"Yes, Chinese people pay the most attention to loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. How can they violate the orders of their emperor?" At this time, even a straw was to be caught. Mangbai planned to let officials see Yongli who was under house arrest, and he must get the edict of retreat written by Yongli himself.

A minister reminded: "If the Chinese emperor knew the situation of the war on the front line, he might not be obedient."

"There is another thing, that is, if the Chinese emperor is willing to issue an edict, he cannot let his people take it to the Ming army." Another minister said that the Chinese monarch and ministers who are under house arrest are full of resentment. If they see the Ming army that just won a great victory, they still don't know what they would say; if the Ming army knew about the insults their court in Myanmar, they might further infuriate the royal army.

Mangbai adopted these two suggestions in full. In addition, he also urgently ordered the army in southern Myanmar to prepare for reinforcements of Awa, but how many troops can be drawn from southern Myanmar is also a problem, because the garrison is also responsible for monitoring the Meng tribe. If people in southern Myanmar know that Awa's control has decreased, someone might have a strange intention. Moreover, the relationship between Myanmar and Thailand is also very tense, and Awa does not want to make his neighbors feel that they have an opportunity.

Now the Emperor Yongli has no personal freedom. The guards in the exile court have been taken away by the Burmese people. Now the guards around the camp are all Burmese soldiers. Even the food required for daily life is transported by reliable personnel selected by Awa. No idle people are allowed to approach the emperor's residence.

After life and death were in hand, the Burmese people's respect for the Emperor Ming Dynasty plummeted, and they mocked the few remaining servants of the Emperor Yongli. Last month, the attitude of the last few palace ladies who served the concubines was almost teased. In this regard, both the emperor and the prince dared not speak out. If there was no food sent by the Burmese, they would be hungry. Since this was the case, they would just pretend not to know.

In recent days, Yongli's attitude towards the Burmese people began to change, as if they had regained some respect for themselves, and the three meals they sent were becoming more and more abundant. The empress dowager, emperor, empress and the prince discussed several times in private, but they were still unable to understand the key points. I don't know whether it was the Burmese king's conscience discovery or whether there was any change in the political situation in Myanmar.

The food delivered today is still good. The Queen Mother and the Emperor have a meal first. After these two people finish eating, it will be the turn of the concubine and the prince, and then the remaining palace servants and eunuchs.

When the officials sent by Mangbai arrived, the empress dowager was already full, and Yongli was half eaten. The Burmese envoy looked angry and walked in with a big strode and said to Emperor Yongli in a rough voice: "The Ming Emperor has been in vading our country for three years, but can he still remember the kindness of our country?"

Now Myanmar no longer regards itself as a vassal, nor does it offend Yongli, and politely replied: "I am deeply grateful for your country's three years of care."

"Can the emperor know that King Jin and King Gongchang of your country sent troops to harass the surrounding areas of Bamo?" Myanmar official said angrily: "Today, my king received a report from Bamo that Jin and Gong entered the country to plunder our country's land and robbed a large amount of food and people."

"I don't know about this." Yongli shook his head. He was in the camp and could not even see his own ministers. How could he know what was happening outside, and it was even more impossible to know about the war far away on the Yunnan-Burma border.

"Since that's the case, please ask the emperor to issue an edict to Jin and Gong to withdraw from our country immediately." As he said that, the Myanmar officials took out the prepared paper and pens and ink and placed it on Yongli's table. The Burmese soldiers who came with this official looked at Yongli with keen eyes.

"He said he had just received the news today, but the attitudes of the Burmese people in the past few days are obviously different. Is it related to this matter?" Yongli couldn't refuse. When the eunuch slowly grind the ink, Yongli also picked up the pen and thought quickly: "There are most likely frauds in this."

However, before Yongli could figure out what was going on, the Myanmar officials urged impatiently: "Why didn't the emperor issue an edict? Is it because they think that our country's hospitality is not good, and they deliberately indulge Jin and Gong two feudals?"

Myanmar already knew that the Sichuan army had entered the country and participated in the war, but the envoy did not mention it at all, for fear that Yongli would understand that the Ming Dynasty was in full swing to promote the king's army.

Although he doubted that there was any article here, Yongli did not dare to use his guess to bet on his own safety. He sighed in his heart and wrote the edict of retreating according to the request of the Burmese officials, and stamped his own jade seal.

The Burmese envoy was as if he had found a treasure. He blew away the ink traces on the edict and hurriedly left with it. Yongli watched the envoy leave with a gaze. When there was no Burmese ears and ears in the house, Yongli sighed: "I don't know if it was Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, who came to serve the king! Most of the time, the Burmese people would come to me to ask for the edict, but once this edict was issued, they would definitely withdraw their troops. Wouldn't my chance to escape from danger be wiped out?"

Yongli's words ignited some hope for everyone around him, and the queen immediately agreed, saying that this edict should not be given to the Burmese people.

"How can I not give it? Even if they serve the king, I don't know if they have reached Bamo and are still 108,000 miles away from here. The Burmese are just outside the door." Although Yongli understood a little in his heart, he made him hard and reject the Burmese's request, which was too inconsistent with his personality.

