Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

From the current point of view, the reason why the war situation in Guizhou has been in a stalemate.

One is because the Ming army's main troop deployment direction is in the southeast rather than the southwest.

Since the Ming army's elite troops were mainly concentrated in the southeast, the southwest was inevitably weaker.

The second reason is that the terrain in Guizhou is really difficult.

The terrain of F4 in the southwest is typical of high mountains and dense forests, hot and humid, and plagued by miasma. Fighting in such terrain is limited by difficulties in logistical supply, and it is difficult for the Ming army's artillery groups to exert their power.

So that the Qing army could take advantage of the terrain to build fortifications.

And the Ming army had nothing to do with them.

The third reason is that the ethnic composition in Guizhou is complex and the chieftains of various minority groups are powerful.

Although these people did not take a clear-cut stand with the Qing court, they did not stand with the Ming Dynasty either.

The result is that when the Ming Dynasty deploys troops against Guizhou, it must be prepared in advance to guard against possible backstabbing by the chieftains.

As a result, the Ming army's few troops in Guizhou had to be dispersed and deployed, so naturally they were unable to form an overwhelming advantage over the Qing army.

It is precisely because of these three points that the Ming army's current battle situation in Guizhou has reached a stalemate.

Zhu Jing'an knew that if he wanted to break the deadlock in Guizhou, he had to start from these three aspects.

The first is the direction of the Ming army's use of troops. There is no way to change this.

Judging from the grand strategy formulated by Zhu Jing'an, the most important thing for the Ming Dynasty at present is to first capture the entire southeastern financial and taxation area, and then expand the Ming Dynasty's war potential.

No matter how important Guizhou is, it is not as important as the southeast.

As long as Zhu Jing'an was in his right mind, it would be impossible for him to transfer the Ming army's heavy military group in the southeast to Guizhou to attack Manqing in the ravine.

If he really did this, Qianlong would probably die of joy.

The second is Guizhou’s climate and terrain!

This is an unsolvable problem. Let alone this era, even in later generations, the terrain of Southwest F4 will still be the same.

What large-scale infrastructure can change is transportation conditions, not topography and climate.

Besides, Ming Dynasty is not able to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the southwest now...

In other words, if Zhu Jing'an wants to break the current deadlock in Guizhou, all he can do is to use his brains on the chieftain Shaomin.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Jing'an took out another blank piece of rice paper and started writing.

"Order the Ministry of Rites and the Lifan Academy to select relevant officials and send them to Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan and other places to contact the local chieftains and use heavy profits to drive the chieftains to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and cooperate with us in the Ming Dynasty..."

How to put it, although from a historical perspective, the policy of reforming the native land and returning it to the local people in the southwest implemented by Qianlong and his father Yongzheng was the general trend and was in line with the trend and direction of historical development.

However, if you look at it from the toast's perspective, it's another story.

This is not a return to the original land, this is clearly a plot by the Qing Dynasty to seize the family property inherited by the chieftains for hundreds of thousands of years!

How can this be tolerated?

Therefore, the current local chieftains actually do not have much favorable impression of the Manchu Qing court.

In comparison, they still prefer Daming!

Although in the pre-Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty also carried out reforms, but the intensity was not as great as that of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

The pressure faced by the chieftains was much less than it is now.

This is also the reason why during the Qing Dynasty, local chieftains often caused chaos.

In the final analysis, it is actually about "reforming the land and returning it to the mainstream"!

The most typical example is the chieftain rebellion in Jinchuan and Jinchuan.

Although the trigger for the Battle of Jinchuan and Jinchuan was the internal fighting among the chieftains, things changed after the Qing court entered the scene.

An internal fight between the chieftains turned into a war between the Qing court and the chieftains.

The reason why those chieftains united around the two emerging leaders, Jinchuan and Jinchuan, and fought against the Manchus twice, to put it bluntly, was actually based on "reforming the soil and returning to the current situation."

Therefore, Zhu Jing'an's current idea is that the Ming Dynasty can use the abolition of the policy of returning natives to the locals and promise that local chieftains will still be autonomous as a condition, deceiving local chieftains to contribute money and efforts to help the Ming Dynasty deal with the Manchus.

Although Zhu Jing'an's move is blatantly reversing the course of history!

However, when emergencies arise, follow the authority!

