In the 22nd year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun led the army to destroy the Dongyu Dynasty. Out of the need to develop himself, he half-lured and half-forced his former allies, the Meng tribe of Myanmar, to move to the southern part of the Chittagong district in Bangladesh.
In order to ensure that these guys would not return to Myanmar and cause harm to his own construction, he built the military city of Pingxi in the current location of Mengdu. About 2,000 soldiers were stationed there for a long time.
In the 24th year of Wanli, after the reorganization of the Zhennan Army, this garrison task was guarded by the four battalions of the Zhennan Army infantry in turn. Each battalion stayed for half a year.
In order to ensure the stability of the traffic from Bogu to Pingxi, Xiao Ruxun specially recruited 30,000 prisoners of war to build a road to ensure the smoothness of the road and the instantaneous transmission of information.
There were several military cities like Pingxi in the central and northern parts of Myanmar. They were all expedient measures that Xiao Ruxun thought of to control the territory under the premise that it could not be inhabited and developed.
But even if it was expedient measures, it could not be done recklessly. Xiao Ruxun was deeply aware of this. So when choosing a place to settle the Meng tribe, Xiao Ruxun chose the Chittagong district. At this moment, there was a small unified dynasty in this area, the Arakan Dynasty.
This dynasty was in the same heyday as the Mughal Dynasty in the far west. Of course, this small country could be easily cleaned up by the current Myanmar town.
The only one who could compete with the Daming was Akbar of the Mughal Dynasty. Akbar's rule had entered the late stages, and he still had seven or eight years to live. But at this moment, the Mughal Dynasty was something that Xiao Ruxun did not want to provoke.
However, not provoking them did not mean that they would not be vigilant and would not guard against them. The idiots of Arakan sent Portuguese mercenaries to participate in the war in the process of invading the Great Ming Dynasty.
Among the Portuguese mercenaries that Xiao Ruxun destroyed, there were Portuguese mercenaries from the Arakan Dynasty. When Xiao Ruxun found out about this, he directly blacklisted the Arakan Dynasty.
So the place where the Meng tribe migrated was chosen.
With the large-scale migration of the Meng tribe, the Arakan King, Mingyeshoki, was very unlucky. At that time, the area where the Meng tribe migrated was still uninhabited. Although it belonged to Arakan, there were only a few natives living there. They were easily killed by the Meng tribe and occupied.
Under the military threat of the Ming army, the Meng tribe continued to expand their living space in the north. Finally, they violated the core interests of the Arakan Dynasty. Therefore, the king of Arakan began to organize an army to fight against the Meng tribe, trying to expel the Meng tribe from his country.
However, with the help of the Ming army's guns and cannons, and even the military command, Arakan's military operations were all defeated by the Meng tribe. Their military strength was greatly reduced, and they no longer dared to fight with the Meng tribe. Reluctantly, they were forced to admit that the Meng tribe occupied the southern coastal area.
However, with the help of some guns and cannons from the Ming Army, and even military command, Arakan's military operations were defeated by the Meng tribe. They lost a lot of military power and did not dare to fight with the Meng tribe. They were forced to admit the Meng tribe's occupation of the southern coastal area.
Mingyeshoki gradually learned that the Meng tribe had a big backer behind them. It seemed to be a big backer, but he did not know the specifics. Mingyeshoki did not want to take back his territory through peaceful means.
It was just that with a big backer, Mingyeshoki had to deal with it carefully. While restricting the Meng tribe from continuing to move north, he sped up to arm his own firearms troops and recruited more Portuguese to help fight.
In the end, they managed to recruit some, but in every battle, these Portuguese died the fastest and the most. Many of them were shot in the head and died. Gradually, the Portuguese did not dare to be employed by Mingye Soki, and Mingye Soki completely fell into decline.
The people of the Meng Clan were steadily advancing their living space, but they were also becoming more and more dissatisfied with Xiao Ruxun's tough policies. They had to constantly fight for their living space, while the Meng Clan was developing rapidly. In the past, the people who did business all praised Xiao Ruxun's territory for its good development. Naturally, there would be people who were unhappy. Once the jealousy set in, they couldn't go back down.
Slowly, the Meng tribe and Mingyeshoki reached a consensus. The Meng tribe no longer went north, and Mingyeshoki no longer organized troops to go south. The Meng tribe tried to go south and east to return to their original homes, but the south was blocked by Pingxi City. The mountains and harsh terrain in the east also limited their expansion.
This situation gradually turned into anger, and the Meng tribe became more and more dissatisfied. They were more and more dissatisfied with Xiao Ruxun's Zhennan Army, and more and more wanted to return to their original homes.
The harassment directed at Pingxi City grew more and more frequent.
After this was discovered, Xiao Ruxun began to arrange for the war at Luzon, and then used the preaching rights as bait to lure Alexander and Ricci here to spread their religion. He wanted to disrupt them from the inside, and then he would have an excuse to send troops.
Now, this excuse had been obtained.
Xiao Ruxun did not care what the King of Arakan, Mingyeshoki, thought of this war. In any case, he would destroy the Meng tribe. As for the Arakan Dynasty, he was not interested. Arakan was the only buffer between Burma Town and the Mughal Empire. If he destroyed Arakan, wouldn't he have to face the Mughal Empire?
Xiao Ruxun was not prepared for a war with the Mughal Empire. He was just a military town, and the Mughal Empire was a large empire. This was not very rational.
As for what Akbar was thinking, Xiao Ruxun naturally did not have time to care. But thinking about it, Akbar was old and should be more concerned about the issue of an heir. Sending troops on a large scale should not be his first choice. Otherwise, he would not have left a small country like Arakan untouched.
He was probably out of energy.
This gave Xiao Ruxun the confidence to play some tricks under Akbar's nose.
Of course, this was not a trick.
On the 30th of March in the 26th year of Wanli, the main force of the Zhennan Army was on parade in Bogu, which was also Nanan City.
In this battle, Yuan Huang, as Xiao Ruxun's military advisor and the head of the government office, personally took command. He led the 50,000 Zhennan Army against the Meng tribe. They had to win, they had to win, to lay the foundation for future development.
Yuan Huang keenly sensed that something was coming. He needed to prepare everything before that happened. When Xiao Ruxun needed him, he would be able to give Xiao Ruxun everything he needed. This way, he would not let down Xiao Ruxun's trust and arrangements.
