********************************************************************

First, the Jing'an Army, and then the rebel army was established according to loyalty, and the Annan people were used to fight the Annan people, which is the highest state. Zhu Yongxing thought in his heart, smiled kindly on his face, turned to Huang Xiuren and said, "Have these soldiers distributed fields?" Let them have no worries, so that they can work with peace of mind! ”

"Your Highness is kind-hearted, and the officials thank His Highness Longen on behalf of these officers and soldiers." Huang Xiuren first bowed down, and then said with a smile: "Governor Zheng Hua spared no effort to pull out the chaos anyway, and has donated all his own fields, ten acres for each soldier, twenty acres for intermediate officers, and forty acres for senior officers, all of which have been dispatched. It was these officers and soldiers who were full of spirit, and they were eager to kill Thang Long immediately and get rid of the Zheng family, a rebel and thief. ”

"Okay, it's good to have this heart." Zhu Yongxing didn't think about it in his heart, but he still praised it, the puppet army is an achievement, and it is an achievement to be able to establish it.

For those who take refuge, they are not stingy with high-ranking officials, and they are rewarded with money, and those who are hard-nosed are high-handed, especially in the early stage of governance, and examples like Huang Xiuren and others should be treated with kindness and promotion.

These Annam captives will also play an exemplary role, and it is impossible not to arouse the envy of other Annamite people. When their lives get better first, the impact will be greater and more coveted. Then come and serve my Ming. There are great benefits. In this regard, Zhu Yongxing is still quite confident, and the common people have the longing and hope to pursue a good life and make their families happier.

"You must deeply understand the goodwill between Daming and Annan, and you must always talk about it. Widely publicize the benevolence of the Ming Dynasty to save the people from fire and water. Well, you are good at doing it, and you will be able to soar in the near future...... We must not only love the soldiers like sons, but also love the people like sons, discipline must not be relaxed, and those who are traitors and criminals cannot be tolerated, and the people must feel the difference from the strict rule of the Zheng family...... "Zhu Yongxing summoned several more Annan officers, with warm words to comfort and solemn admonitions.

Huang Xiuren and other Annan officials respectfully obeyed the order. Another flattery and compliment. Zhu Yongxing was easy and kind, and said some words of encouragement before leaving under the protection of his personal guards.

The advisory group is only training and supervising on the surface, and the Jing'an army also has Chinese eyes and ears, and there are two lines of light and dark, so that Zhu Yongxing and others can use it with peace of mind. Of course, the current Jing'an Army is only used in a decentralized manner and is only responsible for maintaining law and order. It will take some time to observe and test.

As for the captives whose families were in the Zheng-controlled area, they could only be used as free labor. Waste land was reclaimed, water conservancy was renovated, houses were repaired, and the damaged occupied areas were restored as soon as possible. As for the rule of reclamation of ten with one, Zhu Yongxing tried his best to disregard public opinion and treat these prisoners equally. In the long run. After these captives are released, do you know that they will not envy the good life and good system here, and the whole family will vote?

Although it is difficult to swallow it in one bite now, Zhu Yongxing has already regarded Annan as his own territory and has a long-term vision. There will be less resistance later.

…………….

As soon as Zhu Yongxing returned to the mansion, he received a report that the envoys sent by the Mo clan had arrived, including Yan Yongde, the general soldier of the Southern Ming Dynasty who had fled to Gaoping for refuge.

"Mohs is so useless." Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but be a little angry, "Most of the Taiyuan town soldiers have been withdrawn, and they can't besiege it." I originally hoped that they could contain the Zheng family somewhat, but it didn't work at all. What are you doing now, do you want my Ming army to work hard to open up territory for him? ”

"Your Highness." Liu Zuochen, the former director of the Department of Missions and the current head of the Ministry of Missions, gently persuaded: "Although the Mo family is incompetent, he should still be gentle at this time." In the long run, Mohs does have a role in containing Zheng's. In addition, Mo's ability not to forget the grace of my Ming Dynasty and take in and shelter my Ming officials also needs to be praised.

Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not know, it's just that I'm unhappy." There are also those Tusi of Yunnan Province, our army was on the sidelines when they attacked Annam, and now they see that there is a advantage to take advantage of, so they all pounce on them, but what can I do? ”

"The lower officials have sent people to warn those toasters that they must act in accordance with the orders of His Highness, and lose the people and gain the land; He also informed them of His Highness's decree on regional autonomy and let them choose as soon as possible. Liu Zuochen hurriedly comforted: "Everything will go smoothly soon, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this." ”

Zhu Yongxing nodded helplessly, reached out and took a document on the table, looked through it briefly, and signed it with a seal. This document is the application report for the upgrading of the Department of Missions to the Ministry of Missions, which consists of two divisions of military and civilian, as well as two candidates for the director.

