Chapter 555 The Compromise of Nanming Kingdom

The attack on the Nanming Kingdom did not take place in a short period of time. It took several years of effort to succeed. Since the Nanming Kingdom restored the country and occupied Guangdong, the spies of the Ministry of Military Intelligence began to plan, buying and disintegrating the generals of the Nanming Kingdom He and soldiers dispatched spy merchants to observe the economic situation of the Nanming Kingdom. They collected the data and handed it over to the military intelligence department's spies to bring it back to the central site of the Huaxia Army for analysis by the intelligence analysis department of the Governor's Mansion when Bagyaru was there.

Then from the economic and military aspects, the soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi prefectures who were placed in the prisoner camps returned to their hometowns, brought the strength and clarity of the Huaxia Army, and publicized the Huaxia Army. Make friends with officials from the Nanming Kingdom. Although these officials have been changed one after another, they are always detected by the spies of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, and then make friends in various ways.

Those captives who were sent to Nanming to aid the captives of Nanming who fought against the Qing army, the Ming army, and the pirates became new spies and friendly people in Nanming after they became officers and soldiers of Nanming. , a good friend of the Huaxia Army, when the time comes, send a battalion of captives to investigate, make friends, and then develop him into a spy of the Huaxia Army.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Zhu Yujian's desire to get rid of the Huaxia Army triggered this situation, making the Huaxia Army's control over Nanming Kingdom deeper and deeper.

After that, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was established, and one of its tasks and functions was to arrange spies from the Ministry of Military Intelligence and infiltrate and influence the Nanming Kingdom through material aid and business transactions.

After Zhu Panpan took over the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, he increased commercial penetration and transported all kinds of daily necessities invented by the Huaxia Army to the Nanming Kingdom. It seems that the Nanming Kingdom has a prosperous economy and more and more taxes. In fact, the Huaxia Army is passing This method strengthens their influence economically.

With the increase of time and strength, this kind of influence eventually led to the Nanming Kingdom's economy being completely dependent on the Huaxia Army, and the currency was controlled by the Huaxia Army for more than half. Since the Nanming Kingdom and the Huaxia Army began to fight against each other, this control has become more obvious. Bravery.

Deep in the palace, Zhu Yujian, who had learned and accepted many concepts of the Huaxia Army, often leaned on the railing, lamenting and thinking, struggling to find the way to survive in the Nanming Kingdom, but there was nothing he could do. The Huaxia Army was too powerful.

Su Guansheng stood in the back without speaking for a long time, trembling, he had a premonition of something.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Yujian sighed and turned around and said, "Su Aiqing, it seems that I have to sacrifice you, otherwise the Nanming Kingdom will be lost. Are you willing to share my worries?"

Su Guansheng burst into tears, bowed to the end, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister is willing to sacrifice himself for the safety of the country, but please treat the old minister's family and clan kindly."

"I see, you go down." Zhu Yujian waved his hand.

Su Guansheng staggered away from the palace. He had served the emperor all his life. When he was not the chief assistant, he hoped to be the chief assistant, but he was unable to realize his great cause of assisting the king to create a century and restore the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yujian Abandoned, he didn't know if he would regret being the chief assistant in his life.

In fact, Zhu Yujian had no choice but to kill him, because he was the one who opposed getting along with the Huaxia Army in the court. In order to protect the interests of the Zhu family dynasty, Su Guansheng was unequivocally opposed to compromise with the Huaxia Army and advocated the elimination of the Huaxia Army. Hatred buried his reason and talent, and brought Nanming Kingdom to where it is now.

The method Su Guansheng used was wrong, the means and purpose were wrong, and he acted according to his own ideals regardless of the situation and timing. This is also the problem of scholars holding power.

Although Zhu Yujian also hates the Huaxia Army, he pays special attention to the methods, means and timing of doing things in his humble but shrewd and worldly mind. It's just that he has too little understanding of the outside world to grasp the overall situation. The emperor is not good at this point. Everything is judged by the ideas instilled in him by his ministers and the situation in the world. He relies on his ministers and does not have much talent and ability. False theories on the sand.

Now that he sees that one side is weak and the means and goals of governance cannot be achieved, he replaces the other side with a more reasonable-sounding minister to preside over the government and govern the world for him.

Now that the side that fell to the Huaxia Army has won, the momentum is huge, so he has to rely on them.

Again, this is also a common problem of Han emperors. When the enemy is bluffing, pretending to be powerful, and intimidating and threatening, they are always unable to solve the problem. , self-defeating arm.

The Song Dynasty was like this, Yue Fei and others were killed, the Tang Dynasty was like this, and the Ming Dynasty was also like this. They are actually similar to Cixi in the Qing Dynasty. His enjoyment of life should not be interrupted, even if he loses some land and kills some loyal ministers and generals, as long as the enemy promises to let him continue to live on, he will not hesitate.

In the words of our party, this is determined by the characteristics of the ruling class itself and its weakness. Such a ruling class can no longer keep up with the situation and development, but our party is in line with history. In line with science, in line with the people's eager desire to replace the inevitable ruling class of the ruling class.

