Chapter 379 Xiao Ruxun's Good News
"Ji Xin, there is news that those six tribes are finished. Twelve tribes participated in this siege and killed about 8 to [-] people. Na'ang sent people to escort [-] young and strong Men and [-] young and strong women were brought to us, and they were said to be gifts for Daming."

Yuan Huang walked into Xiao Ruxun's tent and informed Xiao Ruxun of the latest battle situation on the front line.

"Only 5 people? The six tribes together have more than 50 people, and they divided up the rest?"

Xiao Ruxun put down the military newspaper in his hand and looked up at Yuan Huang.

"That also counts the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and young children. They sent [-] young and strong men and [-] young and strong women. They are all young and strong, with labor force."

Only then did Xiao Ruxun nod his head: "Assuming they are sensible, I don't want to do anything this time. It's unnecessary to get my hands dirty. Let them clean up the door and get rid of the thorns by themselves. Now those tribes will be honest and they will Then we can obediently go to live in the west, and the rest of the world belongs to us."

"You're right to say that, but, Ji Xin, don't forget that you haven't decided on the matter of staying in Myanmar forever, so you're so sure that you can stay in Myanmar forever? If you can't get this appointment, you can just do it a little bit." Even if you are appointed, where are you going to get the population? Do you expect those officials to transfer the population for you? Don’t even think about it! Even if someone is willing to come, we have to negotiate with the local government and then send a boat to pick it up. That’s all money and food!”

Yuan Huangbai glanced at Xiao Ruxun: "Do you think it's so easy to start from scratch? The Mu family of Yunnan has been running Yunnan for 200 years, and a war has exhausted Yunnan. Yunnan is still like this, not to mention this wild land, where you gave all the aborigines After killing them, people have to be relocated here, but how many people are willing to come to this wild place?"

Xiao Ruxun said: "First contact the disaster-stricken places in the interior. The refugees are always a problem. If the problem of the refugees is not solved, the local government will also have problems. These refugees can become robbers and rebels anytime and anywhere. , if the refugees are targeted somewhere, the local government must be the most troublesome. If we find it at that time, they will definitely cooperate with us.

During this period of time, I was also inquiring about news from the mainland. There were disasters in Guanzhong, Sichuan and Yunnan, and Henan and Shandong. , The land is annexed by the powerful and powerful, and a large number of refugees are displaced. These are all hidden dangers of movement. They are overcrowded, but here in the wilderness for thousands of miles, there is no one. "

Yuan Huang thought about it carefully and thought it was the same.

"That's true."

Xiao Ruxun smiled, and said: "So, I wrote a memorial to the court, saying, you are worrying that the refugees have no place to release them, and you are afraid of causing a rebellion by the refugees, it's okay, come to me, I am short of people, you As many as there are, I will send a boat to pick them up, and we will each get what we need, do you think those elders in the capital will be happy?"

Yuan Huang didn't speak, looked at Xiao Ruxun, and suddenly laughed.

"You treacherous and cunning Xiao Jixin!"

What Xiao Ruxun said is correct. The elders in the capital are feeling overwhelmed by the surge of refugees from all over the country and the great hidden dangers to social security. Seeing that autumn is coming, winter is not far away, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The probability of death is also increasing. Once some refugees know that they will die if they don't get help, they will raise their hearts and make a big fuss.

However, there is no silver in the treasury, no grain in the warehouse, and they have nothing to do.

In fact, it is not that there is no money, nor is there no food. In the private warehouses of these officials, the silver is piled up into mountains, and the grain is put into the sea.Isn't it all torn from the Ming Dynasty?You ask them?Wouldn't that be the same as killing them?How could they hand it over?Even if the emperor asks for it himself, it is impossible, unless he learns from Li Zicheng and smashes their dog's head with a clip, in order to dig out the tens of millions of taels of silver.

But Zhu Yijun would not do that, and neither would Wang Xijue.

At this moment, Wang Xijue stared at Xiao Ruxun's victory memorial, feeling excited and surprised in his heart.

Xiao Ruxun won again, spent more than 20 taels of silver in more than three months, and wiped out Burma. Ming's prestige in Nanyang led more than [-] small countries to collectively pay tribute and rejoin the Ming's tributary system.

This Xiao Ruxun, there is no war that he can't win. After three consecutive battles and three victories, the number of beheadings has accumulated more than [-], which is close to that of the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty. Daming's prestige soared, he gained both face and reputation.

Myanmar is completely finished. The border troubles of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years no longer exist. Yunnan is safe. The land of thousands of miles in Myanmar belongs to the Ming Dynasty. A thousand miles away is a great achievement.

Before he had time to vent the thrill of victory, two matters were placed in front of Wang Xijue, which needed to be resolved urgently.

The first thing is that Xiao Ruxun asked to stay in Burma on his own initiative. The reason was to stabilize the place, avoid the resurgence of bandit soldiers, and defend the southern border for the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun requested the establishment of a Burmese military town, and he was the guarding officer. He lived in Burma and guarded the border for the country.

The second thing, considering that Myanmar is not the territory of China, and there are no Han people. If you want to occupy it for a long time, you need a large number of immigrants to fill it up, so that this place can become the permanent land of Ming Dynasty. Xiao Ruxun please transfer the refugees from all over the country to Myanmar Residing, reducing the burden for Daming and obtaining labor for Myanmar, speeding up development—he learned from the local population that there are copper mines in Myanmar. Although he doesn’t know how big they are, there must be.

Two things were placed in front of Wang Xijue, which made Wang Xijue overjoyed.

Just when I was about to sleep, someone sent me a pillow.

He was worrying about the surge in the number of refugees from all over the country and the urgent problems of the government. Xiao Ruxun directly requested that the refugees from all over the country be arranged for him, and let him take them to Burma to settle down, reclaim wasteland, explore mineral deposits, develop the local area, and make Ming Dynasty permanent. own this territory.

If nothing else, Wang Xijue couldn't refuse the temptation to go to this copper mine, let alone those big burdens, if he could throw them all to Xiao Ruxun, that would be great.
