Annan is now in the situation of Zheng Ruan's dispute, the north is controlled by the Zheng family, and the south is controlled by the Ruan family, the Zheng family still claims to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of Annan so far, but the Ruan family in the south may not have expressed their attitude to the Ming Dynasty because of the relationship between the Zheng family.

Qin Shuhuai doesn't necessarily have to conquer the entire territory of Annan, but if the system determines that Annan, who only has the Zheng family as a vassal, is not considered a submission, then he will inevitably have to take action.

But among the small countries in South Asia, Myanmar is the most difficult to deal with.

From Jiajing to Wanli, the Ming Dynasty and Burma experienced a war that lasted for about half a century, known as the "Ming-Burma War". In this war, the Ming army suffered many defeats and few victories, not only failed to make Burma submit, but also lost more than 100,000 square kilometers of land, which really made the empire lose face.

However, this is not surprising considering the situation of internal and external troubles and the lack of armaments at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Burma is under the reign of the Taungoo Dynasty, which is the most powerful dynasty in the history of Myanmar, and its territory not only includes the whole territory of Myanmar, but also includes the Mubang, Mengyang, Mengmi and other areas in the southwest of Yunnan that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

So far, Myanmar has refused to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

And in history, until the Qianlong period, after several wars, Burma did not really submit to the Central Plains.

This is a tough opponent.

It is foreseeable that if Burma does not use troops, Burma will never pay tribute. And helplessly, Myanmar really called the Ming Dynasty a minister during the Hongwu period.

Then it is clear that if the task of the system is to be completed, the next "Ming-Burma War" will inevitably be launched.

Qin Shuhuai had to do this.

As a traverser, Qin Shuhuai naturally knew why he couldn't win the Burma fight before.

Putting aside all military and political factors, the most important factor why Burma was difficult to fight was that the Ming army did not have a strong naval division, which did not change until the Qianlong period.

What is a water master used for?

Landing Operations!

If it is not possible to land at the ports in southern Burma, then the army can only start by land from Yunnan and other places and attack northern Burma first.

What is the terrain of northern Myanmar? mountains, boundless mountains, and boundless primeval forests.

Moreover, in order to resist the Central Plains, they did not know how many fortifications they had built here over the ages.

Think about it, if the Burmese who were born and raised here have a heavy army here, relying on their familiarity with the local area and strong fortifications, how strong an army can fight through?

Anyway, the Yuan Dynasty can't beat it, the Ming Dynasty can't beat it, and the Qing Dynasty can't beat it either!

But what if there is a large-scale landing operation?

As long as two more offensive lines are opened up in the southern coastal areas of Burma, then the Burmese army will inevitably have to divide its troops into three routes and defend on three sides.

In terms of hard hits, Qin Shuhuai has never been afraid of anyone!

So here's the problem.

If you want to land in Burma and fight, first of all, the Daming Navy Division must dominate the ocean surface of South Asia.

So, the first enemy is the arrogant Dutch!

The former sea coachman, and now the most powerful empire in East Asia, will inevitably usher in a fight at sea!

The fight to determine the ownership of the South Asian Ocean.

This time, Qin Shuhuai was not only preparing to crush the fleet of the Dutch East India Company and take back several ports of the Eastern Domain (Taiwan) that they had occupied, but also prepared to control all the important shipping routes in South Asia.

For example, the Eastern Domain to Java is now an exclusive route for the Dutch. The annual profits brought in by this route alone would be enough to feed the entire fleet of East Holland India in South Asia, and even a surplus.

But dreams are beautiful, and in order to really do this, Daming still needs to accumulate strength for a while.

......

The success of the Northern Expedition was of far-reaching significance, and now the whole court, from the six ministries to the cabinet, is discussing the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds all day long. However, because there are not only officers and troops in the Northern Expeditionary Army, but also the Demon Sect and the Martial Arts Alliance, the composition is complicated, which also complicates the work of rewarding.

For example, for the Demon Sect, you can't reward him, right? But reward, you can't give him an official and a knight, right? And it is not okay to simply send some silver, so you have to give some false titles, how to give this virtual title, then you can pay attention to it, and now a group of old scholars in the Ministry of Rites are thinking about this matter every day.

However, some rewards can be taken slowly, but the reward can be issued quickly.

After another year, Chongzhen is now not short of money.

Because of the New Deal, Chongzhen received a total of 78.3 million taels in taxes in the five years! Although it was the second year of the New Deal, the small target of 100 million taels had not yet been reached, but this figure would definitely make Chongzhen look like an upstart.

However, the expenses of the imperial court are also large nowadays.

Do you think that the expenses of officials and soldiers all over the world have increased threefold!

Moreover, in order to implement the new policy, various government offices have been established across the country, such as the customs office, the customs wharf, the criminal yamen, the tax department, etc., which does not need to be scattered with a lot of silver?

However, after all the expenditures are removed, Chongzhen's five-year treasury still has a surplus of more than 28 million taels!

To say that this money, according to Qin Shuhuai's plan, originally a large proportion was supposed to be used for education, the construction of official roads and various infrastructure, but Chongzhen was so poor that he almost didn't do much in this year.

It's not that he really picks it, what he thinks is that he doesn't panic when he has money in his hand, and he has such a sum of money in the treasury first, as for the "infrastructure construction" that Qin Shuhuai said, it will not be too late for a year, right?

Qin Shuhuai probably also knew Chongzhen's psychology, so he didn't say anything, after all, if he was Chongzhen, I'm afraid he would do the same!

So, after the Northern Expeditionary Army returned, Chongzhen took out four million taels of military silver at once!

It was also announced that the families of all soldiers who were killed in battle or seriously injured and disabled could receive a monthly pension of five taels for ten consecutive years.

This is still only for the soldiers who have returned, and he has another reward for going to North Korea.

All of a sudden, each soldier received a reward of eighty or ninety taels of silver.

Coupled with the previous silver bounties and the monthly military salaries paid on time, it is not unusual for you to take out a small soldier casually, and someone throws out a silver ticket with a denomination of one hundred taels or even more with a wave of his hand!

Let's just put it this way, now if these big-headed soldiers are unarmed and return to the field, they will be able to buy a family and marry a daughter-in-law with dignity.

To put it in the past, who would dare to think?

But is that money enough?

Inadequate!

Then become a soldier, and then be a soldier for another seven or eight years, they believe that if they take off their armor at that time, they will not worry about the rest of their lives at all - the court has said that all veterans who have served for more than ten years, as long as they have made more than one military merit, can enjoy 3 taels to 10 taels of silver per month.

This treatment is not only tempted by the soldiers of the imperial court, but also by the soldiers of the Wulin Alliance.

So although the Northern Expedition was over, before Qin Shuhuai did not order the disbandment, all the soldiers and horses were stationed in place, and no one mentioned the matter of going home.

Of course, no one dared to mention it.

Because they are now soldiers, the thinking of orders and prohibitions has long been deeply rooted in their bone marrow after so many baptisms of blood and fire.

As long as Qin Shuhuai does not order the disbandment, they will exist forever.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