For Ming Dynasty now, the top priority is to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Except for fighting against the Qing Dynasty, all other matters can be discussed.

As long as he can overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Jing'an has enough means to disintegrate and deal with those chieftains.

Besides, things that are promised don’t necessarily have to be fulfilled.

As a qualified remnant of feudalism and a qualified ruler of a feudal dynasty, for Zhu Jing'an, breaking promises and burning bridges are his necessary skills, okay?

The most important thing is to trick the chieftain into giving money and effort to help the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Qing Dynasty. Let’s talk about the rest later!

Zhu Jing'an finalized the matter and put down the brush in his hand. Just as he was about to stretch, there was a knock on the door of his study room from outside.

Zhu Jing'an asked.

"Who is it?" After his words fell, a delicate and weak voice sounded outside the study.

"Your Highness, I have a yellow body and wish to see you."

Hearing this, Zhu Jing'an nodded and said.

"come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creak and the door was pushed open from the outside.

Huang Yingying is wearing a bright red skirt. The skirt is dotted with several fine southern beads and embroidered with lifelike cranes.

The tulle at the neckline of the skirt reflects Huang Yingying's slender neck.

Women in this era are still relatively conservative. The collars of their clothes will expose their necks at most, and their collarbones and big white buns will definitely not be exposed at all.

Zhu Jing'an glanced at Huang Yingying, picked up a military newspaper again and read it. While reading, he asked.

"Yingying, why are you here?"

As he spoke, Zhu Jing'an's throat felt a little itchy and he couldn't help but cough and clear his throat.

The weather has gotten noticeably warmer recently, so Zhu Jing'an wore thin clothes, and then he occasionally felt cold.

Fortunately, he exercised regularly and his physical condition was pretty good. He was almost healed after a good sleep.

I still have some coughing, but it's not a big problem.

Huang Yingying smiled slightly, walked into Zhu Jing'an's study, and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, haven't you been feeling cold and coughing recently?"

"I made a bowl of white fungus, wolfberry and snow pear soup for your highness to clear your throat and moisturize your lungs, and brought it to your highness to try."

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, his eyes brightened up and he nodded slightly.

"Have a heart!"

Zhu Jing'an now has a high and powerful position, and there is no shortage of people around him to flatter him.

However, outsiders are outsiders, and the people beside you are the people beside you.

The two are not the same thing!

Huang Yingying could remember that Zhu Jing'an was feeling unwell recently and could stay up late to help him make soup, which was very useful to Zhu Jing'an.

Perhaps because they are younger, He Yuxiu and Zeng Yuanyuan could not have imagined this!

Although the two of them are very obedient and sensible, in terms of caring, they are not as good as Huang Yingying, a businessman's daughter who has been trained to serve people since she was a child.

As for Liu Ruyan and Huang Cai'er, although the two people who were born in Qinhuaihe are also very smart and smart, they have bad backgrounds.

At best, Zhu Jing'an would keep them by his side as concubines, and it was impossible to give them status.

In comparison, Huang Yingying really has a great advantage now in Zhu Jing'an's dispute over his wife.

It really goes with that saying, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach.

Huang Yingying has really grabbed Zhu Jing'an's stomach now!

Even if she can't be a queen in the future, she will still be a noble concubine.

The reason why he said this was because Zhu Jing'an himself had not made up his mind about who to choose as his legal wife.

His idea is that whichever of his women gets pregnant first will be crowned his crown princess.

The purpose is to try to make his legitimate son and eldest son the same person, so as to avoid any trouble within the Ming Dynasty due to the issue of throne succession in the future.

Zhu Jing'an knew that at this stage of world history, productivity and social organizational structure were on the verge of undergoing major changes.

At this time, the feudal imperial power had actually reached its end.

It won’t be glorious for many more years!

In order to prevent future generations from being guillotined, the Ming Dynasty will definitely develop in the direction of a constitutional monarchy in the future.

There is a high possibility that the emperor will become a mascot with limited power, rather than continue to be the arrogant and arrogant person who sticks to his word.

Power or life, one must be given up!

Therefore, in his view, his successor does not necessarily have to be outstanding, just a middle-aged person.

Rather than electing a good successor, he hoped that the succession of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty could be smooth and orderly.

In this case, it will be more in line with the development direction of constitutional monarchy. (End of chapter)
