The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 829 Members of the King of the Kingdom of Subjugation+1 (Please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket)
There were bursts of deafening gunfire, and all the cavalry and elephant soldiers of the Burmese army who rushed out of the formation suffered a huge blow.

A round of shells skimmed through the dense array, causing great damage to the Burmese army.

The specially trained war horses could barely maintain it, maintaining the formation and continuing to charge, but the elephants were completely frightened.

Elephants are so smart, they are much more timid than war horses. When it is time to escape, the knight on the back of the elephant cannot stop it.

While neighing, the group of elephant soldiers quickly made a mess.

Many elephants even started to turn around and retreat, rolling back the Burmese army's own array.

"kill!"

"Break the formation!"

"..."

Those Burmese soldiers shouted, trying to frighten the frightened elephants, but they couldn't do it at all.

In the blink of an eye, many Burmese soldiers died tragically at the feet of the elephants, and were trampled into flesh.

The several arrays in front of the Burmese army have all become a mess.

At the same time, the cavalry of the Burmese army is getting closer and closer to the coalition array.

The musketeers of the coalition forces made preparations before shooting.

"All there, loaded, ready to fire!"

"Three rows of bursts, release!"

"..."

With a burst of shouting, gunshots rang out.

Snapped!clap clap!

clap clap clap!
The rifle shooters of the coalition army pulled the trigger one after another.

After bursts of gunshots, the Burmese cavalry in front of them fell down a large area.

The horse was hit by lead bullets and fell to the ground with a burst of neighing. The knight on horseback was thrown away, and was even crushed by the horse. His bones and tendons were broken in an instant, and he wailed loudly.

At a distance of 300 meters, the musketeers of the coalition forces had already started firing salvos.

Under the intensive volley of gun fire, the battlefield was full of corpses.

In the midst of the gunpowder smoke, the smell of blood in the air is also spreading rapidly.

As the Burmese cavalry got closer and closer to the coalition array, the hit rate of the coalition muskets became higher and higher, and the casualties of the Burmese cavalry continued to expand.

Just when the Burmese cavalry entered 150 steps in front of the coalition formation, the rotary machine guns pushed to the front of the formation also fired.

Da da!Da da da!

The whisper of the demon resounded on the battlefield again, and some veterans of the Burmese army who had experienced the Battle of Ren'anqiang revived the unbearable memories of the past, and chaos inevitably grew in an instant.

Amidst bursts of intensive gunfire, the distance of 150 steps in front of the coalition forces became a complete death penalty zone.

No matter who it is, as long as it enters this range, it will only end in death.

The dense bullet chains rushed towards the face, tearing up a Burmese soldier, man and horse together, into pieces of meat all over the sky.

At the same time, all kinds of artillery of the coalition forces are also firing at full speed, firing rapidly.

Bullets, shotguns, solid bullets...

All kinds of shells are flying wantonly on the battlefield, harvesting lives.

This is the cruelty of war in the age of firearms!

On the entire battlefield, there seemed to be only the sound of guns and artillery, and even the screams and wailing of Burmese soldiers were suppressed by the sound of guns and artillery.

Finally, the Burmese cavalry who came to charge couldn't bear the casualties, so they turned around and fled, wanting to withdraw from the battlefield.

At this moment, the drum horns in the coalition formation changed, and the guns that were still pouring firepower stopped instantly.

Then there was a rumbling sound of horseshoes!

The cavalry of the allied forces swept out of their own formation.

Teams of fine cavalry from the coalition army swept towards the defeated Burmese army in front of them like a torrent.

"kill!"

"Kill the enemy and break the formation, and serve the emperor!"

"The great Ming is victorious, and my emperor is long live!"

"..."

Amidst the howling sound, the cavalry of the coalition army began to chase and kill the Burmese army's rout, chased the rout, and plundered all the way towards the Burmese army's main formation.

Seeing this scene, Mangbai ordered with a dark face.

"Order the musketeers, prepare to fire three rows in bursts, and defeat the invading enemies for this king!"

Mangbai's order was conveyed, and the musketeers in the front row of the Burmese army loaded and raised their muskets one after another.

The black muzzle is aimed ahead!

