Chapter 02: Drinking water Nanming destroyed and the Qing army invaded Myanmar

When Mangbai heard this, he couldn't breathe out his anger. He said, "Just now, I was very dissatisfied with the king's palace. I didn't see the Ming Emperor Zhu Youyu personally come to congratulate him, nor the envoys he sent. Unexpectedly, he, the exiled small court, didn't even send a congratulatory gift. It's really rude. It can't be more than this."

The insider was too timid to say anything. The queen said with jealousy, "Your Majesty is very right. The Ming Emperor is already a homeless dog who has lost his country. He even took out the shelf of the heavenly kingdom. If he doesn't pay attention to His Majesty, he doesn't know the current affairs at all. It seems that he still misses Ping Dali's kindness to take him in for three years and is unwilling to show his greetings to His Majesty.

"What the Queen said is not bad at all. Pingdili ignored the safety of Myanmar. Under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty, Zhu Youling and his little court stayed in Ava for three years. Zhu Youling must be grateful to him. In order to protect Myanmar from the Qing Dynasty and kill the faint king Ping Dali, the king naturally resented the king. He did not come to the king's accession to the throne, which made it clear his attitude of contempt for me. Mang Bai said angrily.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Youruo despises Your Majesty so much that he should teach him some lessons. It's also so that he can know whose land he is in now!" The queen said viciously.

"That's natural. I have made up my mind to give Zhu Youlu to the Qing Dynasty. First, I can avoid the Qing army from invading Burma, and secondly, I can ask for benefits from the Qing Dynasty. Now add another one, that is, Zhu Youlu to pay the price for today's rudeness. Mangbai said equally viciously.

"Your Majesty said it very much. Although Ming Emperor Zhu Youlu is already a homeless dog, his subordinates also have Li Dingguo and others to fight for him. Li Dingguo had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, frequently harassing the Qing army on the border between Yunnan and Myanmar. In case the Qing Dynasty is angered and troops are sent to invade Myanmar, it will not be easy to do. The queen said quickly.

"Not only that, Zhu Youlu and Ping Dili have a good personal relationship, and I heard that they have settled their children's in-laws. In case Zhu Yuqi's people collude with the remnants of Pingdari in the court and overthrow the king, not only will my life be in order, but Myanmar may also be involved in the war with the Qing Dynasty. Said recklessly.

When the queen heard this, she looked frightened. She said, "Your Majesty, I'm really worried when you say this. It seems that Your Majesty should prepare early. On the one hand, he should get rid of the remnants of Pingdali in the court and prevent their restoration. On the other hand, eliminate the power of Li Dingguo as soon as possible so that Zhu Youguo can be handed over to the Qing Dynasty.

Mang Bai laughed and said, "Queen, don't worry too much. I have just ascended the throne, and my foothold is unstable. I can't be too harsh on the remnants of Ping Dali in the court to prevent them from colluding with Zhu Youqi and breaking a fish net to threaten my throne. In a few months, while negotiating with the Qing Dynasty to fight for greater interests for Myanmar, while waiting for Li Dingguo's army to be finished. At that time, I can have no worries and take the remnants of Ping Dali and Zhu Youlu.

"Father, grandmother Wang has always liked Uncle Pingdili. Is she also the remnant of Pingdili? There is also Princess Suya, the daughter of Uncle Pingdali. She is the same age as me, only one month older than me. Is she the remnants of Pingdili? Kira was also attracted by the words of her father and mother and suddenly asked.

"Jira. Your grandmother likes Ping Dali, and she also likes your father. As long as we treat her well, she will like you as much as she likes Suya. The queen said with a smile.

"Then why didn't Grandma Wang come to attend her father's accession ceremony? When his father became king, isn't the king's grandmother still the empress dowager? Why did she hide in her bedroom and don't want to see her father? Kira asked.

Jila's question made the Queen so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer it. Mangbai said with a forced smile, "Your grandmother and the Heili family have lived in the palace for a long time, and they have more affection for the Pingdari family than us. This is human behavior. Your father killed Ping Dali, a stupid king for the future of Myanmar. Your grandmother couldn't think about it for a moment and didn't want to forgive your father, and the father wouldn't blame her.

