Wusong River is an island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, where warships gather, is the nest of sailors.

The team of this sailor was the remnants of Jiading, and was sent to the sea by Hou Xuanyan to start as pirates, and their main targets of plunder were the original Francos and Dutch, of course, this disgraceful history will not be recognized.

Fan Xian has been promoted to the deputy commander of the Songjiang Naval Division, and Yao Yiyao, who has taken the post of commander, has devoted himself to the research and development of firearms in the Dengzhou Arsenal, and almost does nothing, making Fan Xian, a well-oiled Jiading Po Zhuang, become a general who supports the army.

In the lobby of the Sailor Office, Fan Xian held the holy decree in his hand, and Xie En got up after receiving the decree and ordered the little eunuch who passed the decree to be sent to rest.

After sitting down, Fan Xian said: "Your Majesty has a decree to let the monarch of Fanguo, who can reach all the warships of our sailors, let them come to Jinling at the end of the year."

The generals followed him to receive the order just now, and they had already heard it clearly, and they nodded one after another.

Fan Xian immediately sent someone to give an order, so that the fastest ships rushed to the small country on the border of the South China Sea to give an order. As for Jingbei Province in Mobei, it has also received this holy decree, and many khanates here have been subdued, and they are definitely willing to come to Jinling for a trip.

Of course, the earliest is Li Zhuolin, who arrived early, he is the future prince of North Korea, and his father is about to succeed to the throne in Seoul, just waiting for Hou Xuanyan's canonization.

Tokugawa Iemitsu also began to prepare early, and Japan was already stable, which was unprecedented stability, so that he could go to sea with confidence.

A big drama of all nations coming to the dynasty is about to start in Jinling City, and the news about these countries in the Di newspaper has been dominating the version for four consecutive days.

At this time, Nanyang had undergone earth-shaking changes, and Burma, the overlord of Nanyang, encountered Peng Zhuze's 200,000-strong army on the border.

When they met on a narrow road, the Burmese soldiers were not inferior in numbers, and there were also elephant soldiers on whose conquest of the South Seas they relied on.

This huge animal, with a long trunk, was tamed and then carried into battle, and it was very powerful.

In particular, the deafening cry is a huge deterrent to the war horse, whether it is the size or the voice, it is superior in terms of momentum.

Although he had known the other party's trump card for a long time, when he really saw it, all the soldiers, including Peng Zhuze, were still shocked.

They were thick-skinned and hardly harmed by ordinary bow shots, but Burmese soldiers could shoot arrows from the backs of elephants.

Peng Zhuze ordered a formation of wild goose feathers, the two wings protruded and outflanked forward, and then the artillery began to attack.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom, a huge cannon sounded, although the Burmese soldiers had been prepared to plug the elephant's ears, but it was still difficult to resist the roaring cannon.

Behind the sword and shield soldiers in the front row, the musketeers overcame the fear in their hearts and forcibly fired.

The muskets struck the elephant's skin, and the pioneers slowly slowed down. Especially with the artillery attack, the elephants' mounts slowly became agitated.

Elephants are elephants after all, and it is impossible for man to tame them like horses, and many elephants raise their front hooves and make anxious noises, and their riders roar and whip vigorously, but with little success. In fact, it is not uncommon for elephant soldiers to attack their own masters, because this huge animal is difficult to tame completely. Fifty years ago, the Siamese and the Burmese fought because the elephant ridden by the prince of Siam suddenly came into heat and chased the Burmese elephant day, causing the Burmese elephants to be frightened and flee and trample on their own soldiers and horses.

Peng Zhuze pointed to the scene in front of the battle, laughed, pinched his waist and said: "This Burmese elephant soldier is also a trick to scare children, and if he really meets us, it is like a thing." Let the artillery battalion concentrate its firepower, focus on their elephants, and blow them to death. ”

The heralds around him waved the command flag, and after a while, the artillery roared loudly, and this time the shelling became more intensive, and the craters on the ground were filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and even the air became turbid.

Before they could go head-to-head, the Burmese had already suffered heavy casualties, their bows and arrows had less than a third of the range of their muskets, and their lethality was unmatched.

The elephant soldiers, who relied on the battle, became the culprits who trampled on their own people, and the battlefield soon showed a one-sided trend.

Although the Burmese general Mang Gutong knew that the Ming Dynasty was not easy to mess with, there was no such disparity in strength when they fought each other in Yunnan before, and the Burmese soldiers even often had the upper hand at that time. They mainly lost in terms of national strength and heritage, rather than in the combat power of the war, so although Burma's national strength declined because of the attack on the Ming Dynasty, it also forcibly seized some land on the border of Yunnan. It is precisely because of this that the Burmese have not been very afraid of the Ming Dynasty, believing that if they abandon those cities, they will never be the opponent of their elephant soldiers.

More than 300 elephants, stimulated by artillery fire, drove them to flee to the rear. No matter how restrained the riders were, they could no longer stop these big guys from charging into their rear. The Ming army under Yanling's formation had made up their minds to surround them from the very beginning, and of course they would not let go of these Burmese soldiers who had already seen defeat.

The musketeers on both flanks were half-crouching and shooting, harvesting the lives of the routers, and the Chinese infantry was slowly advancing.

It was like turning on an efficient killing machine, and the Ming army, which just restrained the elephant soldiers, won the first battle at the border of Jingnan Province, pushing this line westward for a day and a night.

If you can seize the enemy's position, the enemy will give in, and if you can surprise the enemy, the enemy will be defeated. Always attack the shortcomings with the strengths, not the shortcomings to attack the strengths, don't give up the easy and try to be difficult, don't know yourself and forget the other. This passage in the Art of War is the best commentary on this battle.

The army of Burma was killed in a battle, and most of the captives were left behind, and it can be said that it is a miracle that they can be captured alive under the swords of soldiers and horses commanded by Peng Zhuze.

Peng Zhuze was the first to take 2,000 native soldiers to fight in Sichuan with Hou Xuanyan, and Hou Xuanyan's combat style was familiar with it. At that time, whether it was a warlord who plagued Sichuan and Shu, or a traitor who fought for the tiger, or a Manchurian slave who did not share the sky. As long as he was defeated, Hou Xuanyan rarely left a living mouth, which also caused Peng Zhuze's bloody attitude towards the captives.

Later, they fought against the Southwest Tusi for four years, and the conditions can be said to be extremely difficult, because the Tusi ruled their territory for too long, and various relationships were intricate and deeply rooted in the Southwest. If you are not careful, you will be betrayed, and once you are defeated, you will definitely die, because both Peng Zhuze and Tusi know that this is a life-and-death struggle, and the winner is the last person alive.

But today he put away the killing, because Hou Xuanyan's order came, Burma will implement the same policy as Annam, if hundreds of thousands of young people are killed, the country will not be of much use after being tamed, and it may have to pull grain from the rich places in the Central Plains and Jiangnan for relief.
