Chapter 652: After Liu Deng's Army
"Why don't Shimazu Tatars go our way? Whether this rifled gun is good for fighting is said to be a black gun! ”
"I know that you Zheng Dazui shouts that you are Deng Zilong's descendant all day long, so Shimazu Tartar doesn't dare to go with us."
The two red-clothed officers looked at the battlefield where the smoke had just stopped, dozens of beasts with long noses and big ears were meekly cleaning up the battlefield under the command of the driver, looking at these huge beasts, the officer who was called "Zheng Dazui" by his colleagues said again: "If you ride a war elephant and shoot a black gun, it should be more comfortable......
Before the words could be spoken, a noisy shout sounded in the far southwest, and a large group of gray-clothed soldiers were defeated, and then dozens of war elephants in armor and shields were knocked out of the dense forest, they were like moving hills, screaming and screaming, and rushing for their lives. Smoke rose on the backs of these war elephants, the Burmese musketeers.
This is Mengmi Baojing, the earliest jade production land in Myanmar, leading 10,000 Yunnan Tusi soldiers and hundreds of war elephants, Cheng Yingde, the governor of Yunnan who followed Fang Tangheng to fight, took this place as a strategic place, just by selling mining rights in different areas, it can make up for millions of taels of silver military expenses.
For the Burmese, Baojing is not so valuable, but after all, it is a source of luxury goods, and Meng Mi is close to the current Burmese capital Ava, so it is an inevitable choice to counterattack the Chinese army with war elephant troops.
"Danger! We just occupied this place, the cannon is still in the back, and the trench has not been dug yet! ”
"What trench to dig? We're going to fight Ava soon, if it's not Governor Cheng who wants to stand firm here, he won't suffer such a cold knife, civil officials are civil officials, and they will only defeat the martial arts! ”
"Hurry back! Relying on those Tusi soldiers can't shake the scene, they should already be gathering people! ”
The two of them hurried towards the rear, slowing down after a few steps, and then simply stopped.
I saw that the Burmese war elephants bloomed with scarlet dots from time to time, some rolled their noses and turned around, some frantically hit left and right, and some were too lucky, and the red dots bloomed directly on the brain, and the huge body fell to the ground with a bang. There is even a magic shot, directly killing the war elephant with the driver on the back of the war elephant, and shaking off the musketeer on the back like shaking lice.
This burst of gunfire came from the Yinghua war elephants guarding both sides of the treasure well, and the smoke of gunpowder continued to rise on the backs of twenty or thirty war elephants, and the frequency was so dense that someone should have handed the guns below. At the same time, from a distance of hundreds of feet, there can still be such an accurate head, and this gun can only be a rifled gun. If it's a smoothbore gun, the chances of hitting an elephant at this distance are not much different from hitting a person, and it's all towards the moon anyway.
The Burmese war elephants suffered a heavy blow, and the offensive came to an abrupt halt, and the Tusi soldiers on the Yinghua side were greatly demoralized, shouted loudly, and counterattacked back.
Rubbing his nose, the "Zheng Dazui" sneered: "These war elephants brought by Governor Cheng are still quite effective......
A moment later, Zheng Dazui was shocked and panicked again.
"Deng Haoran, the commander of the three wings and three sentinels of the rear battalion of the left division of the Eagle Yang Army, I don't know what the governor sends?"
Cheng Yingde naturally didn't have a long tailwind, and there were complaints about Cheng Yingde bringing a group of Tusi soldiers and war elephants to mix with the Yingyang Army, slowing down the itinerary and disrupting the combat power. Deng Dazui was not worried about any punishment, he was afraid that his sentry would not be pulled over by Governor Cheng to be a war elephant soldier riding a war elephant and putting a long gun is a comfortable way to feed the war elephant and brush the skin and take a bath, which is too embarrassing......
"I heard that you are a descendant of Deng Zilong!?
