From the late Jiajing period to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the army of the Dongyu Dynasty in Myanmar invaded the border of Yunnan in my country, causing a war that lasted for decades.

After the 34th year of Wanli, the Sino-Myanmar War basically stopped. This is because in China, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was in crisis and could no longer regain the vast area occupied by Myanmar.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty lost its rule over Meng Yang, Mubang and other military and civilian Xuanwei envoys.

Decades have passed, and the Dongyu Dynasty has shown signs of decline, but the Ming Empire has eliminated internal troubles, regained its might, and changed its offensive and defensive momentum.

The Frost Descent signaled the beginning of the war. More than 40,000 Ming troops, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, divided into two groups and entered Myanmar. Then there were the chieftain coalition forces that assisted the war, with a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people.

The mobilization and deployment of a hundred thousand troops cannot be absolutely confidential. Myanmar has also received information and carried out corresponding defenses.

But as soon as the war began, Burmese people discovered that the Ming army was no longer the same as before, and that the weapons and equipment and the quality of generals were far superior to their own army.

The rapid surrender of Mubang chieftain allowed the Ming army on the right to march forward and defeated the first line of defense of the Burmese people.

Lashio, Bamo waited for the important places, and was defeated with a bombardment of the Ming army's artillery rockets, and the defenders were almost wiped out. The Ming army on the left quickly moved south and the troops headed straight to Mengmi.

The front was unstoppable, and the chieftain coalition forces plundered and transported ammunition, medicine, gold, silver and wealth for the Ming army, and a large number of Burmese people became spoils.

Many officials have been installed in the chieftain coalition, and all the seized and registered, and the spoils will be calculated and divided after the war is over.

A group of Burmese people were driven to the gathering place, including men and women, elderly people and children, all of whom were frightened and frightened.

"Father, these should be ours." Sha Dingzhou was very heartbroken, pointed to the crowd, and pointed to the big truck loaded and seized.

Wang Nong Tusi Shayuan and Ami Tusi Pu were related to each other. They participated in the Ming army's suppression of the Shuxi rebellion, and received commendation from the court, and had a small reputation in Yunnan.

Regarding his son's complaint, Sha Yuan just smiled and said, "You are still too young and have too shallow vision."

Sha Dingzhou looked at his father, although he did not refute, his expression and eyes were full of doubts and dissatisfaction.

Sha Yuan patted his son's arm and said earnestly: "What do you think you have seen the strength of Ming Jun?"

Sha Dingzhou blinked and said, "It's very strong. The weapons are sharp and the battle formation is strict, so the Burmese cannot resist it."

Sha Yuan nodded and said, "I have seen it in Shuixi for my father. Now it is stronger than that time. Even if there are no local soldiers to help the war, I can still sweep across Myanmar."

After pausing, Sha Yuan continued: "The situation in Yunnan Province is already different. The imperial court strengthened local garrisons and increased the power of the governor. The Mu Gong Mansion will soon be unable to guard Yunnan Province."

The conflict between Mu Gong’s Mansion and the governor of Yunnan and the officials of the Three Secretaries has been around for a long time. In history, the Shadingzhou Rebellion also had this reason.

But now Mu Tianbo is just a child, and the Mu Mansion can not directly command the army. The tendency shown by the court's successive actions is indeed not difficult to see.

The purpose of suppressing the rebels in the Shuixi River, strengthening the garrison in the southwest, and launching the battle against Myanmar was to shock the Tus.

Although Mu Gong’s Mansion has declined, it has been under the prestige for hundreds of years to guard Yunnan Province. For stability, the court did not make too impatient and reckless progress.

"The land in the west of the water will be returned to the court, and it is impossible for An to surrender." Sha Yuan shook his head gently and sighed, "Son, have you not seen the court's determination and long-term plan?"

Shadingzhou thoughtfully and said with a guess: "Amipu's clan has no descendants. I'm afraid that after his death, the position of a local official will be taken back by the court."

Because he had a relationship with Pu, Sha Yuan had some plans. If Pu Ming died, his wife Wan remarried. If he could marry into the Sha family, he could submit a report to the court and merge the two chieftains.

Historically, the Wan family did remarry Shadingzhou, and the two chieftains merged into one, and the Sha family's power increased greatly.

Seeing his father showing admiration, Sha Dingzhou was revived and continued: "The court is suppressing the local officials to avoid going out of the water again."

Sha Yuan nodded and said, "In the original territory of the Ming Dynasty, the court did not want to see the local officials growing stronger. But in other places, such as Mekong Province and the newly occupied Myanmar land, the court's policies were different."

He pointed to the distance, where the local army was the camp of the local army. Sha Yuan smiled and said, "Why did the imperial court just call for one plus, so many local officials gave people and paid for food?"

"They want the land here and the official position of the local officials." Sha Dingzhou suddenly realized and said, "This is also the meaning of the court, to move the chieftains' power outside the territory, or to call it a new land."

"That's right." Sha Yuan let out a long breath. When his son understood, he felt relieved.

Shadingzhou looked at the Burmese people and the big chariot again, and his eyes were different. So many chieftains sent troops, and the Ming army also wanted to seize one. If there was no unified distribution, Dingsheng was in chaos.

Besides, if you can get a piece of land and a position as a local official, it is a valuable property that can be passed down to your descendants. Compared with some wealth, it is clear at a glance which is more important.

Sha Yuan could see these, and other chieftains were not fools. The court let go of a hole, how could they not seize this opportunity?

The emperor's intention was already obvious. He beat Myanmar half to death first, and then there were a small number of Ming troops and a large number of local soldiers. He played a protracted battle with Myanmar until he dragged down and destroyed it.

Use the power of the chieftain to invest in the grand cause of expanding territory, so that the chieftain’s power can be moved outward and ensure domestic stability to the greatest extent.

The unfavorable situation of the war forced the Burmese king to shrink his troops to Awa so as not to be defeated one by one. At the same time, stretching the supply line of the Ming army and making it difficult for logistics were also the goal that the Burmese people wanted to achieve.

The deterioration of the situation was not only the continuous defeats on the front line, but also the attack of the feud of Siam.

From the mid-16th century to the early nineteenth century, a long war was fought between Siam and Myanmar to annex land, plunder labor and gain political and economic advantages of the Indochina Peninsula.

Overall, Siam was at a disadvantage, the capital was once broken and independence was also lost.

It is obvious that Siam and the Ming Dynasty have secretly joined forces to fight against Myanmar. Otherwise, there would be no such coincidence in time.

What shocked the Burmese even more was that in southern Myanmar and northern Siam, the two armies, which had attacked and defended each other, suddenly changed their strength.

The Siam army not only had sharp firearms similar to the Ming army, but also seemed to have learned the tactical style of the Ming army. They defeated the Burmese army near Bagan and entered the Burmese territory in one fell swoop.

At this time, Bagan, occupied by the Siam army, was holding a banquet, and several Ming army officers were sitting in the guest seat.

Several Siamese beauties were moving barefoots in the field, swinging their soft arms, dancing lightly, and their eyebrows and eyes were filled with affection.
