"What? The kingdom of Bara, the country of Lafayette, the country of Aceh and the country of Perak were beaten by the Ming country, and they want to send troops to save them? Isn't that a wolf in the house? They don't know how the Burmese state is gone? Look at the fact that these countries are either stupid or are using some kind of tricks! ”

is talking nonsense is Li Jicheng, the grandson of Emperor Dashun, this kid is not very old, only in his early twenties. But the ability is not small, he has already emerged on the battlefield in Shaanxi, leading the new army imitating the Ming army to establish the Youth Mansion Soldier and the army commanded by Wu Sangui have fought many times, and there are more victories and fewer defeats!

However, this kid's ability to cause trouble is about the same as his ability to fight, and when he was fighting in Shaanxi, he relied on himself to be the emperor's grandson, and he won a few battles, so he didn't take Liu Zongmin, Li Dingguo, Yuan Zongdi, and Liu Fangliang in his eyes. He also mocked them behind their backs that their fighting skills were too trendy, and they couldn't command a new army at all. Although this is true, this group of founding princes is indeed a bit outdated and can't keep up with the times, but it's too offensive to say it!

Dashun is not a system of the emperor's dictatorship, but a government of eight kings. If the eight kings of the council are all provoked by him, his grandson will not be able to do it.

Therefore, the crown prince Li Laiheng did not dare to leave him on the front line in Shaanxi, nor did he dare to leave him in the court to cause trouble, so he simply sent him to the military affairs of the governor of Burma.

After arriving in Myanmar, Li Jicheng had no one to control it, so he was even more impertinent when he spoke, and now he actually said that the dignified Dashun Shangguo, the Celestial Dynasty of Benevolence and Righteousness is a big bad wolf...... If the emperor Li Guo heard this, Li Jicheng's position as the grandson might be gone!

Li Jicheng doesn't need Li Laiheng, Li Laiheng, the crown prince, is nominally three generations, but in fact, he is the founder of the country, and he fought the country with those old kings, so his position is very stable.

And Li Jicheng, the fourth generation of Dashun, is a real small generation, and in the eyes of the old kings, he is an ignorant junior. And those little kings may not be able to obey him, because Li Laiheng has many sons, although Li Jicheng is the eldest son, but his mother died early, and Li Laiheng continued after Li Jicheng's own mother died and married the daughter of King Sun Kewang of Qin as a concubine. Li Laiheng and Sun Kewang's daughter have a good relationship, and they have three sons and three daughters......

"Taisun!" Song Yaowen, the son of Song Xiance, who is not much older than Li Jicheng, but looks very calm, hurriedly reminded, "You have to be cautious in your words and deeds!" Now there are many old kings who are dissatisfied with you, and the emperor and his old man are also ......"

The dissatisfaction of the kings with Li Jicheng will not cause the downfall of His Royal Highness the Taisun, because Li Jicheng is the Taisun and not the crown prince. Now that Li Guo is not dead, Li Laiheng's prince doesn't know when it will be Li Jicheng's turn to be the Year of the Monkey? Therefore, the kings of the council are also dissatisfied, and they will not really exert their efforts to replace Li Jicheng.

But Li Guo's dissatisfaction with Li Jicheng is a problem!

Moreover, Li Guo's dissatisfaction was not because of Li Jicheng's domineering, but because Li Jicheng believed that both the Juntian system and the government military system were outdated, and there were even signs of maladministration.

Due to the lack of equalized fertile land and the need for land for too many government soldiers, the former has evolved into a system in which government soldiers seize land from private households. It is common to give all the good land to the government and soldiers, and then give all the sloping land and terraced fields to the households, or simply use the land in Yunnan or even Myanmar to compensate the Sichuan farmers who have lost their land - it is not easy to move from Sichuan to Yunnan and Myanmar, and the farmers are all wasteland or even forest land, which needs to be invested and developed to become fertile land.

However, the vast majority of Dashun peasants could not save capital for immigration and development, and there was no place to borrow, so they could only live as tenant farmers in their own villages. Only a small part of them were able to move to Ava and Sarang in Burma with the support of the Dashun court and the princes' palaces.

As for the government military system, because of the long period of time, the insufficient number of land and the small subsidies of the imperial court, the days are getting poorer and poorer, and the morale of the service is getting lower and lower.

