In the sixth year of Daming Longqing, in 1572, Mang Yinglong, the lord of the Burmese Donggu Dynasty who had conquered Thai laos, continued to expand northward, encroaching on the southwestern border of Daming and enticing Theofu envoy Tosin in Longchuan (present-day Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan). Dosnin does not follow.

In that year, Duo Shining was poisoned and killed by Yue Feng, the secretary (clerk) of Longchuan Xuanfu. In the first year of the Ming Dynasty, in 1573, Mang Yinglong led the Burmese army to attack Longchuan. Yue Feng led the Burmese army to slaughter the Duo clan and married The Governor of the nearby city of Mang (present-day Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan) and defected to Burma with him. After that, Yue Feng colluded with Burma to plague the southwest of Daming and encroach on the southern border of Daming Province.

Emperor Mang Yinglong of Burma

Mang Yinglong rewarded Yue Feng for his merits, adopted him as an adopted son, and ruled the homeland of Longchuan. This traitor Yue Feng, who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and defected to Burma, was a native of Linchuan, the capital of Fuzhou prefecture in the Western Province of Daming, who had previously traveled to Longchuan and made friends with Tusi Duoshining.

In the ninth year of the Wanli Calendar, in 1581, the Burmese Emperor Mang Yinglong died, and his son Mang Yingli succeeded to the throne. In the same year, Duo Shi, the wife of Tusi Daoluoen of Daming (present-day Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan), accused Yue Feng of the crime against Yue Feng in the province of Yunnan, because her father Duo Shining and her mother and brother were killed by Yue Feng.

The following year, Liu Shi, the governor of Yunnan, heard about the incident with the imperial court. Yue Feng heard the sound of the wind and feared Tianwei and fled to Burma, turning to Mang Yingli for help. In the winter of 1582, the tenth year of the Ming Dynasty, Mang Yingli led the Burmese army to invade the border of Daming Yunnan. The Frontier Toast asked for help from Mu Changzuo, the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan Army.

In the eleventh year of the Wanli Calendar, in 1583, Daming sent the generals Deng Zilong and Liu to lead the Ming army to defend Against Burma. Deng Zilong and Liu Ling led the Ming army to defeat the Burmese army several times at Yanda (present-day Yingjiang County, Dehong Prefecture, Yunnan) and Tengyue (present-day Tengchong, Baoshan, Yunnan).

In June, Deng Zilong led the Ming army to Yaoguan (姚關, in modern Shidian County, Baoshan City, Yunnan) to fortify, and in November, Deng Zilong defeated the Burmese army at Yaoguan. Subsequently, Liu Ling led the Ming army to attack Longchuan, and yue Feng, a traitor of the Han Dynasty, surrendered. At the same time, Deng Zilong defeated the Burmese army at Wandian (present-day Changning County, Baoshan City, Yunnan).

Liu Ling

In the twelfth year of the Wanli Calendar, in 1584, Liu Ling sent an army from Longchuan to attack Manmo (the area around present-day Bamo, Burma), along the way Mengmi (northwest of present-day Shan State, Burma), Mengyang (present-day Moning, Kachin State, Burma), Mubang (northeast of present-day Shan State, Burma) and other toasts fell in the wind. The Ming army reached the city of Awa, the old capital of Burma (present-day the middle and lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River in central Burma). The Governor of Awa, Burma, asked mang to surrender.

In February of that year, Deng Zilong broke the Burmese army at the Three Peaks Mountain and pacified the lands of Gengma (present-day Lincang, Yunnan), Mengding (present-day Lincang, Yunnan), and Menglian (present-day Pu'er, Yunnan). Subsequently, Liu Ling returned the army from Awa to Manmo, and made an alliance with Meng Yang, Meng Mi, Mu Bang, Long Chuan and other toasts, and erected a monument to Ji Gong.

During the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan province was bordered

With this monument, Daming showed the good intention of the imperial court to form an alliance with Tusiyong in the southwestern frontier, declared that Daming had recovered the Three Propaganda and Six Comforts, consolidated Daming's rule in the southwestern frontier, and shocked Burma's ambitions to move north.

In September of that year, Yue Feng's father and son were beheaded by the Jingshi. This battle was the first Ming-Burmese war, which ended with the total victory of the Ming Dynasty. After the war, unrest broke out in Burma, and Thailand declared its independence from Burmese rule under the leadership of Naresuan the Great.

However, the king of the Burmese Donggu Dynasty, Mang Yingli, was still a thief, and in the eighteenth year of the Wanli Calendar, in 1590, he went north again to attack the various toasts in the southwestern border of Daming.

In the nineteenth year of the Wanli Calendar, in 1591, Daming again sent Deng Zilong to lead an army to defend Burma. This time, Daming sent envoys to Arakan in southwestern Burma and Thailand in the southeast, inviting them to attack Burma from north to south. This battle was for the Second Ming-Burmese War.

However, due to the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi's unification of Japan, he sent troops to Korea and reached the banks of the Yalu River, threatening the safety of The Great Ming Dynasty. Daming was forced to send troops to aid Korea in 1592, the twentieth year of the Wanli Calendar. Therefore, Daming had no choice but to take a defensive position against Burma, abandoning the toasts of Mengyang, Mengmi, and Menggong (present-day Menggong River Valley in northern Burma), and shrinking the southwest region to the line of Mubang and Menggun (the border area of present-day China, Burma and Thailand).

However, the Burmese Donggu Dynasty suffered a great decline in strength after these two wars. After Thailand, Laos also declared independence from Burma. Subsequently, a civil war broke out in the Dongwu Dynasty, splitting into baigu, donggu, beim, Awa, Mengyang, Lanna and other forces, fighting each other endlessly. Lanna became a vassal of the Ayutthaya dynasty in Thailand in 1599, and Mong Yang was re-annexed to Daming in the twenty-sixth year of the Wanli calendar and again in 1598.

Nanchang and Fuzhou provinces of Daming Jiangxi Province

It is worth mentioning that the two Ming-Burmese wars involved three Jiangxi people. In addition to Yue Feng, a native of Linchuan, Jiangxi, who caused the Ming-Burmese War, Deng Zilong and Liu Ling were also from Jiangxi. Deng Zilong is a native of Fengcheng County, Nanchang Province, Jiangxi Province, and Liu Ling is a native of Xinjian County, Nanchang Province, Jiangxi Province.

Today, the dust and sand of history have gone, and the stories of these three Jiangxi people, along with the conquest between countries, the changes in China's southwestern frontier, and the confrontation between betrayal and loyalty, have long been transformed into the smoke clouds of history, along with the rolling waves of the Irrawaddy River of the Dulong River.
