Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 266: The plan cannot keep up with the changes, the border is pushed southward, and the territory is expanded!
Xia Xun started formulating this plan at the end of February.

Years later, the capital gradually recruited troops in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and they were trained by Wang Wen.

After Xia Xun left the capital, the emperor gave him an order to mobilize two thousand troops from Wang Wen for future use.

When the troops were first trained, the emperor was worried that the Guangxi wolf soldiers did not understand orders and flag language, and would be difficult to deploy. If Annan, Luchuan, Ava and other countries raided the border, they would not be able to rely on them.

Therefore, Wang Wen was ordered to train troops with mainly local Han people who were familiar with mountain warfare.

Of course, it was also to prepare for the conquest of Yunnan Chieftain.

In order not to arouse the chieftain's suspicion, Wang Wen trained a total of 3000 people and allocated two thousand to Xia Xun.

When Xia Xun left the capital, he kept thinking that Annan would not obediently provide food. He had to find a way to take the initiative to transport food in from Annan.

At that time, the court wanted to set up markets in Fenmaoling and other three places.

He transported soldiers to Annan little by little, and in March, the court and Annan reached an agreement, and the Ming Dynasty sent a large number of merchants to Annan to purchase.

This gave him an opportunity.

After he dispersed 2000 people, he acted as a guard for the Royal Merchant Company and entered Annan.

The Royal Merchant Company deliberately took the land route, and the continuous traffic was very slow. It took more than a month to reach the vicinity of Hongji.

After receiving Xia Xun's letter.

They began to move closer to Hongji, and the long queue began to turn around. Two thousand soldiers, plus spies and personnel from the royal trading house, nearly 5000 people, entered Hongji.

The small Hongji County town cannot accommodate so many people.

Xia Xun was built along the water and built two cities.

Two cities rose from the ground, and the nearby Annan officials didn't even know!
It was already half a month later when Annan officials learned that Hongji had been captured by unknown persons.

But the new emperor massacred the court, and the central government was in chaos, and there was no time to reply.

During this delay, two new cities were built.

The materials for building the city were brought from Tonggan City. Xia Xun sent troops to occupy Tonggan, then demolished the city and moved it here.

The wolf soldiers sent by Fang Ying also entered Hongji one after another.

With Hongji as the center, the three cities rely on each other and rely on each other.

But more and more people are coming, and there is nowhere to accommodate them.

What left Xia Xun most speechless was that Annan Chaotang seemed to be dead and there was no movement. He had conquered three or four cities, but Annan Chaotang showed no response.

Simply, we took Halong and occupied it directly without demolishing it.

Those who came later were placed in Halong.

Ha Long is also a coastal city.

Watching Mingren enter Ha Long City.

The pirates at sea have been fooled. If you don't transport food, why are you attacking the city?Come to the sea quickly, let's have a showdown.

After occupying several more small cities, Xia Xun stopped attacking the city.

The small An Le city near Ha Long was demolished and another city was built in the direction of Hong Gai near the sea.

In this way, the entire Hongji was surrounded, and food and ships were stored in Hongji City.

Three cities were built around it.

The Ming army was stationed in the three cities.

Liao Zhuang, Zhong Tong, and Xu Zheng, who were in charge of the procurement by the Royal Commercial Bank, each guarded a city.

As for Ha Long City, too many Ming troops came over and the three cities could not accommodate them, so Ha Long was captured and relocated.

All the Annan men were driven away, leaving the women behind to form a military camp.

The Ming army always set up this camp when fighting at home, and it was even more unscrupulous abroad. All women were recruited, regardless of age.

Xia Xun managed the army strictly.

In his spare time, he organized soldiers to train.

The three people in Liao Zhuang were all Jinshi. Zhong Tong's father, Zhong Fu, was a famous minister and was buried in Tumu Fort. Xu Zheng and Han Yong were good friends.

Although not a top talent.

But they are all upright men, and they are meticulous in their military training, which is remarkable.

