After the Ming army entered Guangdong and Guangxi, it greatly increased the speed of increasing the resource utilization rate of Guangdong and Guangxi.

After the 100,000 troops arrived, Zhao Yucheng, in accordance with the central government's policies, promoted military-civilian cooperation in military farming and land reclamation in addition to the collective farm policy.

The army assists farmers in reclaiming wasteland in addition to training and combat tasks. The addition of tens of thousands of capable labor forces is of great help to farmers in reclaiming wasteland.

Therefore, in a short time, large areas of the original wilderness were reclaimed for cultivation as fields, and after two or three years, it would become a fertile field where food could be grown.

However, compared with the vast wilderness and the insufficient number of Han people, although there are 100,000 capable laborers, this process is obviously impossible to surpass the limitations of the times.

But no matter what, this process has been greatly promoted.

Agricultural production expansion activities are in full swing, and danger is quietly growing.

Wherever agricultural production goes, the rule of the Ming government can expand to wherever it goes. This is of course a good thing for the Han people, but it is not a good thing for foreign tribes and wild beasts.

For the Ming Dynasty officials, safety must be guaranteed around the areas where farmers are working.

Farmers worked tirelessly to farm and produce taxes to the Ming government, but the government could not protect their safety. This was unreasonable and would greatly dampen farmers' enthusiasm for production.

Therefore, facing groups of wild beasts that would cause damage to agricultural production, the Ming army launched a large-scale suppression operation.

Like Su Jue, Zhao Yucheng also organized a considerable number of elite troops to launch a large-scale beast clearing operation on the mountains, forests and wilderness areas around the developed areas.

The Ming army used Thunder God Cannons, muskets and tinder oil to kill the group of wild beasts in large quantities, driving them away so that they could not harm the farm.

A large number of wild beasts that are active in the local area that will cause harm to agricultural production and farmers themselves are shocked by the power of human gunpowder, are constantly driven away, and are constantly away from human settlements, so the production conditions of local farmers have been greatly improved.

This is a very high score for local farmers in Guangdong.

Because before this, no regime's army could help them kill wild beasts so hard to eliminate danger, and they did not have any reward at all. The wild beasts they fought back would also share the meat for them to eat.

Of course, there is nothing to say about the beasts, just kill them directly, but for those foreign tribes living in these areas, it cannot be that simple.

Treating wild animals and treating wise humans naturally cannot be equated.

Just like the situation encountered by the Ming army in the Sichuan and Shu area, these foreign tribes in Lingnan treated the Ming Dynasty with different attitudes.

Some were willing to accept the fact that Ming Dynasty took over, were willing to exchange with Ming Dynasty, and traded some goods produced by their tribe with Ming Dynasty in exchange for salt, cloth, tea and other things they needed to maintain a good communication relationship.

Some tribes are cautious about the entry of Ming Dynasty and are unwilling to contact Ming Dynasty, but they will not provoke Ming Dynasty's controlled areas. They pay great attention to distance, but they will also conduct commercial trade with tribes that actively communicate with Ming Dynasty in exchange for the supplies they need.

Some tribes also had negative attitudes towards the Ming Dynasty's entry into power and the development of surrounding areas.

These tribes have strong self-control and have also had some negative senses of the Southern Song government in the past. They not only did not contact them, but also became enemies with the Ming Dynasty, harassing and robbing the collective farms of the Ming Dynasty every now and then, fighting with the self-defense militias of the collective farms, looting property and population.

Zhao Yucheng will never tolerate such tribes.

He deeply understood what it means to seek peace through struggle and survive. As long as someone dares to invade, he will definitely take a straightforward and complete revenge.

Once a collective farm is attacked and robbed, he will definitely send troops to completely destroy the tribe. No matter how long it takes to fight or how many people there are in this tribe, he will stick to a strategy of killing and razing it to the ground.

When he wiped out this tribe, he would also send people to inform those friendly tribes, telling them not to interfere, not to participate, and not to accommodate fugitives. If he found that fugitives should be handed over to the Ming army, otherwise he would be regarded as confronting the Ming army.

Once it is regarded as confronting the Ming army, there will be only one end.

Resolutely wipe out regardless of costs.

In the first half of the year when the Ming army entered Guangdong and Guangxi, facing many barbaric, strong and unruly tribes, Zhao Yucheng led the Ming army to fight more than 70 wars from all over the country, and achieved a complete victory.

He destroyed a total of twenty-three tribes that dared to attack the collective farms in the Ming Dynasty controlled area, implemented his promises, and drove them out.

The tribe leader was beheaded by him and was preached to the public, and was spread to all directions, thinking it was a deterrent.

Half a year later, the Ming army's unprecedentedly severe and resolute crackdown on costs and casualties finally made all tribes in Guangdong understand the iron law of "cannot rob the Han farms".

