There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

After seizing Beijing and proclaiming himself emperor and basically straightening out the internal affairs, Lin Feng presided over a military meeting to discuss the next steps to pacify the world.

Lu Xiangsheng and Song Jilie from the Fifth Army Commander's Office attended the meeting, while Fang Xiaoyu was still absent in South Zhili.

General Staff Director Wang Qin, Zhongshu Ling Lin Jiakang, Intelligence Department Director Guo Zheng and others have all arrived in Beijing from Xi'an.

Lu Xiangsheng first introduced the current domestic situation in the Ming Dynasty. He combined the map and said: "Your Majesty, because this dynasty change has adopted the Zen method, the domestic regime change is very calm.

Nanjing and the surrounding states and counties in Southern Zhili had already been occupied by the Southern Expedition Corps led by Commander Fang Xiaoyu when we captured Beijing.

After the emperor ascended the throne, messages were sent to Zhejiang, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. However, no news has been sent back to Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan due to their remoteness.

Fujian was actually controlled by the chief military officer Zheng Zhilong, who had 50,000 troops and thousands of ships at his command. In addition, Zheng Zhilong also controlled Yizhou and was the maritime overlord along the coast of the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the imperial edict from the emperor, Zheng Zhilong has not expressed his surrender yet, and may still want to bargain with the court. "

"How difficult is it to pacify Fujian?" Lin Feng asked.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong's powerful army at sea is definitely no match for our Zhenming Army on land. However, he built a strong city in Anping, Fujian (today's Anhai Town, Nan'an, Fujian). The soldiers who defended the city were strong and powerful. It is said that they were quite powerful. For the elite." Lu Xiangsheng replied.

"I ordered Fang Xiaoyu's Southern Expedition Corps to continue moving south to press against Fujian. If Zheng Zhilong wants to bargain, let him see the strength of the imperial court first," Lin Feng ordered.

"According to the order!" Lu Xiangsheng replied, and then continued: "Your Majesty, the remaining areas in the country that have not been pacified are the Manchus in Liaodong. The Shanxi Combat Division led by Zhou Rui is still confronting the main force of the Manchus in Liaoyang. ”

After hearing this, Lin Feng looked at the map and pondered for a while before ordering: "Currently, the primary task of our Zhenming Army is to pacify all parties and achieve the reunification of the world. To accomplish this goal, there are two main fronts: the north and the south.

Let me talk about the northern front first. The main purpose is to completely defeat the Manchu Tatars and regain their homeland in Liaodong.

Jiandou, you will still lead the Tartar Regiment on the northern front. You should not hold the concurrent position of division commander of the 1st Cavalry Division. Li Dingguo of the Guards Division will take over as division commander.

In addition, in order to increase the strength of the troops, you also brought Lu Jun's Henan Combat Division.

In this way, your Tatar Army Corps will command a total of four divisions: 1 Cavalry Division, 1 Henan Combat Division, 1 Shanxi Combat Division and Liaoxi Garrison Division, each with 70,000 people, plus some surrendered troops from Jinzhou, Liaoxi. Is it enough to attack Manta? ? "

"If we have enough troops, I will pacify Liaodong as soon as possible!" Lu Xiangsheng said.

"On the southern front, the main task is to deal with Zheng Zhilong in Fujian, and the Southern Expedition Corps led by Fang Xiaoyu is responsible for this.

But what I am concerned about now is not only the occupation of Fujian territory, but more importantly, the restoration and formation of the navy as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong cannot be defeated on land and we will have no choice but to lead his fleet to escape to Yizhou. And I heard that Europa and other foreigners have built ocean-going warships and have occupied Southeast Asia and other places. They also need us to build a strong navy.

This matter is very important. You, Song Jilie, will lead Li Xin and Zhao Zhixin from the Logistics Department. You will also notify Li Xiongxing to lead his personal guard brigade to participate and be responsible for forming our Zhenming Navy.