Xu Zheng, in particular, has a lot of experience in military training. He doesn't care about the distinction between wolf soldiers and Han people.

Xia Xun completely delegated his power and handed over nearly [-] soldiers to three people for training.

Pan Benyu was walking around in the temporary public office: "This time things are going big!"

"Master Pan, stop wandering around."

Xia Xun is organizing people to dry the grain. The weather in Annan is humid and the grain is difficult to store. Moreover, the rainy season is coming soon. The grain must be transported back to the country before the rainy season.

"Master Xia, your Majesty's imperial edict is for ministers to cause chaos in Annan, but he did not say that he wanted to recover Jiaozhi!" Pan Benyu panicked.

Fang Ying sent more than 1 people.

There are also wolf soldiers coming in one after another, and they are sent in larger and larger groups. Before, the small groups were broken up and sent over.

Because the wolf soldiers lost many teams, Fang Ying decided to form a team of 2000 people and follow the caravan into Annan.

The key point is that the Annan government is in chaos and no one is taking care of it.

Fang Ying tasted the sweetness and kept sending troops here.

"We just occupy a space to transport food." Xia Xun also felt that the plan was messed up.

To occupy Hongji, they only needed to transport grain back to the country by land.

But Fang Ying seems to have gone too far.

More than 1 people were sent, and the letter said that there were still ten teams of soldiers who had gone abroad.

That’s 4 people!
No matter how chaotic the Annan Center is, they will not tolerate Hongji, who is hundreds of miles away from the royal capital, guarding [-] Ming troops!
Besides, what are you going to do?

"Master Xia, are you still deceiving yourself?"

"Why did you ask Liao Zhuang and others to train their soldiers to adapt to the local climate?"

"You also promised the soldiers to find ten Annan women for them."

"You also promised that each of them would receive a hundred cents when they return to China, is that what you said?"

Pan Benyu asked him: "Have you obtained His Majesty's consent?"

"You just want to allocate territory to the soldiers without authorization?"

"Besides, how could the Ming Dynasty give them so much land?"

"I can see through what you are thinking at a glance!"

Pan Benyu lowered his voice: "You just want to live in Hongji and encroach on the Annan territory bit by bit!"

Xia Xun said, do you really believe me?
It was all an accident and a misunderstanding.

Pan Benyu didn’t believe it.

The most frightening thing is that the people in Annan who were dispersed spread word of mouth that the Ming army had captured Hongji, and the news spread like wildfire.

The people of Annan are afraid, but the people of Ming Dynasty are happy.

Those merchants from the Ming Dynasty who were preparing to return to China turned to Hongji instead.

Treating Hongji as a base, I want to exchange the money I earn into banknotes and take them back home.

Large numbers of merchants gathered in Hongji.

Xia Xun obviously just wanted to transport grain back to China, but the merchants thought that the court was going to regain Jiaozhi, so they used Hongji as a base, transporting goods here and depositing money here.

Have you misunderstood?

Xia Xun was speechless.

And in Hanoi.

Li Yimin didn't believe it at first. How could the Ming Dynasty conquer Hongji across hundreds of miles?
Impossible!

The Political Council didn't believe it either.

Unable to bear the large number of refugees, the county magistrates of Anle and Tonggan reported to the Political Council.

"Li Yin, are you harming me?"

Li Yimin's first thought was caused by the powerful minister.

I want to ruin the relationship between Li Yimin and Daming!

Let his throne be unstable!

"The old minister is wronged!"

Li Yinzhen, a Japanese dog, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty has ordered the envoys of the Ming Dynasty to come and ask."

Li Yimin was doubtful.

As a result, Byeon Yong denied it, saying it was absolutely impossible!

He really didn't know.

Xia Xun's plan was top secret. Even Fang Ying didn't know about it. How could Bian Yong, who was far away in Hanoi, know about it?
Xia Xun himself didn't know that a key plan had gone astray. How could Bian Yong know?

"It must be the Li Yin dog thief!"

"You want me to lose the favor of the Ming Emperor!"

