Lord of Ming Dynasty

"Your Majesty, please follow your Majesty's orders. Your Majesty tells you to go east. I will never go west. You are His Majesty's loyal servant." As a corrupt official, Zhu Dadian is a historical celebrity with national integrity. Persistence, anyone who is capable will judge the situation and be able to bend and stretch. His tone of speech is different from before and after, which is comparable to the eunuchs or servile slaves in the Qing palace dramas that Zhang Qiang has seen in later generations.

"You don't need to be like this. What I need is a loyal person, but I also need a capable minister who can stand on his own and distinguish right from wrong. From now on, don't mention the word slave in front of me, just call him a monarch and minister." Zhang Qiang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Dadian echoed.

"You don't need to call me Your Majesty, after all, I'm not a king, what's the matter, just call me the governor." Zhang Qiang corrected again.

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor," Zhu Dadian said again after changing his address, "Actually, the imperial court came here this time to confer the title of Lord Governor."

"Oh," Zhang Qiang smiled and shook his head.

This is the same as when Jiang Kuang always wanted to give some promotional appointments to the warlords and generals who were in the battlefield. It was either this major general or that general. A bandit den actually gave a battalion commander, a major or something. No. 30 people, sometimes they can give a major general or other rewards and promotions, and they can force Longwu to confer Zhang Qiang a title at this time, which shows that the Longwu court is in a panic now, and the situation is in a crisis. Longwu can't resist. So I want to come over to win him over, or want to get something.

Zhang Qiang sat down, resting his cheeks in his hand, thinking about what Long Wu really wanted?

"What does Long Wu want?" After thinking for a long time, Zhang Qiang asked Zhu Dadian directly.

Zhu Dadian said: "The emperor wants your lord to send troops to help regain Ganzhou and open up the connection with the Guangzhou government. At the same time, he wants you to send troops to expel the Qing soldiers from Xiangxi and restore Jiangxi's regime like last time."

"Then what can he give me?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Well, Your Majesty, oh, no, Mr. Governor, he doesn't seem to want to give you anything except a loyal and brave uncle, because the imperial court has no money. Except for some places, the imperial court is now too busy to take care of itself."

Zhu Dadian said in a very embarrassing way.

"I'm not a saint. Why should I do it for nothing if I don't have benefits? My caravan went to many checkpoints in Fujian, and they didn't say to give me less tax, so that the tax collected by the checkpoints, he should at least have a lot of money." Zhang Qiang said dissatisfied.

"This, hehe," Zhu Dadian was speechless in embarrassment.

Zhang Qiang didn’t say any more, it’s still a common problem of the Ming Dynasty. Civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty generally don’t like to hand over taxes and money to the imperial court, and the imperial court is unable to do so, and doesn’t want to restrain them. This makes them fall into an endless loop. Local governments and generals desperately asked the court for money, surrendered to the Qing army if they didn’t give money, didn’t work if they didn’t give money, and were disobedient. , so no matter who is the emperor, no matter how wise he is, he will not be able to save Daming.

Now it is Nanming, which also has the same difficulties. The reason why it is not destroyed now is because people have been used to the life of Daming for hundreds of years, and there is still inertia in their hearts. The dynasty worked hard, went to death, and fought, but the country will perish and the building will collapse. It cannot be saved by a few people. Many people are pushing behind, wanting to tear it down and start over.

Nanming is hard to recover.

"Forget it, I understand even if you don't tell me. I'm very happy that you come to join me now. In this way, I need a person who can lead the overall situation. You are the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is actually responsible for the arrangement of the army and the military supplies. As well as the supervisory department, and you have also been a governor, now I will appoint you as the governor of Fujian and Guangdong to manage all military affairs, intelligence, civil affairs, etc. of Fujian Province and Guangzhou. How about the wooing and splitting of some capable officials in the Wu court?"

This counts as reuse.

Zhu Dadian knelt down immediately, and said gratefully: "I obey the order."

"Go down, you are working in the Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion has specially cleaned up a small courtyard for you to live in with your family. There is an office for you in the Governor's Mansion Building, the Military Supplies Department. After a while, Captain Bagyaru will Arrange for you." Zhang Qiang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I retire."

Zhu Dadian slowly exited the lobby, then turned and left.

Zhang Qiang sat on the chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally subdued a historical celebrity.

