On March 23 of the 18th year, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Horqin Department attacked Jizhen and Liaodong, plundering more than 4,000 people, cattle, sheep, horses, and property. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info Liaodong Li Rusong, Jizhen Li Rubai rate the headquarters to break it. chased more than 100 miles, and the whole division returned. Rescue the plundered population, and behead a total of more than 500 levels. The appropriate officials left to wait for the first spring to read Liaodong, and the nuclear is correct. The court of playing, the dragon face is happy, and it is rewarded.
The Horqin tribe was shocked when he heard this, and the Tatar chieftain Bogda Khan Chagan was terrified, and asked for surrender, and sent back the plundered Zhongshun Lady and her grandson Suxiang Taiji. It is said that the rest of the barbarian (Tumut) clans are all lost in the sword soldiers. The emperor has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to raise the sword again, and he is allowed to be named "the king of Guiyi County", rewarded him generously, and allowed to open the field. The Horqin Department was decided.
Emperor Naifeng Suxiang Taiji as the "King of Shunyi County", ordered Zheng Luoshuaijun, the secretary of the precept government, to protect Mrs. Zhongshun and Suxiang Taiji to return to the naturalized (Hu * and * Hao * Te) city, convene the old department, and fight against the rebellion. The barbarian department is also determined.
The north of the Beijing division was initially decided, and the officers and soldiers transferred from all over the country returned to the original place to suppress the rebellion, and the day of the northern determination can be expected! Legend has it that the jade seal of the country mastered by the Chahar Department of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is missing. --History of the Ming Dynasty in this time and space
The first level is easy to do, that is, to catch some tribal tribesmen who do not obey discipline, and cut them on the spot, there will be a fresh head. It's just that the hush money is a bit much, but in order to achieve the ultimate goal, it is nothing. The north was initially pacified, and the troops influenced by the civilian officials returned to their original positions one after another. With soldiers in hand, the actions of the civilian officials have been accelerated.
…… Dividing line ......
We set off again from the port of "Tanggu" in the Ming Kingdom and continued our voyage south. Sailing was boring, but luckily we could talk to Lieutenant Commander Sparrow, the chief of staff of the fleet. After being introduced by Lieutenant Colonel Sparrow, we got to know a very interesting person, Lieutenant Shan Yu, an extremely nagging Marine Corps officer. From Lieutenant Yu's nagging, we learned more about Liaoning.
According to Lieutenant Yu, he, along with General Li Rumei*, Governor Li Sigong, Lieutenant General Li Ruhua, Lieutenant General Li Sijin, Lieutenant General Wang Qinian, Wang Tiezhui "Prefect", Major General Xiao Baitu, Major General Zhang Er, Lieutenant Colonel Qiao Yan, and other important military and political officials in Liaoning, joined the Liaoning clique at the same time and followed Jin Dagong. However, because he was not from a military family, he did not study before joining the army, and he failed to seize the opportunity to study hard after joining the army, so although he made a lot of military achievements, he could not be promoted to a higher rank. It seems that the army, at least in Liaoning, has now been professionalized, and the level of education of officers and men is very high.
Lieutenant Yu said: Liaoning's army is equipped with flintlock pistols, which are still very rare in Europadu, and the reliability rate is still very high, and the muzzle is equipped with a "spear stinger", so that the spearmen can be eliminated in the infantry battle formation, and there is no longer a need for simple cold weapons. Even the cavalry of Liaoning were each equipped with at least three short fire * guns, as well as long knives that could cut iron rods!
From Lieutenant Yu's nagging, we get two pieces of information. One is: Liaoning's firearms troops were baptized by war and defeated the Mongol cavalry that had hit Europa! Lieutenant Yu had participated in many battles against the Mongols, and had personally killed many Mongol cavalrymen.
Another piece of information is that Liaoning began to develop the land in the north, and also set up administrative districts: "Nuer Gandu Command Envoy Division". And this land is said to be connected to the continent of "America". The land is fertile and rich in mineral resources. We haven't had time to learn more yet.
