When King Tang of Guangdong was overseeing the country and the Ming army invaded Yunnan, thousands of miles away in Burma, Zhu Youlang, the son of the Great Ming Dynasty, lived a life of a prisoner who painted the ground as a prison.

When Zhu Youlang fled into Burma, King Li Dingguo of Jin was still organizing the Battle of Mopanshan, trying to save the Daming River, which was about to collapse, and it was impossible for the Qing army to directly threaten the safety of the Yongli court that had fled to the border. Zhu Youlang can completely wait for the King of Jin and the Qing army to decide the outcome before making a decision. However, Yongli, who was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, disregarded the dissuasion of the accompanying officials, regardless of the **** battle between the King of Jin and the soldiers of the Qing army, surrounded by Ma Jixiang, Li Guotai and others on the Burmese passenger ship, and since then abandoned countless soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Youlang escaped, except for him and Ma Jixiang and others, most of the civil and military officials and escorts who accompanied them had no ships, and even the Empress Dowager and Donggong ignored them. After Zhu Youlang set off on the boat, the queen mother was furious and said, "The emperor doesn't care about his mother again?" Zhu Youlang waited for two days to moor. Along the way, the Burmese villagers supplied supplies. On the 18th, the boat arrived at Jinggong (Mandalay), and on the 24th, the Burmese king asked the Yongli Emperor to send two ministers to cross the boat to speak.

Zhu Youlang sent Ma Xiongfei, the governor of the central government, and Wu Changqi, the censor, to "proclaim the meaning of Nanxing". Although the Yongli court still regarded itself as the suzerain, it actually came here as a refugee. Burmese monarchs and ministers are naturally very clear about this. In order to avoid difficulties in handling proper etiquette, the Burmese king refused to receive the envoy, and only dispatched Han Chinese to pass messages through the intermediary, and allowed Emperor Yongli and his entourage to temporarily stay in the territory.

Minister Pan Shirong led the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers who received the land route southward to reach the other side of the river in the city of Ava, the capital of Mendu, on March 17. Because of the crowd, the king of Burma was disturbed. He said: "This is not to avoid chaos. It's Yintu's ear of our country!" They dispatched soldiers to surround them, and forcibly placed this group of Nanming personnel, male, female, old and young, in the nearby villagers' homes to be guarded, one person per family, and prohibited from coming and going. This group of Nanming people lost their wives and children in an instant, their family property was wiped out, and they lost their personal freedom. The political envoy Zhu Yunjin and the Chinese army Jiang Chengde were forced to hang themselves.

On the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the Burmese authorities moved Emperor Yongli and his entourage from the well to the place across the river from Awa City, which had been reached by the original overland road. They built a city with bamboo and built ten thatched houses as permanent The residence of Emperor Li, other accompanying officials and others built their own houses to live in.

After Zhu Youlang and his entourage settled on the outskirts of Ava, the capital of Myanmar, it was difficult to maintain contact with the anti-Qing forces in the country. Although the Myanmar authorities allowed them to enter asylum, they never received a formal official reception. Although the Burmese king lived in Awa City, and the exiled Yongli monarchs and ministers lived outside Awa City, across the river and close at hand, the two never met.

At the beginning, the Myanmar authorities also gave some material help, that is, the so-called tribute was quite generous. Zhu Youlang also carried a little storage, intending to give back a generous gift, which is a condescending "reward" in the custom of the Ming Dynasty. However, Burmese officials said that they did not dare to salute without being ordered by the king, which meant that they were unwilling to salute the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youlang had no strength, so he had to let it go.

The Yongli court was temporarily resettled, and most of the civil and military officials had no intention of losing the country and worrying about the king, and continued to live a life of peace and happiness. The local Burmese residents came to the residence of Yongli monarchs and ministers to trade, but many officials of the Ming Dynasty ignored the national body, short clothes and lame, mixed in with Burmese women, molested women, and sat on the floor laughing. Burmese officials looked down on the ugly behavior of the fleeing officials of the Ming Dynasty, and said privately: "The ministers of the Celestial Dynasty are so playful that the world is safe and sound?"

A Han businessman also said sadly: "I see that these many masters are less and less like a person who wants to be a king."

Zhu Youlang was also in pain when he saw this situation. In order to maintain the security and integrity of the so-called imperial court, he decided to send officials to take turns to patrol the night. Zhu Youlang's left foot was ill and moaned day and night, but Ma Jixiang, Li Guotai and others would drink it in the crown prince's house. There was a Cantonese actress Li Yingxiang in the house, and Jixiang and Guotai ordered her to sing and drink wine, and Li Yingxiang flowed With tears in his eyes, he said: "The upper palace is so close, and the jade body violates the harmony. At this time, I want to have fun. Although Yingxiang is a villain, he doesn't dare to answer." Wang Weigong even picked up a stick and beat him.

