In addition, it is not wrong to call the prince His Highness. It is recorded in history books that when Bai Wenxuan was kidnapped and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he shed tears and said: "I have betrayed the Emperor and His Highness Jin..." Therefore, you can call Bai Wenxuan His Highness Zhao.
"His Highness is going east to Annan?" Bai Wenxuan responded in astonishment. After listening to Zhu Yongxing's processing of the incident and his future plans, he was deeply surprised and also expressed great doubts about his whereabouts.
"Going east to Annan is, firstly, to fulfill my promise to the Mengshan tribe; secondly, Guangxi has been initially settled, and the rule of the Qing army is not stable. There are still some remnants of the Ming army to help, so the situation may change; thirdly, Guangxi has fallen
, the Ming army in Yunnan Province has lost contact with the outside world. If they can open up the sea port, they can communicate with the Zhoushan headquarters of Yanping County Prince and Zhang Shangshu; the civil war in Annan continues, and the Zheng and Ruan clans are exhausted from long battles, and it is difficult to stop my Ming Dynasty.
If the army is sharp, it will definitely endure hardships and seek peace, and then I can find a place to settle down. This is the fourth one; what about the fifth one——"
Zhu Yongxing paused for a moment and said slowly: "This is also your Majesty's intention. If the imperial court stays behind and its reputation is known abroad, it is better to set up a separate battlefield and stay away from the border between Yunnan and Myanmar."
Bai Wenxuan blinked and understood the meaning of Zhu Yongxing's words. Although the first four points are reasonable, they can be ignored. Only the fifth point should be the focus. It was the emperor and the court who sent Zhu Yongxing to stay in the country in the name of staying behind.
Dian's true intention. The target, the target to attract the Qing army, is naturally to be as far away as possible, and the more tormented, the better.
Zhu Yongxing stopped and continued: "Most of the Qing army's troops can only go within the Three Rivers. If they go eastward, there will be little obstacle. However, Yunnan Province cannot abandon it. It should leave troops on the Yunnan border to contact the chieftains to contain the Qing army and escort them in.
The emperor and the imperial court of Burma. This is an important task that neither the King of Zhao nor the King of Jin can shoulder."
The Ming Dynasty adopted the policy of "beyond the three rivers, it is suitable for soil but not for flow, and within the three rivers, it is suitable for flow but not for soil". Yunnan (Kunming), Qujing, Chengjiang, Lin'an, Dali, and Yongchang all had six prefectures, all with official posts; Chuxiong,
Yao'an and Guangfu's three prefectures were appointed magistrates, supplemented by native officials as tongzhi and general magistrates; Xundian, Wuding, Guangxi, Yuanjiang, Jingdong, Menghua, Shunning, Heqing, Lijiang, Yongning,
Thirteen prefectures including Wumeng, Dongchuan, and Mangbu are dominated by local officials, supplemented by floating officials.
When the Qing army entered Yunnan, it was due to a lack of troops. Of course, it should also take into account the complex situation in Yunnan, where there are many chieftains. So far, they have only occupied nine prefectures dominated by officials, and the other 13 chieftains outside Sanjiang.
Most of the government officials were left untouched, thinking that it was to coerce people and make the chieftains voluntarily surrender. And judging from the map, the Qing army's power was mainly in the northern part of Yunnan Province, and most of the areas outside Sanjiang were still under the control of the chieftains.
Down.
Among them, some chieftains in Yudong, Yunnan, have the clearest intention to oppose the Qing Dynasty and support the Ming Dynasty. Led by Yuanjiang Nasong, Ningzhou chieftain Lu Changxian, Xingxing Wang Yaozu, Qiangao Luyi, Wang Yangzu, Wangnong chieftain Wang Shuo, Mengzi Li Risen, Li Shifan, Li Shiping, Shiping Longtao, Long Feiyang, Lunan Qinzugen, Lu Liangzigong, Maitreya Angfuzu, Vimalakia, Shen Yinglin, Shen Zhaolin, Wang Chengzu, etc. are all recorded in history books. They were for the sake of the nation against the Qing court. Heroes of ethnic minorities who did not hesitate to shed blood and sacrifice due to the oppressive policy, and jointly composed a tragic epic of revolt against the Qing Dynasty.
