Chapter 231: Burma Beacon Fire (4) -- Rapid Change

Especially at present, both the anti-Burmese forces and the Siamese military generally use cold weapons to fight. Although the www.biquge.info was also equipped with a certain number of muskets, the proportion of musket units in the entire army was not large.

And it is well known that cold weapons have limited lethality. Compared with the musket, it is naturally a thousand miles away. In addition, the training methods and combat methods of the anti-Burmese forces and the Siamese army are extremely backward. The logistics and transportation are even more backward and can't bear to look at it directly.

Whether it is compared with the Ming Dynasty or compared with Western countries, it cannot be compared.

To borrow the old saying of the Ming Dynasty, they are the army that is still outside the civilized world.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible to rely on them to fight quickly and overthrow the Burmese Gongbang Dynasty.

So the protracted war is inevitable! Then the Myanmar officials can also get a respite. If you compete again, it is likely that the offense and defense will be reversed.

So he did not approve of the Indian Viceroy sending troops to East Bengal at this time.

Otherwise, Myanmar will survive, and the reconciliation that Britain and Myanmar have reached with great difficulty will come to naught in an instant. The instigation of Daming and Myanmar was also empty.

However, the Viceroy of India had written in his letter that the Burmese garrison in East Bengal had been completely annihilated by the British. In other words, the current East Bengal is completely in the hands of the British army.

This left Magorny a little powerless!

Thinking like this, the gloom on his face was like a dark cloud that could not be dissolved. It's as if if if you don't pay attention, water will drip out.

In fact, he guessed correctly, it is impossible for Daming to get rid of the relationship in this matter. Otherwise, there would be no need for the Intelligence Division to exist! And only Daming has the strength to let those anti-Burmese forces have the confidence to provoke Britain.

But there is a slight discrepancy! The Ming Dynasty only supported the anti-Burmese forces in the west of Burma, such as Kim Bin in Arakan, Manipur, Assam and other slightly powerful princely kingdoms. They made a fuss, and the influence on the Burmese authorities was greater.

As for the east side, they are all small toasts. The forces are scattered, and it is difficult to twist into a rope. But they were close to Siam, so they were all influenced by Siam.

Da Ming also didn't want to do too much, and exposed himself, so he ignored the weak Tusi in the east.

The facts pointed out by Daming Daily are also based on this. It's just an exaggeration of the facts, blaming all the anti-Burmese forces on Siam.

The disappearance of the British envoy was deliberately done by Jin Bin to express his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. That person had already been sent to the Intelligence Department by Jin Bin. After squeezing out all the surplus value, he was buried in the belly of the fish.

As for why Kim Bin chose to arrest the British envoy near the barracks, he was still so unscrupulous and blatant. The main thing is to reveal two meanings.

One is to provoke the British, distance themselves from the British, and try to get closer to the Ming Dynasty. Maybe he also found that Da Ming's thighs were thicker, so he hugged them tighter.

Second, it is for people who have a heart. After all, the British envoy was caught, still near the barracks. In full view of everyone, it is not allowed to be seen by people with intentions, causing suspicion. For example, the spies of the Gongbang Dynasty. In this way, it makes Daming hide deeper and less likely to be exposed.

It is with this kind of thought that Jin Bin came out of this lower side.

Obviously, the mind of a person who can become a leader is not empty.

Daming also has a happy attitude towards this. In terms of support, it has increased slightly. But no, this move caused Manipur and Assam to follow suit. It's just that the British envoys have long been bombed away by them, and there is nowhere to catch them.

So they retreated and captured alive some British merchants who were operating in the territory. Then the news was published in the "Daming Daily" with great fanfare. In a very stern tone, he condemned the despicable and despicable acts of British merchants in the territory, and expelled all British people living in the territory.

Such a move undoubtedly won the favor of Daming.

It's just that Meng Yun, the king of Burma, is not happy! Because the stronger the anti-Burmese forces, the greater the weakening of the Gongbang dynasty, and the greater the threat posed. The current war between the East and Siam suffered another major defeat.

This situation really worries him.

It was also at this time that he finally remembered that his ally, Da Ming, was here. Although he had also wanted to find the UK before. But after hearing that East Bengal was occupied by the British, he suddenly realized that the Ming Dynasty had come.

So he summoned the Ming ambassador to Myanmar several times a day. That attitude has also changed 180 degrees. In the end, for the sake of convenience, the ambassador was also allowed to live in the palace.

Every day, he grinds hard bubbles, and asks Daming for help with all the good words, which makes the ambassador's ears calloused. For example, what made Siam withdraw its troops and negotiate peace with the armistice; I implore the Ming Dynasty to send troops to suppress the rebellion and rebellion; Or the large-scale provision of firearms to help Myanmar tide over the storm.

was able to force the Burmese king Meng Yun to this part, but also because the rebellion and foreign enemies were menacing, which made the Burmese court a little difficult to deal with for a while. After all, before that, most of the troops of the Burmese court were placed on the Burma-Siamese border.

Later, the Arakan uprising led by Kim Bin brought 200,000 officers and troops into the Rakhine Mountains. There, there were constant battles every day, and many troops were restrained.

The combination of these two made the Burmese court temporarily appear in the dilemma of empty troops. With a little time, the Burmese court can also arm an army of a certain size.

But right now, they just don't have the time.

For example, Namanipur and Assam led troops from the northwest, and the Tusi west of the Inovady River saw that they were so powerful that they did not even resist, so they surrendered one after another. As a result, the combined forces of Manipur and Assam were able to reach the south bank of the Inovady River without any hindrance in just a few days. Further on, there is the ancient capital of Ava, the heart of the Burmese court. That is, the Mandalay of later generations.

The chieftains of the Shan states in the northeast also submitted to Siam one by one. As a result, the Siamese army took the Shan Plateau in the northwest without much effort.

To the south, Siam conquered Bago and supported the fleeing Mon to establish a new Bago dynasty. So that under Myanmar, there are also constant beacons.

As a result, the actual control of Burmese officials has been sharply reduced to central Burma, that is, the alluvial plain of the Innowady River, which is sandwiched between the mountains in the west and the plateau in the east.

With fertile soil, flat terrain and a suitable climate, it is a traditional residential area for the Burmese people.

If the anti-Burmese forces and the Siamese army are allowed to invade here, then the survival of the Gongbang Dynasty is a problem.

In particular, the anti-Burmese forces have cooperated very well this time. It's not at all like before, scattered and fighting. Let the Burmese court lose the opportunity to break through.

The speed of the coalition army is so fast, and the situation of the Burmese army is so critical, which is also beyond the expectations of major powers including the Ming Dynasty and the United Kingdom. It was also that they did not expect that so many forces would defect and rebel against the Gongbang Dynasty.

If the battlefield is changing rapidly, the plan can never catch up with the change! (To be continued.) )
