Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 193 Queen Ma’s handwashing water

The map is very detailed.

Mountains, rivers, landforms, and rainforests are all marked.

There are even signs explaining what kind of weather the area will encounter.

Including miasma, there are also signs.

Currently, only the talented people under Zhu Xi have the ability to create such a sandbox.

Xu Da looked at the sand table and pondered for a long time, then pointed to a hill and said: "If you want to lure the enemy's elite scattered in the rainforest to come out for a decisive battle, once and for all, you must occupy this place, and then cut off their north-south communication channel. In this way , within a month, the enemy army will definitely concentrate its main force to attack this hill. Of course, Srivijaya's troops are weak now, and they may continue to retreat, so we can also use this place as a stronghold and move around If it blooms, they won’t be able to bear it.”

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "As expected of my Lord Taishan, he has a ruthless vision. However, it is one thing to talk about war on paper, but it is also difficult to set up facilities. This hill is locally called Sigong Mountain, and we call it Hengduan Mountain. Because Its terrain just divides the entire northwest area of ​​Srivijaya into two parts, the north and the south, like a natural chasm, cutting across the middle. He Gui also had this idea before, but he encountered difficulties when attacking."

"Is it because of the weather?"

Xu Da said: "This place is close to the sea. It rains half the time every year. The roads must be muddy, and it is not conducive to combat. Especially the new equipment is really difficult to use. However, there is always a way."

"Then I'll ask my father-in-law to go to the Three Buddhas and take full command. I believe you are the only one who can convince them." Zhu Ping immediately gave Xu Da a high hat.

This area is relatively primitive, and it is also the last remaining land of Srivijaya.

All Srivijaya resistance forces have taken root throughout the northwest.

So the battle is very difficult at this stage.

Another point is the people’s support.

No matter how advanced he is, Zhu Ping's attack on Srivijaya is always an act of invasion by a foreign enemy. The local people are also more resistant to resistance and cannot get the support of the people. Some tribes even surrender on the surface but are secretly plotting. Guns, these are the difficulties the army is currently suffering from.

If you want to solve these many things, you really need good generals.

Among the three commanders of Zhu Ping's three-way army in Srivijaya, all three commanders lacked experience in this kind of battle.

Huang Wanfu is more than brave but lacking in resourcefulness.

He is decisive in killing, fierce and courageous. Such a person is just right for dealing with the aboriginal people of Australia.

Can suppress them very well.

Moreover, those tribes are relatively primitive and have no concept of united resistance, so it is easy to suppress.

But when it comes to Srivijaya, Huang Wanfu's shortcomings appear.

As for Huang Senping, he does have a brain, but he also lacks experience in this kind of grassroots work. Especially in the context of struggle, he inevitably has some preconceptions, which leads to many mistakes.

He Gui has more experience in this area, but not too much.

Moreover, he is not as brave as Huang Wanfu, and not as smooth as Huang Senping.

A little more moderate.

Now he has been transferred away by Zhu Xi.

The successor was cousin He Gui, who was even less experienced.

At this time, a commander-in-chief like Xu Da is indeed needed to provide unified command.

Xu Da was also very happy.

Because what he is good at is leading troops to fight.

It's just that he's not in good health.

However, during this period of time in Lingnan, the medical conditions were much better. Xu Da also recovered from some of his old problems for a while, and his body became much stronger. Zhu Ping sent a special medical team to him. He is not allowed to go to the front line sometimes, so he can just command remotely from the city.

After discussions, the ship arrived in Brunei.

On this small island, merchants from the Ming Dynasty and immigrants from the Ming Dynasty now account for more than half of the total population. This is because many local people from Brunei have been moved to Lingnan.Therefore, when the people heard that King Qin was coming, they went to the port to greet him.

It was a completely spontaneous act.

After all, in their hearts, King Qin was the god who led them to become rich and move towards the era of scientific and technological civilization!
It was King Qin who brought electricity to everyone.

It was also the King of Qin who allowed Brunei's mineral resources, including oil, to be developed.

It was also the King of Qin who made everyone rich.

The local tribes in Brunei also rushed to appreciate the various benefits brought by the roads extending in all directions, electric lighting and steam machinery, and they even worshiped Zhu Ping, the King of Qin, as a god.

It is said that a huge statue was erected specifically for Zhu Ping on the island, which became a local landmark.

And this building was built by the local tribal leaders in Brunei who pooled their money.

It can be seen from this that everyone is grateful to Zhu Xi.

Now that Zhu Xi is here, the entire Brunei Island seems to be experiencing a grand festival.

All factories and workshops on the island will have a three-day holiday.

People went to both sides of the road to welcome and worship the King of Qin, as if the King of Qin had become a kind of faith for them... Originally, there were many people who believed in Buddhism on the island, but under the impact of the population and technology of the Ming Dynasty, Faith also faded.

The Ming Dynasty is faith.

The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, is a god!
Many people on the island understand it this way.

Of course, there is another person and many people worship him.

Especially the local indigenous people feel the deepest gratitude to her.

She is King Qin's princess, Aisuda.

In the eyes of the local people in Brunei, it was the princess who married King Qin that made them his 'maternal family'. Then King Qin treated them so well and continued to develop the local area.

When all this news reached Queen Ma's ears, Queen Ma was extremely happy and smiled at everyone: "So, my son has become their statement, then what has become of me, the mother?"

"Mother."

Asuda solemnly relayed: "The common people all call the queen the mother of gods!"

"Oh, I don't dare take this seriously."

Queen Ma was modest, but she was very happy.

When everyone arrived at the palace, the local governor immediately came to report that the leaders of each tribe wanted to meet the queen and hoped that the queen would give them water to wash their hands...

This shocked Queen Ma.

"What is hand washing water?" Queen Ma was puzzled.

Zhu Ming smiled and said: "Queen Mother is the water you use to wash your hands. These people think you are the mother of gods, so drinking the sacred water you use to wash your hands is also a blessing."

Queen Ma was immediately speechless.

Is there any such statement?

Drink hand washing water too...

Not afraid of getting dirty?
"Okay, let them in!"

Queen Ma said that the handwashing water would be given to them.
