In fact, this was not the emperor's first creation, but the practices of a certain country.

The soldiers followed the merchants in the army and sold their goods into money. The soldiers were happy, and the merchants also made money. This was the best of both worlds.

Of course, specific matters must be discussed before they can be implemented, but the emperor affirmed and agreed with this approach.

As for food and wages, it is equivalent to the basic salary of the soldiers. Of course, it will not be invalidated or deducted due to the introduction of this new policy.

Only then did Xiong Tingbi fully understand that it was not the emperor who wanted to save military salaries, but to give the soldiers more money. In this case, the court seemed to have to invest more.

After pondering for a while, Xiong Tingbi bowed and said, "Long live the wisdom of the wise. I think I can try it in the southwest first. After the victory of Liaodong and the northwest, there will be rewards from the court, so there is no need to rush to implement it. I am worried that the motivation will be too great, and I am afraid that the border will provoke the border."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Xiong Qing is considerate and I agree very much."

As he said that, the emperor stood up and called Xiong Tingbi to the side hall, talked about the latest arrangements of the army in Yunnan, and put flags on the sand table.

The current military strength of Yunnan is not worse than when it was exterminated by the Shean rebels. There were heavy troops stationed in Kunming, Yongchang, Chuxiong and other important places, completely suppressing the chieftains.

The front-line base for the attack on Myanmar is located in Tengchong, and there are now 5,000 Ming troops. When the military operation is officially launched, the main attacking force will reach 15,000, and there will be more than 30,000 chieftains to assist in the war.

The attacking troops on the other side of the route are called the right wing. Five thousand Ming troops are in charge, with more than 10,000 local soldiers. They will march from Gengma into the Myanmar territory and form a joint attack with the main attacking troops.

The troops are strong, although the combat effectiveness of the local soldiers is worse; they are well-equipped, and there are more than 300 large and small cannons alone.

If you want to fight, do your best, and don’t give Myanmar any chance like a tiger fighting a rabbit.

"Myanmar is weak and the Mang clan is no longer as brave as it was back then. There should be no problem with our army's victory." Xiong Tingbi explained to the emperor while planting a flag, "The task of the main attacking force is to enter Myanmar from Tong Iron Pass to defeat the main force of the Burmese army."

After pausing, Xiong Tingbi continued: "The right-wing army will enter Myanmar from Gengma, which will be three days later than the main force. It will not only monitor the Lao Xuanwei Envoy Department, but also make the Burmese Army make mistakes in the initial judgment..."

Laos Xuanwei Envoy Department, the 800-Daughter-in-law State... were once vassals of the Ming Empire. Myanmar now has no time to change its territory and return to its current state, which is a temporary dependence on Myanmar.

Therefore, the possibility of daring to take the initiative to fight the Ming army is very small. With the restraint of the right-wing Ming army, it basically does not pose a threat to the main attacking troops.

But the emperor did not intend to let these swaying vassals go.

Moreover, will the chieftains of Yunnan Province send troops to help the war not give benefits? Whether it is money or land, these fences must pay the price or even be destroyed.

The Myanmar army may have the advantage in terms of number of personnel, but it has already lagged behind in weapons and equipment. Moreover, because there has been no war for a long time, its combat power is even less than that of the Ming army.

"I heard that the dojut pagodas in Myanmar are covered with gold." Xiong Tingbi secretly glanced at the emperor and said, "The Burmese royal family is even richer. If they can attack Awa, the capture will be even richer."

The emperor laughed, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Investment is greater than gain, so that it is called losing troops and depriving the military, and consuming the people and causing money. I will not do it."

After pausing, the emperor continued, "Mang's family is unrighteous and has a great desire. My Ming Dynasty royal army launched an army to attack, which is also to rescue the Burmese people from water and fire."

Xiong Tingbi nodded vigorously and agreed continuously.
