Yang Hao soon led the army to the southwest border, and Mu Tianbo led the border army to join it, and the offensive against the Donghu Kingdom officially began.

And the army of the Donghu Dynasty, under the leadership of their general Mang Yanhu, went north to compete with the Ming Dynasty. Their king believed that after several years of hard work and geographical advantages, they might not lose to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

The two sides fought for three months, and the Donghu army was defeated and won less, and although King Talong stayed in the capital every day, the battle line was constantly advancing towards him.

By the time of October, the Ming army had basically recaptured most of the areas of the two Xuanwei Divisions of Mengyang and Mubang, and the Donghu Army had lost more than 100,000 troops, and the battle line had been pushed back to the Burmese Xuanwei Division, and the Ming army had even arrived at the important town of Ava.

In the court, King Talong's face was dark.

The general Mang Yanhu hung his head and did not speak.

The prime minister was silent.

Obviously, he didn't expect that their army, compared to the Ming army, would have such a big difference in combat effectiveness.

After all, what the prime minister said at the beginning was problematic from the beginning. Yang Hao is certainly not a famous general in the Ming Dynasty, but at least he has been in the military for decades, and he also has the ability to fight.

And because Portugal was blocked by Luzon, the Donghu Dynasty in this time and space was unable to contact them, and the weapons and equipment obviously fell behind the Central Plains Dynasty. The Governor's Palace of Luzon had blocked technology from the increasingly powerful Tungoo Dynasty, and advanced firearms would not be transmitted there. The generational difference in weapons leads to a difference in combat effectiveness.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army was not as unbearable as they imagined, among which the fetters were even more fearless of death, and the battle of crossing the river in the final decisive battle was that these cavalry crossed the river first, regardless of casualties to cover the follow-up Ming army, resulting in the final collapse of the Donghu army.

The prime minister, after all, was just a minor official before he defected to the Ming Dynasty. If he is really a person with identity and ability, how can he leave the splendid and prosperous place of Daming?

In the past, it was okay to deal with some bureaucrats in the southwest, but when it comes to dealing with the whole world...... That's a bit inferior.

It's not uncommon for judgments to be wrong.

"For today's plan, I can only pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in order to get a temporary rest."

The prime minister was silent for a moment, but finally spoke.

The ministers looked depressed, and no one came out to refute it.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, the prime minister gave them a shot of chicken blood before, and now they are defeated like this, they suddenly lose their courage, and even more fear of Daming.

King Talong was silent, but finally let out a long sigh and waved his hand.

……

"Yes, yes!"

When he saw the battle report, Zhu Changxun happily slapped the table hard.

"More than 100,000 enemy troops were killed and wounded, and the loss of soldiers and horses in the headquarters was only more than 40,000, including more than 19,000 people in the fetter army, a great victory, this is a great victory!"

He said loudly, in an excited tone.

Yan Chenhao was also very happy, the results of this battle were outstanding, and he recovered his homeland such as Mubang and Mengyang, not only the surrounding Tusi once again expressed his submission, but even the King of Talong of the Donghu Dynasty also expressed his willingness to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty again.

Go to the king, return to the headquarters of the Myanmar Propaganda Division, and are willing to give compensation to the Ming in exchange for the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think they can accept Donghu's submission, and we will make them pay a price for their defeat, and then end this war." Yan Chenhao saluted, and said to the emperor in the midst of a happy song in the court.

"We can reduce the land of the Burmese Xuanwei Division and transfer its richest land to the Tusi of Mubang and Mengyang as compensation, and at the same time weaken the national power of Dongoo."

"The amount of compensation can be set at a larger amount, which makes it difficult for Donghu to repay it in a short period of time and let them bleed."

"With the Great Tomorrow soldiers to rely on, they will definitely not dare to refuse, and with this few moves, they can surrender without a fight, and it will be difficult for the Donghu Dynasty to turn over for at least ten years."

As for ten years from now...... If Da Ming didn't have the ability to beat the Donghu Dynasty at that time, he Yan Chenhao wouldn't have to do it.

"Why bother!" After listening to Yan Chenhao's words, Zhu Changxun waved his hand and said with a big grin:

"Order Yang Ho to reorganize the army, and then ......"

His eyes lit up:

"Then continue to the south and wipe out this so-called Donghu Dynasty!"

The feat of recovering a little territory is as majestic as destroying the country!

Yan Chenhao was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but Zhu Changxun had already stood up, waved his big hand, and his eyes flashed with brilliance, which was excitement and excitement:

"Then order him to lead the army, continue to go south and east, recover all the land of the six comforts, and connect with Jiaozhi to the east!"

"These toasts are disobedient, not once or twice, and I don't want to be patient anymore. Since they were unwilling to obediently obey the Ming Dynasty, I destroyed them all, and then garrisoned and opened the mansion. ”

"Like a toe, forever for me!"

Obviously, another victory, another surrender of the enemy, the emperor was very excited, and he ordered the historian to hasten to write down the affairs of Donghu, and at the same time issued his own bold words.

When Yan Chenhao heard this, he couldn't help pursing his lips.

In his opinion, it was enough to recapture Mubang and Mengyang, the two Xuanwei Divisions on the periphery of the Ming Dynasty, and ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty's frontiers.

Of course, he also knew that the surrender of King Talong must not be sincere, but the consumption of the Ming army was also very large, and the treasury was about to bottom out, so it was not very wise to continue the war, so he proposed those plans that could weaken Donghu without using troops.

He wants to stop the army, and the strategic goal has been achieved.

He didn't think about a war, so he completely restored the old system of six comforts.

He was confident that, after several years of politics, the boundaries of Yongle would be restored even further, but this was by no means now.

What the emperor said was extremely idealistic, not to mention anything else, the current 250,000 troops alone could not undertake such a conquest task at all, and an increase in troops was inevitable.

At that time, the consumption will definitely increase further, and in the end, there is even a risk of getting out of control.

Not to mention that at the beginning, Daming didn't know how much time and manpower and material resources he had spent just to completely occupy a Jiaozhi, and now such a large area of land is to be completed, and it is also a big project for decades, and the consumption is even more incomprehensible.

However, time, manpower, and material resources are what the Ming Dynasty urgently needs now.

It is irrational to abandon long-term plans for the sake of the moment.

After all, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and things have to be done step by step.

He immediately put forward his opinion and made it clear that he was against it.

"Nope." Zhu Changxun said:

"Now that the situation is so good, how can we stop the army? Ge Lao, you don't understand military affairs, you should take advantage of this great victory now to recover all the homeland of Liuwei in one fell swoop, otherwise you will delay the warplane, if you follow what you said, go back and go back to the expedition, and then you will have to start again! ”

"And there are Cheli, Eight Hundred Dadian and other Xuanwei Division, they dare not face my Daming, it is to betray it, if you don't ask for it, where is the majesty of my Daming?"

"As for the matter of money, the taxes paid in Wuxing for eleven years have arrived in Beijing one after another, and soon the treasury will be full again, and the war will continue, why not?"
