Win the Ding 1617

Outside the Hue Palace, facing south is a huge square, which is as flat as a mirror and as hard as iron rammed with triadic soil, and a thick layer of mortar mixed with burnt ash, sand, and stones was laid on top of the triadic soil. It is more solid and flat.According to the layout of the front and back palaces, this is also the place where the personnel of various yamen and offices come in, come out and stay. In addition to training for the Guards Brigade and Hue City Defense Force, it is also used for holding various celebrations and conferences.

On the east and west sides of the square, there is a huge gate with four pillars and three gates. Outside the gate, there are two huge bulletin boards.Any new decrees and laws of the Duke's Mansion are submitted to Li Shouhan for review, printed, and printed in the office, and then they are first posted here, and then published in full on the Nanzhong Daily, and posted inside and outside the city. Sent to various places to announce.

Therefore, this is the official news release platform of Nanzhong. Groups of people often gather under the bulletin board, waiting to read the news, and go back to show off in the teahouse and restaurant.

Today was no exception. Hundreds of people gathered outside the Dongyuan Gate, staring intently at the notices on the bulletin board that were printed in huge type on white linen paper that was three feet long and two feet wide.From time to time someone read aloud.

"For public announcement, riots in Ha Tinh, Chao Phraya River and other places were quelled for rewards and punishments."

"...The Japanese laborers Taro, Jiro, Goro and others were loyal to the king's affairs, took the initiative to attack, protected the factory with the tools in their hands, and killed several rebels and bandits. Upon the request of a minister, they will be recorded as military exploits. In addition to rewarding silver In addition to rice cloth, the naturalization period will be reduced by one year!"

"These dwarfs from the Japanese country have copied it! Killed the thieves, protected the factory from loss, not to mention keeping their own jobs, and made a contribution in front of the lord. And everyone lost a piece of money." One-year inspection period!" Someone in the crowd commented on the announcement.

What this notice said was Li Shouhan's reward to those Japanese laborers who helped to quell the riots in Hejing, Chao Phraya River and other places.During the riots in Hejing, when hundreds of thieves outside were hustling and preparing to attack the factory, the shopkeepers of the factory were flustered and at a loss. The laborers who were waiting for the rough work picked up all kinds of tools in their hands without saying a word.Those with convenient conditions took some of the sharper tools in the factory in their hands, rushed out of the field with a shout, and slashed and killed those Annan thieves who were holding stones in their hands and were about to attack the factory.

Poor those thieves who only have stones in their hands, how can they be the opponents of these former samurai of the Japanese country, and at the worst, the laborers of the Japanese country?Just now he was still full of arrogance, but in the blink of an eye he was crying for his father and mother.

The situation in the Chao Phraya River Basin is similar, but the difference is that the Japanese workers who rushed out did not hold various production tools in their hands.Instead, it was Yishi's rubber tapping knife, or sickle, pitchfork, etc., chasing and killing dozens of miles in one go, killing all the gangsters in one fell swoop.

"Baga! You red deer! It's so easy for us to find a job where we can eat white rice, roast meat, and smoked fish casually. We can also earn Tongbao and go home. Let your red deer be destroyed. Fighting hard with you, that's when your brain gets kicked by a donkey!"

"My lord, this hand is so powerful!" An old man who shook his head and stumbled through the crowd read the notice.Twirling his beard, he showed off with a rather unique and mysterious expression.

"He Lao Liu. Tell me, why is the lord so powerful?!" The people who knew him next to him were a little impatient, and asked him to share his opinions with everyone.

Among the teahouses.

That He Laoliu triumphantly enjoyed the fragrant tea and snacks called out by the crowd, but he just put on a set of scores, and couldn't stop talking about these daily acquaintances and friends.

"I asked you to read more of our Nanzhong newspapers and the various official documents published on them. You just don't listen."

"Yes yes yes! Brother Six is ​​right! What do you mean the lord rewards these dwarves?"

"Usually, if those Japanese laborers were to be naturalized, wouldn't they have to work hard for ten years in the farms and on the wharf in the mountains? It would also take five years in places like mines and smelting plants? Now these people rely on their military exploits, The severed head of the bandit is a military head worth a year of hard work. If it were you, what do you think?"

"That's needless to say! If there is any trouble again, it's just that I can't live with my job!"

"Yes! It's also for Lao Tzu's military merits!"

"Hey! One year's hard work can be worth a year of hard work with the head of a rebel. How many laborers from the Japanese country do we have in Nanzhong? There are so many unnaturalized natives? I'm afraid that if someone plans to make trouble in the future, first I was torn to pieces by these people as military merit!"

"That's right! The last paragraph of the announcement said that all places in the Southern Guangdong Army will follow this rule! That is to say, no matter where the rebels are, as long as they are rebellious, everyone can get them and punish them. Change military exploits!"

