The two armies in Guangxi were still dilly-dallying, and the casualty rate increased greatly when they entered the mountains to suppress the bandits.
The main reason is that hidden arrows are difficult to guard against, and they are also poisonous arrows.
The Qing army was overwhelmed by this thing, and the British army was also beaten to death by the Malay natives. In this time and space, the Datong army suffered from poisonous arrows.
"Your Majesty, a secret message from the chief minister of the Yunnan Puppet Dynasty." Three cabinet ministers sent it urgently.
Zhao Han took it over and read it carefully. He didn't take it seriously, so he threw it aside and ignored it.
Li Banghua asked: "Your Majesty, don't you want to take Yunnan quickly?"
Zhao Han explained: "The stubborn problem in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi is not the puppet imperial court, but the chieftains, large and small. If it is not to change the native land and return it to the local people, the southwest propaganda can be fixed, so there is no need to attack with heavy troops for many years? The Guangxi army is fighting
It's really understandable that you should be slow."
During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, every time there was a change of state, a battle had to be fought first.
And I dare not take the initiative to suggest that it was a certain chieftain who committed a serious crime, and after the conquest, he returned to his native land. Otherwise, it would hurt the same kind of people, causing the chieftains everywhere to rebel. This can probably be understood as cutting down the vassal, and the vassal king committed the crime.
Only when you make a mistake can you cut down the vassal. If you accuse someone casually of cutting off a vassal, it will cause trouble.
A large-scale reform of the southwest region was carried out in the Yongzheng period.
Although Yongzheng did not use many external troops, he did an excellent job in domestic affairs, including reforming the country and returning to exile.
Even when the Qing Dynasty was at its peak, the imperial court wanted to attack the chieftains, but the southwestern chieftains resolutely resisted. They fought guerrillas in the mountains and shot poisonous arrows. As a result, the Qing army suffered heavy losses. Yongzheng was so angry that he ordered more than a thousand trees to be chopped down and sealed with blood.
Tree.
In these troubled times, how can the chieftains be captured without mercy?
Li Banghua said: "Returning to local rule can be carried out slowly. According to what Wang Shide, the chief assistant of the puppet dynasty, said in his book, the rulers and ministers of the puppet dynasty in Yunnan were separated, and the chieftains from all over the country were scattered. As long as one division from Sichuan and Guangxi was sent out, the puppet dynasty in Yunnan
The emperor must surrender. The false emperor wants to surrender, and the former Duke of Guizhou, Mu Tianbo, has no reason to resist. By then, the morale of the enemy troops in Yunnan will be greatly reduced, and there will be countless people who surrender to our country. It depends on whether Yunnan can send a message, or Guizhou
It can also be determined by sending a message. After occupying the big and small cities, you can also destroy the chieftains one by one in the name of suppressing the rebellion."
Zhao Han shook his head and said: "It's different. Now that we and the enemy are clearly distinguished, we can completely clear out the chieftains. If it depends on the message, it will be very easy to not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. I'm afraid the chieftains will not be cleaned up very well."
Li Banghua hesitated to speak, and finally gave up his advice.
Pang Chunlai changed the topic and said: "According to reports from Liaodong, Dorgon plans to start a war again this year, and is likely to send troops after the rainy season. In addition, the Hurha tribe sent a secret envoy, saying that the wild Jurchen tribes are willing to surrender to us.
towards."
The Barbarian Jurchens, also known as the Jurchens of the East China Sea, were called the Woji tribes in the Manchu and Qing dynasties.
Hurha belongs to a branch of the savage Jurchens, scattered in the Heilongjiang area. The tribes nearby are collectively called "animal hunters" by the Manchus. They make a living by fishing and hunting, and must pay tribute to the Manchus every year such as mink skins and other items.
The primitive tribes were forced to donate furs, and if they didn't obey, they would burn, kill, and loot. If they obeyed, they would still kill people to establish their authority.
The Qing Dynasty's method of dealing with the savage Jurchens cannot be said to be very similar to Russia's method of dealing with the Siberian natives, it can only be said to be exactly the same!
Nowadays, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is having a hard time, and the exploitation of the savage Jurchens is becoming more and more cruel.
