From the end of Jiajing to the era of great pirates

The treaty was signed and the dust settled.

As for the Japanese side, there is no need to elaborate on Tokugawa Ieyasu's secret joy. Anyway, the battle of Sekigahara was much easier.Kato, who feared him the most, was gone. In addition, Yukino Konishi, a direct descendant of Toyotomi, and Shimazu, who was the most capable of fighting, were gone. The Tokugawa family couldn't wait to open champagne to celebrate.

The Ming Dynasty was also unsatisfied. After Wanli felt proud, he immediately transferred Lao Xiong to Yunnan, preparing to teach Zuer Xiaobang a lesson.

Burma danced for too long and kept dancing without paying attention to him. After Wanli felt proud for once, he couldn't bear this kind of provocation and decided to fight for peace.In fact, it would be better to send Qi Jiguang, but the return of the military god is too big, and Wanli cannot go against the public opinion of the court.

The civil servants were already dissatisfied before. Qi Jiguang fought too fast. Before Yang Hao and Yang Hao could get into position, the North Korean side had already finished fighting.Then, before they could participate in the negotiations, Lao Xiong even excavated the leased gold and silver mines, and the two civil servants who were supposed to take the first credit got nothing in the end.However, when Yang Hao returned to Beijing to resume his duties, his carriage was hit by Liu Wei's soldiers and horses, and he forged a personal vendetta. He simply couldn't bear it.

In fact, Qi and Xiong also discussed the overall strategy, but they did not expect that the naval advantage would be so great. However, Qi Jiguang also believed that it would be best if Xiong Tingbi could cut off the sea route.The Ming Dynasty can solve the problem quickly and the army can have fewer casualties. Otherwise, if the Japanese reinforcements come in waves, casualties will be inevitable if they can win.

As for the generals of the Qi family army who felt that the fighting was not enough, they could only ignore it. The Japanese were only capable of this, so who could they blame?

Therefore, in the end, when Lao Xiong went to attack Burma, he had to go alone. The Qi army returned to Jimen to continue to defend the capital, and their marshal had no choice but to retire and go home again.Xiongqihebi, never see each other again.

Lao Xiong took Liu Wei with him in the capital, so he didn't count as traveling alone.

Old Xiong is gone, and there are still people in the court who want to take over his navy.But in name, Lao Xiong stayed in the leased area, but in fact he naturally returned to the Zheng family. Moreover, Li Dan was also staying in the leased area. He will be responsible for the operation and safety there, and will take [-]% of the profits in the end. Wanli happened to have a surplus of eunuchs and sent two mine supervisors over.

Therefore, it can be said that the civil servant group gained nothing, and had no chance to show off its power in front of the Japanese mission. It felt very aggrieved, and finally the anger came out on Qi Jiguang.

On Xiong Tingbi's side, all civil servants in Yunnan received notices of non-cooperation, and they made it clear that they were not cooperating, and were ready to embarrass Lao Xiong.Who would have thought that Lao Xiong took Liu Wei directly to Songjiang Prefecture. After asking his ancestors for help in person, he boarded the ship in Songjiang. The fleet that originally showed its prowess in North Korea unloaded some of its artillery and turned it into a troop transport ship. Went directly to Myanmar by sea.

Myanmar is a country that adheres to the Southeast Asian characteristics of high mountains and deep forests in the north and facing the sea in the south.Therefore, the really difficult part is the north. As long as there are many people, you can hide in the woods.The south is almost undefended, but the most fertile places in the country are all in the south.Zhu Jue's opinion is to just take their retreat and then fight however they want.

Mang Yingli of the Toungoo Dynasty never imagined that the Ming army would stab him from behind.

First, Yecheng was attacked, then Moulmein, then Yangon, Bago, and the coastal cities were frightened overnight. They looked at the sea every day, for fear of seeing a fleet similar to the Portuguese allies approaching.

