? Mingisvasius concluded.

In fact, the main reason why Mingis Vat Xiu decided to surrender today was the artillery. Although only five shells were fired last night, one of them happened to be fired near his tent!

It wasn't that Mingisva Xiu hadn't been on the battlefield, and it wasn't that his life was in danger, but when he walked out of the camp and looked at the soldiers who had been smashed directly into meatloaf by shells, a huge sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. No matter how high your status is in the face of cannonballs, it is in vain to be unlucky.

None of them spoke. They had just seen the gunpowder weapon with their own eyes yesterday, so how could they come up with a way to deal with it now?

Seeing that they had no objections, Mingis Vaxiu said, "Since you all have no opinions, I will immediately send someone to contact Mingguo to discuss the matter of taking refuge." ”

……

……

Zhu Yang was taken aback, immediately sobered up, and said with wide eyes: "What? Mingis Vaxiu is surrendering now? Frightened into surrender by a couple of horse-drawn cannons last night? ”

"I think it's incredible, but the person who was seen by the sentry we put outside came out of the Ava army camp. Besides, there is no need for Mingisvasiu to fake surrender, and when the surrender is discussed, although I will not fight, I will not allow his army to retreat. He is not stationed in the city now, and sooner or later he will run out of food. Mu Ang also said in surprise.

The two discussed for a while without results, and Zhu Yang said: "Let's not discuss why he surrendered, let's see his conditions." ”

Mu Ang took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhu Yang and said, "They still have a lot of conditions, but the most important one is to let him be a toast in Bagan." ”

Zhu Yang looked at it and said with a smile: "The conditions are not much different from what we expected." ”

"That's a lot worse. Bagan City is the capital of the previous country here in Burma, and it is also an important town after being occupied by Ava, and its city is no worse than Ava City. ”

"Besides, it's important that we plan to have Narota as the toast instead of Mingis Vasho continuing to do it. Mingis Vaxiu has been the monarch for many years and has strong control over his subordinates, and although Narota has always been the eldest prince and has led troops to fight, after all, it is not as good as Mingisvarxiu, and at most he can barely resist the Bago people; And our goal is to let him resist the Bago people, and we just need to achieve the goal. Mu Ang said.

"Then don't accept his conditions, tell them our conditions, and continue to fight if you don't accept them." Zhu Yang said.

"That's what I thought, too. If he doesn't accept our terms now, I plan to leave only 10,000 men in Ava City and take the remaining nearly 90,000 troops out of the city. To the north of the Awa army garrison was the Great Jinsha River (Irrawaddy River), and the other three sides were surrounded by large battalions, and from time to time they used artillery to fire a single shot, until they could no longer hold on. Mu Ang said.

"You're bad enough." Zhu Yang smiled: "Just do what you say." ”

……

……

"Great King, the conditions of the Ming Kingdom are so harsh that they don't even give Bagan City, only Ringanqiang City and the place south of it." It was said.

"That's it, even let the king abdicate, Ming Guo didn't take us seriously at all, don't talk about it, let's fight." Others said.

"King, this condition is indeed a bit harsh, but I am not sure about it, so I will continue to talk to the people of the Ming Kingdom. I don't think it is possible for the Ming Kingdom of Bagan City to be left to the king, but the king must strive for the position of Tusi. Mana said.

"That is, the king is not old, where is the turn of the eldest prince to succeed to the throne." Someone said.

Mingis Vaxiu himself is not willing to lose his position as toast. Although he is not young anymore, and he knows that sooner or later he will give up his position, but he is still unwilling to give up his position like this.

But the Mana Society said to himself, 'It's broken. His aim was to retain the original Ava regime, not the throne of Mingisvars. He felt that Narota's succession to the throne would definitely not convince everyone to support Mingis Vaxiu as the Tusi, and if Ming Guo resolutely did not back down, he felt that he could give in.

But now that it had clearly turned into a political struggle for the highest position, he did not dare to say anything about allowing Narota to take over.

I don't know how many more of my sons will die because of this. Mana thinks.

After that, Mingisvau's new conditions were sent to the camp of the Ming army, and he insisted that Mingisvxiu must be made to serve as the toast.

Mu Ang didn't talk nonsense with him either, and immediately ordered the establishment of two other camps to surround the Ava army.

After a few days of siege, Mingis Vaxiu discovered the food problem and sent an envoy to communicate with the Ming army, canceling all other conditions that the Ming did not accept, and only asking Mingis Vaxiu to serve as the Tusi.

Mu Ang still did not agree and continued the siege. And Li Guan also came up with a trick, every day during the day, let the people of Ava City, who have families in the Ava army, go to the vicinity of the camp to surrender, which caused the Ava army to fluctuate, and some people even secretly ran out of the camp to surrender.

In this situation of internal and external difficulties, Mingis Vaxiu had to agree to all the conditions of the Ming Kingdom.
