"What? The Kingdom of Bala, the Kingdom of Lao Buddha, the Kingdom of Aceh and the Kingdom of Perak were attacked by the Ming Dynasty. Do you want us Dashun to send troops to rescue? Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house? They don't know how the country of Burma disappeared? Oh, look.

These countries are either dumbfounded, or they are playing some trick!"

The person who is talking nonsense is Li Jicheng, the grandson of Emperor Dashun. This boy is not old, only in his early twenties. But he is very capable. He has already distinguished himself on the battlefield in Shaanxi, leading the new army that imitated the Ming army.

The Juvenile Mansion Army fought against the army commanded by Wu Sangui many times, and they won more than they lost!

However, this boy's ability to cause trouble is almost as great as his ability to fight. During the war in Shaanxi, he relied on his status as the emperor's grandson and won several battles, so he did not treat Liu Zongmin, Li Dingguo, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and other old people like him.

The king took it seriously. He also mocked them behind the scenes for being too advanced in their fighting skills and not knowing how to command a new type of army. Although this was true, the founding princes of the country were indeed a bit out of date and could not keep up with the times, but

It’s so offensive to say it!

Dashun is not a system of the emperor's dictatorship, but a system of eight kings discussing politics. If the eight kings discussing politics are offended by him, his grandson will not be able to continue.

Therefore, Prince Li Laiheng did not dare to leave him on the front line of Shaanxi, nor did he dare to leave him to cause trouble in the court. He simply sent him to the military affairs of Burma Governor-General.

After arriving in Myanmar, Li Jicheng had no one to control him, so he spoke even more unmeasuredly. Now he actually said that the dignified Dashun Shangguo and the Benevolent and Righteous Dynasty were the big bad wolves... If these words were given to the emperor

Grandpa Li Guo heard this, and Li Jicheng's position as grandson may be gone!

Li Jicheng does not need Li Laiheng. Li Laiheng, the prince, is nominally a third-generation prince, but he is actually a founding hero and conquered the country together with those old kings, so his status is very stable.

And Li Jicheng, the fourth generation of Dashun, is a real junior. In the eyes of the old kings, he is just an ignorant junior. And those young kings may not obey him, because Li Laiheng has many sons. Although Li Jicheng is the eldest son, his mother is dead.

He got it early, and Li Laiheng renewed his relationship after the death of Li Jicheng's biological mother and married the daughter of Qin Wang Sun Kewang as his concubine. Li Laiheng and Sun Kewang's daughters had a good relationship, and they had three sons and three daughters...

"Great grandson!" Song Yaowen, the son of Song Xiance, who is not much older than Li Jicheng but looks very calm, quickly reminded, "You must be careful in your words and deeds! Now many Lao Wang are dissatisfied with you, Your Majesty

His old man also..."

The dissatisfaction of the political kings with Li Jicheng will not cause the downfall of His Royal Highness, because Li Jicheng is the grandson, not the prince. Now Li Guo has not died, and Li Laiheng's prince does not know when it will be until the year of the monkey and the horse.

To Li Jicheng? Therefore, the political kings were dissatisfied and would not really make efforts to replace Li Jicheng.

But Li Guo's dissatisfaction with Li Jicheng is a problem!

Moreover, Li Guo's dissatisfaction was not because of Li Jicheng's domineering attitude, but because Li Jicheng believed that both the land equalization system and the government army system were outdated and were even on the verge of degenerating into bad governance.

The former, due to the lack of good land that can be divided and the fact that there are too many soldiers in need of land, has evolved into a system in which the soldiers seize land from civilian households. A common situation is that the good land from the civilian households is given to the soldiers.

Then the slopes and terraces will be given to households, or land from Yunnan or even Myanmar will be used to compensate Sichuan farmers who have lost their land. Moving from Sichuan to Yunnan and Myanmar is not an easy task, and the farmers are given wasteland or even forest land.

Investment and development are required to turn it into fertile land.

The vast majority of Dashun farmers could not save the capital for immigration and development, and they had no place to borrow money, so they could only live as tenant farmers in their hometown. Only a small number of them received funding from the Dashun court and the princes' palaces and were able to

Moved to Awa and Salim in Myanmar.

As for the imperial military system, it also encountered difficulties due to the long time it took, the insufficient number of land allotments, and the low subsidies from the court. As time went by, the soldiers became poorer and poorer, and their morale during the service became lower and lower.

