Chapter 552: Zheng Chenggong succumbed
The Huaxia army ignored Zheng Chenggong's false desire for peace, and brutally sent troops to attack the treasure island, Zheng Chenggong was anxious and hateful.
Look at this letter sent by Zheng Chenggong, which is similar to a diplomatic document, the letter is full of sincere language, always claiming that it was not what he did, that someone betrayed him, and ambushed the supply ships of the Huaxia army behind his reputation, and at the same time stated that they had always been friendly with the Huaxia army, and they were the people of the Han Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they could not hurt their peace for an attack.
Zhang Qiang was angry, this was public, he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, since he was his person, then he had to make him pay a little price, he actually wanted to cover up the matter with a letter like this, was it easy to bully when the Huaxia Army?
The Huaxia Army is not the same soft bone that has been inherited from later generations since ancient times, the Huaxia Army is the Huaxia Army under the leadership of Zhang Qiang, it is adhering to the fighting will of Lao Mei and speaking with his fists, Zhang Qiang has always cultivated them with the requirements of the fighting nation, not Confucian culture.
Although there are many things in Confucian culture that can resolve things, ingenious methods and intrigues, and there are many positive things, the Chinese just have not learned these things, but have been taught to value peace, and then slap themselves backhanded, and then say to their own people that you must endure, must endure, endure until your children and grandchildren will be slaves for me, cattle and horses.
When the time comes, if your children and grandchildren want to rebel, then come to a vigorous peasant uprising, which is actually doing a self-inflicted deed.
People and others, Lao Mei, the West, are directly kicking your door, going up to beat you half of the body before forcing you to press the handprint, snatch your daughter-in-law, money, turn back to those who bully their own people but backhand continue to force and oppress their own people, now this Zheng Chenggong is such a person, he has been bullied, in turn he still wants to bully his own people, when the Huaxia Army is still an honest Chinese?
Huaxia Jun is a Chinese. It is a brave fighting nation, a nation that speaks with fists and feet, and you are convinced if you don't accept the fight.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have already ordered Wei Wuji to mobilize the sailors to find trouble with Zheng Zheng Chenggong, since he wants to play yin, let's also play yin with them, and also attack one of their fleets, this time it's not just the fleet, it's their sailors, destroy one, let's see what they say, oh, by the way, according to such an article, let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also write a copy, I won't go out, you go and explain."
"This, it's not good, now our family has a big business, a little damage, it's not good for our reputation, it's better to give Zheng Chenggong a step down, temporarily rest the matter, if it doesn't work, investigate, compensate the families and merchants of the lost fleet with some money and materials, and wait for us to destroy the Qing Dynasty and then turn back to deal with Zheng Chenggong, we are now fighting on several fronts, and the financial aspect is unbearable." Zhou Congee disagreed with this matter.
Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "People are weakening you, it's something related to war, if you indulge them this time, they attack us next time, can we still bear it?" At that time, it affected our supply to Li Dingguo's ministry, not to mention that Li Dingguo sent Li Chengdong to Burma to avenge Emperor Yongli.
Emperor Yongli is a native of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also an emperor of our Han people, if he dies like this, then even if we unify the Ming Dynasty in the future, there are some white-eyed wolves around us, will we fight against them for the rest of our lives?
