Chapter 551: Spring Chapter Offensive
Chapter 551: Spring Festival Offensive
Xu Shiqi admired the emperor's tough attitude just now, and felt that he was praising our country.
However, there are also those who think it is too tough. Zheng Zhilong thinks that the Dutch should not be pushed too fast.
Zhu Yihai knew very well why Zheng Zhilong objected. Zheng Zhilong had been cooperating with the Dutch for many years. Although the two sides were intrigues and even fought each other at first, after the battle at Liuluowan, even if they were convinced by each other, they started a trade cooperation for many years. Profits abound.
The Dutch can only trade with Ming through Zheng Zhilong, and Zheng Zhilong has further monopolized the power of foreign maritime trade with the help of the Dutch ally.
In fact, what the Dutch don't know is that they have always wanted to trade with Daming. In fact, the Zheng family did not do much in secret before, because the Zheng family is the last thing that the Dutch want to trade directly with the government, so their comprador status will be very difficult. useless.
Zhu Yihai knew this, but he didn't point it out, and he wouldn't listen to Zheng Zhilong's persuasion.
Why did Zheng He sail seven times in the Ming Dynasty, owning a powerful fleet, displaying a strong maritime power, and even brought back huge profits for Ming Dynasty, but later destroyed the blueprints and destroyed the fleet, and never went to sea again?
Because Zheng's fleet went to the West, no matter how much they earned, the money was mainly in the hands of the emperor, and it even greatly affected the interests of the scholar-bureaucrat group that colluded with officials and businessmen.
So they attacked the Western Ocean for various reasons. For a while, building a large ship was costly and costly, and for a while, it was this and that, and finally succeeded in messing up the matter.
Then these people immediately organized their own ships and launched their goods into the sea, earning a lot of money.
You can make money by yourself, but the court and the emperor can't.
During the Song Dynasty, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, they attached great importance to maritime trade, and even formulated some special policies. For example, when Hu merchant ships came to Hong Kong, they had to draw one tenth of the tax, and handed over one tenth of the tax as a tariff to the Maritime Shipping Department. The Song Dynasty took this batch of seafood, and then resold it for a profit.
He even implemented a monopoly on various spices such as pepper brought by Hu merchants at that time, and made huge profits.
The Song Dynasty made a lot of money every year from the tariffs, gambling, etc.
However, except for the Yongle Dynasty, the sea trade of the other dynasties in the Ming Dynasty did not bring any benefits to the court, and even caused the Great Japanese Rebellion that ravaged the southeast half of the country.
As for what the Great Japanese Rebellion is, many people know very well that it is not really all Japanese pirates, the real essence is actually maritime trade and smuggling.
In order to compete for maritime trade rights and break the monopoly of those powerful bureaucratic groups, these smuggling maritime merchants rebelled, and even because of the imperial government's policy of banning the sea, some tyrants deliberately colluded with pirates to cause rebellion.
Anyway, this is also a characteristic of Daming.
Would Zhu Yihai not know about this?
Would he not know how Zheng Zhilong got his start?
Don't know his relationship with the Dutch, don't know their agreement?
So no matter what his reasons were, Zhu Yihai just listened and smiled at him.
The emperor looked at Zheng Zhilong with a smile.
He laughed so hard that he couldn't speak anymore.
He understood that the emperor had seen through him, but he didn't point it out.
Facing this powerful emperor, Zheng Zhilong didn't dare to say anything more. After all, Zheng Zhilong was the overlord in the southeast sea, but he came from a humble background in essence, and he was born with a sense of inferiority.
And he is not the kind of stubborn pirates, he has a fierce side, but also a cautious side, which allows him to get out of the pirates, but it also restricts him.
As the saying goes, when you have fear, you will not be so free in doing things.
Even though he is now a minister of the Prime Minister's Office, as the Duke of Pingguo, when facing the emperor, he is still that humble fisherman in his bones.
