Shang Kexi knew that his death was imminent, so he asked his son Shang Zhixiao to make arrangements for the golden cicada to escape from its shell in advance. There was a fire in the palace, and the body was burned beyond recognition. No one must have known that Shang Zhixiao was still alive and hiding in the cellar of a house.
However, when the tree fell and the monkeys dispersed, everyone looked after their own people. Back then, the city of Beijing was captured by the Dashun Army, and the crown prince of Chongzhen was also turned away by his grandfather. Now, Shang Zhixiao and others were also reported and captured alive.
Zhu Yongxing made a decision without even wanting to see the people who were captured alive. As for the whistleblower, although he despised him in his heart, as long as it was beneficial to his side, rewards were necessary. After all, with encouragement and publicity, he would be able to
There are more guys like this.
Yicheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Jin Yinjun is known as a famous person. Can Your Highness please meet him? If you can conquer him——"
Zhu Yongxing raised his head and glanced at Yicheng, and said: "Famous people are not like this. Nanxiong Massacre, Guangzhou Massacre. These people are all in the Shang Ni Army, can you give me a word of advice? Self-gratification for righteousness. People who act as the accomplices of tigers, even if
If you have knowledge, what’s the merit?”
"I have made a mistake in my humble position. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Yi Chengjian's suggestion was rejected, and he quickly bowed down to plead guilty, and then said: "In this case, his crime will be made known to the world and no one else will discuss it."
Killing scholars and famous scholars has always been a taboo. Even the most evil people often pretend to be benevolent and virtuous. Yi Cheng's suggestion was not because of his personal relationship with Jin Yinjun, but because of Zhu Yongxing's consideration.
Of course Zhu Yongxing knew this, he smiled slightly and said: "The long history considers the lonely king, how can I blame him? Well, since he is called a famous scholar, he must be beheaded in a justified manner. As for courtesy and virtuous corporal, one must also observe his character.
Look at his behavior. Gu is very picky!"
"His Highness has extremely high vision, and it is naturally difficult for people like Jin Yinjun to fall into His Highness's eyes." Yicheng smiled and said, "The newly appointed local officials have arrived in Guangzhou, and Your Highness can summon him at his own time."
"Then let's have a casual banquet in the evening, which is both a welcome and a farewell." Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded, "Guangdong is newly restored. Quickly stabilizing the place is a top priority."
"I'll make arrangements for that humble post." Seeing that Zhu Yongxing had no more instructions, Yi Cheng said goodbye and left.
During Yongli's hunting tour, normal imperial examinations were naturally unable to be held. However, this was exactly what Zhu Yongxing wanted. He used academies to select talents and then appointed officials after training. This model was run and perfected through exploration, and it is gradually becoming a routine and a law.
Through the academy, the place where honors and official positions are awarded, Zhu Yongxing is controlling the administration of officials in the Ming Dynasty. Who can be an official now can only be a student of the academy who has studied the teaching materials designated by Zhu Yongxing and is familiar with the current policies implemented by the Ming Dynasty.
, instead of the rotten literati who only knew "these" and "the four books and five classics" who were selected through the imperial examination in the past.
Therefore, Zhu Yongxing had both literary and military skills, and firmly controlled the Jiangwu Hall and the Academy. Because he was the principal of the Jiangwu Hall and the dean of the academy, all those who graduated from these two cadre training schools were considered Zhu Yongxing's students.
In ancient times, the reputation of this teacher was no small matter. To bully the teacher and destroy the ancestors was even more unacceptable and despised by thousands of people.
Because of this, Zhu Yongxing attached great importance to the martial arts lecture hall and the academy. He often showed up, spoke modestly and easily, and tried to get close to him. Whenever he graduated, Zhu Yongxing personally issued certificates, military ranks and other certificates.
During this Eastern Expedition, a large area was captured at once. Zhu Yongxing did not return to Guangzhou and missed the graduation ceremony for the first time. Now, these students who will serve as local officials after graduation have come to Guangzhou, and Zhu Yongxing also wants to take advantage of this opportunity.
Make up for it.
Moving the martial arts hall and academy is something that is planned and is being prepared. However, there are speculations from the outside world, but Zhu Yongxing and the upper-level officials have not made a definite statement. The key is still to consider and judge whether Guangzhou can be safe and sound.
.
