Maybe he was too tired, Zheng Xing slept until the sun came out of the mountain, and then he was woken up by his own soldiers, "Master, Su Midan is here!" ”

"Sumidan? What is he doing now? Zheng Xing lay on the bed and thought about it, estimating that he had come to report the situation in Daguli Village, so he got up, dressed neatly under the service of his own soldiers, and after grooming, he didn't even eat breakfast, and went to the big tent to meet Su Midan.

Su Midan was already waiting in the big tent, and when he saw Zheng Xing coming in quickly, he immediately seemed to see his long-lost relatives and elders, and knelt down in front of Zheng Xing, his voice was a little choked, "Master Zheng!" ”

"Why did Su Tou do this?" Zheng Xing was taken aback, he didn't know why Su Midan made this big gift, could it be that the Donghu soldiers attacked Zhebe Village last night? He asked Su Midan to get up first, "Come over so early, is there anything important about Su Tou?" ”

Su Midan didn't get up, he walked a few steps on his knees, climbed in front of Zheng Xing, and prostrate on the ground, "Zheng Shizuo, I don't want all the villagers of the village, ask to be naturalized as Han Chinese, join the Ming Dynasty forever, and be a loyal subject of the Ming Dynasty for generations." ”

"Naturalized as Han Chinese? Didn't you want to last time? Zheng Xing was surprised, but his face did not change color, it must have been the tragic situation of beating Guli, which frightened the villagers of Zhebei, so Su Midan hurriedly wanted to naturalize as a Han in order to obtain the protection of the Ming army.

"Zheng Shizuo, the people are ignorant, they didn't know the Ming army, but now they know that they are wrong, they are willing to naturalize as Han Chinese." Without Zheng Xing's affirmation, Su Midan lay on the ground and refused to get up.

Zheng Xing smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that this time it is thanks to the Donghu soldiers who did evil, and he asked Su Midan to help bury the body of Daguli Village yesterday, and he is also on the right track, last time Su Midan was the most resolute opponent of naturalization, but now he is so religious, "Naturalization as Han Chinese, the villagers are voluntary?" ”

"Voluntary, voluntary." Su Midan made a series of sounds, afraid that Zheng Xing would refuse his request.

"Su Tou got up and spoke, let's think about it in the long run," Zheng Xing asked his soldiers to support Su Midan, and then asked him to sit down on the square wooden bench, "What do the people of Zhebei think?" ”

"The people are willing to unconditionally naturalize as Han Chinese and join the Ming Dynasty from now on," Su Midan hesitated, and finally added: "As long as Zheng Shizuo can protect them, don't let those beasts from Donghu come again." "△dǐng△diǎn△小△語,.♂.o≯s_();

Sure enough, he was frightened by the soldiers of Donghu, but no matter what, it is always good to be naturalized as a Han Chinese, and Zheng Xing no longer pursues Su Midan's previous attitude, "Okay, since the people are voluntarily naturalized as Han Chinese, they will be Ming people in the future, and their safety and life will naturally be protected by my Ming army." ”

Su Midan was overjoyed, and he smiled all over his face, "Then please ask Zheng Shizuo to send someone to register the population immediately." ”

Accompanied by Su Midan, the staff officers of the army registered all the more than 1,300 villagers under Su Midan as Han Chinese and officially included them in the Ming Dynasty.

In the evening of the same day, Su Midan held a banquet to officially receive the wind for Zheng Xing and comfort the soldiers of the Marine Corps.

The Marine Corps and Zhebetsu Village can be regarded as official military-civilian # allies.

Su Midan and Zheng Xing got acquainted, and in the evening he came to the barracks again and asked to see Zheng Xing, "Zheng Shizuo, the soldiers and brothers fight weekdays, what do you need us to serve?" ”

Zheng Xingxin said, there are many places that can serve, so that the soldiers can eat delicious meals and live in comfortable houses, if they are tired, it would be great to have a woman to fan the wind, these words naturally can't be said directly to Su Midan, "Su Tou is really willing to serve the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Meritorious?" Su Midan didn't expect to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty, he was frightened by the Donghu soldiers, so he asked to return to the Ming Dynasty and seek the protection of the Ming army, but now that the Ming army has been stationed in Zhebe Village, he has lost the management of Zhebe Village, and can only go all the way to the dark, "What merit can I make for the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"If Su Tou can make some contributions to the Ming Dynasty, I will guarantee that Su Tou will go to Malacca City as an official, Malacca City, has Su Tou been there before?" Zheng Xing hoped that Su Midan would leave Zhe in the future, because his power in the local area was too great, which was not conducive to the Ming Dynasty to control the local people.

"Malacca? Haven't been. Sumidan shook his head, he hadn't even heard of Malacca.

"Malacca is a great place!" Zheng Xing sighed leisurely to show his infinite remembrance, "As long as you have money, you can buy anything, eat, wear, and play ......"

"But I don't have any money!" Sumidan swallowed desperately and spitted at the mouth, even if he went to Malacca, he would not be able to enjoy these emperor-like lives.

"If Su Tou goes to Malacca as an official, all the property here still belongs to you, Daming will send you another salary, if you make meritorious service to Daming, Daming will also give you a reward, the higher the merit, the more generous the reward will be." Zheng Xing talked for a long time before Su Midan understood the meaning of the word "Yulu".

