Chapter 515
"Myanmar, what a wonderful place!"

It was not Ning Yujun and his ministers who sighed, but far away in the Mansion of the Burmese Conquest Governor in Xikan, Myanmar. At this time, the Burmese Conquest Governor Cheng Ming was standing in front of the map of Myanmar, sighing with satisfaction on his face. After a detailed understanding , he discovered that Myanmar contained unimaginable wealth.

Staff officer Yang Yingyuan followed behind Cheng Ming, and now he was appreciated by Cheng Ming, and even promoted to lieutenant colonel, so he treated Commander Cheng with even more respect.

"Staff Yang, what do you think is the most precious thing in Myanmar?" Cheng Ming had a meaningful smile on his face.

Yang Yingyuan thought for a while before whispering: "There are many jadeites in Burma. Could it be that the governor is referring to these?"

"Do not."

Cheng Ming shook his head, and then said with emotion: "The real most precious thing is definitely not these stones, but the land and population of Myanmar."

Land is always the wealth that Chinese people are most passionate about, because as a nation based on farming, as long as they can farm on it, they will never give up that territory easily, and Myanmar is a country with a lot of arable land. In other places, its own arable land resources are even more unimaginable.

Myanmar is a typical country with high terrain in the north and low in the south. It has high mountains in the north, Naga Hills and Rakhine Mountains in the west, and the Shan Plateau in the east. It can be said that these places themselves are very difficult and dangerous areas, but in the west Between the mountains and the eastern plateau, there is an alluvial plain of the Irrawaddy River, and this plain itself has the potential to cultivate 3000 million mu of arable land.

"According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Department in Myanmar, the current arable land alone has at least tens of millions of acres, and they are all high-quality paddy fields. Otherwise, the Privy Council would not have given such a high reward to conscript the entire army of Myanmar. 3000 people, of which 300 million acres of paddy fields alone will be allocated—"

Cheng Ming slowly said a huge number, and then said in a low voice: "In addition to these lands, there are also millions of people under the chieftains of Myanmar. Whether it is road construction or mining, there will be no worries about not having enough land." labor."

Yang Yingyuan felt a little anxious, and said: "But we can't occupy the whole of Myanmar after all. The Shan and Meng tribes are eyeing up and down Myanmar, and they are waiting for us to withdraw."

Cheng Ming sneered. The Shan and Meng clans were no longer in his consideration, but he didn't continue to speak. Although some things had already been reported, there was no need for the same staff to talk about them, at least not yet.

"Let's not talk about this, the old man has his own considerations in mind, but there is still one very important thing right now, and that is to completely defeat the Toungoo people!"

"Taking Ava is inevitable!"

In mid-July, taking advantage of the rainy season, the Fuhan Army immediately launched the Battle of Ava. At this time, there were only Burmese troops with less than 6000 people in Ava City, and Burmese troops from other places were They all fell into the situation of being besieged by the Shan and Meng tribes, but no one came to help them.

After only one day and one night of attack, the city of Awa was completely destroyed by the artillery of the Fuhan army, and a large number of troops entered the city. Only then did I learn that King Dongyu and his ministers were all killed in the sea of ​​fire at this time.

After taking down Ava, Cheng Ming organized people to repair the city wall of Ava to stabilize the people, but on the other hand, he sent people to invite the leaders of the Shan and Meng tribes to demand the division of the land left by the Toungoo Dynasty. , can also be regarded as the promise Ning Chu fulfilled to support Awa and Baigu Liguo.

In fact, before the Fuhan army marched into Myanmar, they had already sent people to contact the Shan and Meng tribes, requesting to divide the land of the Toungoo Dynasty together, but at that time, although the Toungoo Dynasty had already shown signs of decline, the centipedes were dead but not stiff. Therefore, no one dared to face the last counterattack of the Taungoo Dynasty rashly. Therefore, the second clan would choose an opportunity to carry out the uprising only after the Fuhan army entered Burma first.

Cheng Ming didn't care about this kind of naked thinking about picking peaches. Instead, he was more enthusiastic about inviting the second clan to join the uprising. It wasn't until after the first battle in Laoguantun that the Shan and Meng clans saw it. By chance, an uprising against the Taungoo Dynasty was launched, which swept the country for a while.

Now that Toungoo is gone, Cheng Ming took advantage of the opportunity to send out invitations, but at this time, the Shan and Meng clans, after wiping off the blood on their hands, had a great deal of enthusiasm for the invitations sent by this foreign force. A great deal of fear.

Pynmana, this is a city located in the center of Myanmar. It is located in the valley between the Baigu Mountain Range and the Bennong Mountain Range. It has become a zone affected by the flames of war.

After the Shan and Meng uprisings, the two sides naturally developed around Upper Burma and Lower Burma respectively. Therefore, Pingmana in the central part has always been in the hands of the Toungoo people. However, after the Fu-Han Army captured Awa, Sensing the threat instinctively, the Shan and Meng tribes captured Binmana together, taking down the last bastion of power in Toungoo.

After taking Pingmana, Gong Liyan, the leader of the Shan nationality, and Smitao Buddha Jidi, the leader of the Mon nationality, started talks together. In addition to discussing the boundaries of their respective territories, they began to discuss how to deal with the foreign household Ningchu .

Regarding this point, Gong Liyan, the leader of the Shan tribe, felt a deep pain, because Shan's stronghold was in Ava, but now Ava has fallen into the hands of Ning Chu, which made Gongliyan suffer a lot of criticism from the clan, and he I also feel weird, if Ava can't get it back, how can I be the king of Ava?How to restore the Ava Dynasty?
"Simitao Buddha Jidi, my brother, Taungoo is now a thing of the past, but the land of Myanmar is still occupied by a group of outsiders. This is not what we want to see."

The leader of the Mon tribe, Smitao Buddha Jidi, was originally a monk. Later, because of his high reputation, he was pushed out and became the leader of the Mon tribe. The time is relatively cautious after all, but it feels very solemn.

"Gong Liyan, right now our two clans have spent a lot of money to defeat Dongyu. Now it's time for you and my two clans to establish their own countries, so it's not good to fight against Ning Chu."

Of course, Smitao Buddha Jidi spoke very lightly, and the Fuhan army did not enter Lower Burma aggressively, so why did he bother to help Gong Liyan fight against Ning Chu?Besides, although the two tribes joined forces to oppose Toungoo, it doesn't mean that their relationship is any better. If it weren't for the Ava Kingdom represented by the Shan nationality and the Baigu Kingdom represented by the Mon nationality, they fought alive for 40 years. How can it be Dongyu's turn to take the lead?
Hearing the meaning of evasion in Smitao Buddha Jidi's words, Gong Liyan was naturally very dissatisfied, he suppressed his smile, and said coldly: "I think we should let go of the struggle between Ava and Baigu now, It is more important to resist foreign enemies together! Once Ningchu is allowed to take root in Burma, do you think you will be spared going down to Burma?"

Everyone knows about the wealth of Lower Burma, and everyone is staring at the land of Lower Burma.

Smitao Buddha Jidi snorted coldly, but he didn't refute anymore, just said in a low voice: "Now Ning Chu has sent us an invitation, since we want to sit down and negotiate a solution, let's discuss it carefully. I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable."

Gong Liyan smiled slightly, he knew in his heart that Smitao Buddha Jidi was already afraid, and said: "Of course we have to talk about it, but how to talk about it is another matter."
