Lord of Ming Dynasty

No one would have thought that Li Dingguo would defeat Burma with Li Dingguo's ability. He was defeated by the Burmese and returned home. Moreover, he lost Yongli Guiwang, the legal emperor of Yongli Daming, and at the same time lost the cabinet brought by Yongli There are hundreds of important ministers.

This surprised Zhang Qiang.

I am also very angry that the small country of Myanmar is so bullying and tramples on the coercion of China, it is too shameful.

But even so, Zhang Qiang could only sigh after summoning his important ministers to make a plan.

It is not only a long way to go to Burma, the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, but also cannot take too many troops, and the supply line is too long. The main territory of the Huaxia Army is in the southeast, and it is developing towards the north. There are still many problems that need to be dealt with. If the Huaxia Army does not set foot in the southwest, it will not be able to pacify the Baimang court in Burma.

He really knew how Li Dingguo was defeated.

You can guess by guessing, where the ethnic situation is complicated, there are many mountains, many gullies, high mountains and dense forests, the Burmese are synonymous with primitive people, they will not gather together, but like the Sishan people in Ming Dynasty and the Yungui people , Going deep into the mountains, there are dozens of people here, and dozens of people there. Most of the towns are in flat places outside the mountains, but the villages must be within a hundred miles of the mountains. Hundreds of miles away from the mountains.

You can see a place where you can see it in a straight line. To get there, you not only need to detour a few miles, but also spend a lot of time climbing mountains, detours, cutting branches, opening roads, and you have to be careful where you step. It will fall into a mountain stream or a cave, so one mile needs to be viewed as ten miles, otherwise you will not be able to reach the place you want to go at all.

So eliminating the Burmese is a thankless task.

The tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia is a place for guerrilla warfare.Where there are many mountain people and many hunters, if you don't have enough troops to search the mountains inch by inch, you won't be able to catch anyone.

Where the climate and various poisonous weeds and poisonous insects are the main opponents that the troops have to deal with.

But these are not important. The important thing is that although Li Dingguo returned after being defeated, he solved a problem and a shame for the Chinese nation, that is, his emperor was captured by a group of barbarians, and let the barbarians command and influence the overall situation of the Han people. It sounds ridiculous.

Now that Yongli is dead, the soldiers and horses of Yongli Daming will lose their backbone, and they can switch to other places, making it easier for the Ming army to concentrate its forces against the Qing soldiers.

Of course, Zhang Qiang might still smile bitterly in his heart, it was easier for them to concentrate their forces against themselves.

But I don't want to mess with them now, and I don't want to take their territory, because compared to the east and north, and the south coast, the southwest is now a barren land. It is better to run the business in the Ming Dynasty than after it has been abandoned. If you run the business yourself, you will have to spend some effort.

Now the territory I occupy is the place where the Huaxia Army is rich, the most contested place, and the most populous place.

So after lamenting for a while, Zhang Qiang didn't care about them anymore.

But Zhang Qiang didn't care about them, but Li Dingguo sent people here, hoping to buy some weapons and equipment from the Huaxia Army, as well as food, food, weapons and armor.

He also gave Zhang Qiang a dozen or so skinny Burmese beauties captured from Myanmar, a dozen ivory tusks, a dozen elephants, and a few hundred who looked thin and tough, like African refugees. Same Burmese guy.

Burmese beauties, ivory, and those Burmese men, Zhang Qiang was not interested, so he sold them at a low price to merchants and caravans trained by the Huaxia Army, in exchange for certain supplies, and asked them to trade with Nanming Kingdom. To obtain all kinds of materials urgently needed by the Huaxia Army, but for elephants, Zhang Qiang knows that all ethnic groups in the southwest have elephants, and his troops will fight against them in the future, maybe they will encounter elephant soldiers.

Elephant soldiers, I have encountered such soldiers and horses when I was playing Total War, and Li Dingguo encountered elephant soldiers several times in this battle, and the army collapsed by the enemy's elephant soldiers, so he let People lead these elephants into the army camp, let Burmese men who can tame elephants manipulate elephants, and go to train with soldiers from various armies. Let soldiers see elephants, know how powerful elephants are, and practice tactics against elephants. In the future, if you want to set foot in the southwest, or enter Myanmar, lay the foundation.

At least let your soldiers not collapse when facing elephants, and have a mental preparation.

One day I will go to Southeast Asia to regain the dignity of the Han people and the Chinese people.

Later generations of heaven said every day that offenders of our Han would be slaughtered even though they were far away, but Nima did what a wimpy man did every day. He flattered women and threw them in men's faces. Civilization, protesting against foreigners, shouting and shouting, but they are all on the lips, and they don’t even dare to shout, and they also prohibit Chinese people from being bloody, and they are not allowed to make trouble for others. look.

For a small country like Myanmar, it’s really okay. For Vietnam, this kind of white-eyed wolf gives money to people and gives them face. For India’s aggressiveness, they can’t fight back when they are beaten or scolded. I really don’t know what the Chinese people say. Is it India, um, or China?

