The imperial edict to attack the Li Dynasty was first transmitted to Guangzhou in a light newspaper, and then copied on a copy of the edict that had been stamped with a jade seal. The original light report and the silk edict were then sent to Bago by speedboat.
Today's imperial court has further improved the process of reporting imperial edicts: before the imperial court issues imperial edicts and reports, the original and archived copies must first be formed in the capital. After the optical report is sent out, the original copy is sent to the destination by imperial envoy or post office. This can avoid information fallacies caused by improper transmission of optical reports as much as possible. If the optical report is inconsistent with the original version, the local government can promptly correct it.
At the same time, in order to speed up the transmission of information to the vassal states, the imperial court also had a blank edict stamped with a jade seal in Guangzhou and marked it as a copy. The copy of the imperial edict can be copied from the content transmitted by Guangbao, and then attached to the original copy of Guangbao, and quickly delivered to the southwestern vassals.
This procedure is mainly to solve the issues related to the vassal. In order to reflect the authority of the empire, you cannot just use the report list to convey the decree to the vassal. Therefore, a beautifully crafted copy of the imperial edict comes in handy, and its effectiveness is equivalent to the original imperial edict.
Although Guangbao saved a lot of time in delivering the imperial edict, Yangon did not receive the edict until the Hungry Ghost Festival, the first day of July. Governor Luo Wanhua, who was tanned by the tropical sun, frowned after receiving the order - it was the hot and humid rainy season and it was not suitable to raise troops.
However, the edict made it very clear that the Li Dynasty would be destroyed within half a year from the date of arrival of the imperial edict. If the Chao Dynasty did not harass the Chinese immigrants, it would be stewed with a spoonful. This is no joke. Once the deadline is exceeded, there will be No matter how great the credit is, it is all in vain.
If we wait for the rainy season to pass, three months will be wasted. Luo Wanhua did not dare to delay and quickly summoned Pingnan Marquis Gong Xian to the Governor's Mansion for discussion.
Pingnan Hou Gong Xian was Liu Xian, the former commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Myanmar. He and Deng Zilong killed the leader of Myanmar in a battle at Lijiang, and then took advantage of Myanmar's internal contradictions to incorporate the country with a population of tens of millions into its territory. It would be unjustifiable for him not to be awarded a title for his achievements in destroying the country. .
In the seventh year of Wanli, the imperial edict arrived in Myanmar, and Liu Xian and Deng Zilong were ennobled as Pingnanhou and Yangchengbo respectively. In addition, the emperor gave Liu Xian another favor and gave him the surname "Gong", which was considered to have exposed his crime of impersonating "Liu Xian" to join the army. From then on, Marshal Ming could openly restore his original surname, and his comrades also Don't worry about what to call him.
After Liu Xian changed his surname back to his original surname, his violent temper became much calmer, and his outlook on life changed. He wanted to bring glory to the old Gong family, and he no longer did things for the sake of money. In recent years, Luo Wanhua has cooperated with Luo Wanhua to secretly implement the policy of "extinction of classics" in Myanmar, and the results have been remarkable.
At the end of the eleventh year of Wanli, generals from all over the country were mobilized, and he and Deng Zilong were originally among those mobilized. However, Governor Luo Wanhua objected to the transfer on the grounds that Myanmar was initially assigned. The Privy Council also believed that Myanmar was a newly occupied territory, and it would take at least a year and a half for the new commander-in-chief to familiarize himself with the situation, which was indeed not conducive to governance. In the end, Zhu Yijun made the decision and transferred Deng Zilong to Guangdong and Guangxi to be promoted to the general soldier, leaving Gong Xian in Myanmar.
Luo Wanhua kept Gong Xian because he still valued his ruthlessness. Gong Xian falsely joined the army and caught up with the Miao rebellion in Yibin. He personally killed more than fifty people in one battle, as if the god of murder had come to the world, and he truly regarded human life as nothing more than a piece of grass. From then on, his bloodthirsty nature stayed with him throughout his life.
In recent years, he and Deng Zilong have cooperated with Luo Wanhua to sort out Myanmar's originally small native civilization like a grate and restore it to its original ecology in a planned and step-by-step manner.
Today, Myanmar is under the iron fist of the Governor-General. The natives live and work in peace and contentment. Most of them regard themselves as Chinese people and cannot think of any resistance and trouble. As Han officials and Han people took root, Chinese civilization gradually became mainstream in Myanmar. After years of recovery, the Lishui Delta has gradually become a land of plenty. Ten years after Wanli, Burmese treasure wells and agricultural products have begun to feed China on a large scale, and the southern part of the empire has now begun to eat Lijiang rice.
After Deng Zilong was transferred, Gong Xian lost his most important think tank and was at the mercy of Luo Wanhua in everything. Governor Luo was able to order him more smoothly. Now that the Governor was summoned, Marshal Gong didn't delay at all and arrived at the Governor's Mansion the next day.
When the two met, Luo Wanhua issued an edict and asked him how to raise troops at this time. Gong Xian frowned and said: "This matter cannot be rushed. Today in the southwest, there is heavy rain every day, and there is no good road for marching! Why does the emperor ask us to do this? Send the navy from Guangdong and Guangxi and go straight to Qinghua. It is no better than We are much better at traveling through mountains and rivers.”
Luo Wanhua frowned after hearing this, but nodded slowly and said: "Now there are no less than a thousand people in the imperial court who know the military, and the Privy Council and Temple must have a navy to cooperate with us. I predict that there will be an edict later."
