Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the luxurious palace of Ava City in Myanmar, the colonial army of the Zhang brothers poured in like a tide and quickly took over every corner of the place.

    In the battle of Toungoo City, the colonial army almost wiped out the armies of the Ava Dynasty and Toungoo Marquis of Myanmar. The subsequent battles were a matter of course, and they never encountered any decent resistance. They fought very smoothly all the way to the Awa Kingdom.  Wa, easily captured the city of Ava, announcing the demise of the Ava dynasty.

    At the same time, the Zhang brothers also officially announced that Myanmar had become a colony of the Zhang brothers, requiring the princes across Myanmar and the Shan chieftains in the north to pay allegiance to the Zhang family and accept the rule of the Zhang family.

    "Haha, we won Myanmar without any effort. From now on, our Zhang family's colonies can be connected together. From eastern Tianzhu to Myanmar, they all belong to our Zhang family."

    Zhang Yanling sat carelessly on the throne that originally belonged to the king of Myanmar and looked at the palace in front of him.

    Although Myanmar is very poor, it is rich in jade, so the entire palace is decorated and embellished with a variety of top-quality jade stones. If you look around, you can see pieces of top-quality jade.

    At the same time, there are elephants in Myanmar, so decorations made of ivory can be seen everywhere. The walls are decorated with gold and silver, which makes them look magnificent and magnificent.

    "Although Myanmar has been conquered and the territory is large enough, the princes in Myanmar and the chieftains of the Shan ethnic group in the north have always been high-minded and self-proclaimed kings. They may not really pay attention to us.  "

    Zhang Heling also rushed over from the Emerald City and nodded while looking at the palace in front of him.

    Well, at least, if you sell these jade stones, you can get a lot of money.

    "We will slowly deal with those princes, chieftains and the like one by one. They will be obedient and forget about it. If they are not obedient, we will kill them all."

    "Hmph~ These Burmese natives are very honest now."

    Zhang Yanling is now very murderous. He killed almost everyone along the way and slaughtered several cities. Here in Toungoo City, he even killed the Mon and Burmese armies cleanly. The Irrawaddy River became a  famous.

    "Hmm~"

    Zhang Heling also nodded slightly. In this regard, the two brothers have the same philosophy. Colonies are not a place where benevolence, justice and morality are talked about. Instead, they must use a strong army and strict laws to maintain their colonial rule.

    Of course, the two brothers also have some scholars under their command to manage these colonies. When it comes to important agricultural taxes, the two brothers are quite benevolent and collect a relatively low proportion. At the same time, they severely crack down on the local tyrants in the colonies and punish the tyrants and nobles.  The land was taken away and distributed to the landless people.

    In this way, the indigenous people at the bottom will have land to cultivate, food to eat, and they will not resist the Zhang family's rule.

    As for the middle- and upper-class natives, powerful people, nobles, etc., the Zhang family¡¯s consistent approach is to kill them all.

    The Zhang family does not need these powerful men and nobles, because the most direct interests of the Zhang family are obtained from the hands of these people.

    The colonial land, minerals, population, resources, etc. are all things that made the Zhang family rich, and they are basically in the hands of the local indigenous powerful and nobles.

    Without killing all these people, if the Zhang family controls the land, minerals, population, resources, etc., how can they maximize the wealth from the colony.

    The Zhang family knows one thing very well. For the people at the bottom, the most important thing is to have enough food and farmland. Food is not worth anything in the Ming Dynasty. Don't expect to make a fortune from food.

    Therefore, the Zhang brothers¡¯ agricultural taxes are set low, but in other aspects, the Zhang brothers have a monopoly, such as minerals, resources, etc. These things are easy to cash in and are also the most profitable.

    This colonial strategy of the Zhang family was a huge success, allowing the Zhang family to occupy the vast area of ????East Tianzhu with very few manpower. The key is that in this vast area, the indigenous people did not resist the rule of the Zhang family very much, and even  There are still many people who feel that under the rule of the Zhang family, their lives have become better, at least they can have enough to eat.

    "Brother, the system in East Tianzhu is also used in Myanmar?"

    Zhang Yanling looked at the map in the hall, thought about it and asked.

    "Well, let's stick to that system."

    "Introduce the caste system and classify all native Burmese people as low castes. Let them believe in the afterlife and that they endure hardship in this life so that they can be reincarnated into our Ming Dynasty family and enjoy happiness in the next life."

    Zhang Heling didn¡¯t even think about itLaughing, if there were no Hengduan Mountains, what kind of Burmese kingdom would there be?  It had already been attacked and occupied by the Ming Dynasty people.

    "It doesn't work now, but maybe it will work in the future."

    ¡°This Burma is still very meaningful to our Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to having an outlet to the Indian Ocean. If roads and railways can be built in the future and the natural chasm can be turned into a road, its significance will be extraordinary.¡±

    After Zhang Heling listened, he nodded slightly.

    He also knows that this place has steep mountains and rivers.

    Since ancient times, it has been said that the road to Shu is difficult and difficult to reach the sky, but compared with the roads in the Hengduan Mountains, it can be regarded as a thoroughfare. The roads here in the Hengduan Mountains are really so scary that ghosts and monkeys will take a detour.

    But when Zhang Heling looked at the map, he always felt that one day in the future, he could realize his idea, and then this place would have a different meaning to Ming Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
