"Dang Dang Dang..."
On the mountains one after another, the sound of gongs and golden gongs continued, and some people kept shouting in Burmese: "Folks, come out, there is no need to hide, go home soon, the Yi army will not kill people. You can go home now." You can get food now.”
Most of these shouters are Han Chinese living in Myanmar, and of course some are Burmese. And the reason why they shouted so hard was because they got an extra commission outside of work.
In fact, Yijun had no choice but to hire them to go up the mountain to shout.
As early as when the Yijun entered Myanmar, the Burmese court continued to declare to the outside world that the Yijun was a devil-like existence, and wherever it went, there would be murder and rivers of blood.
As a result, after many Burmese villages were looted by the Burmese army, the villagers had to starve and run to the mountains to escape the war. Gradually, after the Yi army captured them, they found that many villages had become uninhabited.
Although these villagers hiding in the mountains are not scary to the army, if they are not dealt with as much as possible, they may become a destabilizing factor. At the same time, Myanmar’s farmland also needs to resume growing food as soon as possible. This is not only for the sake of Myanmar, but also for the sake of the country.
You must know that the Burmese army looted the village and left these people here just to cause trouble for the Yi Dynasty. If the Yi army massacres them mercilessly, it will increase the Burmese people's hatred of the Yi army and make the next war difficult for the Yi army.
If the Yijun did not do anything, these people would eventually take the risk of robbing the army because of hunger, and eventually be killed by the Yijun. This hatred would eventually be attributed to the Yijun.
Most of the people left behind by the Burmese army were old, weak, women and children. These people were a drag during the war. With food shortages, they would soon starve to death if the Burmese army did not provide food aid. But it is unrealistic to always rely on the military’s logistical assistance.
Therefore, Myanmar relied on this to continuously hold back the pace of the coalition forces.
But that’s it! Although these old and weak women and children cannot fight, they can still do farm work.
Blood transfusion is not as good as blood production. Instead of letting them stay in the mountains for several months to waste time, it is better to ask them to come down from the mountains to replant farmland. By then, it would be much easier for the Yi army to get food locally than to transport it long distances.
At the beginning, many people in the army could not understand Zhang Rui's order to treat the Burmese people well. How could anyone send troops to launch a war in a hostile country to deal with the aftermath instead of destroying it? Isn't this a brain problem?
When Qin and Zhao were at war, Bai Qikeng killed Zhao's 400,000 surrendered troops and no one could say it was wrong, let alone the Burmese?
Of course, no one dares to tell Zhang Rui whether you are mentally ill. Unless he really wants to die.
Regarding the doubts from the DPRK, Zhang Rui just explained: We are teachers of justice and benevolence. We must have a humanitarian spirit and don't just think about killing all day long. What is the difference between us and the butchers of the Qing Dynasty?
Of course, there are also smart people who see through Zhang Rui's intention to annex Myanmar.
But in their opinion, Myanmar is a remote place. How can those people submit to the king's will? The Yi Dynasty wanted to annex Burma, and there was no other better way than massacre to scare them. So they bet that Zhang Rui would lose.
…
"Noimai, is what you said true?" In a village newly occupied by the Burmese Yijun Army, the village chief was gathering the villagers. At this time, the crowd was noisy, and a middle-aged Burmese man asked the young man next to him.
"Of course, I just heard from the village chief that people from the Celestial Empire will come over soon to make an announcement." The man named Noimai replied.
"Dang-dang-dang..." The sound of banging on the iron sheet came quickly.
"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet. Someone from the Celestial Empire is coming. Don't make a sound. If you offend the superior, you will be pulled out and beheaded. Don't say I don't say anything." Under the shouts of the village chief, the gathered crowd quickly fell silent. down.
After a long time, a man wearing a military uniform of the Yi Dynasty slowly walked out, followed by two Burmese translators.
"Hello everyone, I am Song Qingquan, the military commander from the Zhuque Army of the Yi Dynasty. From now on, you will belong to the place under my temporary jurisdiction in the Yi Dynasty." The visitor said without making any more greetings. Soon, these words It was also translated by two translators.
The crowd remained quiet.
They had known about Yi Chao's attack on Burma half a month ago. I just didn't expect that the Yi army would hit their village so quickly. It is said that many wealthy people in the county and town fled to the capital early with their families because they were afraid of the war.
The rest of them who didn't run away felt that they were just poor people, and that the rest of them had a miserable life, and they had no place to stay even if they ran to the capital. It's better to stay here, Yijun can kill or behead him at will.
As for whether this place will belong to Myanmar or the Yi Dynasty in the future, they don't care. They still have to pay taxes if they can survive. Compared with where they will be managed in the future, they are more concerned about what their lives will be like in the future, whether taxes will be heavier, and whether exploitation will be more severe.
"Why is it said to be a temporary jurisdiction? To put it bluntly, we are not interested in your place. You are too poor and we don't like it. If it weren't for your Burmese king Yong Ji Ya who insisted on offending our Yi Dynasty regardless of national security. , we will not send troops to Myanmar. Therefore, we are sending troops to Myanmar this time just to cause trouble for Yong Jiya. As long as you don’t go against us, we will definitely do nothing to you."
After the translator finished speaking, there was a slight noise in the crowd. It seems that what this person said here is different from what they said before.
It turns out that the reason why they experienced war and were plundered by the Burmese army was all because of the king.
At this time, Song Qingquan glanced at the village chief, and the village chief shouted wisely: "Okay, everyone, be quiet. Shangguan still has something to say."
The crowd fell silent again.
"Next, I will announce the decree issued by my Lord Emperor, and everyone will kneel down to listen." Song Qingquan said after bowing to the north.
At this time, except for the two translators, everyone else knelt down under the leadership of the village chief.
"Emperor Fengtian Chengyun issued an edict: Our dynasty is rich, but you are poor. I don't care about your little money and food. Our army will leave after finishing Yong Ji Ya. You Burmese people can eat and drink as you should. It's okay. Just mess with our army. At the same time, in the future, as long as our army is occupying the Myanmar area, all people will be exempted from paying grain taxes for three years. If you have slave status, you will also be abolished and you can apply for land from the Yijun Provisional Administration of Myanmar. Men will have two acres. , one acre for women, half an acre for children, and one year's exemption from grain tax. I appreciate this."
After saying that, Song Qingquan bowed to the north again.
"Okay, the message has been passed on. Did everyone understand it? I hope everyone will spread the word to each other."
