Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Page 312

He immediately said: "Myanmar is quite a large territory, not only Awa, but also Toungoo, Aragon, Lancang, etc., a king of Gui can't guard it... It's better to divide it into several pieces, and they are separated by King Gui, King Pingxi, General Pingxi divides the leadership, so that there can be long-term peace and stability. Moreover, Burma will not merge into a big country in the future, posing a threat to the Ming Dynasty."

Of course, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui's hard work can't be in vain!

They also have to find a place for themselves to protect their lives.And Myanmar is a big enough country, which can roughly include Upper Myanmar centered on Ava City, Lower Myanmar centered on Taungoo City, Arakan near Tianzhu, and a piece of land located in Myanmar and Siam. Lancang in between is sometimes merged into Myanmar.

Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui have already discussed it, this time they are going to eat up and down Burma and Arakan first.Among them, Upper Burma belonged to King Gui, Lower Burma was taken by Wu Yingxiong, and Arakan belonged to Wu Guogui.

Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui will work together to support King Gui...so that Zhu and Qi need them to maintain the stability of King Gui's mansion, upper and lower Burma, and Arakan, and they will no longer think about killing them to avenge Yongli.

In addition, Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui's cousin Zeqing will send troops to Annan after Zhu Heqi agrees with Wu Yingxiong and Wu Guogui's plan to pacify Myanmar... After the Ping Annan, the same arrangement will be made. The prince of the Zhu family rules the north, and Zu Zeqing Go and take Nam Nguyen's territory.

Chapter 735 Yongli, lie down and win!

An army is walking through the mountains in Mupang, northern Myanmar.

Standing in the middle of the team, you can't see the end when you look forward, and you can't see the end when you look back.There are tens of thousands of people and horses.The former army had already arrived at the Awa River in Mupang, Myanmar, and the rear army had just left Hanlong Pass in the territory of Tengyue Hall under Yunnan Province.

Zhu Youlang, Emperor Zhaozong of the Yongli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, was also in this team, lying in a large coffin of red lacquered nanmu wood, carried by sixteen burly men, and came lifelessly.

Wu Guogui, who personally delivered Emperor Yongli to Bintian, wore hemp and filial piety, rode a big white horse, surrounded by a group of cuirassiers and generals of the Wu family army, and walked behind Emperor Yongli's coffin with a look of grief and indignation—he The second time, he took command in the name of avenging Emperor Yongli's hatred, so the expression on this old face must show the righteous indignation in his heart.

He is Dai Xiaojia carrying the coffin to go to war, so of course he can't be smiling.

Moreover, the Toungoo Dynasty in Burma is indeed too hateful, to actually tie up Emperor Yongli and give it to his adoptive father Wu Sangui, this is treason!The Taungoo Kingdom of Myanmar is a vassal of Ming Dynasty, and the courtiers tied up the monarch and offered it to the enemy country, and put the monarch to death.Although Wu Guogui was the one who sent Yongli Bintian to heaven with his own hands, it was actually Dongyu Guo who killed Yongli... Wu Guogui is an executioner.

Wu Guogui thought to himself: "If I don't strangle him and let him come to Beijing alive, according to the rules of Qing Yao, he will be executed by Ling Chi! So there are only three enemies who killed Yongli, one is Oboi, Kangxi at that time Khan has not been in power yet, he is still a baby, but if he is in power, he will definitely kill Yongli Lord! The second is the old man (Wu Sangui), if he wants someone from King Dongyu, he may not be able to Send people to Yunnan; the third is the death of Toungoo King Baimang... Although this guy is dead, but his grandson Mahamela is still there, he has to bear this blood feud!"

