Thanks to Brother Ren, Mr. Anonymous, Irrever Private, Nine Heavens Moving, White Cloud Passing 01, The Whip Holder and other book friends for their rewards and monthly passes. I wish my friends success in their work and a happy life.
First the Jing'an Army, and later he will establish a rebel army based on loyalty, and use Annan people to fight Annan people. This is the highest level. Zhu Yongxing thought about it in his heart, with a friendly smile on his face, turned to Huang Xiuren and said: "These soldiers are all
Have the fields been distributed? We want them to have no worries so that they can work with peace of mind!"
"Your Highness has a kind heart. I would like to express my gratitude to Your Highness for your kindness on behalf of these officers and soldiers." Huang Xiuren first bowed and saluted, and then said with a flattering smile: "Governor Zheng Hua spared no effort to end the chaos. He has donated all his land.
Ten acres for soldiers, twenty acres for mid-level officers, and forty acres for senior officers, all have been allocated. Therefore, these officers and soldiers are full of energy and want to kill Shenglong immediately to get rid of the rebellious traitor Zheng."
"Okay, it's good if you have this intention." Zhu Yongxing didn't care in his heart, but he still praised him. As for the puppet army, it is an achievement if it can be established.
Those who seek refuge will be generously rewarded by high-ranking officials and given financial rewards, and those who are stubborn will be suppressed with an iron fist. Especially in the early stages of governance, role models like Huang Xiuren and others must be treated well and promoted.
These Annan captives will also set an example, dividing the land and giving low taxes. It is impossible not to arouse the envy of other Annan people. When their lives get better first, their influence will be greater and more coveted. Then come
, come and serve the Ming Dynasty. The benefits are great. In this regard, Zhu Yongxing is quite confident. The common people all have the vision and hope to pursue a better life and make their families live a happier life.
"You must deeply understand the goodwill between the Ming Dynasty and Annan, and you must always talk about it and widely publicize the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty in saving the people from water and fire. Well, if you do your best, your career will be around the corner... Not only must you love your soldiers like your sons,
We must also love the people as our sons. Discipline must not be relaxed. Those who commit crimes must not be tolerated. The people must feel the difference from the Zheng family's strict rule..." Zhu Yongxing summoned several more Annan officers to comfort him with gentle words.
, there are also stern warnings.
Huang Xiuren and other Annan officials respectfully obeyed their orders. They also praised and complimented him a lot. Zhu Yongxing was kind and kind, and he said some words of encouragement before leaving under the protection of his personal guards.
The advisory group only provides training and supervision on the surface. The Jing'an Army also has Chinese ears and eyes, with both bright and dark lines, so that Zhu Yongxing and others can use it with peace of mind. Of course, the current Jing'an Army is only used in a decentralized manner and is only responsible for maintaining public order.
It will take some time to observe and test.
As for the captives whose families are in the areas controlled by the Zheng family, they can only be used as free labor. They reclaim wasteland, renovate water conservancy, repair and build houses, and contribute to the rapid recovery of the dilapidated occupied areas. As for the stipulation that one out of every ten cultivators is allocated, Zhu Yongxing
Against all odds, these prisoners were treated equally. In the long run, after these prisoners were released, how could they know that they would not envy the good life and system here and move their families to join them?
Although it is difficult to swallow it all now, Zhu Yongxing already regards Annan as his own territory. If he takes a longer-term view, there will be less resistance in the future.
…………….
As soon as Zhu Yongxing returned to the mansion, he received a report that an envoy sent by the Mo family had arrived, including Yan Yongde, the general of the Southern Ming Dynasty who had fled to Gaoping for refuge.
"The Mo family is so useless." Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but feel a little angry, "Half of the Taiyuan soldiers have been taken away, and they are still unable to lay siege. I originally hoped that they could contain the Zheng family to some extent, but it didn't work at all. Now it's coming again.
What are you doing, do you want me, the Ming army, to shed blood and help to expand the territory for his Mo family?"
"Your Highness." Liu Zuochen, the former director of the Mission Department and now the minister of the Mission Department, advised tactfully: "Although Mo is incompetent, we should still treat him with gentle words at this time. In the long run, Mo will indeed have the effect of containing Zheng.
In addition, Mr. Mo's ability to remember our kindness to the Ming Dynasty and to shelter and protect our Ming Dynasty officials also deserves praise.
Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said: "How could I not know that I am just unhappy in my heart? There are also those chieftains from Yunnan Province who were on the fence when our army attacked Annan. Now that they see an advantage to be taken, they all pounced on me, but I
What can be done?”
