The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

If Ming wants to develop, then Nanyang is the first choice.

For Zhu Ying, the whole of Nanyang will inevitably fall under the direct rule of Ming Dynasty in his lifetime.

There is no doubt about it.

Because only Nanyang can renew Daming's life.

The recent weather has been getting colder and colder. Although it has not yet reached an area that seriously affects people's livelihood, Zhu Ying understands that the Little Ice Age is already beginning.

There have been four Little Ice Ages in history, and the four dynasties were destroyed along with them.

The first time was from the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties to the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the second time was from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the third time was from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the fourth time is now.

Of course, the most serious time, there are still 100 years to start.

From the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty.

This kind of natural disaster cannot be changed by Zhu Ying, but can only be overcome by finding a way.

Even high-yielding crops have no chance of surviving such extreme weather.

Such extreme cold is completely unsuitable for survival. People and animals will be directly frozen to death, which is far beyond imagination.

Historically, Taihu Lake, Panyang Lake, Dongting Lake, and Huaihe River all froze.

Xiahan, Xiashuangxue are commonplace in such extreme weather, and it is not uncommon.

Even a place like Hainan, which has never seen snow, will be snowed heavily.

From the north to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be frozen.

Under such circumstances, no matter which dynasty it is, it will be subject to great turmoil, and there is almost no possibility of avoiding extinction.

And by that time, Zhu Ying had already been buried in the ground, and there was no way to control it.

Hoarding food or something is also nonsense.

A hundred years is a serious disaster, and it will continue to be affected for hundreds of years to come.

Even the black land in Liaodong could not save Daming, it was all frozen.

Even if Zhu Ying is still alive, there is no way to conjure food.

Now that the population of Ming Dynasty is growing rapidly, the demand will only increase. For the sake of future generations, Nanyang must be taken down.

Under such an environment, only tropical areas like Nanyang will not have much impact. After all, they are small glaciers, and the whole world will not be frozen.

The development of the grain industry in the entire Nanyang region is the life guarantee of Ming Dynasty in the future.

"His Royal Highness really said that he should go to Chenla."

Cao Zhen excitedly confirmed again and again.

I didn't expect to be able to go to Nanyang just after returning from the grassland. This is a great thing.

For military generals, being idle at home is the greatest insult, and their fame is to be obtained immediately.

Moreover, the power of the generals is also in the army. Although they are enjoying the wealth and honor when they return to the capital, they always feel a little tasteless.

"This time, the grandson asked me to bring [-] soldiers. It doesn't seem like many, but there is still my Daming Navy in Nanyang, and now Annan is under my control. The trip to Chenla is obviously not that much. Simple."

"His Royal Highness wants me to act as a forward, first test the situation in Chenla, and even station in Chenla, and wait and see what happens."

Sapphire analyzed and said.

Cao Zhen was a little indifferent: "It's fine if you can lead troops out. Although it's fun to come back for a few days, it's not a problem to stay here."

"Anyway, go out and listen to the Duke."

Sapphire shook her head helplessly.

Situations like Cao Zhen's are the manifestations of the current generals, who are afraid that the grandson will not take him with him.

The most worrying thing is that the bows and arrows are stored in the warehouse, and the horses are released to Nanshan.

It's not that the capital is not good now, it's just that it's too lively and prosperous, on the contrary, many generals can't get used to it.

In two years, after these nobles who were abroad returned to the Daming capital again, it felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

The rapid changes make people uneasy. It seems that there is no familiarity here, but strangeness.

That's why they worry about changes in power and hope to play their role.

Zhu Ying is playing a big game of chess.

He wants to move the Han population to the Nanyang region on a large scale.

Only in this way can you cultivate farmland on a larger scale and increase production.

As for the black land, it may only be developed for decades.

After the Little Ice Age, it can no longer be used, and people have to find ways to migrate to Nanyang.

The weather in Daming is getting colder every year.

In the Jingshi Mansion newspaper, many pages began to describe things about Nanyang.

For example, the warm weather, the ability to grow food for four seasons a year, and various beautiful descriptions.

This method is somewhat common in later generations, and the use of soft texts gradually affects most of the people.

