Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 206 The Daily Life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ([-])
After Bai Mingxiu settled some affairs of the royal family, he picked up an official document again. On the cover of this official document was written the title of "Da Ming Restoration Army Garrisoned in Annan". Obviously, Bai Mingxiu didn't pay much attention to it at all. , the infantry regiment that was sent to fight in Vietnam before.

Turning to the first page, you will see a line of bold font: Our army has successfully occupied Thang Long (Hanoi).

Bai Mingxiu really didn't pay much attention to the situation of the troops he sent to Annan. After all, his main focus was on the Jiangnan strategy. Part of the troops trained in the Guangzhou training base formed a semi-reinforced mixed regiment of 1500 people, with three infantry battalions, one cavalry battalion and one artillery battalion.

An administrative team of more than 100 people went to Annan with this unit to assist in the management of the place.

"It seems that before I arrived in Ningbo, they had defeated Yiyang (coastal defense), and now they have captured Thang Long." Bai Mingxiu lamented that with little support from the court, this force Still done impressively.

When Bai Mingxiu decided to crusade against Annan, he used the banner because Annan's Lord Zheng and Gaoping Mo's both fell into trouble when the Ming Dynasty was in decline.When the crusade was sent to Annan, Lord Zheng was also very surprised. However, considering that Nanming had controlled all the territory in the north of Annan and had a considerable military strength, he still apologized honestly and said he was willing to surrender and pay tribute.

However, Bai Mingxiu turned a blind eye to Lord Zheng's low profile, and still sent a fleet to land in Haiphong.Lord Zheng's fleet also tried to resist, but was quickly wiped out by the navy of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army.In the process of attacking Haiphong, the Ming army also discovered the existence of some Dutch people, including military instructors, engineers and businessmen.Only then did the Ming army know that although the Ming regained Taiwan and captured Batavia, the Dutch did not completely give up their presence in East Asia, and are now operating under the banner of Annan.

This gave Bai Mingxiu a new reason. The Netherlands is a belligerent country officially announced by the Ming Dynasty. If they dare to harbor personnel from a belligerent country, then Annan has already committed a serious crime, which is equivalent to adding to the crime.

After Yiyang was breached, the Ming army took a rest here.After all, compared with the military operations in the south of the Yangtze River, the military operations to attack Annan were limited in scale, and even the logistical work of the Ming army was outsourced to Guanglide Company, which was engaged in shipping and trade.Guanglide Company went to a few ships at a time to transport and replenish some supplies, while the Ming army gradually and firmly controlled the territory around Yiyang before choosing to take further action.

During this period, Lord Zheng sent envoys to ask for peace many times, and the conditions were lower each time, but the Ming army never agreed, and asked the envoys to leave the documents, so that they didn't even have to listen to them. Please go out of Yiyang and let them go back.

Haiyang Chengxuan, who was affiliated with the Ming army in Yiyang County, was not as scrupulous as he was at home. The Ming army directly announced the distribution of fields to local farmers, arrested local powerful people, plundered their property, and transferred it to the local poor people.In fact, during the Annan and Northern Dynasties when the Zheng and Ruan disputes occurred, the land annexation situation in Annan was very serious, comparable to that in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.A large number of landless people live in poverty and their livelihood is in question.Although Bai Mingxiu was not prepared to send large-scale troops into Annan, he was very keen to transform Annan's external conflicts into internal class conflicts, inspiring the lower class people to resist the existing ruling class, and turning Annan people into allies of the Ming Dynasty. Reduce the difficulty of this military operation.

When the Ming Dynasty established Jiaozhi, its rule was very unsuccessful.Corrupt government and lack of contact with reality gave ambitious people the soil to act. Coupled with the fact that the Ming Dynasty was not resolute in safeguarding its own interests, this led to the rise of the Later Li Dynasty.

Now Bai Mingxiu is absolutely unwilling to make the same mistake again.

Bai Mingxiu watched the activities of the troops stationed in Annan, read it with gusto like a novel, and even asked his subordinates to bring him a pot of tea and made some small snacks, and read it while eating.

It took the Ming army two months to overcome the barriers of language and nationality. Some instructors of the military’s political and industrial system, plus officials sent from Guangdong, quickly used land, food and respect to condense a preliminary formation. Morphology of Annan's grassroots organizations.

Although the territory occupied by the Ming army was not considered peaceful, and various peasants who turned themselves into masters had some irrational vendettas and plundering behaviors, causing a large number of wealthy households to flee, but after the basic establishment of the organization, Daming, who presided over the work of Annan, The appointed representative Huang Zhichong believed that the Ming Dynasty's rule over Haiyang Chengxuan was already greater than that of Lord Zheng.

Under such circumstances, the Ming army began to form Annan Fan army and civilian picket teams, and finally entered the Thang Long Mansion. Lord Zheng assembled tens of thousands of troops, but was finally defeated by the Ming army's machine guns and cannons. Thousands of people rebelled, and Thang Long was quickly broken.

When the Ming army could only stick to important cities such as Thang Long, Huang Zhichong began to spread the ideas and slogans of "Welcome to the Ming Dynasty, divide the land, and be the master of the family" throughout Annan and the north of Annan.

Even in some places, ordinary rebels who did not have any firearms assembled to attack Annan's army, and many of them succeeded.Huang Zhichong then sent out a small number of Ming army squad platoon seat teaching teams, sent one or two Ming cadres as military advisers and trainers, and led a large group of mud-legged people to select and train their own cadres and organizations.

"This Huang Zhichong is a C-level administrative talent, but his skills are really quite good. He is even more impressive than I was in Jiangnan." Bai Mingxiu read these documents late at night, and was still very excited. It was obvious that Huang Zhichong had done this. Something that touched him quite a bit.

Naturally, he had a large army in Jiangnan and people who supported the Ming Dynasty. The overall work was easier than that in Annan where there were language and ethnic barriers.However, a large number of Ming dynasty cadres who were influenced by Marx and Engels' "New Learning" have very clearly understood the simple revolutionary idea of ​​seizing the main contradiction of things and uniting all forces that can be united, and have made remarkable achievements.

From beginning to end, Huang Zhichong did not even ask for money or troops from Bai Mingxiu. He did not even ask for additional equipment. He just asked the South China Military Region to supply him normally. Obviously, he relied on arming the farmers on his own and had formed enough strength.However, he still requested that as many cadres as possible be sent to Annan, especially experts from the Agricultural Technology Research Institute of the Guangdong Department of Agriculture, which had achieved certain results in Guangdong, to help Annan improve agricultural productivity.

Bai Mingxiu directly said "yes" to this. After all, Annan has very good agricultural conditions. If done well, there will be no problem in transforming it into another land of plenty for the Ming Dynasty.
