Chapter 480 The Ava Dynasty

Clearly, the king of the Kingdom of Ava is no good; he won't care about any sacrifices when it comes to profit.

However, these sacrifices have caused great harm to innocent people. The Black Triangle, as a place where the three southwestern countries meet, should have become an economic zone for trade and commerce.

However, due to the misdeeds of the Ava Kingdom and other countries, this economic region was transformed into a living hell.

Whether they were merchants from the three countries in this region, merchants from the Ming Dynasty, or merchants from even more distant places in the West, when they conducted trade, they all suffered the same oppression, robbery, and even murder from these dark countries.

This completely destroyed the area's originally advantageous business environment, turning it into a region that businessmen dared not set foot in again.

Such an outcome is not only a case of picking up a sesame seed while losing a watermelon, but also an unforgivable evil.

Even for a long time to come, this action will severely damage the economies of these three southwestern regions.

After all, other countries are trying their best to establish trade relations with each other, to revitalize their domestic economies, and to allow some of their specialties to be sold abroad at good prices.

At the same time, we use low prices to buy good products from abroad, learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses, and achieve common progress through trade.

However, these countries have been causing trouble in the Black Triangle region, making a mess of the business people who came there to do business. They robbed them of everything for short-term gains.

But what's the use of that?

The wealth obtained from robbing dozens or hundreds of merchants is ultimately limited.

However, if the economy is revitalized, the benefits generated in various countries are limitless.

Moreover, this is accompanied by exchanges of interests, which contribute to the improvement of national strength and economy in various countries.

Cutting off such trade relations means cutting off future business opportunities with other countries.

While other countries are steadily improving, these countries, lacking any trade, will experience significant internal friction and be unable to acquire valuable resources from other countries.

They cannot sell their country's good products either, and can only stagnate, which is tantamount to closing the country off from the world.

To put it more seriously, their behavior could bring them a lot of bad reputation, even infamy, and they might regret it many years later.

As mentioned earlier, Zhu Yunwen's thinking at this time was quite progressive. He wanted to make the Ming Dynasty stronger and its economy more vibrant through trade and economic exchanges with various countries.

This is similar to the ancient Silk Road, which allowed China's economy to continue.

Unfortunately, some very feudal countries in this era have not realized this benefit. Fortunately, many countries have realized this during the Ming Dynasty's voyage.

Because they received good things from the Ming Dynasty and also made some money from it, allowing the Ming Dynasty to buy their goods, they naturally realized the benefits immediately.

The three countries that meet in the Black Triangle region are clearly unaware of this, especially the Ava Dynasty in Myanmar.

They even considered escalating their actions by randomly arresting people in the Black Triangle area. After all, the Black Triangle area already had a bad reputation, resembling a bandit-infested region.

Then let's turn this area into a lawless land, where innocent people are kidnapped, sold into slavery, and those who can work are made to work while those who can't are beaten to death.

Such behavior will make the Black Triangle region increasingly chaotic, which is not a good thing for the surrounding countries.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see it, but Zhu Yunwen could, because he still didn't want to give up trade in this area.

Therefore, he decided to help the Bago Dynasty to rule Burma. Then, he planned to use the power of the Bago Dynasty after unifying Burma to reorganize the Black Triangle region.

Of course, other places, such as the Lan Xang Kingdom and Siam, also needed Zhu Yunwen to teach them a lesson.

Because the Black Triangle region is not a problem in one place, nor is it just Myanmar that condones it; naturally, the Lan Xang Kingdom and Siam also provide unbridled support.

Of course, we need to resolve the issues in Myanmar step by step for now. Since Zhu Yunwen has made his decision, he will not let it end easily.

Just when the king of the Ava Dynasty did not take Zhu Yunwen seriously at all, and even planned to arbitrarily arrest people in the Black Triangle area and sell them as slaves...

Zhu Yunwen had already dispatched the five thousand soldiers from the fleet to be under the command of Ma Sanbao.

Ma Sanbao was once again put in charge of leading these soldiers to help the Pegu Dynasty deal with the Ava Dynasty and the Luchuan Dynasty to the north.

Ma Sanbao naturally wouldn't say much about this, because it was he who deliberately led Zhu Yunwen from the Strait of Malacca to the Bay of Bengal, and then landed in Myanmar.

The reason for going through all this trouble was to tell Zhu Yunwen that the Black Triangle region was the reason why the Ming Dynasty could not trade with the southwestern countries on land and could only open up sea routes.

Now Zhu Yunwen has realized the problem and is preparing to eliminate the Black Triangle, so that the Ming Dynasty can conduct trade in the southwest region using a closer land trade route. This is naturally a great thing.

It was worth it for Ma Sanbao to go through all that trouble and effort.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be explicit, but rather that he was, after all, a subordinate, a subject, or to put it bluntly, just a eunuch.
