Chapter 1275

In the city of AVA, Li Er Mao walked along the "street". On both sides of the stalls that began to flourish because of the move in of the Ming army, those men and women were soliciting in poor Chinese.

"Good Qidi! Change!"

In the oil pan, the blackened oil is still frying fish, shrimp and rice balls. This is a high-end product. The local people can't afford it. That is, the Ming army has money and a large number of people. It often comes to clean up.

More than ten ivory tusks were placed on the mud. An old woman sat on the side. Seeing Li Ermo in a green shirt, she greeted him with a grin in local dialect.

Li Ermo shook his head. During the last expedition to the south, Fang Xing brought home dozens of tusks, which are still left in the warehouse to accumulate dust.

The so-called streets are not as clean as a county in Daming. They are all uncompacted dirt roads. Once it rains, this is a rotten mud pond.

Most of the houses on both sides are thatched houses with bamboo mats as walls. This is the only thing that can catch the eye. Just a fire can turn these houses into torches.

The weather was hot and the merchants were not energetic. They all hid in the house.

Originally, King Ava's residence became the headquarters of the Ming army. Li Ermo nodded to the sergeant guarding the door.

"What does Bogu mean? What do you want to do if the messenger doesn't come and doesn't fight? Is rosatoli determined to be the enemy of Daming?"

The spacious Buddhist hall was turned into a temporary discussion office. When Li Er Mao arrived, Fang Zheng was spraying wildly.

"Shang Qi, what are they doing?"

Li Er Mao sat down on the side and nodded with several generals.

Shang Qi is familiar with the southwest and has some research on Myanmar, so he is highly relied on by Fang Zheng.

"My Lord, I don't think rosatolli will give in."

"Why?"

"Because of the mountains!"

There was a map on the table. Shang Qi pointed to Bogu and said, "if we take the initiative to attack, they just need to drill into the forest and come back when we go. The second is sneak attack. From the past methods of Burmese people, their favorite is sneak attack. Surprise us."

Fang Zheng's eyes turned and said, "raid, this is a problem. Where are the follow-up people?"

Fang Zheng is only responsible for attacking and cutting. Later, troops will enter Myanmar to take over the task of guarding public security.

Shang Qi said, "almost. According to the distance, it will take half a month at most."

Fang Zheng's face slightly Ji, "if you arrive late, the military law is ruthless!"

"No, we cleaned up all along the way, and the weather is good, which won't affect the March."

"Li Er Mao, tell me your opinion on the current situation."

Fang Zheng sat down and took a sip from his tea cup.

Li Er Mao got up, walked to the table and said, "Sir, AVA was defeated by us. In addition to the prosperity of the military front in Daming, there is another reason, that is, they have fought with Bogu for more than 30 years, and the population loss of both sides is too much."

"The junior officer walked around recently and found that the mature fields in many places were abandoned and there was no race. What does this mean? It means that there are fewer men. Even if Daming doesn't fight, they have to stop the war!"

"What do you want to say?"

Everyone knows this truth. Fang Zheng thinks that Li Er Mao is a bad problem of literati - a betrayal attack.

Li Ermao drew a circle around the place representing Myanmar with his fingers and said, "the people are thinking of peace. This is Daming's opportunity. We just need to stay where we are and Bogu will be embarrassed."

Fang Ze pointed to him and said with a smile, "you boy, we're talking about how to fight Bogu. You've already thought of how to manage here. Say it. You're idle anyway."

Shang Qi was curious about Li Ermo. He was young, and according to others along the way, he was still cutting firewood to support himself and his mother a few years ago.

As a result, the lucky star was admitted to Zhixing academy by Fang Xing, and then it got out of control. It is said that Zhu Di personally ordered his current official position.

After a few years of hard work, this man has been reborn. It seems that Xinghe Bo has more cultural and educational power than he did during the southern expedition. It's hard to say how he will develop in the future!

"My Lord, this is not just governance. AVA is like this, and Bogu must be like this. That is to say, Bogu is in a difficult situation at this time. They are afraid that Daming will fight over, so they hesitate. The lower officials think that they must be lucky, or put all their eggs in one basket with the old way."

"Sneak attack? HMM!"

Fang Zheng got up and said, "that's what I think. Go, let the brothers move and check the wall. Also, send out those who are loyal to Daming and get a reward for the exact news. Well, go."

"You wait."

Fang Zheng stopped Li Ermo. After they all left, he said, "the latest news is that his highness and xinghebo went to sea to declare their power and destroyed Java."

As soon as Li Er Mao heard it, he said happily, "Siam must be flustered."

"Yes! Their messengers have arrived, but I haven't seen them. Let them go to the capital and the etiquette department."

"When Myanmar is attacked, Siam is attacked before and after. Once Daming starts, Zhenla will certainly take advantage of it. It's strange that they don't panic."

"Siam is not small, and the people are fierce. Your majesty means that it is best to subdue people without war. Make plans after the fleet of Daming is expanded in the future."

This is to advance both land and water. If Siam is not interested, it will probably be dangerous.

Li Er Mao thought of Fang Xing's analysis and said, "Sir, Siam is not easy to attack. If they don't surrender, isolate it and provoke their internal struggle."

Fang Zheng looked at the map and said, "this is not something we can decide, but your idea is good. Since you beat AVA, please calm down. What advice do you have?"

"Trade!"

Li Ermao said: "there are plenty of precious stones, some good wood and a lot of gold and silver here. Daming can dredge the business road, transport some cloth and sell what they don't have. When they have money, they will live. When they develop slowly, they will rely on the trade with Daming..."

Li Ermo hesitated and finally said his idea: "for example, our potato production is large. We can make vermicelli and powder and transport them here for sale. It's cheaper, so that people can feel that growing grain is not good. Later..."

"If they turn over later and Daming pinches the business road, they will be hungry!"

Fang Zheng got up, patted Li Er Mao on the shoulder and said, "it's really a famous teacher and an expert. Although the plot is vicious, I like it. Go and get a jar of wine yourself as a reward."

Li Er Mao bowed down and left. The eunuch came in and said, "this son is really talented. No wonder Xinghe Bo dared to let him out. Look at us! He is much better than that Ma su."

Fang Zheng's relationship with the supervisor was OK. When he heard the speech, he said: "Li Ermo grew up through hardships, and he has no fame. Therefore, if he wants to make a start, he must have credit. This is the main reason."

"As for Ma Su, that's Fang Xing's eldest disciple. He's afraid that he'll be cheated by others and have too much influence."

"Oh! It's said that those literati and xinghebo have been hostile to each other. We should be careful."

After the gossip was over, Fang Zheng discussed and said, "the grain and grass in the army should be transported from Yunnan. Although we have captured the granary, it is not enough. I am going to let the officers and men plant the land in their spare time. What do you think of the supervisor?"

"Good thing! The climate here is good. We have more varieties here and less transportation in the Ming Dynasty. Alas! The loss of grain transportation is amazing! If there are no potatoes, the war will make the household worried!"
