Chapter 574: Li Chengdong's Battle of Burma 2
It can be seen from the many battles between the Ming army and Burma during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty that the Ming army is powerful, but the Ming Dynasty is a self-defense counterattack every time, and every time someone else kills in, burns and loots, they gather forces to beat the enemy out, and everything is fine, and the enemy comes in three times and twice, and is furious, and then sends troops out again, attacks into Burma, and then withdraws again.
And from the history of our country, in the face of the invasion of these small countries in Southeast Asia, why are the Chinese Han people so weak?
It may be related to the comfort in the character of the Han people, they don't seek to solve things completely, they always have to get by, they are satisfied with reality, endure hardships, and dare not show their tough side, or there is no blood at all, Japan is like this, and the small countries in the southeast are like this, they always want to bully their own people, father and brother kill each other for a little inheritance, father and son turn against each other, but they don't know that they went out to rob others and solved the matter soon?
Patience is a good thing, wailing peace is a good thing, wailing is not a typo, but this is what it means, peace is wailed by the Chinese Han people, not typed, and in the world, the real peace in this world is made.
Why did Zhang Qiang appoint Li Chengdong as the general of this expedition to Burma?
Because you look at what Li Chengdong did, you know, when he was still a general of the Great Shun Army, he was unknown, when he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, in order to express his heartfelt intentions, he was like a bamboo, to the Hongguang court, to the Southern Ming court, like a god possessed, cruel to the Han people, it can be said that the massacre done by the Qing army in the south, he accounted for 80 percent, hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, and killed without frowning, and none of the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty was his opponent.
But his conscience found that when he took refuge in Nanming, he was helpless in the face of the Qing army, with more than 100,000 troops in his hands, but he was in a mess, as if he had been under a spell, and he did not have the previous bravery.
And this time in the face of the Burmese conquest, he began like a divine help, pouring thousands of miles, killing nearly hundreds of miles of land in Burma, burning, killing and looting, as if returning to the moment of following the Qing army, and marching and fighting, there is a plank and an eye, the Burmese natives have no way to take him, the cities have been bulldozed and burned down one by one, and even Li Dingguo, who sent him, lamented that he was not as good as him in fighting against the Burmese.
Although he had penetrated hundreds of miles into Burma and occupied a huge territory, Li Chengdong still persevered, ignoring the pleading of Burma, and continued to go deeper, until he reached the vicinity of Mandela.
If it weren't for the lack of troops and supplies, weapons and ammunition, he would have taken Mandela City long ago.
At this time, the hundreds of thousands of troops and people he brought with him were distributed in the vast mountains and forests and land from the border of the Ming Dynasty to Mandela within a radius of several hundred miles, and firmly controlled this land.
Li Dingguo divided the hundreds of thousands of prisoners captured in the early stage into Burma in batches, serving as a civilian man and a defensive force, as well as the people, tuntian, building houses, building bridges and opening roads, Zhang Qiang meant to send these captives to Burma, so that these Han people, Tusi aborigines, Ming army, Qing army Han people took root in Myanmar, completely occupied the land of Myanmar, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, the Ming army withdrew, and within a few months, the Burmese army returned to the Yunnan border, wantonly burned and looted, occupied territory, and undermined stability. The Ming Dynasty was like this, and the Huaxia army would not let them do so.
Although the Han court has been in the past dynasties because of the strange climate in these places, dense mountains and forests, far away from the center, difficult to manage, and many barbarians, but the Huaxia army has Zhang Qiang, a person who has crossed in later generations, even if it is difficult, it is necessary to completely wipe out these indigenous people, and the United States is very good, except for a reckless and uninhabited and more obedient and friendly Canada, a weak and young Mexico, Cuba is just a small trouble, and it is separated by a sea, and the islands around the United States are all their own, unlike the islands around China, a large problemThis fight, that fight, a strong country should be quiet all around.
If these small countries do not cause trouble, but live in peace with China, they complement each other, but how is it possible, even the neighbors of ordinary people often have quarrels, often unaccustomed to it, it is impossible to get along in harmony, but under a stable regime, neighbors can tolerate each other and help each other because they look up and do not look down, but they can be different from country to country, their interests are 100,000 square kilometers of land at every turn, or if you lose face, your own people will not forgive you, and they will look down on you, Can you still rule this way?
Of course, China is a big country, many times like to slap a swollen face and become fat, and most of them don't think so, if you are bullied, you can't get anything out of hitting such a small country, they are all some poor and remote places, and the pay and return are not cost-effective, and what you lose is only some small profits when you are bullied, at most, when you are annoyed, you can beat these small countries regardless of interests, and you still have to get along with small countries after you are done, forget it.
