Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On November 28, the 11th year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, Ding Yunyi, the Ming Dynasty's military commander, Wu Liebo, Fujian Commander-in-Chief, Hussar General, and Supreme Protector, returned to his hometown of Taiwan!

    The battle of Satsuma clan shocked Japan.  The Tiger Guards achieved this victory with almost no major losses.

    ??The Huben Guards have always maintained an attitude of not having too many soldiers but focusing on the best. But what extent their combat effectiveness has reached, even these elite soldiers themselves don¡¯t know now

    Taiwan did not give any special welcome to Ding Yunyi¡¯s triumph.  In these years of battles, everyone has become accustomed to the victory brought by Wu Liebo one after another.

    When too many victories come, people become a little numb.  Unless there is a victory that can shock the world

    Ding Yunyi actually didn¡¯t attach too much importance to such a victory. In his opinion, the victory of the Satsuma Domain expeditionary force composed of musketeers, cavalry, infantry, and naval forces against the Shimazu family was not something worth showing off.  Even killing the Japanese "Sword Master" Miyamoto Musashi was just a small embellishment in this victory.

    The real purpose of sending troops this time has nothing to do with rescuing the Zheng family hostages, nor does it have anything to do with showing off force.  The only thing is that our group has taken a big and most important step in colonization

    Taiwan is very small, and because of this, Ding Yunyi needs a large number of colonies to support his group.  As Britain will be in the future.

    ?Or more accurately.  Ding Yunyi takes Britain as his example

    To some extent, Taiwan and the UK have many similarities.  But learn from Britain.  It's not just one colony

    Ding Yunyi, who returned to Golden Eagle City, did not celebrate.  Instead, he summoned all his subordinates as soon as possible.

    "Yuanhang Island is our first colony, and Satsuma Domain is the second" Ding Yunyi said straight to the point: "What we have to consider next is how to conquer more colonies. Taiwan is very small, but if we  The colony far exceeds the area of ??Taiwan itself, so no matter from any aspect, it will be the most advantageous His subordinates looked at each other and it was already very obvious that the general town meant that it would be a long time in the future.  Within, wars will continue, and the pace of expansion will also continue.

    Qin Yun was a little worried: "Headquarters. It is a big taboo to go militarily. Taiwan has absorbed so many refugees, and it is difficult to digest them. We are currently recuperating, and we have just fought the Battle of Satsuma Domain, which consumes a lot of money.  If we continue to use troops, I am worried that it will affect the development of Taiwan and Penghu in all aspects Qin Yun's opposition did not make Ding Yunyi unhappy at all: "What Xiao Jin said is probably what many people are worried about.  Once the troops are sent out, money and food are demanded, and the troops are moved.  Thousands of taels of gold, and a little wealth accumulated through hard work, will flow away like running water But the colonial war is completely different from other wars.  A large number of colonies will bring us a lot of wealth and, most importantly, manpower.  For example, in this battle of the Satsuma Domain, we spent a huge amount of money. It seems that we just helped Zheng Zhilong rescue his family members. We didn't get any benefits ourselves.  Moreover, we have to transport food to Satsuma Domain, so we will suffer a big loss.  In fact, it is not the case He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "What I can assure you is that the benefits of conquering the Satsuma Domain will be quickly reflected within a few months. The money we spend will be several times that of the Satsuma Domain."  , repay us dozens of timesand the same will be true for the future colonies. Those places waiting for us to conquer will become treasures that provide us with a steady stream of manpower and material resources. We will because of these large numbers of colonies.  He quickly became stronger with the appearance of If people like Qin Yun didn't have a deep understanding of this, then the nerves of people like Cai Jiuzhou, Zhang Xianxuan, and Ye Dahai suddenly became excited under the stimulation of these words.

    Wherever there are battles, there are military exploits.  Where there are battles, there are opportunities to make achievements.

    And now, it is obvious that after completing the conquest of the Satsuma Domain, the town has no intention of stopping

    Ding Yunyi smiled slightly: "I am ready to further strengthen the armed forces of Ming Ocean Company. It is not convenient for me, Huben Guard, to directly intervene in these matters, and leave it to Daming Ocean Company. The company has armed employees and neatly equipped warships.  There are a lot of experienced Tessie officers who are more than capable of doing this and going above and beyond what we thought possible!¡±

    Qin Yun nodded, but then he had some doubts: "Captain Bolaiman has started a new voyage trade with Mr. Sun Xiyu and others. In terms of familiarity with this aspect, I am afraid no one can surpass Bolaiman."  Captain Mann, who can take his place?¡±

    "I have a few suitable candidates"Yun Yi was obviously very confident: "One is Capone Maviniuson, who was the first to surrender to us. He has been doing things for us loyally for many years. There is no problem with his loyalty, and he is a red barbarian sailor."  He is experienced in this field and can give him some of the armed employees to command As for our Tiger Guards, I also thought of a candidate His eyes slowly fell on Ye  On Dahai's body, a smile appeared on his lips.

