Duan Wan'er smiled bitterly and said, "So what? Now that there is a clan name, and there is a place to live, even if the clan is docile, what are they afraid of? What's more, we can take our time and organize our clansmen to practice martial arts and strengthen their hearts, and in time—"

"In time, my Bai tribe has no hope of revitalization." Duan Zhiying sighed a little stunned and said: "His Royal Highness Min once said: The weak always believe in miracles to seek salvation, thinking that as long as they expel the enemy in their own imagination, they will defeat the enemy, but they don't know that they are deceiving themselves. God wants to favor those who work hard, and they don't do anything themselves, just waiting for God to open their eyes, and waiting for starvation to death. ”

Duan Wan'er blinked her eyes wide, and she was stupid for a while, only thinking about this philosophical quote, but forgetting to continue to persuade.

Duan Zhiying didn't notice her sister's strange appearance, lowered her head and continued to take care of herself: "Sister, don't worry about it. I don't necessarily want to go to the battle array, but I really want to go to the navy. Well, that's what the water master means. You don't know how big the world is outside, how vast the sea is, and where you can go from the sea. Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hebei, and Liaodong can all go by sea and fight with soldiers. The battlefield is so big that I never dreamed of it before. Sister, sister—"

Ah, Duan Wan'er woke up slowly and looked at her younger brother in confusion, Duan Zhiying had no choice but to repeat it again.

"Others are talking nonsense and incitement, how do you know if it's true or not?" Duan Wan'er pursed her lips and said disapprerovingly.

"How could His Highness Min say anything? Sister, don't say this casually. Duan Zhiying cautioned cautiously.

Duan Wan'er opened her mouth and muttered, "It was he who said it, then, that is still a little credible." ”

"I want to open my eyes and gain knowledge." Duan Zhiying set his eyes into the distance. Said leisurely: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." Zhang Lao, the wise man in the clan, only understands the philosophy of life and the thoughts of people's hearts, and his eyes are limited to one place and one time. As for me, even if I can't become a general, I will become the most knowledgeable and experienced new generation of wise men in the clan, and show the people the way to prosperity and well-being. Sister. Do you think I can do it? ”

"It works, it definitely works." Duan Wan'er nodded again and again, took out a handkerchief, lovingly wiped the crumbs from the corners of her brother's mouth, and did not hesitate to appreciate her brother's ambition.

"Sister, I'm doing well in the barracks, you don't have to worry, you don't have to come to see me all the time." Duan Zhiying showed her mature side, and turned into a little brother with a grinning face. "Lest others make fun of you."

"It's good, why is there a wound on your arm?" Duan Wan'er glanced at Duan Zhiying, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hide it, I want to hide it!" ”

"Training, bumps and bumps are inevitable, only a little bit of skin, it's okay at all." Duan Zhiying accompanied the smiling face and explained and comforted.

Duan Wan'er shook her head helplessly and handed the change of clothes she brought to Duan Zhiying. and kept nagging.

"Sister, I remember it all." Duan Zhiying kept nodding. Taking advantage of my sister's pause, she hurriedly said, "Then I'll go back first." His Royal Highness Min will come to check his homework and training in two days, and I still have to hurry up and prepare! ”

"Go ahead!" Duan Wan'er sighed reluctantly, and watched her younger brother walk away, until she couldn't see her back, and then turned around.

Although the city of Ampe is not yet prosperous and prosperous. But there are already signs of an orientation on the ground. Many shops are decorated with lights, although there is no official order, but most of the shop owners still congratulate Zhu Yongxing for taking a concubine. Of course, this is also a habitual behavior of flattery.

The materials were not particularly abundant, but the fruits of the autumn harvest were after the occupation of the Ming army. Under Zhu Yongxing's decree of tax exemption and grain exemption, most of them were obtained by the people, which also relieved the people who were living in hardship under the expropriation and tyranny of the Zheng clan in Annan.

With the large-scale reclamation and planting of barren farmland, the Annam base will not only be self-sufficient next year, but will also have a considerable surplus. For most ordinary people, all they hope is to live a peaceful and stable life, and they will be satisfied if they can have no worries about food and clothing. Coupled with the signing of the peace treaty and the identity of the puppet Zheng Hua, the Annam people have no name and motivation for violent resistance. Having been abandoned by the government, who can risk their lives to resist in vain?

The Ming occupation area gradually formed a stronger and stronger attraction, which was Zhu Yongxing's strategy to encroach on Annam and take it without a fight. Don't talk about any national righteousness, resist aggression, when the French colonizers gradually took control of Annam, weren't those Annamite people also willing to run to the French area! The reason is simple, the environment is more stable, life is better, and it is easier to make money.