This is an iron law that must not be violated, otherwise it will inevitably usher in crazy revenge from the Ming army, and the Ming army will not accept surrender until it perishes and will never stop attacking.

Through simple, crude and effective means, Zhao Yucheng successfully stabilized the situation in Guangdong, established a tough image that the Ming-ruled areas should not be violated, and created a good environment for the Guangdong Provincial Government to fully develop the economy and resume production.

And in the process, he met his wife.

It was also said that the Ming army forced the tribes. The tribes did not dare to attack the Ming-controlled areas with the richest material resources. However, their production level was insufficient and the materials produced were not enough to be distributed. The lack of material throughout the whole process. They could only guide each other, love and fight each other, and solve their needs in places where the Ming army did not interfere.

Zhao Yucheng's wife is the daughter of a tribal leader who had friendly contacts with the Ming army. There is a Chinese name named Yue Ling'er. His father hired Han teachers to teach him since he was a child and received Chinese education.

The tribe once helped the Ming Dynasty caravan when it was in danger, so it maintained a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty officials. Because it maintained trade with the Ming Dynasty, it had rich material resources and was always regarded as a wealthy tribe.

Originally, this tribe was fine, but the leader suddenly fell ill and died without waiting for treatment, leaving only Yue Ling'er, a girl.

Originally, he planned to choose a strong husband for Yue Ling'er to stabilize the tribe, but before he could implement it, the people were gone. The entire tribe suddenly had no leader, and powerful factions of all sizes emerged one after another and began to fall apart.

Not to mention internal troubles for the time being, external troubles are even more serious.

When they learned that the leader of the tribe died of illness without a strong heir, the major tribes were eager to try and were ready to take advantage of his illness to kill him, swallow the wealthy tribe alive and eat a bite of fat.

As the news came, some fence-headed forces within the tribe betrayed one after another, and defected to those greedy tribes to be the leader party. Only a few left were left by Yue Ling'er.

At the critical moment, Yue Ling'er was very calm.

She was very clear that there was no one asking for this state at this moment. Multiple tribes must eat her when they joined forces. None of the plastic friends of her father's death were useful. Even if she wanted to help her, she would be helpless.

In this case, only Mingguo can save her.

So she wrote a letter and asked the person to send it to Guangzhou for help, asking Mingguo to help him because of the good relationship they had maintained, otherwise she would have to commit suicide to make her innocent and reputation.

The letter was delivered directly to Zhao Yucheng through military channels. After Zhao Yucheng learned about this, he urgently held a military meeting to discuss whether to send troops.

Some people think that this is the dog biting the dog inside the enemy. They bit their own biting their own. As long as they do not hurt the people of the Ming Dynasty, they can do whatever they want. Anyway, they have not paid taxes so far and are not considered to be citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

They have almost done their own people, which is also beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, right?

However, Zhao Yucheng believed that it was necessary to send troops to help.

Because the other tribe had helped Ming merchants get out of danger and was a friendly tribe close to Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty despised such a tribe without help, it would be of no benefit to the future.

After all, the Ming Dynasty will take all these tribes into rule in the future, so that they will become citizens who pay taxes to the Ming government, and maintain a reputation of trusting and gratitude. It is very beneficial.

The government's rule over the people requires credibility and fame. Excellent credibility and fame will greatly reduce the cost of ruling. This is a very obvious but not easy to be valued.

Zhao Yucheng convinced most of the command team, so after they reported to the Zhongdu Military Department, they dispatched a special operation assault team composed of three battalions, led by Zhao Yucheng himself.

In fact, Zhao Yucheng's biggest idea at that time was to defeat the enemy without fighting.

He thought of supporting Yue Ling'er's tribe with the great military power of the Ming Dynasty and allowing those greedy and warlike tribes to retreat, so he decided to take the initiative and convene the tribe leaders who were preparing to gain benefits for a meeting.

He said that this tribe is surrounded by Ming Dynasty, so you don’t have any ideas. His father just passed away and his body is not cold. You sent troops to attack. Isn’t this too disrespectful to the deceased?

But he underestimated the greed of those tribes.

They have never believed in the laws of the jungle and never thought that there was anything wrong with bullying the weak. The law of the weak is the law of nature, and it is normal.

They felt that Yue Ling'er's tribe was already the fat that they had in their mouths, and even the Ming army could not compete with them. It would be the greatest face for them to not provoke the Han people. If the Ming country is ungrateful, don't blame them for turning against others.

Zhao Yucheng had a firm attitude and was very tough, telling them that if they dared to start a war against Yue Ling'er's tribe, they would declare war on the Ming Dynasty.

The conflict between the two sides is about to break out.
