The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 875
Lu Chao smiled wryly, this is different, Weichen joined the army at the age of 16.

But the emperor scolded him, and finally agreed to use money to support Ding Ye.

And Lu Chao also saw Ding Ye's progress, he finally decided to buy in place, expressing that he accepted Qian Zhicai's greed in his heart, and he temporarily compromised.

People must learn to compromise, and when necessary, learn to compromise.

How many times did Emperor Ding Yi compromise in his life?
He recognized Zhang as his father, expressed his loyalty to Yuan Chonghuan, expressed his loyalty to Chongzhen, made friends with Gao Qiqian, and sent a letter of surrender to Li Zicheng.

Only those who know how to bow their heads temporarily will have the opportunity to hold their heads high in the future.

In April, Lu Chao returned to the capital and reported to Ding Yi that Xu Shengfeng, who was next to Ding Ye, had a violent personality and was a troll. When he was in the Ministry of Finance, he wanted to hit the officials of the Ministry of Finance. Is it better to transfer away?

Ding Yi thought for a while, and slowly said: "When I was young, I often compromised because I wanted to live and live with my brothers."

"A man who bows his head and compromises for his life and his family, I don't feel ashamed."

Lu Chao's expression became weird, and he suddenly realized that he was not as smart as the Holy Spirit.

"Ding Ye is still young, and there is no pressure in life. At most, he failed to control the river. It is not a big mistake, and he can do it all over again."

"I don't think it matters whether he compromises or not."

"There should be all kinds of people around him, too."

"Some people may help him, while others may harm him. He has to judge by himself and make the right choice. This is the mature standard for a boy to become a man."

"It's not that you let him sleep with He Xiaohua, or he has matured."

Lu Chao laughed: "My humble minister dares to say that although the eldest prince is smarter than the emperor, he is far inferior to the emperor in this aspect."

Ding Yi had a black line on his face: "Are you praising me or hurting me?"

Lu Chao chuckled secretly.
-
In April of the sixth year of Rende.

The capital of Taungoo Dynasty, Ava City.

This used to be the capital of the Ava Dynasty, which was destroyed by the Toungoo Dynasty in 1555. In 1635, the Toungoo Dynasty moved the capital to Awa from Baigu.

The current king of the Toungoo Dynasty is Mang Da (Ping Dali).

Before Pindaril succeeded to the throne, the Toungoo Dynasty was still very powerful, and it made two expeditions to Siam. After the middle of the 16th century AD, protracted wars broke out between the once prosperous Siamese Ayutthaya and the Toungoo Dynasty, and the border was often caught in chaos. Among them, Lan Natai, a vassal state in the north, sometimes had to surrender to Toungoo.

When Taungoo moved its capital to Ava, it should be the most powerful period in Taungoo's history.

Entering the era of Ping Dali, the national strength of the Toungoo Dynasty faintly weakened, and ushered in a terrible neighbor, the Dagan Dynasty.

At the beginning of April, Pindarley sat on the throne with a bad face.

The surrounding officials also looked terrified and shocked.

In the middle of their main hall are the Siamese who fled here, the king of the Ayutthaya dynasty, Prasha Thong, and his son Zhao Fachai.

The Ayutthaya Dynasty is the longest dynasty in the history of Siam. It has gone through more than 400 years. Except for the Zhou Dynasty in China, no other dynasty can match it.

Prashathong is the 26th generation king of the Ayutthaya dynasty. He took power by seizing power. After he took power, he first conquered the kingdom of Cambodia next door, and then began to do business with the Dutch.

Originally, the Ayutthaya dynasty vaguely saw the hope of ZTE in his hands. If the Dagan army had not entered the Ayutthaya dynasty, they would not be destroyed until 1767.

Historically, the capital of the Ayutthaya Dynasty was captured by the Toungoo Dynasty in 1767, and all the palaces, Buddhist temples, city gates, and houses in the city were burned down and turned into ruins.After the destruction of Ayutthaya, the Siamese moved to Bangkok, so the city of Ayutthaya became a wilderness with no one and disappeared in the long river of history.

But now Dagan's army has entered Ayutthaya, and the Ayutthaya dynasty was terminated early after more than 300 years.

"The army of Qianren is boundless, and the number is countless. They are elite soldiers and horses, with sharp firearms. The power of the artillery far surpasses that of the Dutch. Even the Dutch were defeated by them and forced to return to Europe. Dear King Mangda, please Be careful, we have already suffered from it."

Ba Shatong cried out to Ping Dali, making Gan Ren extremely terrifying.

In fact, from the time when He Liangwu, the Southwest Commander of Dagan, entered the territory of the Ayutthaya Dynasty, their entire dynasty failed after only one month of resistance.

At its peak, the Ayutthaya Dynasty had only about 100 million people.

Ding Yi sent 30 cavalry and [-] auxiliary soldiers at a time, claiming to be a [-] army. The Ayutthaya Dynasty's face changed when they heard about it, and how could they resist it.

In August last year, Ba Shatong mobilized [-] troops from all over the country to fight He Liangwu.

The dry army fired a cannon and directly smashed their entire army.

He Liangwu's [-] troops were equipped with the latest rifled guns, but they had no chance to show their strength, and just used a large number of artillery to destroy Bashatong's troops.

The elephant soldiers that Bashatong was proud of suffered heavy casualties and turned back to attack their own army.

"The fiasco is still a trivial matter. The army is extremely cruel, razing everything and destroying everything. Our Ayutthaya dynasty has completely perished."

Prashatong cried bitterly at the end.

In his mouth, the dry army is like locusts, destroying and plundering everything they pass by.

