Chapter 588 The Smoke of the Central South Peninsula 2
The British guns make it difficult for the Burmese army to match with big knives and spears. After retreating, the cities that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Arakan were being restored by the British and Arab coalition forces one by one. The momentum of the king of Arakan, Durham, became stronger and more, and a large number of rebels defected to the command of Durham, making Durhamras became more and more powerful. In just over a month, there were only 10,000. The Arakan King [***] team of the crows has actually swelled to 30,000 people, and it is still increasing.
It's useless for King Meng Yun of Myanmar to be angry. He had to issue an order again. Under the Baoshan City, which he thought could be easily captured, the Burmese army, which was advancing all the way, finally encountered resistance. 120,000 troops took turns to attack the city. The strong and well-defended Baoshan City did not move. Moreover, on the top of Baoshan City The artillery was not inferior or even surpassed the Burmese army, making the Burmese army more helpless.
By this time, one of the British troops had already hit Minwu City in Magui Province, almost one step away from Magui City, the seat of Magui Province.
The voice of the original strong support for the Northern Expedition has become smaller and smaller at this moment, and the voice of the power to quell the rebellion south is getting louder and louder. After all, if Magwe City is lost, then those damn rebels can even force Mandalay, the capital of Myanmar. At that time, it will be too late to transfer troops to the south.
Although King Meng Yun was reluctant to spit out the meat that had reached his mouth, the situation in the south was already dangerous. The panicked and angry King Meng Yun had to order the commander of Mara, who led the Northern Expedition, to transfer another 50,000 troops to help, and the rest of the soldiers and horses retreated to the occupied Longling and other places to wait for help. After the rebellion in the south was put down, Xutu Baoshan and other places.
The reason why King Meng Yun is so confident is that the British supported their firearms and used them in the Northern Expeditionary Army. Now, all of them are transferred to the south, and both sides hold firearms, and the Burmese army is very popular. How can they be invincible? At least King Meng Yun had already gritted his teeth and made a decision. When he broke through the fallacy and caught the remnants of the Arakan royal family, Durham, he must trample this guy alive to death with an elephant to eliminate his hatred.
And just as King Meng Yun dispatched troops south from the states and provinces of Myanmar, he made up his mind to teach those capricious, despicable and shameless Britons and the damned Algan's remnants. The situation in the north was secretly changing.
As early as the beginning of the Myanmar military mobilization, the Tusi and tribal leaders of Kachin and the Sein states secretly contacted some people of unknown origin during this period. When Myanmar mobilized its army to attack Yunnan, it began to collect grain and fodder and supplies in Kachin, Shinan and other places. In the past decades, Every war has made Kachin State and the people in the territory of Myanmar adjacent to Yunnan suffer countless hardships. The tribal leaders can only watch their homes become the battlefields of Myanmar and those ravaged by the Qing army.
--------------------
Now, the Myanmar army is marching north again. More than 100,000 troops need food and various materials, and the same number of people are requisitioned from Kachin and Syan, making the complaint even more serious. However, this time, although the scale of the war was unprecedented, it did not cause chaos in Kachin and Shaan as before. The leading governor Mara thought that the toast and tribal leaders of these two states were finally more knowledgeable than before. In fact, what he did not expect was that he sent troops to search for the toast and tribes. After the grain and fodder, a large amount of grain was quietly sent to these toasts and tribes from Yunnan.
When it came that the British and Arab coalition forces began to invade the Rakhine state in southern Myanmar, a large number of unidentified troops quietly entered the Kachin and Syan regions of Myanmar from Yunnan. With the help of the local chiefs and tribal leaders, they gathered people. The smoky northern part of Kachin State and the eastern part of the state of Syan.
It's like two blood-eating beasts lurking in the primitive jungle. After quietly avoiding the cover of trees, they staring at the prey that eats grass and drinks water leisurely by the stream. As long as the time is right, they will jump out of the bunker mercilessly and tear the prey to pieces with their sharp claws.
In the east of the Kingdom of Myanmar, when the founder of the Chakri Dynasty, who had lost half of the country, bowed his head to the former Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhao Piye, the king of Siam, who claimed to be the son of Zheng Xin, was full of despair at this moment.
Since he accepted Ruan Fuying, the king of the Annan Dynasty, the former opponent, now the subjugated king, the bad luck seems to have begun to come to Siam. First, a large number of Chinese troops appeared in small countries such as Nanzhang in the north, and then in the south, the port that was once annexed by Siam and Annan Southern Dynasties. The country began to march north, and now the Kingdom of Cambodia, without a monarch, is no opponent of the long-planned Chinese empire's army.
In less than three months, the new king of Cambodia ascended the throne under the title of the Chinese Empire. After that, he bowed to the Chinese Empire and returned all the land that originally belonged to the port country to his country.
One country after another on the Zhongnan Peninsula bowed to the Chinese Empire, and began to vigorously promote Sinology Chinese characters in their respective countries. Those Chinese people opened Sinology schools. The armies and officials of these countries accounted for a large proportion of the Chinese. In addition to Myanmar, there were also Siam.