In the current Daming, Zhu Ying, who controls such an artifact of public opinion as the Di Bao, will certainly not let go of such an opportunity.

The Ministry of War also felt a headache after receiving Taisun's signal.

"In three years, 30 troops have been garrisoned, and 300 million people have been relocated. Taisun is really going to make a move this time."

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu felt a little headache, including the left and right servants of the Ministry of War, or other principals, and did not expect the grandson to think so.

"This, does Your Majesty know, can you agree to such a thing?" Ni Qi, the left servant of the Ministry of War, couldn't help asking.

Ni Qi is not a Han, but a Mongol.

It's just blood, after all, they are already 40 years old, have never been to the grasslands, and have always grown up in the Central Plains.

It belongs to the legacy of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

"Your Majesty must have agreed to such an important matter. Just yesterday there was an order to let Duke Liang lead [-] troops to Chenla. It seems that our future direction is mainly in the Nanyang region."

"The grandson probably wants to take down Annan completely. There are many aborigines there. Only by moving our Ming people there can we control it better."

Ru Xun analyzed and said.

For the Ministry of War, it is very important to have a deep understanding of His Royal Highness' orders.

There are many mysteries and taboos hidden here.

Although due to the influence of some factors such as the Daming Military Academy and the separation of the military and the government, the power of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has fallen, while the power of the Ministry of War is rising.

If it is placed in any dynasty, this is a good thing for the Ministry of War.

But now, it's hard to say.

His Majesty is still here, especially concerned about military power. Once there is something related to military power, he might lose his head.

So many heroes who founded the country are the best examples. Those who involve military power, few have a good life.

What the Ministry of War can do is to try to figure out His Highness Taisun's intentions, which can satisfy Taisun in terms of troop deployment.

Whether it is for a strong general or a weak soldier, or which guard to transfer, all have particular considerations.

If Taisun wants to attack Liang Guogong, then the previous subordinates cannot be allowed to follow.

If Taisun really wanted Duke Liang to handle the matter, then he would naturally have to recruit elite soldiers and strong generals.

The list of elected commanders is what the Ministry of War must do.

After some discussion and analysis, Ru Xun decided to look at Duke Liang's own opinion and choose the generals who followed him.

Annan Dongdu, Shenglong City.

This is where the royal family of Annan is located, and it is also the most prosperous city in Annan.

After Hu Jiyao was taken away from the capital, the counter-insurgency in Annan ended.

But Ming's army did not withdraw, but set up defenses in major cities.

Obviously, Annan will basically live under Daming's control in the future.

The Annan royal family currently only retains a name, and has no real power other than that.

Naturally, all the separatist forces in those places surrendered to Daming. Of course, such submission was only in name, and it would be hard to say when the Ming army left.

"Tell them, I won't see you, and no one will see you. Let them live a good life and stop thinking about it."

Annan Wang Chen Yong, once the Supreme Emperor, of course can only be called the king now.

Listening to the guards saying that there are several veteran officials outside asking to see him, Chen Yong refused without thinking about it.

Their thoughts, Chen Yong didn't understand why, they just wanted to pull themselves out and seek more power for themselves.

I don't even think about it, Annan has changed, and the general trend is the same, so what can be changed.

This year alone, there are thousands of officials from Ming Dynasty, and almost all important official positions on Annan's side have been replaced by officials from Ming Dynasty.

The local army is okay, but the imperial guards have existed in name only.

The Ming Dynasty established the Annan Military Academy. Only by passing the training and assessment of the Ming army can they continue to serve as soldiers, otherwise they will be disbanded and used as labor labor to do construction and farming.

The most important thing is that a large number of Han people migrated to Annan to stabilize the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Whether it is Chen Yong or these veterans, they are very clear about Daming's current thoughts, but who can do anything about it.

Could it be possible to confront Daming?
Chen Yong is not that stupid.

If Hu Jishu had succeeded in the past, nothing would have happened to him, at least now there is no lack of prosperity and wealth, and the most basic decency is also there, which is enough.

Although the royal palace is reserved, most of the area has been occupied by Daming for discussion purposes.

Chen Yong is only in the bedroom.

The whole of Annan, besides Liu Sheng, is now Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi felt much more comfortable in Annan than he was in Japan, at least there was nothing to be too afraid of.

