The intelligence of Myanmar is basically the story of the two brothers-in-law of Mang Ruiti and Mang Yinglong who swept across the world and conquered the world.

And Mang Yinglong, in this story, is much more terrifying than his wife's uncle Mang Rui, wise, ruthless, decisive, limited by the environment, has not experienced excellent war education, so he always loses the battle, but the more frustrated the more courageous, the more defeated, the more fierce.

Following his wife's uncle Mang Ruiti for more than 20 years, he has been educated in the field of battle, so that he has sufficient capital to compete for hegemony.

After sweeping through Burma, Mang Ruiti indulged in red wine and Western food, alienated Buddhism, and was eventually killed, and the various parts of Myanmar also fell apart. After his death, Mang Yinglong once again invaded the region and reunited Burma.

He was a born king.

Because of this, the Burmese Xuanwei Division, which was about the same size as Banju, became the lord of the southwest that now reaches Arakan in the west and Siam in the east, unifying Upper Burma and Lower Burma, and is eager to try to compete with its suzerain, the Ming Dynasty.

After this intelligence from Portugal, Chen Mu felt much less threatening to Mang Yinglong in his heart.

Even if he broke through Meng Yang and had three Xuan and six comforts, he did not have the talent to invade the Ming Dynasty.

It's not that this country is incapable, the whole territory of Myanmar is a very powerful country, and it is not too much to even call it a hegemon, but Chen Mu simply thinks that Mang Yinglong does not have this talent.

Because of the latest information, Mang Yinglong lost another battle in the north.

He was cut off from the grain by Meng Yang Tusi Sigu, my God!

However, anyone who is familiar with the popular military script of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is difficult to be cut off from the grain route, and it is even more incredible that the army was cut off by small soldiers.

Yang Yinglong, who entered Meng Yang for the matter of cutting off the grain road, has not helped yet, although he has a strong momentum and the combat power of the Banzhou army is indeed very strong, but in fact, he and Chen Mu are the same type of generals, they both rely on soldiers to fight, and their personal ability to deploy troops is limited.

Even if the advantage of cutting off the grain is obtained, Sigu's military strength is too small, and the front and rear interception cannot be besieged, and the Ming army can't rush to help, and he and Yang Yinglong alone can't encircle the 200,000 army.

The two sides fought a few battles, each other won and lost, seeing that Teng Chongwei's Ming army was dispatched, Mang Yinglong returned to the army and withdrew, and set up a formation in the area of Rakshasa Mountain in Upper Burma, and confronted the Ming army.

This information is quite frustrating, if the Yunnan Ming army can enter Mengyang earlier, there is no need for a three-way army, and the opportunity for the Burmese army to run out of food will be able to prevent future troubles forever.

But this is not bad, it is not bad for Chen Mu.

Docked in Malacca to prepare and carry heavy loads of ordnance, food, and forage, the Ming army set sail in October for their next destination, Phuket, which was under the control of the Ayutthaya dynasty.

As early as half a month before the departure of the army, Shi Qi led a banner army of 1,000 and a thousand soldiers under his command to sail to Phuket under the guidance of the Portuguese captain, build a port wharf, and garrison grain and grass armaments for the needs of the war.

The Ayutthaya Dynasty was no longer the obedient tributary state that paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty more than 100 times, at most six times a year.

Six years ago, Mang Yinglong broke through the city of Ayutthaya, executed the king, plundered his country and then seized his subjects and returned to Baigu, leaving only more than 10,000 people in the city of Ayutthaya, and set up another puppet Mahamamaraya to indirectly rule the country.

The Ming Dynasty had no prestige in this land, but Chen Mu still had the Portuguese.

Sixty-two years ago, the Portuguese signed the first treaty with Siam, stipulating that the Portuguese could live, do business, and preach in Ayutthaya, Tanah Salin, Megui, Pattani, and Lukkun.

Since then, the Portuguese have entered Siam, which has become a haven for generations of adventurers who have not been able to influence the country's decision-making, and even now many Portuguese are employed by Mang Yinglong, but they have more than enough information.

Phuket, like the beautiful islands that can be found along the coast of this era, was inhabited by only a few hundred natives, and even the Ayutthaya dynasty could not control it for decades.

For the Ming army, as a springboard for attacking Yangon, this was the most suitable island to occupy.

"It is inevitable that the news will leak out, and I know that overseas Portuguese are not monolithic, they are employed by Mang Yinglong, and there are always people who want to be loyal, just like old Pinto you, who work hard for me."

A water village is being built on the far shore of the island, and soldiers are cutting down trees in the woodlands farther away, and bonfires are lit on the beach, and iron pots are heating the dinner of the flag army.

Chen Mu changed out of his clothes soaked from swimming on the beach, wore a thin shirt armor with his hair scattered and walked in front of old Pinto, Juniper pressed his waist knife with two handmaidens holding long guns, and led the horse in the same direction, leaving a farrier mark on the fine white sand at high tide.

"I'm not afraid that Mang Yinglong will know, I have to tell him that I am here, I want to tell you another thing."

Chen Mu walked forward, his steps paused, as if he was organizing the language, and then continued to walk forward, as if the organization language had failed.

After going back and forth twice, he finally stopped, turned to Pinto, and said, "How much does it cost to hire a Portuguese mercenary to do things for me?" ”

Pinto suspected that he had misheard, and he frowned at the eyes on the bridge of his nose, "General? ”

"I mean, if I want to hire a Portuguese mercenary army of fourteen hundred, how much?"

Hire the Portuguese army!

Pinto never thought that Chen Mu would hire the Portuguese army, what kind of joke, Chen Mu has such a unique personality, he was not employed by Chen Mu for a day or two, and he had a full understanding of this.

Not to mention hiring the Portuguese, even allowing the Portuguese to land in Guangzhou Mansion is a fool's dream, and now they actually want to hire a Portuguese army generously, and the number is standard?

Wait, fourteen hundred?

Isn't this exactly the number of Diego Merro mercenary groups under the command of Mang Yinglong?

"General, do you want to?"

Chen Mu squinted and smiled, spread his hands and said: "After all, those people are in the same country as you, I think they are too condescending to die at our hands, it is better for you, persuade them to defect, I will provide them with a job, what do you think?" ”

I think?

Pinto didn't know what to say at this moment, he suddenly understood why with Chen Mu's talkativeness, he still had to organize a long day of language, even if he didn't say this kind of cheeky words easily!

"With all due respect, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this mission, first of all, I don't know Diegomero well, and even if I do, I can't make such a request to him."

"Then it's hard to say, do you really want my banner army to kill them all? Or will they surrender when they are defeated, anyway, they will not fight for Mang Yinglong until the last moment, just like they did not fight for Dajila and Babaidian, and did not fight for Siam until the last moment. ”

The smile on Chen Mu's face gradually subsided, and said, "You have to let them know that if you fight me, when they lose, I will not accept their surrender." ”

"If they turn against me before the war starts, nothing will change, they are still in Burma, in addition to paying taxes, the houses and fields are still the same, I will not take away their wives in Burma, and if they are not willing to fight for me in the future, I will also let them go to Goa."

"You don't have to, but you can ask them for me."./14_14088/
