    The distance from Bhamo to Laoguantun is not far, only about forty or fifty miles.

    The terrain is not rugged, only some low hills.  But the forest is very dense, with thorns and bushes, and there are a lot of ponds, and the riverside is full of reeds and other plants.

    The melee soldiers opened the way with long-handled hatchets, cutting down thorns and vines along the way.

    Several squads of rattan armored soldiers, with a small number of musketeers, walked further ahead to explore the road, wading over without avoiding the thorns.

    Huang Yao squatted down and picked up a handful of soil, and said with emotion: "Although the soil is mostly sand, it can still grow crops. Why don't these barbarians know how to cultivate it?"

    The guide explained: "General, when the water rises in the rainy season, a large area of ??the river will be flooded. If the amount of water is particularly large, it can even flood the forest. Farming is indeed not as good as the upstream area."

    "fart!"

    Huang Yao glanced at the river, and looked around at the surrounding terrain: "Although this is a sharp bay, the flood recedes very slowly. But from the reed field to the woods, the terrain does not rise much. As long as we build an embankment by the river, it will definitely stop the flood.  Yes. I have seen many embankments in Jiangxi, and building embankments here is no more difficult than building embankments on the Ganjiang River."

    The guide was a Han businessman, and he was speechless after hearing this.

    Those embankments in Jiangxi did not form a system until the Ming Dynasty, and they were always plagued by floods for thousands of years.

    What is the development level of Jiangxi?  What is the degree of development here?  Is it interesting to compare the two?

    Huang Yao said: "After the war, the Ming court had to be ordered to send people from the Ministry of Industry to investigate. First, the Ministry of Households immigrated here, and the Ministry of Industry came up with a water conservancy plan. As long as the dams along the river were built, from the upper reaches of Mengyang to here, along the valley of the river  It will definitely be fertile for thousands of miles.¡±

    It is not possible to travel thousands of miles across the fertile fields, because there are many mountains beside the river.

    But the river valley here is indeed a good place.  For more than a thousand years, many local governments have been born, all of which rely on these valleys to grow food.

    The barren scene that Huang Yao saw belonged to a kind of agricultural retrogression.  Over the past few decades, Myanmar has plundered too many people, and the local chieftains have also attacked each other. The king of Myanmar has also conscripted a large number of corvees in recent years.  All these have caused the population in northern Myanmar to drop sharply, the arable land area to shrink, and many river valleys to become primitive.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Gunshots rang out in the woods ahead, and without Huang Yao's order, the officers of various ministries had already moved into action.

    After a while, the officer in front came back and reported: "Captain, the brothers who explored the road encountered an ambush. One person was killed and six were injured. We killed five enemy soldiers and captured three alive. The rest of the enemy army fled. The enemy army is more familiar with  The terrain makes it difficult to chase and kill. And I was afraid that there would be a large Burmese army ambushing in front, so I stopped the pursuit."

    "Understood, move on." Huang Yao nodded.

    The Burmese army did set up an ambush, trying to lure the Datong army over.

    Seeing that the Datong Army did not fall into the trap, the Burmese army had no choice but to retreat, watching the main force of the Datong Army advance slowly.

    The journey was less than fifty miles, and it took four days to walk through it all the way.

    Of course, there are also reasons for guarding against the Burmese army. The soldiers always protect the food transport team and do not give the Burmese any chance to sneak attack.

    ?The Burmese army defending Laoguantun has more than 4,000 elite soldiers, and there are thousands of rubbish troops from Burmese noble private soldiers, peasant troops, and chieftain soldiers.  More could have been mobilized, but Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan blossomed in the center of the hinterland of Myanmar, and most of the main force of the Burmese army was assembled in Awa.

    The Burmese army planning to encircle Ding Jiasheng has gathered not only two-thirds, but three-quarters of the elite of the whole Burmese.

    "When the Han soldiers fought like this, they didn't sit on boats, and they couldn't be fooled by setting up ambushes. How do you say to fight?" Mang Zhen, the chief general of the old official Tun Burma Army, summoned his generals to ask for advice.

    No one answered.

    Everyone wanted to escape, but they were afraid of being punished.

    Guess where Wu Sangui in history led his troops to capture Emperor Yongli?  Only sixty miles away from the capital of Myanmar!

    The Burmese army can't even stop Wu Sangui, how could it be able to stop the Datong army?

    Of course, what Wu Sangui faced was the Burmese army who had been harmed by the Burmese king for more than ten years.  What the Datong army faced was only the Burmese army that had been harmed by the Burmese king for several years.  At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army was slightly stronger.

    As for the subsequent Qing-Myanmar War, it had nothing to do with the quality of soldiers.

    ? At that time, the Qing army planned to fight a decisive battle, and specially transferred elites from the Eight Banners.

    ? When the troops were withdrawn, Agui sent a memorial to Qianlong, with a list attached

    There were 3,008 people in the Eight Banners Army's Sauron team: 12 were killed, 2 drowned, and 5 officers and soldiers died of injuries.  In China, 50 officers and soldiers died of illness; in Myanmar, 1820 officers and soldiers died of illness.

    The Oroqen Team of the Eight Banners Army has a total of 300 people."

    Hei Ludao originally lowered his head to speak, but suddenly raised his head at this moment: "Your Majesty's head is still needed!"

    "What?" Mang Da thought he had heard wrong.

    Hei Ludao said: "If you don't change the Burmese king, how can you explain to the Chinese emperor?"

    Mang Da finally panicked: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming"

    The palace guards didn't come in, but the king's younger brother Mangbai did.

    The teenager, who was only in his teens, said respectfully: "Brother, for the sake of Myanmar and Awa, please abdicate."

    "You, you, you" Mang Da stood up and backed away, then ran towards the side door.

    Just as he was about to escape, a few spears suddenly stabbed outside the door, and the dignified Burmese king died just like that.

    Hei Lutao didn't even bother to look at the corpse, so he said to Mangbai: "Please send envoys to send out, and the siege of the enemy army on the south road must not be relaxed. We must urge all the ministries to march quickly and completely trap the enemies in Bagan. We can destroy them."  That kind of enemy army is the best, if it cannot be eliminated, those enemy troops are also hostages."

    Mangbai asked: "If the Han army is wiped out, will the Chinese emperor be furious?"

    Hei Ludao said: "Your Majesty, you are the new King of Myanmar. You must remember that you have to be able to kneel and beg for peace, and you must show your fangs."

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Suddenly, an official of the Privy Council ran over and coughed anxiously outside the hall.

    Hei Ludao walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

    The official of the Privy Council said: "Tungoo City sent an urgent report that Siam has captured Bago. Also, Chieftain Meng Yang and Meng Ya asked for help. They also have enemies over there!"

    Hei Ludao, who was confident just now, was dumbfounded when he heard it.

    Except for the west, the other directions are full of enemy troops. How many people did the Chinese emperor send here?

    Mangbai also panicked: "What should I do?"

    Hei Lu hesitated for a while, and said: "Please surrender is impossible. The Chinese emperor has made such a big battle, just to destroy our country. Please, Your Majesty, call all the troops, and eat all the troops in the south.  The enemy. We can only go southwest and lead the army to retreat into the Arakan Mountains in the west of the Rakhine Mountains. Then, wait for the weather to get hot. As long as the weather gets hot, the Germans will die of heat, and then lead the army  The army kills back to Ava!?
