"Your Majesty ......" Li Chunye didn't know where Zhu Youzhen thought of again.

"Wait for the question, the new policy has been tried in the five northern provinces for so long, the ministers should be relieved, right?"

"Is Your Majesty going to extend the New Deal to the five central provinces and the five southern provinces?" Li Chunye didn't care much about the New Deal, he was the dean of national defense, and he only cared about the army, and the government soldiers in the five central provinces and the five southern provinces were what he paid attention to.

"Since the new policy is running smoothly and can bring benefits to the court and the people, it will naturally be implemented throughout the country," Zhu Youzhen has already made up his mind, the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as Hebei and Shaanxi, no matter what, he is not afraid of the opposition of the rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is a big deal to forcibly suppress it. ”

"Your Majesty, the number of government soldiers in the five provinces is huge, what should I do with these government soldiers? Do you want to immigrate outside the border? ”

"Although there are a lot of government soldiers in the five central provinces, there are rich places such as Jiangnan, Zhejiang, and Huguang, even if the soldiers lose their land, they will not starve for the time being, I just register first, and I will talk about it later," Zhu Youzhen's eyes were a little gloomy, "What I am worried about is the government soldiers of the five southern provinces, Guangdong, Fujian, and Yunnan government soldiers have been reorganized, and there are not many remaining government soldiers, and they can immigrate to Taiwan if necessary, but Guangxi and Guizhou provinces have not changed their land until now, let alone government soldiers." ”

"Your Majesty is going to take action in the south?"

"There must be action, but I'm not thinking about it yet, so let's talk about it after the New Year."

Li Chunye had already memorized every word of Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, there may still be a war in the South China Sea Fleet, how should the National Defense Yuan support them?" ”

"In the battle at sea, the army can't help much, you just need to give the South China Sea Fleet enough food and ammunition, and in addition, speed up the construction of new ships."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"It's Myanmar that worries me." Zhu Youzhen frowned rarely.

"Your Majesty is finally going to conquer Burma?"

"It's only a matter of time before the South China Sea Fleet enters the South Seas, and I must plan ahead and prepare more bases for them."

"Your Majesty, Burma is also a country that Taizu has set as not to be conquered."

±♀dǐng±♀diǎn±♀小±♀語,.■.∞os_(); "A country that is not to be conquered? Have you forgotten that Daming and Myanmar have fought more than once, right? Still talking about the country that is not requisitioned? Zhu Youzhen estimated that the opposition of the Ming army to Burma would not be too strong, and he even planned not to discuss it in the court before the conquest of Burma, "Can you tell me an overview of Burma?" ”

"Then the old minister will get an axe," Li Chunye had long known that Zhu Youzhen had plans to conquer Burma, so he made the ins and outs of Burma clear, "About 5,000 years ago, the Irrawaddy River area of Burma was inhabited, but the Burmese people are not indigenous to Burma, the original indigenous people here are dwarf black people from Java. ”

"Dwarf blacks?" Zhu Youzhen was stunned, could it be that the legendary dwarf black man really existed? "What the hell do dwarf blacks look like?"

"Your Majesty, this is just a historical record, it's been five thousand years, who has seen these dwarf blacks, besides, there are no dwarf blacks in Myanmar now."

"Is the current Myanmar a yellow race like us?" Zhu Youzhen vaguely remembered that the South Asians were similar to the Han people, as if their eyes were particularly large and their eyebrow bones were particularly high.

"It's similar to us, about the late Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people Zhuangqiao entered Yunnan, expanded the land for thousands of miles, and there were exchanges between the Central Plains Dynasty and Myanmar, and gradually formed the world-famous 'Southern Silk Road'."

"......" Zhu Youzhen did not speak, and motioned for Li Chunye to continue, because Li Chunye talked about the relationship between the Han people and Burma, and he had a faint expectation.

