Daming: I help my wife be the empress

The next day, Zhu Wei held a military aircraft meeting, and after discussing with a group of military ministers, decided to use troops against Dongyu.

This time, even several conservative military ministers headed by Yuan Jixian did not raise any objections.Because Toungoo had indeed invaded a lot of Ming territory, and it was less than a hundred years ago.

With the Ming Dynasty's national strength and military strength strong enough, regaining the lost land in the southwest is actually the same as recovering the lost land in Liaodong in the past, it is a matter of course.

These ministers assisted Aimee Zhu to complete this matter, and they were destined to be famous forever.

What's more, even the Minister of Military Aircraft in the cabinet knew the reality of Dongyu through the Dongyu information booklet that Zhu Yuxi distributed before the meeting.

Speaking of which, the rise of the Toungoo Kingdom is very similar to the rise of the Qing Dynasty, and even the time difference is only a few decades, and one is in the northeast of Daming, and the other is in the southwest.

In the eleventh century A.D., the Bagan dynasty was the first to unify the Burma region.

Later, the Bagan Dynasty was destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, and the Central Myanmar Province was established, which actually only included the northern Myanmar region of later generations.

Due to the hot weather in Myanmar, Dayuan's rule here was uncomfortable, so he changed the Myanmar-China Propaganda Department and the Military and Civilian Office to rule it.

In central and southern Myanmar, the Shan nationality rose up after the Yuan Dynasty's control weakened and established the Ava Kingdom.

Awa was established only four years earlier than Ming Dynasty (1364), and it only made the Burmese, Mon, Rakhine and other states that split from the Bagan Dynasty into its vassals, and did not truly unify Myanmar.

Therefore, its national strength cannot be compared with that of the original Bagan Dynasty.

After Da Ming replaced Da Yuan to set the world, the Ava Kingdom and other states were shocked by the news, fearing that they would be attacked by Da Ming, they sent envoys to pay tribute to Da Ming and became vassals of Da Ming.

Initially, the Ming Dynasty only inherited the Yuan system, and established the Myanmar-China Propaganda Department in northern Myanmar.

During the decades from Yongle to Orthodoxy, Daming's national strength was at its peak, and its control over the southwest was greatly enhanced.Myanmar, on the other hand, has become quite weak due to decades of war between the states.

The Ming Dynasty began to use troops against Burma, causing all the states to submit to the Ming Dynasty one after another, and became the Chieftain of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Zhengtong period, Tengchong Guard was established, under the jurisdiction of three propaganda and six comforts.

And when the Ming Dynasty ruled the most extensive area in Burma, involving the northern and central Burma of later generations, the chieftain had three announcements and ten comforts!
However, after the Orthodox Year, due to the civil fort change, the Ming Dynasty's national power and military strength declined sharply, and its control over the Burma region plummeted.

In the past, it was governed as a domestic chieftain, but after orthodoxy, it was regarded as a pure Jilong district.

Whether it is the generals of the Tengchong Guards, or the officials of the Yunnan Chief Envoy, they all try to make these Burmese chieftains fight each other, and by the way, gain their own benefits.

In the early years of Jiajing, Mang Jisui, the father of Mang Ruiti, the founder of the Toungoo Kingdom, was the Xuanwei envoy (chieftain) of the Burmese Xuanweisi, but was attacked and destroyed by the three chieftains of Mubang, Mengyang and Mengmi.

In this regard, Daming, who was already quite weak at the time, only verbally intervened and reprimanded, but did not take any actual actions.

As the youngest son of Mang Ji, Mang Ruiti escaped by chance, and went to the central and southern part of Burma to join his family of outsiders, the Toungoo Tribe.

Uncle Mang Ruiti had no son, and the Toungoo tribe was inherited by him.

Under the governance of Mangrui Ti, the Toungoo tribe became stronger and stronger. He united the Mon people, hired Portuguese soldiers, gradually annexed the states in central Myanmar, and finally defeated the Baigu Dynasty (Pago Kingdom), which was once powerful in the south, and unified Myanmar. Central and southern Myanmar.

After Mangruiti, the successor Mangyinglong (brother Mangruiti) was also a great talent and strategy. He conquered the Ava Dynasty in northern Myanmar, conquered the northern Burmese such as the Shan, and once again realized the entire Myanmar region after the Bagan Dynasty. unity.

After Mang Yinglong, his son Mang Yingli, the new king of Dongyu, also liked to fight abroad, which can be called militarism.He even sent a large army northward, coveting the Yunnan area of ​​Ming Dynasty.

It just so happened that another big traitor, Yue Feng, appeared on Daming's side at that time.

This person is from Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, other information is unknown, and he is suspected of failing the imperial examination.