"The Dutch East India Company is nothing more than a big chamber of commerce. Merchants, after profit, are no different from Shanxi merchants. Back then, Qin merchants and Shanxi merchants all benefited from the opening of China and France on the nine sides. Qin merchants mainly sold goods to the Mongols in Hetao Monan and other places, while Shanxi merchants went out of Zhangjiakou to sell and operate to the Mongolian tribes in the west of Monan, and even Houjin.
For the sake of profit, Shanxi merchants can openly sell grain and arms to them regardless of the court's laws and regulations.
The Tartars robbed a lot of gold, silver, silk and silk in the bitter cold of eastern Liaodong, but these things were inedible and inedible. In times of disaster and famine, they would eat eight renminbi of silver for a bucket of rice, and the hungry would eat each other.
In order to earn the bloody silver that the Tatars robbed, those Shanxi merchants ignored everything else, secretly sold grain and salt, even smuggled iron materials, etc., and forcibly fed the Tartars to life. "
"So over the years of Chongzhen, the Tartars entered the fortress again and again to plunder, and each time they robbed millions of gold and silver, and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and then these things were transferred to Shanxi merchants, who sold the stolen goods for them. He took the looted silver for them to buy grain and salt inside the pass, and then transported it back outside the pass to supply the Tartars.
What a ridiculous scene, how sad?
But Shanxi merchants have no shame, they only care about making money, they only see profits, they dare to make any money.
After the Tartars entered the customs, they rewarded the meritorious officials in Beijing, didn't they also confer the eight imperial merchants by imperial decree?Aren't the so-called eight imperial merchants all Shanxi merchants?
The Dutch East India Company is essentially no different from these Shanxi merchants. Capital is profit-seeking. As long as the profit is sufficient, they are willing to sell the rope to hang them! "
How big is Daming's market?
That is what the Dutch long for and cannot achieve. They have always dreamed of obtaining the right to trade directly with the Ming Dynasty. They have tried various methods for this, sending envoys to ask for tribute, and even forcing them by force, but Daming refused to accept it. .
In essence, the failure of the Dutch was not because they were not strong, but because they came late.
The Jesuit Catholicism in Macau has penetrated deeply into Ming Dynasty. From the local governors to the ministers and elders in the court, and even the eunuchs in the palace, they have their people in all aspects. Naturally, these people defend the Portuguese and resolutely oppose them. The Dutch came in for trade.
The Dutch didn't want to understand this, so they couldn't do anything.
Zhu Yihai is also very aware of the Macau Portuguese and the Jesuit Catholics, but he is silent now because they can be used.
In the same way, the Dutch can also be used.
At the beginning of his army, he took the initiative to contact the Portuguese in Macau to buy arms and mercenaries, and then he took the initiative to contact the Spaniards in Manila to use the barbarians to control the barbarians and use the Spaniards to balance the Portuguese.
Then use the Portuguese and the Spaniards to threaten the Dutch, forcing the Dutch to form an alliance with him.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Zhu Yihai made up his mind to get the Dutch to cooperate, whether it was to attack Taiwan or intercept the trade line, but it was just to promote peace, and even used the Portuguese and Spaniards to suppress the Zheng family in Fujian at the beginning.
Step by step, eventually pulling these people together.
Whether it is buying armaments, conducting trade, or allowing them to preach, it is actually just some means, step by step.
The Portuguese finally thought that they could continue to monopolize the Ming market, but who knew that Zhu Yihai later introduced the Spanish from Manila, and now forced the Dutch to join.
They didn't even know that Zhu Yihai even took the initiative to send someone to find the British.
The British colonists also entered Nanyang before, and established trading houses, etc., and also established trading houses in Japan. However, they lost the battle with the Netherlands and others, so they simply closed the Japanese trading houses and managed the Indian colony with peace of mind.
Zhu Yihai took the initiative to recruit them. Naturally, the barbarians should be used to control the barbarians. The barbarians from all sides gathered together to better check and balance each other.
This is essentially the same as the emperor likes to let the ministers balance. He will never trust only one or one party's ministers. He must have several party ministers to restrain each other, so that the imperial power can be stable.
"Those Jin merchants are all traitors, they can all be killed!" Shen Chenquan said.
