Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 757

Chapter 757 If you want to fight, ask for money first (4 changes over [-])
"Rise and fall", this kind of thing Daming has always liked to do, but Gao Yushi, the "contemporary Confucianist", has little interest in it-of course he can do it if it is beneficial, but if it is not beneficial... Hehehehe, today's weather Yes, have you eaten yet?
With high practical eloquence, it is of course easy to fool the two princesses and princes of the Nanzhang Kingdom who are not very fluent in Chinese, so I won't go into details.

In short, the high-practical attitude means that they still seem to support them, but as for sending troops, they have to wait first.

What are you waiting for?

Oh, that's too much, you see, such a big event must have the permission of the court, right?Even if the imperial court allows it, we still have to discuss how to fight this battle, right?

Whether to send troops from Yunnan alone, or let Annan also send troops to help, or let Guangxi also undertake part of the task of sending troops... These all need to be carefully discussed.

Even if it's agreed, you still have to prepare for sending troops, right?What troops to mobilize, which generals to choose, how much food needs to be collected and stored in advance, how much military pay to prepare, how many routes to send troops, what are the goals, what to do in case of unexpected changes in the battle situation... and so on.

In short, there are a lot of things, and it won’t be settled in a short while. We either don’t fight, or we have to guarantee victory if we fight. We can’t fight Cambodia like your father (the Ming people have already called it that at this time) He was actually defeated and killed.

What's more, our Ming Dynasty is dignified and dignified, and we are a country of etiquette. We can't punish without teaching, and maybe we will issue an order to the white elephant king Mang Yinglong in Myanmar. Maybe this guy will be discouraged after being severely reprimanded , then maybe you can let your siblings go back to the country without fighting, and maybe you, Mr. Dao, will be able to safely inherit your father's position...

Gao Shishi’s reasons sounded very reasonable. The brothers and sisters of the Dao family (let’s call them that, by the way) were stunned when they heard it, and seemed to be convinced by Gao Shishi, thinking that this Really can't be in a hurry.

In fact, Gao Pragmatism just used the three successes of a well-tested official to do Tai Chi a few times.In fact, if he is the governor of Yunnan now and he is confident, he can decide for himself whether to fight Burma or not.

This is not a joke, and there is no such thing as "provoking border disputes", because...don't look at how awesome Myanmar is now, in fact, it is nothing more than a Department of Propaganda in the political system of Ming Dynasty —— Department of Propaganda and Consolation, Myanmar that's it.

The Burmese Military and Civilian Propaganda and Consolation Department belongs to the local administrative organization of the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the "Three Propaganda and Six Consolation" established by the Ming Dynasty on the border of Yunnan. It was established during the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. (In fact, in the 27th year of Ming Hongwu, the Burmese-China Propaganda Department was established, which was directly under the Yunnan Chief Department, but it was abolished soon)
In the first year of Yongle, Naluoda, the leader of Burma, sent an envoy to find Jian to pay tribute to Fangwu. He said that Mubang Mengyang blocked the tribute road as an excuse. Announce comfort envoy.In the fifth year of Xuande, Myanmar's Xuanwei Mang obtained a tributary tribute. From then on, the Xuanwei envoys of the Myanmar Xuanwei Department began to take Mang as their surname.

In the early years of Emperor Sejong's Jiajing reign, Mang Jisui served as a consolation envoy in the Burmese Propaganda Department and was stationed in Ava City (near Mandalay today).In the fifth year of Jiajing, Mengyang chieftain Silun attacked Burma, broke the city of Awa, and captured him to Xuanweimang Jisui. There was no point in killing and plundering, so he divided up the land with Mubang chieftain Hanlie.

The Ming court ordered Yan Shitai, the magistrate of Yongchang Prefecture, to send the order, but he refused to listen. Ji Sui was actually killed by Si Lun, the chieftain of Mengyang, and Sizhen, the chieftain of Mengmi.

Si Lun, chieftain of Meng Yang, killed Mang Jisui, and made his son Si Hongfa the king of Awa City the following year, and divided the territory under the jurisdiction of Xuanwei Division of Myanmar with Sizhen and Hanlie, and the Ava Dynasty survived in name only.Mang Ji-year-old's youngest son, Mang Ruiti, fled to Dongyu for asylum.

