Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1267 Malacca surrendered

After the cabinet made an agreement, it began to order and implement. The nearly [-] Mongols captured by the Ming army and the [-] Mongols who surrendered were organized into [-] guards by the Ming Dynasty and distributed in the Monan and Horqin grasslands.

However, because there are only more than [-] people left, and their strength is far weaker than that of Mobei Mongolia, in order to avoid being annexed by many tribes in Mobei, these guards can only be distributed near the Great Wall and Liaoning, and cannot control the entire Monan and Mongolia. The Eastern Mongolian grasslands, many former pastures, have become no man's land.

Of the millions of cattle and sheep harvested in the Ming Dynasty, 40 sheep were kept by the Ministry of War, 20 sheep and [-] cattle were sold to the people, and the rest were handed over to the Mongolian guards for graze.

Of the 40 head of the Ministry of War, only 30 head was taken away and distributed to the towns, and the other [-] head was also handed over to the Mongolian guards for stocking. However, in the next three years, the guards need to send [-] cattle and sheep to the Ministry of War every year. Three years later, the Ministry of War will be able to buy [-] cattle and sheep each year at market prices for the army to consume. However, mutton is actually not suitable for soldiers to eat. However, the Ministry of War will encourage each guard to raise more beef cattle in the future.

If this method is implemented well, not only will the horses of the Ming army not have to worry about it, the cavalry will be strengthened, and the physical fitness of the soldiers will also be improved.

When reorganizing the tribes and captives, several Taiji and important nobles in the Mongolian tribes were sent to Nanjing, and they were given houses and fields to support them. The Mongols who were selected as thousands of households in the guard house were sent to Nanjing. A son or brother must be sent to Nanjing to learn Chinese characters, Chinese and military affairs, which is to be taken as a hostage and to train them.

After all, there are only a small number of Mongols who belong to Ming Dynasty, and they belong to the weak side on the grassland. In addition, they are divided into several guards, and their power is even more dispersed. They are easy to be targeted by other big tribes, so they need to improve their ability to protect themselves.

Otherwise, after the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of time cultivating it, it would be annexed by other unsubjugated tribes, and it would not serve as a barrier for the Ming Dynasty, so it would be a waste of effort.

After organizing the guards and dividing the pastures, the imperial court ordered all the Mongols who belonged to them to be granted the status of Guiyi, and then bestowed Ming Ji according to their performance.

At this time, according to the order, the head of Fulin, first of all, was passed on to these Mongolian guards, and Nurhachi was originally a domestic slave, but he rebelled against the shameless act of killing the lord, so as to alert the Mongolian guards.

After the Mongolian pass, the head was passed to the Manchu captives who were building Jinzhou City, so that they would have no desire to resist, and honestly atone for their sins. From now on, like Gui Yibo Tan Tai, they will earn a good status and start a new life.

These captives, who worked day and night, actually had some illusions about the glory of the Qing Dynasty, but when they saw the heads of Fulin and others, they were completely desperate.

When the Ming Dynasty was ruined and its family was destroyed, there were loyal people who wept blood and pain. In fact, there were also other ethnic groups. When many Manchus saw the head of their emperor, some could not help crying, and some even committed suicide because of it. Most people quickly return to normal after being hurt and go back to work.

After all, compared with Fulin's death, their current situation is still more important. If they cannot complete their daily tasks, they will have no food to eat.

When the head is passed to the pass, it is very festive, just like a festival. The transfer of the head from city to city slowly spread from the north to the Jiangnan area.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty also replied to Wu Keshan, allowing him to lead his troops to return to Horqin, but he and the nobles of Horqin must go to live in Nanjing, and the tribe will be handed over to the Ming Dynasty for adaptation.

Entering Nanjing is tantamount to house arrest. Wu Keshan can't accept this, and he is Fulin's uncle after all, and the queens and concubines of the Qing Dynasty are her relatives. Will Chao really let him go.

If he lived in Nanjing, he would have trouble sleeping and eating, and he would not feel at ease for a day, so he would not go to Nanjing.

However, they had reached the point where they were killing horses to satisfy their hunger. Finally, after discussions, more than 2 Horqin people gathered near the Yuerhai Lake, leaving most of their supplies. 5000 people followed Wu Keshan's brother to accept the Ming Dynasty Conditions, moved back to Horqin, bringing the number of Mongols who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty to 12.

