Since the beginning of the year, after the Ming Dynasty learned of the alliance between Donghu and the Jin State, Jinyiwei began to operate in Donghu.

There are many Mon leaders in southern Burma, and Si Mizhan is only one of them, and his power is not the strongest, but Jinyiwei values his identity as a descendant of the Bago royal family, so he focuses on contacting him.

Si Mizhan's hair is a little gray, and his body is a little rickety, but his eyes are sharp and clear, and he looks like a powerful person.

He greeted him with a smile, laughed and saluted, "Envoy, I can count on you coming." ”

Wang Dana also had a polite smile on his face, and when he came before, Si Mizhan did not have this attitude.

The reason for the change in attitude now is largely due to the setback suffered by Taungoo's army in northern Burma, which gave him an opportunity.

It is not easy to instigate a man in his fifties who is half-buried in the loess.

Si Mizhan was very shrewd, although he felt that now was a good time for the independence of the Mon people and the restoration of the Bago Dynasty, but he was very calm, and did not immediately go back to Wang Dana, but wanted to wait for the Ming Dynasty to find him again and give him a lot of cheapness.

Jin Yiwei naturally understood Si Mi Zhan's calculations, and Wang Dana knew that Si Mi Zhan was waiting for him to come to the door, but he didn't come to the door, but went to contact other Meng leaders.

After all, it is not difficult to find ambitious people, and when Simizhan saw that Wang Dana would meet with other leaders, the old man immediately couldn't sit still, and finally sent someone to take the initiative to invite Wang Dana.

This Wang Dana is just a hundred households in Nanjing, because he betrayed the Tang King, he was ashamed, and he couldn't get along in Nanjing, so he begged for a drudgery to go to Nanyang.

In Nanyang, except for the initial serious illness, which almost killed him, everything else is actually fine. After all, he was a small character in Nanjing, but in Nanyang, he suddenly became a big man, which made him very happy.

Wang Dana waved his hand, walked directly past Si Mizhan, sat down on the left head of the hall, and then said with a playful smile: "The big leader asked people to invite me over, but what can I figure out?" ”

Si Mi Zhan turned around in embarrassment, then led a few people back to their seats, ordered people to serve tea and fruits, and arranged for two women to fan and serve Wang Dana thoughtfully, before he smiled and said, "Envoy, I have already figured it out." The Burmese have oppressed our Mon for a long time, and now that the Celestial Empire supports us, how can we not know how to raise it. ”

Seeing Si Mizhan's expression, Wang Dana nodded with satisfaction, and when Si Mizhan saw this, he immediately asked, "Envoy, I don't know the conditions I said last time?" ”

"The conditions remain the same, the imperial court will subsidize you with 200,000 taels of silver, but it will provide assistance to the big chief in batches in the form of firearms, armor, etc." Wang Dana said with a smile: "If the big chief restores the Bago Kingdom, the imperial court will also fund the big chief with another 100,000 taels of silver." However, after the great leader defeated Donghu, these subsidies had to be repaid with food and other materials, and a treaty of trade with our dynasty had to be signed. ”

If it is done well, Jinyiwei's position in the DPRK will be reinforced, and when resources are distributed in the future, it will have confidence, so Jinyiwei attaches great importance to it.

In order to prevent the Mon people from taking money and not doing anything, Jinyiwei did not give cash, but provided financial assistance in the form of firearms.

This is actually to lend money to the Meng people first, and then use the money to buy firearms in the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty giving weapons to the Meng people on credit, and then paying them back when the Meng people have money.

The whole pass, the Ming Dynasty actually didn't spend any money, and the money still had to be paid by the Meng people themselves.

The benefit of this matter is the Ming Dynasty, the military workshop, and the Jinyi Guard.

This is also a compromise between Hu Weizong, Yu Taichu and Chen Bangyan and Chen Yonghua after meeting, so that Jinyiwei can share a part of the resources, but the military workshop headed by Wude can still make money.

The development of commerce and economic prosperity also filled the Ming Empire with dirty power-for-money transactions and collusion between officials and businessmen.

After Si Mizhan heard this, the conditions did not change, and the Ming Dynasty did not sit on the ground and raise the price, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If he can get these materials and help him succeed in recovering the country, the grain and trade treaties are easy to negotiate, but after all, Donghu has been strong for decades, and he is still a little worried in his heart, so he asked: "Envoy, if I return to the country now, I don't know if I can immediately claim the domain to the Celestial Empire?" ”

After the Ming Dynasty helped the Ryukyus get rid of the Shimazu clan and help Korea to restore the country, it gave the original tributary system a great shock, so that some countries, such as Siam, regretted that they did not accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty and were kicked out of the vassal state.

If Bago regains the country and becomes a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, then according to the obligations of the Ming Dynasty to the vassals, the Ming army must ensure the safety of Bagu, even if Simizhan is defeated by Donghu, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to help, then he will be invincible.

But the Ming Dynasty supported him, but now he doesn't want to fight directly with Donghu, how can he let him be a vassal ?

Wang Dana immediately smiled, "Don't worry, big chief, your heart is to the court, I will convey your meaning to the court, but the court has its own set of rules for vassal vassals, even if Bagu is restored, he can only be a tributary state first, and when the court feels that the time is ripe, he can only make Baguna a vassal." ”

Hearing the reply, Si Mizhan couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but think about it, if the Ming Dynasty needs to do it, then why does the Ming Dynasty support him, won't he destroy Donghu by himself?