The system voice sounded again, "Congratulations, you have conquered the first historical celebrity. Your reuse has increased his loyalty to you to 85. His original loyalty was only 65. It can be said that people who have risen to 85 generally do not Betrayal, you will not be persuaded by others, he will automatically increase his loyalty to you with your status, status, grades, and reputation, until the maximum is [-]%."

Chapter 245 Make the World Chaos, New Army Adjustments

After finishing Zhu Dadian and successfully weakening the strength of the Longwu court, Zhang Qiang continued leisurely to reorganize his Jinhua Rebel Army. After the reorganization was completed, he could launch a new round of attacks on the Manchu Tartars.

In another month, the reorganization of the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th Field Brigade was completed, and the reorganization of the [-]st Guards Brigade was completed.

At present, the [-]st, [-]nd, and [-]rd Field Brigades are all at the forefront. During this process, only the unfinished Guards [-]st Brigade is reorganizing and defending Jinhua Mansion. Fortunately, during this period, the Qing army was overwhelmed.

The Qing army in Jinling fought fiercely with the army led by Lu Jianguo Zhang Huangyan and Lu Zhenfei in Zhenjiang. Later, the Lu Dynasty court in Hangzhou was also reorganizing and training the army with the help of Zhang Qiang's Milin army, and at the same time it was successively recruiting from Shaoxing and Lu Zhenfei. The Ningbo government withdrew their troops, and at the same time summoned squires and powerful servants, and tenant farmers to enrich the troops.

And Zheng Chenggong's navy was attacking the enemy's navy. The enemy's navy was led by Huang Wu, Shi Lang, a rebel general of the Ming army, and fought fiercely with Zheng's navy, winning and losing each other.

I have to say that Huang Wu is old and cunning, and I have to say that Shi Lang, a big traitor, is excellent in water warfare. Zheng Jun's navy lost more than half, some small boats and small warships suffered heavy losses, and some medium-sized warships were attacked by Shi Lang. Quite a few, but the Qing army's naval divisions fought less and less, and even enriched the naval divisions of Shuijin to resist the attack of Zheng's army.

Zheng Jiajun's troops on the road landed in Hangzhou Mansion and drove to the front line of Zhenjiang. With their protection, the Qing army could not attack Hangzhou Mansion, and it also enabled Zhang Qiang's Milin Department to train Lu Jianguo's troops with peace of mind, mainly Zhang Huangyan Because only Zhang Huangyan came to Zhang Qiang, Lu Zhenfei and others, Lu Jianguo's generals were quite wary of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Rebel Army.

Because Zhang Qiang recruited [-] of their soldiers in Shaoxing Mansion, and even instigated [-] of their soldiers. These [-] soldiers are still being reorganized in Jinhua Mansion, and as the situation stabilized in Ningbo Mansion, they were trained by the Jinhua Rebel Army. The situation began to develop in the direction expected by the Jinhua Rebels with the presence of officials such as scholars from the Jinhua Army. Some landlords and tyrants, squires with bad public opinion, and even squires who had repeatedly turned to the Qing and Ming armies were ransacked and exterminated. The people's congresses are all connected with the forces of Lu Jianguo, and they are more capable and connected. They keep complaining to the court officials of Lu Jianguo and complain, which makes the conflict between the Jinhua Rebel Army and the forces of Lu Jianguo deepen.

Almost got into a fight.

Faced with such things before, Zhang Qiang always let Du Ge endure, and then let it go for a while. Later, as the situation stabilized and the Jinhua Rebel Army really grasped the overall situation, Du Ge was no longer relentless. Expelled, exiled to exile, and exiled to the place is Chixiancheng Baozhong City.

To put it bluntly, Chixian City is a castle-like small town for later generations, just a backward small town, and most of the surrounding areas are undeveloped places. Where are these guys exiled? Around Chixian City, ten kilometers away from the city Local conditions, light fever, malaria, and unacceptable water and soil can kill them. They have to build roads, log, dig mountains, open up wasteland, and farm land under the supervision of the newly converted captive soldiers and militias. They are simply Jinhua rebels. Ningguta.

Ningguta was the place where the Qing army exiled prisoners. There are thousands of miles of fertile fields, dense forests, and harsh conditions. Most of the people who went there were in dire straits, and were left alive by the harsh conditions. People in the Qing Dynasty often talked about that place and turned pale.

