Chapter 446: Good News Comes
According to the Burmese history books, the founder of the Bagan Dynasty in Burma, known as the three major national heroes in Burmese history along with Mang Yinglong and Anophaya, and known as the Ashoka of Myanmar, Anuradha promoted the religious war in order to promote Theravada Buddhism after his accession to the throne......
In order to seize the Buddha's tooth, Anuradha raised the nation's troops and divided the water into 6 two ways to crusade against the Daoless Heavenly Empire. This war was born at the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms or the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, for the sake of the Buddha's tooth, I collected 80 million troops in Burma to crusade against the Wudao Celestial Empire. Among them, there are 8o thousand warships and 8ooo troops in 6 water, and there are two armies in 6 roads, each with 36 oo thousand. (8ooo 10,000 people?) Nyima's, today's Myanmar may not be able to mobilize 8ooo million people of working age to fight, right? And 8o million boats? )
Then the Celestial Empire's Udibois (King of Nanzhao) sent an army of 260,000 to meet the battle, and after three months of fierce fighting, the Chinese side suffered heavy losses, 100,000 people were captured and 200,000 were annihilated. However, the Chinese army continued to flow, and in the end, the Burmese army could not support it, so it had to choose to move in.
Then the Chinese Udibois was defending the city, and Anuradha himself led four generals to the temple outside the city on a sacred horse, only to see the national teacher of Udibois living in the temple with 100,000 guards. (How big is this temple where this national teacher lives with people?) Did you live in a building like the Olympic Sports Center? A temple can accommodate 100,000 people, and it is really boundless Buddhism! )
On this day, a group of people who cut grass and fed horses came to the vicinity of the Burmese military camp to watch, and they actually surrounded the 72 million military camps. (Huh?) Is there a virus on the author's computer? A few lawnmowers were able to surround a barracks of 720,000 people? )
But. Although there were many people and horses, it was difficult to resist the Chinese's crowd tactics, and Anuryuta could only sit on the Nine Treasures Golden Raft to lead the people and horses south to the Bosheng of the Mon Kingdom. Two of his generals, Ananda Bisi and Yangda Bisi, retreated to the eastern part of the Mahler Wai Mountains to resist after the defeat of the Ecang army. The two generals took the elixir in their mouths, jumped into the air, and fought at a height of 15 or 16 cubits above the ground. Ananda Bisi fell to his death due to an arrow shot by the gods in battle.
However, due to the large number of Chinese, it is difficult for the Burmese army to fight the enemy's sea tactics even if it has immortal skills. Then forced to retreat. The squadron was in hot pursuit. The generals had no choice but to restrain their subordinates to retreat and retreat to the capital city of Bagan first, and now the king and the people of the whole city have already transferred the strategy and tactics of luring the enemy to penetrate into the Bosheng of the Mon Kingdom. The squadron chased closely all the way to the right of Germany.
(Smack!) Someone threw a brick in front of the author's eyes. "We will tolerate making up nonsense on weekdays. No harem and no rioters are not cool texts. If we didn't let Huang Taiji keep coming forward to die, we wouldn't say anything. Now that you're obviously writing history, you're actually playing with the fantasy of cultivating immortals! One will be 8ooo million troops, and the other will be the elixir. 6 of the ground soaring. Is it going to be raised soon, and the day is rising? ”)
("This is not intentional nonsense, these things are from the 19th century Burmese Gongbang Dynasty official history book "The History of the Great King of Liuli Palace", those who are interested can find it and read it as a Journey to the West or a list of gods!) ”)
Hearing Li Peilin finish talking about this very ridiculous thing in a serious manner, Wang Dehua couldn't help but be stunned and gradually became a smile on his face, and then he couldn't control it, and took the lead in laughing. When he laughed, the little eunuchs around him who had already endured the pain also laughed.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li! I can't imagine that you are such a strict person and so witty, oops! You've killed our family! Our belly! Oops! ”
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Shouhan couldn't help but smile. Isn't the person who wrote this book also the author who came from time in time? If not, it's a pity that such a talented person doesn't go to the starting point! In this kind of text, there are many factors such as cool texts, overhead, fantasy, etc., and it is difficult not to be popular!
