Chapter 359 The Dutch Are Here Again
Nanjing.

Zhu Yijiong has just issued an order to collect grain and water throughout the country to prevent drought.

Henan and Hubei provinces sent urgent military information: Yongzheng and Luobuzangdanjin were at full-scale war!

The reason is that Luobuzangdanjin can no longer support the 20 troops at hand, and as nomadic people in the Qinghai region, they are more sensitive to climate change than the Han region.

This winter has actually been quite warm, and there will definitely be a severe drought next year.If Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin does not send troops, even if Yong Zheng quits him in the spring, he will never be able to withstand the great famine.

Zhu Yijiong immediately summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss the matter.

Wang Li pondered for a moment and said: "If the Qing Dynasty goes to war with Qinghai, we can order the two lakes and Guangdong and Guangdong to strengthen their defenses."

Zhu Chengxun said: "Although our Ming Dynasty now occupies most of the Han territory, the troops of the two lakes are trapped in southern Hunan, and the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi are trapped in western Guangxi. It will be really difficult to interfere in the war between Qinghai and the Qing Dynasty. We can order local places to be on guard and be on guard. Stock up on food and grass and wait for mobile troops."

They are just waiting for mobile troops. In fact, Wang Li and Zhu Chengxun's suggestions are basically the same, that is, try not to send troops if possible.

This is not to form a party, but to take into account domestic civil affairs.

Although the two of them do not belong to the same political faction, years of fighting have taken a huge toll on the people.

Moreover, there is a high probability that there will be a drought again this year. At this time, troops will be sent to intervene in the chaotic war between the Qing Dynasty and Qinghai.

Picture what?
Is it a waste of money for the people and a loss of money for the people to make a living?

Lu Youlong, a cabinet minister who usually acted as a balancing faction in the cabinet, hesitated a little at this moment and rarely spoke: "Qinghai Luobu Zangdanjin may seem powerful, but it can never defeat the puppet Qing Dynasty. Even if Ming Dynasty intervenes, this Luobu Zangdanjin will not become a thing."

Zhu Yijiong was startled for a moment, then said: "Why is this?"

Lu Youlong said: "Although Luobuzangdanjin is the grandson of Gu Shihan (canonized by the Qing Dynasty, his full name is Huimin Gu Shihan in accordance with the text, but in fact he should be called Gushi Khan, which means national teacher), legally speaking He had the right to inherit the Tibetan Khanate, but the pseudo-Qing Emperor Kangxi was very smart and refused to confer the title of Luobuzangdanjin Khan. Until a few years ago, Cewang Alabutan destroyed King Lhasa, and the pseudo-Qing Emperor Kangxi further continued to Qinghai granted an extra Khan king and took away the power and position of Luobuzangdanjin. Luobuzangdanjin’s rebellion was inevitable. Even if he didn’t rebel, he would never be able to withstand the blunt knife of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty. But. Even if it is reversed, it will still not become a climate change."

Of course it wouldn't be a problem, and the Manchus were not fools, so how could they not take precautions against it?
Now that a blunt knife has been used to cut the flesh, there must be a way to deal with Luo Bu Zang Dan Jin and the dog jumping over the wall.

More importantly, Luobuzangdanjin only has a name, but does not have enough real power.As Lu Youlong said, even Qinghai was not completely under his control. There was another Khan who shared the power.

Don't look at the majesty of Luobuzangdenjin now, unifying Qinghai, and the support of Chahannuomen Khan, the great lama of Kumbum Monastery.However, the people under his command are full of factions and cannot be effectively controlled at all.

Just looking at the fact that his army is still 20 from the time it was raised until now, we can see that he does not even have the power to reorganize the army.

Historically, it only took four months from the launch of the Luobuzangdanjin rebellion to the Qing court learning about it and then the Qing court sending troops to quell the rebellion.

This battle directly made Nian Gengyao famous. In the harsh terrain of the northwest, he defeated and pacified the 20 rebels in Qinghai in four months.

It is said that Nian Gengyao massacred [-] Mongolian prisoners in order to save food.

I don't know if it is true or not, but it is most likely false, because it is impossible for those [-] prisoners not to resist, and if [-] pigs are killed, they can break three teeth of Nian Gengyao's army.

Moreover, how could Nian Gengyao have the authority to massacre [-] prisoners?

No matter how domineering Nian Gengyao was, this was really too much.

Zhu Yijiong thought for a moment and did not insist anymore: "Pass an order to order the new armies of Hunan and Guangxi to strengthen their vigilance."

The three cabinet ministers all said that they cannot send troops, so it is [-]% that they cannot send troops.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty's regular army in Hunan and Guangxi was indeed "empty".

Of course, it's just the regular army. If Ming Dynasty wanted to, it could send out the millions of reserves.

The combat power of the reserve force is not as good as that of the regular army, but it is certainly stronger than the green battalion.As long as he is given enough food and treated the same as a regular soldier, Zhu Yijiong can have millions of soldiers in an instant.

