I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

The old man couldn't laugh or cry when he learned about it, but he still gave the reward that should be given, after all, he earned it by his ability.

However, the rewards for military achievements were changed afterwards. The rewards for the enemy soldiers remained the same, and the minting was changed to five qian. The kind that has the right to use but not the right to buy or sell.

Although the soldiers complained about this, no matter how few mosquito legs are, they are still meat, which is better than nothing.

Besides, the captives of the Three Kingdoms are really easy to catch. As long as you catch more, the rewards will go up!

Chapter 218: Without the capital of arrogance, what prestige are you playing with me!

"Come here, mother! I'm finally here!"

Jiali, the border between Ming and Burma.

Two guys dressed in rough clothes struggled to climb to the top of the mountain, panting heavily, and looked at each other with a smirk.

These two were exactly Zheng Heng and Yu Qian who were in charge of attacking from the direction of Daming.

When Zheng Heng received the order, he was very happy. He didn't have to be idle at home anymore, and finally had something to do.

After he happily led his troops to find Yu Qian, Yu Qian was dumbfounded when he heard the order.

Nima, which bastard thought of this with a slap in the face.

Building a road from Yunnan, through Burma and into Bangladesh, is there something wrong with your brain?

Yu Qian, who has been the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou for more than a year, knows the terrain here very well.

There are more mountains here than there are people he has seen. If the forests here were cut down for firewood, it would be enough for his ancestors from the generation of apes to the extinction of his descendants.

What a brain-dead person, he came up with this way of building roads.

Hearing Yu Qian's swearing at that time, Zheng Heng was still a little upset.

No matter how you say this, Yu Qian is also a member of the grandson of the Eastern Palace, or a relative of His Highness the grandson, so he has such a big opinion on how to ask him to do something, and he must talk to the grandson later, this person cannot be reused.

But after he understood the topography of Yunnan, this guy scolded him harder than Yu Qian.

Nima, isn't this a scam?

Let me fight the war, let me build roads, just kill me.

But an order is an order, no matter how much the two yell at each other, they still have to do what they should do.

Yu Qian applied to the prince, hoping to mobilize local peasants to help them build roads.

Otherwise, with the 6 or [-] people brought by Zheng Heng alone, plus the tens of thousands of people under him, it would be impossible to build this road until death.

After Zhu Pangpang learned about their situation, he also understood their difficulties very well.

If such a matter of consuming people's energy was to be put in the past, Zhu Pangpang would not agree to anything.

But today he has to agree to this matter no matter what.

But his son made it clear to him that in the future, whether he can control Ah Sanguo, which is far overseas, depends on this road.

If there is no such road, A Sanguo will drift away sooner or later by sea alone.

Besides, the old man still plans to arrange the second and third children there. If he doesn't find a way to advance quickly, Zhu Pangpang is also a little worried.

Therefore, whether it is for the country or for oneself, this road must be cultivated, no matter how difficult it is.

Coupled with the fact that the imperial court is considered rich now, it is also a good thing for the common people in Yunnan and Guizhou to earn some wages.

So Zhu Pangpang swiped his pen and approved a sum of money and food for Yu Qian and the others, asking them to recruit migrant workers and start building roads.

With the money and food, the two of them had confidence. Later, Zheng Heng felt that opening the mountain was a difficult problem. Together, the two applied for another batch of gunpowder.

Zhu Pangpang also agreed one by one, and directly transferred a batch of new gunpowder from the craftsman camp and shipped it over.

With food, money and gunpowder, the two were relieved.

Then Yu Qian launched his duties as governor, began to recruit strong men, and prepared to pave the way.

The mountain people who had just been subdued were still a little reluctant about this, feeling that the imperial court had treated them as slaves.

Yu Qian just cleaned up their chieftains, and let them build bridges and pave roads here. Isn't this typical of not treating them as human beings?

But later, I heard that when I went to work, I would give money and food, and a lot of it.