Si Mizhan adjusted his mood for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know when the supplies for the Celestial Empire's support will arrive?" ”

Wang Dana smiled, "The goods have arrived in Forou, as long as the big leader nods, within half a month, it will be delivered to the big leader." In addition, the big leader can rest assured that when necessary, the sailors of our dynasty will give the big leader some support. ”

Si Mizhan groaned for a while, and several young Meng men next to him were already eager to try, and they were a little anxious, especially Si Mizhan's son had already urged him in the local language to ask his father to quickly agree.

After all, if Si Mizhan succeeds in recovering the country, he will be the future king of Bago, and this temptation is not something that anyone can resist.

"Good!" After being silent for a while, Smizhan finally got up and saluted, "Then please leave it to the envoy." ”

Wang Dana smiled slightly, and when he took out an agreement, "The big chief signed him, and the official will ship the goods immediately." ”

Si Mizhan did not hesitate, asked someone to bring a brush, and signed the name directly, Wang Dana smiled and put the agreement away, did not stay here for long, and left.

However, he did not go to Phroeu, but sent his men to inform the merchant ships to bring the goods, and he went to the territory of another Mon chieftain.

The thousands of years of political wisdom and imperial skills of the Central Plains Dynasty told the ruler that he must learn to check and balance, and Jinyi Wei was deeply connected.

When supporting Si Mizhan, it is also necessary to support a No. 2 person to come out, just like the method of Emperor Jiajing back then.

If after the success of Bago's restoration, he wants to break the agreement with the Ming Dynasty, then at this time, the Ming Dynasty still has a No. 2 person, or even a No. 3 person, to choose, who can support them and subvert Simizhan.

In September, shortly after the defeat of the Taungoo state in northern Burma, the northern Ainengchi united with the Shan Tusi to successively capture Nandu, Lashio, Mubang and other places, and established Shan State in Lashio, encroaching on the territory of Taungoo along the Ava River to the south, and waving the banner of recovering the Shan capital city of Ava.

Ainengqi can grow so fast, naturally it is inseparable from the money and food support of the Ming Dynasty, Donghu King was shocked, ready to organize the fifth encirclement and suppression, to stabilize the situation in northern Burma, but at this time the Mon people in the south suddenly launched a rebellion.

As the royal family of Bago, Simizhan united with the Mon tribe to capture Daguang, that is, the Yangon area, and declared the restoration of Bago, and the places of Bosheng, Mawlamyine, Dawei, and Mergui in the south of Donghu all fell within a month.

The Bago area was an important granary of the Donghu Kingdom, and the king of Donghu had no choice but to restore Bai Mang's military power and let him lead the army to extinguish the rebellion of the Mon people first.

Bai Mang led 50,000 Burmese soldiers to the south, defeated the Mon army north of Yangon, killed the king of Bago Si Mizhan, and the Mon army fled back to Daguang.

This made Jin Yiwei unexpected, and Si Mizhan himself was afraid and did not expect that he would die so easily.

History is full of accidents.

Soon Bai Mang chased and was about to attack Daguang City, but at this time, the Ming Dynasty sailors drove the warship over and warned Bai Mang not to provoke a war.

Bai Mang scolded, he had never seen such a shameless one, but he was a little afraid of the warships of the Ming Dynasty, so he hesitated.

Taking advantage of Bai Mang's lack of attack, Wang Dana was in the city and immediately asked the Mon people to support the son of Si Mizhan as the king of Bago, and at this time, Ainengqi in northern Burma led the Shan army to the northeast of Ava City Xibu, and the king of Donghu had to send half of Bai Mang's men and horses back to help resist the Shan army, and in this way, he missed the opportunity to defeat the Mon.

Although the national strength of Donghu still exists, and the Burmese control most of the territory in the central part of the country, he is also exhausted under the attack of Shan State and Bago, and the Jin State, an ally, is basically about to be abolished.

When the Ming Dynasty subverted the rule of Donghu through Jinyiwei, the Ming Dynasty's attack on the Jin State had also begun, but unlike the two-fisted attack against Donghu, the Ming Dynasty gave the Jin State a sweetener first.

Beginning in March, the Ming Dynasty began to levy heavy taxes on cotton cloth and cotton transported to the Jin Kingdom, which directly led to the rise in cotton cloth prices in the Guanzhong area, and the major domestic workshops in the Ming Dynasty also reduced the supply to the cloth village and increased the export of sea trade, resulting in the same rise in the price of cotton cloth in the Ming Dynasty.

The soaring price of cotton cloth made the large cotton growers in Guanzhong immediately boil.

At the same time, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty swept the tobacco in the Guanzhong area, which made the price of tobacco rise to a terrifying point, to the point that a pound of cigarettes could be exchanged for a horse, and there was nothing to do.

The merchants of Jinguo began to inquire, why did the price of cotton cloth rise so quickly? At this time, the Ming Dynasty released news that with the opening of Malacca by the Ming Dynasty, merchant ships could go directly to India, and received orders for nearly one million horses from the Mughal Empire and the Sassanid Empire, but the Ming Dynasty could not produce it, so the price of cotton cloth soared.

The people of Jin Guo gasped when they heard this, and at this time, suddenly a batch of cotton cloth orders were transferred to Jin Guolai······
