By the beginning of April in the 81st year of Haojing (1724), it was the first anniversary of the strategic bombing of the areas controlled by the Ruan family.
There were fifteen brigades of the Ming Dynasty King's division in southern Annan, six brigades of Lan Wang Zhu Cizhao, and 100,000 Japanese troops were put into battle.
The Ming army alone was equipped with 1,800 T-6 light tanks, and the Japanese army received 4,000 tanks of the same model temporarily loaned to them by Emperor Haojing.
In addition to the more than 700 tanks obtained by Zhu Cizhao, even if they are not all put into combat, adding up the three items, it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 6,000 tanks fighting in the southern region of Annan.
Coupled with tens of thousands of armored vehicles and thousands of combat aircraft, the presence of these heavy weapons can well restrain the local rainforest terrain.
In particular, the existence of the holy trinity of air strike forces, namely helicopters, "air gunships" and "Black-footed Albatross", dealt a devastating blow to the indigenous guerrillas.
Not only can it reach the battlefield quickly, it can also quickly pursue and kill targets, providing powerful fire support and cover for coalition ground forces.
The pilots of the Ming Air Force also obeyed the orders of Emperor Hao Jing. As long as they found any suspicious signs below, they would directly destroy the large forests in the target area.
For places where indigenous guerrillas may be hiding, there is no need to consider saving ammunition or even accidentally injuring people and animals. Just level them down.
Zhu Cixiang can guarantee that as long as the Annan battlefield does not cease completely for one day, at least thousands of combat aircraft and thousands of tanks and armored vehicles will be deployed every year.
Let this become a testing ground for Ming Dynasty's new weapons. The guerrillas can be used as good targets to test the performance of various weapons.
In the future, the space left for the monkey guerrillas to move will become smaller and smaller, and turrets will be built even on the tops of mountainous areas to monitor nearby movements.
Under this strangulation tactic, Zhu Cixiang didn't believe how many natives would dare to oppose the Ming Dynasty King's division for a long time.
Even if there is, it is powerless.
Because without foreign aid, it is impossible to resist the crushing of a large number of high-tech weapons by oneself.
According to Mandai's report, the coalition forces have destroyed or captured at least 80% of the Nguyen troops.
The rest can only be broken into pieces and survive in the ravine.
Mandai speculated that the total strength of the indigenous guerrillas in the entire south of Annam would not exceed 10,000.
Because if there are too many people, it will be easily discovered by the coalition forces.
A guerrilla group with two to three hundred people is considered too many, but usually there are only thirty or fifty people, which is about the same number as a group of bandits.
Most of the guerrillas did not dare to attack the coalition forces. It would be difficult for a group of thirty or fifty people, let alone a platoon, to fight against a squad of Ming troops.
Each squad of the Ming army is equipped with at least four submachine guns, and the rest are magazine-type rifles. Each person has five grenades, and now they are also equipped with revolvers.
Usually the smallest combat unit dispatched is a platoon. If you don't go into the mountains to sweep, you can still get the support of a tank or armored vehicle, which can completely withstand the siege of hundreds of natives.
A company-level combat unit can get the help of a combat aircraft, and its reconnaissance and strikes are far superior to the natives who don't even have a single-engine aircraft.
Emperor Haojing's tactic was to first cut off the foreign aid from the indigenous people, then eliminate all the indigenous aircraft, and then gradually eliminate all the horses and livestock owned by the indigenous people.
Finally, use airplanes, tanks, artillery, and speedboats to jointly strangle the natives who only rely on two legs to run away, and let them die in silence one by one!
Although the annual Annan war expenditure of 250 to 300 million silver coins (for the entire Annan region) was a bit expensive, the Ming court could still afford it.
Although it costs a lot of money now, it is still worth it to avoid being bitten by this white-eyed wolf in the future.
Just because Zheng Fan colluded with the rebels in Guangxi to spread evil everywhere, it caused no less than tens of millions of people and property losses to the local area.
Its aggression and rebellion affected more than half of Guangxi and less than half of Yunnan, and even threatened the western region of Guangdong.
Fortunately, with the help of the railway, the local garrison was properly prepared, so it did not harm the prosperous Pearl River Delta region.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty fleet, which had previously invested heavily in establishing, played the role of a needle to stabilize the sea.
Due to the rapid response of the South China Sea Fleet after the incident, Zheng Fan's plan to use the North Sea to transport troops to the Leizhou Peninsula was completely frustrated.
It's not that he hasn't tried it, but under the surveillance of aircraft carriers, battleships, and cruisers, the wooden ship in Zheng Fan's hand did nothing at all.
