Wu Sangui led his troops to withdraw to Yangon, and the situation became more and more passive for the Zhou state.At this time, he could no longer carry out the strategy of storming the Ming camp and making a detour to raid Mawlamyine.Now more than 100,000 troops, in Yangon City, just watching the Ming army, continue to make progress in northern Myanmar and Mawlamyine.At this time, Wu Sangui continued to stay in Yangon, and after the military port of the Ming army was repaired and the highway was completed, what was waiting for him was bound to be a vicious battle in which the Ming army had the advantage.If it continues to withdraw from Yangon and return to Zhou, Zhou will lose the barrier of Donghu, and the next war of the Ming Dynasty will be within the territory of Zhou.In the camp of the Zhou army in Yangon, Wu Sangui was worried, and many generals of the Zhou army also had gloomy faces.At this time, Hong Chengchou stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is another way now!"
”Wu Sangui asked, "What way?"
”"Zhao Zamao built a military port and a highway for the purpose of increasing the strength of the Ming army in Donghu."
Hong Chengchou said in a deep voice: "If Da Zhou can't lose the barrier of Donghu, then the only way to do this is to continue to send elite troops over, strengthen the strength of Yangon, and wait for Zhao Zamao to come to the decisive battle." ”Soon after the founding of the Zhou State, a large number of elite troops were still needed to control the country, and if it continued to increase its troops, it would undoubtedly weaken the strength of the country.This victory, it's good to say, if it is defeated, then Da Zhou may fall apart.This made Wu Sangui fall into deep thought, and while Wu Sangui was in a dilemma, Zhao Ming continued to wait in Bagu.As the time entered September, the weather in Donghu finally gradually cooled, and the climate was no longer so unbearable as it was in July and August.In the Boge camp, 20,000 Ming troops and 10,000 feudal soldiers resumed training in the camp, and the soldiers shouted trumpets, rehearsed queues and muskets, and their morale was rapidly recovering.But Zhao Ming is still patiently waiting, he is waiting for the news that the northern Myanmar highway will be opened and that sea reinforcements will arrive in Mawlamyine.Early in the morning, on the bank of the Xidang River, Zhao Ming stood on a hill and stared at the golden undulating rice fields.Donghu country is located in the tropics, with abundant sunshine and abundant precipitation, and it is a blessed land that grows what you plant.If it is intensively cultivated, the output of Donggu's waterways will definitely be able to surpass that of the South Seas.When Zhao Ming led the army and confronted Wu Sangui, he attached great importance to restoring Dongxu's production.At this time, looking at a large area of undeveloped land, Zhao Ming said to Jin Shenghuan: "Huchen!
When you defeat Wu Sangui and destroy Bai Mang, the widow will support you as the king of Burma.What do you think of the place that the widow gave you?
”In the domestic political struggle, although Jin Shenghuan is a member of the Longwu family, he has stood on Zhao Ming's side several times, and Zhao Ming reciprocated by giving him the land of Burma, which can be said to be very worthy of Lao Jin.After being in Donghu for so long, Jin Shenghuan has already understood the situation in Donghu and knows that it is not bad here.This place, except for a little damp and hot, has no other shortcomings, and most of the people are also related to many young people in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, which is a nation with a high degree of education."
The regent chose this place for the ministers, and the ministers are very satisfied, which is stronger than the fiefs of Li Chengdong and Zheng Chenggong!"
Jin Shenghuan said gratefully.Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "It's good that you know this!"
”The two talked as they observed the land on both sides of the Siddang River.Zhao Ming pointed to a large area with a horsewhip and said in a deep voice: "Seeing that area is not there, as long as water conservancy is built and rivers are dredged, at least one million acres of fields can be developed." ”Jin Shenghuan said: "After the minister became a vassal, he learned to be a regent, engaged in construction in the feudal country, built water conservancy, and strived to make Donghu the granary of the Ming Dynasty." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, his current goal, in addition to making the Ming Dynasty great again and becoming the center of the world, also has a small goal, that is, he hopes that the people under his rule can have food to eat and gradually eliminate the famine.At this time, the two were talking, and more than a dozen cavalrymen galloped over, and the cavalry led by the cavalry bowed down on their horses and said: "Qiqi regent, the king of Yanping has an urgent letter to deliver!"
”Zhao Ming frowned when he heard this, guessing that it should be that the ship had completed the repair, or that the reinforcements transferred from Daming had arrived."
What about faith?"
Zhao Ming hurriedly asked.The cavalry hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and presented the letter to Zhao Ming."
Regent, is the navy ready!"
Jin Shenghuan asked.Zhao Ming read the letter and bowed his head with a smile: "Not bad!"
Ships have been repaired, and warships requisitioned from the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the South China Sea have also arrived in Mawlamyine. ”When Jin Shenghuan heard this, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "This is really good!
In order to wait for them, the brothers were almost moldy. ”Zhao Ming smiled and said: "The widow sees that you can't wait to be the king of Burma!"
”"The regent has wronged the minister, well, the minister confesses, the minister really can't wait."
Jin Shenghuan said.Zhao Ming put the letter away, "Widow, this is the fulfillment of your wish."
Pass the order down, let the king of Yanping reorganize the fleet, and then go straight to Yangon, and then order the army, ready to pull out the camp!
”When the Ming army built a military port and opened up the highway in northern Burma, Wu Sangui did not sit idly by, but continued to mobilize elite soldiers from the Zhou State to come to Yangon to prepare to resist Zhao Ming's attack.At this time, the coalition army in Yangon had as many as 150,000 people, and there were still ships every day, transporting boatloads of soldiers and military supplies here.At this time, off the coast of Rangoon, two British warships, escorting the three cargo ships, sailed in the direction of Rangoon.Suddenly, on the lookout of the British battleship, the sailor in charge of the lookout shouted: "Not good!
Enemy ships are coming!
”Since the last Battle of Rangoon, the Ming warships have been withdrawn to Mawlamyine for repair, and they have not appeared in the waters of Rangoon for half a year.However, in the last naval battle, the strength of the Ming army gave the British army a great shock, so the British ships sailed at sea, at least two of them went together, so as not to collide with the Ming fleet.At this time, the non-commissioned officers and sailors on the British ship, hearing the warning from Wangdou, rushed to the side of the ship to look, but did not see the Ming fleet.Eric, the captain of the British warship, walked up to the ship's building, took out a clairvoyant mirror, and put it in front of his eyes to watch.He followed the direction indicated by the water finger, searched the sea surface with a clairvoyant mirror for a while, and finally found the Ming Dynasty warship riding the wind and waves on the sea.One, two, three, Eric moved the camera and frowned.The circular field of view of the clairvoyant mirror is relatively narrow, and it is impossible to see the entire sea area at once, and Eric can't help but put down the clairvoyance and see it with the naked eye."
Buy Ga!"
Eric's eyes instantly bulged with shock, and he was stunned to find that there were not only three warships at all, but more than thirty black spots.For a moment, Eric was stunned, he reacted, and immediately roared to the deck, "Quick!
Fast!
Fast!
Turn the sails now, swing the rudder now, and get out of here. ”()
