For the more than 1,000 Burmese troops of the Teng Myint Division, who were eventually besieged and annihilated in the town of Guse, their demise can only be said to be self-inflicted. The Siamese army in the north was overwhelmed, and instead of quickly turning westward into the hilly terrain, they relied on a few small hills on the north bank of the Lausso River to resist stubbornly, intending to open the way to flee south while resisting the Siamese army in the north, and there were only more than 1,000 Burmese under Den Myint's command, instead of more than 10,000 Burmese troops, and they wasted the best opportunity to accept the most cruel punishment. None of them will be wiped out! It was their own slow movement that allowed the whole army to be surrounded and annihilated. and thou shalt not live. Who's to blame?

However, the Burmese army should not be underestimated, the army led by Deng Min is only one of them, and there are dozens of such teams, although most of the troops are very small, and even some are composed of defeated soldiers, but their existence has caused a lot of trouble to the Siamese. Since the Siamese army conquered Rangoon and Bago, the Siamese army has swept through the eastern part of the Irrawaddy Delta, and the Burmese army, which has been defeated in the frontal battle, has abandoned large areas of land to delay and disperse the strength of the Siamese army.

Then rely on small forces to sneak up and harass the Siamese army, sluggish the Siamese army's movements, and buy more time for yourself.

In northern Burma, in the area where the Burmese people lived, the Gongbang Dynasty had started the largest conscription campaign in history, and a large number of Mudu Ji were recruited into the army by the Gongbang Dynasty as middle and low-level officers. It can be said that at the juncture of the national crisis, the Gongbang Dynasty made a decree that the local hereditary nobles who had always been vigilant expanded their military strength without restrictions.

It can be said that the whole situation is a bit of a reproduction of the Chinese battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War. But it really worked, and the dense forests and rugged terrain of Myanmar made this tactic very convenient.

Myanmar is the size of three and a half Central Plains provinces, at least two as long as North Korea, and has a coastline of more than 6,000 miles. The terrain can be high in the north and low in the south. It is surrounded by mountains on the north, west and east. It is surrounded by high mountains in the north, Naga Hills and Rakhine Mountains in the west, and Shan State Plateau in the east. At 5,881 meters above sea level, Kaikabo Peak, near the Chinese border, is the highest peak in the country. Only the western mountains and the eastern plateau are the alluvial plains of the Ayeyarwady River, which are low-lying and flat, but there are also a series of hills and low ridges.

Meng Mang is now in Bosheng, and countless messages are delivered to it every day. After eliminating some exaggerated and untrue news, Meng Mang learned more and more about the strength of the Siamese army. However, the Siamese people are still completely vague about the power in Meng Mang's hands at this moment.

And the Siamese army has known about this phenomenon for a long time, but there is no way to deal with it. There's no way you're going to get everyone to close their eyes, can you? Fortunately, these people who reported the news were all local civilians. It is not impossible to say the exact number of troops estimated, and most of them will exaggerate the number of troops they see to show their hard work. Therefore, it also passed a lot of false information and news to Meng Mang, which confused Meng Mang to a certain extent.

"Tuanza. Songkan is coming. The chief of staff of the regiment, Sheney Bhamo, gave a military salute and reported to the regimental Zhengbiri Panomrong.

"Songkan is here." Billy Panon felt a little strange, how could it be him? What about Apaiwang? Could it be that something happened to the Apaiwang camp? It's better not to be like that.

If the Apaiwang battalion failed to resist the attack of the Burmese army in Gusetown and was run away by Deng Min, all the responsibility was not for Apaiwang, but on him. Pa Yirong glanced up and saw Songkan standing not far away. He beckoned, and then asked, "What happened to your camp?" How did you get here? ”

Battalion officers, battalion lieutenants, staff officers and instructors, everything in the Siamese army is copied from the Wehrmacht, not only the title, but also the position, and the above four positions are above the first team of officers of Songkan.

"Report to the group." Song Kan saluted to Pa Yirong, "The deputy of our battalion was killed yesterday, and the battalion officer and staff officer were seriously wounded. Yesterday afternoon, our battalion caught a leader in the Dengmin army, and after several tortures, the latter confessed an urgent military situation. "To put it simply, there is still a Burmese army hovering south of Guse Town, and the captured Than Shwe has not disguised the size and location of that army, which is not far from the route of the northbound army in Yangon, and if you can quickly inform the latter, you may not be able to try to capture the other party.

Songkana was so amazing that he stopped Billy Panonon before he could finish speaking. There is still a Burmese army hidden in the south of the town of Guse? I wonder if this situation has been discovered by the Yangon Southern Route Army?

It's a danger and an opportunity.

Blinked. Billy Panonrong opened his mouth several times without saying anything, and finally patted his forehead and thought for a while before he said with great certainty: "I can definitely catch it." Rangoon had cavalry units. "It's cavalry, not clumsy elephant soldiers, even if these horses are of comparable quality, but in Pa Yirong's mind, the speed of cavalry far exceeds that of infantry.

