People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 384: Destroying Burma will open up a passage out of the Indian Ocean! It can also ensure the safety of the Central Plains!
Zhu Biao stood at a higher height than Chen Han, although Chen Han came from a later generation.

I know a lot about history, but after all, I am not a ruler, Zhu Biao, who has overseen the country for so many years.

His height is not something Chen Han can reach.

He was standing at a height where he could see the Strait of Malacca. If he occupied it, he could have a huge advantage over the countries in the north.

Especially the Indochina peninsula countries that have blocked the land can drive all the way up.

For example, Annam, Champa, Siam, Myanmar, and Cambodia.

Although Myanmar also has exits to the south, Myanmar has just experienced the collapse of the Bagan dynasty.

The Ava dynasty that newly came to power is currently going through a period of rest and recuperation during the Forty Years' War, and its national power is very weak.

If the navy captures the entire Srivijaya at this time, occupies the Strait of Malacca, and controls the rest of the sea ports on the Indochina Peninsula except Myanmar.

Then go west from the Strait of Malacca, or march directly north from the Strait of Malacca, and you can destroy the Ava Dynasty, which is in chaos and declining in national power.

In this way, we can greatly reduce the difficulty for the Ming Dynasty to occupy the entire Indochina Peninsula.

At that time, a large area of ​​vassal states will arise on the land of the Malay Archipelago.

Of course, the most important thing is that if Burma is captured, the Ming Dynasty can directly pass through Burma from Yunnan and enter the Indian Ocean.

After destroying Sanviqi, we can move in directly, then go east to destroy the Majapahit Kingdom and occupy the mainland of the Malay Archipelago.

Not only did he move westward and annex two small kingdoms in northwestern India.

Sanviqi will be forcibly invaded by the Majapahit Kingdom.
It will be even more difficult to win this Samfolk by then.

Think about it, if our Ming Dynasty doesn’t take action now,
In two years' time, the Majapahit Kingdom will destroy Sanviqi.

Chen Han laughed and said, "Your Highness, the ministers are laughing. Our Ming Dynasty seems to be walking on a broad road now.

You can already tell Chen Han that if he wants to eliminate the Ava Dynasty in Myanmar, which enters from northern Myanmar, he will definitely follow the footsteps of Qianlong.

Otherwise, as the southern gate, leaving this country in Yunnan would not only cut off the Central Plains Dynasty's waterway from Myanmar into the Indian Ocean, but also leave a channel for the colonists to enter the Central Plains Dynasty. This is unsafe.

The grain there can be harvested three times a year. In the cold season in the north of the Ming Dynasty, it is considered good if the grain can be harvested once a year.
However, most areas in Indochina have low latitudes and are in the tropics, so they can achieve three crops a year.
That was Chen Han's ideal. It could buffer the Ming Dynasty's main grain-producing area after the Central Plains failed to produce grain during the Little Ice Age.

Our Ming Dynasty went south to colonize Australia, went east to the Indian Ocean, and destroyed India. We can do it with ease and have a well-founded advance and retreat. "

Even if the whole of Siam, that is, Thailand, is directly captured by then, we can move westward from Thailand to double-team.

But when he thought that Myanmar once competed with the Central Plains dynasty for the Xishuangbanna area of ​​Yunnan, and many wars broke out, killing many people, Chen Han wanted to destroy them.

Those tribes themselves were incompatible with Myanmar. Even their first unified dynasty, the Bogan dynasty, the subsequent Ava dynasty and even their most powerful Konbaung dynasty,
These three dynasties failed to solve the chaotic pattern in northern Myanmar.

This way, we can directly bypass the Indochina Peninsula without having to make a big circle from Fujian or Guangdong or Guangxi to the south of Nanyang.
Pass through the Strait of Malacca and then exit the Indian Ocean.

Occupying a huge land, they fought against the Central Plains Dynasty.

When he thought of this, Chen Han still felt that there was a lot to be done.

Therefore, he wanted to attack Qianlong directly from Yunnan to northern Burma, and then destroy Burma's Qianlong. He fought four wars but failed to make any progress.

Especially the information brought by Wang Asan was quite timely.

Chen Han was very excited when he thought of this.

They conquer each other, and even if we fall into it, it will be a quagmire.

After occupying the Malay Archipelago, it is equivalent to blocking the entire Southeast Asia.
Then the entire Nanyang became the inland sea of ​​our Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Biao saw the excitement in Chen Han's eyes and smiled, "I think I can feel what you are thinking."

Until now, northern Myanmar is still an autonomous region for various tribes. This is a legacy of history.

