Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1208 Peerless Shuangjiao (Part [-])
Liu Xin came to Jingang this time, not alone. She also brought several Liu family generals and up to [-] Liu family members who moved the world - the descendants of Japanese and barbarians.

After the Burma War, the number of Liu Jiajiading rose to over [-].This time, Liu Wei gave a quarter of the Liu family's wealth to his sister and asked her to bring Jingang.

When making this decision, Liu Wei didn't even know what kind of conditions Huang Zhiting gave his sister. The only thing he knew was that his sister was smart since she was a child, and she wouldn't waste the Liu family's money indiscriminately.

Liu Xin didn't reply to Liu Wei until a thousand descendants of Japanese and barbarians arrived in Dingnan. Although the letter did not explain directly, it also hinted at something.

For example, Huang Zhiting once said that there has always been a tradition of rewarding merit and deeds within Jinghua, and it is likely that where merit is made, it will be "rewarded".

For example, Gao Silian, who used to be the colonizer of Huaying, once established meritorious service for opening up the territory of Huaying, so although he himself is now working in southern Myanmar, he has [-] mu of fertile land and about [-] mu of residential land with high pragmatic rewards in Huaying. .After his meritorious service in Myanmar, he was rewarded with a large warehouse land in Daguang Port (later Yangon) in southern Myanmar (only land is given, and he needs to build it according to Beijing standards), as well as a warehouse in Bago City. The mansion of the Marquis confiscated by the Burmese royal family.

At that time, Gao Silian was only a general of the side, and his status was not too high and pragmatic. His reward was already so rich, and this time Liu Xin was used as the "commander of the side", and he was going to fight a "war to destroy the country". As long as the victory is successful, the reward that the Liu family can get is definitely not a small number, which must only be beneficial to the strengthening of the Liu family's strength.

After all, whether the goalkeeper is strong or not depends on Jiading, and whether Jiading is strong or not depends on how much money can be spent.

A formidable general, such as the Tieling Li Clan, can smash [-] family members.Even more powerful, such as Gao and pragmatic, Liu Qi didn't even know how many servants he had.

Anyway, if the Gao family members from all over the world are counted together, Liu Wei feels that even if Gao Pragmat wants to gather an army of [-] people, it will not be difficult.

Fortunately, the parts of Gao Jiajia that really operate in accordance with the "Army of Classics" are mostly in the southern border countries. In Daming, except for a small number of Jiajia guards stationed in the capital Jianxinzhai and Sanshenyuan, in other areas, they are basically protected. There are factory teams and mine protection teams, and there are riders who run outside the mouth all the year round. Generally speaking, they are not so conspicuous.

However, the Gao family's "Navy Master" is very strong and almost undisguised, which is different from the "Lu Shi" style.Up and down the court, whether it is a noble relative or a scholar, all know that the "fleet" of Gao pragmatism is very powerful, not only "crossing the north and south oceans", but even the main inland rivers in the country, almost all are Gao Jiachuan The sphere of influence of the team.

The navy... In the eyes of ordinary people, "no matter how strong you are, you can't go ashore", so no one in the Daming court thinks that someone can rely on the navy to rebel, and it doesn't matter how strong the Gao family's fleet is - your hometown in Xinzheng is still in Daming Well, do you dare to leave the ancestral graves?
But Liu Xin's feelings now are probably completely different from the Gong Gong princes in the imperial court.

In her opinion, the strength of Gao pragmatism in the southern border, just from what she saw with her own eyes, was already terrifying.

Liu Xin, who stayed by Huang Zhiting's side for a few months, knew that after the "big military expansion in southern Xinjiang" a few years ago, Gao Wushi's strength in southern Xinjiang had reached a new peak.

As for the Lu division, Jinghua now has five main garrison troops in southern Xinjiang, namely, the Thanglong garrison, the Jingang garrison, the Vientiane garrison, the Dingnan garrison, and the Bago garrison.

Among them, the establishment of each garrison is somewhat different. According to Huang Zhiting's suggestion, Gao Wu re-adjusted the establishment of the five major garrison troops in early October of the previous year.

According to the latest establishment, the most powerful garrison has now become the Dingnan garrison, with a total of 5 troops, responsible for the "largest territory of Siam" including Angkor and Chiang Mai.Moreover, this garrison is not fighting alone. It also has the support of the "Annan Assisted Defense Army" including Huang Zhiting's wolf soldiers and Burmese surrendered troops. This "Associated Defense Army" also has nearly 3 people.

