Chapter 1035 Mang Bai(2/2)
However, most of the ministers advocated fighting against the Ming Dynasty, especially the officials headed by the prime minister. They all believed that due to the difficult survival conditions in the dense forests of Myanmar, Toungoo had the strength to protect itself.
King Burmese's thoughts were influenced by his ministers. Now it was too late to regret. He looked up at the ministers in the hall and said feebly:
"It was you who wanted to fight against the Ming Dynasty in the beginning, and it is you who want to surrender today. The Toungoo Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of officials like you. In this case, I will grant you a favor, pass the decree, and inform the whole city to give up resistance and surrender to the Ming Dynasty..."
Hearing that the king was about to surrender, the ministers immediately beamed:
"Your Majesty, this should have been the case a long time ago. Countries such as Japan and the Netherlands are so powerful that they cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty, and we cannot deal with the Ming Dynasty. Now that we surrender, we have lost even the conditions for negotiation..."
Myanmar is now weak in power and obviously unable to fight against the Ming Dynasty's army. At this time, all Myanmar's main militant faction bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Your Majesty, you must not surrender. Once you surrender, the centuries-old foundation of the Toungoo Dynasty will be destroyed in our hands. I am willing to lead the elephant soldiers and fight to the death against the Ming army. If I lose to the Ming army, it will not be too late for your Majesty to surrender..."
Suddenly, there was a discordant sound, and a sturdy young man walked quickly into the hall...
Everyone looked up and saw that the person who came was none other than Mangbai, the son of King Burmese.
Mangbai was eighteen years old at this time and was considered a fierce general in the Toungoo Dynasty. The king loved him very much.
But he was not the heir to the throne. The heir to the throne was his brother Mangda. Later, he launched a coup to kill his brother Mangda and usurp the throne.
Those officials from the Zhuhe faction who originally wanted to surrender, but when they heard that someone was preventing them from surrendering, they were ready to fight in a group.
But when they saw the person coming, they immediately shut up. This guy was not easy to mess with. He would stab people with a knife at every turn. Many ministers were chased and chopped by him...
When King Burmese heard this, he was still very pleased, but thinking of the strength of the Ming army, he waved his hands helplessly and said:
"Mang Bai, don't resist in vain, surrender for the sake of the people in this city!".
"Your Majesty, let the white elephant soldiers try..."
After the boy said this, he didn't listen to King Burmese at all and turned around and left quickly...
King Burm could only shake his head helplessly. He knew that he could not restrain Mang Bai from this servant. It was obviously difficult to defeat the Ming army. He only hoped that Mang Bai could come back safely.
"Be prepared. If Mang Bai fails and returns, the Toungoo Dynasty will surrender immediately..."
"According to the order!"
This Mangbai was the king of Myanmar who caused the "Curse Water Disaster" in history. He was still very young at this time.
With the support of his ministers, King Zhu Youlang of Gui took over the important task of supporting the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty and established the Yongli Dynasty.
It is a pity that the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken. Zhu Youlang did not have many usable soldiers and was defeated by the Qing army in Guangdong.
Zhu Youlang retreated to Yunnan with the Ming Dynasty elders and established the capital in Kunming, intending to make a comeback here.
What caught them off guard was that Wu Sangui was thriving under the Manchus and was leading an army to kill his old master.
The Qing army was approaching fiercely, and Zhu Youlang had no idea. In order to save his life and continue the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youlang could only continue to flee with his ministers until he escaped from the country and arrived in Myanmar.
Seeing Zhu Youlang's hurried arrival, the King of Burma expressed that he could provide shelter to the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but he made a request for the Ming army to disarm.
There was no other way. After all, they had already crossed the border and were on other people's territory. Naturally, they had to do as they pleased. Zhu Youlang ordered the soldiers to disarm.
In order to express his gratitude to the king of Myanmar, Zhu Youlang presented most of the belongings he carried.
Although the king of Myanmar warmly welcomed the arrival of the small court of Nanming, he was secretly dissatisfied.
Prior to this, the Ming Dynasty was a sovereign state, and small border countries could not afford to offend them, so it was natural for them to bow their heads to the Ming Dynasty.
