Chapter 353: Le Shi Ji Gong

Li Rusong looked at this scene, his expression was excited, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"No wonder my father wants me to learn the art of war from Jiguo Gonggong and learn Tao strategy from Mr. Qingteng, this is sitting in the rear, arranging troops, looking for opportunities to make a big one, it is more energetic than charging into battle and slashing and killing the head of the lord!"

"This Burmese Dagong City looks quite rich, there are so many granaries, even the Shwedagon Pagoda." At this time, Li Rusong immediately went under the Dagong Pagoda and talked about his inner feelings at this time to Yang Hao, the superintendent of the army and the imperial history of discipline and merit.

"As the public said, I thought that Myanmar was really a wild place, but I didn't know that in southern Myanmar, they actually had so many gold and jade jewelry, and there were already a lot of them handed over to the public according to the routine."

"What's more important is that in the south of Burma, there are a lot of fertile fields!"

"However, in my contemptible opinion, since we can't stay here for a long time, we can only destroy their seedlings first, throw the corpses into the wells, sprinkle all the fields with lime, and burn all the grain that we can't take away, destroy all the local documents, hang up the gold dust of the golden statue of the Golden Tower, and only bring gold back to China!" Yang Ho echoed it at this time and put forward his own suggestion.

Li Rusong glanced at Yang Hao after hearing this, he felt that he was ruthless enough, but he didn't expect that these civil officials were even more ruthless than himself, and then he hurriedly instructed his younger brothers Li Rubai and Zha Dashou to follow the army: "Do what Yang Yushi wants!" ”

"Yes!" After Li Rusong gave the order, he asked Yang Hao: "It stands to reason that Yang Yushi, as a jinshi, did not go to sea to make meritorious contributions to the army, and he could also be an official in the court, why did he risk dying in a foreign country like our martial artists and came here to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"Why, you generals can go to sea to make meritorious contributions, but we Wenchen can't?" Yang Hao asked with a smile. Li Rusong said with a smile: "Yang Yushi knows that I don't mean this, but I didn't expect Yang Yushi to be so bold and willing to take this risk. If you dare to make a name for yourself, maybe it will be faster! Even if Your Majesty is now making great contributions, and the public is not filial piety for many years, there is no need to come to Myanmar to make meritorious contributions, after all, going to sea to conquer nine deaths and one life! ”

"You're right, it stands to reason that this is the case, but I was born in the same Jinshi, and my ranking is not high, if I don't come to Myanmar, I can only start from the county, but because of the imperial court's edict to encourage the scholars to go to sea to serve the country, the quasi-new branch Jinshi reported to go to sea, and the beginning of the sea award is the imperial history or the chief of this kind of Beijing official, there is no doubt that if I come to Myanmar, I can naturally start directly from the imperial history or the main thing."

"What's more, I, Yang Hao, are different from them, it stands to reason that if I want to be successful in my career as a scholar, I can only be virtuous and courteous and famous in China, but I am more willing to make meritorious contributions!"

"Because they are loyal to the courtesy, and I am loyal to the country, in my opinion, even if it is useless in the country, even if they really succeed in establishing morality, in the end it will turn the Zhang family's field into the Li family's field, and the Wang family's industry into the Liu family's industry; It can't increase the wealth of the world at all; ”

"Therefore, I would rather die here in battle than be famous in China, even if I am unknown after death in the future, or even end up in a defeated army and live and die, it is better than empty talk." After Yang Hao smiled, he expressed his opinion to Li Rusong.

After hearing this, Li Rusong said: "It seems that Yang Fengxian is practical, which is really rare among scholars. Yang Hao said: "The Son of Heaven is elegant, and the teaching of the Son of Heaven has not been abandoned without the intention of reluctance, and even respects his words of practical learning, so there will be more and more people who respect reality!" ”

"Yang Fengxian is right! Otherwise, where is the joy of you and me washing the barbarians in blood today! Li Rusong said: "I want to set up a view of Beijing here, and engrave words on the stone to remember this matter, I don't know if Yang Fengxian is willing to write an article?" ”

"How would you not want to make a name for yourself in order to reward your ambition and pride?"