"Your Majesty has sent people to warn those chieftains that they must abide by His Highness's orders and gain land at the expense of the people. He has also informed them of His Highness's order on regional autonomy and asked them to choose as soon as possible." Liu Zuochen hurriedly consoled him: "Everything will happen soon.
Everything will go smoothly, Your Highness doesn’t have to worry about it.”
Zhu Yongxing nodded helplessly, reached for a document on the desk, looked through it briefly, and signed and stamped it. This document was that the Mission Department was upgraded to the Mission Department, which consisted of two departments: military and civilian, and two
Application report for principal candidate.
"Both Ma Shaoyu and Chen Hongfan can serve with sincerity, and..." Liu Zuochen wanted to add a few words, but was interrupted by Zhu Yongxing waving his hand.
"Ziqiao is conscientious and down-to-earth in his work, I can trust him." Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly, paused, and said: "Zheng Hua and the women in the Annan officials' mansion, well, those with innocent family backgrounds are allowed to be given to veterans and disabled soldiers.
Go! If the quantity is not enough, you can buy it with money. Also, remember to pay a betrothal gift from the seized property, or use the land to offset it."
Parents' orders, matchmaker's words. When marrying a chicken, follow the chicken, and when marrying a dog, follow the dog. This was the standard of behavior for women in that era. Even if they were bought, most of them would follow their husbands and take care of the family in a well-behaved manner, and there were few rebellious ones.
Therefore, although Zhu Yongxing felt a little awkward, he could only comply with this habit and tradition.
"Yes, I will take care of it immediately." Liu Zuochen bowed. Zhu Yongxing did what he said and did not lust after women, which made him admire him even more.
"By the way, if you don't make a big mistake, let the married soldiers not treat those Annan women harshly. People change people's hearts. If you are good to her, she will be good to you." Zhu Yongxing didn't know how much implementation and compliance his words would get.
, I think I have fulfilled my conscience and duty, "Annan women are very capable and not clumsy. Oh, there is also a language problem. We can set up a short training class, or set up Chinese learning classes in every village and town, so that Annan people can
Let’s all learn some daily Chinese. Or—Ziqiao. Just work harder and think about it!”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter well and live up to Your Highness's kind heart." Liu Zuochen was quite surprised that Zhu Yongxing paid so much attention to and cared about women, but he still respectfully agreed.
The idea of equality between men and women has penetrated into Zhu Yongxing's mind. He regards women as slaves and playthings and destroys their personality or sexuality. This is something that he cannot accept in any case.
Moreover, as he said, there have always been special situations in Annan where there are more women than men. Therefore, on the one hand, this has caused the low social status of Annan women, and on the other hand, it has also enabled Annan women to do the same jobs as men.
Hard-working character.
"Summon the Mo family's envoy!" Zhu Yongxing leaned back on his chair reluctantly and said in a half-hearted tone: "It's good to help them. Shenglong's side should be unable to hold on any longer. Even if they are to advance the negotiations, they should hurry up
Let’s end the Annan strategy!”
…………….
In 1659 AD, the thirteenth year of Yongli, the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, and July 23rd of the Gengzi year, the Zheng family of Shenglong finally signed the negotiation document, which was known in history as the "New Peace Treaty at Ming Dynasty" and Annan called it
It is called the "Gengzi Peace Treaty".
The main contents of the peace treaty are: the Ming Dynasty and Hou Li established friendly, mutual assistance and peaceful coexistence; reaffirmed suzerainty, Annan accepted the protection rights of the Ming Dynasty and paid an annual tribute of 10,000 taels; allowed the Ming Dynasty to station troops in the area north of Yen Bai;
The area along the Red River was a demilitarized zone. Mutual trade was opened. The two sides established joint management departments and dispatched officials to each other. They also established joint quasi-security forces to maintain order, but were not allowed to block people's exchanges. The Ming Dynasty was allowed to use the Red River as a platform for overseas business.
passage; pay an indemnity of 100,000 taels of silver; recognize Mo's control over Qixi Langshan... The Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops from the south of Yen Bai;
We should retract our words of ending the chaos; if there is a conflict between Li Mo and Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty should be neutral; if the Ruan family in Guangnan attacks, the Ming Dynasty should provide assistance...
This is an unequal treaty. Although the wording is carefully considered, the occupation is described as garrison protection, and the compensation is described as resettlement fees. Although I try not to embarrass the Zheng family too much, the essence cannot be changed. The Ming army occupied a large area of land.
, received war reparations, and obtained commercial navigation rights from the Red River to the sea. The main purpose has been achieved, and the Annan Strategy can be said to be a great success.
Zhu Yongxing was eager for stability, so he was much looser in terms of compensation and peace terms, and did not force the Zheng family too much. He was just a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and he might be able to take it without a fight in the future.
