Chapter 198 Support

After the beginning of the Liaodong War, Xiao Tianjian personally sat in Beijing, paying attention to the war in the north that concerns the future of Liaodong and even China. At the same time, the newly established maritime trading group company in the south also began to develop rapidly.

Through the monopoly of overseas trade, the group's profit is very considerable. The unification of the goods after the export price makes all parties obtain greater profits. I'm afraid the most unpleasant is those who are the Dutch and Spaniards and even the Portuguese, and even the British, China's unification and maritime trade group companies. Although the establishment of the Company granted their requirements for trade, it has greatly increased commodity prices and made them pay a lot of price.

Both the Dutch and the Spanish protested for this, but it was obvious that their protest was ineffective, and the Greater China and North Korea would not pay attention to their noise at all.

Moreover, the development of the navy is also very rapid. In addition to the original Nanjing Shipyard and Ningbo Shipyard, with the pacifing of the south, the coastal shipyards of China and North Korea have developed very rapidly in the past two years. Large shipyards have sprung up in the coastal area like bamboo shoots. These shipyards have been officially invested and built. Shipyards, and a large number of private people have invested in the construction of factories, making China's seriously shrinking shipbuilding industry seem to be rejuvenated overnight. A large number of sea ships have been built by shipyards all over the country and put into operation.

These ships not only have a large number of fishing boats, but also many large cargo ships. Xiao Tianjian also deliberately guides shipyards around the country, imitates Western-style sailboats, or guides boatmen from all over the world to find ways to combine the advantages of Chinese and Western sailboats to build new Chinese and Western-style ships to change the backwardness of Chinese-made sailboats. The situation.

The navy has also benefited a lot from this. In addition to the delivery of large splint ships one after another to them, they have also recruited more and more sailors. In addition to them, even the Maritime Trading Group has also purchased many new large sailboats to put into operation, the whole coast of China's coast. Trade has also begun to flourish.

After the navy's strength expanded, it began to cruise at sea. The scattered islands in the coastal area have become the key targets of the navy's patrol. A number of pirates were wiped out by the navy, which also made a number of pirates also see that in the future, they still want to rely on the sea as before. The days of plunder and robbery are gone forever, so many pirates have to land. Either they are honest and accept the resettlement to the farmers, or they are selected to serve in the navy as a soldier, or they go to the Haishang Group to apply as sailors. After a year, the coastal area has plagued Daming the pirates for hundreds of years. It has been controlled to a large extent.

The development of maritime trade has also brought huge returns to China and North Korea quickly. The export of a large number of materials has not only brought back huge profits to the people, but also allowed the customs of China and North Korea to obtain a large number of tariffs. The maritime trading group has made a lot of money. As the largest shareholder, the Greater China Dynasty is naturally profitable. Most of all, in this year, the profits obtained by Haimao alone basically satisfied the cost of the war in Liaodong.

If this is not the case, the Dazhong Dynasty brazenly launched such a large-scale battle in Liaodong, and I'm afraid that the country would be bankrupt in those years. This is also the confidence of Xiao Tianjian who dares to mobilize so many materials and troops to invest in the battlefield in Liaodong.

Another advantage is that with the development of maritime trade, it has also driven the development of many local economies. Westerners' favorite Chinese products are raw silk, satin, porcelain, tea, lacquerware, paper and other products. With the rapid development of maritime trade in the past two years, the output of export products in various places has been driven.

The silk industry has driven the silkworm breeding industry, as well as the development of the silk industry and the textile industry. A large number of textile workshops have been built by merchants, and many textile workers and silkworm farmers have been absorbed, which has improved the lives of many people.

And porcelain, tea and other industries have also begun to develop significantly. In the past, they had to secretly deal with smuggling, and they were often hindered by the government and various exploitation. Nowadays, China and North Korea are implementing a new customs and tax system, as long as they pay taxes and obey the management of the Maritime Trade Group, and foreigners If they also want their products, they can continue to produce and supply them to the Sea Trade Group for export.

This also absorbs a considerable amount of idle human resources, which plays a good role in stabilizing the society, so that the floating people in many places have been resettled and can make a living. As long as they eat and have clothes, the people naturally do not want to risk of losing their heads and become thieves. In this way, the chaos in various places is also It gradually stabilized.

In addition, the armies in various parts of the mainland are also strengthening the suppression of small groups of bandits in various places. A number of bandits who are traveling in the local area have become more and more difficult to survive under the encirclement and suppression of the military and civilians. In addition, a small number of bandits are constantly being wiped out by the large and medium-sized army. In addition, the government governments in various places have posted notices to inform all local thieves to surrender immediately. It can be blameless and resettled. Therefore, some of the thieves went out of the mountains and forests and surrendered to the government. In this way, the bandits in various places on land also began to gradually decrease a lot. In the fourth year of Tianyuan, only the big battlefield in Liaodong was left.

