"Continuing the rise and fall" is something that Ming Dynasty has always liked to do, but Gao Pragmatic, the "great scholar of the world", has no interest in it - of course it can be done if it is beneficial, but if it is not beneficial...hehehehe, today's weather Not bad. Have you eaten it?
With his highly pragmatic eloquence, it was of course easy to deceive the two princesses and princes of Nanzhang Kingdom, who neither spoke Chinese fluently, so I won’t go into details.
In short, Gao's pragmatic attitude seems to still support them, but as for sending troops, they have to wait first.
What are you waiting for?
Oops, that's a lot. You think such a big thing must have the permission of the court, right? Even if the court gives permission, is it right to discuss how to fight this battle?
Whether to send troops from Yunnan alone, let Annan also send troops to help, or let Guangxi also shoulder part of the task of sending troops... This all needs to be carefully discussed.
Even if it's agreed upon, we still have to prepare for sending troops, right? Mobilize those armies, choose which generals, how much food needs to be collected and stored in advance, how much military pay needs to be prepared, how many routes to send troops, what are the goals, how to deal with unexpected changes in the battle situation... and so on.
All in all, there are so many things that can't be settled in a short while. We either don't fight, or if we want to fight, we have to ensure victory. We can't be like your father, who defeated Cambodia and died.
Even our great Ming Dynasty, a country of etiquette, cannot be punished without teaching. Maybe we will issue an edict to that white elephant king Mang Yinglong of Burma. Maybe this guy gave up after being severely scolded by the edict. , then maybe you siblings can return to the country without fighting, and maybe you, the sword master, can safely inherit your father's position...
Each of these reasons given by Gao Jingshi sounded very reasonable. The Dao family siblings were stunned for a while. It seemed that they were convinced by Gao Jingshi and felt that this matter really should not be rushed.
In fact, Gao Pangshi just used the three successful skills of an official who has been tested for a long time to do a few Tai Chi exercises. In fact, if he is now the governor of Yunnan and he is confident, he can decide on his own whether to go to war with Burma.
This is no joke, nor can it be said to be "provocative", because...even though Myanmar is so awesome now, in fact, in the political system of the Ming Dynasty, it was just a Xuanwei Department - the Myanmar Xuanwei Department that's it.
The Myanmar Military and Civilian Propaganda Department was a local administrative agency of the Ming Dynasty. It was one of the "Three Propaganda and Six Solace" established by the Ming Dynasty on the Yunnan border. It was established when Ming Dynasty became the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
In the first year of Yongle, the leader of Burma, Narada, sent an envoy to find Jian to pay tribute. He said that Mubang Mengyang was blocking the tribute road. In response, the superior edict was issued to establish the Burmese Xuanwei Department, with the Lota as the excuse. Xuan comfort envoy. In the fifth year of Xuande's reign, Myanmar's Xuanwei Mang received a tribute tribute. From then on, the Xuanwei envoys of Myanmar's Xuanwei Department began to take Mang as their surname.
In the early years of King Sejong's reign, Mang Jisui of the Myanmar Xuanwei Department served as the Xuanwei envoy and was stationed in Awa City. In the fifth year of Jiajing's reign, Silun, the chieftain of Mengyang, attacked Burma, destroyed the city of Awa, and captured Xuanwei Mangjisui. The killing and looting were futile, so he divided the land with Hanlie, the chieftain of Mubang.
The Ming court ordered Yan Shitai, the prefect of Yongchang Prefecture, to go to him, but he refused to listen. Ji Sui was actually killed by Meng Yang Chieftain Silun and Mengmi Chieftain Sizhen.
Silun, the chieftain of Mengyang, killed Mang Jisui and established his son Sihongfa as the king of Ava City the following year. He also divided the Xuanwei jurisdiction of Myanmar with Sizhen and Hanlie, and the Ava dynasty existed in name only. Mang Ji-year-old's youngest son Mang Ruiti fled to Taungoo for refuge.
The historical background of Taungoo is relatively complicated and will not be detailed here. However, it is theoretically part of the Three Promulgations and Six Consolations of Myanmar's Xuanwei Department. It was not until the reign of Mangshui Ti's adoptive father and Burmese leader Ming Jiyu that he declared independence from Ava and established a new era for Taungoo. The foundation was laid for the establishment of an independent Bamar dynasty.
