Maintaining the full capacity of 250,000 troops and building a city, the annual money and grain will definitely cost more than 10 million taels of snowflakes and silver, which is three times the surplus of the Ming Dynasty! What’s even more terrible is that these 250,000 soldiers will be

The horses are not allowed to produce, and they rely entirely on supplies within the pass, and they even have to travel thousands of miles to transport grain from Jiangnan. The food and grass that are consumed on the way is an astronomical figure. How long does the family savings last? It takes about 700,000 taels of silver to last for about half a year.

.

The Donglin Party has been eliminated from the mining tax and reduced the commercial tax. Where did the Ming Dynasty's silver come from? There is only one way to increase the agricultural tax, so the peasant uprising buryed the Ming Dynasty. Ma Cheng staggered when he stood up with a sore forehead, and then he realized that he was dizzy.

I was drunk and woke up and surrounded by all the beauties. A group of wives and concubines came from the capital, and the old man Zhou Yongchun and Zhou were accompanied by. After a series of affectionate greetings, I sighed.

Ma Cheng treated Mr. Zhou with his nephew's courtesy and arranged for his family to live in Taiwan.

With endless love and affection, Ma Cheng put down his military affairs and his wives and concubines, Zhou Shishu's family traveled around the country, and Taiwan was as peaceful as a paradise.

Manor in the mountains, quiet room.

Ma Cheng took a bowl of Korean ginseng soup into the quiet room and sat down beside the bed. Liu Zihua sat up embarrassedly under the maid's service. She was weaker in the road and was covered in the cool northern Taiwan. She would have been incubated for some time.

Her body was getting better and better. The weak beauties from the Jiangnan water town were much worse than those of Yingxue, and the Liaodong women like Yu Fengjun.

Liu Zihua swallowed the ginseng soup in small mouth and said firmly: "I want to practice martial arts!"

Ma Cheng was startled and comforted: "Okay, okay, I will teach you martial arts in a few days."

Liu Zihua felt sad and burst into tears: "How can I practice martial arts with Xiaojiao? You are surrounded by Qinghua, a heroic woman like Yun Yan, and I am the only one Xiaojiao woman."

Ma Cheng was so amused and laughed. When Bai Qinghua was in love, Zhou Yunyan pushed the door from outside and started to tease her with a smile. The peerless beauty with small feet also learned to be bad, and she learned to act coquettishly and compete for favor. It’s a pity that a handsome man with a cold temperament was a talented girl.

Liu Zihua, who was discovered, was embarrassed and sweated heavily.

Ma Cheng did not dare to be negligent and serve him carefully. When Ying Lian'er recovered from illness, she went into the mountain and became a villager in the wild. Yu Fengjun and his daughters were also in high spirits, washed away all the lead and opened up a barren mountain, leading their own soldiers.

Working in the sky every day, growing some vegetables to raise chickens and ducks. Ma Zong Town and Zhou Butang all put down their bodies to open up wasteland, which shows how spectacular the island is. More than twenty coastal people migrated to Taiwan

Ten thousand.

Two hundred thousand people live in Tamsui, Wanhua, and built land and city. The three Taiwan departments are also located in Wanhua. The Taiwan Zhenjun camp is located in Tamsui Hongmao City, which is a military fortress built by the Dutch. It lives in the south.

Yi has recruited 15,000 people, 5,000 naval troops, and 10,000 infantry troops. With Kaiyuan veterans as the backbone, the non-commissioned officer system created by Macheng has once again played a miraculous role. After three months, the 10,000 infantry troops

During the training period of the recruits, they marched southward. Southern Taiwan is an indigenous settlement area, with a population of hundreds of thousands still in primitive society, living in mountains where the sun is not visible all year round.

These hundreds of thousands of indigenous mountain people are very irritable and cruel in nature, and are purely uncivilized savages.

The newly formed Taiwan town army that went deep into the mountains soon encountered resistance from the natives. Most of the town army composed of new recruits performed very poorly. The two frontiers, more than one thousand fully armed men, were attacked by the fierce natives at night.

The camp was blown up, and Nan Juyi was so angry that he slashed a few heads hard. It would be fine if he only cut off a few heads, because most of the captured soldiers could not be held accountable, and more than 300 captured Taiwanese town troops were cruelly

All the natives cut their heads.

Three hundred bloody heads hung on the tree, and there was an uproar, from Nanjuyi to ordinary soldiers, silent. Macheng could only smile bitterly, the Ming soldiers had no experience in overseas expansion, and they encountered the first experimental overseas colonization.

A big nail, two battalions of Ming army armed to the teeth, were equipped with the most advanced heavy-core guns in Europe, but were almost wiped out by the indigenous wooden sticks and bows.

The military and civilians were shocked, and the Taiwan town army, which was not trained, had to stop and fight while practicing. Taiwan Governor Nan Juyi took out real money and a military order. All the Ming men who registered in Taiwan Province were over 16 years old.

When they were under forty years old, they entered the military camp in batches for training and received three months of training for recruits. The real people were soldiers, which was also a helpless decision made by too few people in Taiwan.

The steps of clearing the land stopped, and the Three Taiwan Departments began to concentrate their troops to eliminate the indigenous people. There was no reason to say from the indigenous people. There was no difference between the indigenous people and the savage people in the mountains. Once they fell into the hands of the indigenous people, they would die, and they died very miserably. The defeat was defeated.

The Ming army gradually became cruel, and all the savages were beheaded when they caught them. When the weather gradually became hot, the war between the Taiwanese town army and the indigenous people also reached a white-hot stage. A large number of young and strong men who completed the training of new recruits were supported to the front line.

The land cleared out a land and built a fort. Although the progress was slow, it gradually gained an advantage.

During this long colonial war, I don’t know how many Ming people died in the mountains of Taiwan. However, in Macheng, this is all worth it. This is the first foreign colonial war led by the government in the Ming Dynasty. The first time

It is inevitable that it is a little unfamiliar. The biggest role of this colonial war is to cultivate a large number of qualified modern soldiers who can skillfully use modern smoothbore weapons. The colonial war is truly a touchstone for tempering a nation.

The Taiwan New Army and the Miyun New Army took two completely different ways of building the army. The Miyun New Army in Gyeonggi was fully closed for training, waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a splash, while the Taiwan New Army was fighting and practicing with the natives.

The two paths are also Ma Cheng's exploration and testing of the Ming New Army and the way to form an army. Now it seems that the method of the Taiwan New Army training in actual combat is very effective.

The natives of Taiwan are excellent military training opponents, neither too strong nor too weak, and they can be used for military training just now.

The natives had no rules for fighting. Several big villages gathered together from the deep mountains and forests, and came out all over the mountains to launch the tactics of the sea of ​​people. This move was difficult to deal with. The Ming army who often fought was unable to defend themselves. The Ming army suffered too much loss.

I also learned my lesson. I cut wood and burned mountains whenever I arrived. In the cruel colonial war, I learned how to clear the shooting world and create no man's land, and how to build a battlefield that is beneficial to me. Indigenous people or primitive society, I never fought every time I went to war.

Leave room to kill the elderly, weak, women and children in the family first, leaving only the adult men who can fight.

The Ming army was first afraid of the cruel practices of the natives, then numb, and finally became a qualified soldier without blinking. After half a year, the Ming army went deep into Taichung and could no longer attack. Nan Juyi ordered the construction of Taichung Prefecture in Taichung.