Any Annan ship that does not accept inspection by Ming warships will be sunk on the spot and fed to fish!
Not to mention those who resist on the spot, they won’t even keep prisoners!
Jiexuan's order is to adopt zero tolerance for the Annan ships that forcefully break through, and destroy them all if they are discovered!
There is no need to be polite to these scum. If they still don’t stop the ship after firing flares and firing warning shots, then let them go see the Dragon King.
After stopping the ship, they still wanted to deceive and kill the natives of the Marines or special forces, so the sailors used machine guns to attack the entire ship...
The Ming Navy captured and sunk more than 500 Annan ships, large and small, in the Beibu Gulf alone, and allowed them to sail to Leizhou Peninsula or Qiongzhou, with disastrous consequences.
When the war officially started between the two sides, Jiexuan made it impossible for the Zheng family to go to sea. Now the shipowners in the southern part of Annan are also being treated like this.
Even if you go to places like Luzon, Mindoro, Palawan, the Malay Peninsula, and even Borneo.
The end result is exactly the same, because
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is the next page^0^ These places belong to the Ming Empire!
The entire Southeast Asia, except Siam, has been included in the territory of the Ming Empire.
The local indigenous people can live on the grasslands or within the pass and accept Emperor Haojing's invitation to "exchange land for land" unconditionally.
For the treasure land that was harvested three times a year, Zhu Cixi took it all as ordered and would not be polite to the local indigenous people.
Indochina is actually the best place in Southeast Asia. There are always storms in the Luzon Islands and there are frequent earthquakes in the East Indies.
As for Annan and Angkor, apart from the abundant rainfall, there are almost no major shortcomings.
Mosquitoes are certainly a problem, but they are a common problem in tropical areas, which just stimulates local production of related goods factories...
Even if you don't farm, the fishery resources in the South China Sea are so rich, wouldn't it be a pity to let the fish die in the sea?
Emperor Haojing thought it was a good deal to spend 10 to 1.6 billion silver coins to capture Annan.
It was nothing more than the annual income of the Ming Dynasty, so it was not too much of a disadvantage.
It is equivalent to buying a granary and a seafood wholesale market, which is more cost-effective than buying Huguang and Sichuan at the same price!
Those two places can only produce grain, but not fish. Sichuan is still experiencing earthquakes, so it is not suitable for people to live for a long time.
In Zhu Cixiang's plan, Sichuan was the first to be evacuated.
Once there is an earthquake in that place, the court will have to spend huge sums of money for relief.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to give the money to the local people as settlement expenses for relocation.
Many people who left Sichuan decided to move after seeing the tragedy in their neighbors' homes after the earthquake.
If you stay there, you might encounter an earthquake while sleeping one day, and your whole family will die...
The local people in Sichuan can go wherever they like in the three major areas of Northland, Eastland and Southland.
The disadvantage of the east land is that it is the longest distance away. Especially if you want to pick good land, you have to go to the east coast. The west coast is almost divided up.
The disadvantage of the North is that it is too cold. Many southerners don't like the cold, and it takes two days to get used to it.
The advantage is also obvious, that is, the number of earthquakes is very rare, and it can be reached directly by train.
The Southland is moderate and can only be reached by boat, but the arrival of new immigrants is extremely welcome there.
Especially in the sparsely populated Bei'ao area, every family has a car because the local population is so small.
The rich people who went to buy land first could buy a small bay at a very cheap price and turn it into their own private bathing place...
The people of Guangxi previously suffered from the scourge of rebels and Annan natives, but now their hardships are over and they can enjoy the preferential treatment of moving nearby.
Zheng Fan is already living in the tank, and no one needs to care about his feelings.
As for Ruan Fuwei, this animal was netted on September 9, the 81st year of Hao Jing (1724)!
Nguyen Phuc Wei managed to escape to the Dak Lak Plateau area north of Dalat, but the local guerrillas also had a hard time.
I have to be in fear all day long, always be on guard against being surrounded by enemies, and go hungry three or four days a week.
The arrival of Ruan Phu Wei cheered up the whole team and boosted their morale. Then, in the battle down the mountain, they were beaten back to their original shape by the enemies at the foot of the mountain.
By the way, the location of the lair was exposed, and it was bombed and strafed by enemy fighter planes, killing and wounding more than centaurs.
Finally, I had no choice but to...
Instead of moving to fight elsewhere, he dedicated the priceless Ruan Phu Wei!
Because of this certificate of surrender, it is the most standard surrender!
A big leader and two small leaders, with fourteen minions, a total of seventeen people, tied up Ruan Fuwei, who was like a pig, and surrendered to the Japanese army at the foot of the mountain.
