Chapter 1109 Myanmar Aftermath
Jiayuguan is located in the middle of a narrow valley in the western part of Shaanxi Province. The walls on both sides of the city pass through the desert Gobi, connect the Heishan Shangwai Great Wall in the north, and the world's No. 1 pier in the south, and is the westernmost gate at the Ming Great Wall. (Shaanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty included Gansu Province)
Jiayuguan is located at the throat of Hexi. It has a dangerous terrain, majestic architecture, and magnificent momentum. It is a key defense area in the western Ming Dynasty and ensures the safety of the Hexi region. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent the Mongols from moving south.
At this time, the Hexi General's Mansion in the city was heavily guarded, with three steps and five steps, and there were soldiers of Yulin Army who were on duty and patrolling.
Since Zhu Cilang's imperial lord arrived at Jiayuguan, the general's mansion has been requisitioned as the emperor's temporary palace. Without special permission, no one is allowed to enter!
Zhu Cixuan sternly rejected the red tape of the Hexi general. After arriving at Jiayuguan, he immediately summoned all accompanying generals and officials to discuss the matter.
The second day after stationed in Jiayuguan, Prince Zhu Hebi rushed to the Myanmar war report here.
Zhu Cixuan raised the battle report in his hand and said to the ministers: "You guys, I just received the battle report from Myanmar today. The soldiers on the front line fulfilled their mission and wiped out Myanmar in one fell swoop and captured the king and ministers of Myanmar!"
The ministers present immediately cooperated and showed an excited expression. Xu Mingwu was even more excited. His joy could not be suppressed and he stretched out his head to see the battle report.
Zhu Cixuan saw his expression and waved to him: "Take it and read it!"
"I received the order!" Xu Mingwu was overjoyed and took the battle report and recited it in public with emotion, making it like a storyteller.
In the battle report, Xu Qingshan reported to Zhu Ciyang about their capture of this battle and the number of prisoners. For the Ming Dynasty, this was a huge wealth, which not only could make up for the losses in the war, but also could serve as laborers.
These are the direct benefits brought by war, and more indirect grants cannot be measured by property. For example, there is only one obedient Siam country in the entire Indochina Peninsula, and no one can threaten the border of the Ming Dynasty in the future!
After hearing the content of the battle report, Zhao Shixiang immediately stood up and flattered Zhu Cixuan: "Your Majesty, after the two armies of our country, we will eventually destroy the Kingdom of Burma, which does not recognize the power of heaven. This is Your Majesty's wise decision and the soldiers are united. I am congratulating Your Majesty on your behalf and congratulating me on such achievements in the Ming Dynasty!"
Then, other ministers expressed their joy like Zhao Shixiang.
King Zhu Heji of Han shouted: "My Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more powerful, and who can compete in the world!"
His words aroused the excitement of the young generals, and Xu Mingwu was also deeply proud, glad that he had descended to such a powerful empire and witnessed the prosperity of China!
Zhu Cilang signaled the ministers to calm down, holding another military newspaper in his hand and said, "This is a report from the chieftains of the Meng tribes of Pingyang Hou Xu Qingshan, who passed away from the Myanmar tribes. He said, "The Dongshu Dynasty, Mangbai, did not serve as the Ming Dynasty, was tyrannical and unrighteous, could not be the masters of the slaves and others. He was defeated by himself, and the tribes were scattered and did not know where to go. The slaves and others had their own land. They decided to return to the emperor, willing to give them mercy and beg for Han officials... Hahaha!"
After saying that, Zhu Cilang laughed three times and felt refreshed.
The Touo Dynasty in history was destroyed by the Meng tribe. Now the tribe with the most potential in Myanmar in the future is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. How could he not be happy?