"This Ma Shaoyu and Chen Hongfan can both do things solidly, and ......" Liu Zuochen wanted to add a few words, but was interrupted by Zhu Yongxing waving his hand.

"Ziqiao is serious and down-to-earth, I can trust it." Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly, paused, and said: "Zheng Hua and those women in the Annan officials' mansion, well, those with innocent family backgrounds, are allowed to give to veterans, as well as those disabled soldiers!" If the quantity is not enough, it can be bought with money. Also, remember to give a dowry from the seized property, or pay for it with the fields. ”

The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog. This was the standard of behavior for women in that era, even if they were bought, most of them followed their husbands and families in a regular manner, and there were few rebellious types. Therefore, although Zhu Yongxing is a little awkward in his heart, he can only conform to this habit and tradition.

"Yes, the next official will do it immediately." Liu Zuochen bowed, Zhu Yongxing did what he said, and he was not greedy for women, which made him admire it even more.

"By the way, if you don't make a big mistake, let the soldiers who marry their wives not treat those Annan women harshly. People change hearts, if you are good to her, she will be good to you. Zhu Yongxing didn't know how much he could implement and abide by his words, which can be regarded as having fulfilled his conscience and duty, "The Annan woman is very capable, and she is not clumsy. Oh, and there is also a language problem, you can set up a short course, or set up a Chinese language study class in every village and town, so that the people of Annam can learn some daily Chinese. Or-Ziqiao, you just work harder and think about it! ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Your Highness will definitely handle this matter well and live up to His Highness's benevolent heart." Liu Zuochen attaches so much importance to Zhu Yongxing and cares about women. I was a little surprised, but I respectfully agreed.

The idea of equality between men and women has penetrated into Zhu Yongxing's mind, and he regards women as slaves and playthings, destroying their personality or body, which he cannot accept under any circumstances.

And, as he said. Because there has always been a special situation in which there are more women than men in Annan, on the one hand, this has caused the low social status of Annan women, and on the other hand, it has also enabled Annan women to have the character of being able to do the same work as men and endure hardships and stand hard work.

"Summons the messenger of the Mo clan!" Zhu Yongxing reluctantly leaned back in the chair, and said happily: "It's okay to help them, Shenglong's side should be almost unable to hold on, even if it is to advance the negotiations, end the Annan strategy as soon as possible!" ”

…………….

A.D. 1659. In the thirteenth year of Yongli, the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, and the twenty-third day of July in the year of Gengzi, the Zheng clan of Shenglong finally signed the negotiation document, which was known as the "New Peace Treaty of Mingli" in history, and Annan called it the "Gengzi Peace Treaty".

The main contents of the peace treaty were: the Ming Dynasty and Houli determined friendship and mutual assistance and peaceful coexistence; Reaffirming suzerainty, Annam accepted the protection of the Ming Dynasty. 10,000 taels of tribute per year; allowing the Ming to garrison troops north of Anpei; The area along the Red River from An Pei to Yuechi is a demilitarized zone. The two sides set up a joint management department and sent officials to each other; and the establishment of a joint quasi-security force to maintain order, but not to obstruct the movement of the people; allowing the Ming Dynasty to use the Red River as a conduit for business with overseas; indemnity of 100,000 taels of silver; Acknowledging Moh's control over Che Creek Lang Son...... The Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops south of An Pei; Mo's retreat from Taiyuan; The Ming Dynasty should restrain Zheng Hua and not raise swords and soldiers. and should retract the words of uprooting and putting things right; If there is a conflict between Li and Mo, the Ming army should be neutral; If the Quang Nam Nguyen attacked, the Ming Dynasty should come to the rescue......

It was an unequal treaty, albeit literally anyway with a discretionary wording, such as the description of occupation as garrison protection. Describe the indemnity as a settlement fee. Although trying not to embarrass Zheng too much, the essence cannot be changed. The Ming army occupied a large area of land, obtained war reparations, and obtained the right of commercial navigation from the Red River to the mouth of the sea, and the main purpose had been achieved, and the Annam strategy could be described as a great success.

Zhu Yongxing was anxious to settle down, so he was much more lenient in the words of indemnity and peace treaty, and did not force Zheng too much. It's just a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and it may be able to take it without a fight in the future.

