Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

The policy is announced. Those who cooperate vigorously will naturally receive the basic respect of mercenaries. But those who don’t cooperate will be miserable. The intellectual youth stood on the street and waved, and mercenaries or Vietnam mercenaries rushed over to arrest people, and then they buckled the hats or sent them to labor camps. The crime was serious. It is also possible to kill them directly in the street.

For the foreign race, Yang Chendong will not be as tolerant as the Han Chinese. Even some ethnic minorities living in Han, such as the Miao people, Yang Chendong will have limited patience. But for Vietnam people, this kind of capricious little people country, it will not be the slightest polite. Either it is to be soft, or it is to arrest people directly, there is no third way to choose.

Under the high-pressure policy, in just five days, the security of Hanoi City has been restored to the same level as before.

When Yang Chendong walked on the street, what he saw was the normal life of the people. The only difference was that there was a lot of blood-reeking qi on the street that had not disappeared. And you can often see teams of mercenaries patrolling back and forth.

Looking at the Statistics data sent by Hu Mang, in five days, more than 5,000 people were killed in Hanoi City, and more than 40,000 people were arrested, making Hanoi City with 300,000 people. Today there are only 250,000 people left, a full 60% less.

Of course, more than 5,000 people were killed, not only those Vietnamese who rebelled, but also some Vietnamese who wanted to fish in troubled waters, and some who wanted to take the opportunity to commit any The imaginable misdeed Vietnam hires army soldiers. For this matter, Hong Jin has been scolded by Yang Chendong once.

But in any case, the situation has settled down temporarily, and the atmosphere in the city has also been brand new. The next step is to send these people to Quyi City in batches, and then send them from the sea to the small Ryukyu Islands. When the Village Officer is lacking in population, this time when 50,000 educated young people are transferred from there. Yu Qian, who was looking at the overall situation there, was very unhappy. Later, Yang Chendong said that he would pay more than hundreds of thousands of people, and then he reluctantly obtained consent.

Yu Qian is such a person. He has a righteous heart, and he is not afraid of anyone. Even if it was Yang Chendong’s order, he dared to refute one or two.

Now that hundreds of thousands of people were promised to send back, the 40,000 people caught before became the first batch, and there will be a gap of nearly 60,000, which is also to be selected from among the people in Hanoi City Up. Of course, someone else would do such a trivial matter, and Yang Chendong just arranged the order.

In five days, the situation in Hanoi City has stabilized, especially when food is sufficient, the atmosphere in the city can be considered normal. But outside the city is completely different.

When Le Li withdrew from Hanoi City before, Yang Chendong thought that the other party was going to besiege Hanoi, and stared at him. But he didn’t know what the other party would use. But five days later, he finally received the news that Le Li not only assembled 200,000 troops near Xiyucheng, but he also united Kingdom of Lao (Laos later), and they sent hundreds of troops from Yinglou Wen to Zhizhi. Came from Hanoi.

The 300,000 army is out. This is the meal Le Li prepared for Yang Chendong.

“hehe, this Le Li is really old. He thought that This Young Master would fight him in a confrontation battle, a defensive battle? With this, people want to besiege Me, hum.” Looking at the intelligence in Hu Mang’s hands, Yang Chendong hehe sneered and threw it aside. Then I was looking thoughtful and said, “Kingdom of Lao also intervened, which is good. Originally, I thought it would be no challenge to deal with a Vietnam, and even if they wanted to intervene, then they cleaned up together. Yes.”

At this moment, Yang Chendong showed strong self-confidence, without any tension or panic. Seeing him like this, Hu Mang and Yang Er on the side are also full of confidence. In their eyes, there is nothing in the world that can be difficult for Young Master, and Young Master can’t do it.

……

Five days is enough for the news of Hanoi City to spread.

Southern Ming capital Nanjing, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen in the Imperial Palace got the news, and at that moment he almost fell to the ground from Dragon Throne.

“His Imperial Majesty, be careful.” Court Eunuch manager Cao Jixiang, who had been watching closely, was also taken aback by this move and quickly reached out to help.

Zhu Qizhen, who was held on his arm and did not fall down, was in a cold sweat at the moment. He ignored Cao Jixiang’s meaning at all, but seemed to be asking or talking to himself.” Da companion, is this true? Yang Chendong only has more than 10,000 troops, so he can conquer the capital of Vietnam? There should be a few hundred thousand Vietnam army there.”

For this question, Cao Jixiang does not Knowing how to answer, the result was also beyond his expectation. Like many people, he thought in his heart that Yang Chendong and Vietnam were at war. This is the overestimate one’s capabilities. Even if he has advanced and coveted firearms in his hands, too little force is always a flaw, let alone there. The environment, topography and climate of Great Ming are different from those of Great Ming. It takes a long time to adapt to it.

