372 The Ming Dynasty returned to Nanyang
When night fell, countless torches were lit on the battlefield, reflecting each other, illuminating a dim ground, and the tents that the Burmese army had not taken away and were not damaged became the trophies of the Ming army, so that the Ming army who did not have time to set up camp had a place to stay, and the mountains of food gave the Ming army the best comfort.
Speaking of which, Zhao Hu's cavalry assault failed to burn all the food of the Burmese army, but was rescued by the miscellaneous soldiers who followed a lot, and then took it away, and scattered it all over the place, and no one cleaned it up under the chaos, and even bags of grain were thrown in the tent and no one cared about it, and there was a lot of meat in the warehouse that no one cared about, and all these things belonged to the Ming army.
After the war, according to the usual practice, the soldiers were to be rewarded, especially after the big victory, even more so, the Ming Siamese coalition army defeated the Burmese army with inferior troops, killed the Burmese prince and won a complete victory, it is really unreasonable not to celebrate, Xiao Ruxun directly ordered the Huotou army not to be stingy with food, to make a good meal for the army, Na Ruixuan also took out enough food to treat his soldiers, and also took out more delicious food to Xiao Ruxun.
The Siamese people, who have witnessed the extremely strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army, have more awe of the Ming army, not only the soldiers below, but also Na Ruixuan, who feels a little cautious, and when talking to the Ming army generals, he no longer has the confidence he had before, and Lin Yuanshan, who followed him, was full of longing when he saw Xiao Ruxun, and he didn't know that he thought it was a.
The Japanese, Spaniards and French, who dared to come forward to talk before, are gone, hiding in an unknown place, and they don't even dare to come forward, it seems that they are indeed frightened in this battle, especially in the end, the Ming army appeared, and the Burmese army was quickly collapsed from the front, and the Burmese prince was killed on the spot by Xiao Ruxun.
Although there was no feeling of surprise and surprise with the Burmese army, no one dared to say it, and the Ming army, which killed the Burmese to the ground, was full of murderous intent, and everyone was full of blood, and no one knew if they would pull out their knives and cut people without saying a word.
This is how a Spanish spy wrote a letter to the Philippine Governor-General's Office.
"When we were about to lose, the Chinese suddenly appeared, they didn't know when they sent people to sneak attack the enemy's barracks, set a fire, and caused absolute chaos, but at this time the enemy did not collapse, we were still at a disadvantage, but then, to my heart's content, the Chinese artillery collapsed the enemy who had always had the advantage.
Their artillery seemed to be too numerous to count, and the shells seemed to cost no money, and when I looked up, I saw countless shells passing over my head, falling in the enemy's formation, and then setting off a violent wave of air, causing a violent explosion, and the enemy's corpses were blown up and I couldn't tell where they were, and the blood even drifted to my face and mouth from a distance, and the scene made me wonder if I saw Satan coming.
Then, the Chinese army appeared, they used strange unseen formations, approaching step by step, not retreating at all, attacking with muskets and crossbows at a distance, attacking with knives and spears during the process, and soldiers using shields to protect the safety of the attackers, so that the enemy's weapons could not harm these Chinese soldiers, the enemy could not resist, constantly retreating, and their rear seemed to have more serious problems, I don't know how many soldiers the Chinese used to sneak attack their barracks.
But I can guarantee that the number of Chinese troops is far inferior to us and the enemy, but they used such a number of soldiers, the enemy was completely defeated, the Chinese commander was a very courageous soldier, he rode a horse, armed with a gun, and his guards rushed into the enemy's core position, killed the enemy's commander with one shot, the enemy was completely defeated, and then the Chinese army pursued into the enemy's barracks and won a complete victory.
All this happened so fast that I didn't even have time to react, and by the time I regained consciousness, we had won this victory, a miserable defeat of 100,000 enemies, their corpses filled the land, their blood soaked the land, the Chinese were civilized, polite, respectful of others, but also cruel, bloodthirsty, brave and fearless, counting their own achievements with the heads of the enemy.
May the merciful Lord bless me from being enemies of these terrible people.'"
The Ming army responded to the expectations and doubts of all the surrounding small countries with a hearty victory, and once again proved that the army of the Celestial Empire was invincible, and the fame left by Zheng He was inherited by Xiao Ruxun in its entirety, and pushed to a higher peak, in the years that followed, Xiao Ruxun was able to influence the politics and economy of the entire Southeast Asian region in Burma, and the Western Regions Protectorate of the Western Han Dynasty government had the same effect.
The Ming reaffirmed the unshakable suzerainty in Southeast Asia, and the strategy of returning to the South Seas was realized, and the countries that were still in the tributary system were planning to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and the countries that broke away from the tributary system heard about it, and they were also planning to re-establish tributary relations with the Ming Dynasty, and strive to become a country that did not levy, so as not to be arrested and killed by the Ming as a model.
The prestige of the Ming army spread throughout Southeast Asia and soon after spread back to Europe.
The Battle of Phitsanulok is over, but time is still moving forward, Xiao Ruxun has just finished winning the battle, and he began to think about how to give the soldiers a good meal.
He hit the idea to more than a dozen elephants killed by the Ming army's artillery and crossbows, and the tusks of these elephants were sawed off by the Ming army and presented to their respected commander Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun smiled, did not refuse, and then looked at the elephant's huge body and thought about it.
There is no doubt that the elephant is a mountain of meat, but judging by normal logic, the meat of the elephant must be very rough and difficult to taste, otherwise there would not be so many poachers who only need ivory and do not want elephant meat, and even whether the elephant meat is delicious or not, it is difficult to say whether it can be eaten, so Xiao Ruxun plans to ask the locals.
"Your Majesty, can you eat this elephant meat?"
Xiao Ruxun pulled Na Rui Xuan, who was standing aside, and began to study the question of whether elephant meat is good or not, Na Ruixuan was stunned for a moment and then replied: "Admiral, we have also had people who have eaten elephant meat, saying that elephant meat is not as delicious as ordinary meat, but it is not poisonous, it can be eaten and satisfied, what, does the Admiral want to give these elephant meat to the soldiers?" ”
Xiao Ruxun nodded: "The soldiers are tired after the battle, but I don't have much meat and oil and water for them to eat, so I think about whether I can use these elephant meat instead, it just so happens that I also have some horses killed in battle, and the cave warriors have also captured some horses here, and killed them together to cook broth for the soldiers, as for this elephant meat, it is estimated that it is very rough, or roast it to see if it can be eaten well." ”
Seeing Xiao Ruxun's appearance of exploring how to eat elephant meat, Na Ruixuan's mood was very complicated.
