There are a lot of princes and princes. This is caused by historical reasons. If he wants to balance and not have resentment in people's hearts, Zhu Yongxing can only continue to maintain it. However, he is cautious about promoting the power of the new generation. He hopes that in the old age
After one generation retires, this situation can slowly change.
Judging from the current military situation, through the enrichment of military officers, a series of retirements, recruitment, transfers, and the replacement of troops without changing generals, and the replacement of generals without changing troops, the original factional composition has been initially disrupted.
As long as the imperial court pays enough, as long as the resettlement and pension measures are appropriate, even senior generals will find it difficult to build up their own strength and have the opportunity to support their own troops.
The officers also see this clearly, and are trying their best to eliminate the imprint of being a certain faction. Needless to say, the origins of the Daxi Army and the Dashun Army. After all, they are from shady backgrounds and have long wanted to clear their names; as for the Wu Clan troops,
The same is true. After all, he surrendered and worked as a lackey for the Manchus. It was not an honor. There were also a large number of former Zheng soldiers in the navy. They all knew that the young emperor was ambitious and would never let the Zheng family go.
Taiwan has been under separate rule for too long. Who dares to get involved in this?
Therefore, until now, Zhu Yongxing has been quite successful in integrating the army. The key reason is that he can treat his subordinates fairly and fairly, and always face the world with a kind and trustworthy attitude. Otherwise, his background and experience cannot be used
The various generals can rest assured, but they cannot reassure the various interest groups who support him, and they cannot even reassure the common people about the various policies he has introduced.
Hao Yaoqi walked around and found that everything was messy and not very interesting. When he returned to the palace gate, King Zheng Liu Tichun was striding in with a few guards.
"Your Highness Zheng." Hao waved his flag in greeting and told the general situation.
"You ran too fast. It's a pity that you captured Zheng Zha and King Annan alive!" Liu Tichun shook his head with some regret, waved back, and strolled and talked with Hao Yaoqi.
"When His Majesty was delivering his speech in Nanjing, Long Live once asked me about my plans, well, that is, whether I would like to fight abroad or join the Ministry of War as a counselor." Liu Tichun said very calmly. It seemed to be narrating, but also seemed to be asking, "At that time, I
The king felt that his military achievements were not significant, so he said that he would continue to fight for Banzai in all directions. Although Banzai did not reject it, I saw his intention and still hoped that I would return to the Ministry of War to serve."
"This is very common!" Hao Yaoqi said thoughtfully: "Pi Xiong is old, and where is the Ministry of War? It is best to have leaders from all parties. In my opinion, if the King of Jin does not join the Ministry of War, he will be the King of Zhao.
Go to Wu Sangui and a certain senior general of the Navy, and that will be all."
"Yes, there must be people from all sides." Liu Tichun agreed, sighed softly, and said: "To be honest, I still want to stay outside and return to the Ministry of War. That would be to take care of my life and make no further achievements. But I can turn around.
And when I think about it, I am already ranked as the one-word king, where can I go further? If I insist on being outside, I am afraid that I will be suspicious!"
Hao Yaoqi shook his head and said: "Long Live will never doubt His Highness, it's just a need for balance."
"Haha, it's exactly what is needed for balance!" Liu Tichun followed suit, smiled, and said: "As soon as the war breaks out here, I will report to the court and ask for the deployment of the military department. Well, what about you, what are your plans?"
"Listen to the imperial court's arrangements, what plans can I have?" Hao Yaoqi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "As for battles like this, I would like to fight more. The achievement of destroying a country is effortless and the harvest is abundant.
.”
"Then try to go to the southwest!" Liu Tichun stopped and said earnestly: "The imperial court is sure to use troops abroad. I guess Myanmar is in doom. As for the troops stationed in the southeast, Long Live I am afraid that they will have to cross the ocean to conquer Luzon. You
In the southwest, it is still domestic. If you go overseas -" After a pause, Liu Tichun patted Hao Yaoqi on the shoulder affectionately, "We old brothers, we can meet occasionally and talk about our hearts.
It is also a pleasure to brag and quarrel together."
"I understand." Hao Yaoqi nodded vigorously, deeply understanding Liu Tichun's thoughts. He was indeed a little afraid of the ocean, and fighting on land was more suitable for him.
……………
The war to destroy the country was carried out at a speed that shocked the world. It was completed within seven days, and the dust settled within fifteen days.
Thang Long Mansion was occupied, and Zheng Zha took Shenzong with him and fled south to Guangping, where he was defeated by a section of Chishuo's army. Zheng Zha and Shenzong were captured alive.
When Zheng Gen, a clan member of the Zheng family in Kontum, heard the news that Rili Fort had been captured, he immediately led all his troops to the north, hoping to recapture it and open up communication with the north. More than 30,000 troops desperately attacked under Rili Fort, and the troops were not strong enough.
They had the upper hand, but their firepower was no match for the Ming army, and they suffered heavy casualties. When the captured Zheng Zha was brought to the top of the city, and the edict of Hou Li's Shenzong was read, the morale of Zheng's army was immediately in chaos. Zheng Gen could not control it, so he had to lead the remaining troops.
Withdrew to the south. The Ming army took advantage of the situation to pursue, but the Zheng army collapsed at the slightest contact and no longer had the will to fight.
As soon as Zheng Gen led his army to leave Kontum, Mae and He provinces, the Ming army marched into Champa State with nearly ten thousand troops in the name of a pincer attack, and pretended to invite Champa State to send troops to join the war.
