It's just that, as Mengzhu said, relying on the current troops, it is obvious that the desired goal cannot be achieved. Daniel Zhang, a famous general in the early Qing Dynasty, has both wisdom and bravery; The Qing army was elite and very strong. Although Zhu Yongxing desperately wants to achieve a big victory to boost the morale of the depressed people, he will inevitably have doubts when he wants to play against famous generals.

Even if he is a traverser, even if he is full of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign war examples, Zhu Yongxing has no practical experience in fighting in battle formations after all, and he has to pay a price for underestimating the ancients.

Let's wait a little longer, see how many Ming troops I can gather, and combine it with the more accurate situation of Yongchang that Zheng Yanbei's people have spied on, and then make a final choice.

Zhu Yongxing sighed lightly, put aside this tempting idea for the time being, and carefully recalled the conversation with Zheng Yanbei to see if there were any omissions in it. Liaise and convene the remnants of the Ming army, recruit craftsmen and miners, search for gunpowder and related raw materials, collect grain and grass materials, and spy on the intelligence of the Qing army in various places......

The basic ones that can be thought of have been arranged, and the effect is only tested with time. Moreover, whether the Zheng family has such ability and whether it has enough manpower is also difficult to determine now.

The candle flame is flickering, the night is quiet, Zhu Yongxing is worried and happy, and his thoughts are thousands. Although he took the first step to success, when he was about to face the Qing army, Zhu Yongxing, who was not familiar with the battle array, would inevitably suffer from gains and losses, and he would inevitably be suspicious.

I can't think about it anymore, and if I continue to think about it, Yali will be so big that I will break my nerves. Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly and shook his head, what should be trusted is still trusted, this is forced to help. What should be faced must always be faced, this is the arrangement of fate.

……………

Stationed at Tongtieguan for two days, after the follow-up clansmen led by Yang arrived, Zhu Yongxing led the leader to continue to move forward, and entered the territory of Zhanda in only one day.

Zhanda is now in Yingjiang County, when it was under the rule of Ganya Xuanfu Division, and Tusi was hereditary by the Dai Dao clan. I heard that the Ming clan led the army into the country, and the current Tusi knife Bailong came to greet him, and the number of courtesies was very respectful.

In this regard, Zhu Yongxing was not surprised. Whether it was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, or forced by military might, or hatred of the Qing army, these reasons do not matter, the important thing is that there are very few Tusi who fought against the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history. However, Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and other remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty were able to hold out for several years in the remote areas of Yunnan, and it was absolutely impossible to do without the support and supply of grain, straw and materials from local powerful factions such as Tusi, village owners, and Touren.

Moreover, Zhu Yongxing had already learned from Zheng Yanbei's mouth about the corruption of military discipline in the Qing army and the atrocities in Yunnan, "Where the car goes, the fox and rabbit do not exist, and everywhere they go, they ask for women, sing and drink, and the people hate it."

And in history, even Hong Chengchou used the pen method of headless paper to depict the criminal atrocities concocted by the Qing army," ...... Everywhere there is no fire, no one is free from plunder. In addition, the men and women were all taken captive, resulting in the separation of military and civilian parents, brothers, husbands and wives, and children, which was unspeakably miserable. The old, weak, and crippled were arrested, hanged, tortured, burned, extorted from the cellar grain and silver, the premises were turned over, and the houses were burned and demolished, so that people had no clothes, no complete skin, no whole mouth, and robbed the heavens and the earth, and there was no way to complain ......"

“…… It is even more tragic in the Yongchang area, where the dead and tortured are piled up on the roads, and there are no people for hundreds of miles around. really made Jia Sheng unable to cry bitterly, and Zheng Tu couldn't paint it all. I don't know why the people of Yunnan are like this, and they are ......"

poisoning places, robbing, killing, and plundering, this is digging one's own grave; The evil is clear, and the way of heaven is good, and I will definitely punish the traitor and eliminate the evil. Zhu Yongxing's determination is even stronger, and the belated justice is unjust, so that those executioners who have done many evils can enjoy their lives, but they are really blind to the gods, and the sky is dead. And this mission of doing the right thing for heaven should undoubtedly be borne by him, so that he can live up to it.

"Your Highness." Seeing that Zhu Yongxing had declined his request for a singing and dancing banquet, Tusi Dao Bailong looked a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a long time, he still spoke out of his mouth, "Since the Qing army entered Yunnan and ravaged the place, the people have been miserable, and there are many refugees. However, the nationalities are different and the customs are different, and although Ben Xuanfu tried his best to settle down, there were still constant conflicts......"

Understood, Zhu Yongxing bowed slightly, this is the contradiction between the aborigines and outsiders, Dao Bailong hopes to solve it by himself, it can be seen that most of these foreign refugees should be Han Chinese. If they don't care about it, these people will either merge with the locals, blend in, or flee to other countries. For example, in later generations, the Kokang in Myanmar and the Han people in the Wa area all claimed to be their ancestral home in Nanjing; Many even migrated to Cochin, Siam and other countries and became remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

Dao Bailong saw that Zhu Yongxing was still groaning, so he threw out another tempting reason, "Among the refugees from Yongchang Mansion and Tengyue Prefecture, there are quite a few people with outstanding military strength, and the respect of His Royal Highness's clan has the name of staying behind. ”

This guy is afraid that he has suffered hardships, so he is anxious to control these refugees himself, or take them away to suit his heart. Zhu Yongxing turned to Zheng Yanbei beside him noncommittally, and asked politely: "Yi Changshi, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”

Originally, Changshi, as the largest official position of the Ming Dynasty's royal palace, should generally be designated by the emperor himself, which is somewhat similar to the protection of the princes of the feudal kings, and the princes are not allowed to take over on their own. But in the current situation, it is obviously impossible to follow the rules. What's more, Zhu Yongxing even dared to forge the holy decree, and even the prince and the prince dared to seal the decree, what is a long history.

And this long history should be for Zheng Yanbei, but Zheng Yanbei politely refused on the grounds of old age and frailty, but recommended a middle-aged man named Yi Cheng. Zhu Yongxing doesn't know much about Yi Cheng, but he can be relied on by Zheng Yanbei, even if he represents the Zheng family, it is also the right thing to give him some face.

Yi Cheng hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Yongchang was originally a wild place, and since the Ming Dynasty, there have been many criminals who have been assigned to fill the army, and most of the immigrants who entered Yongchang after Yongle were because of the garrison; Tengyue, the extreme border, has always been martial and strong. ”

Is it respectful to oneself to only give reasons but not answer them positively? Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said, "Since it is available, I will go-"

"Your Highness's golden body, how can you work easily." Yi Cheng hurriedly stopped and said, "It's just some small people who have fled, Your Highness only needs to send a messenger to recruit them." ”

Zhu Yongxing pondered for a moment and nodded, it seems that he has not fully adapted to his current identity and mastered the ancient methods of doing things. At this time, people pay attention to the status hierarchy, thinking that it is a matter of course, and being too approachable will be counterproductive.

Seeing that the problem was expected to be solved, Dao Bailong was happy in his heart, arranged the station of Zhu Yongxing and the people he led, and sent wine and meat to show his obedience.
