When news of the civil strife in Myanmar reached Nanjing, Emperor Guangwu was busy dealing with the domestic democrats. He was busy, very busy. He had just finished talking to Huang Zongyi when news of this mess in Myanmar came.
By the Taiye Pond, he suddenly lifted up his fishing rod and couldn't help but smile when he saw the harvest, "I wanted to catch a fat fish, but unexpectedly I caught a lobster."
"Your Majesty, the "Pingluchuan Lubu" you requested has been copied by my servant." Ma Huanxi, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, carefully came over holding a piece of paper. This is a cautious person. As a
A high-ranking eunuch is qualified to call himself a minister in front of the emperor, but he insists on calling himself a slave.
"Well, buddy, take it and show it to me."
"On the 26th day of the 11th month of the last year of Wanli Gui, Hengshang swore an oath, marched in separate posts, passed through dangerous passes, and reached the robber's nest. Yuan evil had already defected and was captured, and all the members and subordinates were tied up in the capital...
If you don’t fight, you will breathe the smoke of the war, and you will be determined to achieve success in Xianning. According to Jinsha (Irrawaddy River), the city is barren (Bamo); if you talk about it, it is big, not on your shoulder; if you go to Baojing, across southern Yunnan, if you do not believe it, it will be disadvantageous. Those who expand the land,
The number of people who were captured and plundered from thousands of miles away and back was estimated to be hundreds of millions of people... In the second month of the war, all of them were swept away by plows."
Zhu Hengjia read "Pingluchuan Debu" written by the famous Ming Dynasty general Liu Ting, and a rush of blood surged into his chest. There were not many words in "Pinglu Chuan Debu", but Liu Ting's heroic spirit was vividly displayed on the page. You can imagine how powerful he was when he was an iron horse.
Swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
During the Wanli period, the Burmese king Mang Yingli repeatedly invaded the border of the Ming Dynasty. Yunnan governor Liu Shizeng promoted Liu Ting to be a guerrilla in Tengyue and Deng Zilong to be a general in Yongchang. They each raised 5,000 troops to fight back against Burma, and recruited chieftain soldiers to support them. They defeated Mang in Yaoguan.
In Yingli, the Burmese soldiers were defeated and fled. Liu Qing and Deng Zilong took advantage of the victory and pursued them. They led their troops out of Longchuan and Mengmi and reached the city of Awa. The Burmese soldiers in Longchuan, Manmo and Mengyang fled one after another. The Burmese soldiers who had surrendered to Mangyingli
Chieftains in the southwest, such as Manmo Sishun and Longchuan Yuefeng, surrendered one after another. Liu Ting "moved to Manmo", "strengthened the Jinsha River (Irrawaddy River), built a platform at Wang Ji's former site, and gained a great reputation", and "Jian Dajiang"
On February 21, the twelfth year of Wanli (AD 1584), Liu Qing summoned the chieftains of Meng Yang, Mubang, Mengmi, and Longchuan to "slay the blood and power of the distant camp" and made an oath of alliance:
The Six Welfares were opened, the Three Propagandas were restored, all the barbarians were conscientious, paid tribute forever, washed their armor and golden sands, hid their swords and thought about caves, and did not let go or capture, the southerners surrendered." This is how the "Pinglu River Dew Cloth" came about.<
/p>
Liu Ting and Deng Zilong conquered Burma and defeated Mangyingli. They "united all the barbarians and used their blood to dominate the far camp" and achieved a decisive victory. However, the power of Burmese king Mangyingli was not completely wiped out. Liu Ting clearly realized that "Although the territory has been destroyed,
"To clarify, the Mang chieftains are so powerful that if they are not exterminated urgently, the disaster will eventually spread." He went to the court many times to completely annihilate Mang Yingli and return Myanmar to the vassal state. However, Emperor Wanli was unwilling to bother with the expedition, so he had to give it up. "I will complete the unfinished work of General Liu Ting for him," Zhu Hengjia's voice was sonorous and powerful by the Taiye Pool.

In Ziguang Pavilion, Nanjing, Emperor Guangwu summoned his ministers to discuss the Myanmar issue.
"My lords, Burma often invades the borders of the Ming Dynasty. Now there is civil strife. The Burmese king Mangda was killed by his brother Mangbai. I want to fight against it and completely eliminate the border troubles. What should I do?"
"Your Majesty's Holy Ming, the Burmese military and civilian comfort envoy Si Benwu, a member of the Ming vassal, betrayed the Ming Dynasty and established itself. We should take the opportunity to attack this rebellion," Su Guansheng said.
