Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Fruit wine carried in glass bottles was used in the Ming army.

Not only did the people of the Yin tribe get hooked after drinking it, but they also regarded those transparent glass bottles as extremely precious treasures.

After all, these glass bottles are not only beautiful in appearance, but also can be reused to hold wine, etc., which is far more useful than the animal skin pouches used by the Yin people.

In addition, the most popular things among these Yin people are iron weapons and tools. A one-foot-long dagger can be exchanged for an equal weight of gold from the hands of the Yin people.

As for the light and soft cotton cloth and silk, they are even more invaluable treasures to the Yin people, and often only the elders of the tribe are eligible to enjoy them.

With such a huge gap in technology, the Ming army can exchange the gold in the hands of these Yin people into their own hands by taking out a little thing casually.

Therefore, Hu Guanzhu has long been familiar with gold.

Hu Guanzhu is now more concerned about two other things.

"No matter how much gold there is, they can't escape. Sooner or later, it will be ours!"

"Now we have conquered more than 1 tribes, and there are more than [-] men, women and children. Although they are still obedient and honest, we must not lag behind in our own strength!"

On this barren continent, apart from the weapons and technological strength possessed by the Ming army, another important criterion of strength is manpower.

Manpower is naturally the number of people.

The Ming army now has a total of 3000 people in the New World. In addition to the sailors who need to control and maintain the ships, many exploration personnel have to be removed. After a full battle, there are only [-] soldiers.

If Ming wanted to conquer this continent, it would not be possible to rely on immigrants from the Central Plains.

"In the next few days, you go to inspect the tribes you are in charge of, let them get ready, and explore the roads. For those new Yin tribes, if the leaders don't come to show their surrender, and don't come to offer young women, then they will all be regarded as Treat the enemy!" Hu Guanzhu said.

Although they defeated the Yin tribe not long ago, the young women sent by the Yin tribe are really hard to describe.

Because of the perennial hunting and gathering life, the living standards and health conditions of the Yin people are simply a huge disaster.

Moreover, they were all uneven in appearance. None of the soldiers of the Ming army wanted to sleep with an ugly girl in their arms. What's more, most of these ugly girls were savage by nature, smelled bad, and were dirty all over.

Anyway, the tribes of the Yin people are fighting each other, and they have no idea of ​​unity.

The Ming army only needs to push them lightly, and they can go out to fight and bring back many young female prisoners for Daming.

As for these wars of plundering foreign tribes, the Ming army often spent only some salt, simple iron weapons, or some cotton wine.

"For this attack, you will bring the officers and Baibu soldiers, mainly as supervisors and backups, and let Jin Linhu and other tribes be the vanguard!" Hu Guan continued to deploy.

The White Division is naturally the original White Bison tribe.

As the first tribe to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, they naturally received special treatment. Their status was higher than other tribes, and they belonged to the Yin tribe who could approach the core area of ​​the Ming army.

In this military expansion, the Yin people of the Bai tribe became good helpers of the Ming army.

"Let these tribes of the Yin tribe show their performance, pick out some reliable and obedient soldiers from among them, and join the Jinshan Regiment for military training!"

The Ming army is now too small in number. If you want to rule more Yin tribes, it is not enough to rely on only one white tribe. The more Yin tribes "lead the way" of various kinds, the better.

"All the supplies captured this time belong to the tribes of the Yin tribe who sent troops. The young women and children captured must be brought back. After we select, the rest will be rewarded to the tribes who sent troops!"

Such a silky method of colonial rule was beyond the imagination of the young general Hu Guanzhu.

Naturally, they were all taught by Zhu Han.

In history, these North American Indians did not have any concept of sympathy. After the British and French colonists landed on the North American continent, various Indian tribes contacted these foreign colonists one after another, and regarded these foreign colonists as their own. Other Indian tribes relied on to wage war.

Large numbers of Indian tribes were wiped out fighting each other.

After losing nearly one-third of the population, some Indian tribes formed a large-scale alliance to counter the colonization of Britain and France.

But at this time, everything is too late.

When Britain and France decide the outcome on the North American continent, the Indians also lose their value as fodder, and what awaits them is complete perdition.

of course.

As a benevolent Prince of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han would not do such a thing that would never be done to the Yin people.

