"King!"

In the conference hall of the General Staff Headquarters, Yang Qing saluted to King Tang.

The bad guy is also a vassal king.

Although the prince of the protector is big, he is only below the rank of the prince of the clan, that is to say, he is the largest prince of the protector of the country of Chu in addition to the king of the clan, what is the prince of the clan, the king of the county of the outer domain, and those princes and uncles are all a head below him, but the king of Tang is the king of the clan......

Of course, it's just politeness.

Zhu Yujian, a general under the Yunnan Metropolitan Governor's Office, who controlled the new rank of the Ming Dynasty, hurriedly returned the salute to his boss, Yang Dadu.

He's not even a governor!

The new military rank system of the Ming Dynasty has been implemented, and the highest military rank, the Metropolitan Governor, is actually equivalent to the Generalissimo, but the word marshal is no longer used in the Ming Dynasty, after all, there are many marshals in the Hu Yuan Dynasty, and the streets have long been rotten. On the contrary, the governor of the capital, the governor still has a very high status in the Ming Dynasty, so the highest military rank is the governor of the capital, of course, there is only Yang Qing, and then there is the governor, and the left and right governors are gone, it is a simple governor. This is the military leaders in the past, like Zheng Zhilong, Huang Fei, Cao Youyi, etc., their military ranks are all governors, and Li Guo, who is about to run out of breath, and Zhang Xianzhong, who is suffering from obesity, are also governors.

It's the same as the bald man's first-class general.

Below are the generals and the major generals, who correspond to the commanders and commanders of various places.

Lieutenant General did not.

After all, the Ming army was limited in number.

In total, with the addition of the navy, plus the Jingjiang Domain's guards, which are also counted, two new armies of Zhang Xianzhong's department were also given to the army, and the current regular army of the entire Ming Dynasty is more than 800,000.

There is no need to engage in lieutenant generals and the like.

Similarly, the third level of the lieutenant is also upper and less.

The colonel corresponds to the commander, the major corresponds to the battalion commander, the captain of the sentry, the captain of the second lieutenant, the sergeant is the captain of the junior group, the sergeant is the deputy commander and the outstanding elements of the soldiers, and the other deputy positions are also reduced by one rank. This is the current Ming military rank system, but this is precisely the grade in the past, the standard of salary, and the standard of pension after retirement.

Tang Wang served as a general with the rank of Kunming Metropolitan Commander.

The clan also has the highest military rank, and the rest of the clan does not even have a general in the army, and the highest is the colonel.

"Your Majesty, please be seated!"

Yang Qing made a gesture of please.

King Tang then sat down at a long table in front of him, and there were already a bunch of governors and generals sitting on both sides of this long table, looking up at the protector of the country together like a bald head of the party-state members, and even to the surprise of King Tang, there was a ...... that he had never seen before

The latter smiled at him.

"Liu Wenxiu."

Xia Wanchun, who was acting as his secretary behind King Tang, said in a low voice.

Tang Wang nodded slightly at Liu Wenxiu.

The Tang Mansion in Nanyang was broken by Li Zicheng, and his younger brother Zhu Yuzhen was also killed by Li Zicheng, he and Zhang Xianzhong have no enmity, as for the bunch of clans that Zhang Xianzhong killed, of course he chose to forgive! He has no relationship with these wastes, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than an ancestor three hundred years ago, on the contrary, there are still quite a lot of business contacts between him and Zhang Xianzhong over the years, after all, he wants to trade with the outside world in Kunming, and the nearest one can only be Zhang Xianzhong.

"You're all here, so let's get down to business!"

Yang Qing said with his hands on the table.

Everyone was seated.

"I have been in the Ming Dynasty since the founding of Taizu, it has been nearly three hundred years, three hundred years of soldiers, all four are ambushed, even if there are occasional non-ministers, the army is also afraid of the power of the guilt, dare to resist the power of the people, all of them are wiped out.

However, all beasts and beasts are not all those who can be edified.

One of them is called Myanmar.

Since the reign of Emperor Sejong Jiajing, the rebellion of Mangrui has not paid tribute for more than 100 years, before the Japanese slaves and slaves have been in turmoil, the court has not had time to take care of it, and its descendants have taken the opportunity to openly invade the land of Sanxuan and six comforts, and the Tusi of all ethnic groups can not bear its poison, and have sued the court many times. Since Sejong, the imperial court has also crusaded many times, but the reckless clan is greedy and cunning and does not think about the grace of the Ming Dynasty, and the rebellion has become a great disaster in the southwest.

The second is called the southern palm.

The southern palm, the former Laos Xuanwei Division's hometown!

Since the first year of Yongle Chengzu knife line into tribute, since then the contribution is endless, still known as Gongshun, Sejong Jiajing lost its sigil for the Burmese invasion, Wanli re-entered the tribute, and then also contributed endlessly, Wanli forty years Emperor Shenzong re-gave its sigil. However, he had no time to build a slave to make a disturbance in the court, so he was born without a subordinate, and there was no contribution in 40 years. The empress was merciful and wanted to appease her, so she appointed her chieftain Solina Sawan south of the county king to keep Laos, but in the end she could not make her understand. Recently, the imperial court thought that Burma was not a minister, and it was inevitable that it would invade Laos again, so it wanted to set up a town in Phongsali, but Suo Shi did not know the empress's good intentions and openly resisted.

The third is called Bo mud.

The mud bearer is also a small country in the South Seas.

