In the blink of an eye, it is already 1650 AD.

This year is the fourth year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty, the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, and the second year of the co-rule of Dashun. The three era names are now placed in front of King Mangdala of the Toungoo Dynasty.

He chooses.

Of course, he could not choose any of them and use his own accession time to mark the year. Then this year would be the third year of King Mangdala.

Unlike the Kingdom of Siam ruled by the Ayutthaya Dynasty next door, most of the territory of the Kingdom of Myanmar ruled by the Taungoo Kingdom once belonged to the "Three Xuan and Six Wei" of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Nandian Xuanfu Division, Ganya Xuanfu Division

Department, Longchuan Xuanfu Department, Cheche Xuanwei Department, Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Mubang Xuanwei Department, Babaidadian Xuanwei Department, Mengyang Xuanwei Department, Laos Xuanwei Department.

Legally speaking, Siam is an external vassal of the Ming Dynasty, while the land under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Burma basically belongs to the internal vassals of the Ming Dynasty, namely the Shizhu Xuanweisi of Qin Liangyu and his family, as well as the current Pingxi, Shuofang, and Sichuan West,

Sichuan East, Dongning, Jinghai, Jinou and other Qifang Towns belong to the same nature, they are all local autonomous regimes within the Ming Dynasty!

Although there is only one word difference between "Outer Fan" and "Inner Fan", they seem to be almost the same, they are both "fan", but the difference in legal principles is huge.

Oh, if the Ming Dynasty is living half-dead, then King Mangdala doesn’t have to worry about the external vassals, and the internal vassal Taungoo Dynasty of Myanmar will not accept the vassal tribute system of the Ming Dynasty!

But the problem is that although the Ming Dynasty has lost half of the north and most of Sichuan and Yunnan, and seems to be in ruins, it has exploded at sea and in the south.

First, it was reported that the Ming army entered Annan, supported King Li, and conferred four princes, completely pulling Annan back to the vassal system of the Ming Dynasty.

Then came the news that the Annan Allied Forces of the Ming Dynasty destroyed Champa and that the Ming Army encroached on Jinou and Jiulongjiang Plains in the east of Chenla, and established two small towns, Jinou and Jinghai, on the land of Chenla and Champa!

Just when the Toungoo dynasty monarchs and ministers in Ava City had not yet reacted to the drastic changes in the east, even more terrifying news came from neighboring Siam.

The King of Siam had just signed a "Ming-Siam Treaty" under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty's naval fleet, fully accepting the "foreign vassal obligations" proposed by the Ming Empire, and also agreed to the Ming Dynasty occupying only one block away from the city of Ayutthaya.

The 200,000 rai (approximately 480,000 acres) of land within the inner island and its surroundings within a day's journey can be used to station 1,000 troops. How can 200,000 rai of land be used to station 1,000 troops? The emperors and ministers of Toungoo thought that the spies sent to Siam could not count.

In terms of counting, either there are too many lands, or there are too few soldiers.

Perhaps the Chinese soldiers stationed in Siam were not 1,000, but 100,000

Does the Ming Dynasty want to bring Siam and Annan together to attack Taungoo?

The current Toungoo dynasty is no longer the heyday of Mang Yinglong's rule! After Mang Yinglong's death, the Toungoo dynasty, which had been severely weakened by Mang Yinglong's bellicose national policy, encountered the outbreak of Siam Nari.

Emperor Xuan was beaten to pieces. In the end, he survived because Emperor Narixuan died of smallpox. However, the country was torn apart as a result. It was not until more than 20 years ago that it was reunited by Mang Yinglong's grandson Anabilong.

.

However, after reunification, Myanmar has lost its vitality and no longer has the strength to march eastward and northward. Therefore, during the more than 20 years of King Mangtala's father, King Talong, the Toungoo Dynasty has been pursuing a peaceful policy and working hard to recuperate and restore national strength.

.

Although the national strength has been restored, it is still a bit difficult to fight against the coalition forces of Ming, Siam, and Annan. Moreover, Ming has picked up the skills of navigation again, not only from land, but also by sea.

.

Because King Anabilon conquered the Portuguese-controlled colony of Salian (near Yangon), Myanmar's relationship with the Westerners was not so good, and it no longer introduced a large number of foreign guns, cannons, and generals, so it was also very difficult.

It is difficult to rely on the strength of Westerners to resist the Ming Dynasty

Therefore, there is only one option before King Mangdala now, and that is to rule together with Dashun for two years!

