    Ordered Huang Yao to prepare for the battle in Yunnan, including dispatching secret operations, collecting intelligence, detecting the terrain, familiarizing himself with the climate, arranging the army, and so on.

    As for the central court, it naturally has to be seriously discussed.

    Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, sent someone to collect information for half a month, and finally came to meet the emperor, and the cabinet ministers also gathered together.

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to a map from a hundred years ago and said: "In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the local barbarians fought against the local barbarians until the end of Wanli.

    The truce was not because the former Ming court won the war, but because the Ming army was unable to suppress it, and Taungoo tacitly occupied all the lands under the jurisdiction of Burmese chieftains.  "

    "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Luchuan Kingdom was the only one. In the first year of Jianwen, the chief of the Luchuan Kingdom died of illness, and his son's succession was unpopular. The Ming court took the opportunity to provoke, and the chieftains of the Luchuan Kingdom became self-reliant and split into the Mu State (Shan State)  North), Mengyang (Kachin State), Mengding (Lincang Gengma), Dahou

    (Lincang Yun County), Nandian (Dehong Liang River) and Lujiang (Baoshan Lujiang Dam), Wandian (Baoshan Changning), Menglian (Lincang Menglian),

    In Zheledian (Pu'er Zhenyuan), only Mengmao, Longchuan and other places are left under the jurisdiction of Luchuan.  "

    "Subsequently, Emperor Jianwen canonized these chieftains, and there were Mupang, Mengyang, Burma and other propaganda divisions."

    "Since then, Luchuan Kingdom has been at war with the former Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. With the support of the former Ming Dynasty, Chieftain Meng Yang quickly rose to dominate for a while. As a result, Luchuan Kingdom declined and was forced to surrender to Ming Dynasty. Daming established Luchuan Pingmen Division. The main enemy of Ming Dynasty  , thus became Chieftain Mengyang, and Chieftain Mengyang conquered the city and established the Awa Kingdom.¡±

    "The Toungoo tribe in the south rose again, annexed Burma (Myanmar Xuanweisi) and other chieftains, and destroyed the Awa Kingdom in the Wanli period. Now, all the chieftains enshrined in the former Ming Dynasty have been annexed by Toungoo."

    Lu Xiangsheng roughly recounted the three hundred years of power changes in Myanmar.

    In later generations, Baoshan City, Lincang City, and Pu'er City in Yunnan Province are now partly occupied by the Taungoo Dynasty of Myanmar.

    Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The former Ming Dynasty not only conferred chieftains, but also sent troops to conquer many times. There are two ways to send troops in the Ming Dynasty: the first is to establish a country with a local power, such as Luchuan Kingdom and Awa Kingdom, and then send a large army.  Raise more than 100,000 troops; the second is to let the Mu family lead troops to suppress the rebellion without strong power to build a country. The Mu family mainly recruits and recruits. When they cannot be recruited, they recruit a few chieftains and gather troops to attack one of the chieftains."

    Everyone remained silent, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to explain the situation.

    Lu Xiangsheng added: "Summarizing the military experience of the previous Ming Dynasty, we can draw the following points-"

    "First, the mountain roads in Burma are rugged and the climate is hot. You can't fight for a long time, and you can't fight in depth. Otherwise, it will be difficult to transport the army food, and the soldiers will easily get sick. Every time a 100,000 army goes out in the Ming Dynasty, they always accept it as soon as it is good.  After winning the battle, use the strategy of dividing and attracting."

    "Second, Mengyang (Kachin State, Myanmar) is very important. The Tang Dynasty is the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty is the territory of the Dali Kingdom. There are many river valleys and plains here.

    The population is relatively dense, and agriculture is also quite prosperous.  If there is a strong power to establish a country in Myanmar, once Mengyang is taken down, the strength will increase greatly, and it will be a trouble for China.  If we send troops, chieftains can be set up in other areas, but Meng Yang must change his land and return to the people!  "

    "Thirdly, the Toungoo Kingdom has long been too big to lose. When it went northward to invade the country during the Wanli period, Toungoo claimed to have sent millions of troops. According to the report of the governor of Yunnan in the previous Ming Dynasty, counting civilians and the like, Toungoo probably dispatched 200,000 to 300,000 troops.  This is the No. 1 powerful country in the south, and it is definitely not comparable to the small country in Annan. In addition, the terrain and climate are complicated, and General Huang will have tens of thousands of people. It may be difficult to please."