"Hey! I heard that when the second county horse arrived in Java, there were more than 3 Japanese soldiers under his command. If they all did this, this second county horse was given the nickname the Great Demon King of the Sixth Heaven! Don't you kill Java?"

"Empty? No! If the kill is empty, the lord will have to turn his face against him! After all the kills, where can we find our official slaves? Those mines are very important!"

"However, there are advantages to killing all of them! We can go to Java to reclaim whatever we want!"

People were discussing in a hurry in the teahouse, and naturally there would be no formal resolution.However, almost everyone ignored a notice next to the notice board. "In order to tell all kinds of armed groups to disarm and wait for dispatch", this notice ordered all kinds of militias and militiamen who appeared in the Nanzhong chaos to put down their weapons immediately and go to various government offices to wait Order, prepare to sever.At the end of the announcement, he said very plainly, "If you don't disarm within the time limit, do you want to be with the thieves?"

It was completely like an older brother's questioning tone to his brothers who were not very obedient. No one noticed the crisis and murderous intent in it.

But this is in line with the consistent tradition of the Southern Cantonese Army. The greeting is on the head. Don't blame me when the time comes. The so-called "don't say it is unpredictable!"

These people in the teahouse may not be able to figure out the information revealed by these two notices even if they think about it.As well as the Zheng Sen they mentioned, as well as the more than 3 Japanese mercenaries under Zheng Sen's command, what kind of huge consequences will these factors add up to in areas with serious rebellions such as Java and Sumatra.

The heads of rebels can be used as military merits. In addition to the normal military merit rewards, they can also be used as labor time before naturalization. Moreover, various armed groups in areas with rebellion.Anyone who refuses to lay down their weapons and wait for dismissal within the stipulated time is equally guilty of rioting and thieves.What kind of situation would this be in the eyes of more than 3 Japanese mercenaries who were hungry and crazy, and their eyes were red when they wanted to be naturalized?

Java Island, although it is only one of the larger islands among the islands belonging to Java Island, is comparable to Irian Island with an area of ​​78.5 square kilometers, Kalimantan Island with an area of ​​73.4 square kilometers, and Sumatra Island with an area of ​​42.5 square kilometers. It is much smaller than it is, but it is densely populated, almost half of the population of this Java Road lives.

The city of Batavia is located on the northwest coast of Java Island.It has already been handed over from the Dutch to the Nanyue Army, and it has become the core of power for the Nanyue Army to govern this area.This city, which is called "Jakarta" by the local natives and the so-called "fortress of glory", is called the Coconut City by the Chinese because of the forest of coconut trees.However, because it took a short time to accept it from the Dutch, it is still called the old name of Batavia City in the official documents.

Dozens of cannons were added to the head of Batavia City, and hundreds of military flags were densely planted.At the highest point of the castle, two huge handsome flags fluttered side by side.That was the banner of Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi.

"I don't accept it. Let me go, I don't accept it..."

With a series of hoarse shouts, an official was dragged out of the castle lobby by two big men. Behind him, Zheng Sen watched him leave with expressionless eyes, as if watching a tree that was about to be killed. The firewood put into the stove is average.

Wu Liuqi also looked at the official with a sneer.Then he laughed at himself and said: "Unexpectedly, under the lord's rule, there are such idiots who die without knowing the reason. Well, occasionally there are flightless birds in the eagle's nest. But the eagle will fall to death if it cannot fly. If you are an official in Nanzhong, you don’t know the principles. Then you will die.” After the voice gradually faded away, Zheng Sen said to Wu Liuqi: “It’s a trivial matter for him to live or die, but he made a big start. The chieftain and the Sudan organized a rebellion. Insufficient troops, we could either ask for reinforcements from the top, or recruit and mobilize young men on the spot, at least a confrontation situation is possible. But this guy, seeing the Christian Calvinists organizing religious militias, fighting with those sultans, fighting with each other Not only did he not immediately send troops to stop the suppression, but he also issued a commendation order to them. As a result, these people had no fear, recruited a large number of troops, burned churches, temples and Buddhist halls everywhere, and even burned down the Taoist temples that were indifferent to the world. Recently, it has become more serious. They simply robbed the good people and forced the good people to join the Protestant religion, or they would kill the whole family. This forced other sects to use the teachings as a call to organize their own militia armies, forming a lot of sects on the ground of this Java road, and it is difficult to separate the government from one side. The situation, all of these, are caused by this guy who didn't restrain himself at the beginning, and didn't kill the spearhead in the cradle."

Wu Liuqi also gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "My lord has made a decree that religious groups are prohibited from owning private troops. And he let go of this just because of Protestant promises to help the government suppress it. Now that the chaos has been created, if we don't I’m afraid it’s not good enough to kill a killer. So I suggest imitating Taiwan’s experience immediately, organizing people to build road blockhouses, forming a cage as soon as possible, and then blocking trade, forcing them to jump out by themselves.”

