Chapter 504 Repeating Dongshengwei
The public executions caused extreme shock in Luzon, both at the convening meeting and the news spread.
At this time, some people remembered that the Spaniards and some local natives still owed tens of thousands of Chinese blood debts and were stained with the blood of Chinese people on their hands.
However, the Ming army attacked Luzon not only to seize the city and occupy land, but to take revenge.
Massacre? It does not exist. This is a just judgment, a fair judgment. It is natural to kill people.
The news spread very quickly and widely, and the vibration became increasingly large.
Ten days before the execution, Li Dan mobilized the Chinese to fuel the fire. Not only the people of Luzon knew about it, but the residents of other islands also heard the news.
Externally, the emperor needed to intimidate the Western Barbarians; internally, Li Dan also needed the surrender of the local chief. Moreover, in name, it was completely tenable.
As for Spain's revenge, the emperor was not very worried. South American colonies restrained most of Spain's troops. It was not something that the old Spain could do to mobilize a considerable naval and army to expedition to Asia.
Of course, the emperor also made sufficient preparations just in case. If the Spaniards dared to come, they would fail and suffer the most severe losses in Asia.
As for the overseas territory of the Ming Empire, Luzon is actually considered a real person. When the Spanish get the news and then summon enough ships and troops, Luzon can organize and train at least five or six thousand troops.
This is not considered the assistance of the regular army. With these five or six thousand flintlock guns and artillery and rocket troops, it is difficult for the Spaniards to win. Unless there are tens of thousands of troops, they have absolute superior forces.
If the Spaniards wanted to directly attack the territory of the Ming Dynasty, with the benefit of the host, the Ming navy and the huge number of fire ships that could sail near the sea, the Spaniards were most likely to be in danger of being wiped out by the entire army.
The emperor already knew about Spain's current strength. Otherwise, he would not have launched a brazen attack on Luzon and beheaded the Spanish.
Li Dan also knew about this. In order to make him feel at ease, the emperor would set up an intelligence agency in Luzon to realize intelligence sharing.
At the same time, the emperor also allowed Li Dan to immigrate from Borneo, with the number limit being within 20,000 yuan per year. After all, Li Dan worked hard to manage it, and it was a bit unreasonable not to give it to him at all.
As for Luzon's coastal defense, the emperor also ordered Shen Yourong to leave a squadron, which was not very large in scale, with only twenty or thirty warships.
But this is only in the short term. With the continuous expansion of the navy, Luzon will operate well and the permanent fleet will also expand.
In short, attacking Luzon is not a temporary impulse, but a long-planned and well-prepared action. It can be both able to conquer and occupy it.
The conquest of Luzon has been won, and the Spanish have even killed everyone, while the other prisoners have become coolies, waiting for Spain to pay for their ransom.
The emperor was still on the sea and he was not aware of this. He was always worried about the sand table every day. It was not because he was worried that he would not win, but because he was worried that the storm at sea would be unpredictable and that the navy would suffer unexpected losses.
But this is not all. The government affairs that the emperor has to deal with and other military operations are still being carried out in an orderly manner as planned.
One sea and one land, these two main actions this year. If Hudun Rabbit Expeditions West, there will be military deployments against him.
"History of Ming Dynasty": "The river is surrounded by three sides, so it is called "Hetao"." In other words, the geographical scope of "Hetao" basically refers to the area north of the Great Wall and south of the Yellow River.
At that time, the "Ningxia Wei" was east of Yinchuan, and the "Dongshengwei" was west of Tokto County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, which was this range.
"Front" usually refers to the boundary of the Yellow River from Tangkou to Urat Front Banner, and between the south of the Yellow River and the Great Wall; "Front" refers to the north of the Yellow River.
The battle to recover the previous trap can actually be regarded as the emperor's repeated "Dongshengwei" action.
You should know that the operations of Dongsheng and Ningxia can strategically echo the shortcomings of the Beihetao outpost. Cheng Zu cut off the two guards and four guards to abolish Dongsheng, and more considerations were to cut off the power of the King of Jin, which was a strategic mistake.
To repay the support of the three Guliangha guards for their support in the "Jingnan Campaign", the Ming Chengzu moved the Beiping Xingdusi, located in Daning, to Baoding.
Therefore, the defense between Liaodong, Xuanhua and Datong opened up a large gap, making Liaodong and Xuan's support difficult to echo.
Soon, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty moved Dongshengwei Kuang to Lulong County, Beizhi, and Dongshengyouwei moved to Zunhua County, Beizhi. Dongshengye was moved to Zunhua County, Beizhi. Dongshengye was in the middle, front and back three thousand households retreated to defend in Huairen County, Shanxi.
The abolition of the Daning Dusi and the internal migration of the Dongshengwei caused two major gaps in the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, making Kaiping an isolated island extending into the Mongolian Plateau, and was attacked on three sides. Finally, it also moved intravenously during the Xuande period.
The internal relocation of the three important towns of Daning, Dongsheng and Kaiping made the inner edge of the Ming Dynasty a frontier (position) and all the dangerous areas under control outside were lost.
The emperor would never be satisfied with the long-term confrontation with the northern nomads with the Great Wall as the line. The major disasters became more and more serious, and the invasion of the northern nomads was becoming increasingly possible.
Pushing the defense line northward, forming a buffer zone outside the Great Wall, and preventing nomadic people from invading the mainland is the first preventive step.
The key is that the front area can be cultivated and pastoral, and in the future, the emperor believed that it could be done well in the operation, thereby saving the cost of garrison.
At this time, Sun Chuanting had already stood in the old city of Dongshengwei, looking at the rushing Yellow River to the north.
The ancient city of Dongshengwei is also called "Huangcheng". The Zhenlu Acropolis, about 30 kilometers east of it, is called "Heicheng", and the Yunchuan Acropolis, which goes 30 kilometers east, is called "Red City". These are the acropolis built one after another in the early Ming Dynasty.
Faced with the Ming army armed to the teeth and the storm of the cavalry wall, the Mongols were defeated without any suspense and retreated northward.
The right-wing Mongolian tribes were so unbearable. Sun Chuanting shook his head and felt very moved.
Taking the city reward and living a comfortable life, the comfort accelerated the degeneration of the Mongolian tribes on the right wing. But their real enemy was not the Ming army, but the Hudun Rabbit who was about to expedition the west soon.
"Sir." An officer walked up to the city wall and bowed to Sun Chuanting to report, "Our army has all entered the city, and only one of the flying cavalry who is pursuing the enemy has not returned yet."
Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment and said, "Send five hundred cavalry to pick him up."
Sun Chuanting was still very confident about the combat effectiveness of the flying cavalry. In his battle with the Mongols, he also saw the deterioration of the Mongols.