The reason why we chose to occupy the Strait of Malacca and fight north from the Strait of Malacca is precisely because the Strait of Malacca is not only an outlet to the Indian Ocean, but also connects the southern gate of Myanmar.

At that time, we will not only have to face the remaining princes of Sambuqi, but also the Majapahit Kingdom’s continuous attacks from the northeast.

Because in history, Myanmar has had many wars with the Central Plains Dynasty.

Taking advantage of the fact that Chen Zuyi was eliminated now, the Majapayi Kingdom had no internal spies. Now they got the list of traitors from Wang Asan.
We can completely replace Chen Zuyi and cooperate with those traitors.

Chen Han came to Daming and told them that the Little Ice Age was coming soon.

Indochina must become the main granary of the Ming Dynasty, thereby reducing the contradiction of reduced grain production in the cold climate in the north, and even directly shifting this contradiction.

At the same time, this country that allowed Western colonists to bypass the Himalayas and enter Yunnan from the south, in order to drive straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains, must be captured.

If this Sanfoqi had not been directly destroyed in the 28th year of Hongwu,

The reason why Chen Han must capture the continent of Indochina is not only for trade needs, but also
The most important reason is that Indochina is a fertile food-producing area.

Especially during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the most powerful Gongbang dynasty emerged in Myanmar, which was even more powerful.

And the reason why we don’t go south directly from Yunnan into Myanmar is
This is because the terrain of Indochina is high in the north and low in the south.
Especially in northern Myanmar, not only the altitude reaches an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 meters,
There are even many jungles and mountains, and many primitive tribes live there.

Although it was successively attacked by British colonists and French colonists, it finally became a colony.

The first of a series of strategic plans formulated is to capture the Indochina Peninsula.

At the same time, the eastward advance directly destroyed Siam, which was Thailand at that time.

One of the main reasons why the Ming Dynasty collapsed was that after the arrival of the Little Ice Age, extreme cold weather reduced food production in large areas.

The reason why this situation occurs is simply because the terrain and environment in northern Myanmar are really complex, which is not conducive to the attack of the army.

This highlights all social contradictions.

As long as the people do not have enough to eat, social contradictions will become prominent. Now the Ming Dynasty's navy has occupied Annam, Champa, and Siam.
Even if there was Cambodia lying across the Indochina Peninsula at this time, it was still a piece of fat in the mouth of the Ming Dynasty.
Now there is such a big division within this Sanviqi community.
The countdown to destruction is about to begin. Wouldn’t that be great joy from heaven?

So Chen Han and Zhu Biao immediately formulated a battle plan for the Indochina Peninsula in the study room of the East Palace.
First of all, today’s Annan, Siam, and Cambodia have been included in the semi-administered areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Because they are too dependent on Ming Dynasty for their economy, they cannot get rid of Ming Dynasty's control. As for Luzon Island, which is safe in the southeast corner, even if they can't move it now, they can't affect the overall situation.

Then came Sanviqi, which went south. Taking this Sanviqi, controlled the entire strait out of the Indian Ocean.
At that time, Daming could say whatever he wanted.

These countries on the Indochina Peninsula want to resist, but they have no way to retreat.

When Chen Han and Prince Zhu Biao completed their plan, they immediately reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang became the hands-off shopkeeper at this time. Hearing Chen Han's eloquent speech in front of him, the old man stretched his body.

"We have long said that you can do whatever you want. Now we are ignoring government affairs and ignoring national affairs."

Hearing what the old man said, Chen Han and Zhu Biao immediately issued an edict to formulate the plan and send it to Lan Yu in Nanyang.

Lan Yu is training more and more navy at this time.

In addition to soldiers from the Ming Dynasty, a large number of sailors were also recruited from Nanyu in the Annan area.

Since the Ming Dynasty has not yet developed the steam engine, a large number of sailors are needed to support the Ming Navy.

By liberating some sailors, the combat strength of the Ming Navy will increase a bit.

Now that they had decided to attack, Chen Han and Zhu Biao thought of Wang Asan.

Although Wang Asan is a fugitive from Southeast Asia,
But his understanding of Sanviqi, this person is still somewhat useful.

When the dark cabin was opened, Wang Asan stood up from the crib and looked at the corridor expectantly.

There were thumping footsteps in the corridor, and then the door of his cabin was pushed open.

Chen Han and Prince Zhu Biao came together.

When he saw this noble and majestic middle-aged man next to Chen Han, he was full of domineering aura.

Wang Asan was so frightened that he trembled all over. He quickly put his hands down and lowered his head, and then immediately knelt down.

"Asan, the king of the grass-roots people, meets with the Duke of the country."

Chen Han introduced Wang Asan, "Wang Asan is our current Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty."