Yue Feng was a businessman in Yunnan in his early years, and made friends with Longchuan (Ruili) Xuanfu Division Doshining, and gradually became the most powerful person under the Longchuan Xuanfu envoy, and many Xuanfu Division leaders made good friends with him.

After Mang Yingli invaded north, he was sent as an envoy by Duoshining to negotiate.

Duo Shining didn't know that Yue Feng had been deployed in the southwest for many years, and had made good friends with him as early as when he was a prince in Mangyingli.

Now that Mang Yingli wants to invade Daming, the two are even more colluding.

Therefore, after Yue Feng went on a diplomatic mission, he returned to Longchuan and persuaded Duoshining to surrender to Dongyu.

Duo Shining refused, so Yue Feng launched a rebellion, killed Duo Shining, took his mother, wife, and son, and dedicated more than [-] people from the Duo family to Mang Yingli—most of these people were brutally killed.

After Yue Feng established himself as Longchuan Propaganda Envoy, he also accepted the title of Prime Minister of Dongyu Kingdom, and led the soldiers and horses of Longchuan Xuanfu Division to become the vanguard of Dongyu's invasion of Ming Dynasty.

The Yuefeng rebels and the Dongyu army first divided their forces to raid the surrounding Ganya, Zhanda, and Nandian Xuanfusi.

Immediately, they attacked Yongchang Mansion and Guangyi Prefecture to the north, burned, killed and looted all the way, recruited and accepted rebels, and pushed forward to Menghua and Dali.

Originally, Daming had always regarded the southwestern border war as a battle between chieftains, and didn't care much about it.

At this time, knowing that the Dongyu army and the rebel army were approaching Dali, the Ming court realized that this was the invasion of the Toungoo country, not an attack among the chieftains.

At that time, it was the tenth year of Wanli, and the Ming Dynasty had just undergone Zhang Juzheng's reform, and its national and military strength had recovered.

After hearing the news, the Ming court dispatched troops and generals to defeat Dongyu Army and Yuefeng Rebel Army south of Yaoguan.

Among them, the most famous in later generations probably belonged to Liu Ting, who was a guerrilla at that time, and Deng Zilong, who was a general at that time.

There are also Li Cai, Gao Guochun, etc. Although they are not as famous as Deng and Liu in later generations, they also made great contributions in the two-year Ming and Toungoo Wars and became famous generals for a while.

In the later period of the war, the Ming army not only regained the lost ground one after another, but also chased into the territory of Burma and hit the city of Ava.

It is a pity that the Ming army's strength was exhausted at that time, and the weather began to become hot, and it was affected by the political situation in North Korea and China, so it had to withdraw its troops.

However, after experiencing this counterattack against Toungoo's invasion, Daming's control over the chieftains on the southwestern border has been strengthened a lot.

However, Mang Yingli suffered successive defeats in the invasion of Daming and Siam, which not only greatly depleted the national strength, but also his personal prestige plummeted.

Later, when Siam became independent, the Arakanese, under the help of the Portuguese, united with the Taungoo Marquis and other rebellions within the Bamar, which caused the Toungoo country to plummet.

Mang Yingli was captured and died in the rebellion, and Dongyu almost destroyed the country.

However, at the critical moment, King Liangyuan, the youngest son of Mang Yinglong, stepped forward to save Dongyu from the decline.It centered on "Ava", known as the granary of northern Myanmar, and kept half of Upper Myanmar.

Later, his successor, Anabilon, regained Lower Burma, expelled the Portuguese colonists, and unified Burma again.

His successor Thalom, who has been in power for about 20 years, has adopted a policy of recuperation and is committed to the recovery and development of the domestic economy, which has restored Taungoo's national strength.

After that, there is the current King Mangda of Toungoo.

This person succeeded to the throne in the fourth year of Zhaowu (1648). He was mediocre and keen on enjoying himself. He didn't realize that Toungoo had all kinds of worries under the "prosperous age".

Therefore, after Sun Kewang united with some Mon leaders who had long been dissatisfied with the oppressive rule of the Burmese, it was easy to set off another rebellion in Toungoo.

According to the latest news from the Fusi of Jinyiwei North Town, some leaders of the Shan and Rakhine ethnic groups also joined in, causing the scale of the rebellion to expand rapidly.

Under such circumstances, even if it is not easy for Da Ming to attack Toungoo, it is not difficult.

Perhaps for the Ming army, the hot local weather was actually a bigger "enemy" than the Taungoo army and the rebel army.

Therefore, several ministers of military affairs first negotiated and set the time for dispatching troops, which would be after the autumn harvest this autumn.

After that, it was time to discuss the candidates for the leading general and other generals.

First more.

Correct the typo later.