However, just a year ago, the Annan puppet emperor issued an order to conquer Siam. After that, the port country, the Kingdom of Cambodia and the four Laos countries responded together, with Li Dashuang, the governor of Annan, as the commander, leading more than 80,000 people of the four-nation coalition to start the invasion of Siam.
The Siamate was attacked on three sides, covered by the left and blocked. Zhao Piye led the army to eat milk, but it was still defeated. The territory in the east and north of Thailand was gradually erosed by the allied forces of these countries.
Half a year ago, after Liang Pengfei, the actual controller of Annan and the owner of Nanyang, began to attack the Manchu Empire, the pressure on Siam was much lighter. Zhao Piye was a little relieved. After thinking about it, he originally wanted to keep the king of Annan Nan Dynasty who fled to Siam. Ruan Fuying and his son, when the time is ripe, the idea of invading Cambodia and Annan has to be dispelled.
He directly ordered Ruan Fuying and his son to be slaughtered, and his head was presented to Li Dashuang's camp. He also offered a large number of gifts and tribute books, claiming that he was willing to pay tribute to the Chinese Empire as before.
The governor Li did not agree or refuse, but the momentum of the attack stopped temporarily, which made Zhao Piye and Kerry breathe a sigh of relief, but what he didn't expect was that just a month ago, a harshly worded letter was placed to Narama I Zhao Piye and Kerry's. In front of.
That is the ultimatum issued by Liang Pengfei, who overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty and became the supreme ruler of the Chinese Empire.
The reason is very simple, that is, Zhao Piye but Kerry, the Rama I, dared to deceive the great, noble and authoritative head of state of the Chinese empire (the name of Liang Moumou before he ascended the throne).
--------------------
In the letter, all the things that Zhao Piye and Kerry had deliberately concealed were listed.
First of all, Zhao Piye Chakri is a usurper of power. He is only a general of Zheng Xin, the former king of Siam. After usurping the throne, he pretended to be Zheng Hua, the son of Zheng Xin.
Secondly, Zhao Piye not only killed Zheng Xin's whole family, but also killed the Chinese generals and officials in Siam.
Because after Zheng Xin, a Chinese native, became king, he had many Chinese troops, and a large number of Chinese generals emerged, who made great contributions to Zheng Xin's creation of the Thonburi Dynasty. After that, many Chinese became Siamese generals and officials, so that the Chinese gained a large number of Chinese in Siam. Privilege, the status of the Chinese in Siam has been steamed, and a large number of people from the southeast coast of China have poured into Siam, known as the royal Chinese.
All this has led to the dissatisfaction of many former Siamese nobles who lost power. After Zhao Piye killed Zheng Xin, in order to please the Siamese nobles and eliminate the Chinese forces in the country, he began to raise butcher's knives to a large number of Chinese officials and generals.
Later, Liang Pengfei pointed out in the letter that after Zhaoshui, the son of Zheng Xin, was imprisoned, three children escaped from Siam under the cover of his confidant ministers. When they went to Nanzhang, only one son, Zheng Xiong, survived and was accepted as an adopted son by the important minister of the Southern State.
He is an unspeakable usurper, and he is also a murderer of the Chinese indiscriminately. At the same time, he is also a robber with strong ambitions for the territory of the Chinese Empire.
Therefore, Liang Pengfei finally pointed out that either Zhao Piye but Kerry led the crowd and welcomed Zheng Xiong as emperor, Zhao Piye but Kerry and his son apologized themselves, and his grandson was a monk. The Chinese Empire could consider letting Zhao Piye but Kerry go. Otherwise, those who waited for Zhao Piye but Kerry would be killed by the whole family!
After receiving this letter, Zhao Piye locked himself in his bedroom for three days and didn't see anyone. After sending this letter.
In addition to the original several allied forces, an army composed of Chinese has been added, known as the restoration of the Siamese Thonburi Dynasty [***], and the nominal commander of this army is Zheng Xiong, the direct grandson of Emperor Zheng Xin.
This army is completely an elite army of pure heat weapons armed to the teeth, with the flag of the Thonburi Dynasty in the past. Under the cover of the multinational coalition forces, it marched all the way. In just over a month, Siam has broken through several cities, and tens of thousands of Siamese troops are in front of this terrible elite army. The ashes were extinguished, and its forward had reached the city of Bazhen, which is only 300 miles away from the Siamese capital of Bangkok. At this speed, in up to five or six days, the so-called Siamese Thonburi Dynasty recovery [***] will appear under the city of Bangkok.
In the south, Zhang Xingba, commander of the Chinese Empire's Nanyang Fleet, led the Nanyang Fleet to annihire all the Thai navy. These huge ships with a heinous number of artillery have been wandering in the Gulf of Siam, blocking the illusion of the Siamese fleeing to the south.