When the emperor scolded her, Empress Wang immediately closed her mouth, but she looked at the prince deeply, and was extremely worried in her heart - the situation is so dangerous now that the Burmese people might one day attack the royal family. What the queen is most worried about is her son's safety, hoping that the royal army will fight to the city tomorrow.

The queen's worried gaze was clearly seen by Yongli. She knew that the other party still had resentment about her writing an edict according to the Burmese requirements, which made the emperor even more unhappy. She scolded her again: "It's not because of you, the woman's opinion, otherwise why are we father and son all wandering here?"

Before Yongli escaped from Yunnan, officials with the ranks, including Chen Zuocai and others, persuaded the emperor, saying that if he was determined to refuse to enter Sichuan as planned, he would just take the Empress Dowager to Myanmar. He might as well let the prince go to Li Dingguo's army, or go with Feng Shuangli, and go to Jianchang to enter Sichuan as planned.

At that time, it seemed that Myanmar was much safer than Sichuan, and Empress Wang was unwilling to separate from her son, so Yongli refused the advice of his ministers on the grounds that the queen cherished her young son.

Seeing the emperor come up with the old account, Queen Wang hurriedly knelt down and apologized: "It's all ignorant."

Seeing that the queen apologized for justice, Yongli's anger disappeared and he snorted and continued to eat. Queen Wang kept kneeling down and left after the emperor had finished his meal. Only with the help of the prince, he got up and started eating with his concubines.

Although she confessed her guilt just now, Queen Wang felt very wronged. At that time, although she couldn't bear to part with her son, the final decision was of course still in Yongli's hands. At that time, Feng Shuangli sent several envoys in succession, urging the emperor to let the prince go to his army and seize the time to rush to Jianchang. However, the chief assistant Ma Jixiang observed the words and thought about the emperor's hidden worries, and he said to Yongli: "Feng Shuangli wants to make another contribution to support, but he wants the emperor to be Emperor Ming of Tang."

Ma Jixiang said that Yongli was in a state of mind, so he used the excuse of Queen Wang being reluctant to let the prince go to Myanmar, which led to Feng Shuangli being disappointed. Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan had no choice but to follow him and ran south.

Just before the Mangbai coup and the water disaster, Mu Tianbo and others believed that Myanmar was no longer reliable and they had to protect the emperor and the prince immediately. Because Yongli targeted his wife, Mu Tianbo and others decided to select a team of guards and asked them to fight to protect the prince to escape back to Li Dingguo's army. Like Deng Ming's previous life, Ma Jixiang reported the plan of Mu Tianbo and others to Yongli, saying that this was a rebellion; and Yongli was also furious: Another person who wanted me to be the emperor, undoubtedly a plot to rebel.

Because Mu Tianbo is more prestigious among the Burmese people, Yongli did not dare to punish Mu Tianbo's crimes, but ordered all the guards who were ordered to protect the prince's escape to be killed. As a noble of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Tianbo had to implement the emperor's will no matter what, so he executed his servants and guards to show that he was simply considering the future of the emperor and had no dissatisfaction.

After this incident, Queen Wang understood that although the emperor often yelled with his family privately that the throne was boring and that it was not of any benefit except causing trouble, when it was really critical, Yongli would instinctively defend it - as long as it did not endanger his life.

Queen Wang looked at her son and felt so sad that she couldn't afford to eat. She originally wanted Yongli to make a request to the Burmese people, asking the Burmese people to agree to use the prince's edict as a condition for him to draft the edict. But from today's performance, I think of it again in the past, Queen Wang knew that the emperor would definitely not do this.

"Son," Queen Wang stroked the prince's hair sadly and whimpered: "How should I help you?"

...

After the great victory, the Ming army's actions were far from being quick. Bai Wenxuan, Di Sanxi learned that the main force in northern Myanmar had been swept away and believed that the victory was sure to be successful. The Burmese people were just about the right time to surrender to Awa. The views of officers at all levels were similar to those of the commander, believing that Myanmar's surrender was just a matter of time, and they indulged their subordinates to rob. Now the Ming army has entered the rich Lijiang Valley area. The Yunnan army, which had been hard for several years in Yunnan, is busy collecting food, grass and livestock every day. Anyway, the enemy will surrender when they walk to Awa City. So why are you still so anxious? Why should you take this opportunity to have a few meals, fill your pockets and take two Myanmar wives back.

On the other side of Lijiang, Deng Ming's marching speed may be slower than that of the Yunnan Army. He explained to his subordinates at the officer meeting that the current task of the Sichuan Army is to use the remaining power of the victory to consolidate the rear, to ensure that the Myanmar government refuses to surrender, and drag the war into the situation of the city's offensive and defensive war and protracted war.

After receiving invitations and threats from Deng Ming at the same time, the surrounding temples expressed their willingness to send monk envoys to visit Deng Ming. Now there are no regular troops in Myanmar around, and the temples understand that the slightest refusal will also find the harsh revenge of the Ming army.
