From the perspective of theory and practice, Zhu Yongxing only stayed at the theoretical stage of active defense, and most of the examples that can be used as a reference are the Red Army's anti-encirclement and suppression, the War of Resistance against Japan, and the Civil War. However, the composition of the army is different, the quality is different, and the weapons are different, and Zhu Yongxing does not dare to use them indiscriminately. Therefore, the orders he gave to the headquarters of the various theaters were relatively simple, that is, they should follow Wu Zixu's tired and misguided plan to attack and harass the Qing army in front of them.

In this way, the command is easy to understand and easy to execute. In addition, the training teams have already gone to various theaters, and in addition to training junior officers in rotation, they will also bring some new changes to the tactics of the Ming army, and they will also popularize the use of mines as a weapon. In particular, in the southeastern Yunnan Theater, Zhu Yongxing tilted the mines made by the arsenal to make them more able to resist the Qing army's attack.

At the same time, Zhu Yongxing also sent letters to the Southern Yunnan Theater and the Western Yunnan Theater, asking them to dispatch troops and generals to strengthen the strength of Chuxiong to the west and south, so as to wait for the opportunity. It didn't matter whether or not Chuxiong could be captured, but it couldn't relax the pressure and let the Qing army calmly mobilize its forces.

The situation in Yunnan Province is surging, and both sides are stocking up on our troops, accumulating supplies, and preparing for a new round of competition. After the rapid occupation of Siming Prefecture (Chongzuo), the Ming army did not directly attack Nanning in the east, but expanded to the north, and successively occupied Shangshixizhou, Xiashixizhou, Longzhou, and Taipingzhou, which bordered Annam and Guangxi, showing a situation of wanting to unite with the southeastern Yunnan theater.

…………

On the wall of the intersection of Jinlong Town, an eye-catching notice was pasted: ...... All the people of Yihan. I regard them as the people of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to treat them with good governance, and I want them not to be humiliated and poor...... Today, the king of the Ming Dynasty wants to relieve the people from fire and water, and the east and west are like a bamboo, and now he has come to Guangxi...... Respect the customs of the Yi people, the discipline is very strict, and do not move a single mile; Grain is bought and sold fairly, and the price is fully delivered. All the people of Wuyi, do not be suspicious and cower. Actively enlisted in the army and helped. Destroy the Tartars and drive out tyranny in order to share a life of peace and happiness. I hope to make efforts to spread the word about this broadcast. The Ming court stayed behind to guard the prince of Min, Zhu! ”

Ming soldiers of several different nationalities stood under the poster. Take turns preaching aloud in different languages. It attracted more and more people.

The proclamation was made by Zhu Yongxing himself. It's more popular, and there are no more of those. It was originally for the common people to listen to, and it made it crepe. It's hard to read, it doesn't sound like it's incomprehensible, it's almost like nothing.

Among the crowd were Han, Miao, Gu, Yao and other ethnic groups, as well as Yi people with bare feet and cloaks woven of wool.

"Drive out the Tartars, long live the emperor." Several Ming soldiers finally finished reading the proclamation and raised their arms and shouted, but the audience below did not respond, and their eyes were full of confusion and curiosity.

"As long as you can shout these two words, you will have a salt tael or two. Those who joined the army and enlisted in the army were given five catties of salt and ten acres of land for each family. The soldiers of the Ming army did not care, this situation had been encountered many times, and not all of them had changed after the worst.

Hearing the word salt, there was a commotion in the crowd, although it was not much, but the key was to take it for nothing! It's like selling something to give away, no matter what it is, don't take it for nothing. When you enlist in the army, you have five catties of salt and ten acres of land!

"Drive out the Tartars, long live the emperor." Several Ming soldiers shouted again, and then agitated again, pointing, not far away, bamboo sheds had already been erected, truckloads of salt were piled up, and a row of Ming troops was ready to be distributed.

Two young men in tattered clothes ran out of the crowd, came to the shed, pretended to ask questions, shouted slogans, and then each held a small bag of salt, muttered happily for a moment, and ran to the recruiting office.

It's so simple, under the power of the example, the people who are still hesitating rushed over, and immediately the shouts of the south and the north sounded, "Drive out the Tartars, long live the emperor."

Five catties of salt and twenty acres of land, this is a very attractive condition, for the poor people, that is one person to be a soldier, the whole family is not hungry. The area at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou, where there are many ethnic minorities, is also a poor area, and it has not changed in modern times, let alone at this time.

