Chapter 669 Finally Waiting For This Day
Yuan Huang is 65 years old, but he is still full of energy, and his body is always strong. Although there are many government affairs, Yuan Huang has his own way of keeping in good health. In addition, Xiao Ruxun also tried his best to train clerical bureaucrats to relieve Yuan Huang's pressure. The life expectancy of the old man seems to be very rich.

After Xiao Ruxun led the army to the north at the end of last year, Yuan Huang has been in charge of the military administration in Myanmar. Everything is handled in accordance with the rules and regulations left by Xiao Ruxun, and things are handled in an orderly manner.

When Xiao Ruxun was in Myanmar, he played more of a spiritual guide role. The specific government affairs were arranged by Yuan Huang, so everyone didn't feel any difference.

However, as soon as this military information was delivered, the situation suddenly changed.

Yuan Huang took the military information and looked at it carefully. When he saw most of it, he immediately slapped the table.

"Finally wait for this day!"

Yuan Huang's face showed joy.

The clerical officials around looked at Yuan Huang and asked questions.

"May I ask sir, what's the matter?"

Yuan Huang handed the documents to the clerical counselors around him for them to circulate.

"What? Did the southern barbarians kill Franjiyi?"

Yuan Huang nodded with a smile on his face.

The southern barbarians in their mouths are the local aborigines left behind who cooperated with Xiao Ruxun after Xiao Ruxun led the army to destroy the Toungoo Dynasty. After Xiao Ruxun entered Burma, they were all moved to the west by Xiao Ruxun, close to Bangladesh. live there.

However, the relationship between the two parties has not been very good, mainly because after the development of Myanmar, these people feel that they have suffered a disadvantage. The part of the people who were forced to relocate by Xiao Ruxun at the beginning were dissatisfied. The construction of his hometown is so good, naturally he should have thought about it.

Intimidated by Xiao Ruxun's strength and the might of the Zhennan Army before, they only dared to make small moves and did not dare to do big things, but they never let up for a moment, but Xiao Ruxun would not relax their guard against them, and had been planning to completely wipe them out , but there has always been a lack of reasonable excuses.

After pacifying Luzon Island, Xiao Ruxun arranged for Cardinal Alexander from Rome to do missionary work in this area, calling it an experiment.

If they can make these people accept Catholicism, then Xiao Ruxun can confirm that Catholicism is safe, and they can accept their missionary work in Myanmar. If not, then it is difficult to say.

Of course, Bishop Alexander would not refuse such a request. Overjoyed, he set off with more than 30 followers to preach in the tribes of these southern barbarians. Matteo Ricci followed him all the way, and also provided translation services for Bishop Alexander. This missionary work is going well.

Although Xiao Ruxun had already left Myanmar at this time, he had already discussed the countermeasures with Yuan Huang.

Buying secret agents to sow discord in the ears of those tribal leaders, spreading some rumors that Catholicism is not conducive to their rule, fabricating some rumors that the purpose of spreading religion is to seize the ruling power, and easily kill these leaders Provoked.

Only one month later, these leaders took countermeasures, such as restricting a group of Bishop Alexander from entering their settlements, driving and beating them at every turn, thinking that they could be driven away.

But I didn't expect that Bishop Alexander was determined to open up a diocese in China for the position of Pope.

Another month has passed, and many people have believed in Catholicism, and they have a lot of dissatisfaction with the oppression and plunder of the original tribe. In addition, the tribal leaders often use barbaric methods to drive these Franji people away, so in the front A few days later, a confrontation occurred among a medium-sized tribe.

The leader of this tribe caught two missionaries and wanted to whip them. More than 100 of their believers were unwilling and wanted to protect these missionaries. Killed more than 50 people.

In the chaos, the two missionaries were also killed, and things got worse.

More tribal leaders saw that they had killed people, so they decided to kill all these "slaves of the devil" who came from nowhere.

After some confusion, seventeen or eight missionaries were killed, and three to five hundred believers were killed. Finally, the believers gave up their lives to stop the pursuers, and then Bishop Alexander and Matteo Ricci and his group escaped. He went to the garrison point of the Zhennan Army to seek help.

Those leaders led troops to chase after them. They saw that the Zhennan Army had taken in these missionaries and wanted the Zhennan Army to hand over these devil's slaves. They wanted to execute these people. The Zhennan Army had already received Yuan Huang's order to protect Alexander. A group of people forced the leaders to leave, and set up guns and artillery to deter them, so they were forced to retreat.

However, in the next few hours, small-scale harassment incidents continued to occur at the Ming army garrison points, so this report came out.

The time has come.

Before leaving, Xiao Ruxun gave Yuan Huang his jade talisman for mobilizing troops. When necessary, Yuan Huang could use his jade talisman to order the commanding general to mobilize the army and carry out an extermination campaign against the survivors of Dongyu.

Xiao Ruxun has the troop transfer flag of the Zhennan Army in his hand, which was issued to Xiao Ruxun by the Ministry of War. When the Zhennan Army needs to be mobilized, the Ministry of War will send someone to take the corresponding flag to transfer troops, but the Ministry of War has never used it. Guozhennan army went out to fight.

Therefore, within the Zhennan Army, the flag was useless, and Xiao Ruxun directly used himself as a troop token.

Xiao Ruxun is very concerned about the military power of the Zhennan Army. Except for Yuan Huang, he really doesn't dare to believe it, so he usually appears in the barracks of the major armies and talks with the sergeants cordially. All the soldiers of the Zhennan Army know what he looks like, and he himself is the best token of troop deployment.

Soldiers in the past basically didn’t know what senior generals looked like when they joined the army. They only knew who their immediate superiors were, and they marched and fought with their immediate superiors, even in rebellion. They were the least self-willed, so they had to Use soldier symbols to ensure the movement and belonging of troops.

The situation here is different for Xiao Ruxun. In order to ensure his absolute control over the army, Xiao Ruxun does not use flags in the army, but only uses himself to mobilize troops. Order.

In fact, the army still obeys the orders of Xiao Ruxun alone, because even a small soldier has seen Xiao Ruxun and knows that he must be loyal to him, not his boss or the commander-in-chief. reason.

Of course, this is something that can only be done when the stall is small. If the stall is bigger and there are more troops, this method will not work, so Xiao Ruxun prepared jade charms as the second token of troop transfer. Under the circumstances, the army obeys the order of the jade talisman.

According to the practice of the ancient army, Xiao Ruxun himself was present, and Xiao Ruxun's orders were taken as the highest order, because everyone knew him and knew that they should be loyal to him.

Each army has its own symbolic jade talisman, the left half is in the hands of the army general, and the right half is in the hands of Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun handed the jade talisman to Yuan Huang, who can use the jade talisman to mobilize the Zhennan Army in Myanmar.

Now is the time for the Zhennan Army to dispatch.
