After consulting with his ministers, Bai Mang, the king of Donghu, decided to give the Ming Dynasty a soft bow in exchange for peace on the border.Although the Zhou State and the British supported the Donghu against the Ming Dynasty, they were always behind when they really fought, and the Donghu people would directly face the guns of the Ming Dynasty, and the losses were the Donghu people, so it was better not to fight this battle.In addition, after the alliance between Donghu and Zhou and Yingji, the two countries often interfered in Donghu's internal affairs, which made Bai Mang a little dissatisfied.He was reluctant to join the new tributary system of the Ming Dynasty, that is, he did not want anyone to interfere and wanted to maintain the independence of Donghu, but now Donghu was interfered by the Zhou State.In Donghu, many ministers learned that the Ming Dynasty wanted to negotiate, and most of them supported the negotiations, but only the Zhou ambassador to Donghu, Doni, clamored to make the Ming army look good, and wanted to let hundreds of thousands of Ming troops be buried in Donghu, so that the Ming Dynasty fell into the quagmire of war.Bai Mang asked Manggan to return to the governor of the Ming Dynasty and could negotiate at the border.Doni, who was in Ava, didn't know what to get the news from, and broke into the palace with great vigour, interrupting Bai Mang's drinking and having fun."
King Donghu, I heard that Donghu wants to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty?"
Doni asked angrily.The remnants of the Great Qing Kingdom were almost wiped out in the Battle of Tongguan, and only a few Manchus such as Doni were able to save their lives because they stayed in the rear.As the son of Duoduo, Doni hated the Ming Dynasty and Zhao Ming in his heart, and would never allow Donghu to make peace with the Ming Dynasty behind the back of the Zhou State.Bai Mang's heart sank, and he said in his heart, how did Doni know about the peace talks, it seems that the Zhou State has infiltrated his Donghu State.This made Bai Mang very dissatisfied, but on his face, he still smiled: "Where did the envoy hear the news?"
How could this king negotiate with the Ming Dynasty?
”Doni had a gloomy face, "Donghu has signed an alliance treaty with the Great Zhou, and the king of Donghu must not carry the Great Zhou behind his back and do anything foolish!"
”Bai Mang felt the threat of Doni, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Messenger go down, this king knows, this king still has affairs to do!"
”The palace guards immediately stepped forward, and Doni could only exit the main hall when he saw this.Bai Mang drove the beauty in his arms away and called his henchmen, "Tell Manggan, hurry up and determine the location, be secretive." ”After replying from Donghu's side, the two sides quickly agreed on a time and place.Ten days later, Bai Mang took the army and secretly came to the Ming-Burma border, a small village outside Tengchong Wei in Yongchang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, where Chen Mingxia, the head of the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, and Yang Zhiwei, the governor of Yunnan, also led ten guards to arrive.The stockade is a Tusi stockade on the border, which has a relationship with both sides and ensures safety from the beginning.At this time, the two waves of people met in the village, and Yang Zhiwei saw the minister of Donghu Manggan, so he laughed and said: "Lord Manggan, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm!"
”Mangan also smiled all over his face, "Tuoyang Zhongcheng's blessing is very good." ”Yang Zhiwei immediately introduced: "This is Lord Chen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites from Nanjing, who is in charge of this negotiation. ”Mangan smiled and saluted, but Chen Mingxia put on the style of an angel of the Heavenly Empire, raised his head, looked at people with his nostrils, and said coldly: "Since you are here, let's start talking!"
”This made Manggan, and behind him, the king of Donghu, who was pretending to be a guard, Bai Mang, his face sank and he was a little unhappy.However, Chen Mingxia's disgusted look and attitude, on the contrary, felt that he had an inner flavor and was a minister of the Celestial Empire."
Haha~" Yang Zhiwei hurriedly snorted and said with a smile: "Let's talk inside." ”The two sides entered the stockade and sat opposite each other at the table, Chen Mingxia slapped the table and said angrily: "Donghu small country, first disrespectful to the Celestial Empire, and then sent troops across the border to kill the people of the Celestial Empire, have you ever been guilty!"
”Behind Manggan, Bai Mang's face immediately became gloomy, but he was just a guard now, so it was not good to reply directly.Manggan glanced behind him, and said in a deep voice: "This time it was Da Ming who asked to negotiate with me, and we are willing to come, but we are not reprimanded by Da Ming." ”Yang Zhi hurriedly echoed it, and said: "Yes, yes, yes!"
