Luck is really a wonderful thing. Historically, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties destroyed the Ming Dynasty, and to a large extent, the role of this wonderful thing was demonstrated in many events.
Is there really such a thing as qi? Zhu Yongxing doesn't understand why God is blind, why he wants civilization to be destroyed by barbarism, why he wants China to fall into darkness, and why it wants China to move towards ignorance and backwardness from now on?
But now, luck seems to have been taken back by him, and China's destiny is gradually in his hands. He even believes in the saying, "The heaven and the earth are all the same force when it comes, but when it comes, heroes are not free."
"Well done by Zong Shouyi." After receiving the report from Zong Shouyi, the governor of the Mekong River, Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but praise him and his spirit was lifted.
Although the method of supporting puppets and controlling other countries was first used by Zhu Yongxing in Annan, and he taught this set of ideas, especially to Zong Shouyi, who maintained the expansion of overseas territories, he taught by words and deeds and wrote letters continuously. But this time Zong Shouyi
The actions planned and implemented still make Zhu Yongxing feel gratified and inspired.
Chenla (now the entire territory of Cambodia, including parts of Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam) was previously sandwiched between Siam and Nan Nguyen, and became the stage for the two countries to compete for supremacy. Nan Nguyen failed, and the royal family fled to the Ming Dynasty.
Zheng replaced him; the Siamese royal family was in internal strife and was unable to exert military pressure. Therefore, Chenla now became the object of competition between the Ming Dynasty and Beizheng.
From the overall strength point of view, the Ming Dynasty's strength is strong, but from a local comparison, the number of troops stationed by the Ming Dynasty in the Indochina Peninsula appears insufficient. In particular, most of the navy is transferred north, and most of the Yunnan Province's troops are concentrated in Yunnan and Burma.
For the border, in the Indochina Peninsula, we can only rely on the five to six thousand troops in Mekong and Ha Tien provinces, and the thousands of soldiers in the Annan occupied area.
Even so, in the face of the power of the Ming Dynasty, Beizheng still did not dare to provoke easily. However, in the battle for Chenla, it could expand its territory and avoid conflicts with the Ming Dynasty. After all, Chenla was a weak country.
, whoever gets it belongs to whoever gets it, it just depends on who gets it faster.
Based on this situation, Zong Shouyi tolerated and slowed down his plan to subdue Zhenla without giving up the fight for Zhenla. After another battle for the throne broke out in Zhenla, Zong Shouyi ordered Yichuan Bogao Qilong to mobilize most of his troops.
, and combined with two thousand strong warriors from the central part of the Croat tribe in Mengshan, they sent out troops brazenly. Beizheng also lost no opportunity to intervene in the civil strife in Chenla, hoping to expand its territory.
Decisive and fierce, although the Ming army has fewer troops than Beizheng, it is not inferior in momentum. Therefore, in this intervention operation that took advantage of the civil strife to send troops, the Ming army and Beizheng each gained something.
It ended with a tacit understanding of carving up.
From then on, Zhenla was divided into two. The Ming army supported Nie Fangqiu as the king, while the Beizheng army supported Nie Fangqiu as the king. Each received a large area of land and countless people.
They are all smart, and Zhu Yongxing is more and more impressed by Zheng Gen, the new entrant in Beizheng. Setting up a puppet does not seem to be more domineering and powerful than annexation, but it has its own advantages, that is, it can minimize the resistance of the local people. No need
It takes too much force and too much time to stabilize order.
It can be seen that Zong Shouyi has a very clear and thorough understanding of the current situation. He is not the kind of official who covets immediate credit but causes trouble for his superiors later on. He achieved such ideal results without too much investment. Zhu Yongxing naturally
Very much appreciated.
And Zheng Gen also supported the puppet, which showed his composure and calmness. According to the current strength of the Zheng family, it is completely possible to directly incorporate Zhenla into the territory. But the consequence will be to directly face the Ming Dynasty and Siam. The Ming Dynasty and Siam
Siam will also take this threat seriously. By retaining the name of Chenla and deploying troops that are not enough to thorn in the back of Ming and Siam, just like retaining the buffer of Champa State, Beizheng does not want to cause too much trouble in Ming.
Be careful, and have no intention of meeting the swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty.
Offer humbly and wait patiently? Zhu Yongxing judged that Beizheng adopted the same strategy as most vassal states of the Ming Dynasty in history. When the Ming Dynasty was strong and prosperous, they behaved like Sun Tzu, and were respectful in exchange for benefits; once the Ming Dynasty weakened, they continued to make small moves.
, there are even those who are extremely ambitious.
But Zhu Yongxing thought carefully and combined with other intelligence, he felt that this was not entirely the case. Beizheng had long been in contact with the Dutch. During the third southern expedition, Dutch artillery was used, and Dutch warships assisted. It seems that it has become more and more serious in recent times.
Obviously, behind the forbearance and submissiveness, Beizheng seems to be showing signs of using Xiyi to strengthen itself.
In nearly half a century of fierce fighting between the north and the south, Beizheng mobilized up to 100,000 troops, while Nanruan, which has a vast territory and a sparse population, only had about 20,000 standing troops. However, Nanruan purchased a large number of Western firearms and introduced Portuguese firearms.
Cannon-casting workshop. Relying on the strength of firearms, if Nanruan had not been weakened by the Ming army and France, according to the original history, Beizheng would not have easily won the victory.
I believe that during the Civil War, Beizheng also realized the power of firearms. Now it is seeking further exchanges and cooperation with the Western Yi. The target it wants to target is also obvious, which is the Ming Dynasty, which is becoming increasingly powerful and full of expansion.
Although Beizheng's comprehensive strength cannot be compared with that of the Ming Dynasty, it is the only obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's expansion in the Indochina Peninsula. According to Zhu Yongxing's thinking model, Beizheng has been listed as the primary target of attack.
In fact, what excites Zhu Yongxing is not just the expansion of overseas territories, but the harvest of money and food. No matter whether the country is strong or weak, no matter whether the people are rich or poor, in feudal society, the vast majority of kings and royal families are rich
The same was true for the exiled Nanruan royal family, and the same was true for Shuizhenla, which was controlled by the Ming army. The food and money collected by Zong Shouyi could be regarded as solving Zhu Yongxing's urgent need.
Although Zhu Yongxing worked hard to come up with many ways to solve the financial problem, it would take some time to be effective. The unexpected acquisition of money and food will undoubtedly enable the court to survive this more difficult period. According to more traditional words
, Zong Shouyi can be said to have "won my heart". According to Zhu Yongxing's thinking, there will be it when needed. What is this if not luck?
"The people in the North should be able to survive this winter." Zhu Yongxing sighed with emotion, picked up a pen and signed and stamped the relief document.
The financial gap lies in how to resettle the people in the North. Even if they at least prevent them from starving to death or freezing to death, it is a great kindness of the imperial court. As for military supplies, the Ministry of Revenue has calculated that it can support them until the beginning of next spring. And as
With the implementation of various measures, the difficult period before taking effect can be said to be over.
Zong Shouyi is good, very good. Zhu Yongxing is already the king of billions. According to feudal tradition, he is rich all over the world. Money is nothing to him. But looking at the list of seizures, he still increases the weight of Zong Shouyi in his heart.
, the secondary assistant position left for Zong Shouyi was also consolidated.
