Chapter 1096 Myanmar sends troops to seek the moon
On the border between the Ming Dynasty and Myanmar, the messengers sent by major chieftains had met the generals of Myanmar.
Although these generals have no power to decide whether to send troops to reinforce, they can report the news to the capital, and the decision is made by the Burmese king.
This made me anxious that the messenger sent by the toast.
They came this time to get reinforcements as much as possible.
If Myanmar chooses to remain unmoved, the chieftains will likely face the attack of the Ming army alone.
This is very difficult to resist.
But no matter what, he has to fight for the most possible. After all, the current situation is already very unfavorable to the toast.
To take a step back, if it weren't for Myanmar's instigation, the chieftains wouldn't have done so many small moves.
It is precisely because of the support of Myanmar that the chieftains dare to be fearless.
But the court did not seem to intend to give up easily, but sent a large army to Lin'an Prefecture.
What this means is self-evident.
Nowadays, the toasts can only rely on Myanmar in addition to saving themselves.
...
...
The royal capital of Burma, royal palace.
The government and the country had a very fierce debate on whether to send troops to reinforce the chieftains.
"Your Majesty, I think you should not send troops. After all, this is the housework of the Ming Dynasty. If we send troops rashly, we may anger the Ming Emperor. What should we do if the Ming Emperor takes his anger at that time? Although Myanmar is not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, we have close ties after all. If the two sides really fight, we will not be able to take action."
"What are you saying? King, we are no longer a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Now even if we start a war with the Ming Dynasty, it is legitimate. If the king needs it, I can lead the troops there."
"Please think twice, our strength is far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. If a head-on conflict really breaks out, we will not be able to gain an advantage no matter how we look at it."
"Shut up, this battle has not been fought yet. Don't you gain others' ambitions here to destroy your own prestige. How strong is the Ming army? So strong that you don't even dare to fight a war?"
"Enough!"
The Burmese King, who had been silent and allowed his ministers to argue, finally couldn't help it.
He interrupted sternly: "How about Ming Jun Haimei? You guys start arguing first. This is the court, not the vegetable market. If you do this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Burmese King was not a good person, but a vicious person who killed his brother and usurped the throne. When he learned that the Ming army had put pressure on him, he was eager to try.
"Now my country has more than 100,000 troops, and its strength is not low. If we can fight with the Ming army, we can also help us recognize our strength. If we can win, it is naturally the best. Even if we can't win, we know where to work."
He had already said this very clearly, and the ministers of the war-first faction couldn't help but be very happy when they heard it.
Since the king supported him, he had no scruples.
"The king is wise, it is a mule or a horse. Even if the Ming army is really a giant beast, we have to fight with them to know the strength of the giant beast. If this giant beast is just a false reputation, we just poke through this layer of window paper."
“Well said.”
The Burmese King nodded very much.
I have to say that this war faction has reached his heart.
The current situation is an opportunity for Myanmar, and it is not impossible to seize it.
The toasts are not fuel-efficient, there is a saying that strong dragons do not suppress local snakes.
The toasts have been operating locally for many years, and their relationships are complicated.
Even if the Ming army goes to attack, they may not be able to gain any advantage in a short period of time.
If Myanmar sends troops to provide assistance in the future, it may fundamentally change the direction of the war.
The Burmese king clinged and weighed the pros and conscientiously while clinging.
Although he is a vicious person, he is not a reckless man.
He has to weigh the pros and cons to make a decision.
After a long time, the Burmese King took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I have decided to send troops to send troops. Lead 50,000 troops to reinforce the chieftains."
"The king is wise."
...
...
Lin'an Prefecture, Eight Great Villages.
The toasts who were looking forward to it finally received good news.
The messenger who went to Myanmar brought back the news that the Burmese king decided to reinforce them, which made the major toasts ecstatic.
They were already on the verge of collapse, but now they are becoming arrogant again.
Once the Myanmar army arrives at Lin'an Prefecture and joins forces with the armies of major chieftains, they will have the power to fight even when facing the Ming army.
What's so great about the Ming army? It's just a false reputation.
At worst, both sides can fight to see who is the strong.
"The army in Lin'an Prefecture City is probably only ten thousand people. It seems that the Ming army has not really made up its mind."
"No matter what they do, as long as they don't take action, we will not move. We will wait until the Burmese people come."
...
...
The Ming army also arrived at Lin'an Prefecture after Hao Yaoqi arrived.
Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong looked very solemn.
They anticipated several possibilities, but they were the worst.
The chieftains remained silent, and there was no movement at all.
This is really embarrassing.
The Ming army was fighting, not fighting, nor did it, so they could only choose to continue waiting.
Li Dingguo actually wanted the chieftains to take action first.
In this way, the Ming army could teach them a lesson legitimately.
But if the chieftains did nothing, it would be a bit inappropriate for Ming army to take action.
Li Dingguo had to think about the problem comprehensively and consider the face of His Majesty the Emperor.
If he ignores nothing, the censor's spitting will eventually drown him.
"King Jin, do you think Myanmar will take action?"
Zheng Chenggong has been thinking about a question these days, that is, will the Burmese people take action?
If the Burmese people really take action, it will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for the Ming army.
When the two sides really fight, the pressure the Ming army will face is undoubtedly much greater.
This will also directly affect the arrangement of the Ming army in the future.
"It's hard to say. I don't know what the Burmese people think. But if you analyze it from the perspective of interests, the possibility of the Burmese people coming is very high."
Li Dingguo analyzed: "After all, they have always been rebellious, disobedient to the Ming court, and are unwilling to be our vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. With the opportunity this time, they will definitely want to compete with us. Once they win, they will become even more arrogant. Even if they lose, they will withdraw their troops back to Myanmar, and there will be no big loss. Why don't they do such a stable profit and no loss?"
"Think about it carefully, this is indeed the reason, but does the King of Jin want to take this opportunity to train new recruits?"
