open sea

Chapter 531
The battle in Baigucheng was over. Chen Mu ordered the banner army to take Chen An to identify more than [-] surrendered soldiers and thousands of captives, but no trace of Mang Yingli was found.

The Banner Army continued to search among the ruined walls with the stabbed bird guns, but Chen Mu thought that the little Burmese prince had probably fled outside the city, but now it was a matter of his mind whether he could catch Mang Yingli or not. It doesn't matter anymore, he turned around and issued an order to escort Chen An to Guangxi to be executed by the government according to the law.

The military affairs were all handed over to Deng Zilong and Bai Yuanjie, who accompanied Mingfen for a walk in the palace.

"Oh, the handsome man's strict military appearance is really worthy of the last general leading the army to come here uninvited!"

Meng Shao's trembling golden helmet with two long tassels was untied and held in the servant's hands when Lin Xiao brought it to Chen Mu. Now he wears a jade ring hair scarf on his head, and his bare-shoulder war robe pinches the gold thread. Silver thread, a pair of cowhide combat boots under one step, and a mouthful of 'Bian Bi Mo Jiang', looking more like a Ming Dynasty general than Chen Mu wearing a breastplate.

"The battle situation is really urgent. I heard that the Tian Army came from Yunnan to attack Mang Yinglong three times and sent six consolations. The last general immediately raised troops to respond to the Tian Army and blocked the pass to cut off the back of Toungoo. However, the Tian Army was worried that it would end up making plans with Brother Nabuchen Fake surrender, Marshal Yu refuses to join forces with me."

Meng Shao didn't stumble when he said such tongue-twister words, he beat his chest and stamped his feet very sadly, and said: "Brother has left spies in our army again, which caused the soldiers to rebel and lose the pass. Hearing the news that the Imperial Heavenly Army had broken through Bagu brought by the refugees from Beiben, the last general took advantage of the situation and ran southward, stopping Dongyu's army in the north of Mount Bagu, and came here to join the commander in chief!"

As he said that, Meng Shao clasped his fists together, opened his hands and said, "Guangfu Guochao made three announcements and six congratulations!"

Chen Mu was flattered. This was probably the most energetic star he had ever seen in his life. He felt that normal people couldn't even pretend to be so sincere.

As for the generals under him, they sometimes talk about 'Da Ming', but look at this fierce spoon, although the name is weird, but no matter how he behaves or how he behaves, he is a fan of Da Ming, and he can put on a show, but How to pretend this inadvertent words?
They never mentioned the word Daming from the beginning to the end, either the country or the imperial court, and never mentioned my Myanmar, only said that he was Dongyu, and picked himself clean!

Chen Mu looked at the handsome golden helmet held by Meng Shao's servant, and smiled at him: "Since your Excellency has violated the rules, why do you call yourself a general?"

Meng Shao looked back at the golden helmet, his face was a little dazed, and he said in surprise: "Difficult, Commander, don't the generals of the two capitals and the thirteen provinces wear such pockets? It shouldn't be, that's what it says in "Water Margin" Yes, that's right!"

After speaking, Meng Shao smiled embarrassedly again, and said to Chen Mu: "The imperial court has not issued the slightest seal to the general, and I am no more than a commoner. I am afraid that the general will also violate the rules, but he has brought more than ten thousand elites. If you come here to seek refuge bravely, Guochao must always be sympathetic to the contemptuous feelings of the border, and will not convict me, right?"

"Actually, the last general defected to the Heavenly Army for nothing else. First, to clear my father's grievances. My father never thought of rebelling against the court. It was all Mang Yinglong's own desires that could not be filled; second, he hoped that the court would issue a golden letter to the last general— —San Xuan Liu Wei has not received the news of the imperial court changing the seal for a long time, and if things go on like this, they will not be able to suppress the subordinate chieftain, otherwise, how can Xiao Xiao jumping beams dare to rebel against the imperial court?"

"That Mang Yinglong is just my father's nephew, how can He De be able to lead Liuwei, even more disrespectful to the court, he privately appointed his son Mang Yingli as the prince, and wants to accept the three propagandas and Liuwei as the land of his family from generation to generation, how can this be so? Reasonable, handsome, do you think so!"

Chen Mu almost laughed out loud, he understood, it was still an old drama of fighting for power and gain and causing brothers to fight each other, Meng Shao could not fight against Mang Yinglong on his own, if there were no accidents, he might be under the shadow of Mang Yinglong for the rest of his life, but Now catching up with the attack of the Ming army, you have to jump at anything you say.

Chen Erye nodded with a smile. He has always liked to laugh. The smile is a very deceptive expression, but he really finds it interesting to see Meng Shao, whether it is for him or the appearance of this person. The impact on his strategy is quite gratifying.

He asked: "The imperial court has not had the virtue of governance and restraint for the three propagandas and six consolations these years. Don't you hate it? Originally under Mang Yinglong's rule, you may not be able to be crowned king and marquis. Why do you want to be a chieftain?" ?”

"hatred!"

Meng Shao answered bluntly, clenched his fists and said: "The final general hates the country's imperial court for the troubles of the South and the North, so he can't spare his hands to deal with three propagandas and six comforts, otherwise it wouldn't be the result today. My father was hunted down back then. When I entered Dongyu, I often said that if the heavenly army came to help, I would not end up in such a field, and I also hated the officials in Yunnan and Yunnan for their greed and dereliction of duty, and they did not distinguish between good and evil."

"The most irritating thing is that Mang Yinglong and his son still want to use those Portuguese from the West as instructors and drill elites to make their spear formations before I proclaim and comfort them. Beat it to pieces." Meng Shao clapped his hands together, and said: "Don't say they are overseas small barbarians, just one point, they have no good intentions, if the court is not magnanimous, benevolent, the general will not let them practice the army."

Chen Mu laughed, and when he heard Chen Mu's laughter, Meng Shao, who had always been full of sternness, became more serious, and said: "Don't laugh at me, Commander, be careful, they have different clothes and looks from me, and they even go back and forth to spy on them. The country has been destroyed, and they came across the ocean, how could it be just for business."

"The last general's heart towards the court is not just because he respects the benevolence and righteousness of the country. As the commander-in-chief said, if Mang Yinglong can rule all over the country, he will definitely not give me the title of king, but he can be an Avahou, but he is more than In this way, he intends to declare war on the imperial court and intends to attack Yunnan, which will be carefully considered in the end."

"The two phases are at war, and the court's military in Yunnan has been sluggish for a long time. Dongyu's troops are in full swing, but there is no way to win for a while, but there is no reason to win the world. There is no permanent victory and there will always be defeat; His son Mang Yingli is in the Eight Hundred Xuanwei Division, but I, Ava, face the Yunnan Bingfeng directly, and if he wants to rebel against the court, he wants to use the court's sword to kill me."

"The last general does not want to and is determined not to rebel against the imperial court. Even if he joins forces with the imperial court and is not trusted, Yunnan will not grant me a king or marquis after the war. Even if I am a general under the command of a general, it is impossible. Wei is always useful as the last general, and being able to be a chieftain and keep peace forever is all my heart... What did you say, Commander?"

He said 'maybe'.

Chen Mu nodded with a smile and said: "I said it's possible, do you have a son, to defeat Mang Yinglong for the court, I don't know if the court will set up native officials here, if there are native officials, your son will be a consolation envoy ;If there are no local officials, then you can have more sons and become magistrates; when the court is using troops, you come with me, and I will make you a real general of the Ming Dynasty, and rely on your ability to make you a marquis!"
