The power of capitalists and careerists is great, especially in Europe, a land where the traditional monarchy is not very powerful, and where separatism is rife, the situation of the traditional monarch is even more awkward. 、
They seem to be very unsympathetic to their own monarch and the monarchs of other countries.
So the capitalists and careerists also put pressure on the Spanish government through their connections, threatening the Spanish government not to damage the image of Europeans in front of the Chinese, not to damage their interests, otherwise they will completely fall to Britain and the Netherlands.
The Spanish government was attacked on both sides, and the war with Britain and the Netherlands was inconclusive, and the Spanish government, which was mired in the quagmire of war, could only watch the Philippines completely occupied by the Chinese, thus giving up the expedition plan.
Watching a huge gain swallowed up by the Chinese in this way, and seeing that Spain could not completely clean up England and the Netherlands in any case, King Philip II of Spain was anxious and angry.
He watched the glorious situation he had created lose little by little, and the former world hegemon was actually reduced to the point of being threatened, and the seventy-year-old man was so angry that he whimpered for his life.
After that, Spain declined rapidly, and the position of the first generation of world hegemons was shaky, and they no longer had time to pay attention to the Philippines and China.
All this that happened in Europe, whether it was Xiao Ruxun or Yuan Huang, was only known later.
They later learned that the dispatch of a few ships to Europe on a whim had opened up a whole new situation, giving China so many almost inconceivable natural allies in Europe, and a wave of divine manipulation helped them to stifle the last madness of the Spaniards.
By the way, this group of god teammates also gave the Zhennan army enough time to consolidate their rule in the Philippines and establish a new order in the South Seas.
Since then, the new Nanyang order with Zhennan Hou Mansion as the core has been successfully established and consolidated, the Spaniards have all been expelled, and the Portuguese have all fallen to Zhennan Hou Mansion to work for Zhennan Hou Mansion as mercenaries or craftsmen in order to survive.
The Portuguese in Macau were also basically aware of the gap between Macau and Burma, so they all moved to Yangon City, Burma, trying to find a new way out here, and the Macau problem, which had been delayed for hundreds of years in the original time and space, ceased to exist.
Since then, the South Seas have been reclassified as China's sphere of influence, and have ceased to be a foothold for Europeans to plunder Asia.
Such a major historical change was obviously not something that people could have predicted at that time.
After fooling Alexander and Matteo Ricci, Yuan Huang led the rest of his troops to keep up with the vanguard of the vanguard, and by the time he set out, Zhao Hu had already led his army to fight the second Mon coalition army.
This time the position of the battle has entered the territory of the Arakan Dynasty, here, Zhao Hu encountered a Meng army and a Meng tribe, the army is not large, it seems to be organized in a hurry, Luo Rong led the wolf battalion to destroy this small force of three or four thousand people with a charge.
And then there's the panicked tribe.
This time, Zhao Hu did not go on a killing spree, nor did he need to do so, the fundamental purpose of this war was to cut off the threat and plunder the labor force, cutting off the threat was to destroy their rule, and to plunder the labor force was to plunder the working population.
Xiao Ruxun deeply felt that the construction of Myanmar needed a large population, and there were not many Han people in Myanmar, most of whom needed to produce, and it was difficult to open up wasteland, so it was necessary for a large number of captives to use their own flesh and blood to open up new horizons in the primeval forest areas of central Myanmar and northern Myanmar.
Regardless of men, women, old and children, as long as they surrender, they will be caught, and indiscriminate killing is not allowed, these are precious wasteland labor, and they don't have to pay for it, if they don't have more, the merrier, where can they go to get so much labor in the future?
This is the rule set by Yuan Huang.
Zhao Hu surrounded the tribe with troops and sent a Mon merchant to get them to surrender.
In recent years, there are also some Mon businessmen who have come to Myanmar to do business, and some of these people have different ideas and are not interested in participating in the intelligence gathering work to recapture their hometowns.
Xiao Ruxun attaches great importance to these few dozens of Meng businessmen, they are not only talents who are urgently needed in terms of language, but also talents who are needed in his own intelligence work and collection, and they are also talents who are urgently needed to persuade and fool him.
So Xiao Ruxun encircled them and gave them a certificate of residence in Burma, and this time, Yuan Huang took five Meng surrenderers and asked them to contribute to the customs and language, such as persuasion.
Zhao Hu sent troops to surround this small tribe, and a Meng defector went to persuade him to surrender, and after about a quarter of an hour of the incident, the leader of this tribe laid down his arms and surrendered.
In fact, it is impossible not to surrender, this small tribe has a population of tens of thousands, and the soldiers who can fight are less than half of the Ming army under Zhao Hu, why not surrender?
Are you waiting to die like the Mon coalition army before you?
The brutal and powerful influence left by the Ming army in the hearts of the Mon people was too profound to be transformed into fear with a little force.
These Mon people were afraid of the Ming army and did not dare to confront the Ming army alone, so they obediently surrendered.
Zhao Hu kept his promise not to kill anyone, allowed them to bring soft and rations, and sent people to escort them on the way back, Yuan Huang had already set up an office in Pingxi City, leaving dozens of clerks and enough troops to arrange for these surrendered laborers to start working.
They keep working until they die, no one will kill them, but they will still die quickly.
Use their lives to build the town of Burma and the bright future of the Ming Dynasty.
Cruel and beautiful world!
Yuan Huang will not pity them, he is not a traditional literati, he has planted the seeds of hatred in his heart since he was a child, his thinking is completely different, his hometown father and elders are deeply persecuted by the Japanese Kou, he studied and entered the office for revenge, if he insisted on saying it, Yuan Huang when he was young was like a jealous and hateful knight.
After entering the office, he did not change his original intention, just entered the office and the general civil officials are different, specifically against the landlord and the evil gentry, to do practical things for the people under the rule, not to admire the fame, although repeatedly failed, but repeatedly defeated and fought.
This makes Yuan Huang's behavior completely different from that of ordinary Qingliu civil officials, and the way of thinking about problems is also different from that of ordinary civil officials, which is also a big reason why Xiao Ruxun and Yuan Huang can form a deep friendship in the war, and it is also the reason why Yuan Huang can't mix in the officialdom of the capital at all.
Yuan Huang led the army to advance step by step from south to north, compressing the living space of the Meng people step by step, the military means were sharp, and the political means did not fall, Yuan Lifan was still a civilian official in the end.
He sent for the king of Arakan, Minyesaki.
