"King Burma! There is a king in Burma. As long as the commander instructs the King of Burma to hand over the people, he will not dare to disobey even if he gives the King of Burma 10,000 courages.

After all, he still wants to be his king safely."

After Zu Chengxun finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Of course they knew that if something happened, they would go to the King of Myanmar. But...

But after the damn King of Burma, why does the Ming Dynasty still need to send troops? If I don’t send troops, where will I get my military exploits?

How much money you spend or how many people die is none of my business. What I want is military glory, military glory, military glory!

Without military merit, how can I get promoted and make a fortune?

If you take care of me, you will be laughed to death. A man's military exploits can only be counted if he fights with real swords and guns.

Li Xiao saw the reaction in everyone's eyes.

"You little bastards, you don't care about anything for military glory.

If you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, I’ll give them away.” Li Xiao slapped the table and roared, and the group of dandies immediately disappeared.

Although they are all the top dudes of the Ming Dynasty, in front of Li Xiao, they are not even considered scum.

"Zu Chengxun, you stay." Among the people who filed out, Li Xiao stayed alone with Zu Chengxun.

Zu Chengxun stayed a little uneasy, as his words just now offended his colleagues. When the commander asked them to go out, Zu Chengxun's heart went cold.

Now that Li Xiao is keeping him, it seems that this move is the right one.

"What you just said is right, sometimes wars also have to be calculated.

Asking the King of Myanmar to hand over the people is a good idea. But! Indochina still needs our strength, otherwise, no one will respect us.

Our Liao army originated from Liaodong.

For many years, the people in the Liao army were either from Liaodong, Shandong or Hebei. There were very few people from other provinces. Although we fought on the plains, our Liao army was invincible.

But fighting in mountainous areas like northern Myanmar is really not what our army is good at.

I want to set up a mountain division in Yunnan, with the division headquarters temporarily set in Kunming. The soldiers will be settled in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. As for officers, you can choose people from the fourth division.

But I prefer that you train them yourself in Yunnan. After all, the officers in our current army are more adapted to fighting in the plains rather than in the mountains.

Two years ago, a martial arts hall was started in Yunnan. Now the students there are about to graduate. I think there are people you need there." Li Xiao smoked a cigar and said to Zu Chengxun slowly.

"Commander, you mean...that I will be the commander of the Mountain Division?" Zu Chengxun couldn't believe this was true, according to Li Xiao's statement.

The establishment and equipment of the Mountain Division will definitely not be that of a local security army. Instead, it will be an army that can be dispatched at any time to fight in Burma, Cochin, or Siam.

Moreover, according to the Ming Dynasty's habit of organizing and training the army, when a new military branch is born, a small-scale army will often be established first.

After sufficient drills and actual combat testing, the military expansion will begin.

For example, Zu Kuan and Cao Bianjiao, their two tank regiments returned home after a year and a half of training and the Battle of Tashkent.

It has only been more than a month and the news has already come out.

Their two tank regiments will be expanded into two armored divisions.

It is said that this kind of armored division not only has tanks, but also more self-propelled artillery. The accompanying infantry are also armored infantry riding armored vehicles.

As for Zu Chengxun and Cao Bianjiao, their statuses naturally increased. From regimental commanders, they suddenly became division commanders.

Now the mountain division is organized and trained, and a division is established in one fell swoop. Then the scale of the organization in the future...!

Zu Chengxun was a little unimaginable, and it seemed that it was worthwhile to go out and speak out this time.

"Yes! If you serve as the commander of the mountain division, you must actively explore mountain warfare, especially jungle warfare. Just report to me what kind of weapons you need.

I will ask the Ministry of War to get it done for you, what do you think? Do you have any ideas?"

"I will surely make a good mountain division and live up to your training, Commander-in-Chief." Zu Chengxun stood at attention and saluted, his face flushed with excitement.

"Let me tell you something. Not long ago, an underground passage was dug in Mumbai. Several corpses were found there. Judging from the relics, one of them was Wu Sangui!

Although Wu Sangui is said to have renounced his ancestors, you are cousins. After his bones are returned, you can hand them over to Wu Xiang."

"Commander...!"

Walking out of the Marshal's Mansion, Zu Chengxun didn't feel happy at all.

"How is it? How is it?" As soon as he left the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, two bastards, Cao Bianjiao and Zu Kuan, surrounded him.

"What's going on?" Zu Chengxun looked at these two guys feebly.

"Brothers don't hesitate to pretend to be fools to help you. Tell me, what did the commander-in-chief say? He didn't send you to Burma?" Cao Bianjiao came over in a mean manner, and put his foul mouth next to Zu Chengxun's ear.