"Father, what will you do with Uncle Ping Dali's son and daughter? Will you kill them to prevent their restoration? Jira asked seriously.

"Jira, your cousin is terminally ill. I don't have to kill him, and he won't live long. I'm worried about your cousin Suya. Although she is a girl, she is only eight years old. She is the apple of your grandmother, and it is said that Zhu Cixuan, the son of Zhu Youlang, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, has been married. In this way, she is the quasi-prince concubine of the Ming Dynasty. In case the Ming Dynasty colluded with the remnants of Ping Dali under the banner of elegance, it would not be good. Said recklessly.

"Your Majesty, the marriage between Su Ya and the prince of the Ming Dynasty is just a rumor. Pingdili has never officially announced it, and maybe it's just a joke. The queen comforted.

"It doesn't look like a joke. If it weren't for the marriage of his children, why did Ping Dili insist on receiving Zhu Youlu under the pressure of the Qing Dynasty? Even if it's a joke, if someone uses this sentence to make waves, it's enough to merge the remnants of Ping Dali and Zhu Youlang's forces. Mangbai dared not take it lightly.

"But the Empress Dowager will not let anyone move a simple finger. After Suya's mother committed suicide, the Empress Dowager took Suya to the Empress Dowager's Palace to protect her. The queen reminded.

"If it's just the relationship between mother and queen, I'm not too worried. The mother is old and can't protect Su Ya for long. It's not too late to give Suya a glass of poisoned wine when her mother is gone. What I am worried about is the husband of Suyana, who still has an army - the rude and arrogant Ming Dynasty royal family. Said recklessly.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long-term, but is today's matter settled? On such a happy day, the Ming Emperor came to add a bet. The concubine meant that he should send someone to ask the Ming Emperor for a congratulatory gift and scolded the Ming Emperor for not coming to congratulate him. The queen said.

Mangbai nodded quickly and said, "The queen is in line with me. Send an envoy to see the Ming people quickly."

The Burmese envoy soon came to Zhu Youlu, the Ming emperor, and arrogantly expressed his intention to Li Guotai, the eunuch-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. Li Guotai was surprised when he heard this and quickly explained to the Burmese envoy, "Our dynasty has sent an envoy to the King of Myanmar with a congratulatory gift. What did the envoy say that the messenger hasn't arrived yet?

The Burmese envoy was furious when he heard this. He scolded: "When the king ascended the throne, the Ming people did not prepare for generous gifts, and the Ming emperor did not go to congratulate him. This is your rudeness. Why are you still pretending to be confused now?"

Li Guotai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the son of heaven, and Myanmar is a country belonging to the Ming Dynasty. How can your majesty personally go to congratulate the king of Myanmar? Your Majesty did send an envoy with a pair of white jade elephants to congratulate him. Did there be an accident on the way?

The Burmese envoy said disdainfully: "No accidents have happened to the envoys of various countries? Why did you have an accident? Our country has taken in the Ming Emperor for three years, and you should thank our country again. You people don't know how to repay your kindness and insist on not sending gifts, and God will not bless you." After saying that, he left in anger.

Li Guotai felt that the matter was of great importance, and Ma* reported the matter to the Ming Emperor Zhu Youlu.

Zhu Youqi wears a royal costume, wears a "horse mane tile cap", wears a "pure silk yellow sleeve robe", wears a "yellow ribbon" at the waist, and wears exquisite clothes. In addition, he is magnificent and 38 years old, and still shows a heroic spirit without losing his imperial demeanor.

However, as an exiled emperor, he has been haggard under the shelter of three years. He is always worried that Myanmar will not withstand the pressure of the Qing Dynasty to hand him over to the Qing Dynasty. When Pingdili was executed, this worry reached the level of difficulty in sleeping and eating.

