The war in Myanmar went surprisingly smoothly, surprisingly smoothly.
The city of Yangon was occupied calmly. Facing the local local kings, those noble second-generation killers had not had time to resort to the Ming Dynasty tradition of playing with your wife in front of you and throwing your son into a well.
Skill.
The Earth King raised his hands and feet and welcomed Master Wang from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, the local wealthy families also responded one after another, and even ordinary barbarians did not think there was anything wrong.
To put it in the words of the battle report, when the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty controlled various traffic arteries, those barbarians actually dragged their families to watch the excitement on the roadside.
In fact, it is not surprising when you think about it. How can those barbarians have any sense of family, country, world, my country and my species?
For them, the powerful Zhongxia Empire has been deeply ingrained in their hearts and has become an unattainable legend. But now, the arrival of Akito seems to them to be nothing more than a new master.
Even deep in their hearts, they felt that the new master's shiny armor, tall body, and long sword in his hand seemed to be more intimidating than the original Earth King.
Of course, the premise of all this is that those second-generation nobles do not wield the butcher knife to implement the all-light policy.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi put down the military newspaper and walked to the window, frowning and thinking.
He felt a little emotional about the power of Zhongxia civilization.
Perhaps these small foreign countries are not like Goryeo and Dongying Annan, they are all unified countries that are bathed in Zhongxia culture and are proud of their unified political power within the Zhongxia cultural system.
But for thousands of years, throughout the dynasties, these small states would pay tribute to Zhongxia. This was the most pious way they could think of to express respect.
Of course, respect comes from strength.
For thousands of years, as long as China was unified and there was no war, it would be the most ferocious lion in the jungle of the world.
It is we ourselves who put shackles on this lion.
Just like the Ming Dynasty in the original time and space, it began to decline after Yingzong for nearly two hundred years. Then the invisible shackles turned the lion in Zhongxia into an amiable lion dog.
In the past two hundred years, these small states in the surrounding areas went from admiring the Zhongxia civilization to learning and imitating it. From divided city-states to unified dynasties, they then dared to show their teeth and even provoke the weak Zhongxia Empire.
Fortunately, our foundation is too strong to withstand the squandering of unscrupulous descendants.
And our civilization is like the sea. A calm sea can purify everything, but when it is no longer calm, turbulent waves can also swallow up the world.
No matter what, no matter how the dynasties change, we remain the supreme existence in the land of the yellow race.
This will make, hundreds of years later, the small countries around us want to get close to us, but at the same time they are afraid of our strength. They go back on their word and are at both ends of the spectrum.
Because they were afraid, afraid that Zhongxia, the lion that had awakened, would open its bloody mouth and swallow them.
"We are very powerful!" Zhu Yunxi looked out the window at the dim lights that had just been lit, and thought to himself, "But in the vast history, we have lost too much! And what I have to do now is to bring back what has been lost.
The thing, once again grasped in the hand, completely becomes the flesh and blood that nourishes the fierce lion in Zhongxia. Let the lion grow wings and eventually evolve into a dragon..."
Thinking about this, Zhu Yunxi put his thoughts back, sat at the imperial desk again, looked at the military report on the table, and said, "Call Zhang Yan, Xu Huizu, Li...just the two of them to come see me!"
The shameless bastard quietly entered the palace and whispered, "Long live my Lord, you haven't had your meal yet!"
"Prepare some side dishes, I will eat with them!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand.
~~
In the Qianqing Palace, the lights are brightly lit.
The food on the table was cold but not touched at all.
"What do you think after reading the military report on the use of troops against Burma?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
Zhang Yan was silent. He was a civil servant and he never spoke easily about war matters.
Xu Huizu was silent for a moment, "It seems to be going well now, but it's hard to say in the future. I think we should be cautious, as arrogant soldiers will be defeated!" He said, "Especially the strategy formulated in advance must not be changed just because the war goes well. Yi Zhang strictly ordered the frontline generals not to advance rashly. At the same time..."
As he said that, he glanced at Zhang Yan and said, "Immediately send officials to Burma to prepare for supporting the puppet king, establishing a marriage between the new dynasty, and other matters!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "What Ai Qing said is true. One city or one place doesn't mean anything. You can't raise your tail just because of a small victory. After all, this battle is far from over!" As he said that, he looked at Zhang He said, "Zhang Aiqing, please tell me too!"
"I don't understand the war minister, but I think what Wei Guogong said about supporting the puppet king to establish a new dynasty is true, and I also think that this matter is the top priority now!" Zhang Yan said slowly, "No. All earth kings will willingly submit to Ming Dynasty, so Ming Dynasty will set the tone from the beginning!"
"The so-called name is not justified, but the teacher must be famous! Support the puppet king to establish a new dynasty and name it, and in the name of unifying Burma, it is best to turn this battle into a just battle for our Ming Dynasty."
"With the great honor and great righteousness, if the powerful families of the small states in Burma are willing to surrender, I think that I can follow the example of the chieftains of the Ming Dynasty and give them the title of Xuanwei Envoy, and they can be canonized directly by the court."
After saying that, Zhang Yu paused, "But we must not give them hereditary and irreplaceable power like me, the chieftain of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise it will be easy to breed tigers!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded while listening, picked up a piece of peach cake and took a bite, "Keep talking!"
"At the same time, immigration and the establishment of vassal clans must be put on the agenda immediately!" Zhang Yan added, "While the Burmese people haven't come to their senses yet, we need to take advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty's roots are rooted down and we are building a new vassal in an important position." Chengjianguan." As he spoke, he sighed and smiled bitterly, "It is said that Burma has a lot of gold, silver, copper and iron, but if there are no people or few people, everything will be a mirror image!"
People, in the final analysis, still need people.
Because occupying Myanmar means plundering cheap raw materials and a huge blank market...
It's like when Dayin completely controlled the economic lifeline of that land against Third Brother.
But one thing that makes the Ming Dynasty better than the Yin Dynasty is that for Myanmar, the Ming Dynasty is not a stranger or an alien species.
"In my opinion, there is one more urgent matter that cannot be postponed!" Zhang Yan said again.
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, "Is what Aiqing wants to mint coins?" He said, and then said, "To put it bluntly, issue coins in Myanmar!"
It was rare for Zhang Yan to flatter him, "The emperor knows everything from thousands of miles away!"
The Ming Dynasty's army was fighting in Burma, so many things had to be purchased locally.
In this battle to annihilate the country by assimilating the opponent, killing is the fuse that ignites hatred. Only a knife in one hand and money in the other is the king.
For example, if we purchase military supplies locally, we can't let the army rob us, right?
If you don’t want to rob, then buy it with money!
But the gold and silver of the Ming Dynasty must not flow to Burma. The Ming Dynasty was there to rob things, not to consume them.
Because Myanmar is divided into small states, there is no unified currency at all.
Currency is the economic foundation that maintains a country. If Ming Dynasty controls the currency of Burma, it is equivalent to seizing the egg of Burma!
"The previous spies found the location of Myanmar's copper mines and silver mines." Xu Huizu said hesitantly, "But the issue of minting coins, which involves craftsmen's molds and other matters, cannot be done overnight!"
"Haha!" Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi and Zhang Wei both laughed.
Xu Huizu blushed immediately and looked at Zhang Yan, "Are they using coins minted by our Ming Dynasty? Isn't that... leaked out?"