The cavalry of the Siamese army was present when Zheng Xin first rebelled against the invasion of the Burmese army, and later, like the Siamese infantry, the elite of them were taught by Chinese military instructors and equipped with muskets, and their combat effectiveness was greatly increased.

Song Kan smiled and said, "The group is wise." Wise. "Why did he come to report this to Pa Yirong? That's because there are flying pigeons here at the regimental headquarters, and as long as a few more are released, the news can be transmitted to the Yangon army. If the Burmese army hadn't escaped far away at this time, it would have been the old birthday boy eating arsenic - living impatiently.

However, Pa Yirong didn't know that although the Southern Route Army from Yangon was not as fast as the Bago Army in the north, and had just arrived at a place called Donggua, the Southern Route Army directly controlled by Zheng Xin was doing a big thing - Zheng Xin wanted to form a puppet army and select a group of people from the many Burmese prisoners of war captured after landing in Yangon to form a team to serve them. It is not necessary to have strong combat effectiveness, but only to ask them to assist the Siamese army in clearing the place.

This is a very important thing.

Whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs in history, or the Burmese army sweeping Siam not long ago, or the current Siamese army attacking Burma, the frontal battlefield may be described by the word 'overwhelming'. The battle on the frontal battlefield was smooth, but the difficulty lies in how to achieve the set goals while ensuring a smooth transition for the Burmese people.

The Irrawaddy River Delta is the land of fish and rice in Myanmar, the essence of Myanmar, and if it becomes a mess, whether it is Siam or China, everything has to be cleaned up.

People are always insatiable. At first, Chen Ming was only concerned about the land of Burma, but later he felt that Burma was the best base for the National Defense Forces to run India, and it was far more convenient to reach out to India here than Tibet. Slowly, Chen Ming saw this as one of the foundations of the IDF's foothold in the South Asian subcontinent, and from here to communicate Ceylon, it could have a good influence on the east coast of India. Therefore, it has become a very necessary thing to ensure the stability and stability of the people. What Chen Ming didn't want was a raged mess. Chen Han's treasury banknotes themselves were stretched, but there was no money left to fill that bottomless pit.

For thousands of years, every time the regime changes, the people suffer the most, and the war has affected so many living beings. This has been amply demonstrated by previous events in China, North Korea, and Japan, including impoverished civilians as well as landlords and businessmen with surplus families. The rise and fall of the people in the world are suffering!

The people were most affected by the civil unrest, and it was the local occupation forces that were most affected. War is a very expensive thing, and it is a very bad thing if no one in the occupied territory pays the taxes anymore. If the army in the war cannot be adequately satisfied in terms of supplies and salaries, will these occupying forces obediently drink the northwest wind? Of course not. Then the phenomenon of 'looting' naturally arises. Some things that were inevitable for the original Han army, the Siamese people hated Burma, and it was impossible to completely prohibit it. And so a vicious circle emerged.

It was with this aspect in mind that the Sino-Siamese forces did not carry out cleansing activities in the early days of the occupation. That would leave a lot of loyalists in the area. But for the sake of the stability of the local towns, they can only do this. Of course, basic, necessary cleaning still needs to be done. Let's say those who have bad lives and are the ones who are doing the scourge. The Siamese army was willing to eliminate these families in order to add more food to their coffers. Then there is the redress of some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and some unjust, false and wrongly decided cases with relatively large public opinion have been quickly corrected. In this way, the reputation of the Sino-Siamese coalition army in Burma will be gained to some extent, and the relatively strict military discipline of the coalition army will be added, and there will be few disturbances to the people. So the Burmese resistance in the cities of Yangon and Bago has weakened.

People always have to survive. No matter what the circumstances. The Mon people of the delta have experienced a second time after the pain of losing their country more than 20 years ago, and this feeling is much lighter than the first.

And on the other hand, as long as the coalition forces can be invincible on the battlefield, winning one victory after another, so that these people can see the hope of changing the dynasty, then they will eventually fall to the winner, which will be inevitable.

There has never been a whole nation in this world who would rather die in the face of the invasion of outsiders. At a time when the enemy is incomparably stronger, all will kneel on their knees.

However, if you want to win victory after victory on the battlefield in Burma, and reduce war expenses as much as possible, it is obviously not enough to rely on the strength of the coalition forces alone, and they want to expand their influence, so it is inevitable to recruit puppet troops.

