Chapter 531 In front of me, Daming, all are ants!
The Tohyu Dynasty in Myanmar is in its golden age in history.
The monarch, King Talong, worked hard to govern and reform and eliminate evil, which made Myanmar develop well in this era and have relatively strong strength.
Therefore, King Long did not show any panic in the attack of the Ming army, and was even prepared for it. He knew that under the rule of Emperor Tianqi, the Ming Empire was very different from before, and began to actively expand to the outside world, and was very arrogant and domineering.
To be honest, like many foreign monarchs, King Long did not like the Ming Dynasty like today.
After all, the Ming Dynasty in the past could be said to be big but not strong. Sometimes, when domestic conflicts intensify, they can take the opportunity to plunder the Ming Dynasty to divert the conflict.
But the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of you causing trouble, but fear of you not causing trouble.
Therefore, King Long had to strictly order the chieftains from all over the country to be honest and not to provoke the current Ming Dynasty.
However, what King Long did not expect was that the Ming Dynasty would take the initiative to destroy him.
This made King Long very wronged, and he had to admit that those who are the kings are really cowardly and tolerant of whom are wronged.
"Report! Ten Ming army warships appeared in Baigu (Bogu) area, all of which were warships of more than 100,000 yuan, and were iron-armored warships. They had landed, bombarded our Baigu City, and looted all our food!"
But when King Long was seriously dealing with the Ming army coming from Yunnan, he suddenly learned from his command that the Ming army was attacking from the water.
Since the Song Dynasty, China has measured the size of a ship by "material". A large ship with a thousand materials is about 325 tons, and a large ship with a hundred thousand materials is naturally a large ship with a capacity of tens of thousands of tons.
The Ming Dynasty steam engine technology is already proficient and has already had an iron armored steam-powered battleship.
In addition, with the popularization of new-style education, a large number of talents in mathematics and physics have been cultivated. In addition, the Ming Dynasty has opened up the sea, which has led to a significant development of navigation and a large number of talents have emerged.
Therefore, it is natural that ten battleships appeared along the coast of Myanmar at once.
boom!
boom!
boom!
The Ming Dynasty steam iron armored ship, like a steel dragon, directly ignored the Burmese wooden warships, and even drove them closer and directly ran away.
The wooden warships in Myanmar could not stand it and could only withdraw to Bai Ancient City.
Therefore, the Ming Navy successfully landed.
At this time, King Talong was shocked when he learned the news: "Iron-armored warship with more than 100,000 materials? How is this possible? How can an iron-made ship float? Did the Ming army deliberately wrapped the iron sheet or some dye applied outside to confuse us?"
"No! Our navy tried it, and it was really like a collision of iron when it hit. In addition, even if it was not a real iron-armored warship, we could not defeat it. Their artillery was very fierce and could explode directly. At the sea, we were no match for the Ming army at all."
King Talong's subordinates reported.
"Prime Minister Zong, you go to Baigu yourself and withdraw all the navy to the shore. All the troops and horses in Baigu are under your control and resist and defend step by step. I must concentrate my troops to deal with the Ming army from Yunnan first. I would rather lose Baigu than lose Awa!"
After hearing this, King Long did not panic, but made arrangements calmly.
Besides Awa, the most important city in Myanmar is Baigu.
Because before the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the capital of Myanmar was still Baigu.
However, due to the continuous harassment of Western forces such as Portugal and later the Ming armed merchant ships on the coast of Myanmar, King Talong had to move the capital to Awa.
"Reporter Yun, look, there is the solid Bai Gucheng. I have ordered that today's supper be eaten under Bai Gucheng! His Burmese soldiers can only be used as turtles and will not dare to come out to fight with my Ming Dynasty King."
Chen Shouyue, the admiral of the Ming navy who was sent by the Privy Council to attack Myanmar, was standing on the flagship at this time, holding binoculars in both hands and talking to Yun Lian, a reporter from the army.
