Dominate the Country

In July, the head of the fourth king of Myanmar, Zhui Jiaoya, was sent to Chen Ming. But it was no longer a "human head" in the ordinary sense, but just a white skull, a thing made into a skull bowl, a skull bowl, a human head vessel by the Tibetans.

The Burmese war can be declared won.

Of course, Myanmar's native regime has not been completely destroyed. Meng Yun ran to Arakan and got the support of the British. The British obviously did not want to border China's territory completely. They needed a barrier and a "quarantine zone", so the British chose to mediate.

They hoped that China would recognize Meng Yun's status. They did not expect China to withdraw from Myanmar. They just hoped that the Irrawaddy River would be used as a style line, extending northward to the northern part of Upper Myanmar, and its western part included Arakan, which could account for about one-third of the entire Myanmar. This area was ruled by Meng Yun, and China and Britain enjoyed exactly the same rights and interests in this area.

The negotiations are still ongoing.

For Chen Ming, this was a new choice. He originally wanted to destroy Myanmar in one fell swoop, but the British intervention made him see a new "road" - he could let Meng Yun act as a target and try to attract the people in Myanmar who missed the old country. This would greatly reduce the difficulty of China's rule over Myanmar. When the British fought in the future, Chen Ming didn't think that a small Meng Yun would be of any use.

At the end of May, the Siamese army invaded Ava, and Zhui Jiao Ya abandoned the city and fled. When the news of the British intervention reached Chen Ming, Zhui Jiao Ya's other arm Meng Mang had just been killed by the Siamese.

Then what was funny was that the Siamese army, the Shan State army and the Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade, several parties went down to chase Zhui Jiao Ya relentlessly, but failed to catch him. If Meng Yun hadn't had his intentions, and the troops he controlled had refused Zhui Jiao Ya to enter Arakan, Zhui Jiao Ya would have "led" the Burmese army to fight again.

Zhui Jiao Ya died at the hands of a Tibetan militia who came to play soy sauce.

The latter was only a part of the large logistics unit. The most experienced people in it had only shot shotguns in the mountains and were eliminated in the mountain infantry training camp. They had never been on the battlefield. The first time they escorted military supplies to Ava, they met the unlucky boy Zhuijiaoya on the way. Zhuijiaoya and several Burmese ministers accompanying him were caught in the same pot.

It must be said that people are born to compete for credit. After Zhuijiaoya's identity was confirmed, the nearby Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade and the big legs of the logistics unit-the 19th Division launched a fierce competition, and finally involved the Southern Yunnan Border Defense Force.

During this period, the Tibetans also played a trick, and then Zhuijiaoya's head became the wine bowl in front of him. Chen Ming didn't know whether the mountain troops and the 19th Division had collapsed when they heard the news. But it must be said that the Tibetans' technology in making wine vessels with skulls is very superb.

The wine bowl in front of Chen Ming no longer had any traces or appearance of a human skull, and it became golden and beautiful.

But no matter how beautiful the appearance was, it could not cover up the brutal and bloody facts.

"It's really barbaric..." Liu Dezhao next to him sighed.

Chen Cong, Pang Zhenkun, Liu Wu and other important civil and military officials also nodded with sympathy.

Although they had received many reports in the past about the cruelty and barbarity of the Tibetans and the bloodiness of the serfdom system, they had only heard about it. Now, the facts are right in front of them.

All the good impressions they had of Tibet were wiped out in an instant. They really couldn't accept the human head device. What era is this? Is there still someone playing with this?

Is this still two thousand years old?

Knowledgeable people such as Liu Dezhao, Wang Huizu, and Pang Zhenkun even thought of an unlucky kid - Song Lizong Zhao Yun. When the Mongol Tantric monk Yang Lianzhenjia robbed the Southern Song Dynasty imperial tomb, the unlucky emperor dragged his body out of the tomb and hung it upside down in the woods in front of the tomb to drain the mercury because the body was soaked in mercury when it was buried and had not yet rotted. Then his head was cut off and made into a drinking vessel and sent to the Mongol rulers in Dadu, and his torso was burned.

This is really tragic, and I am afraid that Song Lizong never expected it during his lifetime.

Later, his head was not found in the palace of Dadu until the Zhu Ming army captured Dadu. When Zhu Hongwu learned about this, he "sighed for a long time" and sent people to retrieve Lizong's head. In the second year of Hongwu, he was buried in Yingtianfu (Nanjing, Jiangsu) with imperial rites. The following year, Lizong's skull was buried at the old site of Yongmuling in Shaoxing.

Now five hundred years have passed, and Sun Wukong is about to be released. The memory of the past has become very vague, but the Tibetans have used real and practical actions to make them recall this bad memory.

The Kabala bowl, also known as Toba, is a skull bowl made of human skulls, also known as the inner skull bowl and the human head bowl. It is a ritual instrument for the initiation ceremony of the "Supreme Yoga Tantra" and is one of the ritual instruments of Tantra.

Haha, how can this make the civil and military officials present not think of the old things of the past.