Lieutenant Yu said: In the army of Liaoning, there are many ethnic groups: Han Chinese, Jurchens, Mongols, Chao Xian people, Dongying people, Ryukyuan people, MSL, Portuguese, etc., and in Formosa (Dayuan), there are some other ethnic groups. There are also many religions: Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Shintoism, Catholicism, Shinrikyo, and so on.
Lieutenant Yu said: Ordinary soldiers in Liaoning run at least 30 "kilometers" a day, which is about equivalent to our 18 "miles" (the Dutch used mile in the 16th century?). And heavily armed. My God, few of the soldiers of Europa are capable of doing it!
In order to ensure nutrition, the food of Liaoning soldiers contains a lot of meat: cattle, sheep, pigs, deer, fish, and even whale meat...... Lieutenant Yu complained that there was too much meat, but he still liked to eat vegetables and drink tea. Oh my God, this is a life that only the aristocracy can enjoy, and they will complain.
Lieutenant Yu also complained that he had too much training every day, so that he didn't have the physical strength to go to the "women's support team" to enjoy the new girls in his spare time. According to Lieutenant Colonel Spyro, the "Women's Advance Team" is the military prostitute in the Liaoning army. The treatment of the Liaoning army is too good, right?!
But it's strange to say, when we were in Dalian, we went to the brothel many times, and we were beaten out by the people inside. I don't know why those girls won't accept us.
……
Since "Nanjing", the second capital of the Ming Kingdom, had just quelled the rebellion, the fleet continued to sail south with a little replenishment of supplies at "Songjiang" on the periphery of "Nanjing". I was also able to continue chatting with Lieutenant Colonel Spyro and Lieutenant Yu to learn more about Liaoning.
The fleet finally arrived at the port of "Keelung" in Formosa, which is also the capital of Formosa. Oh, the people of the Ming Kingdom call Formosa "Da Yuan". At the docks, we were warmly welcomed, and we learned that the fleet had another mission: to convey the order of the Ming Emperor to raise the administrative rank of Formosa, and at the same time to promote the rank of Paul Xu, the highest official of Formosa.
Now the official name of Formosa is "Da Yuan Jian Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division", which is lower in rank than Liaoning and is under the jurisdiction of Liaoning. And Lord Xu's rank is equivalent to the "governor" of a province in the United Provincial Republic, with an official rank lower than that of Jin Dagong, and there is no title of nobility. But the most important thing is that Lord Xu is the highest-ranking "Catholic" in the entire Ming Empire!
(Since no one in the imperial court dared to take office, the imperial court had to let Xu Guangqi temporarily take charge of the senior member, and the grade was changed to four grades accordingly.) Xu Guangqi is now fainting happily: a year ago, he was still a poor teacher who was not nameless, but a year later, he became a feudal official of the four grades! Thank the Lord Almighty! )
We were not able to participate in the ceremonies of the Ming Kingdom, so we had to visit around Keelung. Although Keelung is not as big as Dalian, the market is also prosperous, and it is very lively in the dock area. It is not known why previous expeditions said that Formosa was a savage and inhospitable land of no own.
Lieutenant Colonel Sparrow told us that the people of the Ming Kingdom believed that the fluffy antlers of deer were an important and precious medicine, and they also liked to make noble fur from deer fur. It just so happened that the local deer of Formosa could provide these two things, so Keelung became an important distribution center for these two goods in the south of the Ming Kingdom. In addition, Formosa was also an important transit point between the Ming mainland and the Ryukyu Kingdom. That's why Formosa can be so prosperous.
Here, I saw a phenomenon where the local ethnicity is so complex. People of all races walk around the streets in their own ethnic attire, and it feels really dazzling. It seems that those fools on the "Flying Dutchman", who only have money and wealth in their eyes, actually ignore the warship fortress in the harbor, thinking that this is a big fat sheep, so they want to grab it, but they hit the iron plate! Fortunately, their stupidity did not have a bad impact on our relations with Liaoning.
After Lieutenant Colonel Sparrow's introduction, we also learned that Formosa has fertile, warm and moist soils, and that agricultural production is very efficient. Rice is abundant, with two to three crops a year. Mineral deposits are mainly: coal, sulfur, gold, copper, etc. It's a shame that we in the Netherlands didn't get Formosa......
