Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 437
The 20-strong army of the Ming army Chen Bing on the China-Myanmar border, the king of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo of Yunnan, served as the vanguard, and the three major battalions of Tusi Battalion, Zhongzhen Battalion, and Camel Pao Battalion were under his command temporarily.

Lin Yi personally commanded the Chinese army, stationed on the border of Yunnan, and gave an ultimatum to the king of Myanmar.

Seeing that there was no response, Mu Tianbo then personally led six or seven thousand Ming troops into Burma.

The camel artillery team cooperated with the white-armed soldiers to attack the fortifications, and the chieftain army followed behind. Thousands of Ming troops, like an invincible sharp knife, penetrated directly into the border of Myanmar from the border of Yunnan.

On the first day, the Ming army advanced the front line by more than 160 miles and captured more than a dozen fortified cities.

The Burmese army shook...

Of course, the saddest person at this time was Sun Kewang.

Of course, Sun Kewang's escape career began when Dieyun Peak was breached.The cunning rabbit still has three caves, let alone Sun Kewang?

After the defeat in Chengdu, he and Mu Tianbo parted ways. His strength was too weak and he had no choice but to take the road of being the king of the mountain. Because although Daming is big now, there is no room for them. It is different from the Chongzhen era. At least they These thieves can still move around. They can’t go to Shanxi from Shaanxi, Henan from Shanxi, Hubei and Guangdong, and then go back to Sichuan and go around in circles with the Ming. Into the mountains.

The Dieyun Peak he took a fancy to is not only dangerous, but also has a secret path on this mountain that allows him to advance and retreat, because he knows that his vitality is seriously injured now, because when the Ming army's troops arrived, the army sealed off the mountain. Mountain, he had to prepare himself for a retreat.

When tens of thousands of Ming troops invaded the stronghold, Sun Kewang saw that the situation was over. He quietly led four or five hundred trusted soldiers, all of them cavalry, and fled through the secret road, leaving the other soldiers alone.

When Gao Guiying and Li Yan discovered the secret road, Sun Kewang had already escaped for dozens of miles with Chen's defeated generals. After leaving the secret road, they went to the outside of the mountain. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, so of course the Ming army could not catch them.

Sun Kewang led four or five hundred remnants of the defeated generals, afraid of getting into the pockets of the Ming army and being wrapped in dumplings, because this time their strength was even weaker, and they were so weak that they dared not walk on the road, drill into the mountains, or walk in the wilderness, and they were lying on the ground. Night out, like a mouse, simply lived a life without seeing the sun, after several twists and turns.

But even so, they took the opportunity to loot several villages.

Sun Kewang breathed a sigh of relief when he finally got out of Ming Dynasty's jurisdiction and entered the Burmese border, but they were too embarrassed, there were only a few horses left out of hundreds of war horses, and they couldn't take care of their lives, let alone war horses?

Most of the war horses died of illness, some died of exhaustion, some were forced to kill and eat, and some were sold. When he returned to the Burmese king city again, he found that the Burmese king was obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

This is a world of difference, especially when Mangbai and Mangda were fighting for the throne, Sun Kewang was almost at home when he arrived at Mangbai's place, but this time, the Burmese king didn't pick up the connection and let them enter the city by themselves Mangbai didn't even see him, he just arranged them into several courtyards and sent people to entertain them like they were staying in a hotel.

The difference from staying in a hotel is that Sun Kewang and the others don't have to pay for it themselves, and Mangbai pays for them, that's all.

Originally, he came here to take refuge, and even wanted to borrow some money, food and soldiers. He didn't plan to live here for a long time, but now his heart is cold. goods.

"Hey, there are human beings, and the tea will be cold when people leave! It's the same in all ages..." Sun Kewang felt very uncomfortable, and felt quite emotional.

But in any case, now there is a place to stay. The king of Myanmar is not too heartless, he took them in and did not turn them away. After sleeping soundly, he no longer needs to be hungry and has enough food to eat. Thinking about this, he will feel a little comforted, but isn’t this coming to Burma to beg for food and become a beggar?How can it be embarrassing that his majestic Daxi Pingdong King has been reduced to this point? !
Sun Kewang had the deepest feeling in this defeat. He lamented that life is impermanent and the world is like white clouds and dogs.

After they stabilized, Sun Kewang still had a glimmer of hope, hoping to see the King of Burma once, to reminisce about the old days, and to strengthen his relationship. On this day, King Mangbai of Burma finally came to see him, but he did not come alone, but with an army. Yes, countless Burmas surround this place.

Sun Kewang was taken aback for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but he still pretended to be calm and saluted him: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Mang's pale face sank like water, "General Sun, the Great Ming Army Supervisor sent 20 soldiers for the sake of the general. I'm sorry for the general alone, come and take them all for me!"

When the King of Burma gave an order, the soldiers under his command were like wolves and tigers. They knocked Sun Kewang and others to the ground, and tied them tightly.

At this time, although Sun Kewang and the others have martial arts skills and have killed people without blinking an eye, no one dared to resist, because they all understand the reason why people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Resistance at this time is absolutely futile and will only speed up their progress. Death is of no use at all.

But Sun Kewang would not just admit it, and asked the King of Burma face to face, "Did your Majesty forget about the battle for the throne, and actually want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and be such an unrighteous person?"

