Yiannan is now divided into pieces. With the strongest strength of the Zheng family, the population is about two million, the total strength and the young and strong are about one hundred thousand, the battle elephants are more than one hundred, and the war is also about one hundred. In addition, it has to defend all over the country, and only 40,000 to 50,000 troops can be used.

With the joint efforts of Dorgon's cavalry and Oboi's artillery, and the attack behind the navy, after five days, he was defeated and fell. Several generals surrendered. After a while of Shenglong (Hanoi), the Zheng family was equivalent to being destroyed.

To the south of Zheng's family is the Ruan tribe. The Ruan tribe controls a population of less than one million and has a force of about 40,000 to 50,000. I felt that the Ming Dynasty's troops were at the city, while delaying time by "seeking peace", while stepping up preparations for war. On the Zheng and Ruan tribe borders, a large number of firearms, bunkers, and war elephants were accumulated, and a tenacious resistance was made.

Ten miles away from the border line, the coalition camp.

The coalition was commanded by Yang Sichang, Dorgon's Jurchen cavalry of 30,000, Oboi artillery, 2,000 Korchin cavalry, 1,000 Korean cavalry, 1,000 Satsuma vassals, 1,000 Ryukyu, etc., with a total of less than 40,000 people.

In the big tent, a group of people were discussing how to fight.

Yang Sichang, Daishan, Dorgon, Obai, and Korqin, North Korea, etc., but they all make soy sauce, only listen to it, and do some small and meticulous work.

Yang Sichang looked at the sand table and pondered, "The army of Ruan generals gathered together. Even if I used artillery attack, it would be difficult for ten days and half a month to work, and it would not be enough to create a deterrence..."

The reason why the Ruan tribe was able to fight against Zheng tribe with weakness was because of the firearms. They had traded with the Dutch for a long time, and they were very skilled in artillery and muskets. They were covered with bunkers on the border. With firearms, they were indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Although the Ming Dynasty had more powerful and advanced firearms that could be easily destroyed, the Ming Dynasty wanted to recover Annan in the shortest time to shock the Southeast Peninsula, and not deal with the bunkers slowly, which wasted time.

Oboi is very strong now and looks at Yang Sichang and said, "Mr. Yang, it is better to land in the navy and attack Huhua directly. After Huhua, the Ruan family will be defeated without attacking."

Yang Sichang shook his head and said, "The navy has only 10,000 people, and less than 5,000 people can get ashore. If you cannot conquer Hue for a long time, you will fall into danger."

When everyone heard this, they nodded silently. It was true that if the navy came ashore, if it could not conquer it for a while, it would fall into a huge passiveness.

Yang Sichang looked at the sand table and pondered.

Recovering Annan is not a problem for them, the key is how to create enough deterrence.

Dai Shan has always been taciturn, but Annan is related to their Jurchens' survival. He looked up at Yang Sichang and said, "Go around!"

As soon as Dai Shan spoke, Dorgon remembered Amin's detour through Mongolia, attacked the Ming Pass, and his entire army was wiped out. That was a turning point in the Jin Dynasty. As the military continued to wear down, it turned from prosperity to decline.

Others don’t have so many ideas. Obai looked slightly moved and said, “This is a good idea. The army of Nanzhang is useless. Our cavalry can break through a little bit, and then whether it is attacking Hue or attacking Ruan’s army on both sides, it will be effective!”

Yang Sichang glanced at Dai Shan. This man usually doesn't speak, and he can hit the nail on the head whenever he opens his mouth.

"Straight to Hue!"

Yang Sichang looked for a while, raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Dorgon's cavalry, set off immediately, and notified the navy to prepare to land in Hue. Oboi and the cannons advance forward, and others are ready to attack at any time!"

"Abide by the order!"

A group of people retreated together and raised their hands to answer the order.

Yang Sichang's strategy was very simple, and he bombarded the cannon and made a full-scale attack. Dorgon took a detour, the navy went ashore, and directly captured Hue!

Hue is the capital of the Ruan family. Once it is taken down, the fortress in front of you will be destroyed without attacking. The army can push forward and destroy the Ruan family in the shortest time!

Dorgon left the camp and ordered all his men. Without any scruples, he directly crossed the border between Annan and Nanzhang, detoured from Nanzhang, and then entered Annan. The army marched straight into Hue!

There were 2,000 people from Oboi and nearly 600 cannons, pushing forward together, and the coalition forces of Korqin, North Korea and other countries moved forward and made a strong attack.

The fortress opposite was in panic, and quickly defended, and smoke rose everywhere.

Boom boom boom boom

The cannons covered the fortress opposite as scheduled.

The Ruan family and Zheng family fought for many years, with more victory than defeat. Although there were cannons in the Ming Dynasty, they still built a solid defense and did not waver.

The Ruan family was not in chaos, but Nanzhang was shocked. The defenders everywhere could not defend them, allowing Dorgon to pass through, and at the same time rushed to send a message to the capital.

When Dorgon left Nanzhang country, Nanzhang Kingdom had already sent a group of envoys of extremely high standards, carrying generous tributes to the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhu Xu's people are already in Guangdong.

Governor Zhao Pinglan and Governor Xu Ruke accompanied him to inspect various places.

Zhao Pinglan was quite careful. The emperor had already exempted the two governors of Nanzhili, Fujian, and he did not want to be the third one.

