Tonight was the eve of leaving Luzon, and at this time, Chen Xiong and Yan Yingyuan were also drinking tea and talking.

"Ying Yuan can be ready, and it is time for Ming Nizun to return to Guangzhou."

I originally wanted to spend the winter in the South Seas, but the climate of this island in the South Seas is not so comfortable. After living for a while, the three emperors and queens still planned to return to Guangzhou.

"Emperor, the small family of Weichen has also returned by boat." He was about to go back, and Yan Yingyuan didn't know how the Emperor would arrange for him.

After this period of contact and conversation, Chen Xiong also determined that Yan Yingyuan was not a Confucian general who could only defend the city, and he was also more proficient in governing the world and the people.

Chen Xiong nodded: "What does Ying Yuan think about the division and rule of the southwest of Nanyang?" ”

Yan Yingyuan had already thought about it, so he said directly: "It is more appropriate for the emperor to leave half of Annan than to completely destroy Annan." The people of Annam also have a history of thousands of years, and the will of the nation cannot be extinguished by destroying the country. As the emperor said, born in peace and died in sorrow! In the absence of dissenting voices, the spearhead of the empire would all be directed inward. ”

It is as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, and will not exterminate the nomads, and even indulge them in harassing the border passes.

Jiu'an people are in turmoil, if the army and the people are not given some external enemies, if there are no external worries, then internal contradictions of interests will easily erupt. Now the Ministry of General Affairs has also begun to publicize the strength and threat of the Western powers, on the one hand, it is the truth, but it is also to highlight the empire's defense of the country, and also to give the military and the people an imaginary enemy.

There are many beautiful arts of domination, black can be said to be white, and you have to be grateful to him for buying you.

This is also the reason why Chen Xiong is reluctant to manage more government affairs, which is a compromise between the elites in all aspects, often at the expense of the interests and future of the small people.

sighed, Chen Xiong said: "After spring, Ying Yuan will go to the South China Sea Peninsula to adapt first." ”

The South Peninsula is a territory ceded by the south of the Annam Kingdom, and now there are few Han people in the South Peninsula and there are many things.

It is equivalent to the territory of a semi-state, but administratively it is only a provincial level. is neither surprised nor disappointed, and the level of the government official is also in line with Yan Yingyuan's estimate.

"Emperor Xie."

Chen Xiong nodded and said, "After you are familiar with the South Peninsula, you will take over the islands of the South Sea and the new land in the southwest." If you are not mistaken, you will be the third feudal official, the head of the Southern Governor's Mansion. ”

"Ahh This! Yan Yingyuan, who was still a young man, was shocked, 30 million people and thousands of miles of land would be managed by him!

The Governor's Office is a powerful figure, and his rank is only lower than that of the Governor's Yuan.

"The deity believes in you! Ying Yuan didn't want to let the empire down. ”

The so-called high-ranking officials are not born, and after more contact, normal talents are enough to slowly get acquainted with them.

The emperor was so sure, Yan Yingyuan was no longer puzzled! "Thank you, Lord!"

"Hello! Go and rest! We'll go back tomorrow. Speaking of which, Chen Xiong didn't have much to say.

……

The cold wind is howling and the snow is fluttering. It's a very beautiful picture.

Unfortunately, there was no joy in the low ranks.

"Hey! How many more people do we have! "There were stripped corpses all the way, and Xiaozhuang, who was hiding in the fur wood pry car, didn't dare to look at it at all!

As soon as Ming Zhen got into the car, he sighed close to the iron stove: "Hey! Queen Mother, we have died 60,000 times in the past half a month! But they're all old women and children, veterans! ”

"How are the Han craftsmen!" Compared with some useless clansmen, Xiaozhuang pays more attention to Han craftsmen.

Speaking of Han people, Mingzhen smiled bitterly! "These Han people brought dead wood and grass and stripped corpses all the way, but they only died a few thousand frail!"

"Good! That's good! Mingzhen: Today's brave martial arts is not the only hand broken! Xiaozhuang is also relieved, and the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future will depend on these Han craftsmen.

Mingzhen nodded: "Queen Mother, I know!" Brave warriors can't resist iron-blooded artillery fire! ”

The defeat after defeat of the empire also made the Tartars wake up to the fact that if they do not develop firearms: then they are destined to be destroyed by history.

