Chapter 479: The Ogre Appears
In other words, to deal with these countries, you have to be ruthless, shameless, and unreasonable.
Ruthless.
Keep provoking them to kill each other, and among themselves, as Richelieu did among the princes of the HRE, to keep their blood flowing, to keep their population dwindling, and if necessary, to kill them themselves. At the same time, through political and commercial privileges, Ming merchants infiltrated these states, just like the original historical powers, cultivated compradors, banana people, and the like within these states.
At the same time, bring the population of the Ming Dynasty over.
That's ruthlessness.
Shameless.
You must not feel that you are a state of etiquette in the Celestial Empire, so you can't pull it off.
This is definitely not going to happen.
We must be as greedy as the European colonizers, grab all the benefits we can get, and get all the minerals, commerce, and even food and finance of these states into our own hands in various ways. They collude with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, bribe bandits and hooligans, and even simply support gangs for smuggling, and even kidnap for ransom.
Just like the Japanese in my Great Manchuria.
Yoshisuke Ayukawa is a role model.
Although he is a Class A war criminal, what about Class A war criminals? Isn't the Nissan Consortium still glorious in the 21st century? And there is still no sign of a glorious end.
And vexatious.
That is to say, from time to time, for various reasons, such as the empress's birthday, the birth of the prince, the queen mother's birthday, etc., ask those states to donate land to congratulate, and not to donate soil is to disrespect the Ming Emperor. Then the Lord Protector should be like the legends of the so-called knights protecting the princess in Europe, carrying his forty-meter long knife to his wife to save face. If you dare not give face to Her Majesty, how can you bear it as Her Majesty's husband, as a man, who bullies his wife, must not be angry.
Beat!
Gotta get your face back!
In short, ruthless, shameless, and vexatious, this is the principle of the future Ming Dynasty to treat Fanbang.
Very quickly well thought out......
In fact, it was considered overnight, and the king of Jingjiang would not be entangled in this issue for too long, and the next morning he went to the table and offered Liuzhou Mansion as the prince's 100th birthday, becoming the first vassal king in the Ming Dynasty to congratulate the prince on 100 days by offering soil.
But he only donated his land, and it is still unknown whether the prince of Jingjiang in Guilin or the Advisory Bureau will accept it, but if the latter does not accept it, it will be a rebellion. Except for those that have been handed over to the imperial court, Guangxi is a fief of the King of Jingjiang, and they all belong to the King of Jingjiang, and he has the right to give it to anyone, and if someone obstructs it, it is a rebellion. There are people in the Jingjiang Domain who rebel, and as the Ming army, they have to perform their duties, so the Guangxi Consultative Bureau dares to refuse, so wait for the Ming army to go north and smash Guilin! In fact, there is no need for the Ming army, the poor people in Liuzhou have been waiting for Wang Shi for many years, and now that the king of Jingjiang has donated his land, there are still people who dare to obstruct Wang Shi, and they will solve these anti-thieves themselves.
And the second to donate soil was North Korea.
The king of Joseon, who had basically become a real protectorate......
That is, the original son Li Hao.
His father Li Liang died of illness two years ago, and his brother Li Wei was taken hostage by the Qing army after the second Qing invasion, that is, after the Bingzi Rebellion, and has been in the hands of the Qing army since then, and was also crowned the king of the same level as Kong Youde by Dolgon, and died in Lu'an with the latter.
As in the original history, Li Hao successfully took over Li Liang's class and became the king of Ming Joseon.
and King Jingjiang at the same level.
Enjoy the treatment of a prince as a prince of the county.
He has the closest relationship with Yang Qing, and he is also the most aware of Yang Qing's temper, knowing that this uncle has to listen to what he says, and he must not give him a chance to be angry. Isn't it just to donate a piece of land, he is not short of land, and Yang Qing did not stipulate that there is no provision there, at this time, North Korea is vast and sparsely populated, just pick a piece and donate it. However, since King Jingjiang is offering a fief of a mansion, he must not just find a small island and fool around, at least it is similar to Liuzhou Mansion. So the king of Joseon presented the territory of the capital of Jingcheng to Her Majesty the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, which is the northernmost part of Korea, which is actually generous to others, because he has not yet recovered this area at this time. Because of the sudden collapse of the Great Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Korea, which originally controlled this area, were panicked, and they didn't want to abandon their homeland, and they were afraid that the surrender of the Li family would pull up the list afterwards, and they didn't know where they belonged, and Li Hao was busy taking over these valuable territories in Yizhou, and he couldn't take care of them.
Since that's the case, it's better to just throw it to Daming.
Anyway, for him, it was a completely worthless remote mountainous area.
Of course, it's not the same for Daming.
"This place is good, let the Beiyang Navy Division immediately send marines to receive it, and those Eight Banners Korea will be directly organized into Huangzhuang, and a military port will be built in Qingjin."
