After more than two months of arduous trekking, the Longteng Army finally arrived at the Xuanfu Division in Longchuan. And Qin Liangyu's army had arrived at the Xuanfu Division in Longchuan ten days earlier, but the two armies did not converge. Zhu Youxiao's request was that the Long Teng Army was only responsible for the main attack, and Qin Liangyu was only responsible for the response.

Wei Dazhong also arrived in Yunnan at this time, and under the auspices of Wei Dazhong, Qin Liangyu and Xiong Tingbi met at Hanlong Pass to discuss the use of troops against Mubang.

"After this official arrived in Yunnan, he found that Mu Bang had returned to the imperial court again, I don't know why His Majesty wanted to use troops against him again?" Wei Dazhong said.

"Once disloyal, not a hundred times, the Mu Bang Han clan, first down and then judged, and then down and then judged, Your Majesty has lost patience, and Mu Bang is weak, and he is not in harmony with Myanmar, which is the test stone of my Longteng Army." Xiong Tingbi explained.

"Wei Futai, the last general thinks that sending troops to Mubang is conducive to Futai's upcoming land reform and return to the stream." Qin Liangyu agreed.

"There will definitely be bloodshed in Yunnan, and the battle in Mubang can completely kill chickens and monkeys, which will be of great help to the implementation of Wei Futai's future land reform and return to the stream. Qin Dudu was originally born in Tusi, and he had more say in all this. Xiong Tingbi said with a smile.

"What is Your Majesty going to do with Mu Bang?" Wei Dazhong asked. Wei Dazhong only knew that Zhu Youxiao asked him to prepare for immigration, but he did not tell him how to deal with Mu Bang.

"The construction of a fortress defense system in Mubang, after the completion of this defense system, can greatly reduce the number of troops stationed in the local area. In addition, the road from Mubang to Longchuan was built to ensure that Mubang and Longchuan were connected. Finally, there is what His Majesty ordered Wei Futai to do - immigration. Xiong Tingbi said.

"What to do with the people of Mubang?" Wei Dazhong then asked.

"It takes manpower to build roads and forts, and Your Majesty means that except for the young women, all the Dingkou of Mubang is used to build roads and forts. Both must be completed within two years, regardless of the cost. And all the young women were given to unmarried men in the empire, which meant to be given to those who were willing to emigrate. Xiong Tingbi said.

"This place is mountainous and evil, Tuntian is still difficult, if you want to complete the construction of the road within two years, it is almost impossible, two years down, there are few people left to build the road, this is really hurtful to the heavens." Wei Dazhong listened to Xiong Tingbi's words and gasped.

"If there is enough manpower and money, it can be completed within two years, and this time the road and the fort will use a lot of cement." Xiong Tingbi said.

"Cement?" Wei Dazhong asked suspiciously.

"Yes, its use is similar to glutinous rice juice, but it is better than glutinous rice juice. Tai Kangbo built a cement workshop in Sichuan as early as the beginning of the year, and a large amount of cement has arrived in Longchuan at this time, and Wei Futai can go to see it. In order to speed up the construction of the fortress and the gallop road, Tai Kangbo was already preparing to build a cement workshop in Longchuan. Xiong Tingbi explained.

"It's the first time I've heard of this thing, and I'll wait for the Japanese official to see in person what this cement is?" Wei Dazhong said.

"Also, the garrison of Mubang will not participate in the tuntian, and the issue of food and salary will be solved by the imperial court and the local government." Xiong Tingbi reminded.

"Chen Yongbin, the former governor of Yunnan, once said that this place is evil, and those who can't cultivate it. However, the food problem of the garrison is the most critical. Wei Dazhong said.

"The army can't farm, but it doesn't mean that the people can't farm, Wei Futai only needs to ask His Majesty for Mu Bang tax exemption for three years, and the last general believes that Mu Bang will be able to be self-sufficient. Of course, the liuguan and local officials appointed by Wei Futai are also very important, and the change of land and return to the stream has not been successful, which has a great relationship with the rule of officials. Qin Liangyu said affirmatively.

The great thing about the Chinese is that they can grow food even in the cracks of the stones, which may be one of the reasons why the Han people have survived thousands of years and countless hardships.

"The problem of the rule of officials, when the official came to Yunnan, he had already heard a little, but at this time, it was intertwined, and it was not a day's work, but in the new place of Mubang, the official can definitely guarantee to solve the problem of the rule of officials." Wei Dazhong said.

"Admiral Xiong, this time to send troops to Mubang, Hanfeng of Mubang will definitely fall back to the Burmese thieves, as the saying goes, the soldiers are fast, and the last general recommends that you send troops as soon as possible to take Mubang as soon as possible." Qin Liangyu suggested. Qin Liangyu's rank is not lower than Wei Dazhong and Xiong Tingbi, but Wei Dazhong and Xiong Tingbi are both literati, so she naturally puts her position a little lower.

"Before the expedition, His Majesty had asked his ministers to use Mubang as a touchstone for the new army, so the new army must go through a big battle before it can really grow. What's more, in order to eliminate the Burmese thieves' attempt to attack Mubang, the general believed that it was necessary to defeat the Burmese thieves in the front, so as to ensure that the Burmese thieves would not dare to invade Mubang again after the withdrawal of the army, and to ensure peace for several years. Xiong Tingbi said.

"Then Admiral Xiong, what are you going to do next?" Wei Dazhong asked.

"With the fortress as the core, advancing layer by layer, when the Mubang is taken, the defense system of the fortress has been built, as long as there is no problem with the grain and grass, I would have thought that the matter of the Mubang could be ended before December, and the class returned to the dynasty in December." Xiong Tingbi said confidently.

"Don't worry about the grain and grass problem, the official will find a way to help you solve it." Wei Dazhong assured. Now that Nenu has money, are you afraid of running out of food if you have money?

"Then there is Lao Wei Futai!" Xiong Tingbi said politely.

……

Just when the Longteng army arrived in Yunnan, Han Feng had already received the news that the Ming was going to use troops against him. The total number of troops in the entire Mubang is only 10,000, and this time Daming mobilized nearly 50,000 troops, which has the feeling of a lion fighting a rabbit.

At this time, Han Feng had to turn to Anabilon of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma for help, Anabilon was one of the more accomplished kings of the Taungoo Dynasty, and during his reign, he recovered all the lost territory of Lower Burma. At this time, Mu Bang's request for help was a rare opportunity for him to regain the territory of the Mang Yinglong period. But at this time, he was still facing the threat of forces such as Siam and Mon, and was unable to mobilize more forces. In the end, Anabilon raised 30,000 troops to support Mubang.

At this time, the vanguard of the Longteng Army of 5,000 people had already left Hanlong Pass and entered Mubang, their purpose was two, one was to spy on Mubang's military intelligence, and the second was to capture Zhuangding to build the first fortress.

These 5,000 people have not encountered any resistance since they entered Mubang. Because Han Feng shrank all his forces back to Mubang. After arriving at their destination, the 5,000 vanguard began to sweep around the perimeter, waiting for the arrival of the army.

Xiong Anwen's troops were responsible for the sweep of the cottage in the south today.
