Chapter 113 canonization

As winter months began, the Baigu people who fled to Awa moved south again under the influence of the People's Rest notice.

This war inevitably caused Bai Gucheng to temporarily lose its status as the most prosperous city in Myanmar. For two whole months, there were only a few thousand people returning to Bai Gu.

"People are worried that there will be another war here, and they would rather live in the jungle than return here." Lao Pingtuo said, pushing the glasses on his nose, and he started to move more small movements in his hand, and asked Chen Mu carefully: "General, because the two marshals in the north attacked too fast, our mercenaries failed to turn against each other. Is your promise still valid?"

Chen Mu didn't know what his foreign aide was nervous about, so he asked, "What promise?"

The cloudy eyes behind Pinto's glasses looked at Chen Mu carefully, trying to find out on his face whether this is the truth or the lies, and said, "The general said that if the Portuguese were willing to fight for you, you would give them the same salary from Mang Yinglong and guarantee that they still have the power to have the Burmese wife."

It seems that Pinto has obtained information that Chen Mu doesn't know.

Chen Mu had a difficult expression, raised his hand and pointed at the durian that was about to be opened in front of Pingto, and said, "If you decide not to eat it now and let someone move this stinky thing out, I think there is still something to talk about."

"Although it smells very strong, it is delicious. General, you should try it." Without further ado, Lao Pingto immediately attracted the Portuguese entourage who followed him to move the huge durian out, and then he lifted Chen Mu out four fingers and said: "As far as I know, there are four mercenary groups in Myanmar that have lost their employers. They have no source of income and have to avoid the search of the Ming army. I don't want the general's subordinates to catch them and kill them."

"They were mainly composed of Portuguese, including Malays, Siamese, and Burmese and Meng people who fled everywhere during the war. If the general did not recruit them, it might affect the general's rule over here over time."

The implication is that the behavior of these people is afraid that they are the same as the chaotic army.

But it is obviously too late to talk about employment now.

"If four months ago, recruiting them would allow my brother to avoid losing his hair and beard when attacking Baigu Fortress, even if the commission was 50,000 taels of silver, I would like to do it; if two months ago, hiring them would allow General Yu's subordinates to avoid death and injury, they tied up Mang Yinglong and handed me over 50,000 taels of silver, I would like to do it; but now it is obviously not a question of whether I hire them or not."

Chen Mu leaned back on the back of the chair and gently leaned back, spreading his hands and said, "What can they do for me? What do you want from me?"

"They don't know what they can do for the general, they just want to have a job, nor do they know what they can get from the general, they just want to get protection. As the general saw, on lands close to the Ming Dynasty, there is no general in any country that can protect them better."

Lao Pingto said as he stood up, walked out of the tent tremblingly, took the Portuguese map tube and walked back, opened it in front of Chen Mu. The scroll inside was not the latest map drawn by the Ming army in Myanmar, but the map from Portugal, saying: "I just happened to know these things. For example, Alagan seemed to be unwilling to fight for the general before."

"If the generals were willing, they planned to attack Alakan. After they succeeded, they hoped that the general would protect them and recognize the independence of the Portuguese in Alakan. The Governor of Goa would provide them with help in the war. The main legions within Alakan were also controlled by the Portuguese, and the mercenary group was even more numerous, including Ming, Portuguese, Japanese, and Malays, occupying half of the military power in their country."

"If successful, the generals will get their offensive and defense assistance in the future. Although they are not as good as the general's flag guards, they have centipede ships, powerful crossbows, Franc cannons and war elephants."

Chen Mu showed a strange look on his face. The Portuguese planned to attack Alagan?

In fact, he didn't plan to take care of Alakan. Not sending troops was not a big deal, nor did it affect the situation of the war. At most, let Lin Afeng go there and make trouble in the future.

Because Alagan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, the huge Miaowu City moat is a big lake. Releasing the siege gate can flood the siege army half to death. The land it occupies cannot be called unique, it is nothing more than guarding the Bay of Bengal. Even if war is needed, it will not be too late to fight again in the future.

Chen Mu knew very well that his greatest mission was to fully promote the establishment of three levels of prefectures, counties and capitals in Baigu, Yangon, and Shenglong. He dispatched officials from the middle school and used monks and caravans to completely control the entire Myanmar from faith and economy, so as to maximize the fruits of this war.

If these are not completed, these two battles will be meaningless.

As for Alagan, it is not a threat.

But the Portuguese were determined to open up new land on the Indochina Peninsula, and reminded Chen Mu. He asked Lao Pingtuo: "These four and five mercenary groups have captured Alagan. Are they planning to include this land under the Indian Governor's District?"

"The general's conquest of Nanyang reminded the Indian Governor that they hoped that the Portuguese could obey the orders of the Governor and occupy more places bordering the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. They hoped that the mercenary group would follow the Indian Governor's area after attacking Alagan, but they came to me, hoping that the Ming Empire would protect them and allow them to live in the Alagan area and enjoy power."

It is difficult to see Pinto's position in this matter. He seems to support the mercenary group to escape from the control of the Indian Governor, and said to Chen Mu: "There is no need for the Pope's enthronement here. If the general can enthrone the Emperor of Ming, they will be grateful."

Chen Mu almost burst into laughter when he heard Lao Pingtuo say these words seriously.

Several Portuguese adventurers ran to the Indochina Peninsula to obtain a large number of cheap troops during the war, trying to attack a small country with internal and external forces, and hope to escape the jurisdiction of the Indian governor after victory. Therefore, they sought help from the Ming Dynasty, hoping to get the title of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"I don't need to enthrone the emperor. My official position and authority can be enthroned and protected. It is under the Nanyang Military Office, the Central and Southern Command Command and the two guards. The local land and minerals are half used as salary, and the other half is handed over to the Ducheng Command and Command and Command."

"The protection of the Ming Empire is not for nothing. They have to implement Chinese dialect in the local area within one year, use Chinese customs, and especially learn Mingyu well. The advantage of doing so is that when the Ming Dynasty and the Portuguese Indian Governor, they don't have to fight with me first."

Chen Mu said that, he laughed. He could not have submitted a letter to the emperor for these Portuguese people and helped them create a king. Although he submitted a letter to the court, he would definitely pass it, but he was eager for only one Ming in the world, so how could he create a country by himself?

"Let them think about it. There is not much time left, how to decide, as soon as possible."
