- 533 Resignation
The sigh uttered by Gao Mengji, who was far away in the cinema on the third floor of New Mart on Zhongnan Tianjin Street, was a ridiculous joke in the eyes of most people. It fully illustrates the ignorance and stupidity of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and by the way, it makes the Australian time-travelers' sense of psychological superiority even more overwhelming. But after thinking about it carefully, Gao Mengji's sigh had some flavor. The art of war talks about virtuality and reality, which is applicable to both ancient and modern times. Didn¡¯t you see that during the civil war, a few radio stations pretended to be the main force of the revolutionary ancestors, and then led hundreds of thousands of party-state troops around in the mountains like headless flies?
¡°If 3D imaging technology becomes more mature and information deception technology becomes more mature, it may not be impossible to use movies for war deception. It's a pity that the old man Gao Mengji was born at the wrong time. If he had been born five hundred years later, he might have been a super magician recorded in history. Enough to rival Gaspard Maskelyne who moved Alexandria during World War II.
Gao Mengji was born in the 16th century, and the time traveler came from the 21st century. There is no such precedent in these two eras, so in the hearts of the time traveler, Gao Mengji is a joke.
The movie is over. Ma Shiying, the chief minister of the Ming Empire, implicitly invites Shao Bei to accompany him because the recent confusing changes in the situation have fascinated the eyes of the chief minister. He desperately wanted to have an honest communication with Shao Bei, who had just celebrated his thirtieth birthday. In fact, if the Australian movie just now hadn't shocked Lao Ma too much, I'm afraid Lao Ma would have been eager to discuss it during the movie.
On the quiet street, carriages circled at a constant speed. The tall horse pulling the cart had shiny horseshoes nailed to its feet. Every time you put your foot down and step on the bluestone, there will be a crisp sound. The steel rim is surrounded by a solid layer of rubber. Walking on uneven streets, the two people sitting in the car still felt a little bumpy even if the springs and shock absorbers were fully loaded.
Outside the car window, two groups of Wu Yijun soldiers were trotting to follow, rifles slung on their shoulders, and the lanterns in their hands had long been replaced by Australian flashlights. A slight light penetrated the glass, making the old horse's shaking figure flicker in and out of sight.
"Zhang Xianzhong is dead" After a long time, Ma Shiying finally spoke. Regarding the death of the second gravedigger of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Shiying did not feel gloating or happy, but instead felt a sense of loss.
Because of the failure of the Yangzhou Battle, the dynamics of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in this time and space were greatly different. The invasion of Sichuan was originally supposed to be launched in November, but was advanced several months. The general leading the army also changed from He Luohui to Prince Rui Dorgon. This time the Manchus seemed determined. In addition to Dorgon's Two White Banners and the Green Camp in Shanshan and Shaanxi areas, even Wu Sangui was transferred from distant Liaodong.
The retaliatory actions of Jin Yiwei caused great trouble to the central system of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. But it¡¯s just a nuisance, the fundamental problem is there. Compared with Dorgon, Hauge is more youthful but less capable. In terms of strength and skill, Hauge was no match for his uncle who was forced away by him. So when the situation in the DPRK is complicated and a crisis arises. Hauge looked forward and backward, seeming to only see danger and not the slightest opportunity to seize power.
Bumubutai, who was a little out of place at first, quickly came out of his rage, dealt with it calmly, and then frequently summoned the Manchu and Han ministers. Either compromise, coerce, or win over. Before Hauge could make the final decision, Bu Mu Butai in the court judged with thunderous force that the rumors were Can Ming's claims and were intended to disrupt the Qing Dynasty's audio-visual experience, hoping to sit back and watch. Tiger head. In fact, Bumbutai didn't even figure out who spread the rumor. Even Hauge's Police Department knew nothing about it. Compared with Jin Yiwei, who had rich espionage experience for more than 200 years, the Police Department Everything is like a newborn baby, defenseless.
But Bumbutai believed that, and the court quickly issued a resolution to spread secret spies and hunt down those who spread rumors. For a time, the prison in Shuntian Mansion was overcrowded, and the executioner at Caishikou swung his knife until his muscles trembled. The common people in the capital were quickly suppressed by the bloody methods of the Qing Dynasty, and they refused to speak out against the rumors that had spread widely in advance. Whenever I heard someone mention it, my expression would change immediately, I would interrupt with a cough, or simply turn away. The exquisite erotic paintings were burned or buried at the bottom of the box. In just one month, the city of Beijing once again returned to its original appearance dull and dead.
