Six hundred and seventy-two, finally waiting for this day
Yuan Huang is already 65 years old, but he is still as full as the spirit and his body is still always strong. Although he has a lot of government affairs, Yuan Huang has his own way of maintaining his health. In addition, Xiao Ruxun also tried his best to train clerks and bureaucrats to relieve pressure from Yuan Huang, so the old man's life expectancy still looks very abundant.
After Xiao Ruxun led his army north at the end of last year, Yuan Huang, who has been in charge of military affairs in Myanmar, was doing everything in accordance with the rules and regulations left by Xiao Ruxun, and things were handled in an orderly manner.
When Xiao Ruxun was in Myanmar, he played a more spiritual guide. The specific government affairs were arranged by Yuan Huang, so no one felt any difference.
However, as soon as this military situation was sent over, the situation suddenly became different.
Yuan Huang took the military information and looked carefully. When he saw most of the time, he immediately slapped the table.
"I finally waited for this day!"
Yuan Huang showed joy on his face.
The clerks and officials around him looked at Yuan Huang and asked questions.
"I dare ask, sir, what's the matter?"
Yuan Huang handed the document to the clerks around him for them to circulate.
"What? The Southern Barbarians killed Franjiyi?"
Yuan Huang nodded with a smile.
The southern barbarians they mentioned were the local indigenous people who cooperated with Xiao Ruxun after Xiao Ruxun led their troops to destroy the Dongyu Dynasty. After Xiao Ruxun entered Myanmar, they were all moved to the west by Xiao Ruxun to a location close to Bangladesh, where they lived.
However, the relationship between the two sides has not been very good. Mainly after the development of Myanmar, these people felt that they were at a disadvantage. The people who were forced to move by Xiao Ruxun were already dissatisfied. Seeing the Han people building their hometowns so well day after day, they naturally had no idea.
Before, they were frightened by Xiao Ruxun's strength and the mighty power of the Zhennan Army, they only dared to do small things and did not dare to do big things, but they never relaxed for a moment. However, Xiao Ruxun would not relax their guard against them, and had been planning to completely wipe them out, but they had always lacked reasonable excuses.
After pacifying Luzon, Xiao Ruxun arranged Cardinal Alexander from Rome to this area to do missionary preaching, called experiments.
If they can make these people accept Catholicism, then Xiao Ruxun can confirm that Catholicism is safe and can accept that they preach in Myanmar. If it doesn't work, it's hard to say.
Of course, Bishop Alexander would not refuse such a request. He happily took his more than thirty followers to preach in the tribes of these southern barbarians. Matteo Ricci followed him throughout the journey and provided translation services to Bishop Alexander. This mission was carried out very well for a period of time.
Although Xiao Ruxun had left Myanmar at this time, he had already discussed countermeasures with Yuan Huang.
They bribed the tribe leaders to sow discord, spread some rumors that Catholicism was not conducive to their rule, and fabricated some rumors that Franjiyi spread religion to seize power of rule, and easily provoked these leaders.
Just one month later, these heads made countermeasures, such as restricting Bishop Alexander and his group of people into their settlements, driving them out and scolding them at any time, thinking that they could be driven away.
But unexpectedly, Bishop Alexander had already been determined to open a Chinese diocese for the position of the pope. He was indomitable and refused to leave. He also pioneered the use of the guerrilla missionary model!
Another month has passed, and many people have become Catholic, and have developed a lot of dissatisfaction with the oppression and plunder of the original tribe. In addition, tribal leaders often use barbaric methods to drive away these Franchise people, so a few days ago, a confrontation occurred in a medium tribe.
The heads of this tribe caught two missionaries and wanted to whip them. More than one hundred believers were unwilling to protect these missionaries. The heads of the tribe were furious and ordered their men to attack these "betrayers", killing more than fifty people on the spot.
In the chaos, the two missionaries were also killed, and things became a big deal.
When more tribal leaders saw that they had killed people, they simply decided to kill all the "devil's slaves" who came from somewhere.
After some chaos, the missionaries killed seventeen or eighteen, and the believers were killed three or five hundred. In the end, the believers gave up their lives to stop the pursuers, so that Bishop Alexander and Matteo Ricci and others escaped, and found the garrison site of the Zhennan Army for help.
The head men brought troops to chase after him. Seeing that the Zhennan Army had taken over these missionaries and asked the Zhennan Army to hand over these devil slaves. They wanted to execute these people. The Zhennan Army had long received the order from Yuan Huang to protect Alexander and his group, forcibly demanded the heads to leave, and even set up muskets and artillery to deter them. They were forced to retreat.
However, within the following few hours, small-scale harassment incidents continued to occur at the Ming army's garrison site, so this report was found.
The time has come.
Before leaving, Xiao Ruxun handed over his military-deploy to Yuan Huang. When necessary, Yuan Huang could use his jade talisman to command the generals to mobilize the army and fight against the remnants of Dongzhao.
Xiao Ruxun had a flag of the Zhennan Army's troops dispatched by the Ministry of War. This was sent to Xiao Ruxun by the Ministry of War. When it was necessary to mobilize the Zhennan Army, the Ministry of War would send people to use the corresponding flag to mobilize the troops, but the Ministry of War had never used the Zhennan Army to fight.
Therefore, within the Zhennan Army, the flag plaque had no effect, so Xiao Ruxun directly used himself as a token of troops to mobilize troops.
Xiao Ruxun was very concerned about the military power of Zhennan Army. Except for Yuan Huang, he really didn't believe the others, so he often appeared in the barracks of major armies and had in-depth contact with the soldiers. Over the years, basically every soldier of Zhennan Army knew what he looked like, and he himself was the best token of mobilizing troops.
In the past, soldiers basically did not know what the senior generals looked like when they joined the army. They only knew who their direct boss was. They followed their direct bosses to fight. Even rebellion was like this. They were the least self-willed, so they had to use military talismans to ensure the mobilization and ownership of the army.
The situation here is different. In order to ensure that he has absolute control over the army, Xiao Ruxun does not use flags in the army, but only uses himself to mobilize people. If he is not here, he will inform him in advance whom he will give the jade talisman representing him and who will follow the orders.
In fact, the army still obeyed Xiao Ruxun's orders alone, because even a soldier had seen Xiao Ruxun and knew that he would be loyal to him, rather than his boss or general in command. This is also an important reason why Xiao Ruxun could go beyond the general in command of the army and directly intervene in command of the army.
Of course, this is something that can only be done when the stall is small. If the stall is big and there are too many troops, this method will not work, so Xiao Ruxun prepared the jade talisman as the second token of troops. When he is not here, the army will obey the orders of the jade talisman.
According to the ancient army's practice, Xiao Ruxun himself was there, and he used Xiao Ruxun's instructions as the highest order, because everyone knew him and knew that he would be loyal to him. Xiao Ruxun was not there, so he followed the orders of the jade talisman.
Each army has its own symbolic jade talisman, the left half is in the hands of the army generals and the right half is in the hands of Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun handed over the jade talisman to Yuan Huang, and Yuan Huang could use the jade talisman to mobilize the entire Zhennan army in Myanmar.
Now, it is the time for Zhennan Army to be dispatched.
