I want to ruin the country
Chapter 605: The strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf
Myanmar is very rich in mineral resources and has a variety of mineral resources.
Including tin, tungsten, zinc, aluminum, antimony, manganese, gold, silver, etc., among which gems enjoy a high reputation in the world.

?6?8Myanmar also has the Baldwin Mine with a reserve of more than million tons, and iron ore and copper ore with a reserve of billion tons.
In addition, there are various rare earth minerals that are even more valuable in later generations.
Even if there are mineral deposits, they still need to be mined to exchange for wealth, and mining mineral deposits costs money!
After Myanmar was defeated, the British had plundered all the money of the Myanmar state and royal family.
Part of the money was taken to Britain, and part of the property was taken to Siam by the British army.
Therefore, Luo Shixin did not obtain much gold, silver and other valuables from the state and senior officials in Myanmar.
Although not much was seized from the government, after fighting against the local tyrants and eliminating the landlords and capitalists, the entire Burma Province gained 200 million taels of silver.
Yining called and said that the silver did not need to be shipped back to the country and could be consumed locally.
With this money as support, the construction of large ports, factories, mining, roads and railways can be carried out simultaneously.
Moreover, a portion of the funds could be used to support agricultural and water conservancy production and construction. Soon the whole of Myanmar became a large construction site.
When people have work to do, money to earn, and enough food and clothing to eat, they naturally won't think about crooked things.
They received benefits from the emperor, were highly respected, and were not reduced to second-class citizens. What else could they hope for?
Most of the people settled down, and the very few restless elements lost the protection of the people.
Losing the protection of the people is like a fish out of water. Do you think they can survive?
Another most important thing is that primary schools are being built all over the province, and the schools mainly teach Chinese.
Only by recognizing Chinese culture can we truly integrate into the big family of the Chinese nation.
Through a combination of kindness and force, many destabilizing factors were eliminated and the whole of Myanmar soon stabilized.
While Burma calmed down, the Siamese Empire in the east was in turmoil.
More than 200,000 British and Indian troops suddenly poured into the entire western border line, and there was no way to stop them.
These British soldiers and Indians had limited supplies, and when they ran out of food and drink they had no choice but to rob.
Moreover, the British had fought countless wars with Siam, but they suffered losses a few times, which is why they did not occupy Siam.
Although they did not sincerely intend to invade Siam this time, they had in fact already invaded.
Historically, Siam and Myanmar were also enemies. They fought from the mid-sixteenth century to the early nineteenth century, with Siam suffering more defeats than victories.
In the 18th century, Myanmar invaded. The Chinese national hero Phraya Taksin led the Siamese people in a heroic resistance and won the victory, and then established the Thonburi Dynasty.
In the mid-to-late 18th century, Chao Phraya Chakri, a general of the Thonburi Dynasty, gradually took control of the government and established the Chakri Dynasty in 1782.
In the early years of the Bangkok Dynasty, the centralized rule was strengthened, corvée labor was reduced, in-kind taxes were increased, and large tracts of agricultural land were developed.
The area of rice cultivation expanded, and the cultivation of sugarcane and pepper developed, followed by the rise of sugar, salt and metal processing industries.
With the development of trade, navigation, shipbuilding and timber mining and processing industries also developed.
At this time, a large number of Chinese people poured in and were welcomed by local residents and governments.
The current ruler is King Mongkut, the fourth king of the Bangkok Dynasty.
The full name of King Mongkut was Phra Ba Somdej Phra Brahmins Maha Mongkut Phra Zongkau Chaoyukho.
他生于1804年10月18日去世于1868年10月18日。
He served from 1851 to 1868.
King Mongkut was not a tough king in history, and he officially turned to the West by signing the Second Anglo-Siamese Treaty with Britain in 1855.
Now it was still three years before 1855, and King Mongkut was still doing well and had no intention of submitting to the British.
At that time, the British occupied the entire territory of Myanmar, and Myanmar was considered to be destroyed. King Mongkut was afraid for a while.
He was afraid that the British would swallow him up in one fell swoop, and he also heard that General Wu Bo had gone to China for help.
The war had been going on for a year, and King Mongkut felt relieved. The British were being held back by the Chinese, and Britain no longer had the strength to attack them.
Man proposes, God disposes. The British army was driven away by Luo Shixin and had nowhere to go, so they had to cross the border into Siam.
Siam is different from Myanmar. Myanmar has more mountains and fewer plains, and there are very few big cities.
Siam is mostly plains and plateaus, with many cities. The whole country is relatively stable, and the people live much better than in Myanmar.
After the British army came in, they occupied Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Uttarabhi in the north.
In the central part, Tak Province and Kamphaeng Phet were occupied, and in the south, Kanchanaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan were occupied.
As a result, only Nan, Lampang and Phrae in the northern region remained in the hands of King Mongkut.
Urgent reports from all over the country flew into the hands of King Mongkut of Bangkok like snowflakes.
King Menggu sighed and lamented, it was really a damn shame that the fire in the city gate affected the innocent people.
You guys fight your own battles, why are you coming to our country?
The Chinese are so fucked up. If you don't clean up their territory in Myanmar, why do they escape to my home?
Before he had time to mobilize his troops properly, one third of the territory was occupied.
Moreover, the enemy in Kanchanaburi was only more than 200 miles away from his palace. If the enemy launched an attack, it would only take two days to reach Bangkok.
Damn it!
King Mongkut hurriedly ordered the garrisons in Suphanburi in the north and Phetchaburi and Bangkok in the south to attack the British army in Kanchanaburi from three sides.
The 100,000-strong Siamese army fought two major battles with the more than 50,000-strong British-Indian coalition forces. Many people died on both sides, but they were evenly matched and ended up in a stalemate.
Siam's total population is only eight million, and it has an army of nearly 200,000.
To their east are Cambodia and Laos, which pose a threat to them.
Their main threat came from Myanmar, so in order to guard against military invasion from Myanmar, King Mongkut placed most of his armed forces on the western border.
More than 200,000 British and Indian troops invaded and soon wiped out 30,000 to 40,000 Siamese troops.
There are still 150,000 to 160,000 people left, and except for the tens of thousands guarding Bangkok, the rest are scattered all over the place.
The stalemate in Kanchanaburi made King Mongkut very worried. What should he do?