Zheng Sen shook his head and said, "No, this place is different from Taiwan. Taiwan is a newly naturalized land. There are many naturalized people, few Han people, and few naturalized people. Moreover, the sea routes are completely blocked by us. Therefore, we only need to distinguish between stubborn wait-and-see and support. We can succeed in one fell swoop. The situation in Java is far more complicated than that in Taiwan. There are various local kings and officials here, as well as the government of Nanzhong. The economy in China is also extremely important. We can neither achieve a complete blockade nor consume it for a long time. At the same time, our troops seem to be many, but if they are scattered, they will be at most one battalion per county, and the rebels will There is no shortage of firearms, and the combat effectiveness is not weak, so Taiwan’s experience is not feasible.”

As soon as he said this, Wu Liuqi immediately became dejected and talked about fighting.Ten Zheng Sens are no match for one Wu Liuqi.But when it comes to dropping book bags and understanding the geographies, local conditions and customs of a certain military base, three or five Wu Liuqi who have not read much are bundled together, and they are not a famous teacher hired by his father since he was a child, and one-on-one tutoring is carried out. Later, he worshiped Zheng Sen's opponent who studied under Qian Qianyi.Just ask, if Zheng Sen's knowledge is not enough.Even if Yanqing Qian Qianyi, the prodigal son of the ingenious star with high eyes, would not accept such a sea merchant student as a student if he was killed.It is precisely because he was born in a family of maritime merchants like Zheng Zhilong that Zheng Sen is very familiar with the religious, political, geographical and other environments in Java and other places.The local rulers of Java have always paid attention to absorbing foreign cultures, religions, and political forms, and they also occupy geographically convenient conditions. They are located at the intersection of the Confucian civilization in the Central Plains, the Islamic civilization in Central Asia, and the Hindu civilization in South Asia. There was a prosperous Buddhism here. And the Hindu Kingdom, from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Muslim merchants began to introduce Islam to this area, and with the wave of geographical discovery came.European powers brought Christianity, plus native religions, as well as Chinese Buddhism and Taoism brought by immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong. Various religions criss-crossed and took root in this land.

Religion is so complicated, but the natural environment is even more astonishing.Thousands of islands, large and small, are scattered on this vast ocean, becoming the main traffic route from Nanzhong to Shizhou.

"Mr. Xu Xiake, Mr. Xu, has exhausted several years of work, mobilized dozens of ships with the manpower of thousands of people, and carried out surveys and surveys on this ocean. From here to Shizhou, there are hundreds of islands of all sizes available for the fleet Replenishment! Without these islands, how could the ten states immigrate tens of thousands of people within a few years?"

Hearing Zheng Sen mentioning Shizhou, Wu Liuqi's eyes immediately shone with strange brilliance.Among the tens of thousands of people that Zheng Sen mentioned just now, there are people from his hometown and clan.After these people arrived in Shizhou, they also wrote him a letter, which introduced him to this huge land.

To give impetus to immigrants going to ten states.Li Shouhan specially promulgated special regulations. Those who go to the ten states are not limited to [-] mu of land per person. As long as you can take care of it, you can grow it.Even if there is a thousand hectares of land under one's name, the officials don't care.As soon as this regulation came out, it immediately made countless people salivate!

"My brother, you must know that here is an adult man who walks along the coast day and night. Even after a year's work, he may not be able to walk a circle! Brother, it will take more than a month to travel by fast boat."

Sooner or later, there will be another piece of fertile ground for the Southern Guangdong Army!

However, the land under your feet is also fertile soil!

"This place can be said to be a treasure land given by God to my Lord and our Southern Guangdong Army!" First, he made an overview. Zheng Sen dug out the correspondence with Mr. Xu Hongzu and Mr. Xu, and began to carry out literacy activities for Wu Liuqi and others.

"The islands in Java have a lot of forests! If you look at the past, you can see the ancient forests that block out the sun all day long. The forest area occupies more than [-]% to [-]% of the area! It is rich in various tropical and precious tree species, such as ironwood, sandalwood, and ebony. Trees such as Japanese and sleeve trees are good choices for building houses and boat furniture."

"This place is located in the sea and the surrounding sea area is vast. It is a paradise for all kinds of fish. Not far from here is a sea called Bagan Siabia on the east coast of Sumatra Island. It’s a famous big fishing ground. Even if we get tens of thousands of fishing boats to fish together, it’s probably a drop in the bucket!”

"The climate here is humid and rainy, the sunshine is abundant, and the crop growth cycle is short. In addition to being suitable for planting rice, it is also suitable for planting the so-called cash crops of the Lord! Such as palm, rubber, coffee, cocoa. If we cut down the trees in the forest If it is built into a ship, built into a house, and then planted on the original site, this kind of economic crop, wouldn’t it be a cornucopia for future generations?”

