After a while, an official who stood closest to Pingdali shouted to the eunuch: "It's blue and white, don't talk nonsense!"

"It's unfair, the Ming army really has to kill him!" When the eunuch heard this, he quickly pointed his finger outside and replied, "Mu Bang's Miuwen escaped and knelt outside the palace gate to wait for the order!"

Muwen is the name of Donggo's local administrative officer.

When he heard this, Ping Dali's face turned pale and he immediately shouted: "Bring it in!"

When the eunuch heard this, he almost rolled and crawled out quickly.

The hall became quiet again, very quiet.

Everyone's face is very ugly.

Don’t look at their cry of happiness just now, and want to use the Ming Dynasty to highlight Pingdali’s wise and magical martial arts. Once they really face the attack of the Ming army, no one dares to speak out.

In fact, they themselves also know that the Ming Dynasty has a vast land and a vast world.

Before, a mere local general could take the Ming army to Awa. In other words, the Ming Dynasty did not take Dongwu seriously, otherwise, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it would definitely not be something that Dongwu could bear.

There is a very simple example for these here, which can help them understand reality.

The thief who had harmed Togo before, although there was something unexpected happening on the side of Togo, the thief's strength is indeed very powerful. You can feel it as soon as you fight.

However, such a thief was afraid of the Ming Dynasty's official army, so he escaped from the Ming Dynasty.

This shows how powerful the Ming court official army is today!

The hall was very quiet until Mubangmuwen was taken to the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is here. It was the governor of the five provinces who came here with his men and horses!"

As soon as Miuwen spoke, he emphasized the strength of the Ming army. In this way, he would naturally relieve his guilt of losing his city and land, and cover up the fact that he immediately fled when he heard the news.

"How many people have come?" Ping Dali's face looked very ugly. He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing as soon as he ascended the throne. It was really unlucky.

He probably knew in his mind that since the governors of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army, the Ming army would definitely not be short of troops.

"Fifty thousand, no no no no, one hundred thousand, more than one hundred thousand!" Mubangmouwen couldn't say a accurate number, because he didn't see all the Ming army at all, so he quickly changed his words and reported a number that he thought should be accurate, "It should be around 200,000!"

From 50,000 to 200,000, this force is probably too far away.

At that time, Liu Jing was just a guerrilla in the Ming Dynasty. He commanded less than 10,000 regular troops of the Ming Dynasty and joined forces with local chieftains, and then he defeated Dongwu and fled in panic.

Now the governors of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army, whether they were bringing 50,000 or 200,000, it was indeed possible, and they were definitely stronger than the Ming army at that time.

Fearing, Pingdali asked hurriedly: "Why did the Ming army come to attack me, Donggo? Could it be that he is dissatisfied with being the king of the Lord?"

This is the one who won't fight early or late, but it was the one who led the troops to attack when he ascended the throne, which forced him to have this suspicion.

But he didn't know that there was one thing called "coincidentally"!

"It is said that Dongwu was originally a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but he repeatedly launched troops to attack Yunnan, occupied Mubang and Meng Yang, and enslaved the people of the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to eliminate the rebellion!"

Hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other.

This happened many years ago, and Ming Guo finally came to get old accounts at this time!

However, whether it is an old or new account, it is a debt, so Ming Jun used this reason.

Ping Dali had no ambition to fight the Ming army to the death. He had just ascended the throne and was not even sitting on his butt. Therefore, he tried to ask the ministers in the hall and said, "Why...why don't you return Mubang and Meng Yang to the Ming Dynasty alone?"

Hearing this, a civil servant stood up and said to him: "King, even if you return Mubang and Meng Yang to the Ming Dynasty, it may be difficult to eliminate this military disaster. If the Wei Me, if the Wei Me, was expected, the Ming Dynasty was not about wine, and they had greater plans!"

In fact, this doesn't require much IQ to guess.

Otherwise, Ming Guo really had to care about Meng Yang. If Mu Bang had not been occupied by Togo, it would have been decades before he came to seek it back.

"What should I do?" Ping Dali was a little anxious when he heard this, and asked quickly: "Do you guys have any plans to retreat to the enemy?"

After he finished speaking, the hall became quiet again. Most people lowered their heads to look at the ground, and no one dared to look back at Ping Dali's expectant gaze.

Seeing this scene, Ping Dali knew that his ministers were afraid of the fierce Ming army.

Seeing this, he asked helplessly: "Why don't you move the capital back to Bogu?"

Bogu is the original capital of Dongwu, located in Lower Myanmar, in the south. The Ming army wanted to fight, but the transportation was inconvenient, so it is very likely that the Ming army would not fight all the time.

