Chapter 129 The Second Application of the False Road to Cut Guo
There are countless places like Jiaozhi, Juelong Ridge, Mielong Ridge, Death Dragon Mountain, and Quelong Valley.
These place names actually have meanings. Every time such a place name appears, it proves that the Cochin people won a victory when they fought against the Han people.
Since the Han Dynasty, the Cochin people have fought countless battles with the Han people, been beaten for more than two thousand years, resisted for more than two thousand years, and been ruled for more than a thousand years.
Whether it was the Han, Tang or Ming dynasties, the governance of the Jiaozhi people was relatively rough.
No real officials have ever been sent to govern this land. The only requirement of those dynasties on this land is to plunder.
Before the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi had always been part of the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty. After Jiaozhi became independent from the Southern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty had been trying to regain Vietnam.
Both the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty used large-scale military forces against Jiaozhi, but both ended in failure.
Until the Ming Dynasty, the great Chengzu Emperor Zhu Di sent half a million soldiers and finally conquered Vietnam.
The Chief Secretary of Cochin was established in the south of Cochin to reintegrate Cochin into the territory of the Central Plains.
However, it is regrettable that only more than twenty years later, the Ming Dynasty ceded Jiaozhi, voluntarily gave up, withdrew its troops from Jiaozhi and returned, leaving him to survive alone.
Thanks to Han Lingshan and Xia Wanchun for everything they did in Beijing.
Yun Zhao now has the opportunity to look through the confidential documents of the Ming Dynasty.
From a memorial written by Zhang Yu’s son Zhang Fu to Emperor Chengzu, Yun Zhao discovered that the reason why the Ming Dynasty abandoned Jiaozhi was entirely because the land in Jiaozhi was too barren, the people were too poor, and the environment was harsh. .
A long time ago, Jiaozhi was an excluded land. The land yields were not high, but the cost of occupation and development was high.
The Ming Dynasty's Jiaozhi garrison cost millions of silver every year, and could only collect tax revenue of 70,000 silver at most. The occupation of Jiaozhi was obviously a loss-making transaction. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty not only did not receive a lot of taxes in Jiaozhi every year, but also had to repay the money.
Although the Ming Dynasty was the richest country at the time, they could not afford these lazy people.
For the Ming Dynasty, which pursued utilitarianism, abandoning Jiaozhi was in the national interest.
Before giving up Jiaozhi, the Ming Dynasty naturally wanted to try its best to recover the military expenditure it paid. Then, it sent many eunuchs to collect taxes in Jiaozhi... Then, the Jiaozhi people became even more hateful.
Then, the Ming army became more brutal.
In the end, everyone can no longer get along together.
For these reasons, Jinhu had no civilian base at all after entering Jiaozhi. With enemies on all sides, all Jinhu could do was suppress it forcefully.
Wearing half leather armor and cowhide sandals on his feet, he carried a new-style gun on his shoulders and a big-brimmed hat on his head, spitting out his mouth.With his cigarette butt in his butt, Jin Hu strode down the hillside.
The weather was too hot, and the rest of the soldiers looked the same. They all had beards and looked a little slovenly. With their current appearance, if they were in the Fenghuang Mountain Military Camp, they would definitely be whipped.
No one here is too particular. There are even some guys with their bare butts and buttocks dangling in the military camp.
Jin Hu walked into the thatched shed, threw the gun on the table, poured a cup of tea into his bamboo cup, looked at his deputy general Ma Guangyuan and said: "Jiaozhi will be attacked sooner or later, why?" Want to attack the Champa Kingdom first?"
Ma Guangyuan tied his disheveled hair into a bun, fixed it with a hairpin and said lazily: "Your Majesty needs some war elephants to clear the way in the jungle."
p>Jin Hu frowned and said: "It is better to use people to open the way than war elephants."
Ma Guangyuan glared at Jin Hu and said: "Be merciful, people enter the jungle, How many can survive?"
Jin Hu said: "I only want roads, so what do I need so many people for?"
Ma Guangyuan closed his mouth when he heard this and shook his head.
The method Jin Hu mentioned has been used by everyone all the time. Ever since they left Zhennanguan, everyone has been using this method. Otherwise, how could they reach Hue.
At the beginning, Jin Hu also wanted to hire local people to open roads. However, these Cochin people took the money and ran away. As for building roads, it was purely a dream.
Later, prisoners were used to build roads. Unfortunately, after getting the tools, these prisoners thought about how to escape and riot instead of how to build roads.
When Jin Hu discovered that this land was full of enemies, he began to arrest soldiers and civilians without distinction...
Until now, Jin Hu's reputation for marching into Jiaozhi is pursuit. Zhang Bingzhong, and the march route is in the middle of the Zheng family and the Ruan family. Therefore, until now, the Zheng family and the Ruan family have not taken the initiative to attack Jin Hu's troops. They have been very restrained.
The only people participating in the resistance were the state capitals that the Ming army passed through that had been ravaged by Zhang Bingzhong, and their resistance was negligible.
"Our reinforcements have arrived, so we should continue to move forward. However, Hue must be taken down to serve as our logistics supply base. This should be feasible."
