Compared with the difficulty of the curse water in Deng Ming's previous life, the time of this reckless white launch was not only a few months later, but also a miniature version. [This article is from]. The Ming cabinet, including Ma Jixiang, and the nobles including Mu Tianbo, the Burmese tyrants did not dare to kill them, but imprisoned them. Now the shape of the Ming court is not as desperate as Deng Ming's previous life, and the reckless white does not want to do things absolutely, the overall situation is that the Qing army is strong and the Ming is weak, and Myanmar thinks that the Qing army will eventually win, and not doing things for the time being will help appease Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, who still have some strength, and let the Ming army throw a mouse.

As for the possible reaction of the Ming army, Mang Bai believed that with Wu Sangui's strong military pressure, the Ming army did not have the strength to open up a new battlefield. If the Ming army sent a small force to Burma, Burma was a local battle, and Mang Bai felt that there was nothing to fear.

Now Mang Bai is also facing great pressure, because the Ming court is reluctant to recognize his status, and the Qing court is also unwilling to admit it, which is not good news for Mang Bai, who killed his brother and stood on his own. After careful consideration, Mang Bai felt that instead of pleading with the great emperor who had abandoned the country and gone into exile, it was better to pin his hopes on the Qing court, which had nine out of ten in China. After launching a miniature version of the curse water disaster and putting the Great Tomorrow Son and the cabinet under house arrest, Mang Bai set up troops to plunder the camp of the Great Tomorrow Prince, and rewarded his men with the property brought by Yongli.

The officers of the Ming Imperial Forest Army who fled back to Kunming cried to Li Dingguo, saying that the camp of the Son of Heaven had been plundered, and the palace maids, pavilion elders, and noble ladies had also been taken away by the Burmese.

"Why did you leave your weapons behind when you left the country?" Li Dingguo hated iron and reprimanded angrily. The Imperial Forest Army, which followed the Son of Yongli, had 3,000 armor soldiers, and they were stronger than the Burmese army loyal to the reckless white, but when they fled into Burma, they abandoned all their equipment and armor at the pass; After entering Burma, the elders and nobles gambled all day long, and the officers also went up and down, and the Imperial Forest Army was neither armed nor combative and disciplined. When Mang Bai launched the curse water difficulty, the elder and the civil and military officials were arrested, and only Mu Tianbo tried to resist alone...... Mu Tianbo had to snatch weapons from the Burmese soldiers to defend himself, but he was quickly subdued and imprisoned with Ma Jixiang.

"This is a holy order." The Imperial Guards officer wailed. He fled back alone, leaving his family and men in Burma.

Li Dingguo glared at the officer fiercely. At the beginning, in order to show that he was different from Sun Kewang, he not only agreed to the Son of Heaven to recruit the royal forest guards, but also provided them with a large amount of equipment despite public opinion. This aroused the dissatisfaction of the Xiying soldiers, and the Xiying generals of the Qin and Shu departments were still complaining behind their backs, saying that Li Dingguo was not the prince of Xiying, and he had forgotten his roots, and he sincerely wanted to be the king of Jin in the Ming Dynasty. And in the end, when the Qing army attacked, the Imperial Forest Army, which had been built with a lot of money, not only did not assist in the resistance as Li Dingguo hoped, but left all its equipment and fled abroad, and now it is impossible to complete even the most basic task of defending the Son of Heaven: "What happened in the end, you tell me in detail." ”

"Mangbai, this thief, he said that he would make an oath with the elders, and the elders and ministers of the Pavilion would go to the Cursed Water River to drink the cursed water and swear......" The officer of the Royal Forest Army suppressed his sorrow and said with tears and tears.

"And you believed?" Li Dingguo unceremoniously interrupted his narration: "Mangbai can even do his own brother, and he is unruly, do you believe that he has suddenly become a vegetarian Bodhisattva?" ”

"Both Shengshang and Motosuke are suspicious."

"And what did you do?" Li Dingguo was speechless when he asked the officers of the Royal Forest Army in one sentence.

When the Imperial Forest Army was rebuilt, of course, the old department of Sun Kewang of the Qin Department could not be used, but the warriors recommended by Li Dingguo, such as Zhao Tianba and other Jin princes, could not reassure the imperial court, so the Yongli monarchs and ministers selected those who had nothing to do with Xiying at all, and the officers were all remnants of the sons and daughters of the nobles, or people who were particularly good at patting the first assistant Ma Jixiang and the elders of the pavilion.

Before the curse of the water, although the exiled court was not at ease with Mang Bai, the army in his hand could not be counted on at all, so in the end, he could only hope that Mang Bai was sincerely loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the elders and nobles went to meet the Burmese army with their bare hands......

"In front of the eyes of the three thousand Yu Lin Lang, the elder and the important ministers were captured by hundreds of Burmese soldiers, and then sat back and watched them loot the imperial camp, kidnap the palace people and the dependents of the important ministers, what is the use of the emperor raising you?" The more Li Dingguo listened, the more angry he became, and he almost ordered the officer of the Royal Forest Army who had fled back to be pushed out and beheaded. But thinking about it, this is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven after all, and it is not the turn of a prince to decide what to do with it. Li Dingguo is in a place of right and wrong, and the rumors about him have never stopped, and Zheng Chenggong and others have always been suspicious, ready to support the new monarch after the usurpation of Xiying. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, Li Dingguo turned a blind eye to how Yongli organized the Imperial Forest Army, and also endured the impeachment of him by the Imperial History Troupe, and also pleaded guilty again and again for this. Now, if you kill the emperor's pro-army, I don't know what the rumors will become.

