Come to Daming with military supplies

As more Han people entered the Grassland Primordial City, and these Han people were sent there after being trained by Chixian City, spies from the northern and southern Mings went there one after another, using various means to extract information from these populations. , Yang Chendong is the leader of the mercenary army, and the fact that Chixian City is his base camp is basically known throughout the world.

This time, Yang Chendong took the initiative to take the Phnom Penh Dynasty to operate, which made the northern and southern Mings feel a strong crisis, so that they also followed his example and took the initiative to start the expansion journey.For example, Nanming sent a large army to approach Minzhuang King Zhu Huixun's sphere of influence, and Beiming also began to mobilize large troops to Datong Mansion and Xuan Mansion, and wanted to attack the leader of Wala in the Hetao area first.

As a result, the situation suddenly became tense.Because of this, Yang Chendong gave an order to Humang Army Commander in Shicheng, telling them to keep an eye on Beiming's every move. Once they find out that they have bad intentions, don't be soft-hearted and don't be afraid. The enemy will fight well if they come over. Just clean them up.

While Shicheng was well defended, Yang Chendong also ordered Vietnam Provincial General Hong Jin to send troops to Langshan to show his presence under the eyes of the forces of Beiming and Minzhuang King Zhu Huixun, which can be regarded as a warning from the side. Both sides, be careful of the existence of this fisherman.

From the original point of view, Yang Chendong does not want to see Nanming unify the south now, a strong and complete Nanming is not what Yang Chendong wants to see now.What he wants to see is a Nanming who has serious internal friction, which will play a better role in promoting his future entry there.

No matter how chaotic the records of the bureau outside are, Yang Chendong's eyes are still on the newly established Cambodia Province. At that time, the 34 people who had been prepared before also went down the Mekong River.

Among the 34 people, there are Han Chinese in Chixian City, Mongolians in Shicheng City, and foreigners from Laos and Vietnam. Yang Chendong adopted the method of mixing sand to reduce the proportion of original residents.It's just that facing Cambodia with a population of 400 million, this area of ​​more than 30 people can't solve any fundamental problems, and this is what worries him the most recently.

Sun Xiaoguang, one of the cadres that Yu Qian, the lord of Chixian City, valued very much. When he was less than 40 years old, he was found to have the ability to manage and see the overall situation, and he began to be reused. He participated in many constructions of Chixian City. Once Yang Chendong asked Yu Qian for someone, he was entrusted with important positions and became the first governor of Cambodia Province.

At this time, he was standing in the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh City, reporting to Yang Chendong about his work and some difficulties he encountered now.

"Governor Sun, it is enough to leave a quarter of the palace as a place for me to work here in the future. You can transform the rest of the place into a commercial street. Compared with the special geographical location of Cambodia Province, this place will become It is an important cornerstone of sea route business, if it is done well, the business here is still promising, and this can also make this place a tax-generating place, you must grasp it well." Looking at Sun Xiaoguang, Yang Chendong gave advice based on local conditions.

"Yes, Master Six, Xiaoguang understands." Sun Xiaoguang replied in a deep voice.Although in terms of age, he is more than one round older than Yang Chendong, but this does not prevent him from admiring the Sixth Young Master. Perhaps there is no one in Chixian City who disrespects and disrespects the Sixth Young Master who has brought them everything today.

"Compared to Laos and Vietnam provinces, Cambodia's territory is not very large, and it should be better managed. I see your performance. By the way, if you have any difficulties, you can bring them up, and I will help if I can solve them You solve it." Yang Chendong spoke again, this time he saw Sun Xiaoguang not only to encourage him at work, but also to help him solve practical problems.

Everything has been prepared. It is said that Sun Xiaoguang only needs to develop slowly according to everything that has been formulated. Changes and gains are also a matter of time.But even if he had the opportunity to make a request, he would not miss it, "Sixth young master, if possible, can some of the people here be moved away? As you said just now, Cambodia is not a big land, but it has a large population. Facing such a large population base, the land is simply not enough according to the size stipulated before, so everyone can’t go into business. Although it is said that some factories will be built here in the future, after all, it still takes time, but this period There will be many people who will have nothing to do in a short period of time, and I worry that it will take a long time... ".