"Stupid, stupid!" Zhangjia III is now neither in the palace nor in the Yanshou Palace, but in the Da Baoen Temple in the west of the city. Although the two are not of the same lineage, the dispute between sects has faded to the point of being unheard of in China today.

The conflict of interests between Buddhism and Taoism overseas is expected to be fierce. Nanyang is fine, as the area for missionary preaching has been demarcated, but Nanmingzhou and North America are still two uncultivated virgin lands, and the struggle between them has shown some signs of rising.

Burma and Annan are both Buddhist territories, and Japan and Korea are also places with deep Buddhist influence. In order to expand its influence and strength, Taoism can only advance to the newly opened immigration areas.

Otherwise, in this once-in-a-lifetime great change, Taoism will still be weaker than Buddhism.

Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, the Eight Banners believed in Tantric Buddhism. Even in the time of Yong Laosi, Buddhism and Taoism in China were gradually introduced into the upper class. However, in order to stabilize the rule, even if Yong Laosi himself died of taking elixirs, the Qing Dynasty still vigorously suppressed the development of Buddhism and Taoism.

In the Han area, Buddhism and Taoism also ended the last Buddhist-Taoist dispute that broke out during the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family had so many emperors who wanted to cultivate immortality. Taoism, which was on the path of the upper class, experienced its last glory. After a short-lived period at the end of Yong Lao Si, it completely withered.

However, Chinese Buddhism is not Tantric Buddhism. As the representative of the latter in Chen Han, one of the powerful figures in the religious administration bureau, and a good friend of the royal family of Chen Han, Zhangjia III is trying to persuade Chen Han to let Tantric Buddhism go to India to preach.

Zhangjia III relies on the promise that the Emperor Chen once made to him. The smooth resolution of the Mongolian and Tibetan issues made the Emperor Chen owe Zhangjia III a favor, and he would repay this favor. In other words, Zhangjia III and the Tantric Buddhism he represented made great contributions to Chen Han's resolution of the Mongolian and Tibetan issues. Chen Han would not let the meritorious officials work in vain, and there would be rewards.

Zhangjia III now has his eyes on India. He thinks that because of the social environment, traditions and religious influence, Tantric Buddhism is far more suitable than the monks in China to follow the National Defense Army to fight back to their hometown in India.

Everything was going smoothly, but a skull covering a wine bowl ruined it all. This scene brought an extremely shocking impact to everyone present.

The four words "raising a tiger for trouble" have never been attributed to Tibetans in the past ten years, but the Mongols have been more or less wary of the Han people, after all, the glorious era of the Tibetans has passed for too many years.

And the Mongols have been in a corner of the world for hundreds of years.

But these "four words" have never caused a shock in the past few years. Whether it is the Tibetan land where Zhangjia III was born or the Mongolia where he served, they have become a thing of the past in the eyes of many Han people.

The power of muskets, artillery and fortresses has been proven by countless realities.

When the danger of the Mongols and Tibetans faded, when they changed from a wild wolf to a domesticated dog, Zhangjia III felt that everything was moving in a good direction. But today's scene may ruin all his efforts over the years.

"Is this the idea of ​​that idiot? Do you feel that you are living too comfortably?"

To be honest, the punishment in Tibet is a bit bloody. Even Zhangjia III himself felt that it was a bit too much. But Chen Han turned a blind eye to it. At least in the traditional Tibetan area, Chen Han still gave some respect to the Tibetan Kashag nobles and Darase.

But whether all this will still be the case after today, Zhangjia III dare not guarantee.

Suddenly, a somewhat funny sentence echoed in Zhangjia III's mind, not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates. Zhangjia III, who just felt that this sentence was funny before, now kept thinking and sighing: This sentence is really right.

This "artwork" in front of him uses the most basic facts and truths to tell all the important officials of Chen Han who see it: how big the distinction and difference between the Chinese and the barbarians are, and how terrible, brutal and bloody the "barbarians" are.

This thing in front of him really reminded everyone present that Tibet is still a region with very different cultural customs from the Central Plains. The customs and culture here are not purely exotic, but also bloody and cruel, with very different values ​​from the Central Plains Han.

Should Chen Han assimilate where now?

Koreans, Japanese, Nanyang people, and in the future there will be Ryukyu people, Annan people, as well as some white people and Kazakhs. So many Yi people can be assimilated by Chen Han when they are not justified. Tibet is Chen Han’s territory, so why can’t it be assimilated?

In short, this tradition and custom of Tibet made many civil and military officials present shudder and could not accept it. They knew very well how poor the Tibetans’ military strength was. Even the small country of Gurkha could send some troops to beat them. Such a nation posed almost no military threat to the Han area. However, Chen Cong, Liu Dezhao, Pang Zhenkun and others could not help but imagine what it would be like if the Tibetans ruled the Central Plains.

Perhaps they would do more evil than the Qing Dynasty, right?

China would collapse, the land of China would sink, civilization would be destroyed, the country would be ruined, and the family would be ruined. Bones would be piled up everywhere, and no one would be there for thousands of miles; blood would flow everywhere, and human life would be as cheap as grass!

