Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 166

From the perspective of future generations, Zhu Zhanji's behavior of abandoning Jiaozhi at that time is definitely a bad move. This move not only made the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties where Zhu Laosi sent troops out to become a foreign vassal again, but even made Ming's Nanyang strategy completely complete. crash.

But, it can't all be blamed on Zhu Zhanji.

After all, Zhu Laosi brought up the grandson of the emperor, and Jiaozhi was the territory that Zhu Laosi sent troops to conquer. It would be nonsense to say that Zhu Zhanji didn't want to keep Jiaozhi.

However, in the face of successive rebellions and primitive and backward transportation, the final situation is "one party is not calm, and the king's teacher is diligently working hard", coupled with the huge pressure in the later stage, Zhu Zhanji can only abandon Jiaozhi in the end.

Of course, if you want to hold Jiaozhi in your hands, there is actually not a single way. As long as I follow the example of my Taqing and Wo Nu, turning the whole Jiaozhi into a piece of scorched earth, you will naturally get Jiaozhi.

Anyway, what Daming wants is a cochin monkey, not a cochin monkey.

It's a pity that Daming's identity is the suzerain state - Daming is equivalent to his father, the counties and prefectures in Daming and the inner feudal fiefdoms are equivalent to his sons, and foreign feudal clans like Jiaozhi and North Korea are his sons.

No matter how unbelievable the bastard is, it is impossible for the father to burn down the bastard's house with a single fire, let alone kill all the members of the bastard's family.

From this point of view, the tributary system is indeed not as pleasant as the colonial system.

What's even worse is that the problems that Zhu Zhanji faced back then are basically the same problems that Zhu Jinsong is now facing.

Bai Ziqi's sand sculpture was massacred in Jiaozhi but failed to kill them all, which aroused the rebellious psychology of those remaining Yue monkeys. Daming declared at this time that Jiaozhi would be restored to the state and county system, and he could only force those Yue monkeys Completely fall for Ruan Fuying.

Similarly, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty may not be able to adapt to the climate and geographical environment of Jiaozhi.

If you have to say that Ming has any advantages, it is that Ming has a more advanced military system and attaches more importance to the navy. Relying on the superiority of the South China Sea Fleet on the sea, it is easy to occupy some ports in Jiaozhi.

This is very different from Zhu Zhanji's period.

Although the treasure ship fleet during Zhu Zhanji's period belonged to the maritime overlord class, the Ming court at that time seemed to never have thought of allowing the treasure ship fleet to participate in the war as an official army.

Similarly, none of the bigwigs in Daming at that time thought of relying on shipping to solve logistical problems.

Not only because of millions of water workers, but also because of the fear of trouble, especially if there is an accident at sea, the loss will be heavy, and no one is willing to take responsibility. In addition, there is such a shield as the ancestral system banning the sea, so the matter of sea transportation It has never been able to officially function.

However, the Ming court under Zhu Jinsong did not have this problem.

Ancestral system?

Who would dare to talk about the ancestral system with such an emperor who took the lead in rebellion, trained his own soldiers, and experienced battles but was victorious in every battle?What if you talk about the ancestral system with him and he talks about knives with you?
As the old saying goes, if you can't beat it, find a way to join.

All the bigwigs in the Daming Hall did not have the guts to sing against Zhu Jinsong, and the maritime trade of barbarians such as France and England really gave the bigwigs a taste of the sweetness, so this shipping was naturally taken seriously. up.

In addition, Zhu Jinsong has been investing money in the North Sea Fleet, East China Sea Fleet, and South China Sea Fleet, so the size and combat effectiveness of these three fleets are also considerable.

It is pure nonsense to say that it can strengthen the fleet of England, but isn't it just a matter of pinching the small sampans of Yuehou?

Having made up his mind, Zhu Jinsong summoned Zeng Cheng and other big shots into the palace.

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were also very excited.