Duan Wan'er came to the lacquerware shop set up by the clan in Anpei, and the shop was also hung with red and green colored silk, which looked very festive. She was faintly sour in her heart, and she was very envious of the barbarian woman who had received the favor of His Royal Highness Min. Although it is a acceptance, not a marriage, but after all, people are now good at the harem and have a noble status.

"Miss, you're back." Gao Chongyi walked out from behind the counter and smiled at Duan Wan'er, who was a little dazed and contemplative: "The guys are all clumsy and poorly arranged, if you don't like it, let's start again." ”

Duan Wan'er shook her head lightly, and said with a reluctant smile: "The left and right are to make a joy, and it is also to thank His Highness for his kindness, but you don't have to take it too seriously." By the way, there's nothing going on in the shop, right? ”

"There's one thing." Gao Chongyi took out ten copper coins from behind the counter and said, "This is a new style of money sent by the government, and it will start to circulate in the future, and one or two pieces of silver are equivalent to Qianwen copper coins." ”

Duan Wan'er took the copper coin and fiddled with it, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile when she saw the words on it, the front was "auspicious Ruyi", and the back was the word "Tongbao" and two small patterns.

"It's just auspicious, how can it be just the word Tongbao and no year name?" Duan Wan'er was puzzled, weighed it with her hands, and estimated the weight again.

"The money weighs one penny and two cents, and the copper and lead should be half each." Gao Chongyi said: "I talked to a few shops in the neighborhood about this, and they didn't know why the money was not minted. But this money is better than the Annam coin, and there should be no problem with circulation. I heard that this auspicious wishful thinking was written by the princess herself, and some people tied the money with a red rope to wear it for their children to wear and pray for blessings! ”

"Really?" Duan Wan'er looked and touched it, but felt that this character was not as good as herself, so she couldn't help pouting and was not convinced.

…………

The weight of the money is one and two cents, and the copper and lead are halves, which should be a very scientific proportion and weight. The most important cost of copper coins is the ratio and price of copper. and the size of the copper coin. Reduce the cost of minting money, and the price of copper coins in the commodity market will immediately drop sharply, resulting in chaos in the economic order of the commodity money market; The cost of coinage was raised, and the price of copper coins quickly increased, but the coinage bureau suffered serious losses, and the coinage business faced a serious crisis.

At present, the coinage bureau minted money, including the cost of silver, basically remained at 0.7~0.8 taels. Although the amount is not much, Zhu Yongxing also launched it when he got married, and began to issue and circulate in the market, gradually occupying the market, so as to achieve the purpose of earning the interest of coinage, and expelling and replacing other currencies.

Of course, this will be a longer-term process. In history, Wu Sangui once minted money and sold it to Annan to make money, and Zhu Yongxing naturally would not let go of this way of making money. Moreover. Unifying and standardizing the coinage system not only facilitates the circulation of money, but also establishes the authority of rules, credit and even the government.

As for why only Tongbao is printed on the back, but not the year name, it is a long-term plan of Zhu Yongxing. If the implementation and circulation of the currency went smoothly, after gaining strength, he did not have the idea of fighting a currency war with the Manchus. The words that are taboo on the copper coins are obviously beneficial in the implementation of the Manchu Dynasty.

That's it. It is inevitable that some people will doubt his intentions. Therefore, Zhu Yongxing had already written to Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, and Bai Wenxuan, the king of Zhao, in advance. I said a little bit about my thoughts. As for whether they can understand it, Zhu Yongxingren is righteous, so he can't take care of it.

Although it has not been a year, Zhu Yongxing's mentality has changed a lot, and with the help of his identity and military exploits, his prestige is above everyone. And with the idea of his own will, he is directing all the anti-Qing forces in the southwest.

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

From quantitative change to qualitative change, it is a process, sometimes long, sometimes short. It's kind of like a chemical reaction. If a catalyst is added, the reaction time can be greatly reduced.

After fighting, liaison, inducement, encouragement, coupled with the short-sighted coercion of the Manchurian generals, the anti-Qing fire in Yunnan Province was finally fully ignited by Zhu Yongxing. Historically, those who had revolted against the Qing Dynasty in Yunnan Province, or those who had not revolted against the Qing Dynasty, took advantage of the situation to help the Ming Dynasty oppose the Qing Dynasty.

The fuse was first lit in Guangnan, and Liu Zhen, the king of Qingyang, Qi Sansheng, the prince of Luguo, and Gao Qilong, who had received a large number of reinforcements, launched an offensive and suddenly besieged the county seat of Guangnan in Kaihua Prefecture. Nong's Tusi and Wang Nong Tusi (Wenshandi) Wang Shuo immediately came to the aid of the water, gathered tens of thousands of seedlings and strong soil soldiers, blocked the road, and cut off the retreat of the Qing army in Guangnan County.

