A strong country must be domineering, not necessarily the truth, but reality.

A big fist is the truth. If you say you are unrighteous, you are unrighteous. If you say you are provoked, you are provoked. If you say you are not allowed to explain what you are doing, you will not be able to explain it.

The emperor has been instilling such a concept. Although the civil servants still don’t understand it very much, the army gradually developed a fierce and domineering temperament.

What kind of tolerance of the Celestial Kingdom is far less real than real money and silver.

What's more, the dilemma of the Little Ice Age was inevitable and extremely destructive if the Ming Empire, which had a large population, was improperly dealt with.

Xiong Tingbi was not capable enough to be able to firmly sit in the position of Minister of War, and was unable to implement the emperor's will, so he had long been transferred.

"Long live the saints and brightness, the people of Myanmar have been suffering and harsh rule for a long time. The king's army attacked him, which is actually an act of following the people." Xiong Tingbi's expression remained unchanged and agreed with the emperor.

The emperor smiled and pointed at the sand table, and said, "Contact Siam to attack Myanmar, you can get help. But don't tell it too early to prevent leaks."

Xiong Tingbi agreed, but did not agree.

In his opinion, with the current weapons and actual combat power of the Ming army, it is undoubtedly necessary to win without having to pull Siam. If Siam sends troops to attack Myanmar, it is necessary to occupy some Myanmar territory, and it is better to occupy them all by the Ming army.

The emperor also wanted to eat a fat man in one bite, but the environment of the tropical and subtropical jungle and the complex ethnic situation made him wary.

If the land occupied too wide and the troops stationed were too few, the emperor would be worried about being trapped in the continuous harassment of the Burmese people. At that time, there was no term guerrilla warfare, but similar tactical methods had already existed.

"The key to attacking Myanmar is not to defeat the main force of the Burmese army, but to steadily occupy the seized land at the lowest cost." The emperor glanced at Xiong Tingbi thoughtfully and reminded: "Occupying Goryeo during the Tang Dynasty, but not being able to defend it for a long time is also a lesson we should learn."

Xiong Tingbi's heart was terrified and he hurriedly bowed to answer.

Not to mention the long-standing Tang Dynasty, even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, most of the three Xuan and six comforts were lost in the southwest, which is also a lesson and experience.

"To support the weak and suppress the strong, in some newly occupied or restricted places, the balance is still applicable." The emperor pondered and said: "Jiannu still knew how to use the Han people in Liaodong, so why would the Ming Dynasty not be as good as it?"

The emperor did not say anything about the Myanmar traitor, and Xiong Tingbi had already understood it. This was not the first time the emperor expressed his intentions, and the cabinet was also discussing and studying the specific policies after entering Myanmar.

The emperor did not propose or clarify the term colony. Moreover, it was not applicable to the Three Propagandas and Six Comforts that were to be regained.

In Borneo, the emperor had such an idea. But before he could think about the specific operation, he had to take a step forward.

The emperor turned around, looked at the large sand table in Liaodong again, narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not give any more instructions.

Xiong Tingbi left, but the emperor was still staying in the side hall, and his thoughts just now came to his mind again.

Liaodong is mostly fertile black soil, but it is not easy to develop. The most important thing is the population. Immigration work has been going on, but the progress has not satisfied the emperor.

The landless people in Henan, Zhili, Shandong, and the Jianghuai River were mostly canal workers, which seemed to be quite a lot.

However, the call from the government and the preferential policies introduced by the government are not enough for the people who are "rest and relocated".

In history, the trend of going to the west, going to the Guandong, and going to the Southeast Asia was formed. In the eyes of the emperor, it was really impossible for the people to leave their hometowns.

Therefore, the emperor felt that it would be more effective to develop Liaodong as soon as possible and attract big landlords, big families and other objects.

Because whether it is enclosing land or establishing a large farm, the people do not have human, financial and material resources.

But in the emperor's mind, the problem of "land annexation" is difficult to solve.

In recent years, the land has been gradually taken back to the state, and almost all the land enfeoffed by the vassal kings in various places have been taken back. Now restrictions have been lifted, and in the face of capital, the severity and consequences of land annexation have made the emperor hesitate.

Only rent but not sell, the tax is set very low, and the term is set for a few years or more than ten years. Is it attractive to those big capitals and big landlords?

The emperor changed his mind and thought for a while. He felt that it might work, but he didn't dare to be very sure.

"Emperor." Li Chengcheng brought tea and served it with diligently.

The emperor nodded, sat in the chair, drinking tea, and was still immersed in his own thoughts.

……………………………….

Shenyang.

Mao Wenlong put down the newspaper in his hand, frowned slightly, and gently tapped the table with his fingers, looking thoughtful.

The national policy of the Ming Dynasty was changing, and this was not just happening. At least in Mao Wenlong's feeling, it has been at least two or three years. But the most obvious thing is the actions since this year and uncovered publicity.

Compared with ordinary people, officials of Mao Wenlong must know more and more confidential news.

He knew some information when the Southwest wanted to attack Myanmar, and of course it was kept confidential and he would not leak it to the outside world.

Liaodong has been pacified and She'an's rebels have been destroyed. The emperor has dispatched troops and continued to carry out military operations, which is beyond his expectations.

But from the newspaper "Da Ming Forum", we can clarify the emperor's ideas and plans in a few years.

First, we pacified Liao and destroyed slaves, then we wiped out the rebellion, and then we made progress and fought for a broader land for the people of the Ming Dynasty. Well, in the words of the emperor, it is called survival space...

Advance north and south, the emperor had pointed out the direction of expansion for the Ming Empire. As a soldier, Mao Wenlong had a war and had achievements, so he naturally agreed with him.

However, Mao Wenlong also saw the difference between the future expansion and the original one. The emperor not only had to occupy it with guns and cannons, but also had to immigrate and reclaim it, and hold the new territory firmly in his hands.

If you can fight and hold them steadily, both of these goals must be achieved, and the requirements for the army will naturally be higher, and the imperial court will naturally be very invested.

The emperor obviously had confidence in realizing this ambition. Mao Wenlong also knew that the court's finances had improved greatly now, which was enough to support orderly military operations in both directions.

Speaking of order, Mao Wenlong's understanding is to support war, rather than uncontrollably advancing occupation. Military operations in both the north and the south directions obviously have higher returns in the south.

Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly and shook his head to express his helplessness. Although the north is wide, it is a deserted and cold place with few people and no one can compare with the south.

The conditions are different, so the advancement in the north must of course be steady and slow, because the court's investment is significant and the number of people who move to the people is limited.

To occupy steadily, there is no sufficient population and no farmland. Anyone knows that the goal cannot be achieved by transporting grain from afar.

"Master, the generals have arrived at the conference room." The captain of the personal soldiers came in to report.