"Tell me, how many people do you think is appropriate to relocate?" Yang Chendong waited for Sun Xiaoguang to report the data, and pointed to the core of the problem when he spoke.

"Half, if half of the population can be relocated, I can guarantee that everyone here has something to do, the situation will be completely stable, and the future development speed will also show a good situation." After finally catching the opportunity, Sun Xiaoguang opened his mouth like a lion , 200 million people will be migrated with just one mouth.

"200 million?" Yang Chendong didn't expect that Sun Xiaoguang's request would be so high, but thought that he was also for work, so he didn't refuse, but quickly nodded and said: "Okay, let me figure out a way for this matter. "

Originally, he wanted to haggle over the price, but he didn't expect the sixth young master to agree. Sun Xiaoguang was very happy, and nodded his thanks repeatedly.

"You don't have to thank me, you are doing this to do a good job. I can find a way to move you out for 200 million yuan, but you have to remember that once the place is restored to its original state, there will still be outsiders who will move in. At that time You are not allowed to talk about conditions or difficulties." Yang Chendong gave a vaccination in advance.

"Don't worry, Sixth Young Master, I know." Sun Xiaoguang stood at attention as a promise.

Now that Cambodia is just established, it needs the help of others. When they grow stronger, they will naturally help other regions. Sun Xiaoguang is very clear about this.

Not long after, Sun Xiaoguang left happily, leaving Yang Chendong standing there looking at the map, frowning.

Looking at his current power, it goes without saying that Chixian City is where the Han people live. People from Cambodian provinces are not eligible to go there, so they can be excluded; Shicheng has the smallest population, about 20. However, there are not rich resources there, and self-sufficiency is very difficult, so it is impossible to send a large number of people there; Vietnam Province has a population of 300 million, and it is not impossible to accommodate more people, but it will only increase the burden there; Laos The same is true for the province, with a population of 300 million, which also needs to be developed and cannot absorb more people.

Since these forces are not good enough, then the 200 million people Sun Xiaoguang proposed to relocate cannot be thrown into the sea.Wait, in the sea, in the sea... A thought flashed across Yang Chendong's mind, and then his eyes fell on the sea area, and layers of thoughts formed in his mind for several breaths of time. Fist marked the location on the map as Luzon Island, and there was a smile in his eyes.

In ancient times, Luzon Island was a small country called Luzon.Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Chinese merchant ships have often come here for trade.It is called "Little Luzon" in ancient Chinese books. There are special records in "East and West Foreign Studies" and "Ming History · Foreign Biographies".In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1405), Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, commanded a huge fleet to Luzon. According to the edict of Emperor Yongle, Xu Chailao, the leader of overseas Chinese in Jinjiang, was appointed as the governor of Luzon to take over the political, economic, military and cultural power of the country. In office for 20 years (1405-1424).During this period, Xu Chai Lao spared no effort to promote the Chinese national culture, implemented the rule of Confucianism, etiquette and benevolence, spread the advanced technology of agriculture, fishery, industry and commerce in southern Fujian, and vigorously developed shipbuilding, textile, pottery, and tea planting industries, contributing to the social stability and economic and trade development of Luzon. , The prosperity of literature and art has made outstanding contributions.

Today, Luzon Island is considered one of the vassal states of Ming Dynasty.

Still the same sentence, after clearly dividing the north and the south, the strength has been greatly reduced, and the sea has been banned for many years, and the original deterrent to Luzon Island has long been lost. This place has become an isolated place, so why not occupy this place for yourself? What do you use?

In fact, in 1450, the Arab businessman Said Abu Bakr had already established an Islamic regime in the southern part of Luzon Island, which will be called the Philippines in future history.Now they are only establishing their own forces on the southern islands, and once they gain a firm foothold, even if they don't take Luzon Island themselves, other forces will also be tempted. Even so, why should he be polite? ?

The only thing he needs to worry about is whether the news of the occupation of Luzon Island will affect the current relationship between the two sides once it is spread back to the North and South Ming Dynasty.After all, Luzon Island is not far from Daming, and the previous governors were all appointed by Daming. If the news of the mercenary occupation of this place spreads back, some ministers will definitely raise doubts and cause trouble.

