Wanli 1592

Chapter 314 King Naresuan's Resolution

In the final analysis, Daming's sending troops to fight this time is not only for himself. It should be said that the entire Southeast Asian vassal state of Ming Dynasty has benefits, and the one with the greatest benefits is undoubtedly Siam. The feud of Myanmar is finally coming to its end , How can this make Siam unhappy?Not to mention far away, let’s just say that in the past few decades, Myanmar has been destroyed once, and it was finally restored. The country is dilapidated, how can you make Siam not hate it?
The Burmese people have developed rapidly in the past few decades, so their ambitions have swelled very much. In the time of Mang Yinglong, they were still a little restrained. After Mang Yingli ascended the throne, they became completely unrestrained. The territory of China has expanded to the largest in history, but it has also made countless enemies for Myanmar. Finally, after beating all the rookies around, they turned their sights to the north.

The Ming Empire that was so big that it was boundless and unimaginable.

When the Burmese just started to make a fortune, under the leadership of Mang Yinglong, they fought and pecked each other with neighboring countries. Da Ming didn't pay attention to it at all, and didn't want to go out of Yunnan to deal with this small tribe. After the development of Myanmar, the army and combat effectiveness have undergone earth-shaking changes. The troops pointed directly at Yunnan, broke through several chieftain villages on the border of Yunnan in one fell swoop, and committed all kinds of crimes, such as burning, killing, and looting. This made the Yunnan authorities pay attention.

But just dealing with the chieftains, in Da Ming’s eyes, it’s still pecking at each other, which is meaningless. It wasn’t until the Burmese made the chieftains almost a disaster and began to turn their attention to the more affluent Han cities, that Da Ming finally realized. What they are facing is not a simple opponent, but an enemy country with strategies, tactics, weapons and organization.

It's not pecking at each other anymore, it's an imperial war.

So Daming mobilized frontier troops from Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangxi and other places to counterattack the invading Burmese army, and started a brutal tug-of-war with the Burmese army in the sinister mountains and rivers on the border of Yunnan. The Ming army was unable to use its hands and feet. Instead, the Burmese army, which was good at mountain warfare and small-scale sabotage, took a big advantage. Several border towns were looted and several officials were dismissed. The transliteration of the name - Dongman Niu, Dongwu is a matter of recent years.

In this way, at least it can be shown that in the eyes of Ming people, the army of the Toungoo Dynasty in Myanmar is definitely not weak, and even as brave and powerful as a bull, it is difficult to deal with.

The Ming Dynasty, which was backed by a big empire, was like this, and the surrounding countries that lacked strategic depth also suffered. The rise of the Toungoo Dynasty is a history of blood and tears for the neighboring countries, especially Siam, which was beaten by Myanmar several times in more than 100 years. Destroy the country, or take down the capital by Burma, lose face, money, people, and everything they can lose. Of course, they have fought back. Narishon is the king they are most proud of. Under his leadership, Siem The Luo people once had a small climax.

However, this is not enough to eliminate this country. The Ming Dynasty in history could not do anything to win this bull-like country, which exhausted Yunnan's manpower and material resources. Although it won the battle, the lost land was not at all After regaining strength, they could only return to the logistics support area-the traffic level in Yunnan is really bad, and the efficiency of materials reaching the front line is so low that they can't fight at all.

Later, Ming's main worries were in the north, so he didn't pay much attention to the south, and the Burmese were also hurt by Daming. Although they saw that Ming retreated, they did not dare to invade Daming again. In the end of the Ming Dynasty, Myanmar never dared to Invasion, until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Burma became strong again, and the Qing-Myanmar War broke out again. This time, the Qing soldiers were much more embarrassed. The so-called perfect martial arts of Qianlong's old man also has a lot of water in it.

At this moment, the Toungoo Dynasty is in its heyday, and it has not been beaten by Daming yet. It was Mang Yinglong who was beaten by Deng Zilong, but Mang Yinglong is dead. He insisted on mobilizing the main force to go to war against Ming Dynasty, threatening to teach these Han people a lesson and let them know his bravery.

He still doesn't know that Daming has decided to get rid of him completely, and sent the general who beat Japan to pieces to fight against him, and he doesn't know that the Siamese have already sharpened their knives and plan to join forces with Daming to get rid of him completely. Burmese.

The moment he received the letter from Daming, Narisuan had this thought in his heart. Three years ago, when the Burmese were defeated by Daming and came back, he had just snatched back from Myanmar. His own country has been re-established and is actively developing its military equipment in order to protect itself. For the time being, he does not have the strength to fight back against Myanmar, and he is worrying about it day and night. He is worried that the Burmese will use the power of the whole country to fight him again. He has no absolute chance of winning.

The news that the Ming Dynasty decided to go to war against Burma was like a shot in the arm, making King Narison ecstatic.

Even if no courtier suggested Siam to send troops to attack Burma with Ming, he decided to do so.

Because he knew that the general sent by Ming Dynasty this time was Xiao Ruxun, the famous domestic general who had smashed the Japanese country to pieces in North Korea, and most of the troops going south this time were the elite troops of Ming Dynasty who fought against the Japanese before. Going south again, there must be a [-]% certainty that Burma will be destroyed. If you don't send troops to help Daming at this time, how will you share the benefits then?
Daming killed Burma, how much benefit would that be?How can you not participate in a share of it?Moreover, with Daming's generosity, it is estimated that two cups of soup or even a bowl of meat is possible. This is undoubtedly very important in the eyes of Siam, which has just settled down and is waiting for prosperity.

So he asked several Chinese courtiers, and asked them about the etiquette of cleaning up the Ming army, the taste of the Ming army, how Siam should prepare the meals that the Ming army liked, etc. After arranging these things, he went to Non-stop arrangements for the army to assist in the battle, the most powerful army under his command, including French, Portuguese, Spanish and Japanese mercenaries, as well as his own main force, about 3 to [-] people , to get this army ready for battle.

It's also interesting to say that because the quantity and quality of the national troops are not enough, King Naresuan created several foreign mercenaries in an ingenious way.

This includes French, Spanish, and Portuguese firearms mercenaries, who are responsible for using firearms and training their own troops to use firearms; there is also a special force composed of more than 1000 Japanese ronin, which is responsible for hand-to-hand combat and has extremely strong combat effectiveness; There are more than a thousand Chinese troops on the list, and they are well-known multinational troops.
