A person’s calculation is not as good as a father’s calculation!

When a certain new emperor planned to transport 30,000 prisoners to New Guinea in batches, Zheng Zhilong suddenly came to report. After hearing the news, the dumper sent people to stop the fleet and intercepted these people.

A certain new emperor received the letter and opened it. He was so impressed that he actually had the idea of ​​taking prisoners and planned to use these people to fight against Burma!

The scapegoat dad is already fifty this year, but he still thinks about the revenge for Emperor Yongli’s murder in Burma as mentioned in the Book of Retribution!

And after enduring it for so many years, when a certain new emperor went on the Northern Expedition, this father didn't mess around in the south, which is commendable.

Now if you ask for someone, a certain new emperor will have to give it, not to mention that the dumper has also offered a good price.

A braid costs one hundred taels of silver. If you round up to thirty thousand, it will be converted into three million taels of silver.

However, weapons and equipment and other personal combat supplies must be provided by Beiting before Nanting can give money.

A certain new emperor had no shortage of trophies captured here. It could be said that he had everything he wanted, which could fully satisfy the demands of the scapegoat.

It would also be a good choice to use the three million taels of silver obtained from selling prisoners to make deals with France and purchase a large number of Black Uncles.

However, the plan to use this group of people to conquer Nanyang failed, and a large number of German mercenaries had to be mobilized to lead the charge.

Looking at the attitude of the blame dumper, he is going to fight to the death with the King of Myanmar.

According to reports from intelligence personnel working in Nandu, Nanting has organized and trained about 100,000 regular troops, which are troops capable of fighting in the field.

If these 30,000 prisoners are used to lead the battle, under the leadership of the blame-shifting father, maybe we can really defeat the Burmese gang in one fell swoop!

It is said that the fiefdom of the fifth prince will be there in the future. This can be regarded as the biggest gift from the blame-sucking father to his beloved son.

Speaking of the three major campaigns of Wanli, almost everyone knows them.

But in fact, before the expedition to Kimchi, the Ming army had already deployed troops in Myanmar on a large scale, and even the famous general Deng Zilong participated in the combat operations against Myanmar.

Let’s start with Mang Yinglong (1516-1581), the white-eyed wolf. Before this guy was born, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Fu Youde as the Southern General at the beginning of the dynasty, and Lan Yu and Mu Ying as the left and right deputy generals. , sent 300,000 troops to attack Yunnan.

After defeating the Duan clan in Dali, he fought a decisive battle with the Luchuan army that invaded Yunnan, and won a complete victory, taking control of Yunnan in one fell swoop.

Luchuan emerged in the late Yuan Dynasty. At that time, it was an indigenous armed group that controlled north-central Myanmar and southwestern Yunnan. Due to its chaotic composition, it was called "Hundred Barbarians" by the Ming Dynasty.

The gangs located in southern Myanmar surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and sought shelter from attacks by the powerful Lucchuan Army.

By the Chengzu period, the territory of the Ming Empire had expanded to the extreme, and Xuanwei bureaus such as Dagu La, Dewu La, Demasa, Babai Dadian (Chiang Mai, Thailand), and Laos were successively established in the Yunnan border areas.

The first three Xuanwei Divisions were all located in Myanmar. In order to facilitate management, Zhu Di also implemented the "gold-lettered red card" system for local chieftains, and issued copper-cast letters, gold-lettered red card edicts and other certificates to the chieftains.

Coupled with generous rewards, during the Chengzu period, the Ming Dynasty was relatively successful in controlling the southwestern chieftains. The chieftains did not dare to make trouble against the Ming Dynasty. It was their own business to conquer each other.

After the "Tumubao Incident" and the capture of Yingzong, Ming Dynasty focused its attention mainly on the north, and then relaxed its management of the chieftains in the southwest.

Subsequently, the "Forty Years' War" broke out in the southwest and northern Myanmar. It did not affect the main areas of Yunnan, but it caused great chaos in Myanmar.

After the "Forty Years' War", the "Taungoo" gang quietly emerged, and the leader of this gang is Mang Ruiti!

By 907 CE and 1545 CE, Mang Ruiti was crowned "King of Lower Myanmar" and "King of Upper Myanmar" successively.

This gang finally controlled the entire Myanmar, so it was called the "Taungoo Dynasty"!

After his coronation, Mang Ruiti's behavior was basically similar to that of Shang Zhou and Sui Yang Emperor, and he was assassinated five years later.

At this time, Mang Yinglong, who was fighting abroad, quickly returned to the army and regained the territory that was about to fall apart in the next four years.

After occupying northern Myanmar, Mang Yinglong did not stop his troops, but continued to invade the north.

By the eighth year of Wanli (1580), all eight Xuanwei divisions around Yunnan fell into the hands of Mang Yinglong.

Mang Yinglong once said: I have millions of armored soldiers and tens of thousands of war elephants, so why should I fear the Ming Dynasty?

