Chapter 565
The most powerful of the Ming army is the army, whether it is the absolute superiority in numbers or the advanced and sharp weapons and equipment, it is the most reassuring to the emperor.

Although the emperor also attached great importance to the navy, the powerful army should also be used well, making it a sharp edge for Ming to spread in all directions and expand its territory.

Moreover, for now, the army is also the most realistic and powerful tool for conquering the Quartet.

Crusade against Burma and firmly occupy northern Burma, making it the territory of the Ming Dynasty and a stable base for expansion to South Asia, this is the deep meaning of the emperor's war.

Bypassing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it can directly attack the four border Indian states through northern Myanmar: Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram and Manipur.

Even, the emperor had even bigger ideals.That is to go directly to the Indian Ocean through land.

hum, hum!If it were not blocked by the sea, the army of the Ming Empire could sweep the world with its artillery and flintlock guns.

Naturally, Wang Sanshan didn't know that the emperor's ambitions were greater than the sky. He was over 70 years old, and after many pleadings and volunteers, he snatched the commander-in-chief of the Burmese expedition.

The emperor also wanted this old minister to start well and end well. After defeating the Toungoo Dynasty and stabilizing the occupied areas in northern Myanmar, Wang Sanshan can retire honorably and be replaced by Fu Zonglong.

For Myanmar, the emperor didn't pay much attention to it.At the end of the Southern Ming Dynasty, thousands of remnant Ming troops could enter the city of Awa, not to mention the powerful Ming army now.

But the emperor still reminded Wang Sanshan not to underestimate the enemy, not to advance aggressively, to crush with full strength and win a steady victory.

"Of course, if there is chaos in Myanmar and our army can securely occupy Awa, the 'granary' of Upper Myanmar, Wanzai will definitely not take responsibility." Wang Sanshan changed the subject and discounted the emperor's request.

Lu Qin and the generals looked at each other and smiled, they knew it well, and were also happy that they didn't have to restrict their hands and feet too much.

Wang Sanshan also smiled slightly, turned his eyes to an inconspicuous official beside him, and said, "This is Wang Pingda from Qianhu Jinyiwei of the Zhenfu Division. Please tell him about the situation in Myanmar and how to contact the Siamese Communist Party. The situation in Burma."

Only then did the generals realize that this humble official had a great background, even Wang Sanshan did not dare to neglect him.

Wang Pingda bowed his hands to the crowd, and he was not polite, and began to talk, "In the 28th year of Wanli, Siam, Dongyuhou and the Arakan Dynasty joined forces to attack Bagu and captured the Burmese king Mang Yingli..."

The death of King Mangyingli of Myanmar did not bring about the final demise of the Toungoo Dynasty. King Liangyuan, the youngest son of Mangyinglong, saved the decline, occupied the "granary" area centered on Ava, and preserved half of the mountains and rivers in Upper Myanmar. Liangyuan period.

In the 33rd year of Wanli, Anabilon succeeded to the throne and regained all the lost land in lower Myanmar, especially in 1613, regained Shalian occupied by the Portuguese, thus completing the unification of Myanmar again.

The current Burmese king is Thalom who has just succeeded to the throne. Although the country is known as rich and the people are strong, if we study and analyze it deeply, we can find that internal and external troubles still exist, but they are temporarily suppressed.

Since the 20th year of Wanli, the main force of Thailand and Myanmar fought in Kuoshala, Thailand. After the defeat of the Burmese army, Myanmar has been at a disadvantage in the Thailand-Myanmar War since then. Up to now, southern Myanmar and northern Thailand are still fighting each other.

Then there are the chieftains of Mubang, Mengmi, and Dashan. Although they belong to Myanmar, their control power is not strong.In particular, Mupang can be called Burma's feud.

Ethnic differences and hatred within Myanmar are also important factors that make it easy to split.The Mon people in the south, the Burmese in the north, and the Shan people have complicated conflicts, and the enmity of hundreds of years is difficult to resolve.

In other words, if its main force is defeated in Upper Burma, the foundation of the Burmese king's rule is likely to be shaken.The Mon people in the south and the Shan people in the north are likely to take the opportunity to make trouble.

In history, the Toungoo Dynasty was declared to perish because of the Mon uprising and occupation of the capital Awa.

"The crusade against Burma will get twice the result with half the effort, but we must treat the chieftains attached to Burma and the Shan people differently, so that they can become the help of our army..."

Wang Pingda got up and went to the map hanging in the big tent, pointed and introduced, "Mubang, Longchuan, Ganya, Mengyang and other places can be treated with kindness and power. Those who send troops to help the war will be lenient, and those who resist the king's teacher will be destroyed. Official analysis of other..."

Wang Sanshan stroked his beard and jaw, expressing his agreement.

After Wang Pingda finished his introduction and walked back to his seat, he let out a dry cough and emphasized again: "The main force of our army is 20 in total, and the coalition forces of various chieftains are about [-]. According to intelligence analysis, the Burmese can gather nearly [-] horses in a short period of time." .The enemy is outnumbered and our army is strong, but we should not make too many enemies."

As he spoke, Wang Sanshan glanced across the generals, very stern.

Lu Qin hurriedly clasped his hands and said: "My lord, don't worry, the last generals will never dare to spoil the overall situation of Burma by fighting for military merits and property."

Wang Sanshan nodded lightly, his tone softened a bit, and said: "I believe that you are all aware of the overall situation, but your strengths are in marching and fighting, and your weaknesses are in maneuvering and negotiating. Qianhu discussed and dispatched officials to various ministries to be responsible for dealing with native officials."

"It's the best." Lu Qin grinned and said, "We're all rough soldiers, so we really can't do this kind of wooing."

The generals also hurriedly agreed, saying that such an arrangement is the safest.

Wang Sanshan smiled, and when everyone's voices stopped, he said: "After the war begins, I will sit in Tengchong to provide food and supplies for you to ensure the supply of the front line. As for the battle, I will implement it according to the final plan, and I will not ask more questions .”

In this way, it means that there is no remote control command, and the frontline generals can adapt flexibly according to the specific situation changes on the battlefield.

As for contacting Siam to send troops, Wang Sanshan did not explain further.After all, this war has already been decided, and it will not change with or without Siam's help.

Moreover, the spying on Burma has to be strengthened, and the combat plan has to be adjusted, and it will not be finalized until it is launched.

But the overall policy will not change. Occupy territory, plunder property, and eliminate as many main forces of the Burmese army as possible, making it difficult for them to fight back in a short time.

Because the greater the loss of the Burmese army, the weaker Awa's defense will be when the troops approach the city, and the more likely the situation in Burma will change in the future.

You know, there are mostly Burmese people in Upper Burma, and the King of Burma also chose Awa as the capital.In the south, there are the Mon people, which are declining and rising. As long as the oppressed Mon people have a chance, the "Handawadi" Pegu Dynasty will inevitably make a comeback.

Therefore, it is the best choice for the Ming army to establish a victory through a decisive battle.If this goal cannot be achieved, we can only advance step by step, lengthening the front and making victory come later.