In the tenth year of Jiajing reign, Mang Ruiti, who was only fifteen years old, succeeded to the throne in Taungyu. From then on, the most powerful dynasty in Myanmar's history was established, known as the Toungoo Dynasty in history.
In the 29th year of Jiajing's reign, Mang Ruiti passed away, and Mang Ruiti's son and brother-in-law, Mang Ruiti's wet nurse, succeeded to the throne.
In the 34th year of Jiajing's reign, Mang Yinglong led his army to capture Ava and destroyed the Ava dynasty. Then he refused the Ming court's offer and continued to go north to attack Mubang, Manmo, Mengyang, Mengmi, and Che under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. All the kingdoms here.
Gao Yingshi felt that Mang Yinglong's actions proved that he no longer regarded the Ming Dynasty as his superior or "superior country". Myanmar had completely become an independent country and had turned to occupy the Ming Dynasty's territory. After his death, his His son Mang Yingli also adhered to this idea and continued to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
Historically, it was not until the thirty-fourth year of Wanli that the Ming-Burma War gradually came to an end because both sides had no energy to continue fighting. However, at this time, the "Liuwei", except for the Chexuanwei Division, rejoined in the thirteenth year of Wanli Except for the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the Five Welfares were owned by Myanmar. The Ming Dynasty basically only kept the "Three Propaganda".
This result is of course very annoying to Gao Jingjing. As a spectator of history in his previous life, he could only lament this with regret, but now that he has come to the Ming Dynasty in this life, he feels that he still needs to take care of this "nosy".
However, the root cause is not to help the Nanzhang Kingdom "continue to rise and fall".
The purpose is different, and the means of handling will of course be different. But having said that, what he just said to the Dao family siblings is not completely evasive. Of course, the preparations must be done.
It’s just that the war with Myanmar is obviously different from the war against Annan this time. Apart from some nominal problems, there is still one most practical trouble: from the beginning, the war against Annan was nominally between Gao Pragmatic, Cen Ling, and It was a private war jointly launched by Huang Zhiting and others, so the Ming court did not send any troops or spend any money. This was also an important reason why Gao Pragmatic's handling of Annan was quickly recognized by the court.
You’ve got a lot of benefits just sitting at home, so what else can you do? We are all decent people, and we can't do anything about it.
But if a war is to be launched against Burma, it obviously cannot be a private war. The imperial court will definitely need to send troops, and from all angles, it must be based in Yunnan - at this time, Yunnan is the real " "Greater Yunnan", the three announcements and six consolations are all nominally under the jurisdiction of Yunnan!
According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the battle is decided to start, the troops will be sent to 80,000 if not 100,000, and then a lot of chieftains' younger brothers - Sanxuan, Liuwei and Yunnan's internal chieftains will probably send troops, among them Meng Maybe the Xuanweisi, such as Yang, Mengmi, and Mubang, who have been suppressed by Myanmar in recent years, can all come out, and the internal chieftains-the chieftains in Yunnan who are equivalent to the Cenhuang family in Guangxi, then it depends. How are the rules in Yunnan set? In short, no matter how few there are, troops must be sent to follow, even if it is just a meaning.
In this case, Yunnan will have an army of at least hundreds of thousands when it moves. Although the chieftains are all "", not to mention not getting military pay, and even the food and pay are paid by themselves, but the military pay of the Han army is indispensable, right? If the battle is won, the chieftains can't be stingy with their rewards, right?
Then this is very problematic, because it is difficult to say whether the court is willing to spend such a large amount of money.
The imperial government's treasury is indeed much richer than it was ten years ago, but correspondingly, a lot of the money is spent on "continuing construction" and "ordnance upgrades" - this is influenced by Gao's pragmatic theory. , he believed that money is waste wherever it is kept, and it only makes sense when it is spent. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the principle of "currency is an equivalent exchange object" in later generations. If money is not exchanged, it will not produce value.
As a result, although the annual income of the imperial court increased greatly, the amount of money in hand did not increase much. It only made up for the accumulated debts over the years.
Under such circumstances, Gao Pragmatic wanted to find an opportunity to launch a "preventive war" in Myanmar. The first thing he had to do was not to make any war layout or tactical planning, but to think of ways to persuade the court to spend the money. The money, and...where to get the money.
