The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

The news of the start of the war and the defeat of the battle came back almost from front to back, and the interval between them would not exceed an hour.

The speed at which the Qing army was defeated in this battle really frightened Lang Tingzuo!

Tulehun on the side also had a gloomy face, trying to remain calm, without saying a word.

However, the slightly trembling right hand holding the teacup revealed his true thoughts deep in his heart.

Obviously, he was also frightened by the speed of the defeat of the Qing army!

In fact, to be honest, the Qing army fought well in the blocking battle that took place at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Under the firepower of the Ming army's naval guns, the various Qing troops fought fiercely for almost a whole day before they completely lost their line of defense.

In any case, their performance can also be called a bright spot!
The reason why the news of the war and the defeat arrived in Jiangning was less than an hour.

That is actually caused by the different speeds of message delivery!
The news of the start of the war is delivered quickly, and the news of the defeat is delivered in a hurry. Of course, there will be differences between the two.

"Governor Lang, what should we do now?"

Tulehun asked.

Lang Tingzuo took a deep breath, and then spoke.

"Don't panic, General. Soldiers and horses from all over the south of the Yangtze River are being mobilized. After the mobilization is completed, they will gather in Jiangning."

"Although it takes time, from Jiangning along the river to the sea, the front and rear waterways are less than six hundred miles away."

"Although the Ming bandits have the convenience of a navy, they can march for six hundred miles, but they still need seven or eight days of effort."

"With these seven or eight days of effort, at least 2 or [-] soldiers and horses from all over the country can rush to Jiangning."

"With these 2 people, plus Jiang Ning's Eight Banners garrison, it will definitely not be a problem to repel the criminals!"

Lang Tingzuo didn't know whether he could stop or even repel the Ming army.

But this did not prevent him from comforting Tulehun's injured little heart!

……

People in the south of the Yangtze River have complicated attitudes towards Daming, which is making a comeback again.

Although they were happy for Ming's comeback, Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing left them a profound lesson.

Although the landlords and gentry in Jiangnan were happy, no one dared to come out and team up for a while!
On the opposite side of the Ming army fleet going up the river, they mostly adopted a stand-by attitude.

The most is to send some food, grass, gold and silver to the army to reward the army, and it has to be sneaky.

It can be regarded as a good sale for Daming!

Other than that, there is no other action.

……

There are braziers in the cabin, and the braziers emit light and heat.

It makes the whole cabin warm!
Zhu Hongyu took off his cloak, put on a suit of ordinary clothes, and sat behind the big case, burying his head in handling official documents.

After a brief reading, it is to sign and seal the official document.

He ordered the reorganization of the Green Battalion, which was anyway in front of the formation, and gave it the name of the Rebel Army.

And let the logistics department prepare to distribute winter clothes to the newly formed Guiyi Army and organize their armaments.

To some of the soldiers and horses who have already made contributions, a part of the armor ordnance seized from the Qing army was issued to enhance the armament and combat effectiveness of the Guiyi army.

For those soldiers and horses who had just surrendered and had not yet had the blood of the Qing army on their hands, and had handed over the certificates of surrender to Ming Dynasty, they would continue to remain the same.

Of course, what is mentioned here is to keep it as it is, referring to the aspect of armaments!

In terms of winter clothes and food, etc., they still have to be distributed according to the prescribed standards!

And Zhu Hongyu's food and salary standard for the Guiyi Army was much lower than that of the genuine Guangfu Army.

But compared with the treatment they received when they were green battalion soldiers, it can be called a world of difference.

Just three full meals a day, these soldiers of the Guiyi Army, when they were soldiers in the Green Battalion, would never have dared to think about it!

If Daming could give them such treatment back then, why did they bother to surrender to the Qing captives, shaved their hair and changed clothes to become slaves? !

Of course, Zhu Hongyu didn't cut off their ascension channel just because of their origins as prisoners of war, regardless of the preferential treatment in terms of food and salary.