    Ye Dahai understood instantly: "Does the town want me to continue to be a pirate?"

    "No, no, this time is completely different from pirates." Ding Yunyi laughed loudly: "You will be a conqueror, to conquer for us those places that have not yet been conquered. Batavia, there are red barbarians;  There are Fulangji people in Malacca and Ganrasi people in Luzon. Why can¡¯t our soldiers appear in other places?¡±

    "General Town, I understand." Ye Dahai said cheerfully.

    He suddenly felt like doing these things.  Still very much to my liking.  Once you embark on a journey of conquest, you no longer have to worry about any military regulations.  It can even be said that some of the power of life and death will be completely in your own hands.

    He was also a little lucky.  Thanks to the fact that he was working under the command of the head town, the head town was also an official who acted unscrupulously and did not follow the rules at all. If he had another boss, given his character and temper, he would probably have his head chopped off.  Or he would have run away quietly

    Maybe this is what kind of officers lead what kind of soldiers

    Ye Dahai then hesitated: "Zongzhen, you just said that Batavia, Malacca, and Luzon are all in the hands of the Westerners. Where else can we start?"

    "The sea. Sometimes your mind can't turn around." Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "There are so many places around us, are they all occupied by the Westerners? Come here, bring me the sea map.  "

    The chart was hung up, and Ding Yunyi pointed at it and said, "Look, we have chosen two places for you Follow the direction pointed by the general town, and everyone can see clearly:

    Siam, Taungoo!

    "King Uthong, the leader of Siam, annexed the territory of the Kingdom of Sukhothai and established the Ayutthaya Dynasty, which has been passed down to the present. The Ayutthaya Dynasty was once prosperous, but then a protracted war broke out with Taungoo.  The country was in great decline. Later, after the Folangji people occupied the Malacca area, they arrived in Siam and tried to gain benefits in Siam Ding Yunyi said with a mysterious smile: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Siam has been dispatched nineteen times.  The envoy came and was very loyal to me, Ming Dynasty.  I heard that they have been attacked very hard by the Toungoo Kingdom in recent decades and have suffered constant defeats. How can I, the Tiger Guards, stand by and ignore the attacks on the loyal and loyal vassal states of foreign countries?  "

    The subordinates all laughed. This was another excuse for the commander to send troops there.

    Ding Yunyi doesn¡¯t want to hide anything.  Siam has not yet been occupied by those Thai and Western countries, so I have a great opportunity to take advantage of it, but if I take action later, I am afraid that I will not even be able to drink the soup.

    The excuse for sending troops was very simple: to help Siam, the "loyal vassal state" of the Ming Dynasty, resist the invasion from the Toungoo Dynasty.

    The so-called "Taungoo Dynasty" was actually what became Myanmar. It was not a good bird either. It even invaded the Ming Dynasty many times and occupied a large amount of Ming Dynasty territory.

    The Toungoo Dynasty can be regarded as the most powerful feudal dynasty in Myanmar history.  China calls them Dongwu, Donghu, and Diwula.  Mangrui style was founded in Taungu in the eighth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, hence the name.

    The glorious Bagan dynasty in Myanmar fell, and Myanmar entered the period of great division.

    The northern part of Myanmar formed the Ava dynasty centered on the city of Ava, ruled by the Shan ethnic group, while the southern part of Myanmar formed the Baigu dynasty centered on Baigu, ruled by the Mon ethnic group.

    From the reign of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to the first year of Hongxi, the two countries continued to clash, known in history as the "Forty Years' War".  In addition to these two big countries, there are also Taungoo, Mubang, Mengyang, Mengmi, Arakan and other countries, among which Taungoo of the Bamar ethnic group is the strongest.  After the Shan people ruled Ava, the Bamar people could not bear their oppression and moved to Taungoo one after another.  During the Forty Years' War, Taungoo was far away from the war zone and was not damaged by the war. It became a refuge for the Bamar people to escape war and famine, so the population continued to increase.  As a result, they launched a fierce struggle on the land of Myanmar.  Similarly, Mengyang and Mubang in the north also took advantage of Ava's participation in the Burmese civil war to develop their own power. A greater change was about to take place in Burma.

