"Your Majesty, are you going to join the Ming Dynasty?" One of Mingisi's guards shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, although we lost more than 26,000 people yesterday, we still have more than 40,000 people and strong camps.
You can’t surrender now, Your Majesty!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we cannot surrender now. Your Majesty, I will tell the truth at this time. Although yesterday's battle showed that the Ming army is stronger than our Ava army, it is not much stronger. But yesterday because of
We lost too many soldiers at the beginning, so in the end we suffered many more casualties than the Ming army."
"In this way, the Ming army will most likely despise our army. Your Majesty, you will send people today to tell the people of the Ming Dynasty to surrender. They will not take our army seriously. The appointment of chieftain as you expected, your Majesty, may not be
It can be done." Magic Club said.
The other generals also tried to persuade them. But Mingisfu Xiu waved his hand to silence them and said: "What you said makes sense, but I also have my reasons."
"From yesterday's battle, we can see that the commander of the Ming army is very capable, and his command and dispatch are both light and important. Even if the battle continues, it will be difficult to win from the Ming army. It will only increase casualties and increase the Ming army's resentment towards our army.
"
"Besides, since the commander-in-chief of the Ming Army is a wise man, he must be able to see that the initial casualties of our army were all caused by the encounter with firearms that had never been encountered before, rather than the fault of our army's command, and he would not be too harsh on our army.
contempt."
"Third," Mingjis Fuxiu looked around: "Does any of you can deal with the Ming army's gunpowder weapons? Whether it is cannons or later spears. We have heard before that the Indian army also uses cannons, but because of the cannons
It’s too expensive and I’ve never bought it before. Which of you is sure you can handle it?”
"There is also the Ming army's disturbing tactics last night, which used artillery to fire at regular intervals. How do you deal with it? This does not just make our army sleepless, it can actually kill people! Every time a cannonball hits the camp
Several people inside have died, making the whole army unable to settle down. Do you have any way to deal with it?" Mingjis Fuxiu finally said.
In fact, the main reason that made Mingis decide to surrender today was the cannon. Although only five shells were fired last night, one of them happened to hit near his camp!
It’s not that Mingjis Fashiu has never been on the battlefield, and it’s not that he has never been on the battlefield, and it’s not that he has never been in danger of losing his life, but when he walked out of the camp and looked at the soldiers who were directly smashed into meat patties by artillery shells, he felt a huge sense of powerlessness in his heart. Faced with this, he felt extremely powerless.
No matter how high your status is, it will be in vain if you have bad luck.
None of them spoke. They just saw gunpowder weapons with their own eyes yesterday, how could they come up with a way to deal with them now?
Seeing that they no longer had any objections, Mingjishu Xiu said: "Since you all have no objections, I will immediately send people to contact the Ming Dynasty to discuss the matter of surrender."
…
…
Zhu Chu was taken aback and immediately woke up. He opened his eyes and said, "What? Mingjishuaxiu surrendered now? Surrendered because he was frightened by the cannons pulled by several horses last night?"
"I also find it incredible, but the person who was seen by our sentry outside was coming out of the Ava Army camp. Besides, there is no need for Mingjishuaxiu to pretend to surrender. When we discussed the surrender, although I didn't know how to fight,
He will not allow his army to retreat. He is not stationed in the city now, and the food will be eaten up sooner or later." Mu Ang also said in surprise.
The two discussed for a while with no result. Zhu Ming said: "Let's not discuss why he surrendered. Let's take a look at his conditions."
Mu Ang took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhu Zhen and said: "They have many conditions, but the most important one is to let him be the chieftain in Bagan."
Zhu Ming looked at it and said with a smile: "The conditions are not much different from what we expected."
"This is much worse. Bagan City was the capital of the previous country here in Myanmar. It was also an important town after being occupied by Ava. Its city is no worse than Ava City. If it is allowed to occupy Bagan, it will be a big problem in the future."
"Besides, we plan to let Narota serve as chieftain instead of Minggisfaxiu continuing to be the chieftain. This is also very important. Minggisfaxiu has been the king for many years and has strong control over his subordinates. Although Narota has always been the eldest prince,
He also led troops to fight, but after all, he is not as good as Mingjis Fashiu, and he can barely resist the Pegu people at most; and our goal is to let him resist the Pegu people, as long as we achieve the goal." Mu Ang said.
"Then don't accept his conditions, tell them our conditions, and if you don't accept them, continue fighting." Zhu Ming said.
"I think so too. If he doesn't accept our conditions now, I plan to keep only 10,000 people in Ava City and take the remaining nearly 90,000 troops out of the city. To the north of the Ava Army Station is the Great Jinsha River (
The Irrawaddy River) cannot be surrounded, and large camps are set up on the other three sides to besiege them, and cannons are used from time to time until they can no longer hold on." Mu Ang said.
"You are really bad." Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "I'll just do what you say."
…
…
"Your Majesty, the conditions of the Ming Dynasty are too harsh. They don't even give Bagan City, but only Ren'an Qiang City and the places to the south." Someone said.
"That's right, they even asked the king to abdicate. The Ming Dynasty didn't take us seriously at all. Let's stop talking and start fighting." Someone else said.
"Your Majesty, this condition is indeed a bit harsh, but we are not sure about fighting, so we should continue to talk with the people of the Ming Kingdom. I think it is impossible for the Ming Kingdom to leave Bagan City to the king, but the king must strive for the position of chieftain." said the Magic Club.
.
"That is, if the king is not old yet, how can it be the turn of the prince to succeed to the throne?" someone said.
Mingjis Fashiu himself was unwilling to lose his position as chieftain. Although he was already old and knew that he would give up his position sooner or later, he was still unwilling to give up his position like this.
But the Magic Club said in his heart: 'It's broken.' His goal was to preserve the original Ava regime, not Mingisfaxiu's throne. He supported Mingisfaxiu because he felt that Narota's succession would definitely not convince everyone.
Xiu served as chieftain. If the Ming Dynasty refused to give in, he thought he could make concessions.
But now this has obviously turned into a political struggle for the highest position of power, and he dare not mention allowing Narota to take over the position.
'I wonder how many of my sons will die because of this.' Mana would think.
Afterwards, the new conditions of Mingjis Fuxiu were sent to the Ming army's camp, insisting that Mingjis Fuxiu must be appointed chieftain.
Mu Ang didn't talk nonsense to him, and immediately ordered the establishment of two other camps to surround the Ava army.
After a few days of siege, Minggis Fuxiu discovered the food problem and sent envoys to communicate with the Ming army. He canceled all other conditions that the Ming Dynasty did not accept and only asked Minggis Fuxiu to serve as chieftain.
Mu Ang still refused and continued the siege. And Li Guan also came up with a trick. Every day during the day, the people of Ava City who had family members in the Ava Army went to the camp to recruit surrender. This caused the Ava Army's morale to fluctuate, and some even secretly
He ran out of the camp and surrendered.
In this situation of internal and external difficulties, Mingjisfuxiu had no choice but to agree to all the conditions of the Ming Dynasty.
