- As soon as the ceremony was over, Mang Ruiti led his cavalry to rush out of the siege of the Meng army, but none of the Meng soldiers dared to intercept him.
Mang Rui Ti returned victorious, and his heroic deeds spread throughout the country. The Burmese people were inspired, but the Shan and Mon people were frightened after hearing about it. This special ear-piercing ceremony greatly boosted the prestige of the young Mang Ruiti and the Toungoo dynasty.
In the 14th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, the Mangrui Ti began to attack the Baigu Dynasty. In the eighth year of the Jiajing envoy's reign, the Baigu Dynasty was destroyed. The Mangrui Ti implemented a policy of uniting the Mon people, making Mon soldiers available to them and hiring Portuguese soldiers with firearms and warships. In the 20th year of Jiajing's reign, they captured Hong Kong and Maduba, the important foreign trade centers. When Mangshweti died, central and southern Myanmar were basically unified.
In the 30th year of Jiajing reign, Mang Yinglong succeeded to the throne. He destroyed the Ava dynasty, conquered the Shan states, completed the second unification of Myanmar, and took a series of measures to develop politics, economy, and culture, with outstanding political achievements.
In the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, the Burmese army attacked Mengyang, and large areas of land such as Mengmi, Mubang, and Mengyang fell under the rule of the Toungoo dynasty. Despite this, the Ming Dynasty still did not take active counterattack measures. On the contrary, in the eighth year of Wanli, , Yunnan governor Rao Renkan sent people to appease Burma, but Burmese king Mang Yinglong ignored him.
In the tenth year of Wanli, the Burmese army broke through Ganya and entered Yaoguan. In the eleventh year of Wanli, the Burmese army burned and looted Shidian and attacked Shunning and Zhanda. They killed and looted everywhere they went, causing great damage to the local society. From the eleventh to the twelfth year of Wanli, the Ming army launched a counterattack and temporarily drove the Toungoo dynasty out of Mubang, Mengyang, Manmo and other places.
Thirteen years after Wanli. The Burmese army continued to invade the Yunnan border of the Ming Dynasty. As the rule of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly unstable, it was unable to consolidate the results of the counterattack in the 11th to 12th years of Wanli. Mengyang, Mubang and other areas were successively controlled by the Toungoo dynasty.
At the end of the 21st year of Wanli, the Burmese army invaded on a large scale. It is said to have an army of 300,000 men and 100 war elephants. After the Burmese army invaded Manmo, they divided their forces into three groups, attacking Lhasa, Chafang and Mangshi, and Shanmulong.
The thirty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. Mang Yinglong's grandson Anabilong sent 300,000 Burmese troops to attack Mubang. However, the Ming army failed to rescue troops and Mubang fell. Chen Yongbin was imprisoned and killed. Thirty-four years after Wanli, the Sino-Burmese war basically stopped. This is because of the Ming Dynasty. The rule of the Ming Dynasty was in crisis, and it was no longer able to recover the vast areas occupied by Myanmar; in the case of Myanmar, King Liangyuan died in the 33rd year of Wanli, and his son Anabilong succeeded to the throne. After occupying the Ming State, That is to say, they moved south to fight the war to reunify Myanmar.
During his reign, Anabilon recovered all the lost territory in Myanmar, especially the Shalian occupied by the Buddha Langji, and expelled the Buddha Langji people from Myanmar, thereby once again completing the unification of Myanmar.
The land occupied by the Ming Dynasty. It must be made to spit out, and now it is obvious that Ding Yunyi has begun to think about this.
"Use aid to Siam as an excuse to send troops!" Ding Yunyi no longer hesitated: "Turn Siam and Taungoo into our colonies! Ye Dahai, how much power do you need?"
"The decision of the general town has been made, and Dahai has nothing more to say." Ye Dahai pondered for a moment: "I will carefully plan the soldiers and warships. It's just that my subordinates are a little worriedWe are here We sent out troops for the first time, and we definitely can¡¯t hide it. What will the Zheng family think?¡±
These words immediately reminded Ding Yunyi.
Yes, Zheng family. What should the Zheng family do?
During the Battle of Satsuma Domain, part of the strength of the Huben Guards had been exposed to Zheng Zhifeng. Although it was to save the Zheng family hostages, it was enough to make Zheng Zhilong wary. Sending troops to Siam and Taungoo this time will probably arouse Zheng Zhilong's suspicion even more.
In the past, I had always been afraid of Zheng Zhilong and was unwilling to have an early head-on conflict, and even formed an alliance with him because of this, but the situation is different now.
Sooner or later, your Tiger Guards will have a head-on conflict with the Zheng Family Navy
But now I need an entry point
¡°Zongzhen, when you went to Satsuma Domain, a strange case happened in Fujian.¡± At this time, Xie Tian, ??who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
"Oh, what's the strange case?" Ding Yunyi asked casually.
"The true and false case of Sister Xia."
Ding Yunyi was stunned for a moment: "Who is Sister Xia?"