Those savage Jurchen tribes gradually understood the situation. So they traveled long distances and quietly contacted the Datong Army, requesting submission and submission, and requested the Datong Army to send troops to destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty as soon as possible.
Pang Chunlai held out a small box: "This is the Hurha tribe. They collected the largest Dongzhu this year and the largest Dongzhu in the past ten years. They hid it privately and did not pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they secretly sent it as a tribute.
To His Majesty."
Zhao Han opened it out of curiosity, only to find a pale golden pearl the size of a pigeon egg.
Not only is it large in size, it is also round and flawless.
Dongzhu comes in different colors, the light golden color is the best, and the ones as big as pigeon eggs are rare but hard to find.
The savage Jurchen tribe not only wanted to collect mink skins for the Manchus, but also collected Eastern pearls for the Manchus free of charge.
According to legend, the direct reason why Wanyan Agu started his army was that the Liao emperor forced the Jurchens to brave the severe cold and dive into the ice to collect Eastern pearls during spring hunting, which resulted in the death of many Jurchens.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty claimed to be the Later Jin Dynasty, but what they practiced was the story of the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Han played with Dongzhu and said: "Tell the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea, Dongzhu, that it is not easy to collect mink skins. If I unify the Northeast, I will not force them to pay tribute. They can trade with each other, and the treasures they collect can be sold to merchants at market prices.
. The people under my rule will be equal to all ethnic groups. Let them endure the Tatars for another one or two years. As long as there is enough food and grass, the Tatars will be wiped out in one battle."
"I obey!" Pang Chunlai held his hand.
Zhao Han put Dongzhu back into the box and asked: "How is the progress in Sichuan?"
Pang Chunlai replied: "The remnants of the chieftains in eastern Sichuan and western Hunan have been basically eliminated. From the western Sichuan direction, the cities of Jianchang (Xichang), Dechang, and Huichuan (Huili) have been captured. These places are similar to Guangxi, and they are all covered with mountains.
It is easy to attack a city, difficult to march, and even more difficult to go into the mountains to suppress bandits."
Although Sichuan has been captured, there are still many corners and corners, which are also mountainous areas full of toast.
Zhao Han thought carefully and said: "Instruct the troops of Sichuan and Guangxi provinces to kill as many chieftains as they can this year. After the summer harvest next year, troops must be sent to Yunnan and Guizhou. As for the areas that are prone to be attacked by the remaining chieftains after the army is transferred, an inspection department will be set up.
A police station similar to the armed police) was prepared, and farmers and soldiers were recruited and trained on the spot to form an inspection department. The Ministry of Industry was ordered to build armor for the inspection departments of Sichuan and Guangxi provinces."
Li Banghua smiled, Zhao Han still wanted to send troops, and finally he couldn't stand the dilly-dallying anymore.
In the evening, Zhao Han took Dongzhu back.
Arriving at Fei Rulan's courtyard, Zhao Han mysteriously took out the small box: "Guess what it is?"
Fei Rulan asked curiously: "Jade?"
Zhao Han smiled and said, "Even if you miss, you're not far off. Guess again."
"Jewelry?" Fei Rulan said.
"Open it and take a look." Zhao Han didn't let her guess anymore.
The moment the box was opened, Fei Rulan's eyes widened. Sure enough, a woman couldn't resist the temptation of the shiny box.
Fei Rulan said in surprise: "What kind of pearl is this? It's so big, so round, and it's golden."
Zhao Han explained: "The best Dongzhu, the Jurchens from the East China Sea paid tribute."
"Jurchens?" Fei Rulan asked confused, "Isn't it the Tatars? Did the Tatars surrender?"
Zhao Han said in detail: "The Jianzhou Jurchens are the Tatars who rebelled. The Haixi Jurchens have been annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens. As for the East China Sea Jurchens, they were called wild Jurchens in the Ming Dynasty. They lived the worst life and were about to be conquered by the Tatars.
They plundered the population and provided goods for the Tatars to attack. As soon as the ice and snow on the river melted, they had to go into the water to collect pearls, which often froze to death and drowned the pearl divers."