"You are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it doesn't matter if you watch the elders being captured by the Burmese, and you actually take them to the Burmese as slaves, which really disgraces the face of the dignified Heavenly Empire." Although Li Dingguo does not kill people, the anger in his heart is still difficult to contain. If Yongli had listened to him at the beginning and used the strong soldiers who could be used to fighting in Xiying as his guards, even if he was in a foreign country, why would he be so slaughtered: "In the final analysis, it is because you have shamelessly thrown away all your armor!" As a warrior who guards the Son of Heaven, you can abandon even the weapons you need to live, so how can the Burmese fear you? They can see through your reality at a glance, and read the full text of the fairy fruit fortune! ”

The officers of the Imperial Forest Army were so scolded by Li Dingguo that they couldn't raise their heads, and finally could only lie on the ground and whimper, begging the King of Jin to send troops to save their colleagues and their families.

"Okay, you go down to rest first, you have fled with great difficulty to report the news, it can be seen that you still have a loyal heart." After the fury, Li Dingguo's chest was full of a sense of powerlessness, the national disaster was deep, the Son of Heaven and the cabinet were so weak, how could they expel the Tartars and restore the country?

Bai Wenxuan and the others who were in attendance were also full of contempt, and Ma Bao and He Jiuyi had unconcealed contempt on their faces. He Jiuyi felt even more unreasonable at this time that Li Dingguo's opposition to Sun Kewang back then was unreasonable, and in order to support such a great tomorrow, he would make Xiying turn against each other, and it was better to support King Qin to ascend the throne.

However, He Jiuyi still has a bit of a brain, and knows that now is not the time to add fuel to the fire. After the officers of the Royal Forest Army left, He Jiuyi didn't know what was happening in Burma, and hugged his fist to Li Dingguo and said: "King, the army is ready to stop, dare to ask when to send troops to Guizhou?" ”

"What else are you going to do in Guizhou? Send a horse scout to reconfront the Burmese soldiers' defenses, prepare a text, tell them that we will send troops to welcome back the Son of Heaven, and let the Burmese soldiers Hugh block the advance of our army, otherwise we will be blamed for being ruthless. Li Dingguo said angrily.

"Great King," although Ma Bao was not a general of the Qin family, he couldn't help but ask loudly, "Are we really going to send troops to save Yuanfu and them?" ”

"It's about the safety of the court, how can you be sloppy?" Li Dingguo's face sank, and he shouted: "Don't hurry up and prepare!" ”

Of course, Li Dingguo, the undercurrent in the western camp, knew it, but he still had to react to this matter. The generals muttered to prepare for the expedition to Burma, and only Bai Wenxuan, an old comrade-in-arms, was left alone.

"The Son of Heaven who can't help up." After seeing that there was no one else in the tent, Bai Wenxuan sighed. When the news of the curse water tribulation spreads, the prestige of the Yongli court will be dealt a heavy blow again, and the king of Jin, who is related to him, will also be damaged by Yan zhòng. The officers and men within the Xiying camp will further question Li Dingguo's decision to unconditionally support Yongli.

"That's the Son of Heaven." Li Dingguo smiled bitterly. He knew that the soldiers of Xiying had no loyalty to Yongli, and after the Son of Heaven abandoned the country, Li Dingguo continued to maintain the authority of the Yongli court at the expense of his own prestige. If it continues like this, no matter how strong Li Dingguo's connections and prestige are, sooner or later he will be completely consumed in this bottomless pit.

"Indeed." Bai Wenxuan nodded. As Li Dingguo's righteous brother and closest comrade-in-arms, he can understand what Li Dingguo did. Yongli is the last banner to maintain the apparent unity of the Anti-Qing Alliance, and if Yongli really has an accident, it is difficult to predict what will happen to the Anti-Qing Alliance. If anyone suspected that Li Dingguo had also betrayed the imperial court, then those who had joined Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan because they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty might regard Xiying as an enemy, and those who were pessimistic and disappointed might even lose all their fighting spirit to continue resisting and surrender to the Qing court.

However, even if Li Dingguo's hard work can be understood, the dangerous anti-Qing alliance will not be able to withstand the wind and waves, and Bai Wenxuan's disappointment in his heart is still there.

"If it weren't for the ...... of King Jin" Bai Wenxuan muttered silently in his heart, now his loyalty to the Yongli court is completely against Li Dingguo's prestige is barely maintained, if a similar situation happens again, Bai Wenxuan doesn't know if he can continue to be loyal to Yongli.

"Send someone to Chengdu and bring all the fast horses." Li Dingguo was physically and mentally exhausted, and under the pressure of Wu Sangui, he was unable to send a large army to rescue the imperial court, and he urgently needed the support of his allies. Even if there was only political support, in order to continue to maintain the loyalty of the Ming army in Yunnan to the imperial court, so as to preserve the precarious anti-Qing alliance: "Hurry up and inform the Duke of Baoguo (Deng Ming's newly obtained title) that the Duke of Baoguo hastened to denounce the shameless crimes of the Burmese." ”

"What about Guizhou?"

Li Dingguo shook his head weakly: "The army's heart is unstable, and we can't help when we settle down." ”

……

After the Qing army in Guiyang learned the news of the curse water disaster, Wu Sangui laughed: "This king originally prepared 30,000 horses to prevent Li Dingguo from disregarding the old grudge with the An family to interfere with this king's plan. Good! Mang Bai is really good, this king can use these soldiers and horses to clean up An Shuixi, and solve this big problem before the New Year. ”
