I'm a big dick

Chapter 567 Untitled
The distribution of loot is used to inspire the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the soldiers, and at the same time, it is also an example for the people of Ming Dynasty, so that they will have a pioneering and adventurous spirit faster.

The emperor didn't think about this policy, he thought it was very good, and it has been proven effective in history.

But for Wang Sanshan and others, it is still necessary to think carefully if they want to achieve the purpose of war well and implement the emperor's will.

Not to mention other dynasties, even in the Ming Dynasty, there were many cases where generals provoked frontier quarrels or deliberately provoked chieftains to rebel in order to gain military merit and money.

Especially in this war against Myanmar, it is an effective means to speed up the progress of the war by trying to fight back against the Burmese chieftain, or to provide food and supplies.

If the new policy of distributing spoils is so inspiring that the general situation is ignored, no matter whether it is the troops of the Ming army or the coalition chieftains participating in the war, forcing the Burmese chieftains to fight tenaciously, it is very likely to do so.

Therefore, Wang Sanshan wants to control, at least before he thinks of a good restraint method, he is not going to promulgate this new policy to the army.

And this is the genius of the emperor. He thought of the method, but rarely announced it before it was confirmed in practice.Whether it is experimentation or decentralization, it is left to the officials or generals to decide.

This is not to shirk responsibility, but to give officials a sense of trust, and it also shows that the emperor is very human.After all, imaginary policies, because of different places and different actual conditions, the disadvantages of mechanical implementation must also be considered.

Regardless of how Wang Sanshan discussed and decided with the military officers, Yunnan Province, Sichuan, Guizhou, and even Guangxi are all making preparations for the war against Burma.

Although for the sake of secrecy, the targets to be hit have not been made public.But for some middle and high-level generals and local chieftains, it is still possible to guess.

On the southwest border, who else is the enemy of the Ming Empire besides Burma?
Annan is not counted, and is in the middle of the war between South Nguyen and North Zheng; Siam has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, and the rules and habits of the empire are not for unjust teachers.

Moreover, this was the case in ancient times, limited to road transportation and communication, if a big battle was to be fought, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as mobilizing the masses.

The transfer and storage of grain and grass materials, the mobilization and training of the army, etc., cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is simply unrealistic and impossible to maintain absolute secrecy.

Although the border roads between Yunnan Province and Myanmar are closed, troops are stationed at border forts.But even the emperor and the officers below cannot guarantee that Myanmar will not get any news and will not make any preparations.

"Sichuan is training [-] troops, Yunnan Province is training [-] troops, and Guangxi is training [-] troops..." Wang Sanshan temporarily stopped the discussion on the distribution of spoils, and announced the imperial court's military expansion plan. Increase, do you know the meaning of long live?"

No one dared to answer hastily, everyone had guesses in their hearts, and was shocked by the emperor's courage, waiting quietly for Wang Sanshan to explain.

Wang Sanshan took a sip of tea, raised his head and swept past the generals, and said in a deep voice: "My Ming Dynasty has over [-] million people, and in a few decades of peace and prosperity, [-] million people will not be too many. The number of people increases, and when the output of the field is not enough to feed the population, the consequences have been clearly recorded in history..."

The contradiction of less land and more people has become the main reason for the replacement of most dynasties in history.Years of wars and a sharp decline in population are the root causes for the establishment of a new dynasty and its stability and upward trend.

The emperor naturally hoped that the Ming Dynasty could last for a long time, and he did not want to use a sharp decrease in population to resolve the conflict.In this world, the law of the jungle and the law of the jungle, no one has a deeper feeling than him.

Therefore, expansion is expansion, but it is quite different from Taizu and Chengzu.

At the same time, occupying a vast land, relocating more Ming people, diluting the population of the inland provinces, overcoming major disasters, and keeping the per capita cultivated land at a certain level are the emperor's century-old plans.

The climate is getting colder, disasters are frequent, and the income from farming is not enough, so recruit troops to expand and plunder wealth.

Wang Sanshan spoke very openly, and all the generals could understand him.

The war against Myanmar is not only a war of revenge, but also the beginning of the road to a strong and prosperous country, and it is also the way for the Ming Empire to survive the disaster and stand firm.

The land had to be dug down, and more importantly, it had to be held so that the people of the Ming Dynasty could migrate and operate reclamation.

This has raised the requirements for the army, unlike the previous Jisuo Prefecture, where a small number of people and horses are on duty to maintain the dignity of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty.

And the occupied land will become the state capital and county of the Ming Empire, a new border, and a new city. The garrison must not only have a solid defense, but also become a sharp spear for the next war expansion.

As one can imagine, to maintain stability in the newly occupied areas, repression and killings are inevitable.Moreover, the initial stage will be brutal in order to act as a deterrent.

Wang Sanshan ended today's military discussion and asked the generals to go back and digest it before putting forward ideas and suggestions tomorrow.

Some things, Wang Sanshan did not tell the generals in detail.

For example, Qin Liangyu of Sichuan was awarded the title of earl for quelling the She'an Rebellion, which also opened a precedent for the title of a woman in the Ming Dynasty.This time Sichuan soldiers were mobilized, Qin Liangyu invited Ying again, and would lead [-] stone pillar native soldiers to Yunnan to participate in the war.

There are also chieftains in Guangxi. The four families jointly dispatched [-] troops, which was also approved by the imperial court and will soon go to Yunnan.

The chieftains in Yunnan Province are even more active. The Na family, the Sha family, the Pu family, the Dao family, etc., plan to dispatch more than [-] people, and they only need the permission of the imperial court.

Not only mobilization, but also training. The fighting power of the Ming army is credible, but they don't want to let the coalition chieftains hold back.

It was such a big movement that Wang Sanshan and others also made a record to prevent the Burmese from attacking in advance, and deployed a strong army on the border.

The so-called elite army is naturally an army that has experienced the battle against the She'an rebels, and is led by outstanding generals, including Xu Sanshao and other younger generations who have graduated from martial arts and have been promoted to middle and senior officers.

There are mountains, jungles, roads, and even the smoke from distant villages in the field of vision of the telescope.

Third Young Master Xu pursed his lips and put down the binoculars.

Accompanying him was the combat staff officer, who summarized the intelligence of the recent reconnaissance and continued to report: "The Burmese are equipped with a lot of muskets, but they are all old-fashioned arquebus guns, bought from Xiyi..."

The Portuguese once entrenched in Shanlian, Myanmar, and obtained the permission of the king of Myanmar at that time, so they bought a lot of Western-style matchlock guns.

These matchlock guns are more powerful than the bird guns equipped by the Ming army before, but they are far behind the flintlock muskets of the Ming army now.

Moreover, the Burmese and the Portuguese have turned against each other, driving away the Portuguese in Shalian and cutting off the follow-up supply of weapons and equipment.

In addition, the Burmese were good at using elephant soldiers in combat, which seemed fierce, but the Ming army specially equipped many heavy muskets for this purpose, so it should be no problem to restrain elephants.
