But Song Yingchang also thought about it, and felt that if Xiao Ruxun could really get them silver, with these people's discipline and love for silver, they might not be able to give this wild land to Xiao Ruxun as a favor, and satisfy the ideas of Xiao Ruxun and them, isn't it a situation where you are good, I am good, everyone is good?

This is their favorite situation, and they have gained benefits, and they can ease the relationship with Xiao Ruxun and further isolate the emperor, why not? As for Myanmar...... Who cares? Yongle Ye was so awesome at the beginning, didn't he give up? This proves that it is not easy to govern there, and there is no money to be made by the poor and the poor, if it weren't for a group of people making trouble, the Ming Dynasty would not have sent troops to these places.

However, it doesn't matter if these people don't understand the value of Myanmar, Xiao Ruxun can understand it, Myanmar's rich natural resources can make many countries feel jealous, not to mention, just the abundant oil production can make many people red-eyed, not to mention that gold, silver, copper, iron and lead These resources are also distributed everywhere, and what is even more powerful is that Myanmar also produces rubies and sapphires, which are not too valuable.

Now it is just no development, and when it is developed, Myanmar's geographical location can be called unique, not only the grain can be double-cropped and three-cropped, the forest resources are very abundant, all kinds of precious timber are produced in Myanmar, and more importantly, Myanmar is not worried about no water at all, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is worried about the lack of precipitation every year, and the wells are exhausted, and in Myanmar, there is no lack of precipitation or the problem of river depletion, they have to worry about flooding caused by too much water.

The average temperature of the coldest month is 20°C-25°C, and the average temperature of the hottest month is 25°C-30°C, which means that food and cash crops can be grown all year round.

This unique condition is an important factor for Myanmar to compete with China in history, but it is also the main incentive for a country like Myanmar that is rich in resources to make people jealous of itself to become a strong country, these countries have a good environment, the location is too good, there is something to eat when you reach out, you don't have to work hard, you don't have to fight with Tiandou and people to get living space, such as Brazil, the country's organization has become a serious shortcoming, and the scattered national character is hopeless.

But if Daming comes to own this area, it will be completely different, in the upcoming Xiaoice period, owning the treasure land of Myanmar is one of Xiao Ruxun's important bargaining chips, in the future strategy of operating the South Seas, Xiao Ruxun will also use various methods to obtain territory in the South Sea, in short, to pocket the entire South China Sea.

To achieve this goal, it is very important to have the qualification of "Yongzhen Burma", so that he can run Myanmar with confidence, without worrying that someone will come to pick his peaches at any time, Yongzhen Burma, rule this area by himself, and can achieve a more thorough independent rule than Yunnan, Yunnan Mu only has a transcendent status, the government needs to respect the opinions of Yunnan Mu, and cannot decide to deal with it by himself like Xiao Ruxun, Yunnan still has civil power, and there are governors.

And Myanmar is different, Myanmar has only one master, Xiao Ruxun!

After receiving this letter, Song Yingchang thought about how to skillfully operate this matter and how to skillfully use his political power to achieve this important goal.

Before that, Song Yingchang had already gone through some necessary communication, from the mouths of some subordinates to get out the news that "everyone doesn't want Xiao Ruxun to stay in the capital to serve in Beijing", it is said that the news came out of the palace, and it was approved by many people, the reason is that through the investigation, it is believed that Xiao Ruxun's prestige in the local army is too high, and if he falls to the emperor and forms an alliance with the emperor, it will be a disaster for the ministers.

They think that Xiao Ruxun has managed the relationship between Ningxia, Xuanda, Shandong, and the southern soldiers and wolf soldiers very well through two major wars, and even the Sichuan soldiers and Guangdong soldiers have intercourse, and they think that it is a very bad thing to have a general who can be good friends with various places and can be trusted in the environment of the army's mountains, and for this reason, not only can he not stay in the capital, but it is best not to leave him in the Central Plains, and put him in remote areas, so as to use time to wear off Xiao Ruxun's influence in the local army.

And this battle for Burma is the best God-given opportunity, Myanmar does not belong to the land of China, but a wild land, no one has anything to do with there, throw Xiao Ruxun over, let him toss it himself, is it possible to toss flowers in Burma?

