Chapter 587 The Beacon Smoke of the Central South Peninsula 1

In the south-central part of Myanmar, the Rukkai State, because of the previous friendly relations between Britain and Burma, the British gained a lot of convenience in entering and leaving Myanmar. Therefore, when the fleet of the British East India Company appeared in the provincial capital of the Rukkai State, which was also the former capital of the Kingdom of Arakan, the port city was actually exchanged, it did not attract those guards. The vigilance of the Burmese garrison in the port.

The British East India Company's fleet attacked the mainland of the Chinese Empire two and a half years ago and was hit hard by Liang Pengfei. Most of its capital ships and fleets almost became Liang Pengfei's victory. There were almost two or three shrimps left in the British East India Company's fleet.

However, with the arrival of the east with the merchant ships, cargo ships and warships that Liang Pengfei bought in Europe in the name of the implementation of the Treaty of London and in the name of the escort fleet, the escort fleet stayed in the British in the east after completing the handover of ships and goods between Temasek and the Chinese Empire. The latter colony of Penang once again enriched the strength of the British East India Company fleet.

Although it has not been able to return to the level before the war, this ship, with five third-class battleships as the main force, has also become a maritime force in the Indian Ocean that is strong enough to deter him.

After the British East India Company fleet, which was previously promised to transport Myanmar's ordnance, suddenly raised its flag representing the Kingdom of Arakan, it began to make a crazy attack on the Burmese navy and garrison guarding the port. Countless artillery fire poured out, making the more than 12,000 Burmese navy. The team raised the white flag almost less than two hours before the war, which was only the first step.

Then, when the news of the capture of Shidui was still in the future, the British began to flow up the estuary along the intersection of the Lemu River and the Galatan River, cooperating with the landing British troops and the rebel army of the Kingdom of Arakan contacted by King Durran Ladze. With lightning speed, the soldiers were straight. It refers to the former capital of the Kingdom of Arakan.

Mauhangnena, the capital of the original Arakan Kingdom, was torn apart by the Kingdom of Myanmar. In the royal palace with only a few palaces, General Aung Sansu was holding a beauty who was mixed with Arakan and Portuguese blood tasting wine and enjoying the original Arakan song and dance. However, a rumble of cannons shattered his enjoyment.

When General Aung San Su, who was shocked, hurriedly rushed out of the hall with a knife, he heard that the fleet and army holding the flag of the former King of Arakan were attacking Muhang.

Listening to his subordinates panic, he said that the countless warships were opening fire on the wall, and in the south of the city, thousands of troops were flocking to the royal flag of the kingdom of Arakan, which had been destroyed.

--------------------

"I also heard the rebels outside the city keep shouting long live the king. Now there has begun to be chaos in the city.

Hearing the panicked news of the subordinates who summoned, General Aung Sansu, whose heart had been sinking, ordered to leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the chaos in the city, and the rest of the soldiers went to the city to defend the city.

However, compared with Myanmar, which is still a cold weapon combat mode, the British [***] team and fleet with pure firearms troops have completely gained the upper hand.

In just an hour, the wall of Muhang collapsed under the bombardment of those warships and heavy artillery, and in the south of the city, the British army with the Arrakans also had a large number of artillery, facing the crazy attacks of the British and the Arrakans, with less than 20 gates. The Burmese defenders, whose main weapons are still big knives and spears, only lasted for more than two hours. After a large number of armed men lurking in the city began to riot the citizens, General Aung Sansu had to lead the defeated generals to escape from the former capital of the Kingdom of Arakan.

In less than two days, more than half of Myanmar's 30,000 troops stationed in the former Kingdom of Arakan were killed and injured. When the news reached Mandare, the capital of Myanmar, they were rejoicing the news that their army had entered the territory of the Chinese Empire and had even laid several toast territories without any resistance. Meng Yun was so surprised that he almost couldn't even speak.

After confirming the news, the news that Britain, which had just signed an offensive and defensive alliance with it a few months ago, was helping the Algan Kingdom, which was destroyed by Myanmar, to restore the country and invaded the former Algan territory, and now the territory of Myanmar.

The angry King Meng Yun immediately ordered to arrest the members of the British Mission who lived in the post, but the reward was that the members of the British Mission had quietly left Mandalay a few days ago.

At this moment, King Meng Yun believed that he must have been trapped by the British. He deliberately used a large amount of wealth and firearms to persuade himself to attack the Chinese Empire in order to delay his heavy troops. After that, he secretly united with the remnants of the Arakan royal family who fled to the Portuguese colony to restore the country for Arakan. In the name of, plot your own country.

