As the vanguard of the Second Army, Ma Xianglin was the first to come into contact with the Burmese Army.
The terrain in northern Myanmar is very complex, with dense virgin jungles and complex mountainous areas.
The Myanmar Army wants to take advantage of the geographical advantage to resist the Second Army's attack.
The Second Army and the Burmese Army fought in the mountains and jungles.
In this kind of terrain, large armies cannot operate and can only be dispersed into small groups to fight.
The Burmese army also deliberately chose this battlefield to offset their disadvantage of insufficient firepower.
The Second Army successfully defeated the Burmese Army in small-scale combat.
The Royal Army of Great China trains every day and has more advanced weapons.
Pistols, shotguns, grenades and other weapons used in jungle and mountain warfare cannot be blocked by the Burmese army who use bows and arrows.
In the small-scale war in the jungle, the Burmese army was no match for them and suffered huge casualties.
For example, the generals trusted by King Thalong, the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army and the deployment of defenses in various places.
The Burmese army took prisoners and completed their mission at the cost of huge casualties.
At the same time, hot air balloons were sent to interfere with the artillery on the city.
The engineers carried explosive bags, mixed in with the Burmese prisoners, and began to approach the city gate.
Local officials will not screen carefully, and their merits will be calculated on a per-capita basis.
And after rigorous training, they are not inferior to other main battle units of the Royal Army of China in large-scale operations.
Su Shan is not surprised, as the Yunnan-Guizhou region has developed rapidly in recent years.
He also served as a high-ranking official in the Toungoo Dynasty for decades and had great influence in the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar.
Even if something goes wrong, it will not cause too many casualties to the Sixth Army."
As Gushan listened to these terms, sweat kept flowing down his temples.
The Second Army's attack on the Burmese Army was like a well-equipped army attacking unarmed farmers.
He speaks fluent Northern Chinese Mandarin and speaks very clearly.
Zhu Shi Yuan Qingpeng pointed to the rear of the army, where there were about 10,000 Burmese prisoners.
He looked at the Burmese army, which mainly relied on spears and bows, with only a small number of matchlocks and artillery.
These are the Burmese soldiers they encountered on the road.
Yuan Qingpeng nodded and said: "After capturing Burma, these prisoners are very good laborers.
…………………………
Let them fill in the moat of Ava City and consume the cannonballs on the city.
There are many things that I don’t know much about Myanmar’s officialdom and power.
With a guide leading the way, you won't get lost.
If we continue to delay, we will wait until all forces in Myanmar reach cooperation and jointly send troops to serve the king.
The Great Hua Dynasty allowed chieftains to attach themselves to the country, but these chieftains had to implement the process of returning to their native land.
It was during that time that I learned northern Mandarin.
After the Sixth Army dismissed the prisoners, its marching speed became faster.
Only then did he understand that the Taungoo dynasty in Myanmar had not been unified for long.
The remaining stubborn forces have no way to turn things around."
The Second Army conquered the city and occupied the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar without a single enemy.
With this achievement, the Sixth Army will be able to feel proud in the entire army from now on.
The Sixth Army quickly swept away the resisting enemies in the city, captured the palace and captured King Thalong.
After several battles, they captured more than 30,000 Burmese soldiers near Ava City and the Burmese soldiers who rushed out of Ava City.
He left two divisions to defend Burma.
The Sixth Army of the Royal Army of China has surrounded the capital of Myanmar, Ava.
It is simply impossible to use tunnel attacks.
The chieftains in northern Myanmar have a better understanding of Dahua's situation and strength.
As long as the city gate can be blown open, the casualties during the charge will not be too great."
January 21, 4338 (AD 1641).
I learned about the prosperity of the Central Plains and always wanted to join the Central Plains."
Zhu Qiansheng looked at the Burmese prisoners, his eyes lit up, and he said: "The groundwater here in Myanmar is too shallow. If you dig a little with a shovel, water will come out of the ground.
This war has shattered the confidence of these Burmese troops. Facing our army, they probably don’t even have the courage to carry a knife."
When the local forces in Myanmar see the power of the Celestial Kingdom, they will definitely choose to surrender.
These prisoners are all a drag.
Even King Thalung summoned the entire Burmese army to serve the king.
Meng Gong, Mubang, Menggen, Zhengmai and other chieftains in northern Myanmar contacted our army and wanted to join us.
The prestige of the Toungoo dynasty's royal family plummeted.
When Su Pengfei heard this tactic, his eyes lit up and he volunteered: "Qihou, the Second Army is scattered throughout the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar.
Su Pengfei sat on his horse and watched the Sixth Army form a pair of long columns and march quickly towards Ava City.
The resistance in various areas of Myanmar weakened sharply. Qihou Sushan commanded the army and soon controlled the entire territory of Myanmar.
"Pengfei, what do you think of the prisoners captured by our army?"
Sushan spoke in a gentle tone and asked Gushan to learn about the situation in Myanmar.