Zheng Sen's introduction to the many islands in Java has already stirred up the emotions of the generals of the First Mixed Brigade, and even the emotions of the Japanese mercenaries have been mobilized!

"Ruo Dianyang! If I have made great achievements in this conquest for the Great General, can we join this land? Share with your family the illustrious military exploits of Ruo Dianyang and General Wu! Together with all the generals! Happy farming and living on this fertile land?!"

"As long as you fight hard for my lord, when will my lord treat you badly?" Facing dozens of Japanese mercenary leaders from different Wa kingdoms, Zheng Sen waved the folding fan in his hand quite proudly.

"However, if you want to find a piece of land for your family and descendants in this land of abundance, you must first deal with the thieves here!"

Seeing that the topic of the meeting has been changed for a long time and then returned to the original point, Wu Liuqi, who just proposed to follow the prescription according to Taiwan's experience but was refuted, was a little disappointed and said: "Then what should we do? It will never be possible to learn from the government and the army to suppress the bandits. The big net that leaks the wind, and then scare the bandits away for a while and then go back to receive the reward?" Zheng Sen smiled and said: "It's really the same, let me ask you, Brother Ang, if you fish in the pond, you must let it dry. It’s the easiest way to catch fish in the water. But what do you do if you want to catch fish in a big river?”

Wu Liuqi didn't understand what he meant, so he had to say: "Of course you have to use a fishing rod, or spread a net everywhere. In the end, the river and the lake will be full of nets, so the fish can't escape." Wu Liuqi seemed to understand something immediately after he finished speaking. He also said: "You mean, we put up a few more nets, the government and the army encircled and suppressed two or three roads, and we set up seven or eight roads, so the chances of success are much higher." Zheng Sen waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Where are the seven or eight roads?" That's enough, if we want to come, let's make ten routes, preferably dozens of routes, so that even if they have the ability to transform into birds, they won't be able to get out. I have already thought about the plan, and it happens that the lord has already equipped us with a staff Now, the staff office has drawn up a plan that I am quite satisfied with. I invite everyone to come today to let everyone see if there are any omissions in this plan. This is also in accordance with the lord's usual military democracy and Zhuge Liang's practice. make arrangements for!"

As he said that, Zheng Sen took out a battle plan, and Wu Liuqi and the others became more and more appalled the more they read it. Of course, he also put forward some opinions of his own.As a result, bursts of creepy laughter came from the government from time to time, making people's hairs explode.Then Zheng Sen said with a smile, "This battle can be summed up in four words, and that is Battle of Embers!"

(When the unkind author wrote this, when he was about to release it, there was a sudden gust of wind, and then a bald short man wearing glasses appeared in front of the author, and said in Mandarin with a strong Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent: "Do you want to pay some copyright fees? Already?" While looking for copyright fees from the author, the bald dwarf complained with snot and tears against a certain organization that plagiarized his masterpiece but didn't pay a dime for the copyright fee.

A certain unscrupulous organization not only plagiarized his masterpiece, but also used the technical and tactical results he painstakingly summed up for the same purpose as him, and achieved brilliant results that made him, the original creator, envious. The bandits who were wiped out were completely wiped out, and they also achieved an almost abnormal casualty ratio between the enemy and the enemy, one to two thousand!Not only did he refuse to give money, but he also kept making sarcastic remarks to run on him.

"Not only did they not give me copper coins, but their leaders always wrote articles, released reporters' questions, and talked with the spokesperson every now and then. They wanted to protect my old friends and hand me over for their public trial to vent their anger! Could it be that they were in my hands back then? You have suffered a bit! As for making such a fuss out of a molehill to avenge your own personal revenge?!"

Speaking of the excitement, the bald dwarf grabbed the author's front, "You have plagiarized the method of President Yuan, the method of Empress Dowager Cixi, and the method of Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Yongzheng's father and grandson! If you don’t go there, don’t give me copyright royalties, and you don’t want to publish it today!”

"Which one came to ask him for the copyright fee?" A Hunan accent spoke out the door in a drawl, "I just ate a bowl of braised pork, and you sneaked in?!"

Hearing this, the bald dwarf immediately turned extremely pale, and was about to speak when the Hunan accent outside the door spoke again, "I can't find you everywhere, your old friend has hidden you tightly again, Even his bald eagle master was fooled, and I didn't want to meet you here today! It seems that this unscrupulous author is still a good hand at leading snakes out of their holes!" Hearing this, the bald dwarf couldn't care less, and screamed With a sound, it turned into a gust of demon wind and went away! ) (to be continued..)

ps: Guess who is that bald dwarf?Guess the prize!