Fei Rulan looked at the Dongzhu in her hand and immediately softened her heart and said: "They are all pitiful people. No matter how precious it is, we cannot have this kind of thing that is contaminated with human life. Your Majesty, please take it back."
Zhao Han couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, you really want to be a good queen."
Fei Rulan said: "Your Majesty wants to be a virtuous king, and I must be a virtuous queen. Only in this way can the couple be happy."
Zhao Han put away his smile and said seriously: "The bitter cold in the Northeast makes it difficult to survive. As long as the pearl divers are not forced to pay tribute, Dongzhu is not a livelihood for them. From now on, let the merchants buy it, and they can make a living by fishing for pearls.
In exchange for food."
As expected, Fei Rulan still liked Dongzhu, and said happily: "Then this Dongzhu... belongs to me?"
Zhao Han nodded and said, "Make it into a pearl flower, or embed it in a hairpin. It will definitely look very nice."
"Do the Jurchens from the East China Sea only pay tribute to this one?" Fei Rulan asked again.
"Just this one." Zhao Han said.
Fei Rulan was immediately even more happy, she was the only one who had it in the harem.
Fei Rulan kept Dongzhu safe and collected it, and Fei Rulan hummed a little tune and felt happy. Suddenly she thought of something again, and ran to Zhao Han to chew on her ears: "How about calling Rumei to sleep with her tonight?"
Zhao Han was startled, then teased: "This is not what a virtuous empress would do."
Fei Rulan blushed and said, "You don't like it. According to my wishes, I won't go crazy with you. It would be embarrassing if word spread."
Fei Rumei was called to have dinner, and then she was pulled into the room to talk in a daze.
After Zhao Han approved the memorial and took it back to the study, he asked the female officer to seal it and take it away, and finally came to Fei Rulan's bedroom.
Fei Rumei stood up and said, "My husband is here. Sister, I will go back to bed first and come back to chat with you tomorrow."
"What's the rush?" Fei Rulan pulled her sister back.
Seeing Zhao Han take off his coat, Fei Rumei remembered the shameful things Pan Qimei told her, and immediately understood what she was going to do tonight.
She instantly blushed to the bottom of her ears, but did not say no to refuse. She was even a little excited and looking forward to it.
The second young lady of the Fei family has a very wild personality and often has strange and bizarre ideas. Even Zhao Zhenfang was led wild by her.
It was summer, the weather was hot, and Zhao Han was sweating again after just taking a shower.
He sat on the edge of the bed with his upper body uncovered, and did not ask the palace maid to help him fan himself. He asked the palace maid away without disturbing him. The two sisters took off their robes, leaving only their silk bellybands, with their pink shoulders and jade backs exposed.
"Come, talk to me for a while." Zhao Han ran to the middle of the bed and lay down.
The two sisters lay down on both sides, with their heads resting on his arms. The feeling made Zhao Han particularly stimulating.
Fei Rumei was also very excited. She lay sideways on her husband's side and said to Fei Rulan on the other side: "Sister, you are so embarrassed."
What a shame, this girl is still smiling, looking eager to try.
On the contrary, Fei Rulan was shy and deliberately changed the topic: "Xiyue has been out of the palace for almost half a year, and I have found a husband for her. She is a student of Jinling University, five years younger than Xiyue, and the student's family is also happy."
Zhao Han's court ladies were usually released to the people at the age of twenty, which was two years later than the Manchu court ladies who were released back to the palace.
Xiyue was Fei Rulan's maid, and she was already in her twenties. Seeing that Zhao Han had not accepted her for a long time, she was released from the palace at the beginning of the year, and the queen even asked someone to find a husband for her.
Fei Rumei knew that her sister was shy, so she deliberately teased: "Sister, you're so big there, it's all exposed." Then she stretched out her hand and said, "Let me touch it to see if it's soft or not."
"You're going to die!" Fei Rulan pretended to fight.
"Hahaha!" Fei Rumei was not afraid and actually touched her.
"Ah, beg for a beating!"
The two sisters started laughing and playing around with each other across Zhao Han's body. It was quite comfortable to rub against his chest.
