this day.
Beizhen Fusi.
Zhang Jing, Zhai Rujing, Bai Yiqing, Xu Yu, Shi Shiyong and other Dongchang and Jinyi guards gathered together and began to discuss the next intelligence matters for the extermination of Burma.
After Zhang Jing said the beginning, Bai Yiqing, the governor of Fusi Town in Beizhen and the executioner of Dongchang, stood up and walked to the front of the hall. He said to the Dongchang and Jinyi guards who were wearing python clothes or flying fish:
“Based on the factory guards’ years of experience in investigating and apprehending the various traitors inside and outside, the following three characteristics can be summarized in their crimes:
First, the party and the masses are confused and have no unified purpose;
Second, it is geographically dispersed and has strong sectarian views;
Third, regardless of whether they are profiteers, cunning officials, thieves, bullies, warriors, or monks on the surface, the instigators behind the scenes are mostly literati and gentry with powerful family backgrounds."
"In a nutshell, it means that the scribes strategize, and the people, profiteers, and cunning officials do evil according to their instructions, or they do evil first and seek their protection."
After Bai Yiqing said that, Zhang Jing asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"
"Going back to the factory, our response is: to unify and disorganize them from above and below, set up a thousand households in each place to take charge of local factory security, and classify local powerful clansmen, celebrities, and eminent monks according to whether they have the most profit or the same name. Purpose, and then report it to the town governor, and the factory guards will conduct a unified analysis and investigation of who may be in charge based on the events that occurred;"
"In addition, we use portals to portals, pitting one faction against another, taking advantage of the different opinions of each portal, and inserting different people into it;"
"At the same time, we will focus on controlling the literati around the governor, general, and other high officials, and even enter the scene as literati and staff!"
"Also, since the literati and gentry mostly use cunning officials and profiteers as their minions, then we will use the common people as our pawns. Fishermen, woodcutter, cultivators, and brave soldiers and tenants will all develop into our factory guards' eyes, making them impossible to guard against. Unless these cunning officials and profiteers can Control your greed and do not bully the people or slaves! Otherwise, we can only find out the backers behind them one by one."
Bai Yiqing replied.
Zhang Jing nodded after hearing this, and then stood up and said: "That's very good, especially the civil servants and generals who participated in the conquest of Burma. They should keep a closer eye and protect them more closely. In addition, don't let up in the palace. You need to be more careful."
"yes!"
All the factory guards responded.
…
"Mr. Zhao has been beheaded. It turns out that the traitorous party that controls the government has done everything possible to exclude dissidents!"
Nandu.
Feng Jinglong came to Lu Guangzu that day and talked about Zhao Zhigao's being beheaded.
After hearing this, Lu Guangzu looked solemn for a while, and then asked: "What did Uncle Gu say? What does he think of the conquest of Burma?"
"He only wants to open an academy. Regarding the conquest of Burma, he only said that the key is not to let the traitor party in the DPRK control the government. As long as the traitor party controls the government, it cannot be stopped."
Feng Jinglong replied.
"If we don't let the conquest of Burma fail, how can we let the traitorous party step down?!"
Lu Guangzu couldn't accept Gu Xiancheng's point of view, so he questioned him.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Feng Jinglong asked.
Lu Guangzu said: "Although Yue Lan has been silenced, it does not mean that everything will be fine from now on. If the Burmese and Yi Longchuan chieftains are defeated and captured by the army, they will still find us. So, you Someone has to send a letter to Yue Feng, telling him that in the name of tea guests going to Yunnan to sell tea, we will send him 300 good firecrackers made by the Western Yi to help him guard the pass and resist the official army! Don’t betray us in a hurry, it won’t do him any good!”
After hearing this, Feng Jinglong said: "Then I will send someone to Guangdong to contact our good friend Fo Langji!"
Lu Guangzu nodded and returned to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites soon after.
Coincidentally, after he returned to the Ministry of Rites, officials from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites told him that Liang Menglong, the manager, had arrived in Nandu, and Yin Zhengmao, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and others had gone to greet him.
After hearing this, Lu Guangzu also hurried to the dock outside the city.
Liang Menglong had indeed taken a boat to the inn outside Nanjing and came here with Wang Xijue.
Listening to the chirping of cicadas outside, Wang Xijue said to Liang Menglong: "My servant has read the "New Examination of Maritime Transport" written by me carefully. It is really very detailed. But once it is used as a reference for the imperial government, I don't know how many people and money will be cut off. .”
"Whether the maritime administration should be restructured, how to reform it, and whether the imperial power should be used as a violent guarantee for this dynasty to seize the world's maritime profits, so that the imperial power can truly sink to the four seas, it all depends on the elder, not me!"
】
Liang Menglong replied with a smile.
Wang Xijue also smiled, and then sighed and said: "It's difficult! What the temple wants to see through servant inspections is different from what the people in the world want the emperor to see through servant inspections!"
"It is not easy to benefit the country."