In the future, if we are a little weakened, and they don't climb on us to show off their might, or help other rising enemies to fight us and divide the land of our children and grandchildren, and kill our children and grandchildren, will we still be able to jump out of the grave to help our children and grandchildren at that time? Once and for all, completely solve these white-eyed wolves around them, and let them go underground to be ghosts. ”
"What's more, Zheng Chenggong is a big trouble, just like the Mongolian and our Han court, sooner or later we have to kill them, the treasure island is our Chinese army, we can't just take care of the interests of the mainland, but also see if our children and grandchildren can happily swim on the sea in the future, a country without the sea is sad, a country that is always harassed by the enemy on the sea, sooner or later will be like the Ming Dynasty, always attacked and consumed by foreign races on the grassland, and will always be destroyed, do you think that the Huaxia we established will be ruled by foreign races, Will the alien race perish? ”
"This is impossible, but if we launch a battle with Zheng Chenggong now, it is not in vain to cheapen the Southern Ming Kingdom or the Qing Dynasty, we should accumulate strength, and wait for the Qing Dynasty to destroy Dajin, or after the Qing Dynasty defeats Dajin, we will fight a decisive battle with the Qing Dynasty, if we fight a naval battle with Zheng Chenggong, first, Zheng Chenggong will have the help of the Taixi people, and second, the naval battle is a protracted battle, and the naval division has not seen the enemy for a few months, but the consumption is continuous, and our Huaxia Army now has some savings, but we can fight a war of attrition together, It may affect the time for us to unify the Ming Dynasty, and the third strategic goal is now quite slow for us to proceed, isn't it because we want to accumulate strength now? ”
A group of three people, hiding, shining, walking on the country road, from time to time walking on the paved stones, and pouring a layer of earth-based cement mixed with earth, lime, glutinous rice cakes, etc.
This makes the road have the appearance of cement, and there is the hardness of stones, although it is not too beautiful, it can walk up a big car, stable and strong, and it is not a foot, the key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, far faster than the dirt road, much cleaner than the dirt road, because the Ming Dynasty does not have the kind of car weighing dozens of tons in later generations, even if there is a carriage for transportation, it will definitely not exceed a few tons of weight, this weight is more than enough for this low-level road, this is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.
Can't say how advanced it is, how advanced, but it's definitely convenient.
And with the increase of R&D personnel, mainly the Huaxia Army has added other industry examinations on the basis of the imperial examination, 360 lines, there are examinations in all walks of life, and 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 results of research to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.
* In the crackling gunfire, Zheng's counterattacking troops were constantly ruthlessly knocked to the ground by muskets, and Zheng Chenggong hastily organized a counterattack, and the whole army was wiped out in less than half an hour, declaring failure.
The people in the village read a letter, recognize a word, or build something, find an authoritative certification, and look for you, or the things you take out are sold at a higher price than those who have not been certified, and you have to find you to settle accounts and deal with the government.
Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, and when he passed through the countryside, he learned about these things through the mouth of the young man who led the way.
Low-level certifications don't require you to be literate or read, as long as you can get something out of your hands in the industry and get government approval.
In addition, you can obtain the qualification to attend adult night classes for free, and if you graduate from night school, that is, you know ten Arabic numerals and know more than 100 words, you can take the qualification level 2 exam.
These exams are focused on the best in the industry, and if you can speak the whole story of farm work, and record it with the help of others, and you can understand some of it yourself, you will be able to obtain a Level 2 qualification.
These people were requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much was produced, how much iron was produced, how much iron could be made in a day, whether some things made by carpenters met the standards set by the government, and to help the government solve the tasks of contacting people in these industries.
Of course, these people don't have to receive a salary, they will pay you when they are requisitioned, and when they are not requisitioned, you will still do your old job, and the government will give priority to using your things.
When you want to go one step closer, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification, these people must be able to speak and write, these people are generally some veterans or businessmen, government veterans, or industry leaders who have been famous for a long time, some of them are directly requisitioned by the government to give a clerk, these clerks have more than half of the time to work in the government, called the bottom clerk of the government.
They have no possibility of being promoted to government civil servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, and even put forward some good suggestions and develop good things.
The fourth level is often those who have read books, and have a deep knowledge in the industry, they also have a heart to be an official, they will generally be arranged as clerks first, pass the official examination, become the official office clerk, the clerk can be promoted, can be promoted to the clerk, clerk, book and other positions, equivalent to the township head, the town mayor's auxiliary personnel.
Zheng Chenggong definitely didn't expect Zhang Qiang to treat him like this, and when he found out, the islands around him had been swept away by the Huaxia Army, and the four fleets of the Huaxia Army went out together to hand over the coastal defense to the garrisons of those naval divisions, the marines, and the fishermen who were responsible for assisting the Huaxia Army.