After the Ayutthaya city was breached, it was almost the same as when Toungoo attacked them in history. Fortunately, even the city of Toungoo was razed, and the army did not move the city, but all the property in the city, even those with a little value, were all destroyed. take away.

"The army even cut off the ivory from the statues in our royal city and took them away." Basha Tong's son Zhao Fachai said through gritted teeth.

These cadres are like reincarnated poor ghosts, crazy, grabbing whatever they see.

There is a Buddha statue in the royal city that is made of gold, but it is extremely heavy. It is more than ten feet high and cannot be taken away. It has a history of hundreds of years in the Ayutthaya Dynasty and is extremely noble.

What is expensive about this thing is not gold, but its historical heritage and cultural and artistic value.

It's good for the army. When they saw that the Buddha statues were too heavy and too big to take away, they were divided into pieces and taken away.

Bashatong vomited blood and fainted when he heard it.

"They also moved people in and occupied our city."

"Relocate our Ayutthaya dynasty people to other places, wild places overseas."

"Now the Gan army occupies all of our territory. After they consolidate their rule, they will inevitably attack the Toungoo Dynasty."

After hearing this, Pindari's face turned even darker. He didn't realize that Prashatong was making alarmist remarks.

After Ganren arrived in Southeast Asia, he successively destroyed Annan, and then destroyed the Kingdom of Cambodia and the Canglan Dynasty.

Then after one or two years of consolidation in the local area, it went south to destroy Aceh, drove away the Dutch, conquered various forces such as Johor and Jambi, and completely unified the entire Southeast Asia.

After resting for less than a year, they started to attack the Ayutthaya dynasty again, and broke through the Ayutthaya royal city in just one month, and occupied the entire territory of Ayutthaya in less than half a year.

Now the Gan people are immigrating, consolidating local rule.

Ping Dali can imagine that at most half a year to a year later, Qianren's soldiers will enter their Toungoo Dynasty.

"Your Majesty." At this time, a courtier took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "If you are a wolf with ambition to annex countries, you should immediately mobilize the whole country's troops and horses to resist to the death."

Pin Dali hadn't spoken yet, but Bashatong called out, "Your country's power is definitely not an opponent."

"You can't let the Gan people defeat each other. You should unite with other dynasties and fight together."

Some people in the court immediately agreed: "Send a word to the Mughal Empire and invite them to send troops together."

"We also need to contact the Persians (Safavid Empire). If they send troops, they will definitely be able to eliminate Qianren."

As mentioned earlier, to the west of Taungoo is the current powerful Mughal Empire. (India and Bangladesh region)
The Mughal Empire is now in its heyday, and even the Toungoo Dynasty is very jealous and afraid of it. They do not hesitate to lower their posture and dare not easily anger them.

The Safavid Empire, which is to the west of the Mughal Empire, is also relatively strong now.

If the two empires join forces, it is estimated that no one will do anything.

Of course, if it weren't for the stronger Safavid Empire, it is estimated that the Mughal Empire would have wiped out Toungoo long ago.

On the same day, after the unanimous agreement of the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty, Pindari decided to send envoys to the Mughal Empire and the Safavid Empire, requesting their alliance to send troops to jointly resist the Eastern Daqian.

At the same time, he asked Ba Shatong how many soldiers and horses he had under his command.

Bashatong said that less than 20 remnants were brought out, and about [-] people fled.

In history, the Taungoo Dynasty conquered Siam twice, and fought against the Ayutthaya Dynasty for many years. They were once sworn enemies.

But now they have to join forces to fight against the great powers in the East.

Ten days later, not long after their envoys set off, the Dagan sent a letter from the descendant of the Ayutthaya dynasty.

Ask Toungoo to hand over the members of the royal family of Prashatong and send the people of the Ayutthaya dynasty back to the country.

Ping Dali responded and agreed, but deliberately delayed the time.

At the same time, he mobilized all kinds of troops in the country, with [-] soldiers and horses from all over the country, preparing to fight to the death with Ganren.

In early May, messengers from the Taungoo Dynasty came to the capital of the Mughal Empire.

The Mughal Empire was a feudal autocratic dynasty established in India by Babur, a descendant of the Turkic Mongol Timur.

Timur Empire is an empire established in 1370 by Timur, a Mongolian aristocrat in West Chagatai in Central Asia.The capital was originally Balihei, and later moved to Samarkand and Herat.

From 1370 to 1390, due to the strength of the Ming army and the continuous northern expedition, Timur also had to pay tribute, so Timur's lifelong dream was to dissolve this vassal relationship.

Timur was a person who wanted to reproduce the great cause of Genghis Khan. He prepared to conquer the Ming Dynasty in 1404, but finally gave up because of illness and died on the way.

After Timur's death, his son Shah Ruh changed his father's policy of being hostile to China, and had frequent political and economic exchanges with the Ming Dynasty. In 1409, Shah Ruh sent a mission to Nanjing, presenting leopards, lions and other gifts.The two sides resumed the "suzerain-vassal" relationship and had friendly exchanges.

During the Chenghua and Hongzhi years of the Ming Dynasty, the Samarkand envoys paid tribute to lions by land and returned to China by sea, and the process of paying tribute by sea and the reaction of the Ming court.On the surface, this is a dispute between the emperor, eunuchs, and government officials over tribute lions and tribute roads, but it actually reflects how the Ming Dynasty adjusted its tribute policy in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, especially during the Hongzhi period.Due to the strong opposition of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, the Laihuagong Road of the Timur Dynasty returned to the land route.The Ming Dynasty also lost the opportunity to strengthen sea trade, leaving a gap for the Portuguese to occupy Managa in the future.
