In the hall, Li Jinglong suddenly glanced at Xu Huizu and said with a smile, "If 30,000 border guards, armed to the teeth, overwhelmingly press forward, this battle can still turn into a grinding tug-of-war, and the people leading the troops can stay forever.
There’s no need to come back there!”
Hearing this, Xu Huizu's brows furrowed quietly.
Li Jinglong silently defeated his army!
This made Xu Huizu suddenly realize that if this battle could not achieve the expected results, I am afraid that his prestige in the court and the emperor's trust would be greatly reduced.
To outsiders, the use of troops against Burma seems to be the emperor's willful action, but only those who are truly familiar with the inside story understand that the real pushers for the use of troops against Burma are the young men and second-generation nobles in the army. The emperor, however, just hit it off after they hit it off.
of going with the flow.
As early as many years ago, the emperor had proposed using troops against the Annamian country in the inner circle of the Ming Dynasty. The reason given by the emperor was that these two remote small countries had better seaports than the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, they occupied these two
This place is equivalent to the establishment of two barriers outside the traditional Zhongxia land of the Ming Dynasty.
Then these two barriers can be connected to other small island countries on land or even at sea, forming an interlocking island chain that can be attacked, retreated and defended.
At first, the ministers were confused, thinking that some vulgar warrior had slandered the emperor again. However, as maritime trade has become more and more prosperous in recent years, the ministers in the DPRK have a clearer understanding of the outside world, and they understand what the emperor means.
What he said is by no means aimless.
But even so, their understanding of the ocean is still at an ignorant stage.
The main reason why Zhu Yunxi hit it off with the second generation of nobles is that Myanmar has a deep-water port.
It is not an ordinary deep-water port, but a deep-water port directly facing the Indian Ocean.
In our majestic land of Zhongxia, we did not have the concept of marine civilization until modern times. It is not that we are short-sighted, nor that we are pedantic, nor that we are imprisoned by traditional ideas.
It is the geographical location that determines that we cannot see the world outside the Central Plains.
The prototype of using troops to occupy seaports against Burma came from Zhu Yunxi's reference to the Four Ports Battle of later generations.
The four ports are Gwadar Port, Chittagong Port in Bangladesh, Kyaukpyu Port in Myanmar, and Sittwe Port in Myanmar. The transit station is Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka.
These four ports were Zhongxia's launch point for the Indian Ocean, and their strategic significance is self-evident. In addition to ships being able to go to the open sea, they could also avoid Malacca.
There is no need to say more about what this means.
In Zhu Yunxi's heart, as long as he has the ability to occupy it now and is beneficial to the plan for the next hundred years, he must take action. At any cost, it should be included in the Zhongxia civilization circle and become the inherent territory of Zhongxia.
Who thinks there are too many good things in their home?
Which father doesn’t want to earn more money for his children and grandchildren?
It’s such a simple and simple truth!
The reason why the second generation of nobles are willing to launch a war against Myanmar is that apart from the dividends of the war, they have no other way to obtain titles and meritorious service. Most of these second generations are concubines, and their titles and family fortunes have nothing to do with them.
They can go to the frontier army to gain experience, but it is easier to fight with the Tatars than to use the knife with these barbarians. They also know clearly that they are easy to pick.
Zhu Yunxi was also happy to see the results. The use of troops against Burma was just an appetizer. When the time came, Annan and other places would be a good battlefield for these second-generation nobles to show their talents.

At this time, Zhu Gaochi, the head of the civil servants, suddenly frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I still have one... doubt in my heart!"
As he spoke, he raised his head and said, "It's easy to defeat Burma with troops, but it's difficult to completely stand firm! Burma is different from Goryeo. To put it bluntly, they are a group of barbarians. Well... soldiers alone may not be able to defeat them."
Stand still for a long time!"
It must be said that Zhu Gaochi's vision is very poisonous.
