Chapter 226: The South Seas (4) -- Parade
After these things were arranged in order, Nan Feng returned to the room and lay down on the bed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe whole person is empty, and the whole body is paralyzed and limp. After a while, the snoring sounded loudly. Wang Yanran heard the sound and thoughtfully helped him take off his shoes and socks. Then he gently closed the door and let him rest.
Two or three days later, the heads of the consulates of Siam and Burma in Nanyang all came to the administrative residence of the overseas consulates in Nanyang. After entering, he eagerly informed the Ming of the situation of the Battle of Siam-Burma. At the same time, they accuse each other of provoking war and shirking responsibility.
In this regard, Daming gave a warning unusually. Let Siam and Myanmar reconcile in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, the Ming will take extraordinary measures to force them to cease fire.
The harsh wording is a world away from the good words and appeasement of the past.
Both Siam and Myanmar attach great importance to such warnings. Because Da Ming has always said that he does what he says, he rarely goes back on his word on the bright side. And where is the strength of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is Siam, Burma, or even the two countries combined, they dare not provoke.
So in order to gain an advantage in the shortest possible time, force the opponent to bow his head. Siam and Burma have also stepped up their investment in the war. In just seven days, more than 10 major battles broke out on the border between the two sides, with 200,000 casualties. And every day, tens of thousands of recruits rush to the battlefield, fierce battles, desperate fighting. The cruel scene fully embodies the eight characters of people like ants and life like mustard.
Among them, the battlefield is divided into two parts: north and south. To the north is the Chiang Mai region north of the Thani Thaon Mountains and east of the Salween River. It was located in the territory of Siam, and it was the Siamese side that suffered the greater losses. However, due to the topography, the two sides did not invest many troops here, and they were in a stalemate.
To the south is the Coconut City area south of the Thani Thanong Mountains and north of the Birao Mountains, which is located in Myanmar. It was once the birthplace of the Mon people and was later occupied by the Burmese. It was also the main battlefield of the Battle of Siam-Burma.
Due to the proximity to the Siamese-Myanmar border, many Mon people live. So this place is also the place where the war broke out. Because of its proximity to Bangkok, Siam has invested the most troops here. The battle between the two sides was also the most intense.
Nowadays, it is difficult to see civilians here, except for the soldiers who are constantly dying. Because they either run away, or they lose their lives in the war.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a devastation of life and thousands of miles of uninhabited people.
It was at this time that the Siam curator sent back the news from Johor Bahru. It is said that Da Ming is willing to support Siam in counterattacking Myanmar and provide help to Yunyun.
When Rama I saw this letter, he was immediately overjoyed. Because after more than ten years of recuperation, Siam's national strength is steadily recovering. However, the Burmese king Meng Yun built a lot of construction, working the people and losing money. And in the west, he continued to fight with the British, and his national strength was damaged.
That's why he didn't bow his head to death, didn't apologize to death, and had the confidence to fight with Myanmar. At the same time, he also wants to test the strength of his army and find out the bottom of Myanmar through this war.
Now with the help of Daming, it is really a tiger with wings!
He seems to have seen the end of the defeat in Burma and the victory in Siam.
During this period, the tavern and tea shop in Johor Bahru City gradually spread the news of the reconciliation between Burmese and Britain. Originally, the consulates didn't take it too seriously. But this gossip is getting worse and worse. In the end, the taste changed. What to say about Britain and Burma, the two countries have decided to join forces against Siam. Some people also say that they are joining forces to deal with Daming. Some people even say that they are joining forces to deal with the Ming and Siam.
Anyway, there are various versions of the rumors, and all of them are clear-eyed, just like the real thing. For this reason, Daming also specially summoned the director of the Myanmar Consulate in Johor Bahru to explain the matter.
It was only at this moment that the Burmese curator felt that something was wrong. Hurriedly sent a letter to the country to ask the reason. At the same time, he appeased the Ming and assured that Britain and Burma would not reconcile.
After a few days, the curator received a reply from China. Let him try his best to appease Da Ming and delay time. But there was no mention of the Burmese and British reconciliation. The curator immediately realized that this was probably true.
This made him a little embarrassed! Because the intelligence department of the Ming Dynasty has always been known for being well-informed. It is difficult for such news not to arouse the suspicion and attention of the Intelligence Division. And this news appeared so inexplicably in Johor Bahru that it is difficult to say that it was not deliberately released by Daming.
Combined with Daming's harsh wording and tough attitude on this matter. If you want to fool the past, I'm afraid it's not that easy.
It is true that Da Ming not only expressed his dissatisfaction in words, but also expressed his anger in action.
On the day of the appointment with the director of the Burmese museum, Daming sent seven or eight warships to Myanmar in full swing. Not only did he cruise in the Andaman Sea, but he also sailed into Motama Bay. The majestic momentum made the British warships, which had been secretly watching, dare not get too close. As for the Burmese sailors, they shrank directly in Yangon, and they didn't even dare to sail out of the boat.
In charge of this task is Ou Ziwen, the former mayor of the Guangfu Municipal Government and the current rear admiral of the Navy. Originally, he was supposed to stay in the municipality of Guangfu and be neighbors with Gu Liyang, the governor of Southern Province and his good brother. It's just that the level of education is too low, and in administrative matters, he always seems inadequate.
Later, when he participated in the cadre training class, he was even more of a big head. He couldn't understand all that advanced knowledge. After struggling for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage and took the initiative to resign.
In fact, there are many modern people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not that there are no governor-level people to send. Just at the beginning, Xinhua Province, Southern Province, Guangfu Municipality and other administrative regions were all wild places that were developed relatively late. When I first arrived there, the hardships I had to pay were unimaginable.
And Daming has always been more distressed about the modern people who brought it over, and treated them as treasures. I'm afraid that they will have three long and two short when they go, and there will be an accident. Therefore, let Ou Ziwen, Gu Liyang and other natives of this world be the chief executive.
Now it's almost developed there, and it's basically guaranteed to survive. Daming is also relieved to send modern people to take over. Therefore, Ou Ziwen's resignation was unreservedly approved by the Ministry of Government Affairs of the Ming Dynasty. And in order to compensate him, he was also promoted to major general. And sent him to serve in the best fleet of the Ming Dynasty - the Nanyang Fleet.
It can be regarded as letting him go back to his old job!
It is estimated that in the near future, his good brother should also be like him, step down from the post of provincial governor and return to the army.
At this moment, he stood at the bow of the boat, facing the sea breeze, smelling the slightly strong smell of the sea, and he was not feeling relaxed. This is the 'Ming Yizu' class battleship - Zhu Yuanzhang No. 2, and its performance is of course higher than that of the 'Ming Dezu' class.
Looking at the coastline slowly appearing in front of him, his gaze also became cold.
This time, the fleet entered the Indian Ocean, claiming to fight piracy and maintain the safety of shipping routes. There are indeed many pirates in this place, and there are many merchant ships that have been robbed in the past. Especially the Ming merchant ships, as if they were cursed. As soon as you get out of the Strait of Malacca, there is a chance that you will disappear.
The inner bend is not unclear. It is also a good opportunity to deter. Look at the sneaky, dodgy appearance of the British warship, and you know that the effect is good. (To be continued.) )
