The distribution of spoils is used to inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit and fighting spirit, and at the same time, it is also an example for the people of Daming, and to have a pioneering and adventurous spirit faster.

The emperor did not consider this policy and believed it was very good, and it was proven effective in history.

But for Wang Sanshan and others, they must not only achieve the purpose of war well and implement the emperor's will, but they still have to think carefully.

Not to mention other dynasties, even in the Ming Dynasty, generals were arbitrarily ignoring the chieftains to rebel and make military achievements and money.

Especially in this battle against Myanmar, striving to win the Burmese chieftain against the enemy, or providing food and supplies, is an effective means to speed up the war.

If the new policy of distribution of spoils is stimulated to ignore the overall situation, whether it is the Ming army or the chieftains who participated in the war, it is very likely to do it.

Therefore, Wang Sanshan wanted to control it, at least he was not going to issue this new policy to the army without thinking of a good restraining method.

This is the emperor's cleverness. He thought of the method, but it rarely announced before practice is determined. Whether it is experimentation or delegating power, it is left to officials or generals to decide.

This is not to shirk responsibility, but instead gives officials a sense of trust and makes the emperor look very human. After all, imagined policies, due to different places and different actual situations, the disadvantages of mechanical execution must also be considered.

Not to mention how Wang Sanshan discussed and decided with the officers, Yunnan Province, Sichuan, Guizhou, and even Guangxi were all preparing for this battle against Myanmar.

Although the target to be cracked down has not been made public in order to keep it confidential, some middle and senior generals and local chieftains can still guess the roughly.

On the southwest border, who else is the enemy of the Ming Empire except Myanmar?

Annan is not considered a war between Southern Ruan and Bei Zheng; Siam has always had good friends with Ming, and the rules and habits of the empire were unyielding troops.

Moreover, this was the case in ancient times. If you want to fight a big battle, it is not an exaggeration to mobilize troops.

The transportation and reserve of food and supplies, the mobilization and training of the army, etc. cannot be completed in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is not realistic and impossible to keep it absolutely confidential.

Although the border roads between Yunnan Province and Myanmar were closed and troops were stationed at the border fortress, even the emperor went to the officers below, he could not guarantee that there would be no news from Myanmar and would not make any preparations.

"Sichuan trains 30,000 troops, Yunnan Province trains 20,000 troops, Guangxi trains 55..." Wang Sanshan temporarily stopped the discussion on the distribution of spoils and announced the imperial court's expansion plan, "This is just this year's plan, and there will be an increase next year. Do you know the meaning of long live?"

No one dared to reply rashly, and they had their own guesses in their hearts. They were shocked by the emperor's courage and waited for Wang Sanshan to explain.

Wang Sanshan took a sip of tea, looked up and swept over the generals, and said in a deep voice: "My people in the Ming Dynasty have exceeded 100 million. In decades of peace, 200 million are not much. Although the Ming Dynasty has a territory of thousands of miles, the number of people is not long. The land is not long and the population is only increased. When the output of the land is insufficient, what are the consequences? There are clear records in history..."

The contradiction of small land and large population has become the main reason for the replacement of most dynasties in history. Years of war and dramatic decline in population are the root cause of the establishment of a new dynasty and upward trend.

The emperor naturally hoped that the Ming Dynasty would last for a long time, and he did not want to use a drastic population reduction to resolve conflicts. In this world, no one has a deeper feeling than the law of the jungle.

Therefore, expansion is expansion, but it is very different from Taizu and Chengzu.

At the same time, occupying vast land, resettling more Ming people, diluting the population of various provinces in the mainland, overcoming major disasters, and keeping per capita cultivated land at a certain level is the century-old plan planned by the emperor.

If the climate becomes colder, disasters are frequent, and the income from farming is not enough, then recruit troops to expand and plunder wealth.

Wang Sanshan spoke very openly and the generals could understand it.

The defence of Myanmar is not only a war of revenge, but also the beginning of the road to strengthening and enriching the country, but also a way for the Ming Empire to survive disasters and stand firm.

The land must be seized, and it must be kept even more so that the people of the Ming Dynasty can move and operate and reclaim.

This has increased the requirements for the army, but unlike the previous guisuozhou, where a small number of troops took turns to maintain the dignity of the Great Ming Dynasty.

The occupied land must become prefectures, counties, new borders, new cities and garrisons not only have to be stable in defense, but also become the spear for the expansion of the next war.

It can be imagined that maintaining stability in the newly occupied areas is inevitable. Moreover, it will be cruel in the early stage to play a deterrent role.

Wang Sanshan ended today's military discussion and asked the generals to go back and digest it, and put forward ideas and suggestions tomorrow.

Wang Sanshan did not tell the generals in detail about some things.

For example, Qin Liangyu from Sichuan was awarded the title of Earl for quelling the She'an Rebellion, which also set a precedent for women in the Ming Dynasty to be awarded the title. After the Sichuan army was mobilized, Qin Liangyu once again volunteered to lead 5,000 stone pillars of earth troops to Yunnan to participate in the war.

There are also chieftains from Guangxi, and the four families jointly sent 10,000 troops, which were also approved by the imperial court and were about to go to Yunnan.

The chieftains in Yunnan Province were even more active, including the Na family, Sha family, Pu family, Dao family, etc., who planned to dispatch more than 60,000 people, and they were waiting for the court to allow them.

Not only mobilization, but also training, the Ming army's combat power was naturally credible, but they did not want the chieftain coalition to drag it back.

It was precisely because of such a big disturbance that Wang Sanshan and others also filed a record to prevent the early attacks of the Burmese people and deployed elite troops on the border.

The so-called elite army is naturally the army that has experienced the fight to combat the Shean rebels. It is led by outstanding generals, including Xu Sanshao and others who graduated from martial arts and promoted to middle and senior officers all the way.

In the telescope's field of view, there are mountains, jungles, roads, and even smoke from distant villages.

Xu Sanshao pursed the corner of his mouth and put down the telescope.

The combat staff were with him, summarizing the recent reconnaissance information and continuing to report: "The Burmese equipped a large number of muskets, but they are all old-fashioned mesh guns, and were purchased from Westerners..."

The Portuguese once occupied the sharem in Myanmar and obtained the permission of the Burmese King at that time, so they purchased many Western-style mesh rope guns.

These clamps are stronger than the bird guns equipped by the Ming army before, but they are far behind the flintlock guns of the Ming army.

Moreover, the Burmese and the Portuguese had already had a feud, drove Shallang's Portuguese away, and cut off the subsequent supply of weapons and equipment.