The Champa Kingdom is very pitiful. It is sandwiched between the Ming army in the Mekong River and the Zheng army in the north. Anyone can destroy it, but the situation dictates that no one can maintain the status quo for the time being. The current balance has been broken, and the Champa Kingdom has always relied on the Ming Dynasty.
, first to counter Nanruan, and then to buffer Beizheng. Under the drastic change of the situation, they could only resign themselves to fate and reluctantly sent two thousand troops to join the battle.
The coalition forces left Phu Yen Prefecture, captured Pleiku, and then attacked north. Together with the Ming army going south, they surrounded Zheng Gen's remnants of his army who had fled into Kontum. Zheng Gen knew that he would not survive, so he committed suicide by taking medicine, and his troops were about to open the city.
He surrendered and the Annan Kingdom was destroyed.
The Ming army immediately surrounded and disarmed the Champa army. Then the Ming troops from the Mekong and Henan provinces went south and reentered Champa. They crushed the negligible resistance and surrounded the Champa palace. They forced Panluo Cha, the king of Champa, to issue the attached edict.
The Ming court's reply was extremely quick, or it could be said that it had been arranged long ago. King Cham Thanh was granted the title of Duke and temporarily moved to Saigon to live, while the Champa Kingdom was renamed Quy Nhon Province.
Annam was divided into two. The original southern Ruan land was renamed Guiyi Province and was directly included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty; the Beizheng land temporarily retained the name of Annan, and Hou Li Shenzong became the nominal King of Annan, and the power was
In the hands of the Ming court, Annan made the Sifu responsible for maintaining public security, and a puppet regime came into being.
……………
With an army of tens of thousands on land and sea, who can withstand a thunderous strike?
The outcome of the war in the south may have been unexpected, but for Zhu Yongxing, it was expected. However, the time was short, and the plan went so smoothly, which made him quite surprised.
Of course, what pleased him even more was the number of seizures. After hundreds of years, the Champa State was once the overlord of the Indochina Peninsula. Although it later weakened and became a small country after repeated wars, the wealth it accumulated is still very considerable. Likewise.
As the de facto ruler of Annan, the Zheng family of Annan collected astonishing wealth.
This is the common characteristic of feudal society. Regardless of the strength of the country, whether the people are rich or poor, feudal emperors almost always have astronomical wealth. Just like the lords of various Indian states, the British have made a lot of money from them.
.
Rough statistics have been submitted. After excluding the cost of this military operation and the planned rewards, the national treasury has received at least six million taels of silver. This does not include the treasures and other items that will be auctioned later.
In other words, this battle completely eased the financial tension of the Ming Dynasty. In more than a month, the first grain harvest in the south will be harvested, and the entire financial operation will be smooth.
Money comes quickly and there are many places to spend it! Official salaries, army salaries, water conservancy investment, etc. Despite this, Zhu Yongxing still signed and used his seal to start implementing military subsidies. The so-called subsidies are based on where the army is stationed.
The place, the tasks performed, and the subsidies in addition to the military salary are given. This is also for the sake of fairness. Others are fighting against the Tartars in the northeast and fighting against the wind in the northwest. You are fighting small countries and weak soldiers in the south. Not to mention it is easy.
There are rewards. If these are all good things, then let’s change them!
The natural environment in the northeast and northwest is definitely worse than in the south, so subsidies are given in this name. No matter which army it is, as long as it is stationed in these two places, there will be additional subsidies. In this way, there will be much fewer complaints and the mentality will be more balanced.
.
Furthermore, the captured Annan and the maids and maids of the princes and ministers of Champa were briefly trained and transferred to the northwest, which fulfilled their promise of helping the soldiers find wives. As for the northeast, it is so close to the land of Jifu, and there is Shandong across the Bohai Sea.
Girl, don't worry about it for now.
Speaking of the Northeast, Zhu Yongxing felt that the time had almost come to break the deadlock. In nearly three months, the Qing Dynasty should have been wasted, right?
The reason is very simple. Counting all kinds of personnel, hundreds of thousands of people are not working, not producing, and are wasting away with the Ming army. What kind of financial support is there, and how many people are working in agriculture or work to support it. How many people did the Ming Dynasty have?
With a population of tens of millions, there is only less than 400,000 standing troops; the full population is less than one million, and including the Han people who robbed and vassalized them, the number is only two to three million. Based on the current natural environment in the Northeast, how can we supply these hundreds of thousands?
Food and supplies for people.
In other words, it doesn’t have to be a fight to the death, as long as I am ready to fight you, as long as you confront me with big eyes and small eyes, then you have already lost. Because now is no different than before, the Qing Dynasty has no more tribulations.
It's possible to plunder wealth and population. But how long can we last while sitting there with nothing in sight?
Move the troops! Zhu Yongxing had made up his mind and wrote a note to the Ministry of War. In the current situation, it is a bit exaggerated to say that a straw broke the camel's back, but it does not take too many troops to change this stalemate situation. Navy,
With 6,000 marines and an army division from the Beijing Military Region, more than 20,000 troops are enough.
As for the breakthrough point, Zhu Yongxing prefers Jinzhou. The offshore sea can give full play to the power of the navy. At the same time, Jinzhou is also the gateway to western Liaoning, and its geographical location is very important. After Jinzhou is captured, there is a great possibility of linking eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning into one, and the Northeast Military Region will
No more isolation.