Of course, it's not so easy to get these benefits. When you become a soldier, you have to fight bravely, and if you run away in fear, your family will also be punished. Zhu Yongxing's intention is also very clear, to give you land to live well, and at the same time to tie your interests to the land, and link your family and relatives with your performance in the army.

First divide the land of the rebel officials, and then divide the official land, which is not enough to be transferred in Annam, and can also be turned into salt and bought from the hands of the soil and earth houses that are currently retained. Zhu Yongxing calculated that the number of troops stipulated for the Guangxi Theater was 30,000, and the supply was still guaranteed with the payment of land and salt, plus the copper coins minted.

"Oye wants to be a guest." A Yi man squeezed up and said in a strange tone.

This Yi man was tall and big, with a black cloth wrapped around his head, shirtless, barefoot, only surrounded by a piece of linen, and his complexion was dark.

A Yi Ming soldier immediately stepped up and acted as an interpreter, asking and answering questions, and then relaying them to the clerk next to him.

Habu, male, 22 years old, Yi nationality, 6 feet tall, has a wife, 2 sons and 1 daughter...... The clerk brushed through the notes, but was interrupted by a commotion.

There are several large iron rods of more than 50 catties placed next to the recruitment point, which are considered to be physical examination equipment, as long as they can be lifted three times, they are qualified, simple and fast. A strong man not only lifted, but also wielded freely, causing cheers from onlookers.

Seeing that the clerk looked away, Habu could not help frowning, snorted dissatisfiedly, strode away, grabbed an iron rod, and danced more freely than the strong man. After dancing for a while, Fang Fang stood still with the stick, his face was not red, and he was not panting, which immediately aroused even greater applause.

"Strong body, great strength......," the clerk smiled, finished writing, picked up the number plate and beckoned to Habu.

Habu threw the iron rod, walked over quickly, took the number plate, and said, "Field, two, twenty acres, harmful, salt, Wu tight." ”

The clerk was amused by the strange tone. called the Ming army of the Yi nationality to explain clearly to this reckless man, and beckoned to the next one.

On the other side, there are also crowds of people in front of the shed where salt is exchanged for grain, and there are even Dong women with Dong brocade on their heads and carrying a burden, which walks like flowing water.

Although the family is poor, eating bran can cope with the past, but this good thing of exchanging salt for food cannot be caught up at any time. Therefore, many people have the idea of taking out as much food as possible at home in exchange for cheap salt.

"I've got another local official." Zhao Xianwu, the governor of Longzhou, just sent away the Tusi surnamed Huang. Turn around and go back to the house. I couldn't help but sneer.

If you take it first, you must give it first. Temporarily dispersing the monopoly of salt to the local toast is a trick of Zhu Yongxing. On the surface, it seems to be a trap and trust, but it is a foreshadowing for future disposal. If the toast is lustful. Mixed with soil and sand. Raise the price. The offended local people, when the people's anger accumulates to a certain extent, it is time for the government to come forward and punish the evil and promote the good. Then. Toast lost the hearts of the people, and how many henchmen were willing to work hard for it?

Moreover, this salt monopoly was not given for free, and the Tusi had to give up his personal attachment to the natives who joined the army and make them free people. In other words, Toast makes money, but loses the amount of power. This is similar to the measures taken by Zhu Yongxing in Yunnan Province by using land as bait.

"Your Highness is wise and perceptive."

Zhao Xianwu praised it in his heart, and secretly calculated that conscripting 3,000 soldiers should not be a problem in his own state, and after completing the tasks of the military, he could focus on restoring the people's livelihood and being a good official in order to be promoted. He is just a talent, but he is trusted by His Royal Highness, why do you rely on it? It's just that he judges the situation by himself, takes His Royal Highness as the leader, lets him learn when he learns, and implements various policies diligently and without discounting.

Your Highness has the heart to cheer up and eliminate cheating, but it is the time for me to wait for a new advancement! Zhao Xianwu sighed with emotion, if he was according to the old system of the imperial court, he would be nothing, but because of Zhu Yongxing, his life has changed fundamentally.

"Your Excellency." Zhao Xianwu was thinking about it, when an entourage came in and reported, "Tuguan Cen Ze has come to pay a visit." ”

Zhao Xianwu put away his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the door, with a smile on his face again.