"What Mr. Su Ge said is true. Opportunities cannot be missed, and they will never come back." Yu Chaoxiang agreed.
"Your Majesty, although this is a good opportunity, the national treasury is empty and it is not suitable for an expedition." Guan Shouzhen objected.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Our army has just finished conquering Junggar, and the veterans are exhausted, so it is not appropriate to use weapons." Gu Yi also objected.
Zhu Hengjia said nothing and looked at Zheng Feng with a smile.
Sensing the emperor's eager gaze, Zheng Feng said: "Now the autumn grain has just been put into the warehouse. After a squeeze, the military pay is still enough. This time we enter Myanmar, we can use more local Yunnan soldiers. The cost is not high, but the combat effectiveness is strong."
.
"Okay! According to Zheng Qing, I immediately ordered Shi Qiwen to reorganize the Yunnan army and enter Myanmar. As for the commander-in-chief of the army, I will let the crown prince take charge of it on my behalf."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. What should be done if something goes wrong?
"No, Your Majesty, the prince is young and cannot lead the army."
"Yes, the prince is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. You must not go into danger lightly!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
All the officials knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to change his mind.
"If a jade is not polished, it will become useless; if a man is not learned, he will not know. Ji'er is already twenty years old, and it is not good to stay in the palace all the time. How will we govern the country in the future? When I was as old as him, I was already proficient in bow and horse."
Zhu Hengjia paused for a moment and said categorically: "I have given up my will. I will appoint the crown prince Zhu Ruoji as the general to conquer the south. Duke Shi Qiwen of the Dian Kingdom will be the deputy general in the expedition to the south. The Duke of Qin Li Dingguo will lead 20,000 troops to escort the crown prince into Yunnan."
/p>
The crown prince Zhu Ruoji was very smart, proficient in poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and music, and was especially good at painting. He was very popular with his old father. There was only one thing, his writing was a little weak. Zhu Hengjia was afraid that he would be weak-minded, so he defeated him with great difficulty.
There are flowers in the world. So I made up my mind to let the crown prince go to the battlefield to experience and see blood, so that he can become a qualified and good emperor in the future.
??
In December of the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo escorted the crown prince Zhu Ruoji to Kunming.
The official historian of the Dian Kingdom, Wen Anzhi, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Yang Weizhi, the governor of Yunnan, Wang Yunkai, the chief envoy of Yunnan, and Li Weizuo, the envoy of Yunnan's criminal prosecutor, rushed out to greet him.
"Oh, Duke of Dian, Mr. Wen Ge, gentlemen, please get up quickly." Zhu Ruoji's attitude was very humble.
However, the young man was inevitably impatient. As soon as he entered the Yunnan governor's office, he asked Shi Qiwen: "Mr. Dian, how are the troops and horses in Yunnan organized? Are they worthy of fighting?"
Shi Qiwen stroked his beard somewhat proudly and said with a smile: "Prince, don't worry, I have ordered Zhang Hu and Yu Taibu who are stationed at Xuanfu Division in Qianya, He Jiuyi tribe stationed at Menglian Division, Zhao Yinxuan and Zhang Guoyong stationed at Mengding Prefecture,
Longshang ascended his troops, and Hu Yiqing, Zhao Desheng, and Lu Huang's troops stationed in Longchuan were training day and night. A total of 50,000 troops were deployed on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar, just waiting for your order to wipe out this small barbarian country."
"Good! I have heard for a long time that the Duke of Dian is the Tiger General of the Ming Dynasty, and he is indeed well-deserved," Zhu Ruoji praised, and then asked Yang Weizhi with a smile, "Yang Fuyuan, do you have enough military rations?"
"Prince, the Ministry of Revenue allocated a batch a few days ago, and there is still a batch in the Yunnan granary. The current military rations can support an army of 70,000 for half a year."
"Okay, let me give Yang Fuyuan a credit!"
The sixty-nine-year-old Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Wen Anzhi, was the oldest among the people present. He calmly said to Zhu Ruoji: "I have another happy event to report to the crown prince, Chief Meng Yang Sihua and Chief Man Mo.
Because Simian was dissatisfied with the excessive levies imposed by the Burmese people in Mengyang and Barbarian Mo, he was willing to lead his people to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay, okay! Mr. Wen Ge has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Ruoji smiled and said: "How about Gu Yi immediately leading the army to attack Meng Yang and Man Mo?"
"I respectfully obey the military orders of General Zhengnan!"
Inside the Yunnan Governor's Yamen, there is a strong sense of war.