"No!" Zu Chengxun replied coldly and climbed into a military green carriage.

"No?" Cao Bianjiao and Zu Kuan looked at each other and hurriedly climbed into the carriage.

Among the brothers in the same period, only Zu Chengxun was still a member of the regiment.

The Liao Army's military merits were the most important, but Zu Chengxun was responsible for logistics during the Tashkent campaign.

There is Mao’s military exploits in logistics that can be reaped!

We had no choice but to come up with such an idea. But we didn't expect that after Zu Chengxun finished talking with the commander, he would actually come out like this.

He got into the carriage with confusion and looked at Zu Chengxun with four eyes, as if there were flowers on his face.

"Let me go to Kunming to form a mountain division. I will be the division commander!" Zu Chengxun said lightly.

"I've never heard of the Mountain Division. It specializes in mountain operations? Is that considered a security force or a field force?"

"Mountain troops are, of course, field divisions. Have you ever heard of mountain warfare in the city? You can do it!"

"Holy shit! You kid, I thought you were reprimanded. I'm in for a treat!"

"Yes! Dong Laishun, I want Maotai for wine." Zu Kuan, who always rarely talks, immediately made the request and detailed the wine for the banquet.

"Wu Sangui is dead!" Zu Chengxun followed again.

"What?" Zu Kuan and Cao Bianjiao were a little confused. They didn't understand why the topic suddenly came to Wu Sangui.

"Wu Sangui's body was dug out of a tunnel in Mumbai. He wanted to escape from Mumbai, but he didn't expect that the bomb collapsed the tunnel and he was buried inside.

In the past few years, someone was digging tunnels and dug him out.

The commander-in-chief wants me to bring the bones back and give them to Wu Xiang. Who knows that he is my cousin!"

"Holy shit! I'm telling you, buddy, this matter can be big or small. At this time, let's talk about Wu Sangui.

What do you mean?"

Zu Kuan shook his head: "I don't know what the fuck it means."

"I guess the commander-in-chief wants to take advantage of it. The mountains in Kunming are high and the emperor is far away. And the power of the Mu family is there!"

"The Mu family? Their family is nothing! If you dare to have any evil intentions, my brothers will go to Yunnan and cut him into pieces."

Zu Chengxun sighed: "When my father was alive, he said that the Fourth Division was not reused because of Wu Sangui.

Now it seems that the commander-in-chief still hates this incident very much.

You said my father was the same, why did he marry my aunt to Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, that bastard, I wish I could crush him to ashes."

"I'm talking about Zu Chengxun, he is your cousin. He is a bastard, you...!"

"That's what I said. How can it be true?"

The carriage drove all the way to Donglaishun!

Li Xiao gave an order to the Burmese king, who almost peed his pants when he saw it.

These bastards in Mandalay are causing trouble. They can abandon Mandalay and live in the mountains. But as the king of Burma, he doesn't want to go to the mountains.

If you don't follow the orders of the Ming Marshal, then prepare to meet the Ming army.

Between the Tiger and Wolf Division of the Ming Dynasty and those mud-legged warriors in Mandalay, the Burmese king decisively decided to send troops to northern Myanmar to kill those mud-legged warriors who were causing trouble!

Originally this was just a small matter, but the Burmese king dispatched an army of 50,000 people. With the blessing of war elephants, it shouldn't be a problem to kill those guys in northern Burma.

Li Xiao thought the same way. He waited in the capital for the Burmese king to win a great victory, and then sent carloads of heads to the Ming Dynasty to relieve the anger of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the Burmese king's 50,000-strong army was almost wiped out in the mountains of northern Burma. Even a dozen war elephants were killed.

What Li Xiao was waiting for was not a load of apologies from the Burmese king, but a letter asking for help.

Because those mud-legged people in northern Myanmar have begun to march towards Naypyitaw. If they cannot be stopped, the whole of Myanmar will fall into their hands.

This left Li Xiao a little confused as to how those guerrillas suddenly became so powerful.

"Commander, something is wrong with the situation in northern Burma. Not only do they have a lot of rifles, but they also have machine guns. They even used anti-aircraft guns to shoot down the Burmese king's war elephant." Luzhu stood in Li Xiao's office and handed

Give Li Xiao a report.

Li Xiao looked through the report, which listed the weapons that appeared in northern Myanmar one by one.

Rifles and grenades. This kind of thing is still within Li Xiao's expectation. After all, these things are not particularly difficult to obtain now.

Especially things like rifles, which are made by the Russians, Prussians, British, French and several European countries.

Now these gadgets have been sold all over the world.