Liu Sheng is now in his eighties. Although his body is still healthy, his energy cannot keep up.

Except for some general matters, the basic affairs are handed over to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi is a descendant of the royal family, and in terms of status, he is the most noble in Annan.

Whether it is Jingning Hou Yesheng or Puding Hou Chen Huan, the two generals who are now stationed in Annan, they have to give Zhu Gaochi some face.

It's just that Zhu Gaochi has changed a lot now. He is much thinner than when he was in Japan, and at the same time, he has changed from white and fat to black and fat.

After all, it is tropical, so if you stay for a little longer, you will get tanned.

In today's world without sunscreen, no one can avoid this.

"Sir, the natives of Annan are the most lazy people I have ever seen. Compared with the Wa country, the difference is too great."

On the Annan official road, thousands of elite soldiers surrounded a carriage and drove slowly.

It was Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji who were on the carriage.

It has been more than half a year since Zhu Gaochi came to Annan. During this half a year, he did not choose to stay in the rich eastern capital of Thang Long and the western capital of Thanh Hoa.

Instead, he followed Xia Yuanji's suggestion and personally inspected most of the Annan area.

The end of the paper is so shallow that I know that this matter must be carried out.

Zhu Gaochi himself is very lazy, after all, he is so fat, but he still persisted.

If you want to manage a place, you can't just listen to other people's advice. In this way, you can't understand the real situation and make wrong decisions easily.

"There are abundant products here. Rice is harvested three to four times a year, and the rain is abundant, so there is no need for a lot of irrigation. Therefore, the people of Annan are naturally not as hardworking as the people of Daming."

Xia Yuanji was on the carriage, flipping the abacus with one hand, and making records on paper with the other.

Hearing His Highness Shizi's words, he said casually without raising his head.

Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't care about these somewhat disrespectful behaviors.

These days, Xia Yuanji is much busier than Zhu Gaochi.

As the prince, he mainly sees and understands.

But Xia Yuanji is different.

He will record in detail the food reserves in each place, the personnel situation of the indigenous tribes, including the planting of food in each place.

The more he understood Annan, the more shocked Xia Yuanji was.

In the barren land he had stereotyped, the grain output was even unmatched by Ming Dynasty.

This is beyond Xia Yuanji's cognition.

If the monarchs of the Central Plains Dynasty knew that these grains were so abundant, they would have been unable to resist leading troops to fight them.

In fact, whether it is Annan or other countries in Southeast Asia, they are really not weak. After all, they are not very short of food, so they can support enough soldiers.

The reason why Daming was able to obtain Annan so easily was mainly because of Annan's previous separatist regime.

In history, when Zhu Di fought Annan, he was not forcibly conquering Annan, but helping the Chen Dynasty against the Hu Dynasty. In the eyes of most Annan nobles, he was a righteous teacher who brought order out of chaos.

Even if Annan was ruled in the end, it was because of the extinct heirs of the Chen Dynasty, the veterans of the Chen Dynasty in Annan, and the old officials' request that "the original ancient county" changed Annan to Jiaozhi.

Zhu Ying's actions are similar in purpose.

It is because Annan Anxiu Princess Chen Muyue is a concubine who responded to the request of the Annan royal family and sent troops to help the Annan royal family stabilize their rule.

Later, it was also because of Hu Jishu's rebellion that he imprisoned the Annan royal family and murdered the Ming army, so he sent a large army to eliminate Annan.

This is the teacher of justice, so he can get the support of most of the people and nobles in Annan.

Otherwise, if Annan is united as one, even if it can be forcibly attacked, it will take a lot of money.

Even now, it is nominally still ruled by the Annan royal family, and a large number of Ming Dynasty officials came here just to help Annan better restore people's livelihood.

Most of the struggle for power took place in the eastern and western capitals of Annan. In most other areas, there were basically no large-scale uprisings.

Of course, there were sporadic resistances, and they were not because of Hu Jishu or the like, but mainly because of the competition for interests.

After all, local officials are being constantly infiltrated, especially Zhu Gaochi's local inspections, without a thousand or two thousand elite soldiers, it is really easy to have problems.
