"After the death of Emperor Lie, how many people in Zhu Ming's clan tried to take advantage of the chaos to seek great power, dreaming of wearing yellow robes, but they were defeated one after another." Feng Xifan said with a curse: "Min Fan has a distant pedigree among the clan kings. According to the clan's lineage, he
What qualifications do you have to inherit the throne? If you get help from the king, maybe it can be done. If you are so arrogant and arrogant today, the disaster is not far away!"
Since the fall of Emperor Chongzhen in the Northern Capital, many people in the Zhu Ming Dynasty's royal family were secretly happy and had the desire to use divine weapons. Hongguang proclaimed himself emperor, King Lu supervised the country, the Tang and Lu wars, and the pedigrees of King Jingjiang and King Yiyang
Those who are far away and weak will have to struggle.
In the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, such incidents occurred many times. There were many people in the Zhu Ming clan who coveted the throne. Some officials and gentry took credit for "setting policies" and had internal disputes. The promotion of civil servants and military generals was also deeply affected by this trend.
Small imperial courts and some clans that tried to stand on their own had a common tradition and often rewarded their supporters with high-ranking officials. In the increasingly serious national crisis, jueluo was not used to reward meritorious officials who resisted the Qing Dynasty, but was based on whether they were loyal to themselves. In the Southern Ming Dynasty,
Not competing has a lot to do with this.
Chen Yonghua took a closer look, but when Feng Xifan mentioned Zheng Chenggong, he couldn't tell him directly. He pondered for a moment and said euphemistically: "Looking at the various behaviors of Min Fan, they are different from other clans, so they should not be underestimated. I am here to congratulate you."
One of them is that it is most important to give the post of Chaozhou Commander-in-Chief. Otherwise, the title will not be justified, and even if it is occupied, disputes will easily arise in the future."
"Don't I know this truth?" Feng Xifan had a fit. He also felt helpless in the face of the increasingly powerful court, and smiled bitterly. "If Min Fan moves to Guangzhou, we will be asked to do everything in the future, and our lives will be difficult!"
"
"The king has great merits and honors. He is a pillar in the south. Even the imperial court cannot manipulate it at will. Brother Feng, you are too worried." Chen Yonghua felt that Feng Xifan was a little too nervous. As long as Zheng Chenggong is here, with his prestige and achievements, coupled with
Who dares to call around a powerful navy master and do whatever he wants?
"Hey, no one dares to touch your Majesty." Feng Xifan laughed twice. He didn't go into detail when it came to Zheng Chenggong.
……………
The Guangdong Navy of the Qing army was defeated, and the remnants of the Qing navy in various places fled or were destroyed under the successive attacks of the South China Sea Fleet. The control of the South China Sea was in the hands of the Ming army and the Zheng family. When Guangzhou was recovered, the South China Sea Fleet began to focus on attacking the Qing forces in Qiongzhou.
The army, the already dilapidated Yazhou Marine Division, and the Haikou Division Battalion were wiped out one after another. Qiongzhou was exposed like a peeled cooked egg in front of the Ming army.
The highest military officer of the Qing army in Qiongzhou was the town general, which was under the jurisdiction of the Waihai Division. There were seven battalions on land and water, and about 8,000 guardsmen. Most of them were soldiers surrendered by the Southern Ming Dynasty and newly recruited green battalion soldiers. Their combat effectiveness was not strong. They were lost.
It can be said that the navy and Qiongzhou must be defended everywhere, but it is difficult to defend everywhere. These troops are divided into twelve floods, sixteen forts, and fifty-four piers along the border, which are far from enough in wartime.
Guangzhou was captured, Shang Ni was entrusted with the title, the Ming navy's bombardment, and the Marine Corps landed at Haikou, which made the Qing army in Qiongzhou panic and disorganized. Wu Qizhen, the surrendered general of Guangzhou, took the opportunity to read Zhu Yongxing's pardon decree.
Successfully recruited thousands of Qing troops and captured Qiongzhou lightly.
According to the comparison of military strength and equipment, attacking Qiongzhou will not take much effort, but the success of the recruitment still makes Zhu Yongxing satisfied. In this way, although a solid defense circle has not yet been formed around Guangzhou, there is a safer retreat.
body path.
Moreover, Qiongzhou is no less remote than Taiwan. It was developed earlier, and it can provide money, food and materials for the national war with almost no investment. Just like the current attack on Guangdong, most of the occupied areas have full treasury, which can support the Ming army's needs.
Part of it is grain crops. This is very different from that in Dian Province and Guangxi.
Next year, all grain imports will be stopped. Zhu Yongxing made an optimistic estimate. Sichuan is a big household that needs to allocate grain, and Guangxi also needs some. Yunnan Province can meet the standard if it can be self-sufficient. The remaining Annan, Mekong Province, and Guangdong
, Qiongzhou will definitely be able to exceed its food supply and achieve a great balance between its revenue and expenditure.
Stopping the purchase of food from outside can save a lot of money. And the gradual increase in land can encourage and guide the cultivation of cash crops, such as tea trees, sugar cane, medicinal materials, cotton, etc., which can be used for maritime trade, which will also generate a large amount of financial revenue.
Zhu Yongxing felt that the most difficult period was finally over, and politics, economy, and military were all on the right track. Therefore, he was in a good mood today, which made General Qiongzhou feel at ease.
The subordinates of Du Yonghe, the former governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yue, Li Si, Wu Wenwen, and Yin Zhirong, could be said to have surrendered again and again, two or three times. They were all Li Chengdong's generals. They first surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and then rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty;
After the fall of Guangzhou, they fled to Qiongzhou. Facing the crisis, they surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another. Now, they have captured and killed Shang Kexi's cronies in Qiongzhou and returned to the Ming Dynasty. Well, if you think about it, I really don't know how much they have gone through.
