In the 18th year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty and December of the 15th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty, after a long march, the King Qin of Sichuan finally arrived in Tengchong. After a brief rest here, the King Qin of Sichuan continued to advance and reunited with the Yunnan Army commanded by Bai Wenxuan.

Deng Ming's actions were greatly unexpected to Li Dingguo, and Deng Ming refused to let the army stay in Kunming, but went straight to the border of Yunnan-Burma. This was to buy time and to show Li Dingguo that there was no other purpose in western Sichuan - for the King of Jin who was poor and unable to expand his army and wanted to defend the entire Yunnan, even the eight thousand troops were enough to put a lot of pressure on Kunming. Deng Ming himself held a simple talk with Li Dingguo in Kunming, and once again expressed his willingness to maintain the status of the Emperor Yongli and the unity of the Anti-Qing alliance.

After Deng Ming's previous life's trouble of cursing water, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan could only send more than a dozen ships and hundreds of soldiers to try to solve the problem of Emperor Yongli. Although they fought all the way to the city of Wacheng (Schindler), the capital of Myanmar, the pressure on Myanmar was limited, and they returned to the army because of the edict that the Emperor Yongli ordered them to withdraw their troops.

This time, the army that Li Dingguo was able to send was far stronger than last time. He had gathered 10,000 troops to the border with the Yunnan-Burma River, of which the armored soldiers were also as high as 2,000, which was more than four or five times that of Deng Ming's previous life. Moreover, through three months of transportation, Bai Wenxuan also stocked up a large amount of food and grass in the border area, enough to supply tens of thousands of troops and horses for two months.

"General Deng's army is coming day and night, which shows his sincere intentions." After seeing Deng Ming, Bai Wenxuan said with a smile. He had already received news from Kunming. Originally, Li Dingguo only hoped that Deng Ming would support him politically, so as not to think about it when he sent troops. Even with the last Kunming agreement, the gap between Jianchang and Kunming was still quite deep.

Therefore, after Deng Mingshuai arrived at 8,000 soldiers, Bai Wenxuan was also a little nervous for a moment, fearing that western Sichuan and Jianchang had some secret agreement. He wanted to take advantage of the danger of Emperor Yongli and his army was unstable and in panic. Although Wu Sangui went to attack Anshuixi, the Ming army in Yunnan still had to station a large number of troops on the eastern border. After hearing that Deng Ming and nearly 10,000 soldiers came, Bai Wenxuan even had the idea of ​​giving up serving the king and rushing back to Kunming to intimidate the Western Sichuan Army.

Fortunately, the Sichuan Army performed very reassuringly. Not only did Deng Ming not try to enter the prefectures and counties under the rule of King Jin, he also handed over the food and grass brought by the army to local officials in Yunnan to assist in transportation. This was also a win-win for Deng Ming. His army saved his energy, and Li Dingguo did not have to worry about the crazy actions of the Sichuan Army without food and grass. The only thing he had to worry about was that Li Dingguo had a strange intention, but Deng Ming felt that King Jin was not such a person, and the current military and political situation did not allow Li Dingguo to attempt to unify the Sichuan-Yun government.

"General Bai has been too rewarded, the king is humiliated and his ministers die, and the emperor is in danger. It is the unshirkable responsibility of us ministers." Bai Wenxuan is the prince, and Deng Ming is the Duke of the State. The other party called Deng Ming a general, which is a peer-age attitude of discussing religion. With the strength that Deng Ming now has, there is nothing wrong with accepting this kind of courtesy.

The two thousand people sent by Feng Shuangli were also commanded by Deng Ming's old friend Di Sanxi. These two thousand people were mainly auxiliary soldiers, with only one hundred cavalry soldiers. If Jianchang sent a large army into Yunnan, Kunming would probably be a little worried, and Feng Shuangli would also be worried that Li Dingguo would be unfavorable to his armor and soldiers. With such a small number of troops, Li Dingguo wanted the Jianchang army to ensure that it would not rob the population of Yunnan before they would let them enter.

In addition to the political statement, Jianchang's main task was to transport a large amount of food and grass to Yunnan, and Deng Mingda used trophy and materials to compensate Chengdu.

Although we had a bad relationship before, after seeing Jianchang's food, Bai Wenxuan also greeted him with a smile: "General Di, it's been a long time since we saw him."

"I've seen the king." Di Sanxi did not trust him and honestly met Bai Wenxuan with the etiquette of paying homage to the prince.

"No need to be polite. All of our rules will be exempted from the future." This time, Deng Ming still asked to follow the rules of the last time. The soldiers of western Sichuan did not kowtow to the nobles and military generals in Yunnan, and the Yunnan army did not have to pay a lot of gifts to western Sichuan. Bai Wenxuan invited Deng Ming and Di Sanxi to enter the account. In the past six months, Jianchang has given Kunming a lot of things, which gave Li Dingguo a valuable respite and could also slightly reduce taxes from the people. Bai Wenxuan knew this very well. Now that he saw Di Sanxi, the confidant of King Qingyang, he expressed his gratitude in person: "Qingyang has sent Kunming 200,000 stones of grain before and after Qingyang, he has given so much food again this time. After rescuing the emperor, I must go to Jianchang to thank Qingyang in person."

