If the official’s words are deceitful, you can really believe them. That. . .
Although the white officials shout about Zhongjin's patriotism and benevolence every day, when they are really needed, if one out of ten can do it, then the dynasty will not be extinct so easily.
Instigated by the crisis of the Ming Dynasty and their own interests, countless officials began to ask Emperor Donghu. King Talong had to agree with the opinions of the officials.
It’s not that he wants me to do this, it’s that he has to do it.
Anabilon was a monarch with great talent and foresight.
In the 34th year of Wanli, King Liangyuan died on his way back after winning the war to unify Shan State, and his son Anabilong succeeded to the throne.
At this time, the Toungoo Dynasty controlled half of Myanmar, most of Upper Myanmar and Shan State. At this time, the feudal lords of Pyaoi and Toungoo were unable to separate themselves. Part of the southern region was included in the sphere of influence of the Ayutthaya dynasty of Siam, and Din Yin fell into the hands of the Portuguese.
But Anabilon was full of confidence because his strength was far superior to any single force in the south.
He actively prepared for war, expanded his strength, and organized and integrated all the forces that had not been integrated when King Liangyuan was alive. In October of the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, the army set out to attack Piaimai, and defeated Banshi in less than a year. About another year later, troops were sent to unify Taungoo.
In the 40th year of Wanli, Anabilong received news that the Portuguese Ding Yinhou Esinga, who occupied Ding Yin, had conquered Taungu City by water in conjunction with Motamahou Pinyadela who marched by land. Dongyu Hou Na Xin Nang's son died in the battle, and he, his two concubines, and more than a dozen personal servants were captured by the enemy. After Anabilon got the news, he immediately led his army to attack Din Yin.
The Burmese army advanced by land and water and surrounded the city. During the siege, the Portuguese soldiers were well prepared and kept pouring resin glue, pepper spray and throwing bombs from the top of the city, causing the Burmese army to suffer heavy casualties. Several sieges failed, and Ozinga held on even more firmly. .
Then Anabilon asked the soldiers to continue to attack the city to attract the attention of the defenders, and to dig tunnels towards the city wall on the other hand. The tunnel was dug under the city wall, and the soldiers inside used ropes to pull down the wooden fence posts, leaving a large gap in the city wall. At Anabilon's order, elephant soldiers and horse soldiers swarmed in from the gap and occupied the whole city in one fell swoop.
After the city was captured, Ezinga underwent a rigorous interrogation and was eventually executed according to the punishment for heretics. On March 28, the 41st year of Wanli, Exinga was dragged to the city center, and in front of the people of Dingyin City, he was impaled with an iron hammer and died.
After Exinga's death, Motamahou, who marched with him, was helpless and voluntarily surrendered. He then further regained the territory of Lower Burma occupied by Ayutthaya, and even captured part of Ayutthaya's territory.
Different from the superficial unification achieved by military conquest during the Mang Yingli period, his unification was based on economic revival and a relatively solid popular base. This unification of Myanmar also laid the foundation for future reforms during the reign of King Thalong.
During Anabilon's reign, he regained all the territory originally owned by Lower Tunghu, finally ending the division since the end of the 16th century, and most of Tunghu's areas were once again unified.
He is smart and ambitious, but he is unlucky.
Some people died, but not completely...