The king of Ruyang, Ma Bao, led his army to continue to advance eastward, including Huizhou, Heyuan, Chaozhou, and Meizhou, trying to expand the occupied area to the east of Guangzhou and provide Guangzhou with an eastern barrier; after the Syrian male Wei Xing, who was originally stationed in Liuzhou, captured Wuzhou, he again
Marched troops to Hezhou to defend the northwest direction of Guangzhou; Prince Li Sixing of the Jin Dynasty, General Wei Junzhong, and Yan Weilong led an army north from Qingyuan and advanced to Shaozhou. After capturing Shaozhou, they guarded the Great and Small Meilings and blocked the Qing army from invading from Jiangxi.
Guangdong’s access road.
The armies of the Eastern Expedition were sent out in four directions, one was to attack cities and seize territory, and the other was to create safety for the exodus. Generals such as Ma Bao knew this very well. Since the Eastern Expedition, the Ming army has expanded several times and now has more than 70,000 soldiers.
More than 40,000 of the troops were veterans of the Ming Army, all equipped with flintlock muskets and bayonets. The other troops were recruits composed of volunteer villagers from Guangxi and Guangdong, nearly half of whom were armed with swords, spears, bows and arrows and other cold weapons.
The arsenal produces more than 4,000 muskets a month, and imports are subject to financial conditions. It is normal for the violent military expansion to cause gaps in weapons. What's more, the arsenal produces not only guns, but also artillery and ammunition. After several wars, it can
The support already satisfied Zhu Yongxing.
Although muskets and bayonets have great advantages in battle, cold weapon troops also have combat effectiveness, especially when the enemies they face are mainly green soldiers. The weapons are of the same level. What determines victory or defeat is the will to fight. Pingnan Wangfan
The generals were wiped out in two battles in Xinhui and Guangzhou, creating the most favorable conditions for the Ming army to attack and plunder in all directions.
Zhu Yongxing controls the distribution of weapons to the Army, but is very generous to the Navy. The expansion quota of the Marine Corps is 10,000 people, and it has only recruited more than 5,000 people, but there are 6,000 muskets in the warehouse ready for distribution. It cannot be blamed.
Zhu Yongxing favors one over the other. In fact, the navy will become the most powerful force to contain the Qing army's large-scale march south. According to the time, the Qing government will definitely take targeted actions in one month, and then it will be the time for the navy to take action.
The first to be dispatched should be the newly formed Yangtze River Navy. One hundred and thirty ships, three thousand marines, cannon crews, sailors, etc., totaling more than 6,000 people. General Chen Linghai, who is capable of both literary and military skills and has a steady personality.
Shangchuan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Yangtze River Navy. This was also an arrangement to facilitate dealings with the Thirteenth Family.
The rapid expansion of the Ming army at sea and land is inseparable from the tyranny of the Qing government's "coastal relocation". Just as the people of Yunnan Province, after experiencing the torture of the Qing army, stepped forward in grief and indignation.
Only Zhu Yongxing could give full play to his golden fingers and turn the tide. The same is true for the people of Guangdong and Guangxi, especially the people in coastal areas. After being liberated by the Ming army, they returned to their homeland, resumed their old careers, and cherished the hard-won turning point even more.
They all say that the southerners are cowardly, but they ignore that whether the Mongolian or Qing armies went south, they encountered desperate resistance from the so-called "cowardly" southerners. It's just that carnivores are contemptible, whether it was the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty or the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
It did not show wise and outstanding leadership and failed to fully and effectively mobilize the people. The government led by Zhu Yongxing was different. It already had rich experience in Yunnan Province. Once it entered Guangdong and Guangxi, it implemented the policy step by step, granting land, and
It is a tax reduction, so it is no surprise that it has been supported by the public.
The army is mainly based in Guangxi and the navy is based in Guangdong. Based on the characteristics of the local people, Zhu Yongxing and the staff made a very wise decision. Guangdong has been stable for many years. The wealth is not comparable to that of Yunnan Province, which just experienced the war. Attack the city
In the process of plundering land, the treasury was filled and the gentry's funds were released, which reduced the logistical pressure of the Ming army, accelerated the advance of the Ming army, and also made the financial pressure to expand the army not very great.
The fire in Pingnan Palace destroyed many treasures, but the gold and silver melted into the soil and could be mixed and refined. Shang Zhixiao was exonerated and a lot of valuables were seized. In addition, the homes of war criminals were confiscated, so
The money gained can support post-war relief and some reconstruction work.
