Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 451
When the soldiers stationed in the Daming Global Fleet went ashore and began to do some training in the barracks in Yangon, Bai Mingxiu returned to his flagship battleship Fuqiang.What he brought back was a neither thick nor thin plan from Wu Min, the ambassador of comfort.

It took Bai Mingxiu two full hours to finish reading the plan without missing a single word, and he didn't even drink a sip of water during the reading process.

When he put down the plan, Bai Mingxiu could only sigh with emotion: "Wu Min's heart is really too big. If there is no such a coercive emperor like me, I am afraid that this guy can become the hero of the party."

What is written in this plan is exactly how to annex the Bengal region of the Mughal Empire, and it is even more than that. Wu Min even mentioned many things including regional economic integration, industrial development, and even the geopolitical structure of Ming Dynasty. Some benefits to the overall economy of the empire.

In short, Wu Min wanted to use the Burmese Propaganda Department to directly annex the Bangladesh region and create a Bangladesh-Myanmar Propaganda Department.The Bangladesh-Myanmar Consolation Division starts from West Bengal, another Indian state in the west, and includes all the northeastern states of India. In addition, Shan State and the northern Burmese territory that has been taken over by Yunnan Province are removed, forming a land area of ​​90. square kilometers, a huge Ming Dynasty Xuanweisi.

Wu Min even planned to build a high-capacity railway in the Bangladesh-Myanmar Xuanweisi to connect important cities such as Dhaka, Chittagong, Ava, and Yangon, and to connect Yunnan and Guizhou directly with the Bangladesh-Myanmar Xuanweisi. It hopes to become the first choice for the local southwestern provinces of Ming Dynasty to go to sea, instead of relying on the seaports of Guangdong and Guangxi for the export of products from southwestern provinces.

There are also some relatively drafted industrial layouts in the industrial plan, including increasing investment in the textile industry, increasing investment in the chemical industry, and carrying out in-depth processing of agricultural products, etc.If Wu Min's plan is followed, then the Meng-Myanmar Propaganda Department, which does not yet exist, may even become a very developed region, integrating with Daming's southwestern provinces into a regional economy, bringing greater benefits to Daming.

Many people may think that Wu Min is simply imagining wildly, but as a time traveler, Bai Mingxiu, who knows the context of historical development, can see that Wu Min's perception is terrifying.

A fact that may surprise many people is that from the 17th to the 19th centuries, the overall GDP of Bangladesh accounted for 12% of the world, and the wages and living standards of local workers even led the world.A textile worker in Bangladesh can live even better than a textile worker in London.At that time, Bangladesh had the reputation of being a paradise among the countries, and its industrial economy was extremely developed. The textile industry and shipbuilding industry were very leading, and even some signs of the industrial revolution began.

Of course, high GDP does not mean strong. In history, the GDP of the Qing Dynasty accounted for one-third of the world's GDP, and it was finally reduced to the bullying target of Western countries.The same is true of Bengal, which was finally directly conquered by the British East India Company.

Even in the 21st century, the Republic very much hopes to integrate Myanmar into its own economy and open up a new sea and trade channel for the southwestern provinces in the geo-economic layout. The China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline is a very strategic one. building.

Bai Mingxiu's biggest sigh is that the other Ming Dynasty Consolation Envoys and the Propaganda Office can't be said to be incompetent or incompetent. Everyone is doing their work well, and their development is better than that of Europeans. The colony is better, but Wu Min is completely ahead of the times and can create a situation by himself.

Others are doing some construction step by step and developing according to the needs, but he is going a hundred steps ahead, and then solving problems from a larger level, and then driving the development of the whole area.

Before Bai Mingxiu came to Myanmar this time, he really didn't think too much about Bangladesh. He just hoped to establish a few trading ports in India and take a look at the situation in Sri Lanka.Wu Min directly proposed the annexation of Bangladesh and the establishment of Ming's "Great Southwest Economy".

He knew that annexing Bangladesh would be a very drastic move, but if Wu Min could really integrate Bangladesh into a part of Ming Dynasty and create the so-called Bangladesh-Myanmar Propaganda Department, then Ming Dynasty would enjoy endless dividends.

"Hey, in history, the East India Company wiped out the Mughal Empire's influence in Bengal so easily. Our military strength in Ming Dynasty is much stronger than that of the East India Company. This military operation should not be difficult."

Bai Mingxiu quickly ordered the fleet's staff to start formulating a battle plan. The entire battle plan was based on the garrison troops, supplemented by the Burmese Fan Army, although the Burmese Fan Army had more troops.

Brothers Gao Ning and Li Wan didn't live in the barracks for a day, and then they were called to hold an officer meeting. The officers of the clan thought it was very interesting.

"Every one of them is like being beaten with chicken blood." Li Wan said in a low voice. He has fought a lot of battles, from Huguang to Suncheon, and even went to North Korea to quell the chaos. He is not very interested in a battle of this scale. .

Gao Ning said: "I have known a few comrades here that the local ethnic officers in the Burmese Fan Army have a good martial spirit, and they are more eager for honor and promotion. This is probably the reason."

On the stage is a senior colonel who looks very generous. This senior colonel is called Qian Erlang. He is a non-commissioned officer of the US Army Infantry Company in World War II. He, Qian Erlang, also changed from a non-commissioned officer to a senior colonel.

"Comrades, we have received a new order from the Global Fleet Command. We are about to send troops to Bangladesh to completely wipe out the reactionary forces of the Mughal Empire that continue to invade our borders and protected areas! The command has already made a direct landing across the sea, strike The enemy's unprepared strategy. We received an order to use the independent brigade of the garrison force and the main force of the three brigades of the Burmese Fan Army to take a troop carrier directly from the mouth of the Yarlung Zangbo River to capture its capital Dhaka. Our mission is Completely control the Bangladesh area and wipe out all enemies who dare to provoke. This officer meeting is a mobilization meeting for everyone. I hope that after you go back, you will mobilize your comrades in your troops. We don't have too long to prepare. Three days later We're about to go."

Li Wan said to Gao Ning in surprise, "It's so urgent."

"Quick battle and quick decision. I'm afraid Commander Wang doesn't want to delay the battle for too long. After all, we are here to sail around the world, not to be thugs."