Before the imperial court officially ruled Burma and the chieftains returned to their native land.
The equipment of these Burmese soldiers is very shabby. Many soldiers do not even have a pair of armor and can only use the cheapest spears.
Then no one can unite all forces in Myanmar to resist the rule of Dahua.
According to what you Han people say, to capture the thief, capture the king first and go straight to Huanglong.
Qihou Sushan sent troops to manage the chieftains, received private soldiers from the chieftains, and recruited translators and guides from the chieftains.
In order to reduce casualties, we can only cooperate with the main force and occupy Myanmar through the tactics of gradual encroachment."
The Second Army is too scattered and has no hope of obtaining this mission.
Chai Jin, commander of the Second Army, came to the commander's tent and reported to Qihou Su Shanhui: "Qihou, our army has broken through the Burmese army's defense and occupied the northern part of Myanmar.
The capital of Myanmar was captured and the king of Myanmar was captured alive.
They exchanged a few simple greetings and immediately entered the negotiation stage.
As long as they can capture Ava City in a short period of time, they will definitely be the first army to achieve their goal.
When they saw Dahua sending troops to Burma, these people knew that they had no ability to resist, so they immediately moved in and surrounded them. Su Shan was not surprised at all.
The main purpose is to plunder the population and open up the market.
"I was old fifty years ago, during the Ming Dynasty.
It would be a real pity to kill him all at once.
The chieftain's private soldiers must be dispatched by the Dahua military.
As long as the Royal Army of Great Hua attacks fast enough, it can break through Ava City before King Thalong reaches cooperation with various forces.
Chai Jin supported: "The general also believes that this tactic is very feasible.
After King Thalong came to power through a coup, he reluctantly united various forces in Myanmar.
The city gate is blocked, and it is also the weakest point of the city wall.
This is also the reason why he, as a representative, came to meet with the superior officials of the Celestial Dynasty.
Su Pengfei looked at Chief of Staff Zhu Qiansheng and asked: "Chief of Staff, our army does not carry heavy weapons. Even if Ava City is a city with not very high walls, we have no way to break through it in a short time.
An old man with a white beard, holding a cane and being supported by others, was waiting outside the handsome tent.
Su Shan said politely: "Old sir, please stand up. Your Chinese is very standard.
Many of the chieftains in Dahua and Myanmar are from the same tribe, and their languages and cultural customs are similar.
It was night in a blink of an eye.
The Taungoo dynasty's rule was also unstable during this period, and it experienced many internal coups.
He immediately went to the telegraph room and reported the results of the battle via wired telegram. At the same time, he asked Emperor Su He and the imperial court for advice on the relevant policies enclosed by the chieftain.
Let the Sixth Army march directly to Huanglong, break through the city of Ava, and destroy the capital of Myanmar. King Thalong tried his best to capture him alive, but he did not care about life or death, leaving the Myanmar army leaderless.
These officials were eager to educate as many chieftains as possible.
Facing the wolf-like Sixth Army, the Burmese army was able to resist with the city walls before, but after the city was broken, it was completely unable to resist.
They were easily defeated by the Sixth Army. Many Burmese soldiers fled, but more than half were captured by them.
If you don't agree to these terms, the Chinese army will wipe out all the chieftains.
The Sixth Army did not carry heavy weapons, so it would be difficult to break through Ava City in a short time without suffering too many casualties.
Zhu Qiansheng looked at Ava City, which was about the same size as a domestic city.
By agreeing to these terms, they will lose most of their rights.
It is a matter of life and death for several chieftains, and there must be someone who can calm the situation and gain everyone's trust to represent them.
After unification, they invaded Siam and returned with a huge defeat.
After introducing the situation in Myanmar, he suggested: "Shangguang of the Celestial Empire, there is no need for you to settle in northern Myanmar.
The chieftain is the king of the mountain, and the situation in which he controls the life and death of his people must be broken.
After breaking through the city of Ava and capturing King Thalung, most of the other local forces in Myanmar would choose to surrender.
Many of the Third Division of the Second Army under his command were from the chieftain tribe and were good at mountain and jungle warfare.
His Majesty the Emperor wants the people in the country to live a good life, so the costs incurred by industrialization must be passed on to foreigners.
…………………………
Many soldiers had their feet blistered and ulcerated due to leather boots covering their feet, so they put on cloth shoes and straw sandals.
They can understand the movements of other armies through wired telegrams, and Wei Guogong Su Hu has not yet launched a war.
I will not be able to make the final decision on this matter, so please ask Qihou to take charge of this matter."
The artillery only carries mortars, and its main weapons are grenades and rifles.
The general also has the confidence to lead the army back safely."
It is best if this person can also speak Chinese proficiently and rely on translation to communicate. Once the translation makes a mistake, they will suffer disaster.
…………………………
He led his troops to set out on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when other armies were celebrating the New Year.
He also held a military meeting to discuss with the generals the feasibility of attacking Huanglong directly.