However, most of these Burmese army musketeers are recruits, watching the cavalry roaring towards their own formation.

Look at those tall horses running wild.

Their legs and feet were weak, their bodies were trembling, and the fear in their hearts spread rapidly like a plague, and they couldn't complete the salvo at all.

Snapped!
The defeated soldiers of the Burmese army, as well as the coalition cavalry chasing behind the defeated soldiers of the Burmese army, were still 400 meters away from the main formation of the Burmese army.

I don't know who it was, but couldn't bear the pressure brought by the cavalry, and pulled the trigger.

After a gunshot, it immediately followed suit, and countless people directly pulled the trigger without orders.

There were bursts of scattered gunfire, and the two sides were still three to four hundred meters apart, and a large number of Burmese soldiers emptied their muskets.

For a while it looked lively, but it couldn't cause any damage to the cavalry in front of them.

The distance is too far, and the lethality of the Burmese army's muskets is greatly limited.

Seeing this scene, Mangbai's face was dark and frightening, but he could only order the Burmese army to continue loading and prepare for the next round of salvo.

However, looking at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer to their own side, the Burmese soldiers all panicked.

All of them had weak hands and feet, pale faces, and couldn't complete the loading at all.

A Burmese soldier's hands were shaking violently, like a Parkinson's patient. Gunpowder was scattered everywhere, but it just couldn't be inserted into the barrel.

Someone just loaded the gunpowder, but forgot the lead bullet.

Someone loaded a double dose, and the moment the trigger was pulled, the musket exploded, and blood was blown all over his face.

Let out a miserable scream!
For a while, the musketeers of the Burmese army fought very lively.

But looking at the casualties, the casualties caused to the enemy were not as many as their own casualties.

Oh, by the way, the so-called enemy was just the defeated Burmese army who was driven ahead by the coalition cavalry.

The cavalry of the coalition army was still hiding behind the defeated soldiers of the Burmese army, and they were not damaged at all.

On the contrary, the defeated soldiers of the Burmese army were under attack from both sides of the coalition cavalry and their own musketeers, and their defeat became more rapid.

Accompanied by bursts of shouts, the coalition cavalry hurriedly urged the horses to speed up.

Teams of coalition cavalry roared to kill, put their sabers across their sides, and continued to urge their horses. While the horses passed by the Burmese army, the sharp scimitar also chopped down on the Burmese soldiers with the speed of the horses. body.

In the blink of an eye, several Burmese soldiers were cut down.

On the entire battlefield, there seemed to be only the sound of shouting and killing.

In this way, the cavalry of the coalition army chased the defeated soldiers of the Burmese army and poured into the large formation of the Burmese army in one breath.

The defeated soldiers of the Burmese army all showed fear on their faces, and rushed into their own formation with their horses in a panic.

The war horse trampled to death a large number of comrades in arms, Paoze!

The coalition cavalry followed closely behind, their sabers fluttering and their bowstrings trembling, chasing down the Burmese army's rout and the Burmese infantry formation scattered by them, constantly expanding the results of the battle.

More and more Burmese troops were driven by the coalition cavalry, and they quickly broke through the Burmese army formations one by one.

For a moment, a scene of defeat like a mountain fell on the frontline battlefield.

However, there are a full 8 to [-] troops in the Burmese army. Although they are not elite, after all, where the number is, it cannot be defeated at once.

The cavalry charge of the coalition army gradually lost its impact, and the Burmese army gradually reacted and began to respond. Under the command of Mangbai, they continued to mobilize troops and gradually stabilized the front line.

Seeing this scene, the coalition cavalry no longer insisted on defeating the enemy in one fell swoop, and turned their horses' heads and rode away at the moment the sound of the golden bell sounded.

Quickly withdrew from the battlefield!

The cavalry came roaring on their horses, and the demeanor of roaring away was fully revealed.

On the battlefield, only the Burmese army was left wanting to cry without tears looking at the huge casualties of their own side.

In today's battle, the top and bottom of the Burmese army really felt what it means to be powerless!

Mangbai sat straddling the horse, his whole body was full of depression.

……

Coleby led his people to stay in the rear, watching the battle on the front line with a dumbfounded expression.

