Chapter 403: Aftermath (4) Da Ming's plan

The Siamese prince of the prison kingdom, Ishara Songtun, the future Rama II, also knew this. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info immediately sent a messenger with rich gifts to Daming to ask for sin.

But as the old saying goes, it is not advisable to settle a knot with a family!

Think about the arrogance of Siam to tear up the treaty and drive away the Ming envoys. can offend Da Ming thoroughly. So now, how is it possible to spare Siam so easily?

As a result, those envoys sent over were arrested by the Ming Coast Guard as smugglers and savagely before they even left the Gulf of Siam.

Since the Ming Dynasty did it on purpose, no matter how the Siamese envoy explained, the coast guard pretended to be confused. made the Siamese official have to come forward. It was only by official means that the messenger was rescued and rescued.

This incident was also reported by Daming's newspaper, Da Yan. provoked the boundaries of the South Seas, everyone knows. Many new immigrants living in Daming are embarrassed to tell people that they are Siamese. lest they be known, and their status should be lowered by vain.

As the king of Burma, Meng Yun, who is a world enemy of Siam, laughed from ear to ear when he heard this. After all, Siam's national prestige has been greatly damaged, which is extremely beneficial to Myanmar. And in his opinion, the message revealed by Daming's move is not simple.

Because if Da Ming wants to refuse Siam's plea for mercy, he doesn't have to pay attention to it. There is no need to let the newspapers report this in a big way.

So he thought selfishly that Da Ming wanted Burma to put Siam to death.

If you say before, you still have to worry about Daming. And dare not let go of their hands and feet, and make a big move. Now, with Daming's permission, it is okay to do a good job. On the basis of the existing one, the army was recruited again. Shengsheng expanded the Burmese army to 500,000.

Although they are all new recruits, their combat effectiveness needs to be improved. However, the truth that there is great strength in numbers is often the truth on the battlefield. Therefore, as soon as so many people rushed to the Salween River, the pressure on the Siamese military increased sharply.

The intensity of the war has also increased several times. The waters of the Salween River are dyed red with bright red heat, blood, and red.

It is also since the establishment of the Gongbang Dynasty, which has always expanded its territory. Even during the reign of King Mengti, he went to war with the Qing Dynasty, a powerful country in the north, and did not cede land and pay compensation. Meng Yun, who has always had ambition for revenge, naturally couldn't allow a precedent for land cession and compensation in his hands.

So since the signing of the Siamese Peace Treaty last year, he has been looking for opportunities to regain territory. It's just that before, because of the Ming Dynasty. and Siam, again in the same camp. It made it difficult for him to find an excuse and withdraw the peace treaty.

But it didn't come to pass, just when he was distressed about it. Siam actually tore up the treaty with the Ming Dynasty on his own, providing him with a sufficient excuse.

Now that there is support from the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, the ceded land must also be recovered.

It is precisely for this reason that he disregards the declining livelihood of the people in the country. And the tough ones, recruit new soldiers and expand the army. And with Siam, a big fight.

Fortunately, this situation is what Daming wants to see the most.

Because as long as the battle of Siam-Burma is unstoppable. Then Da Ming, you can develop more at ease. After all, Da Ming is a spectator from the wall, purely as a spectator. No matter how you fight, it is impossible to involve Da Ming. Perhaps, because of the war, weapons are being sold.

That Daming's financial revenue can be increased by a large margin!

And since ancient times, fighting a war has been the most consuming national strength! Like Myanmar, although for a time, armed an army of 500,000 people. But at the same time, there is also a loss of a large number of young and strong men who can be engaged in production. Myanmar, on the other hand, is based on agriculture. As a result, Myanmar's agricultural production will inevitably be greatly affected.

Extrapolating from this, Myanmar's national capital is likely to shake the mountains. Because no matter which place or which nationality, it is the people who take food as the sky. So in the most primitive food and clothing, there is no guarantee. The people will naturally meet their needs in various ways.

Then the social order will collapse rapidly. Myanmar's social stability will also be seriously threatened.

But that's just the worst-case scenario!

Because if the remedy is right, Myanmar will only have the dilemma of soaring prices and shortages.

But this situation is closely related to the Ming Dynasty. After all, judging from the current situation, the only country that has the ability to come up with sufficient materials to help Myanmar and tide over the food shortage is Daming. In addition, it is not possible in the Qing Dynasty, Siam, Chenla, Vietnam, Manipur, Assam.

There is no need to say much about the words of the Qing Dynasty. The White Lotus uprising severed the connection between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and the Qing court. At sea, it's too remote. When the Burmese envoy ran to the Qing court for help, the daylily was cold.

Siam's words wish that Myanmar would be as chaotic as possible. Therefore, it is not possible to give food support. Although Chenla has no festivals with Burma, its government is very influenced by Siam and the Ming Dynasty. With the current relationship between Siam and Myanmar, it is impossible to lend a helping hand.

And then there's Vietnam. But the country is not a country, and all materials are also given priority to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. For example, in the Battle of Nanyang, Vietnam donated a lot of military supplies free of charge.

Manipur and Assam are steep in mountainous and steep areas, and the country is poor. When our own people often starve to death, we naturally have no surplus food to help Myanmar.

So in the end, there is only Da Ming.

can be taken into account the battle of Nanyang, basically the military supplies of the Ming Dynasty were consumed. And in the next two or three years, Daming should pay more attention to industrial development. Therefore, in agriculture, it is inevitable to give way to industry.

As a result, it is difficult to argue that there is a surplus of food to support Myanmar. In addition, with the ambition of the Ming Dynasty for Myanmar, it is natural to look forward to the more chaotic the better.

So even if there is, it is very likely that he will not be saved!

Extrapolating from this calculation, the possibility of social instability in Myanmar in the next two years is still very great.

In this regard, Daming has not yet wanted to make corresponding preparations. But what is certain is that at that time, no matter what the trade-off, Daming will bite off a piece of meat from Myanmar. Otherwise, it is not in line with the businessman nature of the Ming Dynasty.

But at the moment, Meng Yun, who is keen to teach Siam and recover the territory, can't think of this. So when the time comes, while feeling distressed, I cheekily let Da Ming Zai.

And thanks to the continuation of the war, Siam will also affect the development of people's livelihood in the country because of the continuous war with Myanmar. In the end, last year, the Siam-Burma War also had a great impact on Siam.

For example, the levy and Burmese tax levied on the people has made the lives of many small families more and more difficult. As a result, a large-scale migration wave was triggered. In the end, it was the Siamese official who urgently informed the Ming Dynasty. For the sake of his allies, all the Siamese immigrants who arrived in Daming after the outbreak of the Siamese Burma War were repatriated. In addition, the law punishes illegal immigrants with extremely severe punishments. At the same time, a public notice was issued to reduce the amount of tax levied on Myanmar.

This brought this wave of immigration to an end. (To be continued.) )
