"Let's settle the wood matter first!"
Li Jinglong first smiled at Lian Zining, and then whispered to the public, "Let him come in!"
After the words fell, the thin Burmese envoy came in excitedly from outside.
After entering, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The envoys from this country are going to pay homage to the Duke of Heaven!"
His expression was very excited when he spoke, and his movements of kowtowing were very pious. For him, happiness came too suddenly, and he thought he would continue to wait proudly in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He was already desperate, but
Unexpectedly, I was suddenly received by Mr. Cao Guogong, the Minister of the Daming Li Domain.
"Well!" Li Jinglong slowly blew the hot tea in the bowl and said, "Is it time for your envoy to come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty?"
"I've been here for ten months!" Miao Lun, the Burmese envoy, said anxiously, "I came here to pay tribute as ordered by my king!"
"Ha, paying tribute?" Li Jinglong sneered and suddenly changed his face, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you really here to pay tribute?"
"Your Majesty..."
"Don't you know why I don't see you as the envoy?" Li Jinglong asked sharply.
"Down...."
"We, the Ming Dynasty, have always treated the vassal states of the world with kindness and kindness. No matter where they come from, they treat each other with courtesy and give generous gifts. Why have you been left alone? Don't you know why?"
"At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the country of Burma stipulated that tribute should be paid every three years. How can it be that there is no news from Kerbang except Hongwu once every fifteen years?" Li Jinglong's voice was gentle, but full of joking, "
Could it be that you are deceiving me, the Great Ming Tairen?"
"I don't dare!"
"What else don't you dare to do?" Li Jinglong continued to sneer, "It's okay if you don't pay tribute. If you don't like to come, I, the Ming Dynasty, don't want to talk to you!"
As he spoke, his voice suddenly rose, and his tone was extremely stern, "But the humble and small country that neighbors the Ming Dynasty is not polite and privately provokes the ambitions of the wolf. It also colludes with the chieftains of Yunnan to break up the land on the border of the Ming Dynasty and is spying on me during my trip to the Central Xia Dynasty.
?You have also read Chinese books, right? Don’t you know the idiom about self-inflicted pain?”
"My lord, Burma has already made a mistake!" In an instant, Miao Lun burst into tears.
Ever since Zhu Gaoxu, the Duke of Huangsun Town in the Ming Dynasty, arrived at the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Ava Dynasty of Burma, there has been no peace for a day. The cavalry was out of sight and killed people at sight, farms were destroyed and water sources were poisoned, and murders and arson were committed.
The Ava Dynasty intended to fight back, but could not catch the opponent at all.
At the same time, the other two dynasties of the Ava dynasty in Burma, with the instructions of the Ming Dynasty, also began to sharpen their swords. For a time, the Ava dynasty was surrounded by enemies on three sides, and it was about to face the threat of national subjugation.
(Myanmar at this time was divided and there were several dynasties)
"You know you're wrong?" Li Jinglong then sneered, "You don't know the pain until the whip hits your body. As the saying goes, you are a bitch!"
"My lord, I have come with the sincerity of my king. As long as Ming Dynasty is willing..."
"Stop it!" Li Jinglong glanced at him, "It's too late!"
~
"Ah!" Miao Lun was stunned.
Even Lian Zining, who was observing, felt something was wrong. The court had not reached a unified conclusion about the Burmese envoy. Some people said that a slight punishment would be enough, while others said that since they knew their mistake, they should stop fighting and make peace.
Why did he just give Li Jinglong two words directly when he got here? It was too late?
"I saw you today and I want to tell you something!" Li Jinglong didn't even look at Miao Lun, he just looked at his bowl and said, "The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army of the Ministry of War has decided to send 100,000 troops to Yunnan to completely solve the border troubles.
, once and for all!”
"What's the matter?" Lian Zining was shocked.
Just as he was about to speak, Li Jinglong silently kicked him under the table.
"Master!" Miao Lun was shocked, "It's not just that, it's more than that! I was bewitched at first, and then I had contact with Dao Mengqian and other chieftains. I have never disrespected the Celestial Empire.
....”
He was really panicked. How could the Ava Dynasty resist an army of 100,000 people?
The reason why they decided to collude with the chieftains in Yunnan was because they were sure that the great powers of the Central Plains would not fall out with them because of those barbaric lands, and they even wanted to secretly encroach on them, just to take advantage.
Unexpectedly, the current Ming Dynasty was completely different from the Central Plains dynasty they knew in the history books. Not only did they cut through the trouble with a sharp knife and directly annihilate the rebellion with heavy troops, but they also directly sent troops to their territory to investigate the crimes.
"Oh, you kill my border residents and stir up civil strife, and you say you have no disrespect?" Li Jinglong put down the teacup, "Don't you feel guilty for saying this? It would be better if you, a small country that knows no good or evil, should be destroyed!"
"Sir, once the two countries go to war, life will definitely be ruined. Our Burmese people are also human beings!" Miao Lun raised his head and said loudly, "It is said that the Holy Lord does not raise unjust teachers. Our Burmese country is guilty, but the crime cannot be this!" Then!
, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, although our country is a foreign country, it still has millions of subjects, and there are dangerous mountains and rivers..."
