Chapter 196: Military Commander

General of Guangxi?" Wang Qiu looked at Ji F's scar who was escorted by Wuhua, sneered and unfolded with sneer, and was so bloody.

"The fear of kneeling down was wiped out, and what was replaced by calmness and determination to die: "Yes, I am the General of the Guangxi Guarjia Feijihai."

"It's a man!" Wang Qiu raised his hand, and the two Qing soldiers who pressed him let go of their hands, and stood behind Ji Hai with a warning. Wang Qiu still sneered on his face, adding: "It's a pity that it's a full dog. For the sake of not begging for mercy, I will give you a pleasure. Come and send him on the way."

"There is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king. Haha, if I had known that the Han dogs in the Green Camp were so bad, they would not have ended up today." Ji Hai cursed and turned around and stepped out of the camp.

Wang Qiu's face was scary and shouted: "Wait! I have changed my mind. Come on, cut off his ears and noses, send them out of the camp, and ask him to report to his master, telling them that one day, the Emperor Ming Dynasty will slaughter you all the people. If a person dies in Yangzhou and Jiading, he will kill many people to be buried with him."

Ji Hai sneered, "Just you? The Eight Banners have only a hundred soldiers stationed in Guangxi, and the remaining two hundred knights are all Han people. Plus 10,000 green camps, which makes you lucky to win. One day, when the 200,000 real Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty arrived one after another, it was the death of you, the group of rioters." Ji Hai stopped talking and strolled out. Several Ming soldiers who were guarding the custodial army immediately followed, and only heard a burst of pain roars of tearing outside the camp. After a while, a creator came in with a tray dressed in Ji Hai's ears and noses and reported: "Sir, Di Chief has cut off his ears and noses. Several brothers have applied incense ash to him and sent him out of the camp."

"Send the order, don't delay, the army is advancing towards Nanning immediately!"



The battle report reached the camp of the Central Army that was slowly moving behind. Zhu Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Li Dingguo's comments in Sichuan were also full of good news. Kunming City in Yunnan was heavily guarded and Guangxi had no resistance. In this way, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi provinces were included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly. This battle was too smooth. The main reason was that the Qing army mainly concentrated the military forces of the southwest on Wu Sangui. With Wu Sangui's defeat, the entire southwest region was equivalent to opening a hole. The real main force of Manchu and Mongolia was mainly entrenched in Mongolia, Northeast and the capital area. Although this battle was a complete victory, it was enough to shock the Qing court. The Manchus originally thought that the southwest was a problem of foot moss and did not pay enough attention. Once they felt the threat, the main force of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners would go south sooner or later, and it would be difficult to fight in the future.

Zhu Jun carefully checked the battle reports of various provinces, roughly estimated that the number of soldiers of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners was only 6,000. Most of the rest could take advantage of the cavalry to calmly withdraw from the battlefield. The most severely damaged was the Green Camp. The Green Camp was captured by 70,000 or 80,000 Green Camp soldiers, and the rest escaped into the countryside, put down their weapons and turned into civilians, with no combat ability at all.

In other words, Zhu Jun tried his best. The 40,000 New Army actually wiped out only 6,000 Eight Banners soldiers. Such a result was really cold. In this way, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and the entire Ming army is only 60,000. Once the main force of Manchu and Mongolian went south, the Ming army could only adopt a defensive force and constantly recruit the new army to consolidate the results.

Fortunately, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guangxi are mountainous and unsuitable for large-scale cavalry battles. It is not impossible to resist the Manchus' southward movement. Zhu Jun breathed a sigh of relief. Now he has to do the land. On the contrary, the internal integration problem is becoming increasingly prominent. The original establishment of camps such as Shenyong Shenji Mountains has gradually begun to appear due to the increase in military territory. Li Dingguo has written a letter to request a change in the military system. It has enabled the various departments to integrate and cooperate, so that the Ming army is no longer limited to the situation of one battalion's separate operations. The concept of military region has gradually taken shape in Zhu Jun's mind.

Zhu Jun picked up his pen and dipped ink to tie the ten provinces of Nanyang, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Sichuan on rice paper. Sichuan is an important channel to Gansu and Shaanxi. It is also the most important invasion site of the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. The responsibility here is the heaviest. It should be carried by an old man who is both loyal and familiar with military tactics and well-versed in war. After Zhu Jun pondered, he wrote the name of Li Dingguo under the three big characters of Sichuan Province without hesitation. With the ability of Li Dingguo, there should be no problem in defending Sichuan. As long as the supply of food and ammunition in the rear is sufficient, with the advantage of Sichuan, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry could not enter Sichuan in the numerous passes and mountains.

Guangxi is adjacent to Guangdong. The main enemy should be Shang Kexi, the king of Zhennan in Guangdong. Shang Kexi has 50,000 or 60,000 Han troops under its jurisdiction. Their combat power cannot be underestimated. In addition, Geng Jingzhong, Fujian, has always advanced and retreated with Shang Kexi. 40,000 or 50,000 Han troops in Fujian, may also be transferred to Guangdong to listen to it. If only Guangxi province wants to resist the elite troops of the two provinces.

