Chapter 615 Fighting the Four Sides

Chapter 615
With new ideas and new methods of relocation, Annan's occupation and rule are more assured.

Aren't the Yue people difficult to tame and govern? If they move to other places and are filled by the population of the Ming Dynasty, when they reach a certain number, the foundation of rule and stability will be solid.

Despite the catastrophe, the emperor has the confidence to survive smoothly.The population growth will also explode earlier than in history.

Historically, it took less than 200 years for China's population to increase from [-] million to [-] million.

Now, without the great chaos in history, the catastrophe will be effectively alleviated.

With the development of the Northeast, Northwest and South, as well as overseas land, the continuous reduction of taxes, the advancement of medical technology, signs of population explosion have appeared.

It is impossible to solve the problems. The emperor has conveyed his considerations to his courtiers and asked them to formulate policies from this starting point.

Whether it is expansion or plunder, it can be summed up in one sentence: "Conquer the world and fight for a larger living space for the people of Ming Dynasty."

The national policy of the Ming Empire has changed. After the eradication of slaves and suppression of the rebellion, even a catastrophe cannot stop the rise and expansion of the empire.

The so-called peace and prosperity, in the emperor's understanding, means that there will be no civil wars, and the common people can live and work in peace and contentment.

But the country must look around with a bright sword, conquer the surrounding barbarians, defeat the Western Yi, so that the Ming's national prestige is at the top of the sky, and no one dares to violate it.

A long period of peace seems to be a good thing, but it is the most frustrating and pioneering spirit.

If there are no enemies, create enemies.Make the spirit dare not slacken, the will will not be sluggish, and the vigilance will always be there.

As an army, it is naturally the blade of the country. It must fully understand the emperor's spirit and faithfully implement the emperor's will.

And as soldiers, war is what they want.This means more promotion opportunities and more military rewards.

Xiong Tingbi, as Minister of the Ministry of War, is the direct executor of the emperor's will.Regardless of whether it is the northeast or the southwest, various war plans have been formulated and are being implemented one by one.

"Mekong Province can mobilize tens of thousands of horses, plus the navy, Nanruan is no longer something to fear." Xiong Tingbi made a judgment, moved his eyes to the position of Myanmar, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The fact that Myanmar was able to cannibalize Ming's consolation envoys and gain an advantage in the war with Ming was not because of its strength, but because the Ming Dynasty could not afford it.

But now it is not the time of Shenzong, there is no Japanese rebellion, there is no war in Liaodong and the north, and the Ming Dynasty's finances have almost successfully transformed. Relying on industrial and commercial taxation is enough to support the investment in expanding the territory.

Moreover, based on the principle of fighting to support war, plundering land and wealth is the main purpose, which will greatly reduce the initial cost.When a large amount is seized, it can be predicted that it will be a profitable transaction in which the output exceeds the input.

"My lord, do you need to revise Governor Wang's new battle plan?" The staff stretched out their bamboo whips and tapped three places on the sand table, namely Tiebi Pass, Tianma Pass and Hanlong Pass.

These three places were originally planned to enter the pass, and marched in three directions to capture Mengyang, Mengmi and Mubang.

Although the three roads are concurrent, the main force is the one who leaves Hanlong Pass. After capturing Mupang, they can go down along the Awa River and directly take Awa, the capital of Burma.

Wang Sanshan's revised plan is to attack from two directions, stationing troops at Tiebi Pass to guard against Meng Yang in the west.Because Meng Yang used to be the Xuanwei envoy of the Ming Dynasty, although he was attached to Burma, he might not fight to the death for it.

The Ming troops who entered Burma from Tianma Pass and Hanlong Pass were not far apart and could support each other.In the process of going south, he was steady and steady, looking for opportunities to fight with the main force of the Burmese army, and defeated them in one fell swoop.

It is enough to keep [-] Ming troops in Tiebiguan, and the two attacking Ming troops each have [-], and Wang Sanshan led [-] as a reserve team.

Coupled with the chieftains who sent troops to assist in the battle, an army of nearly [-], and sharp weapons and equipment, victory is very sure.

After the autumn harvest, the envoys of propaganda and comfort along the way, as well as the Burmese villages, had food in stock, and the Ming army ate food everywhere, and there was almost no worry about running out of food.

Xiong Tingbi felt that the new plan was very safe. Although the action was slower, it reduced the possibility of accidents.

The backbone of the Ming army who conquered Burma was all elite soldiers and strong generals who had gone through the eradication of the She'an Rebellion, and they were quite experienced in fighting in the mountains and jungles.

Even the recruits have undergone rigorous training for a long time, and their combat power is stronger than that of the Burmese soldiers.

Glancing at the staff member with a half-smile, Xiong Tingbi asked, "Then how do you modify it in your opinion?"

The staff pointed with a bamboo whip and said, "Advance from the two fronts side by side, change to a rapid advance on the right side, to attract the main force of the Burmese army to fight. Then outflank the left side and gather and annihilate the Burmese army."

Xiong Tingbi nodded and said, "This plan is very good. It can be used as a suggestion and passed on to the frontline generals."

After a pause, Xiong Tingbi added: "The Burmese army may not take the initiative to fight, but the Yiava River defense line is more likely to fight our army under the city."

After the invasion of Burma, the initial resistance would not be fierce. Places like Mengyang, Mengding, and Mubang used to be Ming's consolation envoys, and they would not fight with all their might.

Like the Ming Dynasty, Myanmar also granted considerable autonomy to these chieftains, but only sent some Burmese officials to maintain the rule.

As for reforming the native land, it was a measure taken by Yong Jiya, the founder of the Gongbang Dynasty in Myanmar, a hundred years later.

It is only an expedient measure for the emperor to put the three propagandas and six comforts under the management of the Ming Empire.This kind of rule of restraint can no longer guarantee long-term stability, but it cannot be changed immediately.

Therefore, the temporary management method for the occupied areas is to co-exist with the prefectures and counties, and then set up native official schools so that the descendants of the chieftains can study in the schools, while the imperial court controls the right to appoint and dismiss.If the grades are not up to standard, they are not allowed to inherit.

After a period of buffering, the implementation of the half-soil, half-study, and soil-study combined governance, the arrangement of court officials into the Xuanwei envoys, and the separation of powers from the chieftains.

In the end, when the time is right, it is time to change the land and return to the old.There may be rebellions, and there may be bloody events, but this is the progress of society, and the wheel of history cannot be stopped.

Xiong Tingbi discussed with his staff for a while before concluding the meeting.Xiong Tingbi returned to his office to think for a while, and then took up a pen to write a memorial to the emperor.

The battles were fought one after another, and the emperor's ambitions were fully revealed.In the south is the annexation of Champa and the crusade against Burma; in the northwest is the recovery of Qiantao, and is currently accumulating grass and grain, training the army, and will launch it in the spring of next year.

As for the steady progress in the Northeast, as far as the current situation is concerned, no major war will break out.The emperor meant that he was not in a hurry, and he pushed the bayonet firmly to the chest of Jiannu's remnant.

The weather caused by the catastrophe is getting colder and colder. There are cold-resistant or early-maturing crops such as rye, potatoes, and corn in the Ming Dynasty. What are the remnants of slavery? Fishing and hunting alone cannot support so many people.

Use the power of nature to starve some of them to death first.The longer it drags on, the harder life will be for the remnants of Jiannu, and the more their strength will be depleted.

Maybe there will be civil strife, or maybe they will flee to the north and accept severe beatings in a colder environment; the greater possibility is to surrender, so that the Ming army can win without a fight.