This number, plus the Mongolian tribes who surrendered in the Qinghai area, then at least 15 people became Guiyi.

Wu Keshan did not accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty in the end, but he also bought a way of life for more than 5000 Horqin people who were about to run out of food.

After the main force moved back to Horqin, Wu Keshan took less than 5000 people and went north to the Hulun Lake area, looting a village of the Beishan Jurchen, but the Beishan Jurchen counterattacked.

Wu Keshan couldn't gain a foothold, so he could only continue to move north to the Nerchinsk area.

During this period of time, three or four hundred of his 5000 people died in the battle with the Beishan Jurchen. After that, more than 2000 people left the team and returned to Horqin to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. The remaining people starved to death in Nerchinsk In the end, only 500 people left to establish a village here and start a life of fishing and hunting.

Wu Keshan, as the leader of a tribe with more than [-] people, was finally reduced to a place of bitter cold. He changed from a sweat to a pavilion chief.

In April, Malacca in Nanyang, as the sun crosses the equator and shines directly on the northern hemisphere, the climate in Nanyang begins to become humid and hot.

Since February, this climate has caused the Ming army to reduce its personnel by nearly 2000 people, and the number of people who died of illness was close to the casualties of the entire battle.

The increasingly hot weather was unbearable for the Ming army, but at this time, the Dutch main fort, which had been besieged for seven months, finally surrendered to the Ming army when food was running out.

When Moschell, the president of the East India Company, led a group of stinking Heyi out of the fortress with absent-minded eyes, it can be said that the Ming army was shocked. Even Li Dingguo did not expect the red-haired ghosts to have such endurance. After being besieged for seven months, he unconditionally surrendered.

On the route from Malacca to Luzon, a three-masted lucky ship was riding the wind and waves on the sea. Gao Yihuan was lying comfortably on the deck, basking in the most poisonous sun.

After being locked up in the dark castle by the Dutch for three or four months, he had a bad habit of basking in the sun as soon as he came out. The skin on his body was peeled off several layers, and it was almost as dark as the black slave he bought, but still Sunshine for a moment every day.

In fact, as early as three months ago, they were released by the Dutch, but Gao Yihuan did not leave by boat. Instead, he helped the Ming army with some chores. His purpose was nothing but to get his goods back.

He has worked hard for more than a year, and all his wealth has been put on this voyage. If all the goods are gone this time, then he really has no chance to turn around.

He waited in Malacca for three months, and finally waited until the red-haired ghosts came out and surrendered. These red-haired ghosts were still very meticulous in keeping accounts, and they remembered every detail clearly. The Ming army refunded him according to the accounts. As well as the goods of other merchant ships, it was only his more than 100 black slaves, but only [-] of them died, but anyway, the other goods were kept, and he did not lose money this trip, but could earn several times.

At this time, Gao Yizhen sat beside him and said, "Second brother, after going back this time, will you still go to sea?"

Gao Yihuan sat up suddenly, looked at him and smiled, "Why, are you afraid?"

"A little bit, the sea is too dangerous!" Gao Yizhen was really a little scared, he almost died in the hands of the Dutch.

Gao Yihuan patted him on the shoulder, "Then you stay in Luzon. I won't sell these black slaves. I will leave them to you to farm. But we don't grow rice, but sugar cane. Sugar is more valuable than rice."

"Don't! I'm just asking, but I won't go back to farm. Although the sea is dangerous, it also has great opportunities. I'll follow my second brother!" Gao Yizhen hurriedly said.

Gao Yi laughed happily, "What do you know, this time I learned a truth, all eggs can't be put in one basket. In the past, we had no capital and had to fight, but this time the goods are sold, our capital is more. I decided to keep a few brothers to grow sugarcane on the island, set up a business, and help me buy and sell goods, so that even if I encounter accidents when I go to sea, you will take care of me at home.”

Gao Yizhen nodded after hearing what he said, and they went out to sea together. If something happened like this time, they would really have nothing.

When Gao Yihuan returned to Luzon, after the Ming army accepted the surrender of the Dutch in Malacca, most of the Ming army returned north to Guangzhou, leaving only soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou to continue fighting against the Netherlands.

Li Dingguo left Yu Youming to lead a battalion to garrison Malacca to repair the fort, while he took two battalions, nearly 6000 people, by boat to the camp of the Ming army in Surabaya, preparing to take Java.
