Ming Zuo

In the original history, King Mangda of Burma was killed by Mangbai in a coup.

It was the time when the Qing army went south, and the court of the remnant Ming Dynasty couldn't resist, so Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo and others had to retreat to Burma to live on.

At the beginning, because there were tens of thousands of Li Dingguo's troops on the periphery, the Burmese authorities were respectful to everyone in Nanming.

But later Li Dingguo lost consecutive battles and his strength was greatly damaged, and the Burmese began to be domineering.

After the Manchu Qing rule in the southwest was cured and stabilized, Wu Sangui decided to march into Burma to completely wipe out the remnant regime.

With the arrival of the Qing army, everyone in Myanmar felt tremendous pressure.

However, Mang Da has a good impression of Can Ming, and even adopts a supportive attitude.

But the rest of the people didn't want to offend Man Qing because of this, so as not to ruin the country and family.

Facing the general trend, Mangbai quickly gathered a large number of fans around him.

Mangbai's strength increased greatly, he quickly mobilized, rushed into the palace, and killed Mangda.

After Mangbai usurped the throne, he asked for congratulatory gifts from Emperor Yongli, Mu Tianbo and others on the grounds of his enthronement.

At that time, the court of the remnant Ming Dynasty had been living in exile for many years, and it was already at the end of its rope, so where could they get any congratulatory gifts?

Mu Tianbo replied to Burma, saying that there is no reason for the king of the Shang Kingdom to congratulate the ministers of Fanbang.

Mangbai found an excuse and quickly launched.

Dozens of officials below Mu Tianbo were killed, and then Burmese soldiers stormed Emperor Yongli's palace and imprisoned him.

After Wu Sangui entered Myanmar, he demanded Emperor Yongli from Myanmar under the prestige of a strong army. The Myanmar side did not dare to contend, so they had to hand over to him obediently.

Wu Sangui took Emperor Yongli back to Yunnan and hanged him with a bowstring.

This series of tragedies is known as the Curse of Water in history.

Now it is the National Defense Forces that have invaded Burma, and the situation of the Remnant Dynasty is even worse.

After all, they don't have Li Dingguo's tens of thousands of troops on the periphery to support them, and Myanmar has lost a large number of elites in Yunnan.

The fear of the empire in Myanmar has reached its peak.

When the South China Sea Fleet attacked near Yangon, various forces in Myanmar finally reached an agreement.

In order to avoid the danger of destroying the country, it is necessary to change course as soon as possible and rebuild with the empire.

So Mangbai came into the sight of those in power.

Mangbai has long been full of ambitions for the king's position, and now that he sees a powerful situation emerging, he will naturally not let it go.

"The lower officials have mobilized 5000 troops to deploy outside the capital."

"The guards at all the city gates are the confidantes of the subordinate officials, and they are guaranteed to be safe."

"The servants in the palace are there to help and guide the way."

"All the officials are willing to go to battle in person to help you."

Everyone is scrambling, because they are afraid that Mangbai still has doubts, and they are unwilling to launch.

Mangbai did have doubts.

"Recklessness is unpopular, so we can't be our king. It's just how the empire treats it, and we need to think about it in the long run."

Cha Wenda, Minister of Internal Affairs of Myanmar, took the initiative to invite Ying.

"The next officer is willing to go to the National Defense Forces and sincerely apologize."

Everyone understands that no matter how they struggle, the empire's view of Burma is the key.

Otherwise, they worked so hard to launch a coup and finally overthrew Mangda. In the end, the empire still wanted to destroy Myanmar. Didn't they do nothing?

The sky is big and the earth is big, and the attitude of the empire is the biggest.

At present, Myanmar Minister of Internal Affairs Cha Wenda led several important ministers all the way south to Yangon to pay a visit to Xu Xizhong, commander of the third detachment of the South China Sea Fleet.

Xu Xizhong was also taken aback when he heard that chaos was about to break out in Myanmar.

"The empire has no intention of eradicating Burma completely. The actions of Mang Da and others have helped us a lot."

Military and political Wan Sihua is happy to see the civil strife in Myanmar.

Xu Xizhong is much more treacherous.

"Right now, Mang Da and others are still worried about the attitude of the empire. This is the opportunity for us lions to speak up. How much meat can be bitten from Burma depends on whether we can scare them."

The chief officers of the third detachment laughed slyly, and quickly agreed on a set of methods.

When they met for the second time, Xu Xizhong sang red face.

"It's commendable for you to be able to recognize obedience and evil, and to be loyal to the empire again. The empire never hesitates to reward loyal subjects."

Hearing this, Cha Wenda and the others were all excited.

At this time, it was Wan Sihua's turn to come forward.

"However, you in Burma previously ignored dignity and blatantly sent troops to invade Yunnan and killed countless people in the empire. How can you easily forgive your crimes?"

Chawenda trembled and quickly bowed down.

"So that the general will know that every response to the reverse direction is an instruction from the false king Mangda, and the subordinates are powerless to resist."

Wan Sihua's face was as cold as iron.

"No matter how you say it, a big mistake has been made. If you want to forgive your sins and gain the support of the empire, you must show sincerity."

Is this a condition?

Cha Wenda and the others couldn't help but let out a long breath.

As long as you can talk about the conditions, it proves that there are talks.

What they fear most is not having anything to talk about.

"We have already realized the crime, as long as we can make up for it, we are willing to be punished."

This attitude is very good.

Xu Xizhong immediately began to raise conditions.

First of all, the empire supported the coup d'etat by Mangbai and his ministers.

Although it was an act of overthrowing a country, the third detachment did not need to report.

This condition is tantamount to giving everyone in Myanmar a reassurance.

And the next thing is the price that Myanmar needs to pay.

Myanmar needs to lease Rangoon to the empire, allowing the empire to build a port and garrison here.At the same time, a road connecting Yunnan to Yangon was built, and merchants from the empire were allowed to pass through.

Regarding the huge project and costing people and money that Myanmar is worried about, Xu Xizhong proposed that the capital and technology can be provided by the empire, and Myanmar is responsible for recruiting labor.

In addition, after the construction of roads and ports, Myanmar is allowed to enjoy a 30.00% tax share, and Burmese are allowed to do business in the port and enjoy the same treatment as imperial merchants.

As soon as this benefit came out, Cha Wenda didn't even need to go back to ask for instructions, he knew that it would be approved.

Although doing so will allow the empire's power to penetrate deep into Burma, the wealth it brings is enough to make people jealous.

As for the garrison, anyway, other countries in the entire Indochina Peninsula were also garrisoned by the empire. How could Myanmar be an exception?
On the contrary, if the imperial garrison is agreed, it will make the empire more at ease, and it will be beneficial to the security of Myanmar.

Of course, the empire will not be so tolerant to Burma.

The next condition is to cut the meat.

Myanmar needs to cede the Kachin area in the north to the empire as compensation for the invasion of Yunnan.

In addition, the Mawlamyine area was ceded to Siam, and the two countries re-demarcated the border, and no more disputes were allowed from then on.

This condition was very harsh, and made Cha Wenda and the others very painful.

But there is no way, under the situation of the imperial soldiers pressing down on the border, if you don't cut the flesh, you will end up destroying the country.

As for other terms, such as allowing the empire to establish an embassy in the capital Ava, imperial personnel enjoying consular jurisdiction in Burma, and the establishment and collection of tariffs all belong to the empire, etc. Chawenda and others did not care much.

After getting the attitude of the empire, they didn't dare to delay, and hurried back to discuss.

The future of Myanmar must be decided as soon as possible.
