The local people were suddenly attacked and were completely unprepared. They were caught off guard by the Touo people.

Everyone was awakened by the sound of killing and screams, rushed out of the tent, and was shot down by the oncoming Dongyu people. Only a few people rolled out of the camp and crawled into the forest.

"Stop chasing!" General Dongxu shouted, "Kill all the rest."

The ruthless killing was coming to an end. A fire broke out on the tents in the construction site, and the ground was filled with leaders of dead local people, broken walls, and bloody limbs.

The people of Dongyu threw the bodies into the fire, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

At this time, a large group of Dongzhao waved their hoes and dug open the repaired official road. The road was dug up and piled up high soil to destroy the official road.

At 10:00 on the dawn, the Ming army and nearby local soldiers rushed over.

The soldiers and local people saw the messy camps all over the ground, the burnt corpses, and the destroyed official roads, and the people of Dongyu had retreated back to the deep mountains.

Dongyu Kingdom, Ava City.

King Dongyu raised his wine glass and laughed to everyone to drink: "The Ming people thought that I could be bullied, so this time they let them know that Dongyu was not a soft persimmon that they could knead casually."

In the main hall, the minister of the Zhou State to Dongyu, Doni raised his wine glass and smiled and said, "The Ming people are arrogant and arrogant, thinking that they can cover the sky with one hand, and everyone in the world must obey their orders and breathe. They do not know that the world is so great that they can have the final say. Now, when we form an alliance between Zhou and England, Dongyu, we must let the Ming people know that the world is not the world of one day."

"Not bad! Our Three Kingdoms Alliance, the Ming Dynasty could not do anything to us." Dongxu Wang Baimang agreed deeply, as if he had found an organization, and felt extremely at ease in his heart.

Doni picked up the wine glass and continued to instigate King Dongyu, "The king can rest assured that the alliance is set. Once the Ming Dynasty sends troops, the Great Zhou and England will immediately send troops to participate in the war directly, and assist a large number of military funds to assist Dongyu in the war."

With this, Dongxu Wang Baimang felt confident and immediately called everyone to drink together, and the atmosphere was very warm.

1664, New Year.

Zhao Ming feasted all the ministers in Nanjing and many envoys. It was announced that the Ming Dynasty began to implement the new policy and proposed the first five-year plan.

In heavy industry, the Ming Dynasty wanted to double the output of iron, coal, copper, etc., and in education, the literacy rate should be increased by 10%, and progress should be made in many miscellaneous studies such as arithmetic and nature.

The Ming Dynasty announced a plan that amazed the envoys of various countries, which made all vassal states extremely admired. A dynasty that was like the Tang Dynasty and even greater than the Tang Dynasty was about to arrive.

At this time, in a peaceful atmosphere, a team of cavalry rushed from the southwest.

The flags on the backs of the cavalry were inserted behind them, letting the gatekeepers know that it was the highest level of the border and they hurriedly made people retreat and dared not stop them.

The cavalry rushed into the city, turned over and dismounted in front of the Army Department's yamen, then rushed to the yamen, kneeling on one knee, carrying the message behind him, "The southwest promptly reported, the military situation is urgent."

The officer guarding the yamen took the message and hurried into the inside to report.

Nanjing, the regent's mansion.

Gu Yanwu led several officials and hurried into the royal palace under the leadership of the guards.

At this time, Zhao Ming had just had breakfast, changed his public uniform, and was about to go to the cabinet to ask about politics. When he saw the group coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm about to go to the cabinet, why did Mr. Gu come first?"

Gu Yanwu bowed and said, "I have an urgent matter."

Zhao Ming sat down in the lobby, greeted Gu Yanwu and others, and asked the maid to serve tea, "Oh, what's the matter? I'm so anxious."

Gu Yanwu quoted an urgent report and submitted it to Zhao Ming: "The Regent was an urgent report in the southwest. He rushed the people in the east to leap to the territory, killed our road construction workers, and destroyed the official road."

Zhao Ming frowned slightly, but this is actually not an urgent matter. The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory and friction with foreign enemies on the border is indispensable.

Not long ago, in Xing'an, the Ming army clashed with the Rakshasa people, and both sides died. In Mongolia, Mongolia in the south of the desert and Mongolia in the north of the desert, there were large-scale conflicts, killing and wounding nearly a thousand people.

Gu Yanwu saw Zhao Ming's doubts and added: "According to the Yunnan Governor Beating News, the reason why the people of Dongyu dared to cross the line and killed our road building civilians was because they had obtained the support of Zhou and Yingjili. According to the news that the Military Information Department returned to Kunming, at the end of last year, Dongyu and Zhou and Yingjili signed alliances one after another, intending to fight against the Ming Dynasty together."

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows, "Where is Wu Sangui and Britain allied with Dongxu?"

"It should be true!" Gu Yanwu said: "If it were not for the support of Zhou and Britain, Dongxu would not dare to provoke him."

Zhao Ming Wenyu stood up, paced back and forth in the hall, and asked, "What do you think Mr. Gu?"

Gu Yanwu said in a deep voice: "It should be that Zhou State learned that our Ming Dynasty attacked Dongxu for the purpose of attacking Zhou, so he formed an alliance with Dongxu."

Zhao Ming believed that the Ming Dynasty's national strength was stronger than the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but in the southwest region, due to the terrain and climate restrictions, the Ming Dynasty's advantages were not necessarily able to exert, and it was really not possible to overwhelm the Three Kingdoms Alliance.

This situation is undoubtedly something that Zhao Ming doesn't want to see. "It seems that Wu Sangui wants to use Dongshuo to hold me back."

Gu Yanwu said: "Wu Sangui realized that the regent had the intention to attack Zhou, so he would definitely make every effort to reinforce Dongxu and drag the Ming Dynasty to Dongxu, while he would develop with peace of mind and accumulate strength. If the war lasted for a long time and our Ming Dynasty was tired, Wu Sangui would accumulate energy, but the result might not be conducive to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Ming was silent for a moment and made up his mind to say, "The Ming Dynasty must take action and defeat them before the Three Kingdoms are ready. Now, although Wu Sangui and Dongxu have formed an alliance, Wu Sangui has just established a country in South Asia. Domestic affairs must have not been completely resolved, and the foundation is not stable enough to truly provide much assistance to Dongxu. The people from the East and West crossed the border and destroyed the official road, which is also to delay our preparations and delay the Ming Dynasty's attack."

Gu Yanwu said: "Your Highness's intention, launch an attack immediately!"

Zhao Ming nodded, "Can we gather troops and horses, claim to recover the Western Regions, distract Wu Sangui's attention, delay Zhou's reinforcements to Dongxu, and let Zhou's army's attention and supplies go to the Western Regions. At the same time, the court secretly dispatched troops to the southwest and Siam, and sent a navy to Malacca, preparing to advance along the water and land, and blitz at Dongxu."

Gu Yanwu nodded when he heard this and asked, "Would you like to send an envoy to condemn Dongxu and cross the border to destroy the official road."