Yang Chendong is not afraid of trouble, but it is always a good thing to cause less trouble. "Yang Er, I remember that we seem to have seized [-] large and medium-sized Spanish warships, right?" Yang Chendong suddenly thought of something again, and asked Yang Er who was standing beside him.

"Yes, young master. Those warships are quite different from our warships, and they have been sent to the sea shipyard in Chixian City for research." Yang Er didn't know why, but he answered truthfully.

"Very good, then, immediately send a telegram to Commander Kaohsiung, saying that I want to see him and ask him to come quickly." Yang Chendong nodded.Learning from each other's strengths is what he taught the "scientific and technical personnel" in Chixian City. He was very pleased that they could combine it with reality.Of course, what he was more happy about was the great use these twenty warships would bring him.

Yang Er sent out the telegram, and three days later, Kaohsiung Army Commander rushed all the way from the sea to Kampot port, and then rode all the way to the Cambodian royal palace, where he met Yang Chendong.

Chapter 931 Renamed Five-Star Army

As soon as the two parties met, Yang Chendong pointed to the Luzon Island area on the sand table and asked Kaohsiung, "How is it? Do you have the confidence to eat this place in one bite?"

Kaohsiung, who looked at the sand table, had a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Luzon Island?"

"Yes, it's Luzon Island." Yang Chendong nodded in tacit agreement.

Kaohsiung did not answer right away, but thought for a moment in his mind before replying: "Sixth young master, our people have been on this island more than once, and they are very clear about some of the conditions inside. Very bad, there is no problem in taking them down. But there are mostly Han people there, and the relationship with Daming is very close, if they are moved, I am afraid..."

Kaohsiung did not continue to say the following words, but the meaning is already very clear. It is whether the movement of Luzon Island will arouse the dissatisfaction of the northern and southern Ming Dynasty. If the relationship is froze, I'm afraid there will be no good for everyone.

"It's okay, now and then, our current strength is not good enough to launch an offensive against Nanbeiming, but some peripheral forces can still be swept away. Besides, this time we don't have to play the banner of mercenaries. You know that the Third Division seized twenty Spanish ships, right?"

Yang Chendong just mentioned it a little bit, and Kaohsiung immediately understood the meaning of it, and immediately said: "The sixth young master wants to arrange for them to attack Luzon Island? Oh, my subordinates understand, please don't worry, the sixth young master, I will go there right away." Prepare, make sure you don't let anyone know, that's what we mean."

"Hehe, good. Commander Gao, this time we have packed up the Spanish sea ships. I believe they will send people here in a short time. In addition, the Portuguese sea ships are still wandering in this area, no matter how good it is." What's more, this young master never thought of sharing with them, and even one day when the conditions permit, we will fight out to occupy more places, so the construction of the navy has already Time waits for no one, just one army is no longer enough."

"Sixth Young Master, do you want to form an army?" Kaohsiung was so clever that he immediately thought of the meaning implied in these words.

"Yes. Another army will be formed next, but more armies will be formed in the future. In the future, several armies will be combined to form a corps. There is a long way to go. You, you must also do your best. Prepare for the heavy burden, after taking Luzon this time, the naval command will be established, and you will be the first deputy commander at that time." Yang Chendong patted Kaohsiung on the shoulder, this person works steadily and cares about the overall situation. Strong outlook, good command ability, is a person who can bear heavy burdens.

Hearing this grand plan, Kaohsiung just felt his blood boil for a while, and immediately stood at attention and said, "Don't worry, Sixth Young Master, I will go back to prepare immediately. At the same time, the selection of naval soldiers will be carried out in Chixian City. In fact, such The work we have been doing is only because of the limited supply of troops needed, and there is no fanfare, but it is not a problem to form an army in a short period of time."

"Very good. At least the candidate for the commander of the Second Army, you can report to me in the name of the Navy Command." Yang Chendong went ahead and put the task of forming the Second Sea Army on the agenda.In Yang Chendong's view, it is no longer enough to expand its strength on land. In addition, the eastern world has been exposed and will face various emergencies and even provocative actions at any time. The expansion of the navy is also a must.