Chieftain Mengyang once presented the captured Burmese army elephants to Yunnan Governor Wang Ning, but the latter returned these trophies to Mang Yinglong, along with a large number of gold coins!

Later, Meng Yang, who lost the support of the Ming court, was captured and killed by Mang Yinglong. The ambitious Mang Yinglong died of illness during the battle in the ninth year of Wanli.

The next year, his successor, Mangyingli, sent nearly 200,000 troops to invade Yunnan in three groups!

After hearing the news, the Ming court was greatly surprised and immediately adjusted its strategy towards the southwest.

Generals such as Deng Zilong and Liu Wei were ordered to lead their troops to fight against Burma, and they were allowed to bring their retainers and recruit troops on their own.

Even equipped with a large number of war elephants, the Burmese army was far from an opponent in the face of the Ming army, which was good at using firearms, and its offensive was soon curbed.

After that, Mang Yingli, unwilling to accept defeat, continued to gather troops to invade the north, trying to turn defeat into victory, but his army still won less and lost more.

At the same time, due to the large-scale Japanese invasion of Kimchi Country, the Ming Dynasty had to mobilize troops, money and food for reinforcements, causing the counterattack against Burma to turn into a tug-of-war.

The war lasted until the twenty-sixth year of Wanli (1598), when Mang Yingli could no longer play in the homeland, so it came to an end.

The war against Myanmar lasted for eighteen years, and the southwest border has not stopped since then.

Next year is the time when the "cursed water trouble" will occur as stated in the heavenly book. I believe this is the intention of the blame-shifting father...

Of course, King Mangbai of Burma is a piece of trash who doesn’t want to die. If he can be killed by his father, he can be regarded as getting rid of harm for the Ming Dynasty!

In the letter, the man who dumped the pot also mentioned a general plan for the war against Myanmar, which was to send troops all the way from Yunnan, and the other way from the sea to bypass the Indochina Peninsula and land on the coast of Myanmar.

A certain new emperor believes in the ability of the scapegoat. After all, it is a confrontation between two scum and five scum, which is definitely interesting!

In the reply, a certain new emperor still expressed a certain amount of support and gave many reminders.

In terms of money and food, Nanting was not short of anything, but firearms were not as good as the products of Beiting Arsenal.

A certain new emperor also sold a hundred steam tanks, a hundred bronze cannons, 10,000 revolvers, and supporting ammunition to the dumper at a preferential price.

After having steam tanks, the Ming army was no longer afraid of the Burmese army's war elephants. The main question was whether the elephant meat was delicious...

It's okay to fight Mangbai, but you must do it thoroughly.

For the Ming Dynasty, there was no need for this country king, let alone the Toungoo dynasty.

Since the dumpster intends to give this territory to his younger brother, he must eradicate it!

The southern part of Myanmar is dominated by plains, and a certain new emperor also wanted to see how Mangbai could defend against the Ming army's push tactics.

If the scapegoat father brought the well-equipped Ming Dynasty King Master, he couldn't even defeat Mang Bai.

It would be embarrassing for the imperial commander to go on a personal expedition, which would amuse the people in the north for several years!

But after all, he is his father. If he does not pass the blame to himself, the new emperor will still give a hand to his father when the war is not going well.

fail?

That is impossible!

After the Emperor Taiji is completely dealt with, a certain new emperor will use troops against the number one traitor, Burma.

Now that the blame dumper has taken the lead, let's let a certain father go into battle first.

Besides, when fighting in the Nanyang region, hot and humid weather and mosquito bites are a big problem for northern soldiers and horses.

In order to express his sincerity, a certain new emperor also gave 50,000 boxes of Shushuang (Vaseline) free of charge to the soldiers.

I hope it won’t be half-capped by the quartermasters in the south...

After so many years of regrouping, he was still able to copy his son's homework, and his goal was to be a scumbag.

A certain new emperor believed that this time his father-in-law's personal expedition would not fail easily.

Because he was too proud, he would be too embarrassed to return to the court if he lost.

Got it!

A certain new emperor finally figured out how to make a profit without losing money!

Send an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people specifically to capture young men in Myanmar!

Perfect!

These Burmese are very heat-resistant, so they are very suitable for mining in New Guinea!

A certain new emperor looked around the roster and finally locked in on Huang Ting!

This guy is already forty years old, and he is also his disciple. He has never had a good chance to make an appearance before.

There is an opportunity now, it depends on how well he seizes it.

The scapegoat father led his army to fight Mangbai, and a certain new emperor sent his lackeys to capture the strong men. They really complemented each other!

The task of transporting the miners can be left to another of his disciples, Zheng Shengying.

After Zheng Zhilong's generation has gradually aged, the power of the Zheng Group has gradually fallen into the hands of Zheng Chenggong's generation.

It is also time to put some more burdens on these rich second generations, otherwise they will always follow a certain new emperor and be unable to lead their own troops.

In fact, this is not a difficult task. Among his disciples, a certain new emperor recognized the abilities of Wan Li, Gan Hui, and Zhang Huangyan.