The massacres and conquests being carried out in the Huguan residence now are all about Da Ming helping these barbaric and backward Yin people to become enlightened.

When Daming's core population and army in the New World are large enough, there is no need to use force to conquer and assimilate the Yin people, just wait for them to voluntarily surrender to themselves.

"In this battle, we don't ask for many victories and killings, as long as we can get enough women and children, and then let those tribes surrender!" Hu Guanzhu said with a look of compassion.

The other Ming army generals also nodded in agreement.

To be honest, these Yin people in the New World were too backward. Even if the Ming army defeated them, they would not have much sense of accomplishment.

However, some people still have some doubts about the strategy proposed by Hu Guanzhu.

"My lord, we are still useful in robbing women! Why are you robbing those Yin children?" a general asked.

The other generals also have the same doubts.

Hu Guanzhu chuckled, "Having a woman, besides sleeping and warming the bed, is not just giving birth to children, but there is no more than ten years from birth to raising these children, and these children will not grow up at all."

"If we can snatch those Yin children under the age of ten, raise them up with my Ming soldiers, and recognize them as adopted sons, it will only take three to five years to get a group of loyal young soldiers!"

"That is to say, it only takes three to five years to double the strength of my Ming Dynasty here!"

When the generals present heard this statement, they all praised him again and again.

"It's good to recognize the righteous son!"

"Children under ten years old are really easy to raise!"

"That's right, that's right. If you get older, you'll remember things and keep your grudges!"

"Boys grow up to be helpers, and girls grow up to be helpers and warm the bed, hahahaha!"

……

It has to be said that although the soldiers of the Ming army have strict military discipline, they are in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After coming to this wild land, there is not much kindness left in everyone's heart.

of course.

If Zhu Han saw the performance of these Ming soldiers with his own eyes, he wouldn't be too harsh on them, but would rather praise them.

Conquer is never tender and silent, never treats guests to dinner, never is so polite.

Only blood and profit can completely complete the conquest.

After a series of campaigns led by Hu Guanzhu, the Ming soldiers controlled a territory equivalent to nearly a province in the Central Plains with only less than 3000 troops.

Although it is thousands of miles away from Daming's hometown, it is a wild land.

However, the soldiers of the Protectorate of the Dongsheng Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty are all here happily.

When marching and fighting, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had armor, knives and guns made of fine steel, powerful firearms, and war horses that all the indigenous Yin people were afraid of. Every battle could be said to be devastating.

After returning to the fortress of the Ming army, the soldiers of the Ming army could eat unlimited beef, stewed beef, roast beef, fried steak, and shabu-shabu beef, which made the mouths of Ming zombies full of oil.

I'm even getting a little tired, I just want to take a bite of radish and greens.

It's a pity that the green vegetables, radishes and other grains on the Dongshengzhou side of the New World will not be able to start planting until the spring of next year.

After training, eating and drinking, each Ming soldier was assigned a good-looking Yin girl to warm her bed.

As for the daily chores, these young Yin girls will do them, and the Ming soldiers only need to focus on training and fighting.

It's just that the number of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty is too small, and the training speed of those Yin tribes who have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty is also very slow. These have greatly delayed the expansion of the Ming Dynasty in the new continent of Dongsheng Prefecture.

When Hu Guanzhu sent a communication ship to the imperial court, he specifically explained to the imperial court the favorable conditions of Dongshengzhou New World in detail, in order to allow the imperial court to send more soldiers.

The New World where Hu Guan lives is, after all, a barren land, which belongs to the standard sparsely populated land.

Moreover, the local natives are very backward, and simple training is also very difficult for them to master.

Hu Guanzhu always wondered if these Yin people could learn the etiquette culture of the Central Plains.

I'm afraid that it only takes one year for me to turn this piece of land into the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Hu Guanzhu regretted that the Yin people in the New World did not master the culture of the Central Plains.

But in another place, Zhu Han was worried... Some people learned too much of the Central Plains culture, which caused a lot of trouble for the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains.

This place is An Nanguo located in the south of Daming, and it is also Vietnam that now calls itself Dayue.

In history, Vietnam did not use this name as the country name until the Qing Dynasty. In fact, they have called themselves "Dayue" in all dynasties, and the monarchs also called themselves emperors at home. Only when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, they called themselves "Dayue" Annan.