This is also an important reason why Zhu Yongxing insisted on going east. With Gaoping in Annan as his base, the chieftains of the Northern Alliance could contain the Qing army in Yunnan Province, go west to Guangxi to fight against Sun Yanling, the weakest of the three feudal lords, and go south to the Beibu Gulf to seize the seaport, which could lead to the possibility of fighting with another Two important figures mentioned in the maritime cultural history of the South China Coast, the Gulf of Tonkin and the history books of Vietnam met. With a navy, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and you can flex your muscles. This is Zhu Yongxing The overall strategy he formulated is also the road to revival he planned.
Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Since Zhu Yongxing said this, there is no need to worry about him ordering him to lead the army to accompany him in the name of staying behind. And protecting the emperor and the court on the border of Yunnan and Myanmar is of course his true psychology. This is different from that of King Jin. Li Dingguo is pretty much the same.
"Since Your Highness wants to go east, why are you making such a big fuss here to attract the Qing army to attack?" Li Weizuo, as a civil servant of not very high rank, sat with a clan member who stayed behind and a prince with a different surname. He was very restrained at first. Just listening attentively, my mentality adjusted slightly at this time, and I couldn't help but ask.
"Invigorate people's hearts and encourage people to be depressed." Zhu Yongxing answered briefly, pondered for a moment, and continued to explain: "There are still many civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty scattered in northwest and southwest Yunnan. At this time of crisis, if we don't contact them for a long time, they will Without a clear place to seek refuge, people's hearts will scatter and they will inevitably collapse. Even though I am a firefly, I should try my best to shine, just to be a solitary lamp in the dark night."
"His Royal Highness is loyal and courageous, and is willing to take big risks. It is really admirable." Bai Wenxuan increasingly felt that Zhu Yongxing could indeed take on a big responsibility. He was deeply excited that the Huangming clan could produce such a figure, but there was still something in his heart. The question is, "It's just that if troops are stationed in the desolate land on the border of Yunnan, it will be difficult to sustain food and grass for a long time. If they pursue food and pay, they will have to conflict with the chieftains. What can be done?"
This is indeed a problem. Jin King Li Dingguo encountered resistance from the local chieftains in Mengengen. Later, he adopted an appeasement policy to appease the chieftains and ordered the soldiers to farm for supplies, and then he barely settled down. Doing it yourself and having enough food and clothing is of course a way. But Zhu Yongxing still has a solution.
"The Kingdom of Siam has the most attachment to our Ming Dynasty. You can contact it and temporarily borrow grain, grass, elephants and horses to recharge your batteries and strengthen your strength." Zhu Yongxing said and turned his attention to Li Weizuo, "Li Qing, I am going on an envoy. I want to leave it to you, but I don’t know——”
"I wish to go." Li Weizuo stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Highness, please give me the opportunity."
Are you talking about me in person? Do you think I am Zhuge Liang? Zhu Yongxing was stunned for a moment, smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Li Weizuo to sit down, and said: "Since you are on an envoy, you just need to be neither humble nor overbearing. You first go to Menggen to see His Highness the King of Jin and ask him to send an army. , or the whole army can be stationed at the scenery line, and then enter Siam from there, and talk warmly, and we will definitely succeed."
"Thank you for your advice, Your Highness." Li Weizuo agreed without any hesitation.
Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and said: "If you see His Highness Jin, I would like to express my regards to His Highness. In addition, His Highness Jin must get along well with the local chieftains, so that the soldiers can cultivate and temporarily relieve the food shortage. Also, regarding liaison matters, I
There is a way to prevent the messenger from being captured and leaking secrets. The specific method is this..."
When Zhu Yongxing took out the book and finished explaining the simplest encryption technology to Bai Wenxuan and Li Weizuo, the eyes of the two people looking at Zhu Yongxing became more complicated. In the eyes of the ancients at that time, this kind of simple encryption writing was definitely the most simple encryption technology.
Shocking things.
"Li Qing is good at what he does." Zhu Yongxing had high hopes for Li Weizuo, hoping that he could help him continue to contact various anti-Qing armed forces in the future, so he tried to win over him, "You have the ability to wear tigers and leopards, and I will go to the extreme in the future.
I still have a heavy responsibility entrusted to me!"
