After a few days of worry, the Burmese envoys once again came to the detention place of cabinet officials. This time they took away almost the same people as last time, except that one Mu Tianbo was missing.

During this period of time, the treatment did not improve or worsen, and the guards' attitude remained basically the same. The officials all speculated that the Ming army was probably still in place. Since the Burmese sent another envoy today, it must be that the last action was not going smoothly, otherwise Mangbai would not have to send people again - this is good news for the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

After waiting for most of the day, Ma Shoufu finally came back. As soon as he entered the yard, he announced: "Duke Baoguo refused to withdraw his troops!"

After cheering, everyone asked what the mana was planning to do today.

"Oh, he asked me how I could persuade the Duke Bao to withdraw his troops." Ma Jixiang replied.

"How did Yuanfu answer him?"

"I have given him some advice, and I am at least 70% sure that the Duke Baoguo retreated." Ma Jixiang said shamelessly. Seeing that everyone's faces suddenly changed, Ma Jixiang smiled slightly: "Even if Duke Baoguo retreated this time, we don't have to worry. Last time, Mangbai made his own decision and was disgraced at Duke Baoguo. If Duke Baoguo really retreated this time, he would understand that if he wanted to appease the Ming soldiers, we must not be able to."

As long as it works, his life can be saved. Ma Jixiang feels that his future is much brighter. If Deng Ming continues to advance, Mang Bai will definitely not dare to do anything. And if Deng Ming retreats, he can also show his resourcefulness.

...

Although he hoped that the Ming army could force Mangbai to release himself, when he heard the Burmese envoy recounting Deng Ming's original words, Yongli still felt a burst of anger rising from his abdomen and rushing to his throat, almost gushing out of his mouth.

The Burmese said last time that Deng Ming didn't care what the emperor thought, which made Yongli feel very awkward, but he comforted himself that it might be the Burmese people who were sowing the disagreement; and this time Deng Ming even openly called the Burmese people that the army went through hardships to enter Myanmar and must not return without success, and no one's imperial edict would be easy to use. But if any Burmese dared to touch the emperor and the cabinet, he would be mentally prepared to be destroyed.

Yongli intuition determined that these sentences were not compiled by the Burmese. If Deng Ming was not really so tough, the Burmese people seemed to have no need or motivation to fabricate them.

"Is this Deng Ming a loyal minister?" Yongli couldn't help but think that Deng Ming never expressed his life experience. Last time he heard that the Sichuan Army traveled thousands of miles to serve the king Yongli was still a little moved, but now he couldn't help but start thinking in a bad direction: "Does Deng Ming have a strange intention? He ignored my face in front of the soldiers."

Although he did not want the other party to carry out his imperial edict, when the ministers really ignored it, the emperor was furious. Bai Wenxuan was hesitant because he knew this and was unwilling to do thankless things. Deng Ming also knew it, but Deng Ming had no hope for Yongli, as long as Yongli could still sit on the throne of the Emperor of Ming. From this perspective, Yongli's suspicion of Deng Ming was correct. As a former modern person, Deng Ming's contempt for imperial power was much more thorough than Li Dingguo, and Bai Wenxuan. The latter two may be dissatisfied with an emperor sitting on the throne, but they would never have no awe of the throne as Deng Ming.

The request brought by the Myanmar envoy today doesn't sound like it was compiled by Mangbai. Yongli looked at the draft that the Burmese asked him to copy, and felt that it was very similar to the draft made by his cabinet. The content was very vicious and his tone was very bad. If he really sent this letter to Deng Ming, the other party would probably be unable to hold his face and retreat for a while, at least there is no possibility of continuing to march towards Wacheng.

The whole edict was full of suspicion of Deng Ming. He asked him nakedly about his intention to serve the king this time, and even more severely accused him of trying to murder the emperor by pretending to be a Burmese man. If the other party was a treacherous minister, he would probably retreat temporarily in order to cover up his eyes and avoid the morale of the army after seeing this edict. If Deng Ming was loyal, he would probably be discouraged after seeing this edict. Those Sichuan soldiers who were passionate about serving the king and serving the country would most likely be disappointed when seeing this edict and would have the idea of ​​not wanting to fight for the emperor again.

Yongli knew very well the effect of this edict, but he had to bow his head under the eaves.

...

Myanmar sent many envoys, and before coming, they copied many copies of Yongli's edicts and posted them in the Ming army camp. Some Burmese people recited loudly outside the Ming army camp regardless of their lives.

"Did the emperor ask me about my intention?" After hearing the general content, Deng Ming was very caring and ordered his subordinates to let the Burmese envoys say it casually, without any intention of stopping them.

During this period, Bai Wenxuan did not continue to march towards Awa, but waited for Deng Ming's troops on the spot. More than 3,000 Sichuan troops have arrived at Bai Wenxuan's camp to meet with the Yunnan army. In addition to these Ming troops, Pang Gao also pieced together some troops to assist in the war. Deng Ming did not care about the combat effectiveness of these newly-established Myanmar troops, but he valued the influence of this army very much. After all, this is an army with the same flag as Mangbai. Whether it is used to occupy Wacheng or control the countryside around Wacheng, the effect is completely different from that of the Ming army.

