"The rebellion in the southwest has been quelled, and the next step is to comprehensively change the land and return to the stream, and then provoke a border provocation at this time, I'm afraid it will not be appropriate."

In the DPRK, Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu have a relatively close relationship, and some words can be said without scruples. Today, Li Banghua came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do business, and by the way, he talked about the southwest.

The overall situation in the northeast has been decided, and the rebellion in the southwest has also been quelled with lightning speed. It turned out that many officials, including Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu, believed that the imperial court was built in a hurry, and at this time, it was in a hurry to reform the land in the southwest, and it would definitely be very embarrassing in the end.

Some officials offered a few words of persuasion, but when they saw that the emperor could not listen, they still went their own way and used swords and soldiers. I didn't persuade him, and even secretly hoped in my heart that the situation would be chaotic and that the emperor would suffer a big loss, and he might be more restrained in the future.

As a result, several large armies marched, and in just a few months, news of the pacification of the southwest had already arrived. I can't believe it, in the past Ming Dynasty, whether it was the battle between the two fields in Guizhou, or the rebellion of the Yang family in Banzhou, or the rebellion of Lu'an, which chaos together, it must not be protracted, and it took countless efforts to calm down.

Within 50 years, there were the Rebellion of Lu'an and the Rebellion of Banzhou in Guizhou, and the Rebellion of Puming and Shadingzhou in Yunnan. That's all a lesson from the past, but the fact is that they have nothing to say.

It seems that the imperial court has dispatched more than 200,000 troops, but they have also attended meetings of the Military Aircraft Department and listened to reports from the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

After half a year of fighting the battle to quell the chaos in the southwest, the result was that the imperial court did not go out but went in. The expenses for money, food, ordnance and other expenses were not much, and the materials prepared in advance were only transported to the first batch, and the later ones were already supplied on the spot, which was more than enough.

The casualties of the army were even smaller, and now, a battle to quell the chaos that swept through several provinces has been fought for half a year, and as a result, the casualties reported by the officers and soldiers are actually less than 100. The official figure is 37 killed and 80 seriously wounded and disabled. Minor injuries don't count.

This figure once made the princes of the imperial court unbelievable, this is a war?

In the past, in the Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers could kill thousands of bandits casually. Now the southwest of the imperial court is in turmoil, involving several provinces, and more than 200,000 troops are dispatched, but only thirty-seven have died?

However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, etc. are also supervisory agencies, and it is not that the army generals below say that there are only a few deaths, but there are several systems that report separately, and the numbers reported are all the same. All are dead thirty-seven.

The hundred officials of the Beijing division thought that the Southwest Rebellion was so tragic, and thought that it was another rebellion of luxury. In that year, the Lu'an Rebellion fought for more than ten years, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan, involving several provinces, and 400,000 people died in the siege of Guiyang alone.

At that time, the official record was that more than 2,000 officers and soldiers were killed and more than 20,000 rebels were killed, but it is said that in fact the officers and soldiers suffered more than 10,000 casualties. Now this southwest rebellion is much larger than the Lu'an Rebellion. As a result, only more than 30 officers and soldiers died.

In addition, the militia died about a thousand in the war.

However, in the eyes of the hundred officials, what kind of soldiers are the militia, they are at most people's husbands. Of course, this casualty cannot be counted in the number of casualties among officers and soldiers.

Hence the casualty figures of officers and soldiers. The official records of the imperial court are these thirty-seven.

However, the southwest quelled the turmoil, and the reported record was that the Third Route Army killed more than 56,000 rebel soldiers and captured more than 138,000 people.

On the one hand, there were thirty-seven casualties among officers and soldiers. On the one hand, the officers and soldiers killed 56,000 and captured more than 130,000, and the difference between these two figures is too great. But no matter what. This is the result of the official confirmation of the imperial court, and now the imperial court is also judging the merits of this result.

Regardless of whether this number is water or not, at least the official army has put down the rebellion in the southwestern provinces, and they have all been killed in Burma.

Li Banghua did not agree with the behavior of the official army to cross the border into Burma after the rebellion was quelled.

As for the so-called Laos, Burma and other places of three propaganda and six consolations established during the Ming Dynasty, which were later occupied by Myanmar, such a thing is nothing in his eyes.

After all, what is the Lao Propaganda Division, Eight Hundred Dadian, etc., they are already far away in the sky. That kind of Nanyi obstacle land in the 100,000 mountains, what is there to bother fighting for.

In his eyes, those places are just like Annan, there is no need to make a big deal about it, it is not worth it.

But the views of the emperor and the military are obviously different.

Now the soldiers and horses of the three routes of the southern expedition have directly hit the areas controlled by Burma, and they have also seized more than 100 miles of territory along the border at once. That's stirring up trouble.

The rebellion in the southwest was finally put down, and one wave after another was unsettled. Li Banghua is incomprehensible, for the sake of a wild land on the edge of the sky, it is necessary to fight like this?

Ni Yuanlu just smiled, holding the cup in one hand and holding a spoon in the other hand to gently stir the milk powder brewed in the cup, he also added a sugar cube to the milk powder, he liked this fragrant and sweet taste.

"Even if the Eight Hundred Miles of Dadian and other Xuanwei Divisions are barbaric places, they are also the barbaric lands of the Han Empire, how can others be allowed to steal them. The Burmese have been stealing the southwestern consolations for a hundred years, and it's time to take them back. ”

Li Banghua was surprised, "Brother Yuru actually supports the military's nonsense? ”

"This is not nonsense, what is ours is ours, how can we give up."

Li Banghua shook his head, and he didn't bother to argue with Ni Yuanlu.

