The man took a sip of tea unhurriedly, so anxious that Cheng Xiaolian couldn't wait to lift the teapot and fill him up.

"The contemptible Ruan Ping'an is the servant of Lord Ruan in the court."

Cheng Xiaolian thought for a while: "According to the captured person, our last opponent was called Ruan Ziqiang, what is the relationship with your master?" ”

"It's my young master."

Cheng Xiaolian looked at him a little playfully: "You don't want to take revenge, do you?" ”

"Hehe, did my young master die in your hands?"

"I didn't know he was dead, he ran away anyway. I thought you were here to avenge the defeat. ”

"Your Majesty's information is too underdeveloped, I don't know what happened in Myanmar, my young master was killed by them because of internal strife."

"But what does it have to do with you coming today?"

"My lord is such a son, he said before he came, if you can avenge his son, he is willing to provide all the information in Mengyang City, including the garrison, grain and grass, and the characteristics of the generals."

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "Now that we have a place to stand, we don't plan to fight Mengyang City anymore, if we attract the army of the king of Burma, wouldn't it be worth the loss?" ”

"Hmph, then I'll tell you another news, there is chaos in Mubang City, the former king's former ministers and those bandits colluded together, and the momentum is much stronger than your side, even if you take Mengyang City, a small Mengyang City, the king of Myanmar will not have time to pay attention to you in the near future."

"It can't be done, we have suffered heavy casualties, we haven't recovered yet, and this can't be done anyway."

"We don't talk darkly, you can make conditions."

Cheng Xiaolian smiled: "First, I want to get enough Han people to come to Xianli City, and second, I need weapons and elephant trainers." Third, our detailed map of the whole of Myanmar. ”

"I promise you the first and third conditions, but the second will not work. It's easy for my lord to squeeze out the Han people, and a detailed map can also be given to you, even if you have ideas about Burma, our lord has no opinion, but the second one is too risky, the elephant army is a unique branch of the army in Myanmar, and the king promulgated a new military law, only the army stationed around the royal capital can train the elephant army, and other people train the elephant army as a rebellion. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "So don't say it's to get an elephant trainer, my master can't even give you a trained elephant." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smacked his lips: "No wonder I didn't see the elephant army, it turned out to be like this, so what about the weapon?" ”

"Arms trafficking is head-killing!"

"Don't talk to me about these useless things, your master's official position is not small, just say a word, aren't those people at the city gate turning a blind eye?"

"It's too risky."

"Then we can only be sorry, we have to build a weapon at hand, and it is estimated that we will be able to attack Mengyang City in three or five years."

"You don't want to get an inch!"

"I don't think your lord would have come to us if he had the slightest other way, would you? We're rebels, after all. ”

"If you're ruthless, I'll prepare. Give me the list, it won't be much. ”

"Don't worry, we don't have a total of 2,000 people, even if we give more, it's a burden to hold."

After discussing these things, Ruan Ping'an stood up: "Your Excellency won't do anything after getting the things, right?" ”

"As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places. If I get something and don't do anything, wouldn't it be a waste of these good things, and the best opportunity to expand? ”

"It's good that Your Excellency understands this."

"I have one more question for you, do you have artillery in Burma?"

"There is a Shenji battalion modeled after the Ming Dynasty, but now they are all young masters, it's okay to walk the dogs, but it can't be fired."

"That's good."

Ruan Ping'an sent the conditional flying pigeon pass back to the mansion, of course, using code words, otherwise with this letter alone, the king of Myanmar would have exterminated the Ruan Qing court.

However, since the death of his son, Ruan Qingting is no different from raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and he began to set up arrangements.

Soon, the Han people in several cities next to Xianli City were driven out, and except for Mengyang City, there was no city with a large number of Han people within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The first of these Han people to defect was Mengyangcheng, but Mengyangcheng is now restoring order, where is there time to care about the life and death of these Han people, and there may be many spies among these people, so they are not allowed to enter the city at all. These people were forced to go to Xianli City, where they got land and houses, and learned that Xianli City was the world of the Han people, these people quickly stabilized and began to participate in production, and even many craftsmen were hired in the army.

Yang Youcai also began to set up the Nanzhen Mansion Division, Jinyiwei is divided into the North and South Zhenfu Division, this is not to say the direction, they are divided according to power, the Beizhen Mansion Division is basically a spy assassin, and the Nanzhen Mansion Division is a technician, basically skilled craftsmen. When Jinyiwei was prosperous at the beginning, the skilled craftsmen of the whole country basically gathered in the Nanzhen Fusi, so their weapons were the most advanced.

It's just that there are only advanced weapons, and there is no virtuous court, everything is in vain, and they are also beaten to the ground by Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing.

Of course, Gu Qi, the only remaining talent in the Nanzhen Mansion Division, was reluctant to teach these people the skills he learned at first, but under the persuasion of Cheng Xiaolian and Yang Youcai, he finally decided to teach everyone a little, and selected a batch of seeds among the Jinyi Guards to teach them all the things they would know.

And Cheng Xiaolian, who got the map of Myanmar, is not in the mood to study it for the time being, the largest city in front of him is Mengyang City, the others are not very big cities, and there are no defenders, and they have to be systematically digested if they are occupied, once Mengyang City recovers, it will be difficult to fight again.

Therefore, after getting the exact information of Meng Yang City, Cheng Xiaolian led 1,500 people to attack Meng Yang City, and the defenders of Meng Yang City he had to face were 1,000 people, of course, excluding the militia and guards who were driven out of the barracks by Ruan Ziqiang.

Those guards are very strong, but they are not familiar with the military formation, so the overall combat effectiveness is not very strong.

However, even so, Monyang City is one of the largest cities in northwestern Burma, with high walls and thick walls, which are very easy to defend.

Now an opportunity is placed in front of Cheng Xiaolian, according to legend, after the death of Fu Yu, on the issue of the city lord of Mengyang City, the tower family has carried out a fierce struggle, and now it is divided into three factions, and it has not yet been decided which faction is in power, and every day is holding a family meeting, and then with the mud, but there is no authoritative figure, it is difficult to solve this problem.
