Returning to his temporary residence in Perth, the unhappy Wu Feng sighed softly. It seemed that he was still a little too optimistic. The autumn in Burma County was still so sultry. Although it was much better than in July and August, it was generally The road to the south is terrible. Accepting his own secret order to secretly open a trail to the Principality of Sulawesi does not seem to go smoothly. Although Luhmann has mobilized many refugees, he is trapped in confidentiality issues and the climate environment is too harsh. If he wants to open a path that can satisfy the large troops to pass smoothly The roads are obviously inadequate, at least not in the short term. Moreover, the Principality of Sulawesi south of Burma County also has a long distance and is densely covered with jungles and crisscrossed swamps. It is really difficult to deploy a large force in such a place.
The First Army has begun to quietly enter Tiannan, but even though there are 100,000 troops, how to pass through the jungle-covered tropical hilly area between Burma County and the Principality of Sulawesi has become a headache for Wu Feng. Maybe I should wait a little longer. The ideal time is from November to December. Although the road is a little more bumpy and difficult, at least the possibility of heatstroke and epidemics can be basically ruled out. However, the Pasha people can persist. At that time? Shaking his head, Wu Feng felt half confident that once the Pasha, the Peninsula Alliance and the West Oran Kingdom ceased fighting, it would be difficult for him to start a war again.
There are not many Gaoyue people at the eastern foot of the Great Hengduan Mountain in Sulawesi Principality. Although people have been sent to contact them in advance, these untrained Gaoyue people may not be able to face the famously powerful mercenary troops. It is difficult to play a big role. The mercenary troops are best suited to exert their power in the battles of these irregular armies. Wu Feng is unwilling to see a one-sided massacre. It seems that it is really necessary to break the third division into pieces and pass through the large crossroads. The mountainous area has infiltrated, but what should we do with the remaining divisions? No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Third Division is, it cannot withstand the counterattack of Sulawesi's overwhelming power.
The city of Perth is located in the northern part of Burma County. It has been the center of the entire Burma area for hundreds of years. Although the entire Burma area is vast, the population is not very large. The area is equivalent to a county in the Central Plains, but it only has less than 600,000 people. More than 60% of the population is concentrated in the relatively developed northern Myanmar, which is also the area most influenced by Tang culture. However, the backward central and northern Myanmar only have 200,000 people, most of whom are distributed in Living in the mountains and forests relies on hunting and farming, with extremely low productivity. Other social undertakings are extremely backward. Most people cannot even write their own names.
Even the city of Perth, when Wu Feng took over, could not believe that this was the administrative and economic center of the entire Myanmar. Except for the original Myanmar Palace and the later Governor's Palace built during Lang Yongquan's rule, the bumpy streets and dilapidated buildings Houses, low and dilapidated city walls, there is almost no decent building to be found in the entire city of Perth. Even the houses where the so-called rich and nobles live in Burma are mostly featureless bungalows and wooden houses, or rather They are just some dome-shaped bamboo buildings with local characteristics. They look out of place in the middle of the city. At first glance, people may even think that they are in a mountain village in a mountain village. They have no basic characteristics of a city at all.
During Lang Yongquan's rule over Burma, his rule and management were mostly formal. Especially in central and southern Burma, he more often authorized the chieftains among the local indigenous residents to manage, and the Wen family was the central and southern Burmese. The most powerful chieftain family in northern Myanmar. After the Wen family took the lead in surrendering to Li Wufeng, the other major chieftain families also followed suit and surrendered their allegiance to Wufeng. With the support and assistance of the Wen family, the entire central and northern Myanmar were quickly incorporated into the local government. The management of Labo City in central Myanmar was also held by Wen Jian, a branch of the Wen family.
However, when it comes to the selection of officials in Mughal City, Wu Feng was originally considering whether to choose local people or external transfers. Unexpectedly, Wen Na was very obedient and strongly advocated Wu Feng to be selected from the original northwest officials, and said that the entire Myanmar The Burmese people in southern Myanmar will unreservedly support the new local government officials and fully support the local government to completely take back many of the powers originally held by the local chieftain families. This even caused a sensation at the time. Many chieftain families were opposed to this kind of power. The behavior was extremely dissatisfied, but seeing that even the Wen clan obeyed without complaint, and a large number of chieftains' children were also selected to study at Northwest University, Northwest Military Academy and other basic schools, the storm only lasted less than a year. It subsided within a month. This also made Wu Feng appreciate Wen Na's political wisdom. In the end, Wu Feng agreed with Wen Na on the issue of choosing the guardian of Mugal City and appointed Bao De, the former director of the Economic Development Agency of Bonan Prefecture, as Mugal City. Lecheng defends his position.
