"Nanding City?" Zhu Zanyi said with some suspicion: "I just said that according to the proven situation, the Hu Dynasty soldiers in Nanding City will definitely fight to the death with the Ming soldiers. After this battle, Nanding City will definitely be very damaged. How? Can it be used as a capital city?"
"Your Highness, it is because the soldiers of the Hu Dynasty fought desperately against the Ming Dynasty that Nanding is suitable as the capital city." Lin Yurong replied very unexpectedly: "Your Highness, if the soldiers of the Hu Dynasty fought a bloody battle with the Ming Dynasty, they would definitely recruit the people in the city to help. Use it as a citizen to defend the city, so that Your Highness will have a suitable reason to clear out the Annan people in the city."
"No matter what happens in the future, now, the people of Annan are generally less trustworthy than the people of the Central Plains. No matter where His Highness decides to set the capital, the people will be relocated from Guangxi, and the military households will be guarded near the capital to ensure safety."
"But the migration of Annan people without any reason is detrimental to His Highness's rule here. It will make the local soldiers, gentry and officials suspicious and dissatisfied. They think that they are inferior to the Han people, so we must not move the people without any reason."
"So a city like Nanding with a good location and capable of fighting against the Ming Dynasty has emerged. His Highness can use the people in the city to assist the soldiers of the Hu Dynasty in defending the city, count them all as prisoners of war, sell them to the merchants accompanying the army, and at most keep them There are a very small number of people who did not participate in the defense of the city. The people who migrated from the country are arranged in the places where these people were left after they were moved. They can even live in the houses they vacated without having to build any more houses. .Even if there are some gentry left in the city, these gentry will become useless trees without the people of Annan, and His Highness can easily take care of them."
"As for the dilapidated city, I believe that no matter how dilapidated the city is, it will be easier than building a new city on the ground; not to mention that Nanding City is located along the Yellow River, with direct access to the sea, and convenient transportation, making it suitable for the capital."
"This is my opinion. Your Highness, please think about it."
"Well, you are right." Zhu Zanyi thought about it carefully and said: "Nanding is indeed very suitable for being used as the capital in the future." He waved his hand proudly: "From this point of view, even if the Annan people in the city resist and Even if it’s not intense, it needs to be made more intense, at least to make outsiders think it’s very intense.”
Zhu Zanyi was not stupid either. He naturally knew that although the guards in Nanding City were all Hu Ji Yao's cronies, they would not necessarily die for Hu Ji Yao if he saw that he would be defeated; and this time he wanted to capture Hu Ji Yao in order to fight for the chance. Ji Yao's hope was to surround Nanding City on all sides. The defenders in the city had no possibility of escaping and could easily surrender when the battle situation was unfavorable. If they surrendered, how could he implement this strategy?
What Zhu Chanyi meant was that even if the Annan people on the opposite side wanted to surrender, they would never accept it. The army must enter the city. The Nanding defenders had completely lost their ability to resist before considering taking in the prisoners and selling them to the merchants accompanying the army. Of course, Zhu Zanyi will announce the news to the public: In fact, he originally planned to accept the surrender of the Annan people, but when he was about to accept their surrender, the defenders attacked the Ming army. He thought that the other party was pretending to surrender, so he refused to accept it. He did not accept the prisoners until he accepted them. Knowing that most people want to surrender, only a very small number of people refuse to surrender, which leads to this result.
"I suggest that your Highness must use less artillery, so that the Nanding garrison will think that the army does not carry many artillery to attack Nanding this time, and after learning that Hu Jisao has escaped from Nanding City, they will instead besiege three buildings, so that The defenders in the city have hope of escaping, so they will not surrender. After finding out the situation of the defenders and knowing the strength of their defenses, they can then use all the cannons to bombard a corner and attack Nanding City in one fell swoop." Lin Yurong said again.
"It makes sense. Cannons also have a limit on the number of times they can be used. The barrel of a cannon can't be used for long, so you have to use it sparingly." Zhu Shanyi nodded. Then the two of them discussed how to fight this battle.
.
After the two discussed, Zhu Zanyi was about to encourage Lin Yurong a few words, when he suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "From the last sentence of your proposal to make Nan the capital, you can always call yourself a minister, not a subordinate or a subordinate.
, Why, I wanted to make the vassal an official but I was embarrassed to say it directly, so you reminded me like this? Don't worry, I will definitely get you from the emperor's uncle. Well, the left and right kings and ministers are just from the second rank and sixth hall servants.
You are from the third level of shooting, and I will appoint you as the standard of the fourth level, so I will not bury you."
The standard is a military unit that Zhu Zanyi thought up by himself. He will not have many troops in the feudal country in the future. After the country is stabilized, the standing troops will not exceed 100,000. He feels that if one guard is used as the basic unit, there will be too many soldiers, so he decided to feudalism in the future.
There are only five hundred households under the jurisdiction of the country's thousand households, and the five small establishments of the thousand households belong to one standard. The chief officer is Biaotong, the fourth rank, and the auxiliary officer is the leader, the fourth rank. Although this method of uniting troops has not been made public yet,
But Zhu Zanyi had already discussed it privately with Zhu Zhen, and Zhu Zhen felt very good about it and planned to do the same after returning to his feudal country.
Lin Yurong naturally knew that appointing him as Biaotong was a great trust, and he was a little moved by this. He was indeed a little moved by the appointment of a vassal official to Zhu Zanyi, but he still said with a straight face: "Your Highness, your subordinates
It was just an unintentional mistake, and it was not what His Highness thought." He paused, and then said: "But I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what position your Majesty appoints to your subordinates, they will respectfully accept the holy orders. It will never be done.
Any complaints."
What Lin Yurong said is very legal in this era and has no problems. However, Zhu Zanyi, who had stayed in the capital with Yunxi for six years, thought of something else. "According to the emperor's uncle, what is Lin Yurong's name and what is he proud of?"
, I forgot the very appropriate word that the emperor's uncle said.' Zhu Zanyi thought about it for a long time without remembering that word, and then thought: 'Anyway, I remember that the emperor's uncle said that the word is more pleasing to the eye for women to use, and if it is a man, it is more pleasing to the eye.
It's not very good. But I heard that there is nothing wrong with Lin Yurong's use of this word...'
Zhu Zanyi was thinking that it was already noon. After being reminded by his eunuch, Zhu Zanyi quickly put down what he was thinking about and said: "It is already noon. All ministers will have dinner with Gu."
They excused themselves for a few words and went to the dining hall to have dinner together.
…
…
"Farewell to Your Majesty." Annan Beijiang's pacification envoy and Nanding City guard Ruan Xizhou said this to Hu Jiya who had already left the city. Last night, Hu Jiya had learned that Zhu Zanyi had led an army to conquer Nanding. In order not to be blocked
In the city, after he had fully explained everything in the city to Ruan Xizhou and others this morning, he quietly left Nam Dinh City after lunch at noon and rushed to the Western Capital City.
"Ruan Aiqing, I will hand over Nanding City to you. You must defend this city and prevent it from being occupied by the Ming Dynasty. When I go to the Western Capital, I will definitely recruit soldiers from other places to come as reinforcements to relieve the siege." Hu
Ji Yao said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will honor your orders." Ruan Xizhou said with a very firm expression.
"Haha, you Ruan Xizhou is a very good general in Dayu. It will not be easy for the Ming army to attack Nanding City. What's more, they don't know the rest of your abilities, so they will definitely suffer a big loss under Nanding City."
