I'm a big dick

Chapter 560 An Impressive Name
In fact, this was not the emperor's first creation, but a practice borrowed from a certain country.

The army followed the merchants, and the seized items were converted into money. The soldiers were happy, and the merchants made money, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Of course, the specific matters can only be implemented after discussing the details, but the emperor affirmed and approved of such an approach.

As for the food and salary, it is equivalent to the basic salary of soldiers, and of course it will not be invalidated or deducted because of the introduction of this new policy.

Only then did Xiong Tingbi fully understand that it was not that the emperor wanted to save military pay, but that he wanted to give more money to the soldiers.In this case, the court seems to have to invest more.

After pondering for a while, Xiong Tingbi bowed and said: "Long live the wise man, I think we can try it out in the southwest first. In Liaodong and Northwest, there will be rewards from the imperial court after the victory, so there is no need to rush to implement it. I am worried that the incentives will be too much, and the border will start without permission." provocation."

The emperor thought for a while, then nodded his head and said: "Xiong Qing has thought carefully, and I really agree."

With that said, the emperor stood up, greeted Xiong Tingbi to the side hall, explained the latest deployment of the army in Yunnan, and planted flags on the sand table.

The current military strength in Yunnan is no worse than when we wiped out the She'an rebels.Important places such as Kunming, Yongchang, and Chuxiong were heavily garrisoned, completely suppressing the chieftain.

The front-line base for the crusade against Burma is located in Tengchong, and now there are 3 Ming troops.When the military operation is officially launched, the main attacking force will reach [-], and there will be more than [-] chieftains who will assist in the battle.

The other side attacking force is called the right wing, with 1 Ming troops sitting in the town and more than [-] local soldiers. They will enter the Myanmar border from Gengma and form a pincer attack with the main attacking force.

The army is strong, although the combat effectiveness of the native soldiers is worse; the equipment is excellent, and there are more than 300 artillery pieces.

If you want to fight, do your best, and don't give Myanmar any chance like a tiger fighting a rabbit.

"Myanmar is weakened, and the Mang family is no longer as brave as before. There should be no problem for our army to win." Xiong Tingbi explained to the emperor while planting flags and markings, "The task of the main attacking force is to enter Myanmar from the Tongtie Pass and try to defeat the Burmese army. The main force."

After a pause, Xiong Tingbi went on to introduce: "The right-wing army will enter Myanmar from Gengma three days later than the main force. It is not only to monitor the Laotian Consolation Commissioner, but also to make the Burmese army make mistakes in the initial judgment..."

The Laotian Consolation Commissioner, the Eight Hundred Daughters-in-law Kingdom... were all once vassals of the Ming Empire, and Myanmar will not have time to change its land and return to its own people in the future, so it is a temporary dependency relationship with Myanmar.

Therefore, the possibility of daring to take the initiative to fight with the Ming army is very small.There is also the containment of the right-wing Ming army, which basically poses no threat to the main attacking force.

But for these swinging vassals, the emperor did not intend to let them go.

Moreover, the chieftain of Yunnan Province sent troops to help the war, wouldn't it be beneficial?Whether it's money or land, these scumbags will always have to pay the price, or even be attacked.

The Burmese army may have an advantage in numbers, but it has fallen far behind in terms of weapons and equipment.And because there has been no war for a long time, the combat power is even less than that of the Ming army.

"I heard that there are many pagodas in Burma, and all pagodas are covered with gold." Xiong Tingbi glanced at the emperor secretly, and said: "The Burmese royal family is even richer. If they can invade Ava, the seizure will be even richer."

The emperor laughed, nodded again and again, and said: "The investment is greater than the harvest, so I will call the poor soldiers to depose the military, labor the people and waste money, and I will not do it."

After a pause, the emperor continued: "The Mang family has no morals and is extremely extravagant. My master of the Ming Dynasty launched a crusade to save the Burmese from fire and water."

Xiong Tingbi nodded vigorously, repeatedly agreeing.

There must always be a name for launching a war. It is indeed a very grandiose reason for the kingdom of heaven to crusade against the king of Wudao.