Zhu Cilang did not wait for the ministers to contact him and continued, "Since the Meng tribes have begged this way, if I refuse them, it would be impossible to explain. Therefore, I decided to agree to their request, and report this matter to the temple and the temple, and the edict to the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hanlin Academy official who accompanied him replied: "Your Majesty, the Dongyu Dynasty has destroyed the country. The Myanmar tribes have submitted a request to join the Ming Dynasty. I suggest that you follow Japan and Annan and set up prefectures in Myanmar to make them the land of the Ming Dynasty forever!"
Zhu Cilang did not respond immediately, but asked the other officials what they meant.
The emperor was so happy that the ministers did not understand what he meant, so they expressed their support for the establishment of Myanmar Province.
The joy on Zhu Cilang's face was unconcealed. In the battle against Myanmar, he did not just teach Myanmar a lesson and seize its land.
More importantly, after the Ming Dynasty occupied Myanmar, it opened up a land channel to the Indian Ocean. There was no need to detour the Malacca Strait to enter the Indian Ocean, and it could directly face the Mughal Empire!
In addition to the two battle reports, Xu Qingshan submitted a separate memorial to report on the situation of the Mughal Empire.
Just when the conflict broke out in Ming and Myanmar, the Mughal Empire was also not idle and embarked on the journey of external expansion. Their first goal was the Kingdom of Ahon, the neighbors in the west.
In the 19th year of Tianwu, the deputy king of Bangladesh of the Mughal Dynasty in India commanded three armies to expedition Gargon, the capital of the Ahon Kingdom.
The Ahon Kingdom is located between the Mughal Empire and Myanmar. The San's military operation is obviously to go westward to the Indochina Peninsula and compete with the Ming Dynasty!
It was similar to the situation encountered by the Ming Dynasty's Burmese army. When the Mughal army was in a fierce offensive, it happened that the rainy season was approaching and supply was difficult, so it had to retreat. The Ahon Kingdom was able to breathe, reorganize the attack and regain the capital Gargon. Finally, the two countries signed a contract and the Mughal army withdrew.
In his memorial, Xu Qingshan asked for instructions that the Ahong Kingdom was a kingdom established by the Dai people in Yunnan. Next, he would still support them since ancient times as a buffer zone between the Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire.
Xu Qingshan did not meddle in other people's business to find a sense of existence, but when the Ah Hong Kingdom learned that the Ming Dynasty had conquered Myanmar, he found that he was caught between the two empires and was frightened all day long, so he sent an envoy to Dongxu City to meet Xu Qingshan, hoping to test the Ming Dynasty's attitude.
In fact, there is nothing to test. The Ming Dynasty was consistent in dealing with territorial issues, clear and tough.
Since it was a kingdom built by the Dai people, it was one of our own people. There was no need to keep it out of the Ming Dynasty, and it had to provide assistance!
King Zhu Heqi of Han wanted to find a sense of existence, so he asked: "Father, how should the Burmese King Mangbai deal with it?"
Zhu Cilang said: "The old rules are sent to Xingguo Mine, and the labor reform will be carried out for ten years."
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Cixuan ordered the Burmese prisoners of war to be exiled to Hami.
It seemed that Emperor Zhu intended to vent his anger and to avenge the great revenge of the water, and deliberately let the Burmese people in the tropical rainforest area taste the taste of more than ten degrees below zero in the snow.
I just don’t know whether these Burmese people were excited to see the heavy snow for the first time when they saw the scene of heavy snow, or whether they missed the warmth of their hometown...
Then, Zhu Cilang drafted an edict on rewarding merits, and issued an edict to confer the founding Duke's contributions and outstanding military achievements as the founding Duke's mansion and a sweat-blooded horse...
In February of the 20th year of Tianwu, the crown prince Zhu Heyi Emperor, who was in Nanjing, issued an edict to the world, in addition to the name of Myanmar, the province of Myanmar, and the founding Duke Xu Qingshan temporarily led the position of Grand Governor of the Southern Army, stationed in Myanmar, and promoted Deputy General Ma Xianglin to Deputy General, and Duke of Qian Mu Tianbo transferred to Annan...
