Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 530
The new book "The Rise of Great Powers 1900" is for collection.

------------

Zhu Cihuan would be in danger. Yang Chao had already thought of this. Myanmar is not a civilized country. There are many ethnic groups in this country. There are four main ethnic groups, which are divided into Mon, Shan and Burmese.

The present Myanmar is the Toungoo Dynasty established by the Burmese, which was unified from the former Toungoo State, and the Toungoo State was established by the Burmese who moved southward under the oppression of the Awa Dynasty established by the Shan people. The Toungoo Dynasty The ability to unify the world is also due to the 40-year war between the Baigu Dynasty and the Ava Dynasty of the Mon nationality. After the two countries were exhausted, they were able to unify.

Therefore, the Burmese do not actually have an absolute advantage. In addition, the civilization is basically not much higher than that of the chieftains in Yunnan. Therefore, it is not a unified ideology and culture that maintains the system, but violence. Such a country maintains too much primitive wildness. You expect him to be wise and know how to compromise, but it is too difficult for him.

But if you don't fight, you will be coerced by the Burmese like Li Dingguo. Is it possible that you will still obey Burmese in the future?
Therefore, it is necessary to enter the army, and since the Dongyu people dared to kill the emperor of Huaxia, then the so-called Dongyu Dynasty is coming to an end.

Song Kun immediately entered the army.

The vanguard was Siam's thousand-headed war elephants.

The Siamese are slightly more civilized than the Burmese at this time, because they are closer to China, and they can also maintain contact with India by sea. They are between the two civilization centers, so naturally they accept more civilizations. Apart from being close to India, it is basically difficult for Myanmar to absorb cultural nutrition from China.

Therefore, Siam has always been able to maintain unity in the past 500 years, while Myanmar has been in a state of division for a long time. Now it is the second dynasty in their history, the Ayutthaya Dynasty, that rules Siam.

Just because of the higher level of civilization, just like the more civilized ancient Greece was attacked by Macedonia, ancient Rome was attacked by Germania, and ancient China was invaded by the Huns, the Siamese were often attacked by Burmese tribes in history.

Therefore, Siam was very active in uniting other countries to attack Burma. The merchants who came back through Vietnam learned that Ming was planning to send troops to Burma, and they actively sent envoys to respond.

The Siamese even provided the food supply for Song Kun's army. It's a pity that their weapons and equipment must be transported from the country by water. The long distance and transportation pressure are too great. It is the limit to supply them with 3 people, at least in Yang Chao Before the end of the Northern Expedition, it is absolutely impossible to send more troops south.

But Song Kun felt that enough was enough. Based on his contact with the Cambodians in Cambodia, he felt that the fighting power of these southern countries was not worth mentioning. He could destroy these countries with 1 people.

Song Kun did not act together with the Siamese, but split into two groups. The Siamese set off from their northern plateau city Chiang Mai and directly invaded the Salween River Basin.

Song Kun has been staying in Bangkok, the southern city of Siam, to rest and wait for the news of the war between the Burmese and the Siamese. Song Kun finally acted.

He directly approached Yangon by sea, and Toungoo is more than 400 miles north of Yangon, and there are waterways connected.

At this time, Yangon is not the Yangon of later generations, but a small fishing village called Dagon, and it belongs to the Mon nationality.

This descendant of the Mon tribe ranks the fourth largest nation in Myanmar, but it is indeed the first nation to be civilized in the history of Myanmar. When other nations were still in primitive society, they absorbed Indian civilization and had their own writing, architecture, painting, Sculpture, music and dance.

And this is a farming nation.

It is a pity that most of the farming peoples in the world have declined, been integrated, and perished under the invasion of nomads time and time again.

Not every ethnic group has the resilience of the Han people, who can always fight back again and again. Small ethnic groups do not have solid capital, and they cannot stand up after a fatal blow.

The only people who have this kind of capital are probably the Indian nation and the Han nationality. Unfortunately, the Indian nation has been successively defeated by Aryans, Greeks, Huns, Guishan people, Turks, Afghans, Persians, Mongols and other powerful nations. After the conquest, they got used to submission. In the last 1000 years, the Indians have no country of their own. Of course, the nomads who invaded India, like the nomads who invaded China, were mostly assimilated.

The Han nationality not only has a strong internal cohesion, but also has better luck, so it survived. Perhaps it cannot be explained simply by luck, because the Han nationality not only survived it time and time again, but also fought back time and time again. Its own culture conquers the backward nations, and counterattacks them with absolute force. This is the fundamental difference between the Han nationality and the Indian nation.

Even powerful nations such as the Indian and Han nations, as well as the Greek, Roman, and Egyptian nations, could not resist the invasion of backward nations, let alone a small tribe like the Mon. One generation was assimilated by the Burmese, and later generations became a minority.

But at this time, the Mon nationality can at least compete with the Burmese in terms of numbers, because their country has only been subjugated for about 100 years, so the Mon is still a large ethnic group, and many people are dissatisfied with the rule of the Burmese.

This caused Song Kun to fight Ling Dagon. Not only did he not encounter resistance, but after the translator from Siam publicized it, he soon got the support of the local Mon tribes. They were also willing to join Song Kun's army, and Song Kun Let's overthrow the Toungoo Dynasty together, but I hope Song Kun will help them restore the country.

