The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 624 Destroying the Guo on a Fake Journey

The Guangnan Concession of the Ming Dynasty is the southernmost part of the country. It is the capital of Bac Lieu, the capital of Minh Hai Province in the southern city of Vietnam. Now this place is overgrown with wild grass and few people. It is a good place to raise horses.

Huang Mingdao went to negotiate with the Guangnan ruler in person, and finally signed an agreement. The Huang family leased a place by the sea with a radius of about 100 miles for [-] years at the rent of [-] Huaxia Tongbao silver coins per year.

Immediately afterwards, the fleet transported a large number of materials and people to build a seaport and set up a supply station. Of course, more than [-] Guangnan Guozhuang laborers were hired, and the newly born port was given a catchy name "Xingang".

The people of Guangnan who came to "Xingang" to work as coolies would not be abused, and they would get paid if they had enough to eat. If they learned to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, they could become managers, and their wages would be doubled.

The free night school run by Huang's family was sought after by the laborers in Guangnan. It was full of people inside, and the sound of reading books with strange accents became a scene of the "Xingang" construction site.

Guangnan Kingdom and Daming Cochin Province lived in harmony and conducted business normally, and many dignitaries of Guangnan Kingdom bought properties and did business in 'New Suzhou'.

"Huaxia Big Bank" has also opened in four major cities in Guangnan, and has formed a relationship that is not easy to divide.

Ruan Fukang, the lord of Guangnan, really didn't have the courage to fight against Ming. His undefended Ming strategy made his troops sufficient, and he used troops to go to Liaocheng to win a complete victory and obtain a large number of rice fields.

No matter how much rice is produced in Guangnan, Daming does not lower the price, and still buys it with four and a half Huaxia Tongbao hundred-wen copper coins for one stone. The life of the people in Guangnan is much easier.

The Lord of Guangnan received a report from his confidant minister Hu Mingshan, knowing that the Ming cavalry would go to "Xingang" to assemble through Guangnan, and planned to send troops to seize control of Malacca soon.

Ruan Fukang had heard of the story of annihilating Guo by false routes, but he dared not refuse the suzerain's unreasonable request, so he had to agree to let the Ming cavalry pass through the border.

Unexpectedly, the cavalry of the Ming army did not commit any crimes, and the business was fair. Many people in Guangnan who offered to help them also received some gifts, such as small mirrors, cooling oil, fruit candies, etc., which are rarely seen in Guangnan.

The majestic cavalry with distinctive armor crossed the entire Guangnan territory. Such a formidable iron cavalry shocked all the soldiers and civilians of Guangnan.

However, the powerful cavalrymen of Ming Dynasty treated every commoner of Guangnan Kingdom kindly, and the people of Guangnan Kingdom who were afraid of the army crossing the border would feel restless, and their recognition of the suzerain country was greatly improved, and they had a little taste of eating pot pulp.

After Ruan Fukang learned everything, he couldn't help but laugh, and he couldn't predict the blessings and misfortunes.

Infiltrating Guangnan Kingdom is a political task. Too many agents of the Huang family have already been active in the land of Guangnan Kingdom, and the common people here have also been bribed by small favors.

Cultural aggression and economic aggression are better than military aggression, and they are bloodless and more thorough!

Guangnan people have been influenced by Han civilization as early as the Han Dynasty. For more than a thousand years, their national characteristics are basically close to those of the Han nationality. They are also quite hardworking, much better than other South Asian monkeys.

Huang Sheng adopted a gentle policy to eliminate the antagonism between the army and the people of Guangnan, which will reduce too much bloodshed when the country is completely captured in the future.

Huang Sheng's layout is not only aimed at Guangnan, Laos, Khmer, Siam, and Toungoo have already had business groups enter, and the capitals of these countries have also opened "Huaxia Big Banks" that can be used for universal deposits and withdrawals. .

Of course, it is not enough to just trade. The Southeast Asian Military Intelligence Department is already in action.

After more than two years of material preparation and half a year of intensive training for the soldiers, Huang Sheng believed that the time was right to send troops to capture Sumatra Island, and he must strive for perfection in the battle between the lion and the rabbit.

Huang Dongshan, the highest person in charge of the Department of Praise and Painting, has been in charge of Hainan Island for more than three years. Now the people of Haiqingheyan live and work in peace and contentment, and can completely govern it.

Huang Dongshan is eager to follow the patriarch to expand the territory. With a broad vision, he believes that such deeds will be recorded in the annals of history. It is not important that he has already obtained the glory and wealth. It is the pursuit of too many senior officers of the Huang family to leave a name in history.

After Huang Dongshan left office, Hainan Island was divided into three prefectures, namely Yazhou Prefecture, Danzhou Prefecture, and Wanzhou Prefecture. Gu Shanhai became the master of Yazhou Prefecture, and the other two prefectures, Shi Jincai and Zhang Youfu, were also the first. He was born as a batch of craftsmen and belonged to grassroots civil servants.

The management of Hainan Island by civilian officials who were craftsmen certainly highlighted the importance of industry.

It also allowed the soldiers and civilians of the Huang family system to see that the craftsmen who mastered the extraordinary skills became high-ranking officials. From then on, no one would send children to study hard.

The old brother Cheng Quangong also participated in the military operation to seize Sumatra, but Huang Sheng politely refused. Cochin is no different from Hainan Island, and he will use this place as a base to expand westward.

What's more, the land border here is long, so how can we do it without strong soldiers stationed there?Chief Qian of the nine border towns must make up for the number of regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers transferred out as soon as possible, and they must make unremitting efforts to train Xiangyong to become reserve soldiers.

When it sweeps across Southeast Asia in the near future, every general who stays behind Jiaozhi will have the opportunity to expand his territory and make contributions.

Cheng Quangong is a pure soldier. Obeying orders and obeying commands is already a conditioned reflex. The patriarch asked him to station in "New Suzhou" and look forward to Guangnan and Laos. Of course he knows the importance.

There are still thirteen people left behind in Cochin, and their strength has surpassed that of two years ago, because this territory already has more than 100 million households, more than one million Han people armed with weapons, and 10,000+ first-class townspeople.

Huang Mingli also stayed. He did not stay in the territory of the Huang family, but went to Guangdong as the commander-in-chief with the title of Wu Jinglue, and brought a thousand soldiers with him. He was stationed in Xin'an County, which is the Dongguan area of ​​later generations.

Leaving a group of people near Guangzhou, Guangdong Province as a seed, it is more certain to completely control the Liangguang Ming Army in a year or two, because the exaggerated Xiong Wencan will succeed Huang Sheng as Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

This person has no talent. According to history, Xiong Wencan has only two bad things. They are bad for this and bad for that.

Historically, he was the one who recruited Zheng Yiguan, a coward who supported his own self-respect, black and white, made a lot of money, and finally surrendered to become a slave.

It was he who recruited Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Guoneng in October of the tenth year of Chongzhen, and successively recruited Luo Rucai, Zuo Geli and other ministries.

What makes him such a jerk is that he has no ability to disarm Zhang Xianzhong and the other anti-boned boys who are tens of thousands of horses, and he can't even mobilize some of these anti-boned boys.

This made the Ming army escape the fate of being destroyed by putting on the tiger skin of the official army when the situation of the Ming army's suppression of bandits was very good.

The imperial court took great pains to accommodate these rogues who were no longer fighting for the sake of surviving. They did not even see a year of peace, and all the thieves that Xiong Wencan recruited once again attacked the city, murdered and set fire.