"Awa..." Wu Guogui whispered the name of the capital of Dongyu Kingdom. The capital of Dongyu Kingdom was originally located in Dongyu, Lower Burma, but because Dongyu King Mang Yingli was unable to maintain the situation after the death of the military tyrant Mang Yinglong , was broken by Arakan, captured and subjugated.Later, King Liangyuan, the son of Mang Yinglong, turned the tide and established his capital in Ava in Upper Burma to restore the country, preserving half of the rivers and mountains in Upper Burma.Later, Anabilong, the son of King Liangyuan, regained Lower Burma and reunified Burma.However, after the reunification, the Toungoo Kingdom of Myanmar was no longer as strong as it used to be, and it never returned to Toungoo. It just spent its days in Ava City, living comfortably, and its national strength became weaker and weaker.Therefore, the lords who are far away from Ava do not obey the command of the Ava royal court. King Toungoo gradually became the lord of Ava. Although he still controls the rich plain near Ava, there is no vassal who can take his place.But he has been unable to mobilize the entire Burmese army to resist the Great Tomorrow Army, and most likely he has nowhere to escape. He should stick to the strong Ava Castle and hope that the rainy season in Burma will drive away the enemy...

Wu Guogui's Chinese army turned another corner on the mountain road, and there were still many mountains in front of him.Seeing the narrow mountain road meandering into the valley, and the long marching team passing through it, as if they would never reach the end point, Wu Guogui was unavoidably a little impatient, and he turned around and shouted: "Old Gao! It's not far from Ava City!" how far?"

"Back to the general, there are still two hundred miles!" Behind Wu Guogui, half a horse, a gray-bearded veteran immediately replied loudly, "We have now entered the direct jurisdiction of the Ava King City, and it is estimated that we will soon There was an engagement."

The name of this old general is Gao Dejie, and he is also a powerful general under Wu Sangui. In the original history, he once faced Yue Le on the Jiangxi battlefield and won many times. Dying from depression...

But now he is still alive and well, and he has become Wu Guogui's deputy general, and together with him, he oversaw the [-] troops marching south to Ava.

In fact, the war against Toungoo in Burma has been secretly prepared for several years. Zhu Heqi had long hinted that Wu Guogui would have this day, and also paid him enough military expenses, and gave him several years to fight on the border between Ming and Burma. The Tengyue Hall in the Tengyue Hall hoarded grain and grass, and bought the chieftains in the Mu State in northern Myanmar—the original base of the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar was Lower Burma, and Awa was originally the territory of the Shan people, while the Mu State in the northeast of Awa was the Han Dynasty. In the land where barbarians live together, many chieftains are "free and loyal ministers". On the one hand, they surrender to Awa, and on the other hand, they also pay tribute to Kunming.

After the revival of the Ming Dynasty, they became more respectful to Wu Yingxiong, who became King Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty, and Wu Yingqi, the General of Pingxi of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Wu family army who attacked Burma progressed smoothly in Mubang, and encountered almost no resistance along the way, but was delayed for a while outside Mubang city.The troops guarding Mubang City were sent by the Ava King City, but before Wu's army launched the siege and bombarded them with rockets and Weiyuan cannons, the Dongyu troops guarding the city were scared away by a scout hot air balloon...

However, the control of the Taungoo Dynasty around Ava King City should be relatively strong, and there might be a fierce battle!

At this moment, within the city of Awa, the king of Toungoo, Mahamela, was sitting on the throne, looking angrily at his brother Mang Along who was also the governor of Mubang.

Mang Along came to plead guilty to King Mahmaila—because he abandoned Mubang City, the northern gateway of Ava City, without fighting!And that's not what pissed Mahamela the most.

What made this king of Dongyu most angry was that Mang Along actually said that the invading Ming army was led by Emperor Yongli who died 20 years ago... and also said that Emperor Yongli had turned into a zombie. Sitting in a coffin, he brought the Yin soldiers from the underworld to seek revenge on Dongyu Kingdom!

"Brother Wang, what I say is true, you must believe me! I saw Yongli climb out of the coffin and board a flying ball as big as that in Mubang City, and then fly hundreds of feet High in the air! Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would be dead now..."

