Chapter 212: The Toungoo Army takes the blame

"Your Majesty, in the Yongle year of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty established the Burmese Xuanwei Department here. In order to distinguish it from the Toungoo Kingdom, the general suggested that it be changed to the Burmese Garrison Army!"

Wang Xianwu has obviously done his homework.

But he made a slight mistake here.

In 1403, during the Zhu Di period, in order to use barbarians to control barbarians, the Burmese Xuanwei Department was established.

It is affiliated to the Yunnan Chengxuan Administrative Department, and its jurisdiction is the Ava Dynasty of Myanmar.

In 1406, the Dakula Xuanwei Division was established to rule the Bago Dynasty in southern Myanmar.

In some other small countries, the Ming Dynasty also established the Xuanwei Department.

For example, Dewura Xuanweisi later established the Taungoo Dynasty, the most powerful dynasty in Myanmar.

Therefore, different areas in Taungoo have different names of Xuanweisi.

Dao Tuo comforted his subordinates in this way, saying words that even he himself did not believe.

Now as most of the chieftain leaders returned to their territories, the Toungoo soldiers who originally had little fighting spirit naturally placed all their hopes on the weather in the Toungoo Kingdom.

"It's a good idea to show off your military power. After capturing the entire Taungoo, we will establish the province of Burma. The garrison will naturally be named Burma." Zhu Kezang replied with a smile.

Zhu Kezang will definitely not rebuild the Xuanwei System, but the name Myanmar can be used.

Even though there were still ten thousand people, Dao Tuo could still feel the emptiness in the military camp.

I have to say that Dao Tuo's staff has a very good strategic vision.

Therefore, once the news leaks out, not to mention the chieftains and soldiers in the army may also leave this place, and even the direct troops of the Toungoo Kingdom may suffer a sharp drop in morale!

Because I learned that the Ming fleet landed in Yangon, and tens of thousands of Ming troops attacked Mora Mian on land.

As long as the fall of Bago City and the news of Militi's capture are leaked, those chieftains who are wavering and only care about their own interests will understand that this is the Ming Dynasty's punishment for the "great disrespect" of the Toungoo Kingdom in the past.

The purpose of establishing the Xuanwei Division in the Ming Dynasty was also to maintain regional stability and achieve the effect of using barbarians to control barbarians.

"However, the province of Burma has not been conquered yet, so you have to work harder!"

Without the support of the chieftains, how could Dao Tuo's 60,000 troops fight against the Ming Dynasty?

Dao Tuo's words brightened the eyes of those who were originally panic-stricken because they were desperate!

In an instant, the frowns on everyone's faces, which were still full of sadness, suddenly opened up.

However, his subordinates did not accept this trick.

However, in just half a day's effort, the once mighty army, which was said to be one hundred thousand, was reduced to more than ten thousand people, all of whom were the Central Army of the Toungoo Kingdom.

In the past, when the Ming Dynasty was still around, those chieftains would stick to both ends, swinging repeatedly between the Toungu Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty. These chieftains had long been accustomed to submitting to the Ming Dynasty, not the Toungu Kingdom.

Escape into the mountains and forests is not possible, nor is defending here, and attacking is even more impossible.

How to fight this? Originally, he was still studying how to stop Akito in Moramian, but now he has become a headless fly.

Bago City should be the Dagula Xuanwei Division established by the Ming Dynasty.

He never expected that in just a few days, the Ming army would actually break through the royal capital!

Dao Tuo was a veteran general in Toungoo who always acted decisively. He immediately realized what consequences this news might have if the news was leaked.

"Stop the news immediately and don't let this news leak to the military camp!"

The sudden bad news made Dao Tuo panic. If this happened to any general, he would be confused.

The current surrender to the Toungoo Kingdom is only because the Ming Dynasty has disappeared, but even so, the chieftains' awe for the Ming Dynasty comes from the bottom of their hearts.

Dao Tuo, the general of Toungoo, is receiving orders from Militi and is leading 60,000 soldiers from the northern frontier of Toungoo and local chieftains. The so-called army of 100,000 has just arrived at Ava City and is about to enter Bagan, which is relatively wealthy in the Toungoo Kingdom.

area.

"Moreover, it is not the same as it used to be. This so-called Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty of the past. In the past, the Ming Dynasty sat on the Central Plains and did not care about the land in Toungu. Now that the Central Plains is occupied by the Qing Dynasty, the Ming people must want to go from Toungoo to

The Qing Dynasty attacked and sought Yunnan."

The news spread quickly. Just as Dao Tuo expected, many chieftains immediately fled the military camp with their own soldiers after learning that Militi was captured by the Ming army and the capital was burned.

The toast place.

However, within a few days, the news that the king was captured by the Ming people and that the royal city was occupied reached his ears.

His words immediately caused a lot of discussion in the camp. Dao Tuo listened to the words of his generals and staff, but his face became depressed while he was sitting on the table.

However, the canonized envoys were local kings or leaders, and their official positions were hereditary, so the Ming Dynasty did not actually rule these areas.

"Sirs and soldiers, don't worry. We can wait and see how the situation changes. If necessary, we can retreat into the forest first. Ming people are afraid of forests. We only need to hide in the mountains and forests for a few months, up to a year.

At that time, the Ming people will inevitably retreat without a fight, and by then, we will still have the final say in the Toungoo Kingdom!"

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the Xuanwei Departments could not go to war with each other, but these restrictions were not very effective, and the Xuanwei Departments still attacked each other before.

In view of the large number of Ming troops, Dao Tuo ordered the army to stay in Ava City in order to recharge their batteries and rest for a few days before preparing to go south to King Qin.

But even so, he still knew what he should do now.

"yes!"

However, such information is not so easy to block.

Once upon a time, their ancestors used weather and disease to "repel" the Ming army. Now, they also put their last glimmer of hope in these natural conditions.

Standing up, Dao Tuo looked at everyone and said: "Since we can't fight or retreat, then surrender! I believe that with the magnanimity of the Ming Emperor, he will not blame us for the cursed water incident twenty years ago.

superior!"

"General, if we hide in the mountains and forests, we will give the Ming army the upper hand and make the chieftains from all over Toungoo think that we have been defeated. When more and more chieftains join the Ming Dynasty, how can we survive?"

Most of the chieftains did not participate in the cursed water disaster, so in order to protect their own safety, even if they did not immediately turn to the Ming Dynasty, they would probably remain neutral.

What options are there now?

Even Dao Tuo himself felt that there was a bright future in another village.

"In that case, let's head south quickly and apologize to the Ming Emperor!"

Dao Tuo's decision was a good one. The Toungoo army that voluntarily surrendered would be disrupted and reorganized into the Burmese garrison according to the orders of the Ming Emperor Zhu Kezang for use.

Of course, it was impossible for them to personally plead guilty to the Ming Emperor, because the Ming Emperor Zhu Kezang had already gone home!