Having dealt with internal matters, the Manchu Qing Dynasty quickly set its sights on distant Sichuan. As mentioned in the previous article, the Manchu Qing Dynasty today does not know how to produce at all, and is simply a robbery gang more absolute than the Third Reich. Once the war stops and the pace of victory stops, there is a danger of falling apart. The North has been in war for a long time, and only nine out of ten houses are empty. How can restoring production be achieved overnight? The Manchu Qing Dynasty needed victory to continue to inspire them, so that those Eight Banners nobles who were accustomed to rich clothes and fine food and became greedy for life and fear of death could continue to support the war; the Manchu Qing Dynasty needed thousands of miles of fertile land and millions of people to turn into blood-producing tools.?, a steady stream of blood transfusions for Beijing and the north; the Manchus needed salt, and the Manchus needed silk and tea Since the hard nut of Jiangnan cannot be taken away, the next choice is naturally Bashu. Only by conquering Bashu could the Manchu Qing Dynasty continue to stay in the Central Plains of the Han people.
Regarding Dorgon, everyone in the Qing Dynasty had complicated thoughts. They have become accustomed to the laws of the jungle, and are also afraid that the original Wolf King will be restored and a liquidation will follow, so they want Dorgon and Dorgon's two white flags to die. The more deaths the better, and the best is no death. But they also hope that Dorgon can win, and only by winning can they win Bashu.
Under this ambivalence, on the one hand, the supplies transported by the Qing Dynasty became less and less, so much so that Dorgon had to launch troops and plunder for a month in order to launch a war; on the other hand, the Manchu Qing took almost all the unstable Factors, such as the two remaining kings of Sanshun, and Wu Sangui's Guan Ning cavalry, were all sent to Hanzhong.
In an instant, Dorgon controlled nearly 100,000 troops.
After the turmoil in Beijing subsided, the Manchu and Qing court quickly issued a decree. Dorgon comforted Prince Rui and stated that the rumors were limited to wise men and had nothing to do with Prince Rui. Then he used countless gorgeous or harsh words to urge Dorgon to launch an attack immediately.
Sometimes I have to admit that the Manchu Qing Dynasty in this era is indeed full of talents. Dorgon's fighting ability is not necessarily that great, but his ability to command an army is extremely strong. After getting everything he wanted, Dorgon quickly set off and pounced on Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi Army.
History is always full of coincidences. This year, facing the attack from the Qing Dynasty and the Nanming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong, the Eighth King, did not know which nerve was twitching again. He actually removed his adopted son Li Dingguo at a key pass and replaced him with Liu Jinzhong, who was at both ends of the line. Then tragedy happened. Just like in history, Liu Jinzhong defected to Dorgon. Then he led the Manchu soldiers to break through the pass and make a surprise attack with light equipment.
Faced with this sudden attack, Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly responded, and then was surrounded by the superior Qing army, and died suddenly from three arrows in his body. With the death of their commander, the Great Western Army no longer had the courage to resist, and a tidal rout was inevitable.
The Daxi Dynasty fell, and its remnants fled southward under the leadership of Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, Feng Shuangli, and Liu Wenxiu. He fled to Guizhou. Now for the remnants of the Great Western Army, they are faced with a Hamlet-like choice, survival or death. He could not return to Sichuan, and he was besieged by the Ming army in Guizhou. After a fierce military meeting, the remaining troops made a difficult choice: to defect to Nanming.
The formal document requesting surrender has only arrived in Nanjing after traveling by boat and train. Shao Bei obviously knew the news earlier than the Nanming government. Although Chen Yu's overseas intelligence center did not extend its tentacles to Guizhou, as long as the news entered Huguang, under the temptation of huge food stamps, Nanming's petty officials were always willing to pass the news upwards, and they were slightly slow for a moment, so that Some guy passing by took a sneak peek. Then the news will be turned into radio waves an hour later and quickly transmitted to the Australian Embassy in Nanjing.
