From the very beginning of this war, victory or defeat was already predestined.

Almost irreversible.

This small country faces a big country, not to mention whether it can win or not, the key is that they can't afford it.

And the reason why this war has been fought for decades is not how well Dongwu fought, but because the Ming Dynasty is a mess inside, on the matter, in terms of management, Da Ming is really not very good, and has done a lot of stupid things, Da Ming implemented a fetter system over there, there is a contradiction in this, that is, the local big Tusi, Da Ming does not want the local big Tusi to be too strong.

Therefore, when there is a contradiction between those who return to the Ming Dynasty, the local officials not only do not stop and mediate, but also often fan the flames, they are happy to see the internal friction of these Tusi, the Tusi is weak, and the government controls, which appears as long as there is no war with Dongwu, the local Tusi will attack each other, resulting in very serious internal friction, and when Dongwu fights, the local military force has been unable to resist, so it can only transfer troops from the Central Plains.

This is a taboo for soldiers.

There are eighteen bends in the mountain road, and if you want to transfer troops and grain from the Central Plains, there must be huge losses, and it is really ten times the consumption in Hedong Wuda, and it also affects the people in Yunnan.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty was very entangled, if it was fought, there was no money, if it was not fought, the whole of Yunnan would become precarious, and for a long time the Ming Dynasty was more appeased, as long as they were not aggressive, they could endure it.

But even so, as long as the Ming Dynasty is resolute, even without Guo Dan, it is impossible to lose.

Can't lose!

Not to mention this war, which is completely dominated by capital.

How many troops to send to the battle, but after calculation, the local grain can meet the needs of this army to fight, and not to levy grain, but to spend money to buy, pure market operation, the people of Yunnan instead benefit, but also have a firearms bonus, Li Rusong to take a defensive counterattack, in the early stage of the war, take advantage of firearms, with a small number of troops and the opponent's main force to maneuver.

One blow and then three stops and declines.

The main force of Dongwu attacked several times, but they were all defeated, and their elite elephants were directly bombarded by artillery and withdrew from the war stage.

After consuming the elite division of Dongwu, Li Rusong began to counterattack, but it was also a step-by-step battalion, attacking for more than a year, it was a succession of battles, and the opponent attacked the fortress of the Ming army, basically despairing, attacking on a narrow terrain.

On the other hand, when the Ming army began to attack the fortress, a round of artillery fired, and many wooden fortresses were directly gone, but even so, the Ming army also recovered Mengyang, Mengmi, and Mubang, and only piled up the battle line a little forward, and if you want to fight, don't fight at my house.

This battlefield is completely dominated by Guo Dan, and Wanli did not say that Wang Xijue will decide.

Wang Xijue didn't know the situation at all, because this war had no sense of existence in the court at all, and the ministers didn't talk about it.

The reason is that because the fetters system cooperates with the local government, it is not well managed at all, otherwise it will not fight for decades, and can only use commercial means to control the local area, and in this war, the imperial court did not pay for it.

Whether it should continue or not depends entirely on Guo Dan's attitude.

Since the turmoil in Jiangxi is coming to an end, this battlefield is rather cumbersome, and it is impossible to continue, so it depends on how to end it.

This is also the purpose of Yang Feixu's trip, if she just told Guo Dan, she was afraid that she would not come in person.

"Now that our army has completely occupied Mengyang, Mengmi, and Mubang, and at the same time, the three major forces of Dongwu, Awa, and Chiang Mai have declared independence, and Shen Weijing is a great meritorious, and it is he who has lobbied everywhere to accelerate the independence of these places, and expressed his willingness to trade with me in the future."

Yang Feixu stood in front of the map and said to Guo Dan.

Guo smiled lightly: "Shen Weijing, this old man is really interesting, he is a talent." ”

"Not only that." Yang Feixu pointed to two places on the map and said: "The forces of Siam (Thailand) and Arakan (the southwest coast of Burma) have successively sent troops to attack Mangyingli. ”

Guo Dan was surprised: "What are these two families doing here?" ”

Yang Feixu said: "This has a lot to do with you. ”

Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Does it have anything to do with me?" I don't have any contact with them. ”

Yang Feixu said: "You bought a lot of grain in Siam, and at the same time sold a lot of materials to them, which promoted the prosperity of local commerce and greatly increased the strength, and Siam was conquered by Dong Wu, and now the Siamese leader Na Li Xuan saw the great victory of our army, so he took advantage of the situation.

As for Arakan, it is also because you bought a lot of grain over there, causing the Franji people to look around for food sources, and Siam has direct contacts with my Daming, and their leaders do not hesitate to cede the port to the Fengchi Group, eager to trade with the Ming, and it is difficult for the Franji people to gain a firm foothold in the local area, so they set their sights on the Arakan region, which is rich in grain and has an important port, hoping to control the grain export of the entire Dongwu.

It was precisely because of the help of the Franji people that the strength of the Arakan increased greatly, and they tried to replace Mang Yingli and become the overlord of this generation. ”

Guo Dan scratched his head and said, "Speaking of which, it really has something to do with me." ”

In fact, it was the Portuguese who cooperated with Arakan, because the Spaniards were in Luzon and had fields for them to operate, and they were already engaged in grain trading, but the Portuguese were in Macao, and Macao did not have any land, so they were in a hurry, and now that the Ming Dynasty wanted grain, they had to find grain everywhere.