More than 10,000 Ming troops used the technique of tunnel blasting to break through the county town of Guangnan in two days, annihilating more than 3,000 Qing troops, and killing Di Sanpin, the general soldier of Guangnan. Wang Yongzuo, the commander-in-chief of Fuyou Town, led dozens of his own soldiers to break through the siege, and were surrounded by the Tu Corps led by Nong Peng in Damei, and all of them were killed.

The Ming army took advantage of the victory to attack Weimo Prefecture (now Qiubei County) again, and Shen Yinglin, Shen Zhaolin, Wang Chengzu, Wang Yi, Wang Xianren, Wang Xianlun, etc., took the opportunity to rise up and led the local soldiers to attack the garrison Qing army and capture and kill the local Qing officials. The Ming army took Vimo lightly, entered the state of Ami (now Kaiyuan), and attacked Maitreya to the north. There are also if Ye Xiangyang, Ye Zhengchang, Maitreya Ang Fuzu raised troops in response, and the offensive was extremely prosperous for a time, and the southeast of Kunming was full of beacon fires.

At that time, Wu Sangui had returned to Kunming to take up the town, leaving only heavy troops in Shiping to suppress Yuanjiang. Although he somewhat expected that the Manchurian generals might cause turmoil by pressing them around, they did not expect it to come so violently and so quickly. On the one hand, he sent an order to Guizhou, urging the Qing army in Guizhou to speed up the journey and rush to Kunming as soon as possible; On the other hand, he ordered the Shiping Qing army to divide its troops to attack Mengzi in the east to contain and resist the offensive of the Ming army.

However, the seriousness of the situation greatly exceeded Wu Sangui's imagination, and as soon as the Qing army in Shiping was weakened, the command of the Southern Yunnan Theater immediately dispatched the Syrian Gong Ma Weixing to lead more than 10,000 men and horses to cross the river at the waist street in the upper reaches of the Yuan River and attack northward. Echoing and helping are Ningzhou Luchangxian, Xinxing Wang Yaozu, Xi E Luyi, Wang Yangzu and other Tusi, "tens of thousands, trapped in Ling'e, Ningzhou, Yimen, and conspired to commit the provincial capital ......".

In the southeast and southwest, the Ming army and the rebellious Tusi formed a pincer offensive against Kunming, and the Qing army in Shiping was already hidden in a strategic encirclement. Wu Sangui hurriedly issued an urgent order, ordering the Qing army that had attacked Mengzi in the east to return to Shiping immediately, and then the whole army immediately withdrew from Tonghai to Yuxi to resist the enemy army southeast of Kunming.

The Ming army launched two waves of counteroffensives in conjunction with the Tusi, and the eastern and southern Yunnan were almost completely eroded, and this was not over. The Ming army in western Yunnan also took advantage of the time to move and sent troops from Xiangyun. Attacking Nanhua and Yao'an to the east, the Qing army in Chuxiong was pinned.

“…… Prepare in advance, pick up the gaps, and move from time to time. Like an accelerant, he can make the fire of rebellion that was destined to be extinguished by the Manchus in history burn more vigorously and fiercely. Burn your enemies to the ground...... It is too negative to move from time to time, and it is more convenient to master the control. Let the fire of resistance burst out at the most appropriate time in your own plans. It will no longer be an isolated struggle, but a well-planned uprising with external assistance......"

Zhu Yongxing finally realized his strategic vision when he first entered Yunnan, and indeed gathered together the scattered anti-Qing fires in history, and added fuel to make them burst into flames and rise into flames.

……………

"Ningzhou Lu Changxian; Xinxing Wang Yaozu; Xi Eluyi, Wang Yangzu; Wang Lang, Wang Shuo; Bazhai Li Chenglin; Naropu rate; educate Zhang Changshou; Deadwood Dragon Yuanqing; If the ten Ye Xiangyang, Ye Zhengchang; Maitreya Ang's Restoration of Ancestors; Weimo Shen Yinglin, Shen Zhaolin, Wang Chengzu, Wang Yi, Wang Xianren, Wang Xianlun ......" Liu Xuanchu unhurriedly copied the name of the rebel Tusi on the information that came from all over the world on the paper. There was a voice in his mouth, "There are also Mengzi Li Risen, Li Shifan, and Li Shiping, who have already rebelled; Shiping Long Tao, Long Fei ......"

