The elephant wearing armor and cloth strips on his body was taken back to the Ming army camp by the captives.

The Ming army pointed and began to watch these huge giant beasts. These battlefield monsters that shone in ancient India and Persia eventually withdrew from the stage of history.

Myanmar sent most of the troops to come to the east to defend Peng Zhuze, the country was empty.

Yao Qisheng's Malacca garrison and Yunnan prefecture troops took the opportunity to invade Myanmar from both north and south, and Dongyu City was lost in less than half a month.

Speaking of city offensive and defensive battles, no one is better at it than the Han people. In the past, they were facing big cities such as Shanhaiguan, Tongguan, and Beijing, and the great city is dangerous. When they attack Dongyu City, they are as simple as attacking a small town in the Central Plains.

There was no peace in Mangdali's palace. As the king of Myanmar, he and his relatives would not leave a living. A prefecture in Jingnan Province did not need a king, nor did a lot of royal relatives. Yao Qisheng killed all the members of the royal family, but kept the Burmese king Mangdali and refused to kill him, just waiting for Peng Zhuze to arrive.

The royal family in Myanmar is extremely rich. This place borders India, has a vast land area, and is adjacent to the Indian Ocean, with a long coastline. Westerners landed here early and established two East India branches, one of the Dutch and the other of the British.

There is a rule in this era, that is, as long as you participate in maritime trade, the country will be rich. Of course, if it becomes a colony under the premise of fairness, it will no longer apply.

Yao Qisheng was already filled with joy when he looked at the mountains of wealth in the treasury of the Burmese Palace. In recent times, foreign wars have been used to support wars, and the more he fought, the more he became richer. This time it seems no exception. Moreover, Myanmar is so big, its benefits will only be greater in the future.

It seems very difficult and even a bit horrifying to conquer a country, but it is too simple for the Han people at this time.

The reason why the Central Plains dynasty has not continued to expand its territory is not because it is not strong enough, but because the dynasty with farming as the main body is unwilling to make trouble for some barren land and waste money.

The reason why our territory is only so large is because there is no land that can be seen by our ancestors. There is no water in the western region of the Yellow Sand Jedi, which is not suitable for farming. There is water in the South Ocean, but there are many mosquitoes and malaria killing people, and it is not suitable for everyone to farm. From the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the power territory was only in the northern Yellow River Plain, to the present day from the grasslands to the deserts in the west, the seaside in the east, and the dense forests in the south, almost all the land that can be seen has become our residence.

He took the land of Baiyue in the south and thought it was Guilin and Xiangjun. The king of Baiyue bowed his head and tied his neck and ordered his subordinates to order his subordinates. He then ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall in the north and guard the fences, but the Huns were more than 700 miles away. The Hu people did not dare to go south and shed horses, and the soldiers did not dare to bend their bows and repay their grievances.

The process of conquering the land by the Han people was the most smooth because of our advanced years, which was far ahead of the world, was no exaggeration to say that being assimilated was a blessing for foreign countries.

Only with nationalism can colonialism emerge. The essence of colonization is that a strong nation enslaves another weak nation. This process of bloody violence will definitely create irreversible hatred. White-skinned people are ridiculously arrogant and unwilling to assimilate the lower nations in their eyes. Therefore, even if the powerful empire that does not set for a while, the dust returns to the dust, and the territory is still in those places on the island. And there is no place where they once scattered around the world.

But the Han people are different. Hou Xuanyan assimilated through population and culture to integrate them into the Chinese nation, not exploitation and enslavement. Just like the herdsmen in Jingbei, many Mongolians are more brave than the Han people in fighting for Jingbei Province and surrounding enemies. Sometimes civilization is engraved in the cracks of bones and carried it when they are born, which is the commonality of a nation. Even if the white-skinned people are leading the East for many years after the Industrial Revolution, they cannot have the genes of this civilization. Since the birth of human society, the nation has its own unique features.

Finally, the Burmese soldiers who were still organizing sporadic resistance received news of the fall of Dongshuo City, and no one dared to organize large-scale resistance again.

