"Ship owner, most of my soldiers are from the south. I have suffered a lot in the north this winter. Let's go to the south to fight. Xuanming has too many places to take care of, so I have to help him," Zhao Tielai When I arrived at the old camp in the northern suburbs of Taiwan, I hurriedly found Yin Feng.
Yin Feng handed him a stack of documents and patiently persuaded him: "Brother Zhao, the First Division is a model unit of our army. The new reorganization starts with the First Division. Look at this reorganization plan,... Don't worry, fight. Some fight, when the north wind blows on the sea, we will use all the forces of the First Division and the Third Division, the main force of the two major fleets of Nanyang and Taiwan to sweep across Nanyang, and strive to take down all the key points in Nanyang by the end of the year. From now on, the Western powers are only allowed to live on the island we designated and let them be our trading agents obediently. Nanyang must become the Neihu of our Chinese company. Next year and the next, after we stabilize Nanyang, the main company will be The expansion target will turn to the north…”
"The north, you have to go to the north, wait, you are talking about Liaodong,"
"That's right, the court and the Jurchens are going to open a full battle there, so we will take the opportunity to seize the territory," Yin Feng spread out the latest Liaodong map drawn by the Jesuit missionaries and said with a smile: "After the court talks with us, we will soon be able to do so. Mobilize a large army to conquer the Jianzhou Jurchens, and I guess the imperial army will be defeated and returned. At that time, Liaodong will be empty, and we can take advantage of the situation... At that time, we will occupy a strategy nearest to the capital. Key points: threaten the Ming court at any time.”
In Yin Feng's view, the small countries of the South China Sea during this period were not worth mentioning. In the 17th century when nationalism was not yet flooded, there was no problem with millions of Chinese immigrants to flood the entire South China Sea region, as long as there was enough time and funds. , A hundred years later, more than half of the indigenous people would forget their ancestors. In Yin Feng's previous life, Western powers ruled the entire Southeast Asia for hundreds of years with only tens of thousands of colonists. Nanyang was originally in political and geographical location, as well as history. Traditionally, it is a natural border area of China. In the Age of Discovery, China missed the opportunity to integrate this region. Yin Feng did not want to miss this opportunity that was rare in a thousand years. Such an opportunity will be missed forever in history. .
...
The Chinese Army's Northern Line evacuated Tianjin Wei in April and took away more than 100,000 people from Jingqu. Chen Zhongji transferred to Jiangnan as the general manager of Jiangnan marching, and Yin Feng also left Zeng Shan in Jiangnan to manage government affairs.
When the Chinese army retreated from Nanjing, they almost emptied all the Yingtian Prefecture Treasury, the canal transport warehouse, and the government warehouses of the surrounding prefectures, prefectures and counties. Those that could not be moved were distributed to the people on the spot. The Chinese army was in the middle and lower places to the local area. The great kindness of the class is to the royal relatives and the landlords, officials and gentry who dare to resist. Since the war started, the Chinese army has broken up with the imperial court, so they have no intention of replacing the ruling class that rarely changes its political stance. It is impossible to maintain harmonious relationships. Therefore, when Yin Feng retreated, he ordered everyone to try their best to move all the official warehouses and treasuries in various places, and they would be distributed on the spot immediately if they could not be moved away. Anyway, those corrupt officials could not get them again.
On the way back to Taiwan, the fleet transporting various materials was much larger than the troop transport ship. Here, Yin Feng's nature of never suffering losses was exposed.
The main force of Zhao Tie First Division landed at the Taiwan Port Wharf and was welcomed by 100,000 people. Yin Feng, who arrived in advance, organized a grand triumphal ceremony. A archway with flowers was built, and the front plaque read "Hundred Battles of Tiger Ben" "A few big words, the troops on the north and south lines participating in the war sent representatives to participate in the triumphal ceremony, and lined up under the archway of the "Hundred Battles Tiger Ben" and countless firecrackers were "crackling" on both sides of the road, and the people cheered , Taiwan Port East, West, South, North and Anping Port Forts fired at the same time.
Shareholders, mainly members of the board of directors of China Company and officials of the Taiwan garrison gathered together to welcome the Chinese soldiers at the dock. The statue of Mazu Temple invited from Meizhou was carried out, and the captain of the Feilong represented the navy. The statue of Mazu presented symbolic trophy and found some goldware from the Nanjing treasury to thank Mazu for blessing the safety of the Chinese military fleet at sea. During the war this year, the coastal climate was unexpectedly harmonious. The Chinese military The luck was also good. Several typhoons went south to Guangdong and did not affect Jiangsu and Zhejiang. So after a year of war, the Chinese fleet and transport fleet sailed thousands of ships, but they lost two ships due to shipwrecks.
Zhao Tie led the First Brigade of the First Division to pass the "Tiger Cardi". They fought twice in the Hexi River in the North Canal, and won consecutive battles. The First Division has been called the "First Division in the World".
Yin Feng stood on the temporary reviewing stand and watched his army line by in line with a smile.
On the first battle horse, Zhao Tieqi held a commanding knife and sucked his chest with his head raised, and when he passed the reviewing stand, he raised his knife and shouted: "Long live the ship owner,"
Countless soldiers raised their guns through the reviewing stand, countless bayonets shone brightly reflecting the sunlight, and countless mouths shouted "Long live,"
Yin Feng was very satisfied with this kind of rebellious cry.