"Oh, are you threatening me?" Li Jinglong suddenly changed his color.
"How dare you, my subordinates? People will die in war. If a hundred thousand troops go on an expedition, our country, Burma, will be destroyed. The army of the superior country will also be damaged. God has the virtue of good life..."
Li Jinglong waved his hand, "It's too late for you to tell me this!" After saying that, he sighed, stood up, and helped Miao Lun up, "Let me tell you, you guys got into big trouble this time.
The person to mess with!"
"Please make it clear, sir!" Miao Lun saluted, "Let me have a chance to make amends!"
"You provoked the Ming Dynasty first!" Li Jinglong said with a bitter smile, "When has the Ming Dynasty ever been wronged like this? The court was furious, especially the military ministers of the Ming Dynasty!"
Tian said in a helpless tone, "We, the Ming Dynasty, are established in the world. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have conquered the north and south and expanded our territory without any defeat. We have millions of tigers and wolves waiting for us."
Immediately, he looked at Miao Lun, "But now, my military officials of the Ming Dynasty have discovered something!"
Miao Lun hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Jinglong shook his head, "Where is the enemy?" He said, sighing again, "The Tatars dare not come, Korea has been destroyed, and the Japanese pirates have now sent envoys to beg for mercy. I have a tiger and wolf army in the Ming Dynasty, but I found that there is no such thing.
enemy?"
"Those military ministers have been so idle all day that grass grows in their hearts. They want to go up and stab anyone they see. Good guys, you Burmese people are coming up at this time. Who do you want to hit if you don't hit me?"
"This?" Miao Lun was stunned for a moment.
What the hell is this, you have no place to find enemies, so you come to us to practice?
"Furthermore, warriors first think about making achievements!" Li Jinglong sighed again and said, "You must also know that in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many hereditary dukes like me!"
Miao Lun was stunned and couldn't figure out what this had to do with beating the Burmese.
"You see, there are so many marquises in the Ming Dynasty. If they have no military merit, then their sons can only be earls in the future. The sons of earls will be viscounts, the sons of viscounts will be barons, and the sons of baron...
Got it!"
Li Jinglong sighed, "But if you have the merit of destroying the country, our Lord Long Live will reward the three armies, and then everyone's titles will be promoted. Even if it doesn't work, it can be passed down for two more generations, so that the descendants will all be like the marquis and uncles."
!”
"So, as soon as you seek death, the military ministers here in the Ming Dynasty will be extremely happy. Ready-made achievements will be delivered to your door. Who doesn't want it? Even if you are injured, it is better than attacking the Tatars, right?"
"To tell you the truth, the nobles in the Governor's Mansion have begun to fight with their arms and sleeves over who will lead the troops to fight you." He said, and then sighed, "I don't want to see the two countries fighting.
After all, people are going to die, right? But I can’t block other people’s achievements, right?”
"What the hell is this?" Miao Lun cursed in his heart, "For the sake of the inheritance of your family, you, the noble generals of the Ming Dynasty, have to ignore the life and death of your soldiers and send troops to attack us?"
"The Duke of Zhenguo who is raising troops on the border of your country of Burma is the grandson of our Ming Dynasty!" Li Jinglong said again, "His father is the most capable of conquering and fighting in our Ming Dynasty, King Yan Qiansui. You can't stand it now? Hey, this
Where did you get to?"
He sighed again, "Hey, if these tiger and wolf warriors really go south, your country's foundation will be ruined... tsk tsk!"
"But, you don't have to be too anxious now. This matter has not been settled yet. Long live my kindness, considering that the subjects of the two countries are living creatures, they cannot bear to use weapons. But, if those military ministers keep making trouble...
..”
"My lord!" Miao Lun could no longer stand and knelt down again and said, "I know that you are an important minister of the superior country. I beg you to state your interests in front of His Majesty the Emperor. The war between the two countries will be devastating.
ah!"
Li Jinglong helped the other party up again, "I am in charge of the vassal academy and I know the importance. But, how can I help you...?"
At this time, Lian Zining on the side understood.
"This Burmese asked Li Jinglong to sell it and count the money for him!"
"Before I came, my king said that as long as Ming Dynasty forgives my country, I will recognize Ming Dynasty as the country of my parents..."
"Damn it, do you think anyone can be my Daming son?" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, then sat on a chair and pretended to ponder for a moment, "You will agree to any request?"
"I agree!" Miao Lun kowtowed and said.
"Three things. First, I must apologize for the incident involving Yunnan Chieftain!"
"Second, delineate the border between the two countries and set up boundary markers. Anyone who crosses will die!"
"Third, compensate me for the losses caused by the Yunnan rebellion in Ming Dynasty!"
"Anything is fine!" Miao Lun couldn't help but nodded and said carefully, "How much is the compensation?"
"This time Yunnan's military expenditure totaled more than two million silver dollars..."
"Where can the small country of Xia Bang have so much money?" Miao Lun complained again.
"If you don't have money, can you use something to compensate for it, such as wood or animal skins?" Li Jinglong thought about it, "Yes, isn't your area rich in teak? Just use that to compensate!"