After a month of the most difficult snow and ice, the Tartars also began to set foot on the frozen ground. In another half a month, they will be able to reach the deep forest, and with the deep forest they will be able to keep warm, and then the Manchu Qing, which should have been the world's mighty, has also begun to be resurrected.

……

Spring was approaching, and Zach and Tachi began to report on the eastward advance of the Hasha Alliance.

After receiving a message from the grassland border, Cheng Dong also summoned the generals.

In addition to several general staff, the generals were: Chen Chang, Lin Hu, Wu Li, Zhang Shou, Lin Jiading, Yang Muqiu, Zuo Zongwei, and Ruan Xiaoqi.

After the Lantern Festival, the Han army would also march by land to the Southern Peninsula Prefecture. Now eight armies and 500,000 horses have gathered all over Guangdong, which has also made Guangdong a heavy place for the empire.

After the emperor sat down, Chen Dong immediately spoke: "Generals, there was only a war in the southwest this year. However, now the Western Fierce Kingdom has united with the Hasha Alliance, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry are intent on attacking the territory of the empire in the east. ”

"My lord, the last general will ask for battle." Wu Li, who was anxious, immediately spoke.

Chen Xiong shook his head lightly, and then the black ball who wanted to speak also sighed and shut up!

At this time, Chen Nan also said: "At the beginning of the year, all the armies have already gone north, so don't expect the generals. ”

Ay! Lin Jiading is the most depressed! The cavalry had been squandering for a while, but the infantry did not fire a single shot. The traitors in Shanhaiguan were bent on escaping north, and they didn't dare to go south at all.

After everyone calmed down, Chen Nan said again: "The lord's intention is to let the first army of the empire and the third army of the border with a total of 120,000 horses rush to the beggar department. The pro-soldiers were the first wave, and the second group was sent north by the Hannan Army and the Hanzhong Army. Commander Yang left the army commander's headquarters, and set off immediately after the year. ”

"Honorable Order!" Yang Muqiu immediately shouted, and Zuo Zongwei was also surprised.

The joy of the two can only be envied by the other commanders.

After the two sat down, Chen Xiong also spoke: "Zuo Zongwei himself was appointed as the commander of the Moxi Group Army, and Zhu Zhen was the deputy commander: in addition to commanding the two pro-armies and the Hanzhong Army, the 100,000 cavalry in the north and south of the desert were also under the command of the Moxi Command. Take the lead in annihilating the Hasha cavalry, and for the Mengxi Kingdom, slowly pressing must not be pursued. There is no need to rush forward, just recover Moxi before winter. ”

For the first time, he became the commander of more than 300,000 troops, and Zuo Zongwei almost didn't know how to speak.

"Thank you~ Thank you, the last general will definitely take every step of the way, and he will definitely not be careless!"

Now that Zuo Zongwei is becoming more and more familiar with military strategy, it can be said that his military knowledge should be the first class in the empire.

With more than 100,000 personal soldiers as the main force, Chen Xiong was not worried about the battle of Moxi, even if they had 500,000 horses. As long as the armies did not advance lightly, it was impossible for the Khasha to win.

Chen Xiong nodded: "Zong Wei can do it with confidence, but don't stay away from Moxi!" The empire will not be moving westward again anytime soon. ”

Knowing the meaning of the lord, Zuo Zongwei also said: "The lord is relieved, and he will try his best to eliminate the strength of the Hasa people in the Ixier River." ”

The people of Hasha are not of Yanhuang blood, and Zuo Zongwei also knows that the emperor wants him to be merciless.

Smart people, always likable. Chen Xiong nodded and looked at Yang Muqiu: "Black ball~ No!" Commander Yang! Don't go out alone, and see more military strategies with Commander Zuo. ”

The black ball is rude, except for the emperor, he is not convinced, even Chen Chang does not dare to verbally provoke this hands-on man!!

"Hey, hey! Peace of mind of the Lord! The last general will definitely respect the order of the left commander. "Yang Muqiu has a rough heart, but he is not really stupid.

He is not as good as everyone else, and his martial arts are not as good as Tie Wei, but his loyalty and uprightness are indeed the most reassuring for the emperor. This is also the reason why he is not afraid of offending people, the empire is not afraid of contradictions between the military masters, but afraid that the military masters are too close.