"Shut up!" King Mahamera was furious, who is this?Why did his father leave him such a living treasure brother?He actually said that Emperor Yongli, who had been dead for 20 years, turned into a flying zombie!

"Put him in prison!" King Mahamela wanted to kill his own brother, just because there are still many veterans of the royal family and eminent monks protecting the country in the palace, and they would not agree to kill a noble prince. .

After he had his brother put in prison, King Mahmaila turned his head to look at an old monk wearing a yellow monk robe with one shoulder and one arm exposed—this is the monk king of the Toungoo Dynasty and King Mahmaila’s son. Uncle, it is said that the mana is superb!

The Theravada Buddhism is popular in Myanmar, and you can tell it is very high-end just by its name.The advanced Theravada Buddhism takes a high-level route, so in countries where Theravada Buddhism is popular, the status of monks is very high, and the senior monks among them are basically from princes and nobles.Therefore, the Sangha has a great influence on politics... A great king like Mahamela dare not offend a powerful monk.

"There can't be any flying zombies," the great monk was full of confidence. "Someone must be pretending to be a ghost. As long as the poor monk arrives in front of the formation, he will have his own way to break it."

Then don't worry.

Although King Mahamela has been the king for ten years, he has never had the experience of commanding a battle in front of the battle... There is nowhere to display his military strategy, it's really itchy!

Now he was relieved when he heard that the great monk had guaranteed the ticket, so he ordered loudly: "Call all the elephant soldiers, artillery soldiers, and infantry... When the Ming army arrives, they will line up on the banks of the Ava River and must fight!" Defeat it! After winning, I will go north to Yunnan, take Kunming, and kill Wu Yingxiong!"

Chapter 736 You Can Fly to Win!

The tenth day of February in the fifth year of the Great Duke of Ming Dynasty.

Outside the city of Ava, on the banks of the Ava River.

"It can fly! The enemy can fly! The enemy can fly... There are gods and Buddhas on the enemy side!"

On the battlefield by the Ava River, there was a huge shout like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and at the same time a quite magical scene was staged... Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Toungoo Kingdom of Myanmar who believed in gods and Buddhas in the sky suddenly discovered that they used to only exist in The gods and Buddhas that the monks talked about really appeared in front of their eyes!

But it seems that this god Buddha is not on their side, but on the enemy's side!

Because everyone saw that the three huge, round magic weapons that looked like monks with bare heads flew up from the large formation of the Ming army on the opposite side.

That one is obviously the god Buddha of Daming, not the god Buddha of Toungoo!

King Mahmaila, who was sitting on the back of a war elephant, was also stunned by this scene-this is really heavenly!I can fly!This is how to do?He quickly turned his head to look at Monk Dongyu on the back of a white elephant behind him. He saw the old monk with a sacred and solemn face, squinting his eyes, clasped his hands, and chanted sutras there.

This is to fight!

King Mahmaila finally felt relieved. This monk king was his uncle, and his mana was quite powerful. He was able to inherit the throne smoothly because of his great uncle's full support!

Thinking of this, King Mahamela hurriedly clasped his hands together, and helped his uncle recite sutras together... Although his magic power is relatively low, there is still a little bit.He also became a monk, returned to vulgarity and practiced Buddhism with his uncle every day, and donated many pagodas and temples dedicated to the Buddha, so he must be able to help his uncle.

Not to mention, just after reading the scriptures of King Mahamela for a while, the situation suddenly changed, and he suddenly heard a sharp cry of "Jiu Jiu Jiu".

Needless to say, this must be his uncle's spell!

Thinking of this, he quickly raised his head to look up to the sky - the voice came from the sky!After looking at it, he found "magic", dozens of "flying spears", dragging flames, roaring from the sky...how did they come?The direction is wrong!

King Mahmaila had already realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, because those "flying spears" had already been pierced from the sky, and they were impartial, and they were stuck in the elephant formation led by King Mahmaila. It was a roar that shook the ground!Those "flying spears" falling from the sky will actually explode!