"About the time of the handover of the two Han Dynasty, the Ailao people in the Central Plains were divided into two branches, along the Lancang River south, one occupied Chenla, that is, the so-called Lao Xuanwei Division in the early Ming Dynasty, and the other entered Siam and Burma, and those in Myanmar are now Mon people and live in the Xidang River Valley."

"The Meng people migrated from the Central Plains? And do they admit it themselves? Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that Burma and Daming would have such a relationship, this is the basis for the expedition he was looking for, as for the mourning people, Zhu Youzhen selectively forgot, they are not Han at all.

"Your Majesty, it's been almost two thousand years, and I'm afraid they've forgotten where they came from," Li Chunye shook his head with a wry smile, "However, the Meng people have always been at odds with the Burmese people, but they are closer to the Ming Dynasty." ”

"It's good to be close." Zhu Youzhen was thinking in his heart, once he conquered Burma, he would first naturalize the Meng people, "Hou Qian, you go on, and see how many useful things there are." ”

"Later, the Tibeto-Burmese from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau moved south to Burma, and around the end of the Han Dynasty, a branch of the Burmese people, the Bi people, went south to the Irrawaddy River Delta and established the Bi State, with Humility as the capital."

"The Burmese also migrated from the land of the Ming Dynasty? Then they should also be descendants of the Ming Dynasty. "Zhu Youzhen doesn't care if they are Han or not.

"Your Majesty, the Burmese people are more hostile to the Ming Dynasty, and they should not recognize them as the descendants of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen said in his heart, as long as there is a reason for the expedition, it doesn't matter whose descendant you are, "Wait for the hostage to continue." ”

"In the sixth year of Taihe of the Tang Dynasty (832 AD), the Bi Kingdom was destroyed by the Nanzhao Kingdom, which was also a Tibetan Burman, and the Bi people fled in all directions, and gradually merged with the Burmese people in the area called Qi, the Nanzhao Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty should know, right?"

"Is it the Nanzhao Kingdom sandwiched between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo?"

"It's this Nanzhao country."

"It turns out that they are also Burmese, Tibeto-Burmans, no wonder they are closer to Tibet."

"The Mongols established the Zhitong State in Mawlamyine in the lower reaches of the Nu River, and built the ancient city of Bai, and after the fall of the Piu Kingdom, the Zhitong State ruled the whole of Lower Burma."

"This direct country, but Zheng He went to the West to be the White Ancient Kingdom?" Zhu Youzhen saw the Baigu Kingdom in the classics of the Ming Dynasty many times, and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, this is not the White Ancient Kingdom yet, but it should be his predecessor."

“……”

"About in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Burmese who settled in the area of Qiqi established the Bagan Dynasty, the capital of Bagan, and in the fourth year of the Great Song Dynasty (1044 AD), Bagan unified the entire territory of Myanmar and created the first unified dynasty in the history of Myanmar - the Bagan Dynasty."

"The unified dynasty of Burma was only established in 1044?" Zhu Youzhen calculated in his heart that he was three thousand years later than the Han people.

"In the twenty-fourth year of Mengyuan to Yuan (1287 AD), Kublai Khan led the Mengyuan cavalry to invade the Bagan Dynasty, so that the Bagan Dynasty lost its independence, and in the fourth year of Mengyuan Yuanzhen (1297 AD), the Bagan Dynasty officially perished, and Mengyuan set up the 'Burma Central Province' here, which was later incorporated into Yunnan Province."

"What, Mong Yuan once ruled Burma in its entirety? What other reason does the Ming Dynasty need to conquer Burma? The Ming Dynasty inherited the rule of Meng Yuan, and wherever Meng Yuan ruled, it should be the land of the Ming Dynasty. "Zhu Youzhen is ecstatic, this one is enough, why bother to find countless reasons that are not sufficient?

