Chapter 644 The Influence of the Burmese Victory

Waging war abroad is usually used as the main means of passing on domestic conflicts.

Of course the emperor knew it, and he was good at using it, even though domestic conflicts were not serious, nor were they aggravated by catastrophes.

Xiyi has already started colonial plundering, mainly in Africa and America.Before they entered Asia on a large scale, the Ming Empire took the lead in occupying various important places, which not only had real benefits, but also a long-term deployment.

Moreover, with a population of 30.00% of the world, the territory of the Ming Empire is too small.

Just as the emperor planned, dividing the population of 2000 to [-] million from the country is enough to realize his layout in the South China Sea.

The land that you develop, cultivate and manage with your own hands is your own, not being "sold as piglets" and working hard for others.

The appointment of Li Dan as the governor of Luzon was only the beginning, and it was just an example set by the emperor.

In the future, no matter who can develop overseas, they will be recognized and protected by the Ming court.The post of governor will also be everywhere in Nanyang.

In the hall, only the emperor was left again. He walked to the side hall and looked at the big sand table again.

The victory in the war against Burma was known as a battle of revenge, and it was the shame of losing several consolation envoys during the Wanli period.

At the same time, it is also a deterrent to the Southwest Chieftain.Tens of thousands of troops swept across the Burmese army, with sharp and unstoppable firearms. With such a strong army, I believe that no chieftain would dare to act rashly and give birth to a rebellious heart.

After the main force withdrew to Yunnan Province, it was time to deal with Duke Mu's Mansion.The military prestige established by the war against Burma is enough to replace the prestige of Mujiashi Town in Yunnan.

As the saying goes, "A rich family lasts no more than three generations".It refers to the fact that it is difficult for a wealthy family to maintain a business. Most of them will go against their original intention after a few generations and eventually decline.

The original ruler of Muwang Mansion worked hard to govern Yunnan in an orderly manner, generous to the people, and has great prestige among the people.

However, the children of the Mu family in the middle and late stages were more arrogant and extravagant, and there were many scandals of harassing the local area and mobs amassing money.

According to Dongchang's secret investigation, after years of extortion by the Mugong Mansion, Zhuangtian accounted for one-third of the cultivated land in Yunnan at that time.

The treasures in Mu's residence are even more dazzling: "Stone blue, cinnabar, pearls, famous treasures, Luohong, amber, horseshoe, purple gold, all packed in thin raft boxes."

"Fifty catties per box, hidden in the high board warehouse. Fifty boxes per box, a total of 250 warehouses. Others call it. 140 eight-treasure yellow dragon umbrellas..."

You know, Yunnan has always been the main silver producing area in China during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.More than half of the silver production in the Ming Dynasty was in Yunnan.

In addition, Yunnan produced a large amount of copper, salt, tea, wood, stone and other high-value-added commodities and monetary metals.

Therefore, although Yunnan is located in a remote place, its miasma is daunting.But economically, it has great particularity and uniqueness.

The existence of the Mu family in Yunnan has also affected the law enforcement and governance of the local government.

Mu Tianbo's father, Mu Qiyuan, allowed his slaves to harm the common people.After the inspector Yu Yu arrested the illegal domestic slaves according to the law, he actually mobilized soldiers and horses and aimed artillery at the inspector's office.

In fact, the Mu family can also be classified as a vassal. The earliest Mu Ying was the adopted son of Taizu.The harm and disadvantages of the suzerain vassal are also clearly reflected in him.

The emperor wants to take advantage of the prestige of cutting down Burma to take away the Mugong Mansion, so as to unify the affairs and powers in Yunnan, and take back all the Zhuangtian to punish the Mu family's slaves.

Of course, it's not about ransacking the family, but moving the Mu Mansion to the capital.Anyway, there were not many people in the Mu residence, and Mu Tianbo was only 12 years old.

As for the huge amount of treasures in the Mu Mansion, anyone who is sensible would not transport them to the capital in large carts or small vehicles.The emperor will not kill them all, he will leave Mu Tianbo enough wealth for a lifetime.

As for Mu Tianbo's future achievements, or the future of Duke Mu's mansion, it depends on his own ability and ability.

This is another windfall after the war against Burma. The emperor has money in his hands and can do many things, accelerating the rise and revival of Ming Dynasty.

...................
The cold air makes people exhale thick white mist, and hoarfrost quickly forms on the temples of the hair.Sun Chuanting held up his binoculars to look around, but he didn't move.

In the distance, war horses galloped, and rows of Ming army cavalry swept across, charging in all directions, but they could still maintain a relatively neat formation.

Standing next to Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao's youthful face could already see the look of wind and frost. This is the change brought about by stationing in the Northwest for more than a year.

In the great war against slaves in Ping-Liao, Flying Cavalry made great achievements repeatedly.After experiencing the test of actual combat, the tactics are gradually perfected.

After the war, the organizational system of flying cavalry was also fixed. Each battalion had [-] mixed cavalry, [-] flying cavalry, and [-] spear cavalry.

Several small battalions of [-] flying cavalry were assigned to the northern border town to supplement the cavalry there, and began to formally garrison the border.

These flying cavalry battalions, which have experienced the test of war, have become the backbone of the towns, and they have also become seeds, helping the towns to train more flying cavalry officers and soldiers.

The emperor invested huge sums of money in the war against slaves in the Ping-Liao Dynasty, which not only achieved the short-term goal, but also gave Ming the confidence to change the long-term strategy.

The substantial increase in the strength of the troops in the border towns made the emperor no longer satisfied with defense or the front line of the Great Wall.

Recovering the Qiantao area was the first active offensive action of the Northwest Ming army, and it was of great significance.It is not only the improvement of the northern border defense system, but also the prelude to future strategic offensives.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, took it very seriously. These cavalrymen who were training were the main force to recover the Qiantao area, and they would start a bloody fight on horseback with the Mongolian tribes.

A communications soldier galloped up, got off his horse under the wooden tower, hurried up, knelt down on one knee, and presented the latest palace report from the imperial court.

Just then Sun Chuanting put down the binoculars, without wiping off the white frost on his hair, eyebrows, and temples, he reached for it and opened it to read.

Hehe, Sun Chuanting laughed lightly, turned his head and said to several generals: "A big victory in the war against Burma, and the capture of its capital, Ava. Next year's military operations should be carried out as scheduled, and there will be no changes."

All the generals put away their solemn faces one after another, and began to talk with smiles on their faces.

Military plans are established, but coherent and subject to change.

For example, in the war against Burma, if it fails or wins miserably, the military operation to regain the previous set may be postponed next year.

The reason is also very simple, money needs to be calculated and spent, not only to expand and plunder, but also to deal with major disasters.

Expansion, aggression, and plunder must also be carried out in an orderly manner, and a virtuous circle can be formed if the income exceeds the investment. Sun Chuanting and the generals all understand the emperor's mind.

"The Mongol tribes are no match for our army." Cao Bianjiao said proudly, "They are far behind Jianlu, let alone our army with a strong army?"

The generals nodded again and again, and they were quite confident.
