Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 724
After sending away the envoys of the two countries, Chongzhen seriously discussed the countermeasures with the ministers.

It is easier to deal with Japan. All the Japanese want is a statement and a little compensation. Could it be that they dare to force Chongzhen to kill Yang Menglong, and the blood debt cannot be paid?Forgive them for not having the guts—won’t they be afraid to piss off Yang Menglong, and directly bring [-] to [-] new troops to expedition to Japan again, and kill them all to bleed?The next imperial decree scolded Yang Menglong a few words, just put on a show.Besides, it was Chongzhen who made Yang Menglong conquer Japan. At that time, the treason incident of Shanxi merchants shocked the government and the public. Countless gentry and officials who had benefited from Shanxi merchants wrote letters to plead for mercy, and threw Chongzhen into a pressure cooker. Chongzhen couldn't resist. Let Yang Menglong go on an expedition to Japan, make a bigger incident out to divert everyone's attention, and then get his wish and kill traitors such as Fan Yongdou, Tian Shenglan, and Wang Dengku.To put it bluntly, Yang Menglong was taking the blame for him, how could he really punish Yang Menglong.

But Annan's case was not so easy to handle.After all, Annan was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and those who went to Annan to kill and set fire were subjects of the Ming Dynasty... This is a bit disgraceful!Some ministers were heartbroken, saying that this kind of thing cannot be tolerated, and they should decisively send troops to help Annan destroy those barbarian troops!But including Wen Tiren, most of the ministers looked at this group of hot-blooded and angry youths as if they were looking at idiots.These people have long passed the age of passion. When they measure the quality of a thing, the first thing they look at is not whether it is just or not, but whether it is good for themselves and whether it is good for the country.Wen Tiren said: "The veteran thinks that this matter might as well be left alone!"

Chongzhen asked: "Why let it go?"

Wen Tiren said: "The Miao, Zhuang, Yao, Li, Dong and many other barbarians who moved into Annan in large numbers this time are all aggressive and warlike. These barbarians are distributed in the southwest and Huguang areas. A big rebellion, since the Taizu and the emperor, there have been rebellions continuously, which is really a headache! It is necessary to know how many years of fighting and how much military pay was spent by Daming to quell the rebellion of the Miao people, the Duzhang barbarians, and the Yao people. They settled down! Now that they are entering Annan in a large scale, that is a wishful good! The old minister thinks that Ming Dynasty can not stop this matter, but should encourage those barbarians to move into Annan!"

Fu Zonglong said: "Extremely! Whether these barbarians moved into Annan, no matter whether they were eliminated by the Annan people or finally merged into Annan, they will no longer be a harm to Ming Dynasty, and the land vacated can be used to resettle the people of Ming Dynasty. It really kills two birds with one stone!"

Chongzhen was terribly annoyed by the chaos of She'an, and what he took over was a mess full of smoke and fire. The mess is better now, but he really doesn't want to continue to toss it.He just wanted to subdue Jiannu and Mongol as soon as possible, so as not to let them continue to make trouble, and he could explain to his ancestors with [-] points. Fu Zonglong's suggestion made him quite moved... This really kills two birds with one stone!

"Fu Qing, what do you think should be done?" He asked.

Fu Zonglong said: "The old minister thinks that more respected officials can be sent to the southwest to persuade those barbarians to emigrate to Annan, and the government can even provide them with some food and clothing along the way, but they must be strictly guarded and they are not allowed to harass the states and counties along the way! The more barbarians are escorted to Annan, the more peaceful the Ming Dynasty will be!"

Hou Xun frowned and said, "If they come, wouldn't they be raised in Annan?"

Fu Zonglong said: "They sit in Annan, that's Annan's business, what does it have to do with me?"

Wu Zongda asked: "In case Annan is destroyed..."

Fu Zonglong said: "Even if Annan is destroyed, it's just a change of people who paid tribute!"

Now everyone has nothing to say, and the plan to drive away tigers and wolves begins.Neither the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty had any objection to this. They were really annoyed by the successive minority rebellions!

