The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 556: The hearts of people in Jiaozhi

It was pouring rain.

The army led by Zhu Neng was unable to move on the muddy ground.

The transportation of grain and grass in the rear is even more difficult.

The rebellion in the southern provinces flourished like wildfire, shocking northern Cochin.

Zhu Neng reluctantly stopped marching and set up a camp in the wild.

As a result, it rained intermittently for half a month.

Not to mention driving, not even walking.

There were swarms of mosquitoes after the rain, which could carry people away. The soldiers of the Ming army were sweltering, but no one dared to open the tent. In just a few breaths, countless mosquitoes would fly into the tent, making people miserable. Despite the heat, they still chose the latter.

The soldiers with bare arms and sweat all over their bodies stayed in the tent, using everything to fan themselves.

And the kitchen is even harder.

Not only had to cook for the entire army, but they also had to provide cold drinks and herbal teas. Many people fell ill in succession, and what made people even more anxious was supplies.

The rebels had few supplies and could only sustain themselves.

The surrounding people did not have much food left, and the army could not plunder.

"There are few Chinese people anyway."

The Lao military and civilian consolation envoy Daoxiangai next door sent [-] native soldiers. The Ming Dynasty regained Jiaozhi and shocked the surrounding areas. As the Ming Dynasty's consolation envoy, Daoxiangai took the initiative to send an envoy to contact him to show his respect. Zhu Di wants to send troops to fight for the Ming Dynasty.

Daoxian is a transliteration.

But the names of Li Thief and his son are not transliterated.

The leader of the Laotian soldiers is called Daotuli, which is also a transliteration.

Daotuli spoke unskilled Chinese and needed an interpreter to help translate, "The non-Chinese people in southern Cochin are all supporters of the rebels. Collecting supplies from them can also eliminate the support the rebels receive."

Zhu Neng refused.

Although there is a large non-Chinese population in southern Cochin, there is also a Chinese population.

The army is in the wild and cannot be clearly distinguished.

There is a specialization in surgery.

Post-war governance and liquidation work was left to officials.

The stability in northern Cochin and the rebellion in southern Cochin allowed Zhu Neng to better understand the psychology of His Royal Highness. This is reality, and reality teaches people a lesson that is far more shocking than the truth spoken verbally.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of time and effort in Jiaozhi, digging out the liver and lungs.

The results of it.

The non-Chinese people in Cochin did not appreciate it.

ever.

In history, the Ming Dynasty's war to regain Jiaozhi could be said to be the most benevolent war at home and abroad in ancient times. Instead of absorbing supplies, it brought a large amount of supplies. The rebellion in southern Jiaozhi proved everything.

Intimidating but not virtuous.

The truth can only be explained to people from the same standpoint.

On the basis of both, Zhu Neng deeply adhered to Zhu Gaochi's strategy.

We must annihilate the resistance forces to the end, and treat our own people with the warmth of spring.

In order not to accidentally hurt his own people and liquidate the opposition forces in southern Cochin, Zhu Neng did not change his plan because of the troubles he encountered now.

Daotuli was depressed after returning.

The interpreter asked curiously.

"I think the imperial court treats Han people too kindly. I'm not a Han person, so I really envy them."

Daotuli explained.

"Haha."

The interpreter was sent by Zhu Di and knew many dialects in Southeast Asia.

"Although you are not Han, you are a Mingren."

"what?"

"You are the commander of the Lao Xuanwei Department of the Ming Dynasty. You are the general of the Ming Dynasty. It is too late for others to envy you. Why should you envy others."

"As for our Chinese civilization, in addition to blood inheritance, it also has cultural inheritance. There are Mongols, Jurchens, Koreans, and Semu people in the country. Some of them are officials, generals, merchants, and even nobles. "

The interpreter introduced them one by one.

There were not many Mongolian nobles in the Ming Dynasty. Even when Chongzhen fell, there were still many Mongolian nobles in the capital.

"If you think you are Chinese, then you are Chinese. Only if you don't think you are Chinese will you feel worried." The interpreter pointed out.

Daotuli's worry is because he does not regard himself as Chinese.

The interpreter is very clear.

Although Laos was the Xuanweisi of the Ming Dynasty, Laos is too far away and is different from Jiaozhi in terms of culture and blood.

Dao Tuli suddenly realized.

He is a commanding officer of the Ming Dynasty. He has his native place and is personally granted a title by the imperial court.

The eldest brother heard about how powerful Da Ming was, so he sent himself here. After looking at it, he found that Da Ming was really powerful.

In such a climate and environment, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were still able to maintain their combat effectiveness. On the other hand, the soldiers they brought with them had already lost their morale. For those who don’t know, they thought that the Ming army was just local soldiers who could adapt to the local environment better than them. climate.

