The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 805 Ding'an South

Zhao Dashan patted the table lightly and thought about it: "Are you guys still used to the weather here?"

"There are a lot of military doctors in the prince's army, and there are all kinds of herbal medicines and protective materials. The equipment is complete, and there is nothing wrong with it. The soldiers and horses who came first have been training here for more than a month." Ma Tao said proudly.

In order to cope with various dangerous environments and bad weather, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses are usually prepared to accompany doctors and various herbs, which is unimaginable for soldiers and horses from all walks of life before.

Zu Jinzhong and the others were shocked. Among the 3000 people in the first battalion, there were nearly 20 doctors and so-called nurses. Although they were incomparable with later generations, they were much better than they were before.

"How's the weather here?" Zhao Dashan asked again.

"In September, the rain in Yunnan began to decrease, and the weather became crisp and clear in autumn. This is the most suitable time to send troops, which is beneficial to our blunderbuss." Wu Chaozhong has been a lieutenant here for more than a year, and he knows the weather in Yunnan and Guizhou very well.

Zhao Dashan thought to himself, but Sha Dingzhou has not turned back yet.

Now rushing in to grab the wealth of Mu's family, the food is a bit too ugly, there is no reason, it's the same as Li Zicheng.

It's okay for Ding Yi to rob the clan. All civil and military officials in Ming Dynasty look down on the clan.

But it's a bit ugly for you to steal Mu Tianbo.

And Ding Yi also told him before coming here, don't act too ugly, so that Ding Yi is also going to be the emperor now.

"We have too many soldiers and horses in iron armor. It's still hot and stuffy to wear in this weather. Wait a minute, just let the troops get acquainted with the climate here." Zhao Dashan immediately decided to wait.

The generals are noncommittal.

Ding Yi was fighting Jian slaves in August, and the weather was hotter, so he didn't wear iron armor the same way.

At present, the soldiers and horses here are training in Guizhou, waiting.

Zhao Dashan himself is also familiar with the map of Yunnan, the situation of chieftains, and the number of officers and troops.

After the meeting ended, Ainengqi excitedly ran to Wang Shangli, Di Sanpin, Wang Hui, and Zhang Guangcui.

Everyone used to be a general of the Great Western Army.

The four of them are also very happy: "Vice General Ai"

"Deputy General Ai."

The four also thought that Li Dingguo and the others were dead, but they didn't expect that they were all still alive.

After everyone talked for a while, Brother Aineng said with a smile: "Tonight, let's have a drink together."

Wang Shangli was taken aback, and looked at Di Sanpin and the others. The four of them looked at each other with weird expressions.

Ai Nengqi felt a little depressed, everyone was good brothers before, but he didn't expect that after following Ding Yi for more than a year, the four people on the opposite side were obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

It seems that in Ding Yi's army, everyone is doing well.

"I'm calling General Zhao, Zongbing Ma, and Zongbing Zu." Ai Nengqi hurriedly said.

"Hahaha, it's okay, don't get drunk forever." Wang Shangli and the others immediately laughed.

What a joke, now the four of them are generals, they have finally changed from bandit soldiers to officers, and their treatment is very good, and their subordinates are all elite soldiers, who would have other thoughts, just thought that Ainengqi was trying to win him over.

In September of the 18th year of Chongzhen (1645), Annan.

In May, Li Dingguo went to Guangdong, and then sent troops suddenly under the false pretense that Liu Zongzhou and Guang Shiheng died in Annan.

In fact, Zheng Zuo of Houli at that time already knew that the Ming army was gathering troops in Guangdong, but Mo Chao and Longping were adjacent to the Ming army at that time.

Their Houli forces are still behind.

It was just unexpected that the Ming army not only did not go by land, did not attack Mochao and Longping, but also set out directly by sea, and then directly entered the branch of Hanoi from the Beibu Gulf of the Pacific Ocean, and entered the hinterland of Annan along the Red River, the Red River Plain.

When a large number of Ming warships entered like ants, the Annan people were shocked.

The Hou Li Dynasty once asked the Dutch gunboats to help them fight, never thought that it would be like guiding the way for the warships of the Ming army.

The captain of the Ming army went straight in, accompanied by Ming general Hong Yingbao, the commander of the Fan army Misa, and the commander of the Mongolian Manchu army Shuotuo. They all felt that all three-tier battleships could enter.

However, in order to protect the third-tier battleship, they did not enter in the end, and the rest of the ships entered one after another.

In June, the Ming army went to the west of Wenlin County and found a Red River waterway to land.

At this time, it was only forty miles away from Shenglong City.

This time Li Dingguo brought a total of [-] soldiers and [-] soldiers.

Among them, 5000 people were mobilized, including Hong Yingbao's [-] Han army, Misa's [-] Fan army, Shuotuo's [-] Mongolian-Manchu coalition army, Fujian's [-] Han army, and [-] soldiers.

Li Dingguo first sent 1 Han troops to occupy Wenlin County, [-] miles east of the Red River, and then hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and supplies to Wenlin County. Wenlin County has more than [-] local people. Hong Yingbao suggested that the All the people were expelled from the city, and they were organized to build a military outside the city.

Because June is the rainy season in Annan, and it may rain continuously in the future. If the offensive is not good, it needs to be defended. There should not be so many people in the city.

Li Dingguo remembered Ding Yi's words, listened carefully to everyone's opinions, and after studying it, he agreed to do so.

Hong Yingbao asked Shuotuo to choose a thousand Mongolian and Manchu coalition troops to monitor the work of the people. The people had great opinions and a strong sense of resistance.

After all, after the invasion of the Ming Dynasty in the Yongle period, it has always regarded itself as a kingdom of heaven and treated the local people well, so many people wanted to resist and did not obey orders.

