Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 381 Upgrade
Chapter 381 Upgrade
After the Battle of Taichung, nearly a thousand Taiwanese aborigines became captives.
Under the supervision of the Ming army, they spent several days cleaning up the battlefield, and then they were escorted to Taichung County for centralized custody. After screening, these people will become free labor for reclaiming wasteland and farming.
Because of the annihilation of the Dutch army that landed, the Dutch warships that stayed in the open sea never received the news from Van Dyke.
A few days later, when the Dutch navy felt that the situation was not right, Wu Qun sent people to place some clothes and battle flags of the Dutch army not far from the coast in the dark.
After dawn, the Dutch army in charge of the landing ship found these blood-stained items, and immediately sent people to send these items back to the gunboat.
Several captains who heard the news had a brief discussion, and after deciding that the army led by Van Dyke had been completely defeated by the Ming army, and there was no doubt about waiting any longer, the Dutch army withdrew the landing ships and personnel.
Then the four warships of the Dutch army lined up and fired towards the coast, trying to deter the Ming army and vent their anger.
After firing a round of explosive shells to the shore, the four warships of the Dutch army weighed anchor and returned to the port of Zeelandia.
It is also extremely rare in the history of the Dutch army that a regiment's army was completely wiped out by the enemy.
If this news spreads back to the country, the decision-makers in the Netherlands will definitely be shocked. As for what measures they plan to take, it will be at least one to two years later.
After all, the distance between Europe and Ming Dynasty was tens of thousands of nautical miles, so the transmission of information was extremely inconvenient, and the Dutch army lost more than half of its troops in Taiwan at once.
Under the current situation, the Dutch garrison can only passively take a defensive position, waiting for domestic orders to come.
A few days after the Dutch warships withdrew, several boats of the Zheng family transporting daily necessities docked at the simple pier on the shore. The victory report documents and test books jointly signed by Wu Qun and Lin Rong, as well as some seized Dutch army firearms were found. It was sent to Tianjin Wei.
It was already the fourteenth day of the first lunar month when the news of Taiwan's great victory reached the palace. Because the yamen had not opened their doors at that time, and this matter was not urgent, Zhu Youjian did not bring it up until today for public comment. The important ministers discussed.
"My lord, although Wu, a general from Shandong, led his troops to wipe out nearly a thousand Hongyi people this time, his own casualties were not small. Given that Hongyi's firearms are sharp and their combat power is not weak, and it is very likely that they will attack the island For the sake of military and civilian retaliation by force, I suggest increasing the number of officers and soldiers on the island so that they will be able to deal with larger-scale wars in the future!"
Yang Sichang, who knew the details earlier, stood up and clapped his hands.
Wu Qun's troops suffered more than [-] casualties in this battle, and the battle loss rate reached more than [-]%. Being able to win a big victory in this extremely dangerous situation will have a qualitative improvement in the combat effectiveness of Shandong's official army.
But if the Dutch army organizes a large-scale military operation in the future, the remaining [-] troops are obviously too weak, so it is imperative to expand or increase the number of troops.
"Yang Qing's performance is very reasonable. As far as I know, more than half of the total number of Hongyi garrisons on Taiwan Island has been lost in this battle. The remaining Hongyi are no longer able to pose a threat to immigrants. Because the distance between Ming and Ming is thousands of miles away." Yao, it will take at least two years for Hongyi to send a large army here, so there is no rush. I intend to recruit new soldiers from the refugees in the northern border, and the number should be five thousand. The Ministry of War can start to handle this from now on thing!"
Zhu Youjian’s main reason for recruiting recruits from the north to go south was to use strong troops to suppress the clan forces in southern Fujian separated by a strait, break their strong local dominance, and provide a strong armed force for the promotion of imperial power to the countryside in the future. support.
The stubbornly conservative local clans will be the biggest obstacle to the New Deal in the future.
Of course they understand that the imperial power going to the countryside means that their strength will be sharply weakened and their own interests will be greatly damaged. In order to preserve their vested interests, they will of course take measures to resist the new policy of the imperial court.
Not to mention that in the current world, even under the open and transparent Zheng Zhi system of later generations, the clan power in southern Fujian, northern Guangdong and other places is still very strong.