Seeing this captain, Cheng Yingde asked, Deng Dazui breathed a sigh of relief that he was not going to be a bird and beast gardener...... But then he was sweating profusely. …,
"During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Liu and Deng Zilong resisted the northern invasion of hundreds of thousands of Burmese troops in Yunnan, and Deng Zilong guarded Yaoguan for eight years, and was an immortal hero who consolidated my southern Chinese Xinjiang. It's a pity that the battle of Confucianism is not left in detail. If you are a descendant of Deng Zilong, do you have any documents left in the clan? Even if it wasn't written by Zheng Zilong himself, there should be a description of the soldiers, right? ”
Cheng Yingde's question went straight to the most secret place in Zheng Haoran's heart, he scolded himself one by one that his big mouth was really the source of trouble, what to brag about is not good, he had to take what his grandfather said when he was a child, and he didn't have any evidence as a cowhide, and he blew it whenever he met people, and now it has been passed into the ears of Governor Cheng......
Wait, Zheng Zilong, Myanmar? Deng Zilong, who Governor Cheng said, wasn't Deng Zilong who fought against the Shimazu Navy in North Korea and finally died on the battlefield?
Looking at the little captain's confused and worried face, Cheng Yingde misunderstood and continued to speak generously.
"Those who do not know are not guilty, and this is also the sin of those who write history. Deng Zilong started from the grass, pacified the Japanese Kou, fought in Burma, and aided Korea to attack Japan, and his battles with foreign enemies were all battles to defend the country, which was enough to make the people ashamed, but even so, there were still people in the country who arranged what "Three Great Expeditions of the Holy Dao" compared the official family to Emperor Wanli...... I'm @#¥%! ”
Cheng Yingde should have endured it for a long time, facing a small lieutenant, or Deng Zilong's descendants, there is no taboo, and he scolded, the object is naturally the Mo Party in the country who are essentially Confucian, but now they are dressed in the clothes of the Mo family. They were born against the war, and they fought in Sichuan and entered the northwest, which was the great righteousness of China, and they did not dare to say much. can gather a large army into Burma, which naturally provides them with a spray point.
"You are in too much of a hurry, and Fang Dutong doesn't have time to let the military ceremonial supervisor give you a good lesson. Do you know that the place where we are standing now is my Chinese land? No, no, I'm not talking about the Burmese Xuanji ......."
Cheng Yingde started to take classes, this should be the "training" that every officer should receive before entering Burma, but unfortunately the time was too rushed, Fang Tangheng did not implement it to all officers, this is also no way, the army has been moving, and can only send a few officers as representatives to receive training, unless all the soldiers are rested after the battle.
In terms of the tributary system of China, Myanmar has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, took over the Longchuan Ping Burma Propaganda Division set up by Meng Yuan, and set up the Burmese Propaganda Division, which was changed to the Burmese Propaganda Division during Yongle. When he arrived in Yongle, in addition to Annam Siam, on the Southeast Asian subcontinent, the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty was "three declarations and six comforts". It includes the three Xuanfu Divisions of Nandian, Ganya and Longchuan, as well as the ten Xuanfu Divisions of Mubang, Mengyang, Burma, Babai (Lanna), Cheli, Laos, Dagula, Demasa and Diwura.
During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Burmese Donghu Mang Dynasty had already dominated Burma, and although it still wore the skin of the Ming Burmese proclamation, it unceremoniously attacked the Shan and Kachin princely states in the north, and even extended its influence to Assam in present-day India.
By the time of Emperor Wanli of Shenzong, the Burmese people were even more unscrupulous and began to seek the Longchuan Xuanwei Division and the Yunnan Zhutusi. During the Wanli period, most people felt that the "Three Great Expeditions of Wanli" were familiar, but the Ming Dynasty and the Burmese people did not remember much about the decades of tug-of-war in the southwest.