"I must expose his conspiracy!"

That night, he sent Li Yin's imperial edict to the palace to read it.

Seeing Li Yimin smiling and preparing a sumptuous meal, he always felt something was wrong.

Li Yimin said nothing about Hongji being captured.

There was still a spring breeze smile on his face: "Li Qing, which of my sons do you think can be the prince?"

"Your Majesty, the eldest son has always inherited the throne from ancient times to the present. I can only appoint your eldest son!"

Li Yimin glanced at him: "When my father dethroned me as the crown prince, why didn't you advise him?"

Li Yin's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizong insisted on going his own way at that time. I tried to persuade him, but it was of no use."

"So, it's Emperor Taizong's fault?" Li Yimin asked him.

Can the emperor be wrong?

Li Yin knelt on the ground: "It's my fault, it's my fault!"

"your fault?"

Li Yimin stood up from the desk: "Then tell me, what's wrong?"

Li Yin was still sorting out his words.

Clap!

Li Yimin suddenly hit his head with a porcelain plate.

Immediately, blood flowed horizontally.

Li Yin screamed and looked at Li Yimin in disbelief.

But Li Yimin took a piece of porcelain and stabbed it hard on his throat.

Immediately, blood spattered!

Li Yin's eyes widened: "You, you are so violent, how can you become the emperor?"

"Li Yin, you are indeed disrespectful to me!"

"Why can't I become emperor?"

"why!"

Li Yimin had a ferocious look on his face and slapped it hard, piercing the porcelain piece deeper.

"You, you started a rebellion and killed loyal ministers, you will not end well!" Li Yin never imagined that Li Yimin would dare to kill him!
Although Li Yimin killed indiscriminately, all he killed were small shrimps, and none of the powerful officials were touched.

It shows that Li Yimin is not crazy yet.

But today, he went crazy...

Li Yimin suddenly smiled: "Didn't you help me stand up?"

"Didn't you open the palace gate for me? Otherwise, how could I enter the imperial city?"

"Isn't it you who made me ascend the throne?"

"How come you forgot so quickly?"

His laughter became louder and louder: "Master Li, if you want to be Sima Yi, I am Cao Mao, not Cao Fang! Hahaha!"

And Li Yin's eyes flashed with regret, he never expected that an emperor with such great ambition would come to him.

He is not as introverted as Li Jun. Like a tyrant, he uses killing as a means and is unwilling to compromise.

This kind of person will not end well.

No matter how many times I calculated, I never expected that I would die...

puff!
Li Yimin pulled out the porcelain piece and blood spurted several feet away.

Li Yin clutched his throat and fell softly to the ground, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Li Yimin wiped the blood with silk, then threw the silk away, and suddenly screamed: "How dare Li Yin assassinate me!"

He opened his palm, and there were wounds cut by porcelain shards on his palm.

Then he fell flat on the ground.

When it was reported in the palace that Li Yin had been assassinated, the political council collectively exclaimed, and Ruan Chi and Ding Lie were shocked.

now.

Bian Yong is discussing with Lu Gao.

"Master Bian, I estimate that this matter is true."

Although Lu Gao didn't know who Xia Xun was, he knew the emperor.

The emperor's ambitions were astonishingly great.

Just look at Bian Yong and you will know that envoys sent abroad can be given the greatest autonomy without any regard at home.

This is something that no emperor can do, and it also shows the emperor's terrifying self-confidence.

There is no fear at all that Bian Yong will lead a rebellion of 5000 people.

Xia Xun, that is the emperor's confidant.

The emperor could give Bian Yong the greatest authority, and the authority he could give Xia Xun would definitely be greater than Bian Yong.

"how is this possible?"

"Master Xia conquered Hongji?"

"What does he want to do? Rebellion and self-reliance?" Bian Yong was shocked.

Lu Gao smiled bitterly: "Sir, Xia Xun's men are all Han, and his family members are all in the Ming Dynasty. Will they follow Xia Xun in rebellion?"

