In fact, in October of the second year of Wanli, Chen Mu's fleet did not encounter the slightest obstacle when it landed in Yangon.

In the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Dagong, also called Daguang, and the Sanskrit meaning was Sangang Village, which was named after the ancient rumors that there were three hills here.

Even today, Yangon is only a small town, thanks to the local pagoda called Shwe Daguang, in later generations this pagoda standing on the highest hill in Yangon was increased to 30 zhang high, but now it is obviously not that height, it seems to be not worthy of the name.

"Rui Daguang Pagoda, Rui means gold in Burmese, Daguang is the name of the place, so its name is...... Urn? ”

Chen Mu pursed his lips and folded his hands under the tower, and bowed reverently, if it weren't for the fierce and vicious banner army behind him stabbing forward with spears and guns, stopping the unarmed local people guarding the pagoda, this should have been a very friendly Buddhist interaction.

As he bowed, the hostility of the surrounding Yangon people also faded slightly, and Lao Pinto pouted and stood behind Chen Mu, looking at his employer pretending to worship the Buddha, and listening to this guy muttering in a low voice: "I heard that there are eight hairs of the Buddha hidden in this tower, and you see that the gold outside here is worshiped by the worshipping people, and there is a jade Buddha statue." ”

Compared with the hostility of the local people, the monks are quite friendly, and the monks in Myanmar also have land, temples, and monks, but their power is much greater than that of the monks of the Ming Dynasty.

After the vanguard of the Daming Sect's army of 3,400 people came out of the sheath, patrolled the town with bullets, and two Chihai-class Liujia ships sailed into the mouth of the Dajinsha River, after a friendly negotiation between the two sides, Chen Mu made a promise not to seize the temple property and not to kill the common monks.

This is really the Ming Ming, the Ming Ming.

In late October, Chen Mujun built a water village and a military village at the southern estuary of the Taijinsha River, hoarded grain and grass, and sent scouts to the north of Lower Burma.

Subsequently, more than 8,000 clan banner troops arrived in Hong Kong one after another in the middle of the decade, the warships sailed into the water village in the river, and the first Muzha camp of the Nanyang Army in Burma was also built, which was located along the tributary of the Dajinsha River in the north of Yangon.

"Brother Mu, didn't you see it, those monks are so rich, the people are not clothed, and they also take the food from home to the temple to send it, oops."

This kind of presumptuous voice usually does not appear in the Yamen of the Bali Battalion, and it is not soft-spoken when others speak, unless it is the reckless insect who commands Shao Tingda to come.

Chen Mu was staring at Pinto, Juniper and several soldiers who had graduated from the martial arts hall to summarize the map of the river and along the route that the scouts had returned, and before he saw a figure, he heard the mantrag breaking the gong's throat, and then saw the mangworm holding a copper-edged iron hat helmet and wearing a military armor and walking into the yamen with the sweat on his head.

The same thing in the back is still following his raised child sick seedlings, not to mention, although they are adopted children, the two are very similar in shape, and even after eating well in recent years, the sick seedlings are as strong as a little tiger, and have given birth to a small general's belly, and the belts of the two breastplates are specially ordered by the Ordnance Bureau.

Now the adopted son of the mangworm is the captain of his family, and the five hundred swords and axes of Nanshan are chasing, and they have surpassed the twelve ears and are very brave.

It's just that every time this kid sees Chen Mu, it's like a mouse seeing a cat, he lowers his eyebrows and doesn't dare to speak, he is not so afraid of Shao Tingda, which makes Chen Dashuai, who prides himself on being kind, very displeased.

When Chen Mu saw the reckless insect coming back, he told Juniper and Pinto: "You two will compare the map with the map of the Portuguese." ”

"Just in time you're here." After Chen Mu explained the map, he turned his head and asked Shao Tingda to sit down, and the little sick Yang'er lowered his head behind him as if he was looking for where to hide, and Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed out, and taunted: "You are so big, you can't hide it when the chair is low." ”

Laughing, Chen Mucai said: "I'll talk to your father, I know that you are uncomfortable seeing Lao Tzu, go out and stand up." ”

If you want to change others, you may not be happy, but the sick Yang'er seems to have received an amnesty, and she hugged her fist and asked angrily: "Thank you for being handsome!" ”

I was so happy that I went out.

"Inquire about it, this land is suitable for growing rice, right?" Chen Mu raised his hand and pushed the freshly chilled grapefruit tea on the table to Shao Tingda, and said: "Myanmar is a good place, there are a lot of teak, it is an excellent material for ships, and the river is developed and conducive to transportation, but there are few local people, and they are all snatched to the north by Mang Yinglong." ”

"In the future, this and Annan will be the granary of the southwest of the Ming Dynasty."

Shao Tingda was not polite to Chen Mu, picked up the tea bowl and drank it, and sighed: "This pomelo is ugly, but it's quite sweet, oops, it can make me hot." ”

"Brother Mu, do you know how interesting it is for me to inquire? Agriculture is flourishing here, and further north to Upper Burma, which is the most prosperous place for agriculture, which is Baigu of Mangyinglong. Shao Tingda didn't know what funny things he found, and he said with a smile on his face that couldn't fade, and said: "I heard that there is a weir and canal in the north of Baigu, called Dingdui, and they say that it was built by the Chinese. ”

"It is said that in the fourth year of Dade, the Yuan army sent local troops in Yunnan to conquer Burma, and the generals below the marshal were bribed to return to the division in the scorching heat, and they did not carry out the military orders, and they also led the army to help the local people through the drought to repair the canal and dredge the canal, just that canal, and now it is still used."

Chen Mu also laughed when he heard this, there are still many good people in this world!

He shook his head and said to the reckless worm: "Let's get down to business, Bai Gu is only two hundred miles away from here, by land, how many days can I get there at the earliest?" ”

Bai Gu is the foundation of Mang Yinglong, but his army is now in the north, and attacking Bai Gu is Chen Mu's best choice at the moment.

The reason why they landed in Yangon, where birds don't, was because it was not easy to land by sea and land, and there was a fortress built by Portuguese mercenaries for Mang Yinglong on the sea side of Baigu, and once Mang Yinglong could not return to the division for a long time, they could only retreat to Phuket, so he would rather attack Baigu from Yangon by land.

"The road is not easy to walk, there is only one avenue, I heard the old man say that along the river bank to the end, and then go north for seven miles, you can see the official road, and you can go to Baigu along the northeast, not only to be careful of the army on the road, but also to prevent the enemy army from cutting off the grain road."

"I want them to go out of the city to fight, but I'm afraid they will hold on."

Chen Mu shook his head and said: "Mang Yinglong may be the strongest enemy that the Nanyang Army has encountered, the battle of the great powers has its own strengths and drawbacks, but a country like Myanmar is small and strong, and it is a rising country, there are a lot of birds, if they stick to it, I am afraid this battle is really difficult to fight." ”

"Send a message to Shiqi in Phuket and ask him to send a fleet to the banks of the Baigu River to try his luck, if the enemy army goes out of the city to stop us, he can try to take advantage of the situation." Chen Mu tapped the table twice and said, "The key is still there, and we are waiting to try to win the field battle." ”
