Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 458 Rebuilding the Nuer Gandu Division

"Really?"

Li Yingren was very pleasantly surprised, and then asked in doubt: "Could it be that the court has changed its mind?"

For Li Yingren, the most important thing to fight in the Liaodong area is the lack of troops.

If you attack one point, you will be attacked by the whole Liaodong. Without a certain army, it will definitely be difficult to parry.

In this situation, expanding the source of troops is the first to bear the brunt.

As we all know, since the Jianzhou Jurchens rebelled and seized Liaodong, the court's original lenient ethos has changed, becoming conservative, and even talking about it.

Not to mention other Jurchens, even the Mongols are feared and dare not use them anymore.

As a result, North Korea, which is closest to Phi Island, has no human resources at all except for trade value.

And what Li Yingren has always remembered is the Jurchens.

However, it is said that the Jurchen is divided into three parts, the Jianzhou Jurchen, the Haixi Jurchen, and the Savage Jurchen, among which the Haixi Jurchen and the Savage Jurchen were conquered by Nurhachi.

But the Jurchens are originally a collection of tribes, and if they have milk, they are mothers. As long as they have enough interests, they can be recruited and used.

Rather, compared to the loose management of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had mostly forced labor. The Jurchen tribe needed to pay a large amount of fur every year, and there were a lot of taxes and labor.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty was also extremely harsh on these distant relatives, and from time to time they wiped out, plundered wealth, and increased the number of slaves by the way to strengthen themselves.

Li Yingren knew very well that as long as these Jurchens who were dissatisfied with the Qing Dynasty were recruited, it would be enough to build a strong army.

"That's right!"

Wenxi nodded and said appreciatively: "Your remarks about the Jurchen tribe have been sorted out and sent to the regular meeting. The cabinet has objections to this, but His Majesty has the final say."

"So, after you return to Phi Island this time, you can go to the extreme north to recruit those Jurchens."

Speaking of this, Wenxi suddenly paused, hesitated for a while, and then continued: "Even, according to the letters of my colleagues, the imperial court even intends to rebuild the Nuer Gandu Division."

"Nurse Gan Dusi?"

Li Yingren was taken aback, then laughed and said: "After so many years, reconstruction is inevitable."

"You still don't understand!"

Wenxi excitedly said: "According to the gossip, the reconstruction of the Nuer Gandu Division is actually called the Liaodong Xingdu Division."

As he spoke, his face flushed, and he said in an excited tone:

"Shaanxi Province has the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, and Sichuan has the Sichuan Xingdu Division.

Liaodong Mansion belongs to Shandong, and now Nuergandusi has been renamed as Liaodong Xingdusi, wouldn't the establishment of Liaodong Province be a matter of course? "

Li Yingren couldn't help but laugh: "My Governor Wen, even if he establishes a province, it will be a few years later. When the Ming Dynasty is revived, we can't just stand still, right?"

"what--"

Wenxi was stunned, and then suddenly realized: "You are right, hahaha, I think too much."

The two smiled at each other.

Li Yingren didn't delay and started counting the supplies directly.

In the past six months, the imperial court sent a total of 200,000 taels of silver, [-] military robes, [-] swords and guns, [-] pairs of armor, [-] bows and crossbows, and even [-] pairs of saddles.

For the number of people in Phi Island, it is completely enough.

In fact, as long as they send enough money, they can go to North Korea to buy supplies, which is more cost-effective and timely than sending them here.

But neither of them dared to speak.

The news of the great victory in Huai'an finally reached Seoul after two months.

North Korea is boiling, and pro-Ming forces have skyrocketed.

The king of North Korea, Li Ji, pushed the boat smoothly and became more and more close to Daming. For a while, the Qing faction couldn't breathe because of the pressure from the pro-Ming forces.

But there is no way, their backstage is Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult to protect themselves at this time.

However, Pidao's life is much easier because of it, and the purchase of materials is also very convenient, without the previous restrictions.

Sun Kewang, who was far away in Kunming, also felt the reversal of the situation.

In fact, he felt this when he learned that Li Jizu had evacuated from Guizhou and his deputy Xiong Yingjie took his place and continued to sit in Guizhou.

But when it really made him realize clearly, it was Manqing's messenger.

That's right, even though they were separated by thousands of miles, the Manchu Qing still found Kunming, Yunnan, and planned to collude with Sun Kewang to counterattack the Ming army together.

Regarding Sun Kewang, Man Qing was also unambiguous and extremely generous:
"Yunnan, Guizhou, where Guangdong and Guangxi are located, with a radius of thousands of miles and thousands of people, all belong to you."

"The emperor of the Qing Dynasty is willing to sign an alliance with your country."

"I can't be the master!"

Seeing the envoy, Sun Kewang showed a cold and arrogant expression: "I am just the Dian king of Emperor Daxi, your country should go to Emperor Daxi!"

"The king of Dian was joking."

The envoy complimented softly: "Who doesn't know that in the Daxi court, if it weren't for the king of Dian, the country would have perished in Sichuan long ago."

"Emperor Daxi should be done by you."

"presumptuous--"

Sun Kewang said angrily: "I am loyal to Daxi wholeheartedly, how can I allow you to ruin our reputation?"

"Get out-"

The envoy had no choice but to leave.

After he left, Yang Changzhi, the former deputy envoy of Yunnan, had been trusted for a long time. Seeing that Sun Kewang had no anger on his face, he couldn't help saying:

"Your Highness, as far as I know, there are only [-] troops in Guizhou at this time, and we have [-] troops in Yunnan. Why don't you agree to his request?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bai Wenxuan also nodded in agreement and said, "Guangdong is much better than Yunnan. It is rich and rich, and even the women are more beautiful."

"Man Qing is generous to others!"

Sun Kewang shook his head: "Guizhou is not so easy to fight, and the Ming army is not so easy."

"In Yunnan province, chieftains occupy half of the land, and they especially refuse to submit to the rule of the royal family. On the Han side, the Mu family's prestige is still there, and they don't know what they are plotting."

"Where would I dare to send troops to Guizhou? I'm afraid that as soon as I leave Kunming, Kunming will disappear when I turn around."

This is true.

The environment in Yunnan is complex and changeable, and the forces are intricate. During the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, how many scholars favored the Ming Dynasty, secretly spying on him, waiting for him to make mistakes.

"If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct!"

Yang Changzhi suddenly said: "His Royal Highness is only a prince in Yunnan now, naturally those scholars look down on him and feel that he has no future.

As the adopted son of the late emperor, His Royal Highness should inherit the throne and become the emperor of Daxi. "

That's right, as long as you become emperor, you can divide officials into titles and win the hearts of the people.

There was a trace of fire in Sun Kewang's eyes, and he suppressed immediately: "No, Daxi has his master, my brothers are still in Jianchang, so they can't mess around."

"Your Highness, I don't know that the British Lord in troubled times, now that Emperor Daxi is young, it is very rare to control Jianchang. How can we unify the world?"

"Only His Royal Highness is majestic and imposing, and can win the world with Ming and Qing. It's not just me, even many brothers are like this."

"No one would believe that a young emperor would lead them to glory and wealth."

Yang Changzhi cupped his hands and bowed down: "For the sake of the great west, please also ask Your Highness to be the emperor, so as to rectify the hearts of the people."
