Dragon Sea Empire

The boat transporting the whole family of the king of Chu gradually drifted away on the misty and rainy Yangtze River.

Xu Guangqi spent a long time on the pier reminiscing about the time when King Chu left.Pulling his sleeve and whispering in his ear: "We must negotiate peace! Xueshi Xu... This battle will continue. The great Ming Dynasty is also in danger..."

When the members of the Imperial Mission of the Ming Dynasty met Zhu Huakui, King of Chu.The prince has lost weight several times.His spirit seemed fine.When I saw the crowd paying homage to him.He rushed to help Xu Guangqi.Also shed tears for a while.After he complained about the food problem.He asked to leave Haikou's Nest immediately.

later.Zhu Huakui, king of Chu, also asked Xu Guangqi to recover the confiscated property from the Chinese Army on his behalf.Xu Guangqi responded vaguely with a wry smile.On the pier by the Yangtze River.After the king of Chu said this in his ear.Xu Guangqi's perception of Zhu Huakui changed greatly: Although this prince is greedy for money and incompetent.But not a mindless idiot.He also saw the precarious situation of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi also heard related rumors: this king of Chu was at the time when the sea bandits attacked the city.Life and death are unwilling to spend their own money to reward soldiers.As a result, the house was almost ransacked by the rebels when the city was broken.

Greedy, stupid and keen-sighted.Seemingly contradictory qualities manifested in one person at the same time.Xu Guangqi sighed a lot.

Various conflicts and conflicts between the Ming Mission and the Chinese Army.It started from Guazhou.It wasn't just the Chinese army's salute and various internal disciplines that made the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty uncomfortable.The attitude of the Chinese army towards them also made the imperial envoys very unhappy.

Needless to say, members of the Chinese Army itself.The military officers and staff sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Zhonghua Company of Taiwan's Zhonghua Palace to serve this negotiation.Even the small officials and hired workers recruited by the Chinese Army in Jiangnan.They didn't take the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty seriously.When they were entertaining the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the imperial envoys of the Ming Dynasty.It's a businesslike attitude.There was no sign of trepidation at all.He has no sense of being a pirate at all.

The Chinese Army officers in charge of escorting the mission did not allow the mission to launch a full set of imperial envoys on the road.They are only allowed to fly the imperial envoy's festival flag.

Those local country gentlemen and ordinary peasants.I saw the imperial envoy's banner symbolizing the emperor's presence.Kowtow and kneel on the side of the road.So that Xu Guangqi and his party can somewhat experience the treatment of some angels.

but.The guarding infantry of the Chinese Army did not allow others to get close to the imperial mission.Members of the mission were also not allowed to stop and contact the locals.The excuse was "to ensure the safety of the envoys".

but.The Chinese Army ruled area passed by along the way.The envoys of the Ming Dynasty did not see any miserable scenes of poor livelihood and starvation.The common people farmed, fished, spun and weaved, raised silkworms and drew silk.Each goes his own way.Although there are traces of war left in some places.You can also see many Chinese soldiers and armed regiments practicing coming and going.However, scenes of peace and harmony between the local people and the Chinese army abound.In the fairs on the banks of several canals.The envoys also saw the scenes of soldiers wearing black and dark blue uniforms of the Chinese Army peacefully trading with local people and chatting with each other over wine.Everything here.Everything seems to be in order.It doesn't look like an occupied area in the hands of pirates at all.The law and order seems to be better than that of the Ming Dynasty.

When Xu Guangqi negotiated with the Chinese Army last time.I have seen the military discipline of the Chinese Army.This time, I saw with my own eyes the various conditions of the people's livelihood under their governance.Recalling the scene of officers and soldiers looting and killing people when they first entered Yangzhou City.I feel very depressed.

In short.The continuous rain along the way ruined the mood of the envoys of Ming Dynasty.The behavior of the Haikou Army made Xu Guangqi and others feel extremely bad.

