Of course, Zhu Yang was unwilling to form a brotherly state with him: 'How can I, the prince of the Heavenly Empire, be a brother and brother with the barbarians!' ’

But his hands are still out of reach: although he has sent troops this time, the real Han army is only more than 20,000 people, and he still has to leave troops to garrison Yongchang, and in the end there are no more than 20,000 Han soldiers who can stay on the newly occupied land, and it is already stretched to hold the vast territory from Taigong City through Ava City to Bagan City, where is there still room for external expansion.

And since the Burmese continue to rebel, it means that even if it is taken over here, it is a hot potato. So in the end, he pinched his nose and agreed to form a brotherhood with Bago and a brother with Rasutoli, although Rasudri was more than twenty years older than him.

As for the Ming Dynasty's vassal, Zhu Yang also remembered that Yun Xi basically did not accept the new Fanguo as a minister, so he just said that he would allow Bagu's envoy to go to the capital, and he couldn't guarantee whether he could become the Ming Dynasty's Fanguo.

Luo Sudtori didn't care about this, he thought that it would be enough to form a brotherly state with Zhu Yang's Min Domain, and he didn't know the operation mode of the Ming Empire and his relatives at all.

Rasaduri also married one of his sisters, his father's youngest daughter, to Zhu Ying. However, Zhu Yang did not give her a name, and because she didn't know Chinese or even Thai, Zhu Yang handed her over to Dao Baifeng for training. But Rathali didn't care.

While fighting with the Burmese in the field, the Ming army also broke through 16 Burmese villages and captured 5,000 or 6,000 Burmese women and children; Although the captured property was not worth much, at least it kept them from lacking food to eat.

After hearing that the Ming army was going to retreat, although Rathali was a little reluctant, but the Ming army had dealt a heavy blow to the rebellious Burmese, and the remaining army was enough to annihilate him, and he did not dwell on it anymore.

In this way, on the last day of October, Zhu Yang led his troops and the envoys of the Bago people, and returned to Ava by the joy of Rasaduri.

……

"It's finally time to arrive at Ava City," Dao Baifeng took out a handkerchief and wiped Zhu Yang's sweat, and said: "Ah Lang, I haven't had time to go to the river to take a bath in the past few days of rapid marching, and I can't be as casual as you men, I haven't taken a bath for three days." The weather here in Myanmar is hot and uncomfortable. ”

"When you get to Ava City, you can take a shower." Zhu Yang said: "But it's true that it's too hot here in Myanmar, and I didn't think Yunnan was so hot in Yongchang in the past." ”

"yes, yes, I used to feel much cooler in Mengyang than here in Myanmar, but now it's the beginning of November, so it's time for the weather to get cooler, and I have to wear thicker clothes, but it's still very hot here." Dao Baifeng complained.

While the two of them were talking, the guard gently knocked on the wood around the carriage window, and then said: "Your Highness, there is the gate of Ava City ahead, He Zuoxiang greeted him out of the city gate, Your Highness, you have to come out and speak." ”

"This is at the gates of Ava? Go out alone. Zhu Yang said. He got out of the carriage and jumped to the ground; The guards moved a horse over, and Zhu Yang rode to the front of the team.

Soon he saw He Fu, said a few words to him after answering the salute, and ordered the soldiers to go to their own camps, and he and He Fu returned to the temporary palace together; Dao Baifeng went to Meng Yangren's residence first.

After Zhu Yang changed his clothes and felt refreshed, he returned to the front hall and said with a smile to He Fu: "He Fu, why did you go to the gate of Ava City to greet Gu today?" Lone remembers that you are not such a person who is so obsessed with small sections. When you were in Yongchang before, you never greeted Gu when you left Yongchang and returned. ”

"This time, His Royal Highness personally led the army south to occupy Bagan, and he also promoted the prestige of my Ming Dynasty in Bago, so the minister naturally had to go out to greet him." He Fu also smiled.

"Really?" Zhu Yang smiled again.

"I can't hide anything from Your Highness, it's the ministers who have something to find Your Highness." He Fu said.

"What are you doing with something still hidden! What the hell is going on? Zhu Yang said.

"In the past, His Highness raided many people's homes in Ava City, and in addition to getting a lot of property, there were also many fields outside Ava City that became His Highness. The minister thought that he should give some of these lands to the soldiers of the three guards. They originally had land outside Yongchang City, but now that His Highness has moved to Ava City, they can only come to Ava, but in this way, these ordinary soldiers have no way to take care of Yongchang's fields. It would be better for His Highness to exchange the fields outside Ava City with them for the fields of Yongchang, so that the soldiers could take care of the land nearby. He Fu said.

"This is naturally what should be done, and on the way back, Lone also thought about it. But there is one thing that Gu is a little worried about: not only ordinary soldiers, but even ordinary generals would better exchange fields like this to reassure their hearts. ”

"But Gu didn't know if there was enough land near Ava City. It is nothing if all the lonely fields are exchanged to Yongchang, but if the fields are not enough, then if the distribution of fields is unfair, the morale of the army is also unstable. Zhu Yang said.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the minister has already calculated this period of time, and now the fields outside Ava City are enough to exchange all the fields outside Yongchang City, and they can still be a little rich."

"And even if it's insufficient, it's nothing. Your Highness, Buddhism is also very prosperous here in Ava, and it occupies a lot of land; But Buddhism here is different from Buddhism in China, what is it called Upper Theravada Buddhism, although the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas enshrined are similar, but the teachings can be different. ”

"Your Highness can invite Buddhist masters from China to popularize Ming Buddhism, and the Buddhist temples here can accept the protection and support of Ming Buddhism, and are unwilling to accept the ban and confiscation of land by His Royal Highness of Han Buddhism, so that there will be enough land." He Fu said.

"Great idea!" Zhu Yang praised. Of course, he saw the temple in Ava City, but he just wanted to use these Buddhists to pacify the place and fight one faction after another. But I didn't expect to take the opportunity to confiscate the land of many temples.

"Lone for two days, no, Lone is going to the capital soon, I don't have time to talk to these monks, wait for Lone to come back from the capital and then arrange this matter." Isn't there enough land now, and I'm not in a hurry? Besides, Lone happened to invite a few masters from the Central Plains. Zhu Yang said.

"Your Highness, the minister still has something to tell His Highness, and His Highness must deal with it before going to the capital." He Fu suddenly said again.

"Huh? What must be dealt with before going to the capital alone? Zhu Yang asked with some curiosity.

"Two countries sent envoys to Ava City, and they wanted to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, or even to His Highness." He Fu said.

"Two countries?" Zhu Yang asked, "Where did the two countries come from?" Was there a tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty? ”
