Chapter 566 The Side Effects of Incentives

Jungle guerrilla warfare in the tropics and subtropics, for the emperor, should be avoided as much as possible.Although the Burmese may not have known or mastered this tactic, the emperor did not want to take any chances.

Defeating the main force of the Burmese and occupying the "granary" of Ava, this large piece of land is enough to digest for several years. The emperor did not want to destroy Burma at once.

Whale swallowing seems to be fun, but it has great hidden dangers, and it is likely to cause indigestion.What is important in cutting is profit, not continuous investment, let alone expensive loss-making transactions.

Of course, the emperor knew that his strategic goals were different from those of the front-line generals. One was to stop in moderation and obtain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost;

Therefore, the emperor had instructions to Wang Sanshan and asked him to supervise the implementation.

Although Wang Sanshan also wanted to be brilliant before retiring, but in the end he still took care of the overall situation, just playing around the corner, and didn't dare to go too far against the policy.

After all, the Ming army was already fully equipped with firearms and was extremely dependent on ammunition and supplies.And for the war against Burma, the imperial government has already spent a lot of money, and they just want to finish the fight as soon as possible and get back the money as soon as possible!

Fortunately, the Tengchong area has volcanic geology. There are steam springs, hot springs, hot springs, boiling springs, and hot springs such as sulfur ponds and big boiling pots, which solved the sulfur problem of gunpowder.

Moreover, the Ming army's crusade against Burma also had to support war with war, mainly by looting on the spot or obtaining grain and grass materials from various Burmese chieftains.If all the supplies are transported from the rear, it is conservatively estimated that it will take two or three years to store the military rations.

Even so, the continuous tropical jungle and the vertical and horizontal river valleys also caused great difficulties for the transportation of the Ming army.

Therefore, Wang Sanshan personally sat in Tengchong and raised supplies, which also made the army have no worries.After all, he is the governor of a province and he is good at speaking.And the war against Myanmar was also related to his honor and disgrace.

The generals are very relieved, except for Wang Sanshan's full support, the emperor is the most important thing.It is the emperor's will to cut down Myanmar, and it is also the first battle for the Ming Empire to regain its external expansion.

Whether it was the extermination of slaves in Pingliao or the suppression of rebellion in the Southwest, they should all belong to the internal wars of the Ming Empire.

The crusade against Burma is the real foreign policy. The emperor is enthusiastic about it. Who would dare to pour cold water on his head, and be disgraced and defeated in the first battle?
Moreover, for generals, for soldiers, only by fighting can they make military exploits, get promoted and get rich.In other words, war is the fastest way to promotion for soldiers.

This first battle was won, and it was a beautiful victory. Wouldn't the emperor be more motivated?Don't soldiers have more opportunities to make contributions?
Besides, with the current weapons and equipment of the Ming army, compared with the Burmese, as long as they are not mediocre and idiots, and the military strength is not particularly disparate, it seems that there is no possibility of defeating it?
Wang Sanshan and the generals discussed the plan to conquer Myanmar again, but they didn't end the meeting right away, with hesitation and hesitation on their faces.

After a long while, Wang Sanshan finally made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Long live intends to distribute [-]% of the spoils to the soldiers as incentives and rewards. I feel that there must be brave men under heavy rewards, but I am worried that this policy will make the subordinates The Tusi, who had returned to Burmese anyway, suffered heavy losses, and even became enemies with the king's division, helping the Burmese in the war."

Incentives are indeed very good, but Wang Sanshan's worries are also normal.In order to get more money, they wantonly plundered and forced the swing chieftain to the opposite side of the Ming army, which had a bad impact on the overall situation of the entire Burmese campaign.