Today, Mangbai ascended the throne, and Zhu Youlu was even more restless. Zhu Yuyan despised and hated the mangbai who killed his brother and usurped the throne from the bottom of his heart. But under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads? After a fierce inner struggle, Zhu Yu finally decided to send an envoy to take the white jade elephant to congratulate Mangbai. But in his heart, he always feels ashamed of Ping Dali, who has taken him in for three years.

Just as Zhu Youqi was restless, Li Guotai came in with a solemn face and reported to Zhu Youqi that the Burmese envoy came to ask for a congratulatory gift and scolded the Ming Emperor for not going to congratulate him.

"How could there be such a thing? My congratulatory gifts and envoys disappeared out of thin air? Did the Burmese envoy really say that? Zhu Youqi suddenly turned pale and said in a trance.

"Your Majesty, what's so good? Seeing that the Burmese envoy was very angry, they didn't see the envoy I sent to congratulate him at all, and they didn't receive the white jade elephant!" Li Guotai said with a crying voice.

"How can this be good? King Mangbai of Myanmar must think that I despise him. Damn Zhang Eun, he and those bad servants must have kidnapped the white jade elephant and escaped!" Zhu Youqi said this, and he never dreamed that the crow spirit held the white jade elephant hostage.

"But Your Majesty, you can't congratulate Mangbai in person! Now it is urgent to send another envoy to bring a gift to congratulate the king of Myanmar. Li Guotai said anxiously.

Zhu Youqi sighed helplessly, "All right. You will personally bring the treasure to congratulate Mangbai. By the way, explain what happened today and let him send a heavy force to track down the whereabouts of the white jade elephant. As for what kind of gift to send, it's up to you. Anyway, except for those white jade elephants, I don't have any strange treasures.

Li Guotai chose some treasures as a congratulatory gift according to Zhu Youyu's intention and personally took people to congratulate Mangbai. And show the matter of the white jade elephant to Mangbai. However, Mangbai didn't believe that anyone dared to kidnap the gift given to him in Ava and determined that Ming was fooling him. He has made up his mind to hand over Zhu Yulin to the Qing Dynasty, and he will definitely do what he has decided.

Two months later, the army of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin of the Ming Dynasty, who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the border area between Yunnan and Myanmar, was severely damaged, and the army lost seven out of ten. At this time, Mangbai had basically cleared the remnants of Ping Dali in his eyes, and some progress had been made in the secret negotiations with the Qing Dynasty, so Mang Bai decided to attack Zhu Youlu.

On July 16, it rained heavily in Ava. Burmese king Mangbai suddenly sent someone to inform Mingchen of the matter. In view of the delicate relationship between the two sides, Mingchen was suspicious and afraid to go. On the 18th, as soon as the three-day heavy rain in Ava stopped, the Burmese envoy said, "I'm afraid you have other intentions. This wants you to go to the riverside to 'drink curse water' together and swear to God. In this way, we can also strengthen trade exchanges, otherwise we will break off the relationship and your life will be more difficult.

Mingchen didn't know what to do. Mu Tianbo, Duke of Qian of Yunnan, Shizhen, replied, "I am the upper state of the heavenly dynasty. Your king should answer here, which is the gift of the lower state. You went to tell the king and said that the emperor of heaven was just caused by fate. Now that he has gone to a place where there is no life, how can he be bullied by your natives? Although my king and minister are poor, the king dares not be rude.

However, the Burmese envoy did not allow it, and Zhu Yu still had to send someone there. Finally, it was decided that Ma Jixiang, a university scholar, Marquis of Wen'an, and Li Guotai, an eunuch, would go there. Ma Jixiang proposed that Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou, would go with him, and said, "Mu is a figure valued by the states and Tusi on the southwest border. With Mu Tianbo present, Myanmar will not cause any accidents." Zhu Youqi agreed. The Burmese monarch and minister also reluctantly agreed to realize their plan.