"Shut up!" Mangbai sternly shouted, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, "That incident has already been reciprocated, and the invincible elephant army was driven by you, lobbying the king of Yunnan to cooperate with you, but unfortunately you lost all your money, no one can blame you Who did you win? Besides, the general has nowhere to go, so it would be unfair for Gu to take him in again? The relationship between Gu and the general has already been settled, don't mention it again."

Sun Kewang finally understood that all of these were just excuses, the key reason was that Lin Yi's soldiers were suppressing the situation, and the little Burmese soldiers were few, so how could they be the opponent of the Ming army? Fighting, the only way is to sacrifice them to make a deal to please Daming. How deep is the emperor's power?

It seems that I really came in the wrong place. Mu Tianbo predicted this point long ago, but unfortunately he didn't adopt it.

He also thought of Lin Yi, who was ruthless enough to chase him overseas!
Mangbai personally escorted him, and four or five hundred people lined up in a long line like captives, or like livestock being driven to a slaughterhouse.

Sun Kewang's heart was even worse. When he became angry from embarrassment, he didn't pour out curses.

The king of Burma was furious, and ordered the soldiers to pull Sun Kewang's tongue. Now Sun Kewang's mouth was full of blood and he could not scold anymore, but he still kept humming. He glared at Mangbai, but Mangbai ignored him and ordered others to watch him He can't let him run away, let alone die, and then personally escort these people to see Ji Dong.

At this time, Lin Yi's army had reached only a few tens of miles away from his royal city. It took less than four days for the Ming army to start the war from the border. Tens of thousands of Burmese and their defense projects were under the attack of the Ming army. , is simply vulnerable.

In fact, on the second day after the Ming army started the war, King Myanmar made up his mind...

Thirty miles away from the north city of the Burmese king's city, there are all Ming's troops. The 20 army is like a mountain of soldiers, with flags flying, swords and guns dazzling, and nearly a thousand camel guns lined up neatly.

Look at the white flags all over the city of Burma, which is a signal of truce and surrender.

Near noon, the gates of the city were wide open, and a Burmese army marched out of the city and lined up near the Ming army. Sun Kewang and other 500 people were tied up like zongzi, and were guarded by the Burmese army.

At this time, King Myanmar was surrounded by his officials and came to Lin Yi.

Under a yellow umbrella, Lin Yi, wearing heavy armor and an apricot yellow hero cloak, stood there motionless, his eyes fixed on Mangbai and the others who were getting closer.

Around Ji Dong, there were countless musketeers, archers, and female battalion soldiers of the guard battalion, who were also armed with live ammunition, and hundreds of Jin Yiwei were also at war.

In the outer periphery, apart from Mu Tianbo's front troops who were already ready to attack the city, there were also soldiers from the Standard Battalion and the Invincible Battalion who were also preparing for battle. They all had tens of thousands of self-propelled flintlock guns in their hands. , This is the most advanced weapon that the Burmese have never seen.

Mangbai walked in the front, and the other officials came to the front of Lin Yi dozens of steps away, and they all knelt down and paid respects.

"Little Wang Mangbai sees the Great Ming Supervisor..."

Seeing Mangbai leading the crowd to kowtow to himself, Lin Yi suddenly had the urge to rule the world, and a sentence flashed in his mind: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the guests of the crowd are the king's ministers."

"You are reckless?" Lin Yi said in a flat tone.

"It's Xiao Wang."

"Are you guilty?"

"Xiao Wang was convicted because Xiao Wang was confused for a while and shouldn't interfere in your country's affairs. Now Xiao Wang has taken all Sun Kewang and his gang to prison and handed them over to Jian Guo. Please forgive the crime."

"Hmph, it's easy to talk about," Lin Yi snorted, "I didn't come here for him this time. There are only a few thieves in the area. Why should I be so mobilizing?"

Mangbai was startled when he heard that, but at this moment he saw Lin Yi wave his hand, the Ming army retreated, and several war elephants appeared, "King Myanmar, what should we do with these beasts?"

Mangbai knows these war elephants too well. This is their invincible elephant army. Now it has become Daming's spoils of war. Of course, it's not just about returning the property to the original owner, it's obvious that Xingshi came to question the crime.

"Da Ming supervises the country, everything is discussed..."

Mangbai was obedient, and then Lin Yi and the King of Myanmar made a round table agreement. Sun Kewang handed over all these people to Daming, and returned all these war elephants to Myanmar, but Myanmar needs to pay war expenses, extradition fees and other expenses totaling 150 million taels of silver. Pay tribute to the next year and become a minister every year.

After the agreement was reached, Lin Yi and Mangbai signed it in person, and stamped the jade seals they brought with them, each of them got a copy, and then Lin Yi and Mangbai shook hands to make peace.

Next, of course, Mangbai had to be a landlord. With the highest standard, he allowed Lin Yi and others to enter the royal city for entertainment. Delicious food and beauties were of course indispensable. Lin Yi stayed here for a few days and enjoyed the exotic atmosphere. .

During this period, a guerrilla general in the Ming Dynasty was ordered to hand over Sun Kewang and others from the Burmese army, put them in a prison cart and put them in wooden cages, and send them to the death row in the capital...

Later, Lin Yi bid farewell to the king of Burma and led an army of 20 to withdraw from Burma. At this time, someone came to report that Li Dingguo, the Daxi remnant entrenched in Guizhou, had surrendered to Zheng Zhilong.

When Lin Yi heard this, he said, wow, this time, they will be caught together!
