I'm a big dick

Chapter 607 Human Trafficking
War bonds, it doesn’t matter how much they are, is to launch a new model where the whole people participate in the country’s external expansion and plunder.

That's right, to put it nicely, it's called "opening up the frontiers and expanding the land, and powerfully conquering the world". The essence is aggression and plunder.

How can the billions of people of the Ming Dynasty be limited to the so-called "territory of thousands of miles, vast land and abundant resources"?Can't you see that the amount of land can no longer satisfy the "land to the tiller", can't you see that there are tens of thousands of landless farmers?
Of course, just the increase in land cannot meet the emperor's requirements.Now that war bonds have been issued, the looted wealth should be visible and touching.

The war to be launched this year is mainly to conquer Burma, and the second is to annex Champa and make preparations to recover the former.

The war against Burma was planned a few years ago, to revive the Ming Empire's power over the southwestern states, and to recover the consolation envoys that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

The annexation of Champa is a plan determined this year based on the new situation. The troops used include [-] soldiers from Mekong Province and the First South China Sea Fleet of the Navy.

When occupying and developing Mekong Province a few years ahead, Champa can also serve as a buffer.Now, Champa is weak and is about to be annexed by Nanruan. The Ming Dynasty must be ahead of it and restrain Nanruan from expanding southward.

In Annan's Beizheng and Nanruan, the overall strength is dominated by Beizheng, and Nanruan barely competes with it. If you want to strengthen your strength, you must go south.

This is also the case in history. The South Nguyen annexed the Champa Kingdom and occupied the Mekong Delta, and only then did it have the strength to overwhelm the Northern Zheng.

But how could the emperor make Nan Nguyen wishful? He had already set his sights on the Champa Kingdom, the wealth of the royal family, and the high-yield rice-growing areas. These are the nutrients for the Ming Dynasty to grow.

The battle with the Dutch in the South China Sea wiped out their fleet. The news has spread, and both Zheng and Nanruan should know.

With the development of Mekong Province in the past few years, tens of thousands of troops have been dispatched. Coupled with the deterrence of the navy, Nanruan, under the pressure of Beizheng, will never dare to provoke the behemoth of Ming Dynasty again.

Therefore, in the eyes of the emperor, the annexation of Champa was a very easy military operation, and it was very likely that there would be no decent resistance.

Although the Champa Kingdom was small and weak, the emperor believed that the wealth of the royal family must have been accumulated over the years.Such an easy and huge battle, and the timing of launching it is just right, why not do it?
And war bonds were meant to cause a stir and make a name for themselves.In addition to Champa, the goal of the war against Burma has also changed.

Tengchong, the newly established Weapons Bureau, is doing its best to produce the weapons and ammunition needed for war.

Wang Sanshan, the governor of Yunnan, watched as he walked, asking questions from time to time, and officials from the Weapons Bureau accompanied him to give answers.

"Is this an improved rocket?" Wang Sanshan stopped in front of the rocket launcher and looked at it with great interest.

Because of its advantages of being easy to carry and having a long range, rockets are widely equipped in the Ming army.The improved launcher is no longer a single row, but multiple rows, similar to the multiple rocket launchers of later generations.

The director of the Weapons Bureau is a senior engineer from the Capital Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau. His surname is Zhao Mingwei, and he is also a student of Sun Yuanhua. This time he is the chief officer.

"Master Hui Wang." Zhao Wei stretched out his finger and explained, "This is the same as the previous rocket launches, but the number of launches has greatly increased. You see, this is three rows of twelve tubes, and there are two rows of eight rockets over there." manage."

After a pause, he pointed to the rocket next to him and said, "Actually, the biggest improvement is the rocket itself. With the addition of a tail fin, the stability and accuracy have been greatly improved."

Wang Sanshan nodded again and again, and praised: "So that's the case. I have gained insight again."

The arsenal mainly produces ammunition and repairs firearms and weapons.Coupled with the heavy pressure of rockets and bronze, it can basically meet the war needs of Famen.

This is mainly due to the topography of Myanmar, where heavy artillery is inconvenient to transport and its role is limited.

With rockets and heavy pressure, the firing range far exceeds that of the Burmese. Long-range bombing is hanging; medium and short-range firepower is mainly Francois machine guns and flintlock guns.

Not to mention the Burmese, all the armies in the world are counted, and in terms of firepower, they are much weaker than the Ming army.As long as the soldiers are not soft-footed shrimps and fight normally, there is no reason for the Ming army to fail.

After Wang Sanshan finished his inspection and walked out of the heavily guarded arsenal, he remembered something again and asked the officials next to him: "We need to speed up the mobilization of Sichuan and Yunnan horses."

"Don't worry, my lord." The official bowed and said, "The quantity can only be exceeded, and there will be no shortage."

Sichuan-Yunnan horses are short and not good at charging, but they have strong endurance, can carry heavy loads, and are most suitable for walking complex roads or mountain roads.

The powerful firepower depends on the supply of ammunition.Fighting wars is all about logistics. This purpose has been paid more and more attention to and accepted by the Ming army.

As for supplies such as grain and grass, the principle of the war against Burma was to obtain them locally, that is, to support wars with wars.In this way, the logistical pressure on the Ming army was greatly reduced.

It was the season of high and crisp autumn, and the grain in Burma was about to be harvested, which happened to be prepared for the Ming army.

As soon as Wang Sanshan returned to the station, he received the emperor's secret decree.

Some things can be said publicly, such as the writing of the Ministry of War; some things are not suitable for publicity, such as the secret recording system.

Wang Sanshan took out the cipher book, read through the translation of the secret decree, stroked his beard and thought for a while, and ordered the generals to come to discuss the matter.

As for Famyan, the emperor originally aimed to cannibalize him. Before, he only fought under the city of Ava, forcing the king of Burma to sign an unequal treaty, so as to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.

But now, the emperor's determination has changed.In the secret decree, Wang Sanshan was asked if he could take down Ava City in one go.As for King Myanmar, the emperor didn't care.

As the royal city of Ava City, the wealth of the royal family should be very rich, only a lot more than that of the royal family of Champa.

In the past, the emperor was worried that the land would be too large, which would lead to indigestion, which would involve and consume the strength of the Ming army.But the way of thinking has changed again, which can minimize the possible resistance of the Burmese in the occupied areas.

The method is not complicated, that is emigration, or directly called population trading.

The Maritime Chamber of Commerce has already set a price, 20 yuan for male prisoners of war in the prime of life, 15 yuan for women, [-] yuan for older or younger prisoners of war; and [-] yuan for those who are worse.

This is only the superficial price, and the cost of transporting the prisoners of war will be fully borne by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce.

The proposal of the Maritime Chamber gave Emperor Mao Sai a sudden insight, and new ideas and methods came into being.

Selling the Burmese in the occupied area to the Chamber of Commerce not only made money, but also minimized possible resistance in the occupied area.

The development of Mekong Province also needs population, but as an official institution, it cannot use such blatant means.At least it can't be revealed, and it is still possible to secretly send people to Mekong Province.

The Burmese moved to Mekong Province or Borneo, and the aborigines such as the Vietnamese in Mekong Province can move to Borneo...

good, very good.In a foreign land, these people will be easy to manage.After a few years of education, they should be able to speak Chinese; after more than ten years, the newly born will almost forget their original ethnicity.
