Mang Yingli doesn't know now, but he should know soon, this war involving the entire Southeast Asia and South Asia, it is impossible to hide it, Xiao Ruxun has no intention of hiding it, and Mang Yingli learns the news sooner or later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This should have been only a local battle, but under Xiao Ruxun's intentional or unintentional operation, it became an international war involving an entire region, except for Siam because of its vital interests and decided to send troops, money and food to fully support the Ming Dynasty, the rest of the Ming vassal states also provided food and fresh water and some local specialty gifts for the Ming fleet along the way.

This is a bit unexpected, because Xiao Ruxun did not intend to re-communicate with these vassal states, only when they did not exist, but before arriving at their coastline, he sent a private letter, saying that he would lead the fleet through their waters, so that their fishermen should not panic, take shelter for the time being, and wait for the fleet to leave before going out to sea to fish, so as not to be accidentally injured by the Ming giant ship, if it is accidentally injured, then the Ming is helpless.

Originally, it was just a friendly condolence and reminder, but what Xiao Ruxun didn't expect was that these kings came forward in person, and they didn't come alone, they came with the entire small government, and they didn't just come with people, but also a lot of materials, they sent a condolence money to the Ming army, not only sent money, grain and native products, but even sent sailors who were good at water operations to help Daming operate the boat, and sent guides who were familiar with sea movements to guide the Daming fleet to avoid the reef.

Their attitude was very courteous, as if they were serving their own parents, saying that this would facilitate the Ming army to fight, and as a vassal state, they were very much looking forward to the Ming Dynasty exterminating the barbarian country established by the barbarians as soon as possible.

In this process, Xiao Ruxun understood a truth.

No matter how deferential the vassal states are, as the suzerain, they still have to show their muscles properly, otherwise, they will become less respectful of the suzerainty over time.

On the surface, they say that they admire the culture of the Ming Dynasty, but in the final analysis, the culture has no force, and it cannot destroy a vassal country that has no culture itself and admires the Chinese culture, they are bent on the Han, and they are eager to take all the culture of the Ming Dynasty for their own use, just like Japan before and now North Korea, the soft power of culture is not as good as the military hard power in this era, or the strong military power of the Ming Dynasty has given them a huge deterrent and pressure, making them more obedient and dare not have a heart of betrayal.

It's like now, Xiao Ruxun didn't let them provide anything at all, but they had to go south along their coastline along the way, and as a result, they asked Daming's fleet to stop at the port to provide various benefits to the Ming army, and the vassal king personally went on the ship to meet Xiao Ruxun and sent the "heart" of the vassal country, Xiao Ruxun personally has, the main generals of Daming also have it, and even the soldiers can get wine and meat, and there are many fruits that can't be eaten in Daming, which is really an unexpected benefit.

Looking at the eyes of those vassal kings, Xiao Ruxun knew that they wanted to see the strength of the Ming army with clear armor and strict military discipline, so Xiao Ruxun took the initiative to invite these vassal kings to watch the prestige of the Ming army, and specially ordered Ma Hu to gather part of the most elite Ningxia firearms battalion under his command, and a part of the wolf soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.

Since then, the level of deference to the Ming in these small states has apparently reverted to its factory settings, and the seemingly forgotten tributary system has been back in operation.

This is an unexpected gain for Daming.

And with the Ming Dynasty returned to Nanyang this matter, the news was finally learned by the Burmese Wang Mang Yingli, he immediately felt that the big thing was not good, this time the strategy of the Ming army is different from the previous strategy, in the past was passively beaten and passive defense, the last Panzhihua defeat did not let them break their muscles and bones, more than ten years of recuperation and recuperation made their military strength more vigorous, after the introduction of European-style firearms troops, combat effectiveness is obviously on a higher level.

But Mang Yingli himself also knows very well that he has made too many enemies around, and if he fights with the surrounding countries while fighting with the Ming Dynasty, it is a taboo for soldiers.

Not to mention, Siam, which is close at hand and has just been restored, is a time bomb, and Na Rui Xuan, who was bullied by him since he was a child, is his big trouble, he has always wanted to kill Na Rui Xuan, but his father likes this kid very much, and even let him receive Portuguese firearms education with the noble children of the Donghu Dynasty when he was a hostage, so that this kid is also well versed in firearms tactics and tactics, the previous battle of the restoration of the country, this kid killed one of his generals with a shot across a river, It directly led to the collapse of his army.

This time the Ming army went south, it was clear that it was to cooperate with Siam, through the border of Siam directly attack the weakness of his defense, a large part of his confidence in the war with the Ming came from the fact that the border between him and the Ming State was difficult for the army to pass, so the Ming army thwarted his attack several times but could not pursue it, so that he had no fear, but this time it was different, the Ming army directly joined forces with the Siamese army, attacking his country from the plains, and his main force in the north was fighting with the Ming army's Yunnan border army, and the situation was very critical.

He realized that Da Ming was completely angered by him, and he came to clean him up just after cleaning up Japan, and it was Xiao Ruxun, the famous general who broke Japan apart, and this time he led the army south, obviously not to deter them, he must have come with the idea of completely solving the border troubles.

Mang Yingli began to be anxious, began to worry, and even began to be a little frightened.

Once the Ming Dynasty gets angry and raises his arms, those small countries that have been bullied by him before and dare not speak up will definitely be ready to move, and once the Ming army and the Siamese army start to attack, his rear will also be unstable.

On the one hand, he ordered his government to prepare all the food, ordnance and firearms needed for the war, and ordered the mobile forces that could still be used to quickly arm them, and then went to the border of Burma and Siam, occupied dangerous terrain and important towns and began to build fortifications, and then he ordered the troops in the north to start withdrawing in batches with the Ming army, and no longer entangled with the Ming army in Yunnan.

He himself led an elite guard to rush out of the royal capital, and began to "visit" the small countries and tribes that he thought would be unfavorable to him in the war, and to solve all the troubles before a full-scale war began.
