Chapter 515: Scheming on both sides

"Myanmar is such a good place!"

It was not Ning Yu Junchen who sighed, but in the palace of the governor of Burma in Xikan, Myanmar, at this time, Cheng Ming, the governor of Burma, was standing in front of the map of Myanmar, and sighed with satisfaction, after a detailed understanding, he found that Myanmar contained unimaginable wealth.

Staff officer Yang Yingyuan followed behind Cheng Ming, he is now appreciated by Cheng Ming, and even his military rank has been promoted to lieutenant colonel, so he treats Commander Cheng more and more respectfully.

"Staff Officer Yang, what do you say is the most precious thing in Myanmar?" Cheng Ming had a smile full of meaning on his face.

Yang Yingyuan pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice: "There are many jade and jade in Myanmar, could it be that the Metropolitan Governor is referring to these?" ”

"Nope."

Cheng Ming shook his head, and then sighed: "The real and most precious thing is not these stones, but the land and population of Myanmar." ”

Land is always the most enthusiastic wealth of the Chinese people, because as a nation based on farming, as long as they can farm on it, then they will never easily give up that territory, and Myanmar is a place with a large amount of arable land, and its own arable land resources are unimaginable.

Myanmar belongs to a typical country with high terrain in the north and low in the south, with high mountains in the north, Naga Hills and Rakhine Mountains in the west, and Shan State Plateau in the east.

"According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Department in Burma, the current arable land alone has at least tens of millions of acres, and they are all excellent paddy fields, otherwise the Privy Council would not have given such a high reward, and the entire Burmese army will be 53,000 people, of which 3 million acres of paddy fields alone will be dividedβ€”β€”"

Cheng Ming slowly said a huge number, and then said in a low voice: "In addition to these lands, there are also millions of people under the Tusi in Myanmar, and when the time comes, whether it is to build roads or open mines, there will be no worries about not having enough labor. ”

Yang Yingyuan was a little apprehensive and said, "But we can't occupy the whole of Burma after all....... The Shan and Mon ethnic groups are eyeing the Upper and Lower Burma, just waiting for us to withdraw our troops. ”

Cheng Ming sneered, the Shan and Meng clans were no longer in his consideration, but he didn't continue to speak, although some things have been reported, there is no need to talk about them with the same staff officer, at least not yet.

"Let's not talk about these things first, the old man has his own considerations in his heart, but there is still a very critical thing at the moment, that is, to completely defeat the Donghu people!"

"Take Ava, it's inevitable!"

In mid-July, the Fu Han army took advantage of the rainy season weather to stop, and immediately launched the battle of Ava, but at this time, there were only less than 6,000 Burmese troops in the city of Ava, and the rest of the Burmese troops were besieged by the Shan and Mon tribes, but no one came to help.

After only one day and one night of attack, the city of Ava was completely crushed by the artillery of the Fu Han army, and a large number of troops entered the city, but at this time the prince of Donghu fell into a sea of fire, and the Fu Han army learned from the captured prisoners that the king of Donghu and his ministers were killed in the sea of fire at this time.

After taking Ava, Cheng Ming organized people to renovate the walls of Ava on the one hand and stabilize the people, but on the other hand, he sent people to invite the leaders of the Shan and Meng clans to demand the division of the land left behind by the Donghu Dynasty, which can be regarded as Ning Chu's commitment to support Ava and Baigu Liguo.

In fact, before the Fu Han army entered Burma, it had already sent people to contact the Shan and Meng tribes, asking for a joint division of the land of the Donghu Dynasty, but although the Donghu had shown a trend of decay at that time, the hundred-legged insects died but did not stiffen, and no one dared to rashly face the last counterattack of the Donghu Dynasty, so that only after the Fu Han army entered Burma first, the two tribes would choose the opportunity to carry out an uprising.

Cheng Ming didn't care about this naked idea of picking peaches, but was more enthusiastic about inviting the two clans to join the uprising, until the end of the first battle of Laoguantun, the Shan and Meng clans saw the opportunity and launched an uprising against the Donghu Dynasty, which swept the whole country for a while.

Now that Donghu has been extinguished, Cheng Ming also sent an invitation, and at this time, the Shan and Meng clans, after just wiping the blood off their hands, were extremely wary of the invitation sent by this foreign force.

Pyinmana, a city in the heart of Myanmar, is located in the valley between the Baigu Mountains and the Ben Nong Mountains, and has a smaller population than Ava and Baiku, but it is also a prosperous place in Myanmar that has now become a war-torn area.

After the uprising of the Shan and Mon tribes, the two sides naturally developed around Upper Burma and Lower Burma respectively, so the central Pimpmana naturally has always been in the hands of the Donghu people, but after the Fu Han army captured Ava, the Shan and Meng tribes instinctively felt the threat, so they captured Pyinmana together, which was regarded as taking down the last power fortress of Donghu.

After taking Pyinmana, the leader of the Shan tribe, Gong Liyan, and the leader of the Mon tribe, Simitao Buddha Jidi, began to hold talks together, in which in addition to discussing the boundaries of their respective territories, they began to discuss how to deal with the outsiders Ning Chu.

For this point, the leader of the Shan tribe, Gong Li Yan, has a kind of skin pain, because the base of Shan is in Ava, but now Ava has fallen into the hands of Ning Chu, which makes Gong Li Yan suffer a lot of criticism within the clan, and he himself feels weird, if Ava can't get it back, how can he be the king of Ava at that time? How to restore the Ava dynasty?

"Smitao Buddha Gitti, my brother, now that Taungoo is a thing of the past, the land of Myanmar is still occupied by a group of outsiders, and this is not the situation we want to see."

The leader of the Meng tribe, Emperor Simitao Buddha Jidi, was originally a monk, and later because of his high reputation, he was driven to the shelves and became the leader of the Meng tribe, but he was not a real power leader like the palace goose, so he was relatively cautious when he spoke, but he felt very solemn.

"Gong Liyan, right now, my two clans have spent a lot of money to defeat Donghu, and now it is the time for you and my clan to establish their own countries, so it's not good to fight against Ning Chu......"

Of course, Emperor Simitao Buddha Ji spoke very lightly, and the Fu Han army did not enter Lower Burma in a big way, so why did he bother to help the palace geese against Ning Chu? Besides, although the two clans united to oppose Donghu, it doesn't mean that their relationship is much better, if it weren't for the Ava Kingdom represented by the Shan people and the Baigu Kingdom represented by the Meng people, they have been fighting for 40 years, where would it be their turn to get Donghu to sit big?

Hearing the prevarication in the words of Emperor Simitao Buddha, Gong Li Yan was naturally very dissatisfied in his heart, he smiled and said coldly: "I think that now it is more important to put aside the struggle between Ava and Bai Gu first, and jointly resist foreign enemies!" Once Ning Chu is allowed to take root in Myanmar, do you think that Myanmar will be spared? ”

Everyone knows the richness of Lower Burma, and everyone has their eyes on the land of Lower Burma.

Emperor Simitao Buddha Ji snorted coldly, but he no longer refutated, but just said in a low voice: "Now that Ning Chu has sent us an invitation, since we want to sit down and negotiate a solution, then discuss it well, if you use the sword soldiers, I am afraid that the consequences will be unpredictable......."

Gong Li Yan smiled slightly, he knew in his heart that Emperor Si Mitao Buddha Ji Di was already a little jealous, and said: "Naturally, we have to talk about it, but how to talk about it is another matter......
