Chapter 265 Delegation of power
"To be honest, the six towns in Yufan have all gone north to Lavag." Liu Yu looked at Talu and said.
Yufan Six Towns are an army composed of local Yiluo people.
The Yiluo people, who are also farming nations, have more common ground with the Ming soldiers.
Therefore, after accepting Tagalu and others surrendering, in order to control Tagalu, the Ming army adopted the policy of using barbarians to control barbarians and formed the Imperial Town.
However, unlike the Tagalu people's Xiaoyong Town has been at the forefront of the Daming border and fighting with major French states, Yufan Town actually only undertakes some second-line defense responsibilities.
Therefore, both the quality of the troops and the configuration of weapons are far inferior to the strong town of the Ming army.
However, the system of unity of soldiers and farmers has brought the troops of the six towns of Yufan to an astonishingly more than 5,000.
It far exceeded the forces of other Ming army towns.
"How many troops can General Talu send to support the Ming Dynasty's expedition?" Liu Yu said with a smile.
Looking at Wuda with a smile beside Liu Yu, Talu couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"The army of the brave warriors can reach 3,000, and all of them can go north to expedition the Tartar Qing Dynasty." Talu said.
"I don't need all the brave soldiers to go north. You also need to maintain stability on the southern border." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"The town of Yongqian brought by General Talu is stationed nearby in Lavag. In addition, the town of Yongle, which is stationed in Tolaugga and the town of Yangyou, which is guarding the northeastern border, will also depart to Lavag and be under the command of General Wang Tong." Liu Yu said.
Talu immediately fell silent when he heard this.
In the whole three towns, Liu Yu actually asked for the military power of the three towns in one sentence.
Talu was a little hesitant. Is it really worth using nearly two thousand troops from three towns to exchange for a general position?
"I will obey the orders at the end." Talu said.
After taking the letter of appointment handed over by Wuda, Talu left without saying a word.
"Governor General, Talu is ambitious. This time, he finally let Talu enter the Lavag King City. Why did he let Talu return to Mingcheng? He even granted him the rank of general and handed over Mingcheng to him." Seeing Talu walk out of the official hall, Wuda looked at Liu Yu in confusion and asked.
Faced with Wuda's confusion, Liu Yu just smiled.
"The brave three towns have two thousand troops, and their soldiers are fierce. Ordinary generals may not be able to control them. Why don't he directly command the three towns and one road to the north to expedition the Qing Dynasty? In this way, one more powerful general can be added to the Ming Dynasty during the expedition, and can also relieve my Ming Dynasty's worries." A Ming general also spoke.
"Are you worried about it? Why do you think that the other person is the biggest concern of my Ming court?" Liu Yu sneered.
"Manila in the south constantly sends privateers to plunder our Ming merchant ships, and Banggui's Bolu is ready to move." Liu Yu looked at the Luzon map and said coldly.
"Do you think the southern border of the Ming court is really peaceful?" Liu Yu shouted coldly.
Liu Yu naturally knew that retaining the Lu in Lavague this time was undoubtedly a move to let the tiger return to the mountain.
But at the moment, the Ming court can only do this.
In the future, when expeditions to the Tartar Qing Dynasty, relying on the military strength on Luzon Island, all of them must be devoted to the expedition.
This will inevitably lead to a vacuity of troops on the southern border.
By then, Manila will definitely face the overall situation northward.
Therefore, Liu Yu must stay at a fierce general on the southern border.
Liu Quan was in charge of Weigan for many years and has been guarding the rear of the Ming Dynasty.
It shocked Manila and various Turkish tribes on Luzon.
But Liu Quan was a Han Chinese after all, and it was impossible for him to get along with the various national chiefs on Luzon Island.
However, Talu, as the leader of the Tagalu people, could influence a large area of local chiefs in central Luzon.
This shows his extraordinaryness from the fact that he was able to pull up a fierce foreign soldier of thousands of people in a short period of time.
Therefore, the Ming court appointed Talu as the general of Mingcheng and gave Talu full authority to manage the tribes in the Mingcheng area.
In fact, it is to gather all the indigenous tribes in central Luzon to form a powerful force.
Of course, doing so is undoubtedly a double-edged sword.
If you use this sharp blade well, you can point your sword to Manila.
The Spaniards who resisted Manila went north.
But if it is not used properly, it is very likely to cause rebellion, and the French army will eventually go north and cause irreparable consequences.
But after thinking about it, Liu Yusi finally decided to gamble.
Because the other fortune may not necessarily rebel, but the Spanish will definitely fight north.
The Ming court, which was expeditioning the Tartar Qing Dynasty, was absolutely unable to resist the Spanish counterattack.
This is also the result of countless deductions by senior officials of the Ming court.
Therefore, establishing a powerful foreign power on the border became the helpless choice of the Ming court.
In fact, Manila did this earlier than the Ming court.
As early as shortly after the Ming court occupied Lavague, Governor Juan granted Bolu the right to manage the precious towns of the northern states.
In an attempt to use the Tagalu people to stop the Ming army from moving south.
The Ming court's move is undoubtedly a replication of Manila's approach.
This also made the brothers, Bolu, become the most popular figures on Luzon Island.
Of course, the two brothers' opposition to enemies and their attacks and killing each other also became a game between the Ming Dynasty and Manila.
Liu Yu trusted other people's fortune to a large extent, but it was actually because of the hatred between Bo Lu and other people's fortune.
As long as Juan supports Bolu, then he will never betray the Ming court and turn to the Spanish. The two have blood feuds, and they have even reached the point of being irreconcilable.
Therefore, during these days, the Ming court continued to transfusion blood for the natives of the tribes led by the Norse, so that the King of Dangzhen could conquer the four directions and continuously reclaim the southern land for the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, firearms and silver were used to secretly control the development of the brave town, so that the other fortune could never destroy the Bolu of the country.
On this point, the Ming court and Manila cooperated quite well.
Whenever Talu wants to go south on a large scale to attack Banggui.
The Ming court would always cut off the supply of grain and grass and silver in Xiaoyong Town for various reasons.
Similarly, whenever Banggui's Bolu wants to go north, the Manila authorities will use various means to prevent Bolu from going north.
Because neither Liu Yu nor Juan wanted to see which of these brothers dominate, they became the third force on Luzon Island.
Therefore, the attack from Mingcheng to Banggui during this period is actually strictly considered a proxy war between the Ming court and Manila.
But this time, Liu Yu planned to play a big game.
All the fan clubs and land in Mingcheng area were handed over to the management of the two Lu.
This means that Talu will receive taxes from more than 20 foreign clubs near Mingcheng, as well as land and population, and completely have the chips to compete with Banggui's Bolu.
In exchange, the Lord handed over the three brave towns who could conquer and fight to the Ming court.
At the same time, all the Ming army troops stationed in the Mingcheng area can be transferred north.
As a result, the Ming army added another elite army of 3,000 people.
"What if Talu really rebelled?" Uda asked again.
