Myanmar is behind the Ming army in Yunnan. If Myanmar maintains its minimum neutrality, the Ming army will probably not be interested in launching an attack on Myanmar when most of its territory is lost. But now that Myanmar has shown hostility to the Ming army, the Ming army will have the need to conquer Myanmar to ensure the safety behind it. If this conquest war can provide the Ming army with a large amount of supplies, it will certainly be even more wonderful.

However, it will take several months to travel from Sichuan to Myanmar, and from Bamo to Awa, and if you continue to march towards Yangon, it will take several months to go. Therefore, this war of conquest must pursue once and for all, and it is best to stop sending troops after this battle. It is not a peaceful season now. Sichuan and Yunnan are still facing huge military pressure from the Qing Dynasty, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers cannot stay abroad for many years.

"We cannot stay in Myanmar, nor can we launch such a war of destruction again and again. If occupying Myanmar can provide our army and Sichuan with some military expenditure and food, we can consider investing thousands of troops here. If one or two hundred people are lost every year, it seems acceptable; but more garrisons and greater losses cannot be considered at all." Deng Ming carefully explained his strategic concept to the officers, because he now wants to correct his strategy before sending troops and does not intend to allow soldiers to loot the temple, so he must strive for the understanding and support of the army. Although the military orders are as high as a mountain, the commands of the commanders need to be implemented without fail, Deng Ming believes that if the officers and soldiers can understand the orders, they will definitely be able to execute them better.

"So we need to obtain justice and support from the Burmese people, so we need a new Burmese king to reach an agreement with the temples as the Burmese king, grant these large swaths of land, and to assure the monks that all temples will be exempted after the troubles are rectified." Deng Ming believes that tax exemption is a very powerful method. It can not only obtain the support of temples in the short term, but also damage Myanmar's national strength for a long time, so that Myanmar can no longer pose a threat to China's southern border. If Myanmar is impoverished by the privileged class tax exemption policy, maybe China can be involved in the entire Lijiang River basin.

After hearing that Deng Ming planned to give some Burmese people tax exemption, the smart Ming army officers applauded, and the more kind-hearted ones also understood it with the explanation of their companions. However, most people felt that this policy might not last long. The Burmese king believed in Buddhism again. No matter how much help he received from the monks, he would not be able to tolerate an unlimited expansion of a hereditary religious group with great privileges.

"So this Burmese King must be young, and it is best to be a child. Before he grows up, there is no need to expect him to unite people's hearts and suppress the temple; and after more than ten years, the temple is full of wings, we should have regained a lot of the mountains and rivers." Deng Ming thought everyone was right, and he considered these issues in advance. Anyway, as long as Myanmar can stop causing trouble behind the Ming army in the past ten years, and provide support materials for the Ming army: "In addition to the issues of our military strength and national strength, we cannot blatantly annex the vassal states, otherwise it will only make Annan and other countries afraid, and maybe they will push them to the Qing Dynasty. Our campaign this time is to rectify the chaos and survive and die."

"Well, so this Burmese King must be Mangda's son, and it's best not to be old." Zhao Tianba said in agreement, but Mangda's prince was also thrown into Lijiang by Mangbai and his parents and drowned. I heard that there were concubines who gave birth to children. However, such dangerous people must be under Mangbai's control now: "Is there any suitable one? It's hard to find?"

"Why is it hard to find? I've found it." Deng Ming replied proudly, and then asked a soldier to bring the next Burmese King, the Prime Minister, to the Sichuan Army officers: "Go bring that fat old man."

"Isn't you fat?" Zhao Tianba asked curiously.

"Well, it's the elephant-controlling husband, the dead elephant crying like a tearful person." Deng Ming didn't know the name of the Burmese man at first, but when he saw that he was thin and tall, he gave him a code name: "He will be the next Burmese prime minister. His name is very difficult to remember. I'll give him a name that we can remember, well... let's call him Pang Gao."

Pang Gao was able to leave a deep impression on Deng Ming, mainly because he did dig a big pit and buried his elephant with his own strength. After learning about this, Deng Ming commented to the guards around him: "Faced with the enemy's big sword, he can sacrifice his life to protect his elephant brother's corpse, and dig a hole to allow his elephant brother to be buried... If a person is so good to his elephant, it should be worthy of preferential treatment. We can also expect him to repay this kindness in the future, right?"

Pang Gao led a boy into the camp. When he saw the Ming army officers in the first battalion, he seemed nervous and scared.

"Is this your eldest son?" Deng Ming asked.

After hearing the translation, Pang Gao nodded to Deng Ming. He was a commoner in Hedong. After crossing the river with other Sichuan Army prisoners a few days ago, Deng Ming called him to inquire. After learning that he had a five-year-old healthy boy, Deng Ming asked several Ming soldiers to go home with him and bring his eldest son over.

Deng Ming pulled the child from his father to himself and showed him to all Ming army officers: "You guys, this is the son of the former Burmese king Mangda... Well, Mangda's son Manglu."

A buzzing sound broke out in the camp, and Zhao Tianba jumped up and said, "Master, isn't this the tall eldest son?"

"It was before, but it will not be from now on." Deng Ming replied with confidence.

At this time, Pang Gao had already understood what Deng Ming was talking about from the translator. He knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing to Deng Ming while shouting something.

