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

Chapter 290
"I pay my respects to your majesty, long live your majesty!" Wu Wai came to pay his respects.

"Exemption."

Zhu Yijiong asked: "What's the latest news from Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Wu Wai was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied: "The Lin bandit's conquest of Guangxi has been protracted and has grown into a long-term tug of war. The prefectures in eastern Guangxi and central Guangxi have been annexed by them, and only the prefectures in western Guangxi are still resisting. Moreover, in order to support the war in Guangxi, , the bandit Lin led an army to conquer all the prefectures in Guangdong, and the people of the two vast areas were already boiling with resentment."

"Public resentment is boiling?" Zhu Yijiong nodded. Since the public resentment is boiling, it is time for the Ming army to go over and save the people of Guangdong from the fire.

Wu Wai added: "In addition, according to the latest reports, the Lin thieves are now constantly recruiting elite soldiers from the old battalion from Guangdong and rushing to the battlefield in Guangxi. It seems that they will complete their achievements in one battle. In addition, the prefectures in Guangdong are also recruiting new soldiers and apportioning money and food."

Jinyiwei has undergone comprehensive rectification from top to bottom, and its internal structure has become increasingly mature.In addition to internal supervision, we also began to try to dispatch detailed work abroad.

Most of these craftsmen are concentrated in the Guangdong, Guangxi and Lianghu areas, and they are all trained by the homeless people from Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangxi who were gathered by Jinyiwei.

Don't worry about being discovered, they are just refugees in these two places.Loyalty can also be guaranteed. In every detail, Daming will help them get married and start a business first, just to have a bond.

Moreover, the craftsmen will also grant land in advance, plus high salaries and tax exemptions, and there will also be a pension after death.

Lin Jun wants to complete his achievements in one battle and win the whole country.

Not only was the loss of soldiers, horses, money and food too much for him, but the battle in Guangxi was like a quagmire, and Lin Jun was stuck in it.

The battle has been going on for almost a year without being defeated. This can no longer be called a tug-of-war. It is just a bad battle. King Lin is bleeding continuously.

Coupled with the temporary truce between Zhu Yijiong and Yongzheng, his sense of urgency was also heightened.

Lin Jun even did not hesitate to recruit elite soldiers from Guangdong.

But in this way, Guangdong becomes empty.

Although Lin Jun later ordered to recruit new soldiers and raise food and grass in Guangdong and Guangxi, he has been on the front line in Guangxi for a long time.

This order was passed from Guangxi to Guangdong, whether to recruit troops or to recruit troops, to raise food or to raise food, how to operate it is the business of these Dai Viet officials.

These officials had been suppressed by Lin Jun's generals for a long time. Now they finally get the opportunity, but they have to let themselves go.

Moreover, these officials are not fools, and they also know that Lin Jun will cause problems if he does this.

In addition, the Qing army was defeated in the Huguang battlefield, and half of Huguang was acquired by the Ming Dynasty.In the eyes of the people of the world, this Ming Lord, not only has become a real dragon, at least he is also an emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

In this case, instead of following King Lin all the way to the dark side, it is better to start making money now.

When the Ming Lord's army arrived, Ma Liu surrendered.Even if you can't keep your official position, you can still become a wealthy man in the new dynasty.

Isn't it beautiful?

Zhu Yijiong asked: "What should I do if I want to enter Guangdong now?"

Wu Wai's heart moved, and he secretly said that it was true.

He had already made some guesses when the emperor asked him about the latest news from Guangdong and Guangdong. The special sentence he added was to explain the situation to the emperor.

Lin Jun's main force gathered in Guangxi, and Guangdong is now empty of troops.

The Ming army only needs to dispatch one army, and with the cooperation of Xi Zuo and Ba Paiyao, it can easily sweep across the entire territory of Guangdong.

"The forest thief can never stop my Ming Dynasty King's Heavenly Soldiers!"

Wu Wai immediately replied: "Furthermore, the Lin bandits are ruthlessly conquering Guangdong. The people of Guangdong are all eagerly hoping that our Ming Dynasty king's heavenly soldiers can regain Guangdong as soon as possible."

Although these words are exaggerated, they are all true.

In addition to inquiring about Lin Jun's intelligence about Da Yue, those detailed articles also secretly spread the beauty and prosperity under the Ming Dynasty.

Some even exaggerated, saying that under Emperor Zhu's rule, there was no beggar, there was too much food to eat, and everyone could afford to wear silk.

The first two are okay, but the last one is pure nonsense.

But those Guangdong people really believed it.

This was the case for ordinary people in ancient times (and also in modern times). Under the pressure of life, they often became more outrageous, but as long as it was good enough, these people would easily believe it.