In addition, I would like to mention the use of troops in Yunnan. Under the auspices of Li Shuanzhu, 20,000 elite troops from Sichuan and Yunnan were mobilized to enter northern Myanmar and launched a war against the Kingdom of Myanmar. At first, the king of Myanmar tried to resist, but their indigenous army encountered the Dazhong army, even if it was a mess. Tu, after a year, the expeditionary force has continuously penetrated into the northern part of Myanmar. According to Xiao Tianjian's requirements, Li Shuanzhu did not dare to **, but adopted a steady strategy. After conquering the land, he built a fortress and immigrated from Yunnan and Sichuan to these places for cultivation. It was clear that he did not plan to go back.

So this year, the expeditionary force sent by Li Shuanzhu went hundreds of miles north of Myanmar and attacked the southern part of the Kingdom of Myanmar step by step, which also fell into panic in Myanmar.

For this reason, some people in the Burmese royal group proposed to hand over the Yongli Emperor to the Dazhong Dynasty in exchange for the withdrawal of the Dazhong Dynasty. At the same time, they will take a vassal to the Dazhong Dynasty and accept the title of the Dazhong Dynasty. In the future, they will be the vassal state of the Dazhong Dynasty in exchange for the peace of their Burma Kingdom in the future.

However, the King of Burma refuses to be soft. For this reason, there has been a momentum in China. Some royal family members want to secretly kill the current King of Burma, and the Kingdom of Burma may fall into a civil war at any time.

It is said that Emperor Yongli's life in Myanmar is also very difficult now. He is imprisoned in a small place by the Burmese army. It is nominally for protection, but in essence, it is equivalent to being imprisoned. He eats and drinks very little, and can't even eat enough. In short, the kingdom of Myanmar is now because of the affairs of Yongli. There is civil strife at the beginning, and I don't think it will take long to solve this matter.

After Xiao Tianjian learned the news, he immediately asked the personnel of the Special Affairs Office to find a way to sneak into the Kingdom of Myanmar, contact those who tried to rebel, and ordered the Ministry of Household to allocate a special fund to the Special Affairs Office to provide the opponent of the current King of Myanmar, that is, the younger brother of the King of Myanmar, to expand his power. Next Step by step, carry out the rebellion.

This kind of thing has long been used as a means in later countries. At present, when the Great China and North Korea look around the world, it is a superpower. Of course, Xiao Tianjian does not want to see a government hostile to China in neighboring countries. The current King of Myanmar is obviously a former sympathizer. Then he is also the enemy of the Great China DPRK, which is completely not in line with the future interests of the DPRK, so it is necessary to eliminate it.

But Xiao Tianjian is also very clear that it is not until the time when he can fight hard. It is impossible for the large and medium-sized troops to send more troops to conquer Myanmar. Moreover, the terrain of Myanmar is complex and there are many mountains and forests. It is unrealistic to completely destroy the Kingdom of Myanmar by force at least in a short time, even if it can be solved by force. The King of Burma, I'm afraid that the Great China and North Korea will have to invest at least 100,000 troops into Burma. Whether it is human or material, the Great Central Dynasty can't afford it at the time.

So he decided to adopt the method of later generations, let the enemy fight on their own, secretly support the opponents of a Burmese king, let them overthrow the current Burmese king, and support a pro-China new Burmese king, which is in line with the practical interests of the current Great China and North Korea.

In addition, the maritime power of China and North Korea is booming. Xiao Tianjian's appetite is not only satisfied with expanding exports. His next step is to promote the maritime power of China and North Korea to develop in a further direction. His recent goal is, of course, he also chose India, and now in India, the Dutchman, Xiban The Ya people, the Portuguese and the British have all intervened. If China and North Korea want to find a place in India in the future, it is very important here in Myanmar. At least they can first build a port in Myanmar and serve as a bridgehead for the next step to enter India. Therefore, it is better to send troops to smash Myanmar. It is better to set up a pro-China regime in Myanmar first. It is more in line with the future interests of China and North Korea.

The cabinet ministers also think it is a good idea for this idea put forward by Xiao Tianjian. Now, because Yong Li's large-scale use of troops in Myanmar, it is obvious that the cabinet ministers are very worried that Xiao Tianjian will do such an irrational thing in anger. Now Xiao Tianjian proposes to secretly support the brother of the king of Myanmar to fight for power, which is obviously It costs much less than fighting a big battle, so without saying a word, the Ministry of Household allocated 200,000 dragon coins to let the special affairs office be responsible for this matter. At the same time, Zheng Zhilong of the sea trade group also sent two new large splint boats to Myanmar by sea to help the special affairs office carry out this task.
