The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 353 The Submission of King Annan

This place in Annan is very different from the later generations.

In terms of communication, it is similar to other territories of Ming Dynasty, at most, when speaking, it has a little Annan accent.

For example, those aboriginal minorities only have a heavier accent, and their writing is no different from the current Chinese characters.

Culture, politics, military, people's livelihood, etc., are all the same as the Han people.

Annan has always been part of the Central Plains Dynasty since very early on. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, due to geographical factors, it was related to the weakening of the Central Plains Dynasty and gradually became independent.

Mongolia and Yuan were unified, but for Annan, it was set as a vassal state, so I didn't bother to talk about it.

One is that the place is poor and there is nothing to grab, and the other is that there are many mountains and dense forests here. The Mongolian cavalry is completely unsuitable for fighting here, and the Mongols are more unacceptable to the environment here than the Han people.

So let it be.

After Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming, he felt that this place was not a good place. After all, he had never been here. As Zhu Yuanzhang grew up under the rule of Meng Yuan, his impression of Annan was influenced by Meng Yuan.

In addition, Annan is also very obedient.

In December of the first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang sent a magistrate named Yi Ji as an envoy to Annan to issue an edict.

In the imperial edict, Lao Zhu first briefly introduced his identity, and then told the other party that most of them had been compromised. If they wanted to coexist peacefully, they should quickly admit their orthodox identity.

The edict said: In the past when emperors ruled the world, all the sun and moon illuminated, regardless of distance, were treated equally. .The name of Jianguo was Daming, and it was changed to Yuan Hongwu.Qingzhe Keping Yuandu, Jiangyu Datong, has inherited the orthodoxy.

Fang and Yuanyou are at peace with each other in order to share the blessing of peace.However, the princes and chieftains of the four barbarians have never heard of them, so this is an edict, and I think it is appropriate to know.

At that time, the Annan Kingdom was at the end of the Chen Dynasty, and the king was Chen Rixiang.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige, Chen Rixiang had already heard about it when he was fighting for hegemony with Chen Youliang earlier.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is like the rising sun, it is shining brightly, so Chen Riying naturally dare not neglect it.

He immediately sent Shaozhong doctor Tong Min and others as envoys to Nanjing to pay tribute and request canonization.

You must know that although the people in Annan call themselves the title of emperor Shangmiao internally, they always only call themselves kings to the Central Plains dynasty.Now requesting the canonization of the Ming Dynasty is to show that the Ming Dynasty is respected as orthodox.

Annan took the lead in proclaiming himself a minister, which left a good impression on Zhu Yuanzhang and felt quite embarrassing.

In addition, there are so many small countries, each of which is very barren, and if they are all collected in Ming Dynasty, it will only increase the burden.

In the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the territory was already large enough. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang still had great ambitions, wanting to open up the territory.

Later, I found that even the management of the current site was extremely strenuous, so I gradually gave up this plan, and instead concentrated on managing internal affairs and developing people's livelihood.

A single thought made Annan Central Plains, and later generations were divided into two countries. If Annan was governed like Yunnan, the situation would be very different.

Now that Zhu Ying has dispatched [-] troops, the purpose can be imagined.

"Liu Jianjun, our army is only less than ten miles away from Shenglong City, the capital of Annan King. Your Excellency, please see if you need to send an envoy to notify first."

"Now that our [-] troops are approaching the city, I'm afraid the city of Thang Long is in chaos."

The commander of the army, Wei Xing, asked Liu Sheng respectfully.

Liu Sheng came with the army and was appointed by Zhu Ying as the commander of the Annan Supervising Army. He had the right to supervise all Ming soldiers in the Annan area and punish and demote them.

This means that all civilians and soldiers in Annan must be restrained by Liu Sheng, the supervisor.

"Shanglong, what a big tone, how dare you compare yourself to a dragon in such a small place? This is where I will be placed, Ming."

"Hmph, you don't need to tell us. Our Ming army has only arrived here, so we should give them some color and let those who harbor evil intentions understand in their hearts how we should treat our Ming soldiers."

"Let them know their status, it's just a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty."

Looking into the distance, Liu Sheng could vaguely see the outline of the city, but compared to the Ming city, it was a small place.

At most, it is equivalent to the scope of the county seat, and even Shangxian County can't compare with you, so it can be regarded as Zhongxian County.

"The last general takes orders."

Wei Xing's face was vaguely agitated, he didn't want to just pass by in peace.

These [-] troops are not the ordinary garrison soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but the garrison soldiers of the capital. Many of them have been on the battlefield and won credit for their achievements.

Starting from Nanjing, passing through Hunan and Guangxi provinces, and then arriving in Annam.

Needless to say, in Daming territory, after entering Annan, everything he passed was kneeling and submitting. This made Wei Xing, who had always wanted to make a move, feel very bored.