After some rectification, the political conditions of the founding of the Jinhua Rebel Army were nowhere close. The land was divided, the big landlords either died or fled, the gentry disappeared, the tyrants took over the mountains as kings, the army was in the village guards, and the militia troops With the help of clearing them up, the garrison was quickly established, and the number of docks and shipyards in the port increased, and merchants began to be able to pass through the entire Ningbo Prefecture without paying various exorbitant taxes.

Of course, more checkpoints were set up by the militia and the garrison, mainly to prevent spies and unscrupulous businessmen from smuggling and colluding with dissatisfied people to resist the Jinhua Rebels.

Du Ge was the admiral of Shaoxing Mansion and Taizhou Mansion, Qi Sansheng was promoted to the commander-in-chief, and Ma Weixing was a general, and he exercised military control over Ningbo Mansion.

And Taizhou Prefecture is managed by Gu Yuesheng, the magistrate, and Zhang Ying, the admiral of the navy, exercises Du Ge's admiral's rights in Taizhou Prefecture, and manages the army on the road and the navy.

Xuanyuan Longfei is still in Wenzhou Prefecture, the operator of his one-acre three-point land, and becomes the general of one party. Chen Hanhui is the prefect of Wenzhou Prefecture. Ruan Shu is transferred to Taizhou County to sit in the town and is promoted to be the general of Taizhou Prefecture. Ruan Wu is the general of Wenzhou Prefecture. soldier.

At present, Wenzhou Prefecture has also become one of the core territories of the Jinhua Rebel Army, and has entered the circle of the core territory. The business in this place is relatively prosperous, and various light industrial products, bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo shells, bamboo shoots, embroidery, raw silk, dyed and woven cloth , shoes, hats, and even the clothes of the Ming army that the militiamen have not changed for the time being come from this place.

Xiao Fei was transferred back to guard Xinghua Mansion, which is as big as a county town.

Tang Dianfeng continued to operate in Chixian City, that is, Baozhong City. He was cooperating with the Dutch military officer Hughes Zwart. The Dutchman who surrendered voluntarily recovered from his injuries. Zhang Qiang called Xiao Fei out to help him Tang Dianfeng manages Chixian City and manages the Fifth Fleet of the Navy.

His guards were Portuguese soldiers and Dutch soldiers who had surrendered earlier in Jinhua Mansion for two or three years. One was to monitor him and the other was to protect him.

And Zhou Porridge was entrusted with the important task of going to Xiamen, Kinmen and other islands to manage the people's livelihood and the army there. He had all the power by himself.

Going with him were Ma Weiren, Ma Weixing's cousin who had surrendered earlier, and Ruan Jin, a general of the Lu Jian Guoming Army who had recently surrendered. Commanding the Sixth Fleet, stationed in Xiamen and Kinmen Island, assisting Zhou Porridge to build a good relationship with Zheng Hongkui, and at the same time supporting Hu Kui and Feng Wuyu in Guangzhou Prefecture with the help of the road passages from Quanzhou Prefecture and Zhangzhou Prefecture.

The [-] Sea Squadron of the Sixth Fleet of the Navy returned to Zhou Porridge for direct dispatch.

After the formation of the new field brigade, the 1st Guards Brigade directly defended Jinhua Mansion, and the [-]st Field Brigade was transferred to Quzhou Mansion to assist in the defense of Jinhua Mansion. It mainly defended Fan Shaozu and Ma Bao's troops of the Qing army in Raozhou Mansion opposite Quzhou Mansion.

The 2nd Field Brigade was transferred to Jianning Mansion to guard the Zhang Tianlu Department of the Longwu Dynasty.

The 3rd Field Brigade was transferred to Chuzhou Prefecture to alert the Ruan Jie Department of the Qing Army in Fuzhou Prefecture.

The 4th Field Brigade was transferred to Taizhou Prefecture.

The 5th Field Brigade was transferred to Ningbo Prefecture and stationed there.

The 6th Field Brigade was transferred to Wenzhou Prefecture, preparing to reinforce Zhou Porridge and others with the Fourth Fleet in Kinmen, Xiamen and other places.

After this arrangement, part of Wei Wuji's army stayed behind to stabilize Shaoxing Mansion, and then transferred back to Jinhua Mansion for reorganization.

The Milin Department also transferred elite personnel back to accept reorganization.

The next step is the garrisons of Taizhou Prefecture and Wenzhou Prefecture, and the remaining elite garrisons of Chuzhou Prefecture will be transferred back for reorganization.