This is amazing, these are rockets filled with sugar medicine!Once it exploded, it was terrible, the fire ball rose, and the shrapnel flew, killing and wounding twenty or thirty majestic war elephants in an instant.Among them is the big white elephant carrying the monk king!

And those elephants that were not brought down were all frightened.

Elephants are big, but timid. When "Flying Spear" screamed just now, they were a little timid.Now when the flying spears exploded, not only did they make a huge roar, but there was also flames, and they also knocked out many of their companions.This was so terrible that it frightened the little elephants to their guts.

The frightened elephant just thought of "Run! Run!", and screamed "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Run without looking at what's in front of you and under your feet?

This is not a couple of elephants frightened and running around, but a hundred or two hundred war elephants screaming and rushing into the infantry and artillery formations of the Toungoo Army, and fled. I don't know how many Toungoo fighters were trampled to death by their own elephants without even having the chance to confront the enemy face to face.

In fact, elephants are easily frightened, and they may collide with their own battle formations after being frightened. The elephant soldiers of the Toungoo Dynasty who have been driving war elephants all year round know this.They all carried hammers that were used to smash the elephant's skull...but now it's not only the elephant that is scared, but also the people on the elephant's back!

The magic weapon of the Ming army that can fly, and the flying spear that can blow people to death, are so powerful that they are magical!How can you beat this?run now!

So some elephant soldiers only want to escape for their lives, the sooner the better, they don't care how many people will be trampled to death by their elephants when they collide all the way?

The hundreds of crazy elephants rampaging among the tens of thousands of Toungoo troops was terrible, and the Toungoo army suddenly became a mess.

When it was chaotic, the second wave of rockets from the Ming army came!There was another strange cry of "chirp chirp chirp" in the sky, and in an instant there was another burst of fire, smoke and violent explosions.

This time it was not the elephant that was bombed, but the large formation of the Taungoo Army who had just been smashed into pieces by the elephant.

The Toungoo soldiers who were bombed by rockets did not show more composure than the elephants. A formation of thousands of people disintegrated instantly, and the Toungoo infantry wearing brown buffalo leather armor shouted and screamed. Running wildly, I saw the crowd rolling towards another large formation of the Toungoo Army.

And the large formation of the Toungyu Army had just been rushed by a crazy elephant, and it was completely messed up.Now seeing his own soldiers coming in rout like a tide, how can they hold back?In an instant, they also collapsed together. Thousands of people, who had never even fought against the enemy, were dispersed by their own people.

Seeing the elephant herd of the Dongyu army go crazy, two more infantry formations collapsed in a row, and the third one was about to collapse. Wu Guogui, who was commanding the Ming army formation, immediately realized that the chance of decisive victory had come!

He immediately adjusted the deployment and ordered the rocket launchers and other artillery to turn to bombard the right flank of the Taungoo Army, which had not yet shown signs of collapse.

Then he ordered his own right-wing infantry to immediately rush to the left flank of the Taungoo Army in column formation.

At the same time, Wu Guogui ordered Gao Dejie to lead the cuirassiers to attack immediately and follow the infantry on the right wing—once the infantry's attack succeeded, the cuirassiers immediately followed up and rushed to the left flank of the collapsed Dongyu Army.

Then go around to the back of the Taungoo Army's right wing and launch a fatal impact!

Wu Guogui's deployment soon received miraculous results.The soldiers of the Toungoo Army, who had already fallen into chaos for a long time, could not do anything at all, and had no one to command them.They could only watch helplessly as the cavalry of the Ming army rushed from their collapsed right wing to their flanks!

Great fear hangs over everyone's heart.I don't know who took the lead and shouted: "I lost, I lost..."

The left wing of the Dongyu Army, which has more than 2 people, also fell into a total collapse in a very short period of time.

On the battlefield, Dongyu soldiers were running wildly everywhere, and they fled with their helmets and armor removed, while screaming.

