Chapter 335: Discussing Denglai with Yuan Keli
Wang Hongyu's eyes suddenly froze: "But please witness here, Annan should belong to my Ming rule, after all, the Dutch people have been laying out in Annam recently, if the Japanese Kingdom and Annam have become a trading station for the Dutch people, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well, right?"
This sentence is what he really wants to tell them, after all, after stabilizing the southwest, especially if the Tusi of Yunnan and Guangxi are moved out and replaced by Jianjuntun, Jiaozhi and Wusizang will definitely be taken.
This is to greet them, at least to the support of the Roman side, and the neutrality of the Romans, who do not belong to the Romans or the Netherlands.
"I've also heard these news, and I, Jinnige, support the plans of Dingyuan Marquis and Daming."
"We support it, too."
Kinney Court was the plenipotentiary envoy of the Pope, and the rest of the people were also the most powerful people in the East in several European countries.
Wang Hongyu let them see that he controlled the southwest, and the imperial court gave the positions of marquis, economic strategy, and admiral, and just threw out Guangdong and Guangxi to open a trading station to expand the scale of trade and escort and supply fleets.
It's to pave the way for this.
Sure enough, the strength and benefits of the front made them agree.
This also means that from the east of Annam, the main trading fleets and trade planning are under their own control.
The Netherlands, which entered capitalism, and England, which belatedly entered East Asia, were the two real opponents that posed a threat to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and they were squeezed out of the bulk of East Asian trade early.
"There is also the Southwest United School, since it is called the United School, it must be a combination of many schools. In addition to the subordinate schools of Yunshan Academy, Nangao Academy, Longchang Wangxue, Chongqing and Chengdu, there is also a major component of the project, which will be placed in Kunming, Yunnan Province."
Southwest United School does not have a main campus in Kunming, so it is called a strange thing.
It dawned on a few missionaries that it was no wonder that they were to be brought here this time, because there were so many big things.
This is all good news, and in the future, whether it is joint academic exploration, exchanges between the East and the West, economic and political exchanges, and even more cooperation and alliances, it will be promoted by people.
Obviously, the people who lead these will not be those scholars who are humble on the surface and actually lonely, but the talents who came out of Wang Hongyu and the Southwest United School.
Jinnige was very excited, Wang Hongyu told him that the achievements achieved by cooperating with him would definitely surpass Ricci.
It has only been two years now, and everything from legal status, trade and book translation, academic and technical exchanges, has reached a level that was unimaginable in the past.
Looking at the handsome and dashing young marquis in front of him, even if his wise eyes were like Gandalf and Dumbledore, he had to admire, the real wise was Wang Hongyu.
This time, Wang Hongyu went to Yunnan to inspect and specially went to Qujing to meet Yuan Keli. He knew that in his previous life, Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he had done a remarkable job as the governor of Denglai for three years.
He valued Yuan Keli's strategic vision and military talents, especially his organizational skills. Wang Hongyu used a step-by-step method to guide Yuan Keli's views and handling plans for the war in Liaodong.
In the early spring of this year, there were frequent battles in Liaodong, and Shenyang and Liaoyang were lost one after another, and the Ming army needed to rearrange and counterattack.
Wang Hongyu knew that Yuan Keli was the pioneer of the Denglai Front.
Beat Jiannu, caused them great trouble, and made the Manchu Qing Dynasty target outstanding figures in the history books.
After Wang Hongyu met Yuan Keli, the topic talked about the current Denglai governor Tao Langxian had just been dismissed for corruption, Liaodong Jinglu Yuan Yingtai was missing, and Xiong Tingbi Jinglu was vacated by Governor Wang Huazhen, and the situation was not optimistic.
"The Emperor of the Apocalypse is also worried day and night, if Governor Yuan is allowed to take over as the governor of Denglai, the governor of Denglai and other places will prepare troops for coastal defense and praise the military affairs of the eastern expedition. What does Mr. Lai Hing plan to do?" Wang Hongyu went straight in.
Yuan Keli pondered for a moment and replied: "Sitting in Denglai, creating the Dongjiang River, vigorously fighting troops and horses, training troops with Qi Jiguang's method of "naval army first learning land warfare", accumulating hundreds of warships, forming a naval division of more than 450,000 people, and Liaodong Jingluo, governor, Tianjin governor Li Banghua and other efforts to deal with Liaoxi."
It's a very good strategy, and it's what he has used historically.
He continued, "Plan with determination, clean up military discipline, train sailors, and build warships. The addition of forts along the coast formed a horn trend of "a hundred miles of chess, and a full foot of the beacon", ensuring the safety of the coastal territory of the Ming Dynasty, and greatly containing and weakening the combat effectiveness of the Later Jin against the western part of the Ming Dynasty."
"The former governor of Denglai, Tao Langxian, was completely abolished, and nearly half of the soldiers in the Denglai battalion were empty, and the land of the guards was swallowed up by the generals of the past dynasties. Denglai is in ruins, how to implement the specific steps?" Wang Hongyu asked directly.
Yuan Keli was confident: "Of course, we need to investigate and study how to do it, but on the whole, the coast of Denglai is a natural harbor, repair the port wharf, set up dual-use warships to escort and do business, and fight piracy. If the maritime trade routes are reopened, merchants from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and northern China will gather in Denglai and Tianjin.
Denglai coastal land is flat, digging wells, digging canals, introducing river water for irrigation, and relocating a large number of Liaodong immigrants as a base for the recovery of Liaodong. Expand the land and build the city, recruit and settle a large number of refugees, garrison the islands, and advance the sea defense step by step, and Nurhachi will also curl up on the spot without peeping to the west."
Wang Hongyu added: "If merchants from Nanyang and Europa are allowed to enter Hong Kong to do business; Korea and the Japanese kingdom were close at hand, and trade was carried out in an orderly manner, avoiding smuggling. In that way, the commercial tax and customs duties of Denglai and Tianjin will increase several times compared with the total revenue of previous years."
Wang Hongyu thought of the historical record: Nurhachi persuaded Mao Wenlong to surrender but it was useless, and he couldn't fight it, so Houjin was fixed on that one-third of an acre of land, without any development.
On the other hand, Yuan Keli's side is developing with each passing day, and sooner or later, Houjin will be completely eliminated.
In addition to fighting steadily, Yuan Keli also constantly rebelled against the civil and military ministers of Houjin, and the most famous of them was Nurhachi's son-in-law Liu Aita, that is, Liu Xingzuo.
Yuan Keli's strategic advance of "single-mindedly governing the army, blocking key points, burning and stealing grain, contacting the islands, and recovering Lushun" successfully countered Liu Xingzuo, who was angry at Nurhachi's massacre of Han people.
He commanded Mao Wenlong to launch an attack from the sea and recovered the coastal areas of southern Liaoning, "counting more than a thousand miles of land", and also surrendered Liu Xingzuo, the general of the Jin Dynasty after surrendering.
For a time, the Later Jin Dynasty "emptied three of the four guards, and the land of more than 400 miles along the coast was abandoned and did not dare to take it", and the Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to recover a large area of lost territory, and the war situation was very good.
Because Yuan Keli was upright, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was repeatedly demoted and abandoned at home at the most critical time of the Liao War.
What happened later led to the complete collapse of the Denglai Defense Line created by Yuan Keli, and the exhausted Yuan Keli died in Suizhou, so to speak, Yuan Keli was angry to death.