The first is the most deferential, the tomb of King Bo Ni is still in the southern capital, but his descendants are close to heresy, more than 200 years to forget their ancestors, since far away in the South Seas, the court whip is beyond the reach, although by the Ming canonization but fornication with the Netherlands, blatantly ignoring the court law.

The fourth is called Johor.

He was the king of Manraka first, Zheng He went to the West between Yongle and Chengzu, and the king of Manraka called the minister to pay tribute, and then the court imposed a sea ban with the raid of the Japanese invaders, and the contribution of the king of Malacca was rejected. Later, the Portuguese invaded, Malacca was destroyed, after the Longqing switch, the imperial court to Malacca died so no longer pursued, after the first emperor crossed to the south, only to know that its remnants were founded in Johor, so Her Majesty the Queen reinstated its king as the king of Johor to show the grace of the Ming Dynasty. However, Wang Yang of Johor was obedient, but he actually had different intentions, secretly befriended the Dutch, and even secretly betrayed the Ming Dynasty to the Dutch.

All four of the above feudals must be defeated.

Otherwise, there will be no way to deter the vassals and show the power of my heavenly kingdom! ”

Yang Qing said righteously.

In other words, he can be regarded as a hegemonist face at the moment.

Didn't they give your son a 100-day gift!

All the generals are slandered.

However, I can't say that this is a good thing that everyone is happy about, and the vast majority of the people at this table in front of him are generals of various armies in the south, that is, they have never participated in the northern battle. Liu Zhaoji, Zheng Hongkui, Wang Zhiren, plus Tang Wang Zhu Yujian and Liu Wenxiu, were all unable to make a fortune on the battlefield, seeing that the northern armies made enough money during the period of destroying Jiannu and taking over the north. They have long been unable to hold back, and Yang Qing's round of expansion in the south is clearly to make them rich, whether it is to crusade against Burma or Johor, or even to beat Nanzhang, it is all to make money.

There are also good things in the southern palm.

No matter how bad it is, you can still pick the ivory!

The name of the place means million elephants.

And ivory is a luxury, not to mention that the place actually produces a lot of copper, and there is also tin, in short, going out to beat people is actually the court to pay for it, let the generals go out to make a fortune, and by the way, let the soldiers drink some soup.

But the main thing is that the generals get rich.

If the soldiers used to be cheap, and no one cared about them when they died, then the soldiers would definitely not be happy, and they also needed to worry about the instability of the army's morale, or even the defeat of the deserters. But now the soldiers have a perfect system of military pay and pension, and they have no worries at all, on the contrary, they can make a fortune or make a fortune when they go out, so there is no problem that soldiers are unwilling to fight. In fact, at this time, the soldiers of the Ming army liked to fight as much as the generals, and the Ming army had reached the level that the Great Qin army liked to fight, after all, for the current Huangzhuang yeoman farmers, fighting war was the best way to get ahead.

In that case, what do you care about, in terms of the level of equipment, training, and morale of the Ming army, if you go out, you will beat the enemy.

Is that idle in the parent hair?

The armies of the South have been idle for many years.

"Lord Protector, please give the order! I, the Ming soldiers, will use cannons and bayonets to make all the worlds mighty, so that those barbarians will know the consequences of daring not to kneel at the feet of the empress! ”

Wang Zhiren said.

A group of generals clamored one after another.

"Okay, what I want is for the soldiers to have this kind of spirit!"

Yang Qing said with satisfaction.

"This time we have to divide the troops into three ways.

The Nanyang Naval Division and the 1st Marine Army were responsible for the crusade against Pak Nai and Johor, but they attacked Johor first, after all, Pak Ni was also very deferential before, maybe he would figure it out on his own, and the main thing was to land and occupy the Dragon Tooth Gate.

I can be outright.

Johor has huge tin mines.

The second route was centered on the 18th Army, which ran from Annam along the Li Xian River to Nanzhang, supplemented by the 12th and 13th Armies, but dominated by the 18th Army, and the 12th and 13th Armies were responsible for protecting logistics and preparing reinforcements in Annam, including reinforcements to the Johor Navy. After all, the climate of Nanzhang is different, the two armies were stationed in Hengyang and Ganzhou before, but the climate of Nanzhang is more humid and hot than Hengyang, and the jungle is full of poisoning insects, and the 18th Army has been stationed in Nanning all these years, which is more suitable for this kind of area.

However, after the trade of the southern palm, the three armed forces partnered.

In addition, you will also share the tin mine in Johor, and I can tell you that this tin mine is shared by you, and it will also ensure that future generations will be rich.

The third route is from Yunnan to Burma, and the 17th Army in Yunnan is also transferred to the 14th Army, the 15th Army, and the 24th Army in Sichuan.

I don't care how you beat me.

I will ensure the logistical supply of the armies.

You are responsible for the war, in short, eight armies plus the Nanyang Naval Division, 200,000 troops to crusade against the Nanyang in three ways, I will hear the news of victory in two years. In addition, the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army was set up in Kunming, and Tang Wang served as the commander of the Southern Expeditionary Army to lead all armies, and concurrently served as the commander of the Burmese Front, with Zheng Hongkui, the commander of the Nanning Front, as the commander of the Johor Front, and Liu Zhaoji as the commander of the Lao Front.

200,000 soldiers went down to the South Seas, so that the sky of the South Seas was all over our dragon flag! ”

The Protector waved his arms like a mustache and shouted.

"Let the dragon flag be planted all over the South Seas!"

Tang Wang and the others shouted.
