Chapter 538: The success of destroying Myanmar and the gift of prisoners

"Run! Kill all the people of Dongyu!"

The Ming army here in Mubang also waited for the Burmese people, and thus the morale was greatly boosted.

The Ming army guards who were already hungry and could not even have elephant meat could guarantee that they would have every day. They seemed to have forgotten their hunger. Under the stimulation of adrenaline, they jumped out of their positions one by one, like tigers going down the mountain, and chopped them when they saw the Burmese soldiers.

The main general Qin Bangping even shouted the slogan of killing all the people of Dongxu.

The siege and fighting for several months have caused the Ming army officers and soldiers such as Qin Bangping to form a bloody feud with the Burmese soldiers.

After all, most officers and soldiers in armies like the White Petal Bing are clan-related.

The Myanmar soldiers have caused them such great casualties, and their hatred for Myanmar has long been overwhelmed.

Therefore, it is impossible to expect them to be wiser and versatile to the Burmese people now.

Qin Bangping also knows people like him best. He knows that no reward is useful now. What they want most is to make these soldiers under his command take revenge.

So, he shouted such a slogan.

The Burmese soldiers naturally fled out of the mountains as if they were collapsed and fell like mountains.

Even because they ran too fast, countless Burmese soldiers trampled on each other and died, and some of them rolled into the surging rivers.

After Yang Zhan's side led his horse to the shore, the Soren soldiers brought by him also rushed into the Myanmar camp directly on the wide area along the river.

These Sauron soldiers showed their powerful cavalry and shooting ability, and kept pulling out heavy bows immediately. The arrows in their hands seemed to have eyes, and they shot a Burmese soldier as soon as they left the bowstring.

The Burmese soldiers could only escape frantically without any intention of fighting.

When King Long knew that the Ming army reinforcements arrived, he knew that his defeat was decided, so he had to rush back to Lashio first.

But soon, the Ming army, who came from Manjie, where Mubang and Qin Liangyu were stationed, surrounded Lashio.

These Ming troops were like crazy, slaughtering the Burmese villages around Lashio, making no living natives here within a few days.

Moreover, the Ming army, which had only hatred for the Burmese, was also very active when attacking Lashio City.

Qin Bangping even personally participated in the siege as the Duke of the State.

There are also the southwest local soldiers who only want to avenge their relatives and friends and are willing to be suicide squads, carrying explosives to explode Lashio City.

King Talong looked at the outer city of Lashio that was soon captured and was very desperate.

Naturally, he could no longer expect any reinforcements from the south, because the Ming Navy Marines had already launched a massive earth-reform movement in southern Myanmar, which made the Burmese people in the south no longer loyal to him.

King Talong is now like Nurhaci in the past, and he began to slash his concubines, daughters and daughters-in-laws frantically. He was unwilling to fall into the hands of the Ming army with women who had anything to do with him.

These concubines and princesses from Myanmar fled and screamed.

But at this time, his wife and the queen hugged King Long tightly and advised: "Your Majesty, don't kill them! Let them be stolen by the Ming army, and maybe they can continue to live because of their beauty!"

"No! They are mine, and they cannot fall into the hands of the Ming army!"

King Long roared angrily.

However, at this time, the Ming army had already rushed in and controlled King Talong, his queen, princess, and a large number of princes and nobles.

Of course, we cannot expect these chieftain soldiers from the southwest of the Ming Dynasty to have any disciplines with the Soren soldiers from outside the pass.

These Burmese nobles who moved from Awa to Lashio, as well as the wealthy merchants and civilians who came with them, were all retaliated by them.

I don’t know how many Burmese concubines and princesses were, like the Song Dynasty emperors in history, the valley road broke and died, and even on the way to being captured and returned to the Ming Dynasty, they were secretly married.

The property was naturally looted by the Ming army.

Even King Long himself was ordered to wear naked and put on sheep's clothing, and was led into the capital by the Ming army like a sheep.

This is a ceremony that the Ministry of Rites requires troops fighting abroad to have when they return in triumph, namely the ceremony of leading the sheep.

In order to make the Emperor of Ming and his people see the appearance of the outer monarch conquering, he is therefore honored to be the people of Ming.

...

When King Long was led into the capital, there were already thousands of people.

The people in the city cheered, and they were all overjoyed.

Because this not only means that the Ming Dynasty will eventually destroy Myanmar, it will expand its territory again, but also means that the war coupons they purchased will appreciate again.

Both national fortune and personal fortune will appreciate, and no one is unhappy.

Even Qin Liangyu and Qin Bangping, the officers and soldiers who fought against Myanmar, were happy.

Although they paid a great price, hundreds of veterans and soldiers of war will always be buried in Myanmar, they have been greatly satisfied this time, including spiritually.

Because Bi Ziyan was the prime minister and devoted himself to preaching the supremacy of Chinese civilization, they felt extremely proud after the destruction of Myanmar, and believed that it promoted civilization and eliminated barbarism.

Especially when they saw that the people warmly welcomed them, they believed more that they were doing a just thing.

...

Zhu Youxiao decided to come out in person to greet the army that returned triumphantly.

At this time, he was standing outside Yongdingmen Railway Station, waiting for Qin Liangyu to get off the bus.

"Old minister pays homage to Your Majesty!"

"Please get up, my dear!"

Zhu You proofreaded the southwest chieftains to use open conspiracy.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu was not dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao, although she knew that the emperor intended to consume her white-rod soldiers by using the matter of expedition to Myanmar.

Even when Zhu Youxiao came to greet her in person, her eyes were still moved and moist.

Because at least the emperor did not take despicable measures against her and her Shigutu, and still spared no effort to send reinforcements.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Liangyu did not dare to make a contribution next time. He honestly pushed all the contributions of the entire Battle of Myanmar to Zhu Youxiao, saying that it was all up to Emperor Zhu Youxiao to plan well thousands of miles away.

Zhu Youxiao naturally accepted it calmly, but could not express humility.

After all, he is the emperor, not the general.

He had to accumulate military prestige in this way.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao himself knew that the success of this battle to destroy Myanmar was not his own contribution.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao needed to use the means of giving in favor to differentiate and disintegrate the southwestern chieftains.

Therefore, next, Zhu Youxiao spared no effort to reward individuals who performed bravely in the Battle of Myanmar.

Whether this man is a nobleman of the chieftains or a serf.

Zhu Youxiao directly promoted these people to upstarts in the court.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao directly conferred two dukes, five marquises, twelve nephews, and more than 30 chieftains for this battle to destroy Myanmar. He made his life guard in various mountainous areas of Myanmar.

These places will naturally become more difficult to be unified and independent in the future.

In the past, the backbone of the chieftains of the southwest were also transferred to Myanmar to serve as new chieftains, which naturally helped the imperial court to control the southwest.

Among them, the two Dukes, except that Qin Bangping was named Duke Yi Guo Shu Mu Bang, was named Duke Rui Guo, who was the Duke of Lashio for his contribution to Qin Liangyu and Qin Bangping's destruction of Myanmar.

In this way, the Qin family is a direct family of the Three Kingdoms Dukes, which is even more brilliant than the former Xu Da family.

Zhu Youxiao also issued an order to set up the "Qin Family Army" number, which is the new number of the Imperial Army.

Of course, these glory is understandable to the Qin family, and no one envies them, because if you want to get these glory, you will lose more than half of your direct elites.

After a great reward, it is the ceremony of offering prisoners.

When Qin Liangyu held King Talong, who was wearing sheepskin, was escorted by Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting upright on the Meridian Gate, asked the Three Justices to read out his crimes and the decision to be executed.