Peng Zhuze fought all the way to Dongxu City. Yao Qisheng had already greeted him outside the city. On a sunny afternoon, two generals of commanders met here.

The last time was at the Siam Palace, this time I changed to Myanmar, and it was less than a month apart. Sometimes wars were faster than marching.

When Peng Zhuze came to the palace, he first asked, "Where is Mang Dali? You haven't killed him?"

Yao Qisheng felt a little unhappy and secretly thought that Peng Zhuze was still greedy for merit. Fortunately, he did not kill the Burmese King, otherwise he would inevitably be worn by the general. He thought so in his heart, but he smiled on his face, "Of course not, the lower official has already locked him in prison and waited for the general to deal with it."

Peng Zhuze breathed a sigh of relief and said fortunately, "Fortunately you did not kill me. Your Majesty lowered the order and asked me to escort him into the capital. Your Majesty was going to behead him in Jinling and establish his authority with his head. When I received the imperial edict, I was very worried that you would cut him down with one knife. At that time, Your Majesty's drama will not be able to sing, and we will be unlucky. At least, a scolding is inevitable. You don't know Your Majesty's temper, and it will be very ugly to curse people. This general thinks he is thick-skinned enough, but he is scolded so much that he can't raise his head. He sweats like rain."

Only then did Yao Qisheng realize that he was judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It turned out that Peng Zhuze was not greedy for merit.

After wiping his forehead, Yao Qisheng said ashamed, "The general made great contributions this time, destroying the Three Kingdoms and regaining his hometown, and destroying the Southeast Asian countries. Your Majesty will definitely praise the general, so how could he get angry?"

Peng Zhuze was really happy in his heart, squinted his eyes and smiled, thinking that after returning to Jinling, he would really be praised by His Majesty, and his heart was like eating honey. He couldn't help laughing twice and said, "Don't worry, as long as it is your credit, I will report it truthfully, and keep you from being able to be promoted. Your Majesty is the most clear reward and punishment."

Hou Xuanyan, who was clearly rewarded and punished, was currently planning a big shot in the court. This time, his goal was to recruit scholars all over the world, so that they could go to Nanyang to educate the people and promote etiquette and culture.

Those scholars who lost their high status because of May Enko instantly became popular again, but the South Ocean was too far away, and many people were unwilling to go. It was rumored that there was a desolate place with miasma and poisonous snakes everywhere.

Hou Xuanyan was ordered to meet all the officials of Tongzhengsi in Nuanfang Pavilion, and asked them to dance and publicize the benefits and significance of going south in the newspaper.

Hou Xuanyan pinched his waist and gave them a passionate speech. The group of people below, led by Gu Yanwu, were excited to hear it.

Who said that scholars are useless? Today they will use their pen to expand their territory. Inspired by Hou Xuan's extremely magnetic voice, everyone was eager to try it out, and they wanted to go back and write their pens immediately.

Hou Xuanyan looked around with satisfaction and found that everyone was very excited. Except for the two or three people in the corner, they were drooping their eyelids and were desperate without any fighting spirit.

Hou Xuanyan immediately pointed and scolded, "What's going on with these people? Can't you hear what I said?"

Gu Yanwu turned around and quickly explained, "Your Majesty, this is the Tongzheng Department, who is specifically responsible for writing the middle story of the mansion newspaper, and is not responsible for what we are talking about."

When the three writers saw Long Yan furious, they nodded desperately to prove their innocence.

Hou Xuanyan nodded, his eyes turned and said, "You are also useful. Do more articles about Nanyang beauties embracing Han men. Write them more erotic, and those pedantic scholars love this."

When a few people heard it, their eyes lit up. The most feared thing about making up stories is the bottleneck. The stories in their hearts are almost used. His Majesty's words suddenly opened up a field that they had never set foot in. This subject is full of brand new stories waiting for them to develop.

And I was also writing x books under the order, and I felt excited when I thought about it.