Shao Bei knew about it two days ago, but this result made him feel ridiculous. Why did Sun Kewang and the others surrender? According to the trajectory of Australian history, this group of people fought against both the Nanming and the Manchu Qing Dynasties, and they lasted until 1652. Then I felt that Nanming was weak and there was no danger of being annexed, or it was really time to run out of ammunition and food, so I chose to surrender. But it was only January 1646, and Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo had decided to surrender Perhaps it was because the Battle of Yangzhou not only frightened the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also frightened the Great Western Army, whose cause was rebellion? The details are unknown. But for sure, it¡¯s good news¡ªthe pros outweigh the cons, so it¡¯s good news.
"I received this letter in the morning." Ma Shiying hesitated and handed over the letter asking for surrender.
Shao Bei came over and watched calmly with the small flashlight he carried. In less than half a minute, he looked at it briefly, then raised his head and looked at Ma Shiying.
"There are a lot of disputes between the government and the public about the surrender." Ma Shiying said carefully: "The opponents are worried about only two things First, the traitor is capricious. If you surrender today, you will not rebel again in the future. Second, the terms of surrender. There are too many frameworks. If you follow them all, I am afraid that one more Ming Dynasty will listen to the tune and not listen to the vassal towns declared. It is unwise to put out fires with oil and thieves with food and resources."
??Sighed: "The differences are too big, even I can't make a decision for a while. So this time, I would like to listen to Minister Shao and the advice of Australia's allies." Ma Shiying's tone was slightly bitter. As the actual decision-maker of the Ming Dynasty, he could not resolve such a matter without hesitation. No matter how good-tempered a person was, it would be difficult for him to accept it. But he had to accept that he, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, had a capable person on his head.The Supreme Emperor-Australia, who instantly plunged himself and the Ming Dynasty into a place of no return.
??The Ming Dynasty needs Australia¡¯s financial support, otherwise it will go bankrupt; the Ming Dynasty needs Australia¡¯s weapon support, otherwise it will become a kingdom; until the Ming Dynasty is completely powerful, it cannot escape the influence of the Australians or even control.
Ma Shiying doesn¡¯t know, and doesn¡¯t want to know, where the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Australia will eventually go, and when the Ming Dynasty will get rid of this constraint. He only knows that as the current chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, he has only one responsibility - to use every possible means to continue the Ming Dynasty and even revive it. As for the future, people in the future will naturally consider it.
"The advantages outweigh the disadvantages." Shao Bei said the result of two days of consideration.
"Howeveryou have to be careful about those you are worried about. I'm just afraid that a thief's nature is hard to change" Ma Shiying said with a frown.
Shao Bei flicked his fingers, looked at Ma Shiying and said: "The Whampoa Military Academy has been established."
The Whampoa Military Academy was established a long time ago and is divided into several colleges. The Australian Marine Corps and the Army mobilized capable officers to form an instructor group, and they trained compatriots from the Ming Dynasty who were admitted to Songjiang Prefecture all day long. But this is obviously a long process. It is obvious that most Australian officers only know simplified Chinese characters, so their first task is to teach Ming Dynasty students to learn simplified Chinese characters. After that, there are Arabic numerals, mathematics, geometry In addition to daily drills during the one-year preparatory period, the students will spend the rest of their time learning basic subjects that seem to have nothing to do with the military.
The Huangpu Military Academy has just been established, because it was not until last month that the school site was completed on the bank of the Huangpu River. Nearly two thousand students and instructors braved the wind and snow to move to the new school site, and then held a grand but not grand opening ceremony. Perhaps out of prank mentality, perhaps out of respect for the ancestors, just like the gate of the military academy in Guangzhou in later generations, there is a couplet hanging on the door: If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, please go another way. Don't enter this door if you are greedy for life or afraid of death.
?????????????? Anyone who reads and knows how to read and write, looking at the iron hook strokes and the bright red characters, will always be shocked and palpitated, and the blood will surge up. The busy Ma Shiying even attended the ceremony and took up the position of vice principal.
Now Shao Bei mentions the irrelevant Whampoa Military Academy, what does this mean?
