There is so much population shortage, with a population of less than two million in the whole of Myanmar, there is simply no way to develop too many areas.

Xiao Ruxun didn't want to waste the precious Hermes-Epitek labor force to do the rough work of opening up mountains and wasteland, so he could only target those Donghu remnants who had always been restless.

It's just that since ancient times, marching and fighting to conquer countries have all needed reasons, and Xiao Ruxun is no exception, and he also needs reasons, not before, but now there are, and those missionaries are Xiao Ruxun's reasons.

Xiao Ruxun had already discussed a full set of countermeasures with Yuan Huang before leaving, and Yuan Huang only needed to transfer troops according to Xiao Ruxun's arrangement before leaving.

Of course, there is one more thing to do before that.

"All the generals are here, and they all know the reason why the old man called you over, so the old man won't say much, the remnants of the Dongwu Kingdom have rebelled, killed the Francos we sent over, attacked our border garrison, and acted recklessly!

Before leaving, Xiao Hou had instructed, once the remnants of the Dongwu Kingdom rebelled, they must make every effort to clean up, so that no one of them can slip through the net, so as to prevent future troubles, now the total strength of our army is 30,000, there are 3,000 garrisons in Luzon, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses to follow Xiao Hou to the north to fight against the north, and now in addition to the navy, our army can only use 20,000 troops, the number is too small, therefore, Xiao Hou instructed, when the troops are not enough, the reserve can be incorporated into the regular army, expand the army! ”

As soon as Yuan Huang gave an order, the generals of the four major battalions of the infantry army began to get excited, because once the army was expanded, the main target of the expansion was the four battalions of the Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu under their command.

In their opinion, the cavalry is limited to the number of horses and terrain restrictions of the Zhennan army, and the 3,000 cavalry is enough, and the two major battalions of the cavalry army do not need to increase their troops, and the artillery battalion is self-contained, with its own reserve artillery, and the infantry cavalry is trained separately, and it cannot be controlled.

Therefore, this expansion of the army is mainly the expansion of the four battalions of the infantry army.

Sure enough, Yuan Huang ordered directly.

"With the four battalions of the Green Dragon and White Tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu to complete the task of expanding the army to 10,000 within seven days, the military parade early in the morning after the seven days, the old man wants to see 40,000 capable soldiers! Let's see if you really care about your usual training! ”

Yuan Huang gave an order, and the eight main generals of the four major battalions agreed in unison.

"The last general commands!"

"The two battalions of the cavalry wolf and the lion have each expanded to two thousand five hundred, and the old man needs to see five thousand cavalry at that time!"

The generals of the infantry army were stunned for a moment, looked at the four main generals of the cavalry, and saw that the four generals of the cavalry looked excited, obviously waiting for this day for a long time.

"Sir, do we have so many horses?"

Zhao Hu asked suspiciously: "Usually ask them the cavalry battalion to use war horses, and they are all stingy." ”

Yuan Huang smiled slightly: "At that time, there were not many rich war horses, but now there are, the day before yesterday, the first batch of war horses ordered by Xiao Hou and Arab merchants A total of 2,000 have arrived, and there will be war horses coming over in the future, Xiao Hou decided to buy at least 10,000 war horses to expand the army and cavalry." ”

The infantry generals looked at each other and gasped.

10,000 horses! How much silver does that have to be?

It's just that everyone still doesn't understand, does this part of Burma need so many cavalry?

"The artillery battalion will go north with Xiao Hou for 1,000, the garrison Luzon will be 1,000, and there will be 3,000 left, and the army will be expanded to 5,000 in seven days, there must be no mistake!"

Shi Ke, the deputy general of the artillery battalion, clenched his fists and led the order.

"Yes!"

Well, the artillery battalion has also expanded, which means ......

The Zhennan Army has expanded in an all-round way, and it is about to fight a hearty battle.

"We will not expand the army for three years, and we will not wait for three years to become combat effectiveness.

The generals clenched their fists.

"Don't dare to make a mistake!"

Yuan Huang nodded.

"Good! The 20,000 army has been expanded to 50,000, the old man does not want to see the army's combat effectiveness drastically reduced, we are about to face the remnants of Dongwu with a strength of 100,000 and millions of mouths, and the size of the army will not be less than the regular army of Dongwu Country that we dealt with at the beginning, and the number of our army is also more than at the beginning, but Xiao Hou cannot participate in this battle, can the generals have the confidence to win this battle? ”

The generals clasped their fists and shouted in unison: "Yes! ”

"Good! Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, Daming and Xiao Hou need you now! You must be worthy of the military salary of the Ming Dynasty, worthy of the care and training of Xiao Hou, worthy of the country, and worthy of paying taxes to support your people! Early in the morning of the seventh day, the military parade of the West Colonel of Nan'an City was set out! ”

"Yes!"

The generals clasped their fists and saluted, and then slowly withdrew from the Zhennan Hou Mansion.

Looking at the back of the generals leaving, Yuan Huang didn't have much worry in his heart.

Although there was no Xiao Ruxun in this battle, the strength of the Burmese town has far surpassed the remnants of Dongwu, in Yuan Huang's view, those Dongwu remnants are clowns, and the organization and combat effectiveness of the weapons and ordnance army are far inferior to the well-trained Zhennan army.

All kinds of circumstances are combined, the military strength of the Zhennan Army is crushing to the remnants of Dongwu, and there is no possibility of any miss, once the war starts, it will inevitably be like a bamboo, and it will soon destroy them.

What's more, the Zhennan army has been planning for this battle for a long time, and has a detailed investigation and demonstration of their terrain and garrison and the troops that can be mobilized.

The only thing to worry about now is the arrangement of prisoners after the war, although it has long been planned how to place these prisoners, how to squeeze their labor force to the maximum extent and then send them to death, but it still needs to be a lot of twists and turns in practice.

But these are no longer the most important issues, the most important thing is that this battle is a foregone conclusion, and they must be eliminated and the last hidden danger of Burma Town must be eliminated.

After three years of sharpening his sword, once he showed his sword, he shouldered Xiao Ruxun's unparalleled trust and ambition, Yuan Huang couldn't allow himself to make any mistakes, he had to master everything and plan it well.

He even felt that his current situation was a bit similar to Zhuge Liang at the beginning, except that Xiao Ruxun was much more powerful than Liu Chan, but now that he was not there, wasn't he Zhuge Liang who oversaw the military and political power?

He never imagined that he could become a figure like Zhuge Wuhou today, leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the enemy, realize his life value ideals, and realize his promise to the people he trusts.

This feeling is really special!

Yuan Huang silently opened the box on the table in front of him, and the seven jade talismans of the army were neatly arranged in the box, which was a token of troop transfer left by Xiao Ruxun to Yuan Huang, and it was a symbol of military power.

He trusts me so much and entrusts me so much, how can I not serve him?

I am already in my sixtieth year, and I have no other wishes in this life, that is, I want to leave a strong mark in the history books, and I am worthy of his trust.

This battle must be successful!