I originally thought that the sticks in the Northeast were good at masturbation, but I didn't think that the bread of Southeast Asia was also good at it.
This is much higher than the magic arrows and rifles of the Northeast stick to shoot down the F86 plane of the US imperialism with one bullet! Not only has it jumped over the threshold of quantity, but it has reached a height that no one has believed in before, and the two sides have invested hundreds of millions of troops to fight! What World War I and World War II are not enough to be qualified to lift shoes! And also crossed the technical limit, the generals took the elixir in their mouths, and flew to a height of 16 cubits to fight, is this Nima Journey to the West or the god list? Moreover, the time is more than 1,000 years earlier than the stick!
"Perhaps this is the extreme arrogance of a weak nation in the face of a strong civilization, which is born of an extreme sense of inferiority?" Shouhan tried to find a plausible explanation for the behavior of these people from a psychological point of view.
"Uncle, Mr. Li, is the history book of this group of barbarians wrongly written, an extra 10,000 words!" Wang Dehua, who was rubbed on his belly by a few little eunuchs and eased his complexion a little, also pretended to be serious and ridiculed this masterpiece.
The guests and hosts fought for a while, Wang Dehua sensed that the people of the Nanyue Army had something to discuss, so he got up and said goodbye very interestingly.
"My lord! It seems that our westward expedition is also crooked! Huang Wuqi from the camp office held a pile of case files, looked at the backs of Wang Dehua and others and sneered.
Originally, the purpose was to acquire the natural resources of Burma, and to include the rich areas of the plains on both sides of the Irrawaddy River, if not to establish prefectures, at least to turn them into markets and sources of raw materials. For the cotton produced in the arid areas of the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River, the timber produced in the mountains and forests, especially the fine teak, as well as those jade, precious stones, jute and other things, the Southern Yue army has been coveting for many years.
With cotton you can spin more yarn and weave cloth, with wood you can build more boats, and as for those things such as jade and gemstones, you can exchange them for more gold and silver.
"Deng Xianda's Seventh Garrison Brigade has taken control of Yangon a few days ago, and has begun to gather people outside the city. Build fortifications and prepare to meet the men and horses of the Mangying family who have arrived from Mandalay. Huang Wuqi began to sketch the current situation of the enemy on the map.
"My lord, why don't we go directly to capture Mandalay, and force her to sign an alliance with our army under the city, just like the king of Siam Ayutthaya back then?" Huang Xin was a little puzzled by the mystery.
"My Lord Huang, look, what does this look like?" Li Peilin took a brush, dipped some cinnabar and smeared a little on the sketch drawn by Huang Wuqi that marked the towns of Yangon and Salem.
"Like two eggs like a man?"
Li Peilin's words were a little rough, but they were very pertinent.
"I just wanted to say, it's a pity that there are a group of eggless geldings. Sorry to export. Facing the egg in front of the person who has no eggs, isn't this a slap in the face! Huang Wuqi also had a wicked smile on his face.
"We have grabbed the two eggs of the Mang Ying family in Myanmar, can they fight without killing them? His soldiers and horses came from thousands of miles away, and they happened to be slaughtered by our army with the help of the fortifications that had been built. It's good to come out of the evil spirit of Jiajing and Wanli years! ”
The towns of Yangon and Saliem are separated by the Yangon River. From these two cities spread outward along the Yangon River. It is the richest and most important area of the Irrawaddy River Delta in Myanmar. The Yangon River is called the River. It is actually an estuary bay. It is located between the Ayeyarwady River and the Sitang River, and is formed by the confluence of the Bago River and the Mimaga River, which originate in the eastern and western foothills of the Bago Mountains, near Yangon, and has since been called the Yangon River.
And the Irrawaddy River. It is not an exaggeration to call it the mother river and artery of Myanmar.