And a small country is a white-eyed wolf, people don't have to scruple about anything, beat you, you won't trouble me when you turn back, or you still can't help me after you find trouble, just like the gangsters of later generations, they bully individuals, and the bullied people can't kill them, that's to break the law, and what is lost after breaking the law is the dignity and majesty of the law, and what is lost is the face of a big country.
This nature is different, so the intruder must go to prison, must go to prison, must pay for his life, but the gangsters are afraid at first, and then even if they kill someone, they will not necessarily lose their lives if they leave, or go to prison, and after they come out, everyone is even more afraid of them.
Just like an official who goes to school for further study, and after coming out, he is promoted and raised, and going to prison is the promotion of the value and power of the gangsters, they are eager to go to further their studies, and then come out more materially, dissatisfied, dissatisfied, I have been in prison, be careful that I kill your whole family, so the gangsters are even more powerful, and the bullied people can only swallow their anger in such a situation, and secretly sigh that they are unlucky.
When they hit a big country, the big country was silent, but it fueled their arrogance, you see that they are afraid of me and dare not do anything to me, so they are even more powerful in front of other small countries.
Other small countries thought, oops, why didn't I think of it, so they imitated, the effect of imitation is good, the big countries really don't dare to do anything with them, fight over, your big country loses troops and loses generals, even if you win, there is nothing to fish, anyway, my family is in tatters, as for the people are killed, the city is breached, who can care, anyway, if I can defeat the big country once one day, the people have to applaud me.
Why not do such a thing with little risk and big benefit?
So these small countries in Southeast Asia all border China do this, they are not as harmful as the barbarians on the grassland, but they can't get rid of the dog skin plaster, and it can always make the court of the big country feel a headache, at this time some people say, give some silver and let them settle down, some people think it's okay, anyway, the silver is not in their pockets, it is deducted from the people, who is given is not giving, anyway, the right not to give is in me.
These small countries have become another bloodsucking worm for the people of the big ones.
Now, Zhang Qiang's Huaxia Army, who has mastered the entire southern power of the Ming Dynasty, does not believe them like this, the Wanli Ming Dynasty and the Burmese War is only a matter of one or two decades, and it is not far from here, not to mention that there is Burma's disobedience, often stirring up trouble, so that these ethnic minorities on the border often rebel against each other, and they can also flee to Myanmar after the rebellion.
Fighting, only by destroying them, destroying the country is not counted, just like the United States, it is possible to completely exterminate it, the hearts of non-our races will be different, and the people who are not on our territory will work together to compare evil, this is because many people in the land of Myanmar, these small countries in Southeast Asia, are Han people or ethnic minorities in the border areas, and the Han culture can be here, but it cannot become the ruling culture.
The culture of Burma is also deep-rooted, old, do not eliminate the natives, the character of the Han people can not be friendly to the Han regime after the character comes, but because these Han people escaped from the land of China, either bitter hatred of the Han people, or have no good impression of the Han people, so the country and regime they established have become the lackeys of the United States and the accomplices of the Japanese in later generations.
When the Japanese invaded Burma, they left countless seeds on the treasure island, Korea, and even further away in Malay, Indonesia, and Australia, and later generations of these countries can be regarded as the Altaic language family of the Japanese lineage, and Greater East Asia is to have the Altaic language system for the whole of Asia, not the Chinese language family.
No matter how powerful the peoples on the grassland are, their language family is actually Han Chinese, due to frequent contact and constant wars, they have a great chance of being assimilated, but these people in Southeast Asia cannot be assimilated because of different concepts and language families.
When the Han people came, they could only be assimilated.
What Li Chengdong, the executioner, was sent to do was actually similar to Lao Mei's conquest of the Americas.
The commander of the baggage team to transport food and weapons and equipment to Li Chengdong was Li Chengdong's righteous son, and at that time in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the last years, that general did not accept a few righteous sons.
The barbarian attack is like a tide of waves, wave after wave, even these in the Ming Dynasty after a hundred battles, the age of twenty-five to thirty-two years old veterans have complained, can not resist, many people hand and foot cramps, numb mechanical waving of the weapons in their hands, such a state, casualties inevitably increased, the general had to use the people on top, will be seriously injured, or tired soldiers can not be replaced.
Although the people are strong, their combat effectiveness is not at all as tenacious as that of the soldiers under the control, and they cannot cooperate, so they will soon fall and gradually decrease, and the defense line may be broken through.
At this moment, only a whimpering horn sounded, and the Burmese indigenous warriors retreated like a tide, and everyone's hearts were lightened, and they all sat down on the ground.
Panting for breath, the dismounted cavalry behind them came running and carried the soldiers of the people and soldiers to the rear to rest, and they changed into armor, armed with arquebuses, and took the place of the soldiers in the defense.
