Wanli 1592

Chapter 347
Yuan Huang understood, he knew what he should do, he knew what he should do at this historical juncture.

He was amazed at Xiao Ruxun's foresight and foresight, and he was amazed at Xiao Ruxun's far-sightedness, so he definitely believed that Xiao Ruxun must be the light of the Great Ming, the hope of the Great Ming in that person's mouth, so he made up his mind to use his weak and old body, exhausting the last vitality, to help Xiao Ruxun fulfill his dream.

He believed that Xiao Ruxun would definitely be able to save Daming who was hovering inside and outside the gate of death, he would definitely be able to!
"Ji Xin, there are still some shortcomings in the plan you set up. This old man will complete it for you. When it really reaches that threshold, this old man will help you with everything. You just need to pay attention to the battlefield and the situation of the battle wholeheartedly. Make sure that we will definitely win the battle." It’s enough to win a big victory, battle formation commander, I’m not as good as you.”

Yuan Huang decided to devote himself wholeheartedly to making suggestions for Xiao Ruxun.

Xiao Ruxun was overjoyed, and was extremely happy for Yuan Huang's wholehearted dedication.

This is his first and only aide so far. It is of great significance to him that a traditional scholar with a high reputation takes the initiative to serve. A good and talented literati came into contact with Xiao Ruxun at this time.

Through Yuan Huang alone, Xiao Ruxun can grasp Yuan Huang's personal connections, so that he can choose the talents and scholars he needs, and with Yuan Huang's help and persuasion, he can make them join his camp, reducing his disadvantages as a general. Make suggestions for future plans.

Occupying land is easy, establishing military towns is easy, and military management is even easier, but normal development and production cannot be done without the assistance of civil servants. Yuan Huang alone has no way to help Xiao Ruxun govern this huge new land, and neither can Xiao Ruxun. So much energy to deal with civil affairs.

He needs enough helpers, and even enough Han people to immigrate to enrich the local area. Whether they are from Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, or Han people who have gone overseas, as long as they are willing to settle in this new military town, it is all right for him. huge help.

It is impossible for him to rely on a group of Burmese to save Daming, and the number of Burmese is not large, there are millions of them, and the young and strong will basically die. What can a group of old and weak women and children do?They can only serve the Ming army, but cannot produce, and Xiao Ruxun will not allow them to reproduce any longer.

Ever since, the plan was launched in full swing.

King Narexuan also started to make big moves frequently. Instead of the slow preparations before, the speed of preparation suddenly increased. Lin Yuanshan and other Chinese officials who always came to Xiao Ruxun to exchange emotions and show their sense of presence had no time to come here again, and ran around to raise money. Grain, grass and ordnance are needed to provide logistics for the 8 coalition forces. Narexuan's troops have assembled more than 4 people, and the remaining people can finish the season in at most two days.

The entire army of the Ming army has assembled and is inspecting ordnance, checking itself, wiping weapons and artillery, and is ready to go out at any time. The soldiers are eating the fattening rice before the expedition, and they have more new-style war rice to eat during the march. , that is, Xiao Ruxun asked Huotou Military Camp to make a spicy sauce roll flatbread, stir-fry Daming-style sauce with Siamese chili, and then spread the thick sauce on the flatbread, which is easy to preserve and salty enough , still spicy, can arouse the courage of soldiers.

Two days later, on August 23, the [-]rd year of Wanli, the Siamese coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty were ready and held an oath meeting in the area north of Ayutthaya, the capital of Siam, swearing to destroy the invading enemy, recover the occupied land, and then attack the cave. Go to Bagu, the capital of Wu Kingdom, capture Mang Yingli alive, and execute him Ling Chi!
The morale of the army was high and the fighting spirit was high. Narisuan used his superb speech skills to scream and change his soldiers. The Ming army was calm and tight, but Xiao Ruxun took the stage and pointed his sword towards the sky. There was a uniform roar in the formation-Wan Sheng!
After shouting three times in a row, Xiao Ruxun put the sword back into its sheath and shouted: "Let's go!"

The rumble of war drums sounded, and the huge army formation moved in an orderly manner.

The Siamese looked curiously at the slowly operating Daming Army Formation.

They not only want to regain the country and destroy Burma, but also look forward to seeing how the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow fight. They all want to see how the soldiers of that extremely powerful country fight. How powerful is the army of a country with 4 troops.

The news that the Siamese coalition forces of the Ming Dynasty went north to march quickly reached the Burmese military camp in Phitsanulok Province. When Min Qide heard the news, he was furious because none of the troops he sent out to grab enough food, The Siamese in the surrounding towns and villages seem to have evaporated from the world in an instant. There are only messy houses, no people, food and money, and it seems that they have all run away.

Some people kept their complete houses and allowed Burmese soldiers to live in to shelter from the rain, while some were very bachelors and burned down their houses without even leaving a roof to the Burmese. Many of the main Burmese soldiers who did not bring enough supplies could only be exposed to the rain and wind outside, and the few tents and rainproof things could only be used by officers and elite soldiers with higher status.

Although it is a hot season at this time, rain and wind can bring pain no matter where it is. From the No.1 Burmese soldier who had a cold and a fever, in just a few days, hundreds of soldiers have already had a cold and a fever. Although Min Qide has already Measures were taken quickly to separate the sick soldiers from the healthy ones. However, a large number of soldiers still had a cold and fever and lost their combat effectiveness. Under the condition of lack of food and clothing, the morale of the Burmese army was seriously shaken.

While Min Qide sent people to urge the handymen to march as soon as possible, he also sent people to search for houses, food, clothing, and even medicines, but they found very little. The people who escaped from Phitsanulok not only ran to the south, but also went to Those who ran to the north and east, the news of the Burmese invasion spread instantly, and a large number of people fled. Before leaving, they did not forget to destroy their houses and fields. It is their own initiative, without government organization.

If you want to blame, you can blame the Burmese for hurting the Siamese too much. The feud between the two countries has lasted for decades, and the hatred between each other is difficult to resolve. It has continued from the official to the private sector. They have invaded and are coming to destroy their lives again. When they are angry, even if they are their own things, they must burn them if they cannot take them away. They will definitely not leave them to the Burmese, let them eat dirt!

This created the predicament that Min Qide faced at the juncture of the imminent war.
