At 3 pm on April 26, 1845, the highest commander of the British British army in India and commander of the Myanmar War Theater, General John Colborn, accompanied by a group of senior British generals, came to the front of the defense line of the Chinese army. General John Colbion was expressionless, but his eyes were full of frustration and loneliness. In this battle, Britain lost a lot. The army from India to Myanmar, hundreds of thousands of people, have now almost lost all, and has to surrender to the Chinese. This was an unacceptable result for him. However, the facts were in front of him, and he had to accept it! In order to survive the remaining British young men, he had no choice but to surrender. If he continued, there would be no meaning, it would be just a matter of casualties.
"General, on behalf of all the British and British-Indian troops in India, I surrender to the Chinese Army!" General John Colborne said this intermittently. There is no doubt that this would be a huge shame for him, a stain that he could never wash away in his life.
"General, I accept your surrender. From now on, the war is over. Don't worry about being shot dead!" Major General Liu Zhongming, deputy director of the Operations Department of the General Staff of the Chinese Empire, took his command knife from General John Colborn with a smile on his face. From this moment on, the war between the Chinese Empire and Britain in Myanmar has officially come to an end. Hundreds of thousands of people on both sides have been in Myanmar for more than two months, and now it is finally over. The final result of the war once again shocked the whole world. The Chinese Empire once again won the victory beautifully.
The British army invested three armies to the Myanmar battlefield, and the British and Indian army also invested eight armies, with a total force of 550,000. The Chinese army invested a total of 5 armies and two naval brigades to Myanmar. The total force was about 200,000. After this battle, the status of the Eastern overlord of the Chinese Empire has been confirmed. Even the British dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops could not compete with the Chinese Empire, let alone other countries. Myanmar has also become a part of the Chinese Empire since now.
Although the Chinese army entered Myanmar at the time. It was invited by Meng Keng, the king of Burma at that time. However, after the British army captured Mandalay, Meng Keng was also killed by his younger brother Mindong. The new king Mindong asked the Chinese army to withdraw from Myanmar. However, the Chinese army refused harshly. Their voices of small countries like Myanmar were not valued at all. The Chinese Empire directly ignored them.
When the news of the Chinese army defeating the British army reached Mandalay, the Burmese King Mindong was in panic all day long. He swept the 13th British and Indian Army Army in northern Myanmar. He was even more panicked. They immediately gave up Mandalay and began to march westward, preparing to cross the vast mountains to return to India. Although the mountain roads were difficult to walk, poisonous insects, snakes and ants were everywhere, and if they were not careful, they would die in the jungle. But that was at least better than being annihilated by the Chinese army! So, more than 50,000 British and Indian Army Army Army Army Army Army Army Army Army Army Army Army Army
People embarked on their way back. However, their journey was not smooth. There were a lot of non-combat reductions along the way due to various reasons. More than 50,000 people successfully walked out of the mountains and returned to India. The rest were buried in the mountains. This also indirectly proved the correctness of the tactics of the Chinese army. After the Chinese army captured Mengdu, they immediately cut off the logistics supply line of the British army in Myanmar. The British army had no choice but to fight the Chinese army.
In addition, the two British and Indian infantry troops sent to attack Mengdu were unable to complete their mission. The 15th Army of the Chinese Army easily repelled their attack, and with the assistance of four "Shang-class" cruisers of the 1st Fleet, they firmly controlled Mengdu and the surrounding areas. Even the Indian Governor Sir Henry Harding drew a lot of troops from India and attacked Mengdu by east-west attacks, but they could not defeat the 15th Army of the Chinese Army. After the main force of the British army led by General John Colborne was eliminated, the 11th and 18th Army of the British and Indian Army who attacked Mengdu cleanly chose to surrender. The British and Indian troops attacking from the Indian defense line stopped their attacks as soon as possible and began to build defensive positions to prevent the Chinese army from taking the opportunity to attack Printing.
After the British army in Myanmar was eliminated, the Chinese army began to wipe out the rebellious forces in Myanmar. The indigenous Burmese army loyal to Myanmar King Mindong, as well as the Myanmar ethnic armed forces who opposed the Chinese Empire were all within the scope of the attack. After the Chinese army captured Myanmar, they would definitely immigrate here on a large scale. At that time, these unstable factors must be cleared first. Now the Chinese army is about 200,000 in Myanmar, which can be sorted out Myanmar, so that the empire can immigrate to Myanmar in the next stage.