"How do you think the Burmese will react?"

Ni Yuanlu said with a smile, "The Burmese stole the territory of my Han Dynasty back then, and now the Han Dynasty has recovered their homeland, what can they do and what do they dare to do?" ”

In fact, between countries, the law of the jungle is the strong. Ni Yuanlu now has a deep understanding of this, the country is weak, just like in the Ming Dynasty, then whether it is the Mongols, the Jurchens, or even the Japanese Japanese Kou, they will come to bully you. But if the country is strong, then it can naturally expand its territory. Everything speaks with strength, and now the fortunes of the Han Dynasty are flourishing, but I heard that Myanmar is beginning to weaken, a small and barbaric country, how dare it go against the Han Dynasty, anger the Han Dynasty, and directly destroy them, and then even their land will be the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Li Banghua talked about Annan.

At that time, Ming Taizu once listed Annan and other places as non-conscripted countries, but when Ming Chengzu sent troops to destroy Annan, set up prefectures and counties, and classified them as directly under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.

But since then, Annan has been turbulent, rebellion continues, the imperial court has continued to use troops in Annan, spending countless money and food, killing and wounding countless soldiers, but finally had to evacuate Annan.

Li Banghua is very worried that the actions of the big Han in Myanmar will be this ending.

With the strength of the Han Dynasty, it will naturally not be too difficult to defeat Burma, but it is not easy to rule that wild land for a long time. Just like the successive generations of kings in the Sui and Tang dynasties, in order to deal with a Goguryeo, they really tried their best to conquer the country, but as a result, even if Goguryeo was destroyed during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, he still had to withdraw his army soon, but instead made wedding clothes for Silla in vain.

Li Banghua felt that this kind of conquest was even more of a great accomplishment of the king, and the reckless use of military force did not benefit the country and the people at all.

Liu Jun is also watching the reaction of the Burmese people.

After crossing the border for more than 100 miles, the Han army of the Third Route stopped and did not go too deep. They obeyed Liu Jun's will and waited for the Burmese to react.

But until now, the Burmese have lost hundreds of miles, but there is no response.

This made Liu Jun a little surprised, these Burmese people, are they pretending not to know?

Liu Yongsheng, the new privy envoy, asked the emperor, "At present, the Burmese people are reacting like this, but we can't figure out their intentions, and we don't know how to arrange the next step." ”

Liu Jun thought for a while, "Since the Burmese are like this, then we don't need to be polite to them, take advantage of the current army to focus on Mengyang, Mubang, Eight Hundred Dadian, Laos, Cheli, and Burma Liuwei to recover." ”

"If the Burmese resist, this could lead to a full-scale war."

"We don't have to worry about a full-scale war, this time the imperial court quelled the rebellion in the southwest, if we don't take back these six comforts now, I'm afraid that we will have no reason to take them back in the future, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, we cannot miss it."

These six comforts, now Cheli has been controlled by the Han army, the small eight hundred of the eight hundred Dadian, Mengyang and Mubang are also controlled by the Han army, and the remaining Laos and Myanmar are not difficult to take.

However, the two consolations of Myanmar and Laos are not Myanmar and Laos in later generations, but only equivalent to part of the boundaries between these two countries in later generations. Among them, the Burmese Xuanwei Division was the upper Burma region near Monyang and Mubang, and later it was the territory of the Ava Dynasty, but later the Forty Years War between the Ava Dynasty and the Baigu Dynasty completely dragged them across, allowing the small country to get the opportunity to finally conquer Upper Burma and other regions.

Therefore, the Myanmar Propaganda Division and the Lao Propaganda Division are actually close to Yunnan.

However, the area of these six Xuanwei Divisions is still very large, which is equivalent to expanding Yunnan Province by a circle, and the area is not smaller than Yunnan in total.

Liu Jun planned to divide Yunnan and Sansi and Liuwei into three provinces at that time, with Sansi in the southwest of Yunnan and Mubang, Mengyang, and Burma in Sanwei set up one province, and Menggen, Cheli, Babai Dadian, and Laos in the southeast of Yunnan to form one province, and connected to the reduced Yunnan, it became three provinces.

Such a subdivision was also to strengthen the central court's control over these places.

Of course, to divide it into three, the first premise is to take back the six comforts, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"For the six consolation officials who are willing to take the initiative to join them, give preferential treatment and give some rights appropriately."

"Ava and Bagan City must be taken down." Liu Jun made a special request.

Ava was the center of Upper Burma and was once the capital of the Ava Dynasty, while Bagan City, south of Ava, was once the capital of the powerful Bagan dynasty in Burma.

Both cities were built on the rich plains, where they were grain-producing regions, and the Great Jinsha River joins the Mole and Ava rivers and flows east into the sea.

Although Liu Jun now says that he is only to recover the six comforts, and the Myanmar Comfort Division only refers to the Myanmar region, in fact, Liu Jun will not really be satisfied with this. If they can successfully control Mengyang and Mubang, and capture Ava and Bagan, then the Han army can completely go down the Dajinsha River and open up the southern outlet to the sea. At that time, the imperial court will have access to the sea, control the coast, and establish ports. At that time, it will no longer be completely dependent on climbing mountains and mountains, and you can come directly from the sea.

Even if it has a port to the sea in Burma, the imperial court can in turn use this as a base to develop to the South Seas.

"By the way, Vietnam, don't do it for the time being." Liu Jun confessed again.

Since it is necessary to make a big move in Burma, it is naturally not suitable to start a war in Vietnam at this time, and fighting on two fronts should be avoided as much as possible. (To be continued.) )