The historical background of Toungoo is relatively complicated, so I won’t go into details here, but in theory, it is also part of the three propagandas and six comforts of the Myanmar Propaganda Department. It was not until the reign of Mangrui’s adoptive father and Burmese leader Ming Jiyu (1486-1531) that he announced his separation from Awa became independent, laying the groundwork for the establishment of an independent Bamar dynasty.

In the tenth year of Jiajing, Mang Ruiti, who was only 15 years old, succeeded to the throne in Dongyu.Since then, the most powerful dynasty in Myanmar history was established, known as the Toungoo Dynasty in history.

In the 29th year of Jiajing, Mang Ruiti passed away. Mang Ruiti's son and brother-in-law Mang Yinglong succeeded to the throne. ).

In the 34th year of Jiajing, Mang Yinglong led an army to capture Awa and destroy the Awa Dynasty. Then he refused the Ming court's appeasement and continued northward to attack Mubang, Manmo, Mengyang, Mengmi, and Cheli under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty. Tubang.

Gao Wushi felt that Mang Yinglong's actions proved that he no longer regarded Ming as his superior or "superior country". His son Mang Yingli also upheld this idea and continued to fight with Daming.

Historically, until the 34th year of Wanli (1606), the Ming-Myanmar War gradually subsided because both sides had no spare energy to continue fighting. Except for the Ming Dynasty, the other five comforts have been owned by Myanmar, and the Ming Dynasty basically only kept the "Three Proclamations".

Of course, Gao Pragmatism was very annoyed by this result. As a spectator of history in his previous life, he could only feel sorry for this, but since he came to Daming in this life, he felt that he still had to take care of this "nosy".

It's just that the root cause is not to help the Nanzhang Kingdom "rise and fall".

The purpose is different, of course the means of handling will be different, but having said that, what he said to the Dao family brothers and sisters just now is not completely evasive, and the preparation work is of course really to be done.

It's just that the war with Myanmar is obviously different from the fight against Annan this time. After removing some nominal problems, there is another most practical trouble: the fight against Annan this time, from the very beginning in name, is Gao Yushi, Cen Ling, Huang Zhiting and others jointly launched a private war, so the Ming court did not send a single soldier or pay any money—this is also an important reason why Gao Wushi's handling of Annan was quickly recognized by the court.

Sitting at home has gained a lot of benefits, so what else?We are all decent people, we can't be without food.

But if a war is to be launched against Burma, it is obviously impossible to be a private war. The imperial court must send troops, and from all angles, it must be based in Yunnan-at this time, Yunnan is the real "" Great Yunnan", the three announcements and six comforts are all under the control of Yunnan in name!

According to the traditions of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the battle is decided to start, the troops will be dispatched at [-] if not [-], and then a lot of chieftains will be added--Three Proclamations and Six Weis, as well as the internal chieftains in Yunnan, are estimated to have troops. Yang, Meng Mi, and Mubang, who have been oppressed and beaten by Myanmar in recent years, may be able to come out in full force, and the internal chieftains—that is, those chieftains in Yunnan that are equivalent to the Cen and Huang families in Guangxi. How are the rules in Yunnan set? In short, no matter how small they are, they have to send troops to follow, even if it's just for meaning.

In this case, Yunnan will have at least 10,000+ army size in one move. Although the chieftains are all "***", let alone not getting military pay, even the food and pay are paid by themselves, but the military pay of the Han army is indispensable, right?If the battle is won, the rewards of the chieftains must not be stingy, right?

Then this is very problematic, because it is hard to say whether the court is willing to spend such a large sum of money.

Now the imperial treasury is indeed much richer than it was ten years ago, but correspondingly, a lot of the money has been spent on "continuing construction" and "upgrading armaments" - this is influenced by highly pragmatic theories , He believes that money is all waste wherever it is stored, and it is meaningful only when it is spent. In fact, it is the principle of "currency is an equivalent exchange" in later generations.

In this way, although the imperial court's annual revenue has increased greatly, the deposits in hand have not increased much, and it has only made up for the accumulated debts over the years (the magical Ming court often owed officials salaries and various allowances in the past).

Under such circumstances, Gao Wushi wanted to find an opportunity to launch a "preventive war" for Myanmar. The first thing to do was not war layout or tactical planning, but to find a way to persuade the court to spend This money, and... where to get it.