"Mangbai!" King Mangdala, who was sitting high in the court of Ava, pointed to his brother Mangbai.

"Brother Wang!"

Mang Bai, who was not white at all, stood up quickly, bent down and walked to Brother Wang's throne, and then knelt down again.

Different from the style of the Ayutthaya Dynasty where the ministers went to court shirtless, the monarchs and ministers of Myanmar all wore clothes, and rich gold was not popular, but Mangtala still had a big gold chain hanging around his neck.

King Mangdala asked: "What is the name of the envoy sent by the Dashun Kingdom in the north?"

"My name is Huang Shu," Mang Bai replied. "Do you want this unreasonable guy to be executed as an elephant?"

Elephant killing means trampling to death with an elephant!

Huang Shu is in bad luck now. He has been detained by the Burmese for several months. He has no good food or drink. Every day he may be dragged out and let elephants step on him.

The reason for this was that he was sent as an envoy to Burma by Li Guo, the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty, and he also made demands that were very unreasonable to the Burmese. Dashun demanded that Burma declare itself a vassal, pay tribute, and stop supporting the Mu in Lijiang.

Tianbo also asked Dashun's army to take advantage of Mengmi and Mengyang to attack Longchuan, Ganya, Nandian and Tengchongwei and other places controlled by Mu's army.

It turned out that the Mu family in Yunnan was not finished yet, but with the support of Yang Weizhi, Wang Yunkai and others, they retreated to the northwest of Yunnan Province.

Now the main city of the Mu family has been moved to Lahezhuangsi in Lijiang Prefecture, while Yang Weizhi and Wang Yunkai stationed troops in Yongchang Prefecture, relying on the dangerous terrain of Gaoligong Mountain to resist Li Dingguo's army.

The reason why the remnants of the Mu family can persist to this day is of course inseparable from the support of many pro-Ming chieftains in Myanmar. This matter actually has little to do with the Toungoo dynasty. The so-called unity of the Toungoo dynasty is actually the allegiance and loyalty of feudal lords everywhere.

Paying tribute did not establish comprehensive and effective bureaucratic rule in Myanmar.

The influence of the Ming Dynasty and the Mu family, the Duke of Guizhou, in northern Myanmar has not been completely eliminated. Many chieftains are doing two things at once. While supplying supplies to Ava, they also provide supplies to the Mu family army.

On the other hand, although Li Dingguo was good at conquering and fighting, his army also encountered some problems after entering Yunnan. First of all, they were not accustomed to the climate and soil. The people of Shaanxi and Henan were not used to the soil and climate of Myanmar!

Secondly, Li Dingguo's political ability was poor. He crudely copied the two basic national policies of "land enclosure" and "land equalization" implemented by the Dashun Dynasty in Sichuan to Yunnan.

This is a hornet's nest!

The chieftains in Yunnan, who originally had high hopes for Dashun, suddenly became loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and old friends of the Mu family. The chieftains in northern Myanmar supported the Mu family army mostly because of the bluffing of national borders these days.

Who is staying? The Dashuntian soldiers said they would come and they came.

So Li Dingguo ran into trouble in Yunnan, with endless battles to fight and endless thieves to kill!

The Dashun court in Chongqing was unwilling to give up the implementation of "enclosure" and "equal land" in Yunnan. This was because in the eyes of the political kings and Emperor Li Guo, Yunnan was not an unimportant remote territory, but a large area.

Shun Chao's retreat.

If we don't work hard to manage it, if Sichuan fails to defend it in the future, the Dashun Dynasty will perish.

Therefore, the Dashun court not only did not give up "enclosure" and "equal land", but also pointed the finger at the Toungoo dynasty of Myanmar, sending the unfortunate Huang Shu as an envoy to visit Ava, demanding that Myanmar become a vassal and pay tribute.

Help in the suppression!

Of course Mangdala refused, so he detained Huang Shu and prepared to choose a good day to kill him.

But after picking and choosing, I didn't find a good day for elephant shooting, but things have changed in the country of Siam next door!

Considering that both the Ming Dynasty and Siam were enemies of Burma, Mangdala did not dare to let the elephant trample Dashun's envoy to death.

"No, no, no" Mangdala shook his head and said to his brother, "Now instead of killing Dashun's envoys, we have to surrender to Dashun! If the allied forces of Ming Dynasty, Annan, and Siam come over, only
Chapter completed!
