"Your Highness, the Hongmen fleet has arrived at the city-state of my Da and surrounded the city-state."

Ava is out of the royal capital, and there is still a bit of indigenous clothing on his body, but he is more imitating the Han King Talon and sitting on the throne.

"What? They are so big!! ”

His face sank, and he shouted loudly, but no matter how he looked at it, he was a little inward-looking.

Although they had already communicated with the important ministers in the country, they had already made a decision that was not good for Hongmen, but they didn't expect that their actions had not come out yet, but the opponent they were going to deal with had already been killed in front of the gate of the kingdom.

"Send an army to Lone and drive this group of arrogant people out of the kingdom!"

"And their minions, plundering the wealth of our country, fish and flesh for the people, they really deserve to be killed! Send me an army and put their shop men in prison, and their property into the treasury. ”

"Your Highness is angry, this is no longer the time to make a move, the other party's intention is obvious, I am afraid that I have learned the news that our dynasty is about to be unfavorable to its chamber of commerce, and the use of force at this time is more to deter our dynasty."

"If you really fight with the other party, I'm afraid there will be no room for turnaround!"

The Burmese Prime Minister Agung hurriedly stepped forward, intending to stop the angry King Talon from making unfavorable moves, and persuaded him.

"Of course, the necessary battle preparations cannot be left behind, it just so happens that 30,000 infantry troops, 5,000 horse troops and 1,000 elephant soldiers have been gathered outside the city of Ava, so it is better to go to support the Daqi city-state first."

"Forgive him for the ten warships of the Hongtang fleet, and they will definitely not dare to face the edge of our Burmese army and lightly open the border constitution!"

The noble class of the gentry to which Agung belonged had agreed to exert pressure on the Hongmen to restrict their trade operations in the Burmese kingdom.

But in terms of means, Agung and they are more inclined to moderate means, and they are not willing to really make trouble unless they have to.

After all, compared with the Burmese royal family, the aristocracy had closer trade contacts with Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, and although there were contradictions between them, they were not as urgent as the royal family, on the contrary, the benefits they gained in the Age of Discovery were enough to make up for some of the losses.

Therefore, from the perspective of the future, the Burmese aristocracy not only hoped to limit the frenzied plundering of the territory of their kingdom by Qi Xintang and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, but also hoped that through these merchants, they could sell their goods abroad in exchange for more money.

"Humph!"

King Talon snorted coldly, and the dissatisfaction on his face flashed, but it was quickly suppressed by his reason: "Then ignore his provocation against our army?" ”

"Your Highness can send someone to reprimand him, and express his dissatisfaction to Li Tianyang, the head of Hongmen's own department, and his subordinate Qixintang, so as to send troops to control Qixintang's industries and men in our country first."

Agung also knew that if he did not make some tough gestures at this time, he would lose the prestige of the Burmese kingdom and make outsiders look down on him.

It's just that this measure has to be controlled, but there is a strong confidence in fighting the Burmese kingdom on land, the predecessor and the present world, and the Han army has fought countless times, at least from the surface of the data, they are rarely defeated in the face of the army.

However, in terms of judging the strength of the sea, the Burmese royal family and the military also have self-knowledge, and the little strength of their naval division can still be called king and hegemony in the endless rivers of the country, but soon it is placed on the vast sea, and the whole country will not be able to muster dozens of sailors like the "Jiaolong-style" battleships of the Hongtang fleet, what can they do to confront and fight with the Hongtang fleet on the sea!

"Hmmm......"

King Talon felt reluctant to regain some face, and finally after contemplating for a long time, he gave one word: "Quasi!" ”

Through the advice of Prime Minister Agung, the powerful state apparatus of the Kingdom of Burma soon began to move, and countless troops gathered under the royal capital in the early stage abandoned their previous purpose and quickly advanced towards the city-state of Tachong in the south.

Among the supporting armies of Burma, the most striking thing is a group of behemoths, an army of more than 1,000 adult elephants, on a bamboo saddle that resembles a platform, sitting two knights, and a lot of supplies.

This is the cavalry that the Burmese dynasty is most proud of, and it is also the killer weapon that they consider invincible in the world - elephant soldiers.

Relying on this native army, the Burmese kingdom once defeated the powerful cavalry kingdom of Mongolia across Asia and Europe, allowing it to return to this remote and small country. Relying on this powerful oppressive army, like a tank in the animal kingdom, the Kingdom of Burma also defeated the strong invasion of the Ming Dynasty and ensured the independent existence of the kingdom.

The previous achievements made the Burmese kingdom full of confidence in this war, and it was also the kingdom that became the first of the Nanyang countries to be ready to exert pressure on the Hongmen.

"Report!"

"Foreign guard intelligence said: The Kingdom of Burma provided support to the city-state, with a total of 10,000 infantry, 1,000 elephant soldiers, and 3,000 cavalry."

"At the same time, the industries of my Qixintang and the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce in the royal capital of Ava have been controlled by the Kingdom of Burma, and the industries in various places are also being gradually controlled."

The intelligence gathering work of the foreign guards was so rapid that almost as soon as the Burmese court concluded the discussion and issued the order, the foreign guards had already obtained the plans and movements of the Burmese high-level.

Over the years, the Hongmen not only plundered the Nanyang kingdoms economically through Qixintang, but also infiltrated these kingdoms through foreign guards. From the very beginning, Hongmen was extremely aggressively prepared, but Li Tianyang never thought that the attitude of the Nanyang countries would be as gentle as the previous dynasties of China.

Of course, this is also related to Li Tianyang's back-end plan when he was full of uncertainty about the future and lack of confidence in his team.

Now it seems that this advance layout has really brought a lot of convenience to Hongmen without intentionally inserting willows.

The work of the foreign guards is not only to install Hongmen spies in the middle and low levels of the Nanyang countries, but also to bribe the important ministers of the middle and upper echelons of the kingdom through business and trade groups such as Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

In the face of money and interests, not only Han Chinese have become traitors, but there are also many people in other countries who sell their own interests in exchange for their personal interests.

Moreover, in the Nanyang countries, which have been immersed in Chinese culture for countless years, there are not a few literati who are the center of Chinese culture, and there are also many radicals who feel that the Han people are superior. Naturally, when buying these literati, the difficulties encountered by the Hongmen guards were far less than when they bought officials from other forces.