After Wang Asan heard the name of Prince Zhu Biao, he was so frightened that his head buzzed and he was confused.

After he came to Ming Dynasty, he also inquired about it. Although the emperor of Ming Dynasty is still Zhu Yuanzhang, everyone knows that the current emperor has become a hands-off shopkeeper.

All power is in the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness actually came to find me?

After being stunned for a moment, Wang Asan immediately kowtowed to Zhu Biao, "Common people see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Biao sat on the chair that was brought over, and Chen Han sat next to him.

Wang Asan knelt on the ground, and Zhu Biao asked, "You must want to take revenge, right?"

Wang Asan didn't dare to raise his head, but he replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, there are more than 130 members of our tribe who were brutally poisoned by the pirates and the Five Rats. This hater wants to take revenge."

Zhu Biao nodded: "Okay, since you want to take revenge, now there is an opportunity in front of you.

I know that you, your wife, and your uncle risked your lives to escape from Nanyang to the Ming Dynasty, just to help the Ming Dynasty and other guides to destroy the pirate five rats.

And Ming Dynasty also has this idea. Of course, Ming Dynasty wants to destroy Sanfuqi.

If you can follow the Ming Dynasty navy with your uncle, provide intelligence to the navy, and achieve great success, maybe the Ming Dynasty can rebuild your family in Sanfoqi.
Do you want this opportunity? "

After hearing this, Wang Asan looked at Chen Han and Prince Zhu Biao with great excitement, and knelt on the ground to kowtow: "Your Highness, the Duke of the State, if you two can give the common people this opportunity, the common people will repay the loss even if they are devastated." Thank you for your kindness tomorrow,
We must also lead Ming Dynasty to destroy this Sanfoqi.

Your Highness and Duke, you don’t know something. We are originally Han people and were not allowed to go south to make a living during the war.
In this process, too many Han people were bullied by those countries in Southeast Asia.

If we couldn't huddle together for warmth, we would have been swallowed up by them one by one, and not even our bones would be left.

In recent years, the grassroots and their families have indeed taken advantage of many smugglers in the Ming Dynasty.
But that's all because of the pressure of life.

Moreover, the common people have always believed that those people violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty first. "

Zhu Biao waved his hand, "I won't tell you more about these sesame seeds and rotten millet. Again, the Ming Dynasty has decided that the Ming Navy will cooperate with the people on the list you submitted to destroy Sanfuqi.

Then, by the way, he destroyed the Majapahit Kingdom entrenched in the northeast, and thus established a government administration directly ruled by our Ming Dynasty.

If you behave well then, I promise that you will be appointed as the Chief Secretary.
And you and your family have been doing business in Nanyang for so many years,
I believe you have many connections. After Sanfuqi is destroyed, you can cast your net and inform the Han people in Nanyang that

Let them go to the land of Sanviqi. If they are talented, the Ming Dynasty will appoint them immediately.
Those without talent can also have a piece of our own land to do business.

Or let them participate in the construction of this land,
You understand that those who have meritorious service will not be short of an official position. "

Wang Asan was very excited when he heard this. This was a one-step promotion plan.

In the past, everyone just did business, but now if you get this opportunity, you will be promoted and make a fortune, and your descendants will be in trouble.

This kind of opportunity is impossible to obtain in a lifetime.

And now His Highness the Crown Prince has personally told him whether he wants such an opportunity.

That's too much to think about.

Wang Asan knelt on the ground, kowtowing as if pounding garlic, "Your Highness, Duke of the State, since you have given me such a big and attractive grassroots,
If you have something to hide, are you still a human being?
The common people must cooperate with our Ming Navy.

We must cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's navy to build the land of Sanviqi into our Ming Dynasty's overseas province. "

……

A month later.

The edicts from Chen Han and Zhu Biao arrived at the Administrative Department of Guangdong Chengxuan.

Wang Asan also followed the team announcing the imperial decree and came to Guangdong.

He met his wife, children and brother-in-law here. It was really like the rest of the family's life after death.

Wang Asan even said to his uncle, "Brother, I have good news for you. This time, I not only met the Duke, but also the Crown Prince.

Now the younger brother is a member of the Ming Dynasty's navy. Although the official position is only from the eighth rank, the younger brother is now an official of the Ming Dynasty.

We are no longer outsiders living in Southeast Asia.

My little brother wants to follow the Ming Navy with you to destroy this Sanfuqi.

Even His Highness and the Duke of Guo promised that as long as we cooperate with the Ming Pai, Sanfuqi will be destroyed.

As long as we can build in Sanviqi, which belongs to our Ming Dynasty province, we will never be short of promotion and wealth.

Brother, since we can take revenge, our future is still bright! "
