Chapter 1611 Changes in Myanmar
"The conditions you mentioned are a bit too harsh. I'm afraid Myanmar will not accept them."

After the Burmese representative left, everyone in the third team had a discussion.

Wan Sihua was more kind-hearted, he compared his heart to his heart, and felt that Xu Xizhong was a little bit like a lion.

Xu Xizhong was smiling, as if he had done a trivial thing.

"Your Majesty once taught us that when you have the advantage, you must maximize your interests. Otherwise, your kindness will not be appreciated by the enemy. Another thing, if the conditions are not harsh, how can you make the Burmese entangled? Don't Forget, it takes time for the Governor to come over."

To negotiate with Burma on behalf of the empire, the third detachment can do it.

The corresponding plan was issued to each unit long before the action, but whether the final agreement can be signed or not, the third detachment does not have this power.

After all, they are the military, and according to the law, they cannot sign treaties with other countries on behalf of the country.

In the southern region, the only person with this power is Cao Wenheng, the governor of Nanjing.

It will definitely take a long time to rush from Nanjing to Myanmar.

In other words, Xu Xizhong's lion opened his mouth loudly, just to buy time for Cao Wenheng.

At the same time, taking advantage of this period of time, the various departments of the National Defense Forces will see if they can achieve new results.

If the pressure on Myanmar is strong enough, maybe his lion's mouth will become a reality?

The third detachment dispatched the Clippers to rush back to Nanjing and reported the situation to Cao Wenheng.

This is a big matter, and Cao Wenheng dare not delay.While reporting to the center and Nandu respectively, he quickly set off for Myanmar.

While still on the road, he sent someone to get in touch with Siam.

This time, the negotiations with Myanmar also involved Siam's content, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of the empire's promise to Siam.

On the Siam side, they were all ecstatic to learn that the empire had kept its promise and helped them win a large area of ​​land.

The King of Siam, Basseton, paid homage in the direction of the Central Plains in person, and at the same time ordered the construction of a sacred tower in the center of the capital, offering incense to the empire day and night from now on.

In addition, Basseton even ordered that Siam is fully open to the empire, and the people of the empire will not be subject to any interrogation when traveling to and from Siam, and will be treated as the upper-class citizens of the country.

The biggest benefit is that Siam organized a batch of 500 million catties of grain and presented it to the empire as a gift, which is regarded as a reward for the empire's move.

He also ordered Prime Minister Naskun to personally lead relevant officials to meet with Cao Wenheng to participate in negotiations with Myanmar.

When Cao Wenheng rushed to Myanmar, the National Defense Forces did not receive an order, and of course they would not stop.

On land, the [-]th Division on the northern line directly attacked Myitkyina after the rainy season ended.

In this way, there is no need to negotiate with Myanmar, and the empire directly controls this area.

The first division on the southern front divided into two groups, captured Mengya and Mengban respectively, and began to approach the core area of ​​Myanmar.

The court of the remnant Ming Dynasty was shocked three times a day, and now it has fled to Naoqiu, constantly urging the Burmese king Mangda to organize troops to stop the National Defense Forces.

On Ava's side, Mangda has completely lost the support of princes, ministers and nobles.

His battle plan was dismissed en masse, and he even began to lose control of the capital.

The faction headed by Mangbai is also in a state of desperation.

The conditions put forward by the empire are really not reconciled to them, and they are trying to figure out how to make the empire modify the conditions.

However, the speed at which the National Defense Forces marched far exceeded their expectations.

Maybe they haven't come up with a solution yet, the National Defense Forces have already broken through Ava and made Myanmar subjugate.

If that time really comes, are they still eligible to sit at the negotiating table?

"We can't wait any longer, otherwise, Burma will change hands. The empire is not a good person, and it is not certain that Burma will be annexed by a strong army."

After all, weak people couldn't hold on, and Mangbai became anxious.

He sent Cha Wenda and others to Yangon, hoping to reach an agreement on the current conditions.

Just get this done...

Mangbai's sinister eyes looked at the palace not far away.

Myanmar is barren and backward, so naturally there is no condition for road construction.

From Awa to Yangon, and then to the muddy road, Cha Wenda and others walked for ten days, and suffered a lot.

"My official Yang Guogong, the deputy minister of the cabinet, and Cao Wenheng, the governor of Nanjing, are fully responsible for the Burmese affairs."

Cao Wenheng has arrived.

The Prime Minister of Siam, Nasikun, stood beside him, pretending to be a tiger.

Siam had never been so majestic.

Hearing that the high-ranking officials of the empire came here, Cha Wenda hurriedly cheered up.

"The state is polite, about the conditions of the state..."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Cao Wenheng aggressively raised his hand to organize.

"The military talked with you before, but these soldiers didn't think carefully, the terms were not perfect, and left problems. Now you are officially notified that there are other terms to be added."

Are there conditions?

Cha Wenda's scalp was numb, but he could only listen attentively.

"From now on, when imperial goods enter Myanmar, Myanmar needs to cancel tariffs, and the rest of the tax rate must not be higher than that of domestic goods."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xizhong and the others were all dumbfounded.

They thought that the conditions they put forward before were ruthless enough, but now they realize that these civil servants' biting of talents is a deadly move!
Cha Wenda and the others stood there blankly, clearly feeling that countless wealth was being lost.

"Master Yang, wouldn't such a condition make my life in Myanmar worse than death? It is absolutely difficult for us to agree."

Cao Wenheng was not angry.

"You still have five days to negotiate, and the conditions for all negotiations are based on the situation on the battlefield five days later."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Xizhong.

"You are ready to attack Rangoon."

Xu Xizhong and other generals were all in high spirits, quickly took orders, and went down to prepare.

Cha Wenda and others wanted to cry but had no tears.

They didn't know that the conditions Cao Wenheng said now did not mean that they would be the same five days later.

If Rangoon is lost five days from now...

No, Yangon can't stop such a powerful army.

A map of Myanmar quickly appeared in Chawenda's mind. To the north of Yangon, Bago, Xingshida, Toungoo, Nay Pyi Taw...

All are prosperous places in Myanmar.

Most importantly, the capital of Ava is also not far away.

If we really have to wait five days, how much land is left in Myanmar?
At that time, what will Cao Wenheng's new conditions be?
He raised his head, turned his eyes, and saw countless National Defense Forces pushing artillery and starting to move towards Yangon, and suddenly fell to the ground.

"Long En of Shangguo, there is nothing wrong with going down to Guoguo. I implore Duke Yang to let Burma survive!"

In the face of powerful force, Myanmar finally succumbed.

On the same day, the empire signed a treaty with Burma.

Ten days later, on a very ordinary night, something unusual happened.

Mangbai led the long-planned princes and ministers and various soldiers to kill the palace, and slaughtered Mangda, the concubines in the harem, and the children of the royal family.

Mangbai made himself the new king of Burma and ordered the arrest of Emperor Yongli and others.

At the same time, the National Defense Forces began to build a port at the mouth of the Yangon River, and the Tenth Division took over Myitkyina.

Fu Zonglong supported a large number of officials from Yunnan to rule here.

The power of the empire approached the Brahmaputra River (Brahmaputra) basin from the southwest.

　Not today!