You are a very smart person, why don't you use your brain?
"Then why did he want to conquer Hongji?"

Bian Yongsheng said angrily: "How close is Hongji to Hanoi? What is he going to do?"

Lu Gao asked him to calm down.

Bian Yong couldn't calm down.

Once it is confirmed that the Ming army really captured Hongji, the Ming envoys in Hanoi will become prisoners.

His personal safety is not important, there are still three thousand soldiers outside the city!

Should we let them fight their way out of Hanoi?

How many people can survive?
Why didn't Xia Xun think about the difficulties here?If you make a decision without authorization, you will definitely consult His Majesty after returning home!
"Sir, think about it, Li Yimin is really willing to give up six thousand ships of food?"

Lu Gao didn't believe it: "Li Yimin must have sold two."

"Trick us in and make a lot of money again."

"Otherwise, where would he get the money to comfort the army?"

"We can't just see how many people he killed, but also how many people he comforted?"

"Where did all the money come from?"

"Speaks for itself."

Lu Gao's words reminded Bian Yong.

Bian Yong had never noticed this detail before.

Li Yimin can do whatever he wants to do.

"Master Lu, do you mean that the grain transport ship encountered a crisis and had to dock?" Bian Yong asked.

Lu Gao nodded: "With the capabilities of our Ming army, 2000 people can conquer several cities. Annan is famous for its dangers. As long as we cross a hundred thousand mountains and have sufficient supplies, what does Annan mean?"

Bian Yong felt that Lu Gao was right, and his eyes grew stern: "If King Annan deceives the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely argue with him clearly!"

Just talking.

Then news came that Li Yin had been killed.

Bian Yong was shocked: "It's over, the situation in Annan is going to be chaotic again!"

Looking at the situation in the court, Lu Gao is far inferior to Bian Yong.

He humbly asked.

"This King Annan was appointed by a powerful minister. Before, he cleaned the court and installed party members, but he never killed the powerful minister."

Bian Yong explained the situation to him: "But King Annan went crazy and killed the powerful ministers. Annan's weak balance was broken."

"The powerful minister will definitely break up with King Annan."

"When two tigers fight, one will be hurt."

"Let's see, King Annan's good days are coming to an end!"

But Bian Yong thought of himself and sighed: "I guess the eunuchs from the palace have already come to issue an edict to me."

really.

As soon as he finished speaking, his followers came to report.

Lu Gao was slightly startled: "Sir, the more chaotic the situation in Annan is, the safer Hongji will be."

Bian Yong nodded: "I know that I and Xia Xun are grasshoppers on the same rope."

"When the situation in Annan becomes chaotic, the soldiers in our hands will become valuable."

"Xia Xun is stationed in Hongji, and the power in his hands has become a bargaining chip in our hands. We may not be unable to talk to King Annan."

"Now that the matter has reached this point, I will delay it as long as I can."

"I hope Xia Xun will live up to the great trust of this official!"

Bian Yong is about to dance on the tip of the knife.

His life and death were in Xia Xun's hands.

Lu Gao bowed deeply to him.

Lu Gao was convinced by Bian Yong's broad-mindedness.

Bian Yong returned the favor and helped Xia Xun to save himself.

Say it.

He then entered the palace with the eunuch who announced the decree.

In order for Li Yimin to kill Li Yin, he must recruit Daming to join the gang and ask the Emperor of Daming to endorse him.

Otherwise, he would not be able to deal with powerful officials.

After he finished the killing, he felt a little regretful, but since he had been in power for more than two months and had the Imperial Guard and Beijing Camp in hand, he could give it a try.

He wanted to take advantage of the Ming army and use it to kill powerful officials.

This needs to benefit the Ming army.

Killing Li Yin, the Li Yin family has a lot of money, and using this money to bribe Bian Yong may be enough.

After Bianyong entered the palace to salute.

Li Yimin asked people to close the palace door and send all the servants out.

Then he knelt on the ground and said, "Please ask the envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven to save the little king!"