Didn't they say there were many bandits in Mount Annan?How come all the way, even the shadow can be seen.

If the Annan bandits knew what was going on in Wei Xing's mind, they would definitely curse at him.

We are bandits, not stupid.

50 people will keep you safe, and 500 people can make a fuss depending on the situation. You have 5 people.

Along the way, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and even the tiger was scared away.

Do you think you don't want to live and rush to reincarnate?

No, such a good laborer, how could he be willing to kill him, he just became a logistics coolie.

After Liu Sheng explained, he returned to the carriage.

After all, he is already very old, and his body will not be able to bear it by walking or riding a horse alone.

Including Li Xiucai, it can be regarded as his blessing.

But Li Xiucai's eyes are dizzy now.

"You guy, how can you be so useless, you can't even stand this bit of pain." Liu Sheng scolded directly.

Li Xiucai said weakly: "It's different. We crossed the mountains all the way from the Western Regions, and the land is flat. Although it is a bit rough, it is not bad."

Liu Sheng said: "But on the water, the boat was shaking and the waves were shaking, so you didn't react at all."

Li Xiucai replied: "Although I am from the north, when I was in the exam for fame, I was often compared to the south. I didn't adapt to it at first, but after I got dizzy and fainted, I got used to it."

Liu Sheng shook his head speechlessly and said, "At my age, I've heard of people who get seasick, and I've also heard about people who get carsick. It's the first time you've heard of mountain sickness. Okay, get ready."

"Now we have reached the flat land, and within ten miles, we will be the capital city of Annan."

Li Xiucai immediately got up from the carriage when he heard the words, and said happily, "But it's true."

Liu Sheng said: "Come out and have a look, you will know."

Hearing this, Li Xiucai, who was still sick just now, seemed to be a different person in an instant. His energy and energy returned, and he hurried out of the car to check.

I saw hundreds of thousands of mountains, which have been left behind, layer upon layer.

In front of you, there is an endless vast plain with lush grass, rivers and streams, and there are several mountains, which can only be called hills.

There is an independent city in the distance, and there seems to be a shadow shaking.

"It's here, it's finally here. After several months of hard work, I finally arrived at the place. This is the place where I will be an official in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Xiucai hurriedly straightened his clothes and smoothed his clothes, looking like an official.

Liu Sheng was also quite speechless, this guy really has a lot of heart in being an official.

No wonder the boss said that after arriving here, you still have to take care of him, and don't be too indulgent just because you are an old man from the Western Regions.

Today's scholars study hard in the cold window, how can they serve the country and the people? Ninety-nine percent of them are all returning to their hometowns and glorifying their ancestors.

The army had set off at dawn, and it was almost noon.

It stands to reason that it should be time to bury the pot and cook, but the morale of the army is so high that no one wants to live outside this city.

Just gnaw some dry food and eat while walking.

An hour and a half later, under the Dragon City.

The [-] army is majestic, well-dressed and full of energy.

On the gate of the city, there were already several people in fine clothes standing, and many soldiers were tense all over.

Liu Sheng, Wei Xing, and Li Xiucai looked at the city wall, which was no more than five feet tall, without any nervousness.

If you dare to refuse, the general will send you a cannon, and within a few dozen breaths, the city gate will be smashed into pieces.

Wei Xing waved his hand, and galloped from the ranks of troops to the gate of the city.

There is a gap on the side, signaling the knight to pass the document over.

"Presumptuous, this is the decree of the Great Ming Sage, how dare you enter through the side door, open the main door quickly!!!"

The knight yelled and roared loudly, which made the soldiers behind the door tremble, quickly closed the door, and went up to report.

Xu Shi knew that it was the army from the Ming Dynasty, and it seemed that the [-] elites outside Shenglong City seemed to be in the way. Not long after, the central city gate opened wide, and a group of official uniforms appeared.

The leader wears a crown and wears royal clothes.

"Small country widow, pay homage to the envoys of the previous country."

The king Annan who took the lead bowed and saluted. He was Chen Rikun, also known as Shunzong Chen Yong, the son of Chen Shuming.

As the king of Annan, when the army came and the situation was unknown, he actually went to the top of the wall in person. This undoubtedly made Wei Xing, Liu Sheng, Li Xiucai and others a little more respectful.

The fact is that they still don't understand Annan's situation.

Annan is currently the Chen Dynasty, and the real power is controlled by the Supreme Emperor Chen Yizong, the Han Zuo Chen Shuming, and the ninth monarch of the Chen Dynasty.

During Chen Shuming's lifetime in power, the political situation in Annan was full of difficulties. There were renunciation and rebellion by important officials in the DPRK and China, and invasion by Champa outside.

