Chapter 215: The Situation in the Rear

Test! Zhu Yongxing did have such a purpose, but it was a bit unexpected that things were so uneventful. In fact, this is also normal, a clan king like him, taking a concubine is not a casual thing, and it is not up to him to decide, it is to ask the court for the will. And Mengzhu and Long'er, according to the official recognition, are just concubines, and their identities dictate, even if someone sees Zhu Yongxing's thoughts, they can't say how to say things in the future without basis.

And silence means agree, Zhu Yongxing thinks so, in the future, no matter how old accounts are turned over, there will be no suitable words. Big things are broken down, and small things seem unimportant, but they retreat step by step, and they fall into Zhu Yongxing's calculations.

The principles are similar, the ideas are similar, and they are also applicable to politics and the military. How was Wu Sangui forced out of Yunnan step by step, how did Zhu Yongxing become the core of leadership, and how did Emperor Yongli's thoughts in people's hearts gradually fade away?

"Spend so much thought for a woman? Your Highness, also, it's really affectionate! Zong Shouyi, who was already the governor of the two provinces, seemed to be dissatisfied, and sighed with emotion, and put Zhu Yongxing's letter into the bookcase preciously.

"Husbands and wives in distress, His Royal Highness is benevolent, and the title is always given." Lu Guogong Qi Sansheng smiled disapprerovingly: "Your Highness is thoughtful, we don't have to worry." ”

Zong Shouyi didn't have a good idea to say anything, so he turned the topic to the development of the two provinces of Mekong and Ha Tien, first of all, to make military adjustments to deal with the new form of central and southern China after the defeat of Nam Nguyen.

"The state of Zhancheng is unwilling to give up the territory it occupies, but it is difficult to resist Beizheng alone, and it is the third time to ask for mercy if it wants to borrow the power of our army." Zong Shouyi shook his head lightly with a look of disdain, "His Royal Highness's intention is to send troops, and if you can, you will be helped." If it cannot be supported, it will be occupied, so that North Zheng can directly intrude on Mekong Province. ”

Qi Sansheng secretly thought about it and said: "At present, three thousand soldiers can be transferred, and when all the troops from Hainan are moved in and settled, I'm afraid it will take half a year, right?" In the past six months, the encroachment on Zhenla has been suspended. What does the Governor think? ”

Zong Shouyi was noncommittal. After pondering for a long time, he asked tentatively, "Is it possible to organize a large number of refugees from Quang Nam?" If you don't fight with An Nan Nan Zheng, you should be able to fight the real soldiers, right? ”

"I'm afraid that people's hearts will not be able to return in the short term." Qi Sansheng said with some doubts: "It's no problem to settle down in the wilderness, but you have to distribute weapons and train them - if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!" ”

"Then we can only evacuate the separated population first, and then pull out some for the King of Jin, so that he can't sit in a group." Zong Shouyi sighed a little painfully, when the land is small, he is worried about the people and the land, and when he is developing the land, he is worried about the lack of people and labor.

"If the Mengshan Clan can be strong. If there are Hainan troops who have arrived in advance, there will be no delay in occupying land to the south. Qi Sansheng said thoughtfully: "Give the refugee policy to Guangnan, and leave one or two acres of ten acres of wasteland." In this way, there are soldiers to protect and someone to reclaim, and there is no delay. ”

"I will give two acres, and when I am familiar with Chinese, and after I enter the Ming nationality, I will make up three acres." Zong Shouyi waved his hand generously. "Plant rice, plant sugar cane." To grow cotton, the more land is reclaimed, the more abundant materials there are. The war on the mainland is getting bigger and bigger, and we can't do anything else but to share the worries of His Highness in terms of materials. ”

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Qi Sansheng couldn't hide his admiration. Appreciative: "Your Highness's plan is far-reaching, and the two provinces of Mekong and Ha Tien are ripe three or four times a year, which is enough to support a civil war." ”

"The word domestic is inappropriate, as if we are not the land of the Ming Dynasty." Zong Shouyi smiled and quipped: "Your Highness treats everyone equally, let's not see outside!" ”

"Huh. The Governor is right. Qi Sansheng glanced at the chiming bell in the corner of the house, and said with a smile: "It's almost time, but the Governor and I will go to the Gao Mansion with me to drink the full moon wine of Uncle Yichuan's son." ”

"Go together, go together." Zong Shouyi smiled heartily and said: "Yichuan Bo has a queen, this is an authentic person from Meihe Province, a happy event!" If we don't go, it's as if we look down on the alien concubine he married. ”

"The Governor is also speechless!" Qi Sansheng in turn made fun of Zong Shouyi and said: "If you enter the Ming Dynasty, you are a Ming person, how can you say that you are of a different race?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's a Ming person, not an alien race." Zong Shouyi smiled, stretched out his hand to invite, and the two of them humbly went out.

Today, Saigon has changed dramatically, with many commercial buildings and spacious streets, and it has shown signs of prosperity. People of different races walk on the road, and they exude an open wind. As long as the environment is stable and the people can be fed and clothed, they will have the heart and strength to build, and with the help of attracting investment, Saigon and even the two provinces of Mekong and Ha Tien are developing rapidly.

