The Ming army won a great victory, as expected.

In this battle, more than 9,000 of Talon's 50,000 elites were poisoned, more than 8,000 fled, more than 9,000 surrendered, and the rest were all killed.

The Ming army, on the other hand, suffered only more than 3,000 casualties.

On top of that, Qin Shuhuai captured Ta Long, as well as several important Dongwu ministers.

In this way, the Talung regime will officially die in Dong U.

However, the work of the Ming army is far from over, and now there are still many remnants of Ta Long in Dong Wu, and the uprising in the Ava area is in full swing, if you want Dong Wu to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in a complete state posture, I am afraid that you will have to support a new regime, and then exterminate his Long Yu party, and then quell the people's rebellion.

Given that the uprising of the Awa Shan people was caused by the rebellion against Ta Long's relocation of the capital, and now that Ta Long has been captured and the regime has collapsed, the relocation of the capital will naturally be canceled, then the theoretical basis for their uprising no longer exists - the next main thing is to cancel a series of policies to oppress the Shan and Mon ethnic groups in order to quell the people's grievances.

In addition, for the riots in the Ava region, don't forget that a large number of the initiators are the White Lotus Sect, they are not only instigators and organizers, but Qin Shuhuai has provided them with a lot of silver and weapons, so of course it is easy to become the leader of the rebel army, at least they can mix with the ruling faction.

From this point of view, as long as Qin Shuhuai gave an order, I believe that most of the leaders were willing to quell the rebellion, after all, on the one hand, they were brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect and did not dare to disobey the decree, and on the other hand, they knew better than anyone the strength of the Ming army - especially after Qin Shuhuai easily defeated him.

Even if a rebel leader who already held a certain amount of power tasted the sweetness of power and was unwilling to disband his subordinates, the Ming army and the newly supported regime would be able to defeat them easily.

So the Ava riot is not a cause for concern.

As for the remnants of Talon's party, in fact, there are not many descendants.

The most elite had been wiped out by Qin Shuhuai, and now there were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under Khan Lida in the Ava region, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses preparing to resist Li Dingguo in the Xidang River, and 30,000 troops in the north.

But these troops are all Ahmudan, most of them are not Burmese, after the death of Talong, when the new regime comes to recruit peace and gives favorable terms, will these Ahmudan continue to work for his Longyu party?

Qin Shuhuai believes that people should not be so cheap.

I'm here to give you back your freedom, so that you have the land to plant, you can plough the land, you have to live with dignity, so that you don't have to be slaves for generations, you don't have to tattoo your forehead, and you still have to help those old masters who oppress you to beat me?

Well, if there are really people who are cheap to the bone and have to be dogs, then Qin Shuhuai doesn't mind sending them to reunite with their masters.

All in all, Qin Shuhuai believed that more than 40,000 elite Ming troops were sitting in Dongwu, and it was impossible to pacify this small country.

The next question is to prop up the new regime.

Judging from the information provided by Ma Bo, at present, in Dongwu, in addition to Tarung, the most prestigious is Talung's son Pundali.

Qin Shuhuai has heard of Ping Dali, in history he is the next king of Burma, after the king of Talong, Burma gradually declined in his hands, it can be seen that his level of governance is not high, let him govern is not a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty.

However, Pindari is Talong's son after all, and if he is allowed to come to power, he may rebel in the future, and this alone is not suitable.

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate for a while, so Qin Shuhuai had to put it aside for the time being, and then ordered the army to go to Bagu and enter the royal capital first.

After cleaning the battlefield, the Ming army rested in place for the night, and then went north to Bago the next day.

At this time, the main force of Dongwu was lost, and no force dared to stop the Ming army, even if there was a diehard loyalist of Ta Long, considering that Ta Long was in the hands of the Ming army, he would never dare to act rashly.

The army marched all the way, and after two days of marching reached Bago.