Such a field battle allowed him to truly see how big the gap between the coalition army and the Burmese army was.

How long has this war started!
The elephant soldiers and cavalry of the Burmese army were quickly defeated, and were even chased by the cavalry of the coalition army, and several of their formations were reversed.

Colby is now full of joy in his heart, thankful that he contacted Daming early and chose to stand on the side of the winner.

Otherwise, he didn't dare to think about what would happen to him.

Facing such a powerful Ming Dynasty, he really can't see any future for Myanmar!

Everyone knows that the subjugation of Myanmar has become an irreversible reality.

At this moment, a personal soldier galloped to Coleby's side and spoke.

"General, the Prime Minister has an order for you to prepare to do it."

"After the next battle, we will rise behind the Burmese army and go straight to the center of the Burmese army."

"It would be the best if we can capture Mangbai in one battle. Even if we can't, we should try our best to disrupt the formation of the Burmese army and fight for the coalition forces."

Coleby nodded and said.

"Send someone to tell the Prime Minister, just say that I, Colby, know about it, and I will definitely handle the matter beautifully."

After the soldier who came to deliver the order left, Coleby gathered his cronies and began to convey the mission to them.

"Myanmar is over, and this battle will undoubtedly be defeated. After that, the subjugation of Myanmar has become a fact."

"But we still have family members, wives, children, and parents. We cannot die with Myanmar."

"Now, there is a chance to survive, and even to keep the glory and wealth, in front of us, everyone, don't be indecisive..."

……

Outside Nay Pyi Taw!
Corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed in a mess.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood in the air.

The first confrontation between the two sides outside the city of Nay Pyi Taw, the Burmese army suffered a big loss.

If it wasn't for Mangbai's orders to the Superintendent's team to be ruthless, killing many rebels, they barely stabilized the battle line.

It is not impossible for the Burmese army to be taken away by a wave.

Liu Shantai withdrew his gaze from the battlefield, and then passed down the military order.

"Order the whole army to press forward, pretend to attack the front of the Burmese army, and concentrate superior forces to attack the weak flanks of the Burmese army, in order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

As the military order was issued, the coalition forces began to move forward.

The heavy artillery that attacked the city extended its shooting range, firing at the large formation of the Burmese army, pouring firepower.

The infantry array marched forward neatly accompanied by the sound of copper whistle.

The black muzzles and sharp bayonets show their majesty.

The neat military uniforms and the sun-reflecting breastplates on the soldiers added a bit of chill to them.

A field artillery and a rotary machine gun were pushed forward, ready to unleash firepower at any time to provide cover for one's own side.

The cavalry who had just returned to the formation had not had a long rest before they were ordered to prepare to attack again.

A famous cavalry came out to guard the flanks of the infantry.

As the cavalry roared, there was a sound of horseshoes on the battlefield.

The main force of the coalition forces also quickly pressed up from the frontal battlefield in order to defeat the enemy in one battle.

As the coalition forces continued to press up, all the Burmese soldiers in the front row were in panic visible to the naked eye.

However, just when the main forces of the two sides are about to fight.

A burst of chaos erupted in the rear of the Burmese army.

The banner of a Burmese army unit changed from the banner of the Burmese army to the flag of the Ming army.

Moreover, this Burmese army was still under the command of its officer, and directly charged towards the Burmese army's central army.

Seeing this scene, there is only one word left in everyone's mind.

Take a blow!
Someone in the Burmese army rebelled, and chose to turn against Mangbai.

The actions of Coleby and others can be regarded as completely ruining the last chance of the Burmese army.

The already demoralized Burmese army collapsed instantly when they saw someone defecting from their own army.

Some people dropped their weapons and knelt down to pray for surrender.

Some people turned around and fled, throwing away their armor and armor.

The formation of the Burmese army instantly became a mess.

When Liu Shantai saw this scene, he would not miss such a good opportunity, so he immediately ordered.

"Send the order, the whole army strikes!"

"Kill the enemy, break the formation!"

"..."

dong dong!dong dong dong!

Immediately afterwards, the drum horns of the coalition forces changed, and accompanied by bursts of piercing charge horns, the coalition forces launched a full-scale attack.