After Kaohsiung left, just ten days later, ten warships carrying the national flag composed of three parallel rectangles of red, yellow and red sailed on the sea, heading straight for Luzon Island.It seems that this is just a simple voyage, but no one knows that all the officers and soldiers of the First Hai Division are curled up on these ten large ships, giving people a very crowded feeling.

This time it was the First Division of the Sea who received the task, which is what Kaohsiung meant. Since the Navy is about to set up a second army, who will be the commander of the army? As the commander of the first army, it is also the navy The first deputy commander of the headquarters, of course he has to express his opinion.Yue Guang, the commander of the First Division, was the earliest person to follow him, and also the first group of people to follow the Sixth Young Master. Luzon Island is to give him a chance to show his face in front of the sixth young master.

Yue Guang naturally firmly grasped the performance opportunity given by the army commander. After receiving the order, he conducted repeated research on Luzon Island with the four commanders of the First Hai Division and staff officers, and worked out their plan. Considered the most complete battle plan.

When ten sea ships with the Spanish flag came to the northernmost pier of Luzon Island on the grounds of trade, the current fourth regiment was in charge of controlling this place, and the first, second, and third regiments launched a lightning raid in three different directions from the left, middle, and right. tactics, and soon took control of most of the area around the Kagar River.

There was no defense before. The Luzon regime, which originally had only [-] soldiers and was still distributed for defense, fell after only five days. place.

On the second day after Luzon Island just changed its flag, a large number of seagoing ships bearing the five-star flag suddenly appeared, and they surrounded the ten seagoing ships with Spanish flags on them. After a "fierce battle", they were wiped out. General Miguel and Deputy General Cruz were captured and then taken away openly. This scene was witnessed by many businessmen in the northern pier of Luzon Island. So far, the plan has been successfully completed.

Yang Chendong used two secretly captured enemy generals and ten warships to act, and reasonably occupied Luzon Island.They defeated the western powers and returned to Luzon Island to be safe. When the news spread, even if the northern and southern Ming dynasties knew about this matter, they had no way to say something.As for the fact that the mercenaries did not leave, it is better to explain why they stationed troops here. After all, this place has become the target of other countries, and they stayed here to better protect it.

After Luzon Island became Yang Chendong's new force, he expanded the northern pier according to his request and renamed it Luzon Port. At the same time, a new city, Song City, was built on the island. Santo.

Because the population of Luzon Island at that time was not very large, only about 100 million. In order to strengthen the construction here and prosper the economy here, 200 million people were transferred from the Cambodian Province.So far, Yang Chendong has fulfilled his promise to Governor Sun Xiaoguang.

After Luzon Island became a member of Yang Chendong's sphere of influence, they successfully controlled the South China Sea of ​​the Ming Dynasty. Relying on Xiaoliuqiu Island, Luzon Island, and the ports of Vietnam Province, they formed a pocket on this sea area. , without their consent, any force's ships entering here may face major blows from three sides.

The task of capturing Luzon Island was successfully completed, and the time came to May [-]. At this time, the second wife Qiaoyin was in labor for less than a month. Yang Chendong gave up all military affairs and returned to Chixian City to accompany her to wait for the birth with peace of mind. Qiaoyin is waiting for the birth of her first child.

Yang Chendong calmed down, and the provinces under his influence have also settled down. The development should continue to develop, and we should seize the time to stabilize it. The Navy Command also passed a resolution to prepare for the establishment of the Second Sea Army, and ordered Yue Guang to be the commander of the army. , under the jurisdiction of the fourth, fifth, and sixth naval divisions, with a total of more than [-] officers and personnel.

At the same time, it was also announced that the mercenary army would be renamed the Five-Star Army from now on, and an edict was issued to the world.

It is definitely a big deal for the mercenary to change its name to the Five-Star Army.But at the moment, there are not many people who really pay attention to this aspect. After Yang Chendong attacked the Phnom Penh Dynasty, various forces also took the opportunity to seek opportunities to seize their own benefits.

Not long after learning the news that the mercenaries had launched an attack on the Phnom Penh Dynasty, Zhu Huixun, the king of Minzhuang, called himself King Nanming, and issued an edict to the world.And soon after, Wang Mubin of Xiping, who sent troops to Yunnan, was located.
