Win the Ding 1617

Among the several mansions in Dongshan, one of them is more magnificent and magnificent than the others.The eight guards in front of the gate stood on duty day and night, rain or shine.Under the steps made of five huge stone slabs, stonemasons carefully carved the image of Monkey King on dozens of horse-holding posts, and there is a line of small characters, "The Monkey King is here, and the horse plague is avoided."

From the steps up to the gate, there are gold bricks soaked in tung oil all over the floor. Walking on them, the spurs on the leather boots of the sergeants will occasionally sparkle, and the hoofs knocking on them, there is a faint sound of gold and stone.

On the door leaf, in accordance with the court etiquette and tradition, and the ingenuity of the owner of the mansion, in addition to the fact that officials above the third rank can be decorated with painted halberds, there are also huge sailboats and artillery patterns on the door leaf.

In the door opening, four huge lanterns with official titles swayed slightly with the evening wind blowing under the night, spreading the orange-red light outward.

"Fujian General Soldier, Admiral of the Southern Guangdong Army Navy."

That's right, the owner of this mansion is Zheng Zhilong, the commander-in-chief of Fujian Province certified by the imperial court, and the naval admiral of the Southern Guangdong Army!

In the study, Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the navy, was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, with three long beards fluttering, elegant and handsome. Like a literati who drinks wine and tea, poetry and painting.

This Zheng Zhilong is worthy of being the famous Yujiaolong who crossed the sea back then. Although he is nearly forty years old, he is still radiant and personable, and he looks like a mature uncle in his gestures. scream.

Sitting opposite Zheng Zhilong was his eldest son, Li Shouhan's second son-in-law Zheng Sen.

Between the father and son, there is a tea tray, and the Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain is being cooked in the purple sand teapot.There are several thumb-sized teacups containing yellow tea.For the sake of the past few days, the two father and son took the opportunity of drinking tea to dismiss all the people around them, only a few black ghost soldiers waited outside the door.Those nigger soldiers were naturally loyal, but they spoke Chinese very poorly.It happened to be a secret discussion between father and son.

The actions in the city of Guangzhou these days may seem calm to outsiders, but to people like Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen, who can go deep into the power core of the Southern Guangdong Army, they are somewhat thrilling.

After announcing the reform of the military system, he first ordered the Clippers to transfer Wang Bao back, and let this man of the Miao family, who had been a teacher in the lecture hall for many years, be the general counselor responsible only to Li Shouhan, who was in charge of the so-called staff headquarters.

And Chen Tianhua, the commander of the second town, happily handed over the soldiers and horses of the first town, but actually only half of the troops of the second town.At this time, the third brigade of the second town was acting as the main brigade under the command of Li Huayu in Shandong, leading the other three supplementary brigades and the garrison brigade to guard Shandong for the Southern Guangdong Army.

"Tianhua, you feel sorry for being the general office of the Military and Political Department for a period of time, and the troops in the second town will be under the direct command of the commander for a period of time. In the future, we will either select elites from other troops to supplement the establishment, or allocate new recruits to the army. The second town, in short, just have a second town full of people."

At the venue that day, Li Shouhan quietly took Second Town into his pocket.The defense of the periphery of Guangzhou City is firmly in his own hands.

In addition to Chen Tianhua's job change, Mo Yu of the guard brigade was also promoted.He became the ambassador of the military commander and became a person with authority. Similarly, the troops of the Guards Brigade were temporarily commanded by Li Huamei.

"In this way, the second town outside the city, and the Guards Brigade inside the city. Both of them are directly commanded by the lord, and when things are done, they are even more commanding and smooth!"

Zheng Sen complained, and drank the Shanghao Dahongpao in the teacup in one gulp.Although they are both Li Shouhan's sons-in-law, it seems that he entered Li's house before Shi Lang.But he didn't want to see Shi Lang, the son of a small boat owner, suppressing him everywhere.

If Li Huamei hadn't come out to compete for the navy when consulting the opinions of various ministries, I am afraid that the navy would have only one poor navy department in the shogunate, and it would be completely subordinate to the land camp from now on.

However, even so, the navy is still just an independent navy division in the staff headquarters. Although it has a complete range of categories and a large number of establishments, it is still subordinate to the three divisions of military administration and military order.

When talking about another matter, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but look more serious.

