I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 287 The Northwest Army is coming back

The rebellion of Luobuzangdanjin disrupted Yongzheng's deployment to a certain extent.

Fortunately, Luobuzangdanjin was too swollen. Before it could gain a firm foothold, it rushed to attack the strategic location of Xiningwei, and then directly hit its head and was bleeding.

It took the Communist Party less than three months from raising troops to unifying Qinghai and gathering 20 people.

It is not surprising that Luobuzangdanjin was defeated in Xiningwei.

Yongzheng thought again and again and decided to transfer the northwest army back.But 20 is definitely not enough. At most, it will be transferred back to 15.

Otherwise, the northwest defense line would not be able to stop Luobuzang Danjin.

As for Cewang Alabutan, Yongzheng was not worried for the time being.

As long as the main force of the Northwest Army was not destroyed and the Manchu Qing Dynasty still had the strength to fight, he would not dare to act without permission.

Cewang Alabutan is a cautious person. Simply put, he does not let go of eagles when he sees rabbits.

Historically, Luobuzangdanjin originally invited Cewang Alabutan to raise troops together, but this guy was too cautious and only frantically encouraged Luobuzangdanjin to send troops, and then he did not move.

Facts have proved that Cewang Alabutan was right and Luobuzangdanjin was a waste.

Even the deliberate disclosure of Qinghai intelligence during this negotiation was also the instruction of Cewang Alabutan.It's a good idea to call the Manchus a rat-proof weapon and divert attention by the way.

Even if Yongzheng transfers the Northwest Army, there is a high probability that Cewang Alabutan will really shrink outside Jiayuguan, digesting these territories and watching the changes in the situation inside the pass.

Whether cowardly or cowardly, Junggar did not suffer much loss in strength during the period of Cewang Alabutan, but actually showed signs of returning to glory.

The reason why it is a comeback is that Cewang Alabutan's sons are all useless.

Even the most accomplished Galdan Celing won a battle with Tongbo, and was beaten to pieces by the furious Yongzheng in the blink of an eye.

Then Galdan Celing died of illness, and the remaining few were even sleeping dragons and phoenixes. Unexpectedly, the enemy was still engaged in internal strife, and they were taken away by Qianlong in just two years.

So, stop praising Qianlong's perfect martial arts.

If you count carefully, more than half of them are picked up.Otherwise, we didn’t win and got a bad deal.

……

Beijing.

Yongzheng learned of the news from the northwest, and after discussing with various cabinet ministries, he immediately issued an imperial edict: officially appointed Nian Gengyao as the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army, and transferred 15 troops from the northwest back to the division.

At the same time as the imperial edict was issued, Yongzheng did not forget to send Chang Shou, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to Qinghai to negotiate peace with Luobuzangdanjin.

One has two.

As long as Luobu Zangdanjin is willing to remove the title of Huntaiji from the Dalai Lama, the Qing Dynasty can formally decree to restore its Mongolian Khanate in Qinghai, and even talk about Tibet is not out of the question.

The imperial edict of canonization was also brought by Chang Shou.

Of course, this is just a delaying tactic, mainly to hold back Luobuzangdanjin in Qinghai.

Yongzheng has no time to deal with this younger brother (he was defeated in three months...). Even if the negotiation fails, there are still [-] elite troops in the northwest.There is also Sichuan's Yue Zhongqi who is staring at him. He is losing his hiding place and shrinking his defense line.

The Manchu and Qing Dynasties made rapid adjustments in the northwest, but the one who benefited the most was Zhu Yijiong, who did nothing.

It can’t be said to be profitable!

At least the Manchu and Qing northwest frontier troops he would face in the future were reduced by a quarter, but it also meant that Yongzheng's military expenditure pressure was also reduced by a quarter.

The counter-insurgency campaigns in Henan and Shandong have come to an end.

Liu Ruhan, who had captured Taiyuan, had already established his foundation, and he began to imitate Zhu Yijiong, working steadily and steadily, as if he was serious about becoming his King of Han.

However, although his form of integrating politics and religion helped him quickly stabilize the situation, it also had deep hidden dangers.

Go southwest to Yunnan and Guizhou.

Under the joint efforts of Zhang Guangsi and Yue Zhongqi, two famous generals in the world, the Guizhou rebel army was the first to be unable to withstand the attack.

Zhang Guangsi established a stronghold in Guizhou until the rebel army was unable to advance and the troops were exhausted.He sent out troops again and attacked Yue Zhongqi from both sides, and the Miao rebel army was defeated.

Baoli, the leader of the Miao people, died in the battle, and the rebel armies collapsed.

The Miao chaos in Guizhou has come to an end.At Chuping in Guizhou, Yue Zhongqi followed suit and mobilized troops to attack Yunnan. Zhang Guangsi also ordered troops from across the province to invade Yunnan under the orders of Yue Zhongqi.