And Zheng had to bow his head, because the situation was already dangerous. The Ming army marched south from Yuechi and forced Thang Long; With the support of the Ming army, the Mo clan captured Taiyuan, and then killed the Beijiang River, the barrier east of Shenglong; The Nguyen clan in the south increased the troops of Chang De Lei and Chang Yu Lei, and the Rili Haikou also gathered warships, and there was a tendency to advance by land and water to the north. After the armistice with the Ming army, he begged the Ming army to restrain Mo, so that he could concentrate his strength to deal with Nanruan's movements.

Mo's family, in addition to Gaoping, and obtained Qixi, Langshan, Tingli, Xian'an and other places, although under the pressure of the Ming army to withdraw from the siege of Beijiang, and withdraw from Taiyuan, but from the point of view of the output and harvest ratio, it is also very fair. Moreover, the Ming army privately promised the Mo clan that if the Zheng clan attacked, the Ming army would send troops to help. Without the support of the Ming army, the Mo clan knew that he was not the opponent of the Zheng clan, so he would have to rely on the Ming army in the future, and he did not dare to resent.

The garrison on the peace treaty was large, and although the Ming army had occupied only a third of it, it had already achieved more gains at the negotiating table than the war. After the treaty was signed, the Houli court had ordered the military and civilians in these areas to stop resisting, and all the officials and soldiers withdrew.

Most of the officials obeyed orders, but the local Annam soldiers left their relatives and hometowns behind, and had doubts about their lives after retreating to Zheng's territory. As a result, under the propaganda of tax reduction and exemption and no crime in autumn, many people took off their military uniforms and chose to obey the orders of Zheng Hua, the governor of the Annam Metropolitan Envoy, and returned to their homes to wait for resettlement.

In this way, the Ming army, the Zheng family, and the Mo family formed a temporary balance of potential forces in Annam. Although the Zheng clan was not in danger of falling, it was still in a disadvantageous position, and was in the middle of the attack of the Ming army, the Mo clan, and the Ruan clan, and did not dare to act rashly. At least until the Ming army's promise to release all prisoners of war six months later was fulfilled, Zheng could not afford to recount the strength of the counterattack.

Six months, free labor should be able to build the occupied territory well; Six months, the action to aid Yuanjiang Nasong against the Qing uprising should be fruitful; In six months, Annan's foundation should be solid.

Zhu Yongxing had a wishful thinking, not only to extract the labor of the prisoners of war, but also to enable the prisoners of war to be won over. Of course, the success of Annan's strategy finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. I began to seriously plan for the anti-Qing war in September.

********************************************************************

It is important to have a good beginning in what you do. Zhu Yongxing's change made Zhu Yongxing feel gratified, and his confidence in victory increased a lot.

The power of the sky-bombing cannon, the ferocity of the Ming army's field battle, and the Annan war elephant soldiers are not allowed to use it...... All of this gave Na Song a lot of stimulation. Originally, he was quite confident in the combat effectiveness of his subordinate native soldiers, but the two were compared. He then had a clearer and more accurate understanding.

The native soldiers may be able to defeat the same number of Annam soldiers in the field, but they will definitely not be able to defeat the Ming army; And the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was about the same as that of the Qing army, and it could even be said that it was slightly inferior. From this point of view, even if there are war elephants, it is very difficult to defeat the Qing army in the field by relying on native soldiers.

"Then the Governor's analysis is very correct." Zhu Yongxing agreed with Na Song's conclusion, in fact, this is also the purpose he wanted to achieve by inviting Na Song to observe the battle, "But don't be arrogant." The Qing army had field advantages, and the native soldiers also had their own strengths. The key is how to use it. ”

"His Royal Highness is wise and martial, and Wen Taowu is unmatched. When Yuanjiang started and how to arrange it all depends on His Royal Highness's planning. ”

After hearing and witnessing, Na Song put away his pride, the war is not as simple as he thinks, not to mention comparing with Zhu Yongxing, but with those Ming generals who have been in battle for a long time. He also felt the gap. simply handed over the matter of military planning, and he only used the influence of the Yuanjiang clan to be responsible for external liaison. Strive for the support of the Qingming generals and the surrounding toasts.

