"Oh, is that?"

Although Zhu Youxiao has not taken care of the internal affairs of the court in person these days, he is not blind.

Through his own intelligence network, Zhu Youxiao said that he didn't know much about what was happening outside, but he also knew a lot.

But sometimes, Zhu Youxiao would pretend to be blind and pretend to be unaware of it.

After all, even if you are an emperor, it is necessary to hide your stupidity and keep your silence.

Because only in this way can we numb others, make others look down on themselves, and gradually reveal their nature and clues, and even reduce their IQ.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao sometimes does this, which means that he defaults to this approach.

Now that he heard Bi Ziyan report that Myanmar had raided the border and captured the magistrate Xiao Juqian, Zhu Youxiao asked in surprise.

"I have just received the telegram. No matter what, Xiao Juqian said, it was my Ming Dynasty court appointed an official to guard the place on behalf of the emperor. Myanmar invaded the border for no reason and captured the official official. His ambition was obvious. I believe that the Privy Council should be ordered to discuss this matter to decide whether to send troops to Myanmar, punish it, or directly destroy its country, and implement education, so as not to happen again."

Bi Ziyan replied.

"allow!"

Zhu Youxiao replied.

"Abide by the order!"

Bi Ziyan was secretly happy. He knew that he had guessed His Majesty's thoughts again. He had already coveted the jade resources of Myanmar for a long time.

Bi Ziyan was not worried about whether the Ming Dynasty could conquer Myanmar. What he was worried about was how to allocate Myanmar's jade resources in the future, how much the royal family took away, how much to leave the country, how many of his nobles and nobles should be distributed, and how many war coupons to conquer Myanmar should be issued.

Bi Ziyan had to start busy. Although he was responsible for internal affairs, although he did not have the power to launch a war directly, he could instigate the Ming official media such as Chongwen Temple to create momentum and report the brutal behavior of Myanmar on the border first, so that the people could feel disgusted and even hatred for Myanmar.

It even continued to report on Myanmar's occupation of Meng Gong and Mubang in the Ming Dynasty decades ago.

The response from the people was naturally great, and they all shouted that the court should immediately wave the iron fist of justice to Myanmar.

However, as far as Zhu Youxiao knows, since the ninth year of Apocalypse, the Tohsu Dynasty in Myanmar has given up its strategy of external expansion as the new king ascended the throne, and instead focused on developing the economy, and did not disturb the Ming border.

Nowadays, most of the people who provoke troubles on the Ming and Myanmar border were chieftains and foreign soldiers on the Ming side.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is even stronger than the Wanli period. How can we always be bullied passively and cannot actively bully others? Especially those chieftains in the southwestern border who are not completely controlled by the central court. After purchasing the firearms from the central court of the Ming Dynasty, they can still greatly improve the equipment level. They also have a feud with Myanmar, so they will naturally bully Myanmar.

What's more, Myanmar's jade resources are indeed very tempting.

These toasts also hope to mine more jade and sell it to Han people in the wealthy areas of the Ming Dynasty in exchange for more wealth.

Zhu You proofreads that he has no good feelings for Myanmar. He cannot allow his own forces to not fight back after Myanmar no longer actively expands.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao remembers that after Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty fled to Myanmar in history, he sent Emperor Yongli back because Myanmar feared the Qing Dynasty.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, since this is the case, it is better to take advantage of the strong national strength and take advantage of the opportunity when the whole nation likes to expand and annex Myanmar.

Even if the Ming emperor needs to escape into Myanmar, he will no longer have to worry about being extradited. It is just like another strategic transfer, which is still a domestic transfer, and has more strategic depth.

Of course, for Zhu Youxiao, this is also a solution to the Southwest foreign soldiers.

These southwestern chieftain soldiers, such as Miao soldiers, wolf soldiers, and white pole soldiers, can be good at fighting, but in fact, the military discipline is not very good.

Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao has various Imperial Army, he no longer uses them to fight.

However, these soldiers stayed in the southwest and did not allow them to fight and earn money, which was undoubtedly a waste. In addition, it also affected the process of the imperial court's transformation of territory and returning to the current situation.

If these various types of foreign soldiers in the southwest who are good at mountain and jungle warfare are allowed to attack Myanmar, they will naturally consume these foreign soldiers through the Myanmar soldiers, and at the same time, they will achieve the goal of the Ming Dynasty annexing Southeast Asia through the southwest soldiers.