"If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and be shattered into pieces; and you must try your best to do it! Destroying Burma is not easy. The enemy is no longer external but internal. The barbarians are easy to destroy and the thieves are difficult to guard against. I heard that Hai Gong went to the south. I just encountered shelling, and I don’t know what monsters and monsters I will encounter along the way.”
Liang Menglong's expression became solemn as he spoke.
"Young Master, there is no need to worry. There are still many good people in the world who remain contented, and few who are driven by the desire for profit. What's more, since Your Majesty took charge, the righteousness has continued and become stronger, and the customs of the world have become more pure! Monsters, ghosts, and snakes only dare to hide in the mountains and rivers!"
Wang Xijue comforted Liang Menglong.
"What Mr. Ge said makes sense."
Liang Menglong replied.
Wang Xijue then smiled at Liang Menglong and said: "I think you will get a victory soon. Although the Burmese and barbarians are fierce, my king has already tried his best to deal with them. No matter how fierce the small barbarian country is, how can it defeat a well-prepared army?"
Liang Menglong smiled slightly and said nothing.
Before going to Nandu, Liang Menglong had actually asked Mu Changzuo, Duke of Guizhou, to be appointed Pingman general and chief military officer, and move to Erhai to recruit Yunnan chieftain soldiers who had joined the Ming Dynasty;
Liu Shizeng, the governor of Yunnan, also supervised the military affairs and grain roads of Sichuan and Guizhou, and moved to Chuxiong to deploy guards;
Liu Wei, the left deputy general of Pingman, led his troops into the Charlie River;
Deng Zilong was the right deputy general of Pingman and led his troops into Yaoguan;
Chen Lin went to Annan as the general and chief military officer to conquer the barbarians;
Li Rusong went to Siam with the navy as the general to conquer the barbarians and the chief military officer to control the troops in Siam, Annan, and Green Camp.
Inside.
Liu Wei, with his five thousand Sichuan-Guizhou Tujia soldiers and Miao soldiers, mainly composed of his father's old troops, and the Yulin Guard's three thousand horse infantry, successfully waited at the Charlie River until Geng Ma appeased Si Hanqian and opened the way for the Burmese and Barbarian armies. Lead 20,000 rebels.
Liu Ding ordered the Yulin Guards' Biao Battalion, which was well equipped with firearms, to block the attack along the river, while he himself led the Tujia soldiers and Miao soldiers across the mountains to surprise the rebels who were attacking the Yulin Guards.
On this day, the rebels all rode on elephants, dense as a torrential wave, and rushed towards the Yulin Guards.
The Yulin Guards, under the command of General Hu Dabin of the Biao Camp, counterattacked calmly with hawk-bill cannons, causing the elephant soldiers to evacuate one after another. Many rebels had to dismount their elephants and gather on the mountainside to camp. But at this time, Liu Wei personally led Miao soldiers and Tujia soldiers rushed from the bottom of the mountain, holding shields in front and drawing bows behind. They also rushed into the formation with hooks, sickles and spears, completely defeating these rebels.
As a result, Liu Wei's tribe won a great victory and beheaded more than 5,000 people.
"Nanchang Bo (Liu Wei) is, after all, a general of the Emperor's own army with a background in martial arts from the Imperial Guard. He is bold in his military use and dares to take the lead. We cannot keep him! Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Burmese barbarians to gain momentum, and the traitors will really rise in power due to their great achievements in destroying Burma. arrogance!"
Chen An, who was responsible for counting the grains for the Miao soldiers beside Liu Wei, and who was listening in front of the tent, became angry after the victory. stand up.
Xu Xiang then asked Chen An: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
"Get rid of it!"
Chen An said.
Xu Xiang nodded after hearing this.
Chen An asked Xu Xiang again: "Where will Uncle Nanchang go next?"
"Yao Guan!"
"We, the Miao soldiers, have received his order."
Xu Xiang replied.
Chen An nodded after hearing this, and then found Fu Rong, a Yunnan scholar who was secretly communicating with the Burmese and barbarians because his brother was the deputy envoy of the Supervisory Army, Fu Long, and said: "Go quickly and spread the news to the Burmese and barbarians. Let them quickly go to Yaoguan to set up an ambush!"
"good!"
Fu Rong agreed and left the military camp overnight.
And this day.
When Liu Qing rushed to the valley near Yaoguan, he encountered an army of 50,000 led by mutinous chieftains such as Mengbie, the uncle of King Mangyingli of Burma, Yue Feng, the chieftain of Longchuan, ambushing him here.
Seeing this, Liu Wei looked at each other with Fu Long, the deputy supervisor of the army, and then personally ordered the Yulin Guards to arrange chariots to fight in the middle army, with the Miao and Tu battalions behind.
Mengbie has dispatched his own Burmese soldiers here.
Suddenly, a large number of Burmese soldiers were seen rushing over the mountains and plains, and Liu Wei had to direct the Yulin Guard officers and soldiers to fight inside the carriage wall.
But at this moment, Xu Xiang and a team of his servants rushed forward with blazing guns, aiming at Liu Wei's back.
"Get the fire!"
"As long as Liu Wei dies, each person will be rewarded fifty taels of silver!"