Repeatedly, even they may feel embarrassed.
However, Zhu Yongxing did not show any disdain during the summons. Instead, he praised them for their heroic defense against the enemy in the Guangzhou Defense War, which made several people feel quite flattered. To put things into perspective, the Guangzhou Defense War was indeed fought very well.
The brave men, especially Zhang Yue, led their troops to attack several times and achieved quite a lot of achievements. Moreover, these people did not commit any serious crimes when they came to the Qing Dynasty when the situation was irreversible.
Thousands of gold buys horse bones. Zhu Yongxing adopted a lenient policy towards Qing generals such as Xu Erxian, Li Youcai, Miao Wenxiu, and Wu Qizhen, as well as Zhang Yue, Li Si, Wu Wenwen, Yin Zhirong and other former Ming generals, which basically covered the current situation.
The composition of the generals in the Qing army. As the Ming army became stronger and continued to attack cities and seize territory, more and more generals were recruited to surrender and rebel. It was very necessary to set an example.
"Agarwood is the spirit of heaven and earth, and it has been knotted for thousands of years. If it is reborn and knotted again, it will not last for thousands of years, and it is difficult to hope that the treasure will come back. Therefore, it must be picked with restraint, and it cannot be destroyed by excessive picking.
The root cause is that I heard that the troops stationed in Hainan either borrowed their reputations from lawsuits, or borrowed messengers to collect tribute incense, pearl materials, rosewood and other goods. As a result, the people were running around endlessly, still following the wrong footsteps, and their anointing was exhausted." Zhu Yongxing happily accepted it.
He received the agarwood offered by several generals, but he said something that surprised the generals.
Historically, agarwood was mainly distributed in Hainan Island and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. At that time, Hainan Island was called the fragrant island. There is a record of "Hainan agarwood, worth ten thousand yuan, the best in the world." However, due to excessive logging and mining, Hainan ranked first in the world.
Qinnanxiang was almost extinct in the late Qing Dynasty.
Agarwood is precious, and it is said that every inch of incense is valuable. Zhu Yongxing knew that he could make a lot of money, but fishing in the lake was not what he wanted. He also hated it when officials disturbed the people.
"The general is not strict with his subordinates. He is guilty, he is guilty!" Zhang Yue and others were taken aback and hurriedly apologized.
"In the past, the crimes of lax imperial duties were not investigated." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and said: "The Qing government issued an order to purchase. Shang was greedy and specified the amount of tribute incense arbitrarily. Local officials took the opportunity to impose levies and impose unreasonable demands.
, disturbing the people. This trend has arisen since it was isolated, it must be strictly eradicated, and must not be tolerated. You still don’t know the new regulations of our army, so you should study and understand them. Under the soldiers, keep the strong and eliminate the weak, and the government will make arrangements for the people.
, Soldiers should also maintain strict discipline."
"General, I will follow His Highness's teachings, study hard, train well, serve His Highness until death, and contribute to the revival of the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Yue resumed his position as earl and became the leader of the generals, and quickly agreed.
"Well, it's good if you have this determination." Zhu Yongxing smiled and nodded, and said: "Do you know the Mekong and Ha Tien provinces? They are newly expanded areas and also belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty. You first reorganize and train three thousand soldiers as soon as possible
Ma, how about temporarily going to Ha Tien Province to expand the territory for Gu?"
Although the test was not stated explicitly, there was nothing to hide it. Although Zhu Yongxing learned some more euphemistic and obscure expressions and wordings under the quiet influence and teachings of Yicheng and Zhang Weihan, in the end he still had to carefully consider the words spoken by the ancients.
The degree is very different. But it is this characteristic that often gives subordinates a candid impression.
Especially for soldiers, most of them don't like to be beaten in a roundabout way, and they hate the behavior of laughing in front of someone's face and stabbing in the back. It's not like Zhu Yongxing never lost his temper, but when he was scolded in person, the punishment was also explicit. He never
Don't engage in those dark methods.
"As your Highness pointed out, the general will go through fire and water in the end, even if he dies."
It is clear that a few people do not have much objection. After all, no matter who has just surrendered, they must inspect it and use it with caution.
There were almost six thousand surrendered troops in Qiongzhou. His Highness Min only said that he wanted three thousand, and the rest were to be demobilized and resettled. Well, this was also a precautionary measure. Zhu Yongxing separated these surrendered troops, and the stronger ones went to the river.
Fairy, in the future, family members will also move there one after another, and they will probably settle down there.
"Mekong Province and Ha Tien Province are both good places!" Zhu Yongxing said with a smile: "Not only is the land fertile, with three or four crops a year, but there are also many beauties. Don't be dazzled by the time!"
A joke diluted the slightly tense atmosphere just now. Zhu Yongxing hosted another casual banquet for several people. Seeing how flattered they were, Zhu Yongxing felt very satisfied.
Hierarchical concepts will never change. Even in modern society, when leaders go to eat barbecue, it is not on the news. Who is lucky enough to meet, who is not extremely excited, and this is a source of pride and pride.
Zhu Yongxing has a noble status, and these people are rebels and then surrender, and they surrender and then rebel again. What a blessing it is to be able to dine with Zhu Yongxing at the same table.
The enemy who is kneeling should use both hands to help him up. Zhu Yongxing remembered this sentence very deeply, as if it was a line in a TV series. Although he is not completely able to do this, he can try his best to do it.
.
The banquet was over, and the summons was finally over. Zhu Yongxing sat alone in the study, sipping fragrant tea, and slowly smiled.
"If you don't know Chen Jinnan in your life, it's useless to call him a hero." Well, after two days of waiting for the Zheng family to come, it's time to meet him. Thinking about this sentence, I am really looking forward to it!