Why are these bigwigs so excited?Why is Zhu Zhanji's move to restore Jiaozhi's status as a foreign vassal to be repeatedly mentioned, not only calling it Xuanzong's abandoned soil, but even comparing it to my Daqing, which must be cut and compensated even though it is far away?

Because I am aggrieved!

Before Zhu Yuanzhang established the Tangkou in the Central Plains, he first experienced the continuous loss of land during the Dasong, and then experienced the rule of the Mongol Yuan. The literati in the Ming Dynasty dreamed of repeating the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties and completely taking back Jiaozhi.

When Zhu Zhanji was about to abandon Jiaozhi, who was the most opposed?It was Xia Yuanji who was in charge of the Ming treasury, and who always complained that the treasury was empty!

If Zhu Zhanji hadn't abandoned Jiaozhi and Nurgan Dusi, this guy wouldn't be ridiculed as the cricket emperor.

For the same reason, these bigwigs under Zhu Jinsong are also eager to take back the cochin immediately!

"It shouldn't take much money to pacify Cochin, right? Our treasury will spend 3000 million dragon yuan first!"

"Our bureaucracy is not as rich as the national treasury, but the officials you need can be covered by us!"

"Our Ministry of Industry is also the same. The topographic map of the Jiaozhi Mountains and Rivers drawn during the Yongle to Xuanzong years was sorted out overnight tonight, and sent to the Five Army Commanders' Mansion early tomorrow morning-but, the Kunlun slaves over there, you have to do it first. Follow us to the Ministry of Industry."

"We don't have anything to prepare for in the Poor Ministry, and we don't need any Kunlun slaves, but it's no problem to allocate a batch of books. By the way, we will allocate a few more poor people, so that the next generation of Cochin people will have books to read."

Looking at these civil servants who were getting more and more excited, Zhu Erdan, the leader of the former military governor's mansion, was in a daze - it should be our former military governor's mansion who went to the front to kill people?Why are these civil servants more excited than Lao Tzu, Qiu Ba?
After thinking about it, Zhu Erdan patted his chest and shouted: "In three months, at most three months, our former military governor's mansion can guarantee that Jiaozhi will be completely pacified!"

Zhu Jinsong waved his hand, waited until all the bigwigs had calmed down, and said with a smile: "There is no need to make such a big fanfare."

"As soon as the army of the former military governor's mansion moves out, Bai Ziqi will surrender immediately, leaving Ruan Fuying alone, just take it easy."

After carefully discussing the details with a group of bigwigs, Zhu Jinsong published an article in the "Daming Newspaper" as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"I have been appointed by the heavens to rule and promote great achievements. Since I came to the throne, I only hope that all people will live and live, and I only hope that the world will be stable, and I dare not slack off for a while."

"The two thieves, Bai and Ruan, are now in chaos. They have trapped Jiaozhi in a war, and put the people in fire and water. I can't do it. I can only follow the will of heaven and follow the people's will. Send heavenly soldiers to fix Jiaozhi, and set up prefectures and counties to ensure people's livelihood."

"I'm going to suppress the rebellion. I hope that the generals and soldiers of the army will know my intentions and will not offend the people of Jiaozhi. As for Ruan, Bai and others, if they come to surrender early, they may not lose their positions as marquises; or if there are people who follow the bandits, they will not be blamed. , when the heavenly soldiers arrive, everyone must secure their homes and return to the rule of Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."

"If there is any stubborn resistance, as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, they will be crushed."

"Don't say it's unpredictable."

As soon as the new issue of the newspaper was released, the people of Ming Dynasty felt that they could not understand it—the current emperor published many articles in the newspaper, and all kinds of articles exposing my old background of the Tartars and teaching people to rebel were published. Another one.

The problem is that the articles of the emperor and his elders have always been written in vernacular. Even the edicts to the world and some official documents issued by the court are all in vernacular, so that all the people can understand them. An article about four parallels and six parallels, what is this going to do?
Of course, it doesn't really matter whether the people of Ming Dynasty can understand this article. The important thing is that Bai Ziqi and Ruan Fuying can understand this article.

