Among the many rebellions, there is one that is unusual, that is, the rebellion that took place in the southwest border area. It is characterized by collusion with foreign enemies!
The three Mai brothers, whose ancestral home is Taipingzhou, Taiping Prefecture, Guangxi, gathered thousands of people in the local area to launch a rebellion.
Later, facing the attack of the official army, they knew that it was difficult to resist, so they colluded with the Zheng family in northern Annan to counterattack the Ming army.
Annan had long been divided into two, with the northern part belonging to the Zheng clan's shogunate and the southern part belonging to the Ruan clan.
Both parties recognized Li as the emperor, but they each did their own thing, treating the emperor as nothing more than a decoration.
What Zheng did was no different from that of Prime Minister Cao in the history of neighboring countries to the north. All the generals of Zheng in the past dynasties ignored the emperors of the later Li Dynasty.
Now Emperor Li Weiyu, who has just grown up, can only support General Zheng Fan (sounds like Gang Gang), otherwise the emperor will have to be replaced...
Zheng Fan was different from his predecessors in that he was very ambitious. He not only wanted to eliminate the Ruan family in the south, but also wanted to annex Guangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan and other places in the Ming Dynasty to the north whose customs and customs were close to his own.
What the three Mai brothers did in Taiping Mansion happened to be in line with Zheng Fan's wishes.
Especially after hearing that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had gone abroad and hundreds of rebellions had occurred in various places, he thought that the time was ripe.
After sending people to get in touch with the three Mai brothers, they sent 50,000 troops to fight side by side with the opponent's troops. m2.xqqxδeight.
Using night attacks and ambushes, thousands of Ming troops were killed and injured.
Due to the small number of troops invested by the Ming army in the war zone and the change in the enemy's situation, they had to retreat temporarily.
Seeing that the arrogant Ming army was so decadent and was repelled by both sides, the three brothers Zheng Fan and Mai were greatly encouraged and began to launch an attack on the hinterland of Guangxi.
By October of the 79th year of Haojing (1721), the rebels and the Li army had successively captured four prefectures and six states in Guangxi, including Taiping, Siming, Zhen'an, Guishun, and Longzhou!
The situation in Nanning Prefecture is not optimistic. It is reported that enemy troops are attacking Xuanhua City, where the government is located, day and night.
The people left behind in the Ming Dynasty were basically second-line troops, and basically only one field brigade was stationed in each province.
Each city only has a maximum of a thousand garrison troops, and the rest are assisted by garrison troops in reserve.
The air force can provide fire support, but it cannot fundamentally change the battlefield situation.
Zhu Cixiang's strategy was to go north first and then south, first small and then big.
After eliminating the rebellion in the northern region, it will gradually extend to the south.
The time required is not long, less than a year in total.
Especially in dealing with the scum who collude with other places to cause chaos, we need to take a long-term approach.
The last time the Ming Dynasty's army recaptured Annan was during the reign of Emperor Yongle. The famous general Zhang Fu only spent seven months (it took October of the fourth year of Yongle to May of the fifth year, 1406-1407). His troops were unstoppable and finally returned in triumph.
However, due to a series of mistakes made by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, the Ming Dynasty was forced to abandon the area in the second year of Xuande (1427), allowing it to continue to stink in the south.
"Your Majesty, this time..."
"Destroy Annan, destroy the country and kill people!"
"……really?"
"The Annan people are white-eyed wolves who have not been raised well. All previous dynasties have to be more careful in dealing with them. Our Ming Dynasty is not what it used to be. Naturally, we will not sit back and watch them invade our land, kill my Zimin, and steal my property. Such cruelty The evil wolf needs to be slaughtered quickly!"
For this country, it is absolutely impossible to be soft-hearted and soft-hearted. Thunderous methods must be used.
"Your Majesty is wise! Three brigades of Marine Corps can be dispatched immediately!"
Jiexuan thought so too, fearing that the emperor would show mercy.
Now it seems that the Holy Judgment is so decisive that he wants to wipe this country off the map.
"The army can mobilize five brigades. I will order the mobilization of five brigades of reserve troops. Including the Marine Corps, there will be a total of thirteen brigades. In addition, in addition, one hundred thousand Japanese troops will be hired to participate in the war!"
"Japanese army?"
"Yes! We are clearing out the northern mountainous area. The King's Division does not have enough troops, so we must join the Japanese army!"
Zhu Cixiang planned to invest more than 160,000 ground troops, coupled with thousands of combat aircraft, plus Jiexuan's fleet.
On the one hand, they landed from the sea, and on the other hand, they launched a counterattack from the land, so that the opponent could not look at each other from head to tail.
In early November, after Annan entered the dry season, a large-scale fleet suddenly appeared on the sea in Halong Bay west of the mouth of the Red River.