Unexpectedly, the Manchurian and Mongolian allied forces were not used to them, and directly chopped off those who were disobedient. After cutting a batch, everyone was honest and worked hard to help the Ming army.

The June rainy season in Annan was a bit long. After Li Dingguo arrived, he did not move for more than ten days, and the whole army rested.

Zheng Zuo of the Hou Li Dynasty took this opportunity and quickly sent someone to find other people to help, indicating that the army had come in.

But Mo Chao ignored them, because he felt that the Ming army was helping them.

Zhancheng was far away, and he also felt that the Ming army did not provoke them, and it was only because the Ming envoy died in Houli that it was unlucky for Houli, so he ignored Zheng Zuo.

Only the Ruan family and Longping, one was split from Houli, and the other was with Houli. These three forces immediately mobilized troops and horses. In July, they gathered an army of 20, claiming to be [-], to attack the Ming army. .

Li Dingguo fought a defensive battle in Wenlin County, and the Annan coalition forces, which were bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces, fled in all directions.

In mid-July, Li Dingguo decided to exterminate them one by one.

First go north to attack Longping, which is relatively small, and destroy Longping in six days.

The local officials and generals who surrendered were all beheaded, and the surrendered soldiers would be sent to Tai O Province by ship to mine the mines. All the wealth of Longping was plundered.

As Ding Yi said to Li Dingguo, you must make money in war, especially in an enemy country. Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

Li Dingguo then attacked Houli again, and in mid-September, he broke through Thang Long City.

Under the catapults of the Ming army, there are no cities in this era that can be defended.

Zheng Zuo made a big mistake. At that time, he summoned all the soldiers and horses to defend Shenglong, and hoarded a large amount of food and grass in Shenglong. He thought that the Ming army would have nothing to do with him, and he could persist until the Ming army retreated.

And Ruan Shi also said that he would come to support them.

As a result, before the Ruan family arrived, Thang Long City was breached.

After Li Dingguo broke through Shenglong City, he beheaded the Houli royal family and all the nobles, officials, and generals, and searched their property. Then half of all the soldiers who surrendered were sent overseas to mine, and the other half were mine near the Red River.

Because the northwest along the Red River is the largest iron mining area in later generations.

There are many iron mines here in Annan, and there are oil and natural gas in the southern coastal areas.

Later, Li Dingguo basically followed this model. Officials and nobles were all beheaded, and the elite soldiers were dragged to mine.

Those who disobeyed will be cut off.

Houli was destroyed in September, Mo Dynasty in October, and Zhanping in November.

Li Dingguo sent troops in May, and started fighting in June. In about half a year, the five major forces in Annan were wiped out, and the officials in Annan were almost beheaded.

Killed more than 5 Annan soldiers and horses, and captured 12 alive.

Looting Annan's domestic wealth amounted to more than 5000 million taels of silver.

At this time, the big officials began to immigrate here, and took away a large number of Annan's upper-middle-class gentry, rich people, and scholars on the return journey. Annan, which was lost by the Ming Dynasty during the Xuanzong period, returned to the hands of the Han people.

Ding Yi changed his name to 'An Nancheng Announced the Department of Political Envoys, with 36 prefectures, 180 prefectures, and more than [-] counties.

According to the Shandong model, there are [-] officials in each county and [-] officials in each prefecture, all of whom are Han Chinese.

All officials are Han Chinese.

And from that year on, they immigrated from Dayuan and Guangdong non-stop, and on the return journey, they kept removing the locals.

Li Dingguo is temporarily the governor of Annan, and he is stationed in Saigon Port (later Ho Chi Minh City) with [-] soldiers and horses (including [-] sailors). Liu Wenxiu was the commander-in-chief of Tuolong (later Da Nang), leading [-] troops to garrison Da Nang. (Among them, the navy is [-].)
Li Dingguo brought only 3 troops into Annan, and there were more than [-] points left after the battle.

To garrison 8 soldiers, and add [-] more soldiers, [-] people are needed. The missing soldiers and horses are all drawn from the soldiers trained by Wu Sangui in Guangxi.

And let tens of thousands of soldiers lead their families to Annan.

This is equivalent to immigrating [-] Han Chinese into Annan at one time, which greatly increased Ding Yi's rule in the area.

Just after Li Dingguo occupied Annan, a large number of shipwrights and craftsmen rushed to Saigon Port and Da Nang. These two places will build shipyards and ports in preparation for the future attack on Southeast Asia.

This time, Ming's military front shocked the entire Southeast Asia, especially when they heard about the ruthless and cruel methods of Ming soldiers in Annan, the countries around Annan were terrified and sent envoys to the capital of Daming.

In late September, Ding Yi returned to the capital with a mighty army.

At this time, everyone in the capital already knew that after Ding Yi defeated Shengjing, 10,000+ soldiers forced Ding Yi to become emperor with death.

That day, many people 'spontaneously' went out of the city to welcome Ding Yi back. The moment Ding Yi entered the capital, tens of thousands of people knelt down and shouted long live. All the officials who came to welcome him saw what the people wanted.

The headlines on the front page of the 'World Affairs' newspaper that day, as well as the accompanying pictures, all said that Ding Yi conformed to the people's will, won the love of the people, and deservedly ascended to the throne.

Not long after Ding Yi came back, he first married princesses Zhu Yu and Zeng Rou of Kunxing.

Others in the capital began to prepare for the enthronement ceremony, and Ding Yi set the time for October [-]st.

Although the time was a bit tight, it took only three days in the Forbidden City to create a new emperor uniform for Ding Yi.

On the night of September 29, around seven o'clock.

A few days after getting married, Auntie Zhu is playing backgammon with a beautiful woman in the Pingyang Hall of Shouning Palace.

This woman is none other than Concubine Fan Hui, the former royal concubine.