Of course, Bai Ziqi didn't care. The first time he saw this article, he ran to the Zhennan Pass and surrendered with a white flag.

But Ruan Fuying yelled at the first time when he saw this article: "Shameless boy! I will give him a congratulatory form and ask him to ignore it, and let that bastard surnamed Bai mess up my Annan Jiangshan. Now that bastard named Bai can't hold on." Now, this little Zhu family wants to regain the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties? It's shameless!"

Ruan Fuying's son, the ten-year-old Crown Prince of Annan King Ruan Fujing stood in the "Palace Hall", timidly looked at Ruan Fuying who was burning with anger, and asked, "Father, do we... still have hope?"

Ruan Fuying's expression was stagnant, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Remember, Annan can only be Annan from our Annan people. The emperor of the Ming Kingdom cannot take Annan! If you don’t leave, the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty can’t take it away either!”

After Ruan Fujing nodded, Ruan Fuying looked at the French missionary Bai Duolu standing beside Ruan Fujing and said, "My king has something to ask Mr. Dobai Lu, and I hope Mr. Bai Duolu can agree to it?"

Bai Duolo nodded and said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Ruan Fuying looked at Ruan Fujing, then looked outside the "Royal Palace", and slowly said: "This king wants to ask Mr. Bai Duolu to send all of my sons to France to live temporarily, and wait until the mainland is repelled." Come back after defeating the Ming army?"

However, Bai Duolu just shook his head and said, "Sorry, I really can't help you with this matter."

Just when Ruan Fuying looked confused, Bai Duolu went on to say: "His Majesty the King of France has become an ally with the Emperor of Ming."

"The last time I brought my highness to France to ask for help, His Majesty the King of France has made it very clear that what belongs to Europe belongs to France, and what belongs to the Far East belongs to Daming."

"So, you should find a way to surrender to the Ming emperor, or you can find a way to defeat the Ming army."

"In short, France will never intervene, and it will never accept Annan people to go into exile in France, when..."

Before Bai Duolu could finish speaking, Ruan Fuying said angrily: "Since France is unwilling to help the king, then the king will not be difficult for Mr. Bai Duolu."

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, Ruan Fuying simply ordered to the maid at the side: "Come here, take Mr. Bai Duolu down to rest."

If this king has the confidence to defeat the army of the Ming Kingdom, why would you let you run away with my son and daughter?

Also, what did you French say before?

As long as a small island and a port are ceded, troops will be sent to the Far East to help the king fight.

Now that the king has agreed to cede the island and the port, not only did you France not send troops over, but you refused to take in the king's family?
And Ruan Fuying's attitude also made Bai Duolu unhappy.

I said that France will not accept you Annan people in exile, but did I say that the whole of Europe will not accept you Annan people?
Are you fucking going to drive people away before they finish talking?

Then I don't care about you anymore!
To your mother!

Bai Duolu angrily followed the maid and exited the so-called "palace hall", Ruan Fuying simply called all his confidantes over: "I tell you a sad news, that is, the retreat we studied before has been completed. It doesn’t make sense—Petolo said that France has formed an ally with the Ming Dynasty and will never take in our children, not even any Annan people.”

Hearing what Ruan Fuying said, all the bigwigs in Annan became excited and shouted, "Sure enough, these Xiyi are unreliable!"

"If you don't take it in, you won't take it in. At worst, let's arrange our family members to Siam first, and then fight to the death with the Ming army!"

"That's right! If you send your parents, wife and children to Siam first, you won't have any worries. Even if you die at the hands of the Ming army, you will have no regrets!"

Ruan Fuying also nodded, and said: "This king also thinks so. However, sending away the family will not change the fact that the Ming army is powerful. If you want to defeat the Ming army, you must obey my king's orders honestly."
