Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1209 Peerless Shuangjiao (Part [-])

This sentence of Gao pragmatism is half-truth, because "all the way to push" does not mean that you don't need to use your brains. It can even be said that in ancient wars, "all the way to push" is actually not low in technical content.

The Qin army during the Battle of Julu was supposed to have the strength to "push all the way", the former Qin during the Battle of Feishui was also reasonably capable of "push all the way", and the Yuan army in the Battle of Guandu was still the same. There are those who have the strength to "push all the way", but what is the result?

They all lost.

It is true that these three famous battles with less to win more have one thing in common, that is, before the war, the two armies faced each other across the river. From the perspective of tactical terrain, it is easier to have "strategic battles", but don't forget, what is the location of Phnom Penh? place?
In the "Bay of Four Arms" - formed by the confluence of the Mekong River, the Tonle Sap River and the Basha River, it can be described as a dense water network, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If Liu Xin just pushed all the way, there is a possibility of repeating the mistakes of Wang Li, Fu Jian, and Yuan Shao.

And there is more important thing, that is, as long as you have enough troops to feel that you can "push all the way", in fact, the logistical pressure you are facing now is far more than your opponents.

Past battles have also shown that whenever you plan to "push all the way", you must first hoard a large amount of material supplies.

When the 40 Qin army was north of Julu, why did Xiang Yu sink his boat?Because as long as he can't win in one battle, he may never be able to win. The Qin army not only has a huge force, but also has abundant supplies.

The key to Yuan Shao's defeat in the Battle of Guandu was considered to be "losing Wuchao", precisely because Wuchao was the granary of Yuan's army.The Wuchao was burned, the food and grass were in a hurry, and the heart of the [-] Yuan army was in turmoil. How could there be no reason to be defeated?Not to mention that there are other factors working together.

Therefore, high pragmatism has always attached great importance to logistics. So far, except for the Tumet cavalry under his unified command in the Battle of Monan, in any other war, Gao pragmatic has only two main tasks: strategy and logistics, specific He basically didn't ask about the command of a certain battle. That was the job of the commanding generals. He neither surpassed their capabilities, nor did he need to intervene in order to avoid becoming Duke Chang Kaishen.

However, Liu Xin now does not have the favorable conditions that Gao Pengshi had before, because Jinghua is so busy now that it does not have much spare energy to provide her with the huge amount of supplies needed to "push all the way".

Jinghua's expansion in southern Xinjiang is too fast.Originally, before the Battle of Burma, Jinghua only controlled Annan, but in terms of divisions in later generations, it was actually only the northern and central regions of Vietnam.

However, after a war between Burma and Burma, Jinghua almost completed the feat of swallowing an elephant: it won almost the entire Indochina Peninsula except for northern Myanmar and Cambodia (geographically, the Malay Peninsula is generally not counted as Indochina Peninsula). ).

How big is Indochina? 206.5 million square kilometers.

Excluding the current northern Myanmar and Cambodia, Jinghua's actual control area has exceeded at least 130 million square kilometers.However, before the Yunnan-Myanmar War, Annan actually controlled by Jinghua only had more than 20 square kilometers.

The actual control area has expanded four or five times at once. It is conceivable how busy Jinghua is in the southern border. This is also the most critical factor for Huang Zhiting to stay in Siam even when she is pregnant.

In addition to eliminating the opposition militarily and maintaining stability in various places, Jinghua will also establish its own set of administrative institutions in these places at the same time, mainly transplanting Annan's puppet government model to Siam, Nanzhang, Bago, etc. China, making it gradually, like Annan, a territory firmly controlled by Jinghua.

The Annan model has proved its feasibility in the past few years. It is not a big problem in theory to transplant it to the southern border countries with similar national conditions, but in fact, the national conditions of various countries are still different. In practice Targeted fine-tuning is definitely needed.

For example, in Siam, due to the previous rebellion, the Jinghua side immediately completed the suppression by means of thunder, and the work of eliminating the rebels was the best. In addition, the two armies of the Dingnan garrison and the Annan auxiliary defense army were famous and famous, and Huang Zhiting. Sitting in person personally, so the transplantation of various policies will be implemented the fastest.