At this time, the gate of the capital of the king of Bago was opened, and all the ministers and nobles of the Dongwu Dynasty who stayed in Bago came to the gate of the city to welcome the army of the "Heavenly Empire" into the city.

When the Ming army entered the city, everyone knelt down in unison, and the scene was silent, only the footsteps of the conquerors entering the city echoed, so neat, majestic and proud.

When he marched to the gate of the palace, a man suddenly came, holding something similar to a seal in both hands, kneeling at the door, saying something in Dongwu language.

Ma Bo translated with Qin Shuhuai.

"This man's name is Manligu, and he is a minister in charge of the interior. On behalf of all the officials, he came to present the seal of King Talong to the Ming Dynasty to show his submission to the Ming Dynasty and apologize to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Qin Shuhuai nodded, let Lai San'er take the seal, and then entered the palace.

The Bago Palace is full of exotic customs, so Qin Shuhuai took Lai San'er and others around, which can be regarded as a tourist.

Then, after lunch, he gathered everyone to discuss the choice of the new king of Dong Wu.

At that time, Dongwu was still stable under Talon's power politics, so there were not many people with high prestige who could control the whole country.

Even if there is, it is a Burmese ethnic group, and they are all very close to Talon, which is naturally not possible.

Everyone thought about it, and since there was no suitable one, they simply chose the obedient one.

Among the rebel army of the Ava Shan tribe, there are many Shan leaders who have joined the White Lotus Sect, so choose one of them.

Ma Bo quickly recommended a candidate, his name was Du Libai, who joined the White Lotus Sect at an early age, and is currently the leader of the largest rebel army in the Ava region, with about 5,000 men under his command.

The crowd was unanimous.

Anyway, there is a Ming army in charge, and whoever is the king can be the king.

Qin Shuhuai also had no opinion, because it was impossible for him to want to alleviate the national contradictions in Dongwu and ensure that this person named Du Libai could stay in power forever.

I can't keep busy with my own family's affairs, and I'm still in charge of your family's affairs?

Anyway, what he wants is that at the upcoming ceremony, Dong Wu will come to congratulate him respectfully.

During this period, he could ask Du Libai to implement some policies to ease ethnic contradictions, so as to calm the discontent in Dongwu as much as possible, but he would also continue to let the Ming army garrison again, and if anyone dared to resist, he would suppress it immediately.

As for after the ceremony?

I care so much about you, and you can solve your own contradictions, which is called "non-interference in internal affairs".

The matter was settled.

The leader of the rebel army called Dulibai, who was far away in Ava, still does not know that he secretly ran out of Ava to Bosheng Harbor as a member of the Awa Harbor, got on a Dutch ship and became a crew member, and then went to the coast of Fujian in the Ming Kingdom, and was fooled by several Ming people to go to Tianjin with a lot of silver and join the White Lotus Sect. A year and a half later, he returned to his homeland, and before he could toss much, he became the king of Dongwu.

This plot, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to do it in his dreams.

......

Subsequently, Qin Shuhuai immediately sent people to persuade the more than 10,000 Wu soldiers stationed in the Xidang River to surrender, so as to facilitate Li Dingguo to cross the river smoothly and join him.

But not long after he gave the order, someone from outside came to report that the general of the Dongwu army stationed in the Xidang River had returned with soldiers and horses.

But all his soldiers discarded their weapons, took off their armor, and came to surrender.

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said to Meng Wei, "It's really a handsome man who knows the times everywhere! Meng Wei, you go and deal with it, these soldiers are all disorganized and incorporated into our army first, and after establishing rules for them, go back and choose some reliable Shan people to command, as for the generals who come to surrender, reward money, reward the house, and reward the beauties, and set a good example for other Dongwu generals." ”

Meng Wei said with a smile, "Grandpa Guo is thoughtful, and his subordinates will do it." ”

Two days later, Li Dingguo's army of nearly 30,000 successfully crossed the Xidang River and arrived at the capital of Bago Wang.

