Chapter 1436 Obai sends troops

 Mu Jiansheng attacked Lintian according to the tactics laid out by Han Yu.

After occupying Lintian, Mu Jiansheng followed the previous practice and directly ransacked the homes of officials, local tyrants, and evil gentry, and then held a public trial, replicating the successful experience in Yunnan Province.

Thanks to the Qing army's equal treatment of all provinces in terms of immorality, Han Yu's methods in Yunnan Province were also effective in Guangxi Province.

The people in the forest and fields who obtained the land and were exempted from exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes were grateful to the Ming army.

One after another, men in the family were encouraged to join the Ming army or private league training to guard their vested interests.

After capturing Lintian, Mu Jiansheng did not stop, but continued to attack.

The task Han Yu gave him was to capture Guangdong and Guangxi, seize the seaport and customs.

In the original space, the Guangdong Province controlled by Shang Kexi was the richest in the world. Guangzhou Bay was full of sailboats, and the annual customs tax alone amounted to several million taels of silver.

Among the three feudal lords, Shang Kexi is the richest.

This was also during the San Francisco Rebellion, and Shang Kexi did not want to start a rebellion at first.

It would be great to be a rich man by steadily collecting tariffs.

In order to protect his own interests, he even sent troops to help the Qing court attack Wu Sangui, and was even named a prince.

Later, after being placed under house arrest by his son, he and Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty.

What Han Yu is interested in is this tariff and the mature shipbuilding industry.

If you want to conquer the world, in this era, the most important thing is the navy.

Without a large-scale navy, it would be difficult to deal with Japanese pirates, let alone fight for world hegemony.

And the navy is a time-consuming military. The sooner you get it, the more advantageous it will be.

The only people in Guangdong and Guangxi who can mobilize the troops of the two major provinces are Shang Kexi and Li Qifeng, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Now, once these two people are dead, no one can control the entire military strength of Guangdong and Guangxi, and they can only fight on their own.

This gave Mu Jiansheng a chance to defeat each one.

Mu Jiansheng led the main force of the three legions to continuously conquer towns one after another.

Everywhere they went, they would hold a public trial, kill all the local tyrants and evil gentry, and bully the officials who oppressed the people, level the fields and divide the land, exempt them from miscellaneous taxes, and organize team training.

Because the reputation spread, when Mu Jiansheng and his army arrived later, they could see the people directly opening the city gate, pressing down on the officials and walking out, waiting to open the door with fruits and vegetables to greet them.

Seeing the people eating pots of milk to welcome Master Wang, Mu Jiansheng's eyes became a little moist.

How many years has it been since he saw this scene?

"Sure enough, His Highness is a person who has been enlightened by immortals and received orders from heaven. Otherwise, how could he have gained such popular support with just a few casual instructions."

Mu Jiansheng respected Han Yu more and more.

He carried out Han Yu's every word as an imperial edict.

After more than two months of armed marches, Mu Jiansheng conquered Guangdong and Guangxi provinces.

This speed not only pleased Han Yu, but also shocked the Qing court.

In the capital, Ao Bai was so angry that he dropped his teacup when he saw the post about the battle report ahead.

"Trash, a bunch of rubbish. An army of 200,000 can't deal with the thousands of remnant soldiers of the Fake Ming Dynasty, and these thieves have occupied three provinces. They are all a bunch of rubbish!"

"I have long said that those Han ministers cannot be reused. If we Manchus lead the army, we only need tens of thousands of troops to defeat those bandits."

Ye Bilong said from the side.

"I would like to take the Eight Banners powerful force to the south and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop. I ask for your Majesty's permission."

Suk Saha said from the side.

Kangxi did not dare to say anything, but turned his attention to Obai.

He is just an eight-year-old child. He is an emperor in name, but he is just a mascot. Now everything in the court is decided by Obai and Suoni.

But Suoni was weak and bedridden all year round. The government was almost controlled by Obai alone. Without Obai's consent, it was useless for them to go all the way.

After hearing Suk Saha's words, Obai's mind started to move.

In his opinion, the bandits in the south are not worth mentioning. As long as the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers arrive, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop.

His eyes are fixed on government affairs.

"Why is Suksaha rushing to send troops at this time?"

Obai kept thinking in his mind.

"This guy is still young. Could it be that he wants to use this opportunity to establish his prestige in the army and come to compete with me?"

"No, we must not let him establish his prestige in the military. The military power must be in my hands."

Obai rolled his eyes and had an idea.

He directly raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Suk Saha is not qualified enough to command the army. I would like to lead the Eight Banners athletes to coordinate with the five governors of Liangjiang, Huguang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Sichuan and Shaanxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, and a total of twelve provincial green battalions.

In addition to the King of Jingnan, Geng Jingzhong, a total of seven armies went to the south to quell the banditry in one fell swoop."

Hearing what Obai said, the courtiers present were all surprised.

If he really followed what Ao Bai said, he would have exhausted almost all the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty except for the Zhili Green Camp that defended the capital and the Eight Banners of Shengjing that guarded the Longxing Land.

Could it be that the banditry in the south has reached this level?

In fact, in Obai's eyes, there is no need to bring so many troops to quell the banditry in the south.

The reason why he wanted to do this was to meet the generals from all walks of life, bring them under his command, and completely control the military power in his hands.



And then pave the way for your next plan.

Kangxi looked around and saw all the courtiers, and when he saw that no one raised any objection, he nodded.

"Then make Ao Bai the General of the Conquest of the South, commanding the troops of the world and conquering the bandits."

After Oboi received the imperial edict, he sent an order to the world, and after learning the information, all the soldiers and horses geared up and headed to the predetermined gathering place.

"Commander, there are millions of troops assembled this time. How should we arrange the march?"

The general under his command asked Ao Bai.

"It is too slow to move a million troops in one place. If we divide them into seven groups and attack together in three provinces, we will definitely be able to put down these bandits in one fell swoop."

Aobai glanced at the Kunyu map and said calmly.

"By the way, here's the order. If we attack the town that surrendered to the bandits this time, I will allow you not to seal the sword for three days. You only need to hand over 30% of the property to the public, and the rest will be yours."

"Yes!" After hearing the order, the herald went down happily.

This is the day they look forward to when eating military rations.

The daily rations are only a few dollars, and they are exploited at all levels. In their hands, only three melons and two dates are left. Many people can starve to death just relying on rations.

Even if there is a chance to make a fortune, it is only for the big shots, and they don’t even have a chance to make a fortune.

For them, plundering and plundering is a slight opportunity to make a fortune.

Everyone is happily preparing to make a fortune and come back to live a good life comfortably.
