Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 438 Daming Marine Corps

Xiaoying laughed and said: "Li Dingguo is very shrewd, but isn't he out of his mind? He would rather surrender to Zheng Zhilong than to surrender to Daming. He is so ignorant of current affairs! Probably he would never have dreamed that if it wasn't for Brother Lin, He is still in the capital's death row with his godfather Zhang Xianzhong!"

Zhe Zhe also chimed in, "This man is too hateful. Brother Lin has been captured twice, but he is still relentless. If he is caught again, he will be cut into pieces, and his family will be ransacked!"

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, "Li Dingguo, the thief, Zheng Zhilong, the pirate, and the thief and the pirate are in the same boat, it's understandable, don't make a fuss."

Lin Yi talked and laughed happily, and seemed to have no hatred for Li Dingguo's defection to Zheng Zhilong.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe looked at each other, and their expressions were a bit complicated. Back then, Lin Yi set up a trick for Gao Guiying and Li Yan thousands of miles away, and captured Li Dingguo alive for the second time, and caught Zhang Xianzhong out of Sichuan. On their way to the capital, Lin Yi ordered people to secretly create opportunities for Li Dingguo to escape. Now that the trouble is coming, doesn't Brother Lin regret it at all?this matter……

The two beauties kept shaking their heads.

For this famous Nanming general Li Dingguo, Lin Yi has already made plans, so far, Lin Yi has been dealing with him for a long time.

Lin Yi had a feeling for his fame before crossing. He was highly regarded in history. He is completely different from Sun Kewang and his like. Although they are both Zhang Xianzhong's godsons, they are both extremely important to the Daxi regime and the Nanming government. influence, but the two brothers took a completely different path.

Sun Kewang finally surrendered to the Manchu Tartars, became a traitor and lackey, and became the imperial tool of the Manchus to massacre and enslave Han people.

In the face of national justice, Li Dingguo united with Li Zicheng's old troops, even disregarding previous suspicions, united with Nanming, and joined forces with Zheng Chenggong to establish a broad national united front against the Qing Dynasty. The Road to National Heroes.

Therefore, it is well deserved for some historians to define Li Dingguo as a patriotic general and a national hero.

This is of course the rational understanding Ji Dong acquired from book knowledge and film and television novels before time travelling. After time travelling, he has also had many contacts with Li Dingguo over the years, and it can even be said that he is an old opponent who has been dealing with for a long time.

Therefore, Lin Yi has a deep and good impression of Li Dingguo, but it is the opposite for Sun Kewang. Of course, his time travel has also changed the historical fate of Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang. Now it seems that Sun Kewang has no chance to surrender to the Manchus. There is also no chance to help Baonan Ming to establish a national united front to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

But whether a person's quality is good or bad is not necessarily reflected by a specific thing, it should be reflected by many things.

So far, Ji Dong has not discovered that Li Dingguo has no reactionary nature. As for being a traitor against Ming Dynasty, it is just under certain historical conditions, with different positions and different paths. There is nothing wrong with winning and losing.

This is the vision of Ji Dong as a time traveler. Of course, this kind of vision transcends history, and it is beyond the comprehension and speculation of those in reality in the Ming Dynasty.

This shows that history has not misremembered Li Dingguo.

But since Ji Yi crossed over, he was labeled. This chess game has been decided, and the two of them are born to be rivals.Heroes cherish each other, of course Ji Dong can't bear to be hurt.

But not harming does not mean that it cannot be used. That's why there was a battle in Xiangyang. After Lin Yi captured Li Dingguo alive, he exchanged him for Zhang Xianzhong's 64 taels of silver. Prisoners have a chance to escape.

No one can figure out exactly what Lin Yi is thinking. Is it easy to catch a court thug like Li Dingguo?But Ji Dong actually wanted to use this method to release him time and time again, treating him like a joke, especially the last time was tantamount to unconditional release, and he even pretended to let him go back to fight with Sun Kewang, disintegrate the remaining forces of Daxi, so that they can be together annihilate them.

This move looks ingenious, but it is extremely dangerous, and only Lin Yi dares to use it!

Now Li Dingguo has completed the mission of disintegrating the remnants of Daxi, but now the trouble is coming, he even took refuge in Zheng Zhilong!

But Ji Dong didn't take it seriously at all. While talking and laughing, he asked his subordinate Li Dingguo's strength?