In fact, before the government took action, many ethnic minorities set off first and embarked on the road to Annan.In Yunnan, in the aristocracy, in Guangxi, and in Sichuan, groups of barbarians can often be seen carrying children in baskets, supporting the elderly, driving cattle and mules, and walking along the official road to Annan.The reputation of Wang Rui and Qin Mai is too loud. Although they seem to have been defeated by the new army of Heluo and finally driven out of Guangxi, the people where they fought finally got the land they dreamed of. Those ethnic minorities are very envious. Now that these two have moved to Annan and laid down a large piece of land, they naturally responded.Among these ethnic groups are the Miao, Yao, Zhuang, and Yi with a large population, the Qiang, Bai, and Shui whose populations have not been very prosperous, and even the Duzhang barbarians who were rumored to be extinct.The Duzhang barbarians fought against the imperial court for nearly 200 years. They surrendered and rebelled, rebelled and surrendered again, and finally were completely suppressed during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty. Most young and strong died in the war. By the reign of Chongzhen, this nation had disappeared exists.However, there are still Duzhang barbarians who survived and formed some small villages in more barbaric places. They lived cautiously, and now they have all popped up. There are seven to eight thousand people when they are patched together. As long as they are given suitable soil, they There is still hope for redevelopment.

These barbarians crossed the mountains and led the way, suffering from hunger and hunger. Many fell on the way due to disease and hunger, and some even died at the mouth of poisonous snakes and beasts, but nothing could stop them.This kind of great migration is of course very hard, but it has long been part of the ancient memory of their ethnic group. They have been migrating for thousands of years, and they have long been used to such suffering.In the end, under the surveillance of the Ming army, they crossed the border of the Ming Dynasty and entered Annan—there would be the end point of their migration.Some barbarians who set out from the west of Sichuan arrived in Annan after walking for two months. When they arrived at their destination, they were surprised to find that many simple towns had been built in the occupied areas, and those who were good at farming had planted them. Cassava and rice are already green and oily...

This great migration provided Qin Mai and Wang Rui with a large number of high-quality soldiers, and some special arms were formed.For example, the Qiang people are good at throwing javelins, which saves a lot of grenades. The javelins are not as lethal as grenades, but they are cheap and easy to manufacture. Thousands of gun throwers each carry three javelins towards the enemy. It was powerful enough for the Annan people to drink a pot. Within 20 meters, they didn't have a kind of armor that could resist the direct hit of the javelin.Tibetans are good at using slings. They say that hitting the left horn of a sheep will never hit the right horn of a sheep within 70 to 2000 meters. It is more powerful than a bow and arrow. No matter what armor you wear, you have to get down if you hit it, and you will faint if you don’t die. Vegetables for half a day!So Qin Mai had another slinger of up to [-] men, but these slingers threw lead bullets instead of stones, and those who were hit would be seriously injured if they did not die.As for the soldiers who are good at fighting in the mountains and jungles...there are as many as they need. They grew up in the mountains and forests since they were young, and the Annan people were taught to be human without exception.

The Annan people found that they had encountered an opponent who was more difficult to deal with than the Ming army in the Yongle period. If they confronted each other head-on, the nearly [-] full-armed main force in the hands of Wang Rui and Qin Mai would teach them to be human. Then line up to shoot, disrupt the opponent's formation with a violent volley of guns, and then charge with a white blade, the iron army can't stand it; if you fight in the mountains, the large number of wolf soldiers will teach them how to be human. I play this?You are still young!The most frightening thing is that the enemies who invaded this time were far more ferocious than the original Ming army. Those who resisted killed Qingguang, and those who did not resist killed Qingguang. They wiped out all the villages and killed everyone!Facing the continuous barbarians crossing the border and entering Annan, and the barbarian army that could not be beaten or avoided, Annan wanted to cry but had no tears...

They can only put this account on the Ming Dynasty.It's a pity, this creditor is too good, they dare not go to this girl to settle accounts!