When the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Suzhou.It is already a good day in the south of the Yangtze River where the rain is over and the sky is sunny, the sun is warm and warm, and everything is full of vitality.

The eighth day of May.There was a dispute between the Daming Recruitment Mission and the relevant personnel of the Jiangnan Town Guard Mansion of the Chinese Army over the location of the station.Soon there was a dispute over food supplies.Formal negotiations have not yet begun.All sorts of details surfaced.It made the specific handling personnel of both parties overwhelmed and annoyed.

When entering Suzhou City.Sheng Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Nanjing and Jiangnan Appeasement Ambassador Sheng Yihong, saw that the person who came to greet him was only a small officer in the Chinese Army.I just couldn't bear to jump out.Accused the Chinese Army of "insulting the angels".refused to enter the city.

In fact, this junior officer was Chen Zhongji.The guard envoy of Jiangnan Town Guard Mansion and the general manager of Jiangnan Xingjun Road.Wearing the rank of Colonel.It's just because Chen Zhongji is only in his 30s.Not tall, with a handsome face.I have lived in Jiangnan for the past two years.It made his face that had been blackened by the sea breeze become fair.Therefore, he was mistaken by the envoys of the Ming Dynasty as just a small military officer.certainly.Chen Zhongji was wearing a western-style white military uniform.The colonel rank insignia he wears.Sheng Yihong didn't know him at all.

Fortunately, You Wenhui stood up and explained: the young man in front of him is the supreme commander of the Chinese Army in Jiangnan.The rank of colonel is equivalent to the commander-in-chief of a town in the Ming Dynasty.

Sheng Yihong muttered and said: "...I am waiting for the emperor to appease you. No matter what, you have to let the big boss come out to meet you in person. Such a neglect of the court angel. Is there no sincerity at all..."

Xu Guangqi shook his head: "This is a trivial matter. Your Excellency. The court is a major matter." Finished.Be the first to step into town.

To arrange a meeting place for negotiations.The two sides had a dispute again: Xu Guangqi and others were unwilling to enter the former Suzhou government office with the words "Jiangnan Township Suzhou Government Office" hanging.And Chen Zhongji and others were unwilling to go to Suzhou Weaving Mansion, the place of residence designated by the Daming Mission, to negotiate.

Sheng Yihong proposed again.The imperial envoy sent by the court to appease.For example, Xu Guangqi, a senior scholar, is a second-rank senior official in the cabinet.In order to mark the sincerity of the peace talks.Negotiating parties are on equal footing.The Chinese Army must allow President Yin Feng to negotiate in person.

Zeng Yue stood up at this moment.Mark that he has carte blanche of Yin Feng.Can participate in all negotiations and make decisions on behalf of Yin Feng.this time.Even Xu Guangqi expressed dissatisfaction.It is believed that it is necessary to negotiate directly with Yin Feng to reach a peace agreement.He was worried that Zeng Yue and others did not have enough decision-making power.It will make this negotiation protracted.

These disputes have not yet reached a compromise.A residence report from the capital of the Ming Dynasty passed through Chen Zhongji's hand.Passed to Xu Guangqi's hands.Xu Guangqi, Sheng Yihong and others took a look at the mansion newspaper.His face was ugly.

The residence report was issued in the capital more than half a month ago.It was sent by sea from the inside of the Chinese Army's hidden pile.The residence newspaper mentioned that Tusi She Chongming had surrounded Chengdu.Defeated the Chuandong Ming Army.more importantly.It was mentioned in the mansion newspaper that the chieftain in Shuixi rebelled.