Such imagination made the civil and military officials present unable to tolerate and accept the "current situation" in Tibet!

Even for slaves, their masters could not decide their life or death at will.

Even in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, when they reached the middle and late stages of Kang Mazi, beating slaves and slaves to death was considered a crime after the incident. But what about Tibetan customs? Many people thought of the punishment in Tibet. It was not their fault that the emperor directly stranded it, otherwise it would have caused an uproar long ago. The punishments there were excessively bloody, with hands, feet, and eyes gouged out at every turn, and people skinned alive. Human skin books and human skin drums could be used as magical weapons. Compared with the skull wine bowl in front of you, it was simply beyond the reach of human beings. Receptivity.

Chen Ming would not regard the thing in front of him as a treasure. He felt a little disgusted, although he was not responsible for this. After pondering for a moment, Chen Ming told Zhang Dayong: "Go and send this thing to Zhang Jia III, and let him do with it as he pleases!"

Chen Ming sighed mentally. He couldn't hide this matter after today. Not to mention the reaction of Nanjing City, if the Burmese people knew that their king's head was smashed open and the skull was made into a wine bowl, what would happen? Don't be too Tibetan.

And China also plays an unpleasant role in this.

Burmese people will definitely hate the Chinese by the way. I hate the Han people even more than I hate the Tibetans, because their country was destroyed and their family was destroyed, and it was Chen Han who pushed it behind the scenes.

Hatred without power is meaningless and cannot last. If the plan to sinicize Burma goes smoothly, even if there can be a restoration movement in Myanmar a hundred years later, it will be of the same nature as the restoration movement in Hawaii in the original time and space plane. Even Ryukyu's restoration movement has a much higher chance of success than theirs.

But that's always a hassle isn't it?

And after all, this is also the Tibetan people’s ‘filial piety’.

But this is a hidden danger after all. Unlike four or five thousand years ago, just like the war of deer, who dares to say that there is no Jiuli gene in the Han people's blood? Chi You is also the ancestor of the Han people. He is not only a god of war, but also an ancestor of soldiers.

In the pre-Qin era, different ethnic groups merged to form the Han people, but how many Han people are still filled with indignation and indignation at the mythical ancestor who tore the ancestor of another ethnic group into pieces?

"Send an order to Zheng Xin, and I allow them to stay in Myanmar for one month. It is only one month. After August 15th, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the troops of the Southwest Military Region will enter Myanmar. By that time, everything will be based on our army. Military regulations shall prevail. If any journalist dares to offend the military, he will be severely punished.”

Chen Ming said this very coldly.

He left most of Burma to Zheng Xin for a month. Chen Ming knew without thinking how much trauma Burma would suffer a month later. The civil and military ministers around him also knew without thinking. .

But if the Siamese really retaliate, they are acting as a human shield for China and actively attracting the hatred of the Burmese people.

This will make Myanmar a mess. Countless Burmese people will be killed and robbed. At least countless Bamar people will be killed and robbed. A large number of Bamar people will flee to Arakan. Myanmar has a pretty good land area. It is located in the subtropics, with many rivers and a lot of flat and fertile agricultural land. If these Bamar people really left, died, or were snatched away as slaves, it would be a big help to Chen Han. .

As long as Chen Ming doesn't use cold-bloodedness and cruelty against his own people, there won't be a lot of opposition to his decisions in the civil and military circles. The 'Holy Mother Sect' is not popular in the Chen and Han Dynasties.

The Siamese people paid a lot of casualties to conquer Burma. This month of "acting at will" was also a reward for the Siamese people.

This is a good thing.

It not only satisfies the Siamese people, but also allows the Burmese people to shift the target of their hatred. It can also free up a lot of open space, allowing more people who care about Burma to vote for Arakan...

"This can also bring more income to the court." Chen Ming still kept this sentence in his heart. After Zheng Xin made a fortune from Burma, as long as his brain was not trampled by an elephant, he would definitely send part of it to Nanjing as a filial piety. At that time, not only will the Ministry of Finance have an extra income, but the Imperial Palace may also have a good harvest.

In addition to the jade mines in Shan State, Myanmar is also a gem producing area, especially rubies and sapphires. Presumably these are not missing from the filial piety.

As for China's gains after seizing Burma, even if part of it was given to Siam and part was left to Meng Yun, the overall gains were still astonishingly large, at least four times larger than Zhejiang. There are large areas of plain farmland and woodland resources.

If Chen Ming remembers correctly, Myanmar was the largest producer of teak in the world in later generations, and teak was one of the best shipbuilding woods before the emergence of steel warships.

If we say that with the same shipbuilding technology and the same size of warships, Chinese sailing warships are not as durable as Europe, it is really not a matter of the level of the craftsmen, but the bigger reason is the wood.

Many European warships are made of oak, but China does not have that condition. Now that Myanmar is included, the shortcomings of Chinese warships may be made up for in the next few decades.