    Sending 200,000 to 300,000 troops, has Myanmar been so awesome?

    Zhao Han realized that he underestimated the enemy. He didn't take Myanmar seriously before.

    Prince Narai of Siam is currently studying at Jinling University, and Zhao Han immediately sent someone to summon him.

    The guards of the imperial city rushed out and brought Na Lai into the palace.

    Zhao Han asked: "How much do you know about the Toungoo Kingdom?"

    Prince Narai replied: "All the kings of the Toungoo Kingdom were militaristic, and the territory expanded tenfold in a hundred years. When I was young, Toungoo invaded Siam all the way to the capital of Siam. Thanks to the Japanese hired  The soldiers helped each other, and there was a rebellion in the rear of Toungoo, so the capital of Siam did not fall."

    Na Lai still has lingering fears when he said it at this time. His country almost disappeared back then.

    Prince Nalai continued: "Tungoo Kingdom is expanding too fast, and there are many internal conflicts, especially in the north where there are frequent rebellions. After King Talong succeeded to the throne, he seldom raised troops to expand and devoted himself to rectifying internal forces. King Talong only succeeded to the throne for six years.  In 1999, he moved the capital to Ava in the north. After he cut off the local chiefs, he distributed the land to the peasants. He also organized households, measured land, reformed taxation, reduced corvees, and rectified currency. ThisAt that time, the Toungoo Kingdom, although it did not fight frequently, its national strength was stronger than before!  "

    These words gave Zhao Han and the ministers a headache.

    If the Taungoo country has been militaristic, China will not be afraid, and it will easily win by dividing its internal affairs.  There happened to be some kind of "Talong King". As soon as he heard about this man's policy of administration, he knew that he was a master of internal affairs, which was equivalent to Huang Taiji's in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  "

    Prince Nalai said with a smile: "Three years ago, King Talong died, and the surrounding countries breathed a sigh of relief."

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in a good mood.

    Prince Nalai said: "The new king of the Toungoo Kingdom is named Mangda. This man was greedy for enjoyment, so he ordered the expansion of the palace in the first year of his succession. In order to build the palace, he issued additional corvees and asked the chiefs from all over the country to offer huge trees.  Also raised taxes on farmers."

    Come on, another prodigal son.

    Mang Da is the king of Burma who welcomed Emperor Yongli in history.  Although he confiscated the weapons of the Ming army, he was still polite to Emperor Yongli. After all, Li Dingguo was still resisting the Qing Dynasty at that time.

    But Mangda was so stupid that he made the sky angry and people complained. His younger brother Mangbai joined forces with the ministers to kill the king and stand on his own.  After Mangbai came to power, he designed to kill Emperor Yongli's entourage, robbed Emperor Yongli's wealth and daughter, and tied Emperor Yongli to Wu Sangui.

    Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Is it possible to march troops to Toungoo from the sea?"

    Prince Nalai said: "The capital of the Toungoo Kingdom was indeed in the south, and it was easy to fight from the sea. But after King Talong moved the capital, the center of gravity of Toungoo's rule has moved to the north. It is also possible to send troops by sea, but  Capture its important port city, and if the battle goes well, you can also reach its capital Ava."

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the map and said: "Then attack from the north and the south. General Huang led the army to send troops to the north, and then transferred a division from Guangnan to send troops to the south by sea.

    Zhao Han said: "First determine the ultimate purpose of sending troops, whether to destroy the country or just regain the lost ground."

    Song Yingxing interjected: "Tungoo's terrain and climate are complicated, and the territory is very large. I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy the country. We can't think about eating it and becoming a big fat man."

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the old map of the Ming Dynasty and said: "Luchuan and Cheli must be taken back. Taking these two places and stationing troops at the checkpoint can keep Yunnan safe."

    The ruling centers of Luchuan and Cheli, two chieftains, were in later generations of China.

