After learning that the Ming army was willing to rescue the siege, the Burmese King and the senior Burmese officials decided to accept Deng Ming's conditions.

Since ancient times, there have been no good conditions for the city alliance, and as long as the situation changes, all the alliances are all waste paper. Bai Wenxuan is right, the Mangbai regime’s plan is to delay time. After eliminating hidden dangers in the east, stabilizing the domestic situation, and restoring the morale of the military, Mangbai will naturally propose to amend the treaty, and the conditions at that time will be determined based on the situation at that time. If the situation is beneficial to the Wacheng side, not only will it not be compensated, but it may also require the Ming army to cede Tengchong. Just like his ancestors Mang Yinglong and Mang Yingli, the Burmese King never took the contract with the Ming Dynasty to heart.

It was not easy to hand over the Ming people who had already been rewarded to their subordinates, but now it is much easier. Many high-level warriors were killed in the battle of Lishui. Even if the master survived, due to the siege of Wacheng, the warriors' manors in the suburbs and hometowns fell into the hands of the Ming army. As long as the manor could be taken back, these people would not be reluctant to leave a few slaves.

Wacheng was very efficient. Before the day of the ceasefire was over, he began to release people one after another. Within two days, more than a thousand imperial guards were released to the Ming army, and soon a group of family members were returned. After the escaped imperial guards arrived at the Ming army camp, they first cried with their heads in their arms, and then indignantly demanded that King Gongchang and Duke Baoguo invade into Wacheng and cut Mangbai into pieces.

"Mangbai must have something happened, otherwise he wouldn't be so happy." Deng Ming felt that the reaction of Myanmar was too rapid: "Is it a rebellion in southern Myanmar?"

However, no matter what internal troubles there are in Myanmar, Deng Ming can't take advantage of them for the time being. Bai Wenxuan is eager to return to Yunnan, but now he is just to cooperate with Deng Ming in acting so that he can get the compensation.

Therefore, the requirements of the Imperial Guard could not be met. Deng Ming called the officers of the Imperial Guard to his tent: "If you were my subordinates, I would send you all to question - you actually put down your weapons to the enemy without resistance! But you are not my subordinates, but the emperor's personal soldiers, and I have no right to control you. Of course, I have no obligation to pay you food and salary unless you are willing to receive training."

Neither the Imperial Guard’s generals nor senior officers will be released for the time being. Deng Ming intends to send these people and the subsequently released Imperial Guard’s officers and soldiers to Pang Gao as the occupying army of the Ming army in Myanmar: “Before Mangbai pays off the compensation, we will continue to occupy northern Myanmar, and I will not free up too many people. If you are willing to participate in training and prove that you are capable of fighting with Mangbai, I will allocate you military pay and equipment before the emperor comes back.”

The Imperial Guards all accepted this task happily. They all hated Mangbai to the core, but they still had some questions about military pay and equipment.

"Equipment is easy to handle. This time I seized a lot in Myanmar. I have two or three thousand occupying troops and more than 3,000 occupying troops. I will select a batch from my instructor. As for military pay, my idea is this: Mangbai promised to compensate the military expenses of the Ming Dynasty, which is not counted as interest. A total of 2.5 million taels of gold. Four percent of them are mine, and the rest are King Jin and King Qingyang. The share of King Jin and King Qingyang cannot be moved, but I only have half of the 40% of mine. The rest is the military expenses of the occupying troops. I will send someone to supervise the account book and do not allow corruption or deduction. How to determine and distribute the military pay must be based on my rules. Of course, the treatment of officers will definitely be given.

Better than soldiers, and 20% of the compensation will be spent on you, and no one can take it away." Deng Ming only has one additional condition, that is, if the occupying army wants to expand its army and fill the missing personnel, new recruits must be recruited from western Sichuan. Moreover, these western Sichuan soldiers are protected by Deng Ming. The officers of the occupying army shall not treat them as slaves, and they must be allowed to retire. This condition was not taken seriously by the Imperial Guard. Deng Ming only arranged some of his people in this name and got a share of the pie. Since they were Deng Ming's people, of course they could not be treated as slaves, and they must be allowed to return to Deng Ming to serve.

"I will leave 40% of the first compensation, that is, 40,000 taels of gold, to the occupying army. I will not take half of it this time. The accounts are made public. If there is any problem with my distributor, you can intercept the future compensation. In this way, I will know that you are dissatisfied and will send someone to see what happened. If you find that you are unwilling to train well and you will not get compensation, then our agreement today will be invalidated. I will send someone to Myanmar to ask for the account. You can make your own way."

After hearing Deng Ming talk about compensation for a long time, an imperial guard officer finally asked: "The Burmese people humiliate their humble posts and plunder our family. Should we also compensate us?"

