Dragon Sea Empire

Before announcing the withdrawal of the capital.The dispute within the imperial court was due to the joint petition of Jiangnan officials and Ye Xianggao's letter to senior officials.Once again entered the fierce quarrel stage of confrontation.

One thing is clear.Regardless of suppression and appeasement.Officials of the imperial court expressed their opposition to the negotiation conditions of the cracked soil to seal the king.in addition.No matter which side feels that the Chinese Army is difficult to deal with.Those who advocate continued "suppression" are not sure about destroying the Chinese army.I just think that you can't recruit and negotiate peace just because you have lost a battle.This is a huge damage to the prestige of the court.after all.Although the island of Taiwan, where the Chinese company is located, looks like a foreign country.But nominally it belongs to the territory under the rule of the imperial court.It is different from the frontier minority autonomous regions such as Jurchen and Mongolia.The most critical point: the Chinese military actively requested peace talks.It seems that there is no intention to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace it.

In the Ming Dynasty, the officials and gentlemen were subclasses.The Chinese company is a monster.Yin Feng is a different kind of weirdo.They built their country on business.The land is no more than a few overseas isolated islands such as Taiwan.The population is no more than one million.It was able to beat the huge Ming Dynasty into a mess.Zhonghua Corporation believes in Buddhism, Mazu, and God.There are also scholars who read the Tao of Confucius and Mencius.It also advocates Western learning, miscellaneous learning, and military science.But it was able to sweep across the coast with a uniform military force.In short.In the eyes of bureaucrats.Zhonghua United Company is a freak out of the traditional cultural category.It cannot be explained by the original pattern of rebellion, rebel groups in traditional history.

Yin Feng openly preached that "strength determines everything" in his "East and West Travels".It also advocates overseas immigration and the expansion of territory.These are incompatible with the moral priority of Confucian scholars.

Yin Feng in his previous life was a journalist after all.Still know the power of public opinion.He has the knowledge and ability of most literati and scholars in this era.It is indeed unsightly.but.To carry out public opinion work, we still have to rely on these literati who have the right to speak.How to get these scribes to write articles that positively promote Chinese companies.It's simple: coercion and temptation.

Compared to intimidation.Incentives have a greater impact.Any scribe who is willing to write an article in the commercial newspaper positively praises the Chinese company.You can get a big bonus.Among the Jiangnan scribes newly recruited as civil servants.Someone has already taken the initiative to write articles praising Yin Feng and Zhonghua Company.Yin Feng opened the Jiangnan edition of "Business Daily" in Nanjing.Free distribution to the public.As a result, an area for reading news and job advertisements was also formed in Nanjing City.The location is at Shuiximen Wharf.

now.The Chinese company had the greatest influence on Jiangnan and the entire Ming Dynasty.It is their slogan of opposing the sea ban, demanding to open the sea to enrich the country, and to do business and benefit the people.This kind of slogan is more or less in line with the Confucian theory of benevolent government and loving the people.Anyway, late Confucian Neo-Confucianism argues propositions without logic, just epiphany.How to explain "enriching the country and benefiting the people" is a play on words.Scribes are best at it.therefore.Although Yin Feng himself and the six oaths of the Chinese company and so on.The scribes of the Ming Dynasty cannot accept it.However, the slogan of the Chinese company can still be used to make a fuss.

and.Premature schools, primary schools and various technical schools are generally set up in Taiwan.Enroll your child in school for free.Full compulsory education is implemented.This somewhat won the favor of some scribes.But what they don't know is that Taiwan only teaches "Three Character Classics" and "Thousand Character Classics" at the stage of literacy, and some Confucian classics are taught in elementary schools.Most of the time, they are teaching science courses such as mathematics derived from "Elements of Geometry".and.The establishment of technical schools, military schools, and political colleges.It has never happened before in Chinese history.

Although the literati, officials and gentry class only accounted for about 5.00% of the population.Because of the support of the regime, they have the right to speak.The ideology of ordinary people (the so-called folk tradition) is still very different from the sages of Confucius, Mencius and Confucianism.But in this case, it has to be influenced by the scribes.Announced the withdrawal of troops from Beijing.This news was first published in "Business Daily. Jiangnan Edition".Published in large print on the front page headline.At this time.People in Jiangnan have already called this newspaper "Dabao".The underground gossip published by the original printing workshops in various places is called "tabloids".

The news of the "big newspaper" shocked all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River.Many scholars who applied to be civil servants hurriedly asked their superiors: "My lord, you don't want to withdraw to Taiwan, do you?"

Aiming at the uneasiness of civil servants in the Nanjing Town Guard. "Business Daily. Jiangnan Edition" published an article a few days later.The signature is Xu Hongji.The title of the article is "Suggestions for Establishing a Jiangnan Township Mansion".The condition for openly proposing peace talks with the imperial court is to cede Jiangnan.Cracking the earth is king; because Taiwan is actually a country built by Yin Feng and Captain Yin from scratch.Naturally, it cannot be regarded as the territory of the imperial court.Therefore, we must crack the soil and seal the king.Then Jiangnan will be ceded.

This article reassured the people in Jiangnan a little.However, the court's discussion on appeasement was messed up.

Because the Chinese Army on the Northern Front used captured horses.Organized five or six thousand mounted infantry for mobile operations.The Chief Secretary Qin Wang soldiers who came one after another were defeated one by one.They were defeated in Changping, Baoding, Nanhaizi and other places.The cavalry of the Chinese Army once came to the front line of Jizhou and Shanhaiguan.