    The area under the jurisdiction of Luchuan includes a part of Baoshan and Lincang in Yunnan.  Chelisi's jurisdiction includes a part of Pu'er City in Yunnan.

    Lu Xiangsheng raised his finger and said, "The land of Mengyang must also be taken back."

    The area under the jurisdiction of Mengyang is not only Kachin State in Myanmar, but also includes a small area in northeastern India.  At this time, large areas of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur in later generations of India belonged to Myanmar.

    Prince Nalai looked at the map, pointed to the northern part of Laos and said, "This is also the territory of the Taungoo Kingdom."

    Zhao Han drew a circle in northern Laos: "All of them?"

    "Most of them are," Prince Narai finished, and drew a circle in the northwest of Thailand, "This used to be the land of Siam, which was taken by Taungoo decades ago.

    Such a big Burma, it simply impacted Zhao Han's three views!

    At this time, the entire territory of Myanmar includes parts of later China, Thailand, Laos, India, and Bangladesh.

    Prince Narai said: "If your Majesty conquers Toungoo, I will return home to convince my father that Siam can send 5,000 troops to help in the battle. The Siamese army raises their own food and grass, and only wants to take back the invaded homeland after victory."

    "Very good, loyalty is commendable," Zhao Han praised, "As long as Siam helps in the war, China will definitely help Siam regain the lost ground."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Prince Narai was overjoyed. This matter killed two birds with one stone. It could not only please the Chinese emperor, but also recover Thailand's lost land.

    After finishing speaking here, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The rest of Mubang, Mengmi and other places can incite the chieftains to stand on their own. After the war, follow the example of Ming Dynasty and set up chieftains to dismember the Toungoo country, leaving only Burma,  Toungoo and other places."

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "That's it. The goal of this battle is to recover Mengyang, Luchuan, and Cheli, and send officials to manage them all. Then dismember Dongyu, instigate Mengmi, Mubang and other places to become independent,  Canonize chieftains such as Mengmi and Mubang. The land occupied by Laos and Siam should be vomited out by Toungoo. If Nanzhang (Laos) sends troops to help, the lost land will be returned to them. If Nanzhang does not send troops,  After that piece was taken back, the chieftain was set up. And"

    Zhao Han checked the map carefully, pointed to the location of Yangon and said, "This place will be occupied as a naval base and an overseas trading port. In the future, if Toungoo dares to commit crimes, he will send troops directly from the port to teach him a lesson."

    At this time, Yangon, called Dagon, also called Daguang, has developed into a sea trade town.

    Prince Narai reminded: "Your Majesty, if you march from the sea, you can land at Madupa."

    "Where is Ma Duba?" Zhao Han asked.

    Prince Nalai pointed to two hundred miles to the northeast of Yangon: "This is Madupa, and it is also the largest seaport in Toungoo. Toungoo City, the old capital of Taungoo, goes north along the river from Madupa, about 300 kilometers away.  You can arrive there. Although Taungoo has moved its capital, many nobles and wealthy merchants still live in its old capital, Toungoo City. Not far from Maduba to the north, there is also Pego, the big city of Toungoo. Take Bago  City and Toungoo City, the country of Toungoo is bound to be shaken, and the king had to send troops south to rescue."

    It is still necessary to be familiar with the specific situation, otherwise you will not be able to grasp the key points in the fight.

    Zhao Han praised: "If you win this battle, I will definitely reward you!" </div>nbsp;Prince Narai reminded: "Your Majesty, if you march from the sea, you can land at Madupa."

    "Where is Ma Duba?" Zhao Han asked.

    Prince Nalai pointed to two hundred miles to the northeast of Yangon: "This is Madupa, and it is also the largest seaport in Toungoo. Toungoo City, the old capital of Taungoo, goes north along the river from Madupa, about 300 kilometers away.  You can arrive there. Although Taungoo has moved its capital, many nobles and wealthy merchants still live in its old capital, Toungoo City. Not far from Maduba to the north, there is also Pego, the big city of Toungoo.

    It is still necessary to be familiar with the specific situation, otherwise you will not be able to grasp the key points in the fight.

    Zhao Han praised: "If you win this battle, I will definitely reward you!" </div&gt
