In the sixteenth year of Jingzheng, in April, Burma gathered 300,000 troops, 300 elephant troops, divided into three routes, one along the Nu River to the north, the soldiers committed Mubang, one from the Burmese capital Ava, straight north, one along the tin foil river north, the army divided into three routes, straight to the border of the Ming Dynasty!
Mubang has been recovered by the Ming Dynasty more than ten years ago, operating for many years, garrisoning 2,000 troops, plus the military intelligence department, Jinyiwei's surveillance of Burma, when the Burmese king gathered troops, the Ming Dynasty already knew.
The governor of the Southern Theater, on the one hand, presented the marshal's mansion, combined with the troops, assembled 50,000 troops, crossed the Lancang River, marched towards Dingwan, and galloped to aid Mubang.
Cao Wenzhao got the news and asked for a clear palace.
Subsequently, Zhu Xu issued an order to order Lu Xiang, the governor of the Marshal's Mansion and the governor of the Southern Theater, to be promoted to the commander and mobilize 120,000 troops to conquer Burma.
On the second day, the Korean newspaper issued a cabinet requisition order, severely reprimanding Burma for disrespecting China and undermining the order of heaven, and announcing the conquest of Burma.
On the eve of the announcement of the cabinet requisition order in the newspapers, the Qianqing Palace.
Seventeen-year-old Zhu Cixuan is already as tall as Zhu Xu, with a tall demeanor and spirit, a black armor and a long qiāng.
He knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Father, the son is here, and he will definitely sweep away Burma, so that all the states know that the father and emperor cannot be violated, and I will not be allowed to blaspheme the order of the Dao tomorrow!"
” Zhu Xu nodded with a smile, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Well, my father believes in you, and everything is cautious." ” Zhu Xu is very satisfied with this son, and since he was a child, he has been eager to gallop on the field, be a generation of famous generals, and go down in history.
Now, here's your chance.
Hai Lanzhu stood beside Zhu Xu, extremely reluctant, wiping her tears, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Zhu Cixuan nodded heavily at Zhu Xu, looked at Hai Lanzhu again, and said, "Don't worry, concubine, if you go, your sons will definitely return victorious, and when you are rewarded for your merits, your sons must be the first people!"
” Hai Lanzhu nodded again and again, wanting to step forward but didn't dare, so she had to hold back her tears and cry and laugh.
Zhu Xu didn't care about this, he groaned, and said with a solemn expression: "Your Yongning Imperial Sister is in Mubang, you must find a way to keep her safe." ” Yongning married a list of people named Sheng Xuanyi three years ago, originally he was a county magistrate, and later he was a county magistrate, perhaps because he couldn't stand the gossip of the emperor's relatives, so he took the initiative to transfer to a remote Mubang.
Yongning married a chicken and followed the chicken, so he naturally followed.
For this reason, Empress Dowager Zhang was counted down in front of Zhu Xu, and she cried every night when she missed her daughter.
Sheng Xuanyi has been there for more than half a year, and Zhu Xu was about to transfer him back to Beijing early next year, but he didn't expect a sudden invasion from Myanmar.
Zhu Cixuan was also taken by Yongning, he was very familiar with each other in the palace since he was a child, he looked at Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Father, rest assured, the son guarantees his life and guarantees that the Yongning Imperial Sister will be brought back to the palace safely." ” Zhu Xu smiled and nodded, feeling uneasy and reluctant in his heart, but the child grew up, and his wings could no longer cover it.
Starting from Langfang, Liu Wentian's First Army of the Royal Legion, transported by hundreds of carriages, galloped along the official road towards the south.
This is a mixed regiment, with artillery, infantry, cavalry, and an independent regiment commanded by the second prince, which is composed of the boy scouts of the Royal Military Academy, which is led by Zhu Cixuan, most of whom are around twenty years old, and are a young army.
The Ming Dynasty was naturally indignant at the invasion of Burma, and some people kept writing to the court, asking the imperial court not to stop at it and completely eliminate the troubles of Burma.
Dingwan, Lu Xiangsheng's army of 50,000 has arrived.
In front of him stood three general soldiers, from Yunnan, Fujian, and Guangxi, each of whom commanded 10,000 local garrisons, plus 20,000 southern battalions.
Governor Ma Xianglin stood in front of Lu Xiangsheng, and said in a deep voice, "Governor, we are coming too fast, and the grain and grass in the rear have not yet caught up, so it is not appropriate to enter again." ” There are still more than 300 miles to go to Mubang, and if they engage the Burmese army in a hurry and there is no logistical support, the 50,000-strong army is likely to collapse without a fight.
Fujian General Yao Desheng said, "My lord, Princess Yongning and the horse are in Mubang, although the emperor did not mention it in the letter, but the emperor was raised by the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the most spoiled Princess Yongning......