So he knows that one day he will realize his grievances in this historical world. There is still Peter the Great in Russia. In the history of China, there are only foreign women like Cixi. Genghis Khan is only from Mongolia. Han people don’t seem to have any. A historical hero who said he wants to fight out and show the dignity of the Han people. He wants to be this historical hero, not only in Southeast Asia, but also westward, westward, and beat the shit out of those Arabs.

The old beauty is smart, the old British are gentlemen and arrogant, the old Germans are bloody, upright and strong, and the old hungry people are born fighting people. It’s still fair to say that in my great dynasty, the Han nationality was actually bullied by a group of assams and uncles. People are not people, ghosts are not home. Throughout history, the power of the Han people is a history of humiliation. Why can’t the Han people produce Genghis Khan, Peter the Great, or heroes who can lead the Han people to conquer Asia or conquer Europe? The descendants of our Han people are also mighty, look, look, my ancestors once beat you up, ran so far to beat you at your door, you were conquered by our ancestors.

If you are a man, you should conquer women; if you are a Han, you should conquer the world.

One thousand is worth ten thousand, Zhang Qiang can't conquer those places now, because China is too big, and Ming's territory is not small, the current task is to conquer Manchu, Jurchen, and Hou Jin, first of all Take back the territory.

So Zhang Qiang arranged for Zhang Liang to go to the Ming army of Li Dingguo's department, and at the same time bring his condolences and friendship.

Chapter 497 The Military Situation Is Urgent

"Yu, this time I sold a total of 300 dans of grain, [-] dans of oil, [-] dans of seeds, [-] dans of cotton, [-] dans of salt, [-] dans of tea, [-] yuan of bluestone inkstones, and [-] dans of mules and horses. horses, one hundred war horses, two thousand old cotton armors, five thousand new cloth armors, fifteen hundred leather armors, five hundred broadswords, three hundred horn bows, five thousand arrows, and ten thousand dragon chariots. Five thousand, two hundred carts.

There are also firearms: 1 pieces of Jingai 150 matchlock guns, 85 barrels of gunpowder, 25 retired old Qing army guns, [-] generals’ [-]-jin guns, [-] Franc machine guns, [-] There are [-] cannons for General Jin, [-] three-pound cannons retired from our army, twenty six-pound cannons, eight ten-pound cannons, five Qing army [-]-jin red cannons, three hundred barrels of gunpowder, and three shells. Ten cars, one thousand pieces each. "

A minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce sang loudly to Zhang Qiang the list of transactions with Li Dingguo's Ministry.

"Earlier, Li Dingguo's envoy also proposed to our army to send sergeants to other troops to train soldiers, but Zhu Panpan, Minister of Industry and Commerce, and Mr. Zhu thought this was an act of supporting the enemy, and ordered that if this happened in the future, it would be rejected without any need. Again, if someone discusses privately and agrees to anyone, they will be dealt with as collusion with the enemy, and submit this idea to the deputy prime minister, Zhu Dadian, and Prime Minister Zhu's reply. Prime Minister Zhu Dadian's reply will be returned within one day, and it will be reviewed by Prime Minister Zhou Zhou. A resolution was formed to order the restoration of the governments, and the governments heard this intention, and they all obeyed, and no one dared to raise objections."

Zhang Qiang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the cabinet resolution issued by Zhu Dadian and Zhu Panpan, the father and daughter of Zhou Zhou. Pay attention to the small influence, but the two fathers and daughters manipulated the government in such a way that he felt that it was too childish.

The same is true for Zhou Congee, he sent out this resolution without passing it, where will it put him, so he is waiting for Zhou Congee's explanation, Zhou Congee has almost been coaxed by Zhu Dadian, an old fox, to be dizzy. They passed the resolution without informing him or consulting him.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce who came to report continued to read. Here are the supplies that the Huaxia Army obtained from Li Dingguo: "Five thousand pieces of fur, ten thousand pieces of bamboo, five hundred pieces of ivory, three hundred catties of tiger bones, and ten thousand pieces of fish." jin, [-] jin of saltpeter, [-] jin of Yunnan tea, [-] jin of various fruits, [-] jin of iron, [-] jin of sulfur, [-] jin of charcoal, [-] jin of raw silk, [-] precious forest trees, medicinal materials Seven thousand loads, two hundred beauties, two hundred elephants, three hundred macaques, three thousand Buddhist beads, one box of Burmese emeralds, three hundred agates..."

What are these?

Zhang Qiang listened to it for a long time, except for iron materials and gunpowder, all other materials are civilian materials, which are not very helpful to the Huaxia Army. It seems that Yunnan and Yunnan Guizhou are really poor, and they can't provide what the Huaxia Army needs. supplies.

Forget it, forget it, anyway, this is something that the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is tossing about, and business matters should be left to Zhu Panpan. I hope he won't finish tossing the Huaxia Army, and he can just fight and fight the world.