"So what?" Di Sanxi replied carelessly: "It's not what we gave it to you. The king just thanked Deng Shuai."

Bai Wenxuan was stunned when he heard this. Deng Ming had never mentioned that the food given by Feng Shuangli was all paid for Kunming. Di Sanxi did not expect that Deng Ming would not mention it at all. After pondering for a moment, Bai Wenxuan guessed the truth and said to Deng Ming in surprise: "Didn't these foods in the agreement be given to us by Jianchang? Did they all give them to General Deng?"

Deng Ming was unwilling to mention that because he was afraid that Jianchang and Kunming would fight again. Even if he paid for Jianchang to buy favors, if it wasn't for the difficulty of transfer from Chengdu to Jianchang, he would have wanted to give more. After hearing Bai Wenxuan's question, he immediately replied: "It was given by Qingyang, but it was difficult to transfer. Qingyang needs cloth and other things, so I shared some of it, which was considered as helping Qingyang's travel expenses."

Bai Wenxuan was about to nod, but Di Sanxi stopped. He shook his head and retorted loudly: "It's not the case. We have to settle accounts with Deng Shuai, part of the food used to go to Kunming from Jianchangyun. Some of them are made by Deng Shuai."

Deng Ming turned around and glared at Di Sanxi, but the other party continued: "I didn't expect that Deng Shuai didn't mention this matter with King Jin and King of Jin, but we are all open and honest men. This thing is not what we gave it to. Besides, it is really hard to transfer our fortune. If Qingyang really wanted to make a good decision with King of Jin, would Deng Shuai give us luck and we would be lucky?"

"That's right, it's right." Bai Wenxuan laughed: "It's enough to help us transport grain."

Deng Ming smiled bitterly and stopped defending himself. However, because Di Sanxi's words made him feel a deeper in his favor for the people of Jianchang. He thought that although these Qin Xiying people were selfish, they were worthy of being upright heroes. This persistence that did not take advantage of others was enough to compare most people in the world.

However, Deng Ming did not know that Di Sanxi, who was known as a wise general in Jianchang, was not exactly as heroic as he was. If the generals in Jianchang were all kind-hearted people who refused to take advantage of the situation, they would not have taken away the people in northwest Yunnan back then.

When they first met Deng Ming after the Kunming fire, although the generals of Jianchang admired his courage, Deng Ming had no strength at all at that time, and Chengdu, who supported Deng Ming, was very weak. Yang Youcai brought hundreds of people to support Deng Ming, but Feng Shuangli saw at a glance that these Western Sichuan soldiers were all civilians with no combat power, and Yang Youcai, who was commanding the army, was a peasant leader. At that time, Jianchang believed that he had at least the ability to compete with Deng Ming, and that the emperor abandoned his country, Deng Ming could ascend the throne. Feng Shuangli and Deng Ming divided the auxiliary soldiers to make a good relationship, and in order to help him gain more weight to rule the generals of Jianchang.

The current situation is completely different from that after the Kunming fire. Feng Shuangli and his team planted fields in the safe rear for two years, and they saved more and more grains, but they were about to become farmers. On the contrary, Chengdu made rapid progress. Under Deng Ming's leadership, not only did the population surge, but also made a series of great victory in Hubei, Nanjing and even Gaoyou Lake. Although Deng Ming still had no foothold in Jiangnan, Jianchang no longer thought he was better than Chengdu. At least in terms of material richness, Deng Ming said that no matter what Jianchang wanted, gold, silver, cloth, and salt, it seemed that Deng Ming was not particularly scarce.

Therefore, Feng Shuangli not only actively responded to Deng Ming's request to serve the king together, but also secretly discussed with Di Sanxi that he must leave a favorable impression on Deng Ming during this time. Jianchang originally positioned himself as "an ally with Chengdu back to back", but now it has gradually been adjusted to "Chengdu is the backer of Jianchang."

"The Myanmar soldiers in the border areas are vulnerable and have been dispersed by me," Bai Wenxuan told Deng Ming and Di Sanxi that the Ming army had already carried out some preliminary work long before they arrived. After Mangbai usurped the throne, the foundation was unstable, and the morale of the Myanmar army was not very strong. Therefore, the border gates were easily captured by the Ming army. The Ming army suffered minimal losses, which made Bai Wenxuan even more despised the combat effectiveness of the Burmese soldiers and was even more dissatisfied with the performance of the Imperial Guard: "When the Imperial Guard entered Myanmar, when the armor and equipment were in the mountains, hum, what happened to have been to seize the pass at that time? If the Burmese people dared to say no, they would destroy his country!"

"The Burmese people will pay the price for supporting Mangbai, a thief who killed his brother and usurped the throne." These days, Deng Ming asked the guide sent by Li Dingguo to carefully introduce the border geography to his subordinates. In a moment, he would make the same request to Bai Wenxuan, and ask those Yunnan soldiers who have been to Myanmar to guide his officers: "Bamo, can it be in the hands of the royal army now?"
