Ming Zuo

The smooth progress of the march made Zhang Keda and others suspect that this was not destroying the country, but traveling.

The Ryukyu people welcomed the arrival of the Chinese kingdom with joy and enthusiasm.

resistance?

Completely absent.

The gate of Shuri Castle was completely opened, and the people in the city ran out.Seeing Xia Jun appear, cheers resounded through the sky.

Obviously their king set himself on fire in the palace behind him, but no one cared at all.

Originally, King Shangfeng had a bad reputation among the Ryukyu people.

It was he who became the king very strangely at the beginning, and chose to cooperate with the Dongying people, causing the Ryukyu people to become oppressed slaves.

Everyone lived a dark life and hated him for a long time.I hope even more that the kingdom of heaven can come as soon as possible to save the people from the fire and water.

Now that Shangguo has finally come, all the dark clouds over Ryukyu people have dissipated, and they can start a new life with their heads held high.

"The people here have such deep feelings for the country, and they must not disappoint their good intentions. As an official here, you must be more vigilant, and you must not hurt the hearts of the people."

When Huang Pei entered the city with the army, he taught and sternly warned the officials who followed.

No one expected Ryukyu to belong to Xia Kingdom so smoothly.But because it was so smooth, Huang Pei was afraid that the officials below would not appreciate it.

Sure enough, some young people who were only interested in being happy quickly calmed down after hearing his warning.

Without his timely warning, it is uncertain what troubles these inexperienced officials would cause.

Xia Jun took control of Shuri Castle very smoothly. Apart from strict vigilance, he did not do anything to disturb the people.

Only those original Ryukyu nobles were all unlucky.

Xia Jun broke in by force, caught them out, and put them in prison.At the same time, the common people are encouraged to expose and not let any traitor go.

On the second day, just outside the city of Shuri, in front of all the common people, these Ryukyu nobles who had taken refuge in the Dongying people were all shot and executed one by one.

The soaring murderous aura well deterred the insignificant strange voice.

It also made everyone realize that although Xia Jun did nothing wrong, he was ruthless enough to treat the enemy.

Zhang Keda, Huang Pei and others have always adhered to the method of having a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

On the one hand, the traitors were liquidated, and on the other hand, Huang Pei began to take various measures for people's livelihood.

Huang Pei took all the wealth confiscated from the homes of the Ryukyu nobles and used it to help the poor.

Especially those lands controlled by the Ryukyu nobles were all distributed to all the people fairly and justly by Huang Pei.

Just this one, let all Ryukyu civilians completely return to their hearts.

Zuo Menggeng had already taught Xia Guo's army and officials how to conquer foreign lands.

Completely eliminate the original local interest classes, and distribute the benefits to the most grassroots people.In this way, once and for all, the influence of China can be deepened quickly, so that the local area becomes the same as the Central Plains.

This method is Zuo Menggeng's experience after summarizing the lessons of the Yongle Dynasty's conquest of Annan.

Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu to conquer Annan. The military action was not smooth, but for a long time afterwards, Daming's forces completely fell into the quagmire of Annan, and finally he was so disturbed that he had to retreat in embarrassment.

The reason is that the Ming court was too trusting and close to Annan's original upper class.

They thought that these people were deeply influenced by the Confucian culture of the Central Plains, and they had something in common in language and thought, so they would help Ming Dynasty maintain its rule.

It never occurred to me that these people were originally Annan's upper class, and they were originally domineering in the local area, living a life of a master.

Where are you willing to surrender to others?

I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

This is the real thinking of Annan's upper class.

These people have great influence in the local area, with both manpower and financial resources in their hands. Through their secret troubles, Daming has never been able to gain a firm foothold in Annan.

Taking history as a mirror, Zuo Menggeng proposed corresponding strategies in the process of recovering Ryukyu.

Sweep away all the original upper layers of Ryukyu, leaving only the simple people.

Then, with the spoils seized from the upper class, the benefits were distributed to the common people.With a certain amount of education and policies, we will surely be able to achieve long-term stability.

Huang Pei followed his instructions and did a little bit, the effect was very significant, and the officials were completely convinced of His Royal Highness King Xia.

Seeing that the situation in Shuri was completely stable, Zhang Keda divided the North Sea Fleet into several parts, attacked in all directions, and sent them to various islands.

The complete recovery of the entire Ryukyu is not far away.

It was April, and for Daming, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Qing army, which broke through the border last autumn, finally crossed the border from Datong after a lot of wanton tossing, withdrew and returned to the division.

This time the Qing army entered the bandits and completely smashed large areas of Gyeonggi, Henan, and Shanxi.The number of people abducted alone exceeded [-].

As for the economic loss, it is impossible to count at all.

Some officials who went to the capital from the south described it this way.

Since passing through Dezhou and entering the territory of Gyeonggi, all the way to the capital, there is no human habitation at all.The roadside is full of bones, and the cities and villages have been reduced to ashes.

It is unimaginable that this is actually the most benevolent place under the feet of the emperor.

The loss in Shanxi was even more serious.

Even Taiyuan was breached by the Qing army, and Jin Wang's family was captured by the Qing army and became prisoners.

King De, who should have suffered such bad luck, was replaced by King Jin.

It has to be said that history also pays attention to energy conservation.

Even Song Xian, the governor of Shanxi, died under the sword of the Qing army in the battle to defend Taiyuan.

The entire northern part of Daming has completely lost its vitality, and it also caused Daming to rapidly slide into the abyss.

Huguang, Gucheng.

The county magistrate Ruan Zhidianku sat in the room, looking at the paper and pen in front of him, and a bowl of wine on the other side.

The wine was cold and glowing blue, which was quite strange.

The paper in front of him was already densely written with words, which can be summed up in just one sentence.

【Zhang Xianzhong will definitely rebel】

Under the pressure of the Ming court, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues had no choice but to surrender.

Originally, what the Ming court should do is to sort out these rogues who surrendered patiently and meticulously, so as to prevent them from resurging.

But Chongzhen and Yang Sichang were eager for quick success, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to destroy Xia, so they transferred away all the troops used to suppress the rogue bandits.

Without the army by their side, the local officials in Huguang were afraid that these rogue bandits would cause trouble, so they had no choice but to adopt a policy of appeasement and retreat step by step.

As a result, the arrogance of Zhang Xianzhong and Gezuo Fifth Battalion became more and more arrogant.It is called the Ming Dynasty's descending soldiers, but in fact it has caused disasters in the village, and it is more cruel than before.

If Daming successfully wiped out Xia Guo, I am afraid that Zhang Xianzhong and others will accept their fate honestly.

But it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty encountered the invasion of the Qing army before it used force against Xia Guo.Not only that, Daming also suffered a tragic loss, and the national strength further declined.

Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others were all near the capital, trying their best to deal with the Qing army, and they were at a loss.

In this way, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogues, who were thousands of miles away, were keenly aware of the god-given opportunity.

The local officials in Huguang have long discovered that these rogue bandits have gradually become overwhelmed, and the resurgence is not far away.

Frightened, they reported to the higher authorities again and again, hoping to gain the attention of the court.

However, all the eyes of the imperial court were focused on dealing with the Qing army, and they didn't care about this at all.

Gucheng is Zhang Xianzhong's residence, and Ruan Zhitian knows better than anyone else that Zhang Xianzhong is about to attack.

As an official of the land guard, the time for his death has arrived.