The large number of mosquitoes and the unbearable climate caused the Ming army's injury rate to increase.

The rainy season improves.

Many doctors were sent from Jiaozhou Prefecture, and there were also a large amount of medicines.

"This is the right time."

Zhu Neng sighed helplessly.

The rainy season and the febrile diseases in the army have forced him to rest and recuperate, giving the rebels a chance to breathe. Reducing non-combat casualties is the most important thing now. The death rate cannot be higher than the casualty rate.

The rebels had the city in hand and took advantage of this period without stopping.

Deng Xi and Ruan Jingzhen, the rebel leaders who controlled the army, did not conflict with Chen Jianding. They each took charge of their own troops, collected ships, strengthened the natural barriers of rivers, and determined to consume the Ming army.

Today's season is not pleasant.

Holding on until the Ming army retreats can buy them a few months before autumn arrives.

Chen Jianding and Chen Jikao took advantage of the advantage of fighting on the river and sea. They cut wood and built boats on the spot. Chen Jianding led his army to fix the beach on the other side. Ruan Shimei led an army of 2 people to set up a stockade on the other side of the Ludu River and lined up [-] boats. The remaining ships were protected by tree stumps in the southeast.Deng Rong led his army to defend Xianzi Pass, forming a military defense line based on natural geography.

a month.

at this time.

The Chinese people in the north started to move.

It was difficult to transport the supply team in the wild. The wheels got stuck in the mud, and even horses had difficulty pulling them out. People and horses fell over. When the nearby Chinese people heard about it, they came to help one after another, and their hearts were moved.

On roads that have been soaked by rain for a long time and have not been repaired.

The huge amount of supplies needed by tens of thousands of troops were smoothly transported to the front line in an atmosphere of united efforts and bravery from the rear.

There are no more worries, and the army's injuries have also been recovered.

There are also fewer mosquitoes.

Zhu Neng launched a major battle plan.

Taking advantage of the strong northwest wind, the supervisors Chen Xu, Zhu Guang and others led the boats to advance together. They fired a series of artillery fire and defeated the rebel boats. They killed [-] enemy troops and drowned many people. More than [-] people were captured alive. , captured more than [-] enemy ships.

Ruan Shimei was completely defeated, and loopholes appeared in the defense of the Cochin rebels.

Zhu Neng ordered Mu Sheng to lead Yunnan and Laotian soldiers to take the opportunity to attack Xianzi Pass. Xianzi Pass was already in panic, fearing that it would be surrounded and difficult to hold alone. Deng Rong unexpectedly collapsed without a fight. The Ming army easily captured Xianzi Pass. .

at this time.

Ruan Jingyi from the Jiangnan Camp realized that the situation was not good and abandoned the camp and ran away.

Nearly [-] Cochin rebels dispersed in one fell swoop.

The military strength in the entire southern part of the river was completely wiped out. Thanh Hoa Prefecture, Ai Chau and other prefectures and counties were regained by the Ming army. The rebels' home base, the former capital of the Li thieves and their sons, Thanh Hoa Prefecture once again opened its gates to welcome them. The arrival of the Ming army.

Zhu Neng left one unit behind to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the rebels.

Chasing from Yanzhou Prefecture to Nghe An Prefecture, the Ming army searched the mountains and finally captured Chen Jianding and his subordinates Chen Xige, Ruan Ruli, Ruan Yan and others alive.

The false emperor is destroyed.

After Zhu Di learned about it, he was very happy and sent another [-] Ming troops.

Now, in the southern area of ​​​​Jiaozhi, there are a total of [-] troops and [-] naval troops, and a large-scale sweep has begun.

Zhang Fu, who arrived, led his troops to defeat Chen Jianding's remaining party, Ruan Shihui and Du Yuancuo, in Yiyangshe, Anlao County, East Chaozhou. They beheaded more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people alive. They all beheaded and built as a Jingguan. Chen Jianding and his subordinates were sent to the capital by the commander Zhu Fu and others, and they were all beheaded in public display.

Mu Sheng led his army to pursue Chen Ji and extended it to Yujiang.

Chen Jikuan abandoned the fence and fled. The Ming army pursued him to Lingchang Haikou, beheaded more than [-] people, and captured the enemy general Li Nong.After that, the war between the Yunnan native soldiers and the Lao native soldiers did not go well. First, a chieftain was defeated by Deng Jingyi, and then Daotuli was defeated in Zhengjiang and almost died there, which reminded him of the horror of Annan.

Laos has been bullied by Annan.

Zhang Fu marched in to support Mu Sheng.