The troops in Chen Shouyue's mouth refer to chieftain soldiers from all over Myanmar.
In Myanmar, chieftain soldiers are often called military soldiers, while Awa's Royal Guards are called victorious soldiers.
The Ming Dynasty had already prepared for the conquest of Myanmar, so naturally knew this information.
With the application of wired telegraphs, the media industry in the Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly, the newspaper industry has entered the golden age, and even the profession of a military journalist has emerged.
These press conferences followed the army to record some details of the war and sent the reported content back to the domestic newspaper headquarters at the nearest cable newspaper base at the place where the war occurred, so that people in the country could learn about the details of the war as quickly as possible.
At this time, Yun Lian, a reporter from the army, couldn't help but praise him after hearing Chen Shouyue's words: "Admiral, you are so heroic! The war has just begun, and you can take my Ming soldiers to the land for dinner."
Chen Shouyue smiled indifferently: "What's the matter? Looking at the world today, who is my Ming Dynasty rival above this blue wave? They are all ants!"
Yun Lian asked, "With the admiral's view, why is the dynasty so prosperous?"
Chen Shouyue smiled and replied, "Of course it is because my Chinese civilization is the brightest! If you think about it carefully, it is comparable to my Chinese civilization? Next, you can see how my kingly army will collapse after landing on this barbarian land!"
Yun Lian also replied gloriously: "I am looking forward to it!"
Next, after Chen Shouyue led the Ming Navy to land, he began to send missionary instructors to various places to teach the Ming Chinese policy.
In order to unify the civilization of this world, Zhu Youxiao has long issued an order to establish a Chinese University to specialize in cultivating talents familiar with foreign languages and culture.
The mission of these talents in the future is to spread Chinese civilization and formulate cultural colonial policies through familiarity with local culture.
The teachers of the Chinese University of China asked the Ming Dynasty's navy and the Jinyiwei to lure the literati of the country, that is, intellectuals, from various countries.
After being bribed by the Ming Dynasty with various benefits, these scholars and officials were very willing to contribute to the great cause of unification of the Ming Dynasty.
Even because of the superior national strength of the Ming Dynasty, many scholars and officials believed that doing so was to save their own people, and they consciously admitted that he was helping the people of their own people get rid of ignorance and go to royalization.
Different regions implement different colonial policies.
The Ming Dynasty used the Koreans and Japanese to carry out colonial expansion in India, allowing the Japanese to clean up first, while the Koreans were responsible for building a basic Confucian civilization system. In the end, the imperial court directly moved the Han people to make the place directly a settlement for the Han people.
In the northwest area, the Ming Dynasty used the unnaturalized Mongolian army led by Lin Dankhan to purge all forces on the way westward, and thus gave the Western Expedition Army the opportunity to appease the people and root them in civilization.
Now in the coastal areas of Myanmar, the Ming Navy has no power to use, so it can only mix the elements of the land and revolution in the process of external expansion. In the name of the savior, it mobilizes the lower-class people in Myanmar to form a peasant association to rebel, divide the land and separate the upper-class nobles of Myanmar.
At this time, the missionary instructors brought by Chen Shouyue did this with the support of the Ming Navy Marine Corps. They graduated from the Chinese University of China, studied Myanmar, and mastered the customs and habits of the Burmese people. Therefore, once they arrived in Myanmar, they could immediately start mobilizing ordinary Burmese people to divide the fields and land. While dividing the fields and land, they set up Han schools, popularize Han culture, and establish the only currency for economic activities with the Ming silver coins.
Therefore, like other places where the Ming Dynasty's new government was the first Chinese figure known to the locals was Zhu Yuanzhang.
"What did you say! After the Ming Dynasty naval army landed, it did not attack Bai Gucheng, nor did it plunder the surrounding people, but was dividing land for them?!"
Myanmar Prime Minister Zonghe learned about this phenomenon after being ordered to come to Baigucheng, and was shocked.