One day's work equaled their several days' harvest, and the complaints of the mountain people disappeared in an instant, and they went to sign up happily one by one.

In less than half a month, Yu Qian and Zheng Heng recruited [-] mountain people.

It has to be said that the local terrain is still familiar to the locals, and the recruited mountain people frowned when they saw the route that the imperial court asked them to build.

They are locals, so they naturally know best where there are roads and where to go, and where it is easiest to open mountain roads.

Yu Qian, who was aware of this situation, directly offered a large reward for the best route for road construction.

As soon as they heard about the money, the mountain people spoke up enthusiastically, proposing many routes that Jin Yiwei hadn't found out, and where the most fragile mountains were the best to open.

After a simple re-planning, road construction officially started.

10,000+ mountain people, plus Yu Qian and Zheng Heng's troops, the two sides merged together and worked together.

They built bridges when they encountered mountains and opened mountains and rivers, widening the hidden paths, and the roads were slowly built into shape.

The starting point of the road starts from Mengding Mansion, passes through Luchuan Pingmensi along the way, passes through Jiangtou City, and directly reaches Jiali on the Ming-Myanmar border.

"Brother Zheng, it's up to you to fight the next battle. You will fight at the front, and I will build the road behind. The two of us will work together to fix this road as soon as possible. We don't have much time left."

Zheng Heng, who observed the opposite situation with a telescope, nodded.

"Don't worry, I haven't paid much attention to the little Burmese country. Besides, we both cooperate to attack. I don't believe that these mountain monkeys can hold it!"

When the road was about to be repaired to Jiali, the two had already sent envoys to ask.

The Burmese side directly rejected Daming’s road construction, and threatened that if they wanted to build roads, they could get 5000 million taels of road construction fees first, and then give another 1000 million taels a year to take care of the road fees.

Both Zheng Heng and Yu Qian laughed at the other party's arrogant request.

The last person who dared to talk to Daming like this had already mowed down several stubbles on his grave.

In a tiny country, Daming built roads from you because of your good fortune. Not only did you not greet him respectfully, but you even opened your mouth to ask for money.

The guys from Myanmar are not only bold, but also courageous.

Seeing that Daming didn't plan to continue the conversation, and found out that the other party was building a road to Jiali, the group of mountain monkeys directly sent troops to wait on the opposite side.

A group of monarchs and ministers in Burma still thought that after defeating the Ming army, they would directly invade Daming, bite off a piece of meat from Daming, and fatten it up.

As for Daming's follow-up revenge, they didn't take it into consideration at all.

This is a mountainous area, which is their territory. They have lived here since childhood, and walking on mountain roads is even faster than walking on flat ground.

The guys from the Ming army who grew up in the plains got lost after going around the mountains a few times, let alone fighting.

It is estimated that when they launched an attack, the Ming army did not know where the enemy came from.

In the 15th year of Yongle, on February [-], the dragon raised its head.

Today is a good day, the weather is also very good, it is a good time to launch an attack.

Zheng Heng, who put on his armor, wore a large revolver on his waist, and looked at the faint figure in the opposite mountain forest with a look of contempt.

In order to fight these mountain monkeys, he begged the crown prince with all his shame, and stopped a batch of new rifles that were being sent to Ah Sanguo.

When he came here, he had seen a new gun shooting, and Zheng Heng had been coveting this kind of long-range and high-precision rifle for a long time.

When he set off, he wanted to ask the prince for a batch, but Zhu Pangpang refused.

The Three Kingdoms battlefield is now in a stalemate, and the two sides are fighting guerrillas every day.

Teams are on the wasteland one by one, either you cheat me, or I cheat you.

A new type of rifle, very suitable for crawling on the ground and making sneak attacks.

At the beginning, the first batch of 500 rifles were distributed to the troops, which played a huge role.

The Shenji Battalion team that went out, by virtue of the performance of the firearms and precise shooting skills, killed more than 300 opponents in one day.