Hearing that the original property still belonged to him, and he could get additional rewards and benefits, Su Midan's eyes flashed with a glea, and he had already imagined the beauty of Malacca City, "Master Zheng, how can I make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zheng Xing was disdainful in his heart, but he was completely thinking about Su Midan, "The best way to make meritorious service for the Ming Dynasty is to make meritorious service for the Ming Dynasty to kill the enemy and defend the territory, has Su Tou fought before?" ”

Su Midan's face immediately darkened, and he lowered his head and replied in a low voice, "This...... No. ”

"It doesn't matter if you haven't fought a war, there is another way to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty," Zheng Xing revealed his original intention, "Su Tou only needs to promote the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty to the people of the nearby villages, so that they can be classified as Han and join the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Classified as Han? Join Daming? Su Midan muttered softly, he seemed to understand what Zheng Xing meant.

"Yes, just like you, belong to the Han people and join the Ming Dynasty," Zheng Xing further explained: "If all the nearby villages join the Ming Dynasty, then everyone will be their own people, and there will be no more wars, no more killings, even if there are some disputes between the people, they can also be adjudicated by the local government, and the legitimate interests of all parties will definitely not be harmed." ”

Su Midan's face remained unchanged, his eyes were rolling wildly, he thought about it in his heart, this kind of thing is only good for himself, but it doesn't cost anything, he put his mind to it, and did it, "Master Zheng, I agree to assist Da Ming and naturalize the people nearby." ”

Zheng Xing was secretly happy, "Everything Su Tou does, we will remember, every time we naturalize a village, we will record a credit for Su Tou, and when the time comes, we will reward the meritorious deeds." ”

The next morning, he took the staff officers of the Marine Corps and began to go from village to village, using his incorruptible tongue to naturalize the local people into Han Chinese and make immortal achievements.

Even if you don't look at Sumidan, but also on the animal part of the Donghu soldiers, or the savior of the Ming army, the people nearby were all miserable by the Donghu soldiers, and they heard that they could be protected by the Ming army, and they were naturalized as Han people, and almost every village, more than seventy percent of the people who accepted the Ming army.

The actual territory occupied by the Marines is slowly advancing northward.

Zheng Xing stayed in the barracks, waiting for Su Midan to incorporate all the people of the surrounding dozens of villages into Han Chinese.

The herald sent by Zheng Zhilong finally arrived, and he told Zheng Xing that the rest of the 10th Brigade of the 4th Marine Division would soon come to join him, and that in about three days, the 11th Brigade would also arrive.

If Zheng Xing felt the need, Zheng Zhilong even used naval soldiers to guard Malacca City, and sent the 12th Brigade over.

A day later, the interrogator from the north also returned, bringing back a message from the army stationed in Burma.

There were originally more than 10,000 soldiers in the remnants of the Jilunhai in Donghu, but considering illness, injury, and flight, now there are 10,000 soldiers who will not come out, and it is not the tens of thousands of soldiers rumored at all.

The interrogator also told Zheng Xing that in order to cooperate with the navy and completely exterminate the remnants of this shareholder, the army would immediately set out and begin to encircle and annihilate them from the north.

Zheng Xing thought about it, there were only 10,000 soldiers in Donghu, and he was about to have 6,000 soldiers, 6,000 against 10,000, plus the help of the army, it should be enough, so he didn't let Zheng Zhilong send the 11th Marine Brigade over.

The marines began to move north, and Zheng Xing had been careful until the army had not arrived, he did not want to encounter the main force of the Donghu army too early.

In a village called Kampung Dharma, Zheng Xing met the Donghu soldiers again.

To the east of Kampung Darma was the Pahang River, and the Taungoo soldiers were probably preparing to cross the river, and when they saw the Ming army, they immediately became nervous.

Zheng Xing also saw that he was still the vanguard of the Donghu Army, and he was beaten badly by Zheng Xing and them last time, with nearly six hundred casualties, so when they saw the marines in blue clothes and blue hats, they immediately panicked, and some of them were ready to flee.

But Zheng Xing did not give the Donghu army a chance to escape, he now had 800 soldiers gathered around him, more than the Donghu soldiers, whether it was to end the battle of Manchu Jiajia as soon as possible, or to let the nearby people see the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, he did not allow the Donghu army to retreat safely.

Zheng Xing asked the Marines to immediately set up a defensive formation, and the soldiers were divided into three rows, expecting the Donghu Army to throw moths into the fire again.

The Donghu army watched from a distance, but it was not up to the Ming army.

Zheng Xing saw that the Donghu army did not attack, and he had no way, damn, although the flintlock pistol was easy to use, it was too slow to reload ammunition, it was really not suitable for attack, and it was not as good as a sabre.

Thinking of this, Zheng Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, he whispered a few words to the heralds, and then gave the soldiers the order to attack.

The Ming army held flintlock pistols and began to attack in three horizontal columns, the speed became faster and faster, first on foot, adjusting the pace, then walking briskly, and finally trotting.

Throughout the offensive, the Ming army maintained the pace of three columns.

The Donghu soldiers were stupid, what is going on with this Ming army? How come you've never seen such an offensive style?
