The Decline of Meng Ling

1262, the vassal state Lanna made Chiang Rai its capital, 128 1 year, conquered Haliben, a country that paid tribute to the Yuan Dynasty (now the Meng regime in northern Thailand), and angered the Yuan Dynasty. 1284, General Bloch of Yuan Dynasty led an expedition to Lanna and defeated Meng Ling when passing through Meng Ling. 1296, the Yuan Dynasty changed Meng Ling to "Qie Ri", established Qie Ri General Administration of Military Affairs, and appointed Daobowa, then king of Meng Ling, as hereditary general manager.

Meng Ling's country surrendered without a fight, which put great pressure on the Lanna countries in the south. King Lannamanglai used the kinship with the royal family of Meng Ling to divide the rulers, and divided the rulers of Meng Ling into two factions: the Yuan-reducing faction and the anti-Yuan faction. People who didn't want to join the Yuan Dynasty went south to unite Lanna against Yuan Dynasty, which strengthened Lanna's strength.

Meng Ling was occupied by the Yuan Dynasty, which became the border of the Yuan Dynasty's southward conquest of other Dai kingdoms. Every time the Yuan Dynasty went south, it took Meng Ling as the rear area, raised rations and collected a large number of husbands. The people were miserable and emigrated to the south in succession, and the population of Meng Ling gradually decreased and lost its autonomy.

After the Yuan Dynasty withdrew from Meng Ling, Meng Ling was first occupied by Ming Dynasty, Xu Dong and Qing Dynasty, and became a vassal state of these dynasties. Because they were located at the southern end of the closed Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, these dynasties allowed them to develop, and Dai culture was developed and preserved in this closed environment.