"That is the daughter of Jiang Fu, a man from a poor family" Xie Tian cleared his throat and carefully told the whole story of the case in front of everyone
?¡
"Sir, now that the family can't open the pot, and our son has no money to get married, how will we live in the future?
Qianhu Jiang Fu retired from the army due to old age, and lived with his wife Zhao in the suburbs of Beijing. Although Qianhu was a fifth-grade official, his rank was not low, but Jiang Fu was an honest official, his official salary was low, and his family background was low.Cold. Jiang Fu and his wife, as ordinary people, led a pair of children and struggled through their old age.
"The only thing I can do now is marry off my daughter to solve the urgent need. However, seeing that my daughter is about to pass the marriage age and there is no suitable in-laws yet, what should I do? Should I entrust the matchmaker Zhang Yun to find a suitable family for Sister Xia?" Jiang Fu was very anxious and said to his wife Zhao.
Jiang Fu¡¯s daughter is named Xia Jieer. Although Xia Jieer is very beautiful, no one comes to propose marriage because her family is poor and her relatives are not close.
What Zhao never expected was that her husband Jiang Fu sold her daughter to Lehu Zhang through matchmaker Zhang Yun without telling her! Lehu's status is very low and they are untouchables. Lehu in the Ming Dynasty was a lowly occupation that was half prostitute and half ling. The court stipulated that they could only wear green headscarves, and the "green headscarf" became a sign of lowly prostitution. The status of Lehu is lower than that of common people, and they are called professional untouchable Lehu people. Except for some special circumstances, once they enter Lehu status, they will be passed down from generation to generation and cannot be expelled. Lehu cannot enjoy the rights of normal people, cannot hold office, cannot participate in imperial examinations, cannot marry non-Lehus, cannot enter ancestral halls, and cannot have their names entered into genealogies
The social group of Lehu has been nicknamed "bastard, turtle family, xingdao, drummer" and other derogatory names. For example: the title "Wangba" originally refers to "Forgotten Eight", that is, people who have forgotten the eight characters "loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness, integrity, shame, filial piety, and brotherhood". There is a folk jingle like this: "Wearing 70% off buckles on the head, wearing a collar but no sleeves. On the feet are five blessings and holding longevity, and one foot is not enough in the hand. Walking on the street. Line up in two rows, the pots are on the fire, and the shed craftsmen are waiting on them. Work before others and eat after others.¡±
These people can only engage in this industry for generations, and they can only marry within the industry. The situation of Lehu in the Ming Dynasty was very miserable. In addition to the Lehu left over from the previous dynasty, in the early Ming Dynasty, the old officials of the Yuan and Mongolia were not included as Lehu. What was even more cruel was that King Zhu Di of Yan launched the Jingnan Campaign. After the invasion of Nanjing, many ministers who were loyal to Emperor Jianwen but not attached to him were killed, and their wives and daughters were classified as music and were never allowed to become good citizens. Most of these people were sent to Shanxi and Shaanxi.
"I promised my daughter to Zheng Hong from Zheng Zhilong's family." Jiang Fu was afraid that Sister Xia would not agree. Said Zhao, who coaxed his wife.
"I told Sister Xia to Zheng Hong. His family is very rich. If Sister Xia comes to the Zheng family, she will have no worries about food and clothing, and will enjoy happiness all her life." The matchmaker Zhang Yun also deceived Mrs. Zhao.
¡°After hearing what her husband and matchmaker Zhang Yun said, and after receiving the money, Mrs. Zhao believed it to be true. "Being related to the Zheng family is a blessing for my daughter. I, the Jiang family, may also be able to benefit from it." Mrs. Zhao was secretly happy.
Sister Xia was deceived into the home of Lefu Zhang, and then she understood the truth. But it's too late.
"God, how could you treat me so unfairly! Where can I, a weak woman like me, go for help? It's a shame that I was sold by my biological parents, what else can I do now?" Sister Xia's face burst into tears. She was really crying every day. The ground doesn't work. She didn't think about food and tea all day, she lost a lot of weight, and was about to die.
"Sister, don't cry anymore. This is the fate of us women. Some are destined to be rich and some are destined to be humble. We always have to survive. When we get here, we can only live a good life by pleasing those princes and grandsons." After persuasion, in addition to humiliation, in order to make a living, and not to be looked down upon by Zhang, Sister Xia had no choice but to learn some singing, dancing and singing from Zhang, and was forced to become a singing prostitute.
"My parents, you raised me up. Of course I am grateful. But now that you have pushed me into a pit of fire, my daughter feels so unhappy! I thought that I was originally the daughter of Qianhu, but now I have been reduced to a singing prostitute. I hate you. !" From then on, Sister Xia hated her biological parents for pushing her into a pit of fire.
Sister Xia cried and cried all day long at Zhang's place, ruining the laughter many times. Seeing that Sister Xia could not bring him wealth but brought bad luck to himself, Zhang had no choice but to sell Sister Xia to Wu Yi, a musician.