The shouts of "defeated, defeated" resounded throughout the south bank of the Awa River, and swept all the way to the city of Awa, the city of Toungoo.

The Toungoo nobles and soldiers guarding the city saw the collapse of their own army from afar, and also saw the "miracles" of the Ming army, and even saw that the elephant formation where their king and monk king were located was destroyed by the enemy's "sky thunder". "Covered... Monk King Dongyu lost this "fight" and became a "missing person", and no one has seen him again.

But King Toungoo was taken away from the battlefield by the mad elephant. He didn't even dare to return to the city to stand firm, so he fled to Lower Burma with a few confidants, and then fled to the neighboring country of Arakan to seek asylum.

Ava City, which did not wait for the king, naturally lost the courage to resist.On the second day of the Battle of the Ava River, under the auspices of the king's brother Mang Along, who was invited out of the prison, he surrendered to the Ming army outside the city.

The flying Ming army won their first big victory in Burma!

Chapter 737 Long Live!Sudan can fly!

March 1684, Central Europe, Belgrade.

This city is located in the core of the Balkan Peninsula, at the confluence of the Danube River and the Sava River, bordering the middle reaches of the Danube River Plain in the north, and extending to the Sumadia Hills in the south of the Laoshan Mountains. The road has always been the hub of road traffic between Europe and the Near East, and has the title of the key of the Balkans.

After Suleiman the Great of the Ottoman Empire conquered the Balkan Key on February 1521, 2, the city has been under the firm control of the Ottoman Empire for 28 years until now, and has become a key to the Ottoman Empire. The frontier stronghold of Central Europe's offensive.

Before every major offensive launched by the Ottoman Empire to Central Europe, troops and various supplies from all over the empire would be gathered here.

Since the winter of 1683, the Ottoman Sultan's nine-horsetail battle flag and the Tianfang Sacred Flag embroidered with more than 9000 names of the true God in gold have been flying high above the Sultan's Palace in Belgrade.

At the same time, a Mutefirika cavalry consisting of the Sudanese Guards, Sipahi Knights, Aikinsi soldiers, and noble children, as well as Kurds, Arabs, and Kerrys attached to the Ottoman Sultan The Tatars, Berbers of the Mia Khanate, and even the Europeans in the Balkans who believed in God but surrendered to the Sudan, with an army of up to 25, gathered in Belgrade one after another.

By March 1684, 3, the west bank of the Sava River outside Belgrade had become a huge military camp.If you look down from a high place, you can find that a large plain is covered with white tents, and all kinds of battle flags and military flags are flying in the wind and fluttering fiercely.

From the early morning of this day, this huge barracks began to boil, with the sound of war drums, bugles, and passwords one after another, streams of soldiers in various uniforms flowed out from each camp, tens of thousands Soldiers from all over the country formed a dense marching formation in front of their respective military flags.Then, under the guidance of the military flag, they left the camp on the bank of the Sava River, and finally formed huge square formations one after another on the open plain outside the camp.

Although the officers and soldiers of the Sudanese Guards have long marked the positions of the troops in the wilderness with triangular flags embroidered with the numbers of the troops, it is necessary to organize these 25 miscellaneous troops into a large army that can be inspected by His Majesty Sultan Mehmet IV. Well, it still takes a lot of time.

It wasn't until eight or nine o'clock in the morning that the 25 troops finally completed their formation, and launched a spectacular formation on the plain on the west bank of the Sava River!

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of their master - the shadow of Allah on earth, the leader of the Cultists all over the world, Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire!

Time passed little by little, and the Grand Vigilante Kara Mustafa of the Sudan had already brought his five-tailed battle flag to the heads of a group of imperial ministers, generals of the guards, and heads of various vassals. They arrived surrounded by people, and a large group of people stood in front of the 25 army, all looking up at the sky... I don't know what is in the sky?