Very sad. ” Yao Desheng didn't say it clearly, but it was very clear in those present.
If something happens to the princess and the colt, even if they have great merit, I am afraid that they will be questioned.
Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother, Lu Xiangtong pondered for a while, and said: "The Governor, it's better for me to have 3,000 people galloping to help, maybe I can rescue the princess and the horse." ” Everyone frowned and did not speak.
They assembled from Kunming and rushed over, although it was the fastest speed, but it was far less fast than the Burmese army, and according to the time calculation, the Burmese army was not far from Mubang.
Can't be saved!
Lu Xiangsheng's face was expressionless, and when they finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "Lu Xiangtong listens to orders!"
” Lu Xiang stepped out of the queue with a fierce force, knelt on one knee, and said, "The end will be!"
” Lu Xiangsheng took a sign and said, "Order you to lead 10,000 people, bypass Mubang, and go south along the tin foil river!"
” Lu Xiangtong didn't have any doubts, and said, "Obey!"
” He took the order and strode out of the tent.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yao Desheng and said in a deep voice, "Yao Desheng listens to the order!"
” Yao Desheng stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and said, "The end will be!"
” "Order you to lead 15,000 people south along the Nu River!"
Lu Xiang ascended.
"The last general obeys!"
Yao Desheng said.
"Ma Xianglin obeys orders!"
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead 15,000 people and go straight south to support Mubang and act cheaply!"

"Yes!"
As the three of them left, there was silence in the tent.
After a long time, Li Shoude, the chief soldier of Guangxi, said, "My lord, we only have 5,000 people left here, if Mubang is lost, the Burmese army can drive straight in, if we can't stop it, they can attack Kunming in one step......"
If you attack Kunming, then the matter will be big!
The emperor, the court will be furious, and they are afraid that they will all have to be guillotined!
Lu Xiangsheng's face was expressionless, he didn't see panic, and said, "Don't worry, I have already mobilized more troops before I come, and I will arrive within five days." ” Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief and their faces were relaxed.
Lu Xiangsheng turned to the two lieutenants standing not far from him, and said, "Staff Office, what do you say?"
” The Captain of the General Staff Office stepped forward, raised his hand, and said, "Governor, the General Staff Office has planned two battle plans, first, to concentrate the military strength and fight a decisive battle with the Burmese army, and the location is near Mubang.
Second, with a false move, the army went around the back and attacked Ava!
” Ava, Burma, that is, the capital of the Taungoo Dynasty.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded silently and turned to the lieutenant of the Military Intelligence Department.
This lieutenant stepped forward and said, "Governor, this time the army is led by the new king of Donghu, Ping Dali, firstly, for the sake of prestige, and secondly, to divert domestic pressure.
The army of 300,000 and the elephant army of 300, of which Pingdali carried 200,000, according to estimates, should have arrived near Mubang.
The other two sites may be slower by more than three days due to heavy rain and difficult roads, and MI is waking up its staff to gather all the intelligence. ” Lu Xiangsheng looked at the map in front of him, and suddenly said, "When will Liu Wentian arrive?"
” "Judging by the pace of previous exercises, it may be about three days behind us. ” Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "They came directly, and the equipment or something is behind, and they may arrive soon, so get ready." ” "Yes."
A governor beside Lu Xiangsheng replied.
Lu Xiang sent out 45,000 men, and these three armies had their own purposes, and quickly disappeared into Dingwan.
Lu Xiangsheng's eyes stared at Mu Bang on the map, with a dignified look.
Myanmar is a country that cannot be underestimated, for more than ten years, almost like the Ming Dynasty, in the continuous reform, the national strength is increasing, the previous king, is Zhu Xu praised the figure.
Therefore, neither Myanmar's combat strength nor national strength is so easy to deal with.
At the same time, Mubang, may ......
Something has already happened.
Lu Xiangsheng is still waiting for the army, the vanguard of Burma is 10,000 people, and it is indeed as Lu Xiangsheng expected, they have arrived in Mubang, surrounded the city of Mubang, and are ready to attack the city at any time!
This is a special place, it is the Ming Dynasty's Mu Bang Xuanwei Division, the battle of Ming and Burma in the Wanli period was occupied by Burma, and Jingzheng was coerced and lured back by Zhu Xu in the second year.
Now, the army in the city is only 2,000 people, and the prefect and the lieutenant are both one - the horse, Sheng Xuanyi.
At this moment, Sheng Xuanyi was in the back hall of the prefect's yamen, gathering a group of civil and military people.
