Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, was a loyal courtier of the Great Tomorrow, and he was willing to give everything for the Ming Emperor, and in Deng Ming's previous life, he shed his last drop of blood to defend Yongli. If Mu Tianbo knew that the emperor claimed to the King of Burma that his murder was self-inflicted, he would probably only regret it and would not regret it, because defending the great tomorrow is Mu Tianbo's ambition, and it is the belief of the Mu family for hundreds of years since Zhu Yuanzhang sealed Mu Ying.

Since Yongli was placed under house arrest by Mang Bai, the emperor's Imperial Forest Army was quickly redeemed by Yang Zai and reorganized into an occupation army. A few years later, the guards were gradually removed by the occupying forces. At this time, Mu Tianbo was full of hope, exercising diligently every day, looking forward to the day when he could get rid of the life of a prisoner, and then he would lead the Royal Forest Army into Ava and rescue the emperor. But this day couldn't wait, and in the end, in addition to his family, only the first assistant Ma Jixiang, Mu Tianbo and a group of eunuchs were left by Yongli - after Yang Zai studied with the officers of the occupation army, they all thought that Mu Tianbo was too dangerous, and even if Ma Jixiang wanted to come back, they could not agree to the Burmese release of Qianguo Gong.

As long as Yang Zai can send enough reparations to Kunming and Chengdu, he will have enough say in the Burma issue. Even when Li Dingguo asked about it, Bai Wenxuan and others would also help Yang Zai explain; As for Chengdu, the imperial government and the academy will warmly welcome the emperor of northern Burma.

Last year, Yang Zai sent his father-in-law Ma Jixiang out as well, probably thinking that Ma Shoufu would never pose any threat to his status again. Yang Zai's conjecture is not wrong, ten years of house arrest have worn out Ma Jixiang's ambitions, and the original high-spirited Daming Shoufu has now become a weakened old man. When the Burmese guards came to pick up the people with the order, Ma Shoufu simply said goodbye to Mu Tianbo, the last refugee friend, with a trace of shame on his face, and hurriedly followed the Burmese soldiers with his head down, as if he was a deserter who abandoned his companions on the battlefield.

Due to the growing strength of the Ming army in the country, Mu Tianbo also admitted that Myanmar is getting better and better for the Yongli Emperor, and now the Yongli Tianzi can go out hunting accompanied by the Burmese soldiers as long as he wants, and if Mu Tianbo is interested, he can also go along; Every once in a while, Mang Bai would also pay tribute to the Son of Heaven and the East Palace to several Burmese court maids. Hearing that the pair of ministers who came to meet and greet from time to time were finally the only one left, Mu Tianbo, and Emperor Yongli lost his temper again and scolded several unlucky palace people.

The king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the king is humiliated and the ministers die.

Mu Tianbo has been planning to abscond, but he is always at ease. When he realized that it was impossible for Yang to let him return to China as a traitor, Mu Tianbo entrusted his wife and children to the queen - the latter also helped Mu Tianbo persuade the son of Yongli to believe that Mu Tianbo was not greedy for life and afraid of death and wanted to abandon the king and escape, but really planned to get out of trouble by himself, so as to gather loyal people to save the emperor.

Probably because it was too long, and the courtiers of the Ming court were basically released, the Burmese soldiers who monitored Mu Tianbo's family were also relaxed. Mu Tianbo's body has been well maintained in the past ten years, and after successfully getting out of trouble, he found that the Burmese soldiers along the way were even more unguarded. After being stopped twice, as soon as the other party noticed that he seemed to be Chinese, he immediately became very polite, and even did not want identity credentials, and immediately let him go. He was even escorted to the border, fearing that the Chinese, who seemed to have some status, would be killed by bandits in southern Burma.

After entering the reckless ruling area of northern Burma, Mu Tianbo saw more Chinese, as if a large number of Han Chinese were pouring into Myanmar to do business; In addition to business, there are other jobs that require Han Chinese, such as the opening of many Chinese language schools in northern Myanmar.

Since five years ago, the reckless regime has made it mandatory for Burmese to take an additional test in the imperial examinations, so Chinese has become a mandatory language for officials. What's more, since three years ago, the most famous Chinese universities such as Chengdu and Xuzhou have issued scholarships to northern and southern Myanmar. In the fifteenth year of Yongli, the war reparations that Burma agreed to pay were too much, and the Yuan Council thought that it was very unfair to Burma, so it planned to take out half of the reparations received from Sichuan and return it to the people of Myanmar.

Under the rule of either recklessness or recklessness, the most diligent and intelligent Burmese who have been selected at all levels are studying hard, hoping to get a full scholarship to go to school in Sichuan. Through debate, the chamber generally agreed that when these brightest Burmese children received a comprehensive education in Sichuan, they would form a pro-China group when they returned to power, thus accelerating the recovery of the after-effects of the 15-year war in Yongli.