It is a pity that the situation in Yunnan is not only more complicated than that in Guizhou, but just when the battle was completed, the sudden rebellion of Luobuzangdanjin also disrupted Yue Zhongqi's deployment.

Yue Zhongqi and Zhang Guangsi still relied on their excellent command skills and their superior strength to achieve victory.

Diao Huan of the Luohei Tufu who led the rebellion died in the battle, but the rest of the Luohei, Miao, and Yi people took advantage of the chaos and dispersed.

……

Nanjing.

Li Hong was retelling in detail the process of sending troops to Ryukyu with the emperor, as well as summarizing information on field visits to the eight northeastern Ryukyu islands.

Zhu Yijiong carefully looked through the memorial submitted by Fu Hao and Liu Sheng, and asked: "Are the products of the eight northeastern Ryukyu Islands really so rich?"

Li Hong nodded and said: "That's true, especially Oshima, the main island of the eight islands. The Ryukyu people call it Ufu Shima, and the Satsuma clan calls it Amami Oshima. This island is vast and rich in a kind of brown sugar. Our army is on the island Several workshops for producing brown sugar were also discovered, most of which were built by Japanese pirates. In addition, there are large areas of (primary forest) mountain forests on the island, including many giant trees that are hundreds of years old."

Brown sugar is actually a type of sucrose, similar in nature to brown sugar. They are both unrefined sucrose, which also means that both brown sugar and brown sugar retain most of the nutrients in sugar cane.

During the Edo period, the Satsuma clan made huge profits by relying on the brown sugar trade in Amami Oshima.

However, now, all these profits belong to Daming.In particular, there are large areas of mountain forest on the island, including many century-old giant trees.

Not to mention the benefits of other mountain forest logging, these century-old giant trees that can be used for shipbuilding are enough reasons for Zhu Yijiong to send troops this time.

Moreover, the Ming army did not send many troops this time. They only mobilized the Pengtai Navy and three thousand troops stationed in Taiwan.Even the battle damage was minimal, in order to prevent the scale of the war from expanding.

It can be said that the war compensation paid by the Satsuma Domain alone was completely sufficient to cover the cost of this expedition.

Brown sugar, mountain forest and other products from the eight northeastern islands are all pure profit.

I originally thought that sending troops this time was a loss-making transaction, and at most it was no profit or loss.

But now, as long as the remaining Ryukyu counties do not impose heavy taxes, they can achieve self-sufficiency.The Ming Dynasty only needed to take over the Satsuma clan and continue to develop brown sugar, forestry and other products on the eight northeastern islands to make huge profits.

Moreover, the Satsuma Domain lost the brown sugar trade that had originally generated huge revenue. In order to make up for the war losses (reparations), coupled with the marriage with the shogunate, the previous feudal lord incurred huge debts.

Either the Satsuma clan would lie down and declare bankruptcy (defaulting on debts, which would lead to huge hidden dangers), or it would engage in crazy maritime smuggling.

Tokugawa Yoshimune's so-called determination of trade quotas is a complete joke.It would be impossible for him to manage only one Satsuma clan, and it would be difficult for him to manage it.

Zhu Yijiong summoned the cabinet ministers, circulated the memorial, and asked Li Hong to recount the battle again.

Zhu Yijiong smiled and asked: "What do Wang Qing think of sending troops to Ryukyu this time?"

Wang Li cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have never thought that such overseas islands can be so fertile."

I really didn’t expect that a small, poor overseas country that even needs China’s help to survive can actually have such a fertile territory.

Sure enough, the common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.

Liang Wenxuan then said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the eight northeastern Ryukyu Islands, regardless of their area or properties, should not be placed under the jurisdiction of Ryukyu County, but should be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the central government."

Zhu Yijiong only thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "The eight islands in the northeast of Ryukyu are located in remote areas, and the central government's direct jurisdiction is too much. Moreover, the people on these islands also need to be educated, so the people of Kume are still in charge, but there must also be restrictions. It cannot be made the same as Ryukyu County. The cabinet will get a charter in the next few days and present it to me for the specific details."

"I obey the order!" Several members of the cabinet raised their hands in unison.

Zhu Yijiong also discussed with him the planning of brown sugar, forestry and other industries in the eight northeastern Ryukyu Islands. Brown sugar is simple and there are already inspection workshops, so it can be seamlessly connected.

Forestry is more troublesome and you have to start from scratch.

In addition to the wood used for shipbuilding, which is directly managed by the government, the rest of the forest logging can also be entrusted to private merchants to bid.

In later generations, Japan had many logging camps on Amami Oshima.

Speaking of which, after World War II, the American emperor gave Ryukyu to Bald Head, but Bald Head actually disliked the trouble and remoteness and did not ask for it.

Ha ha.