……

After a day of fierce fighting and chasing death to the north, the twelve-pointed sun and moon flag belonging to Ming Dynasty finally rose over the city of Nay Pyi Taw.

The [-] to [-] Burmese troops were wiped out, either killed or turned into prisoners of war of the coalition forces.

Mangbai was also tied into zongzi and brought before Liu Shantai.

Wu Shicong personally led the cavalry to pursue and fight until his body was covered in blood before capturing Mangbai who wanted to escape.

"Commander, Mangbai is here, he was captured by the last general!"

Wu Shicong was in high spirits, his brows and eyes were full of youthful arrogance.

Liu Shantai stepped forward, patted Wu Shicong on the shoulder lightly, and encouraged him.

"Shi Cong, you did a good job. This commander will report the great achievement to His Majesty for you."

"I believe His Majesty will not be stingy with rewards!"

Wu Shicong nodded, only feeling that his hard work was not in vain.

Not long after, Tunqin, the Prime Minister of Burma who had hooked up with Ming in advance, had already led his troops to defect, and Colby, who had made great contributions to the victory of the coalition forces in this battle, was also brought before Liu Shantai.

Tunqin and Kelibi showed serious expressions on their faces, and saluted Liu Shantai very flatteringly.

"I'll pay my respects to the Marshal, Marshal Wandai, Marshal Fangchang!"

Liu Shantai just nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"The two are great heroes in this battle, so don't be too polite!"

"Da Ming will never forget the contributions of the two of you!"

"In order to restore people's livelihood and stability in Nay Pyi Taw as soon as possible, I need the assistance of the two of you. Are you willing to help Daming?"

Tunqin and Coleby looked at each other, and they said excitedly.

"More love from the handsome, dare I try my best?"

Liu Shantai nodded slightly again.

"That's good."

The current Nay Pyi Taw city is in chaos. After the soldiers of the coalition army entered Nay Pyi Taw, they basically had a good time.

Liu Shantai did not stop the soldiers from venting for the time being.

After all, it is fighting overseas, and the army is basically in a state of herding sheep in terms of military discipline.

Zhu Hongyu didn't care, so Liu Shantai naturally didn't care.

Of course, if anyone dares to do this kind of thing in the Ming Dynasty, the military discipline and law will let him know what it means to be unforgiving.

At that time, even Liu Shantai, the head coach, will be held accountable, even to the end.

Certain things are the bottom line for Zhu Hongyu.

What is the bottom line?

It is the line that cannot be violated, the line that whoever breaks it will die.

However, after the soldiers vented their anger, Liu Shantai needed someone to help him stabilize the place.

Ensure Ming's rule over Nay Pyi Taw!
And Tunqin, the former Prime Minister of Myanmar, is the best candidate.

Being tied into rice dumplings with rope, Mangbai, who was kneeling beside him, saw this scene, his canthus was about to burst, his eyes seemed to be bleeding, and he roared hoarsely.

"Tunqin! You should die."

"Is there anything I can do to you? Why did you betray this king and Burma!"

"You are such a wolf-hearted person, you will definitely not end well, definitely not."

"..."

Mangbai roared hysterically, but Liu Shantai only felt that Mangbai was noisy.

If the emperor hadn't named Mangbai as a prisoner of war, Liu Shantai couldn't help but want to execute him.

However, in the end Liu Shantai held back and just waved his hand.

"Come here, take this prisoner to the commander, take care of it, and prepare to present the prisoner to the que."

Not long after, someone sent a detailed battle report to Liu Shantai.

"Commander, this is the battle report for this battle, please have a look!"

Liu Shantai nodded slightly, took the battle report from the military judge and began to read it.

Looking at the detailed battle results and casualty figures on the battle report, he kept nodding.

From the current point of view.

In this battle, the coalition forces killed more than [-] enemies and captured more than [-] enemies.

More than 120 horses were seized, [-] large and small cannons, more than [-] muskets, [-] catties of gunpowder, countless cold weapons, swords and armor...

However, the casualties of the Ming army were only a few hundred people.

Moreover, most of them were injured rather than killed in battle.

It belongs to the kind that can return to the battlefield soon as long as it is cultivated properly.