It can also be said that it is regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance, which is also the fundamental reason why religion was so popular among the people at the bottom of the ancient times.

Now, at least the people in eastern Guangdong are really looking forward to it, hoping that Emperor Ming's heavenly soldiers will come over as soon as possible and drive away all these damn bandits.

Zhu Yijiong received a positive reply and nodded slightly: "Looking forward to it? That's good." He had to fight against the Manchus before, so not only could he not set up enemies on all sides, but he also had to push Lin Jun appropriately.

But now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has basically lost its ability to resist in the south.

The time has come, it’s time to send King Lin on his way!
Not only King Lin, but also the entire territory of the two lakes, the breadbasket of the world, must be completely captured.

After retreating from Wu, Zhu Yijiong summoned all the cabinet ministries, the Privy Council, and the Arms Bureau for a meeting.

After hearing that the emperor had decided to completely regain Huguang and Guangdong.

Wang Li took the lead in raising his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

This time, Wang Li was not trying to figure out the holy will, he really agreed.

Not only him, but also other ministries in the cabinet also chanted.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After all, this time Ryukyu was different from the previous one. The war in Ryukyu was called, at best, the expansion of territory; at worst, it was coveting the territory of a vassal state.

Public opinion propaganda is public opinion propaganda. Not everyone is a fool, but most people do not say it clearly.

The emperor has already made an excuse and given a step, but you still dare to talk nonsense, do you think your life is too long?

Fortunately, the eight islands northeast of Ryukyu are rich in natural resources, and the Satsuma Domain of Japan paid for the expedition, so the Ming Dynasty was guaranteed to make a profit.

This time is different from the one in Ryukyu. Guangdong, Guangxi and Hunan were originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This cannot be called an attack, but a recovery.

As for the two-front war, despite previous financial difficulties, Ming Dynasty was able to squeeze out money to support the war.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has sufficient finances, it is no problem to regain Guangdong and the two lakes.

Moreover, the two lakes are the granaries of the world. Even after being squeezed by Longkoduo, as long as the Ming Dynasty takes over and has some sympathy with the people, it will be able to recover and provide a steady stream of food and grass for the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that all the cabinet ministries expressed their approval, even the Ministry of Household Affairs, which manages the money bag, expressed its full support this time.

Zhu Yijiong nodded slightly, and then discussed with officials from various ministries the distribution of tasks, the transportation of money and grain, the recruitment of civilians, etc.

This battle was not Zhu Yijiong's impromptu initiative. Huguang had experienced a previous battle and the Manchu elite had been wiped out.

If it weren't for the fact that Ming Dynasty's finances couldn't withstand it, they would have pushed it over long ago.

However, it is not too late to push forward now, and a large number of fine craftsmen have been deployed. It will only be easier for the Ming army to defeat them this time.

The same is true for Guangdong. Since Lin Jun has withdrawn the main force from Guangdong, if Zhu Yijiong does not take the opportunity to regain it, it will really ruin the God-given opportunity.

And if Lin Jun continues to cause trouble in Guangdong, Guangdong will be devastated. If it is recovered by then, Ming Dynasty will have to spend money to suppress the rebellion and provide relief.

Moreover, there is another point. Xu Jin's Third Army has been stationed in southern Fujian for a long time. Except for the two newly formed armies of the other nine armies, the remaining seven armies have basically made more or less military exploits.

Even if the two armies are newly formed, it is very likely that they will be involved in a big war this year or next year.

Therefore, it is time to give the Third Army a chance to make meritorious deeds.

After Guangdong wins, Xu Jin will be arranged to continue to preside over the encirclement and suppression of Lin Jun's department.

As for the movements of the Manchus in the north, although it is difficult for the Jinyiwei to deploy and work in the north, there is nothing they can do because they are all from the south.Regional differences and corruption in the north make it very difficult for Jinyiwei to carry out detailed work in the north.

All information is obtained from the frontline military, Northland bandits and private businessmen, but we can still make some guesses.

Yongzheng is most likely to mobilize the northwest frontier troops to return to the division, but the specific number is still unknown.

However, the more troops there are, the slower they will return from the northwest. The previous [-] Qing troops were defeated, and this time there must be more than [-].

Moving on to the provision of food, grass and baggage, the recruitment of civilians, and finally sending troops southward, it will be impossible before the second half of this year.

So don't worry for the time being, and the Manchu and Qing northwest frontier troops are not that scary.

This is no longer the era of cold weapons. Whoever dares to fight hard will win.

Flintlock muskets, plate armor, explosive ammunition, etc., to put it bluntly, the current Ming Army is invincible at least in Asia.

　Work overtime every day, exhausted...
