I want to ruin the country

The traditional industries of Luzon and Sulu are fruits and spices. I believe that without the exploitation of capital, the local people can have enough food and clothing by relying on these!

What’s more important is that they are surrounded by the sea and have abundant fishery resources. If the people in such a place were to starve, it would not be a natural disaster but a man-made disaster!

Yining left Yijinshan 20 million taels of silver, several maps and a supervisory committee.

Yi Jinshan was the head of the Supervisory Commission, and Yi Guofang was the second in command. The Supervisory Commission was equivalent to the combination of the Finance Bureau and the Audit Bureau in later generations.

They exist to determine and monitor how funds are spent.

Twenty million silver taels were the start-up capital. Yining asked Yijinshan to start building two large docks and several small docks, and also to start building roads on each island.

Whether it is a dock or a road, they are all human legs. If your legs are too short, you can’t walk far, and you will be restricted by others everywhere and won’t be able to do anything well!

We also need to build two rubber factories. Once the rubber factories are built, they will also stimulate people’s enthusiasm for planting rubber!

The next step is to build two steel smelters. By the same token, steel smelting can drive many related industries.

铁矿?6?8、?6?8铜矿?6?8、?6?8镍矿?6?8、金矿?6?8、?6?8银矿开挖，就需要运输，所以道路配套要跟上。

This will promote the development of water and land transportation.

There is no mechanization yet, and mining and road construction are basically done by hand.

This will absorb a lot of labor, and relatively speaking, the income is still relatively high.

When people work, they can generate benefits. When everyone generates benefits, it is like a lot of people pushing a cart, the cart starts moving, that is, a stagnant pool of water comes alive!

In addition to these, we call on local residents to plant large quantities of rubber and tropical fruits.

These things are their traditional strengths, and some parents and children can do them.

Yining instructed Yijinshan that in addition to handing over a portion of the local income to the national treasury, the rest should be used for national economy and people's livelihood, especially education, which is the top priority!

We must achieve universal nine-year compulsory education without charging a penny!

Since he became king, Yijinshan had never seen 20 million taels of silver. He suddenly became rich.

Now with 20 million silver coins and these projects, the economy of the entire Sulu province has come alive.

He felt that joining China was the right move. If they relied on themselves alone, they would never be able to live a good life!

Yining recruited one million migrant workers in Sulu province.

Yining returned triumphantly with one million laborers and more than 100 million silver coins.

In fact, if Yining didn't want to make things worse, it would be just right for him to lead the fleet across the Strait of Malacca to the south of Myanmar and attack Luo Shixin from the north and south.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Let's deal with the Japanese country first. I'll just let Luo Shixin train his troops here.

This time, Yining did not return directly to Tianjin Port, but chose to dock in Beihai, Guangxi.

He wanted to leave the military supplies on the ship to Luo Shixin to avoid transporting them here from the capital.

In order to fight the Spaniards, all the guns and artillery produced before and after the New Year were given to the Central War Zone.

After unloading all the ammunition, Yining returned home victoriously.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Fujian, he learned that Prince Gong and Jingshou had also arrived there and were loading the ship to go to the West.

Yining met with Prince Gong!

Prince Gong and his men knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty expelled the foreign dogs and recovered Su Lu. His achievements will be remembered for thousands of years and will go down in history. He is truly the greatest monarch in history!"

Yining laughed loudly.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Without the huge ships you bought, I wouldn't be able to win this battle even if I had all the skills. Actually, you're the one who did the most!"

Prince Gong said hurriedly,

"I dare not take credit for what God has done!"

The emperor agreed, but Prince Gong did not dare to claim the credit.

It’s true that he bought the warship, but the cannon that played a decisive role on the ship had nothing to do with him!

Ji Zhichang held a grand banquet to celebrate the emperor's success and to see Prince Gong off. Everyone was in a good mood and drank heartily.

During the banquet, Prince Gong said,

"Your Majesty, the English have come to protest against us!"

Yining smiled and said,

"The protest, is it because of what happened in Myanmar?"

Prince Gong said,

"Of course we're fighting an undeclared war!"

Yining was dismissive.

"Tsk, that's nonsense! How could he have noticed that we launched an undeclared war? Did he capture any of our soldiers?"

Prince Gong smiled and said,

"He wants to catch it, but can he?"

Yining Road,

"That's it, then. Just tell them what you want to say. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to walk the bird?"

Prince Gong said,

"I've already told them, let them do whatever they want!"

After Wu Bo returned to Luo Shixin, Luo Shixin sent several thousand troops, dressed as Burmese, and entered Myanmar in the name of the Burmese Restoration Army.

However, the initial progress was a bit slow, and the reason was very simple. Northern Myanmar is mountainous and densely forested, with a complex climate, which is not suitable for the deployment of large troops.

Moreover, the British army in northern Myanmar was not very strong, and there were still many local armed forces or bandits.

In order to avoid future troubles, Luo Shixin advanced step by step, completely annihilating these local troops and bandits one by one, and advancing slowly and steadily.

Another reason for this is that Yining did not allow Luo Shixin to make such a big fuss as he did when he attacked Spain.

The reason for using the name of the Burmese Restoration Army is that we do not want to anger the British in the near future.

The reason is that both the opportunities and the strength at sea are not enough now.

Another thing is that if the war goes too smoothly and the British are driven away, the Burmese will think they can do it themselves, which will be detrimental to future control of Myanmar.

So, now the British know that it is the Chinese army that is causing trouble, but they have no way to do anything because they cannot get any concrete evidence.

But they were unwilling to give up and still came to China to protest. Prince Gong told them,

"We are at war with Spain. We don't have time to waste on your nonsense!"

The British said,

"Most of the soldiers on the battlefield are Chinese, with only a few Burmese. How do you explain this?"

Prince Gong said,

"Since ancient times, Chinese and Burmese people have had the same appearance and a common language. Who can say for sure whether they are Chinese or not?

Even if they are Chinese, we didn't send them. They acted on their own. Just go and capture them. We won't blame you if you kill them!"

The British have nothing to say!

Yining said,

"Sixth brother, are all the goods ready this time?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. To meet deadlines, all the tea was made overtime!"

"That's good, Sixth Brother. I also want to remind you that we should not reveal these advanced technologies to Westerners yet. We must keep them confidential!"

"I understand. I've also thought about it. If we sell our guns, gunpowder, generators, telegraphs, telephones, and other technologies to foreigners, without having to ship them over, I could still get hundreds of millions of silver back from them!"