Huang Zhisheng, the Imperial Envoy and Plenipotentiary of the Ming Dynasty in Istanbul, was also among them. He was standing next to the elderly Vichiel with a white beard that grew past his chest, holding a telescope in the Crystal Palace in the direction of the city of Belgrade. wait and see.

Ambassador Huang frowned, as if he was worried about something?The big Vigil next to him also looked worried, and his old face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water.

"I'm coming!"

Someone suddenly shouted in Turkish: "In the sky... there is a huge green ball in the sky! What a god!"

At this time, Huang Zhisheng also saw the huge ball - it was a green hot air balloon with the words "True God bless Sudan" written on it.

This hot air balloon does not fly very high, it is about twenty or thirty feet high. There is a long rope tied to the basket of the balloon, and the other end of the rope hangs down to the ground, dragged by a team of Sudanese guards. go ahead.And in the basket hanging under the balloon, there stood a short and fat man with a gorgeous dress and a big beard.Huang Zhisheng knew that this person was the Ninth Five-Year King of the Ottoman Empire, the first "Flying Sultan" Mehmet IV in history!

This chubby sultan who is not very interested in governing the country but is keen on hunting is the "blessed king".

He became Sultan at a very young age, but he didn't have to worry about this declining empire... because he had his grandmother and mother as regents when he was a child, and that period was called the "Ottoman feminist era".

And when he grew up, another 80-year-old grandfather named Muhammad Koprulu became a big vigilante.

This Albanian from the Sultan's Guards has spent his whole life in the corrupt Ottoman bureaucracy.But after he became Grand Vigilante, he used an iron fist to rectify the bureaucratic system of the Ottoman Empire.It actually revitalized a corrupt, inefficient, and incompetent bureaucratic system.

He not only greatly improved the financial situation of the empire, but also allowed the Sudanese Guards to regain their combat effectiveness.

Under his iron-fisted leadership, the Ottoman army won consecutive victories in Crete, Transylvania and other places, reviving the reputation of the empire.

After the death of Muhammad Koprulu, the bureaucratic system he left behind and several capable ministers of Koprulu's family are still playing a role, trying to prevent the empire from declining again.

Although the Ottoman Empire was defeated by Shinra and the Central European Allied Forces in the war of 1663, its vitality was not injured, and it soon found its place in the war against Poland and Rakshasa, and seized the right bank of Ukraine.

However, Mehmet IV was obviously unwilling to be just a "conqueror of the right-bank Ukraine". He wanted greater victories to make him famous in history and become one of the greatest sultans of the empire.

At the same time, he also wanted to rejuvenate the aging empire he ruled... and the only conquest target that could allow the Sultan to fulfill his wish, looking at Europe, was Vienna, the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, the old enemy of the Ottoman Empire!

In order to win Vienna, Muhammad IV also went all out, took out the capital of the empire, and went all out to prepare for the war from the year before last-according to the original plan, the war to attack Vienna should have been launched last year.

But just when the Sultan was about to raise the Nine Horsetails battle flag in the garden of his palace, a mission from the Ming Empire, a mysterious oriental power, was suddenly escorted to Istanbul by the Crimean Khan Murad Grai.

The reason why the Crimean Khan personally escorted a mission to Istanbul was because this Ming mission was so important to the Sudan's conquest of Vienna!

This Ming mission not only sent Sudan a sharp weapon that could easily destroy the solid city walls of Vienna-military white sugar.He also brought a treasure that can bring His Majesty the Sultan closer to the true God - a hot air balloon!

And in order to boost the morale of the 10,000+ miscellaneous troops under his command, Sultan Muhammad IV played the second biggest game today!

He ventured onto a brand new green leather balloon, dragged out of the palace by his personal soldiers, and floated all the way over the army that was holding the swearing-in ceremony.

"Look! The Sultan is in heaven!"

Someone in the Sudanese army waiting for the review had already seen the "Sudan Balloon" in the sky, and immediately shouted.

"Long live, the Sultan is coming!"

"Long live...God bless, the sultan can fly!"