What makes Li Jicheng even more dissatisfied is that the solidification within the Fubing is becoming increasingly serious. Not only is the class solidification, but there are too many "old people" who hold high positions and cannot quit, thus blocking the way for newcomers. This matter is similar to Dashun's.

It has something to do with "making a profit". Apart from being a soldier, there is no other way out for those "veteran veterans".

In addition, there is no way for the Dashun army to implement the hated last-place elimination system and "997" - how to eliminate the Fu soldiers? Confiscate the land or let the sons take over? Moreover, the Fu soldiers combine soldiers with farmers, and their martial arts skills are at home.

Once you have practiced well, there is no need to cram in the military camp and practice hard. Therefore, there is no tradition of "997", and the soldiers are not paid, so there is no tool to encourage soldiers to practice hard.

If the war patterns had not changed rapidly over the years, Dashun's military system should still be a very good military system. But now these feudal landowner soldiers are a bit behind the trend... In Shaanxi, the main battlefield of the Mingshun confrontation

On the battlefield, the signs of the Dashun Army falling behind were even more obvious. Although Li Dingguo always had an advantage over Wu Sangui in terms of military strategy, Wu Sangui was invincible with just a few new military divisions.

Whenever two armies face off, even if the Dashun army has superior numbers and superior terrain, they will most likely lose in the end. Even if they barely win, it will definitely be a miserable victory.

Only the youth army raised by Li Jicheng performed better. They could fight in line with Wu Sangui's new military division and beat him several times.

However, the new-style youth army had few people after all, and because of its outstanding performance, it became a key target of the Ming army. Wu Sangui also asked Zhu Cixiang to recruit a young guard army to fight against Li Jicheng's young soldiers. Therefore, Li Taisun did not open up the situation in Shaanxi, and still

He offended many people, and even Emperor Li Guo was dissatisfied with him - what Li Guo hated most was someone exposing the shortcomings of Juntian and his soldiers!

Hearing what his confidants said, Li Jicheng just snorted a few times: "These people are becoming more and more stubborn as they get older, and they can't even listen to the truth now. If this continues, what will happen to our Dashun!"

"Great grandson," Gao Yidao, who also protected his great grandson, interjected, "going south to Malacca may be able to reverse the decline!"

Li Jicheng shook his head, "It's useless... We are not the Ming Dynasty. Sha Lian's sea trade can't make much money at all. It's just a matter of passing money."

It is four to five thousand miles from the Sichuan Basin to the mouth of Shalian Sea, and the road is not easy to travel. There are many mountains along the way, and the transportation cost is frighteningly high.

Therefore, Sha Lian Sea Trade did not make any money at all, that is, in exchange for some good horses and guns needed by the Dashun Dynasty, and cotton needed by the official handicraft workshops of Sha Lian and Awa.

"Grandson," Gao Yidao shook his head and lowered his voice, "That's opening up a new territory! And Malacca is a good place to set up a card and collect money... In addition, the Bala Kingdom is actually

The Western Red-haired Kingdom has created a signboard here in Nanyang. I guess the Red-haired Kingdom was forced by the Ming Dynasty to become anxious and wanted us to enter Malacca to disrupt the situation."

"The Bala Kingdom is the Red-Haired Country?" Li Jicheng frowned, "Well, I heard that the Red-Haired Country is a powerful Western country, and it has many good guns and cannons!"

"Not only do they have good guns and cannons, but they also have good ships..." Song Yaowen added, "If the Red-haired Country is willing to help us fight against the Arakan Country, we will take advantage of it!"

The Arakan Kingdom is adjacent to Myanmar and India. It has a long coastline and has always been founded on trade. Therefore, although the country is not big, it is very wealthy and has long been targeted by Li Laiheng.

However, because the land route from Lower Burma to Arakan was difficult, and the navy of Arakan was relatively powerful, Li Laiheng could only keep a look at it, and there was no possibility of attacking.

Li Jicheng waved his hand and said: "It can't be like this. Our Dashun is a country of benevolence and righteousness. How can we let the red-haired country help us annex small countries? In that case, the Old Buddha Kingdom, Aceh and Perak can still be close to us?"

"It's still Taisun Renyi." Song Yaowen was slightly disappointed, but he still praised him.