In fact, to attack countries like Myanmar that belong to tropical rainforest areas, only Yunnan and Guangxi are more suitable for foreign soldiers. The soldiers from the north are sent to them and they are likely to get sick.

The Privy Council quickly proposed a specific strategy for the campaign against Myanmar, and recommended that veteran Qin Liangyu be in charge.

Because Qin Liangyu has a high prestige in the southwest.

The chieftains from all sides of the southwest were very afraid of Qin Liangyu, which made it easier to command unifiedly.

Qin Liangyu was familiar with the southwest battle, and she seemed to have expected that the great Emperor Tianqi would conquer Myanmar. When he was ordered to inspect the southwest border defense, he specially investigated Yongchang and Longchuan and other border areas close to Myanmar.

Therefore, when Qin Liangyu was appointed as the general of Dingxi and the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou by Zhu Youxiao, he specially reported that there are five difficulties in conquering Myanmar, namely: it is difficult to run horses, food, marching, transportation, and adaptation.

Therefore, Qin Liangyu suggested that the court mobilize a large number of horses to the southwest first. The transfer of horses is naturally not to carry food for horses and marching in the mountains. If there are horses to carry food, they can save a lot of energy. When there are shortage of food, they can kill horses to satisfy hunger.

"The court now has horse-raising places such as Mobei, Monan and Qinghai. In addition, many good horses have been cultivated over the years, so enough horses can be transferred to pass!"

Bi Ziyan told Zhu Youxiao about Qin Liangyu's suggestion.

However, Qin Liangyu also suggested changing the tactics of the imperial court's large-scale advancement in the past, and instead adopting a large-scale interweaving method, not dealing with Myanmar's local soldiers in the outer mountains, but instead entering Awa directly, so as not to delay the war too long, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable the Ming side.

Because according to the investigation of Qin Liang's Jade Emperor, the miasma in Myanmar begins in the fourth month of the lunar calendar and is the most prosperous in July, August, and 900, the time for troops can only be sent after September, and it is best to end in March.

Zhu Youxiao agreed to all Qin Liangyu's suggestions and asked the Ming navy stationed in Zhenghe Port to harass Myanmar at sea, which was because Myanmar mistakenly believed that the Ming Dynasty was attacking both water and land.

September 24th.

Qin Liangyu brought 6,000 carefully selected 10,000 white-rod soldiers, 5,000 wolves and Miao soldiers, as well as 6,000 local soldiers from other tribes, and more than 3,600 mountain special agent camps from the capital, totaling nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses. He officially departed from Yongchang to Myanmar.

The mountain special agent battalion of the Guards was ordered by Zhu Youxiao to specially train the elites Jiao Lian in the mountains. The entire army used new-style rifled rifles and various individual self-defense weapons. The individual combat capability was strong and was specially used for special operations under difficult conditions. Before that, they had been transferred to fight with the Rakshasa soldiers in the north, and during the Western Expedition, they also fought with the Western Regions soldiers who had surrendered to Lin Dankhan.

Now this time, Zhu Youxiao sent them to the southwest, so naturally they were able to exercise their ability to fight in tropical areas.

Qin Liangyu's initial plan was to "one main and two auxiliary" and divided into three groups, but she knew that the troops he led this time were mainly the southwest local soldiers, that is, the chieftain soldiers, which were complex in composition and the intelligence confidentiality was definitely not as good as before commanding the guards. It was the traditional way of mobilizing troops from all sides to command and fight in the Ming Dynasty. So, in order not to let Myanmar know her purpose, she temporarily changed the plan before setting off, turning the three routes into two routes in the north and south, with more than 10,000 main forces on the south route. She led the north route by Qin Bangping, and the purpose was Awa, the capital of Myanmar.

Because Myanmar does not have a standing army, only Awa's more than 10,000 Royal Guards. The rest of the soldiers and horses in various places are the same as the military forces of the Ming Dynasty in the southwest. They are all chieftain soldiers from all over the country. These chieftain soldiers are the same as mercenaries, and they will listen to whoever gives them military pay.

Therefore, as long as Awa is taken down, Myanmar will be destroyed.

Of course, Myanmar naturally learned about the Ming Dynasty's march towards him not long after, and prepared in advance. However, the head commander of the Ming army temporarily changed his military strategy, causing his troops to be arranged incorrectly.

This arrangement mistake will naturally be much trouble if you want to re-arrange it.

"The head coach of the Ming army is a difficult person to deal with! We have to be more careful!"