After the seedlings burst out of the mountain valleys, the roaring and irritable river flows along the wide, open channel through the central arid zone, where large areas are made up of alluvial plains, and the temper suddenly becomes much milder. The river bends abruptly west from Mandalay, then bends southwest to join the Jintun River, and continues to flow in a southwesterly direction. The meandering river cuts through the densely populated arid terrain to Ringanqiang (a place name that everyone is familiar with) and continues to flow southward.
Along the Irrawaddy River, a central longitudinal valley is formed, and the valley area accounts for 1/3 of the country's area. The delta area, which is formed by a large amount of sediment at the mouth of the sea, is the most densely populated and richest area in the country. It is the first center of rice in Myanmar and enjoys the reputation of "Myanmar's barn", ninety percent of Myanmar's grain fields are suitable for rice cultivation, and half of the rice planting area is in the Irrawaddy River Delta region. Yangon's location and surrounding areas account for the majority of this half of the rice cultivation area. Not only is the area large, but the yield per mu here is nearly 10% higher than that of other parts of Myanmar, and some areas have even reached a gap of nearly double the average yield per mu.
Here are the well-deserved rice bags and money bags of the Myanmar Mang Ying family.
More importantly, the river is also a major artery from north to south of Myanmar, transporting rice from Myanmar to and fro along this waterway. Other crops, such as sesame, cotton and a variety of local products, are also transported through the Ayeyarwady River. Most of the precious jade, amber and gemstones produced in northern Myanmar and the agricultural products of central Myanmar are transported to various parts of Myanmar through the Guò Irrawaddy River and its tributaries.
What's more, the mountainous areas along the Ayeyarwady River and its tributaries are densely forested and diverse, among which teak is the most valuable. (Myanmar is the world's main exporter of teak, known as the "teak country") these fine teak is a high-quality material for shipbuilding, bridgemaking, furniture making, and is also a source of income for the toasts along the way to exchange gold and silver for their own squandering consumption. The felled teak is transported by elephants to a nearby river, where it is rafted down the river during the rainy season to Yangon, where it is sold to traders from all over the world. Chinese merchants who used to have good brains bought teak wood to build boats here, loaded it with rice and shipped it to Guangzhou for sale, and after the rice was sold, they dismantled the ships and sold the timber.
Money bags, rice bags, and arteries, the Nanyue military controlled here, and they absolutely occupied the initiative.
"Deng Xianda's one brigade is not enough, so the two garrison brigades that are currently in Shalian are also transferred, and Shalian can leave the mixed fifth brigade to guard there. Remember, the sailor must firmly block the Yangon River and the Irrawaddy River for me! The wood, the cotton, the jadeite, the gemstones, etc., Benber laughed at it. ”
Everyone listened to Shouhan's ridicule, and they all had a smile on their faces.
"My lord. If the angel doesn't come, we won't have any excuse to crusade against the king of Burma, just fight. But now that our Emperor has sent this prince, we have to find a reason to proclaim it. Li Peilin is not worried about the outcome of this war, he is concerned about how to explain to the emperor and how to clean up the mess outside the war.
"Lord Changshi, my lord, I have a little shallow opinion below, and I am willing to say it and ask you for advice." An Tianhong kept coughing, and spit out his opinions with difficulty.
"The king of Burma has three major sins. One is the monopoly of trade. oppressed the people and did many unrighteous acts. This is one of them, and the second is that he has not paid tribute for a long time, has no courtesy, and has repeatedly violated the territory of the Celestial Empire. The third is to condone pirates. Raiding caravans. Against the management of the South China Sea, I don't know what the lord thinks? ”
I could hear the head of his own rite tell about several crimes compiled for the Mang Ying family in Myanmar. Shouhan really has the feeling of wanting to cry without tears, and sure enough, the power and government are all proper virtues! What's the difference between this and saying that you have a big killing weapon like bricks in your house, and I'm going to take someone to search your house?
"Lord An's words. That's a good point, and it's very good to save face for our emperor. However, what he wants is face, what we want is the lining, everyone still has to discuss, how should this fight end in the end? ”
Shouhan's words set the tone for this meeting.
