In the city of Ava, Li Ermao walked on the 'street', and the stalls on both sides that began to flourish because of the arrival of the Ming army were soliciting men and women in broken Chinese.
"Good Qidi!
Change!
” In the oil pan, the blackened oil is still frying the fish and shrimp, as well as the rice balls.
This is a high-end goods, and the locals can't afford to eat it, that is, the Ming army has money and a large number of people, and often comes to sweep it up.
More than a dozen ivory tusks were placed on the mud floor, and an old woman sat on the side, and when she saw Li Ermao wearing a green shirt, she grinned and greeted her in the local dialect.
Li Ermao shook his head, during the last southern expedition, Fang Xing brought home dozens of ivory, which are still left in the warehouse to collect dust.
The so-called streets are not as clean as those of a county town in Daming, all of them are uncompacted dirt roads, and once it rains, this is a mud pond.
Most of the houses on both sides are thatched huts, surrounded by bamboo mats, which are the only things that can be seen, and a fire can turn these houses into torches.
The weather was hot, and the merchants were not in good spirits, so they all hid in their houses.
The original residence of King Ava became the headquarters of the Ming army, and Li Ermao nodded at the sergeant guarding the door and went in.
"What do you mean over there?
If the messenger doesn't come, if he doesn't fight, what do you want to do?
Is this an iron heart to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty?
” The spacious Buddhist hall was turned into a temporary meeting place, and when Li Ermao arrived, Fang Zheng was spraying wildly.
"Shang Qi, what are they going to do?"
Li Ermao sat down on the side and nodded with several generals.
Shang Qi is familiar with the southwest direction and has some research on Myanmar, so he is very relied on by Fang Zheng.
"My lord, the lower official thinks that Rasaduri will not give in."
"Why?"
"Because of the mountains and forests!"
There was a map on the table, and Shang Qi pointed to Bagu and said, "If we take the initiative to attack, they only need to drill into the forest and come back."
The second is the sneak attack, judging from the past methods of the Burmese, their favorite is the sneak attack, and give us a surprise. ” Fang Zheng's gaze turned and said, "Raid, this is a problem.
What's next?
” Fang Zheng's army is only responsible for attacking, and there will be an army entering Burma in the future to take over the task of guarding law and order.
Shang Qi said: "It's almost, according to the distance, at most half a month." ” Fang Zheng's face was slightly pale, "If you arrive late, the military law is ruthless!"
” "No, we've cleaned up all the way, and the weather is good, so it won't affect the march."
"Li Ermao, tell me what you think about the current situation."
Fang Zheng sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Li Ermao got up and walked to the table and said, "My lord, Ava was defeated by us with one blow, in addition to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, there is another reason, that is, they have been fighting with Bagu for more than 30 years, and the population of both sides has been lost too much. ” "Xiaguan recently walked around and found that the ripe fields in many places have been abandoned and no one has planted them, what does this mean?
It shows that there are fewer men, even if the Ming Dynasty doesn't fight, they themselves have to stop fighting!
” "What do you want to say?"
Everyone knows this truth, Fang Zheng feels that Li Ermao is a rotten problem of literati - selling guanzi has attacked.
Li Ermao drew a circle with his fingers in the void on the place representing Myanmar, and said: "The people are at ease, this is the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty, we just need to stay put, and Bagu will be embarrassed." ” Fang Ze pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "You kid, we're talking about how to fight Bagu, it's good for you, you have already thought of how to govern here, let's say, it's idle anyway." ” Shang Qi was a little curious about Li Ermao, this person was young, and according to people along the way, he was still chopping wood for a living a few years ago to support himself and his mother.
As a result, the blessed star fell from the sky, and he was actually admitted to Zhixing Academy by Fang Xing, and then it was out of control, and it is said that his current official body was ordered by Zhu Di himself.
After a few years of hard work, this person has been reborn, it seems that Xing Hebo has more cultural and educational power than when he was in the southern expedition, and it is difficult to say about the future development!
"My lord, this is not just governance, this is true of Ava, and it must be the same with Bagu.
That is to say, Bagu was in a difficult situation at this time, and they were afraid that Daming would fight over, so they hesitated, and the lower officials thought that they must be lucky, and they still used the old way to gamble. ” "Sneak attack?
Well!
” Fang Zheng got up and said: "This official also thinks the same way, go, let the brothers move, inspect the city wall, and also, send out those who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and get the reward of the exact news, okay, let's go." ” "You wait."
Fang Zheng stopped Li Ermao, and after everyone left, he said: "The latest news, His Highness and Xing Hebo went to the sea to Xuanwei and destroyed Java. ” When Li Ermao heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Then Siam must be panicking." ” "That's right!
Their envoy had arrived, but they were not seen by the official, so they went to the capital and the Ministry of Rites to pull them away. ” "Burma, Siam is attacked before and after, once the Ming Dynasty makes a move, Zhenla will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage, they are not panicked."
"Siam is not small, the people are fierce, Your Majesty means that it is best to surrender without a fight, and then make plans after the expansion of the Ming fleet in the future."
This is to advance by land and water, and if Siam is not interesting, it will probably be dangerous.
Li Ermao remembered Fang Xing's previous analysis, and said: "My lord, Siam is not easy to attack, if they don't surrender, then isolate it, and they can also provoke internal strife." ” Fang Zheng looked at the map and said: "This is not something we can decide, but your idea is good, since you have defeated Ava, then appease."

Do you have any suggestions?
” "Trade!"
Li Ermao said: "This side is rich in gems, there are some good wood, there is a lot of gold and silver, the Ming can dredge the trade route, transport some cloth and things they don't have to sell, they have money, so they live, after slowly developing, they will rely on the trade ...... the Ming" Li Ermao hesitated for a moment, and finally said his idea: "For example, our potato production is large, we can make vermicelli and powder and ship it here to sell, which is cheaper, so that the people can feel that it is not beneficial to grow grain, and they will ...... it later."
"If they turn their faces in the future, Da Ming will pinch the business road, and they will be hungry!"
Fang Zheng got up and patted Li Ermao on the shoulder and said: "Sure enough, it is a famous teacher who is a master apprentice, although the scheme is a little vicious, but I like it, you go and get a jar of wine yourself as a reward." ” Li Ermao bowed and retreated, and the eunuch of the prison army came in and said: "This son is really talented, no wonder Xing Hebo dares to release him, let's see!"
He's so much better than that Masu. ” The relationship between Fang Zheng and this prison soldier is okay, and when he heard this, he said: "Li Ermao grew up with hardships, and he has no fame, so if you want to come ahead, you must have merit, and this is the main reason." ” "As for Ma Su, that is Fang Xing's eldest disciple, he is afraid that he will be plotted by others when he releases it, and the impact will be too great."
"Oh!
I heard that those literati and Xing and Bo have been hostile to each other, so we should be cautious. ” After gossiping, Fang Zheng discussed: "The grain and grass in the army have to be transported from Yunnan, although we have captured the granary, it is not enough, the official is ready to let the soldiers farm in their spare time, what does the supervising army think?"
” "Good thing!
The climate here is good, we have more here, and the Ming Dynasty will transport less.
Ay!
The loss of grain transported along the way is amazing!
If there are no potatoes, this battle will have to worry about the household!
