Chapter 611 Let the meat rot in the pot and say that there is no evidence, seeing is believing.In order to let these Li leaders go south to attack the Indochina Peninsula, Quan Xu personally took Zheng He, as well as twelve main warships, to form a huge fleet, which flew across the sea, went upstream, and arrived at Thang Long City.Of course, this time Quanxu arrived in Thang Long City in the name of business, and he carried a lot of materials, anyway, he beat the children on a rainy day, and he was idle, and by the way, he could make a fortune.Thang Long City, originally a strategic place, is located on the right bank of the Red River and the confluence of the Red River and the Dun River, whether it is from the south to the north, or from the interior to the coast, it is a must pass, and the geographical location is very important.On June 13 of the seventh year of Chongzhen, dozens of large warships appeared on the surface of the Red River, and because the warships and transport ships were too large, they could not dock directly at the pier of Thang Long City, so they had to build a trestle bridge.The first to come down from the trestle was naturally the soldiers of the whole family army, these soldiers formed a group with the sound of the password, and the big scalp boots knocked on the pier with a bang, and everyone was not frightened, but continued to look at the Western scenery with interest.As the soldiers of the whole family army controlled the direction of the dock, naturally Annan officials came to inquire.Quan Xu didn't pay attention to these people, if the people of Annam are not honest, as long as they dare to do it, he is ready to open the film at any time, now he can lead a marine brigade, and two regiments of soldiers, these fifteen or six thousand people, it is impossible to defeat Annam, but it is not difficult to destroy Thang Long City.Their officials understood Chinese, and the communication between the two sides was also very smooth, and the Ming Dynasty's deterrent effect on Annan was still there, and they were strictly ordered not to provoke the Ming officials and soldiers.Fortunately, the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty were very particular, they just occupied the wharf in the south, waited for more than ten square kilometers, and then began to ask the government to find them laborers, each of whom paid ten cents a day.Although Annam broke away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty, the silver or copper coins of the Ming Dynasty were also the common currency in Annam, but the key was that the purchasing power was quite strong, ten cents a day's wages, and as a result, six or seven thousand people came to work.The temporary wharf became a catharsis site, where an indescribably large number of things were constantly unloaded and loaded, and after loading a team, they walked out and assembled in a more spacious place.Bags of sea salt, some of the loading and unloading accidentally fell apart, and the white flower salt poured out, and no one went to clean up, just busy unloading more goods down.There was no shortage of food in Annan, and the goods transported by the whole army were canned food, flour, oil, pickles, coal bales, wax sticks, lighters, silk, fabrics, woolen sweaters, pots and pans............
As long as you can think of anything that has passed the day, you have it all!
The number is so big, according to the estimation of the people on the pier, it is more than enough to feed the people of Quansheng City for a month!
Thang Long City is not a small city, but has a population of more than 300,000 and more than 70,000 soldiers, and Thang Long City also imitated the Forbidden City in Beijing, and built an identical Forbidden City.The things that were unloaded from the back were more and more strange, oilcloth, hemp felt, iron and steel products, iron buckles, four-legged nails, cement, wine and sugar.The Ming Dynasty strong fleet arrived in Annam Shengcheng, which made Thang Long City quite nervous, at this time Annam is the late Li Dynasty, Li Dynasty general Zheng Song defeated the Mo Dynasty in the north, Zheng Song is in hot power, self-appointed "Marshal General State Politics Shang Father Ping'an Wang", grasp the appointment and dismissal of officials, taxation, drawing, governance of the people, etc., the status is hereditary, known as "Zheng Lord", Li Huang is only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys, later historians to "Li is the emperor, Zheng is in power" to describe this situation.This situation changed dramatically in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Ruan's two factions launched a huge war, and fought seven times before and after, in the seventh year of Chongzhen, it was the second battle between the two sides that passed, and both sides suffered heavy losses and began to seek the next attack.After Quan Xu led the whole family army to Thang Long City, it aroused the vigilance of both sides, and both Zheng Song and Ruan Huang successively sent envoys to meet Quan Xu.Quan Xu said, you beat you, I just came to do business.Zheng Song and Ruan Huang obviously don't believe it, but if they don't believe it, there is no way, in order to send away this plague god as soon as possible, Zheng Song decided to pay his own money and buy Quan Xu's things, your things are sold out, it's time to go, right?
The idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.Quan Xu took these tribal leaders to visit the Red River Plain, the environment of the Indochina Peninsula is actually worse than Taiwan, surrounded by mountains, dense jungles, swamps, and large rivers, for the Dutch, this ghost place is almost like hell.But for the Li chiefs and the tribal leaders, entering such a place is like returning home, and their ancestors have lived in far worse conditions for more than 2,000 years.In their opinion, this place is good, the prey is very abundant, everything they need to survive can be found in the jungle, and the point is that the jungle is like home for them.Even if there are few people who can't beat the Annamite people, as long as they hide in the jungle, there is a kind of chase to try?