With this opinion, Zhang Qiang waved to the minister of industry and commerce, indicating to him what to do, leave the paperwork, and go back to the center by himself.

The ministries of the cabinet, Zhang Qiang, still retain the original official titles of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ministry of Industry and Commerce sounds like the name of a ministry of later generations, it is actually just a name. For registration and other items, on the territory of the Huaxia Army, you don't have to open a store. If you can't, you have to go to the yamen under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to register. If you don't register, the yamen servant will come to your door to trouble you the next day.

This will help prevent the infiltration of enemy spies, help control the number and manpower of each merchant, and prevent them from disrupting the economy of the Huaxia Army. their qualifications to do business.

Why do we still need to keep these official names of Ming Dynasty?

Because the ministers, directors, directors, section chiefs and so on that Zhang Qiang set up before, the people of Daming can't understand, so they can only change the official names of the officials in these departments, install some servants, and give things to them. In, etc., the corresponding official names of the Ming Dynasty, so that those scholars who originally studied the books of the Ming Dynasty will understand, and then the government will be well-organized and the people will be harmonious, and various ways of doing things can be used everywhere, otherwise the common people will not know what the Huaxia Army is doing, what those officials are doing Yes, it has to be explained, which is very troublesome.

After seeing off the minister of industry and commerce, Zhang Qiang and Gu Yuesheng continued to discuss matters in Hubei Province.

He has been leading the troops not to go in other directions, or turn around the center, because he still has to plan the third phase of the strategic plan, whether to capture Henan Mansion, cut off Hong Chengchou's escape to the Qing territory, or directly attack the half of Anhui Prefecture, Suzhou The half of the prefecture directly destroyed Hong Chengchou's original Qing army, which not only liberated the Huaxia Army troops on the Yangtze River defense line, but also expanded the Huaxia Army's territory to the south bank of the Huai River, and harvested the territory of two provinces at the same time.

In that way, the Huaxia Army would truly occupy the most affluent place in the Qing Dynasty, the most affluent place in the south, and at the same time cut off the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty supplying the northern capital through the Grand Canal, cutting off from the source.

Hong Chengchou also secretly communicated with the Qing army about the song, and the intelligence personnel of the Ministry of Military Intelligence who were ambushing the Qing army knew about it.

According to intelligence, the battle between Hong Chengchou and the court of Lu State is becoming increasingly fierce. Zhang Huangyan is not a person who admits defeat. It is impossible for Hong Chengchou's surrender to strengthen the strength of Lu State. However, Hong Chengchou was not willing to be under others, he must become the No. 1 court, control the entire court of Lu Kingdom, and be a courtier of extremely human officials.

So this kind of marriage has laid the fuse from the very beginning, and the misfortune began.

The two sides fought openly and secretly, and there were winners and losers. The main reason was that the original officials of the Lu State won at the court, but lost at the bottom. They turned to Hong Chengchou. Hong Chengchou soon took control of the court, and Zhang Huangyan and Lu Zhenfei were not good people. They also controlled courtiers who were loyal to Daming and loyal to them in private. The key was that they still had tens of thousands of armed troops. .

Maybe they are not as brave and good at fighting as the Qing army, but they have also experienced the flames of war, and because of Zheng Chenggong's help in the early stage, they are obviously much better than the Qing army in terms of navy, and they are not inferior to Hong Chengchou's dozen towns in terms of firearms. new army units.

So the two sides went from verbal quarreling, to using various means to bribe courtiers, to fighting openly and secretly in the court, and finally sending dead men to kill each other's officials who supported them, which made the Lu court a mess.

In the end, Hong Chengchou and Lu Zhenfei's army fought. The two sides ranged from duels and frictions between one or two people, to combined fists and kicks by thirty or forty people, and finally to the use of weapons.

It developed into that Hong Chengchou bought a naval general from Lu Zhenfei, suddenly led a town of new troops into Chongming Island, directly killed the Lu Guoming army on Chongming Island, and occupied Chongming Island. At this time, Hong Chengchou received a letter from Emperor Shunzhi. The imperial edict of his amnesty called him to return to the Qing Dynasty. After Hong Chengchou considered it for a while, finally when Zhang Qiang's Huaxia Army stopped and stopped going north, the commander killed Lu Zhenfei, captured the palace, and captured Zhu Yihai , as well as the eunuchs, concubines, and generals in the palace, hunted down Zhang Huangyan and his supporters throughout the territory.

After Zhang Qiang sent away the minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the most urgent military information he received was this military information. Hong Chengchou rebelled and defected to the Qing Dynasty.

Chapter 498 The Impact of the Demise of the Lu State and Ming Dynasty on the Situation

Lu Jianguo Zhu Yihai was captured, important minister Lu Zhenfei was killed, chief assistant Zhang Huangyan fled, Chongming Island was captured, the power of the Lu Kingdom and Ming Dynasty was scattered, and the Lu Kingdom perished.