Soldiers of the Guiyi Army can also be promoted after they have made military achievements.

As long as you have enough military merit, you can enter the new barracks and wander around, and you can be incorporated into the recovery army when you come out.

Become an honorable soldier of the Restoration Army, not an embarrassing Guiyi Army.

Even, Zhu Hongyu gave Gui Yijun some places to enter the Daming Royal Lecture Hall Military Academy for advanced studies.

No matter what status he was in the past, as long as he made enough military achievements, he would be able to obtain a place for further study in the military academy.

Roll around in the military academy, and after you come out, you can enter the Liberation Army and serve as a grassroots officer.

There is still hope for these soldiers who returned to the rebel army in the future!
Although Zhu Hongyu had more trust in his direct descendant, the Guangfu Army, the definition of Guiyi Army was just a second-line army that used cold weapons.

Or to put it more bluntly, it is the cannon fodder troops.

But he is also very concerned about Gui Yijun!
Because, in the ensuing battle, if the Guiyi Army performed well, this would be the template for the Ming Dynasty to incorporate and surrender to the Green Battalion in the future.

There are hundreds of thousands of green battalion soldiers in the whole world, and it is impossible for Zhu Hongyu to kill them all.

If it can be included, naturally try to include it as much as possible!
After all, that's the army!

It is indeed a bit wasteful to treat them as coolies in labor camps.

Although there are many old veterans who are old habits die hard, it is enough to gradually eliminate the training!
Zhu Hongyu handed over his reorganization and reorganization plan for the Guiyi Army to Zheng Chenggong who was on the opposite side. Zheng Chenggong took the plan with both hands, and then read it carefully.

Looking at the detailed clauses in the plan, Zheng Chenggong couldn't help nodding.

Zhu Hongyu stretched his waist, and as his waist stretched, the bones all over his body creaked.

"Take a look, Lao Taishan, is there anything else that needs to be added to this plan?"

"One person counts the short, and three people count the long. I just want to hear Lao Taishan's opinion!"

Zheng Chenggong clasped his fists together, and then spoke.

"Perhaps your Highness can add the grant of military merit!"

"If the gift of land is used as a lure, the Guiyi Army will definitely be able to explode with impressive combat effectiveness."

Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu slapped his head.

Why did he forget about giving Tian?
Said with some regret.

"Haha, indeed!"

"It's Gu's negligence!"

The Liberation Army fought bravely to be the first in every battle, not afraid of arrows and stones, and the biggest reason for eliminating the role of ideological education was actually the gift of military merit.

It is difficult to understand how obsessed Chinese people are with land in this era.

Zhu Hongyu's single-handed military exploits bestowed on the field, and he did not know how many peasants were seduced, and he stepped onto the battlefield without hesitation.

Fight bravely for a piece of land, and fight without fear of life and death!
This trick of granting fields is useful to the Guangfu army, it is useful to the Zheng army, and it is definitely useful to the Guiyi army.

After talking about Gui Yijun, Zheng Chenggong spoke again.

"Your Highness, our naval fleet entered the Yangtze River and received a lot of food and salaries donated by local gentry and people along the way."

"It can be seen that the gentry and common people in the south of the Yangtze River still love me, Daming!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and said with a smile.

"The loyalty of the people in the south of the Yangtze River is commendable. I will always remember what happened now!"

He said so, but in his heart Zhu Hongyu didn't like the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now the gentry and common people in the south of the Yangtze River are indeed interested in Daming.

But that's because they were miserably harmed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and only then did they remember that Daming was good.

Let's put it this way, the loyalty of these Jiangnan landlords and gentry to Daming needs to be put in quotation marks.

Historically, when the Qing army first entered Jiangnan, the entire Jiangnan fell in anticipation!

Although there are many loyal ministers and righteous men who really died for the Ming Dynasty, there are more soft bones who surrendered.

Sorry, there are a lot of classes today, and I haven't coded them out, so there are only two updates, and the third update will resume tomorrow!