Just talking, Zhu Yijiong doesn't have that much food. He estimates that there will be no major disasters next year, which will be much better, because the two lakes have begun to produce food.

As for now, Yongzheng wants to fight dog with Luobuzang Danjin, so let them bite!
The harder the bite, the better. It is best for Luobuzangdanjin to last longer. The fight will cause trouble between the two sides, and the Mongolian population in Qinghai will drop sharply.

In this way, when the Ming army marches into Qinghai, it will be easier to rule. Moreover, the harder the attack, the stronger the resistance of the common people in the two places will be.

Zhu Yijiong couldn't control Yongzheng, nor Luobuzangdanjin, so he could only pray for maximum benefits.

……

Historically, it was only four months after Nian Gengyao pinged Luobu Zangdanjin, which was the time to suppress the rebellion.

It may take even less time to actually send troops to defeat the remaining troops of Luobuzangdanjin, and then the opponent disguises himself as a woman and runs to Junggar for refuge.However, this is a historical timeline. The reality is that this time Luobuzangdanjin suddenly tore up the peace treaty and brazenly sent troops south, catching Yongzheng by surprise.

As a result, Yongzheng decisively led the expedition in person, and appointed Yue Zhongqi as the commander-in-chief of the South Route Army and Nian Gengyao as the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army.

The north and south attacked Luobuzangdanjin.

This may not sound like a problem, but the point is that Yongzheng did not have a military advantage in the first place.

Now the troops are divided into battles and two coaches have been appointed.

This may not have been a problem in the past, but now, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are not only divided into two, but also tend to be on the verge of collapse.

At least Nian Gengyao's North Route Army's push into Qinghai was not smooth. Only Yue Zhongqi's South Route Sichuan Army was really fighting a tough battle. However, his Sichuan Army's combat power was limited, and they were all infantry and cavalry...not to mention.

Luobuzangdanjin, which was supposed to be solved easily, gradually had a tendency to turn into a bad battle.

Cewang Alabutan still stood still, but secretly sent his newly trained fire gun cavalry to rescue Luobuzangdanjin. The leader was Galdan Celing.

Zhu Yijiong obviously brought about the butterfly effect. Luobu Zangdanjin was not defeated immediately, but actually wanted to fight a protracted war with the Manchus.

But now Zhu Yijiong has no time to care about these two dog-eating dogs in the northwest.

After a few months from last year to today, those Dutch people are finally back.

Zhu Yijiong couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he saw the memorial in his hand presented by the governor of Guangdong regarding the arrival of the Dutch envoys from the foreign vassal.

Should we also set up a shipping department in Guangzhou?
Although Macao also plays a role in trade, it is different from Guangzhou. Guangzhou is Guangzhou and Macao is Macao.

Moreover, today's Macau officially surrendered to China last year.

Yes, it is surrender.

After the Portuguese in Macau learned that the Ming Dynasty was very likely to unify China, they immediately submitted a letter with a request to Nanjing through the Macau official.

Moreover, it is not just within Macao, these Portuguese people in Macao also want to directly join Chinese nationality and become an ethnic group under the Ming Dynasty.

This is not surprising. These Portuguese people in Macau say they are Portuguese, but they just use a name.

The vast majority of Portuguese people there were born and raised in Macau from unknown generations ago.

Just like the beautiful country in later generations, their ancestral bloodline should be John Bull.

It's just that these John Bulls are all native to the Americas, and they no longer have a sense of belonging to the native John Bulls.

The same is true for the Portuguese in Macau today, and the Portuguese mainland does not pay much attention to Macau, a small place in the Far East that is not a colony.

Neither was he born in the local area nor was he valued by the local area.

The Ming Dynasty became more and more powerful. These Portuguese people in Macau wanted to seek asylum, so naturally joining the Ming Dynasty as a nationality was the most cost-effective option.

There was no concept of nationality in Europe at this time, and it was normal to join whichever country was better (it seems that this will also happen in later generations...).

More importantly, the people living in Macau are basically Portuguese, so there is essentially no difference.

If the Portuguese in Macau want to voluntarily surrender, Zhu Yijiong will naturally not refuse.First, create households for these Portuguese people, then build schools and relocate the Han people. All of this can be done slowly.

As for opening up the sea and building a port in Guangzhou, a municipal shipping department was established.

Forget it, let’s wait until the civil affairs in Guangdong and Guangxi are restored to some extent!

At this stage, we should first build port cities in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Guangdong should definitely be Guangzhou. It has nothing to do with historical factors. It is simply that the geographical conditions here are superior and it is at the intersection of hydrology.

Guangxi can only build in Lianzhou.

Qinbei defense in Guangxi!

Zhu Yijiong made up his mind and summoned the secretary on duty: "Go and ask Fan Shouyi, Secretary of the Imperial College, to come see me as soon as possible!"