What made Li Jicheng even more dissatisfied was that the solidification within the government soldiers was becoming more and more serious, not only the class solidification, but also too many "old people" who held high positions had no way to quit, thus blocking the way of newcomers. This matter is related to Dashun's "profit out of a hole", except to be a soldier, there is no other way out for those "veterans and veterans".

In addition, there is no way to implement the hated last-place elimination system and "997" in the Dashun army - how to eliminate the government soldiers? Confiscate the land or let the son take over? Moreover, the government soldiers are soldiers in agriculture, and martial arts are practiced at home, and there is no need to practice hard in the temporary cramming in the barracks. Therefore, there is no tradition of "997", and the government soldiers are not paid, so there is no tool to motivate soldiers to train hard.

If the pattern of wars in recent years is not changing with each passing day, Dashun's military system should still be a very good military system. But now this group of feudal landlord soldiers is a little out of step with the trend...... On the Shaanxi battlefield, the main battlefield of the Mingshun confrontation, the signs of the Dashun army's backwardness were even more significant. Although Li Dingguo has always overpowered Wu Sangui in the strategy of using troops, Wu Sangui is invincible with a few new army divisions.

Whenever the two armies face each other in a dignified manner, even if the Dashun army has the advantage in numbers and terrain, it will most likely be a loss in the end, and even if it barely wins, it must be a miserable victory.

Only the young army pulled up by Li Jicheng performed relatively well, and could line up and shoot the new army division in the hands of Wu Sangui, and he also won several times.

However, after all, the new-style youth army has few people, and because of its outstanding performance, it has become the target of the Ming army's key attack, and Wu Sangui also asked Zhu Cihong for the young guards to fight Li Jicheng's young soldiers. So Li Taisun didn't open up the situation in Shaanxi, and he offended many people, and even the emperor Li Guo was dissatisfied with him - what Li Guo hated the most was that someone exposed the shortcomings of Juntian and the soldiers!

Hearing what his henchmen said, Li Jicheng just snorted a few times: "These people, they are all getting older and more stubborn, and they can't listen to the truth until now, if this continues, what can we do with Dashun!" ”

"Taisun," Gao Yidao, who also kept Taisun, interjected, "going south to Malacca may be able to reverse the decline!" ”

Li Jicheng shook his head, "It's useless...... We are not a Ming country, and Shalian's sea trade can't make anything at all, but it's just a matter of knowing what to have. ”

The Sichuan Basin is four or five thousand miles away from Shalianhaikou, and the road is not easy to walk, there are many mountains along the way, and the transportation cost is high and scary.

Therefore, the Shalian Sea Trade did not make money at all, that is, in exchange for a little good horses, guns, and cotton needed by the official handicraft workshops of Shalian and Ava.

"Taisun," Gao Yidao shook his head and lowered his voice, "That's opening up territory!" And Malacca is a good place to set up a card to collect money...... In addition, what is the Bala Kingdom, in fact, it is a signboard made by the Western Hongmao Kingdom in the South Seas. It is estimated that the Hongmao Kingdom was forced by the Ming Kingdom to be anxious, and wanted us to enter Malacca to stir up the situation. ”

"The kingdom of Barra is the country of red hair?" Li Jicheng twisted his eyebrows, "I heard that the red-haired country is a Western powerhouse, and some of them have good guns and cannons!" ”

"Not only do we have good guns and cannons, but also good ......ships," Song Yaowen added, "If the Red-haired Country is willing to help us fight the Arakan Kingdom, we will send it!" ”

The Arakan country is next to Myanmar and India, with a long coastline, and has always been a trade country, so although the country is not big, it is very rich, and it has long been targeted by Li Laiheng.

However, because the land route from Lower Burma to Arakan is very difficult, and the navy of Arakan is relatively strong, Li Laiheng can only stare at it a few times, and there is no possibility of attacking at all.

Li Jicheng waved his hand and said: "It can't be like this, Dashun is a state of benevolence and righteousness, how can you let the red-haired country help you annex a small state?" In that case, the countries of Lafayette, Aceh and Perak can still get close to them? ”

"It's still Taisun Renyi." Song Yaowen was slightly disappointed, but he still praised it.

Li Jicheng said again: "However, when the storm comes south, everyone will not live in peace, and the Arakan country cannot stay out of the matter...... Eh, it means that the Arakanese country should be pulled together to send troops! ”