Someone replied: "Master Jian Guo, Li Dingguo is powerful, not inferior to Sun Kewang. After Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang broke up, he led a team to occupy Guizhou and recruited troops. He was still fighting under the banner of the Great Western Army. Because of his He is well-run in the army and won the hearts of the people. Soon there are 10,000+ people under his command. In addition to Li Dingguo, there are also Wang Zhaolin in his team who can conquer wars. This is the left prime minister when Zhang Xianzhong became emperor, and now Li Dingguo Liu Wenxiu, who is also one of Zhang Xianzhong's godsons, was awarded the title of Funan King because of his meritorious service, and is good at water warfare, and Zhang Hualong, who was one of the five armies before Zhang Xianzhong became emperor. The commander of the right army also has unstoppable courage..."

Lin Yi nodded after listening. Li Dingguo's strength should not be underestimated.Regarding the rebellion in the southeast sea, Lin Yi had long wanted to deal with Zheng Zhilong and the others. He had no time to look around before, but now he has finally freed up his hands. This time, he quelled Yunnan, Guizhou, and conquered Burma, so as not to have to move back to Beijing, so he started directly from here. Zheng Zhilong, who is in the southeast, is a man who is both a businessman, an official and a thief. He has deep roots, and he can take both black and white. When Chongzhen was in the past, he had no choice. Down.Now with the addition of Li Dingguo, it is already tricky enough.

But more than once, Lin Yi's Eastern Expedition also has a strategic purpose, which is to restore sovereignty over Macau and the island of Taiwan.

Of course Ji Dong knew that these two places had actually been occupied by Western powers.

Macau was a leased territory of Portugal in the middle of the 16th century, and the reigning emperor was Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong, who was Emperor Jiajing.

It should be said that the early Emperor Jiajing was still a very accomplished emperor. He reigned for 46 years, and he worked hard in the early stage, but in the later stage, his courtiers became more and more dissolute. At that time, Portugal and Spain were both European maritime powers. Carve up the world, divide colonies and spheres of influence everywhere, and finally they discovered that there are still China and Japan in this world, and China is so big that there is no limit, so Spain went to Taiwan in China, and Portugal went to Macau.Thinking that these are two dispensable pieces of fat in China, they intend to take a bite.

But Portugal is very cunning, not as arrogant as Spain, killing people and setting fires everywhere, forcing rents and taxes, and implementing a slavery policy. He is very low-key, and it is also because Macau is very close to the mainland. Sleepy oriental sleeping lions, once awake, will devour them in one gulp.

Therefore, Portugal signed a lease agreement with the Jiajing government to do business here, and apparently supported the work of the local officials of the Ming Dynasty, and made huge profits from it. The emperor ignored the government, and the local officials did nothing. Decades after the Great Ming Emperor, Jiajing Emperor passed away and was replaced by Longqing, who reigned for only seven years and did nothing earth-shattering, so Portugal has been renting here.

Later, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was replaced by Wanli, who was the one who did not go to court for 30 to 276 years in history.The 40 years of the Ming Dynasty did not count as Nanming. There were sixteen emperors in total, but there were not many emperors who made achievements. Emperor Wanli was one of them. He was compared with Emperor Jiajing. Both reigned longer, both [-] For many years, and they all worked hard in the early stage, and were extravagant in the later stage.

But many people think that the decline of the Ming Dynasty began with Wanli, because during the Wanli period, not only three major expeditions were carried out, but at least five wars were carried out. In the two battles, Ming was actually defeated. Needless to say, Saarhu, as we all know, Ming was defeated in a mess, which led to the rise of Hou Jin and Qing, and became the gravedigger of Ming.Although the scale of the China-Myanmar War was small, it lasted for a long time, and there were winners and losers. But in the end, the war ended and it directly led to the independence of Myanmar. A large piece of territory that belonged to Ming Dynasty was given to Myanmar. Before Wanli, Myanmar is Chinese territory.Therefore, it is reasonable to say that the decline of the Ming Dynasty began in Wanli.

Portugal can still adapt to the ups and downs of the emperor. After Wanli, several emperors were changed, and the Portuguese colonists were still able to adapt to all changes. In this way, the emperor of Ming Dynasty changed one after another, and the Portuguese colonists have been relying on Macau. If you don't leave, it's like Lao Lai who borrowed money and didn't pay it back.

Now that Lin Yi supervises the Ming Dynasty, this matter must not be left alone.

Then there is Taiwan, the treasure island of China, which hangs alone overseas. The emperors who had made achievements in the Ming Dynasty were beyond their reach, let alone those fatuous kings. The residents and local officials on the island were ultimately unable to fight against the colonial powers. It was repeated again and again, but now the colonists on the island of Taiwan have changed, and the Dutch drove away the Spanish.