The Zheng family had to bow their heads because the situation was already extremely dangerous. The Ming army moved south from Yuechi and pushed towards Thang Long; with the support of the Ming army, the Mo family captured Taiyuan and then attacked the east of Thang Long to block the Beijiang River; the Ruan family in the south increased their troops and became more virtuous.
There were also warships gathering at Rili Haikou, including the fortresses and Changyu fortresses, with the intention of advancing by land and water to the north. Concerned about internal and external troubles, the Zheng family unsurprisingly chose to compromise with the outside world. After a truce with the Ming army, they asked the Ming army to restrain Mo.
Only in this way can we concentrate our strength to deal with Nan Ruan's unusual movements.
As for the Mo family, in addition to Gaoping, they also acquired Qixi, Langshan, Tingli, Xian'an and other places. Although they withdrew from Beijiang and Taiyuan under the pressure of the Ming army, judging from the ratio of effort to harvest,
It is also fair. Moreover, the Ming army privately made a promise to the Mo family that if the Zheng family attacked, the Ming army would send troops to assist. Without the support of the Ming army, the Mo family knew that they were no match for the Zheng family, so they would have to rely on the Ming army in the future.
, and dare not feel resentful.
The area where troops were stationed in the peace treaty was very large. Although the Ming army only occupied one-third of it, the gains at the negotiation table exceeded those of the war. After the conclusion of the treaty, the Hou Li court ordered the soldiers and civilians in these areas to stop resisting, and the officials
The soldiers all withdrew.
Most of the officials obeyed the orders, but the local Annan soldiers could not leave their relatives and hometown behind, and had doubts about their life after retreating to the area under the jurisdiction of the Zheng family. Therefore, under the propaganda of tax reduction and exemption, Qiu Wugui, some
Many people took off their military uniforms and chose to follow the orders of Zheng Hua, the governor of Annan's envoy, and returned home to wait for resettlement.
In this way, the Ming army, the Zheng family, and the Mo family formed a temporary balance of power in Annan. Although the Zheng family was no longer in danger of falling, it was still in a disadvantageous position. It was in a disadvantageous position between the Ming army, the Mo family, and the Ruan family.
Under attack, they did not dare to act rashly. At least until the Ming army's promise to release all prisoners of war in six months was fulfilled, the Zheng family could not accumulate the strength to counterattack.
In six months, the free labor should be able to build the occupied area well; in six months, the action to aid Yuanjiang Nasong's anti-Qing uprising should bear fruit; in six months, Annan's foundation should be solidified.
Zhu Yongxing had a successful plan. Not only did he want to squeeze the labor of the prisoners of war, but he also wanted to win over a batch of prisoners of war. Of course, the success of the Annan strategy finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief and start seriously planning the anti-Qing campaign in September.
Whatever he does, a good start is very important. Nasong's transformation made Zhu Yongxing happy, and his confidence in victory increased a lot.
The power of the sky-blasting cannon, the ferocity of the Ming army's field battles, and the indiscriminate display of Annan's elephant soldiers... these all gave Nasong a great stimulus. Originally, he was quite confident in the combat effectiveness of his native soldiers, but compared with the two,
He then had a clearer and more accurate understanding.
The native soldiers may be able to defeat the same number of Annan soldiers in field battles, but they will never be able to defeat the Ming army. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is similar to that of the Qing army, or even slightly inferior. From this point of view, even if there are war elephants, they can rely on
It was also very difficult for the native soldiers to defeat the Qing army in a field battle.
"The governor's analysis and judgment is very correct." Zhu Yongxing agreed very much with Nasong's conclusion. In fact, this was also the purpose he wanted to achieve by inviting Nasong to observe the battle. "But don't belittle yourself. The Qing army has field advantages, and the native soldiers also have their own
Advantages. The key depends on how to use them."
"Your Highness is unparalleled in his wisdom and martial arts, in his literary skills and military acumen. When Yuanjiang will start an uprising and how to arrange it, it all depends on His Highness's planning."
After hearing and witnessing, Nasong put away his pride. War was not as simple as he thought. Not only compared with Zhu Yongxing, but also compared with those Ming army generals who had experienced battles for a long time, he also felt the gap.
He simply handed over the military planning, and only used the influence of the Yuanjiang Na clan to be responsible for external liaison and win the support of the generals who surrendered to the Qingming Dynasty and the surrounding chieftains.
"Haha, how can I take on this important task by myself?" Zhu Yongxing was very satisfied with Na Song's statement, but still decided to give Na Song a face, "One person is short of wisdom, and everyone is wise. I plan to set up a small staff group in Yuanjiang to...