Bian Yong was startled. Who was he showing this cruel trick to?

"Your Highness, please rise!"

Bian Yong did not dare to accept this great gift.

Li Yimin cried and put on a show, then stood up and began to negotiate terms: "Master Bian, Li Yin bullied the little king too much, so he killed him by the wrong hand."

"Xiao Wang asks to go to the country to help Xiao Wang."

"Xiao Wang is willing to offer all the belongings of the Li Yin family with both hands, please accept them!"

Bian Yong smiled like a traitor: "That's easy to say."

Upon hearing this, Bian Yong accepted the money.

Li Yimin struck while the iron was hot: "Xiao Wang asked your Excellency to lead the Ming army and kill Ruan Chi, Ding Lie and more than ten people. The Xiao Wang will not take any of their family assets, and they will all belong to Your Excellency."

Bian Yong found that Li Yimin was particularly naive sometimes.

This person is cunning, sinister, but also very naive, and likes to spend small amounts of money to do big things.

Playing clever tricks, using tricks that can be seen by others, to trick others into doing things for him, and then they will definitely turn against them and deny them recognition.

Such people would not survive a day if they went to the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, I am not willing to help you unless I am a humble minister."

Bian Yong refused: "But the humble minister has no right to mobilize soldiers..."

"Although I will not accept the order of the foreign king, the rules are the rules, and I dare not break them."

"After all, Wei Chen's family members are all in the capital."

This remark left a living mouth.

Li Yimin understood: "Everything in Annan is up to you to pick."

"Wei Chen needs to think about it."

Li Yimin is not in a hurry. As long as he can hold Daming down, he will be sure of victory.

He was furious because the Ming army captured Hongji.

Now I feel lucky that if this group of Ming soldiers can be used by him, he can wipe out any powerful officials in one fell swoop.

Anyway, Annan's chicken ribs were tasteless. Daming wanted to eat them but found them boring.

As long as he uses some benefits to satisfy the Ming Emperor's appetite, his throne will be completely secure and he will be able to become a powerful monarch, like Emperor Taizu.

His father, Emperor Taizong Li Yuanlong, died inexplicably.

He died suddenly in the prime of life, and the cause of death has always been a mystery.

He also killed his younger brother Li Jun and became a regicide, so he was worried that he would not end well either.

Therefore, he urgently needs real power and complete imperial power.

So he went on a killing spree, cleansed the court, and killed Li Yin. He asked for directions by throwing stones to see the reaction of the ministers, and tried to kill all the powerful officials as quickly as possible.

"Alas!" Li Yimin sighed quietly.

He knew that Bian Yong would definitely come into contact with powerful officials.

But the powerful officials will definitely not be able to offer this price.

In his opinion, Ming ministers like Bian Yong who were sent as envoys were all people who were unsuccessful in the Ming Dynasty. They were far from being prominent in the court, and all they lacked was money.

In the Ming Dynasty, just like Annan, the rich were at the top and the poor at the bottom.

As long as Bian Yong agrees to him, the Bian family will become a wealthy family, and it will be just around the corner for Bian Yong to take over the center of the Ming court.

Therefore, he determined that Bian Yong would lean towards him.

Use Bian Yong to contact the Ming army stationed in Hongji and make it his support. He can give Bian Yong and Xia Xun whatever they have in Annan.This line of Bianyong can be made longer.

He supported Bian Yong with money and became the leader of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, he could manipulate Bian Yong to influence the situation of the Ming Dynasty.

A series of plans formed in Li Yimin's mind.

really.

Bian Yong talked secretly with Ding Lie again.

He was good at dancing in the Annan Center.

Xia Xun trained his soldiers in Hongji, and then built Tonggan City.

More and more people are coming and there is no place to stay.

More and more business travelers are gathering.

Hong Kai actually became a commercial center.

There were actually many Annan people who wanted to join the army, but Xia Xun refused.

At the end of April, Fang Ying arrived late.