"My lord, if we can't destroy Burma like we destroyed Champa and the Zheng family and the Mo family, how about doing it again according to the treaty signed with Siam that day? Let him cede the land and pay reparations, and open a port for trade? ”
"It's easy to overcome, it's hard to occupy. What's more, Myanmar, a powerful country that claims to be able to mobilize 80 million troops? Don't forget, he once defeated Siam, Nanzhang and other countries to the death. Therefore, don't want to eat it in one bite, it is better to simmer it slowly. ”
At that moment, the civil officials who defended the Han Dynasty began to use their previous experience to learn how to cut them with knives, how to digest, how to enslave and squeeze the occupied land and people.
Oh, it's wrong, it's how to make the people in these backward areas feel the advanced civilization, so that the resources of their areas can be fully utilized and developed.
These things are naturally not done by Lao Shouhan himself, and a group of guys who are good at this will naturally do things well.
However, no matter how good a diplomat is, he must have the strength to rely on him.
Everyone's eyes were on the Western Expeditionary Army at this time, concerned about the news coming from the west.
Finally, on the fifth day of the arrival of Wang Dehua and others in Hue, an astonishing news came from the west.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, it is already a sacrifice to the king of the stove, and every household is preparing for the New Year. After many years of exhibition, the people in Hue River Jing and other places, no matter what nationality they originally belonged to and who they were, have become accustomed to the most important festival of the Chinese New Year, and many people have changed their Chinese names and pasted red Spring Festival couplets in front of their doors.
In the palace, Shouhan is having a good time with Wang Dehua, listening to him talk about the various rules in the palace, so as to set an example for the people in Ning Yuanbo's mansion.
Wang Dehua foamed at the mouth of the two sisters, Yan Mei'er, Li Muhua, Xiuzhu, Ao Lei Yilan, and Meishan Shilin, who either had the imperial court's decree or Ning Yuanbo's own wives and concubines who were included in the room, told them how to celebrate the New Year in the palace, how to worship their ancestors, worship the heavens and other things. Hearing Li Muhua's eyes glow, there was no doubt that Wang Dehua's narration reminded her of the scene in the palace of the Li Dynasty.
Ever since she learned that Wang Dehua came this time to give a holy order, and asked Ning Yuanbofu to report the name and resume of the prince, she kept an eye on Shouhan for a moment, lest she not take care of it at a glance, and Shouhan changed her mind.
In this way, she hurt Shouhan. Li Muhua followed for a moment, and the purpose of several other adult ladies with children was also clear, so if you can stick to your father-in-law, we can naturally do too.
Several wives and concubines gathered around Shouhan as if they had made an appointment, under the banner that the New Year was approaching, there were not many things, and the whole family was happy. Even Ao Lei Yilan, who had reached her due date, saw that everyone was gathered around Xianggong, and she was not to be outdone and followed closely, which made Shouhan a little miserable.
Wang Dehua's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and several ladies and a group of women behind him listened with interest, but Shouhan was quite boring, and he was listening to it drowsily. Suddenly, a commotion rang out from the city, and as the sound spread, the noise became louder and louder, but in a hurry it was impossible to hear what was being shouted.
"Go! Check it out! ”
Shouhan motioned to a few guards standing at the door, and Wang Dehua also quietly handed the little eunuch a look, signaling him to go out to see what was going on in the city.
After a while, a guard's face was flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly ran back from the door.
"My lord! Great victory! The third prince sent someone to report the victory! ”
Hearing that Li Huaxuan, the third son of Xu Huanshan, who led the left flank fleet and many people to conquer Ge Ra together, sent people back to report the victory, everyone couldn't help but change color.
Shouhan lifted the thin blanket on his lap and jumped up from the rocking chair, while Hua Xuan's biological mother and aunt Mei Shan sisters couldn't help but have tears in their eyes, while Yan Mei'er asked the guard before everyone else, "How is the third young master's health, have you ever been injured or sick?" ”
However, the expressions on the faces of Li Muhua and Wang Dehua changed uncertainly, but they were fleeting, and they immediately threw themselves into the celebration of this great victory. (To be continued......)