However, Myanmar's economy also developed greatly during the rule of the Lang family. Especially in northern Myanmar, a large amount of previously barren mountain forest land was developed, especially along the highway from Dandong Fucheng to Perth City. Countless villages Sawmills and wood processing workshops of varying sizes were established, and tea gardens, sugar cane plantations, and cocoa plantations also gradually developed. Many other related areas, such as tea farms, sugar mills, and cocoa processing workshops, were also added to the city of Perth. The processing industry related to agricultural products has gradually given Perth a hint of a town atmosphere. But looking at the overall situation, until Wu Feng took over Myanmar, Myanmar's economy was still in an extremely backward and closed situation.
After Wu Feng officially took over Burma, Burma quickly set off a development frenzy. Especially in June and July when Jiangnan industrial and commercial forces moved westwards, Burma immediately became the first choice investment for Jiangnan businessmen with keen sense of smell and sharp eyes. land.
Ascott, a famous perfume workshop in Suzhou, has aggressively planted and purchased various orchids that are very common in northern Myanmar as raw materials for the "Lauder" series of top-notch new perfumes it has developed. It is said that in October New product display conferences will be held in the Imperial Capital, Hanzhong, and Qingyang, and upper-class women from all over the country will be invited to participate. As King Wufeng's family members, invitations are naturally indispensable. Although Situ Yutang is not here, people like Anne and Ha Li Qin Na, Di Leina, Hua Yumei, Guan Yingying, Charlotte and other girls all received invitations to attend the Hanzhong and Qingyang exhibition conferences as special guests. Meijia, the oldest furniture maker in the south of the Yangtze River, also announced that it will build a large-scale workshop in Perth to produce Meijia's "Red Earth Floating World" series of Tang-style furniture. The furniture in this brand series is carefully handmade with all mahogany wood. Made in China, it is known as a wonder in the world of imperial furniture.
The two companies' entry into Myanmar was just a clarion call for Jiangnan businessmen to move westward in capital and technology. The incoming Jiangnan funds were soon not satisfied with staying in northern Myanmar. They set their sights on the undeveloped areas of China and Myanmar. In southern Myanmar, the rich resources and excellent geographical environment are an excellent location for the development of planting and processing industries. Wufeng also promptly announced the construction of the Myanmar-Myanmar Highway running through the north and south in the shortest possible time. The First Industrial and Commercial Bank of West Xinjiang and the Northwest The entry of banks also fueled the unlimited enthusiasm of Jiangnan merchants.
Seeing the master standing alone in front of the dark window meditating, the guards deliberately stood far away so as not to disturb the master's thoughts. His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood after returning from the front line. Maybe it was because he was still a little hot. Later, he came from the north. He was a little uncomfortable going south. At this time, the city of Perth was more like a large boiling construction site. As a condition for Luman to serve as the governor of Burma County, he could nominate the governor of Perth City. Luman did not hesitate to choose to serve as the administrative department under his command. The elder’s confidant Gauhatir is a young man who graduated from the Administrative Academy of the Indian Kingdom. Gauhathir also devoted himself wholeheartedly to the transformation and construction of Perth after taking office as the city guard of Perth. As the capital of Burma County and the residence of the Governor-General, building a brand new city of Perth is the minimum requirement, and It is even more urgent to attract external funds to participate in the development and construction process of Perth House.
Even though he chose a quite quiet place, Wu Feng seemed to be able to hear the shouts coming from all over the city of Perth. The influx of hundreds of thousands of river refugees provided a sufficient labor force for the entire Burma County, and also made them the main force in the construction of New Perth. When the new urban planning of Perth City was released, it was the same as that of Shuangdui Mansion. Like the new buildings, the land at all the port locations was snapped up by wealthy Jiangnan merchants, and what followed was a vigorous push for municipal development and street housing construction projects. When Wu Feng set foot in Perth City, he discovered that Perth was in front of him. The city is completely different from Perth when he inspected it a few months ago.
However, Wu Feng's mood at this time did not improve at all because of the huge changes in Burma County. What troubled him was still how to solve the hundreds of kilometers of tropical virgin forest areas to the south. The narrow trails used by hunters simply could not satisfy the needs of large troops. , and time is so tight. If we force our way through this vast and dense forest, I wonder if our army will be able to handle this arduous task? After all, fighting in tropical areas has left Wu Feng with lingering fears. The last time the cavalry and horses suddenly became infected, he was almost helpless.
"Hey, isn't His Highness here?" A clear girl's voice came from far outside the door.
"Oh, Miss Mingxia, Your Highness is here. She just came back not long ago. She seems to be in a bad mood and is alone in the room." The voice became smaller and smaller, and Konoe's words gradually became inaudible. Then, a burst of soft footsteps came straight towards this direction.
Keep asking for votes, ^_^
