Section 388 Enlarged Session
Nan'ao Island is Guangdong's closest point to Taiwan, less than 180 nautical miles from Dayuan. The status here is critical, "Fujian, Guangzhou, high and low to rush, Oxai is dangerous, foreign ships must pass through, and domestic thieves must fight for the place".
In the Ming Dynasty, the master of the South Australian General Town Government was all deputy commanders. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the increasingly complicated situation at sea, the foreign power increased greatly, so the Nanao town guard became the chief soldier.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were about 170 general and deputy general soldiers of the two dynasties in Nanao to maintain the southeast coastal defense. Including the famous national surname, he also practiced with his own soldiers on the school field in the main town mansion.
On November 1, 1629, the Nanao General Town Government ushered in the latest master: Cao Chuan (pseudo), the deputy chief soldier of the new section.
After bidding farewell to a group of civil and military officials in Guangzhou, Zhang Dongdong rushed to Nan'ao Island off the coast of Chaoshan with four sail warships that had been divided from Baietan.
Sitting in the slightly dilapidated public hall, looking at the green cypresses on the colonel's field in front of the hall, and then lowering his head to look at the battalion officers and the leaders of the guard who knelt in front of the hall, Zhang Dongdong stretched out his hand and stroked his beard that he had not easily grown, and then began to give orders.
The first is "can". On the island of Nanao, there are not only two battalions of recruits, but also a group of agricultural soldiers, including local guards.
Naturally, the Lord of Zhentai will not be polite: no matter what bullshit serfs are called Huazi, and no matter those battalion soldiers who have been eaten up, they will all take a boat to Lao Tzu to Taiwan to conduct exercises to test the results of your usual practice - after this group of people leaves, there will naturally be regular soldiers who have practiced well to change their guards, and two companies of musketeers are enough.
Of course, if these officers kneeling in front of the hall were unwilling to go to Taiwan for reorganization, then the people of Zhentai would not be embarrassed by them. Just like the layoff and resettlement of future generations, several officers can find a way to be transferred to other defense areas, and the adults will not be left behind.
After listening to the adults' orders, the little officials kneeling in the hall couldn't help but look at each other with a bitter expression.
However, the new Lord Zhentai didn't take these goods seriously at all, and beckoned them to disperse. The road has been given, and I will think about it myself. If you dare to provoke trouble, the dismissal is right in front of you, and the reason is very simple: eat empty.
After sending away a subordinate on the island in five minutes, Zhang Dongdong began to discuss the matter of relocating people with Sha Zhengming and them.
There were not only garrisons on the island, but also fishermen and farmers of no less than 6,000 people. These people are also going to be transferred away one after another. Whether they go to work as agricultural laborers in the fields of Tainan or fish on sail fishing boats, the wealth they create will increase tenfold and hundredfold, which is far from being comparable to nesting on this island.
Therefore, the decree of relocation must also be fulfilled in the future.
When the soldiers and residents of the Ming Kingdom moved away, Nanao Island would evolve into a naval base. As for the original thin fields and beacons all over the island, these will slowly be deserted.
This is done for a reason. Because of the original Nanao Island, there is no need to encounter military pressure from surrounding parties like the Ming and Qing courts. Therefore, for the traversers, in addition to being the headquarters of the general army yamen stipulated by the imperial court, the rest of the functions will gradually degrade, or even give up completely.
The current strategic situation is as follows: The navy has already leveled the large number of pirate groups in the waters of Guangdong, and is now mobilizing troops and preparing to gather a small frigate suitable for shallow water terrain, and then pull the net and liquidate the coastal areas of Guangdong several times, so as to completely eliminate the fragmentary pirates.
In this process, Nanao Island will play the role of a supply base for bandits in eastern Guangdong.
After that, the strategic position of Nanao Island will drop sharply. After all the pirates along the coast of Guangdong were wiped out, the next target of the navy would be the Portuguese in Macao, and then the river bandits and lake bandits in the inland areas of Guangdong and Guangxi.
In short, what is not painful and historical integrity is that in the future, the entire front will gradually move in the direction of Southeast Asia and the Ming Dynasty. In this process, Nanao Island, which is increasingly separated from the war zone, will gradually become a "safe zone", and in less than two years, Nanao Island will become a tourist attraction like the general town and future generations, and the rest will really be of little value.
Therefore, Zhang Dongdong, who is clear about the future plan, will not put more effort into this island. In the future, after the military and civilians move out, at most the wharf will be repaired to maintain the intensity of the troops' suppression of bandits.
Several officials sitting in the hall wearing official robes quickly decided on the future plan of Nanao Island.
And then it's done.
Soon, 24 hours after the Zhentai people absorbed the Yamen, a new fleet of ships sailed from the direction of Taiwan.
The flotilla was a battalion of regular soldiers, except for a few construction workers, materials and tools.
After the soldiers with muskets disembarked, they quickly surrounded the camp of the two battalions of sailors, led by the officer. At this time, the generals who were still hesitating were dumbfounded: Didn't Lord Zhentai play with mouth cannons?
In this way, almost in a state of semi-persecution, the two battalions of garrison soldiers and horses were driven into the cabin and directly sent to Taiwan.