It can be seen that this battle of Nay Pyi Taw is really a rare victory.

Originally, Liu Shantai had already made preparations to attack Nay Pyi Taw by storm and suffer certain casualties.

However, unexpectedly, due to a coincidence, Mangbai chose to take the initiative to attack and fight with the coalition forces.

Therefore, the coalition forces have won a very brilliant victory this time!
Liu Shantai knows that after this battle, Myanmar will be flat!
……

The coalition forces had fun in Nay Pyi Taw for three days.

Three days later, Liu Shantai ordered a purge of military discipline, and all the coalition forces withdrew to the camp for rectification.

Tunqin, Kelibi and others acted on behalf of Daming and began to stabilize the order in Nay Pyi Taw.

Although Nay Pyi Taw City was devastated, Tunqin's ability is beyond words, he quickly sorted out Nay Pyi Taw City.

A large number of corpses in the city were piled up and burned.

It even organized the Burmese who survived in the city to prepare supplies to reward the army.

……

At the end of the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty, on the eve of the New Year's Eve, the coalition forces sent news to Zhu Hongyu that the Burma war had ended and the Burmese King Mangbai had been captured.

With the fall of Burma, the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty that was damaged by the Yongli calendar can be regarded as making up for it.

Use the blood of the Burmese to tell everyone why Daming is the Kingdom of Heaven!

And more importantly, after the demise of Myanmar, Ming had some ports west of Malacca.

It will be beneficial for Ming Dynasty to expand its influence to the west of Malacca.

Of course, the more important thing is that from now on, Daming can use Myanmar's resources to promote the development of Daming's own industry and commerce.

Don't look at the poor mountains and rivers in Myanmar now, but its resources are not lacking.

Needless to say, the most famous Burmese jadeite is extremely valuable.

As long as it can be developed, it will be a pillar industry.

In addition, Myanmar also has mineral resources such as oil, natural gas, tungsten, tin, lead, silver, gold, and iron.

It is worth mentioning that oil is one of Myanmar's important economic resources!

Although its reserves are not as good as that of a big dog, if it can be properly developed, it can temporarily guarantee that Daming's oil supply will not be problematic.

Although Daming's internal combustion engine is still under development, it is still a long time before it can be put into practical use.

However, the development and utilization of oil resources in Daming has already started.

Using petroleum to refine kerosene, gasoline, diesel, asphalt, and even researching plastic production are all things Daming is doing now.

Kerosene can be used for lighting. Although kerosene lamps are not as bright as electric lamps, they are much brighter than vegetable oil and animal oil lamps.

Now many places in Daming have begun to promote kerosene lamps.

Gasoline, diesel, etc. are good combustion aids.

Whether it is used for daily ignition, or for the development of incendiary bombs, or for using gasoline and diesel to ignite large fires to open up wasteland in Southeast Asia or Siberia, it has a great effect.

Needless to say, asphalt is better and more durable than cement when used to pave roads.

And the process of extracting plastic from petroleum is still under development!

But it will definitely be available in the future.

Not to mention, the biggest role of Myanmar for Daming is actually their population.

That's right, the population of Myanmar!

Women can be used to alleviate the severe imbalance between men and women in Ming Dynasty.

Young and strong men can be used as laborers to provide labor for large-scale infrastructure activities in Daming.

All very useful resources!

Zhu Hongyu now understands why those white men in Europe like to engage in triangular trade.

To make money or not to make money, the root cause is the lack of labor force!
Of course, Zhu Hongyu would not buy black slaves even if Daming was short of labor.

Even if you want to sell black slaves for labor, you must be castrated black slaves!
Black slaves with fertility were not allowed to enter the territory of Ming Dynasty.

This is the bottom line, this is the iron law, and it will be strictly enforced as the ancestral law of Ming Dynasty in the future.

King of future generations, if anyone dares to let fertile black slaves enter the territory of Ming Dynasty, then whoever is not filial to his descendants.

Zhu Hongyu looked at the battle report sent back by Liu Shantai, with a smile on his face involuntarily.

Looking at the specific data in the battle report, Zhu Hongyu was overjoyed, and agreed to Liu Shantai's report that Tunqin was temporarily serving as Nay Pyi Taw's appeasement envoy.

