When it comes to war, Baiminghe is not a professional general.
Moreover, this kind of small expansion war does not require Bai Minghe. After the Chinese Ministry of War was truly mobilized, coupled with the newly established Wuying Hall similar to the General Staff, the war ability has reached an extreme, that is, Yu Qian would often ask Wuying Hall for some questions about strategic direction.
After all, war is not a game.
Wuying Palace will calculate in detail the feasibility of war, logistics supplies, and various strategic issues.
After the war in northern Myanmar ended, Yu Qian sent a telegram to Bai Minghe: "You have already obtained the sea outlet you want, please arrange it yourself. In principle, Wenhua Hall agreed to the railway construction plan, but it is estimated that construction will not start within three years. This is part of the ten-year plan."
Bai Minghe received a telegram and was preparing to check out the sea outlet. Strategically, it was very important. The ship was about to go to sea, but he received another telegram. Xie Xinyi, the daughter of the Xie family, arrived.
According to Wan Xueer's plan, Ashikari Chixue took her men to Ceylon.
There are two passenger ships escorted, and one cargo ship.
When these ships arrived in Ceylon, they did not let them enter the port, but asked them to wait on the sea, because the fleet of Baiminghe was about to set off, and the target was a port that had just been controlled by China. It had not been ordered yet. There were only bays and very small piers there, which could barely dock the 500-stock boat.
But Bai Minghe still asked to go there, but the people in Ceylon did not bring them all.
Like Uesugi Eimei, she stayed, and half of Wan Xueer's subordinates, she still arranged staff to clean the house regularly. Bai Minghe said that she came back just by going to see it, but brought all her family with her. Of course, Xiaohui and several other children were stayed. The reason was that Xiaohui needed to learn.
Sitting on the passenger ship, Bai Minghe looked at the two passenger ships and a cargo ship from a distance and asked, "How many people have come?"
"Not many, the Xie family has only twenty-four people, and some servants and guards are all ours. Fourteen people came to the Ashikaga family, and there are only about twenty stones of fruit on the cargo ship."
Bai Minghe didn't understand: "A boat can be loaded, why did so many ships work?"
"One, the person from the Xie family said explicitly that he did not want the Japanese to dirty her ship. So he was not allowed to take the same boat with her. When he went out from Nanjing, the reason the people on the dock gave the Japanese was that there were too many cargoes on the ship. Unexpectedly, someone would take a boat. It was always inconvenient to clean it up, so he sent another one and loaded a lot of cargo. Anyway, Ceylon was regarded as a business."
"Okay, very good!"
After listening to Wan Xueer's explanation, Bai Minghe was speechless. The daughter of the Xie family still had a tough personality.
"Also, in addition to fruits, the Oda family sent another merchant, who nominally planned to purchase some tea from Ceylon and went back, but in fact, they didn't want the fruit they sent to be with Ashikaga. There was no reason."
"I like this, that's right." Bai Minghe responded with a smile.
Wan Xueer asked again: "Do you want Miss Xie to get on the boat?"
"Okay. Let her take four people on the boat, and the rest go back to Ceylon first. Find someone to arrange the people she brought, and then..." Before Bai Minghe could say anything, she saw an arrow at another boat on a boat. Bai Minghe pointed: "What's this happening?"
Wan Xueer's men immediately went to inquire, but the daughter of the Xie family shot an arrow at the Japanese ship that was too close to her. The arrow was not very powerful. She just shot an arrow and landed in the sea.
"Young master, it's better to let all the Japanese stay."
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid they'll do something here." Bai Minghe didn't actually want to take Nishiki to come.
Wan Xueer didn't care: "What else can they do? Have they burned the house? The people who were trained in the Forbidden Palace have returned. With them here, it just happened to let these cruel and ruthless women fight by themselves. Is the victory or defeat related to us?"
"Okay, I'll go and arrange it myself." Bai Minghe turned around and walked into the boat warehouse.
Niba Hide was watching the window and saw the arrow.
But she didn't understand what was going on, why would anyone shoot that arrow? It was definitely not attack or being attacked.
Just as he was thinking, Bai Minghe came in: "Ah Xiu, there is something that may be wronged. He originally said that he would take you north to see Xingang, after all, the war over there has been over. I must go and check out military affairs. Ashikari Chixue came over. Xie Xinyi from the Xie family didn't know what conflicts had with them, so she shot an arrow on the other party's boat just now."
Xie Xinyi, Nishihide Nishi naturally knew who it was.
She likes this contradiction. It is a good thing that the famous woman around Bai Minghe will not deal with Ashikaga's family.
At least for the Oda family, it is a very good thing.
Bai Minghe said again: "The one from the Xie family just arrived, so naturally they couldn't stay in Ceylon and ignore it. But it was impossible to bring them all, so they had to stay one side. But I was not at ease to leave Ashikari Chiyuki. After all, Uesugi Eimei is here, so she is afraid of any conflict. You know what I mean."