The second in strength is the Thanglong Garrison Army, which still maintains a heavy force of up to [-].The reason why it is ranked after the Dingnan Garrison Army is because the army has always been in a state of "feeding blood" to other friendly forces from the outbreak of the Yunnan-Burma War to the present. It is already a force of nearly [-] recruits - there are only about [-] veterans left, and its strength is much worse than its peak.

Moreover, after Dingnan City was planned by Gao pragmatism as the core of the future southern Xinjiang, Gao pragmatism was also the most generous in supplementing the armament of the Dingnan garrison. It is said that the status and strength of the Thanglong Garrison have declined accordingly.

The third place is the Golden Port Garrison.The situation of the Jingang Garrison Army is the opposite of that of the Thanglong Garrison Army. Since Gao pragmatic has already planned to attack the Mekong Delta, its importance is on the rise. Its strength has also increased from [-] to [-], and its equipment priority has also increased. relatively forward.

In fourth place is the Bago Garrison Army.In addition to guarding the newly "restored" "Bago Kingdom", this garrison army is also within the scope of surveillance of the remaining territories of the Taungoo Dynasty. However, because the "Bago Kingdom" itself still has some Mon people The army (reorganized by the former rebels, it is not easy to dismantle all of them for a while) exists, so the number of this garrison is only kept at 3.

However, the strength of the 3-strong Bagu garrison is not bad, because most of them are from the expeditionary army, that is, veterans account for the vast majority, so the combat effectiveness is relatively reliable.

The strength of the five major garrison ranks last is the Vientiane garrison.This garrison was newly formed recently, with only 3000 core members, all of whom were drawn from the Thang Long garrison, and the total strength was only [-]—mainly because Nanzhang Kingdom was really poor, and Jinghua’s garrison As a rule, the local kingdom provided the military salary, and Jinghua itself was only responsible for armaments.

Nanzhang Country is not only poor, but also has a small population. Gao Yushi estimates that there are 300 million people in the sky, and their place is inconvenient to transport. Although two mineral deposits have been discovered now, Gao Yushi is not even interested in developing them—unless it is a large-scale mine. Gold mine, otherwise what's the use if it can't be shipped out?For gold mines, the price is high because of the small quantity, and the unit transportation cost is low.

Therefore, at present, the Nanzhang Kingdom can only maintain [-] garrison troops at most. If there is more, the high pragmatism will have to pay the army's salary. In fact, it is already paid, but not much, because Princess Biajue At the request of Gao pragmatism, she abolished some of the Nanzhang Kingdom's Royal Forest Army, and gave the military salaries to the garrison, while she went to Annan to get married.

Huang Yinglei was quite satisfied with marrying a princess.Although it is only a princess of a small country, Nanzhang Kingdom is a kingdom no matter how small it is, and its land area is actually not small, larger than the entire Guangxi. (Note: Laos at this time was larger than later generations, because the southwest part was not occupied by Siam)
This incident is Huang Yinglei's most satisfied with his sister in many years, but he may have made a mistake: he thought that Princess Biajue had been the regent of Nanzhang Kingdom, and he would have the opportunity to regent Nanzhang in the future.

This is actually because he thinks too much, and Gao pragmatic has never considered letting him go to regent Nanzhang country.Gao Wushi asked him to marry Biajue, just to stabilize Nanzhang, and by the way, he could also improve the lintel of the Huang family.

As a result, the five major garrison armies have a total formal establishment of 19 people, plus the highly pragmatic Cen Huanglang soldiers, the Annan old army, and the three colonial armies (Huaying, Champa, and Nanpan). In terms of establishment, it belongs to the subordinate army of the Jingang Garrison), and Gao Wu can mobilize at least 25 troops in southern Xinjiang!
Sometimes Liu Xin couldn't help but think, if the situation in southern Xinjiang is completely settled now, and if she is pragmatic and manages well, then she might have a chance to send out 20 elite troops for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

Based on Liu Xin's understanding of Daming's current strength, she felt that if Gao Yushi used an elite 20 garrison army to attack the Central Plains, not to mention turning the world around in one fell swoop, at least it would be no problem to rule the river.

In terms of his high and pragmatic background and reputation in Shilin, it is very likely that he will not be completely resisted by scholars. At least he is definitely a hundred times stronger than the later rogues such as Li Zicheng. The possibility of successful rebellion is not low.

It's just... I don't know if Gao pragmatic has such an idea.

At this point, Liu Xin has not been sure until now.Because in her opinion, Gao pragmatic performance is more contradictory.While he was working hard to expand his strength in the southern border, he was honestly serving as an official.

He himself inherited from the three former chiefs and assistants of the Ming army's direct line of generals, all of which were used by him in the northern front line. It seemed that they were completely prepared for external wars, and there was no intention to attack the Ming court at all. .