Feng Xin brought him news, and the Huaxia army in Baozhong Mansion also went out to clear the defenders on the Zheng Road around him, although there was still the moment to start the final battle, but on the treasure island, the spies of the Huaxia Army infiltrated everywhere, and the defenders on the land of the Zheng family around Baozhong Mansion were all clear, and at the same time, they were ruthless, and they were all pulled out one by one.
The 3rd Field Brigade and the 6th Field Brigade of Baozhong Province only sent some elite squads and militia troops, and expanded their territory on the treasure island by a whole circle, and the range of thirty miles was controlled by the Huaxia Army, and in the past, only a hundred miles of land belonged to the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army has always kept its promise not to expand into the interior of the treasure island. In one move, since the relationship broke down, the defenders of the Zheng army on the island approached and even invaded the Huaxia army, and all the territory within a hundred miles of the Huaxia army was recovered, and it expanded outward for thirty miles.
The Huaxia Army did absolutely this time, the Zheng clan was defenseless, they were just guarding against the Huaxia Army's sailors, but they forgot that the land strength of the Huaxia Army was the real elite, and it really shook their fundamental strength.
The Huaxia Army is the force competing for hegemony in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, and of course it is the most elite infantry.
The new carriage was built under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.
At the same time, under the advice and promotion of businessmen or shopkeepers, they quickly entered the military and civilian of the Huaxia Army, and obtained commercial interests and national interests.
Let the society promote its own development, Zhang Qiang is only a bystander, a guide, otherwise, with his knowledge structure, with his insight, with his historical knowledge, it will not be able to reach the development level of other travelers in a hundred years.
"I know," Zhang Qiang nodded, "It's easy to lay down the territory, but it will take a while to turn the territory into ours and make the people admit that we are going to take a while, and our current strategy is to take down one place to digest another, and finally completely take over the entire Daming country step by step."
But the Ming Dynasty is too small, we have to look farther, to the west, we have a vast land in the west, and there are some alien races, let's eliminate Zheng Chenggong as soon as possible, put our energy back on the land, we can slowly develop westward, compete for territory with those alien races, eliminate them, and make our future generations more large, so, fighting Zheng Chenggong is not slowing down, but speeding up, I don't want to put a large number of troops in the south. ”
"By the way, since the Southern Ming Kingdom has been disabled by Li Dingguo, the military strength is now weakened, and our Feng Wuyu has also been in Guangzhou Mansion for a long time, so he will go out to carry out activities and attack the Southern Ming Kingdom, they dare to provoke things, they will be held responsible, this time Zheng Chenggong will do it to us, it is estimated that there is also the intention of the Southern Ming Imperial Court, you send envoys to threaten them first, let them be responsible for the provocation some time ago, hand over one million silver, and cede six county towns to us."
Zhang Qiang had a whim.
Zhou Congee opened his eyes wide, he was a good person, but he didn't expect Zhang Qiang to make something out of nothing, and actually let his former allies cede land to the Huaxia Army for compensation, just because they had provoked the Huaxia Army, what kind of logic is this?
Zhang Qiang ignored him and continued: "If they don't agree, then let Feng Wuyu go out, take down the two county towns, see their reaction, if they send troops, continue to fight, and fight until they give in."
Then they negotiated a few times, and they were tougher and tougher each time, dragging it out, and then they would take down another county seat, and if they dared to be tough, they would increase the weight, and if they were soft, they would take away the promised territory and the promised compensation, so that they would become soft bones completely, and finally let them sign an agreement to become our vassal state, and pay tribute, property, and silver to us every year and open the port, so that our merchants could pass through their territory, otherwise they would fight again.
Zheng Chenggong looked at the generals gathered under his subordinates expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "The Huaxia Army has torn up its previous promises and has begun to attack us, we can't sit still, we need to unite and resist this aggression, the treasure island is ours, and the Huaxia Army is a barbarian on land, just like encroaching on our territory."
The final result was that Zheng Chenggong's treasure island was ceded by a quarter, and most of the fleet was bombarded, and he sued for peace in humiliation.
However, Zheng Chenggong has occupied a lot of land in Nanyang, and with the support of the Han family in Nanyang, he has also lost the east, Sangyu.
