Chapter 224: Ambition to the Indochina Peninsula

In history, Anbangyan caused rebellion and besieged Guiyang for ten months, and later he besieged Guiyang several times. During the ten months of Guiyang being besieged, due to the lack of food, there was a tragic situation of people eating people.

This time I was besieged for more than a month, and the food in the city was enough, and there was no such tragic situation. Once the siege of Guiyang was resolved, the situation could only be considered to be initially stable.

This rebellion of the chieftains still did not completely suppress it.

An Bangyan and other local officials were defeated at the city of Guiyang and retreated to the mountains. The mountains were high and the forests were dense, and the villages were scattered. If An Bangyan wanted to play hide-and-seek, the official army would have to take some time to solve the problem.

After Qin Liangyu captured 30,000 chieftain soldiers, he pursued them for nearly half a month, but he repeatedly lost the air. The rebels scattered and hidden in the mountains and forests. The official army had no choice but to deal with these rebels for a while, so he could only submit a petition to the court.

Zhu Youxiao received a report in the capital and immediately held a meeting of the commander-in-chief.

"It seems that I can't move these rebel tribes into three thousand miles." Zhu Youxiao said to everyone with some depression.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed not appropriate to move inward. First, my Ming Dynasty is not like in ancient times, with large areas of uncultivated land. It is difficult to resettle those rebel tribes after they move inward. Second, three thousand miles are too far away." Sun Chuanting said.

"I was also angry and said angry words. Now the rebel chieftain is in a desperate situation. Do you think it is better to solve the problem?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng left his post and suggested to Zhu Youxiao: "I think that if we solve the problem for a while, we can send people to comfort us at this time and divide and disintegrate. Then Anbangyan will be destroyed. If Your Majesty wants to do it once and for all, you should take this opportunity to completely eliminate these chieftains, abolish the local chieftains, and set up a prefecture for management."

"Then how to quell these rebellious chieftains?" Zhu Youxiao's heart moved, and it was obvious that it was time to make a certain degree of change of land and return to the ground.

The policy of changing land and returning to the land was actually implemented in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was not large in scale. Usually, it was the punishment measures that were taken after the rebellion of the chieftains was suppressed.

"Guizhou is covered with mountains and forests, and it is indeed difficult to deal with the rebels scattered into the forests. However, the official army can block roads, burn villages, and clean up the districts. The rebels' troops will be gradually weakened and will be difficult to support in the end."

To deal with tribes that do not accept education, the policy of storming is obviously the hard truth. To say that these rebellious chieftains had never intervened in administrative administration, the local management was all these chieftains said. Therefore, rebellion had nothing to do with the oppression of the government, but they still rebelled.

Those chieftains are also like a group of ungrateful wolves. Once their strength grows, they want to break the land and establish a country.

"This strategy takes a long time. You must make long-term preparations. It cannot be pacified in a year or two." Lu Xiangsheng continued.

"What do you think of Sun Aiqing?" Zhu Youchao asked Sun Chuanting.

"The two plans have their own advantages, but only how to choose. If they can still support them financially, the latter is more appropriate. If the finances are unable to support them, the former is more applicable." Sun Chuanting commented.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "I heard that Annan was divided into two small regimes in the north and south, but I don't know what the military power of these two small regimes are."

"this……"

Everyone in the commander's headquarters was stunned. They obviously didn't know much about Annan's situation.

"Let's do it! Immediately recruit soldiers from Guizhou, Guangxi and Yunnan, form three infantry divisions, establish the Southern Military Region, and then enter the war in Guizhou. At the same time, order Qin Liangyu to block the mountains and forests first, and after the three infantry divisions are formed, then carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the rebel chieftains." Zhu Youxiao decided to say, paused and continued, "Send people to investigate the situation in Annan."

"Does Your Majesty want to attack Annan?" asked Sun Chuanting.

"Yes, Annan was my territory of the Ming Dynasty, and later he acted rebelliously, and then he split. Since he wanted to wipe out the rebel chieftains in Guizhou, the best way was to establish a new army with strong combat power. But if it was just to wipe out these rebels, it would be really not worth it! You have to find a good start." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise." Sun Chuanting obviously understood Zhu Youxiao's nature. It would not take a day or two to do this emperor to treat war as a profitable business.

However, this model also has a great advantage, that is, it will not waste national strength.

Annan was obviously in trouble. The rebellion of Guizhou chieftains was targeted by the emperor. Even if Annan has a relatively strong military force, it is ultimately a small country. With the new army's large number of advanced firearms, Annan obviously cannot stop the Ming army's attack.

At this time, the chieftains of the Guizhou rebellion were like fresh cowhide and would not be solved for a while. If the guards were used to fight, the loss would definitely be relatively large. Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers were mainly used to seize Sichuan and act as firefighting teams. Since the rebellion of the Guizhou rebellion was temporarily suppressed, it is not advisable to stay in Guizhou for a long time to fight.

The best way is to set up a new army.

However, the war dividends used by the New Army to deal with these rebellious chieftains were obviously not large, and the cost was difficult to recover. However, Annan was obviously a good target. At this time, Annan was not as large as Vietnam's territory in later generations, and the Khmer region in the southern region had not been annexed by Vietnam. At this time, Vietnam split into two regimes in the north and south, which was just a soft persimmon that could be easily grasped.

If you capture Vietnam, you can continue to attack other areas.

In fact, the entire Indochina Peninsula was targeted by Zhu Youxiao. Didn’t the Ming Dynasty lack food? In this day, the Indochina Peninsula is definitely a super granary.

After all, during this Little Ice Age, the drop in temperature is beneficial to the tropical areas near the equator. The products there are not affected at all, and rice can be grown for three seasons a year.

First of all, the territory of the Indochina Peninsula is large enough, with enough fertile land. Many areas are plain water networks, which are very suitable for growing rice. The indigenous people of the Indochina Peninsula are obviously still very low in the development of these lands, and a large area of ​​fertile land is still in the undeveloped stage.

As long as the Indochina Peninsula is captured and if necessary, it will be fine to open up hundreds of millions of mu of rice fields. How many people will not be able to support them then?

The indigenous countries on the Indochina Peninsula are obviously better bullying.

However, northern soldiers may not be able to adapt to the climate and soil of the Indochina Peninsula, so although it is okay to draw troops from the Central Army to fight in the south, they will still be unacceptable. It is more reliable to recruit soldiers from the south and then attack the countries on the Indochina Peninsula.