Zhu Yongxing looked at the latest statistical data. In terms of military affairs, he now only focuses on big strategies and focuses more energy on finances. The consumption of hot weapons is not comparable to that of cold weapons. If it is a knife or a gun, sharpen it.
, after repairing it, it will be almost usable; bows and arrows can also be recovered and seized. Not to mention the flintlocks used by the Ming army, which are fixed with paper-cased bullets, even if they are loaded with complicated powder, the gunpowder is also new
Basically, you have to make all the recipes yourself.
The consumption of ammunition and supplies will eventually be attributed to money. Therefore, most of the time, Zhu Yongxing is thinking about how to make money and how to make more money faster.
Surprise the wind and clouds, fight decisively on the battlefield, command like a god, and be unstoppable by all enemies. Well, such a dream is getting farther and farther away from Zhu Yongxing, and I am afraid it is also an unrealistic dream. A famous general, that requires experience accumulated with corpses.
The coldness tempered by countless deaths, and the courage tempered by blood and flesh. Although Zhu Yongxing has commanded a few battles, it is far from enough. What's more, his goals have changed, and he admits that he is not the material.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and Zhu Yongxing called out. The person outside pushed the door open and came in. It was Ye Hu from the Intelligence Bureau. After the salute was completed, Ye Hu handed the latest information to Zhu Yongxing.
Zhu Yongxing looked at it carefully, frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "This should be a decision made before Guangzhou was restored. I don't know if there will be any changes."
Ye Hu seemed to have thought about this information and answered quickly, "The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia have always been arrogant. Guangdong was in danger and Shang Ni would be outnumbered. They should have not taken Shang Ni's troops into account. If
As for changes, I think it is more credible to increase the number of troops. After all, there are also some Manchu and Mongolian troops stationed in Zhejiang, and more Han troops will be transferred from Fujian."
This is the urgent information from the Qing court about the dispatch of troops: some 700 cavalry and Mongolian soldiers stationed in Yanzhou, Shandong were transferred to Jiangning (Nanjing), and each of the current troops stationed in Jiangning led 100 cavalrymen.
There were 600 Mongolian soldiers, as well as 700 Manchu soldiers stationed in Huizhou and Chizhou, totaling about 3,000. They were not many in number, but they were elite. They were led by "Pingkou General" Harhaqi and rushed to Guangdong.
"You are saying that the enemy will definitely come, and the number of troops will exceed the planned 3,000." Zhu Yongxing thought, "Unless there are some changes, such as diversion or feint attack. Well, how long do you estimate it will take for the enemy to mobilize and prepare?"
complete?"
"Back to Your Highness, I have calculated with my subordinates that it will take at least a month." Ye Hu paused and guessed: "Maybe this is intentional. The enemy may want to win a victory in the early years of the pseudo-Kangxi period."
"It is possible." Zhu Yongxing was not sure whether this was the case. He calculated the time and said slowly: "If the Yangtze River Navy moves in advance, can the enemy change their deployment and buy some time?
?”
Ye Hu thought for a while and said: "If the navy enters the Yangtze River, if it can take advantage of the situation to threaten Jiangning, it should be able to contain the enemies going south."
Zhu Yongxing smiled and said: "To achieve this effect, the Yangtze River Navy alone may not be enough. The navy must also be dispatched. Well, we need to discuss it carefully before making a final decision."
"Your Highness is planning this, and this will definitely happen." Ye Hu has always had very few expressions, which makes people feel a little indifferent. Zhu Yongxing once jokingly said that he is not like Jin Yiwei, his characteristics are too outstanding. How can he hide in the crowd without showing off. However,
, Habits become natural, Ye Hu wanted to change them, but it was a bit nondescript.
Zhu Yongxing smiled and shook his head. This was not modesty, but that as time went by, changes in history were weakening his ability.
"By the way." Zhu Yongxing remembered something and asked: "The intelligence station in the capital needs to be strengthened. Don't just set up a main station. Setting up sub-stations can avoid risks. Personnel development must be cautious, and the focus is on the protection of each government.
The slaves, even the eunuchs and servants in the palace, and Yang Qilong whom I mentioned before, you can pay due attention to them. It will be better if you can find them."
"Remember your humble position." Ye Hu agreed, hesitated for a moment, and cautiously suggested: "Your Highness, Guangdong is newly restored and the place is not yet stable. Please pay more attention to your safety."
