At this time, in Johor Bahru City, Liao Qing was sitting in Nanfeng's office, reporting the latest war situation in Myanmar to Nanfeng and Liu Weiguo in a brisk tone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When it came to the critical situation in Myanmar, Liao Qing's tone became serious.

Nan Feng listened, and also put away a quiet smile. Although Myanmar suffered retribution, he felt a lot more comfortable. But weakening Myanmar too much is indeed detrimental to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he felt that it was time to take practical action to put pressure on Siam and solve the internal and external difficulties of Myanmar.

But Liu Weiguo, who was observing, had different opinions.

I saw him staring at the world map on the wall, focusing on that area of Myanmar. In a slightly hesitant tone, he said, "I'm wondering if it's possible to move Vietnam's strategy to Burma." ”。

It was also the anti-Burmese forces and the Siamese army that were advancing too fast and beyond his expectations. Therefore, he re-evaluated the situation in Myanmar according to his usual strategic vision. Then the idea of taking control of Burma while the Burmese court was in decline germinated.

Time shifts too!

Nan Feng and Liao Qing were not surprised when they heard this. Because they've thought that way too. Just thinking about it, they rejected the idea for various reasons.

After all, there are still many differences between Myanmar and Vietnam!

The first is location. Vietnam was far away from the British Indian colonies, and there was a disturbance that did not easily attract the attention of the British. And when the Ming Dynasty intervened in Vietnam, it was when Britain and Spain were unprepared. There is a certain suddenness!

So much so that when Britain and Spain reacted later, they could only stare and watch, and there was nothing they could do.

But Myanmar is different! It was very close to the British colonies, and the slightest movement would attract the attention of the British. And from a strategic point of view, after Britain purged India, the spearhead would definitely move eastward and point to Burma. Because of this era, the Qing State was the undisputed economic power. All countries that want to do business will not let go of the market of Qingguo. Like now, Britain has been secretly transporting opium to the Qing Dynasty to make huge profits.

It's just that the existence of the Ming Dynasty seriously blocked its maritime trade route to the Qing State, resulting in a sharp drop in the amount of opium exported to the Qing State. The profits obtained have also become insignificant.

Therefore, from the perspective of geographical location, Britain will never let go of Burma, a land power bordering the Qing State. Otherwise, in the future, there would not have been three Anglo-Burmese wars to annex Burma.

Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty indirectly controlled Burma, it would definitely stimulate the British gods and scriptures, causing strong vigilance and counterattacks.

Perhaps, it will ignite the flames of Mingying war in advance. Let the inevitable battle of the South Seas start in Burma.

This kind of result, of course, Daming will not allow it to happen!

The first is that the Ming Dynasty is not ready, and the second is that the Ming Dynasty wants to let Burma bear part of the British firepower for itself, and it is impossible to let the sharp knife of Burma just rot into a pile of scrap iron.

The second difference is the situation.

When the Ming Dynasty controlled Vietnam, he was very patient and waited until Nguyen Phuc Anh unified Vietnam and the world was stable. Then he sent Nguyen Phuc Anh back to the west and supported his son to ascend to the throne.

But Myanmar is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and if the Burmese king Meng Yun is at this time, he will suddenly disappear. Within the Gongbang Dynasty, it is very likely to become a plate of scattered sand. After all, the history of the Burmese king's ascension to the throne of the Gongbang Dynasty is a history of siblings and remnants. For example, Meng Yun killed the former king of Burma and killed the king to ascend the throne. And he did more ruthlessly than all the Burmese kings. As soon as he ascended to the throne, he killed all his brothers and sisters who might ascend to the throne.

As a result, the royal family has almost no men. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry about his son's death.

Therefore, if Da Ming wants Myanmar to still play a role, he will never let Meng Yun have an accident at this time. After all, Myanmar, which is torn apart, is just a lamb to be slaughtered.

The third difference is balance!

When the Ming Dynasty intervened in Vietnam, it was intended to turn it into a major sea and land passage to East Asia in the north, so as to break the blockade of Spain. In terms of positioning, I didn't expect Vietnam, which had just ended the civil war, to have strong national strength. I didn't think it would help Daming and offset Spain's edge.

But Myanmar is different!

At the beginning, it was positioned by the Ming Dynasty as a sharp knife to defend against the British. and Siam one east and one west, from two directions, to create trouble for the British.

Now war breaks out between Siam and Burma.

If Myanmar loses itself in a mess and collapses. Then Siam will definitely increase in strength and confidence. That respect for the Ming Dynasty will be reduced. This is obviously something that Da Ming does not want to see.

Even though the Ming Dynasty supported the rebellion against Burma in Arakan, Manipur, and Assam, as well as the counterattack on Burma by Siam. It is only a lesson for Myanmar, not really to bring down Myanmar.

This is the same as Magorny thinks.

So Myanmar, as an adversary, must exist. It is also good that Siam is vigilant and always maintains a sense of respect for the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if it floats up, it will become a trouble for the Ming Dynasty and hurt the Ming Dynasty.

These three points alone completely vetoed Liu Weiguo's idea.

It's just that Liu Weiguo didn't listen to Nanfeng's explanation. Extinguish the cigarette butt in your hand and stand up. He walked straight to the world map on the wall and pointed to this part of Myanmar and said: "Myanmar stretches from the Indian subcontinent to the west to the interior of the Indochina Peninsula to the east. It is bordered by Tibet and Yunnan in the north and the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea in the south.

In technical terms, it is a crossroads, and the strategic location is very dangerous.

If we control it, we will not only break the British blockade of the Ming in the Indian Ocean, but also use it as a springboard to attack India.

With the money-loving and miserly nature of the British capitalists, they would never allow a crisis in the Indian colonies. In that case, the open and secret struggle between the Ming and the British in the Malay Peninsula is very likely to be transferred to India.

This has become a battlefield, and the one who has suffered the greatest losses must be India. In disguise, it is equivalent to the United Kingdom. ”。

This is like encircling Wei to save Zhao! With India, the focus of the struggle between the Ming and the British was diverted.

It can be regarded as a tactic to escape from the South Seas and lead to trouble!

It is just like the idea of solving the South Sea problem and the East China Sea in later generations. Japan's constant finger-pointing in the South China Sea has led China to turn its attention to the East China Sea, where territorial disputes are located. Japan had no choice but to return the aid and take care of itself so that it would stop interfering in the South China Sea.

Liu Weiguo's thoughts are the same.

Turn India into a breakthrough in the South Seas dispute. Let the energy and attention of the British be turned back to India. In that case, it will not only catch Britain off guard, but also allow the main battlefield to avoid the South Seas. So as to avoid the Ming Dynasty's Nanyang overseas territory to have a large loss.
