Volume 13 Chapter 33 Layout of the Southeast
The situation of the entire southeast peninsula of Donghu is settled, as for how to recover the rest of Donghu, it is very simple, force the king of Talong to issue an edict to order all the state capitals to surrender, and the Donghu Dynasty has a total of more than 300,000 regular troops, mainly concentrated in Dacheng and Donghu, and now these two main forces are all taken by the Ming Dynasty, and the rest are less than 10,000 people, and it is not too troublesome to recover.
Donghu now has a total of more than 30 state capitals, in order to be on the safe side, Zhu Cijiong sent 5,000 cavalry to each state capital, and took the edict of King Ta Long to take over the place, this edict was written down, King Ta Long is hand is also numb, and his heart is broken, it's over, it's over, the powerful Donghu Dynasty is over!
Zhu Cijiong naturally will not let such a vassal state that is big enough to threaten the Ming Dynasty exist, of course, he will not kill all the royal family of the Donghu Dynasty, everyone has surrendered, and it is not morals to kill again, Daming is a state of etiquette, and this morality still needs to be talked about.
His method is very simple, directly split the territory of the Donghu Dynasty into three parts, Donghu was reduced to a second-class subject state, and the king of Talong was also the king of Burma, only the territory of the original Burmese Xuanwei Division was retained, and the rest of the places were directly under the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cijiong didn't want to do anything about the Xuanwei Division, he decided to directly use the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division to manage, and divide the remaining territory of Donghu into two provinces.
A province follows the name of the Jiaozhi Chengxuan Political Envoy in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, and governs the original Laos Xuanwei Division, the 800 Dadian Xuanwei Division and all the areas of the original Zhenla Kingdom, and a province follows the name of the Han Dynasty and is designated as the Rinan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, which governs the original Mubang Xuanwei Division and Mengyang Xuanwei Division and other places.
Naturally, the establishment of a province is not simply a matter of drawing on a map, and the administration and local security must be arranged.
The most important of these is the local guard, there are many places in Nanyang that are still uncivilized, coupled with the continuous competition of various forces, the folk customs are quite strong, if you do not arrange enough guards to firmly control it, I am afraid that the government decree will not be able to pass at all.
In the Ming Dynasty, the local garrison force was mainly based on the garrison, guarding the local security while guarding the fields, which not only saved grain and grass, but also maintained sufficient reserve forces, which was a very good way to garrison troops. It's just that in the late Ming Dynasty, the rule of officials was corrupted, most of the guards survived, and more than half of the soldiers in the guards basically fled, and most of the so-called Tuntian were privately swallowed by the royal family and local heroes, so the Ming Dynasty was so weak.
However, now it is different, after more than ten years of rectification, the number of garrisons in various places has basically been filled, more than 500 internal and external guards in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, and now more than 400 have been restored, the internal guards have been basically restored, and there is no way to leave the remaining guards, because most of the outer guards are located in places like the Southeast Peninsula, and the entire territory is occupied by people, and the guards are naturally annihilated.
The guard is almost restored, but the scale of this tuntian has not been restored to the size of the early Ming Dynasty, and the scale of the tuntian varies greatly, such as Liaodong and Northwest and other places after several wars, the population has decreased sharply, the land of Tunwei is far more than before, but the southeast and southwest and other places are population surge, and the land of Tunwei has been seriously reduced after various encroachments, which is that Zhu Cijiong has not been able to solve it before, corrupt officials and corrupt officials can clean it up, but all the people who cultivate in the tuntian are ordinary people, and they can't be driven away, let them starve to death.
Now it is good, the southeast peninsula is also in turmoil, the population has plummeted, and there is a lot of vacant land, so it is just right to transfer the tun guard, which not only expands the area of the tuntian but also ensures local security, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After Zhu Cijiong and Sun Yuanhua, the secretary of the military department who accompanied him, discussed with him, he directly issued an order to transfer ten guards from Nanzhili, Fujian, and Huguang to a total of 100,000 guards, and spread them to Jiaozhi and Ninan.
In addition, the Xuanfu Division, the Xuanfu Division, the Pacification Division and the Chief Officials in Sichuan, Yunnan and other places have all been changed to the Guardian and the Thousand Households, and the Tusi who want to engage in politics can be the prefect, the governor and the county, as long as the honest position can be hereditary, and those who want to continue to keep the army will all move to Ninan and Jiaozhi to be the guards, and those who do not listen to the orders of the imperial court will be dragged out and cut directly!
Now those toasts are staying in Menggen's Mansion, Zhu Cijiong secretly ordered Wang Zhengnan to monitor them all, more than a hundred toasts use thousands of Jinyi Wei secret agents to monitor naturally more than enough, of course, they each have subordinates, but how can their three-legged cat kung fu compare to the Jinyi Wei masters equipped with pistols, so they are all honest now, for fear that they will be accidentally dealt with by Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei is famous for killing and buriing, much more fierce than them!
As soon as Zhu Cijiong's will reached Meng Gen's Mansion, these toasts naturally talked about it, but none of them dared to disagree, there were brocade guards everywhere, and many of them were mixed among these people in civilian clothes, who dared to sing against them, maybe as soon as they opened their mouths, their heads flew away!
In the end, most of these Tusi chose Tunwei, after all, when Tunwei was still the emperor of the soil in his own one-third of an acre, Zhu Cijiong had already arranged this, they were all scattered to all parts of the southeast, and there were at least two or three regular guards of the Ming Dynasty around each Tusi Tunwei, and it was difficult for them to turn the sky upside down.
Zhu Cijiong also left five regular legions, he ordered the Guanning army to stay in Donghu and stationed in Donghu to monitor the king of Burma, the Dongjiang army to stay in Siam, garrison Dacheng and monitor the king of Siam, the second army of the border guards to stay in Annam, stationed in Thang Long City, to monitor the king of Annan, and the Dingliao army and the Wuwei army to continue to build the railway on the southeast peninsula and lay the telegraph network, and so these two things were completed, they were directly stationed in Jiaozhi and Rinan to ensure local security.
Regarding the arrangements for the local officials of the two provinces, Zhu Cijiong was too lazy to bother with more brains, and he directly issued a holy decree to send it to the capital, asking the officials to quickly transfer officials at all levels to Jiaozhi and Rinan provinces to take office.
After nearly half a month, the layout of the southeast has finally been completed, and now there is a first-class subject state of Siam in the southeast, and Donghu, Annam, and Champa are all second-class subject states, as for the corps of the subject country, there are only three of them, a Siamese legion, a Donghu legion, and an Annan legion, Zhu Cijiong directly transferred You Shilu, Wang Xueshu, Wang Shiqin and other loyal and patriotic veterans as the commander of the legion, so as to ensure that these legions can listen to the command of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, there are the two provinces of Jiaozhi and Rinan, and it takes time to deploy local officials and mobilize the guards in these two provinces.
At this point, the matter of the Southeast Peninsula has come to an end, and the next time is the time to fight, Zhu Cijiong knows that the powers of the anti-Habsburg alliance will definitely not stop there, and a war of words cannot be avoided.