早在洪武年间。水西土司头目奢香向大明称臣纳贡。每年向明廷贡马与其他地方土产。洪武29年(1396年)奢香死。子安的袭职。其后水西安氏世代均受明朝册封。明神宗万历26年。安班臣承袭为宣慰使。因出兵协助明朝政府平定了播州土司杨应龙的叛乱。得“增官进秩”。万历36年安尧臣袭职。安尧臣非常跋扈。万历41年。也就是大明朝廷发布针对中华公司的海禁命令的那一年。擅自领兵数万长驱入滇。直薄落益州(云南今县),所过焚掠。备极惨毒。大明朝已经内外交困。对他毫无办法。

Wanli last year.An Yaochen died.His son took up his post in An's position.An was young.It is hosted by An Yaochen's wife Sheshehui.But the real power is in the hands of An Wei's uncle An Bangyan.An Bangyan is ambitious.He wanted to separate the territory and become king.After the extravagant incident in Chongqing.An Bangyan was actively planning the rebellion.

In March of the third year of Apocalypse.Legend has it that She Chongming has captured Chengdu.An Bangyan then coerced An to rebel.Claiming to be King of Luodian. 48 Miao Yao Tu Mu bee responds.An Bangyan captured Bijie first.Then divide the troops to capture Anshun.Song Wanhua, chieftain of Hongbian, entangled Miao Zhongjiugu to capture Longli.An Bangyan himself ruled more than [-] people.Cross the Luguang River and go straight to Guiyang.Guiyang City was surrounded on February [-]th.

at this time.It was the period when the Ming army assembled its forces to counterattack Wuchang.Some of the tribes of She Chongming and An Bangyan were recruited to the city of Wuchang.result.It was these chieftain soldiers who launched the rebellion.The counterattack plan of the Ming army was completely disrupted.

Yin Feng is in Hong Kong, Taiwan.I saw this mansion newspaper three days later than Xu Guangqi and others.He checked his profile.Discover the great minority rebellion that swept across the southwestern frontier of the Ming Empire.One year later than the history of another time and space.Yin Feng is very fortunate: the butterfly effect he set off seems to have only delayed the great rebellion for a year.It looks like.The golden finger of history.Still profitable.

What the Di Bao reproduced was the emergency memorial to Liu Xixuan, who was defending Guiyang City at that time: March [-]th (the third year of the Apocalypse).There are more than [-] Luogui and Miao Zhonghe.Cross the Guanghe.Force the dragon field.An Bangyan pretended to be the king of Luodian.Chuanxi swaggered into the city.And the seventh day of March.If you see dust flying ants gathering from the tower.Tens of thousands of barbarians.Tens of thousands of seedlings.Iron cavalry will fight.Ring five outside the hill.Camped at Chenshi.Battle at the North Gate at noon.Moved to the east gate.

at this time.Guiyang's city guards were "less than three thousand".Four thousand soldiers were temporarily recruited.After the siege.The reinforcements led by the general officer Zhang Yanfang were added.A total of about [-] people.An Bangyan defeated the reinforcements of Xu Shifeng, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, and Fan Zhongren, the general of the Ming Dynasty, in the Saicheng River area.The besieging army "sieges the city day and night. The ants are attached to the long ladder. The number of people who have fallen into the city" is the country.The Ming army defending the city was under the command of Governor Li Qi.Repeatedly repelled An Bangyan's rose attack.At this time, the food supply in Guiyang City was very tight.The rice stored in the warehouse is only [-] shi.And since the battle started.Residents outside the city fled into the city one after another.Guiyang's population soared. "Rice worth twenty gold. Eat all the bran, grass, wood and leather."

In his memorial, Liu Xixuan, Ti Xuedao of Guizhou, repeatedly asked the imperial court to send reinforcements as soon as possible.Otherwise, once the city of Guiyang falls.The southwestern half of Ming Dynasty will be completely lost.

And at this time.The main force of the Ming army.Still along the Yangtze River.Facing the pressure of the Chinese Army.Unable to reinforce Southwest.

Chen Zhongji was at a banquet for all members of the mission.Handed over this mansion report to Xu Guangqi in front of everyone.It is clear.The Chinese Army is taking advantage of the grim situation of the southwest rebellion.He oppressed the Ming Dynasty's appeasement mission to compromise.
