War bonds don’t matter a little bit, they just introduce a new model to participate in the country’s external expansion and plunder.

That's right, it sounds nice to say that it is to expand territory and to conquer the world. It is essentially invasion and looting.

How could the people of the Ming Dynasty be limited to the so-called "ten thousand miles of territory, vast land and vast objects"? The number of land cannot be seen, "the land has its own land", and the land cannot be seen, and the landless farmers cannot be seen?

Of course, the increase in land cannot meet the emperor's requirements. Since war bonds have been issued, the plundered wealth is best seen and touching.

The war that will be launched this year is mainly to attack Myanmar, and secondary to annexation of the city-state, and to prepare for the recovery of the previous trap.

The attack on Myanmar was planned a few years ago to revitalize the Ming Empire's power over the southwestern countries and recover the Xuanwei Envoy, which was originally part of the Ming Dynasty.

The annexation of Chameng Kingdom was a plan determined this year based on the new situation, and the troops used included 5,000 soldiers from Mekong Province and the first Navy's South China Sea Fleet.

When Jokhang was developing Mekong Province a few years ago, Chameng could still serve as a buffer. Now, Chameng is in decline and is about to be annexed by Nam Ruan. Ming must seize the opportunity to suppress Nam Ruan's expansion to the south.

In Annan, North Zheng Nanruan, the overall strength is North Zheng, and South Ruan barely competes with it. If you want to strengthen your strength, you must go south.

This is also true in history. Nan Ruan annexed Champaign and occupied the Mekong Delta, which led to the strength to overwhelm Beizheng.

But how could the emperor let Nan Ruan Ruyi beg for a long time? He had long focused on Chameng Kingdom, the wealth of the royal family, and the high-yield rice cultivation areas, which were all the nutrients for strengthening the Ming Kingdom.

The battle with the Dutch in the South China Sea killed its fleet, and the news has spread, and the north, Zheng, and Nanruan should know.

With the development of Mekong Province in the past few years, it has been able to dispatch tens of thousands of troops. In addition to the deterrence of the Shanghai army, Nan Ruan would never dare to provoke the behemoth of Ming Kingdom under the pressure of Bei Zheng.

Therefore, in the emperor's opinion, annexation of Champaign was a very easy military operation, and it was likely that he would not even encounter decent resistance.

Although Champaign was small and weak, the emperor believed that after so many years of accumulation, his royal family would definitely have a lot of wealth. Such an easy and huge war was achieved, and the timing of the war was just right, so why not?

War bonds are about to cause a sensation and make a name for themselves. In addition to Champaign, the goal of the anti-Myanmar war has also changed.

Tengchong, the newly built weapon bureau, is fully producing weapons and ammunition needed for war.

The governor of Yunnan, Wang Sanshan, walked and looked around, and asked from time to time, and the officials from the Weapon Bureau were accompanying him and gave answers.

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

Because of its simplicity and easy-to-carry and long range, rockets were widely equipped in the Ming army. The improved launch frame is no longer a single row, but a multi-row rocket launcher, which looks like later generations.

The head of the Weapon Bureau is a senior engineer of the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau of the Beijing Military Academy. His surname is Zhao and his student Sun Yuanhua. This time he became the chief officer.

"Mr. Huiwang." Zhao Wei pointed his finger and pointed at the commentary: "This is no different from the previous rocket launches, but the number of launches has increased significantly. You see, this is three rows of twelve tubes, and there are two rows of eight tubes over there."

After pausing, he pointed to the Rockets next to him and said, "In fact, the biggest improvement is the Rockets themselves. With the installation of the tail wing, the stability and accuracy have been greatly improved."

Wang Sanshan nodded repeatedly and praised: "So that's it. I have gained some knowledge."

The arsenal mainly produces ammunition and repairs of firearms and weapons. In addition, rockets and bronze heavy force can basically meet the needs of the war in Bangkok and Myanmar.

This is mainly because of the terrain of Myanmar, the inconvenience of transportation of heavy artillery and its role is limited.

With rockets and heavy force, the range is far superior to that of the Burmese, and long-range bombing is a slam; the firepower in the middle and close range is mainly the fire of the Fran cannon and the flintlock rifle.

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

After Wang Sanshan's visit and inspection, he walked out of the heavily guarded arsenal. He remembered something and asked the officials next to him: "We must speed up the mobilization of horses from Sichuan and Yunnan."

"Don't worry, sir." The official bowed and said, "The number can only exceed the amount, and it will not be short."

Sichuan and Yunnan horses are short and not good at charging, but they are strong in endurance, can carry weights, and walk complex roads or mountain roads, which is most suitable.

The strength of firepower depends on the supply of ammunition. The battle is about logistics. This purpose has been paid more and more attention by the Ming army.

As for food and grass and other materials, the principle of the Battle of Myanmar was to obtain it on the spot, that is, to support the war. This greatly reduced the logistics pressure of the Ming army.

It was already a clear and cool season for autumn, and the grain from Burmese land was about to be harvested, which happened to be prepared for the Ming army.

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

Some things can be said in public, such as the Ministry of War’s writings; some are not suitable for public disclosure, and they are secret memorial systems.

Wang Sanshan took out the code book, finished the translation of the secret order, stroked his beard and thought for a while, and spoke and ordered people to ask the generals to come and discuss matters.

When it comes to attacking Myanmar, the emperor originally had the purpose of eroding. He had only fought at the city of Ava before, forcing the Burmese king to sign unequal treaties and obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

But now, the emperor's determination has changed. In the secret decree, he asked Wang Sanshan whether he could take down the city of Ava in one go. As for the Burmese King, the emperor didn't care.

As a royal city, the royal family should have a lot of wealth, with only a lot of more and less than the royal family in Champa.

In the past, the emperor was worried that it would be easy to occupy too much land, which would easily lead to indigestion and involve and consume the power of the Ming army. However, the idea had changed and the possible resistance of the Burmese people in the occupied areas could be minimized.

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

The Maritime Merchants Association has offered a price. The male prisoners of war in the middle age are twenty yuan, the female prisoners of war in the middle age are fifteen yuan, and the older or younger ones are ten yuan; if the worse ones are, the base is five yuan.

This is just the superficial price, and the cost of transporting prisoners of war, and the Maritime Merchants Association also bears all the costs.

The proposal of the Maritime Merchants Association made the emperor suddenly realize, and new ideas and new methods came into being.

Selling the Burmese people in the occupied areas to the Maritime Merchants Association will not only make money, but also minimize possible resistance in the occupied areas.

The development of Mekong Province also requires population, but as an official institution, it cannot be used such explicit means. At least it cannot be obtained openly and secretly transporting population to Mekong Province.

The Burmese people moved to Mekong Province or Borneo, and the Vietnamese and other indigenous peoples in Mekong Province can move to Borneo...