When the Jiaozhi rebels heard about Zhang Fu's arrival, they knew how powerful this man was, and also knew that the new Ming army was coming. They did not dare to fight, so they quickly filled the river mouth with more than [-] feet of stones to block the mouth of the river, in an attempt to prevent the Ming army's navy from assisting the Ming army's transportation. .

Zhang Fu let the navy's cannons bombard the rocks, allowing the ships to pass.

Chen Jikkuo could only retreat further. After retreating to the Yuechang River, he set up fences on both sides of the river for two to three hundred miles, lined up more than [-] ships in the river, and set up an ambush on the right side of the mountain.Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng led their troops to the Yuechang River. Chen Jikao ordered Ruan Shuai and others to fight, hoping to lure the Ming army into an ambush.

Zhang Fu saw through Chen Jikuo's plan and led his cavalry to search the mountain and eliminate the ambush. At the same time, he dispatched the governor Zhu Guang and the commanders Zhang Sheng and Yu Guang to row their boats to pull out tree stumps to cooperate with the cavalry in the land and water attack.

Chen Ji's army was defeated, and many people drowned. The Ming army captured enemy generals Deng Zongying and Ruan Zhong alive, beheaded more than 120 people, and captured [-] enemy ships.

Zhang Fu, who was well prepared, sent cavalry to pursue him for three days and three nights, and found Chen Jikou hiding in a forest. Seeing that he could not escape, Chen Jikou chose to commit suicide.

The most powerful Chen royal family was defeated and killed.

At this point, all that's left is to suppress small rebellions everywhere.

The Ming army marched from north to south.

Li Lian, Ruan Long, Fan Kang, Yang Rumei and others were killed one after another, and a total of more than [-] people were beheaded.

Soon, the bandit bees in Dongguan were also wiped out.

Under Zhu Neng's plan, the army besieged Mount Huangshan. The terrain of Mount Huangshan is complicated and there are about 78 caves on all sides. The entrance of the cave can only allow one person to enter and exit. There is also a waterway leading directly to the Yuechang River. More than a thousand rebels tried to take advantage of this. Terrain for guerrilla warfare.

Jiaozhi has complex terrain and rich products, and Zhu Neng will not let their plan go smoothly.

Although there are only more than a thousand people, if they are allowed to escape and start guerrilla warfare, given the size of the non-Chinese population in southern Cochin, the situation will revive again.

Zhu Neng ordered the elite of the new army to go into the mountains to clear the enemy, and at the same time ordered the navy to block the mouth of the river, and then ordered a storm. The elite of the Ming army was extremely brave and captured the entrance of the cave in one go. Then Zhu Neng ordered to start filling the cave.

The rebels in the cave had no choice but to come out and surrender in order not to be buried alive.

Some rebels fled into Laos.

Zhu Neng ordered the Laos Xuanwei Division to wipe out this group of rebels, otherwise the Ming army would enter Laos to quell the rebellion.

Daoxian dare not neglect it.

In the end, the strength of nine cattle and two tigers was wasted, and more than ten times the population was used to exhaustively eliminate this group of rebels. In the process, they were almost defeated, which made Dao Xian more aware of the power of Ming Dynasty. In addition, his After his younger brother Dao Tuli returned from Jiaozhi, he kept saying that he was from the Ming Dynasty, which made Dao Xiangui even more helpless.

This is the battle.

In the south of Cochin, nine out of ten houses are empty.

Zhu Di moved a large number of people from northern Cochin to the south, and there were more than [-] immigrants from the country, which supplemented the population of southern Cochin.

A large number of northern Chinese scholars were promoted to serve as officials in the south.

Not only did it win over the local Chinese, but it also indirectly caused the big families to leave their homeland, strengthening the government's influence in the local area.

The army has been fighting with high intensity for a year and a half.

Not only were the native soldiers tired, the new troops were also tired, and the disability and mortality rates were high.

"The next step is to look at your governance. Don't let the sacrifices of the soldiers go to waste." Zhu Di called the 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, Your Highness, we will definitely take care of Jiaozhi."

The Ming Dynasty spent an unprecedented amount of materials on Jiaozhi. Huang Fu was very confident that Jiaozhi's stability would be ensured and that Jiaozhi would soon be self-sufficient and reduce domestic burdens.

Zhu Di is about to return to the court with his troops.

Jiaozhiding.

On the contrary, many people feel lost.

Military merchants, cotton merchants, flint merchants, medicine merchants, etc.

The war caused an immeasurable loss of materials to the Ming Dynasty, and nine out of ten houses in southern Cochin were empty. However, businessmen like them made a lot of money in the remaining years of the war, and their mouths were full of oil.