Yang Qing said with satisfaction.
Gyeongseong Metropolitan is North Hamgyong Province, and north of Gyeongseong is Cheongjin Port, but at this time it is only a small fishing village, but this is an ice-free port, and it is not easy to have an ice-free port at this latitude. The Ming army built a military port there, and the next step was to go to Vladivostok to build another base, and then rebuild the twin city guards from Vladivostok to the north by land. With the development of this large plain around Xingkai Lake, whether it is rice or potatoes, it can really establish a military reclamation area, and it can also support the whaling industry in this area.
"According to Jidu's previous offering, a Rakshasa gang has just appeared in this area."
Zhang Shifeng said.
"Khabarov?"
Yang Qing said.
"Well, this Jidu didn't report his name, but they said that they burned and looted along the Heilongjiang River, and even killed a relative of Huangtai Ji's forehead, and now they have reached the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, and they have washed many villages in this area, and they are still stationed in a small village called Balaza."
Zhang Shifeng said.
Of course, he didn't know that this gang was led by the Khabarov that the protector had just mentioned.
This guy who originally changed his name to Boli as Khabarovsk in history would have fought with the Qing army in this Balaza village next year, kicking off the prelude to the long-term entanglement between the Qing army and Russia in the Heilongjiang River valley. The main reason is that when he kidnapped the Daurs, he killed a relative of Huangtaiji, but at this time there were no Qing troops, and it was obvious that Khabarov would still be stationed in this small village in the short term. The Russians had only arrived in Yakutsk, the city known for its cold on the Internet, but Khabarov was able to grow crops there, and I have to say that these Russians are also amazing.
The expansion of the Russians in the Far East and Siberia was based on river channels.
One river colonized, one river colonized.
Then, where there are no river channels, explore by land to find new river channels, and then explore by rafting until you reach the main river of the new world from the small river to the big river and finally into the main river of this new world, and build a stronghold along the way.
That's how they entered Heilongjiang.
Originally in Yakutsk, in 1643, by Boyarkov by land exploration, from the Lena River tributary to the Heilongjiang tributary ** Qili River, it took three full years to even eat people, before finally determining the route into the Heilongjiang River basin.
Khabarov was the second batch.
However, for the time being, Yang Qing can't take care of them for the time being.
Because the Jianzhou Wei led by Jidu was still cleaning up the remaining divine army in Liaodong, and Bolo with a remnant also flowed to the Songhua River Valley, and the Ming army could not go north for the time being. Of course, it is not impossible to send troops, after all, those whaling ships are operating at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, and it is enough to gather a militia team to land in Vladivostok and then go north with cavalry.
But......
There were too few people in Khabarov.
It's nothing more than a hundred people.
It's better to let him succeed, and then attract more Russians to the south, if the latter hides in Yakutsk, Yang Qing really can't go on an expedition to such a ghost place. It is said that no matter how capable the army is, it is impossible to operate in such a place of minus 60 degrees like these guys, and the average temperature in winter is minus 40! But the Russians will not like this kind of place either, they just didn't find a better one in the Far East, and the Heilongjiang valley certainly pleases them more than Yakutsk, so let them continue to go south! The Russians in the Far East may be able to add up to more than 10,000 at this time, so they will use the Heilongjiang area to attract them all, and then wait for the bases of Qingjin Port and Vladivostok to be completed, and the Shuangchengwei will be rebuilt, and all that remains is nothing more than a brigade to sweep over.
At the level of the Russians......
In other words, it is also Brother Ma's ability, and the Ming army at this time does not need a regular army, and a militia brigade can beat violently.
It's nothing more than an arquebus, at most a few one- or two-pound guns, maybe it has to be leather cannons, which are similar to big lifting rods, and it's not a Russian army, it's just a group of armed immigrants. The full-flintlock Marine Cavalry Brigade was the equivalent of a Tyrannosaurus rex descending on the Serengeti savannah, and it was easy to sweep away these Russians.
So let Khabarov go back!
Let him take more Russians and go south from distant Yakutsk, and it would be better to bring back all the people in the whole of Yakutsk, who will like the environment in Boli and Yakutsk at minus 60 degrees, which is like paradise. Arrange some caravans to trade with them there, let them see the golden light of wealth, and they will come more.
Even they will build cities.
They would even move the Doge's Palace, eventually replacing Yakutsk as their largest settlement in the Far East.
Then one day, the Ming army marched north to destroy them all, and completely completed the cleanup of Lingbei.
As for the unlucky Heilongjiang coast......
Well, the army of the Ming Dynasty will avenge them!
There are Sauronians.
That is, in the era of the Ten Perfect Old Dogs, the backbone of our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, such as the first fierce general of the Ten Perfect Old Dogs, Hailancha, although they were still conquered in the Huangtaiji era, but the Eight Banners in the middle of the Qing Dynasty really relied on the support of the Saurons.