But these Dutch red-haired boys are much worse than the Spaniards, and they have intensified, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil.It aroused strong resistance from the residents on the island, but it was of no avail after all. Moreover, the Netherlands has taken advantage of the civil war in Ming Dynasty and has no time to take into account overseas opportunities. Thousands of people have also increased tenfold to [-] people. They built castles and other military facilities on the island. It is obvious that they are not gone. As the Ming government, Lin Yi certainly can't ignore it.

This time, Lin Yi pacified the southeast sea, including Portugal and the Netherlands. When he was cleaning up Zheng Zhilong, he decided to stew them with a spoonful.

But to clean up these reactionary forces at home and abroad, there must be a strong navy. Lin Yi calculated that he planned a one-year journey to pacify the Southwest, and now it only takes 8 months, which is 4 months earlier than the original plan. However, his naval training plan and shipbuilding plan were completed within one year. Since Lin Yi completed the strategic task of pacifying the Southwest ahead of schedule, the training of the navy and shipbuilding seemed to lag behind.

But Lin Yi can't wait these few months, because now that Li Dingguo has joined, Zheng Zhilong's power has doubled, and he has to step up his plan to strengthen the army, which is to carry out the Daming Special Forces to the end.

Under Ji Yi's planning, after training and actual combat, after several times of sharpening, the current women's battalion has the characteristics of special forces. Needless to say, the physical fitness of the more than 300 female battalion soldiers immediately charged, stepped down to fight, rode horses, and shot arrows Guns, firearms, everything can be used, but the ability in water is still a shortcoming.

Now he plans to train for another three months, specializing in training to fight on ships and in the water, when the time comes, Daming's Marine Corps is about to emerge.

Still the same sentence, 20 troops can't wait, so Lin Yi immediately dispatched generals to launch an annihilation operation mainly based on land warfare.

Specifically, the army is divided into two groups. The first is to use Yunnan King Mu Tianbo as the commander-in-chief and Song Xiance as the military division. They are given 10 troops. Department of Li Dingguo.In addition to Sha Dingzhou, the chieftain of Yunnan, the generals accompanying the soldiers and horses along this route included Li Guo, Li Laiheng, Gao Yigong, Tian Jianxiu, Ma Xianglin, Ma Wannian, Qin Jiming and so on.

The second route is led by Gao Guiying, Li Yan as the military division, and 10 soldiers and horses. They serve as the South Route Army and point their swords at Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian. As well as Mongolian generals Minmin Mutel, Tieshubuhua, Subutai and so on.

The two armies, 20 strong, set off from the China-Myanmar border all the way north and all the way east.

After the two groups left, Lin Yi started his Marine Corps training program, and he chose a place along the coast of Guangxi.

Now most of Guangxi has fallen into the hands of Li Dingguo and Zheng Zhilong. Because Li Dingguo has taken refuge in Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong is very happy. Of course he has heard of Li Dingguo's reputation for a long time. He knows that this is one of the best figures under Zhang Xianzhong, a general who can conquer wars , come to join him, Zheng Zhilong is employing people, so he has such a general and 10,000+ soldiers, of course he can't wait for it.

Zheng Zhilong met Li Dingguo in person, and immediately named Li Dingguo as a general, expressing his respect and trust for his 10,000+ army, and he did not change any mobilization. He also sent his son Zheng Damu as Li Dingguo's deputy. The 2 Zheng Jiajun took a large amount of money and food as rewards, and then they joined forces and led their troops to wipe out Guangxi.

Before Lin Yi's troops arrived in Guangxi, the army here was of course the old army of Ming Dynasty. How could it not resist the situation of Li Dingguo and Zheng Damu? Zheng Damu is the national hero Zheng Chenggong of later generations.Therefore, the 10,000+ troops of Li Dingguo and Zheng Damu fought from Guizhou to Guangxi. Within a month, the rebels almost occupied the entire Guangxi, leaving only a few counties in the west and south.

Ji Dong has taken a fancy to these counties and wants to use them as his Marine Corps training base.After the two armies of the Ming army were dispatched, Lin Yi brought a total of 2 horses including the Standard Battalion, Invincible Battalion, Guards Battalion, Women's Battalion, and Jinyiwei. Accompanied by the governor of Guangxi, he came to Lianzhou Prefecture, which is the future Guangxi Province. Beihai City.
