The king of the Ava dynasty spoke with great enthusiasm and passion.
But one of the officials below frowned and said:
“Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this matter. The Ming Dynasty’s team landed in southern Myanmar, which is within the territory of the Bo Gu Dynasty.”
Furthermore, this Crown Prince, with the demeanor of a king, summoned the kings of three dynasties of Burma to meet him.
It is currently known that neither the king of our Ava Dynasty nor the neighboring Luchuan Dynasty has gone to see this Crown Prince.
He was thinking that the king of the Pegu Dynasty might not go, thus angering the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
But the current situation doesn't seem to reflect this; otherwise, why would the Pegu Dynasty have the mind to send troops to our north?
The king of the Ava dynasty said:
"you mean……"
The minister continued speaking:
"What I mean is, perhaps the king of the Pegu Dynasty in the south is spineless and was so frightened by the appearance of this Ming prince on his territory that his legs went weak, so he probably went to see this Ming prince."
Subsequently, the Pegu Dynasty surprisingly found the courage to initiate hostilities against our Ava Dynasty. This, in a possible analysis, could be attributed to the support of the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
King Wenyan of the Ava dynasty remained silent for a moment:
"Indeed, if the Pegubo Dynasty were to receive the support of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be a good thing."
But then the king of the Ava dynasty sneered:
"I heard that this time, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty only brought a little over 10,000 men on the ship. So even if they help the Bogu Dynasty, they only have a little over 60,000 soldiers in total. Obviously, they are not a threat to our Ava Dynasty, so why should we be afraid?"
The minister then said:
"Your Majesty has been careless. Although in terms of military strength, my Ava Dynasty may still be fearless, the Ming Dynasty is not just composed of the ten thousand soldiers under this Crown Prince."
The Ming Dynasty's homeland reportedly had hundreds of thousands of troops, several times larger than the combined forces of the Ava Dynasty and even the three major dynasties of Burma. Such overwhelming military power could not be ignored.
Therefore, if this Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty were to participate, it would mean that the entire Ming Dynasty would be involved as well. Thus, his ten thousand soldiers are not a significant threat.
But once the war begins, even if we defeat all of the prince's more than 10,000 soldiers and the Pegu Dynasty's 50,000 soldiers.
"Would the Ming Dynasty immediately dispatch even more soldiers from the Northeast to overwhelm us with overwhelming force?"
These words finally brought the king of the Ava dynasty to his senses.
He always seemed like a madman, or a megalomaniac, looking down on everyone, even the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty.
But honestly, is it possible to disregard the Ming Dynasty?
Of course not, after all, the Ming Dynasty is really strong. If we offend the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, does that mean we offend the Ming Dynasty itself?
Does starting a war with the forces under the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty mean starting a war with the Ming Dynasty itself?
Although the kings of the Ava dynasty were arrogant, they were not fools after all, and they understood the consequences when weighing the pros and cons.
So after thinking it over, he still stared at the minister who had spoken and said:
“Even if what you say makes sense, it is unavoidable. We might as well fight. Let our Ava Dynasty show our strength. Perhaps then, after the Ming Dynasty has witnessed the power of our Ava Dynasty, it will not dare to make any further moves.”
It must be said that the kings of the Ava dynasty were very confident, and it's unclear where they got their courage.
They actually thought that as long as they fought against Zhu Yunwen's 10,000 troops and the Pegu Dynasty's 50,000 troops, the Ming Dynasty would see the power of the Ava Dynasty and be afraid to give up.
Regardless of the circumstances, his current state of confidence has certainly fooled those ministers, leaving them completely bewildered.
So they began to seriously discuss countermeasures.
It simply means winning this victory with a very tough stance, winning calmly and decisively, and in a way that is overwhelming.
In their view, this might have a certain deterrent effect on the Ming Dynasty, making the Ming Dynasty not dare to underestimate the Ava Dynasty, and thus they would no longer dwell on this matter.
After all, the king of the Ava Dynasty believed that they only wanted to rule Burma and were not going against the Ming Dynasty, so he thought they would not provoke the Ming Dynasty too much.
It has to be said that sometimes ideas are wonderful, but reality is often very cruel.
Just like the Ava Kingdom at this moment, they arrogantly believe that things will proceed according to their wishes.
The truth has already been determined, they just don't know it yet.
Soon, the two armies met, and the war began.
The king of the Ava dynasty remained calm, believing that victory was assured.
The king of the Pegu Dynasty was very worried, but he was not flustered. He believed that even if they lost, it would only involve the Ming Dynasty.
There is still a chance to turn things around.
There was another dynasty, the Luchuan Dynasty, which was thinking of reaping the benefits without lifting a finger, completely unaware that its situation was also very precarious.
The battle ended very quickly.
The news reached both the Ava Kingdom and the Pegu Kingdom, with the king of the Ava Kingdom being the first to receive it.
He was already in the palace hall, discussing matters with his officials, when suddenly a general rushed into the hall, knelt down, and said:
"Your Majesty, it's over, it's all over..."