It’s like when Great Ming sent troops to Vietnam and was aggressive when he went, but because of the insufficiency, the non-combat attrition was enough to hinder the army from doing too many things.

With the lessons learned, it’s not much better to want to come to mercenaries. Who knows that people will be so fierce, forcibly have been killed in their capital in a very short time, and they have succeeded? Even in the eyes of many bright people, King Le Li, who was not easy to provoke, had to retreat, and the intelligence also said that the old king was forced to ally with the Kingdom of Lao and send troops to resist. It was just reluctant. Stand firm.

The changes and developments of the matter are indeed beyond everyone’s expectations. Zhu Qizhen only turned pale with fright, but it is reasonable.

The complexion greatly changed Zhu Qizhen, it took a long time before his complexion returned to normal, but the palpitations in his heart were not at all reduced. Now that Yang Chendong can now force Vietnam to lose steadily, what will happen if he fights against the Southern Ming army?

As a result, I dare not think about it. Zhu Qizhen also regretted in his heart. If he knew that, he shouldn’t have given Yang Chendong a chance to send troops to Vietnam. At that time, he was holding the idea of ​​weakening the opponent’s strength, but the result now seems to be strengthening the opponent’s strength.

After all, if an army wants to develop, just like a flower seedling wants to grow, it must first find suitable soil. Mercenaries neither in Southern Ming nor Northern Ming have the soil for such growth. Under the constraints of every situation, if an army wants to develop, one can imagine how difficult it will be. But once they go out, it will be different. The intelligence has already said that the two cities of Quyi and Beidai, which have been captured, are now operated by mercenaries, which means they have a certain foundation. , Once allowed to develop, the consequences are really unimaginable.

After all, the Vietnam army, which can only be fought by more than 10,000 mercenaries, is defeated and retreats. Once the number of this army continues to rise, what will be the result? Doesn’t it mean that one day Great Ming will not be its opponent, and it will be very dangerous too?

When I thought that this danger was caused by him alone, it was strange that Zhu Qizhen’s face would look good.

“No, I can’t let him develop. I pass on my will and let Liu De High Official reach a consensus with Vietnam immediately. At the same time, he decreed to Duke of Zhongdan, saying that Vietnam will have a relationship with me Southern Ming. Okay, now I have called me Small Official and agreed to re-establish Vietnam Province…”

I said something, this is Zhu Qizhen oppressing Yang Chendong with a general trend, and he has worked so hard. Work hard to the east.

After talking about this, Zhu Qizhen asked Cao Jixiang again: “Has the person sent to Jianning gone?”

Cao Jixiang knows that Zhu Qizhen is concerned Regarding Yang Chendong’s fourth brother Yang Yang, even nodded answered, “Reporting back to His Imperial Majesty, they have already set off, and they should have arrived at Jianning by now.”

Nothing to say right away, Instead, he closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. When Zhu Qizhen opened his eyes, new ideas have appeared. “My buddy, immediately send a cronie to Jianning to inform the dispatched person. Must treat the fourth brother of Duke of Zhongdan in good health. , And at the same time I want to kindly invite him to Nanjing, I want to give him a high-ranking official, um…for now, I will first serve as Ministry of Works External Court Official.”

Ministry of Works External Court Official, from Fifth Rank Official position. In comparison, the Ministry of Works is not in an important position. There is almost no real power, but the symbolic meaning is greater.

Before sending people to Jianning to arrest Yang Yang, although there was no clear conviction, but first holding Yang Yang in his hands was a kind of shock to Yang Chendong. But now that the official is suddenly closed, this has to make Cao Jixiang on the side develop another thought, that is, is His Imperial Majesty a little timid Duke of Zhongdan, otherwise, why would he suddenly change his mind? ?

Of course, this can also be seen as a means of showing kindness or tenderness. But this was because Vietnam was first obtained and the country was defeated, and then the current ban was made. It seems that the real reason has been suddenly revealed.

No matter what kind of thoughts are in his mind, now that this is the will of His Imperial Majesty, Cao Jixiang must obey. At the moment, nodded answered the order, then turned around and went to work.

As the will go down, Liu De, who was still wrangling with Vietnam Emissary and wanted more benefits, immediately changed another face, saying that he can ignore the recklessness of King Le Li before. And disrespect (meaning the old Le Li wants to take the Ming Dynasty Third Princess), as long as they really devote themselves to Great Ming, and pay tribute every year, claiming to be Vietnam Province, and sending troops to Prince of Min behind and Prince of Xiping Together with the rebellion, Southern Ming can order the Duke of Zhongdan to withdraw.