Logically speaking, Liu Shantai, as a general of the military, has no right to interfere with the appointment and dismissal of local civilian officials.

Not to mention that he directly appointed civil servants to govern the place!
However, Myanmar is a war zone, and it is also a war zone for overseas operations, and military generals also need to be delegated to a certain extent.

If you really have to report everything, it will waste too much time.

Myanmar is not Yunnan. Yunnan has already installed telegrams, and reporting news to the capital is just a matter of sending a telegram.

But Myanmar is different!
To send a message from Myanmar to the capital, the first thing is to go through the rainforests and mountains of Myanmar and pass the news to Yunnan.

Then from Yunnan to the telegram to the capital!

Once back and forth, a month's time is wasted.

Of course, what Liu Shantai did was only a temporary appointment, and the real appointment still had to be sealed by the imperial court.

And Liu Shantai's move, to put it bluntly, actually meant to take the initiative to give the emperor a handle.

In this war against Burma, Liu Shantai led the coalition forces Lien Chan and Lian Jie, and it took just over a year to destroy Burma.

It can be described as hard work and meritorious service!

What you need to know is that the current Liu Shantai is already a marquis, although his current marquis is only a descended and inherited marquis, not a hereditary replacement.

But if he wants to be promoted again, he can only add hereditary replacement or be promoted to Duke.

The current Liu Shantai can be regarded as an absolute high-ranking official in the court, leaving the emperor with a non-lethal handle is his way of self-protection.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hongyu finalized the triumphant return of the coalition forces, the change of defense of the Burmese garrison, and the escort of the Burmese king Mangbai to Beijing.

Well, members of the Heavenly King of Subjugation +1!

After all, Mangbai only captured Yongli back then instead of killing Yongli, so Zhu Hongyu would naturally leave a way out for Mangbai.

Well, castrated first to be with Xiao Xuanzi, and after he recovers from his injuries, report to the Tiantuan of the King of Subjugation is Zhu Hongyu's arrangement for Mangbai.

Death is impossible to die, but it is also true that life is better than death.

……

In the imperial study room, Zhu Hongyu stood in front of a map with his hands behind his back, scanning the map with piercing eyes.

He was dressed in black and looked a little solemn.

On the thumb of his right hand is an emerald ring finger, the color of emerald green, which makes people know that it is a high-quality material at a glance.

Well, Zhu Hongyu has now begun to pave the way for the development of Myanmar's jadeite industry.

In this era, when it comes to bringing goods, he, Zhu Hongyu, the emperor, is the top class and the vane of the world.

Before making Zhu Hongyu wait long, the door of the imperial study room was pushed open with a creak.

Jinyiwei Commander Zhou Tianxu, East Factory Governor Lin Muen, and the head of the Military Law Department Xi Wen'an came to the Imperial Study Room to ask for an audience.

"The last general (servant) sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"..."

The three saluted together.

Zhu Hongyu didn't turn around, but continued to look at the map, and spoke in a steady voice.

"The war in Myanmar is over, and our army has won a big victory!"

"The reason why I summoned you all to come here, you should all know, right?"

The three of them said in unison.

"Report to Your Majesty, the minister will know."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then ordered.

"Shuoshu appeared in the army. When the coalition forces fought in Burma, Shuoshu played tricks on logistics, so that the imperial court's supply of food, grass and military equipment to the frontline army was short of ounces, and the supply was not timely."

"Fortunately, nothing bad happened!"

"However, even so, this is something I cannot tolerate."

"There are mice in the granary at home, and we have to clean them up. I hope you won't let me down!"

"Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Military Law Department must jointly enforce the law and cooperate sincerely. I will clean up the rat moths in the general and make sure there are no residues."

"..."

Zhu Hongyu gave some more instructions to the three of them, and then ordered them to retreat.

And Zhu Hongyu continued to stand in front of the map, admiring the current territory of Ming Dynasty.

Gradually, his eyes were set on the grassland to the north.

Zhu Hongyu squinted his eyes, looking at the rivers on the map of the grassland and the distribution locations of different tribes, he said in a low voice.

"Hurry up, hurry up, seal the wolf to live in the Xu, restrain Shi Yanran, I will do it too!"