Although several important military locations around the capital were not occupied by the Chinese army.The capital is not counted as being surrounded.However, if the Chinese army cut off the water transportation, it would have already cut off the capital's food road.

The capital was trapped for several months.The grain, grass, gunpowder and even salt that the government can supply are dwindling.They had no choice but to requisition from the rich family of Xungui.In the end, it had to be requisitioned from the common people.To maintain the daily expenses of the royal family, bureaucrats, and city guards.

The main suppression faction is a group of people headed by Huang Jiashan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.Their life-saving straws are the chariot troops sent by Wen Qiu, the new governor of Jiliao, and the Qinwang soldiers from Sichuan who have just arrived in Baoding.

Governor Wenqiu of Jiliao.A native of Gushi, Henan.In the 23rd year of Wanli, he ranked 240th in the top three of Jinshi Yiwei Division.At that time, he served as the right servant of the Ministry of war and the capital of youqian.Because Wang Keshou, the former governor of Jiliao, committed suicide when Changping fell.The Ming court urgently appointed him to replace Wang Keshou as governor of Jiliao.Because the Chinese army is famous for being good at firearms combat.He mobilized all the car battalion troops from the Governor-General of Jiliao to come to the capital.Attempts to also use firearms to fight against the Chinese army.The Du Song Army, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, basically suffered no losses in the battle in the eastern suburbs of the capital.This time, in response to the attack of the car battalion troops.Juniper had to lead another 10000 attack.The rear battalion guerrillas Gong Niansui and Li Ximi led the chariot battalion and cavaliers have now set up camp and dug trenches in the north of Changping.Stand by.

Sichuan Qinwang Bing was the chieftain soldier of Shijie who was famous in suppressing the barbarian rebellion in Sichuan.That is the famous "white pole soldiers".At this time, Shijie Xuanfusi was the female general Qin Liangyu.

Although Qin Liangyu is a chieftain.But they are Han Chinese.And he is a typical poisoner of Confucian loyalty to the emperor.Her husband was killed by the tax eunuch.August of the 41st year of Wanli.Qin Liangyu's husband, Ma Qiancheng, offended the eunuch Qiu Chengyun for opening a mine, and died of illness in Yunyang Prison.According to the system that the son of the Tusi husband died, and the son was young, his wife inherited the system. Qin Liangyu succeeded Shi Jie as the Xuanfu envoy.

June of the 45th year of Wanli.The Chinese navy pirates attacked the key areas of Jingqu.The imperial court ordered conscription to aid Beijing.Without hesitation, Qin Liangyu sent his brothers Bangping and Minping [-] white soldiers to go first.Then there were three thousand fine soldiers.With his son Ma Xianglin and his deputy Zhou Guozhu, he rushed to the battlefield of the capital.After Qin Bangping and Qin Minping led their troops to Baoding.It was ordered to be under the command of Governor Wenqiu of Jiliao.Guard the vicinity of Baoding.

Stone pillar soldiers all hold a special spear.The spear end is hook-shaped.There is a ring at the end of the spear.When climbing steep mountain terrain.The front and back joints should be lapped.Agile as an ape.Because their spear shafts are all made of unpainted white shafts.People at that time called it "white pole soldiers".

Wanli 26 years.Yang Yinglong, Xuanfu envoy of Bozhou, united with nine local Shengmiao tribes to rebel.Siege the city of Chengdu.They attack everywhere.Burning and looting.Bozhou is the Zunyi area of ​​later generations.The terrain is steep.High mountains and dangerous waters.The rebels relied on natural barriers.It was rampant for a while.The imperial court dispatched Governor Li Hualong to the local troops in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang.Work together to suppress the rebels.Three thousand white soldiers led by Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu were among them.Due to the special equipment and long-term strict mountain training of the white pole soldiers.Therefore, it was very handy in the battle of Banzhou.Often give the rebels a surprise blow.No matter how high the mountains are.The white pole army can come by surprise.Like a divine soldier descending from the sky.The rebels were frightened.From then on.The white pole soldiers are famous all over the country.

Now the imperial court puts forward the hope of reversing the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.It is completely pinned on Liaodong Cheying and Baiganbing.

And the Chinese army is withdrawing from the camp in the eastern suburbs of the capital.They received Yin Feng's withdrawal order on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 46th year of Wanli.Although reluctantly.But also have to retreat.actually.Due to the seizure of a large number of military supplies.The Chinese Army lived comfortably in this cold winter.They had plenty of food, enough coal and wood for heating.Strong camps and barracks sheltered from the wind and cold, and a large number of sheepskin and mink coats traded by the Jurchen tribes in the Northeast.And the cotton-padded clothes and trousers that were prepared long ago in Taiwan.Although most of the soldiers of the Chinese Army are from the south.In this winter, it is still possible to attack and fight.

but.Chen Zhongji and others were still very reluctant to retreat in this cold season.Because I stay in the warm barracks and attack occasionally.After all, it was much better than marching in the ice and snow in the north.Just another month or two.The weather will get warmer.but.In order to be able to fight for peace talks with the imperial court.The Chinese Army must make a gesture to ease the situation.In order to obey the overall situation.Chen Zhongji ordered the evacuation of the camp in the eastern suburbs of the capital on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.

three days later.The Chinese Army is about to abandon Tongzhou.The main force of the army began to march slowly along the icy and snowy Baihe River.Head towards Tianjin Wei.but.The Ming court wanted to take advantage of the withdrawal of the Chinese army.Take the opportunity to grab a handful.Save face.Huang Jiashan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, ordered.Governor Wenqiu of Jiliao quickly attacked Tongzhou.