When Zhang Qiang read this kind of information in the Jinhua Central Governor's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. It is the weakness of the Han people to calm things down and not to fight. This is the weakness of the Han people.

He continued to look down at the information, with Kong Sizhen pinching his shoulders behind him, and Li Zicheng's wife, Gao Shi, fanning him beside him. After joining the Huaxia Army, he no longer lived a life of ups and downs, wandering, and fighting. His originally black and red face turned white, and his previously frowning brows also relaxed. Under the makeup of the Huaxia Army's new cosmetics, he looked like a 28 The female stars are generally sexy and beautiful. Zhang Qiang was really excited and couldn't control it. He looked at the document several times and involuntarily glanced at her. If you show a charming style, your heart will be surging and you can't help yourself.

Zhu Panpan is a busy person, tends to be career-oriented, and is more passionate about money than his orthodox husband, so he often works outside and does not go back to the Governor's Mansion. The only person accompanying Zhang Qiang under the bed is Kong Sizhen and Kong Sizhen. , How can we solve Zhang Qiang who is hungry and thirsty now, like a wolf like a tiger.

That's why Zhang Qiang sometimes feels that he has endless energy all over his body, but he has no place to vent.

Zhang Qiang and Gao Shi, who happened to turn his head to look at him, met eyes, turned his head quickly, and looked down at the document.

Su Guansheng hanged himself in his own mansion, Su Zhengqing was relieved of his military power, and was given a civilian position of inspecting hundreds of officials, so he stayed at home.

The Nanming Kingdom sent Li Guangxiong to the Huaxia Army to plead guilty and negotiate a peace.

Chapter 556 Zheng Chenggong's Visit

The Nanming Kingdom was like that, already on the verge of collapse, Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the Nanming Kingdom making trouble behind his back, he could deal with the Qing Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom with all his strength. The Qing Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom Zhang Qiang weighed the pros and cons, which one should be used first?

If you have to choose, of course it is the Qing Dynasty. If it is destroyed, then the Manchu Dynasty will perish. Although the Dajin Kingdom is actually an extension of the Qing Dynasty and is an orthodox and legal Manchurian Jurchen, in terms of power and strength, it is still Daqing. The Qing Dynasty is relatively large and powerful, and they have a complete Eight Banners system there.

Don’t underestimate the Eight Banners system. At that time, it was a very advanced system. Let’s put it this way, it is different from the centralized dynasties. The centralized dynasties are a centralized organization. The power of the organization needs to be responsible to this organization and be mobilized by this organization. If the decision made by the organization is correct, then all forces will be loyal to him, and the results achieved are the results, contributions and achievements of this centralized organization. The more powerful and respectable the centralized organization is, the more energy and strength it can mobilize.

But what if something goes wrong with this centralized organization?

For example, it is now divided into two parts, a Great Qing Dynasty and a Great Jin Kingdom. In order to compete for this legitimacy and inheritance, they need to devour each other in order to obtain the right to continue to have this kind of power and influence.

Its split has weakened the centralized organization. If it is divided into two, the strength and energy they can mobilize will decrease. If they face another enemy separately, they may make decisions based on the weakened centralized organization. response, but if they are not facing a centralized organization at the same time, another organization may use external force to attack the power of the first centralized organization to deal with the first centralized organization, which becomes the first The gravediggers of centralized organizations, no matter which centralized organization wins, it is impossible for another centralized organization to have the energy and influence of the original centralized organization.

This is good for external forces, but bad for centralized organizations.

Now the Huaxia Army and Nanming, and others are against the Qing Dynasty and against the Manchus. The power of the Jurchens is an external force, and as time goes by, the Huaxia Army is quite powerful.

When it almost annexed Zheng Chenggong's forces, regained Treasure Island, and weakened the Nanming Kingdom, when the Nanming Kingdom had little influence on the Huaxia Army or was unable to shake the Huaxia Army, the Huaxia Army was relying on its own strength. Under the strong pressure of Mount Tai.

It can be said that the demise of the Huaxia Army against the Qing Dynasty requires a little effort and some losses, but the ending must be beautiful and victorious.

However, Zhang Qiang thought about it for a long time, and still felt that the Dajin Kingdom should be targeted first. In the end, the weakest of any power in the land of China is precisely the powerful centralized power, because when they face the enemy, they use what they can use. Power and energy are limited, any power and energy need to ask for instructions and report to the centralized organization, the credit goes to the centralized organization, and the hard work and casualties belong to those forces, so it is easy to cause other forces to work without effort, You don't give me wages and rewards, and you still want me to work hard. The credit is yours in the end. How can I be so stupid, I just muddle along.

Relatively speaking, it is easier to fight Dajin Kingdom. The centralized organization of Dajin Kingdom is actually a mess, the control power is not that great, and the rewards and wages they offer are not so generous, and the orthodoxy and legitimacy are not as good as Daqing is so high, and Dajin is a partnership enterprise. Everyone wants to get benefits from the enterprise, but they don’t want to contribute. Daqing is an orthodox and regular company, but the system is rigid and the employees are not motivated. But after all, the stall is big. If you want to swallow it in one gulp, it will take some effort.

