"Look at what this place looks like? All the splendid temples and stupas are all temples and pagodas, and the common people live in bamboo shacks, and they don't have enough to eat. ”

Accompanied by Mandeli, the bear prince climbed a mountain, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became: "Desperately looting the people's fat and ointment to build temples and pagodas, this is the most cruel sect. Since we have already come here, we must vigorously rectify the situation, and we must absolutely not tolerate and nurture traitors. ”

Mandeli nodded: "I'm afraid you're not happy, the so-called Buddhism here is simply a copy of the Hindu Sexual Power School, what are they called the Ali Sangha School, I once heard His Holiness Thubten say it." The faction advocated drinking alcohol and eating meat, raising the Ming mother, and building the Ming mother sandalwood field, which was simply unsightly. ”

"Childe, what you see now is still a small part, there are more than 1,000 temples and more than 5,000 stupas in the city of Bagan in the south, accounting for 20,000 hectares of high-quality fertile land, which is simply incredible. If you add up the temples and pagodas around Ava City and Bagan City, it covers an area of more than 50,000 hectares. ”

Xiong Chu said angrily: "I won't say anything about how hateful the Ali Sangha sect is, and I won't say how many people can be supported by these 50,000 hectares of land. Just tens of thousands of stupas and thousands of temples need to be built, how much manpower and financial resources will be spent?

Mandeli shook her head: "Childe, you are wrong, you only saw the lonely temple pagodas, but I am afraid that you don't know that the land around these temples and pagodas belongs to the temple." In the area around the temple and pagoda, there are absolutely no people cultivating it, and it is not even possible to live there. ”

"In their opinion, what is that, people? Wherever there are many temples, the common people must be impoverished and unconcerned. This is an immutable law that has never changed. Because the person who caused this end is the head of the land. ”

When Prince Xiong entered Ava City (present-day Mandalay), it was already mid-November of the ninth year of Chongzhen, and at the same time announced that Awa's consolation envoy had returned to the hands of the Ming court.

The battle to capture the city of Ava was completed by the elephant army of Burgud and the sailors of Zhong Guozhu.

But they did not capture the king of Talon, Talon, and finally occupied an empty city, which left them depressed for a long time.

Huo Lianshan ambushed three small British warships with eight cannons, and finally won the victory without the slightest loss.

Although the enemy's third ship still opened fire in the end, it was fired in that panicked situation, mainly to cover the wounded two ships from the battlefield and then flee together.

The Britons fled, representing a vast area east of the Mekna River, which had become the territory of the bear prince.

Because at the same time that Mount Holian ambushed the Britons, Naliblay led the main force of the invincible battalion of 3,200 and swept all the areas east of the Mekna River. All the remnants of the army that belonged to the Mughal Empire ended up being taken prisoner.

According to the practice of the Xiong Family's army, all the leaders in this occupied area were arrested and then strictly interrogated, and it was impossible for anyone with blood debts to survive.

This time, unlike elsewhere, all the captives were sent north of the city of Manmo, all the way to Myitkyina, because Zhang Yuxiu, on the orders of Prince Xiong, had established twelve concentration camps in that area, which could accommodate 200,000 people.

Prince Xiong decided to build a concentration camp because none of the prisoners captured by the troops in the south could understand the official language of the Central Plains.

After learning afterwards, only those who entered Yunnan and Sichuan to do business, or those who did business in Shu Dao back then, could understand a little official language.

Ava has been comforting Si Cun for more than 200 years, and these people still can't understand the official language.

If you can't understand the official language, you can't understand the decrees issued by the imperial court, how can this be regarded as a Ming person?

Xiong Chu felt that since these people were unwilling to take the initiative to become Ming people, they needed to take some promotion measures and incentives.

If these people are left to their own devices, they still do whatever they want, then they will be in danger for eternity.

The prisoners who entered the camp for rehabilitation had only one task, which was to build terraces, build artificial water wheels, and expand the roads in the mountain villages according to the plan of Nankan Province.

The criterion for these prisoners to be able to get out of the concentration camp was to be able to speak the official dialect of the Central Plains. When to learn, when to come out and enter a new village, to learn new rules and habits.

For this reason, Zhang Yuxiu specially recruited a large number of local people, all of whom could understand some official language, and then entered the concentration camp as a gentleman after training.

Xiong Chu's order on how to deal with the people in the concentration camp was 16 words: "Eat well, work well, study seriously, and the criminal law is strict." ”

The fact that the bear prince was able to take Ava City without bloodshed is a long story.

After the launch of the two new warships, they will have to go on sea trials, otherwise no one knows whether they have been successfully copied.

Since it is going to be a sea trial, of course, it needs a relatively wide body of water, and the wide water area is all in the lower reaches of the south.

After asking for the consent of the prince Xiong, the Irrawaddy River valley took the lead with five warships that captured the Portuguese, with the new warships in the center and his own warships behind, and then went down the river to the city of Ava.

The trial voyage of the new warships in the Chindun River valley was led by the Dutch battleship Admiral, and the new warship was in the center to flank the city of Awa.

Unexpectedly, when Zhong Guozhu rushed to the river in Yesejiu Town on the Admiral battleship, he happened to see a large number of fleeing people.