However, the corresponding construction task of Siam is very heavy, especially the construction of Dingnan City, which is not only Jinghua’s largest construction project so far, but also the largest urban construction project in Siam’s history.According to Jinghua's plan, the construction of Dingnan City is divided into at least three engineering stages, which take three years, three years, and four years respectively, accumulating up to ten years.

The construction task of the first stage is mainly to establish the core area under the condition of determining the overall scale of the city.The walls of the outer city will not be repaired for the time being, but twelve small bastions will be built around the city.The core area is the inner city, including the Royal Palace (only one-fifth of it is temporarily built, so that Tammarojan can be placed under house arrest and occasionally allowed to show up to meet ministers), various government offices, the central business district and the inner city residential area, and the other is the temporary port .

There are two main tasks in the second stage of construction. One is to upgrade the temporary port to a large-scale standard seaport, and to build the outer city wall. If there is spare construction capacity, you can build some other facilities in the outer city.

Needless to say, in the third stage, the construction of the outer city will be completed, and the construction of Dingnan City will be completed.

At the same time as the three stages of construction, Jinghua must also go all out to replenish Dingnan City with its migrant population—what kind of city is a city without a city?
But there is something special here: Jinghua will quietly control the population ratio of Dingnan City without publicity.To put it simply, it is to secretly ensure that the Ming people in Dingnan City must have an absolute advantage.Of course, considering various difficulties in actual operation, this "absolute advantage" is only determined at 70.00% for the time being.

As for the specific ethnicity of "Mingren", Gao pragmatic does not make any requirements.Whether you are a Han Chinese or a child, even Miao people, Yao people or even "naturalized Han people" of Annan blood are all counted as "Ming people" in Dingnan City. The only requirement is You must speak Chinese at all times.

Gao pragmatic insists on his consistent view: the Chinese nation is never a nation divided by blood, it is divided by culture.

"When the barbarians enter China, they are in China; when China enters the barbarians, the barbarians are there." On this point, Gao pragmatism fully agreed with Confucius' proposition.

Of course, he believes that this transformation will take a certain amount of time, just like Annan's "naturalized Han" can be recognized as a Han by Jinghua without shouting "I am a Han".

The "naturalization household registration system" implemented in Annan has also been transplanted to Siam. Siamese who are willing to "naturalize" only need to complete the Chinese language study, and then complete the "naturalization" of various names through methods such as joining the army and offering sacrifices. "Social contribution", you can apply for the inspection of Jinghua, and you can become a naturalized Han Chinese after successfully passing the inspection, and enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment and social benefits that are exactly the same as those of the Han Chinese.

When I first crossed, I dreamed of "everyone is equal", but now not only has long abandoned this unrealistic idea, but even intensified, creating a more complex division of people's levels.

As aboriginal people such as Annan and Siamese, Gao Wucheng is now strictly controlling while giving room for improvement to the outstanding talents, so that they change their life goals from "destroying Mingren" to "becoming Mingren" .

One stick and one carrot, it's a real trick - as long as you do have a stick and a carrot.

Siam can perform Annan-style transplants well, but Bago and Nanzhang are different.

In terms of Bago, Gao Wushi and Huang Zhiting need to consider the reaction of the Mon people, because His Majesty Abrabang—oh, his name is Xia Muming now—although it was originally just the “King of Bago” introduced by Jinghua himself, but After the victory of the Battle of Burma, his status was confirmed by the Ming emperor.

Zhu Yijun has officially named him the "Xuanwei Envoy of the Dagu Laxuanwei Division" - according to general practice, these foreign vassal envoys conferred by Daming basically claim to be kings internally, and Daming will never pursue it seriously, it's just that they When the tribute is paid, it is only a condolence envoy.

As a result, Xia Muming, as Jinghua's original "ally" and as Daming's "shunchen", has a special status, and it is not good for Jinghua to completely ignore the interests of the Meng people represented by him.

In addition, after the end of the war, although the Mon people abolished a large number of "rebels" on the grounds of financial difficulties under the "suggestion" of Jinghua, they still retain 2 people as local troops.Although Gao Silian may not take the [-] armed militiamen seriously, he still needs to show some face. After all, if the [-] strong men are turned into prostitutes, it will be a big trouble.

