Based on historical records and the current combat power of the Ming army, the emperor believed that victory in the attack on Myanmar was expected. And a slow advance means a steady and steady increase the chance of victory to 90%.

If it is just a confrontation based on strength, according to the current equipment level of the Ming army, no army in the world can resist head-on.

Since you have the strength to crush, try not to use any strategy, and do not give your opponent room to use the right battle formation and use the most stable means to obtain the most accurate victory.

As for the military strength, the emperor also agreed with the opinions of Wang Sanshan and others, not increasing the number of people, but strengthening the weapons and equipment, and giving high incentives.

The seizure of gold, silver and treasures was extracted, and the population transactions were also divided into the army. This was a considerable income, which could turn the Ming army into a tiger and wolf army that was shaved three feet.

This is what the emperor hoped. The more severe the destruction of the occupied areas, the fewer Burmese people left behind, and the more beneficial it will be for future rule.

The emperor read the memorial and calculated the time. He felt that the good news of attacking Chameng Kingdom was about to arrive.

Cham City is the Champa Bulu, which is simply translated as Champa, Zhanbo, and Zhanbo. Ancient Chinese books call it Xianglinyi, abbreviated as Linyi. From the second half of the 8th century to the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed the Huan Kingdom. It was also called Champa in the Five Dynasties.

The former place of Chameng Kingdom was originally Xianglin County, which was established in the Han Dynasty in China. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Chameng people killed the magistrate of Xianglin County, Rinan County, Han Dynasty, and independent from China, and established Chameng Kingdom.

Every newly built kingdom has been brilliant, and Chameng Kingdom is no exception. He sent troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, and a long war broke out with Zhen La and Vietnam.

The long-term war also caused the decline of Chameng Kingdom, especially after the establishment of the Li dynasty in Vietnam, the country lost its territory one after another, leaving only a small piece of land.

In the 20th year of Wanli, the two major military groups, Zheng and Nguyen, of the Later Li Dynasty in Vietnam, clashed and divided the northern and southern parts of Vietnam respectively, and Chameng Kingdom gained a period of rest.

In order to obtain support from Chameng to fight against the Zheng Lord in the north, Lord Nguyen and Chameng repaired. Nguyen Phuyuan married his daughter Princess Yu-chan to Chameng monarch, and Chameng also took advantage of the Vietnamese civil war to raise an army and establish himself.

In fact, Chameng Kingdom is still basically under the military protection of Nanruan, and is weak and vulnerable.

When the Ming army entered the Mekong Delta and immigrated to develop, they had plans to occupy Chameng. However, the emperor was worried that his foothold was not stable and he was unwilling to have a long-term conflict with Nan Ruan because of the weak Chameng.

Similarly, when facing the huge pressure from Bei Zheng, Nan Ruan did not want to go to war with Ming. Under the tacit understanding between the two sides, Chameng became a buffer in the middle.

However, the changes in the situation and the development and construction of Mekong Province are effective, and the buffering of Chameng Country is no longer necessary.

Liaodong has been settled, the She'an Rebellion has been destroyed, and the Ming Kingdom has no worries about going to war on both sides. If he only deals with Nan Ruan, he will no longer be afraid of the consumption of war.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the war between the Zheng regime and the Nguyen regime finally broke out. The two sides fought for four consecutive months but failed to decide the outcome.

The result of the war was that Vietnam was strongly divided into two parts, north and south, the Zheng family controlled most of the north and the Nguyen family divided most of the south; the dividing line between the two sides was on Zhengjiang in Guangping Province.

Compared with the Zheng family, which ruled the densely populated areas, the Ruan family is at a clear disadvantage in resources and manpower.

However, because the Ruan tribe was on the defensive and based on the favorable terrain and purchased the Grape Man's firearm equipment, it could withstand Zheng's attack.

The time for the Ming Dynasty annexed Cham City was very good. Nan Ruan would never dare to take tough measures. Bei Zheng had already suppressed them so much that they could not breathe. How could they dare to provoke the giant Ming Dynasty again?

Strength is one aspect, and you must also master the timing and obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost.

This is also an important message that the emperor wants to convey to his ministers in the court. He should have a broad vision and not just focus on the acre of three-point land in China.

The international situation, especially the surrounding information, must be well-versed. You cannot stand in the court, but based on your past impressions, you cannot formulate strategies and talk on paper.

For example, in Annan, in addition to the formal war between Zheng and Ruan in Northern and Southern Ruan, who ruled Gaoping, the Mo family regime in Taiyuan was also the one who relied on the Ming Dynasty as its backer for its rule.

The emperor had secretly instructed Yunnan and Guangxi provinces to gradually strengthen their support for the Mo family, laying landmines in Beizheng.

As long as the situation in Annan is unstable, there will be no resistance to the development of Mekong Province and annexing of the Champaign.

And this may just be the beginning.

In the fourth year of Yongle, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Ming Dynasty fought south, and in just one year it swept across the southern border and restored its hometown of the Han and Tang dynasties. It is powerful.

In the second year of Xuande, after losing troops one after another, the Ming Dynasty was forced to withdraw its troops from a small country in southern Xinjiang, and its business was destroyed for twenty years, which was a mess.

There are certain victories and losses, but the lessons are not far away. Although the emperor wanted to restore the former territory of the Han and Tang dynasties, he also knew that Annan had been established for hundreds of years, and direct annexation would face great resistance and the governance cost was high.

But Annan could not easily be stable. The long-term war between Zheng, Nanruan and Gaoping Mo's separatist regime also gave the Ming Dynasty a good opportunity to thrive, use strategies and weaken its strength.

In the Ministry of War, the Minister of War Xiong Tingbi and his subordinates surrounded a huge sand table and discussed the southern Xinjiang issue similar to the emperor.

"The intelligence has been confirmed again. The Zheng family can mobilize up to more than 100,000 troops, and the Ruan family can mobilize up to no more than 30,000 troops."

Xiong Tingbi listened to the report of Zan Hua, and said slowly: "The Ruan people are basically piled up on the Hue defense line between mountains and seas, and it is impossible to go south to rescue Chameng."

A smile appeared on his face, and Xiong Tingbi said in a relaxed tone: "In this way, there will be no worries in attacking Chameng. I guess the good news will come soon."

"Nan Ruan is no longer a minister. Champa is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but he pays tribute to Nan Ruan, regardless of the ranks and ranks, and should be conquered."

A young and strong aide spoke in a fierce tone, pointing to the sand table and saying, "Nan Ruan is not only relying on the territories and the Portuguese firearms to deal with North Zheng. Our navy can cut off its weapons supply, and even put pressure on the Portuguese to cut off the help of Nan Ruan."

"Balance, long live the balance, and the long-term consumption of North Zheng and Nanruan." Another staff member stroked his beard and said, "We cannot weaken Nanruan too much, so that he can resist Zheng."

After pausing, he continued to analyze: "Even if North Zheng has a clear advantage, our country should take advantage of Gaoping Mo's family to restrain North Zheng and give Nan Ruan a chance to breathe."

Xiong Tingbi smiled and said, "No matter what method, Annan is unstable, which will benefit our Ming Dynasty. This strategy is focused on the long-term. For more than ten years or decades, there is no need to rush to achieve success. The defeat of Annan during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong is a lesson."

In the Civil War in Annan, the purpose and principle of the Ming Dynasty were to sit and watch the fight without paying too much money to make it consume and weaken.