Different from the previous overseas expeditions, this time the fleet carried many flat-type warships, that is, aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, and both came out in full force.
The actual battle at home was not to be missed. Jiexuan ordered the navy to move out of the house directly.
Two Type I aircraft carriers (Blücher), four Type II aircraft carriers (King), four Type I amphibious assault ships, and four Type II amphibious assault ships.
The carrier-based aircraft force consists of 80 "Blackfoot Albatross" attack aircraft and 96 "Black Hawk" armed helicopters. The lineup can be described as very spectacular.
In addition, the warships and transport ships in the fleet can also carry helicopters after modification, and the total number of "Black Hawks" dispatched on the day of landing exceeded 200.
Annan also has an air force, but the fighters it equips are only junior versions of the "Albatross", which is more than one level behind the "Black-footed Albatross" of the Ming Dynasty's naval aviation unit.
In less than half an hour, the Ming naval aviation seized air superiority over the battlefield and began to cover the landing troops' advance inland.
All three Marine Corps brigades landed on adjacent beaches, so there would be no dispersion of forces.
^0^ Remember in one second【】
, because there is only one ultimate goal.
That is to go upstream along the Red River and quickly capture Thang Long City, the capital of Annan!
Anyone with this name is likely to be punished by God. Now Zhu Cixiang can let Master Ming Dynasty do justice for God!
There are six brigades that landed with the Marine Corps. Together with the three brigades of Marine Corps, they can be organized into three corps.
Because small ironclad ships can swim upstream, coupled with the cover of naval aviation.
Even if our own ground troops penetrate deep into the hinterland of Annan, they will still receive sufficient fire support.
Three brigades of land forces first landed on Cat Ba Island south of Halong Bay. After clearing the island of enemy soldiers, the engineering troops could build a field airport on the island to take off and land "Hercules" bombers.
It is expected that no fewer than 300 bombers will be stationed at the airport, and together with other combat aircraft, the total may be as high as thousands.
Emperor Haojing would never coddle someone who took the initiative to find fault with someone who had nothing to do. He would take action and try not to speak.
At that time, Zhang Fu also followed the wishes of Emperor Yongle and published the "Anna Nan Officials and Military Minwen".
The above lists the twenty major crimes of Li and his son, which are well-founded and well-organized.
Zhu Cihong asked the Ministry of Rites to write a similar article and publish it in major newspapers.
This is just for show, global affairs is still a game of who has the bigger fist!
Before the first Ming army soldier set foot on the beach of Annan, the fleet had already used naval guns to blast the buildings along the coast to pieces.
The targets in the hinterland were handed over to the aviation units, and then it was the Marines' turn to land on a large scale.
Not only soldiers, but also tanks must be sent up to ensure the safety of our own infantry.
According to Emperor Haojing's wishes, not only will the white-eyed wolf's feces be punched out this time, but his intestines will also be punched out!
Difficulties that hindered the advance of the Ming Dynasty's army, such as dense woods, were all pushed down by tanks, and the opponent was not given the opportunity to use the woods to sneak attack on one's side.
"Talking woods" does not exist in Zhu Cixiang's concept. If tanks cannot do it, bombers can directly drop gas and oil bombs to solve the problem.
Even if they burn all the woods, they will not hesitate to do so, just to prevent the natives from having a place to ambush. If you can make the other party uncomfortable, then do it!
There is no need to test the places where enemy soldiers may be hiding. First use fighter planes to drop bombs, and then use tanks to blast a few rounds. The enemy will be disabled or disabled.
At the worst, you can throw a few grenades first, and then use a submachine gun to fire a burst of bullets.
For the Ming Dynasty King's division, ammunition was cheaper than that of soldiers, whose minimum pension was one thousand silver coins.
Emperor Haojing's strategy is to use more ammunition and kill fewer people. If 10,000 soldiers die in battle, they will have to pay at least 10 million silver coins. Counting non-commissioned officers, officers, and generals, it is almost 20 million. This money can sell a lot of ammunition. .
Just in case, Zhu Cihong hired 100,000 Japanese soldiers, who were much cheaper than Ming soldiers, to come to Annan to show off their skills. He could reduce costs and the other party could make a lot of money.
Since Zhu Cixiang used the Japanese army to deal with the pigtails entrenched in the northeast, the Japanese army has become a certain emperor's royal thugs.
One provides the money, the other provides the people, and the two parties have been very happy every time they cooperate.
Any daimyo who sent troops to Annan would receive a commission on the number of soldiers under his command.
If one thousand troops are sent, then Zhu Cihong will pay the other party a commission of one silver coin per person per month.
As long as the troops are sent over, weapons and ammunition, food and medicine, military uniforms, tents and other materials will all be provided by Ming Dynasty.
There were some people in the government and the public who criticized this, thinking that it was not necessary for the Ming Dynasty to provide so many supplies to the Japanese army in every detail, and that it was too considerate.