Shanxi merchants used to be very famous and the first merchants in the world. However, from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the limelight of Shanxi merchants was robbed by Huizhou merchants, because Huizhou merchants had the advantage of being close to the water and took control of the Huaiyang salt industry.
Shanxi merchants were not reconciled, so they took a slanted sword and began to collude with Houjin to betray national interests.
Who in the world doesn't know that Shanxi merchants are traitors?
Especially those eight Shanxi merchants?
The Tartars conferred the names of the eight imperial merchants in the House of Internal Affairs.
"Last year, the Tartars sent the clan general Yue Le to lead troops to conquer Datong Jiang Guan. After fighting for more than half a year, Jiang Guan was a little bit unable to hold on. Now only Datong City is left to guard, and there is not much food and grass." Speaking of Shanxi, now There were also many controversies in the Shaotian court.
Jiang Guan's rebellion was due to his resentment towards the Tartars and the rebellion of the Shaotian Dynasty. After he rebelled, the Emperor of Heaven also granted him the title of Admiral of Shanxi, and also made him the title of acting Duke.
However, although Jiang Tuan raised his troops with great momentum, Wang Yongqiang from northern Shaanxi and Mi Layin from Gansu responded by raising troops, and all parts of Shanxi also raised troops one after another, but the Tartars also quickly mobilized troops to fight Jiang Tuan.
Although Jiang Yu had served as the commander-in-chief of the Datong of the Ming Dynasty, Dashun, and Daqing, he was beaten and retreated steadily when faced with the conquest of the Qing court, and he did not harden himself well.
Now trapped in Datong City, the city will be destroyed at any time.
"The rest of the rebel armies in Shanxi now have only two remaining groups that are still holding on. They are Gao Ding, a generation of guerrillas who retreated to Mount Wutai, and Zhang Wugui's department in the south."
Zhang Ding was originally a bandit in the late Ming Dynasty. After the uprising, he claimed to be the general soldier. Daming also awarded him the title of general soldier in Shanxi. He captured some cities, but when the main force of the Qing army came, he was defeated and retreated to the Wutai Mountain area. , here the mountains are high and the forests are dense, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Tu Guobao is still active in the Baiyangdian area near Baoding, right? I think Zhang Ding can go through Taihang first, enter the Beizhi area, and go to the Zhending area for guerrilla warfare. Since the Tatars have entered Shanxi on their own initiative, they can harass and plunder Hebei. It can not only avoid being surrounded and wiped out, but also mobilize and restrain some Tartar troops, and relieve some pressure on Datong."
"Zhang Wugui's troops have no bases, and they fight on the move. They have a lot of soldiers and horses, but they lack a foothold. The Tartars began to encircle them, which is also very dangerous."
"The rest of the tribes, such as Liu Qian and Yu Yin, have been successively defeated by the Tartars and scattered everywhere."
The uprising wave in Shanxi was like a flash in the pan.
Even the brothers Wang Yongqiang in Guanzhong have already retreated steadily under the counterattack of the Qing army in Guanzhong, losing their cities and territories, and their morale plummeted.
"Would you like to launch an offensive in Henan, Shandong and other places to rescue Jiang Yu, Wang Yongqiang and others?"
Zhu Yihai looked at the map. In fact, he didn't place much hope on the capricious Jiang Yu and others. Being able to instigate their uprising did play a big role. Last year, the Ming army got a rare opportunity to rest and even be able to Go around to Liaodong to attack the Tartar lair.
Moreover, the uprising by Wang Yongqiang and others forced the Tartars to withdraw their troops in Hanzhong, and allowed He Hongqi Mi Layin and others to successfully capture and stabilize the Hexi area of Longyou.
But now the uprisings in Shanxi and northern Shaanxi are about to be extinguished, and the imperial court can't do nothing.
"Li Jiyu besieged Luoyang, and Xu Dingguo besieged Kaifeng. They have been besieging Kaifeng for more than half a year. Should we send troops to reinforce them? Or should we directly transfer the Huainan Imperial Battalion to take Yingzhou or Xuzhou?"
