How was the Bago Dynasty established?

From 1287 to 1531 in Burmese history, it was the Bago Dynasty, and Warilu took advantage of the decline of the Bagan Kingdom to dominate Lower Burma. In 1298, he became a minister to China.

The Bago Dynasty, also translated as the Baigu Dynasty, was a local separatist regime in Myanmar established after the collapse of the Bagan Dynasty. In 1281, Fa Liliu, the leader of the Mon ethnic group in Lower Burma, established the capital in Maduba as king, and moved the capital to Bago in 1369, establishing the dynasty.

During the Warilu period, the oldest code of law appeared in Myanmar – the Warrilu Code. Varilu was later assassinated by several of his grandsons, and Varilu’s younger brother succeeded him. During this period, the Mon people conquered Chiang Mai and gained the village of Lamben. The political situation in the country was unstable, bandits were rampant, and even the prince was assassinated by Shan immigrants.

In 1353, when Binyawu succeeded to the throne, Jingmai invaded Zhitong County and other places, and after three years, he repelled the strong enemy. The Red Palace Pagoda was built in 1362. During a hunt in Binyayu, his relatives launched a rebellion and established himself as king. Binyawu wanted to join forces with Jingmai to attack. In 1369, a minister he relied on died of illness, so he had to move to Bago. In the later years of Binyawu, there were frequent political changes in the palace, and civil wars continued.

In 1385, Azadilu was supported by the Pegu people and became the new king. At the beginning, the pressure of the Burmese was not great, and Yazadilu sent 700 people to conquer the Xiandaowei. In 1390, Yazadiru’s rule reached its climax, not only repelling the northern Burmese army, but also successfully suppressing the rebellions of all parties. But it has since declined. Although the Ava army was defeated in 1414, the Shan and Burmese armies in the north overwhelmed the border, and the southern nationalities also frequently attacked.

Beginning in 1386, the Ava dynasty fought the Bago dynasty for 40 years out of economic interests and the need to emigrate to Burma. During the 40 Years War, the two sides changed three generations of kings. After 1425, both upper and lower Burma were devastated by war. The Bago Kingdom reached its heyday during the reign of Queen Xinxiufu (1453-1472) and her son-in-law Damasitti (1472-1492).

Taking advantage of the decline of the Bagan kingdom, Valiliu dominates Lower Burma. In 1298, he became a minister to China. During the period of Faliliu, the oldest code of law appeared in Myanmar, the “Faliliu Code”. Later, Faliliu was assassinated by several of his grandsons, the ministers purged the rebels, and Faliliu’s younger brother succeeded him. During this period, the Mon people conquered Jingmai and gained Lanben Village and other places. The political situation in the country was unstable, bandits were rampant, and even the prince was assassinated by Shan immigrants.

In 1353, when Pinyeyu succeeded to the throne, Jingmai invaded Zhitong County and other places. After three years of hard fighting, he finally defeated the powerful enemy. The Red Palace Pagoda was built in 1362. When Pinyeyu was hunting, his relatives launched a rebellion and made himself king. Pinyeyu wanted to join forces with Jingmai to attack. In 1369, a minister he relied on died of illness and had to move to Bago. In the later years of Pin Yeyu, there were frequent political changes in the palace, and civil wars continued.

In 1385, Rasudari was supported by the Bago people and became the new king. At the beginning, the pressure of the Burmese was not great, and Luo Sudali sent 700 people to conquer the Xiandaowei. In 1390, the rule of Rasudari reached its climax, not only defeating the northern Burmese army, but also successfully suppressing the rebellions of all parties. But it has since declined. Although the Ava army was defeated in 1414, the Shan and Burmese armies in the north overwhelmed the border, and the southern nationalities also frequently attacked.

Bago has a close relationship with the Yuan and Ming dynasties in China. The Yuan Dynasty called it “Denglong Kingdom”, and once sent Guan Zhusijia to his country, and the king sent his uncle Wula Helai to come to China with the Chinese envoy to apply for employment. The Ming Dynasty called “De Leng Guo” (all of which are the opposite of “De Leng”, that is, the country of the Meng nationality), also known as Da Gu La (ie Bai Gu). In 1406 (the fourth year of Ming Yongle), the Ming Dynasty sent an envoy to Zhou Let him go to his country, and set up Da Guli as the “Xuanwei Envoy”. From 1406 to 1425, the Daguli Xuanwei Division and the Demasa Xuanwei Division continued to send envoys to China.