"You are the emperor's personal soldiers, not my subordinates, so I have no right to decide what to do for the emperor." Deng Ming shook his head: "But after you form an army in northern Myanmar, if you go to ask Mangbai for compensation, I don't care. You are the emperor's personal soldiers, and it's really hard for me to interrupt such things."

The Imperial Guards immediately looked like they understood it, and someone immediately asked, "When will they start training?"

"When you arrive at Manglu and Panggao, have a full meal and recover your health, then start," Deng Ming reiterated that he was just a minister and could not ignore the minister's rituals: "Whether it is the compensation of 20% or the task of the occupying army to make a debt, it is a temporary measure before the emperor returns. When the emperor comes back, you are still the imperial guards, and I will send someone else to make a debt."

Deng Ming didn't know what to do with Yang Zai. The cabinet was the emperor's counselor, and now the emperor is still in the hands of the Burmese people, the power of this cabinet became very suspicious. In the end, Deng Ming decided to send Yang Zai to Pang Gao's side, which was similar to the Imperial Guard, to ask Mangbai for compensation and then transport it back to the country.

"Old Yang Ge Lao, King Gong Chang and General Di discussed it. If the money is required, transportation will definitely require a yamen. We all agreed to raise two percent of the compensation we received. As the funds for the yamen to Yang Ge Lao, the remaining 50% of the Kunming and 10% of the Jianchang, and both the Occupation Army and I and the Occupation Army are 25% of the Occupation Army. If the Occupation Army can guarantee the continuous transportation of compensation back to the country, then this matter will be entrusted to the Occupation Army before the emperor returns. The Occupation Army and the Manglu will cooperate with the Occupation Army." Like the Occupation Army, this cooperative relationship will be terminated as the emperor escapes danger. After all, no minister can call the emperor and the cabinet members cannot still do their own private work when the emperor needs it: "Also, take the emperor and Yuanfu back from the Burmese people as soon as possible, and Ling Yue, other cabinet elders, ministers, nobles, and censors, all the matters of Yang Ge Lao."

Yang Zai did not agree immediately, but lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said generously: "Don't worry, don't worry, leave these two things to the officials."

"There are three young masters of the Emperor who are the emperor's attendants. If Mr. Yang can do it, I hope they will return to Fengjie as soon as possible."

"Please it on the lower-ranking official. The lower-ranking official knew that the three young men of the General Secretary Wen could not return to China before July, the lower-ranking official would not have to protect the Duke, and the lower-ranking official would wipe his neck." Yang Zai assured Deng Ming that his scheming skills were definitely not his opponent. Since Wen Anzhi's three sons were not high-ranking officials, he would definitely be able to escape safely soon.

"There is another thing," Yang Zai thought about it again: "According to the understanding of the Xiaguan, the compensation should be the number sent to the country by the Burmese people. The loss should not be borne by the Heavenly Kingdom, so this two-percent fire consumption should not be borne by King Jin, King Qingyang and Duke."

"What are you going to do?"

"Xiaoguan thought it was completely reasonable to ask Mangbai to pay more fire expenses, such as five percent?" Yang Zai carefully spitted out the number, while nervously observing Deng Ming's expression: "The funds required by Xiaguan's yamen and the rituals of the staff that Xiaguan needs to hire are all paid out of the fire expenses to ensure that the full compensation is sent to Kunming, Jianchang and Chengdu."

"Whether five percent or ten percent are good, I can't say, Mr. Yang will decide depending on the situation. What if I have less, what should I do if the yamen needs?" Deng Ming just reminded kindly: "But Mr. Yang must do what he can. I think it's better for us to pay for this year."

"The Duke reminded me." After hearing Deng Ming's statement that he would not interfere with the fire consumption at all, Yang Zai's voice immediately rose eight degrees: "Xiaguan will have a good discussion with the Imperial Guard... Well, the occupying army will properly discuss the fire consumption issue."

"There is interest."

"Don't worry, the emperor keeps it in mind."

...

The Ming army and Myanmar soon signed a contract: Mangbai was worried that Thailand would launch a sudden attack or that there would be turmoil in southern Myanmar. If the Ming army knew the news, they might not retreat. The Ming army was in a hurry to return to Yunnan and did not want to be petty about details, so after accepting more than 2,000 ordinary officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards, they signed an agreement. After receiving compensation of 100,000 taels of gold, Bai Wenxuan, who was impatient, immediately began to retreat. Many of these compensations were converted with jewelry and ivory, which made Deng Ming not optimistic about Mangbai's solvency.

The agreement only stipulates a general framework: Myanmar returns all the personnel and their property in the exile court, and compensates the Ming army with 2.5 million taels of gold for military expenses, which will be paid in ten years; and the Ming army withdrew from the entire territory of Myanmar and ended the occupation of the northern Myanmar region, which is the area controlled by the Mangru regime.

The specific details of this agreement will be further determined by Yang in his responsibility and Myanmar, and Yang will also communicate with the Burmese on behalf of the Ming Dynasty during the implementation process.