Guaranteed to come in as many as you want to die!
Dong Ke said excitedly: "This place is good, it is simply the same as what we tailor-made, as long as we can get enough weapons and equipment, and even without a large army, just the troops raised by our clan can consume those Annan people to death!"
”Du Asu said: "I also think this place is good, it is all fat hunting grounds, and the land is also very fertile, and planting rice here will definitely be able to harvest every year!"
”"Yes, when we take this place, I'll let my people move over and open up a new settlement here!"
Dong Ke said with a smile: "With the help of Hou Ye, my clan will definitely be able to develop and grow and live a life of abundant food and clothing!"
”"How about it, Ben Hou didn't lie to you, right?"
Quan Xu pointed to the crooked rice in the field and said: "This place is thrown to the people of Annan, it is simply such a good place where the heavens have no eyes and are blind."
After reading the place, let's go back and prepare!
”Zheng Song spent 1.85 million taels of silver to buy the goods carried by Quan Xu at a high price, so that the businessmen who came with Quan Xu made a lot of money, and everyone was happy.When they heard that Quan Xu was going to arm the Li and Miao people to attack the Red River Plain, these merchants donated a large amount of materials, and they didn't need to use the inventory of the whole army, which was enough for half a year to supply the 100,000 army and sent it to Qiongzhou Mansion.It was Quan Xu's personal guard Shi Tianbao who gave Quan Xu an opinion: "They Guangxi people also need a good place like the Red River Plain, if Hou Ye can recruit troops, he is sure to recruit thousands of people!"
”Quan Xu instantly woke up, not only the Zhuang people, in order to increase the combat effectiveness of the southbound army, Quan Xu recruited a large number of Zhuang, Tujia, Miao, Yao, Dong, Yi, Bai, Hani, Dai from Hu, Guangyun, Gui A total of more than 70,000 people.These people are in Danzhou, the capital of Qiongzhou, together with the Li people's southbound army, and receive training from the whole family army, these people are young and strong, with good physical strength, amazing endurance, and they are simply natural warriors.Many people will say that soldiers are trained, but this sentence is not entirely true, just like most people in India, no matter how they are trained, they will not become good soldiers, and of course blacks.The Tanzanian Army, known as the East African Liberation Army, under China's training, can only drive tanks and fail to crush their own people, but this is the color that can sweep through East Africa.It is enough to show the combat effectiveness of the Africans, that is a complete joke.However, almost all the people of the Chinese nation can become excellent soldiers, they can do what they order and prohibit, they can also be fearless of death, and they can fight to the death."
Boom, boom, boom......, boom" With the sound of cannons, the soldiers of the southbound legion with muskets lined up in a neat formation and began to rush forward."
Attack, attack, don't stop, speed up, don't mess up, and don't panic!"
Mao Yuanyi looked at the elite soldiers of all ethnic groups on the training ground, his eyes were a little complicated: "Master Hou, they have only been training for less than two months, and they are almost half of the quality of our family army, if they are allowed to fight a few battles, it will not be worse than our family army......"
"You are wrong, when firearms become the mainstream of war, the role of courage and will has been greatly weakened!"
”Quan Xu smiled faintly: "These firearms, after losing the ammunition supply, are just a bunch of useless burning sticks, do you think they can still leave us?"
”It's not that Quan Xu has nothing to do, if you want to soften a nation, you must use iron and blood, not one sentence or two, Quan Xu's goal is expansion, which is different from the expansion of European colonization.He has enough population to occupy it, and he has it, instead of leaving too many hidden dangers, if the Americans don't kill all the Indians, can the United States be prosperous and stable?
No way, that would only exacerbate internal divisions, so the Americans have slaughtered more than 50 million natives, and the Indians are now rarer than the domestic pandas.In August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the tropical climate was a headache, and there was a wave every three or five days, so that the Qiongzhou Mansion was either windy or lightning and thunder.However, on August 13, the sky over Qiongzhou Port, the capital of Qiongzhou, was as clear as a wash, the sea breeze was blowing, and it was rare to see each other several times a year in such good weather.The huge fleet of the whole family army began to assemble, and this time more than 400 large and small warships were used, which was only an escort fleet, and more importantly, Quanxu transferred more than 1,000 large sea ships to transport these southbound troops.In order to increase the strength of the southbound army, Quan Xu purchased 300,000 pieces of jungle camouflage uniforms from later generations and prepared a large number of materials.The whole family army used the Red River Delta to build a huge temporary wharf to send the troops of the southbound army to the Red River Delta, and at the same time, the whole family army helped the southbound army to establish a solid logistics base.On 17 August, as the vanguard force, the Li army led by Dong Ke fought against the Annan army, and the trained Li army won a victory, winning more with less, and in just half an hour, it wiped out about 3,000 people in the Annan army, and lost less than 100 of its own.Mao Yuanyi said with some puzzlement: "Master Hou, the Red River Plain is more fertile than the Songliao Plain, why don't we occupy it ourselves?"
Still want to use them?