Zhu Jun held his pen and didn't know how to write. Suddenly, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind. I remembered Qiongzhou Island (Hainan), a few dozen nautical miles apart from Guangxi. As long as there was a threat from Qiongzhou, at least most of Shang Kexi's troops could be held. After all, Shang Kexi's old fox would never dare to repeat the mistakes of Guangxi. Once Guangdong sent troops to invade Guangxi, then the Ming Navy in Qiongzhou could be dispatched at any time and then came out to rescue Zhao. Zhu Jun thought of this. He immediately picked up his pen under the three big characters of Guangxi Province. He wrote two small characters of Li Xiao. He also wrote under the Qiongzhou Island on the side that the Dongyang Navy changed its garrison to Qiongzhou. Luzon could send a squadron to station.

Next is Yunnan. The gateways are mainly in Guizhou Province. The Guanning Army, where Wu Sangui is defeated, has greatly reduced its strength. Moreover, the Guanning Army and Manchus have always been in a disagreement. On the surface, they are complacent and secretly act on their own. Therefore, if the Eight Banners entered Guizhou to attack Yunnan, the Ming Army, probably not only was the first general of the Guanning Army, led by Zhao Fu, refused to agree. Therefore, the pressure in Yunnan has become much easier. After all, the Guanning Army is no longer as good as before. It also rejects the Eight Banners Army. The position of the Yunnan commander can be handed over to Mu Jianming with confidence. Mu Jianming is a descendant of the Mu Duke. The father and son are loyal to themselves and are well-known in Yunnan. Mu Jianming is the most suitable candidate.

Next are the nine provinces in the Nanyang area. This is the territory of Myanmar and Siam. There are no huge enemies around it. Therefore, the deployment of troops can be weaker. Zhang Youde is a steady person and can stand alone. He can be the general of the four Siam provinces. The defense of the five provinces in Myanmar is led by himself. Wang Qiu is the deputy general of the five provinces in the Jingji area. Liu Er, the Nanyang Naval Camp, is stationed in Java to control the Nanyang waterways. Liu Guoxuan, the Dongyang Naval Camp, is stationed on Qiongzhou Island. It can control the waters of Luzon and Vietnam in the south. It can support the security of the Beibu Gulf. It can deter Taiwan, Guangdong and Fujian provinces in the north.

The entire Ming Dynasty's territory and troops were cut into seven parts, five army and two naval divisions. The main reason was that they were in charge of the Haidu of the central province, and more than a dozen other provinces were coordinated together. There was a detailed division of labor in defense and dispatch. Each person was in charge, which also saved the mutual influx between the various departments.

As for the issue of rebellion and rebellion, Zhu Jun was not worried. Not to mention that all the seven people were promoted by themselves except Li Dingguo. There was absolutely no problem with the loyalty of the seven people. Moreover, the Ming army had been completely integrated and was no longer the old feudal army of the past. For example, the army of each province was sympathized by the court to each province, and the three-month training of recruits was conducted in the sea. During this period, they would be instilled with the Ming consciousness and a strong sense of loyalty to the emperor. This deep-rooted thought will accompany them. It was assigned to various provinces until the end of life. When soldiers had their minds, it was very difficult for upper-level officers to incite mutiny. Moreover, most of the middle and lower-level officers of the Ming army were provided by the martial arts hall and the military academies in Haidu. In addition to the necessary military knowledge, these people did not relax their ideological brainwashing for a moment, and even reached the point of paranoidness. From the moment they graduated and entered the army, they had become loyalists of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor. Such people were absolutely impossible to follow the commander to rebel.

Brainwashing is not a derogatory term, so don’t care too much. Even in modern times, which country will not conduct brainwashing publicity? It’s just that the intensity and methods of publicity are different. Some are more concealed, some are more concise, some are tactful, and some are too direct.)

After deciding everything, Zhu Jun recruited a small eunuch, folded the draft and sent it back to Haidu, and handed it over to the cabinet for review before issuing the decree.

Afterwards, Zhu Jun urged the army to continue to advance towards Nanning, and continued to send small groups of troops to occupy each county. The entire Guangxi had lost its ability to resist and the overall situation was decided. Even if there were prefectures and counties who wanted to resist, it would probably not last long. As long as Zhu Jun's army entered Nanning, everything would be over.

Wang Qiu's death camp had already arrived at the city of Nanning. The defeated soldiers who fled into the city in a hurry closed the city gate and planned to hold on. Looking at the towering city wall and the wide moat, Wang Qiu could only stare at him. No matter how powerful the death camp was, it would not be possible to break the city wall.

The suicide camp can only be stationed outside the city, waiting for the arrival of the central army, and in their spare time to catch the scattered soldiers and brave men scattered outside the city, or go to the moat to point at the guards at the top of the city to vent their words.

Two days later, the central army finally arrived, and the dense Ming army began to deploy a siege. In the evening, dozens of artillery were placed on the top of the city. After the first round of artillery attacks, the Qing soldiers on the top of the city immediately understood that relying on the city to defend was simply a fantasy. In their eyes, the solid city wall was blown out several big holes. As long as there were a few more rounds, the city wall would collapse. What else should I say? Run!
