Although Xiao Ruxun didn't have a good impression of this country and blacklisted it, Xiao Ruxun also suggested that now was the time to unite with Arakan to destroy the Meng Clan. Moreover, they should pay attention to forming a good relationship with Arakan, so that they could become a barrier to a unified empire further west.
Before Yuan Huang came to Myanmar, he didn't know that there was a great danger lying around him. Only when Xiao Ruxun told him about it did he know that there was a unified and powerful empire covering an area of thousands of miles to the west of Arakan.
This empire was called the Mughal Empire, and it was ruled by a wise emperor. This country was not weak at all. At least, the current Myanmar was not a match for this empire at all.
If they wanted to fight against this empire, the tens of thousands of troops in Myanmar were not enough. If they expanded the army by 100,000, they would only be able to form a front army. Without the full support of Daming, they would not be able to win, which was equivalent to causing a huge trouble for Daming.
But there was no need to worry too much, because this empire had its own troubles. It was deeply involved in the religious quagmire, just like Daming, which was currently in a financial crisis. Its willingness and ability to expand was not very strong. Otherwise, why would it allow a small country like Arakan to exist?
But at least for now, we should not have a direct relationship with it, otherwise, it would definitely disrupt our overall plan.
Therefore, we should ally with Arakan and help them recover their territory as bait, so that they would attack the Meng Clan from the north and the south together with us. We should solve the war as soon as possible and reduce the consumption.
Yuan Huang remembered Xiao Ruxun's arrangement, and he also thought that this method was very feasible. Even if they were using each other, as long as they had the same purpose, they could reach a cooperation agreement. Anyway, diplomacy had been like this since ancient times.
As a qualified politician, Mingye Suoji naturally knew who he should ally with and who he should fight against. He was just surprised that the powerful and ancient country that only existed in word of mouth of merchants had become his neighbor.
Limited by the actual situation and population, Xiao Ruxun's ruling core in Myanmar could only be limited to the southern coastal area. The western area bordering Arakan was still a no man's land. There was no actual rule, and Arakan had never felt the threat from China.
But now, they felt it.
The businessman sent by Yuan Huang had a very clever mouth. He cleverly explained Yuan Huang's meaning. He roughly said that when they were dealing with Wang Mang of the Donghu Dynasty, they expelled the Meng people here, but did not expect that there was a country ruling here.
Now that they knew, they invited Mingye Suoji to join them to attack the Meng Clan. If they succeeded, all of the Arakan Dynasty's land would return, and they would not have a single inch of land land.
This was a very tempting option......... now suddenly a strong ally suddenly sent sent sent a strong a strong ally's suddenly a strong's, he naturally, a strong strong ally's strong's's was''s's... strong't.
But while he was happy, he also had some doubts about whether this was true. The Meng Clan had wreaked havoc in his country for almost three years, and he was very troubled and helpless. Now that there was suddenly a possibility to solve the problem, he naturally doubted the sincerity of the Daming Dynasty.
In the past few years, he had roughly understood that the sudden appearance of the Meng Clan had something to do with the Daming Dynasty. As for whether it was the Daming Dynasty's order, or whether it was the Meng Clan's' own 'action, as the Daming Dynasty said, these were all questions.
He had to doubt.
The messenger said that the Daming Dynasty had begun to attack the Meng Clan from the south to the north. As long as Mingye Suoji sent troops now, they would definitely be able to wipe out the Meng Clan and take back the territory.
Mingye Suoji was dubious about this, and still wondered whether this was a scheme by the Meng Clan and the Daming Dynasty to deceive him. At this time, his subordinates sent him a report.
The 30,000 Meng Clan troops that had been confronting Mingye Suoji's army for years suddenly moved south in a large scale. The spy they sent reported that the Meng Clan troops in the north were moving south because there was a war in the south and they needed the army's support. As for whether this was true, the spy said that the possibility was very high.
The barbarians' movements were very flustered, and many things were thrown away. They moved as if they only cared about speed, and did not consider other things at all. They did not care about many fortifications at all. Now, there were no Meng Clan troops in the entire front line.
Mingye Suoji was still skeptical, so he personally took Yuan Huang's messenger to the front line to check. At first glance, he found that it was true. Many of the fortifications that had troubled Mingye Suoji before were not guarded by the Meng Clan people, and the Meng Clan troops that had been confronting them in the past were also gone.
Was this true?
"Does the King still doubt the sincerity of the Daming Dynasty? If this is just to deceive, or if the King thinks this is a deceit, then I have nothing to say. I will go back. The Daming Dynasty does not need an ally who can't judge truth from lies. "
When Mingye Suoji was in a dilemma, the messenger added this sentence at a very opportune time, instantly causing Mingye Suoji's heart to be unbalanced.
To tell the truth, he did not want to trouble Akbar. Who knew if Akbar would leave after sending people here? Compared to Akbar, who knew the ins and outs of his side, these unfamiliar Chinese people were more reliable.
Sleeping next to a tiger was a little dangerous, but sleeping between two tigers might cause a normal person to collapse, but Mingye Suoji found an unexpected chance of survival.
Previously, Akbar was troubled by his deep cooperation with the Portuguese. They cooperated with the Portuguese, equipped with excellent firearms, and trained an excellent army, which made Akbar feel troubled time and again. However, this advantage no longer existed after Xiao Ruxun's strong rise.
More than half of the excellent army was lost in the three years of war, and the Portuguese went to Myanmar to seek refuge with Xiao Ruxun …
Then, the current chance of survival existed in a special position in Arakan. A mountain cannot have two tigers, and his position was so special. Whether it was the Chinese or the Mughals, if they wanted to annex him, they would have to consider each other. Thus, they would have to hold back from taking action. It was not impossible for him to strike from both sides.
This was also a helpless way for a small country to survive. Otherwise, how could he count on Akbar's kindness?
At the moment, it was better to test the credibility and worth of these Chinese people. If possible, it was not impossible to have a deep relationship with them and use them as an arm to resist the threat of the Mughals.
As for whether these Chinese people were sincere, whether the sudden appearance of the Meng Tribesmen was real, and whether there was another reason for the setbacks in the previous battles, Mingye Suoji did not want to think about it.