"These shameless white ghosts and capricious despicable people should be suppressed in the 18th floor of hell forever and accept the suffering of the Buddha's anger forever." King Meng Yun stood in the palace and roared angrily. In the distance, the Buddha statue of Damuni, the national treasure of the former Arakan Kingdom, which was plundered by the Burmese captives to the temple of the Burmese royal capital, coldly maintained his smiling expression of the world, which formed a sharp contrast with the twisted face of the Burmese king Meng Yun.

"Your Majesty, I think that I should immediately take in the conscription and order it to go south to destroy the rebel enemies of Arakan. With the help of the capricious Yingyi people, the remnants of the Arakan Kingdom have appeared in the past, and then delayed the whole area of the original Arakan Kingdom is probably... A minister stood up and said loudly.

"No, Your Majesty, now our northern march is like a broken bamboo. I'm afraid that in less than a month, the front of our army can go straight to Baoshan City. As long as we can work harder, maybe even Dali City can be taken down. At that time, we can attack and retreat and defend." There are also people who are unwilling to give up the record of the North.

The first speaker sneered and retorted, "Well, General Chacha, can't you see that although our army has marched smoothly now, so far, including those Tusi, we have been retreating step by step, and we haven't even seen the army of that empire. Who knows what it will be? It's a trap."

"Trap? What else is there to trap? Are you afraid? Don't forget that the empire has fought with our Kingdom of Myanmar more than ten times in the past few decades, and even their prime ministers have come to lead the army to fight, but we in Myanmar still haven't lost an inch of land.

"But don't forget that in order to fight against that empire, we have lost nearly 100,000 troops, as well as Kachin and the Sein states in the north. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes and been displaced. There are still many resentment against the court, and there are often rebellions."

"You! ..." The general Zha rose up suddenly. Several generations of kings in the Kingdom of Myanmar are determined to go north. Can't we give up the current results in such a good situation? ......"

--------------------

A group of ministers who quarreled happily below said that no one would obey anyone, and King Meng Yun himself was also in a dilemma.

In the north, Myanmar has always been salivating China's Yunnan. Several generations of Burmese kings have invaded on a small scale, but they were beaten back without exception. When he came to his grandfather's, it was even more because of the invasion of Yunnan that annoyed the Tatar emperor Qianlong, who used to control the empire. In the end, although Myanmar kept it. Its own land, but the northern part of Myanmar is almost in ruins.

And Myanmar has to beg for mercy and bows its head, but their ambitions are still not extinct, and their desire to expand their territory has been ready to move.

Now, under the temptation of the British, coupled with a large number of firearms rations, Meng Yunwang, who had been peeping at Yunnan, has also become moved from the beginning.

In order to be able to attack Yunnan and occupy it, King Meng Yun transferred more than half of the elites from all over the country to gather in the north. However, the war has just begun for a little more than a month, and the achievements he has obtained are making him very excited. He even want to go to the front line in person and enjoy the posture of conquerors. When he entered Baoshan City, he received the bad news that the British cooperated with the remnants of the Kingdom of Arakan in the south to provoke the rebellion of the Arakaya State, which originally belonged to the Kingdom of Arakan, and the southern part of Chin State.

Just as Meng Yun himself thoughtlessly, the ministers below had evolved from talking to playing with fists and feet. He had to shout angrily at the imperial case. That's enough! Shut up. Have you all forgotten that this is the palace?

A group of ministers had to wipe off the foam from the corners of their mouths and plead guilty to King Meng Yun.

"... My Myanmar's northward advance is smooth, and the results of the battle should not be abandoned lightly. Otherwise, how can I be worthy of thousands of hard-working soldiers? I decided to first transfer the remaining troops of the countries to suppress the rebellion, and order Mara to supervise and transfer 20,000 troops back to the capital. If things change, it will not be too late." Meng Yun thought for a long time and finally came up with a compromise.

Although the ministers of the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition have not achieved their respective goals, they also know that this is the safest choice at present.

However, only seven days after this safe choice, the whole area that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Arakan is already full of beacon smoke. With the help of the British and the support of those volunteers who did not want to be ruled by Burma, the former prince of the Kingdom of Arrakan, Durham, ascended the throne in the old capital, Muhang. Call on all the people of the Arakan Kingdom to take up arms to resist the cruel rule of Myanmar and restore the glory of the Arakan Kingdom.
