In the following period, Xiao Ruxun signed several directives, ordering the sailors to prepare to dispatch about 40 warships to prepare for battle, prepare about 3,000 sailors for drills and combat preparations, transfer materials and firearms, and be ready to go to sea for expeditions at any time.

This time, Xiao Ruxun will personally go on the expedition, personally defeat the Spanish, and then negotiate with them.

Negotiations are the goal, and as for the expulsion of Spain, it is not yet time.

Xiao Ruxun knew that the imperial court would definitely grant his request to attack the Philippines, if nothing else, for the 100,000 taels of silver.

In mid-September, news came from Guangdong that the envoy sent by the imperial court would come to Burma by sea ship from Guangdong to deliver the message to Xiao Ruxun, and Xiao Ruxun immediately sent a ship to Guangdong to meet the envoy after hearing the news, and instructed his subordinates to land from Siam and bring the envoy to Burma via Siam.

After such a toss, the envoys finally arrived in Bago City on the fifth day of October, and along the way, Xiao Ruxun was entertained with good food, drink, cars, and horses, and the envoys were entertained well, and the most important point was not to let the envoys casually contact and watch the real situation in Burma.

Xiao Ruxun asked people to mainly look for those desolate roads that had just been repaired, and passed through the most desolate places, so that the envoys had the impression that Myanmar was still so desolate.

The prosperous area in southern Myanmar is now not known to the court officials, Xiao Ruxun still needs more time to develop his strength, and for the time being, he doesn't want that group of big rats to keep an eye on Myanmar's business taxes, otherwise these guys have ten thousand ways to turn Myanmar into their cornucopia.

On the sixth day of October, Xiao Ruxun greeted the envoy outside Bago City, and then went to the Zhennan Hou Mansion with the envoy.

"This barren land in Myanmar is really desolate, the envoy was born in the northwest, Rao is used to seeing desolate places, and he never thought that this thousands of miles of uninhabited land in Myanmar really exists, Xiao Zhennan is really suffering! At the beginning, the envoy also looked down on those who were jealous of the virtuous and capable, and let the generals of the dynasty come to this kind of place to guard, which was really a knife to kill chickens! ”

The envoy was indignant and hugged Xiao Ruxun in the car, and he was a little surprised when this stopped in Xiao Ruxun's ears - this is an official who sympathizes with him?

Xiao Ruxun knew that his military achievements were outstanding, although many civil officials were uneasy, but there were not a few civil officials who appreciated themselves, when they decided whether to let themselves guard Burma, the officials in the court had a big discussion, and the pros and cons had quarreled so much that they blushed and had thick necks, and they almost didn't fight.

Many civil officials supported letting them go out of Jizhen or Liaodong Town, so they felt that with their own ability, they would be able to successfully contain the Jurchens and Mongols within three or five years, and within ten years, they would be able to successfully counterattack and completely solve the northern border troubles.

If there is such a big general, you have to put it in a small place like Burma to guard southern Xinjiang, and you can't see whether the southern Xinjiang or the northern Xinjiang is a big threat?

Of course, with the support of the Empress Dowager and Wang Xijue, Xiao Ruxun still went out of Burma, and lost the possibility of returning to the Central Plains in a legal sense, which made a large number of officials sigh.

In recent years, every time there is an accident in Jizhen and Liaodong Town, someone has proposed to transfer Xiao Ruxun back to Northern Xinjiang, and even proposed to let him Yongzhen Liaodong and change the town guard, so that the Ming Dynasty Northern Xinjiang is worry-free, but this idea is a bit naïve, not to mention whether the cabinet supports it, but Li Chengliang will never allow this to happen.

In the past few years, whenever this kind of voice appears, Li Chengliang has often jumped up and down to oppose it, but he doesn't know that his approach is exactly what Xiao Ruxun expects, Xiao Ruxun is running so well in Myanmar, once he moves the nest, everything will be shattered and restarted, and he doesn't have so much energy and time.

Now the situation of guarding Myanmar is what he needs, and here the emperor of Tiangao can develop his strength well.

I really don't need to worry about any exposure and other issues, not to mention Myanmar, a place that doesn't need to be paid attention to at all, just say that the monitoring power of the imperial court is really so strong, and those corrupt officials and heroes in the local area will really be over, if Jinyiwei is really as terrifying as the civil officials say, will the Ming Dynasty lose the country?

Tiangao Emperor is far away, that is really Tiangao Emperor Yuan, under the current traffic conditions, the news obtained is the real lag news, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are indeed terrible, but so far, it is mainly to deal with civil officials, Xiao Ruxun is noble, and the two are in different states.

After thinking about this, Xiao Ruxun was relieved to farm in Myanmar, and after the envoy came, he flickered and let the envoy spread the suffering of Myanmar a little after he returned, which could also dispel the vigilance of many people.

This is the time that Xiao Ruxun wants to fight, last time he won another three years of tax holidays, this time I don't know if I can still get it.

But in any case, the right to send troops was won.

The incense case, tribute, etc. were ready, Xiao Ruxun knelt down to accept the order, and got the military right to send troops to conquer the unsubordinate and the military expenses of 100,000 taels of silver officially given by the imperial court.

When Xiao Ruxun counted the cashier, he was surprised to find that no one had done anything to do this silver, and it was a real and upright 100,000 taels of silver.

This is a strange thing, Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng have such an iron relationship, they can only get seventy or eighty percent of the military expenses, and he only has Song Yingchang, the internal secretary of the criminal department, how can he get complete military expenses?

The envoy saw Xiao Ruxun's doubts, so he said that His Majesty the Emperor was furious because of this matter, and also said that the emperor personally summoned him and wanted to follow the silver all the way over, and if he was less than one or two pieces of silver, his head would fall to the ground, and then asked Xiao Ruxun to repair a letter to himself as a certificate, so as not to ask the emperor for his own head after going back.

At the reception banquet, Xiao Ruxun brought the senior officers and senior civilian officials of the Zhennan Army to accompany him, and invited Yuan Huang and Yuan Yan father and son, as well as Chen Longzheng, the mallet, to tout the envoys together, and let the three people with the highest level of education accompany him to make a drinking order, which naturally made him have a lot of fun.

"Myanmar is bitter, and the reception banquet can only be like this, and please don't blame the angels."

Seeing that the situation was almost over, Xiao Ruxun personally poured wine to the envoy to "apologize", and the envoy was on the rise, laughing, saying that what is this, no matter how hard the days are, it doesn't matter.

Yuan Huang and the others immediately touted it, and they couldn't tell him the difference between the southeast and the northwest.

When the envoy was leaving, Xiao Ruxun brought him a tray, which contained several hundred taels of silver.

"Burma is bitter, and I don't know what I can get my hands on, so I can only thank the envoy with five hundred taels of silver, and please don't let the envoy be too little."

The envoy looked at Xiao Ruxun with a righteous face and resolutely refused.

"Myanmar is so hard, Xiao Zhennan still does not forget the country's kindness, and serves the country loyally, such measures are better than those wine bags and rice bags in the capital, how can Xiao Zhennan's silver be asked for in the future? Xiao Zhennan, please take back the silver and compensate the soldiers for the official! ”

As he spoke, the envoy wiped a few tears, turned to get into the car and left.

Xiao Ruxun looked at the envoy's distant figure, the corners of his mouth hooked, looked back at his henchmen, and smiled at each other. 210
