Chapter 576: The Heart of the Cochines
Rain.
The army led by Zhu Neng could not move an inch on the muddy ground.
The transportation of grain and grass in the rear was even more difficult.
The rebellion in the southern provinces, which flourished like wildfire, stunned the northern part of Cochin.
Zhu Neng reluctantly stopped the march and set up a camp in the wild.
As a result, the rain fell intermittently for half a month.
Not to mention driving, you can't walk.
After the rain, there are swarms of mosquitoes, you can carry people away, the soldiers of the Ming army are sweltering, but no one dares to open the tent, as long as a few breaths of time, countless mosquitoes will fly into the tent, making people miserable, compared to the heat, they still chose the latter.
The soldiers, barearmed, sweaty and sweaty, fanned themselves with everything.
And the room is even harder.
Not only did they have to cook for the whole army, but they also had to provide cold white tea and herbal tea, and many people fell ill in a row, and what made people even more anxious was the supplies.
The rebels did not have much supplies and could only sustain themselves.
And the surrounding people did not have much surplus food, and the army could not plunder.
"Anyway, there are few Chinese."
The Lao military and civilian consolation envoy next door sent 500 native soldiers, the Ming regained Jiaozhi, shocked the surrounding areas, as the Ming consolation envoy of the knife line, in order to show their respect, took the initiative to send an envoy to contact Zhu Di, to send troops to fight for the Ming Dynasty.
The knife line is a transliteration.
And the name of the father and son is not a transliteration.
The leader of the Lao native soldiers is called Dao Tu Li, which is also a transliteration.
Daotu spoke unskilled Chinese and needed an interpreter to help translate, "The non-Chinese people in the south of Jiaozhi are all supporters of the rebels, and they can also eliminate the support that the rebels have received by scavenging supplies from them. ”
Zhu Neng refused.
Although there is a large non-Chinese population in the southern part of Cochin, there is also a Chinese population.
The army was in the wilderness, and it was impossible to distinguish it clearly.
There is a specialization in technology.
The post-war governance and liquidation were the responsibility of the officials.
The stability in the northern part of Cochin, and the rebellion in the southern part of Cochin, made Zhu Neng better understand the psychology of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, this is the reality, and the reality teaches people a lesson, which is far more shocking than the truth that is spoken orally.
Daming can be said to be laborious in Jiaozhi, digging out the liver and lungs.
As a result.
The non-Chinese people of Jiaozhi did not appreciate it.
Ever.
In history, the war of the Ming Dynasty to recover Jiaozhi can be described as the most benevolent war at home and abroad in ancient times, not only did not absorb, but transported a large number of materials, and the rebellion in the south of Jiaozhi proved everything.
Fear of power but not virtue.
The truth can only be explained to people who are on the same page.
On the basis of both, Zhu Neng profoundly adhered to Zhu Gaochi's strategy.
The resistance forces must be annihilated to the end, and the warmth of spring will be given to one's own people.
In order not to injure his own people by mistake and liquidate the work of the opposition forces in the south of Jiaozhi, Zhu Neng did not change his plan because of the trouble he encountered now.
Dao Turi was sullen when he returned.
The interpreter asked curiously.
"I look at the imperial court and treat the Han people too benevolently, and I am not a Han person, I am really envious."
Dao Turi explained.
"Haha."
The interpreter was sent by Zhu Di and knew a lot of dialects in Southeast Asia.
"Although you are not Han, you are a Ming."
"Huh?"
"You are the commander of my Ming Lao Propaganda Division, and you are the military general of my Ming Dynasty, it's too late for others to envy you, why should you envy others."
"And my Chinese civilization, in addition to blood inheritance, but also cultural inheritance. There are Mongols, Jurchens, Koreans, and Semu people in the country, who are officials, generals, businessmen, and even nobles. ”
The interpreter introduced them one by one.
There were not many Mongolian nobles in the Ming Dynasty, and even when Chongzhen died, there were still many Mongolian nobles in the capital.
"If you think you are Chinese, then you are Chinese, and only if you do not think you are Chinese, you will have trouble." The interpreter pointed out.
Daotu's concern is because he does not think of himself as a Chinese.
The interpreter is very clear.
Although Laos is the propaganda department of the Ming Dynasty, Laos is too far away, and it is different from Jiaozhi in terms of culture and blood.
The knife diagram suddenly realized.
He is the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and he has a place of origin, and the court is personally sealed.
The eldest brother heard that Da Ming was amazing, so he sent himself, but he looked at it, and Da Ming was really powerful.
In such a climate and environment, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can still maintain their combat effectiveness, on the other hand, the sons and daughters they brought have long been demoralized, and they don't know, they still think that the Ming army is a native soldier, and they can adapt to the local climate better than them.