The next relocation work does not need to be so reckless.
The General's Office first sent people to various fishing villages to draw some authoritative ones, and then sent these propaganda teams to Taiwan. After a while, when these people come back, many people will go with them...... This is how the future generations of those who are contract foremen go back to fool their fellow villagers, and they are still in arrears.
The last wave to deal with is the local guards.
The ordinary guards had no choice in going elsewhere, and the key was the officers who had become de facto landlords.
Like the two battalions of Fujian and Guangdong battalions, there are also two hundred households on Nanao Island. And the biggest obstacle to the relocation of the guards is that there are two hundred households in the east and one in the west: when the people are gone, who will plant the land of the hundred old families? How can you still exploit those called Hanako?
Seeing that he bullied his subordinates at will, when the days of the son of Tu Tianzi were about to disappear, the two hundred households who were touched by their fundamental interests naturally had to muster up the courage to cry in front of the eyes of the adults of Zhentai and ask for truth and reason.
Then the landlord died.
What kind of crime is "roaring at the White Tiger Festival"? thought that Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, just broke into the White Tiger Hall by mistake, and was assigned to the army by the gods; Dongge, who wants to have countless brothers in his descendants, was just helped into Miss Liu's apartment, and he was jumped by the gods by 50 million (r). And now these two gray-headed ants have neither the ability of Lin Jiaotou, nor the same amount of artillery as Brother Dong, so they dare to cry loudly in the military plane, which is no wonder that the chief soldier has a military method.
So the two second-hand goods were pushed out of the gate and cut off their heads.
After the obstacles were removed, the immigration work proceeded smoothly. And by the time the front and back were busy, after Zhang Dongdong's side had the situation under control at the beginning, half a month had passed, and it was mid-November.
As expected, in the telegram sent from Dayuan Island, the words "looking for an opportunity to report on work" appeared.
Since the work has been straightened out, there is no need for Zhang Dongdong to die and stay in the General Military Mansion. What's more, like Sha Zhengming, they all knew what the cabinet was doing when they summoned Zhang Dongdong back at this time, so as soon as they received the telegram, Zhang Dongdong returned to Taiwan on a frigate.
It took less than 20 hours for the sailboat to sail into the Taijiang River, and then Zhang Dongdong disembarked directly at the special pier on Dayuan Island.
Since there are still some foreign merchant houses on Dayuan Island, Zhang Dongdong entered the palace with a windbreaker hood and mask covering his face.
After entering, Zhang Dongdong soon met Prime Minister Xia Xianze in the largest office. After Lao Xia saw him, he first arranged for him to rest, and then a day later, an improvised enlarged cabinet meeting was held in the Jianyuan Hall on the top floor.
The conference was well attended by representatives from almost all government sectors. The topic of this meeting is not complicated: Do you want to be Qinwang or not? If so, how can you be king?
......
As early as October 2, more than a month ago, the Houjin Eight Banners broke through the wall and began to rush into the hinterland of the Ming Kingdom.
After that, not to mention the series of defensive plans presided over by Yuan Dudu, in short, on November 14, more than a month after breaking through the wall, that is, the day when Zhang Dongdong set off to Dayuan, tens of thousands of heroes of the Houjin Eight Banners once again "sneaked" from Jizhou, the throat in the north of the capital, and went straight to Beijing.
Note that in Jizhou at that time, there was Yuan Chonghuan, who arrived in advance, and 20,000 "Guanning Iron Horses" under his command. And the 20,000 cavalry did not create tens of thousands of Houjin Xiongshi in the choke point, and let the other party "sneak" into the past...... This can only be said to be Huang Taiji opening the space door, and there is no explanation for anything else.
After that, the Houjin Xiongshi, who was escorted by Guan Ningxiong's division all the way like a tail line, drove straight forward, bypassed Tongzhou, and at the same time as passing through the public meeting, on November 16, he came to the foot of the capital.
At this time, Chongzhen and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu were stupid, and they also knew that the relieved war reports sent by someone before were all fake, just like the "five-year Pingliao" plan he had clamored before, it was all a joke - the wild man with a pig's tail at the foot of the capital was the best evidence.
And Chongzhen, who completely clarified the situation, also issued an edict at this moment, ordering all military towns in the world to lead troops to the king of Qin-of course, which will include a certain deputy general soldier who is far away in the south.
In fact, as early as the first day of this month, Jingshi, who felt that the situation was not good, had already been placed under martial law. However, at that time, the Son of Heaven had not yet clarified the state, so the governors, governors, and border towns only received urgent military reports, and did not involve leading troops to Beijing.
However, when the Houjin soldiers came to the gate of the capital, the Qin Wang order of the imperial court was immediately sent out. So while crossing the crowd for a meeting, the eight-hundred-mile urgent paperwork was already running on the road.
In this way, it will not be long before Xiong Wencan, the governor of Fujian, will soon receive the edict. And he is bound to urgently meet with his political ally Cao Chuan to discuss countermeasures.
Therefore, today's enlarged cabinet meeting is to set the countermeasures in the process of the empire's entry into the Eight Banners this time, so that Zhang Dongdong and others can operate afterwards.