After Li Huamei won a place for the navy in the shogunate, she couldn't sit still, and immediately obeyed Li Shouhan's general order to go to the mouth of the Pearl River to mobilize the naval ships.The documents that were continuously sent back and the materials, ammunition, and clear water that were applied from the Naval Admiral's Yamen to the Naval Division and the shogunate were also huge in number and variety, obviously prepared for a large expedition.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help shaking his hands, the tea in the cup almost splashed out, he couldn't help being excited, got up and paced in the study.

He thought for a long time, with a dignified expression: "My lord has greatly adjusted the shogunate this time. This matter is very important. Obviously, my lord wants to act arbitrarily to prevent the power from falling. If you and my father can be in the heart of the lord You have made great contributions to making up your mind, and you are the lord's beloved son-in-law, and my Zheng family is here with a whole family of soldiers, horses, ships and land to vote. Follow the lord to do this big thing, and the future is naturally limitless A mere Fujian general can't be compared with future feudal lords and kings."

He got up and paced in the study, muttering: "I think that in the opinion of my father, the establishment of the various divisions of the shogunate has prevented the generals from being able to act on their own. The military order and the second military and political division are responsible for combat and supplies. Worked in the Department of Military Studies. And there are rumors that the military equipment of all provinces and prefectures will soon be in parallel with the towns. In the future, the replenishment of soldiers in all towns and brigades, the management of military supplies, food, pay, and expenses will all be brought under the jurisdiction of the shogunate. My lord, the other You have a lot of ambition. Right now, among the generals in Guangzhou, you and Shi Lang are the closest. Needless to say, Shi Lang has the highest official position and rich experience. Now, with the momentum of the two battles in Tashan and Liaodong, he is in the limelight for a while. There are quite a lot of people in the Lu camp who have made friends with him or received favors from him. You are the same Dong bed, and your status in the heart of the lord is far inferior to him!"

"Father, this statement is absurd! But you only know one thing and don't know the other."

Zheng Sen didn't see his father's worries that way. He leaned comfortably on the huanghuali official hat chair.Even though the light above his head illuminated his brightly shaved head, it was extraordinarily dazzling.This is a trend that arose in the army after arriving in Guangzhou.All ministries of the land battalion and naval division, from generals to soldiers, shaved this kind of monk's head one after another.The reason for this was Li Shouhan's words, "Casualties are inevitable for all the elites in the field. Shaving your head can reduce the probability of death from injuries." This in itself is a very plain statement.But from the ears of the officers and men of the various towns and ministries, it turned out that only elite troops, capable of fighting, were eligible to shave their heads like this.Who told us to spend so much time fighting big and bad battles!As a result, the barbers who specialize in serving temples and jungles in Guangzhou were immediately busy.

Hearing his son's nonchalant tone, Zheng Zhilong couldn't help feeling an unknown anger in his heart. In his opinion, Wang Bao, who is the leader of the barbarian faction, is now the general councilor who can give orders to the entire army.Among the navy divisions, except Zhang Xiaohu and Xu Huanshan, who were originally He Jing old men.It's him from the Fujian Maritime Group.However, now that Li Shouhan is vigorously promoting Shi Lang, he, the former boss of the maritime merchant gang and the current admiral of the Southern Guangdong Army Navy, has been put aside invisibly, and he is even in danger of being ostracized.Today, Li Huamei controls all the Nanyue warships in the Guangdong sea at the mouth of the Pearl River, but whether it is a precautionary measure to implement the reform of the military system, or to punish the rebels somewhere.He, the admiral and in-law of the navy, knew nothing about it.If things go on like this.I'm afraid that Zheng's family, which roamed across the sea back then, would be marginalized.

Zheng Sen didn't care about that, he just took a sip of tea and said to himself: "Father commander, Shi Lang's deeds are just a step down for my father-in-law, so that he can smoothly deal with the Liaodong soldiers." At the same time, it successfully found a good excuse for him to carry out the reform of many yamen in the shogunate in the army. But I can help him solve the big trouble that the rebels are swarming all over the area of ​​our Southern Guangdong Army right now!"

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity!Hearing his son's slightly arrogant words, Zheng Zhilong didn't care about his son's arrogance. Nowadays, the momentum of rebellion in various places is one after another. It is He Jing, who is the base of the Southern Guangdong Army. See you a few days ago to emergency paperwork.Some people started riots and shouted slogans to expel the northern invaders. For this matter, I heard that the lord is also worried. If Zheng Sen can quickly quell the rebellions in various places and give the Southern Guangdong Army a stable rear, then what should my Zheng family be afraid of?My lord must have looked at my father and son differently, and since then I have firmly sat on the Diaoyutai in the Southern Guangdong Army.