As soon as Li Dingguo saw Qin Shuhuai, he said, "Grandpa Guo, I was anxious when I received Ta Long with 50,000 troops to fight you to the death. I thought I would cross the river as soon as possible to help you, but I didn't expect to see the withdrawal of troops on the other side as soon as I arrived at the river, and then I heard that King Talong had been captured alive by Grandpa Guo! Hehe, Dingguo sighed at that time, he still didn't know enough about Grandpa Guo! With Grandpa Guo's means, why should he be afraid of Talong's 50,000 troops?"

Qin Shuhuai laughed, "When will Brother Dingguo learn to slap horses?" ”

Li Dingguo followed with a smile, "Dingguo may not be able to say anything from others, but in front of Grandpa Guo, Dingguo is not afraid of being said to be sloppy." Anyway, I'm telling the truth, if Grandpa Guo thinks it's a sycophant, then Dingguo will admit it. ”

The two laughed.

Then, Qin Shuhuai said again, "Dingguo, go back and find a strong general, and let him take 20,000 soldiers to Ava." Bengong planned to have people go and persuade the old tribe of Taron on the Ava side to surrender Khanlida. To persuade him to surrender, it is still necessary to maintain a little deterrence, and if he is stubborn, then hit him first. ”

Li Dingguo said, "It is said that there are 20,000 soldiers and horses on Khanlida's side, and it is possible that the 30,000 Ukrainian troops in the north may also join forces with him, so there are many uncertain factors." According to the opinion of his subordinates, it is better for his subordinates to personally lead the troops to persuade them to surrender, so that they can respond to the situation at any time. ”

Qin Shuhuai said, "Dingguo, my father knows that you are more thoughtful than others, but you still don't go." My father still has a lot to explain to you. ”

Usually, Qin Shuhuai and Li Dingguo don't have many opportunities to stay together, so Qin Shuhuai cherishes the present time very much, so that he can talk to Li Dingguo about his thoughts on the country and the future.

He knew very well that after the pacification of Dongwu, it was the great ceremony of the coming dynasty of all nations that Chongzhen had in mind, and a brand-new, rich and powerful Ming Dynasty would be truly displayed in front of the world.

And he will also return to the original time and space.

Therefore, let's talk about it one more time, and embellish some of the ways of governing the country and historical lessons of later generations to tell Li Dingguo and Chongzhen in an unobtrusive way, no matter whether they can listen to it or not, even if it is a reference.

......

The task of persuading Khan Lida to surrender fell to the Mangligu who had come to offer the king's seal before, and at the same time, He Kegang led 20,000 Ming troops to escort him.

There was no surprise, and more than half a month later, news came from Ava that General Hanlida had chosen to surrender.

At the same time, the Dongwu generals in the north also sent envoys to discuss the surrender. However, the north side put forward a lot of demands, dozens of articles, to sum up, in fact, except for the nominal submission, the king of Dongwu was not allowed to interfere in other things, and even taxes would not be paid.

It is a bit similar to the later autonomous state of Myanmar.

However, Qin Shuhuai smiled and agreed with all of them.

According to him, what is it about him?

You want to stand on your own as the king of the land in the north of Dongwu, is it possible that I still have to help you maintain the unity of the country?

Think beautifully!

After a few more days, Du Libai arrived in the royal capital of Bagu.

When Qin Shuhuai told him that he was going to be the king of Dongwu, this guy's eyes almost fell off.

Of course, now he is only a nominal king, and if he wants to really take power, it must be officially canonized by the Ming Emperor - this highly symbolic etiquette cannot be saved.

Subsequently, a new policy was implemented to alleviate the contradictions between the Dongwu people. Qin Shuhuai put forward a general outline, four words: ethnic equality.

He didn't bother to care about the rest, so let Du Libai discuss it with the minister himself.

After the trivial things were done, the time had come to May of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

Qin Shuhuai decided that the army would stay behind and continue to help Du Libai stabilize his power, and he and some of the main generals set off for China.