"I understand, I'm willing to stay. At least I can guarantee that there will be no open conflict and no loss of adult face."
Niba Hide was eager to stay, leaving behind a merchant who came from the Oda family here. He could contact his family in the name of a merchant and had many spaces for activities.
Before, Bai Minghe wanted to take them north, but Uesugi Huangmei stayed behind because of the excuse of being uncomfortable, so she didn't dare to speak anymore.
It just so happened that Bai Minghe was very popular with them these days, so Ninoha Xiu didn't dare to say that she stayed.
"That's wronged you. I originally said that there are any interesting products over there, so I can see it fresh."
"It is my honor to do things for the adults." Danwu Hide answered immediately.
Niba Xiu stayed, and all the Japanese were left behind. What surprised Bai Minghe was that Xie Xinyi did not get on his ship, but instead boarded the Sagala Dragon King. There was no choice but to let Wang Yuyan go over to accompany her. This girl did not even get close to the boat where Bai Minghe was, but only asked someone to bring a handwritten book.
After seeing it, Bai Minghe handed it to Wan Xueer.
"It's a strong woman, no wonder she's waiting for you even if she doesn't get married. After the ship reaches the port in the north, it needs to be cleaned, otherwise she won't get on the ship. Why don't you go to the Sagala Dragon King too?"
"If you don't go, I'm so embarrassed." Bai Minghe smiled and grabbed the letter back and stuffed it in his arms.
Wan Xueer smiled and said nothing, and ordered someone to prepare to drive the boat.
A few days later, the ship arrived at a port, and Bai Minghe just stood at the bow and took a look, then drew a picture. He had a suggestion for the planning here, and the specific construction also required the hard work of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works.
"Change a small boat and go north along the river." Bai Minghe ordered.
Everything has been arranged here long ago.
Moreover, the person who came was a very familiar person with Bai Minghe, Mao Wenhu.
"Mr. Bai, according to your requirements, all the soldiers selected this time have made great contributions. When the war was halfway through, they were transferred from each army. All of them were elite soldiers. Moreover, the three generations of military service were absolutely reliable, and they were all handymen, and logistics were carefully selected. Everyone had made great contributions."
"General Mao, please continue to do this. This time it is a coolie job, so let them not complain. I, Baiminghe, will not treat them badly. Some things are done by peddlers and slaves in each port. This time, they have to do it. If you want to complain, come to me, but you must obey the orders."
Mao Wenhu smiled: "Mr. Bai, please feel free. Who dares to say that you have treated you badly?"
"I dare not know the specific location, so I have to take some time. So I have to lead the way for food and wait for three to five months, and also arrange a first-class scout and the best messenger candidate. I may ask for reinforcements in the middle, but it is definitely not a war."
"As you tell me."
They are all the most elite soldiers, and Bai Minghe believes that they are very reliable.
When changing boats, all the oars are small boats of four hundred materials. Even the oars are elite soldiers, and everyone is a person who remembers a lot of merits.
Military orders are like mountains, no explanation or reason is needed.
The big ship did not let him go back, so he found a natural safe haven to stop. It was at the position of Shalian in later generations. The paddle boats went upstream along the river. The elite troops of ten thousand people, together with the various logistics supplies needed, formed a fleet of more than 60 ships, and went upstream for two thousand miles.
It took half a month to walk along the way.
Huaiyu has complained for the fifth time, and there is nothing on the way, except the river wasteland. Especially after ten days of walking, he didn't even see a living person.
According to modern people, the history of gambling stones in Myanmar is only about 250 years old.
In this era, it is normal that there is no one here.
When we arrived at a diversion point, Mao Wenhu asked Bai Minghe: "Sir, go there?"
"It's OK to be right, it's OK to be left. Go to the right and walk fifty miles to see." Bai Minghe stood at the bow of the boat. Not to mention this era, even in later generations, Bai Minghe still doesn't understand how to find it here. When the mining areas here have already started construction, it's not like this, but it's still a barren mountain.
Finally, Bai Minghe stopped the boat, but did not let too many people get off the boat. Instead, he took a few people off the boat and asked someone to knock on a few stones. Then Bai Minghe shook his head and signaled to leave again.
"Sir, what are you looking for? If you can't say it, I won't ask anymore." Mao Wenhu was also confused.
"In the range of 500 miles north and south and more than 300 miles east and west, there are about twenty places I need to find. The southernmost part, I remember that it should be a dry river channel north of the river, hundreds of meters, and then there are mountains. The location is about the middle of this east-west river channel."
"It's easy to deal with, come here." Mao Wenhu ordered, arranged two empty boats with food to eat, continued to move forward, then calculated the length of this section, and selected the position about the center.
It was another three days, and finally Bai Minghe stopped running around. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