This incident gave Song Yingchang a lot of help, he began to realize that his plan with Xiao Ruxun coincided with the opinions of the courtiers, and the difference was that he hoped that Xiao Ruxun would find a way to save the country in Burma, while the courtiers just hoped to deal with this troublesome treasure, and he would need to fight in the future, after all, Xiao Ruxun is a rare real general in this era when civil officials and military officials are even more pitted.

can fight, can make money, do not form a party or do selfishness, can really solve problems, although everyone is very pitiful, but also very clear, things are put there, someone has to do it, it doesn't matter if you fight for power and profit, but things always have to be done, it's really big, everyone has no good fruit to eat, so everyone wants to fight for people who can do things, even if it's a pit dad like Yan Song, there must be a Hu Zongxian under his hand to support the façade, isn't it?

If Xiao Ruxun is appeased, then he is Hu Zongxian, and when the time comes, he will be able to pit it if he is useless, how good?

But these people certainly didn't think that what they were throwing away was a beautiful jade wrapped in stones.

When Song Yingchang received Xiao Ruxun's letter, Xiao Ruxun had already led his troops to Bago City, and after destroying several fortresses outside Bago City through artillery bombardment and simple attacks, the main city of Bago City appeared within the range of the Ming army's artillery fire, and the not tall city wall did not bring much confidence to the Burmese people in the city, and they looked at this army that defeated their 100,000 army of the Celestial Empire with panicked looks and fearful eyes.

This is the Heavenly Soldier, huh?

The Burmese looked at the Ming army with clear armor and clear-cut banner and more distinct weapons, and looked at the muzzle and muzzle of the black hole, they were cowardly before they could fight, and they didn't dare to fight, if it weren't for the general of the personal guard with the troops behind to supervise the battle, they would have collapsed long ago, and their last bit of will to resist has completely collapsed with the Ming army's action of shelling the outlying strongholds, so there is no need to talk about anything else.

Xiao Ruxun used a clairvoyant mirror to look at the deployment of the Burmese army, and then looked at Yuan Huang, Yuan Huang nodded, waved his hand, the drum sounded, and a hundred artillery pieces immediately entered the combat state, loaded and prepared to ignite.

"Still not surrender?"

Xiao Ruxun asked Matteo Ricci, the envoy who came back from Bago City, Matteo Ricci shook his head and said: "Their king said that although they can attack, they will never take the initiative to surrender, and they will die with dignity. ”

"Humph! Dignity? Is dignity an issue they should be talking about? ”

Xiao Ruxun sneered a few times, and with another wave of his hand, the war drums sounded, and the Ming army officially declared war.

Several rounds of shelling, the Burmese army on the head of the city completely collapsed, and there was no one to resist at all, and no one came to stop the Ming army when they attacked the city gate, until the city gate was broken by the Ming army with a wooden hit, Xiao Ruxun saw the Burmese army who dared to resist and bravely killed the Ming army, but it was too late, they had no capital to defend, and the Ming army entered the city of Bago, and the Burmese army was defeated like a mountain.

The battle lasted until the afternoon of this day, the Ming army completely controlled the city of Bago, killed all the resistance of the Burmese army, and broke through the palace of Mang Yingli, and killed the entire Burmese royal family including Mang Yingli, even the old man and the baby were not left, and then a fire burned down the entire palace, and all the valuable gold and property in the palace were moved out to become the trophies of the Ming army, and the captured Burmese soldiers and people in the city looked at the direction of the palace and kept crying.

In order to further deter these people, Xiao Ruxun ordered the captured Burmese soldiers to be shot en masse, and then dug a pit and buried them, and burned them with fire, which greatly deterred those civilians, as for some of the Portuguese musketeers who were a little unlucky in the city and did not have time to escape, they were forgiven by Xiao Ruxun at the request of those Portuguese in Macau, and they became the mercenaries of the Ming Dynasty.

After that, Xiao Ruxun ordered the prisoners of war to be separated, the old and the young, all tied up and separated, and prepared to take them to the nearby woods to be shot collectively by the Portuguese.

The men were locked up and taken care of, and then it was useful, and as for the young women, according to the custom, they were rewarded to the soldiers of the Ming army who had not tasted femininity for several months, so that they could vent their anger well.

