Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three years have passed since His Majesty made a bold statement about the conquest of Indochina.

However, the war in the south has not stopped, and has even intensified.

When the Ming army came to the Burmese Propaganda Division, the situation changed.

After all, it was their base camp, and at this juncture, the Donghu army burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.

And the prime minister finally made the right decision - to stick to it.

It was the last wail of the dying leopard, and it made the lion tremble.

The Donghu army waited for work at ease, and successively repelled the attack of the Ming army in Ava, Pyin Uwen and other cities, and its morale was strong.

On the other hand, the Ming army was tormented by illness.

The climate of Southeast Asia is not similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

In the previous war, the Bondage Army, no, almost the entire Ming Army, had already appeared to be unaccustomed to water and soil, as well as diseases caused by mosquitoes.

Fortunately, at the beginning, the Ming army could barely support it, and when a large number of diseases finally appeared, the Donghu army had already broken its courage, its morale plummeted, and it became constrained, and the Ming army could still maintain its advantage.

However, two months after the start of the war, at the end of August, there were tens of thousands of sick people in the Ming army, and the rear camp was full of wounded and sick people.

And the strongest combat effectiveness, the most fearless of death, is the hardest hit area - the temperature of the grassland, which is even lower than that in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, and it is even more difficult for them to withstand the climate here.

The thousands of troops in the previous decisive battle were already the last part of the strongest body and barely able to fight. When they suffered a large number of casualties in the decisive battle, the tip of the spear of the Ming Dynasty was completely blunted.

In the war from September to October, both sides were unable to organize a big battle, but only engaged in a tug-of-war on the border, and the Donghu army was too badly beaten to organize a large-scale counterattack, so it could only seize some strongholds in villages and towns with small troops, while the Ming army relied on the Yunnan border army and other troops with terrain experience to encroach in small steps.

In November, the situation of the Ming army improved, and Yang Hao immediately launched an offensive again - the previous situation appeared, and the situation was no longer like a bamboo, although the Ming army occupied part of the city, but under the strong walls of the Donghu army, it was also a loss of troops, and the attack on the main cities failed to complete the strategic goal.

The morale of the Ming army plummeted, and they were helpless against the Donghu army.

As the old saying goes, Han Xin leads the troops, the more the merrier, and Yang Hao, his commanding ability, is actually only tens of thousands of people, and he should be classified as a "general" rather than a "handsome".

And before, the reason why he was able to achieve such a victory was also because the opponent was not strong, and he was more head-on against the Ming army, and he had no way to face the opponent's current tactics.

Now that he had reached his limit, 100,000 Ming troops stationed in Mengyang and Mubang, maintaining a standoff with the Donghu Dynasty, and the occupation areas of the two sides were intertwined, and small and medium-sized battles broke out continuously.

Not to mention conquering the rest of the six comforts, I couldn't even get the first goal.

Zhu Changxun decided to change the commander and replaced him with Sun Chengzong, the squire of the military department.

He was appointed as the right governor of the Imperial Palace, and served as the governor of Yunnan and the general management of military affairs.

In two months, he successfully knocked on the defense line of Donghu before the arrival of the next rainy season, and captured the king of Talong, and won another great victory.

The people praised the emperor, and the wealth of Donghu was also transported to Jingshi, although it went through the war, but the king of Talong recuperated and saved a lot of money, which is still a lot of wealth, enough two million.

Is it a war to feed a war? Zhu Changxun's eyes lit up, isn't this a road? And the praise of the people made him fluttering.

"Sun Chengzong, the governor of Yunnan, fought meritoriously, was awarded Gaoyang Bo, and was given a world ticket."

"Order it to rectify military affairs, and then march eastward to recover the six comforts, and admire this!"

The eunuchs came to the camp of the southern army and proclaimed the emperor's will to him.

Sun Chengzong was unwilling, he said angrily:

"Now that the war has been broken, the war should end. Reckless use of force is not the right way to govern the world. ”

Enraged, Zhu Changxun sent the governor of Yunnan to prison and replaced him with a general who obeyed his orders.

Then he pointed to his eunuch and said:

"You go to southern Xinjiang and supervise these foreign officials for me."

The eunuchs were flattered, they had not been exposed to military power for a long time, and this was the first time.

He decided that he must faithfully complete His Majesty's mission.

The war machine was once again in motion, and a steady stream of reinforcements, gold, silver, grain and grass also flowed to the southwest again.

In order to support his ambitions, the Ming Dynasty's finances were continuously invested in the southwest region, and then consumed in endless battles.

Those Xuanwei Divisions are not so easy to mess with, and every step of the Ming army is made of flesh and blood.

The territory of Cochin is close at hand, but it seems to be far away.

However, it has now been 14 years since Wuxing.

If it is converted to the original time and space, it is already the year of Chongzhen.

The cold wave swallowed up the Ming Dynasty, floods and droughts were staged in turn in various places, locusts formed the ocean, the Ming Dynasty has never been so frequent in three hundred years, and it seems that the heavens will also crush the old man who is already dying.

The disaster victims, a large number of people, and even the heavy conscription of the army, the rebel army rose again.

The water conservancy project could not be carried out, and the laborers left behind their farm tools and joined the rebels.

Smoke rises everywhere.

And over the years, the court has not been peaceful.

For the sake of the war, the emperor quarreled with Shoufu many times, and Shoufu even returned the emperor's will several times, which made the emperor furious...... There was also the provocation of Wang Tiqian and Ni Wenhuan, and their relationship deteriorated sharply.

And the most fundamental point is,

The emperor was unwilling to admit his defeat.

It seems that as long as the war is not over, he will still be the invincible emperor.

There is still silver in the treasury, and the water conservancy that has been completed sixty percent, as well as the afterglow of the ruling world, brought the last ray of life to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the locust plague in Henan, please stop using troops and allocate the treasury for disaster relief......"

"Your Majesty, the thieves in Huguang are swarming, the southern army is empty, and they are unable to suppress it, please transfer back the troops in the southern border......"

The exhortations of the ministers sounded in the court.

The emperor waved his hand somewhat indifferently on the throne, dismissed the officials' remarks, and sent them to prison, as usual.

"The last half year, give me the last half a year!"

He was a little desperate, and his eyes were red like a gambler.

On the same day, the Shousuke stood up.

He walked out of the capital and looked at the devastation everywhere.

Gyeonggi was plagued by locusts, and the displaced people continued, but fortunately, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was finally someone to help.

But what about the rest of the provinces?

He didn't even dare to look at the urgent paperwork.

He didn't know his disciples anymore.

But he couldn't watch him go on like this, watch the empire he had shaped degenerate.

Before heading to the palace, he walked to the temple in the middle of the Kyoshi for the first time and knelt down in front of the statue.

"Zu, please save the world."

He whispered.

If you don't like to watch it, then I'll pass this paragraph quickly. (ｐq）
