Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 626
"Your Majesty, Bai Wenxuan is cowardly and sticks to the Pingyi Guard. This is the worst policy!"

Yang Changzhi was in a hurry to make a suggestion, his face was extremely ugly.

Since ancient times, defending the city has been complementing the inside and the outside. Not only must there be soldiers inside the city, but there must also be soldiers outside the city to echo each other. There are offensive and defensive, and counterattacks from time to time.

If it's like closing the gates of the city, it's defending to the death, and it's not far from falling.

Therefore, Yang Changzhi was furious when he learned that Bai Wenxuan was so conservative.

Sun Kewang heard the words and pondered for a moment: "Bai Wenxuan naturally has his own way, we'd better not interfere."

"Your Majesty, if Bai Wenxuan is allowed to act like this, the fall of Pingyiwei will be just a matter of time, and Yunnan will be over by then."

Yang Changzhi elongated his voice, sounding a bit hoarse.

Compared with Bai Wenxuan, Yang Changzhi, as the deputy envoy of the inspector, had to surrender to Sun Kewang due to the military prestige.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and the imperial court declined, they thought that no matter how bad it was, they could separate one side and make the family rich and powerful.

As a result, the king of Yu suddenly ascended the throne, and then quickly passed the call to the south, and then went north to attack Nanjing.

Yang Changzhi was so regretful that his intestines were green, so he could only grit his teeth and persist.

Compared with others, he has no choice but to go to the dark.

"I know." The majestic Sun Kewang waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Bai Wenxuan will not betray us, I trust him."

Speaking of Sun Kewang's sudden lack of confidence, he was a little guilty and hesitant.

Seeing his appearance, Yang Changzhi was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty?"

"Prime Minister Yang, you said that this Yunnan belongs to someone else. Although we have occupied it for so long, we are short of breath after all."

Sun Kewang sighed: "I held an imperial examination, and very few people came to take the exam. It can be seen that the people of Yunnan are bright!"

"My lord, the virtuous people in the world live here. In Yunnan, it should belong to you."

Yang Changzhi was taken aback. After fighting for a few days, you are short of breath?Anyway, let's talk about the end of the mountain.

Sun Kewang stroked his beard and sighed, "I understand that Yunnan is good, but it won't last long."

As he said that, Sun Kewang said with piercing eyes: "It seems that the king's career of the widow is not in Yunnan, but in the south of Yunnan."

"Tungoo (Myanmar) invaded the north many times during the Wanli period. Although the governor of Yunnan, Chen Yongbin, regained the lost land, it proved that this Toungoo country should not be underestimated, and it is also a big country."

"Your Majesty, this place is not China's land, it's barbarians."

Yang Changzhi was startled, his face changed suddenly, it was very painful to leave his hometown.

"I don't read much, but I also know that before the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was not a land of China. Isn't it also a land of kings now?"

Sun Kewang waved his hand, trying to persuade him.

Yang Changzhi, as the head of his civil servants, if he doesn't persuade him, the subordinate civil servants will quit.

"Your Majesty, as early as in the former Qin Dynasty, Yunnan had the Dian Kingdom established by General Chu, and the Yunnan County was established in the Han Dynasty..."

"Okay, all I know is that after the Han Dynasty, during the thousand years of the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yunnan was not a royal land."

Sun Kewang was not fooled, and said bluntly: "Although Dongyu is small, it is our real place. Ming people dare to go south then?"

Yang Changzhi hesitated.

He had heard about Emperor Shaowu's resolute methods for a long time. Those nobles and ministers were still farming in Guangxi, and the consequences of a rebellious civil servant like him were even more unpredictable.

Instead of this, it is better to go directly south.

"But, Your Majesty, Dongyu is even more desolate than Yunnan, with high mountains and high mountains, full of miasma, I am afraid it will not survive forever."

Although Yunnan is not very good, it still has plains and a Dianchi Lake, which can be regarded as a small granary.

But if he thought about the borders of those Xuanfu divisions, he would rather commit suicide and apologize than his family to suffer there.

"I sent people to Mengyang and Mubang to inquire. Taungoo is divided into Upper Burma and Lower Burma. Among them, Upper Burma is a high mountain, while Lower Burma is a plain with fertile land. Taungoo is declining day by day."

"Otherwise, Mu Bang and other chieftains will not submit to the imperial court."

Speaking of this, Sun Kewang became more confident.

In fact, since he entered Yunnan, he has been thinking about how to rule Yunnan and how to deal with the Ming army in the future.

Don't look at him in Yunnan, but he only dealt with some military households and barbarians. If he really dealt with the Ming army, especially after the successful Northern Expedition, it would be even more difficult.

Especially the lack of firearms is really a disadvantage in the match.

Thinking about the future day and night, I finally found that Taungoo (Myanmar) is really good.

Chieftains such as Mubang and Mengyang can lead the way and fight to lower Burma to farm.

Bai Wenxuan had sent someone to deliver a letter long ago, saying that the Ming army was strong and could have gone all out, but now they just built catapults and threw stones day and night. Under such a cautious situation, it was even more difficult to deal with.

Pingyi guards 2 people and can guard for a month at most.

This strengthened his determination.

"Tungoo has millions of people, and Lower Burma is similar to Huguang. The land is fertile and there are many rivers. It is a good place to settle down and start a business."

"It won't be too late to surrender to the Ming court when we defeat Toungoo."

Yang Changzhi was moved.

Who wants to stay in Yunnan when they can go to plains and such good places as Huguang?

"If the king is willing to go, the subject is also willing to go."

"Okay!" Sun Kewang was overjoyed, and said, "When Dongyu is defeated, you will not only become a prime minister, but also become a chieftain, hereditary wealth."

In this way, Sun Kewang unified his thinking, picked and selected thousands of veterans, and returned west from Qujing Mansion, falsely claiming to transfer supplies.

After returning to Kunming, they packed up the valuables and supplies with great fanfare, and even got dozens of elephants to carry the loads, pretending that they were going to buy the chieftain, and then bring back an army of [-].

For generals, Sun Kewang used the position of chieftain as a reward and plain land as bait; for civil servants, he exaggerated the Ming army's threat to slaughter the three clans of rebellious officials, and even threatened his family members, and hundreds of people were forced to follow.

Soldiers, in addition to old soldiers, are accompanied by a group of bachelors and barbarians. Whether it is land or wives, it is a great temptation for them.

Stopping and stopping along the way, when they arrived at Chuxiong Mansion, there were only less than [-] soldiers and horses, and including their family members, the total number did not exceed [-].

But in the Baiwen Xuan Department of Pingyiwei, they received a steady stream of food and grass, and also learned that reinforcements from the west would arrive, so their will to fight was quite firm.

Half a month later, shortly after Sun Kewang arrived at Dali Mansion, Kunming changed flags.

A group of gentry occupied the city of Kunming, and immediately swept through Yunnan Mansion (the province and the mansion have the same name), and then cut off the food for Pingyiwei.

In this way, Bai Wenxuan had no choice but to lead his troops to surrender.

The solid Pingyiwei lasted only 23 days.

"General Bai deserves to be battle-tested, but he's not bad at defending the city."

Seeing Pingyiwei's defensive measures, Zhu Meng couldn't help admiring.

"The first battle in Chengdu was caused by poor defense of the city. After entering Yunnan, a certain person was deeply ashamed. Sun Kewang took over Yunnan Province and repaired it in every possible way."

Bai Wenxuan followed behind, sighing.
