Chapter 81 Stealth Bomb
As soon as this was said, Su Lu became angry. Damn, you vampires don’t even want to have any face for a little money. Letting people like you be officers and soldiers in our Mengyang City is simply a disaster for our entire Mengyang City. Such an army would be better off getting out of Mengyang City quickly. We would rather have the Qing army with strict military disciplines to manage us than you vampires who eat people and don’t spit bones!
Speaking of this topic, Sulu was the most angry thing. Of course, he knew very well why his two sons were arrested, and he was very angry at the same time. Because, facing the crushing defeat in Shiguan at that time, the Burmese King decided to drag the Qing army to death in Mengyang City. They would never allow the Qing army to conquer Mengyang City, because this basically announced that all northern Myanmar would be discarded.
The areas north of the Awa Royal City in Myanmar will all belong to the Qing Dynasty. Not only that, the Awa Royal City will also lose its barrier and become a fruit without any protection ability. Anyone can come to pick it. This is of course a situation that the Burmese people cannot accept, so the Burmese King Cai ordered Meng Yangcheng to do his best to block the Qing army.
However, after the defeat in Shiguan, tens of thousands of Qing army troops were crushing the city and wanting to destroy it, and Mengyang City was also panicked. The most serious thing is that although Mengyang City is prosperous, due to its geographical location close to the Qing Dynasty and its personnel structure, everyone has no sense of belonging to the city. No one has the determination to fight to the end. If the Qing army did not massacre the city, they would not care whether they were Burmese or the Qing Dynasty ruled here.
Under such circumstances, the situation of Myanmar guarding Mengyang City is not optimistic. Thousands of people in Mengyang City have fled and left Mengyang City. Many wealthy families have also left. The key is that the army has also escaped. Hundreds of people have fled from Mengyang City's defense line. They have been scared by the Qing army.
General Tira's desire to defend Meng Yangcheng was an extremely difficult task. His current situation was that he lacked people first and supplies second. Both problems were not optimistic. If the Qing army came, how could these people stand united in fighting against the Qing Dynasty? If they could unite, the Qing army would not be afraid at all, but the culture and personnel composition factors formed over the past century cannot be changed in a few days.
Tira also knew very well that unless the Qing army made a mistake or massacred Burmese people, causing panic to the residents of Mengyang City, the residents in Mengyang City would never swear to defend the city with Tira. In this case, Tira had to turn her target to the material aspects. The feasibility of personnel mobilization was not high, and Felix Barra could not attract a few people. Since this is the case, it would be better to take the initiative to turn to things that are easier to deal with.
So Tira aimed at following up on materials. In terms of materials, if she obtained a large amount of materials, it would at least ensure that the army would be maintained. Since everyone was not prepared for the loss of Shiguan, there was no enough food and supplies stored in Mengyangcheng, a city that had not encountered a crisis in a century. Under such circumstances, of course, there would be no materials for combat use.
If the logistics troops in the Ava King City are waiting for the logistics forces to transport goods and supplies, the daylily will be cold, which is enough for Meng Yangcheng to throw them away twice. So Tira decided to abandon the car and protect the general. She must mobilize the supplies of the people in the city. Even if they are unwilling to go to the battlefield, they must take out supplies to support the army in the battle, otherwise it will be treated violently.
The biggest obstacle to doing such things is of course from the wealthy families, so the wealthy families will not obey your command and let you slaughter it. Sulu is a typical example. Originally, Tira asked him to take out 10,000 stones of grain and 20,000 taels of silver, and promised that as long as the logistics materials are transported at that time, they can be returned in full and there will be interest.
But although Tira's prestige is quite high, the Burmese king will not really repay you when encountering such a thing, let alone ask him to give you interest. Sulu is not stupid. What does it have to do with you war? The Qing Dynasty people come, or the Burmese people continue to rule here. Isn't it the same? What I want is not the affirmation of your dynasty for me, what I want is the supreme status of my family in Mengyang City and a stable life.
So Sulu rejected Tira's request on the spot, making Tira very embarrassed. Tira also vowed to open a breakthrough from Sulu anyway. If Sulu was unwilling to cooperate, others would not cooperate. In that case, how could he protect Meng Yangcheng? At that time, if Meng Yangcheng was lost, Sulu would not be a big deal, and he would be in trouble as a general.
Therefore, in anger, General Tira ordered the arrest of Sulu's two sons. Because many of Sulu's businesses were done with the Qing dynasty people, his two sons helped him handle the business of merchants in the north and Qing dynasty. In such a situation, they often needed to contact the Qing dynasty people and often needed to go north to do things in the Qing dynasty territory. His two sons were caught by Tira in such an environment.
The reason is too easy to make up. What a secret entanglement between the enemy country, what may be the enemy country's intelligence personnel? Anyway, you say whatever you want. No one can refute you. If you have to find evidence, then even if there is no evidence, they can put you in there for a few days. When there is really no way and there is no way, then further investigation is needed. Who can stand such trouble?
Especially for people like Sulu, being teased like this is really a loss of face and a clean face. As a powerful man in Mengyang City, their face is more important than life. Now that their son is tied to the streets, isn’t this a slap in the face? No matter what others do, at least he cannot accept it.
Tira took advantage of his mentality and wanted to force him to compromise. Otherwise, a more vicious way would be behind. Your son is in my hands. How do you know how I will treat them? At that time, even if I can't kill them, I can torture them into pieces. I think you have any way to fight me!
Wen Hao, the goatee-bearded think tank beside Su Lu, whispered in Su Lu's ear: "Master, it seems that if you don't agree to his request, they will not let the young master go. Both young masters are young and have a great future. Even if there are many external things like money, you can earn them again. The lives of the two young masters cannot be lost in vain!"
"There is nothing to cherish for this money. As long as our business is still there and our family is still there, no matter how much money is not a problem. However, if our business collapses so easily and the two young masters are tortured, there will be greater losses in the future. If we confront the king's people head-on, our fate will be very miserable."
