Mangbai, king of Myanmar, was temporarily raised. His first reaction was not to be angry, but to ask: "The two Chinese generals, will the price increase be 10,000 together, or 10,000 each?"
The person who came to spread the word was the secret agent of the Yunnan Institute of the National Security Council, who had been in Myanmar with merchants for several years. This detailed work quickly caught up with King Burma's thinking, and he quickly said: "A general raised the price by 10,000 taels. Our army has strict discipline and is not allowed to collect money in private. The friendly troops from the north and east are almost coming. The two generals need More money to manage."
"I understand, I understand." Mangbai immediately understood that the situation had changed. The more troops killed, the more generals needed to be settled with money.
You have to hurry up and search for money, otherwise the Datong army will kill all of them, and you won't have so much money to redeem yourself.
Damn it, because Yu Jia's personal conquest left in a hurry, he didn't bring any goods from the capital. The Chinese general didn't trust us, so he insisted on paying a deposit of tens of thousands of taels here, otherwise, when we returned to the capital, wouldn't we be able to collect all the money easily?
Mangbai rolled his eyes and asked, "Can treasures be used to deduct gold and silver?"
"What treasure?" Xi Zuo asked back.
"Thirty-six Tripitakas written by Bayeux, and a large number of eminent monks' relics." Mang Bai blurted out.
Xizuo was dumbfounded. He came to this city with merchants and knew what these Buddha treasures meant. Subconsciously replied: "It should be able to deduct gold and silver."
Mangbai thought for a while, and then said: "These scriptures and relics are taken as collateral. When I return to Ava City, I will redeem them with more gold and silver."
"Yes, yes." Seisaku nodded again and again.
Although there are many old capitals in Myanmar, Bagan City is definitely the oldest one.
It is the capital of the Anuluddha Dynasty in Myanmar, which was the first unified dynasty in Myanmar including the Burmese, Shan, Meng and other ethnic groups. The large and small Buddhist temples in the city have been built for more than two hundred years, and there are more than 13,000 pagodas in total. It is said that there are 4.44 million pagodas in a radius of hundreds of miles outside the city, so Bagan is also known as "the city of four million pagodas".
Later, when Western colonists came here, only more than 2,000 Buddhist pagodas in Bagan were destroyed, and countless Buddhist treasures disappeared.
Previously, they only searched for rich merchants in the city, and the soldiers did not dare to attack the temple.
Now under the order of the King of Myanmar, the Burmese army rushed into the thirty-six largest temples, forcing the monks to hand over the Beiye scriptures and relics collected in the temple.
When the news came out, the crowd was excited.
Even many nobles and generals were full of resentment and anger towards King Myanmar. They do not object to the search for wealthy businessmen, and even actively participate in it, but they must not disturb the temple, let alone hand over the Buddhist treasures.
"It is impossible for us to win. Bagan City will be breached sooner or later."
"We can't let Mangbai continue to be the king. Mangda has been the king for a few years and forced us to pay more tribute. If Mangbai returns to Ava alive and continues to be his king, he will definitely increase the tribute. Otherwise, where will he come from?" money and food to rule the country?"
"That is, the tribute tax has increased year after year, and it cannot be increased in the future."
"Mangbai disrespected the Buddha, he is not qualified to be a king anymore!"
"There is also Hei Ludao, who controls the court and the king. His family members not only extort money from their own lands, but also extend their hands to other people's lands. This treacherous official who has brought disaster to the country and the people cannot be allowed to live any longer. "
""
It is true that Hei Ludao has prestige in the court, and it is true that he has connections in the Burmese army. But more than 100,000 soldiers were killed in the First World War, and the prestige was gone, and the military began to question this person's ability.
The most important thing is that the city is besieged by the Datong army. I heard that the capital will also be attacked. These aristocratic generals in Myanmar must push one or two people out to take the blame, maybe they can get the forgiveness of the Chinese emperor, and maybe they can keep their own fiefs.
As for the ones who are responsible, Mangbai, King of Burma, and Hei Ludao, the treacherous minister, are also counted as one.
Before Mangbai had time to send out the Bayeux Sutra and the relics, dozens of noble generals had already connected in series.
"Catch the tyrant alive!"
"Kill the traitor!"
The noble generals led the army and came from all directions, mingling with the guards of Mang Bai and Hei Rudao.
The Burmese army who was still guarding the city was tense by the shouts of killing in the city, and stood on the city wall completely unaware of what happened.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The musketeers used in this infighting were crackling, and the movement could be heard even outside the city.
"Is this a fight?" Ding Jiasheng was a little surprised.
Yang Zhan also couldn't laugh or cry: "Let's take the opportunity to attack the city."
&nb?People who believe in Buddhism, so leave a Beiye Sutra, please go back to Baoen Temple in Nanjing to enshrine, I hope the master can understand. We don't take it in vain. These treasures and food will be left in your temple to worship the Buddha. "
"Amitabha, it is the will of the Buddha that the Bayeux Sutra can be enshrined by His Majesty!" The abbot is indeed a great monk.
Was the Buddha treasure taken back for nothing?
of course not.
Cannibals have short mouths and soft hands.
These temples sent monks to publicize the good deeds of the Datong Army everywhere. He also said that the military disaster was caused by the king of Burma, and the king of Burma and his treacherous ministers should bear the blame for all the crimes.
After some operations, the people and soldiers in the city felt that the Datong Army was a good person who respected Buddha. The Chinese emperor, who was far away in Nanjing, received the Buddha's will and sent troops to punish the Burmese tyrant.
Mangda, king of Burma, has already harmed the people for several years, and the ruling and opposition parties have long complained about him.
Now everything is straightened out, the Burmese king is a tyrant, and the Buddha issued a decree for the Chinese emperor to send troops to conquer.
No matter how many people died, it was all caused by King Myanmar!
Burmese soldiers and civilians firmly believe what the monks said.
Bagan City is the religious center of Myanmar, and these remarks will definitely spread in the future. No matter how fierce the fighting is here, it is the nobles who are doing the crimes, China and the Emperor of China are always good.?