At dawn the next day, Ma Jixiang and other officials gathered large and small officials to go to the tower of the Burmese army to prepare to "drink the curse water" oath, leaving only 13 internal officials and the lame general Deng Kai to guard the palace. In the morning, as soon as the civil and military officials arrived under the tower, they were surrounded by Burmese soldiers ambushed there. The Burmese commander ordered Mu Tianbo to be dragged out of the encirclement. Mu Tianbo knew the variables and seized the sword of the guard and rose up to resist and kill nine Burmese soldiers. The generals Wei Bao, Wang Sheng and Wang Qilong also grabbed firewood sticks and fought back. In the end, they were killed because they were outnumbered.

Ma Jixiang shouted, "Duke of Guizhou." The knife of the Burmese soldiers came over. Ma Jixiang fell into a pool of blood. Li Guotai, Ma Xiongfei, Wang Weigong, generals Wang Zijin, Chen Qian, etc. died one after another under the knives of Burmese soldiers. A total of 42 people were killed this time. After the murder of the subordinates of the Ming Dynasty, the Burmese army immediately swarmed into the residence of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, killing hundreds of people in an instant. At the same time, they plundered the property of the woman and raped and killed the woman in public. The scene was very miserable.

Zhu Youqi, the godless emperor, was scared by this sudden disaster and saw the scene of the woman being raped and killed. In a hurry, he decided to beg himself with the Empress of the Central Palace to avoid humiliation. The queen burst into tears and was reluctant to part with her 13-year-old son Zhu Cixuan. However, at Zhu Yurong's insistence, he could only nod and agree, and took out Bai Ling to prepare to be Hang himself with Zhu Yuqi.

Deng Kai, the general guard, saw this scene and advised: "The Empress Dowager is old and drifting into a foreign land. The emperor's loss of social Ji is already unfaithful. Now he has left the Empress Dowager and is unfilial. How can he see the former emperor underground? Zhu Youqi suddenly woke up and gave up his intention to suicide. He roared: "Heaven is dead and the Ming Dynasty"!

The Burmese soldiers gathered Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlu, the Empress Dowager, the Empress, the Prince and others in a small house. Prince Zhu Cixuan is only 13 years old and is still a young boy. His face is beautiful, and his eyes are clear. It was also full of tears. Constantly comforting the empress dowager, father and mother. There was a desolate sound in the house. Zhu Youqi cried and said to the empress dowager, "Mother, the emperor is unfilial, which makes you suffer." The Empress Dowager hurriedly said, "Don't cry, it's up to fate. If the sky dies, we have to follow God's will. Zhu Cixuan said, "Grandmother, God will bless us. The Ming Dynasty will definitely recover." The Empress Dowager said, "Child, the burden of Daming Guangfu depends on you."

The queen was very relieved to see Zhu Cixuan so calm. Touching Zhu Cixuan, he said, "Emperor, don't cry, you have to carry the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty. No matter when, the Queen Mother hopes that you can live well. Don't be afraid. In any situation, the mother and father, as well as your grandmother, will be with the emperor. Zhu Youqi said, "As a royal family, I am in troubled times. He should be wise and have no hesitation. It just makes me reluctant to be reluctant. One is the elderly mother and the other is the young emperor. Zhu Cixuan hurriedly said, "Since the emperor was born in the royal family, he is a member of the royal family. He should advance and retreat with the royal family and share honor and disgrace. Father and mother don't need to be worried because the emperor's son is still young. The three empresses, the emperor and empresses all nodded with joy.

The family members of the officials were insulted. Liu and Yang, Zhu Yourong, all died byhanging themselves. The Burmese minister just came and shouted to the Burmese soldiers: "The king has an order not to hurt the Ming Emperor and his family. Violators, be beheaded!" Its hypocrisy and cunning can be seen.

On the 21st, after cleaning up the original residence of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, they asked them to move back here and sent them food and clothing. He argued: "The king didn't mean to do this. It was just because the Jin and Gong vassals killed the local people, and the Burmese people hated them to the bone, so the revenge was implicted by the Ming people."