If they don't surrender, others may take advantage.
Rather than taking advantage of others, it’s better to take advantage of yourself!
First, he killed a few stubborn ones around Ruan Phu Wei, and then persuaded the wavering ones.
In the end, the Lord was tied up and used as the basis for everyone's survival, and followed everyone down the mountain.
The Japanese army did not dare to hide anything and immediately reported it to Wanli. This was the best news since the war began.
Before October, Emperor Hao Jing saw Nguyen Phuc Wei with his own eyes.
I originally planned to keep it in a tank to keep it company with Zheng Fan.
When I came back, I thought that I was not a master, nor did I have a hobby of raising "tank pets".
Executing this guy Lingchi would not satisfy the hatred in his heart. After all, he had previously spent two to three hundred million silver coins in southern Annan.
Finally, it was decided to send someone to entertain Ruan Fuwei well and then add more medicine to his food.
After this guy is digested and absorbed, let him and Zheng Fan be in the same tank...
This is interesting, and it would be valuable if made into a movie!
The title of the film is "Peerless Twins - Zheng Fan and Ruan Fook Wei"!
Sure enough, within one month of its release, the film's total box office exceeded 10 million silver coins, and it was deeply loved by the audience.
So Zhu Cixiang decided to develop it into a series of movies, trying to release the entire n-part series and collect some money back.
Not only can they make movies, but their wives and concubines can also join the movie army.
The male protagonist is ready-made, and the team that tied up Ruan Phu Wei to surrender did not dare to return to Annan, for fear of being retaliated by Ruan Phu Wei's remnants.
Emperor Haojing gave them a reward of two million silver coins to help them settle down in Beidu, and also helped them
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is another page ^0^ Introducing a new job!
After a comprehensive physical examination and no major physical diseases, many of these guys don't have wives yet, so they can take this opportunity to practice in advance.
Ruan Phuc Wei doesn't have to go into battle in person. He can just be a fake male lead next to him. If he puts on the hat given by the other party, he is considered competent.
This guy has been squeezed dry by his own wives and concubines. If he didn't take medicine, he would be a mummy if he was entangled, and there would be basically no residual value.
Film actors not only have serious jobs in Ming Dynasty, but are also highly sought after by audiences, so these people do not need to worry about their future livelihoods.
The salary offered by Zhu Cixiang was not low, with the male lead at least one hundred silver coins per play, the female lead's salary doubled, and the supporting roles ranging from thirty to fifty.
At least one movie can be made a week, and four movies can be made in a month. Those minions can earn at least hundreds of silver coins.
And because they received a lot of silver rewards, each minion had the benefit of at least 50,000 silver coins.
Everyone has settled down in Beidu, and except for the climate, everything is fine.
There are bonuses, jobs, and women to play for free. If I had known now, why bother in the first place?
These people all believed that they should surrender to Emperor Hao Jing as soon as possible. This was a wise move!
As the saying goes: Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone!
Zhu Cixiang's arrangement is much better than Zhao who humiliated Li Yu back then.
Most of the wives and concubines of Zheng Fan and Ruan Fuwei were rewarded to meritorious ministers.
Those bachelors who surrender can each receive one for free.
Then the audience will have a movie to watch, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
In order to avoid unfairness, the Japanese army who reported truthfully also received a reward of two million silver coins.
In this regard, Zhu Cihong never begrudges silver coins, and he only gave two million more.
As long as you can save a lot of money, there is no need to care too much about this small amount of money.
After Nguyen Phuc Wei is arrested, the war in southern Annam can be ended quickly.
One of this guy's sons can raise the banner again to fight, but after the first time, there will be a second time.
Bao Buqi's men would follow suit and sell it to the Ming Dynasty King in exchange for a happy life for the rest of their lives.
Later generations recorded the failure of Annan's resistance to the Ming army. The main reason was--due to the betrayal of the traitor!
Zhu Cixiang believed that as long as Wanli used both soft and hard tactics and paid equal attention to kindness and power, local traitors in Annan would emerge in endlessly.
What do people live for?
Before this question, we must first consider how to survive!
If you can't even survive, there's no need to think about why.
Survive first, live later!
Selling your compatriots can help you live a better life, so why not do it?
If everyone is dead, wouldn't it mean that the Ming King Master was benefited in vain?
What's more, in this battle alone, there were far more women than men in Annan.
The person who surrenders first can marry a wife first, and if he has a wife, he can also marry a concubine.
If you already have a concubine, you probably wouldn’t mind having another concubine, right?
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