The naval headquarters was established in Songjiang (now Shanghai), which was relatively close to the future capital of Nanjing, making it convenient for me to inspect. "

"According to the order!" Song Jilie and others replied.

"In addition, Hongtu's Third Mobile Combat Division is ordered to set off from Sichuan, and Peng Xing's First Hubei Combat Division is set off from Huguang to send troops to Yunnan and Guangxi respectively to control the two most remote provinces of the Ming Dynasty." "Wang Qin, your staff officer Based on the needs of occupying the whole country, the headquarters discussed and proposed a plan to form a garrison division, and gathered some troops nearby to form them.

In addition, I will use my personal guard division as the team, and then select some elites from each division to fully identify the selected troops from the original Ming court and reorganize the Ming capital camp.

The governor of the Beijing camp is led by me personally, and the deputy governor is concurrently served by Wang Qin. There are four combat divisions, namely, the Zhengdong, Zhengnan, Zhengxi, and Zhengbei divisions. From now on, the Beijing Camp will become the most elite Central Army of our Ming Dynasty. "

"I obey the order!" Wang Qin accepted the order excitedly.

After the military conference to pacify the world was held, the Zhenming Army quickly swept across the world.

In early November, the Zhengnan Regiment led by Fang Xiaoyu invaded Fujian and beat the Zheng Army, which had never fought on land, to flee.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't bear to part with the mansion he built in Anping, and he didn't want to live a wandering life at sea anymore, so he chose to surrender to the new dynasty.

This was also his choice in history. After the Qing Dynasty took over the Central Plains, he also chose to surrender.

Now that the Zhenming Army has inherited the Ming Dynasty and is stronger, he has no reason to refuse to surrender.

After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, he was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenhai by Lin Feng. After ordering him to hand over his fleet, Anping was granted to him as a fief.

With the large number of sea ships returned by Zheng Zhilong, the formation of the Zhenming Navy under Song Jilie's charge was greatly accelerated. With the continuous launch of large-tonnage steamships manufactured by the Zhenming Ordnance Factory, the Zhenming Navy became the most powerful water force in Asia.

In mid-November, Lu Xiangsheng led the Tartar levy to encircle the Manchu-Tatar city of Shengjing.

At this time, the Mantar Company was defeated. The Eight Banners cavalry, which was originally invincible in field battles, no longer dared to engage in field battles with the main force of the Zhenming Army.

As a large number of troops were annihilated and the city in the hinterland was captured, people in Shengjing were panicked.

With the cooperation of internal forces, Lu Xiangsheng captured Shengjing City in just three days.

Taiji, the Tatar chieftain, was already seriously ill. He chose to set himself on fire with his beloved concubine Hailanzhu, who was also seriously ill, and died on the same day in the same year and month.

Prince Rui Dorgon was beheaded when the city was broken, and other Manchus chose to surrender under the leadership of Prince Heshuo Zheng Jierhalang, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately led troops to threaten North Korea. King Li Zong of North Korea simply chose to surrender, and North Korea once again became a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

In early December, Hong Tu led the 3rd Mobile Division to Yunnan, Peng Xing led the 1st Hubei Combat Division to Guangxi, and Fang Xiaoyu sent a force of troops into Guangdong, achieving the occupation of the entire country.

After Lin Feng ascended the throne and became emperor, he ordered the abolition of the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed in the late Ming Dynasty such as Liao's salary, suppression salary, and levy salary throughout the country. The burden on the people was relieved, and the peasant uprisings that had been raging everywhere were immediately subsided.

At the same time, by increasing investment in infrastructure across the country and vigorously developing industry and commerce, the Ming Dynasty's economy recovered rapidly, and the commercial taxes collected could fully meet the expenses of various government agencies.

The new Ming Dynasty showed great vitality.

Lin Feng also began to set his sights on Ryukyu, Japan, Luzon and other places. The Zhenming Army's new journey is about to begin!