Since the turmoil in the world at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the people in this land of Vietnam have absorbed a large amount of Central Plains culture under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the regional strength has grown rapidly. They defeated the Southern Han regime in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and even invaded Guangxi in the Northern Song Dynasty. , the ambition is getting bigger step by step.

When the Mongols wiped out the Southern Song Dynasty and went south to attack Jiaozhi, they also suffered a big loss in the rainforest battle.

Successive victories have made the Vietnamese regime extremely arrogant.

Today's Vietnam is in the period of the Chen Dynasty in history. The monarch is called Chen Wang, and in Vietnam's history it is called Chen Xianzong.

Because Vietnam has an excellent rainforest environment, the troops in the Central Plains are often unacclimatized and suffer a large number of casualties when they enter the country.

Chen Wang, the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, was not too afraid of the flourishing Ming Dynasty, so he made a series of magical operations that seemed unimaginable to Zhu Han.

Fujian, Quanzhou port.

The Ming Fleet led by Zhu Han is replenishing at the port.

The distance from Yingtianfu to Quanzhou Port was not too far, so the fleet's supplies were naturally not consumed too much.

The ships of the Ming army mainly replenished goods in Quanzhou Port. Fujian is a world-renowned tea producing area. Although Zhu Han's voyage to the West this time has military purposes, the hard currency of Ming tea cannot be left behind.

"You don't need to pack too much, just choose some tea foam that is the most resistant to storage and transportation!"

After inspecting the inventory of Quanzhou Port, Zhu Han immediately said to the officials of the Port City Shipping Department below.

China's tea is the only one in the world. In history, it was not until the British stole tea seeds in Fujian and planted them in the Indian colony that tea had another important origin.

In this era, tea is still the only hard currency of Ming Dynasty.

It's totally a seller's market.

Zhu Han didn't even bother to offer good goods to Ah San and Erdao dealers.

"Your Highness, Sapphire's boat has arrived!"

Zhu Han had just inspected the warehouse in Quanzhou Port, and received a notification as soon as he left the house.

"Sapphire is fast enough!"

Zhu Han smiled and patted the tea foam left on his hands and said.

Lan Yu was originally the general of Daming's garrison in Wa.

With Zhu Han's considerate help, the concubine Fujiwara of the Southern Dynasty of the Japanese Kingdom had given birth to a second child within three years.

He has long been accustomed to the peaceful and prosperous life of Ming Yingtian, and he is unwilling to return to the poor and remote Wa country.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Han did not hesitate to directly suggest to his elder brother Zhu Yuanzhang to destroy the Wa Kingdom.

It's just that the geographical environment of the Wa country is basically mountainous and hilly, and the various forces in various places are divided into one side.

Therefore, Zhu Han personally formulated a plan for the demise of the Japanese kingdom, and adopted the slow method of cutting flesh with a knife.

Gather the Koreans and Jurchens who were vassals of the Ming Dynasty to fight with the Wa people.

Both the Jurchens and the Koreans have relatively inferior military discipline. In the process of conquering the land of the Wa Kingdom, they can naturally reduce some of the inferior population of the Wa Kingdom.

For a talent like Sapphire who has the potential to be a famous general, it would be too wasteful to fight such a bad battle.

So Zhu Han transferred Lan Yu to his side and asked him to go to the Indian mainland with him to test Ah San's strength. If possible, let Lan Yu be the commander of Ming's East India Garrison in India.

After Zhu Han came to the port, he immediately saw the blue jade in front of him.

"The last general, Sapphire, has met His Royal Highness King Guoying!"

Lan Yu led several of her generals to salute Zhu Han.

"You boy, have you gained so much weight? Can you still ride a horse?"

Zhu Han saw that Lan Yu was at least [-] or [-] catties fatter than before. It can be seen that he lived a very happy life in Wa Kingdom. Eight or nine daughters of Japanese aristocrats were accepted as concubines, and more than ten children have been born.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I haven't let go of all my abilities! There is absolutely no problem in fighting bandits for Your Highness!"

Sapphire hurriedly said loudly.

As soon as he heard that Zhu Han wanted to transfer him to his side, he immediately took the fastest boat to Quanzhou to join Zhu Han.
