As soon as Mang Yingli finished speaking, his brother-in-law, Marquis Taungyu of Burma, ran in in a panic and cried, "Your Majesty, Taungyu has been captured!"
After hearing this, Mang Yingli couldn't help but be startled, and then clenched his fists.
Peng!
As an overlord, Mang Yingli was never willing to admit defeat, nor was he willing to accept the fact that he was so bullied by the Ming army.
Therefore, his heart was burning, but he could not vent it. He had no choice but to overturn a nanmu table in front of him: "Damn it!"
"How many Ming troops are coming from the south?"
After overturning the table, Mang Yingli calmed down a little, and then asked about Pahe and Dongyuhou.
Dongxu Hou replied first: "There are no less than ten thousand cavalry, warnings are everywhere, thick smoke is everywhere, and the artillery is sharp and the horses are strong, our elephant soldiers cannot catch up or stop them."
"It's about this number. Your Majesty, we'd better bring back the army from the north, otherwise the cave will be in danger!"
Mang Yingli is no longer in Ava, but has moved to Dongwu.
Because the two armies of Liu Wei and Deng Zilong from the north of Myanmar have approached Manmo and Longchuan respectively, and these two fortresses are getting closer and closer to Awa.
Therefore, Mang Yingli had to take shelter in Dongwu temporarily and let his uncle Meng Shao stay in Ava.
At this time, Pa He suggested that Mangyingli withdraw the northern army.
"The Ming army in the north is attacking Zhengsheng. Now that the army has withdrawn, the important towns of Manmo and Longchuan will no longer be able to block the Ming army in the south!"
Snapped!
After Mang Yingli said that, he punched the coffee table hard and looked outside with sharp eyes: "What a ferocious tiger tore out the heart!"
Then, Mang Yingli asked the traitor Dong Jiachen who had become his close ally: "Zhang Xiaolian, how could the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty still mobilize so many troops to come to our south? Didn't he liquidate the Zhang Juzheng you mentioned who offended the powerful officials and gentry in the world? "
Dong Jiachen also said solemnly: "It seems like this now!"
"I left the Ming Dynasty too early because my family was banned from the imperial examination for three generations. Many things are not very clear. But from my perspective, the amount of money and food spent by so many Ming troops in our south is definitely not a small amount. If As an upright official in the DPRK, I will never allow the emperor to spend so much money and launch a large-scale military expedition!"
Mang Yingli immediately grabbed the lapel of Dong Jiachen's clothes, gritted his teeth and said: "Aren't you saying that Zhang Juzheng offended the powerful officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty too much and wielded too much power, and neither the emperor nor the ministers in the court would tolerate him, but Zhang Siwei must When you become the queen of a country, do you want to confiscate its family, abolish its power to strengthen the country, and reduce its military strength?!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"I am willing to go to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of the king and inquire more carefully!"
Dong Jiachen spoke fearfully.
Mang Yingli said angrily: "What's the use of asking again?!"
As he spoke, Mang Yingli ordered: "Let's retreat to the mountainous area to the west first and wait for the opportunity!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"The Ming army probably won't be able to hold on for long. After March, the temperature here is not something they can bear. Since ancient times, no Han people from the north have been able to stay here for a long time. Zhu Yijun is so ruthless that the resentment among the soldiers in the country will already be boiling. When the weather gets hot, , they will have to go back, and then we will recuperate and recuperate, and we will not worry about not being able to take over the Central Plains again!"
Dong Jiachen immediately knelt on the ground and echoed Mang Yingli.
Pahe and Dongyuhou did not object.
then.
Mang Yingli withdrew to the mountainous area to the west.
As a result, when Mang Yingli waited in the mountains of western Burma and headed south, he saw that the entire Burma valley and plain area were covered with corpses, the towns and villages were all piles of rubble, and there was no sound of chickens crowing or dogs barking, and the fertile fields were just rice. All were trampled or submerged by the flood.
They also saw Ming army cavalry holding five-color Ming army flags posted on the city gates and wearing cloth-faced armors sweeping around chasing the Burmese and barbarians, and using long spears to force the Burmese and barbarian noble girls to dance for them as a show.
Among them, Mang Yingli wanted to bite his teeth when he saw this: "When did our Mang dynasty suffer such humiliation?!"
"Your Majesty is right. Since ancient times, the despicable Han people have always been cowardly, cruel at heart and charming at the outside, and they were only bullied by us. Now we are being bullied by the despicable Han people. This is against the will of heaven!"
"Therefore, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yijun will not be able to stay on the throne for a long time!"
"Therefore, Your Majesty, don't be too angry, lest you damage the Holy Body. In the future, when the Ming Dynasty undergoes great changes, we will be able to retaliate in kind, so that these despicable Han people can only become the King's private property, and can be taken away from them. "
Dong Jiachen said from the sidelines at this time.
Mang Yingli glanced at Dong Jiachen and smiled: "It would be great if there were more Han people like you!"
Dong Jiachen said with a flattering smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, there are actually many people like me. That's why I just said what I just said. Especially the nobles and nobles in the gentry pay more attention to whether the world is righteous. The reason why most of the gentry today are not The reason for overthrowing the unjust and tyrannical government is just because the situation is still unclear, but in fact the big families in the world have not followed the Jiangling New Deal for a long time, and if Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty really wants to blindly go against the grain, it will not be long!"
"As for me, if a Han monarch is unwilling to value scholars and practice benevolent government, and make the officials of our Dong family, who have been serving for generations, become the same as the common people, it is better to support the king to take over the Central Plains and become an emperor who unifies the world! "
Mang Yingli was an ambitious overlord, so even though he could tell that Dong Jiachen encouraged him to plot against China because his family was suppressed by the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty, he still felt good about what he heard, but his face became even uglier because of it. :
"It's just that all the young men and women have been slaughtered, and the fertile fields, dams, and city gates have been destroyed. We can no longer have the foundation to dominate the world!"
As he spoke, Mang Yingli said: "Your emperor is obviously a ruthless person and a far-sighted person, rather than a wise person. He knows that destroying my foundation is more useful than preaching benevolence at this time! No wonder you will be suppressed by him. I can’t hold my head up, I do look like a hero, I, Mang, seem to have provoked a terrible monarch!"
Pahe and Dongyuhou both nodded.
After hearing this, Dong Jiachen stopped agreeing with Mang Yingli. His eyes were full of bitterness, and he frowned seriously and started thinking.
Sudden.
Dong Jiachen said: "Your Majesty, I heard that miasma is raging in the Haka area, and I asked you to go there to select a few beautiful young women suffering from miasma to meet these Ming army camps as Han captives. At that time, maybe If you can spread the miasma among these Ming armies, even if you can't use the miasma to completely destroy these Ming armies, you can still make them have to return to the Central Plains early, and less damage to the foundation of our dynasty!"
"In this case, you may not be able to protect your own life. Once you get sick from miasma, it is not easy to survive, especially for a Han Chinese like you."
Mang Yingli said.
"A scholar dies for a confidant. Your Majesty has shown his kindness to me. At this time when our dynasty is at stake, how dare I steal my life? If I die for the sake of my Majesty's hegemony, it will be considered a well-deserved death!"
"What's more, as a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, how can we allow him to be arrogant and unruly?"
Dong Jiachen said.
After hearing this, Mang Yingli nodded: "Okay! What a good Dong Xiaolian, you are really courageous and resourceful. I will allow you to go to Haka as the prime minister of Zuo and accomplish this matter. If it is accomplished, I will make you a marquis. My sister will marry you!"
Dong Jiachen hurriedly thanked him on the ground: "I dare not insult the king's mission!"