The southern part of Myanmar is the traditional gathering place of the Mon people, Yangon, Bago and Pak Sang, and the entire delta region is inhabited by a large number of Mon people. As mentioned above, the history of Myanmar is the history of the struggle between the Burmese and the Shan and Mon peoples, who have their own language and script, and have their own civilization and country.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties in China, the Mon people established the states of Zhitong, Fallen Holo, Michen, Kunlun, Dawei, and Mergui in southern Burma, the most famous of which was the "Handawady" Bago Dynasty. Hundreds of years later, during the reign of Song Renzong, King Anuruda of the Burmese Bagan Dynasty (the first unified regime of Burma) unified the whole of Myanmar. On the grounds that the Zhitong State refused to borrow the Theravada [Burmese Buddhist Heritage] "Sanzang Buddhist Sutra" and insulted him, he sent troops south to eliminate the Zhitong State and captured the Mon king "Manuha" alive as a Bagan Buddha Tanu. Later, this dynasty was destroyed by the Mongol Kublai Khan. At that time, the Mon people centered on the city of Bago and revived the "Handawady" Bago Dynasty. In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, the "Handawady" Bago Dynasty was again conquered by the Burmese Taungoo Dynasty (the second unified regime of Burma) Mang Yinglong. Subsequently, as long as there was an opportunity, the "Handawady" Bago Dynasty made a comeback. In this way, until the Mon people in turn destroyed the Donghu Dynasty, but in the end, they were wiped out forever by the Yong Dynasty - from then on, the Mon people became slaves of the country.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, and the Mon are obviously weaker than the Burmese in their resistance to the coalition forces.

The three major ethnic groups in Myanmar have three attitudes towards the coalition forces, more precisely, towards China. The Shan are the main supporters, the Mon are generally neutral, of course, the rebels must be indispensable, and the staunchest opponents are the Burmese.

When Burma was in a dangerous situation, the Gongbang dynasty could temporarily unite the entire Burmese people around them, but it was difficult for the Mon people to guarantee their ideas.

With China's help, the coalition's measures to reassure the people are very powerful. The feud between the Mon and Burmese, coupled with the generous remuneration in the army, made the recruitment process in the eastern part of the delta very smooth. In Yangon, for example, 1,000 recruits have already entered the training camp so far.

According to the plan of the general headquarters of the coalition forces, they should recruit more than 5,000 recruits as soon as possible, and thus divide them into 50 local garrisons and guard the localities, which will certainly greatly reduce the pressure on the coalition forces. At the same time, every effort will be made to recruit the captured Burmese soldiers, and these anyway Burmese soldiers will be directly integrated into the local garrison.

Yangon, formerly the headquarters of Meng Mang, is now the headquarters of the coalition forces.

"Brother Zhu Li, isn't it a matter for these 10,000 Burmese captives to be raised? Let's get that solution as soon as possible. "There are not a few captives who want to surrender, but how to 'regulate the behavior' of these captives is a very troublesome matter. They had to be mixed and mixed with the recruits, and if they were to recruit prisoners, they would be less loyal than the recruits.

Zhu Mian smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and begged Zheng Xin for mercy: "You have also seen it, the king, although many of the captives are clamoring to surrender, but judging from the detailed feedback we have buried, there are still many people who resist. It can be said that the hearts of these captives are still unstable, and the opinion of the headquarters [Nanyang Naval Division] is to stay up for a while. ”

"Stay up for a while?" Zheng Xin disagreed. "Obviously, many of these people are already willing to give in, so we gather all the people who are willing to work with us, and even if there are those who run away, then they will run away." Zheng Xin is unimpressed by the fact that the Chinese side is trying to do the best. If you run away, you will run, and if you want to make trouble in the people, won't you be ruthless when you catch it again?

Of course, these Burmese people were beaten with no military morale and low morale, and now they are also lacking in combat power. It cannot be incorporated into the local garrison without vigorous rectification.

Not all prisoners of war were the 'liberation soldiers' of the rabbit year. At present, many of these captured Burmese soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death in battle, but they are good at fighting in private, and they are fierce and ruthless. It is difficult to say which part of them will obediently accept the reorganization.

It's not good to stay up for a while, and after they have enough to suffer, things will not be easy to do.

This is not the primitive era of cold weapons, there are not only muskets but also rifled guns, which can kill people from hundreds of meters away. Caution must be taken for safety reasons.

"Unless the king has a way to contain the hearts of these captives. Then Zhu Mou will be able to sign the military order immediately. "Some of the things of the coalition army cannot be ended simply by Zhu Lian's own signature or Zheng Xin's own signature.

Zheng Xin pondered for a while, and a trace of fierceness flashed across his face. He said in a deep voice: "The army is not strict. Five hundred were selected from the coalition forces to serve as junior officers in the local garrisons. Then use some subordinate circles to get a group of obedient ones, and split the captives inside. As for those who disobey and take the lead in making trouble, they will all be killed without mercy, so as to deter their hearts. Zheng Xin looked at Zhu Li, who was thinking hard, and said. You can't just put them in the place, you have to take them to fight a few battles first. As long as you take them to fight a few battles, you will definitely be able to stabilize the morale of the army. "And then distribute it to the place. This can also determine where they will be assigned based on their exploits in the war, which can motivate them to be heroic in battle.