In the Chinese Empire, Guangzhou, at 4 pm, Long Yufei convened a meeting of imperial fronts. Cabinet officials and senior military officials attended the meeting. Originally, the meeting of imperial fronts was held most of the time in the morning, unless there was a special situation. This time, it was exactly the case. Major General Liu Zhongming, deputy director of the Operations Department of the General Staff who commanded operations in Myanmar, had sent good news, and British commander General John Colborne had surrendered. The war in Myanmar was almost over, and the Chinese Empire once again won the final victory. The ministers who came to attend the meeting had also been
After learning the news in advance, everyone's face was full of smiles. Originally, when the war broke out, some more conservative ministers believed that it was not necessary to meet the British for a small Burma. Later, the British proposed to use the Irrawaddy River as the boundary, which also received the support of some cabinet ministers. However, the imperial emperor Long Yufei strongly advocated the end, so other ministers had no choice. Now, the facts have proved that Long Yufei's vision is accurate. The Chinese army once again won a great victory for the empire, and the entire Myanmar has become the territory of the Chinese Empire.
"Chief of Staff, the military has fought another big battle this time, which is gratifying!" Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng said with a smile.
"Prime Minister, this is all because His Majesty has good leadership and the soldiers are fighting hard. We are just staying behind and talking. However, after we have finished the battle, how to govern Myanmar depends on the cabinet next!" General Niu Meng said. Soldiers only need to rely on the government in terms of destruction and construction.
"Don't worry, the Chief of Staff, the cabinet has already formulated a plan to develop Myanmar. After the war has subsided, it can be implemented." Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng said with a smile. Although Myanmar is poor, it has abundant resources and borders China. The plains in southern Myanmar have fertile soil, and it is difficult to have enough rain and sunshine, which is suitable for the growth of crops. If you want to immigrate, you can immigrate at least 10 million people from the country to Myanmar. In this way, the Chinese Empire can permanently occupy this land. Of course, Myanmar's poor infrastructure still requires a lot of investment.
Soon, Long Yufei appeared in the hall with a red face, and the ministers congratulated Long Yufei one after another. The Chinese Empire defeated the British again and wiped out hundreds of thousands of people at once. This was a rare victory!
"Everyone, after this battle in Myanmar, we once again defeated the British. Myanmar is already ours, and we also made the British realize that the interests of the empire cannot be violated. At least in the Far East, it is up to us to decide!" Long Yufei said excitedly. As the national strength of the Chinese Empire continued to improve, he had seen hope of challenging Britain's world hegemony.
"Your Majesty, India's troops are now empty, so we might as well send troops to attack the printing level directly!" Chief of General Staff Niu Mengshang suggested.
Long Yufei was also a little moved, but he quickly suppressed it.
"We have to put the printing issue first. We have to clean up the enemies in the north first." Long Yufei said. Destroying the Qing Dynasty and unifying the whole country is the most important thing. Although the military strength of the Chinese Empire is unprecedentedly strong, its industrial strength is still far from that of the West. If we want to support large-scale foreign wars, this industrial foundation is not enough. The Chinese Empire has to continue to focus on its development.
General Niu Meng nodded and no longer insisted on this opinion.
"The General Staff Department has formulated a reward plan for meritorious personnel. For meritorious soldiers, the Empire cannot treat them unfairly!" Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Niu Meng said.
"Prime Minister, Myanmar has been defeated. Next, the development of Myanmar will be dominated by the government. However, there are many ethnic groups in Myanmar, and many ethnic groups living in the mountains and forests are savages who are not convinced of education. When developing Myanmar, the military must cooperate closely." Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" said Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng and Chief of Staff General Niu Meng.
"I have made several requirements for the development of Myanmar. First, we must build the road from southwest of the empire to Myanmar. Both roads and railways must be built, so that our connection with Myanmar will be closer. Second, the road from Myanmar to India must also be expanded to create conditions for the empire to send troops to India in the future. Third, the safety of immigrants to Myanmar must be guaranteed. For those indigenous people who do not obey discipline, we do not need to show mercy and treat them as indigenous people in the South China Sea!" Long Yufei said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cabinet Prime Minister Li Decheng nodded. The few things Long Yufei explained were all the key points of Myanmar's development. (To be continued...)