As soon as he heard this, the officials and nobles on Awa responded immediately and immediately persuaded Pingdali.

"Prince, maybe the Ming army just occupied Mubang and Meng Yang, and would not go south again!"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has always wanted face. As long as we return to Mubang and Meng Yang, we apologize and say some good things, maybe this matter will be settled!"

"Your Majesty, the Ming army will come when they come. Why are they afraid of them? If you really dare to come to Awa, let them know the power of Ahmudan army!"

"Yes, our elephant soldiers have always been powerful and can kill a Mingren with one kick. What are you afraid of? "

“…”

Whether it is a war or a peace, it is because if Pingdali moved the capital, the Ming army would not come, which would harm their interests and naturally would not agree.

Generally speaking, moving the capital is only possible unless a prestigious king. Otherwise, any dynasty and country's moving the capital will have a lot of interests and will be difficult to move.

King Talong has this prestige, but Pingdali does not have this ability.

Seeing so many people in the hall objecting, he backed off again.

After a while of discussion, I finally decided to send an envoy to meet the governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty first and then talk about it. On the other hand, I was naturally actively preparing for the war.

Fortunately, there is one thing that the southern army had transferred a lot of troops from the Ming Dynasty because of the bandits. The troops in Awa were not weak, which gave Pingdali some confidence.

It is recorded that at this time, the population of Togo was about three million. Among them, Upper Myanmar is the majority, with about two million.

It is also because of this that when Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's coalition forces attacked Donggo, it caused great damage to Donggo. In particular, these thieves used their usual means of coaxing the people, which caused the population in the north of Donggo to plummet, which was estimated to be about 1.5 million.

In Pingdali's hands, all the troops were about 200,000. However, these troops were naturally impossible to be in Ava, but were distributed in various towns in the north.

This means that the so-called army is actually a real army, local yamen runners, head-on private troops, etc., and it is basically a strong man.

Now that Mengyang and Mubang are gone, the army and population in these places are over.

Awa's army had a total of about 60,000, of which Ahmudan, who was directly under the command of the king, was considered to be a professional warfare. It was a military similar to the Ming Dynasty, which had only 30,000. Other troops were all transferred from the local area.

However, the Ming army may have 200,000. Even if there is not, there must be 100,000. After all, the governors of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty personally led the army. Therefore, Ping Dali was very anxious and restless.

In response, his subordinates comforted him.

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is not so fast. When we mobilize the army, the troops will definitely not be less than those of the Ming army!"

"Your Majesty, the Ming army is used to their Sunshine Avenue. If we are used to our Donggo path, we will definitely be very slow!"

"Master, maybe the governor of the Ming Kingdom felt our sincerity and had returned to the army?"

“…”

However, not long after such comfort, the messenger sent by Pingdali brought back the news he least wanted to hear.

First, the Ming army was almost at Awa, and the speed of advancement was far beyond their expectations.

Second, the Governor of the Ming Dynasty once again severely rebuked the envoy of Donggo, expressing his attitude that it would not be enough to show the power of tomorrow if he did not punish Donggo seriously. This means that there is nothing to talk about!

Third, there were indeed many Ming troops, at least 50,000. And each of them was well-equipped and looked elite. The most important thing was that these seemed to be locals in Yunnan.

This time, Pingdali was really panicked. Not only did he, but the officials in the Ava area were also panicked.

It is correct that they care about the interests of the Awa area, but if they knew that Donggo really couldn't resist the Ming army, it would be impossible to protect their interests even if they wanted to protect them.

Then, Dongwu court was divided into two factions.

One faction is a pro-war faction, and he asked Ping Dali to quickly order to clear the country, and send troops to harass the rear of the Ming army. He did not believe that the Ming army would not retreat!

Another faction was the capital movement faction, and felt that the Ming army was prepared. Even the Ming army soldiers were natives in Yunnan. They obviously had been planning to adapt to the climate and terrain of Donggo.

It is definitely impossible to fight, and it is useless to strengthen the walls and clear the field. It is better to move the capital to the south and lengthen the front line. Let's see how the Ming army will chase after it? After a period of time, we will try to counterattack and come back.

These two factions have their own reasons, and no one can convince anyone. The quarrels that Pingdali's head is two big, and he doesn't know which faction is good for a while.

This delayed things.

The quarrel continued until there was news that when the army vanguard was only three days away from Ava, Pingdali was shocked and he no longer cared about it and fled south. Whoever took the battle would be allowed to defend Ava.

Once the king fled, the morale of the army was naturally gone, and the people who stayed in Ava also fled.