Therefore, the advancement of the Annan model in the Bago Kingdom was much slower than that of Siam, and even the "naturalization household registration system" has not been launched for the time being.As for immigration... Jinghua's task is too heavy right now. Just the three places of Taiwan, Annan and Siam have already overwhelmed Jinghua. How can you take care of Myanmar for a while?It is estimated that at least until the construction of Dingnan City is completed, Jinghua will have the spare energy to consider immigrating to Myanmar.

The last is the South Palm.Nanzhang... Alas, this place is really sad for those who hear it, and those who hear it weep. It is really poor, and from a geographical point of view, it is very difficult to develop.

In this day and age, it is impossible to build high-speed and high-speed railways. Gao is pragmatic and thinks about it. He feels that he can only use waterways to promote the economic development of Nanzhang.

However, using the waterway is not just a matter of mouth. Originally, Gao Pragmat had already designated Dingnan City as the core city of the Indo-China Peninsula in the future. In theory, Nanzhang’s economy would best be able to interact with Siam.

However, in fact, this is difficult to do, because although Nanzhang is the birthplace of many water systems, most of them flow eastward to Annan, or first east and then south, flowing to Cambodia.There are very few rivers that flow to Siam, but because Nanzhang is its upstream, the water is shallow and narrow, and it is not suitable for inland ships of the nature of transportation.

Jinghua's consistent method is military deterrence plus interest binding. Now for Nanzhang, military deterrence is definitely no problem, but the problem of interest binding is very prominent.

Because Jinghua's interests are tied up, the premise is to "make the cake bigger first", and in the situation on Nanzhang's side, Jinghua is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice.

In this case, the various reforms aimed at Nanzhang are not easy to handle.Because on the premise of not providing new profit growth points, no matter how the reforms will affect the interests of some Nanzhang people, it is likely that the reforms have not achieved any results, but the Nanzhang people will take them out of the hands of the Burmese people. The gratitude for liberation is exhausted, that is, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, but a big loss.

Therefore, in Nanzhang, the transplant work of Jinghua's "Annan Model" has been very poor, even worse than in the Bago Kingdom, and it can almost be said to be stagnant.

From the above, it can be seen that Jinghua itself is also facing huge pressure and challenges. Therefore, when it comes to dispatching troops to Cambodia, Jinghua can hardly give Liu Xin more support than the [-] Jingang garrison. .

Liu Xin's guarantee from Huang Zhiting is only "to ensure that firearms are not in short supply" - except for gunpowder and projectiles, you have to find ways for others.

Fortunately, we are fighting in the Indo-China Peninsula, and we do not need to prepare winter clothes for the army, and considering that the target area is the Mekong Delta, as long as the time for launching the war is well controlled, there is still a good chance of "eating on the spot".

In other words, it is to send troops during the grain harvesting period, and after arriving in Cambodia, directly harvest the local grain to supply the army, or more directly, go to grab the Cambodian army's grain and grass to support the war with war.

Gao pragmatic has never done this kind of thing before, so he was probably beating the drum in his heart to let him direct this kind of battle, but Liu Xin was not afraid of this.

Liu Xin herself has never done such a thing, but the generals of the Liu Jiajun she brought have many experienced in it.

After all, when Liu Xian was not in the arms of the high party, he was always suppressed by the civil servants and Nanjing Xungui, so that the Liu family was treated extremely poorly, and the military discipline was naturally not good. The general has long since acquired a good ability to search for land.

After Liu Wei became a pragmatic and optimistic general, Liu Jiajun's treatment has been improved visibly. This kind of thing is less and less, but it is like a person who learns to swim and will never forget it for the rest of his life. Now let them go back to their old business. There is no difficulty, and even after Liu Xin told them, there are still many people who look nostalgic...

Man, it’s really easy to learn badly and hard to learn well.

On the [-]th day of the first month of the fifth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty, just after the Lantern Festival, the [-]-strong army of the Jingang Garrison Army quietly dispatched troops under the leadership of Liu Xin and galloped away to the southwest.

Rice in the Mekong Delta ripens three times a year, and the rice was planted just before the Spring Festival. At this time, it is time to rush to harvest the first wave of rice!
The starting point for Liu Xin's preparation was the city of Champa, which Jinghua had just acquired.
