Chapter 494: Strategies for Obtaining Grain (4) Cession of North Vietnam
The officials present also secretly envied Lai Yingyang's good luck. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause how many people hope to be in front of Nanfeng, leave an eye. But often, it doesn't end up. Today, Lai Yingyang only appeared for the first time, and he was remembered by Nanfeng.
In addition to using the ancestors to burn high incense to explain, everyone can no longer think of other reasons.
And just when everyone was thinking differently, Nan Feng began to solve the first concern.
Although most of the troops in Yunnan were sent to Guizhou to quell the rebellion. But there were still some Qing soldiers who stayed. Despite the battlefield, the Ming army was not afraid of them. But the common people of northern Vietnam are vulnerable to their threats. After all, there are too many forest trails that can be passed through the Qingyue border. In case the Qing soldiers come to Yin, sneak into North Vietnam. It is very likely that it will be a loss of life.
This poses a great threat to the tranquility and stability of North Vietnam.
Therefore, after some discussion, it was decided to carry out a scorched earth strategy on the side of the Qing border near the north of Vietnam. So that within ten miles, there were no more ordinary people.
Originally, before the Yunnan Rebellion, the local villagers entered the north of Vietnam together with the first parishioners who moved south. Therefore, the impact on the local area can be minimized.
As for the displaced people who stay there, they can all be sent to the camp camp. Then, under the pick-up of migrant ships, they were scattered and resettled in various parts of the South Seas.
Therefore, it is not difficult to clean up.
This is several times easier than cleaning up new immigrants on the North side of Vietnam. After all, it is the harvest season, and many new immigrants have started a new life in the local area.
Once you move back, the amount of energy expended is huge. And during the migration, it is easy to cause instability among the people. If there are people who live in the north of Vietnam, and those who have bad intentions take the opportunity to make trouble, then the arrangement of the Ming Dynasty in northern Vietnam will be greatly negatively affected.
It is also very detrimental to the resettlement of displaced people in the future.
Just emptying the border is only the first step. After that, more troops will have to be sent from Nanyang. While guarding the various customs clearance ports on the Qingyue border, he went deep into Yunnan and Guangxi to obtain the most scarce strategic materials in the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, on the issue of troops, Nanfeng doesn't have to worry.
Because after the end of the Battle of Nanyang, half of the soldiers remained in Nanyang, stationed in Borneo, the Philippines, Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula and other places.
In terms of scale, it reached 130,000 people.
Nanfeng only dispatched half of them, which was enough to deal with the Qing troops in Yunnan and Guangxi. And for all parts of the South Seas, it is also the least hindering. Because Borneo, the Philippines, and Sumatra are the most sparsely populated places. Although there were no large-scale migrations of indigenous people, they themselves were small in population.
Draw out a part of the troops, and there will be no accidents due to the emptiness of the troops.
What's more, the soldiers of Nanyang are all under the control of Nanfeng. Any military action does not have to apply to the Ming mainland. Especially after solving the concerns of logistics and materials, there is no need to be constrained by the local area.
This saved a lot of unnecessary trouble for the military operation of Nanfeng.
After all, it will not be without reason for the local inexplicably to interrupt the supply of materials to the South Seas. Combined with Zuo Peng's crossing of the South Seas and his return to the Ming Dynasty in advance, Nanfeng has clearly felt that this matter is probably not so simple.
As for whether it is aimed at himself or not, it is uncertain now.
It's just that in this eventful season, if you can do less, you will have less trouble. For the time being, he doesn't have the energy, and he doesn't care about local affairs.
But he had already made a decision. After dealing with the problem of displaced people in northern Vietnam, I personally went back to the mainland. When the time comes, everything will be clear.
Because of these things, it involves the top level of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, most of the middle and low-level officials do not know. As a result, all the troubles can only be borne by Nanfeng alone.
After initially formulating the corresponding strategy, Nan Feng asked the top administrator of the Red River Special Administrative Region to personally negotiate with the Vietnamese government on the territorial issue of northern Vietnam.
Because the territory of the north of Vietnam was completely occupied by the Ming Dynasty. But at the legal level, it still belongs to the Vietnamese government. As a result, there are always some improper names and unsatisfactory words in administrative appointments and external publicity. And Daming is a big country, even if you are a robber, you have to be a robber above board.
Like Britain, even if it is clearly bullying, it must be determined in the form of a treaty.
Therefore, in view of the situation on the ground in northern Vietnam, the Ming decided to let the Vietnamese government completely cede it to the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the benefits of the next rule of the Ming Dynasty outweigh the disadvantages.
When the four auxiliary ministers of Thang Long City received the official announcement from the Ming Dynasty, they all seemed relatively calm. It is also the land of the north of Vietnam, which has long been assimilated by the Ming Dynasty. Vietnam's administrative officials have long since withdrawn from northern Vietnam. As a result, the local government has a very low sense of presence in the Vietnamese government.
If it weren't for this official announcement, they wouldn't have known that the Ming Dynasty also recognized North Vietnam as the territory of Vietnam.
Nguyen Van Yen and Tran Van Ji were originally the pawns of the Ming Dynasty in the Vietnamese government, so they were very indifferent to the matter of land cutting. After all, for them, as long as they are on the side of Da Ming at any time. Naturally, there will be no objection to this land cut.
And Nguyen Van Thanh and Pham Van Den were the heroes of the Nguyen Dynasty that was established single-handedly. Every inch of land was bought by them with the blood of countless soldiers. For the matter of land cutting, it seems to be more resistant.
And the land of northern Vietnam, north of Thanh Hoa, accounts for one-third of Vietnam's territory. Cut out at once, Vietnam can be regarded as a heavy loss. In addition, the land of northern Vietnam has been the source and head of Vietnam's development since ancient times.
Even if the people of northern Vietnam are strong, for many years, it will no longer be the land of dragon prosperity in Vietnam. But the historical significance it carries cannot be underestimated. So it means a lot to cede it out.
But the announcement of the Ming Dynasty was in the tone of an order. In other words, the Ming Dynasty had no intention of discussing with the Vietnamese government at all. After all, the Vietnamese government is a puppet supported by the Ming Dynasty. Every move must be done in accordance with the orders of the Ming Dynasty.
The more north it is, it has to be cut, and if it is not cut, it must be cut.
However, in order to appease people's hearts, Daming still gave a compensation condition while cutting the land. That is to agree to cross the Nanjing division and move back to the hometown of Hue. It also means that the administrative center of Vietnam will not be under the supervision of the Ming Dynasty all the time.
This is of great significance to the independence and autonomy of the Vietnamese government.
Therefore, this condition still made many Vietnamese officials loyal to the Nguyen Dynasty excited.
But Da Ming obviously won't let go easily.
While Thanh Hoa is the new capital of Vietnam, the Ming army will assume military obligations such as public security and city defense in Thanh Hoa City. As a result, the Vietnamese government has always been under the military threat of the Ming Dynasty.
Once something that is not conducive to the rule of the Ming Dynasty happens, it will be attacked by the Ming army at the first time.