Given the current situation, the only option is to dismiss them."
The soldiers' calves were tied tightly with leggings and they could march at least fifty miles every day.
Gushan was helped to stand up. He walked towards the handsome tent with a cane on his back, his eyes showing memories.
Let’s go to the account to discuss things.”
The local forces in Myanmar were extremely strong, and it was difficult for King Thalung to command them.
The Sixth Army immediately launched a charge and invaded the city of Ava.
Gu Shan weighed the pros and cons in his mind, thinking that many of the chieftains in Dahua who had returned to their native land were living well.
Ma Xianglin led his men to fight their way out of the jungle and mountains. They encountered the main force of the Burmese army in the hilly areas of northern Myanmar.
After Ma Xianglin conducted a test with artillery fire, he ordered the army to attack.
He bent down and bowed, and said respectfully: "The superior officials of the Celestial Empire and the chieftains of the small people agree to the terms of the Celestial Empire."
Our army has been in the Chinese military camp, and now its morale is as good as a rainbow. The city of Awa is in the north of Myanmar, not far from the military camp.
The moat was filled in, and Su Pengfei commanded the prisoners to attack the city in traditional ways, in order to attract the attention of the defenders.
Su Pengfei frowned and said, "We have to rush to Ava City as quickly as possible.
Disarm them and send them away.
Su Pengfei has been preparing since taking over the mission, and the Sixth Army abandoned all heavy weapons.
The guard quickly brought over a chair and asked Gushan to sit down.
When Chai Jin heard this tactic, he also felt that there was hope. He could break through Ava as quickly as possible, and they would have enough time to expand their results.
Su Shan had an absolute advantage. Gu Shan could only agree to the conditions he proposed and had no right to refuse.
But we can use these Burmese military prisoners.
Travel to various places to get their own land, or work in factories to make money.
At least it is faster than the Qinwang troops assembled in various places by the Burmese army.
Su Shan ordered: "Let them send representatives to the military camp to negotiate with me."
In the early days, Dahua only collected main military intelligence about Myanmar.
These Burmese troops are not elite soldiers and will collapse if they are killed in battle.
All four walls were attacked at the same time, with the east facing the smoothest progress.
In addition to cutting off potential surrounding forces, the imperial court sent troops this time.
When Su Pengfei heard this idea, he added: "We carry several hot-air balloons, and we can use the hot-air balloons to drop cluster grenades to interfere with the artillery on the walls of Ava."
They carried enough supplies and did not need to take care of logistical supplies. Their marching speed had already broken the record of the Royal Army of China.
After Su Shan read the telegram replied by Emperor Su He, he went to the commander's tent to meet with the chieftain representative.
The tribesmen of the chieftain tribes near Dahua would pretend to be the local chieftains of Dahua.
Gushan heard Sushan's question. He had been an official in the Toungoo Dynasty of Myanmar for decades and knew the situation in Myanmar very well.
After they discussed their tactics, they immediately took action.
After Su Shan heard this, he immediately ordered: "Give me a seat and I will talk with the old gentleman in detail."
Su Shan asked Gu Shan in detail about the specific reasons.
Follow the tribute team and go to the capital to stay for a while.
Ma Xianglin saw the army win, but he didn't have much sense of accomplishment.
Domestic development of industry requires a large amount of raw materials, workers and markets.
Myanmar has a good relationship with the Portuguese, and there are more red cannons on the city of Ava.
The engineers buried explosives under the city gate and detonated the explosives after retreating.
Our engineers used explosives to blow open the gate of Ava.
Qihou Sushan understood the opinions of the generals and after weighing the pros and cons of combat, he issued a combat mission.
Su Shan dispatched the Sixth Army to march eastward into Siam. He dispatched the Second Army to expand his power to the west.
In the preparation stage for the siege, the soldiers served as a supervisory team and allowed Burmese prisoners to fill in the moat.
The general will finally be confident that he will be able to defeat the city of Ava in a short period of time.
Zhu Qiansheng knew what Su Pengfei meant. According to his itinerary, Min Guogong Zhang Yuliang had not yet reached Nanyang.
When he saw the arrival of Qi Hou Su Shan, he immediately knelt down and saluted Su Shan and said: "The villain Gu Shan pays homage to the superior official of the Celestial Dynasty."
The government allocated land to the people, and local factories recruited a large number of workers.
The huge explosion directly blew open the closed gate of Ava City.
These are the most important clauses, and there are dozens of other clauses.
These are the costs that must be paid for industrialization.
Sushan learned from the merchants that the west of Myanmar was the Indian Peninsula that Emperor Suhe had longed for.
The princely states on the Indian peninsula next to Burma were not very strong, so he wanted to explore the way.
With the success of the second army, Qihou Sushan can gain a lot of merit and catch up with other princes.
Even if he fails, as long as the Second Army does not suffer too many casualties, it will not affect his meritorious service.
