Chapter 34 feels like there are some problems with the writing. The second half has been revised. You can take a look again.
——
Donggu, Bago City.
King Talong sat on the throne and listened to the edict issued by the Ming Emperor.
When he heard that 500,000 troops were sent for the conquest, he couldn't help but frowned, with a distressed look on his face.
The Taungoo in this time and space is not as powerful as the original time and space.
In fact, although they have always been called Sanxuan, Liuwei, Sanxuan and Liuwei, the Sanxuan was basically under the control of the Ming Dynasty, and the one that was out of control was Liuwei.
It is true that the Toungoo Dynasty under Mang Yinglong, the former Myanmar Xuanwei Division, did penetrate Liuwei at its peak.
But soon, they directly faced the overlord of Southeast Asia - the Luzon Governor's Palace.
However, at that time, Luzon had not completely completed the unification of Southeast Asia, and even the Japanese country was still in the process of conquering it. Therefore, it did not directly send troops to conquer, but provided support to the remaining Xuanweisi.
This resulted in the Xuanwei Department of Laos, the Xuanwei Department of Cheche, the Xuanwei Department of Babai Dadian, as well as the native officials of Siam Kingdom and Menggen Prefecture. They had obviously been beaten by the Toungoo Dynasty. The three Xuanwei Departments He Yifu has lost most of its territory, and Siam has also lost troops and generals. However, relying on the support of Luzon, they fought with them, and with the subsequent civil strife in the Toungoo Dynasty, they even recovered large areas of territory one after another.
However, although the territory was restored, they were disappointed because the Ming Dynasty never sent troops to help them. The three Xuanweisi and the native officials of the first government successively severed tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty and turned to the embrace of the Luzon Governor's Palace.
So in essence, the current Toungoo Dynasty controls the Mubang Xuanwei Department, Mengyang Xuanwei Department, and the Myanmar Xuanwei Department in the Liuwei Dynasty. Because the tribute was stopped during the Yongle and Xuande years, And among the three comforts who were kicked out of Jiuwei, Diwu Laxuanweisi was not as powerful as the original time and space.
And now Taungoo, under the rule of King Long, is also focused on self-cultivation.
As for harassing the borders of the Ming Dynasty, this is true. Like the Oara and Tatars in the north, they were full of ambition and desire in the face of the prosperous Ming Dynasty.
But to King Long's surprise, this time he was kicked against the iron plate - Zhu Changxun had already been eyeing the land of Six Comforts and had always wanted to take it back, but now he was simply giving him excuses, and the army directly came. coming.
This time it was his turn to be King Long Ma Zhao.
His face was gloomy, and he asked the minister standing below:
"Everyone, what should we do if the Ming Dynasty sends 500,000 troops to attack?"
There was a burst of whispers below. There was no doubt that Ming's army of half a million people was very oppressive.
Even though the Toungoo Dynasty fought in various places, with an army of 300,000 at every turn, it was basically the strength of the whole country.
This move by Ming Dynasty has already exceeded their overall military strength. How can this not be terrifying?
Some ministers have expressed their intention to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in order to gain peace.
However, it was obvious that such an opinion was not in line with King Long's wishes. After all, when they attacked Liuwei, they essentially didn't take Daming seriously. They even repeatedly harassed the borders of the Ming Dynasty. Although once the Ming Dynasty reacted, they would lose more and win less, but there was no way to eradicate them. They were always in a stalemate. Naturally, they were unwilling to surrender in his generation.
His King Long's eyes wandered among the ministers, but most of the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly into his eyes. Apparently, they were also thinking what the minister was thinking.
This made King Long a little disappointed.
Is there no one available at this time?
"Your Majesty, who is leading the army? Is it Chen Guogong Yan Shizhao?"
Such a voice suddenly came from the team, and a courtier stood up and asked.
For a moment, the entire court's eyes were focused on Prince Long. An army of half a million people is already under extreme pressure. If they are led by this famous general again, then they really have no hope. Even in the south of the Ming Dynasty, people heard a lot about Chen Guogong's achievements.
"No." King Talong said: "The general leading the army this time is named Yang Hao."
For a moment, everyone in the court breathed a sigh of relief.
The minister relaxed a little after hearing this, with a smile on his face and said:
"In this way, the Ming army of five hundred thousand will have nothing to fear."
The identity of this minister is not simple. He is not only the prime minister of the Toungoo Dynasty, he was also a subject of the Ming Dynasty and a minor official in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.
Chieftains in the southwest have always had the habit of hiring Han staff to deal with the Ming Dynasty. They are familiar with various situations in the Ming Dynasty, so they can often occupy high positions. People such as Chen An, Yue Feng and others have been reused.
And this prime minister was once an official in the southern border of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, and King Long couldn't help but ask:
"Why shouldn't we be afraid? This is an army of half a million people!"
"Your Majesty, please listen to my analysis."
The prime minister was confident:
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are said to be 500,000, but the actual number should be close to 300,000, and most of them are soldiers from the Southern Border Guards. Unlike the northern border army, except for a few border troops, the southern army is not very powerful. , the Beijing army is also extremely corrupt, and among them there are probably only 60,000 Yunnan frontier troops with fighting strength."
"The remaining troops are weak in combat power and fear the enemy like tigers. If they fight, it will even be counterproductive."
"And our army has been fighting in the north and south for decades, and our 300,000 soldiers are all brave. If we compare two to one, our army will be better than one."
"As for the generals of our dynasty, they are even better than Yang Hao in the south and north."
"If you face it head on, you will definitely win!"
After hearing this, King Talong couldn't help but nod.
No matter what the prime minister said is right or wrong, boosting morale now is the first priority. What's more, after all, he, King Long, has governed Taungu for many years. Now Taungu is prospering, so he naturally has his own arrogance.
Now the words of the prime minister have aroused all the pride in his heart, especially after seeing clearly that the entire army of the Ming Dynasty should only be around 300,000, he is no longer so afraid.
"What Ai Qing said is the way to seek for the country!"
He praised directly.
The other courtiers of the Toungoo Dynasty also gained some confidence due to this chicken blood, and seeing the king's support, they all praised in unison:
"The king is extremely wise, and our dynasty will surely be invincible!"
King Talong stood in front of the throne with an ambitious smile on his face.
In July of the eleventh year of Wuxing.
The Donggu Dynasty issued an edict to refute the Ming Dynasty's edict, announcing that "except for the eight passes and two guards in Yunnan, everything is my old land", "the Ming Dynasty is the country of the suzerain, but does not have the virtue of the suzerain" and "however you entered our border, Taungoo "will never succumb to tyranny".
Then all the 300,000 troops in Dongyu were mobilized to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