"Hehe, how can I take on such a heavy responsibility alone." Zhu Yongxing was very satisfied with Na Song's statement, but still decided to give Na Song a face, "One person is short of wisdom, and everyone is long." I am going to set up a small staff corps in Yuanjiang, headed by the governor. In addition, Wu Zisheng, Duke of Chen Guo, Ma Weixing, Duke of Xuguo, and Li Chengjue, Huang Yuancai, and Zhao Desheng, the general soldiers, were on the side to help. I wonder what the Governor thinks. ”

The two princes and the three general soldiers are also headed by themselves. Na Song naturally knew that this was Zhu Yongxing's desire to look good for his own face, and expressed his intention to lend.

"It's all up to His Highness's arrangement, and all the officials obey the order." Na Song nodded happily in agreement.

The next arrangement made Na Song feel Zhu Yongxing's sincerity even more, half of the 100,000 taels of war indemnity was obtained, 20 cannons were given, 2,000 muskets were captured, and the instructor also sent more than 200, but he did not take the position of a native soldier under Na Song.

Selfless assistance? That's how it should be. Zhu Yongxing knew that this was not the time to be selfish and stingy, and in the face of a strong enemy, he must unite sincerely and unite all the forces that can be united, so that it is possible to use some of his own foresight and foresight to first reverse the precarious situation in Yunnan Province.

If the Battle of Tengchong was a Jedi counterattack and a desperate death, the Battle of Yuanjiang was a battle of Guji and a reversal. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhu Yongxing not to pay attention to it and not to be careful. In Tengchong, he was a bit like a gambler who lost with only a pair of underwear. Now, he has some gambling books in his hand, and if he rolls this dice, he will have to kill and turn over.

“…… The native soldiers are familiar with the terrain and terrain, and can be divided into small groups, attacking and harassing along the road, delaying and exhausting the Qing army; The city of Yuanjiang should be reinforced, the musketeers should be trained, ammunition, grain and grass should be hoarded, and the city should be prepared to defeat the enemy; The terrain around the Yuanjiang River should be surveyed and surveyed, where it can be guarded, where it can be ambushed, and it is necessary to know in mind; Build more ships, recruit sailors and boatmen, and if possible, train a small navy. In this way, the river can be defended, which can not only block the Qing army, but also break the pontoon bridge built by the Qing army, so that Yuanjiang City will not be surrounded and isolated......"

Attending the military meeting were not only the small staff corps of Chen Guogong and Wu Zisheng who went to Yuanjiang, but also high-ranking generals such as Ma Bao and He Jiuyi. Because in Zhu Yongxing's view, the Battle of Yuanjiang was not a local battle, but an integral part of the Ming army's battle in the entire Yunnan Province. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the whole picture, focus on the whole picture, and set the main tone.

"Your Highness." Chen Guogong Wu Zisheng arched his hand and said, "If Yuanjiang is mainly on prevention, it should be fine. His Royal Highness the King of Jin in Central Yunnan and our army in Annam can all support. The Na clan connected the toasts and was able to gather tens of thousands of local soldiers. The Qing army attacked from afar, the grain and grass did not continue, and if it could not be attacked for a long time, it would retreat by itself. ”

Zhu Yongxing shook his head lightly and said, "If you are passive defense, how can you turn the situation around?" The Yuanjiang Incident was only a part of the large-scale movement of the Ming army in Yunnan Province, and it was not the only one. If the Qing army mainly attacks Yuanjiang, then our army should defend at Yuanjiang and counterattack in western Yunnan; If the Qing army attacks central or western Yunnan, our army should go out of the Yuan River and go north to threaten Kunming. That is to say, our army should form a superiority in strength in a certain local area and take an offensive; Defend in a certain local area to contain the Qing army's strength. You-"

Everyone seemed to understand and was at a loss. Zhu Yongxing couldn't help scratching his head, and he laughed first.

All the generals present also laughed with different expressions.

Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, arched his hand to Zhu Yongxing with a smile and said: "Your Highness, you have said it, it is a bit unfathomable, and the last general is dull, this, I am a little puzzled. ”

Zhu Yongxing spread his hands and laughed at himself: "I said it wrong." Okay, I'll just talk about the specific ideas, and I ask you to consider and see how you can improve them. ”

Zhu Yongxing meant that the main force was transferred westward, and the Jin King Li Dingguo and the Zhao King Bai Wenxuan joined forces to launch an offensive in western Yunnan, striving to capture Yongchang and Dali, and open up the road to Sichuan; As for the Yuanjiang uprising, it was a kind of containment first, and after the offensive in western Yunnan was completed, the army went down the Yuanjiang River to attack the Qing army.

In short, it is to use the west first and then the east, concentrate on the use of troops, fight continuously, fight the time difference, and strive to gain something in both western and eastern Yunnan. (To be continued......)
