Chapter 372 Lighthouse
The geographical location of Myanmar is still good. It not only borders China, but also has a large sea area and a good port. It is very suitable for the development of the shipping industry. Compared with China, it is closer to the sea ships of Westerners. If China owns Myanmar, China will It is more direct to contact with Westerners, and can save a lot of shipping costs, and it is more convenient to go directly to the sea from Myanmar.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun's plan is to attack Mawlamyine, then directly go north to attack Pego, the capital of the Toungoo Dynasty, and destroy him. The population center of Myanmar is completely destroyed.

A small tribal country like Myanmar, which has been prosperous for decades, has great limitations. Unlike China and other mature western countries, it has a sufficient population after many years of construction, and many cities are scattered throughout the country's territory. The city and the city are connected by a line, realizing complete control of the country. Myanmar has a small population, fewer settlements, and many places have not been developed. It is still a barren land. As long as a few big cities are won, the country will be It's over.

This is not like China. China has a large population and a large country. As long as there is still one city that you have not taken, China can continue to resist. This makes the Chinese people's family and country feelings very clear. If the city is gone, they will flee to the mountains and continue to fight guerrillas, but the Burmese people at the moment don't know it. With their poor infrastructure, even if the country's military is strong, as long as the army is wiped out, they will immediately It will decline, and then the country will be destroyed, and there will be very few people who recall the previous dynasty.

To clean up some small countries often only needs to attack a few cities.

Burmese settlements such as Mawlamyine, Bago, and Yangon are the primary targets of attack. As long as these targets are captured, Myanmar will be finished. The Toungoo Dynasty’s control over its land is very weak. From the periphery of the capital to the remote areas, the degree of decline in control power is not generally high. Unlike Ming Dynasty, two sets of administrative teams were set up in Nanjing and Beijing to control Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

Basically according to what Narexuan said, Mangyingli has the strongest control over the area around Bago. This guy doesn't trust people of other ethnic groups, and he is only gentle with his own people, letting them live in his own country. Not only the clansmen feel at ease, but he himself is also at ease, so he loosens his control over other places, and is not popular with other places at all. Before the war started, people in these places can't wait to announce their rebellion and welcome Wang Shi.

This is tantamount to telling Xiao Ruxun that as long as the Ming army captures the surrounding areas of Bagu, eliminates the regime in Mangyingli, and then promises autonomy to other ethnic groups, they will directly surrender to the Ming Dynasty and be willing to pay taxes and tribute , as long as Ming's administration is moderate enough, they will not rebel and will cooperate with Ming to implement the rule.

Of course, Narisuan did not expect that Xiao Ruxun intended to use it to occupy Myanmar, and he also did not expect that Ming Dynasty also planned to set up a military town to tie Xiao Ruxun to prevent him from returning to the capital to support the emperor. Of course, this is justifiable and no one can say anything.

Who told you to fight against Daming in Myanmar?Not to mention that in the Yongle era, this place was still the territory of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were five major propaganda and comfort divisions including the Burmese Xuanwei Division. However, after the Ming Dynasty's national power declined, it could not continue to manage here, and it could not get better economic benefits, so Just give up, this is the opportunity for the local aborigines to take advantage of, and now I take it back, which is justified.

Xiao Ruxun doesn't intend to just rule over here, what he wants is real rule, and if he wants to have real rule, especially the control of the coastline, then he must use troops to fight. The territory won is the most reliable, and the negotiated The territory still needs to use the detainment policy, which is not in line with Xiao Ruxun's strategic plan.

These autonomous dominions are not to say that they cannot exist, but they cannot exist in key areas. Xiao Ruxun will definitely find ways to fill them with Han immigrants. These Tu people must leave the key areas and live in other places. Xiao Ruxun will give certain financial subsidies. If you don't leave, then it will be easy to handle, just launch an army to crusade, and the territory captured is the best use!

On the way to march into Mawlamyine, Xiao Ruxun made the memorial to the imperial court and the supporting forces in Beijing. Through some operations, the foundation of the Xiao family was transferred to Burma, forming the de facto second Yunnan. The Mu family, if they can get more soldiers and horses, they can get more soldiers and horses, and then spend some money to transfer their families to Myanmar, or recruit refugees from Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong to settle in Myanmar, and live a life of recruiting Chinese from Southeast Asia to settle in Myanmar , and returned to Daming's embrace.

Xiao Ruxun felt that the court would not easily hand over the [-] soldiers to him, and there were a large number of Guangxi wolf soldiers among the [-] soldiers. These wolf soldiers would not be willing to settle here, they would go home However, after nearly [-] wolf soldiers left, his strength would also decline. At that time, he would have to rely on refugees from various places to fill his strength.

The policy of attracting refugees is well established. There are so many undeveloped wild lands in Myanmar. As long as they are developed, they will immediately become fertile fields with high yields. Trade with some countries in China and attract Westerners to invest in trade. As long as the policy is in place, it is very easy to develop this area.

At the same time, we must also pay attention to maintaining contact with the country, and find a way to develop the land of Myanmar into a trade center between European foreigners and Daming. Foreigners can buy products from Ming here, and Ming can also attract their gold. It can save a lot of sea travel.

Myanmar can also attract merchants from Yunnan and Sichuan to go south to do business. By sea, as long as the relationship with Siam is maintained, the port of Siam can also be used to shorten the distance and save costs. The bridgehead of communication, here, the imperial court will not set up many obstacles, and will not worry about anything, Xiao Ruxun is responsible for everything.

Those people just hope that Xiao Ruxun will not toss their back gardens, and they will not pay attention to the "wild land" of Myanmar, otherwise they will not sit back and watch the Mu family of Yunnan control Yunnan for nearly 300 years. Xiao Ruxun hopes that it can be done soon. With the qualification of "Yongzhen Myanmar", only Yongzhen Myanmar can openly engage in the east and west in Myanmar, attract talents to come to Myanmar for development, and explore a reasonable model that can be used to transform Ming Dynasty in the future.

All in all, this place will become a de facto independent bridgehead, a beacon of rejuvenated oriental civilization, and illuminate the road for the next 500 years.
