The two argued with each other for a while, and Zhu Hongyu said that he wanted to adapt the attitude of Qiu Hui's troops.
Qiu Hui did not refuse!
Firstly, because he did not dare to refuse, and secondly, because Zhu Hongyu offered a compensation that was so generous that he could not refuse.
He retained his military rank and rank and went to the martial arts training hall for half a year. After half a year, he was transferred to serve in the Liberation Army at the same level.
In addition, Zhu Hongyu also gave him a large material reward.
Gold, silver, acres, house, and even the title of Viscount was given to him.
That's right, Qiu Hui has now become a member of the great Ming Dynasty from a local tycoon.
In addition to the rewards given to Qiu Hui himself, all his generals also received rewards.
Zhu Hongyu is famous for his generous spending in this area!
Moreover, Qiu Hui raised troops to fight against the Qing under the banner of resisting the Qing and restoring the Ming, under the background of the complete defeat of the Ming army in the past few years.
Even if he sells horse bones for a thousand gold, Zhu Hongyu cannot treat Qiu Hui and others badly.
Moreover, he, Zhu Hongyu, has always believed in the principle of equal exchange. If you want to get something, you must pay the same price.
You can even buy or sell by force, but you can never go to whoring for free...
Faced with Zhu Hongyu's advantage, Qiu Hui knelt down without even hesitating.
…
Qiu Hui resigned and left. Zhu Hongyu wrote and reviewed a report. Looking at the battle plan for the Guangxi strategy in the report, his eyes narrowed, revealing deep thoughts.
For this battle, the Ming army was preparing to mobilize troops from Luzon, Qiongzhou and other places and recruit new soldiers for training on the battlefield.
A part of the Guiyi army was also mobilized to coordinate the battle, and regiments from Guangdong were mobilized to serve as civilian laborers to transport the grain, grass and baggage required for the battle.
The terrain in Guangxi is very undulating, and the water transportation conditions are far less developed than in places like Guangdong and Jiangnan.
To use troops against Guangxi, how to ensure the logistics of the army was the first problem Zhu Hongyu had to face.
The method proposed by Zhu Hongyu was to recruit local regiments to train and serve as civilian men to transport logistical equipment for the army.
If water cannot be used, manpower and animal power can only be used.
However, due to the scarcity of various cattle, horses and large livestock in Guangdong, animal-powered transportation is not practical.
After much deliberation, the only option is to rely on manpower!
Furthermore, Zhu Hongyu's order to recruit so many regiments to train and train armed forces was not just for the purpose of using them as civilians.
The more important purpose is for Zhu Hongyu to verify his influence on the local area.
After his order is issued, can it be carried out?
If it can be carried out smoothly and Zhu Hongyu, the team training arm, can be mobilized, nothing will happen.
But if Zhu Hongyu's order is passed, the local government deliberately shirks it, and the regiment training armed forces refuse to accept the order...
Haha, that would be exciting!
Zhu Hongyu will not allow such private armed forces that do not obey military orders to exist under his rule.
Even local team training will not work!
Zhu Hongyu really doesn't mind killing anyone who dares to disobey orders.
It just so happens that the main force of the Ming army is now in Guangdong.
If he wants to quell the rebellion, he doesn’t need to mobilize troops from other places!
Whoever dares to explode the thorns will be killed directly!
Jinyiwei's Operation Night Breeze just ended some time ago, so it is not a problem to fabricate a crime against those people.
If it were other crimes, Zhu Hongyu would not be able to kill anyone!
If he kills too many people, he will cause the place to become alienated!
After all, no one wants their immediate boss to be a murderer, right?
Furthermore, how many landlords and gentry in Guangdong are really clean?
If Zhu Hongyu really started killing people, he would offend all the landlords in Guangdong.
Although Zhu Hongyu is not afraid of offending them, there is no need to do so, right?
The most important thing in doing things is to clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
Distinguish who is the enemy and who is one of your own!
Kill a few enemies and kill many of your own people.
With the Qing court as a formidable enemy in front of us, it was necessary to unite all the forces of unity.
However, although it is not allowed to kill people at will for other crimes, it is different with Tongta!
To put it bluntly, this is a question of taking sides and a stance.
As long as someone dares to do this, he will betray not only Zhu Hongyu, not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the entire Guangdong landlords and gentry class.
Now, I dare not say all the landowners and gentry in Guangdong, but at least 70% to 80% choose to side with the Ming Dynasty.
But under such circumstances, if someone is colluding with Tatars, wouldn’t that be a clear betrayal of the class position?
Can this be tolerated?
Definitely not!
Kill him!
He must be killed!
As we all know, the two Japanese are more hateful than the Japanese.
In this way, if Zhu Hongyu wants to kill people again, there won't be so much opposition.
…
The new recruits have been assembled at the head of each battalion, and they are constantly gathering towards Guangzhou from Luzon, Qiongzhou and other places.
At the same time, the troops that have been fighting on the front lines for a long time are also rotating with the local defenders staying behind.
One by one, the veterans were transferred to the rear for rest and recuperation, and the recruits who had just walked out of the new barracks gathered in Guangzhou, preparing to join the upcoming war in Guangxi.
If it were a strategic decisive battle with the Qing army, Zhu Hongyu would definitely not let the Ming army's recruits go to the battlefield to act as the main force.
Those at the front must be veterans of the army who have experienced many battles.
The most new recruits can do is go to the battlefield to make soy sauce!
However, this battle in Guangxi is not a strategic decisive battle.
It was just a war of cruelty against vegetables by the Ming army to mobilize troops, open up territory and expand the territory, and teach the Qing army a lesson in Guangxi Green Camp.
It's just a group of green soldiers. Even if most of the Ming army is just new recruits, as long as there is no waste of fighting and there are veterans of our own behind to hold the battle, there is basically no possibility of problems.
It happened that the Ming army could also use this battle to train their troops, allowing a large number of new soldiers to go to the battlefield to see blood and prepare for the next strategic decisive battle with the Qing army.
Zhu Hongyu now has a lot of troops at hand, but the expansion of the Liberation Army has not stopped during this period of time.
Now, with the addition of the Army's water division, the total number of troops has reached nearly 70,000.
This number of troops is not much less than that of the Eight Banners of Manchuria of the Qing Dynasty.
Among them, there are nearly 15,000 navy troops and 55,000 army troops.
However, during this period, although the total number of troops in the Ming army increased, the quality of the army declined.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Although the recruits have completed basic recruit training, without exception, they have never been on the battlefield and seen blood.
The quality is always a bit different!
In order to improve the quality of the army, going to the battlefield and seeing blood is the best way, even if there is no other way.
Elite soldiers are all produced by fighting, this is not wrong.
…
March, the nineteenth year of Yongli!
Spring is blooming!
Jingnan Palace, located in Fuzhou City, is picturesque.
Plants, pavilions, rockeries, flowing water...
Everything expresses what is called natural interest.