"My lord, the Burmese army is coming too fast, and the other armies have no time to rush to help, Kunming is farther, and we have no hope of breaking through." ” The lieutenant, one of the two lieutenants in charge of commanding the army, said, "My lord, the army has been assembled, plus the temporary conscription, the total number is 2,200, there are 60 cannons on the city wall, 300 fires, and the rest of the armor and arrows are sufficient. ” Another county said, "There is no problem with the food support in the city for half a month, but we may not be able to hold on for so long......"
"Yes, what should I do now, Burma has not yet attacked the city, the city is already in a panic, and there are rumors that Burma eats people and slaughters the city......"
"These are all afterwords, now it's time to find a way to keep ......"
"There are 10,000 troops outside, and we only have 2,000 people, how can we defend it?
The imperial court sent troops over, and I don't know how long it will take......"
"Then what can I do, don't you wait for them to slaughter the city?"
"It must be kept!"
Suddenly, Sheng Xuanyi slapped the table and said in a deep voice: "If Mubang is lost, there will be no big city to the north, and Donghu will be able to enter Yunnan as if it were on the ground, this kind of thing must not happen!"
” Everyone's hearts suddenly froze, and they thought of some terrible pictures, and they didn't dare to argue anymore.
Sheng Xuanyi looked around at everyone and said, "From tomorrow, all the soldiers will go to the city, and the official will stand at the head of the city, if the city of Mubang is broken, step on the corpse of the official!"
” When everyone saw that he was so strong, they immediately raised their hands and said, "Your subordinates obey orders!"
” Sheng Xuanyi soon issued an emergency order for war, imposed martial law on the entire Mubang City, and mobilized all forces to defend the Mubang City.
Burma was not persuaded to surrender, and on the day of the siege, the Burmese army, 3,000 people, who had been slightly prepared, came to the south gate.
In the Ming Dynasty, more than a thousand people gathered at the head of the city and resisted desperately.
Sheng Xuanyi was dressed in an official uniform, as he said, standing at the head of the city, with his hands behind his back, looking ahead, standing awe-inspiring.
Arrows passed through his ears, blood splattered on his face, and corpses fell at his feet.
He didn't move, like a nail.
His move greatly boosted morale, and in the face of 3,000 people attacking the city, the Ming army shouted to shake the sky, and repelled the Burmese army's siege.
This battle lasted for more than two hours, perhaps because it was getting late, or for other reasons, the Burmese army retreated, and the Ming army cheered.

In the backyard of the prefect's yamen, Yongning wiped Sheng Xuanyi's arms and wounds on his legs, and carefully medicated.
Sheng Xuanyi looked at Yongning's rare gentleness, pulled her up, and said softly, "Mu Bang can't hold it, but you are the emperor, you can't fall into the hands of thieves, I will find a way to send you out of the city, you go all the way north, you should be able to meet the army of the imperial court......"
Yongning is already twenty-four years old, less young and more mature, she gave Sheng Xuanyi a haircut, her eyes were red, she bit her lip, and said, "I won't go back, Uncle Huang will definitely laugh at me when I go back." ” The corners of Sheng Xuanyi's mouth moved, unable to laugh, and then silent.
He was cautious and arrogant, conceited of his talent, but he fell in love with Yongning at first sight and became a great Ming concubine.
As a colt, naturally those gossip is indispensable, how can he stand it, and come here in a fit of anger, eager to make a contribution and prove his talent to the world.
However, in less than a year, he was about to die here.
It also affected the beloved.
Yongning held his face and said, "Uncle Huang said, I've come, I've done it, I've tried my best, and if I still can't fight in the end, I'll admit defeat and not be ashamed." ” Sheng Xuanyi pondered this sentence, nodded lightly, and said, "The emperor is majestic and majestic, rare in ancient times, just one sentence, thought-provoking." ” Yongning smiled and said, "If Uncle Huang hears you say this, he will definitely send you farther." ” Sheng Xuanyi was stunned and said, "Why?"
” Yongning sat next to him, took his hand, and said, "Uncle Huang, I don't like those scriptures since I was a child, and I hardly read the Four Books and Five Classics, if someone praises him for his good learning, he will feel that he is sarcastic." ” Sheng Xuanyi shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "How many people in the world can understand the emperor's ......?"
Yongning had already seen the adoration of Zhu Xu in her husband alone, and smiled without saying a word.
Her imperial uncle is indeed a strange person, and he is also a strange person.
She still remembers some of the books she saw in his study when she was a child, and those thoughts were really incredible, even better than Li Zhen's collection of books.
It's a pity that her imperial uncle didn't let her go in later, otherwise it would be good to steal some out and give it to her husband, and she only remembers some sporadic things now, and she said it all completely.
Sheng Xuanyi just cleaned it briefly, talked to Yongning for a while, and then continued to go out to patrol the city to boost morale.
