Min Qide had also fought with the Ming Army before. When he was in Yunnan, he had fought with the Ming Army and fought with the Ming Army. He had killed more than ten local soldiers and Han soldiers, but the Ming Army had also left wounds on his body. This guy was a tiger cub with more than ten scars on his body. He was strong and good at fighting, and he was not afraid of death at all. He had also killed an enemy for the first time when he was thirteen years old. In China, there was also a guy named Qin Wuyang who killed people at the age of thirteen. He looked very fierce, but the difference between the two seemed …
They had fought the Ming army head-on and had no fear of them. They were used to being arrogant, which made him puzzled as to why the two words' Great Ming 'had such a destructive effect on Myanmar. Just hearing the two words could make those people who used to be very respectful and obedient turn against them. How could those Han people who were not strong have such a destructive effect on them?
He was confused and angry, so he wanted to fight back against those who had hurt his country and father.
His order was quickly carried out. This time, the Prince of Myanmar personally led the army, which gave many warriors a lot of confidence. They admired Min Qide's bravery and worshiped him, so they were willing to follow him to the battle.
Min Qide gave a war speech to his warriors. He said that he could not accept his country and his warriors being looked down upon by others no matter what. They had not even seen the shadow of the enemy, but they had actually declined to such an extent. This could not be said to be a disgrace. Their enemies were not only the Ming Kingdom, which had been defeated by them without the ability to fight back, but also their former slaves, the Siamese people.
These lowly slaves actually dared to resist their masters. They were simply asking for death! This time, when they went over, not only would they defeat those arrogant and ignorant Ming people, but they would also enslave the Siamese people who tried to cause trouble. They would kill that reckless Narexuan, wipe out his whole family, and completely destroy the Siamese!
"Destroy the Siamese! Destroy the Siamese! Destroy the Siamese! Destroy Siam! "
Min Qide's roar shook the sky and the earth. A war to save the country was instigated by Min Qide into a war like any other time they sent troops to Burma. The soldiers all believed that the Ming people and the Siamese people were not scary at all. They were there to destroy the Siamese people. The Ming people were hired by the Siamese people, but it was useless. They would put the Ming people and the Siamese people together and kill them together.
The prestige they had built up over the past decades had given them a strong sense of self-confidence.
Self-confidence was a good thing, but it was very pitiful if one's self-confidence was too inflated to the point that they couldn't see themselves and the current situation clearly. Min Qide seemed to have encountered such a situation. His subordinates were also instigated by him and became hot-blooded. They couldn't tell north from south, but fortunately, there were still people in Myanmar who understood.
"Your Majesty, you've also seen those Wohmen. Xiao Ruxun killed 200,000 Wohmen before, and the Wohmen Kingdom was torn apart by her. We couldn't even annihilate a thousand Wohmen, not to mention the Ming Army that wiped out the Wohmen. I think we should be more careful. We can't just blindly send our main force out. We should defend the fortified cities and the dangerous mountains.
When the Ming Army and the Siamese Army attack us, they will definitely have conflicts because of some conflicts, or fight for the spoils of war and the right to command. If we take the initiative to attack them, we will be sending ourselves to our deaths. We can also help them get used to each other. By the time they get used to each other and attack us, we won't be able to fight back anymore! Your Majesty, please think about it carefully! "
The one who said this was an elder who had been with Mang Yingli's family since his grandfather's generation. He was a real elder. He had gone through fire and water with Mang Yingli's grandfather and helped Mang Yingli's father conquer a large piece of land. In his generation, the elder retired with honor and helped Mang Yingli in some other places. He was already over 80 years old, and he was still alive. Mang Yingli respected and trusted him very much.
However, his suggestion this time slightly hurt Mang Yingli's self-esteem.
He had always treated Mang Yingli as his own nephew. He taught and protected Mang Yingli, hoping to see Mang Yingli grow into a real ruler. However, when he saw Mang Yingli's development was a little off, he also worried about it. However, the whole country supported Mang Yingli, so he didn't say anything. Now that the crisis was frequent and the regime was on the verge of collapse, the elder who hadn't expressed his opinion publicly for a long time came out again.
He was very sensitive to the key point of the problem. Although he was already 80 years old, his thinking was more sensitive than some young people. He made a suggestion that should have been very correct, and it was very likely to bring down the Ming Army and the Siamese army. However, because of some words that provoked Mang Yingli, Mang Yingli firmly rejected it.
"No matter what, I grew up in battles, and so did Min Qide. We don't know what defense is, we only know how to attack!"
Mang Yingli firmly rejected the elder's suggestion and refused to see him again. The elder held his cane and chased after Mang Yingli for a long time. Panting, he almost died, but he still couldn't catch up with Mang Yingli. He could only go home and cry in front of Mang Yinglong and his father's memorial tablets.
However, it was useless to cry. Min Qide still set off with 100,000 troops, all the way to the Thai-Burma border. He wanted to catch the Siamese unprepared, and let the Han people of the Ming Kingdom see the bravery of the Burmese warriors, and let them see how strong they were!
Looking at the retreating troops, Mang Yingli's heart wasn't at ease. It wasn't that he wasn't moved by the elder's words, it was just that he wasn't willing to accept it. However, it wasn't that he didn't have his own considerations. Before going to war, he had asked his Portuguese military advisor about the possibility of winning this war. The Portuguese military advisor patted his chest and told him that there was no problem. His men would definitely be able to defeat the enemy in the shortest time possible.
Mang Yingli was not at ease. The firearms were only a very small part of his 100,000 troops, and it was not a magic weapon to win the war. It was only the icing on the cake. If it rained during the war, it would be bad. Firearms could not be used at all, and they still had to rely on hand-to-hand combat to win. Everyone was competing on bravery and fighting spirit, not on one's firearms.
However, Mang Yingli was in desperate need of a supportive opinion to comfort him. This supportive opinion gave him a lot of comfort and facilitated this battle. Therefore, even though he instinctively felt that there was a big problem, he was not willing to look into it in detail and find the reason.
He would rather believe that his choice was right, and he had to believe that his choice was right. He also unconditionally supported Min Qide, who advocated for the war. After all, his throne would still be passed on to him.
