Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 338 Reset the Cochin Province (please subscribe!)
The effect of the native method of penicillin was gratifying. Within two weeks, Zhu Tiangui was able to get out of bed alive and kicking.

In this era, people's drug resistance is zero, as long as they are not allergic, penicillin is simply a magic drug.

As soon as Zhu Tiangui regained his vitality, he applied to Zhu Kezang every day to join the Annan battlefield.

Why?

Because he was afraid that Liu Guoxuan would become the first admiral of the Ming Dynasty before him.

Of course, Zhu Kezang disagreed. If half of the Guangdong Fleet can handle things, let the Minhai Fleet also go. Isn’t this a waste of money?
Moreover, Annan's war is almost over.

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony in Yingtian Mansion, Zhu Ke Zangzheng discussed the war in Annan with the Chinese officials, generals, and scholars of the True Confucianism.

Since the Allied Forces of the Ming Dynasty entered Annan, Zhu Kezang received good news from Qin Zhiguo almost every day.

What Zhu Kezang needs to worry about now is how to take over Annan after Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, Zhu Kezang fully absorbed the lessons of the Yongle and Xuande dynasties in governing Annan, and paid special attention to the appointment of officials.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty lost Annan in the Xuande Dynasty was due to the corrupt rule of local officials.

Most of those dogs came from the neighboring provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan. Their purpose was not to manage the newly established Jiaozhi Province (Jiaozhi Chief Envoy) for Ming Dynasty, but to make a fortune.

After these officials came to Annan, most of them took corruption and money-raising as their top priority, resulting in poor governance and rampant corruption in the Annan area, and the people of Annan suffered unspeakably.

The eunuch Ma Qi’s excessive levies and plunders in the Annan area, such as the collection of peacock tails, these eunuchs and civil officials collected [-] peacock tails from the local people every year.

Such actions made the local people miserable, and led to continuous rebellion in the Annan area. Daming fell into the long-term attrition war of the Annan anti-Ming uprising, and was so tired of coping that it directly withdrew its troops and gave up Annan during the Xuande period.

Although many ministers objected when he was about to abandon Annan during the Xuande period, Zhu Zhanji gave up with the final word. The reason why he wanted to give up was because Annan was a small place, and Ming spent nearly 30 years in quelling the rebellion. , Costing countless financial and material resources, but did not get much benefit from Annan.

He is a new king, and there is still a Mongolian rebellion on the northern border. If he wants to continue fighting with the Annan rebels, he does not know how much manpower and financial resources will be needed. This may be a wise decision.

After all, Annan's guerrilla warfare in later generations was a headache for even the largest power.

"Report, Annan emergency battle report!"

The battle report came from outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Qiu Hui, Minister of the Ministry of War, received the report and presented it to the imperial court.

Zhu Kezang took the battle report, opened it directly in front of the courtiers, took out the letterhead inside and read it.

There is no suspense in capturing Annan, and Zhu Kezang hopes to see better news in the military newspaper.

All the ministers of His Highness craned their necks, wanting to know what was said in the battle report urgently sent to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After a while, Zhu Kezang suddenly laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha, Zheng Gen, the Annan thief, was so scared that he died on the spot when he saw our Da Ming Army appearing at the foot of Shenglong City!"

The ministers looked at each other, thinking to themselves how could Zheng Gen be so weak and frightened to death by Daming's army?

This is too incredible!
This brother is obviously not able to withstand pressure, how can he become the king of Dingnan.

Not to mention, he only took office in 1682, so it's normal that he doesn't exercise well.

It may also be some underlying disease!

Moreover, the Ming army is extremely strong, understandable!

Then, Zhu Kezang continued to look down, with a smile on his face again.

He held up a battle report: "The eldest son of the Zheng family surrendered the city, and the Ming army continued to march south. On March [-]th, troops were divided to capture fifteen large and small cities controlled by the Ruan bandits in Guangnan, and the capital of the Ruan bandits, Hue, was defeated. , Captured more than a hundred people including the puppet king of the Ruan family, generals and ministers, and sent them across the sea to Yingtian Mansion in a few days!"

Zhu Kezang said loudly proudly: "So far, the entire Annan territory has been completely pacified, with 48 prefectures, 180 counties, and 510 million households!"

Seeing that Emperor Zhu's expression changed from excited to calm, and then joyful again, the moods of the ministers also changed accordingly.

Liu Dian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to jump out and shouted: "The pacification of Annan is all thanks to the emperor's wise decision-making and proper command. The frontline soldiers have fulfilled their mission and fought hard to kill the enemy! My congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to Daming!"

The ministers shouted together: "Congratulations to the emperor! Congratulations to Daming!"

Some civil servants who are good at diction stood up alone and said something gratifying and congratulatory.

They don't forget to use their solid cultural foundation to slap Emperor Zhu's fart, and praise what a wise decision Emperor Zhu made to conquer Annan.

After Zhu Kezang accepted the compliments and congratulations from the civil and military officials, he gradually put away his smug smile.

He got up from the throne and asked all the princes present: "My dear friends, since Annan has been pacified, tell me, what should Ming do with the land of Annan?"

Although I already have a draft in my heart, I still have to ask the opinions of the ministers symbolically. Emperor Zhu is still relatively democratic.

Liu Dian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was the first to jump out and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is natural to remove the name of Annan, restore Jiaozhi Province, re-establish prefectures and counties within its territory, send officials to govern it, and restore the land of Annan. Put it under my Ming rule!"

Prime Minister Chen Yonghua also agreed: "Many people in Annan are descendants of our Han people, and they are dedicated to the Ming Dynasty. This is also an act in line with public opinion!"

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal!"

Yang Ying, Minister of the Household Department, also stood up slowly to express his support. He said: "Annan, no matter the tribe or the sea area, must be included in our Ming territory, otherwise the achievements of tens of thousands of soldiers will be wiped out!"

The entire Hall of Supreme Harmony was overwhelmingly one-sided. They all supported the removal of the country and the establishment of provinces against Annan, and no one came out to oppose it.

Unless there are Koreans present, there will be no opposition.

Why do Koreans object?

Because they also want to join Ming Dynasty, this Annan and Gaoli are competitors in a sense, they are all competing for the title of Little China.

Zhu Kezang saw that everyone had expressed their opinions, so he opened his mouth and said: "You dear friends are right. In order to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the land of Annan and the stability of the generations, I am determined to follow the example of Emperor Chengzu, except Annan Kingdom, and resettle the prefectures and counties. Officials stationed in the imperial court directly govern."

On March 22, the fourth year of Shenwu, Zhu Kezang officially issued an edict, announcing the abolition of the Annan Kingdom, renamed Jiaozhi Province, and governed 41 prefectures, 210 states, and [-] counties.

At the same time, Wang Fuzhi was ordered to serve as the first governor of Jiaozhi Province, guard Annan, promote enlightenment, and spread true Confucianism.

Since the Xuande Dynasty, Jiaozhi has been independent for more than 200 years, and finally returned to the embrace of Ming Dynasty!