The Chinese Company and the Chinese Army, which he raised on a wild island, have now developed to a height he had never expected. It is shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and changing the trajectory of history, because he is free from tradition Outside the officialdom and even outside of traditional culture, this group of people under his command is also a marginal group that lacks the influence of traditional Confucian culture, so he can develop a Chinese company.
This freak-like Chinese company originally gathered just to avenge the Spaniards, with only more than 2,000 people; but now the Chinese company directly controls the area, excluding the Jiangnan area, and has directly managed more than 3.5 million people. Every month, there are tens of thousands to tens of thousands of people along the coast of Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong. Under the organization of China Company, they go out to migrate. The so-called Chinese farmers who have relocated to the land are indeed, but they are brave enough to explore new land. There are actually quite a few Chinese farmers.
Now, the Chinese company has defeated the huge Ming government with a businessman armed group, and its morale has risen to an unparalleled level.
Yin Feng sighed and took a step forward in excitement, raised his hands to salute the soldiers, and then raised his arms and shouted: "Long live the Chinese army,"
"Long live,"
"Long live,"
The triumphal ceremony lasted from noon to evening, and finally the two newly launched main ships Dingyuan. Zhenyuan fired volleys with hundreds of cannons and fireworks and rockets were fired on each turret.
Two hundred thousand people in Hong Kong, Taiwan have witnessed this scene and believe that the story of this large-scale triumphal ceremony will continue to spread among the people in a hundred years.
This is not the first time Yin Feng held a triumphal ceremony, but this triumphal has a huge impact. The Chinese army won every battle. The Chinese soldiers discovered the weakness of the Ming Dynasty and completely ignored the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty. The rule of the Chinese company In the district, new immigrants' recognition of Chinese companies has also gone further.
The war has come to an end for the time being, and there are actually many details on the secret agreement with the court that have not been decided: Yin Feng's identity, the status of the Chinese company, etc., and the negotiations between the two sides are actually held in Zhenjiang.
It was already June when Yin Feng started to reorganize his troops.
Now the imperial court has ignored the Chinese army, or deliberately ignored it. Before the negotiations were completed, Xu Guangqi was removed from his title of Grand Secretary under the attack of the censor and presided over the negotiations as Nanjing Strategy. Zhang Heming, the Minister of War of Nanjing, became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and planned to organize the training of a new army. Xiong Tingbi was finally officially activated and temporarily acted as a garrison in Nanjing.
Emperor Wanli has never been to court since March and has never seen court officials again as before. These days, he has actually been suffering from illness. Since the beginning of the summer of Wanli forty-sixth year, Emperor Wanli has always been in the body. Not good, on the sixth day of the sixth month, he told the cabinet chief Fang Congzhe: "Since I was in abdicated, I was fumigated with dampness, and I had diarrhea from time to time, my head was dizzy, and my body became weak. I saw that I had not recovered from taking the medicine now, so I was inconvenient to the point of not being able to control myself."
He could not control the court and had to worry about the Liao incident. However, the whole country was exhausted and the national treasury was empty. Under the repeated attacks of the Chinese army, he had to raise troops, food, and weapons to conquer the Jianzhou Jurchens. In addition to increasing taxes, There is no way. After Wu Daonanding, the second assistant to the cabinet in the 45th year of Wanli, was the only assistant to the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, who was not a capable minister who was brave enough to do things. When this was a matter of trouble, He was persuaded by the Censor of the City to kill his son Fang Shihong, so he took this opportunity to beg the emperor to dismiss his post. Soon, a comet appeared in the sky and another earthquake in the capital. Fang Congzhe went to Shenzong to stay for his purpose, and then he felt relieved and entered The cabinet took the matter as usual. In order to relieve the pressure, Fang Congzhe hoped that the emperor would go to Wenhua Palace to convene an official meeting of Jiuqing Kedao and other officials to jointly seek a plan to protect Liao and the capital. In fact, he simply wanted someone to share his responsibilities.
Shenzong sent clerks to the cabinet to pass an edict, but was unable to attend the Wenhua Palace meeting due to illness. He hoped that the ministers would understand. Later, Fang Congzhe asked Congzhe to quickly supplement the cabinet members, and for this reason he sent more than a dozen memorials, even waiting for six decrees at Wenhua School. God, I still can't get the point. After two days, Shenzong explained to Fang Congzhe that he was really sick and unable to review the memorials, so he had to delay. "I have recovered a little bit, so I will read the brief description in detail in the evening." Fang Congzhe was really I couldn't hold back my anger, and changed my previous vain and impolite attitude, and bluntly criticized the emperor without any sincerity: "It was because the emperor had no intention of adding to the ministers day after day, but he used this to win over the ears "The contradiction has become so sharp that Shenzong is not convenient to delay any further. He agreed that the Ministry of Personnel will recommend six or seven candidates for him to use. After a few days, Shenzong ordered Shi Jikai and others, and felt unsatisfied. He took back his opinions.
Whether it was a real or a fake, Emperor Wanli had seriously affected the war against Liaodong. The main force of the Liaodong army was first defeated by the Chinese army, and then by the Eight Banners soldiers. As a result, the Eight Banners soldiers were captured faster than before in time and space. Chenyang, Liaoyang and other places,