With Hongji as the center, more than ten nearby cities were occupied by the Ming army. The Ming army numbered more than [-], nearly [-] merchants, plus guards, etc., and there were actually [-] Han people gathered.

The Annan center has never responded.

It seems that Hongji has not been occupied.

"Governor Fang, how should this end?" Xia Xun smiled bitterly.

Fang Ying spread her hands: "You did it all, how could I know how it would end?"

Xia Xun wanted to cry, but the report sent to the center had not been sent back yet.

He can't end it now.

The biggest problem is the weather. In May, Annan will enter the rainy season. It will definitely be impossible to transport. Storage is also a big problem.

It’s May in a blink of an eye.

This day has become increasingly bad, especially at the seaside, where typhoons can hit at any time, making food storage even more dangerous.

Or take a desperate risk and ship the grain back to the country before May.

But the pirates are still floating on the sea.

They are anxious, and so are the pirates, waiting for someone to lose their composure first.

Or break the pot and occupy the northern part of Annan, open a channel with the country, and transport it back to the country.

But after all, we have to wait until after the rainy season.

"Hahaha!"

Fang Ying laughed: "Don't worry, Sir Xia. His Majesty will definitely be happy when he sees your report."

That's right.

Zhu Qiyu was in the palace and laughed heartily: "Let me tell you, Xia Xun is a capable minister!"

The courtiers didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Changes are always faster than planned.

In March, it was planned to short Annan.

In April, there was another plan to buy and sell Annan's population.

In May, Hongji arrived. Six thousand ships of grain were parked in Hongji and could not be transported back to the country.

"Your Majesty, the army in the north has been organized, and they are just waiting for the rations!"

Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly.

On the way to North Korea, Wang Yue had already gone.

Mao Zhong, who was harassing the Jurchen tribe, has also sent troops.

They were just waiting to attack the two armies of Wuliangha. The key point was the lack of food. The emperor promised to use Annan's food to conquer Wuliangha, and there was no need to collect food from the people.

As a result, it’s May, where’s the food?

"Is there any food that can be allocated in the court?" Zhu Qiyu didn't know Xia Xun's plan.

Communication is really inconvenient.

He can only delegate power.

Let Xia Xun do whatever he wants, and then ask Xia Xun, Bian Yong, Lu Gao, Liao Zhuang and others to cooperate with each other. At the same time, he also asked Fang Ying to cooperate.

So this whole thing happened.

Both happy and helpless.

"Your Majesty, there is no food in the Ministry of Revenue." Geng Jiuchou said immediately.

Yao Kui smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty has reduced or reduced the grain tax for various places this year. The central government can't go back on its word, right?"

"Your Majesty, don't look at me. I can't get food." Bai Gui leaned back.

"I knew you couldn't do it, so I didn't let you do it."

Zhu Qiyu glared at him: "How about changing the attack to harassment?"

"We don't want Wu Liangha's land, so we'll give him a good beating. This will save food."

Then you said it earlier!

How much time did the court spend in discussing the candidate for Wu Liangha?

The key is that some people even accepted the gifts.

Now that you have changed your tune, what should we do with the gifts we received?

"Without food, I can't do anything."

"We can only send light cavalry to harass, burn the grasslands, plunder the population, etc."

"Consume Wu Liangha's strength as much as possible."

This is a commonplace.

Daming will do it almost every year.

"What do you think of the Annan matter?" Zhu Qiyu brought the topic back.

Yao Kui was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, May is the rainy season in Annan. It is estimated that food will not be transported back."

"According to what was written in Xia Xun's report, the Annan court did not control Hongji. This shows that the Annan court was in chaos and the central government was unable to control the place."

"Combined with Bian Yong's report."

"I estimate that the new master of Annan will be dead soon."

Yao Kui and Zhu Qiyu had similar thoughts.

The only fate for a tyrant is death.

"Yao Qing, do you want to take advantage of the chaos in Annan to do something in Annan?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the map of Jiaozhi Province.

The Annan map of the Ming Dynasty also says Jiaozhi.