The abundance of mosquitoes and the unbearable climate made the injury rate of the Ming army begin to increase.
The rainy period improved.
A lot of doctors were sent from Jiaozhou, and there were also a lot of medicines.
"It's the time of day."
Zhu Neng sighed helplessly.
The rainy period and the heat illness in the army caused him to rest and recuperate in the army now, giving the rebels a chance to breathe, and now reducing non-combat casualties is the most important thing, and the death rate must not be higher than the casualty rate.
The rebels had the city in their hands and took advantage of this time without stopping.
Deng Xi and Ruan Jingzhen, the rebels who controlled the army, did not clash with Chen Jianding, and each was responsible for his own army, collecting ships, strengthening the rivers and natural dangers, and setting the goal of depleting the Ming army.
It's not a pleasant season these days.
Holding out until the retreat of the Ming army would buy them a few months before autumn arrived.
Chen Jianding and Chen Jikuo's army relied on the advantage of fighting on the river and sea, they cut down wood and built boats on the spot, Chen Jikuo led the army to fix the opposite bank of the beach, and Ruan Shimei led an army of 20,000 people to set up a fence on the other side of the Ludu River, lined up more than 600 ships, and used tree stumps as cover in the southeast.
Deng Rong led a large army to hold on to Xianzi Pass. A military line of defense based on natural geography was formed.
A month of time.
At this time.
The Chinese people in the north moved.
The supply team was difficult to transport in the field, the wheels fell into the mud, even the horses were difficult to pull out, people turned on their backs, and the nearby Chinese people heard about it, and they took the initiative to come to help, and the hearts of the people moved together.
After a long period of rain soaking and not repaired on the road.
The huge amount of materials needed by tens of thousands of troops was smoothly transported to the front line in an atmosphere of unity and courage in the rear.
There were no worries, and the injuries and illnesses of the army were recovered.
There are also fewer mosquitoes.
Zhu Neng launched a plan for the Great War.
Taking advantage of the strong northwest wind, the pro-governor Chen Xu and Zhu Guang led the boats to march together, fired artillery shots, defeated the rebel boats, beheaded the first 3,000 enemy troops, drowned more than 200 people, and captured more than 400 enemy boats.
Nguyen Thi Nhat was completely defeated, and the defense line of the Jiaozhi rebels also showed holes.
Zhu Neng ordered Mu Sheng to lead the native soldiers of Yunnan and Laos to take the opportunity to attack Xianzi Pass, Xianzi Pass was already panicked, for fear of being surrounded, and it was difficult to hold the lone army, Deng Rong actually collapsed without a fight, and the Ming army easily took Xianzi Pass.
At this time.
Ruan Jingyi of the Jiangnan camp saw that the situation was not good, and he abandoned the camp and fled.
Nearly 10,000 Jiaozhi rebels dispersed in a hurry.
The military strength in the southern part of the entire river was completely emptied, and Qinghua Prefecture, Aizhou and other prefectures and counties were recaptured by the Ming army, and the rebels' lair, the capital of the original Li thief father and son, Qinghua Fucheng, once again opened the city gate to welcome the arrival of the Ming army.
Zhu Neng left one behind to hunt down the remnants of the rebels.
Chasing from Yanzhou Mansion to Yi'an Mansion, the Ming army searched the mountains and finally captured Chen Jianding, and his subordinates Chen Xige, Ruan Ruli, Ruan Yan and others.
The puppet emperor is destroyed.
When Zhu Di learned about it, he was very happy and sent another 10,000 Ming troops.
Now in the southern region of Jiaozhi, there are a full 70,000 troops and 10,000 sailors, and the sweep has begun.
Zhang Fu, who rushed to the scene, led a department to defeat Chen Jianding's Yu Dang Ruan Shihui and Du Yuancuo in Yiyang Society, Anlao County, Dongchaozhou, beheaded more than 4,500 people, captured more than 2,000 people, all beheaded, and built as Jingguan, Chen Jianding and his subordinates were sent to Beijing by the commander Zhu Fu and others, and they were all beheaded for public display.
Mu Sheng led the army to chase Chen Ji and expand to Yujiang.
Chen Jikuo abandoned the fence and fled, and the Ming army chased him to the mouth of the primate, beheaded more than 3,000 people, and captured the enemy general Li Rong. After that, the battle between the Yunnan native soldiers and the Lao native soldiers did not go well, first a toast was defeated by Deng Jingyi, and then Dao Tuli was defeated in the battle for the river and almost died here, which made him remember the horror of Annan again.
They have been bullied by Annan in Laos.
Zhang Fu marched into the army to support Mu Sheng.