Seeing Ma Shiying's doubts, Shao Bei organized his words and said: "Whampoa Military Academy will definitely be the cradle of Ming Dynasty officers in the future. They will rely on their own qualities to become the backbone of the Ming army. I believe that the chief assistant has also seen the future development of the Ming army." The direction is to use firearms. So Whampoa Military Academy is very important. As the Ming Army weaponizes, more and more students will enroll, and more former Ming Army generals will enter for further studies as long as they don't want to be eliminated."
A smart person can figure it out. Ma Shiying instantly clarified the context Through the weaponization, the generals of the Daxi Army who had surrendered were sent to the military academy for transformation and study. They studied for three to five years. When they came out, the original troops had long been changed by Ma Shiying's sand. Then break them up and distribute them separately In a few years, the situation of warlord separatism can be eliminated invisible!
Ma Shiying took a breath of air-conditioning unconsciously. Hidden knives hurt, so the person who gets the knives will often react. It's obvious that knives hurt even more, but most of the time those who get knives can only grit their teeth and endure it. It's no wonder that the young man in front of him is in a high position at such a young age. Even those sophisticated politicians can't match his scheming skills.
"Congratulations, Minister Shao." After solving a difficult problem, Lao Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome, Mr. Chief Assistant." Shao Bei smiled, not feeling the slightest bit ashamed of having plagiarized the conspiracy of future principals.
After a pause, Ma Shiying raised the second doubt about today's meeting: "The day before yesterday, Supervisor Sun reported that the Guangwu Army was ready. Eight thousand soldiers, twenty cannonsall are Australian firearms."
Although Ma Shiying was careful when speaking, she still felt unhappy. But this was polite enough. If it were Shi Kefa, he would have pointed at Shao Bei's nose and questioned him.
In the view of the scholar-bureaucrats in Nanming, since Australia had an alliance with the imperial court first, all affairs in the Ming Dynasty must first go through the imperial court, no matter how big or small. The Australians openly sold a large amount of arms to Sun Chuanting without even informing them. How could this be so unkind? That's all. Sun Chuanting's Guangwu Army suddenly had 8,000 men and guns, which was almost the same size as Wu Yi's Army before expansion. Sun Chuanting was highly regarded by the people in the world and would never do anything to disgrace the Ming Dynasty. But there is no guarantee that he will not make a move to sway the emperor. The imperial court belonged to Ma Shiying, but Ma Shiying was not the imperial court.
What¡¯s even more worrisome is that once this hole is opened, the local governor will buy Australian arms and train new troops for various reasons. In the long run, there will definitely be a situation of separatist feudal towns.
Shao Bei not only knew about Sun Chuanting's formation of the Guangwu Army, but also strongly supported it. Even in the Guangwu ArmyThe instructors are all elites from the Marine Corps. Australia had planned Sun Chuanting's move many years ago. I won¡¯t give up because of Ma Shiying¡¯s cooperation. Because from Australia's perspective, the best way to safeguard Australia's interests is not to expect Ma Shiying's cooperative attitude from beginning to end, but not to put eggs in one basket.
As a junior diplomat, Shao Bei knows what can and cannot be said. So he frowned and explained: "Master Chief Assistant, there is a saying in Australia, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are disputes The Republic of Australia is a country, but it is not monolithic within it. Some people think that supporting Lord Chief Assistant, Naturally, there are people who are willing to support Governor Sun. There are certain things that we cannot stop."
Ma Shiying was stunned. It turns out Australia also has party strife.
"But I don't think Mr. Chief Assistant should mind. Because as the center, Mr. Chief Assistant controls the four provinces, has the most troops, the most taxes, and has a righteous name" Shao Bei stopped talking.
Ma Shiying quickly realized what was left of Shao Bei's sentence: If you lose in this way, why do you still need Australia to support you, a loser?
Tonight is destined to be an uneventful night. While Ma Shiying is deep in thought, Shao Bei throws out another shocking news.
"I will leave for Australia in four days It is estimated that we will not meet again for a long time." After Ma Shiying cast a searching look, Shao Bei said with a smile: "The new successor has not been decided yet, but please Sir, the First Assistant can rest assured that the successor will maintain the good relationship established between Australia and Ming Dynasty. And I am still the Minister of Foreign Affairs. When necessary, the First Assistant can contact me through the embassy¡¯s radio.¡±
