Lord of Ming Dynasty

Although these people were divided into different regions and different small countries, all they thought about all day long was how about my Qing Dynasty. I want to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty. I am a slave of the Qing Dynasty. The common people, especially some former Ming Han people in the south who have long regarded Huaxia as their own country, are displeased in every possible way, and conflicts also occur from time to time.

For such white-eyed wolves who are willing to be slaves, Liu Liangzuo, who has turned from a military leader to the director of the punishment battalion in the Southeast Asia theater, is relentless. He directly throws hundreds of thousands of such people into the hard labor camp. In the small-scale battles of foreign races, they were thrown as cannon fodder and given them some knives, guns, bows and arrows, and then drove them to the battlefield, letting them face the muskets and artillery of the indigenous rebels in Southeast Asia.

What I want to say is that with the rise of Huaxia's firearms tactics and the deepening of Huaxia's war of conquest of Southeast Asia, many Southeast Asian natives and some Southeast Asian Han people or descendants of Han people have mastered the team that resisted Huaxia. For the use of firearms, most of these teams are holding some inferior old sleeves, shotguns, firecrackers, bows and arrows of the Ming Dynasty, and heavy-horned bows of the Qing Army, which are very lethal weapons.

Maybe facing the Chinese army in the Southeast Asian theater that conquered them, and the regular army of the Southeast Asian garrison. The self-defense troops, the Jinkai 1 matchlock guns, broadswords, spears, bows and arrows held by these militia troops, they still have some advantages, especially during assaults and sneak attacks, causing great harm to the militia troops in the occupied areas of Huaxia Kingdom less harm.

In the face of such combat power, these disgusting old-fashioned Han people had no combat power at all, and suffered heavy casualties. Some of them fled and joined the enemy's team, and began to do a lot of attacks and injuries against the occupying army of Huaxia.

This caused turmoil in many places. Except for the northern part of Annan, the northern part of Laos near Yunnan, and Myanmar near Yunnan, Guangxi, Sishan and other places, the people lived in a relatively stable life without being disturbed. Most of them are Han people who have been loyal to Huaxia Kingdom for more than ten years, and there are rebellions of different sizes in other regions.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Liangzuo's method is to suppress bloody, killing until the people are clean.

Therefore, in the first half year of 1666, during the six months since Liu Liangzuo took office, 100 million natives of foreign races died. Inside the labor camp.

Because what millions of hard laborers have to do is to open up roads, build settlements, towns, upgrade county towns, and build cities.

Of the 500 million Han people, only 120 million returned to their hearts in the end, and were transferred to the fringe areas of stable areas to strengthen the rule of the Han people. The other more than 300 million people either died or fled, or entered the hard labor camps, even the prisoner camps. Did not let them in, this is Liu Liangzuo.

In the plan submitted by Liu Liangzuo to the headquarters, it is planned to eventually expand the forced labor camp to 1000 million people, mobilize 1000 militiamen who have entered the area to guard the 30 million people, and at the same time mobilize another [-] out of the nearly one million militiamen that have been formed in this area. Thousands of people guarded these people.

Then let these people enter those deep mountains and old forests, open up roads, connect the small countries in Southeast Asia with the domestic road system, and upgrade those small roads that were originally opened up by militias and garrison battalions to large roads, and the main roads are wide cinders that can travel quickly. Road, plus an auxiliary road dedicated to the post road.

Seeing the plan submitted by Lin Cheng, Zhang Qiang was very helpless. From the bottom of his heart, although he hated these Southeast Asian natives like white sheep and wolves in later generations, and those Han Chinese who were like slaves of the Qing Dynasty, traitors, But letting them forgive their sins in this way, he felt that he was no longer the king of Huaxia Kingdom, but Qin Shihuang of the Great Qin Empire.

Qin Shihuang is undoubtedly great in the history of China, but the evaluation of this emperor by the writers of history is black and cannot be blacker. Zhang Qiang doesn't want to be that kind of person, but he doesn't want to be like Tang Taizong Li Shimin. The emperor, as long as Huaxia can be strengthened, he is not afraid of the infamy of future generations, and if Huaxia is strengthened, all enemies that hinder China's progress will be wiped out. The small countries in Southeast Asia may not be able to compete with China, but they are the kind of persistence and rascals that hold China back. Zhang Qiang was very angry, and he wanted them to disappear from the earth.

Huaxia is not a robber, Huaxia is very tolerant, but we can't let some white-eyed wolves take advantage of it and act obediently, and let Huaxia fall into indecision and cowardice like a woman, so iron blood is the only way for Huaxia to go.

That being the case, these alien races must be eliminated.

So he quickly approved Liu Liangzuo's plan to remove some obstacles for Huaxia for thousands of years.

Liu Liangzuo's plan was approved. In Southeast Asia, Li Dingguo controlled the entire army, and Ma Sanli led the troops to fight. Liu Liangzuo carried out his own plan for the purity of Southeast Asia. Officials at all levels were sent to act on behalf of civil affairs. Zhang Qiang suddenly received a message from Zhou Porridge. Hong Chengchou sent envoys to seek peace.