Song Kun couldn't do these things, but someone could. Xu Sinan, who was with the army, immediately expressed his absolute determination to restore the Mon family to the country, and promised to help them restore the old capital of Bagu.

In this way, the Mon people revolted. Song Kun was in charge of attacking the regular Burmese army, and the Mon people began to attack the small Burmese troops everywhere, sneak attacking their food and supplies, creating a sense of terror everywhere, and at the same time propagating the idea of ​​restoring the country.

Before Song Kun could reach Toungoo, wars were already raging in Burma.

By the time Song Kun reached the city of Taungoo, the Burmese regime had basically lost control of the place. At the same time, they abandoned the capital without waiting for Song Kun to attack the city, and even set fire to it before leaving.

Song Kun occupied Taungoo, and began to use political means to win over and contact ethnic groups such as the Mon and Shan, and agreed to help them restore the country as a condition. These people who are more familiar with the local terrain go around to chase down the Burmese army. The only thing Song Kun has to do is to provide these people with weapons and equipment.

When the situation in the south was received, the north had basically stabilized.

As Dorgon fled Mobei with the whole family, the Great Wall was basically restored. After Hong Chengchou poisoned Li Guohan in Jingzhou, he surrendered with [-] Shaanxi Green Camp.

Wu Sangui turned around and entered Sichuan, massacred a group of young and ambitious slave owners, liberated all the coats, and surrendered to Yang Chao.

So far, the whole of China, except the Western Regions and Qinghai-Tibet, has been under the control of Yang Chao, and even Liaodong has been recovered.

At the same time, everyone discovered that Yang Chao had unified China, and the emperor Zhu Cihuan who was patrolling Burma had also died.

"Be the emperor? Didn't this king say that there will only be one king in Ming Dynasty in the future, and the emperor is the title of the emperor, and there can only be one emperor and one emperor in the entire East! Whoever refuses to accept this king will respect the king and fight against barbarians. How can he be himself?" emperor!"

Faced with a wave of persuasion from his subordinates, Yang Chao replied.

"Confer meritorious ministers? Hey, you can't wait so long. This king has already prepared."

Yang Chao agreed to the canonization of heroes.

The army stopped within the Great Wall and did not go out to fight immediately, but turned to rest.

But that doesn't mean the Northern Expedition is over.

"Do you know why Dorgon gave up Beijing so easily? It's because they don't value land so much. For us, if we lose the land, we lose everything. For them, cattle, sheep, livestock and slaves are the most important things. Everything. This is fundamentally different. So they took away the people, the horses, and their cattle and sheep on the grassland. In fact, Dorgon may not feel that he has lost completely."

"When is the Northern Expedition? The time is not yet. Emperor Taizu and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty have been on the Northern Expedition for so many years, haven't they completely defeated Meng Yuan? Because they are untenable, the grassland is naturally the rear of the nomads, so Dole Dagon will flee back to the grassland to rest. When I can gain a foothold on the grassland, I will go to the Northern Expedition. Once I succeed, I will not leave any hidden dangers for future generations!"

Longwu 18 years.

Yang Chao named a hero in Beijing.

The two men with the most military merits, Li Wuliu and Wang Pu, were divided into Marquis respectively, Li Wuliu was granted the title of Marquis of Chengdu, and Wang Pu was granted the title of Marquis of Taiyuan, in recognition of their meritorious service in fighting in Shandong and Henan.

Among the remaining senior generals, most of them were Feng Bo.

Many men are the uncles of Cangzhou; Lu Mo is the uncle of Tongzhou; Hu Quan is the uncle of Yangqu; Song Kun is the uncle of Taigu; Xie Fei is the uncle of Qixian; Zhao Kang is the uncle of Guanxian; Zheng Yongwang is the uncle of Xinfan; Sun Changfu is the uncle of Chongning Bo.

Even the Huangfeng mansion conferred a title of Uncle Huayang.

These titles awarded by Yang Chao are all corresponding to the actual situation. This is not a miscellaneous earl such as Chengyi Earl and Loyalty Earl, and all the places are concentrated in Beizhili (Hebei), Shanxi and Sichuan, because Yang Chao Chao really planned to give these heroes fiefdoms.

The three places of Beizhili, Shanxi and Sichuan happened to be the enclosures selected by the Manchus, and the Manchus were all beaten away. The land here naturally became unclaimed land, although most of them had to be divided to appease the common people. But it should be said that it is fair to allocate a large piece of land to one's heroes, and because they are all taken from the enemy, Sichuan is full of tigers, and they can't find people to farm the land. Heroes are no problem.

Not only did he give land to the heroes, but Yang Chao could also choose the best geographical location for them. Cangzhou and Tongzhou in North Zhili were important transportation routes, and Changping was also land close to Beijing.

Yangqu, located in Shanxi, is directly where the government of Taiyuan is located, and Taigu is the hometown of Shanxi merchants and local tyrants. The land here will definitely be very valuable in the future.

Located in Guanxian County, Sichuan Province, this is where Dujiangyan is located. Yang Chaoke found a piece of fertile land for his cousin. Xinfan and Chongning are both good places on the Chengdu Plain.

Huayang County, where Huangfeng Mansion is located, is also the same city as the seat of Chengdu Mansion, so it is also a good place.

To siege the city and seal the land, does Yang Chao want to block the land and seal the border?of course not!
