Ming Zuo

Chapter 1585 Civil Unrest in Yunnan
"Nanyang is very big and very important. It must be ensured by competent officers. In addition, when we set foot in the south of the New World in the future, we will also enter from here. I can rest assured only if you are in charge here."

Facing Zuo Hua who came in a hurry, Zuo Menggeng expressed his thoughts.

With the discovery of Australia, the South Pacific finally showed its face to the world.

The New Guinea Islands plus the Australian mainland, the entire area is too vast.Even though he was preparing to build two new provinces, Zuo Menggeng knew that controlling them would not be easy.

In this case, it is necessary to have top-level executives sitting in charge to make things go smoothly.

After thinking about it, Zuo Hua's status as a prince is the most suitable.

Zuo Hua scratched his head for this appointment.

"If you serve as the governor of Nanyang, you will not be able to fight wars."

Although the governor's military and political affairs have grasped it, it is still an office job after all.From the perspective of Zuo Hua's temperament, he prefers to command and fight on the front line.

Zuo Menggeng smiled when he heard this.

"When you reach your level, even if you are fighting, you will not be at the front line. After all, you have to dabble in other fields, so that you can improve in the future."

Zuo Hua naturally obeyed him completely.

The National Defense Force has grown to an extremely large scale.

Those generals who personally charged on the front line at the beginning are now the commanders-in-chief of 10,000+ troops under their command.

It can be said that the front line of blood and fire is far away from them.

Zuo Hua is also in charge of the East China Sea Fleet with the official position of Prince Lord and Minister of the Navy, which is itself an expedient measure.

It is more in line with his status to be transferred to the governor of Nanyang now.

"Australia is big, but Papua Island is the hub. Your Governor's Mansion is set up here, which happens to be in charge of the overall situation."

Zuo Hua silently remembered it in his heart, but at the same time he also had his own considerations.

"Based on the current situation, the current deployment of the Navy's troops has been somewhat unable to keep up. I suggest that adjustments must be made as soon as possible, so as not to hinder the development of the development."

Zuo Menggeng also saw the problems he saw.

"I have already communicated with the Central Committee and the High Command on this matter. But you also know that the reform of the military system has not passed for a long time, and it is not appropriate to make any changes for the time being. But in a few years, it will definitely be re-deployed."

The navy currently has three fleets, namely the North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet.

In the original situation, such a deployment was appropriate.But now that the empire has extended its tentacles to the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, the deployment of troops must be adjusted accordingly.

It's just because the previous military system reform has not been digested and it will take time.

"I have already transferred Zuo Maodi back. With this strong partner, you can do it boldly in the South Pacific."

The provincial government of the Australian province chose Zuo Maodi after the central research.

Zuo Maodi did a good job in Jilin Province and made remarkable achievements.This transfer from Jilin Province to Australia Province, although it is a flat transfer, and the transfer from a bitterly cold place to a hot place seems to be very hard work.But anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is a precursor to reuse.

After Zuo Maodi was transferred, Xia Yunyi took over as Jilin Provincial Government.

As for the provincial government of Nanyang Province, it was Fei Jinghong, Chen Zhi's secretary.

After this year, Hou Xun will step down from the position of prime minister, and Chen Zhi will be the replacement.

This personnel transfer can be regarded as the new prime minister making arrangements in advance.

Speaking of which, Hou Xun has been the Prime Minister of the cabinet for too long.It's just that in the period of the founding of the country, it can only be so under special circumstances.

The Center has decided that the term of office of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet will be fixed in the future.

This also represents the beginning of a period of stability in the administration of the empire.

After completing the inspection in Luzon, Zuo Menggeng returned to the voyage satisfied.

As soon as he arrived in the Zhoushan Islands, he received an emergency military report.

"Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang joined forces with the King of Burma to start a formal war against Sha Dingzhou and other chieftains. Sha Dingzhou failed to defend Heqing Mansion, and has now retreated to Dali. However, the Burmese army is not progressing smoothly, and suffered several defeats in the Yongchang Mansion area. , the plan for the encirclement of the two sides failed. According to the judgment of the Southwest Strategic Cluster, the outcome of the two sides will be in the Dali area. Once the two sides decide the winner, it is the best time to enter Yunnan. General Zuo Rong hopes to be authorized by the command, and now Start preparing."

In the absence of the National Defense Forces entering Yunnan for the time being, the three forces in Yunnan finally couldn't hold back and fought together.

After Mu Tianbo fled to the north of Yunnan, he sat in a sad city, and his life was getting worse day by day.

He is very eager to return to Kunming and continue to be his king of Yunnan.

But he didn't have any troops at hand, and the only one he could count on was Sun Kewang.

After Sun Kewang fled to Yunnan, he was full of hope to get Mu Tianbo's support.As a result, Mu Tianbo became a dog in the water, and the poverty in northern Yunnan made it even more difficult for him to maintain the army.

Under such circumstances, Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang quickly reached an agreement and decided to eliminate Sha Dingzhou.

They sent people to contact the Burmese army, and decided to carry out a left-right attack, so that Sha Dingzhou could take care of one thing and lose another.

Although Sha Dingzhou is insidious and cunning, he was born as a chieftain and has limited military skills, so he will deal with two attacks from two directions.

As a result, his strength was diluted out of thin air.

In the battle of Heqing Mansion, his chieftain soldiers were no match for Sun Kewang's Great Western Army.

Sun Kewang sent a troop to bypass Shibao Mountain and Foguang Mountain, and suddenly appeared in the back of Shading Prefecture, which made the Tusi soldiers panic.

They retreated hastily and were killed by Sun Kewang all the way, causing heavy losses.

It was only when we retreated to Dali that we could hold our ground.

Sha Dingzhou was terrified, and hurriedly dispatched Guest Tang to reinforce him, barely forming a confrontation with Sun Kewang and Mu Tianbo.

As for the west side of Yunnan, the chieftain soldiers and horses took advantage of the geographical advantage to hold back the Burmese army.

At the same time, Sha Dingzhou expropriated and seized wealth around Kunming, which has aroused public resentment.

He also knew that it was impossible to gain a firm foothold in Kunming, and he had already made up his mind to return to Mengzi's lair.

The small imperial court of the remnant Ming who had been stranded in the eastern Yunnan area was really overjoyed when they learned that Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang had gained the upper hand.

Emperor Yongli was terrified of the National Defense Army who was close at hand, and hurriedly urged his officials to get up and drive, intending to join Mu Tianbo and Sun Kewang.

However, the kings and ministers of the Remnant Ming Dynasty lacked the necessary understanding of Yunnan's geography, so they went to the southern Yunnan area that was ignored.

When they arrived at Lin'an Mansion, they were attacked by the local chieftain, and they were trapped by the Lihua River in a panic.

In front is the torrential river, behind is the vicious chieftain, and the remnants of the rulers and ministers complain that every day should not be done, and the land will not work.