What's happening here?

Chapter 661 Summation? 1

Hong Chengchou came to ask for peace?

Zhang Qiang touched his newly shaved bald head. He didn't know what to do. He didn't understand. After a hard struggle, I finally squeezed him and his Hong Chengchou Qing army away from the Ryukyu Islands.

I have seen some things about him before. Now he overthrew the Ryukyu king controlled by the Japanese shogun in the Ryukyu Islands, wiped out the power of the Japanese, and occupied the Ryukyu Islands. He has 10 people, 5 troops, and water. There are more than 1 divisions and more than 1000 warships, many of which imitate the [-]-ton warships of the Huaxia Army. They are called [-] warships. The army has more than [-] tons of warships.

The tiny Ryukyu Islands are sparsely populated. Each deserted island can only live in a few dozen people. Several large deserted islands can garrison about a thousand troops. The main island is the largest island. The original Ryukyu Kingdom had only 1 people. About 500 troops. Later, the army of the Japanese shogunate occupied a place with thousands of troops. At the same time, the king of the Ryukyu Kingdom was kept as a puppet, and his army of 500 people was not worth it. Now the Ryukyu Kingdom is gone. So many people must be overcrowded. It is estimated that even the small island where only a few dozen people can be stationed is full of people. Such a large population needs to eat, the army needs credit, and the generals need a place to perform meritorious service. I guess Hong Chengchou's life is very uncomfortable. , Now the hair is probably whiter.

Although it is possible to intercept passing merchant ships and Japanese fishing boats, it is a drop in the bucket after all, cutting off exchanges and business contacts with the mainland Huaxia Kingdom. It is estimated that the smuggled things alone cannot support his entire population of 15. Under such circumstances, Hong Chengchou will not sit still, he is not loyal to anyone, he is loyal only to himself, only to his own ideals, Zhang Qiang knew what kind of person he is before, so he has been fighting the Qing army around, eliminating The Ming army, occupying the surrounding areas, did not tear themselves apart from him, until all the domestic enemies were cleaned up and wanted to develop to the north, then they took the initiative to tighten their fists and deal him a fatal blow.

As far as the size of Hong Chengchou's Lu army is concerned, if he is still related to the Qing army, then with the current energy and population of the Qing army to help him, then there is still a fight, but because he is suspected by the princes of the Qing Dynasty , Wanting to seize his military power, he had to resist, which made him determined to break with the Qing Dynasty. This made his little power become a very lonely force, without foreign aid, in front of the powerful Huaxia Army , even if he persisted, the consumption of energy alone would kill him.

The news Zhang Qiang got was that Hong Chengchou had sent people to Japan to seek peace, but the Japanese didn't look down on him, the expelled Manchu rebels, and he was in trouble. What does the Ryukyu Kingdom of the Ryukyu Islands have?A place as big as a palm, in addition to catching fish, is probably typhoon and huge waves.

Now Thais and Westerners have to detour for a long distance to trade in Japan, or pass through the South China Sea of ​​the Huaxia Army, and escape the roundup of He Jin’s second navy before they can reach the Ryukyu Kingdom. In the past, the Huaxia Army Navy of the Ryukyu Kingdom was also stationed However, Zhang Qiang thought that it was also a subsidiary kingdom of the Han Dynasty after all, and there was no benefit in taking it away. Although he could control some waterways, it took too much experience. Therefore, Hong Chengchou took advantage of it.

Otherwise, Hong Chengchou has no place to go now. Of course he can go to Japan, but the military strength of the bereaved dog obviously cannot compete with the Japanese military strength. The main reason is that the forces he does not have have no stamina. Once he fails, there is no way out. For this kind of person who likes to make decisions before making moves, finding a place to settle down is the most urgent thing.

A few months have passed, and he has settled down. Now that he has sent someone to Huaxia, Zhang Qiang has no choice but to admire his thick skin.

Man can do anything to survive. If he is not promised, then he may harass himself endlessly, harass the sea area, and become a very capable pirate. Maybe he can't do anything about Japan, that's because he is against Japan. The Japanese are not very familiar with it. As an official of the Ming Dynasty, he looked down on the Japanese. Is it the kingdom of heaven!

Moreover, the Qing Dynasty also looked down on the Japanese, so he must also look down on the Japanese in his heart, but now the Japanese must surpass him in terms of population and military strength. It seems that he is ready to cooperate with himself.

Of course Zhang Qiang wouldn't think that he was kind, he just wanted to continue the survival of his power, but he could use him to save him trouble with the Huaxia Army, otherwise tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of warships would just find someone Landing in the local area, I will have a headache, so it is better to give him a little sweetness, let him go to the trouble of the Japanese, concentrate on unifying the country, eliminate the Qing Dynasty and the Dajin, and deal with him when they are all unified.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qiang was ready to meet Hong Chengchou's emissary. He put on his coat and tidied it up. The coat was the uniform of the Huaxia Army. I don't know why he, like those military presidents of later generations, likes to wear military uniforms instead of Wearing ordinary casual clothes or official uniforms, he feels that people in military uniforms are more energetic and bold.