Goryeo is a mature farming country. It has been influenced by Confucian orthodoxy for thousands of years. It has a legal system similar to that of the Ming Dynasty, and it is relatively easy to rule.
The country of Burma was already divided, and the kings were in charge of their own affairs, and the language was not universal, which made it more difficult to rule.
So immigration is inevitable, but when it comes to immigration, the Ming Dynasty faced another difficulty, that is, where to get the people to come?
A cut fullback?
The border guards and their families, more than 400,000 people, sounded like a lot, but Zhu Gaochi was a member of the core decision-making circle of the Ming Dynasty, and he knew that it was impossible for all 400,000 people to move to one place.
Besides, Goryeo has always needed immigrants from the Central Xia Dynasty, as well as Japan, which the emperor is eyeing, Luzon and even Ryukyu...
Every minister who truly stands in his position understands that in fact, the greatest advantage of Zhongxia civilization is not assimilation, but that Zhongxia civilization in this era represents the top productivity and the most superior culture.
Land must be owned by people.
Today's occupation of overseas foreign countries is actually exactly the same process as the large-scale southward migration and development of the southern lands of Zhongxia during the Jin, Tang and Song Dynasties in history.
It is precisely because of several large-scale southward migrations in history due to chaos or civil strife. At that time, the advanced technology and large numbers of talents from the north went south, and the current Jiangnan was developed. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, weaving, porcelain and various handicrafts were
The north was leading, but now Jiangnan has left them behind.
Now that we have to occupy so much overseas space, we are not just going to let the big boys and old ladies give up when they are tired, but we need Beijing-based management and more than one generation of management.
It can't be run without anyone.
Zhu Yunxi tapped the table with his slender fingers, also thinking about this question.
Where did you immigrate from?
Suddenly, he saw that Li Jinglong seemed to have something to say, and asked, "Does Duke Cao have any good suggestions?"
"I am stupid, I have to listen to the Holy Lord Long Live the Lord in everything! But I do have something to say, I want to ask Wei Guogong?" Li Jinglong said with a smile.
"Say it!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
And Xu Huizu frowned imperceptibly. He didn't understand, but he was also sure that Cao Guogong Li Jinglong was slightly hostile to him.
"I'd like to hear the details!" But he was still very restrained and handed over to Li Jinglong.
"I don't dare!" Li Jinglong smiled politely, "I would like to ask Duke Wei, if the 30,000 people who are sending troops to Burma this time would like to bring their families with them?"
"How can we raise our families while fighting?" Xu Huizu said, "These 30,000 people were all selected from the abolished border guards, so they can still fight..."
"It's fine if you don't bring your family with you!" Li Jinglong smiled again and looked at Zhu Yunxi, "Your Majesty, I see that it is too early to say this before we have made a full contribution to Burma. Even if our country wins a complete victory, okay?
The land of Burma also requires several years of painstaking education."
He said and smiled again, "Not to mention Burma, there are still rebellions in Korea from time to time!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi understood what Li Jinglong was going to say and said with a smile, "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush!"
Li Jinglong lowered his head and said with a smile, "Then please forgive me for my rudeness." Then he smiled and said, "These 30,000 soldiers went over. In addition to robbing money during the war, did they also want to rob women?
"
Suddenly, the civilian officials showed contempt, while the military officers' eyes lit up.
Li Jinglong, the kidnapped girl, continued to laugh, "I have led soldiers, so I naturally know the virtues of being a soldier. They won't be able to come back for a while in Myanmar, so they can't have anyone around them. Let's stand firm, no matter what, we have to do it.
Two years, in these three or two years, I’m afraid there will be litter after litter of cubs!”
"Mr. Cao Guo, please be careful what you say!" Among the civil servants, Xin Yande glared angrily, "This is above the court!"
"Haha!" The generals grinned.
"What nonsense!" Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, you mean our soldiers of the Ming Dynasty left their families to settle down there, and then kept having children?"