"Your Majesty, the rule of Meng Yuan in Myanmar is not long, so Myanmar is not completely naturalized, almost at the same time that Meng Yuan destroyed the Bagan Dynasty, the Mon people established the Baigu Dynasty in the south, the capital Baigu, and the Shan people established the Ava Dynasty in the north, the capital Awa, in addition, in the land of Myanmar, there are many small countries such as Donghu, Mengyang, Mengmi, Arakan, etc., and the Baigu Dynasty in the south is the Baigu in the Ming classics."

"Oku......"

"After the end of the reign of Meng Yuan, there were fierce wars between these countries, the largest of which were the Baigu Dynasty and the Ava Dynasty, which broke out into a long war, which was called the 'Forty Years' War in the Ming classics, and the war weakened the strength of these two countries."

“……”

"The long war between these two countries made a large number of domestic people exile to Donggu, and the Donghu Dynasty gradually became stronger, in the eighteenth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1539 AD), the Donghu Dynasty destroyed the Baigu Dynasty, and moved the capital to Baigu in the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1546 AD), and in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1555 AD), the Donghu Dynasty destroyed the Ava Dynasty and realized the second unification in the history of Myanmar."

"Cranes and mussels compete, fishermen profit, which clan built this Donghu Dynasty?"

"His Majesty, is the Burmese people, they account for the majority of the Burmese population, the Burmese are more warlike, since the establishment of the Taungoo Dynasty, has been attacking the south and the north, in addition to achieving the unification of Burma, but also repeatedly invaded the Ayutthaya Dynasty of Siam."

"Ayutthaya? Where did this country come from? ”

"His Majesty, the Ayutthaya Dynasty is in the east of Burma, bordered by the sea in the south, and Yunnan in the north is the Ming Dynasty, which is called Siam in the Ming classics."

"Siam?" Zhu Youzhen is still not familiar with this name, but based on its geographical location, Zhu Youzhen is estimated to be Thailand.

"Now the name of this country is the Kingdom of Ayutthaya, His Majesty, it is interesting to say, the king of Wutong who established the Kingdom of Ayutthaya is still a descendant of the Han people."

"Descendants of the Han Chinese? Is the Ayutthaya Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty still friendly? ”

"Your Majesty, the Ayutthaya Dynasty also belongs to the fifteen non-conscripted countries set by Taizu, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they often paid tribute, but now there is no information."

"Well, I know, you go on."

"In the forty-second year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1563 AD), the king of the Donghu Dynasty Mang Yinglong sent an army of 400,000 troops to invade the Ayutthaya Dynasty and captured their capital Dacheng, but after the Donghu army left, the Ayutthaya Dynasty was successfully restored, and in the forty-seventh year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1568 A.D.), the Donghu Dynasty invaded the Ayutthaya Dynasty on a large scale again."

"Wait for the quality, these histories, the age is not very long, but it is not very credible, how many people does the Donghu Dynasty have, can it organize an army of 400,000?" Zhu Youzhen feels that sometimes history can deceive people.

"Your Majesty, this Donghu Dynasty is like a nomadic people, once a war starts, almost all adult men are soldiers."

"With such a reckless army, I like to fight more than me, does this country still have the ability to develop?" Zhu Youzhen smiled self-deprecatingly.

"His Majesty is right, the endless wars have exhausted the national strength of the Donghu Dynasty, and in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1599 AD), the Aka people occupied Baigu, the capital of the Donghu Dynasty, and the Donghu Dynasty was forced to move its capital to Ava."

"This Donghu Dynasty is still immortal?"

"No, Your Majesty, the Donghu Dynasty has also revived, in the forty-first year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty (1613 AD), the Donghu King Arabi solemnly regained the lost territory, and drove out the landed Portuguese, reunified Burma, the Donghu Dynasty has held on to the present, but they and the Ayutthaya Dynasty are still at war, it seems that the two sides are not in a desperate situation."

"Until now? Without? Why didn't Hou Qianqian talk about the war between the Ming Dynasty and Burma? Zhu Youzhen doesn't understand, why Li Chunye ignores the most important period of Burma's history, is he worried that he is also like the Burmese, reckless and militaristic?