There is no way, Xiao Ruxun does not allow them to harass Siamese women, even if those very open Siamese women take the initiative to come to their arms and give them a hug, Xiao Ruxun refuses and does not allow them to enter the barracks, which makes Na Ruixuan extremely admire Xiao Ruxun's strict military discipline, but this makes it difficult for those Ming soldiers who watch Siamese women scratch their heads and make gestures.

Everyone endured it before, for the sake of the so-called Celestial Empire's face, but this time it won't be used, right? There is nothing polite to be with a prisoner of war! Then these Burmese captives cannot be spared.

Xiao Ruxun didn't care, waved his hand, and more than 10,000 young women belonged to the Ming soldiers.

One night, the ghosts and wolves howled endlessly, which made Xiao Ruxun himself a little irritable, and he couldn't think about the performance of the court...... These bastards! Can't you just be quiet?!

On this night of wolf crying, Matteo Ricci was not at peace, he lit the lights in the apartment to which he was assigned, took out a pen and paper, and began to record his mental journey, which should have been a very valuable experience.

"I think I should be the first missionary to witness the cruel and bloody war of annihilation between the countries of the East, and on this night, listening to the wailing, scolding and laughter outside, I feel so unsettled at this moment, and everything around me is so strange and unreal.

I swear to the Lord that this is my first time experiencing war, and although it was not my intention, I did participate in it, and even served General Xiao as a messenger of surrender, although it did not succeed, otherwise, I should have avoided such a cruel end.

China is too powerful, too terrible, General Xiao said to me, he is only one of China's thousands of generals, his 30,000 troops are only one of China's millions of troops, he is just a very ordinary general, but I think a general with the title of marquis should not be ordinary, although I talked to General Xiao about mathematics, astronomy and geography, but I still think I can't see this general clearly.

He was very smart and very studious, he was very interested in all the knowledge I brought to the table, he was interested in the globe, he was interested in glassware, he was interested in the map of the world, he was also interested in mathematics, and he even worked with me to translate part of Euclid's originals, and I could see that General Xiao had a certain foundation in mathematics, which meant that there were people in China who were studying mathematics, although we did not understand the language and the direction of research was different, but if there was no mathematics, I firmly believe that a huge country cannot be sustained.

He is very good at using muskets and artillery, his war mode is inseparable from muskets and artillery, he is good at using artillery to strike at the enemy's dense military formations, and then attack the enemy with a strange but very efficient combination of muskets and knives and guns, and it is extremely efficient, it looks like a Macedonian phalanx, but its core is countless musketeers and archers, making this formation have ranged and process lethality, and increase exponentially.

On the battlefield, he was cold-blooded and ruthless, and on this night, I saw him expressionlessly ordering thousands of captured Burmese soldiers who had lost their will to resist to be shot to death, and then thrown into a large pit, and set fire to the corpses of these people, and in the reflection of the burning fire, I seemed to see countless wronged souls praying to the Lord for salvation, asking the Lord to forgive me for my cowardice and incompetence, because I really did not have the courage to raise even the slightest objection at that time.

Then, I saw him divide the captured civilians into batches, men and women, old people and children, some women seemed to realize something, holding their children and refusing to let go, they were ordered by General Xiao to kill the mother and son together, some men stood up and resisted, and they were shot in the forehead in an instant, and the courage of the civilians quickly disappeared, and the old man and the child were taken into the dense forest by some Portuguese, and what was waiting for them must be death, I have no doubt.

Next, the man was locked up by him, I don't know what he was going to do, and the woman, who was given by him to his subordinate army, said that his soldiers hadn't played with women for a long time, and it was time to release it, and I beg the Lord to forgive me, as a man, I can actually understand what he did, and I also had such a desire, and even planned to participate in such an with those soldiers, but I still restrained myself with reason.

General Xiao did not seem to intend to participate in such a revelry, I saw him walk into his command post alone, I did not know what he was going to do, but I could not understand very well that the general, who had talked with me about mathematics, astronomy and geography, had become a bloodthirsty murderer at this time.

He said that he did not trust the Lord, he did not trust any gods and demons, he only believed in human beings themselves, I think, from General Xiao, I can roughly understand what kind of existence the Chinese are, this group of terrible and admirable people, until I draw accurate conclusions, I will always walk with them, I will use my eyes to witness what this group of people do, and record it, please be merciful Lord to protect me, Amen."