This time, our purpose is to resolve the dispute and hope for peace on the border. ”Manggan said coldly: "But we can't see the sincerity of the Ming peace talks." ”Chen Mingxia raised his eyebrows, "The imperial court sent this official here, what else do you have to say."
Do you want the imperial court to send troops to come?
”Mangan got up angrily and said to Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhongcheng, this can't be discussed, farewell!"
”Chen Mingxia patted the case and said: "Okay, then wait for the imperial court to send troops!"
”Yang Zhiwei hurriedly grabbed Manggan, and comforted Chen Mingxia and said: "Don't be so angry, let's talk about our own conditions." ”Yang Zhiwei said a lot of good things in the middle, and the two sides took their seats again, and Chen Mingxia stopped talking from the beginning.Mangan glanced at Bai Mang and said: "Peace talks are okay, the Ming Dynasty here, we must stop building roads and forts on the border, and the border army will retreat fifty miles."
In addition, it was forbidden to continue sending troops and sending ordnance to Siam.Only in this way can Donghu feel the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty and maintain the status quo on the border, so that Donghu cannot feel the threat of the Ming Dynasty. ”After Manggan finished speaking, Yang Zhiwei looked at Chen Mingxia and called softly: "Chen Shilang!"
”Chen Mingxia said in a deep voice: "These Ming can agree, but Donghu must re-assert himself to the Ming Dynasty, and apologize to the Ming Dynasty for crossing the border to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”After hearing this, Bai Mang, who was pretending to be a guard, showed a mocking smile, Mingren really had a good face, he was so fierce just now, and in the end he just wanted Donghu to give them a face, so that they could have a step down.The ability of the Heavenly Empire to do this kind of funeral made Bai Mang's heart full of disdain, but this was exactly what he wanted, so he gave Manggan a look."
Okay, Donghu can also agree!"
Manggan immediately smiled.Both sides expressed their demands, the atmosphere was not so tense, and the next negotiations suddenly became very smooth.Soon the two sides reached a preliminary consensus, and held a banquet in the stockade and agreed on a time for formal negotiations.After the initial negotiations, Bai Mang returned to Ava, waited for the Ming negotiators, sent the conditions to Nanjing, and after receiving an official reply, signed a settlement agreement with the Ming Dynasty.This meeting made Bai Mang very satisfied, and it was basically certain that Daming just wanted to save face, and as long as Donghu was soft, he would not attack Donghu.This made Bai Mang feel very good, and the big stone in his heart finally moved away, so he even held a banquet in the palace and began to enjoy himself.When Bai Mang was indulging in wine and pleasure, Doni broke in again and asked directly: "King Donghu, I heard that you have negotiated with the Ming Dynasty in private. ”Bai Mang's face sank, he didn't expect to promise Zhou Guo to send an ambassador to Donghu, this ambassador has simply become the emperor of Donghu, he has to intervene in everything, and he has to take care of everything, "This is a rumor, someone wants to instigate us, and the ambassador also believes it?"
”Bai Mang hurriedly said in a deep voice.Doni sneered, "King Donghu, regent Zhao Ming of the Ming Dynasty, is scheming, cunning, and habitually used to attack the west.I know that you are negotiating with the Ming Dynasty, but don't be too stupid and fall for the tricks of the Ming Dynasty, and let your guard down. ”When Bai Mang heard this, he was furious, "Guard, insert him out for this king!"
”Kunming, Yunnan, Governor Yamen.Yang Zhiwei and Chen Mingxia sat in the study.Yang Zhiwei said: "I don't know if Donghu believes in us?"
”Chen Mingxia picked up the teacup, took a sip, first praised Yunnan's tea for not losing to Jiangnan, and then smiled: "Yangzhongcheng rest assured, looking at Bai Mang's expression, he must believe it." ”Yang Zhi smiled and said, "Lord Chen is talking about the guard!"
”Chen Mingxia nodded, put down the teacup, and then said: "This matter has been completed, and it will be handed over to Yangzhong Cheng to deal with the aftermath, and I will leave for Guangzhou today to meet with the regent and report on the negotiation." ”(The book will probably be finished by the end of the month.)Everyone has a vote, vote for my new book."