……………

Siming Prefecture (Chongzuo), Guangxi Theater Command.

Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, paced in front of the map, looking at it carefully, and from time to time stretched out his finger to measure the distance.

At present, the plan to advance into Guangxi is going very smoothly, and although he cannot let go of his actions and take Nanning directly, or attack southward, this is a decision that is subordinate to the overall situation, and he agrees with this.

“…… For the time being, if you don't storm and take the important town of Guangxi, the Qing army in Guangxi will be paralyzed, and if the situation is relaxed, there will be infighting, and if the situation is urgent, you will unite, so let's not give Sun Yanling and Ma Xiong this opportunity first. It is only to threaten Nanning from afar, and to develop first on the edge of the three borders of Yunnan, Guizhou and Annan, gain a firm foothold, and then try to make a big move. It was Ma Xiong from Liuzhou who could support Nanning nearby, but he may not have come out of the nest at the beginning, because there was Guilin Sun Yanling behind him. If Sun Yanling takes advantage of the situation and Sun Yanling occupies Liuzhou, Ma Xiong will lose ground in Guixi, and he will only be forced to have no choice but to fight us to the death, which is obviously not the result he wants......"

For Zhu Yongxing's analysis, Ma Bao deeply agreed. According to Zhu Yongxing's empathy, he also felt that if he was Ma Xiong, whether and how many troops to send would also be a very perplexing question. Send troops, it is likely that you will lose your troops, and you will not be able to compete with Sun Yanling in the future; If you don't send troops, who should bear the responsibility for this loss of land? There are many soldiers, and they are worried that Liuzhou will be swallowed by Sun Yanling; With few troops, I am afraid that the problem will not be solved.

Give me some time, half a year will be enough. Ma Bao also hopes to delay some time, as long as he can have 30,000 horses, he can show his strength. He knew that Zhu Yongxing was able to pull out 10,000 troops to him and try his best to ensure supplies, which was already the current limit. To develop and grow, we must rely on ourselves and rely on our own hard work and accumulation in Guangxi.

Judging from the current situation, the two weapons of Tian Di and Yan Ba are effective, and according to the latest statistics, more than 3,000 new recruits have already joined the army. At this rate, it will not take half a year, 30,000 soldiers and horses are not a problem, and even the training time may be included.

But this is only an assumption, and various other contingencies have not been taken into account. There are not only variables in Guangxi, but also in Yunnan Province and Annan, where the general situation affects the microclimate, and the situation in the southwest to resist the Qing Dynasty has become one. For example, now, the Qing army in Yunnan Province seems to have moved, and Zhu Yongxing wrote a letter to tell him in detail. At the same time, friendly forces in southeastern Yunnan marched eastward into Guangxi. The plan to meet with the teacher had to be postponed.

No, Ma Bao doesn't think this plan can be delayed. The Ming army in southeastern Yunnan is preparing for war, but on the Guangxi side, if he leads the army to continue to attack and plunder to the northwest, he can also achieve the purpose of meeting the division. At that time, the two theaters of operation will be united, and with the support of the Annam base in the back, the army will be able to use it in a mobile manner, and there will be no need to unilaterally rely on expanding training to increase its strength.

The plan was decided, and Ma Bao shifted his gaze to the map. Fingers are drawn from Longzhou. Anping Prefecture, Sicheng Prefecture, and Guishun Prefecture were connected with Funing County in southeast Yunnan. Sweeping away the three states is not necessarily an impossible task. And he does not need to send troops to southeast Yunnan to cooperate, and he can complete the predetermined plan alone. Undoubtedly, it is another great achievement.

"Lord Wang." A guard came in to report. "The third squadron of the teaching has arrived. A convoy of weapons was also escorted. ”

"Just in time."

Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, smiled, the recruits were replenished too quickly, and most of them were ethnic minorities. Language is a problem, and only some ethnic veterans recruited in Yunnan can be promoted by surprise, and their quality is obviously insufficient. The Third Teaching Squadron was sent by His Royal Highness Min, which just solved this difficulty, and enabled these junior officers to be trained and improved in rotation.

In this way, the use of troops to the northwest and the opening up of ties with the southeast of Yunnan have given us more certainty. Ma Bao was happy in his heart, stepped out, and personally greeted the arrival of the teaching team.

