Chapter 1445 Capturing Mang Bai
Mu Tianbo was very excited at this moment. Although he was a duke, he always had a knot in his heart.
That is Myanmar, that is Cursed Water Beach.
Every night, he dreamed of the Cursed Pond and the tragic battle.
Dreaming of his lost comrades.
Mu Tianbo led twenty legions and marched into Myanmar.
The Burmese king Mangbai was panicked at this time.
As early as when Han Yu raised the flag of rebellion in Chuncheng, he felt that things were not going well.
However, he simply sent more troops to the border.
The main purpose of these troops was to prevent Han Yu from escaping into Burma.
In his opinion, it would be easy for the huge Qing court to deal with the last ruler of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
However, things were developing in the direction he least wanted to see.
Han Yu first occupied the entire Yunnan Province, and then defeated Shang Kexi, the King of Zhennan, who came to suppress the rebellion.
Afterwards, he defeated the seven armies led by Oboi himself, swept across the south of the Yangtze River, and ruled it according to the river.
Finally, they even raided the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, annihilated the Qing Dynasty's last main force, completely broke the Qing Dynasty's backbone, and drove the remnants of the Qing Dynasty into the vast desert in the west.
Seeing that the huge Qing Dynasty was being beaten and torn apart, Mang Bai became even more worried.
He was afraid that the Ming army would one day march south to seek revenge on him.
Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty has always focused its attention on the north, conquering Korea and Fuso, as if it had forgotten about him.
While Mang Bai breathed a sigh of relief, he prayed silently, hoping that Daming would forget about him, or preferably never remember him again.
However, in the end, things went against our wishes.
How could Han Yu, such a petty person, forget him?
I just didn't have the time before.
Now.
The 200,000 troops led by Mu Tianbo represent Han Yu's determination.
No matter what happens to others, Mang Bai must die.
Moreover, it will be an ugly death.
Seeing the aggressive Ming army, Mangbai sent all his troops forward in one breath. At the front of the team, there were even more than a hundred war elephants.
These elephants were covered in armor, with sharp spears and knives tied to their tusks. They were veritable tanks of the era.
But these are nothing but decorations in front of the Flying Thunder Cannon.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under the bombardment of the flying thunder cannon, the huge war elephant's internal organs were shattered and it turned into a corpse.
And Mang Bai's soldiers were directly defeated.
The defeated soldiers fled in all directions.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
Mu Tianbo commanded the grenadier corps to slowly advance and completely defeated Mang Bai's army.
Mang Bai retreated with the remaining soldiers.
Mu Tianbo was not in a hurry to catch up.
If Mang Bai is defeated in one go, the sense of revenge will be lost.
When a cat catches a mouse, it naturally has to tease the mouse for a while, constantly squeezing the mouse's living space, forcing the mouse into a dead end and leaving it with nowhere to escape. Only in this way can the mouse fall into helpless despair.
"Run faster, it would be best if you can bring back more people."
Mu Tianbo led the grenadier corps and pushed forward into Myanmar.
Whenever we encounter a town, we will follow the method tested in Fuso.
All the original ruling class were sent to work in the mines within the Ming Dynasty.
The remaining civilians were divided equally over the land, exempted from taxes, their native culture was eliminated, and they received Sinicization education.
The common people of this period had no concept of nation and country and were still in the primitive and simple stage of following whoever was kind to them.
It is also a very suitable era for annexing land.
If we miss this time point, it will be much more difficult to annex land once the concept of nation and state is formed.
Mu Tianbo continued to steadily advance the front line in accordance with Han Yu's policy.
Every time a city was captured, it would be transformed into the style of the Ming Dynasty.
This means that Mangbai's range of activities is getting smaller and smaller.
All the cities conquered by the Ming Dynasty discovered the advantages of the Ming Dynasty. In order to protect their own interests, they even spontaneously formed patrols to patrol the surrounding areas.
Once Mangbai's people are discovered, immediately notify the Ming garrison and send troops to encircle and suppress them.
This caused Mang Bai's plan to infiltrate the Ming army's rear several times and disrupt the food supply route to fail.
Mang Bai couldn't understand why those people, who were clearly his subjects, suddenly turned to the Ming Dynasty.
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had some kind of witchcraft that could bewitch its subjects?
Mangbai found many great wizards who were said to be able to cast spells, but it was of no use. His territory became smaller and smaller, and finally he was squeezed into a valley by the Ming army that surrounded him from all directions.
"Mangbai, surrender. If you surrender, His Majesty will consider not killing you."
Mu Tianbo said in a cold voice.
"Bullshit! I know with my ass that His Majesty will not let me go. If you want me to surrender, forget it. Attack us if you have the guts."
Mang Bai drew the long sword from his waist and asked his subordinates to quickly make chevaux de frise and large shields.
Increase your chances of victory by one or two points.
"I'll give you one stick of incense to think about it. After that, bombard the valley and raze it to the ground."
Mu Tianbo just said it indifferently.
"If you have the guts, just bombard it now!"
Mang Bai shouted loudly.
However, he had only shouted halfway when he felt a chill on his neck.
A long knife was placed at his neck.
Mang Bai looked back and found that the person who attacked him was Agu, his most trusted personal soldier.
"Agu, you!"
Mangbai couldn't believe that Agu actually betrayed him.
"You want to die, but we don't want to be buried with you."
Agu sighed.
"You will definitely die, but we still have a chance."
The soldiers around him also showed the same expression.
"I'll kill you!"
Mang Bai raised the sword in his hand.
However, he was hit by a huge wooden hammer immediately afterwards, and was knocked to the ground, with the sword flying out of his hand.
Half an incense stick later, many personal soldiers escorted Mang Bai to the outside of the valley.
"You are good and have made the right choice. Everyone in the valley can get out alive. However, you still need to go through the Ministry of Justice. We need to confirm that you have not committed too many mistakes in the war. As long as you have not done anything too extreme, you can come back and become ordinary civilians ."
After hearing Mu Tianbo's promise, the soldiers in the valley put down their weapons.
Through various channels, they learned about the lives of common people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with the Mangbai period, the current life of Myanmar civilians is simply a paradise on earth.
As long as there is a way out, who doesn’t want to live a peaceful life?
Who is willing to come out and lick blood?
What's more, most of the men in Mangbai's hands were temporarily captured. Especially when he was defeated in battles one after another, they often didn't even have enough food to eat and had no loyalty to Mangbai at all.
More and more people dropped their weapons and walked out of the valley.
In the end, the last army around Mangbai gave up resistance, and the whole of Myanmar was completely pacified by the Ming Dynasty.