This makes Liu Xin hesitant, because if Gao Shishi wants to turn things around, these direct-line generals should be used as close to the capital as possible. Once they decide to do it in the future, Yanjing will be able to take them directly, and the army in southern Xinjiang will also You can reach Songhu from the sea, and then take Nanjing by lightning.

The two capitals have changed hands and the army has dominated the world. Isn't this Daming Jiangshan a hand?
But now it seems that Gao Wushi did not have such a plan. He not only threw all his direct descendants on the frontier, but also helped the imperial court organize the Beijing camp and let Qi Jiguang train [-] Guards... ?

Could it be that this Imperial Guard is a secret chess move. On the surface, it strengthens the "Central Army" directly under the imperial court. In fact, this army is under pragmatic and private control?

Liu Xin is not sure about these things now. She just wants to quickly finish the battle in Cambodia, and then find an opportunity to go to Yanjing to meet with Gao Shishi in person, and ask him what he wants to do.

As for why she intervened in this matter... Liu Xin told herself: I was just looking at the face of being "the same as him", and if I could help him, it would be great if I didn't help him. There is no way to solve the problem of my father writing letters every three days to urge marriage.

If Gao Wushi wants to rebel and become the emperor himself, then I will help him fight and make a contribution. In the future, if I change the "Jinkou Yuyan" and never marry for life, wouldn't anyone dare to say more?

As for whether this reason is reliable or not, Liu Xin herself persuaded herself like this.

Except for about 3 of the Jingang garrison that could not be mobilized with clear garrison tasks, the remaining 2 people gathered in Jingang and held an "unroutine" competition—according to Huang Zhiting's authorization, Liu Xin will [-] of them were drawn as the lineup for this expedition.

2 people may seem like a small force, but it depends on who you compare with.

When the Burmese attacked, the Burmese Toungoo Dynasty was basically still at its peak, and Huang Zhiting's troops were a little more than that.Although there were still Liu Ji and Deng Zilong's subordinates in northern Myanmar at that time, but in fact Huang Zhiting defeated the mighty Mang Yingli with her own people.

And now, what she has to deal with is only Cambodia, and the [-] garrison is fully capable of taking it down-Cambodia is the defeated general of Siam, Siam is the defeated general of Myanmar, and Myanmar is the defeated general of Jinghua.

Can this be defeated?
It took five days to watch the whole competition carefully. Liu Xin felt that although the newly expanded Golden Harbor Guard had a lot of recruits, it did look worse than the previous expeditionary force, but 2 people were drawn out. If you want to call Cambodia, you should still ask him if he is not big.

This idea is not completely "on paper", because of the strength of the Phnom Penh Dynasty, not only Jinghua has been investigating for several years, but also the messenger sent by Gita I to Daming has also explained a lot. My own judgment on Cambodia's strength should be inseparable.

If we only talk about military strength, Cambodia is indeed quite a lot now.

Perhaps because of the fertile land in the Mekong Delta, Cambodia's population is even similar to that of Siam, which may be slightly better than the current Annan, with about 600 million people, and the key is that it is not short of food, so in Huang Zhiting After sending troops to "reinforce" Angkor, Gita I released more than 4 soldiers on the northwest border alone, and there were at least 1 soldiers around Phnom Penh. Although the eastern regions were relatively empty, there should be more than 1 soldiers.

In this way, Cambodia has at least [-] or [-] troops.

However, although the number of people is large, in Liu Xin's eyes, they are just chickens and dogs. According to the envoy of Gita I, Cambodia's domestic productivity is low. These troops can't even gather a knife for each person. Many people's weapons It's just a bamboo spear.

Bamboo spears are not incapable of fighting. For example, wolf soldiers like to use bamboo spears, but the bamboo spears of wolf soldiers are not only special products soaked in tung oil, but also made of fine iron.

However, bamboo spears in Cambodia are really just bamboo spears. The so-called spearhead is the sharpening of the bamboo.

If you want to say that this thing can also kill people, it is true.However, poor equipment is poor equipment. Facing the latest Wanli Type II bayonet muskets equipped by the garrison, and more than a hundred light and heavy artillery equipped for these 2 people...

With such rubbish weapons, Liu Xin felt that even if the Cambodian army were replaced by Cen Huang Lang soldiers to help them fight, they would not be able to lose this battle, but the casualties might be higher.

She now believes that Huang Zhiting is no longer joking when she said something too pragmatic to her.

"Actually, pushing all the way is my favorite style of play, because it can use less brains."