However, as an old fritter who has experienced the ups and downs of the battlefield and the officialdom, Zheng Zhilong will definitely not just listen to a few words from his son and let him go with confidence and boldly. Li Shouhan, who has a population of tens of millions under his rule, speaks.He had to listen to Zheng Sen tell the whole story of his plan, and then help his son study it to see how to speak and how to say that sentence.

However, Zheng Zhilong, who is also a murderous and ruthless character, suddenly changed his expression after hearing Zheng Sen finish his counter-insurgency strategy.

"Da Mu, your method is good as long as it is good, but it is a bit of a loss of virtue."

"What is the commander-in-chief worried about? Do you think the killing is too heavy? As long as the worries of our Southern Guangdong Army can be solved once and for all, I don't care how many people he kills!" Zheng Sen's face was full of justice. (As long as I can help my father-in-law solve the problem, let me show my face in front of his old man, and let my Zheng family have a solid foundation in the Southern Guangdong Army, I will let those rebellious natives die!)

When he learned from his in-law Zheng Zhilong that Zheng Sen already had a very appropriate method to deal with the rebellion of the natives in various places, and he was involving a large number of Southern Guangdong Army forces for the rebellion of the natives everywhere, which affected the overall policy plan. Annoyed, Li Shouhan immediately ordered Zheng Sen and Wu Liuqi, the brigade commander of the first mixed brigade, to be summoned to hear what these two guys, who had already been quite experienced in suppressing bandits and suppressing rebellion, had to say about their plans.

"You two, you did a good job before. Today, the commander-in-chief intends to listen to your opinions on how to calm down the smoke and dust that is so close to Taiwan and as far away as Java?"

Zheng Sen frowned slightly, and said with a livid face, "I would like to report to my father, this time I went to Taiwan with General Wu. As soon as I disembarked, I encountered a large number of naturalized aborigines and immigrant Han people who came to complain in disgrace. According to them, this The rebellion happened suddenly, and the momentum was huge. Although every village and village had a small amount of firearms and guns, the scattered militiamen were powerless to resist the Dongfan rebels who often outnumbered tens of thousands.”

"After the village was destroyed, the aboriginal rebels were extremely cruel. They killed all the young adults, looted the women, and wiped out all the food and property. However, the naturalized aborigines said that this was not surprising, because they were treated like this when they fought against each other. The so-called poverty steals the heart. I saw that in just a few years, the villages mixed with the Han people were able to read and write, and had ample food and clothing, while other villages were still poor. As a result, a common phenomenon occurred. Girls from poor villages married into the Han family or It was difficult for other villages to get married for a while in naturalized villages. In addition, there were malicious instigations, so other impoverished villages heard all kinds of rumors about the defeat of the lord Liaodong, and they all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. Therefore, in essence, Taiwan’s The rebellion is because the scope of naturalization is still too small, and the strength is still not enough.”

Li Shouhan frowned when he heard this. This kind of conflict is a common conflict after immigration, let alone between immigrants, naturalized natives and those tribes that have not yet naturalized.That is, in history, only in Taiwan, what kind of fighting between Fujian and Guangdong, and Zhangquan fighting has always been a problem during the Qing Dynasty's administration of Taiwan.It is easily tens of thousands of people.The government just turned a blind eye and closed one eye, and after the fight, the two families buried themselves in the war and died.Migration is again an essential process.How to deal with this contradiction is quite a headache.But no matter what, grassroots cadres, property and the army are indispensable. Li Shouhan was about to ask Zheng Sen how much material and manpower support he needed, but he heard Zheng Sen say: "In this case, things will be simpler. Our task is nothing more than to distinguish those people Those who support us, those who are against us, those who are on the sidelines."

Li Shouhan pondered for a moment and said: "It's easy to talk about those who support us, and they must run desperately to the port. But those who oppose us are mixed with those who wait and see, how do we divide it? It is also possible that our soldiers will press down on the border, and those who have killed people desperately deny it. Did nothing."