In history, the only emperor who personally awarded the achievement medals of Fenglang Juxu and Le Shiyanran was Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

However, in the future, Zhu Hongyu also wants to create one to play with!
Sealing wolves to live in Xu, keeping stones in Yanran, drinking horses in the vast sea, and captives fleeing to the north...

I believe that no man can refuse the temptation of these words.

However, although Zhu Hongyu has thoughts about the grassland, he can't be anxious for the time being.

The preparations for the Northern Expedition on the Nine Sides have not yet been completed, and it will take some time to store food, grass and military supplies...

In addition, the imperial court had just finished the war against Burma and flattened Burma.

Now the ruling and opposition parties are somewhat war-weary, and the court's finances are also somewhat difficult.

If you want the Northern Expedition, at least you have to postpone it for a year or two, so that the imperial court's finances can be relaxed.

After all, the resources needed for the Northern Expedition were much greater than those needed for the Expedition.

Zhu Hongyu deeply understands that he can make great achievements, but he must not rush for quick success.

It is reasonable to say that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

……

Japan, Edo!
In the embassy of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, Chen Zhang, the ambassador of the Ming Dynasty in Japan, knelt and sat on a tatami mat.

In front of him, there was a teapot and two teacups on the table.

The teacup is filled with green tea with a light fragrance.

Chen Zhang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then reached out his hand to signal Tokugawa Iakei who was opposite to drink tea together.

"General please have tea!"

Tokugawa Jiaqing showed deep thought, as if he was thinking about something, but it did not prevent him from reaching out to pick up the teacup, and drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp.

“Good tea!”

Ieyoshi Tokugawa smacked his lips and subconsciously praised.

Chen Zhang smiled and nodded.

"That's natural. This tea is the best Mingqian Longjing tea, and it was a tribute tea given by His Majesty when I came to Japan to take up my post."

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iekei said with a smile.

"Lord Chen is indeed deeply trusted by His Majesty!"

It was only halfway through the conversation, but Tokugawa Iekei changed his voice.

"But, can Lord Chen really be the master of this matter?"

Chen Zhang nodded to make a promise.

"That's natural!"

"This matter is a diplomatic promise made by Daming, so there is no reason to go back on it."

"As long as the general can let the Emperor of Japan go to the Emperor, Daming can support the Tokugawa family as the king of Japan."

Requiring the Emperor of Japan to go to the Emperor's Ship was something that the Ming Dynasty and the Tokugawa Shogunate had discussed long ago.

Back then, the Tokugawa shogunate wanted to buy arms from Daming, and it was Daming's first request to let the Emperor of Japan go to the Emperor.

Even requirements such as opening the market and exporting labor are still behind this requirement.

Although the Tokugawa shogunate was entangled back then, whether it was for Ming's arms or to satisfy his own ambitions, Tokugawa Ieyoung finally enjoyed it.

It’s just that these years have not been able to implement it. Until now, Daming couldn’t help urging, and Tokugawa Ieyoshi was only half-push and half-assed to implement the plan to bring down the emperor.

But before the real plan was implemented, Tokugawa Jiaqing still couldn't help but ran to Daming's ambassador to Japan for guarantee.

Only with Daming's guarantee, Tokugawa Jiaqing has the confidence to pull the emperor down.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress those big names on Honshu Island.

And more importantly, the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on Jiuguo Island in the south are also a threat.

Without Daming's guarantee, Tokugawa Ieqing was afraid that just after his side attacked the emperor, there would be troubles in Japan, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing forces on Kyugoku Island would stab his chrysanthemum.

Tokugawa Ieyoshi heard the words, although there was still a tangled look on his face, he finally gritted his teeth and said.

"In this case, the general is relieved!"

"I just hope that Daming can provide some help to my Tokugawa shogunate when this general is acting."

Rather than being a shogun, Tokugawa Ieyoshi wanted to be the real and justifiable king of Japan.

The Emperor of Japan's so-called line of eternal life is nothing but bragging!
The so-called line of ten thousand generations will be terminated in the hands of Tokugawa Ieyoshi.

From now on, his Tokugawa family will become the legitimate rulers of Japan.