The town of Yesejiu is where the Chindun River joins the Irrawaddy River, which is wide and cuts off the western part of the city.

Because more than 100,000 people fled in flocks, Zhong Guozhu was very angry: "I am now coming to suppress the rebellion on behalf of the imperial court, and I am not a bandit or robber, what are you running? If you treat the imperial army like you, then don't turn the sky up in the future?"

It was useless to be angry, Zhong Guozhu ordered the Admiral battleship to move forward quickly, and all the civilian boats, sampans, and bamboo rafts that escaped were driven to the shore.

Then he went down the river and occupied the town of Bagan, completely cutting off the way of those fleeing people, and arrested more than 170,000 people at once.

Bulgud led the elephant army to rush over, and Zhong Guozhu learned that King Donghu had already run away, and there were less than 400 old and weak soldiers in Ava City.

Zhong Guozhu quickly made a decision: "Burgud, now I don't have the energy to know where Talong has fled, we must first deal with these people who fled indiscriminately. I don't think they're being indoctrinated, which is not a good sign. If there are unscrupulous people spreading rumors here in the future, they will rebel again. ”

"It seems that the lord's decision to replace the people here is very necessary. Since these people like to run around, let them run all at once. You leave a thousand infantry troops to defend Bagan Town, and use cavalry to escort these fleeing people to Manmo City, and let Lord Zhang Yuxiu find a way to deal with it. ”

This time, he occupied the three empty cities of Ava City, Yesejiu Town, and Bagan Town, and he didn't get anything at all except for catching 170,000 people, which made Zhong Guozhu even more angry.

"Do you have a fart to be angry?" "The bear prince was even more angry when he arrived in the dilapidated Ava City: "I'm sorry to be angry here, I don't have time to be angry now." Hurry up and count the people who did not flee, and then make every effort to subsidize them. ”

"Food? You actually asked me for food? Pass on my order: Ava City, Bagan City, including all the temples in our occupied area, except for one three-month grain left, all handed over for disaster relief, and those who violate the order will be executed!"

"You must remember that all the people who did not flee with others were given a hundred pounds of food each. All the people who fled and came back by themselves were given fifty pounds of food each. ”

"All those who escaped and did not come back, but were brought back by the army, all children under the age of six were raised by us, and the rest, both men and women, were sent to concentration camps for reform. In the future, when they enter other places, they will order all temples to hand over their food, and treat the people according to the rules of this time. ”

Zhong Guozhu did not dare to slack off, not only the relief of the victims needed food, but also his own army, and the northern province of Nankan needed even more food.

He was angry because he didn't get anything this time. Now that he heard that he could attack the temple, Zhong Guozhu suddenly came to his senses: "Don't be angry, my lord, although Ta Long took everything away, his palace is still magnificent, and the ruined places are the places of slaves." ”

Prince Xiong shook his head firmly: "I won't live in the royal palace of Talon, this is the yamen of the Governor's Mansion of Ava Province in the future." In the future, you should pay attention to the fact that no one is allowed to live in the best places in the occupied areas, and they will all be converted into local yamen. ”

"The monks of the temple who disobeyed the ban were all expelled from the country, and the temple was converted into a persuasion school, and people were arranged to teach us farming techniques and teach us the official dialect of the Central Plains. At the same time, I would like to tell my brothers that if in the future, if the individual's residence exceeds the standards of the local yamen, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

In the next two months, Xiong Chu commanded the army to recover Mitiera, Guli, Dagon, Pinmala, and Magway, and the second battle of the Western Front army ended.

Achorize's camp was stationed at fortification, Bourgud's elephant camp was stationed at Magway, and the Vistoriri Kokang battalion was stationed at Mithila in advance.

In this way, the front line of the Western Front army and Wan Lian's middle lane army were finally connected, and the situation of mutual support was finally formed, and it was no longer a separate battle, and Xiong Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiongchu is most interested in Mitiera, which is said to have been an artificial reservoir used for irrigation in ancient times, and is surrounded by cotton.

Handmade textiles are very well developed in the region, and the production of cotton cloth is high. It's a pity that the textile technology here is very backward, and the cotton cloth spun is very coarse.

This Xiong Chu had no choice but to wait for the Zhennan Provincial Nongsang Academy to send someone over to guide and improve, because all his attention was on Ren'anqiang in Magway Town.

Xiong Chu's attention was attracted to Ringanqiang, but after Burgud led the elephant army camp into Magway and launched a crackdown on bandits, he discovered that Ringanqiang means "oil river", and that a large amount of fierce fire oil (oil) is mined here.

This is the largest strategic resource area, and of course Xiong Chu cannot take it lightly, and the defense force in the rear, the Weishiori Kokang Battalion, is to hold the Mithila cotton production area and the Ren'anqiang oil field area.

The fundamental purpose of guarding the oil field area is that the evil sect Taoist Meng Fan and the more than 100 evil sect brothers he collected have tried to refine fierce fire oil in the process of alchemy, and it seems that there is some wonderful progress.

This time, all of them have to entangle the Portuguese and Dutch how to make zuò glass, just because they need to blow out the glassware, and the evil Taoist Meng Fan is still waiting to use it.

Thinking of the evil Taoist priests, Prince Xiong thought of the Portuguese and the Dutch, if dealing with these captives, it would really become a big headache.