"Or should we directly attack Jinan?" Several ministers proposed to encircle Wei and save Zhao, so that the Qin and Jin rebels could not be wiped out by the Tartars.
Zhu Yihai looked at the snowflakes outside the hall, it was the New Year, the weather was cold, it was not a good time to send troops to fight, and it was not easy to besiege the city.
But it is true that the Qin and Jin rebels cannot be wiped out by the Tartars like this.
"We can ask Zhu Zhongyi to take Guidezhen troops to the north to reinforce Xu Dingguo, and then transfer Li Jiyu to withdraw the siege of Luoyang first, and the main force to encircle Kaifeng. If Kaifeng can be captured, then we can take advantage of the situation to attack Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and cross the Yellow River to take Hanoi. , the troops came to the foot of the Wangwu Taihang Mountains to meet Zhang Wugui's troops, or let Zhang Ding and Tu Guobao go south to meet, and then attack Zelu and Zelu, and seize the Shangdang highlands. Threatening Taiyuan, supporting Datong."
"Use the soldiers from Huainan to contain the Tartars of Yingzhou and Xuzhou, and prevent them from going north for reinforcements.
Our soldiers in Denglai can act like soldiers in Jinan. "
Zhu Yihai looked at the map and proposed a battle plan. Xu Dingguo, Li Jiyu, Zhu Zhongyi, Liang Minren Qi of the Yuyuan Army, and Li Huajing and other troops would attack Kaifeng and fight all the way to Shangdang in Shanxi to meet Zhang Wugui and Zhang Ding Waiting for the rebels, even let the Tu Guobao Department in Hebei go to join forces.
They are the main attack.
The Imperial Battalion was in charge of encircling the main forces of the Tartars living in Shandong, Henan, biting the Ru, Ying, Xu, and Jinan Qing armies and encircling them without attacking them.
Fight if they dare to come out, don't let them go for reinforcements, if they don't go out of the city, they will form a wall outside the city to surround them.
The main reason for surrounding and not fighting is that the Tartars in these cities are still quite tough, and each city has at least tens of thousands of Manchus and Han troops, and they are all strong cities. If they attack hard, Zhu Yihai thinks that the casualties will be great , beyond his acceptable range.
So I plan to surround it first, and fight hard.
It's okay to fight, unless the Tartars go out of the city to fight, and then they will fight outside.
Although the Ming army got a rare opportunity last year, and after half a year of rest and training, their strength has increased a lot, especially the new equipment of a lot of cotton armor muskets, etc., but Zhu Yihai is still very cautious.
"Over there in Hanzhong, Zhang Xianzhong's West Camp is almost exhausted and has been abolished. An order has been sent to Wen Anzhi to look for opportunities to attack Hanzhong according to the situation. We must put some pressure on Guanzhong."
"In addition, the Zhongkai Zhongyi Zhongzhen Zhutun Towns can also gather some troops before the spring plowing to launch another attack on Yunyang and Jingxiang. Camps in Huguang and Jiangxi can also send troops to Wuchang and Qihuang."
A game of chess across the country must be coordinated.
True or false, wait for the opportunity to move, as long as the tartar shows a flaw, he will bite hard.
Whether to fight or not depends on the situation, but at least the Tartars cannot easily mobilize troops from various places, and the Tartars' soldiers and horses must continue to be crucified on various battlefields.
"I suggest that Wu Sangui, Wu Shunhua, Ma Ke, Bai Guangen and other Han generals who surrendered to the Han should continue to recruit and instigate rebellion."
Zhu Yihai mulled over this suggestion for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, as long as they are willing to return from the wrong path, lead their troops to revolt and surrender, and fight against the Qing Dynasty and the captives, I will grant them the title of Duke and Marquis."
"If you persist in your obsession and resist to the end, don't blame me for being ruthless in the future. At that time, all the families will be copied and executed, and the nine clans will be imprisoned. The males will be cut off, and the females will not be prostitutes!" The emperor issued an astonishing threat.