Aunt Xu smiled: "I didn't expect this situation to be so complicated. ”

"And that's not all."

Yang Feixu continued: "Since Dongwu has slaughtered local people in Mengyang, Mengmi, Mubang and other places, now they all demand to march to Baigu, the capital of Dongwu, but Shen Weijing thinks that if he succeeds in marching again, it may cause panic among all the local forces, unless our army tries to completely occupy the entire Dongwu area." ”

"There's no need!"

Guo Dan hurriedly shook his head and said: "I only need Mengyang, Mengmi, and Mubang, which are rich in all kinds of ores, and agriculture is also very developed, as long as it is well managed, the economy will soon recover, and in other places, the cost of occupation is too high, and it is not cost-effective at all, so I don't want to send it to me." ”

Yang Feixu said: "If our army does not march again, then according to the current situation, it is very likely that Arakan will defeat Mangyingli, after all, Mangyingli is currently embattled and is no longer able to compete with Arakan and Siam." ”

"Therefore we must keep the cave." Guo smiled lightly.

"Huh?"

Yang Feixu and Aunt Xu looked at Guo Dan at the same time.

Guo Dan pointed to the area where Arakan is located and said: "This area of Arakan is too important, if we can't control this area, it is very likely that the war will return, besides, I must not allow the Franco forces to control the area." ”

Aunt Xu was curious: "Why?" ”

Guo Dan pointed to the border between the two places, "If the trade between the two sides is all concentrated in Mengyang, Mubang and other places, then it will cause the population to be concentrated on the border of the two places, which is very dangerous, because once we have any negligence, the local forces may instantly obtain a large number of people and form a strong army, once a full-scale war breaks out, the loss is immeasurable."

But if we can move some of their population to the coastline through trade, away from the border between the two places, the pressure on the region will be much less, and the balance of power will be lost, and we can easily control the economy of the region north of Dong U through trade.

And in the future, our focus will also shift to overseas trade, and we will be able to control their coastlines through overseas trade, so that we can divide and conquer them. Also, if you look at the geographical location of Arakan, it's right in the middle of Bengal and Tonu, and if we can control it, we can penetrate into Bengal.

Then again, there is no room for others to sleep soundly on the edge of this couch, and the Frangi can only do business here, but they cannot establish any armed forces in the local area. ”

As he spoke, he drew a circle with his hand and encircled the entire map inside, "This must be my master." ”

Yang Feixu listened with a puzzled look on his face and said: "Now we are fighting against Dongwu, and it is we who cause the local forces to rebel against Mangyingli's rule, and Arakan is one of the forces, but what you mean now is to help Dongwu deal with Arakan, if this order is transmitted to the front line, Li Rusong may go crazy." ”

She really can't understand that we provoked everyone to rebel against Dong Wu, but this is just the beginning, you have to help Dong Wu deal with Arakan, this is not a blind operation.

"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but I'm certainly not crazy."

Guo smiled lightly: "I am a businessman, I can operate how it is profitable, I didn't expect that the Francois would intervene at the beginning, and these people's eyes are quite vicious, and they actually aimed at this key area at a glance." You immediately sent an order to Li Rusong to let our army retreat to the territory of Mengyang, Mengmi, and Mubang, so as to show the sincerity of our Ming Dynasty to the local forces, we only want to recover our territory, and then trade with them, and have no intention of coveting their land.

But at the same time, they were also told that if anyone dared to invade our Ming Dynasty again, our army would raze their villages to the ground. Doesn't it mean that the people of Meng Mi and Mubang want to vent their hatred, then let Li Rusong choose an area where he had committed serious crimes in Mengmi, Mubang and other places before he retreated, and then raze it to the ground, so as to kill chickens and monkeys.

When our army retreats, we can let Mang Yingli breathe a sigh of relief, he can concentrate his forces to resist the invasion of Arakan, but Mang Yingli must also die, we must let the locals know that if anyone dares to oppose our Ming in the future, he will not live long.

During this period, we have to hurry up to find a person who is close to the Ming Dynasty to replace Mang Yingli, and when Mang Yingli and Arakan are both defeated, we will send him back to the west. Next, the Ming army withdrew from the battlefield and ended the war with Dongwu, and the aftermath was handed over to Jinyiwei to deal with. ”

Jin Yiwei?

Yang Feixu's eyes lit up, and it sounded a little interesting.

At present, she is the commander, and most of the Jinyi guards in the southern region are under his control, and she is also the most elite Jinyi guard in the Ming Dynasty at present.

Guo Dan glanced at her, and said: "Now that you are a commander, you want to be in charge of the overall situation in the rear, it is best to stay by my side, give me advice, and get words from the front, I will hand over this task to Shen Weijing." ”

Yang Feixu said: "But Shen Weijing is not Jinyiwei, how does he lead Jinyiwei." ”

Guo smiled lightly: "Only if everyone is a Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei can play a role, if you stick to the embroidered spring knife, Jinyiwei will never be able to develop." ”

Aunt Xu smiled and nodded, "That makes sense." ”