The old man, who was surprised by the new type of gun, gave Zhu Pangpang an order that the new type of rifle must be delivered as soon as it was produced.

The old man intends to form a long-range shooting unit to specifically trap the enemy's rangers.

Zheng Heng was a little unwilling to be rejected, but this was the emperor's order, and he did not dare to disobey it.

After arriving in Yunnan-Guizhou District, after learning about the situation of the monkeys on the opposite side, Zheng Heng found that in this kind of mountainous area, it is really difficult for a group of [-] people to start a war. Small-scale mountain offensive and defensive battles are the main force in the war here.

The new rifle has a long range and good concealment performance, which can play a huge advantage in this mountainous terrain.

In order to get a batch of new guns, Zheng Heng wrote a thousand-word memorial to Zhu Pangpang, explaining the situation here, and hoped that the imperial court could support a batch of new rifles and tiger squat guns.

At the back of the memorial, he licked his old face and wrote a lot of good words, just hoping to impress Zhu Pangpang and give him the weapon.

Well, his idea worked.

This guy's ability to flatter is no worse than his ability to fight.

Zhu Pangpang's old face turned red from seeing that string of words that made one's bones go numb.

Zhu Pangpang, who was very comfortable being flattered, distributed 500 rifles and 80 tiger squat guns to Zheng Heng with a swipe of a pen. He was given 500 rounds of bullets and more than [-] rounds of tiger squat gun shells. .

Zheng Heng, who has plenty of guns, is full of confidence.

With such powerful weapons and cannons, if he couldn't take down those mountain monkeys, Zheng Heng would have no face to go back to the court, so he just died here.

"Zheng Shuai, brothers are all ready!"

An officer ran up and reported to Zheng Heng, who was observing the situation on the other side, that all the soldiers had entered the position.

Zheng Heng nodded and ordered him.

"Give me the order to fire!"

The battle started instantly, and nearly a hundred tigers crouched and fired at the opposite mountain forest.

"Ang~"

The shell exploded with a loud noise.

A howl of ghosts and wolves came from the opposite side.

Dozens of elephants, like headless flies, ran around in the forest, bumping and trampling countless mountain monkeys to death.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Heng chuckled, and after the artillery fire ceased, he gave the order to attack.

Zheng Heng's side is starting to attack, and Zhu Zhangui's side is also advancing very fast.

In just 10 days, the younger brother of the old king was captured.

During the 10-day journey, except for the old king's younger brother's royal city which resisted a bit, after the first city was breached, the others all fell on the wind.

Some Ming troops even sent letters of surrender before they arrived.

After taking down the territory of the old king's younger brother, Zhu Zhangui demoted everyone to slaves on the grounds that the people here had resisted the Ming army, and then was escorted to the rear to build roads with the gang of Asan.

And those soldiers and family members who followed the old king's brother and resisted the Ming army were all taken to the border area, and then they were all executed according to Zhu Zhangui's request.

A large flag was planted on the pile of corpses to warn Burmese and Bangladeshis.

The effect is very obvious.

The aristocrats of the Bengal Sultanate, who had some complaints about joining Daming, suddenly changed their minds and began to sing praises, praising Daming's benevolence and greatness non-stop.

Yongle 15 years early in May.

border between Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Zhu Zhangui held up the binoculars and looked at the opposite side, frowning tightly.

There was no one in sight across from him.

"No, I killed people here for several days, and then stationed here with a large army. Is it possible that the mountain monkeys on the opposite side don't know?"

Zhu Zhangui was puzzled.

I made such a big commotion here, the mountain monkey on the opposite side didn't respond at all, as if it didn't notice the situation here.

In fact, Zhu Zhangui didn't know, it's not that Myanmar didn't find out what happened to him, but they couldn't care less about it.

"Boom..."

An ear-shattering bang and the sound of collapse sounded outside Mengbai City, and a section of the city wall collapsed.

Countless mountain monkeys screamed and fell from above, being covered by stones and mud.