Zheng Sen grinned indifferently, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and said: "I have already thought about this matter. It is very simple. Before receiving the military order from my father to leave Taiwan, my son has already ordered to strengthen the port blockade. I chose to build forts along various roads, and then I used the ports along the coast of Taiwan as locks, the roads as pillars, and the forts as chains to divide Taiwan into two regions. Use our maritime advantages in various ports to hoard troops All kinds of materials needed for combat, Erchen controlled all the troops of the [-]st Mixed Brigade, except those necessary for the guards everywhere, as a mobile force. In this way, once the troops heard that there was a police, they could be transported by sea immediately. There, advance lightly and carry out raids. In this way, the law and order are naturally very good in places protected by fortresses, so we call them quasi-law and order areas. Where there are no forts, the law and order must be poor, so it is called non-law and order areas. For quasi-law and order areas , we have to allocate materials to appease, resume production, and start schools. And for non-public security areas..."

Hearing Zheng Sen's methodical talk about how he dealt with those rebellious Dongfan tribes in Taiwan, Li Shouhan couldn't help but a small thought popped into his mind, you little guy, at your Japanese grandma's house, you didn't sleep at the village house girl right? !

Before Zheng Sen finished speaking, Li Shouhan was in a cold sweat. If he remembered correctly, what happened next was very serious.

Therefore, before Zheng Sen could speak, Li Shouhan suddenly stood up and asked everyone a puzzled question: "Zheng family boy, don't you know a family named Gangcun in Dongying?"

Hearing this, Zheng Sen was very puzzled, so he replied inexplicably: "Which name is Gangcun? I really don't know it, but my lord, don't worry, now the soldiers and horses of the Japanese country are all excited. As long as the lord gives an order, even if the lord wants to make Taiwanese Mao all Non-existence is a trivial matter."

At this time, Li Shouhan realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly covered up and said, "Okay, go on, what are you going to do about this non-public security area?" In the public security area, I plan to issue an order to relocate and disarm within a time limit."

Zheng Sen's words made everyone puzzled for a while, but Li Shouhan was greatly surprised, no, shouldn't it be killing, burning, and stealing?

On the other hand, Shi Lang, who was also called by Li Shouhan to listen to Zheng Sen's lecture, reacted quickly. Hearing this, he immediately asked: "You mean to use this method to distinguish the onlookers from the rebels. The onlookers have a clear conscience and are not afraid that we will disarm and investigate, but Those who rebel must not dare to come and disarm and move."

Zheng Sen smiled and said: "Yes, that's the case. In addition, if the rebels are not afraid of death, I can let them go. In short, those who come here will never blame the past. No matter what they did before, they are remorseful. But..."

Zheng Sen paused and said: "If you don't come here, you are stubborn. I can't think of a reason to forgive the stubborn people who are not in the public security area. For this kind of people, I only have six One word." Then, Zheng Sen read out six murderous words one by one: Kill all, burn all, and steal all.

Li Shouhan felt relieved after hearing him say these extremely familiar six words. It seems that what should come will always come, but when he thinks about what kind of regime he is, how will those conscientious historians evaluate him in the future? , couldn't help but make Li Shouhan smile bitterly in his heart.Now my own directly-administered enterprises are engaged in Taizu's two participations, one reform and three combinations, the rural areas are engaged in the new democratic revolution, and they are engaged in foreign aggression and expansion.Now, the anti-insurgency in the new area is playing Sanguang, which is hated by the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians. Now even Li Shouhan himself can't see who he is.

But there is only one thing that Li Shouhan can be sure of. If he wants Taiwan to be peaceful for a long time, he really has to let Zheng Sen kill people first.However, my purpose is not to plunder Taiwan's resources, but to build and develop Taiwan, because the key to distinguishing progress and regression is to look at the hard indicators of production.

"Damn it! History books are written by people! The natives of the American continent, the Mayans, and the Indians were all killed by the Spanish and the bald eagle's westward movement. Some people say that Washington and Lincoln, who promulgated the Homestead Act and gave Indian land to those who worked for the Yankees, are invaders and butchers! On the contrary, Hollywood accuses the Indians of resisting aggression and protecting their homes as barbarians. Brutal and ignorant, unwilling to accept the rule and exploitation of the white race! Moreover, those public intellectuals who have received subsidies from the US emperor have been there to argue for their masters, saying that the US emperor never invaded China, let alone intends to borrow Watching North Korea invade China and so on, a joke, you threw bombs into my city, shot across the river into my territory, and the No.14 Air Force of the Seventh Fleet entered Taiwan. What the hell is it called aggression? ?”

Thinking of this, Li Shouhan suddenly felt relieved: "Zheng family boy, the stubborn people should be killed, but the mines, logging and smelting workshops are also in great need of people. Letting these damned people live a few more days is considered a virtue." To be continued..)
