In the face of Xiao Ruxun's fast pace and divine thinking, the two generals said that they had not kept up with the pace of thinking, and after they woke up, they realized that what Xiao Ruxun wanted was probably the status and situation of Yunnan Muwangfu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yunnan Mu Wangfu, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty will be Yongzhen Yunnan, although the imperial court also has officials in Yunnan, but the land of Yunnan is not so much the Ming government in management, but rather the Mu family in management, the emperors of the past dynasties will tell them when appointing bureaucrats, in Yunnan, to ask more Mu Wangfu's opinions, when dealing with government affairs, must not bypass Mu Wangfu.

It can be said that it is Mu Ying's credit to be able to knock Yunnan down, to govern Yunnan and make Yunnan completely subordinate to the Central Plains, that is also Mu Ying's credit, it is Mu Ying who tamed the unruly Yunnan Tusi, so that they can honestly call their ministers and pay taxes.

What Xiao Ruxun wants to do is nothing more than to make Burma a second Yunnan, so that the territory of the Ming Dynasty can expand southward to the Indian Ocean and get a southern outlet to the sea, which is not only conducive to the sea power struggle in the maritime era, but also conducive to leaving a glimmer of hope for the Ming Dynasty when necessary, and more importantly, taking advantage of the convenient location here, actively communicating and trading with the West, and getting all the scientific knowledge they currently have to arm their own army.

The eastern army is not without firearms troops, these years, the Burmese, Thai, Vietnamese have firearms troops, the elite level is not under the West, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, maintain dignity and independence, foreigners dare not make a mistake, but why in another two hundred years they will all become colonies? How strange is it that a few thousand Western troops can conquer a Southeast Asian country?

The generational gap in weapons brought about by the leap in science and technology is an important factor that makes the eastern armies weaker than the western armies, and they are arming their armies with science and enhancing the power of firearms through various means, so that firearms have a new look.

In the mainstream era of muskets and arquebuses, the power brought by science and technology is not very large, the power of firearms in China and the West on behalf of the East is not much different, even if it is slightly backward, but in some aspects it is still above the West, there are strengths and weaknesses between each other, and there is not much difference in combat power between each other, the Ming army and the army of any Western country will not suffer losses, and it is not difficult to win, but after the development of firearms to the era of flintlock pistols, everything has changed.

From arquebuses to flintlock pistols, from ignition to bottom fire, from smoothbore to rifle, from front loading to rear loading, Western firearms have undergone earth-shaking changes in the two hundred years since then, and such changes have not been possible to be carried out on the initiative of China, which pursues empiricism and ingenuity, and during that time, it happened to encounter the Manchu Qing Dynasty's closed country and bow and horse state, and the only external factors that could push China forward were also isolated.

It's not just China that has missed the last chance to catch up, it's the entire Eastern countries that have missed this opportunity during that period for all sorts of bizarre reasons, which makes people have to sigh - the will of God is hard to disobey.

Xiao Ruxun will not allow this kind of thing to happen again, in the case of his ability to save the overall situation, all this must be changed, and this idea is even more determined after the war with Japan, after seeing the tragic situation of Japan being beaten by the Ming army because of the backwardness and lack of weapons.

More than 200 years later, that was the end of the Qing army.

Driven by such thoughts, Xiao Ruxun's mind about restarting the light of hope in Myanmar became more and more firm, just like this, he must not let go, but he definitely can't do this kind of thing alone, he needs a lot of helpers and a lot of money to do such a thing.

The coastal residents of Liangguang and Fujian have long had the tradition of going to the South Seas, their local complex is not very serious, and there is also a tradition of daring to fight, so they are the most able to recruit immigrants, among these people, there will be a skilled person to recruit, in Myanmar to work hard to make a career, it is not a very difficult thing to think.

Reclaiming wasteland, developing mineral deposits, and opening up commerce, as long as the political situation is stable, it is definitely not difficult to develop in such a place full of gold.

He told Deng Zilong and Liu Wei about such an idea, and also told some of his other cronies and generals, after getting most of the positive opinions, Xiao Ruxun no longer hesitated, and began to make arrangements, such as using Shi Xing's relationship to arrange his father's retirement, and secretly looking for buyers, and valuing some of the precious antique collections that his father had operated in Beijing for many years, and then selling them.

These things can't be done in a few days, but with my father's personal help, it can also be done very safely, so on the sixth day of the first month of June, under Shi Xing's arrangement, Xiao Ruxun asked to lead the army to attack Dongwu Kingdom, and six days ago, the official document delivered by the Ming Dynasty to Siam State had already moved south, and the army went to Dongwu Country one step ahead.

This time, the imperial court's reply was extremely fast, probably in a hurry to drive Xiao Ruxun away, and the previous preparations were almost ready, the fleet began to load ordnance materials and grain and grass early in the morning, and the troops that needed to be requisitioned along the way were also arranged early, Xiao Ruxun was on the table here, and the army began to arrange for the army to board the ship in Tianjin Wei to prepare for departure, and the whole process took less than three days.

The emperor still didn't come forward, not even a message, a cold decree issued by the cabinet represented the emperor, or the emperor was represented, which was very different from the emperor who secretly summoned Xiao Ruxun to arrange the expedition before, Xiao Ruxun was puzzled, but he couldn't get any news.

Is the courtier going to get rid of the emperor and start handling court affairs?

Although according to the political system of the Ming Dynasty, even if the emperor is just a mascot, as long as the officials are complete, the imperial government can still operate normally, but so many official appointments and normal retirements still need the emperor's orders, if the emperor doesn't care about anything, there will be a large number of shortages of court officials, and there will be a large number of old officials who should have retired but could not retire. As a result, the administrative efficiency of the empire has fallen off a cliff.

Can the failure of the three kings really make the emperor lose so much? Xiao Ruxun remembered that Emperor Wanli fought with his courtiers for almost thirty years before finally compromising and becoming discouraged, and now he is only thirty years old, and it is not yet time to be discouraged, right? What's going on?