Together with these Myanmar troops, there are some religious leaders who have just been pulled into the Mangru regime by Deng Ming's soft and hard work. So far, Deng Ming feels that their support for the Mangru government is still forced, so Deng Ming needs them to see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. Deng Ming gets along with them in a friendly manner and eliminates the distance between them as much as possible.

Deng Ming was very polite to these collaborators, allowing them to attend some unimportant meetings and try to introduce them to the progress of the war. Today, after the envoy of Mangbai sent the Yongli edict, Deng Ming did not try to conceal the content of the edict from these allies, but asked them to attend and share the election with Bai Wenxuan, and Deng Ming received the envoys from Myanmar.

Deng Ming called the man led by the Mangbai Envoy and told him: "Why do you have to be so troublesome? I will summon troops and let you read the emperor's will in public."

Although I don’t know what medicine Deng Ming’s gourd is selling, since the Ming army generals were so careless, the Burmese envoy was determined to seize this opportunity.

Deng Ming and Bai Wenxuan summoned the army and asked the envoy to read Yongli's edict. Yongli not only denied the fact that he was placed under house arrest in Myanmar, but also began to question Deng Ming what he wanted to do after just a few sentences. He asked Deng Ming if he wanted to frame his king and father to fulfill his wolves' ambitions; he even said that he could abdicate Deng Ming, as long as he did not continue to harm Myanmar, he would not let the Burmese people vent their anger on the emperor's family still in Awa.

"If I were King Yue, I would have burst into tears when I heard this, and I knelt down on the ground and shouted "death crime"? No, no, King Yue had already received the order and retreated. The orders of the king and father must be executed even if they knew they were wrong." An uneasy buzzing sounded among the soldiers around him, but Deng Ming still listened without changing his face, and could still comment from time to time in his heart.

The edict changed its subject and talked about Bai Wenxuan, scolding him for not being able to show off his temporary pleasure or being bewitched by others and trapping his king and father in danger.

Hearing this, Deng Ming turned to look at King Gongchang. Seeing that the latter's face was uncontrollable, no matter who heard such words, he would lose confidence in the emperor. Even if the Burmese people were less fighting, they would have to bleed and sacrifice their capitals. The soldiers would easily have doubts: Why should I die for such an emperor?

"In my previous life, Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan must have not rescued Yongli. Was it because Yongli disappointed the soldiers and was unwilling to continue to fight to the death?" Deng Ming thought, while listening to the edict patiently. The discussion in the team became louder and louder, and some Sichuan military officers showed anger on their faces. No matter who traveled thousands of mountains and rivers to serve the king, he would be angry when he was suspicious.

After reading the imperial edict, the Burmese envoy turned around and looked at Bai Wenxuan and Deng Ming: "King Gongchang, Duke Baoguo, do you want to resist the imperial edict?"

Bai Wenxuan was already disheartened at this time. Anyway, he had robbed a lot of things this time, and his morale was almost tormented by these imperial edicts: "Since it is the emperor's intention, how dare I refuse to obey?"

"Yes, King Gongchang and I are both loyal ministers, how could they resist the order?" Deng Ming took the lead and said in a loud voice: "If this is the emperor's original intention, I will withdraw my troops today."

"But is this the emperor's handwritten letter?" Deng Ming turned around and pointed to the manuscript, and asked Bai Wenxuan loudly, "King Gongchang has seen the emperor's handwritten letter, please identify it."

Bai Wenxuan knew that Deng Ming had never seen Yongli's handwriting, so the identification work could only be done by himself. Although Bai Wenxuan felt that there was no need, he still walked up to take a closer look and nodded: "It is the emperor's handwriting."

"Bai Wenxuan, what kind of political understanding are you?" Deng Ming glanced at Bai Wenxuan and slandered: "I kicked Li Laiheng, and he would understand immediately."

"I don't think it looks like the emperor's handwriting." Fortunately, Bai Wenxuan's voice was not loud, and Deng Ming immediately denied it loudly. At the same time, he reached out to snatch the edict from Bai Wenxuan's hand and pulled it in half. Then he raised his hands and tore it to pieces in full view of everyone, announcing: "King Gongchang said, this is a fake edict!"

"Why did Mangbai forge the edict?" In front of the envoy, Deng Ming shouted to the officers and soldiers in front of him: "Because Mangbai is already at the end of his journey and knows that Awa cannot be saved, he uses the edict to disrupt our army's morale! The soldiers, Mangbai's idiots are delusional and want to trick us into retreating."

Deng Ming turned to the shocked Burmese envoy again and sneered: "If we are asked to believe that this is not a false edict, let the emperor come to tell us in person. If the emperor personally asks us to withdraw our troops, we will withdraw our troops immediately."

After bombing away the Burmese envoys, Deng Ming brought the collaborators again: "Any edict that violates your agreement with me, or violates the interests of King Mangru and you are all false edicts - I should understand my sincerity."