Early the next morning, the Burmese army gathered a large army and prepared to attack the city again.
This time, their army has all pressed up, and they want to take Mubang City in one go!
Sheng Xuanyi and a group of officials of all sizes stood at the head of the city, with solemn expressions, they all knew that today might be their death day.
"Is the roster ready?"
Sheng Xuanyi looked at the newborn fiery sun and said lightly.
The county said, "My lord, I have all memorized it, so the soldiers and the people have it, and they are hidden in the inner wall of the well in the backyard of the prefect's yamen." ” Sheng Xuanyi nodded and didn't say anything more.
He already had the intention of dying, but he just hoped to delay as much time as possible and buy time for the imperial army to prepare.
Up and down the city wall, there was a sad color, but it turned into a tragic one, and I don't know how many people silently took weapons and went up to the city tower, or stood at the city gate.
Sheng Xuanyi looked back, her eyes were red, and her hands behind her back were clenched together!
Woooooooo The horn sounded suddenly, and the Burmese army was about to kill like a tide.
The cannons, shǒuliúdàn, arrows, etc., of the Ming Dynasty, rained down and constantly fought back.
The Burmese army was not afraid of death and kept flocking to the city.
Soon, there was fierce hand-to-hand combat on the city wall, and one by one the Burmese troops rushed up, were killed, and then rushed up and into the city tower.
Although Sheng Xuanyi is a scholar, he is also holding the sword and fighting to the death at this moment.
Those civil officials and the people also shouted at this moment, desperate to defend the city.
I don't know how many corpses, how much blood, all in the shouting, no one cares.
The Ming army gradually declined, and under the attack of several times the military strength, it was overwhelmed.
Knock knock knock Suddenly, a dull drum sounded on the city tower, and some people looked and saw Princess Yongning holding a double hammer and hitting the drum hard.
She is dressed in armor, with her head in her hands, and her figure is tall and very striking.
"Kill!"
When Sheng Xuanyi saw it, his eyes were red, his expression was hideous, and he roared with blood.
"Kill!"
The morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the shouts shook the sky.
The original situation was quickly reversed, and the people under the city tower poured into the city tower and joined the battle with swords, men and women, old and young.
The morale of the entire Mubang City was mobilized, and the desperate determination filled the Mubang City.
I don't know how long this battle lasted, I don't know when, it rained heavily in the sky, and the Burmese army could not attack for a long time, so it had to withdraw.
The Ming army looked at the retreating Burmese army, there was no cheer, no surprise.
There is only one kind of numbness after emptiness.
The city was full of corpses, all bloody water, and the people in the heavy rain were all embarrassed, like bloody people.
That night, Yongning said to Sheng Xuanyi, who was lying motionless on the bed, "Husband, I decided to attack the camp. ” Sheng Xuanyi was covered in injuries, and overexerted force, his muscles were strained in many places, and he was already bedridden and couldn't move, listening to Yongning's words, his expression was shocked, and he said, "Princess, by all means, there are only five hundred people left in the city, if the night attack fails, Mubang City will be destroyed......"
Yongning's expression was firm, and he said, "If it is done, we can keep it, if it doesn't work, we can't keep it." ” Sheng Xuanyi was stunned and speechless.

Yongning wiped his face and smiled gently: "You don't know, I always wanted to be a female general when I was a child, and I pestered Marshal Qin to teach me for a while, this is my last chance in this life, don't persuade me, okay?"
” Sheng Xuan's appearance twitched, he didn't know whether he was sad or happy, and he said for a long time, "I will accompany you to be a female general in the next life, and I will not be an official anymore." ” Yongning's face was suddenly full of smiles, pecked him on the lips, and said, "Hmm." ” Yongning took the sword on his side and strode away.
She quickly gathered manpower, supported by Sheng Xuanyi, plus Xiaozhi was powerful, and a surviving lieutenant supported Yongning, quickly gathered manpower, drank wine and meat, and waited for dark.
The heavy rain did not stop, and there was a cover of darkness, Yongning took people out of the city at night and touched the camp of the Burmese army.
The Burmese army has suffered setbacks in the past two days, and encountered heavy rain, perhaps never thought that the Ming army still had the ability to attack the camp, and there was no defense.
Yongning first bombed the camp with ránshāodàn, and in the midst of the fire, he led people to rush in.
The Burmese army was in disarray, it was impossible to organize at all, and the whole camp exploded in a big mess of being killed.
It was later learned that only the chief general of the Burmese army fled with a few hundred people, and the others were killed, trampled, and scattered.
This battle shocked the entire Burmese army, and also left a glorious page for Yongning in this battle and the history of the Ming Dynasty.