Zhu Yongxing nodded. Before Ye Hu finished speaking, he had already understood what it meant. Entering the city, performing public sacrifices, summoning the gentry, and praising meritorious personnel... He indeed did more activities in public places.
"The place has been decided for the first time, and the people are not at peace. After this period of time, the lonely king will naturally be at ease. Now, it is up to you to pay more attention." Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said: "You don't have to worry too much, Guangzhou is so
They were recovered so quickly, which was beyond the enemy's expectation. By the time they woke up and made preparations, it was too late."
Ye Hu agreed with Zhu Yongxing's judgment in his heart, but this kind of thing should not be taken carelessly. Even if there is the slightest omission, it must be treated with extreme vigilance. There was intelligence before that Li Shutai of Fujian Province sent spies to bribe people close to Zheng Chenggong.
They wanted to poison him to death. Although this conspiracy was discovered and did not succeed, it sounded the alarm to Ye Hu and others. In terms of reputation, Zhu Yongxing is now above Zheng Chenggong. Who knows that the enemy will not repeat the same trick and put him to death?
The target is Zhu Yongxing.
"Perhaps the Ministry of Intelligence can take action to assassinate high-ranking officials in the Qing court in the capital or elsewhere as a deterrent." Ye Hu tentatively made a suggestion.
Zhu Yongxing categorically shook his head and vetoed, "Intelligence agencies in enemy-occupied areas should not carry out such operations unless absolutely necessary. It is dangerous, easy to expose, and the effect may not be good. They should lie dormant for a long time and wait for the opportunity. This purpose cannot be changed.
It cannot change for a long time.”
"I am impatient because of my humble duty. Please forgive me, Your Highness." Ye Hu bowed and apologized.
Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, took out a card from the drawer, and said: "Although it is a hidden front, the work is very important. I have not forgotten that this is the quota for promotion to the rank of officer. You go back and discuss it carefully, and report it as soon as possible!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness." Ye Hu hesitated for a moment and immediately bowed again.
They are not allowed to carry out assassinations because they cherish the lives of their subordinates; being promoted to an official title means that their work has been recognized by Zhu Yongxing, which is a commendation and a reward. Moreover, this quota is given to Ye Hu, which invisibly improves Ye Hu's status.
The status and prestige of a tiger can lead the work better.
I don’t know if Zhu Yongxing thought so much, but Ye Hu did, and he admired Zhu Yongxing even more.
"Pay attention to the situation in Myanmar." Zhu Yongxing ordered calmly, as if he was explaining an insignificant matter.
Ye Hu's heart trembled and he quickly replied: "I haven't relaxed my humble duties. Everything is normal over there."
"That's good." Zhu Yongxing let out a long breath.
Everything is normal, to put it vaguely, but it means that Myanmar's Yongli and the small court are under control, and there are no unexpected situations. Although Myanmar sent a large number of idle personnel, Yongli and those high-ranking officials did not suffer anything. Zheng
Zhaoren used money to recruit local Burmese through Burmese officials to serve as servants in the "palace" to serve the emperor and his lords.
And the material conditions have been greatly improved. Meat and vegetables, clothing and clothing, and even the residences have been repaired. There is only one purpose, to make these people comfortable, and it is best not to miss Shu.
The Zheng family helped Zhu Yongxing, and they did so vigorously. Zhu Yongxing was grateful, but he did not want to condone it, let alone let the Zheng family's power expand too much. It was a very disturbing existence with money and people. Therefore, the intelligence in Myanmar
The personnel are arranged by Ye Hu. Balance and restriction are the methods adopted by Zhu Yongxing to treat the Zheng family, and it is also a measure to prevent him from being deceived.
As long as you are loyal and do not conspire behind my back, Zhu Yongxing will naturally repay the favor, and he has always done so. But if you want to betray or act daringly, Zhu Yongxing also has countermeasures.
People's hearts are fickle. This is what Zhu Yongxing has experienced and seen. Shang Zhixiao is the most recent living example in front of him. Although he has paid great attention to the distribution of interests, he has tried his best to satisfy everyone and make everyone happy.
Everyone thinks that there is a bright future for them to be together. But we are not everyone, and we will not always make mistakes, and we will not guarantee that people who have been close and loyal to us will have different intentions.
Moreover, Myanmar's Yongli has always been a worry, so he has to be cautious. Fortunately, everything is normal now and it won't cause any trouble for him.
Zhu Yongxing was lost in thought for a moment, and he didn't wake up until Ye Hu asked to leave.