Asking the soldiers to prepare the carriages, Zhang Qiang went from the palace to the Cabinet Mansion outside. The Cabinet Mansion was a former Ming Dynasty Shangshu's house, which was left behind by the Ministry of War. It was very large. The front was the office, and now it is the office of the Huaxia Kingdom's cabinet. , the residence where Shangshu himself and his family lived, now the Cabinet Office has been acquired by Zhou Porridge, and it has become his prime minister's residence plus the Cabinet Office.

He opened a gate on the wall on the other side of the Shangshu Mansion. If he wanted to go out, he would go through the gate. If he wanted to do business in the Cabinet Office, he would go directly through the front yard and through the back door connecting the office to enter the Cabinet Office to work.

Under the protection of the traveling guards, he quickly came to the gate of Zhou Porridge's prime minister's mansion, which was the gate opened on the wall. Before the people arrived, Zhou Porridge had already led his family out to meet him, and a group of people met him at the corner of the street. Zhang Qiang's car, after exchanging pleasantries, Zhou Porridge's carriage led the way, Zhang Qiang's personal guards escorted them, and they arrived at a hall in his backyard directly from the main entrance.

The two of them exchanged a few words of official business, which had to be done. After all, their identities were different now. Now that Zhang Qiang lived in the palace, he would be the official king no matter what he said in the future, not the former governor.

In the past, we fought the world together. Although there were many times when everyone supported him, but most of the time we still called each other like brothers and sisters when we started the family. If this is the case now, those officials in the court, especially the former Nanming Kingdom Today's officials are about to make irresponsible remarks on Zhou Congee on the virtues.

Zhang Qiang also had to listen to the complaints of some officials. Those Nanming officials who used to be censors dared to make a mess of the sky. Zhang Qiang was not afraid, but he couldn't kill them just because of this. Demotion is the punishment they like to suffer, anyway. Their official positions in Huaxia Kingdom are not important, and I am afraid that they will be so happy if they can gain a reputation.

How can Zhang Qiang let them get what they want? Anyway, just pay attention to yourself. Sometimes people can't help themselves in the Jianghu. Now I am shouldering the heavy responsibility of the whole country and the Han people. If this is unbearable, then the king Don't be, he still thinks about unifying and enthroning as emperor in the future.

Chapter 662 Summation? 2

Seeing Zhou Porridge, Zhang Qiang said that he wanted to meet Hong Chengchou's envoy from Lu State. Zhou Porridge pondered for a while, "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. I think it's better to let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Rites receive it. A few low-level officials will welcome you, show our prestige, and show them off. Hong Chengchou is no longer a Qing Dynasty celebrity, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, a prince and a tutor, and the military department that controls military power. Shang Shu, he is just a downcast king who has been exterminated, we don't need to give him too much face."

Zhang Qiang thought, what Zhou Congee said was right, why was he in such a hurry, Hong Chengchou was the one who was anxious, he looked at Zhou Congee, Zhou Congee looked like a mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face, no one could tell from his face There was a trace of inner fluctuations, although there was a trace of respect and kindness towards him on the surface, but Zhang Qiang could see that he had come out of the city after training. After all, he had been the prime minister for so many years, and he was no longer the impatient one under him. He obeyed himself. , A little person who is immersed in doing things all day long.

He is the prime minister of a country.

"Okay, let Zhang Liang take care of this task first, let him send officials and officials from the Ministry of Rites to meet them, and see what they want and what they want to do this time."

A group of three people, hiding and shimmering, walked on the country road, walking on the paved stones from time to time, and poured a layer of earth-lime glutinous rice cake and other local method cement on the stones.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement and the hardness of stones. Although it is not very beautiful, it is stable and firm when walking on a cart. The key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, which is far faster than Dirt roads are much faster and much cleaner than dirt roads, because Daming does not have cars that weigh dozens of tons like later generations. Even if there are carriages for transportation, they will definitely not exceed a few tons in weight. As far as the road is concerned, it is more than enough. This is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

People in the village read a letter, recognize a character, or build something, find an authority to authenticate it, and they will come to you, or the price of what you come up with is higher than the price of other people who have not been authenticated. I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries. Task.

Of course, these people do not need to receive wages. They will be paid when they are requisitioned.

You Haibo’s Department of Officials, Zhang Huangyan’s Department of Household Affairs, Li Guangdi’s Department of Education and Administration, Xiao Dazhuang’s Department of Punishment, Qian Bingdeng’s Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen’s Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo’s Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan’s Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of People’s Affairs Huang Tao, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Chen Hanhui of the Supervision Department, and Milin of the Military Intelligence Department, all the departments are fully equipped.
