Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 461
Shen Youlong, the governor of Fujian, received an imperial decree from the Nanming regime in Nanjing, asking Fujian to support the Nanming court and send [-] Fujian Ming troops northward to support Nanjing.According to the imperial decree, Shen Youlong should take the lead in leading the Ming army in Fujian to merge with the Ming army in Hangzhou, and then destroy the Kyushu Army Marine Brigade that landed in Songjiang Prefecture, eliminate the threat from the direction of Suzhou City and Changzhou City, and finally support Nanjing City. Strengthen the defense force of Nanjing City.

This imperial decree was issued before the Kyushu Army stormed Zhenjiang Mansion, so the news has lagged behind, otherwise it may be that Shen Youlong was required to desperately come to reinforce Nanjing City and attack the Kyushu Army near Zhenjiang.

Shen Youlong received the imperial decree and said to the envoys sent by the Hongguang regime: "Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and the commander-in-chief of the four towns in Jiangbei, without the approval of the provinces and governments, arbitrarily supported King Fu as the throne, which greatly lost the hearts of the people. The governor and the people of Fujian are hard to obey."

"My lord governor, you are the governor of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the court is overthrown and treacherous officials and thieves are running across the north, it is a great time for your lord governor to lead the Fujian soldiers to the north to restore the Ming Dynasty! Didn't Mr. Shen hear that General Yue Feiyue in Song Dynasty was loyal? The story of serving the country? Or do you want to learn from the treacherous minister Qin Hui, seducing thieves and betraying the country?" the envoy of Nanming accused.

The words of the envoy of Nanming made Fujian officials stand up one after another. These words are too harsh, even the Buddha is angry when he hears them!

"You have to pay attention to your words and deeds. The scapegoat of treason can't be put on the heads of our Fujian officials at will!" Shen Youlong said angrily, "The Kyushu Army is originally an army of the imperial court, and it is not an outsider. have?"

"I'm afraid that the four towns in Jiangbei want to use the opportunity to support King Fu to ascend the throne, so as to strengthen their own power? Since they are so powerful, why don't they go to resist the Kyushu army by themselves, and come to our Fujian to recruit troops?"

"That's it. We in southern Fujian have been suffering from years of drought, and the people are struggling to survive. We don't know how much relief funds and relief food the imperial court has distributed. Now that there is a war, we want our folks in Fujian to fight the enemy. This is ours. What are the fathers and folks?"

The dissatisfaction of Fujian officials was endless, which made the envoy blush.Originally, according to his vision, the officials in Fujian should accept the imperial edict in fear and trepidation, and then take refuge in King Fu.But in the scene before him, it is obvious that the governor of Fujian and his officials not only disapprove of the so-called Nanming regime, but also have some resistance.

"You are bullying your ancestors, you will regret it!" The envoy threw up his sleeves angrily.

"No." Shen Youlong watched the Nanming envoy leave indifferently, not worried about the anger of the Nanming regime at all.

The precarious Nanming regime limited its influence in the Jiangnan area, and could not govern him, the governor of Fujian.More than two years ago, Xiong Wencan, who took office in Fujian, lost Xiamen Bay, which caused the Kyushu Army to establish a long-term stronghold in Xiamen Bay. He was dismissed by Emperor Chongzhen and replaced by Shen Youlong.

After Shen Youlong took office, he opposed Xiong Wencan's policy, and instead communicated secretly with the Kyushu Army to protect the interests of Fujian.It is also miraculous to say that due to the "collusion" with the Kyushu Army, Fujian, which has been suffering from drought for many years, has found an object to alleviate natural disasters. Although Fujian has continued to suffer from droughts in the past two years, it has stabilized a lot.This made Xiong Wencan, who later became the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, so angry that he was dismissed after being loyal to the imperial court and the Kyushu Army in Xiamen Bay. The military was rewarded by the court for their collusion?

Fujian officials sent the Nanming envoys away, but they also didn't care much.The four Jiangbei towns and the Jiangnan area controlled by Nanjing City only have one-tenth of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is not as large as the territory of the Kyushu Army.What's more, they have seen the Kyushu Army stationed in Xiamen Bay, and know that the quality of the Kyushu Army is not comparable to that of ordinary Daming Guards.

"King Fu sent envoys to recruit us. Do you want to discuss this matter with the generals of the Kyushu Army stationed in Xiamen Bay?" The first thing Fujian officials thought of was to inform the Kyushu Army who was an enemy of the Nanming regime.

"The governor personally got up and went there. The world is in chaos, and many forces are competing together. We in Fujian can't stay out of it. We always have to plan for the future..." Shen Youlong said.

In charge of the military affairs in Xiamen Bay is Li Yu, the deputy commander of the Nanyang Fleet, and an unknown young general promoted together with Deng Qianlong who is in charge.If it wasn't for the sudden emergence of the Kyushu Army, maybe he was just an unknown soldier in Dongjiang Town, but now he is the deputy commander of the Nanyang Fleet sitting in Xiamen Bay, deterring the Fujian Ming Army and Nanyang countries.Even Shen Youlong, governor of Fujian, can only talk to him at the same level.

"General Li, your Kyushu Army has helped us a lot after entering Xiamen Bay. If you hadn't organized a fleet to send the hungry people to Yizhou to open up wasteland during years of drought, I am afraid that the people who starved to death in the past two years, There is a huge amount of [-]. And you send troops to help us suppress the bandits and stabilize the order, so that we can reorganize the people to reclaim farmland and plant crops. Speaking of natural disasters, although they are huge, they are more afraid of people's hearts. Years of drought, It led to the rampant banditry, and the rampant banditry made the people unintentional to produce, and then the natural disasters became worse, and then there was a dead end in the land of southern Fujian." Shen Youlong said with emotion.

"We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and it's just a matter of little effort. Besides, Yizhou is not a dangerous place, and there are still large plains on the west coast that can be reclaimed. These hungry people will go to Yizhou to take root, and they will have a big harvest next year. Food can also feed back Fujian, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Li Yu said.

"I heard that Yizhou is a big island in the sea, but the local natives are not easy to get along with, and the journey to Yizhou is full of dangers, but I didn't expect that you could build a city and reclaim land in Yizhou." Shen Youlong said.

"This is thanks to the pirate leader Li Dan and others on the southeast coast a few years ago. They took the lead in organizing hungry people to go to Yizhou to open up wasteland. With their foundation, we are also very convenient. And we support the witches of the Gaoshan tribe to become local The spiritual leader of the natives, she communicated with the natives, and gradually the natives began to integrate into our civilization. In the land of Yizhou, you can fish and hunt, and you can also grow rice, soybeans, sweet potatoes and other edible food, and you can also grow sugar cane To produce sugar, it can be called a treasure island." Li Yu said.

"But I heard that the miasma is rampant on Yizhou Island, which is easy to breed mosquitoes. I'm afraid life will be very difficult." Shen Youlong said.

"This statement is wrong. In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu also had a poem saying: "A piece of paper will be played in the nine heavens, and it will be demoted to Chaoyang Road in the evening. Isn't the same miasma rampant in southern Fujian and Chaozhou in the past? As long as it has been cultivated and managed by people in the past dynasties , the barren land is no worse than the Central Plains."