< p>Jin Hu thought for a while and finally decided to follow the marching route sent by General Yunmeng.Mr. Qinglong has just wiped out the chieftains in the southwest, and is presiding over the cruel plan of reforming the native land in Zhennanguan. He will not be able to march into Jiaozhi for a while. General Yunmeng leads an army of 30,000 to tightly Follow Jin Hu.
Every time Jin Hu advances a hundred miles, General Yunmeng will continue to follow for another hundred miles. Jin Hu opens the road in front of him in a leisurely manner, while Yunmeng’s army follows leisurely behind. Follow up slowly.
Their scope of activities was limited to both sides of the road. They showed no interest in the nearby Jiaozhi Prefecture capital, and slowly pursued Zhang Bingzhong with a firm goal.
Although those in Jiaozhi who were well aware of the Han culture shouted that this was a dangerous strategy to "defeat Guo on a false road", in view of the strong military strength of the Ming Dynasty, both the Ruan family and the Zheng family expected that The reason why the people of the Ming Dynasty came to Jiaozhi was because of Zhang Bingzhong.
Now, the road of Jinhu's development is about to diverge. One road will continue to pursue Zhang Bingzhong, and the other road will go straight to the Champa Kingdom.
Jin Hu marked a Y-shaped mark on the map and said to Ma Guangyuan: "What do you think if we divide the Zheng family and the Ruan family into two countries, the north and the south?"
p>Ma Guangyuan looked at Jin Hu and said: "The reason why we can stay here until now is because the Zheng family and the Ruan family are not compatible. If Your Majesty is willing to issue an edict to divide the Ruan family, the Zheng family will become the King of Annan and the King of Jiaozhi. Now that we have separated them, maybe we will agree.
Now that Zhang Bingzhong is in the Ruan family's territory, the Ruan family is already in a low-level situation. I will definitely agree. At this time, it depends on whether Mrs. Zheng has the same hatred as the enemy."
Jin Hu took a long breath and said to Ma Guangyuan calmly: "Do you think Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Ruan are really true? Are they thinking about the Cochin country? Do you think they will put the unification of the Cochin country more important than their own interests?
To put it bluntly, these two families are just two warlords who only have their eyes on themselves. There is no such thing as family and country.
As long as they are given enough benefits, they can do anything."
Ma Guangyuan nodded and said, "Enter Jiaozhi. The military strategy was arranged by you. Lord Meng has always favored you and obeyed your advice. Now that you have implemented the military strategy to this extent, are you about to start your plan to split Jiaozhi?"
Jin Hu lit up a cigarette and took a puff and said: "As long as we have heavy troops staying in Jiaozhi, neither the Zheng family nor the Ruan family will be relieved. Only when we leave can the separatist plan be implemented.
This is why the imperial court gave us the order to capture Champa State.
What your Majesty wants is not an elephant. What your Majesty wants is Jiaocheng State. Of course, Champa State, a place that produces rice, is also there. Our important source of food cannot be ignored."
"We don't have His Majesty's enfeoffment edict. Even if we submit it to Yushan City now, the war will disappear."
"We can write two letters..."
As soon as Jin Hu finished speaking, Ma Guangyuan fell from the stool to the ground... his eyes were as big as walnuts.
"Fake the edict? Are you crazy?"
Jin Hu sighed and said: "I will be outside, and I will not accept your life! Besides, I think your majesty will definitely do it with his vast mind. I don’t care about this matter. Taking Jiaozhi is what your Majesty needs.”
Ma Guangyuan sneered: “I’m afraid that if Yushan’s decree comes down, you and I will be killed!”
Jin Hu bared his teeth and touched his neck and said, "It's really not a good idea. Beheading is very painful."
Hearing what Jin Hu said, Ma Guangyuan's pale face finally regained its rosiness. He stood up from the ground and said, "That's right. His Majesty has always been lenient. This is true. However, the matter of correcting the imperial edict is still open to the public. It's a big deal.
Even if His Majesty forgives us, do you think the Prime Minister's Office and the Supervision Department will let us go?
Zhang Guozhu, who is Han Lingshan?
Have any of these two been able to rub sand out of their eyes?"
Jin Hu Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and breathed green smoke: "But, such a good opportunity? It's so rare, Zhang Bingzhong is now harming the Ruan family, and the oppressed Ruan family can't breathe.
However, Zhang Bingzhong has no intention of staying in Jiaozhi. His purpose is to plunder. After the guy plunders enough military supplies, he might enter the Nanzhang Kingdom (Laos) or the Kingdom of Siam. No, Siam is too powerful, so he will definitely enter the Nanzhang Kingdom. Although it is poor, it is a country that can A place to settle down.
If I were Zhang Bingzhong, I would definitely enter the Nanzhang Kingdom and completely destroy this crumbling kingdom to replace it.
If I cannot get His Majesty's decree to appease Jiaozhi as soon as possible. The Zheng family, the Ruan family, and Zhang Bingzhong will be out of our control."
Ma Guangyuan said expressionlessly: "There is no room for negotiation on the imperial edict."
Jin Huzai. He stretched out on the stool and said, "Of course we won't make excuses. After all, our brothers' necks are too thin and cannot withstand Han Lingshan's knife. However, I think some people's necks are thick enough and can withstand it." "
Ma Guangyuan shook his head and said: "I don't want to be tainted by the imperial edict."
Jin Hu sighed and said: "It's troublesome, so I have to hand in this suggestion." Let’s see if our Meng’s neck is thick enough!”