With fertile land, abundant water, a suitable climate, and a harvest of three or four crops a year, Mekong and Ha Tien provinces are gradually becoming the most important grain bases in accordance with Zhu Yongxing's vision, providing strength for the war against the Qing Dynasty. The nationality system, as well as the preferential policies that treat everyone equally after naturalization, have greatly eliminated the barriers between various ethnic groups and made other ethnic groups enthusiastic about learning Chinese characters and speaking Chinese.

Without its own language and script, a nation loses its most important things, is either assimilated or lost to history. The distinction between ethnic groups in the Ming nationality is very harsh, in addition to the existing zΓ i in China, the various ethnic groups such as Zhenla and Guangnan are collectively referred to as "Ming people" after naturalization, and even the title of nationality has been canceled.

One side is soft, the other side is harsh, it can be described as a carrot and a stick. The purpose is very simple, forget the original nation, just remember that you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

On the one hand, the two provinces of the Mekong River were filled with Han Chinese, such as those who fled or intended to migrate due to coastal relocation, as well as the surrendered troops and their families in Hainan; On the other hand, they also moved the people of other ethnic groups to settle down in Sichuan, so as to keep the number of Han people in the region from falling into disadvantage. One entry and one exit, not only can ensure the rule of the locality, but also enable Sichuan to get the population and labor, and restore the vitality to the fullest.

Of course, the eastward crusade suddenly slowed down the absorption of mainland immigrants by the two provinces of the Mekong River. After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and since it has been rescued from the sea of suffering by the Ming army, those who have confidence are no longer willing to leave their homeland and settle down overseas. Although Zhu Yongxing and others have regarded Mekong, Ha Xian, and the place that occupied Annam as the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they are not yet recognized as this in the hearts of ordinary people.

The defeat of the Nguyen Thien in Quang Nam was an opportunity for the two provinces of Mekong and Ha Tien to increase their strength. At the behest of the Champa state, a large number of refugees from Quang Nam were allowed to enter the two provinces of the Meh River, and the Ming army took advantage of the chaos to transport back all the equipment, finished products, semi-finished products, and raw materials of the Hue Artillery Factory, thus raising the military industrial capacity to a new level.

Shipyards in cooperation with the British also produced offshore warships, and together with the ships of Quang Nam who had defected to them in the war, a small fleet was formed. To put it simply, with the navy and land forces, the two provinces of the Mekong River already have the ability to support them alone, and Zhu Yongxing does not have to worry about transferring domestic military forces to aid the two provinces.

Of course, Zhu Yongxing is also vigilant about Beizheng's victory. The next stage is to strengthen the military strength of the occupied areas of Annam in the north, and support the occupation of the city in the south, so as to form a two-sided attack on Beizheng, so that it will not dare to act rashly. If nothing else, Zhu Yongxing's plan was to take Jiangnan and then deal with the only remaining Beizheng forces in central and southern China that could still pose some threat to the Ming army.

And Bei Zheng finally defeated his old enemy Nan Ruan, but because of the relationship between the territory he occupied, he exposed his fatal weakness. The Indochina Peninsula is long and narrow, and for the Ming army with a strong naval division, it can be an amphibious landing and cut the garrison Beizheng army into several sections. Zhu Yongxing really hopes to personally direct a good play similar to the Inchon landing, and write a strong stroke in military history.

But as it turned out, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed. After the victory of Beizheng, it was not aggressive, and even the Zhancheng State supported by the Ming army was not pressed too hard. After several attempts to negotiate, although the two sides did not reach an agreement, Beizheng also acquiesced in the occupation of some areas of the former Guangnan State by the Champa State, and there was a tendency to turn the spearhead of expansion to Zhenla. As for the Southern Ming, the Northern Zheng was still submissive, and also sent a lot of property to thank the Ming Dynasty for its help in the Zheng Ruan War.

Is it scared of being beaten, or is it forbearing? Zhu Yongxing was a little unsure, but the property was all received as ordered. Speaking of which, the Ming army's attack on the Southern Ruan Water Division was indeed of great help to Northern Zheng.

Compared with Bei Zheng's knowledge, Nan Ruan, who has died in the country, is a little ignorant.

"The brain is in the water. Restore the country, return to the country of fart. Zhu Yongxing originally wanted to appease the former king of Quang Nam, Ruan Fuwei, so that those Ruan princes and nobles could live in Hainan with peace of mind, and play a role similar to that of rich immigrants, and be able to use the large amount of gold and silver they brought with them, but he didn't expect it to be a drama of Shen Baoxu crying Qin Ting.

A few people in the confidential room looked at each other and automatically filtered out the foul language of Lord Min.

Zha Rulong coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to be angry, let it dry for a while, and they should be enlightened." The main purpose of taking them in is to appease the refugees from Quang Nam. As for possessions, don't they know the truth of sitting on a mountain and eating nothing? Let the people of the business group lobby more, and sooner or later they will agree. ”

Zhu Yongxing nodded, and also felt that such a gaffe would damage his image. After pondering for a long time, he stabilized his feelings and said: "Let people watch them, don't let them walk around, and stay in Hainan honestly." Well, there is also information on the Beizheng side, and there should be more spying. That Zheng Gen is not simple, he has some ability! ”

"Your Highness, if the sailor can spare his hands, he will simply destroy Annan and save his distraction." Zha Rulong carried Jianyì, which made Zhu Yongxing happy.

"Sailor--hehe." Zhu Yongxing laughed twice, couldn't help but look at the map on the wall, fell into deep thought, and was speechless for a long time. (To be continued......)