Many Chinese teaching in Burma, even fugitives from Yunnan and Sichuan, came to Burma to escape Kunming's arrest, and they lived a respectable life in the northern part of Burma. In fact, Mu Tianbo, who was also a fugitive, was soon targeted by a Han intermediary company on the way to Bamo, and after he stayed in the hotel, there were strange Han people to set up friendships, and asked Mu Tianbo who he was and what business he was doing in Myanmar? After seeing that Mu Tianbo was hesitant and unclear, the intermediary company was even more convinced that this was a Yunnan fugitive, probably because he had just arrived in Myanmar and had no place to live, so he enthusiastically recommended Mu Tianbo to go to work at the "Reckless King International Language School" to teach Yunnan dialect. The intermediary company also said that with Mu Tianbo's Chinese proficiency, it would not be a problem to teach and marry 10 Burmese girls within a few years -- the intermediary company only charged half a year's salary as an introduction fee, and could accept installment payments.

After rejecting the company's job recommendation, Mu Tianbo ran into another one when he stayed at the hotel the next day. The Chinese businessman was a lawyer, and after determining that Mu Tianbo's origin was unknown and that he didn't seem to have any income, he wanted to woo him to be a professional plaintiff -- although Mu Tianbo seemed to be a bit learned, the Chinese businessman hinted that he couldn't sit back and eat, and that not exposing his wealth was the way to keep his peace -- apparently the lawyer was accustomed to seeing robbers who had fled abroad, and mistook Mu Tianbo for a similar person.

Yesterday for that school, Mu Tianbo could at least understand what the other party wanted to do, but this lawyer completely confused Mu Tianbo.

What is a career plaintiff? Seeing that Mu Tianbo knew nothing about the situation in Myanmar, the person who recruited him smiled slightly, and while thinking in his heart that he could lower the salary and commission, he patiently explained: The Burmese government treats Chinese and Burmese reports differently. The Burmese lose cattle all year round, but they have never been able to find a few of them, if they really find one of them occasionally, the owner will burst into tears, beat gongs and drums to send a plaque to the government, grateful to the official for the people's decision; However, the Chinese are different, last time a Chinese migrant worker who first arrived in Bamo lost a Buddhist bead bracelet made of peach wood, which was probably not worth a few dollars, but after reporting to the official, the whole city was under martial law, and the Yamen caught and quickly swarmed out, and finally picked up the beads with broken threads one by one in a gutter and wore them into strings.

This is where this kind of litigation firm was born. The firm, which wanted to attract Mu Tianbo, had stores in major cities in the north and south of Myanmar, and advertisements were plastered all over the streets and alleys, with the words "Chinese sue on their behalf." According to this businessman, the remuneration of Chinese in different regions is not the same, the price of Liangguang and Fujian people is very low, Zhejiang people and Liangjiang people are slightly better, but like Mu Tianbo, when he hears the accent is Yunnan, the asking price is very expensive. However, the best ones are those who have the identification documents of Sichuan Tongxiucai - Sichuan Tongxiucai is from all over the world and cannot be confirmed by accent alone.

On the third day of staying in the hotel, there were no Chinese businessmen who came to harass Mu Tianbo again, but the owner of the store came in person and asked Mu Tianbo to save him no matter what.

"What's wrong?" Mu Tianbo heard a commotion outside the door, suspecting that there were bandits coming.

"It's some patriots who are making trouble, and Xiao Lao'er is afraid that they will make too much trouble and harm the shop." The Burmese boss told Mu Tianbo that in the past five years, as more and more Burmese people have learned about the situation in Sichuan, or have simply been to Sichuan and seen the operation of the imperial government, they have become more and more hopeful that the rule of the reckless king will change. Some Burmese scholars proposed that, like Sichuan, we should not scold people for their words, that we should allow the Burmese people to comment on current affairs, that the criminal officials should be independent, and that Burmese civilians should not be allowed to become fourth-class nationals in their own land. There are even proposals that the assets of officials should be made public, as in Sichuan. These demands aroused the anger of Burmese patriots, saying that these scholars were all Sichuan slaves, and that the next time the Sichuan army had a war with Burma, these people would definitely lead the way for the Ming army.

"I see." After Mu Tianbo heard it, he thought that the owner of the store wanted him to leave the store: "I understand, I will move away, and I will never implicate the boss and other customers in the store." ”

"No, no, no." The shopkeeper knew that Mu Tianbo had misunderstood, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Little Lao'er just wants to invite the guest officer to stand in front of the shop." Seeing that there were Chinese living in this shop, the government would immediately send a large number of arresters to protect the shop, arrest those who disturbed the sleeping of the guest officials, and beat them severely. ”

"What about before the government's arrest arrives?" Mu Tianbo was still a little uneasy, just now he obviously heard the boss say very clearly, the group of people outside the inn were patriots from Burma, and the most hated was the Burmese traitor who led the way for the Ming army: "Should I go out with a knife in order to defend myself?" ”

"No, of course, no one cares if you hold a knife, but as long as you show this authentic Yunnan accent, it's fine." The shopkeeper said with confidence: "After hearing your Yunnan dialect, those patriots will come up to you with a smile and greet you in Chinese: Friends from Kunming, can I practice my Chinese with you?" ”

……

Now, Mu Tianbo, who had fled from Burma to China with great difficulty, was sitting in the reception room of King Pingxi, ready to explain to the other party why he had to come to Guangxi again after arriving in Yunnan.