While retaining many excellent traditional cultures and inheritances of the Chinese nation, there are also many backward ideas and cultural dross left in the large clans based on blood ties, and some dark side things really should not exist.
In the confrontation between the imperial court and local forces, bloodshed is inevitable, and large-scale riots cannot even be ruled out.
At this time, the strong army on the other side of the strait is the strength to suppress all kinds of dissatisfaction.
It's not that Zhu Youjian never thought of directly stationing troops in southern Fujian and northern Guangdong, but the production in these two places simply cannot maintain the existence of thousands of officers and troops.
Due to the inherently harsh geographical conditions, coupled with several years of natural disasters, many local people have been displaced. This is why Zheng Zhilong was able to organize immigration smoothly.
However, Taiwan's excellent geographical environment and output are sufficient to support the army. Once turmoil occurs, the Taiwan garrison will arrive at the incident within a short period of time, and then carry out targeted disposal.
"I would like to abide by the sacred metaphor! But I still have a suggestion, and I hope the Holy One will think about it!"
After accepting the order, Yang Sichang cupped his hands and continued to speak.
"Yang Qing, but it doesn't matter!"
"Qi Zou Shengshang, I see that the Hongyi rifle mentioned in Wu's victory document is extremely sharp, and the carriage and cart it uses are extremely convenient. The army is thunderous, but its power and range are much stronger. I think this gun and projectiles should be imitated and improved by the Military Weapons Supervisor, so that these sharp weapons can be popularized and used in the army as soon as possible!"
After all, Yang Sichang came from a family of officials and eunuchs. In terms of vision and knowledge, it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
From Wu Qun's success report, he found that the main cause of direct or indirect casualties of the officers and soldiers was caused by the Dutch artillery.
The Ming Dynasty had a long history of imitating foreign barbarians' firearms. Now the Frang machine guns that are widely equipped in the army are bought first and then imitated, and the imitated Frang machine guns are better than the original ones.
The Ming Dynasty in history has never been a country that was blindly arrogant and unwilling to make progress. The inclusive thoughts and behaviors were maintained from beginning to end until the dynasty collapsed.
"Yang Qing's suggestion is very kind! It's exactly the same as what I think! This matter will be handled by Yang Qing! In addition, this victory is the biggest victory we have achieved in the battle against barbarians across the ocean since the founding of our country. Victory! Shandong general Wu Mou and the Shandong officers and soldiers fought bloody battles without fear of life and death, greatly boosting the morale of our army, extolling the prestige of our emperor Ming, and causing heavy damage to the foreign barbarians who coveted our land! Such feats It has to be rewarded! Today, a special Jin Wu is the commander-in-chief of Taiwan, and his generals and soldiers are promoted to a higher level, and they will be rewarded with three strategies, and a reward of 1 taels of silver! The casualties will be compensated according to the past practice!"
Although there was a precedent for defeating the Dutch during the Wanli period, thousands of Ming troops fought against more than two hundred Dutch troops at that time.
Seeing the strength of the Ming army, the Dutch army took the initiative to negotiate a truce. The scale of the battle was so small that it could not be compared with this bloody battle. That's why Zhu Youjian said that he won the greatest victory.
"Taichung County has been upgraded to Tainan Prefecture, and Taichung County is under its jurisdiction; Lin, the magistrate of Taichung County, has been in office for more than two years. During his tenure, he has been diligent and dedicated. [-]. At the discretion of the Ministry of Officials, the post of magistrate of Taichung County shall be recommended by him, and he shall be selected and appointed from Shanxi guardianship and immigration officials! Now the situation in Taiwan is basically stable, and its grain and rice output is more than self-sufficient. Later, the cabinet will decide according to the actual situation. Northland continues to emigrate to Taiwan!"
Zhu Youjian immediately announced a new personnel appointment.
Although Lin Rong came from a humble background, his achievements during his two years in office are impressive.
This kind of official with the spirit of hard work is the most deserving of the reward.
I believe that Lin Rong, who has jumped several levels in a row, will work harder.
Thanks to book friend Lin Lingsu for the reward in 2018.