Zheng Chenggong was already thirty-six years old, and he was as heroic as ever in his battle against the pigtails, but a certain new emperor always felt that he could not judge the situation, and that he could be a general but not a commander.

Among the many disciples, only Zhang Huangyan was a handsome man, so a certain new emperor transferred him to the special forces. After training, he could lead his own army and fight abroad.

Zheng Chenggong will still inherit the family business in the future and be responsible for commanding the Zheng fleet and assisting in amphibious landing operations.

However, thanks to his father Zhenhai Gong Zheng Zhilong, the wooden battleships in the fleet have been replaced by forty ironclad ships.

The number of ironclad ships is bound to increase day by day in the future, and it is a good time for Zheng Chenggong to catch up.

The army was equipped with steam tanks and the fleet had ironclads.

The two armies possess epoch-making advanced weapons, and a certain new emperor cannot yet tell which service has a greater advantage over the enemy.

When the aircraft comes out, it will be perfect and can form a "holy trinity" strike combination.

However, the first generation of internal combustion engines were less reliable than previous steam engines, and their downtime was much longer than their working time.

A certain new emperor could only spend money while letting a group of people from the Academy of Sciences slowly study it.

At present, airships are almost enough. The result of forcibly mounting an aircraft is that the pilot will be buried with him!

After the beginning of spring, a certain new emperor still had to continue his Northern Expedition and could not give Braid a chance to breathe.

It's just that the commander leading the expedition has changed from himself to Zhou Yuji, and it should be enough to be accompanied by Zhang Huangyan and others.

Because there is good news from the north, that is, the Emperor Chicken has finally died!

Now his opponent has become a smooth chicken!

If this guy is short-lived, maybe it will be Kangji's turn to take over in two years!

Although Dorgon is still alive, without Huang Taiji, the new emperor's serious troubles will automatically disappear.

Shunji's strategic vision is worse than Hauge's, but obviously not as good as his father's. He probably has to listen to his fourteenth uncle's advice.

After announcing the great news on the radio and newspapers, the people in Beidu and surrounding areas fell into great happiness and could not extricate themselves...

Previously, the emperor personally conquered and annihilated more than 200,000 enemies, and now he has received good news about the death of the captive chieftain, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is in sight.

The restaurants, restaurants and even entertainment venues in Beidu were all full because everyone no longer had to worry about being robbed by pigtails, or even being plundered to farm outside the customs.

There was an endless stream of flatterers who came to the palace in the new city, and the new emperor had no time to receive them. He asked his father-in-law Xue Guoguan to receive them in a dignified manner, and the rest was taken care of by the Ministry of Etiquette.

The new emperor's main task at the moment is to study with Zhou Yuji and the generals who are about to go on the expedition on how to continue the Northern Expedition, and while consolidating the results of the previous battle, once again weaken the strength of the Braided Army.

Based on the results of the previous battles between the two sides, Zhou Yuji believed that Braid no longer dared to fight positional battles with Wang's division, and would probably disperse its forces and focus on raiding, guerrillas, hijacking camps, and attacking supply trains.

A certain new emperor also thinks so, but the key lies in counter-guerrilla warfare, especially the suppression of small groups of troops in deep mountains and old forests. This is a very time-consuming, laborious and expensive task.

The opponent has suffered a lot and will not be easily attacked. While pushing forward in a large scale to the north, you must also pay attention to the rear of your own body and not allow the braided cavalry to use its maneuverability to get whatever it wants.

Zhou Yuji's plan was to digest the area south of Shenyang and then control the Anle Prefecture area.

As for the Anle Prefecture area, we should reap what we can sow, otherwise we will not let Braid take advantage.

They took advantage of the dry season to cross the Songhua River, push hundreds of miles north, and return to Luwei (Harbin) to camp in winter.

In the next two years, this can be used as a base to launch a large-scale attack on the braided army entrenched in the area north of the Songhua River.

This time, the troops were divided into two groups. The partial division was led by Hong Chengchou, with a size of about 200,000, including 40,000 cavalry. The goal was to control the area south of Anle Prefecture.

The main force was commanded by Zhou Yuji, including Japanese, French, and German troops, accompanied by Zhang Huangyan's 10,000 special forces and 80,000 cavalry, totaling approximately 800,000.

Departing from Tianjin, we disembarked at Xilewenhewei by sea. Following the route of the last retreat, we advanced to the northwest. The first goal was Luwei.

The advantage of this is that the large number of Japanese troops can shorten the time of transporting troops and land directly at Heilawenhewei from the mainland, which also greatly reduces the consumption of food and grass by land.

After getting permission, Zhou Yuji brought his wife over with him, with the purpose of not planning to teach in another class for three years.

Soldiers can be rotated, but the coach cannot be like a certain new emperor who leads everyone through the process once a year.

Zhou Yuji's move was to put constant pressure on Shunji, either forcing him to run away or forcing him to engage in a decisive battle.

A certain new emperor agreed with this, and would also ask the rotating troops to bring all the supplies needed for the front line.