The governor is at the head, and there are Chen Guogong Wu Zisheng, Xu Guogong Ma Weixing, and the generals Li Chengjue, Huang Yuancai, and Zhao Desheng, assisting them. I wonder what the governor thinks?"
The two princes and the three generals still put themselves at the head. Naturally, Nasong knew that Zhu Yongxing was doing this to look good for himself and expressed his gratitude.
"It all depends on His Highness's arrangements, and all subordinates will obey your orders." Na Song readily nodded in agreement.
The next arrangement made Na Song even more aware of Zhu Yongxing's sincerity. He received half of the 100,000 taels of war compensation, twenty sky-blasting cannons, and two thousand captured muskets. The instructor also sent more than two hundred, but no
Seize the position of the native soldiers officer under Na Song.
Selfless assistance? It should be like this. Zhu Yongxing knew that this was definitely not the time to be selfish and stingy. Facing a powerful enemy, he must unite sincerely and unite all the forces that can be united. Only then could he rely on some of his foresight to first
Yunnan Province has reversed its precarious situation.
If the Battle of Tengchong is a desperate counterattack and a fight for survival from the dead, the Battle of Yuanjiang is a battle to consolidate the foundation and reverse the battle. Therefore, it is inevitable that Zhu Yongxing did not pay attention to it and was not careful. In Tengchong, he seemed to have lost only
A gambler with only one pair of underwear left. Now, he has some gambling money in his hand. If he throws the dice, he will get a pass to win the money.
"...the native soldiers are familiar with the terrain and can be divided into small groups to harass along the road to delay and exhaust the Qing army; the city of Yuanjiang must be reinforced, the musketeers must be trained, and ammunition and food must be hoarded to be prepared to fortify the city and defeat the enemy; the terrain around Yuanjiang must be
Survey and survey to know where to defend and where to ambush; build more ships, recruit sailors and boatmen, and if possible, organize a small naval force. In this way, the river can be defended, which can block the Qing army.
It can also destroy the pontoon bridge built by the Qing army, so that Yuanjiang City will not be surrounded and isolated..."
Participating in the military meeting were not only Chen Guogong, Wu Zisheng and other small staff members who would go to Yuanjiang, but also senior generals such as Ma Bao and He Jiuyi. Because in Zhu Yongxing's view, the Yuanjiang War was not a local battle, but the entire Ming Army in Yunnan Province.
It is an integral part of a major battle. Therefore, we must consider everything, take a comprehensive view, and set the main tone.
"Your Highness." Chen Guogong Wu Zisheng cupped his hands and said: "If Yuanjiang mainly takes precautions, it should be fine. Your Highness the King of Jin in Central Yunnan and our army in Annan can all support you. The Na family can unite the chieftains and gather tens of thousands of local soldiers.
.The Qing army attacked from afar and lost food and grass. If it cannot attack for a long time, it will retreat."
Zhu Yongxing shook his head slightly and said: "If we defend passively, how can we reverse the situation? The Yuanjiang uprising is just a part of the Ming army's grand campaign in Yunnan Province, and it is not just that. If the Qing army mainly attacks Yuanjiang, our army should be there
Defend at Yuanjiang and counterattack in western Yunnan; if the Qing army attacks central or western Yunnan, our army should leave from Yuanjiang and go north to threaten Kunming. In other words, our army should form a strength advantage in a certain local area and take the offensive;
Defend a certain local area to contain the Qing army. You——"
Everyone seemed confused and confused. Zhu Yongxing couldn't help scratching his head and laughed first.
All the generals present also burst into laughter with different expressions.
Prince Ma Bao of Ruyang smiled and cupped his hands to Zhu Yongxing, and said: "Your Highness, what you said is a bit unfathomable, and the general is stupid. I don't understand what it means."
Zhu Yongxing spread his hands and laughed at himself: "I was wrong. Well, I will just tell you my specific thoughts and ask you to think about it and see how we can make it better."
This grand strategy of counterattack in Yunnan Province is actually not very complicated. What Zhu Yongxing means is to transfer the main force to the west, join forces with Jin Wang Li Dingguo and Zhao Wang Bai Wenxuan, launch an offensive in western Yunnan, strive to capture Yongchang and Dali, and open up Sichuan.
However, as for the Yuanjiang uprising, it was first a kind of containment. After the offensive in western Yunnan was completed, the army then moved down the Yuanjiang River to jointly attack the Qing army.
In short, it is to first go to the west and then to the east, concentrate the use of troops, fight continuously, beat the time difference, and strive to gain something in both western and eastern Yunnan.