    In the sixth year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, Silun, the son of Silu, the leader of Mengyang Kingdom, joined forces with Hanlie, the leader of Mu State, and Meng Miguo to capture the city of Ava. They killed King Mang Jisui of Ava and his wife and children, and established his clan Mang Buxin as the leader.  King of Ava, the three kingdoms divided the land of Ava.  Therefore, the Ava State sent envoys to Yunnan to cry out to the local government of the Ming Dynasty.However, the Yunnan government did not report the matter to Beijing in time.

    Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, the power of the Central Dynasty in the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula has increased significantly. The chieftains in this area have accepted officials from the Ming Dynasty and served as the Xuanwei Division and the Xuanfu Division. Whenever there is a war, they request the imperial court to send troops for reinforcements.

    Later, the Ming Dynasty sent Yongchang prefect Yan Shitai and Wei commander Wang Xun to the local area to investigate the actual situation.

    As a result, after hearing the news, Silun sent troops to the post house where the Ming army stayed temporarily at night to make a noise and cause trouble. They burned the post house and killed Cao Yi, the gold medal Qianhu. Yan Shitai and other forces fled back to Yunnan in a hurry.  At this time, due to the Anfeng Rebellion, the Ming Dynasty had no time to pursue further investigations. Since then, its power in northern Myanmar has greatly diminished, paving the way for even greater chaos in the future.  After that, Silun massacred Burmese monks, destroyed pagodas, and burned Buddhist scriptures.

    In the seventh year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, Yunnan Commander-in-Chief Mu Shaoxun and Governor Ouyang Zhong sent political advisor Wang Ruzhou and others to Northern Burma again to visit chieftains from all sides and advise them to cease their troops and truce, and not to disobey the orders of the Ming Dynasty.  At this time, Meng Yangguo, Silun and others did not want to make the relationship with the Ming Dynasty worse. They were each willing to pay tribute to ivory, brocade, gold and silverware and other items, and were willing to return the land they had seized, and felt repentant for their mistakes.  .  However, the territorial disputes between various countries have still not been resolved, and wars may still break out in the future.  Yunnan reported to Beijing that they hoped to allocate 13 wide areas such as Man Mo, which caused the most serious troubles and the Ming Dynasty could not afford to garrison for a long time, to Meng Mi. They requested that the difference be paid one thousand taels of silver every year; and because of Mubang's dissatisfaction  , and the seven places including Meng Nai were ceded to Hanlie, the leader of Mu State.  The Ming Dynasty temporarily settled the dispute at the expense of its own interests.

    In the tenth year of the Jiajing reign, the fifteen-year-old Mangruti succeeded to the throne in Toungoo. From then on, the most powerful dynasty in Myanmar history was established, known as the Toungoo Dynasty in history.  Earlier, his father Ming Jiyu had married the daughter of the King of Ava for a political marriage, thus obtaining the "granary" of Jiaokesi as a dowry, which promoted the development of agriculture; he also formed an alliance with the powerful Baigu Dynasty to contain the Ava dynasty.  attack.  While the Ava dynasty and the Baigu dynasty were fighting each other and hurting both, Taungoo was recharging its energy and gathering strength.

    It is said that the weapons in the royal palace's arsenal were sparkling when Mang Ruiti was born, which is considered to be a symbol of Taungoo's martial arts. Its name means "the only golden umbrella".  Before his coronation, Mang Ruiti had to participate in the ear-piercing ceremony and the initiation ceremony. He was determined to visit the four holy places in the country, namely the Ruixigong Pagoda in Bagan, the Ruishantao Pagoda in Pyay, the Ruidaguang Pagoda in Daguang and the Bagan Pagoda.  These rituals are performed at one of the Gudirimutau pagodas.  In order to show his prestige, he resolutely chose the Shwe Mutaw Pagoda, which is located next to the capital of the Paku dynasty, the overlord of Myanmar.  Mang Ruiti selected 500 elite cavalry and took the lead. He entered the enemy's territory at night and arrived at Ruimutao at sunrise.  The Meng people in the city thought that these cavalry were the vanguard of an invading army, so they hurriedly closed the city gates and defended the city, losing precious time.

    When they learned that there were only 500 Burmese soldiers inside Shwe Mutaw Pagoda, they immediately rushed out of the city and surrounded the temple.  At this time, the ear-piercing ceremony is about to end, and the astrologers in the palace are piercing Mang Rui's ears.  When the sentry called urgently, Mang Ruiti said calmly:

    "Have your ears pierced, my teeth are more important than the Meng people."
