On 9 October, the 18th Division of the Ming Expeditionary Force and the Anglo-Indian Bangalore Regiment met unexpectedly at the hill fortress of Ppa'an, 200 kilometers east of Yangon.

Today's British have also learned the tactics of barbed wire, trenches, and machine guns.

In view of the air superiority of the Ming Dynasty, they have also dug air-raid shelters in advance.

But none of that is needed.

Because the first close contact between the Ming army and the Anglo-Indian division was really disgusting.

Mo Bai ordered the execution of all these enemies, including the commander of the legion, a fat prince from Bangalore, who was also executed.

Originally, when Zhu Fugui learned the news, he was going to airdrop a warrant to apply for Mo Bai's punishment.

If you don't keep any other captives, forget it.

How could the Honorable Grand Duke of Bangalore not stay?

How much ransom can I get for that!

How can you kill him?

However, looking at the battlefield photos sent back from the front, Zhu Fugui understood Mo Bai's motives.

Because this is a war with a taste, it has dealt a heavy blow to the mental health of the Ming soldiers.

Not shooting is not enough to appease the anger of the army.

Every year in October and November, it is the traditional religious festival of Deepavali, or the Festival of Ten Thousand Lights and Diwali.

There is nothing wrong with the festival itself, it is a very old-fashioned celebration of "driving away darkness with light, and defeating evil with good".

Many Buddhists also celebrate this festival.

Somewhat similar to the Lantern Festival, Indians also light clay lanterns on this festival and bathe in the holy river.

So far, these customs are still relatively normal.

Even if the holy river of the Indians has a bit of a taste, in the nineteenth century, no one should laugh at anyone, and the Ganges River was probably much cleaner than the Thames and the Rhine.

What really shocked Mo Bai was that these Indians would smear cow dung on each other to pray for good luck when they celebrated Diwali.

And they are not the kind of petty fights that are similar to the birthday of the later generations and the smearing of cake cream between friends.

It's really a semi-liquid cow dung as a pool, and the whole person jumps into it and splashes dung water on each other!

Zhu Fugui has always thought that the manure pool butterfly is just an Internet spoof term like handstand and sulfuric acid bubble D.

However, this is actually true!

When the boys of the 18th Division, according to intelligence, specially selected the enemy's holiday days to sneak attack their fortresses......

Imagine that after a long prostrate wait, endure countless mosquito bites, and wait until night falls, they are finally able to blow the trumpet of the charge, and take advantage of the enemy's carnival to break through the enemy's pillbox and barbed wire blockade in one fell swoop, and rush into the enemy's camp.

Zhu Fugui believed that when the Ming Dynasty descended from the sky, kicked open the gate of the fortress, and saw the Indians who were swimming in the manure pond inside, the eyes of both sides looking at each other were probably dull.

The air must have been frozen for a long time.

The Indians may have surrendered, but what could such a captive want?

I really can't do it.

In particular, the Grand Duke of Bangalore plunged into the cow dung pond with a fierce son, commanded his own personal guards, and took advantage of the geographical advantage to resist stubbornly, and attacked our great soldiers with cow dung, which was even more unbearable, and must be shot on the spot.

And according to the investigation after the fact, Daming's hygienist also found a terrible suspicion.

That is, in the Hpa-an region of Myanmar, there are not so many zebu cattle that are worshipped as sacred cows by Hinduism.

It is highly likely that these Indian soldiers used some alternative material in place of cow dung from the sacred cow.

And what exactly are those alternative materials, the hygienist wants to investigate and analyze further.

As a result, it was ordered to stop by the platoon commander who was hit by a poop bullet.

You're holding back!

Ball ball you're up!

Vomit~~

In short, at the cost of more than 700 people vomiting, more than 300 people suffering from fever, and more than 2,000 people suffering from mental health problems, the Ming Dynasty conquered the fortress of Hpa-An with great difficulty and opened the western gate for the attack on Yangon.

This battle also allowed the high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty, including Zhu Fugui, to unify their thinking.

Hindustan is an unconquerable land for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Fugui asserted at the meeting that it was absolutely impossible for the central court of the Ming Dynasty to come forward to govern India and assimilate it into a part of Chinese civilization:

"The Ming Dynasty is rich in the four seas and rules Zhuxia, but it has no such brainpower and energy, and can rule over these 30 million people and 30,000 livestock!"

Of course, what the Ming Dynasty can't do, the Tatar Song may not be able to do.

Not to mention the whole territory of India, Zhu Fugui felt that Zhao Xiaobao, the king of Shuoshou, should be able to draw the river with a jade axe and establish a local government in a corner of India.

According to the etiquette system, a foreign vassal like the Tatar Song Dynasty was at most equivalent to the king of the county, and after his death, the emperor only gave the two-character nickname according to the title.

Zhu Fugui has already thought of a nickname for Zhao Xiaobao in advance, which can be said to be in the heart of the emperor.

In short, the Ming side believes that it has no ability to educate Ah San, transform Ah San, and build India into another China.

However, the set of Tatar Song who keeps his hair without leaving his head can try it.

The reason why the British and Tatar Song were able to rule India, while the Ming Dynasty was only ready to recover the seven sister states that originally belonged to Burma and Tibet, and whose territory was full of yellow people, was because the goals and ideas of the Ming Dynasty and their governing places were completely different.

Originally, Zhu Fugui was still looking forward to those Jiangnan gentry who followed Li Hongzhang to send etiquette education to those Indians, but now he can't even see a figure.

This made Zhu Fugui angry.

This stinky pastemaker, what can't he do, the first place in pulling his crotch.

If I know where you are, I'm going to have to shoot you in the left cheek.

"Ahh

At the same time, a huge fleet drifting with the tide at 62°40′33.00 south latitude and 60°21′59.00 west longitude, among which the flagship "Duke Lee" was on the deck.

"Brother Baoguo, are you sure this is the route to Tianzhu?"

Li Hongzhang sneezed, tightened his coat, and couldn't help but think, is Tianzhu so cold this time?

Looking at the elder brother Zheng Baoguo beside him, still holding on to the railing, calm and calm, like a generation of grandmasters, looking forward with an extremely firm gaze, Li Hongzhang couldn't help but blame himself: "It's a foolish brother who is confused, what kind of person is Brother Baoguo, just Tianzhu, how can he be mistaken." ”

As for why the voyage took so much longer than expected, Li Hongzhang had already made up the answer in his heart.

Naturally, it was to avoid the British attack on the remnants of Malaya.

Brother Baoguo must have carefully selected a great route, which can surprise Tianzhu without knowing it.

After all, this General Zheng Baoguo, but the first admiral of the Ming Royal Navy, is the old leader of the Ming Navy, Morisha and Wang Zhonghuang, the old leaders of the Ming Navy.

How could such an old hero of the sea read the wrong chart and lead the wrong way?

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.

Li Hongzhang was wrapped in a padded jacket, and couldn't help but think that this old man played with the permission of the Son of Heaven and spent a lot of money to hire the first retired rear admiral of the Ming Dynasty, which is really the treasure on the road to conquering India in the Southern Tang Dynasty!