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The room was quiet, but Yang Yandi didn't feel that his heart was calm and cold, he knelt on the ground, sweat beads began to appear on his forehead, and his back became damp, and he felt that a gaze was shooting at him like a sword. But Zhu Yongxing, who was sitting on it, still didn't say a word, and didn't even move.

The imposing image must be authoritative, and it must make the other party feel condescending, so that he has a sense of fear before he speaks. Zhu Yongxing was not a criminal investigator or an interrogation expert in later generations, and his profession was more alternative and frivolous, which was in China at that time. Psychology is quite popular in foreign countries, but it is not taken seriously in China.

But Zhu Yongxing did not abandon his studies because of this, even if his later work was not very satisfactory, even if he also liked to travel around. Later, the popularity of "Mind Reading" made him interested in micro-expressions and read a lot of Chinese and foreign books on this subject. Of course, he is not so powerful, he can easily see through the people and things happening around him, investigate the truth of a person, and gain insight into the hidden mysteries in the hearts of others, but he is better at observing than ordinary people, and is better at identifying his personality from his posture, inferring his cultivation from conversation, observing his scheming from habits, and gaining insight into the level of temperament from subtleties, so as to touch the psychology of others.

This kind of invisible coercion was deliberately done by Zhu Yongxing. If you don't give Yang Yandi a dismount, wouldn't he be despised by him, and how could he be subdued.

Zhu Yongxing already knew that Yang Yandi would arrive in Mengzi today, so he hid out of the city early, and first dried Yang Yandi for a long time, and then put on his armor and appeared angrily with his personal guards' fresh clothes, so as to take the lead and win people's effect. Now, it's the second step, silent coercion and subjugation.

With the rise of prestige, as well as the reverence and respect of his subordinates after several victories, Zhu Yongxing unconsciously had the majesty of a superior. There is also the imperial court staying, the identity of the royal clan, and it is on Zhu Yongxing's one-acre and three-point land, Yang Yandi is just an ordinary general, and the power of life and death is all in Zhu Yongxing's hands. After some arrangement, how could Yang Yandi not tremble and sweat like pulp.

"In February of the seventh year of Yongli, Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, led his troops from Guangxi, went out of Guangdong, and arrived at the city of Zhaoqing." Zhu Yongxing's voice sounded low and powerful in the room, "Previously, the King of Jin had sent a secret envoy to King Yanping to send troops to attack from east to west, making it difficult for the Qing army in Guangzhou to take care of both sides, and it was quite certain to recover the whole of Guangdong. However, after besieging the city for several months, reinforcements did not arrive, and the Qing army had gathered, so they could only retreat gloomily. ”

Yang Yandi's heart was shocked, and he quickly bowed down to Lu Xia and continued to listen.

"In February of the eighth year of Yongli, the king of Jin led tens of thousands of troops, from Liuzhou, Guangxi, and then took Guangdong. The king of Jin was heroic and powerful, and he was like a bamboo, until the city of Xinhui. However, the Battle of Xinhui lasted for half a year from June to December, but not a single ship or soldier came to help, and finally failed and returned in a disastrous defeat. ”

Zhu Yongxing was silent again, the beads of sweat on Yang Yandi's forehead fell to the ground, but he didn't dare to raise his head or speak.

"Conquering Guangdong is the overall situation, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili (referring to Jiangsu and Anhui) can be like a bamboo, and ZTE is expected from now on." Zhu Yongxing spoke up again, and his tone had become angry, "Why did the Qing army go south on three routes, the situation was as dangerous as an egg, the holy car patrolled Burma, and the southwest fell into overturned?" ”

Syllable! Zhu Yongxing slapped the table case, he was angry, the sound of his boots was loud, and he had already hurried away in front of Yang Yandi, he was acting, but he was really angry. Under the good situation, he was mistaken by personal selfishness, and his achievements fell short, with tens of thousands of corpses and rivers of blood.

Infighting, splitting, gangs and factions, fighting for their own ...... Nanming was not destroyed by foreign enemies, but by himself, by those selfish generals and officials.

"Who am I?" Zhu Yongxing suddenly said self-deprecatingly: "A side clansman, fortunately left behind by the imperial court, is young and has no prestige, how can he easily order you and other heroes on the sea?" Hehe, General Yang, please get up, I don't know what to do, and I misunderstand people's hearts. General Yang didn't hear the order, so he made me know how many catties and taels he had, how could he de, it was really a great achievement! ”