After this blow, Zhu Youlu is completely desperate for the future. On November 18, Zhu Youlu said to Deng Kai, the empress dowager fell ill again. If God's will is irreparable, let him kill me. Don't worry about the connection. But I hope you can return the bones of the Empress Dowager to your hometown. Deng Kai replied, "I will do my best. May Your Majesty take care of the dragon body. Zhu Youqi smiled bitterly and said, "What's the matter with life and death, the dead king!"

Capture Zhu Yourong, and the greedy desire is even more inflated. In negotiations with the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty was asked to hand over some tribes in Yunnan to Myanmar. It even deliberately released the wind, saying that in case the Qing Dynasty could not meet Myanmar's requirements, Myanmar would not only not hand over Zhu Youlu to the Qing Dynasty, but also support Zhu Yu's anti-Qing and restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the reckless blackmail still failed. Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty, decided to abandon the negotiations and send troops to Awa, the capital of Myanmar. Forced Myanmar to hand over Zhu Yuxuan obediently.

From the border to Ava, Wu Sangui led the Qing army to be invincible, and the Burmese army collapsed at a touch. The Qing army drank the Mawa River, and Awa, the capital of Myanmar, was like something in the pocket of the Qing army.

"Your Majesty, the Qing army is unstoppable. It has reached the Wa River, and the capital Awa is in danger. Let's hand over Zhu Youqi to Wu Sangui. Don't want the tribes in Yunnan. Wu Sangui is not easy to mess with. The Queen of Myanmar, who is usually proud of the spring breeze, said anxiously.

"I didn't expect Wu Sangui to be so powerful. He didn't even give me several tribes on the border. It seems that I underestimated him before! Such a person guarding Yunnan is not the gospel of Myanmar. Anyway, I turned around and handed over Zhu Youqi and other people to him in exchange for the Qing army to withdraw from Myanmar. However, one day, Wu Sangui will bow his head to me, and the future will be long!" Mangbai said firmly.

On the third day of December, a group of Burmese soldiers suddenly came to Zhu Yourong's residence and said, "The Qing state soldiers came to the city, and your majesty should move away as soon as possible." After saying that, he lifted Zhu Yuqi and left, regardless of Zhu Yuqi's loud scolding. In addition, the empress dowager, the queen and the crown prince Zhu Cixuan were also forcibly pulled in the sedan chair.

After the Burmese soldiers escorted down the land for five miles, they arrived at the river bank. When they crossed the river, they only heard the exchange of soldiers and horses on the other side, and the voices were noisy.

In order to hide the Ming Emperor Zhu Youlu, the vanguard of the Qing army arranged in advance that the former king of the iron cavalry who surrendered to Qing Dynasty would wait by the river. As long as Zhu Yu's boat arrived on the shore, he came forward to meet him and panicked that he had come to meet him by the order of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin. Zhu Youzhen believed it, was happy, and praised Wang Hui.

It was not until Wang Hui sent Yongli and his party into the Qing military camp that Zhu Yu found that he had been deceived, indignant, and reprimanded Wang Hui's traitor. Wang Hui felt guilty and retreated without saying a word. Three years after fleeing to Myanmar, Zhu Yourong is finally going back to Yunnan. However, this time he became a prisoner in the hands of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi in the Qing Dynasty. Zhu Youqi's arrest marked the complete demise of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

December 9th, Wu Sangui's class teacher. On the way back to Yunnan, Wu Sangui put Zhu's family in a tent in a nearby place when he went to camp, which was closely guarded by Manchurian officers and soldiers. After the wife and concubine of the Ming Dynasty official who originally followed Zhu Youlu escaped the curse water, she was robbed by Manchurian officers and soldiers. Only five small internal officials, three or four ugly little maids, and Deng Kai, a lame bodyguard, were left to wait for Zhu Youying.

Zhu Youqi lost his soul and recited the popular "Bie Yunjian" over and over again.

Three years of tourists, today is the Southern Crown.

Infinite rivers and mountains tears, who says the world is wide!

It is known that the spring road is close, and it is difficult to leave your hometown.

On the day of the return of perseverance, the spiritual flag is empty.