When we arrived at Wu Yi's place, Sister Xia was still crying all day long. Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Wu Yi had no choice but to resell Sister Xia to musician Yuan Gui. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, buying and selling people is a crime. However, in actual life at that time, personal rights could not really be protected by law.
In this way, Sister Xia was resold and resold, and she was bullied and hated her parents even more.
Yuan Gui and his wife are good at enlightening people. They advised Sister Xia: "Instead of torturing yourself, it is better to be happy. Life is just a play. Why bother to make those princes, princes and grandsons happy, and you also get rich clothes and food?" No?"
Over time, Sister Xia began to change her mind. She learned to indulge in the decadent life of a singing prostitute, spending her days feasting and flirting with the princes and princes.
Sister Xia was originally the daughter of Qianhu. Not only was she beautiful and charming, she was also literate, smart and willing to learn, and she was proficient in playing, playing and singing.
Although singing girls mainly sell songs,?But if you are favored by rich and powerful people, it is common for you to be forced to drink or sleep with you. Many of the people who often interacted with Sister Xia in the song and dance hall were princes, princes and grandsons, all children of high-ranking families. Among them was a romantic young man named Kong Dexing, who was from Dongchang in Fujian.
Once, Kong Dexing came to the playground to have fun. Seeing that Sister Xia was good at sex and art, he fell in love at first sight.
Sister Xia's heart skipped a beat when she saw that Kong Dexing was born in a charming and elegant way and understood women's thoughts, "I wonder what your surname is, the master? Which family is your residence?"
"My uncle Kong Mengqing is in charge of Dongchang. He is the governor of Dongchang. He is the most favored minister in front of Long Live Lord today. In front of Long Live Lord, apart from Wang Cheng'en, the most powerful person, he is my uncle. My uncle directly takes orders. Although the emperor's status among the ministers was slightly lower than that of the ceremonial supervisor and eunuch, even the eunuch had to retreat when he reported matters to the emperor, because the secrets could not be known to others. There were many things in charge of the East Factory. , has a strict organization and investigation methods. It sends spies everywhere to collect intelligence for the emperor. It is difficult for the subjects to escape from the trap set by it, such as fighting with each other, letting dogs fight for chickens, and trivial matters such as rice and salt. My uncle not only supervises the East Factory, but also manages the imperial edicts, specializes in managing those disobedient civil and military ministers, and jointly judges prisoners with the three judicial departments. It can be said that all judicial powers from investigation to criminal prisons are controlled by my uncle. In the hands of the two special agencies, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the Three Law Divisions composed of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple are nothing more than agencies in name only"
Seeing that Kong Dexing had a romantic life and was born into a wealthy family, Sister Xia thought to herself: If I climb the high branch of Kong Dexing now, I will have a good support for my whole life.
One is looking for sex, the other is looking for glory and wealth. The two soon become inseparable. "One day without seeing each other is like three autumns apart." Yuan Gui and his wife carefully prepared an exquisite courtyard for them, and they lived as if they were married.
Sister Xia often obtained gold and silver, jewelry, and silks from Kong Dexing. The two indulged in indulgence, singing, dancing, and singing all day long, and lived like gods.
"Sister Xia, daddy is sorry for you!" Just when Sister Xia was drunk and dreaming, her father Jiang Fu was poor and sick and had no money for medical treatment, so he passed away with guilt for his daughter.
After Jiang Fu died, Mrs. Zhao had not seen her daughter Xia for two years. Although the Zhao family sent their son Jiang Cheng to the Zheng family many times to inquire, the Zheng family said that there was no such person as Sister Xia in the family.
"Sister Xia, where are you?" Mrs. Zhao was very concerned and anxious, and did not know her daughter's whereabouts or how she was living. She and her son Jiang Cheng asked people everywhere to find Sister Xia
"I heard that your daughter, Sister Xia, was receiving guests at musician Yuan Gui's song and dance hall. I also heard that she is now being kept by Kong Dexing, the nephew of Master Kong Mengqing of Dongchang!"
When Zhao received the news, she felt like a thunderbolt struck her. She couldn't believe her ears and burst into tears.
"Mom, the only solution now is to bring my sister home as soon as possible, so as not to be bullied outside and continue to embarrass our Wu family!" His son Jiang Cheng looked very excited.
"What my son said is true. Let's go find your sister now!" Mrs. Zhao secretly made up her mind to claim Sister Xia back no matter what.
Soon, Mrs. Zhao's mother and son found the singing venue where Sister Xia was. Mrs. Zhao was so angry that she was trembling all over and said to Yuan Gui: "You damn god, how did you trick my daughter into such a pit of fire? Come back soon." My daughter!"
"Your daughter is not here at all!" Yuan Gui pretended to be fine.
"You still want to lie to us? Someone has already seen it and told us! I want to take my daughter away immediately!"
"You can't do this. I spent money to buy your daughter. Will my money be wasted? Also, your daughter will definitely not go back with you. If you don't believe it, you can ask your daughter!"
"What are you talking about! Will my daughter not want to get out of this dirty pit of fire with me?" - Didn't finish reading?