In this tug-of-war, the two Xuanfu Divisions of Mengyang in the west of Yunnan and Mubang in the south, as well as smaller pacification divisions such as Mengmi, were taken away from the Ming Dynasty by the Burmese and never returned. After Wanli, the Ming Dynasty declined, and it was no longer possible to care about these old accounts. Of course, when Emperor Yongli was "extradited" to Wu Sangui by the Burmese king Bai Python, he must have regretted that he didn't read these histories early and didn't see through Myanmar as a white-eyed wolf.
That's what Cheng Yingde knows, and Li Yan knows even more. He also knew that Burma was also a "mongrel" left by the Britons in Asia. The Britons themselves divided Burma into "Upper Burma" dominated by the Shan and Kachin (Jingpo) ethnic groups, and "Lower Burma", with Upper Burma being the Mong Yang and Mubang regions. …,
However, in order to harm others and not benefit themselves, dig up the rabbit to resist and defend the country, especially to prevent the Chinese country, the British had to learn to pinch India, and forcibly blend the two parts together to make a country, which led to the emergence of modern Burma.
"Teaching at the job and under the job is refreshing...... Ah, Deng Zilong, this, I'm afraid it's a colleague's joke, when, it can't be true! ”
The governor of a province specially took the time to fight with himself, what is the picture? Isn't it just looking at the signboard of Deng Zilong's descendants? But Zheng Haoran didn't dare to take over this stubble, the emperor dared to say that his grandfather was nameless, because he was the emperor who founded the country and opened the new world! He is such a small soldier, dare to rely on his ignorant childhood memories to force Zheng Zilong's descendants? Isn't this looking for death?
Deng Haoran still wants to take advantage of Cheng Yingde's talk to get up and change the topic, but he doesn't want to know what kind of character Cheng Yingde is? Only he fooled others, no one else could fool him, and it was impossible for him to fool himself, and he turned back to the topic in one sentence, which frightened Deng Haoran to quickly "admit his guilt and surrender to the law", and shirked responsibility by the way.
"The face of the governor...... It's terrible, I hope he won't speak ill of me in front of Fang Dutong and send me to ...... Brush the elephant's butt.
Walking on the way back to his camp, Zheng Haoran was still palpitating, and when he turned his head, he saw a group of gray-clothed soldiers brushing the elephants, and he was even more frightened.
"Here...... Really served us before? ”
As he walked, Zheng Haoran's mood gradually became complicated.
"Zheng He goes to sea, the entire South Seas, and even the Western Ocean, must be under our control, not to mention one Myanmar."
"Yes, Governor Cheng said this, I'm afraid that he has ulterior motives, so he wants us to treat the Burmese not as Burmese, but as Chinese, so that there will be no rape and plunder, and no bad reputation will be tainted with their civil officials!"
"Zheng Zilong was killed by the civil official! When you don't use it, kick it away, and buckle your hat, and when you are in a hurry, you have to pull it out, phew! ”
"That's the old man Zheng himself, although the civil official hates it, but not all civil officials are so shameless, and the civil officials in our country are even more ...... the rules."
"Hey, let's complain and complain, don't take it seriously, Deng Dazui! You are really shrugging, in the past, you swore that you patted your chest and said that you were Deng Zilong's descendants, where did the momentum go!? ”
The comrades-in-arms in the camp talked about Zheng Haoran's experience, thinking of the history that Cheng Yingde said, and thinking of the mixed feeling of strangeness and familiarity when he stepped on this land, Deng Haoran's courage suddenly surged.
"The old man is the descendant of Deng Zilong!"
Not long after, when the army surrounded Ava City, Deng Haoran's shouts were answered.
"Is it after Liu Deng's army?"
The people who came were Shan people from Mengyang and Mubang, and they also followed Liu and Deng Zilong to fight against the Burmese. Although the "Liu Zheng army" defeated the invasion of Mang Yingli, they were no longer able to take care of these two Xuanwei Divisions, so they could only acquiesce to the annexation of the Burmese, because the ethnic origins were different, and they did not want to live under the oppression of the Burmese all the time...... )