For this reason, Chen Shuming eliminated the rebels when he was emperor, and then took corresponding measures to adapt to the current situation.At this time, his relative Li Jishu (mao) gradually took power.

Chen Shuming supported the political situation of the Chen Dynasty for a quarter of a century. During this period, the Chen Dynasty was in a state of rapid decline.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Chen Rikun, as King Annan, came forward directly.

The present Chen Rikun had a look of surprise on his face.

Wei Xing also gave corresponding respect, got off his horse and cupped his fists to salute, and then negotiated.

After receiving a definite answer, Chen Rikun hurriedly said: "General, please enter the city quickly. If you wait for a long time, Xiao Wang will be rude."

After finishing speaking, he said with longing and hesitation in his eyes: "It's just that the generals and other soldiers, if they enter in one force, they may disturb the city residents."

However, after considering it in his heart, he turned firm and said: "Let's listen to the general's plan."

Since ancient times, soldiers did not enter the city, but now Chen Rikun can't care so much.

He was very grateful to Li Jishu for driving him to the city gate.

Now Chen Rikun really wanted to jump up and shout a few times. He didn't expect his parents and daughters to be so powerful, and they didn't give up their hopes.

Now she has really become the grandson concubine, the future noble concubine.

In addition, [-] Ming soldiers traveled far away to protect Annan.

Looking at the mighty appearance of the Ming generals, Chen Rikun really wanted to go up and touch him, this was his last hope to really take charge of Annan in the future.

From this feeling, I am afraid that the five Annan soldiers may not be able to beat one.

The so-called one Han against the five Hus is really well-deserved.

Now in Annan's situation, the Supreme Emperor is old and suffering from illness, and he is in a daze all day long.

The court is in the hands of Li Jishou, who is a puppet emperor.

But who would want to be a puppet honestly, but his elder brother has already been deposed by the Supreme Emperor because of Li Jisuo's words, so he dare not take any action at all.

but now?
In Chen Rikun's eyes, there was already a gleam of light.

Wei Xing was a little overwhelmed by King Annan's enthusiasm, but he still replied: "Your Majesty, although I am the commander of this army, but here in the army, everything must be controlled by the supervisor."

When Chen Rikun heard this, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know where Lord Superintendent is now."

Wei Xing pointed to a carriage in front of the army.

Chen Rikun immediately understood, and then ran towards the carriage with such small steps, regardless of the king's etiquette and his own safety.

This made Wei Xing a little confused.

The attitude of King Annan is really low.

Because of the anxiety in his heart, when he was approaching the carriage, he accidentally fell and one of his shoes fell off.

But Chen Rikun didn't care at all, even if the army was paying attention at this moment, he didn't care.

He walked quickly to the carriage, and said respectfully: "Young people from Xiaoguo, I have seen Mr. Supervisor, please see Mr. Supervisor."

Liu Sheng was in the carriage, and had been quietly paying attention to him for a long time.

Regarding Annan's situation, Liu Sheng had known for a long time, but he didn't expect that King Annan could let go of his dignity like this.

Knowing in my heart, it seems that the current Annan situation is more severe than imagined.

However, it is also a huge opportunity.

Without too much hesitation, Liu Sheng got out of the carriage quickly, raised Chen Rikun's bowed hands, and said in a moving tone: "How can you trouble me to receive the reception like this? It's a shame for me. It's windy outside the city. Let's go into the city first."

Chen Rikun said hesitantly: "This army is elite, I don't know how the supervisor plans to arrange it."

Liu Sheng said with a half-smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have strict military regulations. After entering the city, they will not affect the people at all."

Chen Rikun hurriedly said: "That's the case, Xiao Wang is relieved, and I also ask the supervisor to lead the soldiers into the city."

After negotiating for a while, Chen Rikun got into Liu Sheng's carriage, stood side by side with Liu Sheng, and stood at the front of the carriage.

There are hundreds of soldiers ahead, led by Wei Xing to open the way.

In front of the city gate, Chen Rikun ordered loudly that the city gates were fully opened to welcome the Ming army into the city.

The officials on the top of the city, as well as the city gate guard, chose to open the gate after hesitation.

After all, to the outside world, Chen Rikun is King Annan.

Although they actually only obeyed the orders of the power minister Li Jishu.

But the army suppressed the city, refused to open the city gate, and violated the king's will. Could it be that they went to war with the suzerain country Daming soldiers?
Looking at the neat military appearance and terrifying aura, no one would be terrified.

Chen Rikun stood on the carriage, watching his order being carried out, his heart was full of pleasure.

Ever since he became the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, he has never had a good night's sleep. He was afraid that one day he would wake up and follow the elder brother's path and be killed by the powerful minister Li Jishu.

Subconsciously, he grasped Liu Sheng even harder with his palm.

Liu Sheng felt the force on his palm, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.