The first person Mang Yingli turned to was his Portuguese ally, but Portugal only had a few mercenaries here. There were only three Caravel sailing ships in total. When he went out to sea, he saw dozens of Galen ships on the opposite side. The overwhelming firepower came at them, and only one was left. When I returned to Hong Kong, I didn’t dare to go out again.

Mangyingli could only deploy troops to encircle them, but the Burmese army and the Ming army were already far behind. The Ming general Gao Guochun had already performed a show of losing 500 to tens of thousands in Yunnan. It would be impossible to attack them head-on. Lao Xiong also specially brought 300 troops. The Zheng family's private army was all trained by Yishin Dojo. Breaking into the Burmese army was like cutting butter with a hot knife. As a result, they were defeated successively along the coast and had to call back all the troops from the north to defend the capital.

Seeing the advantage, the Yunnan Mu family quickly regained their lost ground and launched a tentative attack.Soon it was discovered that the monkeys all over the mountains and plains were gone, leaving only a few sentries, so he raised three thousand troops and advanced with confidence, and finally joined forces with Lao Xiong and Liu Wei at the foot of Taungu City.

Lao Xiong initially implemented his ancestor's strategy of raiding the coast. However, after the Burmese army came to encircle it several times, he discovered that his ancestor was wrong again this time. The Burmese monkeys were simply vulnerable to a frontal attack. The so-called hundreds of thousands of soldiers , hundreds of people can defeat them in one charge.

To the north, they are protected by mountains and forests, and all kinds of harassment are extremely annoying. If they go to the south, they can push all the way and capture the thieves and the king.

Just like that, Lao Xiong and the Mu family army gathered under the Toungu city and marched eastward and westward. Mang Yingli, the leader of the Toungu dynasty who was desperate for expansion, was frightened. He quickly sent out a group of envoys and personally led the team, giving various explanations and apologies.Lao Xiong didn't have any ideas here. His ancestors knew nothing about Myanmar and didn't know what they wanted. He could only send them to the capital to explain. After all, the two countries were at war.

Therefore, after being proud of the Japanese country, Wanli soon welcomed envoys from the south, who also came to beg for surrender, and were led by the king himself.Lao Xiong used flying scissors to send the envoys to the capital, so they arrived very quickly.

Wanli also knew nothing about Myanmar and directly demanded that the other party stop harassing the border, otherwise he would capture the capital of Taungoo next time and kill the strongest dynasty in Myanmar from top to bottom.This time the threat was severe enough and deep. Anyway, Mang Yingli had remembered that the Ming Dynasty had naval forces, and the deep mountains and forests to the north alone could not withstand it.

Wanli recalled Lao Xiong conveniently, which made him, the governor of Yunnan, end his appointment without even making a trip to Yunnan, which was an anomaly.Yunnan officials stayed on guard for several months, and finally stayed alone, not to mention all kinds of vomiting of blood.

Who knew that Myanmar, which is so difficult to deal with, would have such big loopholes?

After this incident, Wanli also began to think that the Ming Dynasty should also have its own navy.This thing is so convenient. As long as there is a coastline, you can point where to hit.Myanmar's Taungoo dynasty has been harassing the country's borders since the Jiajing period.If you attack from the front, you won't be able to catch anyone, and you will have to transport food thousands of miles and travel across mountains and rivers.

If the naval forces circle around like this, they can really harass them, and they can also force the opponent to fight head-on.Liu Ting's troops were originally from Yunnan, and they were quite effective in attacking the Burmese army, but they couldn't force them out. Now they changed directions and marched directly to the enemy's capital.

A thing that has troubled the Ming Dynasty for decades, as soon as the navy came out, it forced the opponent to kneel down and surrender, directly defeating thousands of troops.Wanli originally thought that Lao Xiong would have to fight in Yunnan for 20 to [-] years, but it turned out that all the time was spent on the road. The real fight only took two months.

In the Ming Dynasty, it seemed necessary to open the sea and build a navy.