Gong Xian listened and nodded in agreement. Then he added: "Now in the Annan Li Dynasty, the Lord Zheng is in power and proclaims himself the king. He threatens the Lord Li to order the princes. This edict says that we are attacking the Li Dynasty, but in fact we are attacking the Zheng family. The emperor has not planned what will happen to the Ruan family in Hue in the future. , shall we correct the chaos, or shall the Ruan and Zheng tribes be completely wiped out and their species extinguished?”
When Luo Wanhua heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "I understand what the emperor means!"
Marshal Gong listened to Luo Wanhua try to figure out the emperor's decree, and quickly shut up and listened to him. Luo Wanhua smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of "Mountains and Rivers of the Southern Country"?"
With Gong Weiming's academic qualifications, of course he shook his head. Luo Wanhua chanted: "The emperor's residence in the mountains and rivers of the southern country is clearly determined in the book of heaven. How will the rebels come to invade? You will see whether you will be defeated or not. During the Xining period of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Li Dynasty of Annan fought at the Battle of Fuliang River. , what Annan General Li Changjie did was that Annan could have stood up to the emperor of China."
Gong Xian heard this and sneered: "The toad yawned so loudly!"
Luo Wanhua solemnly said: "Don't underestimate them, Marquis Gong. When I was in the Xuanzong period, Li Li had a fight with me. We lost our troops and lost our generals. It was only then that Li Li established the Li Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Later, the Li Dynasty made the "Ping Wu Dagao" ", at the beginning it said that the two families could 'each have their own emperor'."
After he finished speaking, he recited the "Ping Wu Da Gao" and said: "'But my country, Dayue, is actually a country of documents. The feudal territories of mountains and rivers are different, and the customs of the north and south are also different. Since the founding of our country by Zhao, Ding, Li, and Chen, Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan each had their own emperor!'"
Gong Xian was a little dazed after hearing this. He was a martial artist and did not read scriptures or history. He had no idea that there was such a period between the Xuanzong period of the Ming Dynasty and Annan. After listening to Luo Wanhua's retelling, he hurriedly said: "Is there really an 'Each Emperor'? It's not afraid of the wind and flashes its tongue!"
Luo Wanhua said: "What Wei Ming said is true. But we must not deny it. I was defeated at that time and later agreed to his request for tribute. In fact, I had tacitly allowed him to proclaim himself emperor."
After hearing this, Gong Xian was angry at first, then sighed, and sighed: "What else is written in the imperial edict?"
Luo Wanhua solemnly said: "The book cannot bear to be read. However, before I came to Myanmar with the order, I also found it and read it to encourage my determination. Today I will repeat the words in the edict that there is no king and no father. stop."
"'Because of the harshness of Hu's administration, people's hearts became resentful and rebellious. The crazy people were waiting for opportunities to poison our people... so they ordered Xuande to be a cunning boy, and he was insatiable in his troops. He still ordered Sheng to promote cowardly generals, and to Oil saves fire.'"
Afraid that Gong Xian wouldn't understand, Luo Wanhua still had to explain. Unexpectedly, Gong Xian had no problem listening to classical Chinese, so he asked directly: "Xuan De, this cunning boy, is he talking about Xuan Zong?"
Luo Wanhua nodded and said: "Exactly." Although Gong Xian was a veteran and nearly seventy years old, his eyes turned red when he heard this.
Luo Wanhua then recounted: "'In advance, I selected troops to block the danger to destroy its front; later, I deployed troops to intercept the road to deprive it of food. On the 18th of this month, Liu Sheng was attacked by our army. He fell into the wilderness of Zhileng; on the 20th of this month, Liu Sheng was defeated by our army and died on Ma'an Mountain. On the 25th, Boliang Ming of Baoding fell into the formation and died; on the 28th, Shangshu Li He cut his head to celebrate his poverty.'"
"'Captain Cui Ju walked on his knees to deliver the money; Shangshu Huang Fu tied his face and was captured. Zombies blocked the areas of Langjiang and Langshan, and the water of Chichang River and Pingtan was bloody. The wind and clouds changed their colors, and the sun and the moon were miserable. Guang. The Yunnan soldiers were choked by our army in Lihua. They suspected that they were empty and drank, and their courage was broken. The soldiers in Mu Sheng heard that the Sheng army was defeated at Qinzhan, so they had to escape because of the rout. Lenggou Zhi The blood drifts in the pestle, and the river weeps for it; the mountains of corpses pile up in Danshe, and the wild grass turns red.'"
"General Fang Zheng and Ma Qi, an internal officer, were first given more than 500 ships. After they crossed the river, they were still in despair. General Wang Tong, who was involved in politics, Ma Ying, was given more than thousands of horses and returned to the country. It makes him tremble and frightened. He is afraid of death and greedy for life, but he is sincere in his cultivation..."
Luo Wanhua lived up to his talent as the number one scholar and recited the "Ping Wu Da Gao" almost word for word. After Gong Xian heard that the Ming Dynasty's generals, internal officers and chief soldiers actually gave warships and horses to Li Lilai to ask for peace, Unable to bear it anymore, he punched the case and shouted: "Governor Luo, you don't have to recite it anymore!"
He stood up and walked quickly in the governor's custody room. With nowhere to vent his passion, Gong Xian suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, blood penetrated his pupils, his nose flared, and suddenly he raised his head and roared, which shocked Luo Wanhua.
Gong Xian shouted: "This is a great shame and humiliation!" After speaking, he gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious face: "This beast that insults my father and my father cannot live with us and other generals for a day! I am willing to lead my troops to attack the country and kill them with thunder. Kind!”
After hearing this, Luo Wanhua slapped the table hard and said: "This is exactly what the emperor meant by using Ping Nanhou! Now among the generals in the world, only Pingnan Hou can display such thunder!"