Just like state-owned workers, no matter how I have this company, I have a job. If you smash my job, then I will fight you hard. Maybe not everyone is like this, but there are always some loyal ministers and good generals, or want to turn the situation around Therefore, it is better to fight Daqing than to fight Dajin. Dajin will be disbanded as soon as it is hit. Workers have choices. I can go to work in other companies.

In fact, there is another reason, that is, the Qing Dynasty ruled the Central Plains. Many Qing people have actually lived a stable life in the Central Plains, and their combat power is not so strong. If the surrounding forces are wiped out, then the Qing Dynasty is actually easy to fight. Shanxi and Shaanxi, which are occupied by the Dajin Kingdom, are a group of quick-witted mountain peasants. Shanxi merchants are too strong in nature and not strong in combat power, but they are easy to handle when they fall with the wind. Shaanxi is located in a barren land, and the folk customs Strong, not easy to conquer, Shaanxi-Gansu is too complicated, has been invaded by foreign religions and barbarians for too long, has no strong attachment to the Central Plains, and has many problems. It will take a period of governance to allow them to integrate into China. After defeating the Qing Dynasty, it will not be easy to fight anywhere. Many things, time, and energy will be tied up there.

Zhang Qiang's ambition is not just a Ming territory, he also wants to restore the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Sinicize the Western Regions and places outside the Western Regions, improve people's lives there, emigrate to the past, garrison, and prevent invasion from the Arab world.

The most important thing is to break into the Indian plains, approach the Indian Ocean, expand the territory of the Huaxia Army, and establish a powerful and vast empire. At that time, even if the descendants lose their fortunes, they will only be in the same situation as my celestial dynasty, but Where will the influence of the Han Chinese and the Han Chinese regime be left, which will cause trouble for India and Southeast Asia in the future.

The main thing is to use where the materials and resources are to fill the shortage of the Chinese Empire, and to use the terrain and ethnic groups to build a barrier for the Chinese Empire, so that the Queen of the British will have one less jewel in the crown, or less corners, so that the future British Empire Headache go.

In the end, only Yunnan, Guizhou and Four Mountains are left. Where it is easy to handle, it will definitely return to the embrace of China. Where the population is lacking and the terrain is not good, but the land is vast. If there are immigrants, as long as there are Han people, they will not be lost. Will definitely be back.

At this time, Zhang Qiang heard someone calling him, turned his head away, and his personal guards reported, "Governor, Zheng Chenggong has been waiting outside the mansion for a visit for a day, do you want him to come in?"

"Well, let him come." Zheng Chenggong came to plead guilty. Zhang Qiang knew it, but he didn't know that Zheng Chenggong had decided to give up competing for the treasure island with the Huaxia Army and returned to the mainland. Zheng Chenggong knew that even if he fled to Nanyang, with the current Huaxia Army The navy's ability can also hunt down Nanyang, so he must come to pay a visit to Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang didn't admire him as much as before, instead he had some resentment, like a mangy dog, repeatedly looking for trouble, delaying the Huaxia Army's unification of the Ming Dynasty, if it wasn't for him, Zhang Qiang would have launched an offensive against the Dajin Kingdom long ago.

Chapter 557 Going to Australia or Nanyang

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhang Qiang asked Zheng Chenggong, who was kneeling, to sit down, and his personal guards brought him tea. Zhang Qiang said to Zheng Chenggong: "Master Guoxing, we have cooperated well. That’s all for the sake of profit, I also understand that you do your business, but secretly want to harm my Huaxia Army. Although you have also ceded the land and paid compensation, this cannot redeem your crimes. I thought about it later Thinking, how can you allow others to sleep soundly by the side of the couch, so I think you should hand over Treasure Island, and then you have two choices."

Zheng Chenggong was willing to admit his guilt, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, the governor, for giving this old man a choice. I understand that one is to join your Huaxia Army, and the other is to go away. I think you are kind to me, Zheng Chenggong, and you didn't kill them all. As I said, I chose to go far away, I don’t know if Nanyang can do it, if not, I can only ask the governor to show me a clear way.”

"Haha, Jiang is still old and hot, and the country's surname is worthy of being the country's surname. To be honest, I think Nanyang is too close. You should go further. For example, Australia, which I mentioned to you earlier, do you think how?"

Zhang Qiang said with a smile as he stroked the already unshaven hard beard on his lips.

Zheng Chenggong said in embarrassment: "To tell the truth, the governor, the governor had mentioned it to his subordinates before, but the subordinates sent a fleet for more than a year and failed to find the so-called Australia you mentioned. I still think Nanyang is more suitable for us, the governor. I also know that the homeland is hard to leave, Nanyang is already thousands of miles away, but those of us who have traveled the sea still know the way and can come back, there is no news of this Australia, the sea is vast, and the humble minister may spend his entire life trying to find it.”
