Chapter 121 (5) Four-way Burmese Army Grand Entry

Nang Zhan, a beautiful woman, retorted to King Meng of New Myanmar: I am willing to commit myself to you, but the condition is: you must avenge my ex-husband, can you agree? Meng Bu laughed: I thought it was a big trouble, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter.Easy, so easy. So the new Burmese king, Meng Bo, embraced the beautiful woman, and sent tax collectors to Shisan Meng in China, ordering Shisan Meng to pay the tax in arrears.The reason is also very simple: since ancient times, Shisanmeng has been the territory of Myanmar. Shisan burst out laughing and expelled the Burmese tax official.This was exactly what Meng Bi wanted, so he set out with primitive armed forces to conquer Shisanmeng and regain the territory.Shisan reported the matter to Liu Zao, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou—with such skill, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was first Shuo Se, then Wu Shanda, and now Liu Zao.

But Liu Zao, who was originally a civil servant, was inexplicably transported to this barbaric place. He was depressed, and when he learned that the new Burmese King Meng refused to enter the country to cause trouble, he sent general He Qiongzhao and 600 people to intercept him.It is said that He Qiongzhao was walking halfway, and suddenly the momentum was loud, and countless Burmese primitive people rushed out of the forest.The weapons on He Qiongzhao's side were bundled and carried by a few horses. The 600 soldiers were unarmed and were hacked to pieces by the Burmese soldiers. He Qiongzhao fled back, lying on the ground biting the pen, made up a story of great victory, and reported it to Liu Decheng, the commander in chief.Liu Decheng was overjoyed, and added several achievements to the battle report, and reported it to Governor Liu Zao.Liu Zao was overjoyed when he saw the report, and reported several more achievements, which he reported to Qianlong.

Everyone just added details and enriched the content, but no one noticed that there was a big flaw in He Qiongzhao’s original work: He Qiongzhao fabricated the plot of him and the soldiers holding rattan cards to exchange fire with the Burmese soldiers on horseback, but the officials of the court saw it. When he came out, he said to Qianlong, "Your Majesty Qizuo, this rattan card is a weapon used by infantry. It is useless for cavalry. It is too tough. The horse galloped for a ride... When Qianlong heard it, it made sense, so he immediately asked the historian to write it down." , Let’s just say that I am wise and mighty, and discovered this flaw.

Now that one flaw is found, it is easy to find more flaws, so Liu Zao's concealment of defeat and false reporting of military achievements was revealed.Then Yang Yingju, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces, jumped out of the crowd and demanded to raise troops immediately to liberate Burma.This proposal was in line with Qianlong's appetite for great success, so Yang Yingju went to the China-Myanmar border and served as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, in charge of using troops against Burma. This old Yang, Yang Yingju, was the man who chopped Ding Wenbin, a mentally ill patient suffering from auditory hallucinations, to death for 3,600 knives.He knew that Qianlong liked to use troops everywhere and show off his force, so he did what he liked and took on this troublesome matter.

It is said that when Yang Yingju arrived in Yunnan and Guizhou, he immediately held an important leadership meeting to discuss the use of troops against Burma.Chen Dalu, the governor of Yongchang, objected, shaking his head and yelling: No, no, we are responsible for leading the frontier quarrel...Yang Yingju said: Come here, pick off this Chen Dalu's top-wearing flower feather. Chen Dalu was dismissed, so leading cadres at all levels quickly unified their thinking, unanimously expressed their support for the decision of the imperial court, and remained unswervingly consistent with the imperial court.Yang Yingju was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter of war, claiming to mobilize 500,000 elite soldiers and a thousand cannons, so that the new Burmese king Meng Bu could recognize the situation, give up the reactionary stance of being an enemy of the people, and turn back as soon as possible, Also", and so on.

The person who sent this letter was Chen Yuanzhen, a Tongzhi of Kaihua. But he said that when Lao Chen arrived in Burma, he met the new Burmese king Meng Bi and handed in his credentials.After Meng Bi asked the beautiful woman Nang Zhan to translate for him, his face was ashamed, and he knelt down to plead guilty to Chen Yuanzhen, and expressed that he must obey the leadership of the court, satisfy the wishes of the Burmese people, and submit to the court from then on...Old Chen Daxi, fly immediately The horse returns. Yang Yingju was ecstatic when he heard old Chen explain Meng Bu's attitude in detail, and was about to instruct the next step of work when he heard a trumpet that shook the world.Only the sound of shouting for killing can be heard endlessly. Tens of thousands of Burmese soldiers entered from four directions, one way was wild, the other way was fierce, the way was Mubang, and the other way was Gunnongjiang.These four-way fighters are the four tribes with the most powerful military in Burma, and without any explanation, they entered the camp of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing soldiers were not supported, and they were beaten to pieces, so they had to burn all their luggage and run wildly to the inland.The Burmese soldiers followed and killed them, arousing the extreme excitement of the primitive tribes in Burma, and they all took advantage of this opportunity to rush in and kill them. Seeing this situation, Yang Yingju sent a report to Qianlong: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I'm sorry, but I dare you to... I'm sick, and the phlegm syndrome is onset." The Qianlong decree: Send Yang Yingju the ten-scented soul-returning pill, Huoluo pill and six purses secretly made by the inner government.