Jiaozhi will always be a part of Han Dynasty and will never be separated.

"His Majesty!"

Yao Kui suddenly knelt on the ground: "I think we should take advantage of the opportunity to capture the northern part of Jiaozhi!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion in Yangxin Hall.

The important ministers were divided into two groups. One group believed that it insisted on provoking civil strife among the Annan countries and letting them conquer each other. In the end, the Ming Dynasty would reap the fruits of victory.

The other group believed that the political situation in Annan was in chaos, so they should simply overthrow Annan and take back Cochin.

Each has its own reason.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the map intently. If he took back the north of Hongji, Hanoi would be undefeated, and Annan would not sit idly by.

If Annan could be taken directly by force, Ming Dynasty could do it.

However, Guangxi has not yet completed immigration, and there is still a big thunder in Yunnan.

It is indeed a bit early to close Jiaozhi now.

Zhu Qiyu considered it and glanced at the ministers: "Geng Jiuchou, what do you think?"

"Wei Chen thought he couldn't accept it."

"Jiaozhi is still useless to the Ming Dynasty."

"Guangxi and Yunnan are not peaceful. Even if they are stopped, it will still be a source of disaster."

Geng Jiuchou said seriously: "The people of Annan do not recognize us as Han people, they only recognize themselves as Annan people."

"Unlike Yun Guang, the natives also think that they are from the Celestial Dynasty."

"The Ming Dynasty governed Annan across Yunguang, but it was not the same thing."

"It's better to plow Yunnan first, then collect Annan, reset Jiaozhi, and complete our Han territory!"

He agreed, but Bai Gui objected.

Bai Gui believed that this was a God-given opportunity. When the situation in Annan was over and Annan became as stable as Mount Tai, it would be very costly to send troops from Fenmaoling.

Not only will the army be lost, but a large amount of food will also be lost.

Six thousand ships of grain are now docked at Annam.

It is better to use this food to attack Annan.

In this way, it saves time, effort, money and food, which has many benefits.

Yue Zheng, Wang Fu, Ma Wensheng, Yu Zijun and others also held their own opinions.

"Xing Guogong, what do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian.

Yu Qian clapped his lips: "It's worthless!"

"If Annan is rich, Wei Chen thinks it is a godsend opportunity for annexation."

"The problem in Annan is poverty. It's a place where birds don't poop."

"We occupy so much, Ningxia, Rehe, Jilin, Hanzhou, as well as the original Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou, and add Jiaozhi, the pressure on the central center is too great."

"It's okay to occupy it and expand territory for future generations."

"I'm afraid that if we cultivate the land to maturity, the people of Annan will rebel. We will be grateful to the Ming Dynasty!"

Yu Qian was also in a dilemma: "The political turmoil in Annan is indeed a good opportunity for annexation. The problem is that there is no point in eating it."

The courtiers were talking incessantly.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't make a decision either: "Go and invite the old lady!"

We still have to let the veteran make the decision.

"Mr. Xing Guo is right. I also think Annan is a piece of chicken ribs. It's a pity to throw them away if they are tasteless."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I guess Li Yimin thinks so too."

"I know I am worthless, so I am not afraid of Ming Dynasty coveting me."

"Sometimes I am particularly bad, which is also a kind of protective color."

"I want to plot something, but I can't even bear to say it."

"What a pity. Annan changed so fast that I was caught off guard."

Zhu Qiyu's current governance is stable.

He is no longer as fussy and reckless as before.

Nowadays, he has become introverted, thinks twice before doing anything, seeks opinions from many parties, and then makes the best decision.

Hu Ming arrived late.

After raising it for more than a month, Hu Hui's complexion became very good and her face was rosy.

He sat on the Jindun, stroking his beard, and listened to Yue Zheng's retelling.

After listening, I laughed.

"Your Majesty, this is a great thing. Why can't you make a decision?" Hu Hui said with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "What's better? That Annan is just a piece of chicken ribs. I want to eat it, but I don't want to pay a high price to eat it."