When Zhu Youlang heard the noise and weeping, he sent someone to pass the decree: "If the royal family has no regard for me, they should also remember the death of their mother and the new mourning. It is not appropriate to hear the music." In addition, Suining Bo Puying, **** Yang Guoming and others opened casinos, shouting and drinking day and night, making a lot of noise. Emperor Yongli was furious and ordered the guards in Jinyi to go to demolish the casino. All the ministers were very excited about gambling. Whatever the emperor's decree, the casino was reopened in another place, and the noise was the same as before.

The king of Burma sent someone to invite Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian, to cross the river to participate in the Burmese New Year Festival. After Mu Tianbo crossed the river with the gifts originally intended by Emperor Yongli, the Burmese monarchs and ministers did not allow him to wear Ming Dynasty clothes and forced him to change into national costumes with the envoys of the small Burmese states to meet him in front of the Golden Palace of the Burmese King. According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the Mu family of Qianguo, who guarded Yunnan, represented the Ming Empire to govern the chieftains of Yunnan and deal with the affairs of the surrounding vassal countries. The style is very noble. At this time, he turned upside down and wanted to declare himself a minister to the King of Burma with bare feet and national costumes, and Mu Tianbo's distress could be imagined.

After returning from the ceremony, Mu Tianbo said to the court officials: "When I was in Jing Gen (Ji Geng) in March, I didn't need to say anything, and today I'm in a dilemma. If I don't give in, the chariot is already in the tiger's den. Whoa, whoa, who calls it? Am I here?" He burst into tears. At this time, Yang Zai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Ren Guoxi, a pedestrian, even reported that Mu Tianbo had lost his body and humiliated the country. Emperor Yongli had no choice but to stay in China and not report it.

In June, Ma Jixiang and Li Guotai told Emperor Yongli that the courtiers and entourages were living in difficulties, and some people had run out of food, which meant that Zhu Youlang should take out "inner money" for relief. The emperor who took refuge in another country did not have much property at first. After many disasters, the savings given by the original King of Jin had already been stretched out. ministers.

Li Guoyong, the **** of Dianxi, kowtowed: "I dare not break this treasure!"

Ma Jixiang and Li Guotai, however, had no scruples, smashing the national seal in front of Yongli, and handing them out to the ministers to count money ranging from one to two taels. Soon, the Burmese side sent a batch of newly harvested rice, which Zhu Youlang instructed to distribute to the impoverished accompanying officials. However, Ma Jixiang regarded it as his own, and only distributed it to those who were close to him, and not to others at all. This incident caused great dissatisfaction within the exiled court.

In grief and anger, Deng Kai, the chief guard, shouted: "At this point, you still dare to deceive the public. What is your conscience?

Yongli heard Deng Kai's sorrowful cry in the room, and was about to come out to ask for an explanation, but Ma Jixiang, the first assistant, ordered his younger brother Ma Xiongfei to lead someone to knock Deng Kai to the ground, so that Deng Kai could not walk due to his injury and became a lame man.

Zhu Youlang is actually a person who likes to be lively. Back then in Wuzhou, Guangxi, there were a bunch of idlers playing with him. He thought that after becoming the emperor, he would be able to live a more comfortable and lively life. However, it turns out that since he became the emperor, he has not lived a comfortable life again. First bumped everywhere, then held hostage by Sun Kewang, and now living in a foreign land. What made him even more unbearable was the gang of ministers around him. They have always lived a life of pampering and pampering, but now, the emperor has no money to reward, and no land to give, and he has become a veritable bare rod. emperor. These officials still stretched out their hands to ask Yongli Emperor for this and that.

Not long after the jade seal was smashed and divided, Ma Jixiang and the others asked Zhu Youlang for something. Zhu Youlang had no choice but to take out some of the treasures in his collection and give them to the ministers to win the joy of the ministers. Later, when the collection was gone, Zhu Youlang asked for gold and silver jewelry from Queen Wang and gave them to the ministers. Later, there was nothing left, and the ministers still came to ask Emperor Yongli for a salary.

Zhu Youlang angrily pointed at Ma Jixiang and asked, "Why does Mr. Ge always bring people to ask me for a salary?"

Ma Jixiang actually did not change his face, and said confidently: "As the saying goes, if you eat the king's salary, we will share the worries for the king. If I don't eat the king's salary, how can I share the worries for the king?"