"No need to translate, I know what he is talking about." Deng Ming waved his hand and stopped the retelling of the Burmese Chinese who served as the translator.

"Master, didn't you say we want to strive for justice and continue to survive for the survival of the Rangda?" Zhao Tianba's voice was so loud that he was about to shake the roof of the tent.

"So he must be rash." Deng Ming said without changing his face, pointing to the child in front of him: "As long as the whole world knows that he is Mangda's son Mangru, then will we help him ascend the throne be a survival and death?"

Even as a foreign vassal king, the Ming army officers still had a trace of respect for their bloodline in their hearts. Although few people were as excited as Zhao Tianba, most of them muttered in their hearts, wondering if Deng Ming did this too much.

"So what about Mangda's son? Could it be that he has two eyes? Besides, before Mang Yinglong, their family was not the King of Burma, and they had become kings on their own?" Deng Ming was different from the people of this era and had no awe of aristocratic bloodline. He shouted: "Is there any kind of king, prince, general, and minister?"

...

When the first monks from the temple arrived, Deng Ming introduced Pang Gao and Manglu to them. He pointed at Pang Gao and sighed: "This righteous man is the elephant control husband of your former king. His son is the same age as the little prince of Manglu. During the incident, he sacrificed his eldest son and escaped with the little prince of Manglu... I have long heard that Myanmar is a hometown of loyalty and righteousness and a country blessed by Buddha. Such a righteous man really makes me admire him."

At the same time, Mangda's blood letter of death was taken out. In the will, Panggao was appointed as prime minister, assisting Manglu to avenge revenge and regain the throne. After displaying the edict of the Burmese King, Deng Ming asked Panggao to read lines with the monks and asked the monks to publicize to the people, so that the people knew that the Ming army was here to avenge Mangda. Panggao also assured the temples in the name of the prime minister of the regent that as long as they support the Ming army to fight against the traitors, they will receive a large amount of land. These lands will not only be transferred from the Burmese King to the temple, but can also be bought and sold without taxes. In addition, if the Burmese people donate land to the temple in the future, it will also be a temple property that does not need to be taxed.

In addition to the temple, all Burmese people who participated in the Baowang Army can also obtain a private land, and the Burmese king will no longer have the right to take it back and distribute it separately. Pang Gao is willing to represent the king Mangru and vow to abide by this contract in front of the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and the Baowang Duke of the Ming Dynasty is also willing to testify.

As for the army and officials in Myanmar, they were always high-ranking warriors, so they were always controlled by the aristocratic class. Now, the high-ranking promise that the appointments of these ministers, officers and even local officials will be elected by temples, and the local judicial power will be given to monks.

This will undoubtedly affect the interests of the high-level samurai class. However, the high-level samurai in Myanmar is basically on Mangbai's side, and they are also easily killed by the Ming army. Now it is not only severely damaged but also unlikely to buy it. Anyway, with the agitation and publicity of monks and the division of the Burmese king's land, Deng Ming felt that he could still set up a regime airs.

After Pang Gao finished singing these plays openly, Deng Ming personally came to negotiate with these religious leaders.

"In the previous battle, our army killed Mangbai's tens of thousands of troops without leaving any armor. You should know that I was not lying. Mangbai must not sit in the position of the Burmese King." Deng Ming said openly: "I believe you all know that this place is far away from the Celestial Empire. If Mangbai had not imprisoned the emperor, we would not have sent troops. Although we have sent troops now, we cannot stay here for a long time. We will drive Mangbai off the throne and return to our country. We must ensure that he will never make a comeback. Whoever can help the Celestial Empire do this will support whoever controls the Burmese government."

The religious leaders whispered for a while, but no one took the lead in responding to Deng Ming.

"You have any worries, although you can say it."

"Does the heavenly soldiers ask us to help recruit soldiers and raise food?" a monk asked carefully.

"Yes, that's why I came up with such a compensation plan. In the past, the land belonged to the Burmese King, and in the future it belonged to you; in the past, the local officials were appointed by the Burmese King, and in the future it was yours. What's the final say about you? There will be no meat buns in the sky."

After a day and night, most monks, village chiefs, and local tribe leaders understood Deng Ming's plan, but they still had one worry: "If Mangbai releases the emperor, will the heavenly soldiers withdraw their troops?"

"No, we will never abandon our friends," Deng Ming replied decisively: "Mangbai will definitely be deposed. Even if we can't talk to him for the time being, the purpose is to eventually depose him."

"What if the emperor ordered the Duke? What if the emperor pardoned Mangbai?" A Burmese elder asked this question in a careless manner. The powerful combat effectiveness shown by the Ming army before made the upper class of Myanmar no longer doubt who would be the winner. But the problem is that this winner is unlikely to be a permanent residence in Myanmar. This is certainly a good thing, that is, the power will still be taken back by the Myanmar collaborators, but the danger is that if Mangbai chose to cooperate and the Ming army decided to replace the collaborators, then these Burmese people who contributed their efforts would be seeking death.

This question is obviously a bit sharp, so as soon as the elder said it, it attracted a lot of blame. The Chinese are famous for being loyal to the emperor and patriotism, at least verbally. Wouldn't this force the other party to reserve a way out?