Zhu Cixiang didn't care at all about his words. Anyone who understood the East Indies knew that the difficulty of Wang Shi's battle in Annan was extraordinary.
east indies
xqqxs8. It was bought from the Dutch. However, the later invasion of the indigenous armed forces on the island left the Ministry of War in a state of distress.
Tens of thousands of soldiers from the King's Division and 200,000 Japanese troops were invested successively, as well as tanks, heavy artillery, and fighter planes. However, it could not be completed as quickly as possible.
This is despite the fact that the indigenous armed forces on each island are isolated and unable to support each other.
If it were replaced by a long pork-shaped Annan, it would definitely be more difficult.
Fortunately, the coalition troops landed during the dry season, which was easier than attacking during the rainy season.
The first- and second-class ironclads, which were previously regarded as useless by the navy, took advantage of their relatively petite stature to swim upstream from the mouth of the Red River and began to run rampant on the river.
The Annan defenders near the river mouth and on Cat Ba Island were completely unaware that the Ming army would launch an attack at this time. Since they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower, they were quickly bombarded by naval artillery and surrendered.
It is actually very wise to do this. If we don’t surrender, everyone will end up becoming a smoking barbecue...
The prisoners were immediately escorted to the ship, then transported north to Tianjin, and then transported by train to the mining areas in the north.
The work there is simple and they will enjoy it.
Those who resist will surely die, and those who surrender will first serve as miners for ten years.
This is the biggest difference between Zhu Cihong and Emperor Yongle. Everyone in this land will be killed or sent away.
There are fewer and fewer enemies, and the ability to resist will become weaker and weaker.
During the Xuande period, Wang Shi was forced to evacuate Annan.
The reason is that there are many indigenous people in the area, and the Ming people
^0^ Remember in one second【】
Very few.
If you want to completely digest this land, you must change the population ratio above.
In the future, except for Siam, Indochina will be dominated by Ming people and supplemented by indigenous people.
Aboriginal people with ulterior motives will be sent to the north to mine. The climate there is very unsuitable for the Aboriginal people.
But this happened to be one of the ways Zhu Cixiang used to restrict them. The more tropical the natives were, the more they had to be sent to colder places.
After regaining this homeland, the Ming Empire could also obtain millions of slave miners.
The cost of this war can be recovered in the next ten years or so.
Of course, the worst-case scenario is to turn the area into a scorched earth.
Even so, Zhu Cixiang can bear it. A scorched earth is much better than continuing to be a monkey's nest.
In less than ten days, the coalition troops advanced to Thang Long City.
Prior to this, the Ming Air Force had dispatched at least thousands of bombers to carry out carpet bombing of the city. xqqxs8.
When the coalition ground troops approached the city, they were faced with a quasi-ruin filled with smoke.
After the air force used signal flares to report that there were still defenders in the city, the navy's ironclads launched a fierce bombardment of the city.
The river was full of Ming army armored ships, not even an indigenous fishing boat could be seen.
Hundreds of fighter planes and helicopters hovered in the sky, demonstrating the overwhelming superiority of the coalition forces.
Many Japanese generals were shocked when they saw this. This was the most magnificent siege they had ever seen in their lives.
The benefits are also obvious. Once the defenders are bombarded to death or injury, it will be much easier for them to attack.
Zheng Fan had already taken Emperor Li Weiyu to run away in advance, otherwise he might be killed by bombs or hit with bricks and rubble.
In addition to the tens of thousands of defenders in Shenglong City, there were only hundreds of thousands of civilians left.
Zheng Fan did not choose to run away with them, because he also wanted to use the city as a bait to attract enemy troops to siege.
Wait for yourself to gather the Qinwang troops from all over the world, and then wait for an opportunity to defeat the invading enemy and achieve unparalleled achievements...
It was a good idea, but later Zheng Fan and his soldiers discovered that the enemy's firepower was beyond imagination.
The number of fighter planes in the sky is immeasurable, comparable to a flock of birds.
Pessimistically speaking, the capital may fall within a week.
This means that all the previous ideas have gone bankrupt and have to be recalculated.
Fortunately, in addition to the plains, there are also mountainous areas in the northern region of the country, which is extremely difficult for the enemy to capture quickly.
Zheng Fan believes that he will not repeat the mistakes of the Li family and his son, and will definitely defeat Man Ming and achieve the final victory!
Even if the barbarian army can take advantage of its firepower, its own troops can also severely damage the opponent through night attacks and ambushes.
If it doesn't work in one year, then two years; if it doesn't work in two years, then three years.
As long as Man Ming loses too many soldiers and generals, he will withdraw his troops and go back.
Thinking about it this way, Zheng Fan felt better.
But looking at the enemy fighter planes that appeared in the sky from time to time, Emperor Li Weiju couldn't help but worry...
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