"It's more interesting than playing some false names in China!" Yang Hao said with a smile.

"That's good! Ben Shuai then went and told them to do so. Li Rusong said with a smile. Next, Li Rusong really built a Beijing temple in Dagong City, and carved the stone lettering, and the engraved is to commemorate his great tomorrow's son to capture the tribute, eliminate the bloody merit article, the article was written by Yang Hao.

Li Rusong was very satisfied with this, and felt that he had finally done something as great as Huo Quzhi and Dou Xian.

Yang Hao is the same, and after finishing it, he looked at his article and said to Li Rusong with a smile: "This is even happier than reading your own article after passing the exam!" ”

"This should be a pleasure that the princes of the DPRK and China cannot experience." Li Rusong also replied with a smile. Then, Li Rusong looked to the north and said to Yang Hao: "I have ordered Ma Shilong to lead a battalion of pro-military guards and Yang Huan's Liaozhen soldiers and horses and the green battalion led by Cha Dashou, to the north along the riverside plain, directly approaching Ava, burning grain when you see it, stepping on seedlings when you see it, slaughtering it when you see it, destroying it when you see it, and blowing up it when you see it." Yang Hao nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, next year, it will be difficult for Burmese to invade my Ming Dynasty, and it will be difficult to rebuild the rule." It will undoubtedly be easier to destroy Burma. ”

"Exactly!" Ma Shilong, Yang Huan, and Zha Dashou did lead their troops to continue the northward sweep under Li Rusong's order.

Because the center of the world market in this era was the Ming Dynasty, the capital of Myanmar was located in the north of Awa, that is, near Mandalay in later generations, in order to facilitate the control of the trade route to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the Burmese population is also basically concentrated in the riverside plain near Ava. The progress of the Ming army was very fast, especially the green battalion of Cha Dashou, which was the most positive.

Although they have the lowest salary, but the Jurchen Yiding of this era is cheap labor, for themselves, the Ming court has given too much silver than their original chieftains, not to mention that they are not a farming nation, and they are indeed more affordable to rob the property of the farming nation.

Therefore, Cha Dashou's green battalion was the first to reach the vicinity of Ava, and killed the most Burmese people, especially Burmese nobles and officials.

Because most of the ordinary people are in the countryside, they are more scattered, and they are good at hiding with the help of familiarity with the terrain, but the nobles are mostly in the towns, and they are not diligent and do not know the mountains and rivers, so they are more likely to be captured and slaughtered by the Ming army.

It can be said that the sudden invasion of the Ming army into the rear of Burma was a precise strategic strike of this era, specifically to eliminate the ruling base of Burma.

"Slash!" More than 100 aristocratic officials, including Mang Yingli's uncle Mang Ruilu in Donghu, were all escorted to the riverside by Cha Dashou's Green Camp Yiding on this day, and waited to be beheaded after Cha Dashou gave an order.

Swish! Swish! Swish! These Mang nobles and officials were all beheaded, and the bloody heads rolled down into the river like dumplings.

At the same time, their hoarded food and books in their own language were also set on fire at this time, reflecting half of the sky.

……

"What did you say?!"

"There are Ming soldiers and horses in the south?" Soon after this, Mang Yingli also learned the news that Li Rusong and the other Ming troops had suddenly copied his back road, and stood up in shock.

"Yes, the ministers don't dare to hide it from the king, Dagon has been lost, and the third prince and the fifth prince have been beheaded!"

"The iron horsemen of these Ming people are very fast, and they are riding in numbers, like the wind, and now they have arrived in Donghu!"

"Moreover, their artillery and firearms are also very powerful, and we tried to concentrate our troops and horses to recover the lost city, but we were defeated by their firearms." Mang Yingli's general Pa and Huidao.

After hearing this, Mang Yingli muttered: "How can this be, how did the Ming army get to our rear?!" ”
