Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Luoding is poor in mountains and rivers, and the prefectures and counties in the territory have suffered successive military disasters, and the remaining population is less than 10,000. In addition, the land is located between the Ming and Qing forces. It is a place where both sides of the Ming and Qing Dynasties must advance if they want to advance. A site where wars can occur at any time is not in the interests of the Taiping Camp, and it is simply not available for the Taiping Camp to grow and develop.

From ancient times to the present, if any force wants to develop, it relies on nothing more than population and money and food. To support soldiers, you must have money and food. If you want to have money and food, you must first have someone. In the words of later generations of online novels, the matter of building high walls and delaying becoming kings is to farm and farm again, and then use money, food, population, advanced systems and weapons to arrogantly overthrow each other.

However, what Luoding lacks in this place is precisely the population and money and food. How can anyone play without money and food?

It is one thing to coerce the people to increase their own strength, but there is no way in the world to coerce the people, and you can go to the end just by grabbing them! Even Li Zicheng was also vigorously developing his base in Huxiang in the later period. Zhang Xianzhong ran around and went to Sichuan to develop in peace. If it wasn't for the sudden entry of the Qing army, I am afraid that the Daxi Dynasty and Dashun Dynasty would really be able to stage it." Fight for hegemony in the west."

Coercion is only a means, not an end.

If there is no safe place to develop, even if 100,000 people are brought into the camp, Zhou Shixiang does not think that he can compete with the two traitor princes in Guangzhou. Even Geng Jimao and Shang Kexi might be able to fight this, but what about the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Manchu Eight Banners?

We need more soldiers, we need to train, we need to eat and drink, and our equipment needs to be upgraded. What should we do? There must be a foundation under a high-rise building. If you want to truly become an army that makes the Qing army feel fearful, you must first have a site where you can live and develop. This site is the foundation under the high-rise building, which is indispensable!

After pondering over it, Zhou Shixiang decided to make a deal with the Gaozhou side with the useless rib of Luodingcheng and the tens of thousands of people in Taipingying. He didn't ask for too much, he just asked the Nanming Guangdong authorities to be able to choose one county from the two states of Lian and Lei, which are located in the coastal areas, for the Taiping Camp to be stationed for food. As long as the other party can agree, it is not a problem for Taiping Camp to listen to anyone in name. Anyway, he is playing the banner of Emperor Yongli now, and if he wants to get it, it is also the righteousness of Emperor Yongli. As for who actually obeys, it doesn't matter at all.

There is really a place to live. Will it be a matter of the future to listen to the announcement? These days, there are many generals with troops who don't listen to the tune. It's impossible to stare at his thousands of trumpet soldiers.

As for why choose Lianzhou or Leizhou county instead of Gaozhou or Qiongzhou? The answer is simple, because Zhou Shixiang heard Song Xianggong say before that the real control of Gaozhou is not Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures, nor Lianchengbi, the governor of Guangdong, but the commander-in-chief under the command of Li Dingguo, the king of Xining, Letongwu.

Li Dingguo's name is famous in both past and present life. At first, Zhou Shixiang made up his mind to go to Li Dingguo in Guangxi, but because he did not want to rely on others, he placed his anti-Qing national fortune and personal revenge on others. Taking the opportunity of Cheng Bangjun to recruit the bandits from Daqiao Mountain, he encouraged Boss Hu and the others to capture Luo Ding, so that they could act on one side before Huaxia was completely reduced to an alien race. If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you have to be **** yourself when you strike the iron. As long as you have soldiers under your own hands, why do you need to fake the hands of others!

Now that he has the will of self-reliance, Zhou Shixiang certainly refused to go to Gaozhou. First, he was afraid that Li Dingguo's troops would not accept them, and secondly, he was afraid of being swallowed by Li Bu. After all, the strength of the Daxi Army was too strong. It's a little doll that just crawled.

How can the little doll play against the strong man?

As a result, Gaozhou was naturally excluded from Zhou Shixiang, and there were many forces in Nanming in Gaozhou, including Li Dingguo's army, as well as the troops and horses of Zhang Xiaoqi, the governor of the four prefectures. I heard that there are several troops under the governor Lianchengbi there. Food. Zhou Shixiang didn't know how these forces reached an agreement to garrison Gaozhou, but he knew that Gaozhou was not actually rich, and at the same time supported so many soldiers and horses, he was afraid that the people of Gaozhou would be miserable long ago. The Taiping Camp has 10,000 people plunged into it, and I am afraid that it will not be able to get much food support.

Instead of eating other people's leftovers, it is better to find another way out. Qiongzhou is the Hainan Island of later generations. In the long run, Qiongzhou is also a good place, because Qiongzhou is far away from the mainland, so there is no need to worry that the Qing army will cross the sea and attack. If there is no threat, you can naturally let go of your hands and feet to develop vigorously, whether it is climbing the technology tree, or making a big explosion in technology, whether it is successful or not, at least you can do things in peace, and you don’t have to worry about tomorrow.

Of course, being far away from the mainland can not be attacked by foreign enemies, but the problem is precisely in this far away from the mainland - Zhou Shixiang has no navy in his hands!

If there was a powerful naval force similar to Zheng Chenggong, Zhou Shixiang would naturally go to Qiongzhou without saying a word, but he didn't have one. Hugh said he had a boat, and he didn't even have a sailor. Moreover, there are few Han people on Qiongzhou Island, and most of the island are indigenous people, such as the Li people. Zhou Shixiang is not hostile to the indigenous people on the island, but as a Han, he subconsciously has the idea of ​​Han people being supreme, in the words of later generations, he is a Han Na.

Those who accept Han nationality only accept the interests of the same ethnic group, only affirm the interests of the same ethnic group. The Han nationality has the highest and most advanced civilization in the world. Most of the other nationalities are still backward. Therefore, the civilization must naturally be integrated and backward, and it is difficult to reverse the barbarism and annex the civilization.

The Han nationality itself is also constantly integrating foreign nationalities~www.NovelMTL.com~ Thousands of years of history have long proven that the Han nationality is far more inclusive than any other nation in the world, so Zhou Shixiang, a Hanna, is by no means an extreme race. On the contrary, he is a pragmatic nationalist. He is happy that non-Han people can automatically integrate into the big Han family, enjoy the civilization created by the Han people, and progress with it. In terms of human emotions, he has no idea of ​​slaughtering any ethnic group, but hopes that all ethnic groups will disappear. Of course, this disappearance does not mean that those ethnic groups disappear physically, but that they all become Han people.

Only by becoming a family and a nation, will there be no turmoil in China, and there will be no eight characters inscribed in blood—not my race, its heart will be different.

In short, the fact that there are more indigenous people in Qiongzhou Island than Han Chinese is not the reason why Zhou Shixiang is reluctant to go to Qiongzhou.

Without the navy, there is no way to transport the population on a large scale, and there is no way to conquer the outside world. In ten or twenty years.... In the absence of a large number of Han people from the mainland to enrich Qiongzhou, Zhou Shixiang has no way to build the Taiping Camp into one. Support 100,000 soldiers, or even more powerhouses.

Moreover, no matter how well developed in Qiongzhou, it is just an island. If you want to expel the Hu people and restore China, it is obviously difficult to achieve with the power of an island. Zheng's Taiwan and later Jiang's Taiwan have proved this, so Zhou Shixiang will not go to Qiongzhou unless it is a last resort, because doing so means to a certain extent that he may never be able to return to the mainland again in his life. hometown.

"Lian and Lei Prefectures can choose a county. If the governor agrees, I will follow suit from now on in Taiping Camp!"
