Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Nanjing, the pier.

    A messenger quickly landed, changed to a fast horse and shouted along the way: "Good news, good news. The new twelfth division of the Datong Army broke through Youyang Xuanfu Division, Pingcha Dongsi, Shiye Dongsi, Yimei Dongsi,  Rongxi Zhimaziping Cave Division. Return to the east and break through the Xuanwei Division of Baojing Prefecture and the Xuanwei Division of Yongshun"

    The messenger rode his horse to the city gate, showed his waist card, entered the city and continued to shout along the way.

    "Win the battle again?"

    "Where is the new twelfth division?"

    "I don't know, it doesn't matter where it is, as long as we win the battle."

    "Listening to those names, I'm afraid they are all chieftains. How can they beat the Heavenly Soldiers of Datong?"

    "In less than two years, His Majesty will rule the world, and the price of food will come down by then."

    "Long live Your Majesty!"

    ""

    Confidential battle reports must not be leaked, but for ordinary good news, messengers are allowed to spread the news along the way, which can boost the morale of the people and increase the prestige of the court.

    As for the place names in the battle report, they are all chieftains in eastern Sichuan and western Hunan.

    The Twelfth Division was newly reorganized, half of the soldiers were natives of Sichuan, and half of the soldiers were veterans of the Ninth Division.  The firearms in the hands of the recruits are not enough, and many are still using bows and arrows, but they are more than enough to deal with the little chieftain.

    Of course, some chieftains are really big, such as Yongshun Xuanweisi and Baojingzhou Xuanweisi.  After the two places were conquered, they were directly merged into one mansion, tentatively named Yongshun Mansion.

    Tujia, Miao, ZhuangMulti-ethnic groups live together, and all of them are converted to natives. For those in poor mountains and remote areas, officials have to be sent to manage them for several years.

    What Nanjing people heard was good news, but Huo Tao, the left servant of the Ministry of War, reported his concern: "Your Majesty, you have received news from the Tenth Division that the puppet dynasty in the north of Annan Kingdom sent troops to occupy more than 30 villages on the border of Siling Prefecture."

    Under Zhao Han, the first two political envoys were Ouyang Zheng and Huo Tao.

    After the reform of the central system, Ouyang Zheng was promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Huo Tao was promoted to be the Left Minister of the Ministry of War.

    Zhao Han really didn't want to understand: "Annan's northern puppet dynasty, even Annan's own country only occupies half, how dare they come to encroach on the border of Guangxi?"

    Huo Tao replied: "I have consulted Mr. Li Ge. According to Mr. Li Ge, Annan has been coveting China's borders for three hundred years. During the Jiajing period, a war almost broke out.  Take back the lost frontier."

    The Mu family in Yunnan is more anxious than anyone else, because those lost lands are all the private land of the Mu family!

    The Mu family fought and developed in the past dynasties, destroyed many small chieftains, and then replaced them by themselves.  The newly developed land was not reported to the imperial court, and people were sent to manage it.  This led the civil officials in Yunnan to think that those were not Chinese territories, nor Vietnamese territories, but lands of savages that had never been owned by them.

    These private sites of the Mu family were historically taken over by Wu Sangui.

    After the fall of Wu Sangui, part of it was occupied by Vietnam, and there were territorial disputes during the Qing Dynasty.  Later, the French colonized Vietnam, and the country was completely separated from China, and there would never be a chance to take it back.

    Huo Tao also said: "Nowadays, the Annan and Northern Dynasties have good relations with the puppet imperial court in Yunnan, so it is impossible to encroach on Yunnan. On the other hand, in Guangxi, our army has not yet occupied Siling Prefecture, and there are only some small chieftains in Siling Prefecture. The monarchs and ministers of the Annan and Northern Dynasties  , has always had expansion ambitions, and it is expected to take the opportunity to occupy border villages."

    "Since the Tenth Division didn't fight over, how did it know?" Zhao Han asked.

    Huo Tao replied: "Wei Shi, the native official of Siling Prefecture, established himself as the chieftain after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. This man has great ambitions, brazenly sent troops to Siming Prefecture, and once captured Siming Prefecture. The chieftains of Siming Prefecture joined forces,  Drive Webster back to Siling Prefecture. Now, Annan has invaded the border and occupied the village, Webster has lost the battle, and has a bad relationship with other chieftains, so he asks the Tenth Division of the Datong Army to send troops to help."

    It can probably be understood that a teddy was going around and was suddenly bitten by a fierce dog, so he urgently asked someone to help him.

    When Siling Prefecture was in Zhu Yuanzhang's time, it had already changed its land and returned to the people.  However, Webster's hereditary Tusi, assisting the Han Zhizhou to govern the region, is not much different from the real Tusi.

    Zhao Han asked: "What is the tenth division thinking?"

    Huo Tao said: "I request Your Majesty to follow the example of Sichuan and add an additional division in Guangxi. Some remnants of chieftains in Guangxi often surrender and rebel, attacking officials and people with poisonous arrows in the mountains. The land in Guangxi is barren, with many mountains but little land. Many children  The people have been soldiers for generations, so they can make a living. There are some young people who are willing to fight with the Datong Army. But they are not even counted as farmers and soldiers, and their morale will inevitably be low, and some people have been instigated to rebel."

    Zhao Han thought carefully, nodded and said: "The thirteenth division was donated in Guangxi,More than a dozen feudal lords formed a coalition.  But still unable to break through the city of the rebel army, they could only besiege and blockade the city, trying to starve the rebel army to death.  "

    Zhao Han asked, "Did you starve to death?"

    Lin Wenyuan said: "Amakusa Shiro is a Christian believer. He sent people to break out and contact the Dutch, hoping to get the support of the Dutch. But he didn't know that he believed in the old religion, while the Netherlands believed in the Protestant religion. Instead of rescue, the Netherlands  Send out the fleet to bombard the rebels."

    "That's the truth." Zhao Han nodded.

    Lin Wenyuan said: "More than 30,000 rebels fought to the death, and only 20,000 remained. The shogunate army killed 3,000 and injured tens of thousands. After breaking the city, they slaughtered all the living rebels. Since then, Japan has  Close the country and cut off trade with Spain and Portugal. The shogunate ordered all churches to be destroyed, and if anyone who believed in Western religion was found, they would be arrested and sentenced to death."

    Zhao Han sighed: "Officials force the people to rebel. This is the case in ancient and modern China and abroad. It's a pity that Shiro Amakusa has such courage at the age of sixteen, and can make tens of thousands of rebels swear to die."

    Lin Wenyuan said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese shogunate vaguely proposed conditions. As long as His Majesty approves of the shogunate's rule, Japan is willing to respect Datong China as its suzerain, and all Japanese seaports are open to Chinese merchants."

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "Go back and tell the shogunate that the grievances between them and Ming Dynasty are never to be blamed. As long as I promise not to cause Japanese chaos again, I can send envoys to Nanjing. After I receive the Japanese letter of credence, I will also send envoys to  Canonize the king of Japan."

    "Your Majesty is holy!"

    Lin Wenyuan was overjoyed. Once Japan opened its ports, Chinese merchants would do their own business¡ªthe Netherlands could only trade on Dejima in Nagasaki.
