Chapter 1065: Attack on the Southeast

After transferring Gao Yicheng away and getting Yang Yongyu out of the imperial court, if he continues to attack, the noble forces will inevitably be anxious, and may even fight back.

Therefore, after Gao Yihuan attacked continuously, he suddenly stopped and began to show favor to Xungui, waiting for the next opportunity.

It's like training a ferocious beast, and when it's about to provoke him, give him another piece of meat, shun the hair, and then continue to train him, and by the time he finds out, he's already tamed.

The world has been in turmoil for many years, and the Great Wei State has inherited a world full of holes and a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt.

At this time, restoring people's livelihood and maintaining stability is the first priority, so Gao Yihuan proposed a plan to change the order to a tender and prepare to send troops to North Korea.

In the past, what the imperial court procured, it was mainly the officials in charge of procurement to decide, so after the change, it can avoid corruption, and at the same time can promote competition between workshops, so as to avoid the big relationship to take orders and not want to forge ahead, and there is competition to develop.

Previously, the Xungui Group opposed the transfer of the order to Jiangnan, saying that Gao Yihuan was partial to Jiangnan and was not convinced, but now that it has been changed, the Xungui Group can't get the list anymore, so he can't be blamed.

Gao Yihuan's decision to fight North Korea was to appease the army and divert internal contradictions to the outside world.

For all generations, as long as there is internal stability in a big country like China, there is a chance to resolve any contradictions, and once there is internal instability, it will inevitably bring about tremendous turmoil and give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of it.

At this time, Gao Yihuan felt the strength of the noble forces, and when he was not sure, Gao Yihuan would not do it easily, once he did it, it would be thunderous and could not cause social turmoil.

Gao Yihuan didn't want to kill heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang, he hoped to solve internal problems and give them a chance at the same time, but if they didn't know each other, there would be no way.

Chen Mingxia and others heard that the emperor was going to fight North Korea, which was obviously showing goodwill to Xungui, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Gao Yihuan glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any objections!" ”

Li Yan and the others stood up and saluted one after another: "Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objections!" ”

……

In August, when the Great Wei was entangled in trivial matters, the external situation of the Great Wei changed rapidly.

Soon after the main Wei army withdrew from Central Asia, Russian reinforcements rushed to the front line of the Ural River and launched a counterattack in early summer.

Seeing that the fortress could not be recaptured, Tsarist Russia sent an envoy to negotiate, demanding that the Wei army return Tyumen Fort and occupy the land of Tsarist Russia, otherwise Tsarist Russia would continue to increase its troops, Wu Sangui ignored it, but after the main force of the Wei army withdrew, he also felt great pressure.

……

The Great Wei felt the pressure of Tsarist Russia in the northwest, and in the northeast of Korea, it felt the pressure from the Great Wei.

Since Hauge retreated into Korea after the defeat, the Qing army felt that the end was coming, and in order to save his life, Hauge even sent people to Chang'an to pay tribute to Gao Yihuan, hoping to be a vassal of the Great Wei, in order to ask the Wei army to let him go.

Gao Yihuan left Haoge's envoy in Chang'an and never gave an answer, Haoge was also a smart person, and at a glance he knew that Gao Yihuan wanted to delay time, wait for the Wei army to get ready, and then attack Korea, and would not agree to him to claim the vassal at all.

In despair, Hauge, who had no hope for peace, and the Manchurian nobles who fled to Korea fell into madness, and while building forts in the mountains, storing grain, and preparing to retreat into the mountains and forests for a long time, they followed the advice of the traitors and sent people to cross the sea to the Wa Kingdom to ask for help.

It's just that decades ago, Japan was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese have not forgotten it, and the Tokugawa shogunate did not agree to support.

Every few hundred years, after their confidence swelled, they always wanted to get involved in the mainland, but each time they were defeated, and as long as they were defeated, they would often be quiet for hundreds of years.

In the first battle of Baijiangkou in the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese were defeated and divided for a period of time, and after the first war of Wanli aid Korea, Japan also had to settle for hundreds of years.

Great Wei did not agree to negotiate peace, and there was no foreign aid in Korea, so Haoge and other Manchurian nobles could only build fortresses while waiting for the end to come.

……

By August, a year and a half had passed since the Battle of Nanling.

During this time, the Wei army was in the south and did not have a complete truce.

Nanming on the sea can't be beaten, but Sun Kewang on land can.

Therefore, in the past year and a half, the Wei army launched many attacks in the southwest, fought more than ten major and small battles, and finally recovered Yunnan and Guizhou.

Originally, these two places were impassable, there were many toasts, and it was not easy to fight, but after the Nanling War, Sun Kewang's strength was greatly damaged, and the natives rebelled, and Sun Kewang had to shrink his troops, so Yungui did not have any garrisons, and they were easily collected by the Wei army.

In the battle of Nanling, Sun Kewang suffered heavy losses, and the country could not sit steadily, but as he withdrew the Zhou army of Yungui, the strength of the Zhou army gathered into a single force, and the five fingers formed a fist, re-forming the advantage, and gradually stabilized the situation in the Indochina Peninsula.

Now Sun Kewang suppressed the domestic rebellion, bloodied the rebellious Zhamps, and re-established the hegemony of the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

However, it was only second, there was Wei in the north, and Sun Kewang did not dare to send troops to expand, so he could only hold on to his family and wait for the opportunity.

……

In the south of Great Wei, another opponent is Nanming.

During this period of time, Nanming was not idle, they recovered Taiwan, drove out the Dutch, and relocated the population to develop Taiwan.

Now Nanming's grain has been self-sufficient, and it can be said that it has gained a firm foothold in Qiongzhou and Taiwan.

When the military case occurred in the Great Wei Dynasty and the imperial court was busy with the struggle, the Southern Ming attacked Luzon Island in June, fought hard for nearly three months, suffered thousands of casualties, and finally forced the Spaniards in Luzon to surrender with ten times the strength of 20,000 Ming troops.

After the Ming army occupied Luzon, a thorny problem became apparent, because the Spanish purged the Han Chinese on the island of Luzon, and the Ming army occupied Luzon, and it was difficult to develop the island without Han Chinese.

Today, Taiwan can still accommodate two million people, Luzon Island can accommodate four or five million people, and the population of the entire Nanming Dynasty is less than three million.

This made the Southern Ming Dynasty urgently need the population to enrich Taiwan and Luzon, only with the population, can there be a source of tax soldiers, in order to build ships, to counter the Great Wei.

In Gulangyu, Xiamen, in the water village of the Ming army, Zheng Sen, who had just returned from Luzon, met Wang Yan again in the big tent.

At this time, Zheng Sen said: "Wang Xianggong, now that Heyi and Xiyi have been defeated by us, and the threat behind them has been eliminated, we can start preparing to make a move against the Wei thief." ”

Wang Yan said: "What are the plans of the national surname?" ”

Zheng Sen stood in front of the map, "I am going to rest for two months, hurry up and buy some supplies from the mainland to stockpile, and then start attacking the southeast coast in October, gain population, and move to Taiwan and Luzon." ”