"Brother Xuanchu-" Fang Guangchen impatiently interrupted Liu Xuanchu's enumeration, and said hurriedly: "Now that the smoke is everywhere, it is time for us to share the worries of the prince, but it is not the time to list the plots to rebel against the chieftains. ”

Liu Xuanchu sighed lightly and asked rhetorically: "Xianting, the chieftains of Yunnan Province have all plotted rebellion, and the situation has been eroded to this point. What can we do? Moreover, the chieftain is in turmoil. With the Ming army's counteroffensive, the timing of the cooperation was so tacit, how could it be a temporary and hasty uprising? The prince and I have all fallen into the planning of the Ming clan and do not know it, and the defeat has been decided, so what can we do? ”

Fang Guangchen thought for a moment. Nodding helplessly, he admitted, "I don't want the plot of the pseudo-clan to be so far-reaching and insidious, I have already secretly conspired with the chiefs, and I just want to see the opportunity." The failure of Yuanjiang's attack helped the rebellion of the chieftain. Nowadays - alas. The Manchurian soldiers conscripted and violently extorted it, which added fuel to the fire and added to its momentum. After a pause, he frowned again and reminded: "Brother Xuanchu, don't say anything about the Great Ming Sect in front of people in the future, it should be called the pseudo-room." ”

Liu Xuanchu lowered his eyelids and was silent, obviously unhappy in his heart.

Fang Guangchen sighed lightly, softened his tone, and said: "Brother Xuanchu, people's words are terrifying, the Manchurian generals are still there, and there are also people who want to be lucky, so you must be on guard!" ”

Liu Xuanchu nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I understand the kindness of the court." ”

Fang Guangchen sat in the chair and thought for a long time, and asked a little unwillingly: "Is there no other way to solve the current situation?" ”

Liu Xuanchu hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "In my opinion, when the troops are withdrawn around Kunming, the strength should be stored first, and then the decision will be made." Although the situation is unfavorable, Kunming should have no worries. ”

"But why?" Fang Guangchen asked puzzledly: "How can the enemy take advantage of the victory and attack fiercely, how can they not take Kunming and achieve complete success?" ”

Liu Xuanchu shook his head lightly and analyzed: "I look at the soldiers left behind by the Ming clan, advance and retreat to a certain extent, plan far-sightedly, take advantage of the situation, and like to destroy the enemy by skill. Tengchong won, that is, he collected troops to recuperate; The expedition to Annam can also be stopped; The western part of Yunnan counterattacked, and the troops did not advance; Yuanjiang defeated the enemy, but still did not take advantage of the victory to forge ahead. I guess he wants to take advantage of Yunnan Province to contain it in order to reap long-term success. Where is Yunnan Province, the climate is warm and humid, the mountains are dense and dense, the miasma is thick, the chieftains are everywhere, it is extremely difficult to raise food and wages, the army has been trapped here for a long time, it is called for purchase every year, the generals are lost every year, the military expenses are multiplied, and the wisdom is more and more eager. ”

Fang Guangchen suddenly realized, slapped his thigh, and said: "The enemy's situation has become a pincer, and if our army hits the west, the enemy can attack from the east and south; If our army strikes the east, the enemy will be pinned down from the west and south. Kunming, the provincial capital, will have a great impact if it is lost, and it will be defended by heavy troops, and it will trap our army. Hehe, if you spend food and salary, the court will be resentful; If you don't make progress for a long time, the emperor will be suspicious. Every year, only the frost and miasma are the most suitable for soldiers when the grass sprouts, but it is only a few months. The mountains are dense and dense, and there is less use for mounted archery in field warfare. It's really insidious, it's really vicious. ”

"What if you know it's insidious and vicious?" Liu Xuanchu pursed his lips with some disdain and said, "Can you abandon Kunming?" Even if the prince agreed, how could the Manchurian generals agree? ”

Fang Guangchen blinked his eyes, and shook his head with a wry smile for a long time, "Abandon Kunming, absolutely not." Not to mention the Manchurian generals, how could the imperial court agree? Knowing that it is a trap, he can only jump down and reason again. ”

"The Ming clan stayed behind in Annan as the base, and the fake Yongli called on the inside and outside, and the defeated people have already established a foothold; The chieftains of the land are uncertain, but the profit is the trend, and the bait is heavy with the high lord, will it not rise everywhere? Liu Xuanchu exclaimed, "It's amazing, it's really hard to beat." ”

"Maybe you can delay it." Fang Guangchen thought about it and said: "When we first entered Yunnan Province, our army was scattered and garrisoned, and this weakness was also; Now the troops are gathered around the provincial capital, and the enemy occupies a very large area, and its momentum has been reversed. Well, although I don't have a good plan for the time being, I don't believe that the enemy will always be able to take advantage of it. If the weak fight with the strong, the weak will take advantage of the victory, and the strong will be conducive to wrestling; The rich sue the poor, the poor are happy to settle the matter quickly, and the rich are happy to last. ”

Liu Xuanchu opened his mouth and swallowed the words again, with contradictions and struggles in his heart, and finally he was unwilling to remind him again.