When the Jiaozhi rebels heard of Zhang Fu's arrival, they knew how powerful this person was, and they also knew that the new army of the Ming army was coming, so they did not dare to fight, so they hurriedly filled more than 30 zhang with stones to block the mouth of the river, in a vain attempt to prevent the Ming army from assisting the Ming army in transportation.
Zhang Fu let the sailors bombard, blew up the stones, and the ships were able to pass.
Chen Jikuo could only retreat again, and after retreating to the Yuechang River, he set up fences on both sides of the river for two or three hundred miles, lined up more than 300 ships in the river, and set up an ambush on the right side of the mountain. Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng led the army to Yuechangjiang, and Chen Jikuo ordered Ruan Shuai and others to fight, intending to lure the Ming army into an ambush.
Zhang Fu saw through Chen Jikuo's plan, led the cavalry to search the mountain, and eliminated the ambush soldiers; At the same time, the governor Zhu Guang and the commanders Zhang Sheng and Yu Guang were dispatched to row boats and pull out tree stumps, and cooperate with the cavalry to attack on land and water.
Chen Ji's army was defeated, drowning a large number of people, and the Ming army captured the enemy generals Deng Zongying and Ruan Zhongren, beheaded more than 2,000 ranks, and captured 120 enemy ships.
Zhang Fu, who had been prepared, sent cavalry to pursue for three days and three nights, and found the hidden Chen Jikuo in a forest.
The most powerful Chen royal family was defeated and killed.
At this point, all that remains is to put down small rebellions everywhere.
The Ming army went from north to south.
Li Lian, Ruan Long, Fan Kang, Yang Rumei and others were killed one after another, and more than 5,000 people were beheaded.
Soon, the Dongguan swarm of thieves and bees was also extinguished.
Under the layout of Zhu Neng, the army surrounded the Yellow Mountain, the terrain of the Yellow Mountain is complex, there are caves on all sides, there are about seventy-eight, the entrance of the cave only allows one person to enter and exit, there is a waterway directly to the Yuechang River, more than 1,000 rebels tried in vain to rely on this favorable terrain to carry out guerrilla warfare.
The terrain of Jiaozhi is complex and the products are abundant, and Zhu Neng will not let their plans go smoothly.
Although there were only a thousand people, if they were allowed to escape and start a guerrilla war, the number of non-Chinese people in the southern part of Jiaozhi would be revived.
Zhu Neng ordered the elite of the new army to enter the mountain to clear it, while ordering the sailors to block the mouth of the river, and then ordered a strong attack, the elite of the Ming army was extremely brave, and captured the cave in one go, and then Zhu Neng ordered to start filling it.
The rebels in the cave had no choice but to come out and surrender in order not to be buried alive.
Part of the rebels fled into Laos.
Zhu Neng ordered the Lao Propaganda Department to completely annihilate this group of rebels, otherwise the Ming army would enter Laos to quell the rebellion.
The knife line did not dare to slack off.
In the end, it took more than ten times the population to exhaust this group of rebels, and they were almost defeated in the process, so that the knife line gangster knew more about the power of the Ming Dynasty, and after his younger brother Dao Tuli returned from Jiaozhi, he opened and closed his mouth to be the Ming people, making the knife line more and more helpless.
So far, the first battle.
The southern part of Cochin has ten rooms and nine emptiness.
Zhu Di migrated a large number of people from the northern part of Jiaozhi to the south, and there were more than 100,000 immigrants from China, supplementing the population of southern Jiaozhi.
A large number of northern Chinese scholars were promoted to the south to become officials.
It not only attracted the local Chinese, but also indirectly caused large families to leave their homeland, strengthening the influence of the government in the local area.
The army fought continuously and intensively for a year and a half.
Not only are the native soldiers tired, but the new army is also tired, and the rate of disability and death is not small.
"Next, it's up to you to govern, don't waste the sacrifices of the soldiers." Zhu Di summoned officials, took Huang Fu's hand, and said expectantly.
Huang Fu, Zhang Xianzong, Wang Ping, Liu Ben, Liu Yu and other officials said one after another.
"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince, we will definitely take care of Jiaozhi."
Huang Fu is very confident that he will ensure the stability of Jiaozhi, and will soon be able to make Jiaozhi self-sufficient and reduce the burden on the country.
Zhu Di is about to return to the court.
Cochin fixing.
On the contrary, many people feel lost.
Military merchants, cotton merchants, flint merchants, medicine merchants, and so on.
The war made the materials lost by the Ming Dynasty immeasurable, and the south of Jiaozhi was empty, but these merchants made a lot of money in the war for more than a year, and the corners of their mouths flowed oil.