Before the three of them were walking on a mountain field, Zhao Pinglan followed Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the disaster in Guangdong has further aggravated this year. Whether it is the affected land or the population, they have increased. After discussion, they decided to promote the planting of sweet potatoes on a large scale. Some barren mountains and wastelands are being reclaimed, and at least 30,000 hectares can be increased this year. At the same time, people are also mobilizing people from all over the world to build water conservancy, dig deep canals, store water, and use all means to deal with the disaster..."

Xu Ruke also said: "Emperor, the bandits in Guangdong have basically been suppressed, and they are also changing their strategies for some foreign races. It is very effective. I am sure that it will make Guangdong stable in two or three years and reduce the bandits to the lowest level..."

Zhu Xu's eyes kept observing the surroundings and nodded silently. These people did not dare to fool him, it was not a face-saving project.

With the promotion of the "New Policy", the administration of the Ming Dynasty improved. At least the top leaders had a pragmatic style, and each of them could concentrate on doing things, not fight each other and deteriorate government affairs.

"Um,"

Zhu Xu smiled affirmatively and said, "It's not enough. But it's not enough. For sweet potatoes and other things, the planting area must continue to expand. We must try every means to ensure that no matter how serious the disaster is, no matter how serious the disaster is, no one can starve to death! We must not allow corrupt officials to force them to rebel. Food is the most important thing for the people. Officials control food. In terms of "food" and "officials", the government should take two steps to treat the symptoms and root causes. We cannot be afraid of difficulties and fear of the head and the end. We must make great efforts to do these..."

Since this year, the court has intended to "reshape the rules and regulations" and vigorously rectify the rules and wants a Qingming official.

Xu Ruke naturally knew all these Zhao Pinglan and responded continuously.

Zhu Xu originally planned to go to Guangxi again, but unfortunately the heavy rain blocked the road and couldn't go.

However, the situation in Guangdong made Zhu Xu feel much more at ease. The disaster was not that severe, and there was still plenty of self-sufficiency.

‘The administration of the government can save a lot of money…’

Zhu Xu knew it in his heart, and walked in the fields, carefully inquiring about the sowing of sweet potatoes and other sweet potatoes.

Zhu Xu didn't talk much about the sea trade with the two, as long as he didn't cause trouble. In the eyes of Zhu Xu and some people around him, opening up sea trade and business are the general trend, and no one can stop it. But in the eyes of the current sturdy gentry group in the Ming Dynasty, it was still a ruthless thing!

What's more, the disaster is like fire now, and people need to be tied to the land and thrown away food. How can those merchants get something for nothing and make huge profits? This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and must not be allowed!

Zhu Xu walked along the ground for a long time. Although it was September, there were still many people busy in the ground, especially sweet potatoes. Planting is the best at this time. However, there are more and more people planting with the promotion of governors and prefects at all levels and magistrates.

"Your Majesty, Joshua Tang is here." Cao Huachun walked behind Zhu Xu and whispered.

Zhu Xu stopped, looked at the large area of ​​farmland, and said to Zhao Pinglan, Xu Ruke: "Planting high-yield crops and reclaiming wasteland are all ways to deal with disasters. We must vigorously promote them and not slacken. I am quite satisfied with you Guangdong."

Zhao Pinglan and Xu Ruke's joy flashed and quickly said cautiously, "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu looked at it again, turned to look at the way, and there was a carriage there, and several people who looked like missionaries were looking forward to it.

Johnson Chan followed Zhu Xu all the way, trying every means to talk to him about "missionary" in person. At this time, missionaries were often the pioneers of the colonists. They played an extremely unbearable role in colonial rule. Although some of them were good, they would "inadvertently" reveal the situation of the Ming Dynasty and become a tool for colonists to use.

The Ming Dynasty is now strong outside and the middle, and will become weaker in the future. Zhu Xu does not want to be discovered, causing unnecessary trouble.

It’s better to lose money than to block it, and there is still a big deal to be done!

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said to Cao Huachun: "Let's go, I'll go see him."

Zhao Pinglan and Xu Ruke both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. The emperor put too much pressure on them. If the emperor scolded them like Zai Fu. Jian scolded Zou Weilian and others, it would be better to die directly. If you don’t mention the reputation for your whole life, your family will be ashamed to mention it. For them, life is really worse than death and it is hard to bear pain!

Tang Ruowang was still like that, hunched over, saluted to Zhu Xu, and said respectfully, "Tang Ruowang meets Your Majesty!"

He bent slightly, but his eyes were constantly looking at Zhu Xu, hoping to see his true thoughts from his expression.

He was present in both martial arts performances in the Ming Dynasty, especially the Dutch and the Spanish were wiped out, which was probably even more frightening and even uneasy!

Europe is now in chaos, with Spain the strongest, whether on the road or on the sea. The Dutch took a different approach and did not compete for power on land, but the momentum at sea was unstoppable, and it was getting closer to Spain. It can be said that these two countries represented the strongest power in Europe at sea, and the strongest power is easily destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. This influence is too terrible and may cause a huge shock in Europe.

Of course, what John Chau is most concerned about is that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty would firmly forbid him from preaching and even drive them away because of these!

For a devout missionary who is determined to spread the glory of God throughout the world, he will never allow such a thing to happen!