"Hahaha!"

Hu Xi laughed, the emperor has really matured.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, do you want to eat the land of Annan?"

"If you don't want to eat, you don't want to eat people like Annan, right?"

Hu Xi smiled and said: "If the old minister can leave the land for others, would your Majesty want to eat it?"

"Of course I want to eat it!"

Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked to Hu Hui: "Old Master, if the land of Annan is full of Han people who can speak Chinese, then this place will not be worthless, but fat and oily!"

The courtiers followed suit and said yes.

Yu Qian also said that he was afraid that when the Han people matured the land, Annan would rebel again.

So the emperor said he wanted to eat, but he didn't want to pay too much to eat.

When the Han people immigrated there, it took them ten to twenty years to mature the land and turn waste land into treasure land.

"In my opinion, Annan is full of treasures." Hu Ming stroked his beard and smiled.

"Old Master, stop being so secretive and tell me now!"

The courtiers all stood up and surrounded Hu Hu.

"Your Majesty, you said before that the Annan people are all slaves."

"Our Ming Dynasty wants to control floods, build cities outside the Great Wall, build Chi Road, Qingshan Road, and open up transportation in various places. We all need people!"

"Since this Annan man is a slave, isn't he a treasure?"

Hu Xi smiled and said: "What if the Annan people were moved to various parts of the Ming Dynasty, demoted as slaves, and worked for the Ming Dynasty?"

"The land of Annan is empty, let's move in the Han people."

"Then this Cochin Province has also become a treasure?"

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Yu Qian in confusion, then at Yao Kui, Geng Jiuchou and others.

Suddenly laughed: "I told you, the old master is the Dinghai Shenzhen! Look at this desperate plan! The best in the world!"

The smile on Hu Hui's face was stiff. If you don't know how to praise others, don't praise them.

What kind of desperate plan?Still first?
This is the Ming Dynasty’s strategy for generations to come!

"Old Master, the Annan people are not stupid, why are they arrested by us?" Geng Jiuchou asked a very stupid question.

"Geng Qing, those merchants are unprofitable and can't afford to go early. As long as we spend money to buy them, they will catch them for us!" Zhu Qiyu answered for Hu Ming.

Learn about the slave trade.

Geng Jiuchou: Okay, think of me as too talkative.

"It's so expensive to collect it from merchants."

Yao Kui sneered: "We have so many soldiers, what do we do for food?"

"Let them station themselves at the home of a local wealthy family, and ask the Annan wealthy family to help us catch them!"

"If the big ones can't be caught, let's catch them and make them slaves to see if they work hard!"

Wang Hong left, and another ruthless person came.

In the past, Yao Kui was very upright, but now Yao Kui is another poisonous person named Jia Xu.

"As long as the Han people move here, Annan will become a treasure land!"

Zhu Qiyu walked back to the map: "My lords, come and see, Xia Xun is in Hongji."

"I want to use the Red River as a line to divide the border between the two countries."

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

He drew a line on the map and included everything north of the Red River into the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, you have bitten off more than you can chew."

Hu Hui looked at it for a long time and then said: "We don't want anything close to Yunnan. We will accept everything close to Guangxi and rebuild Jiaozhi Province."

Yu Qian also felt that if he captured everything north of the Red River, he would definitely have to fight Annan.

And this battle may not be lost if you are not fully prepared.

But it is easy to fall into the quagmire of war, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"We will divide it with Guishun Prefecture, and cut it southward, all the way to the seaside. We want all the cities."

“But the province of Cochin will not be established and it will not be marked on the map.”

"We are only taking actual control, and on the surface it is still under Annan's control."

"This time we, Ming Dynasty, only want face, not face."

"It's better to save Mr. Annan from coming to power if he comes to power."

"Your Majesty has issued an imperial edict to buy these lands. I think it is a good deal."

"Weichen estimates that these grains are enough to conquer the entire northern Annan. With Fang Ying in charge, there will be no problem at all."

After listening to Yu Qian's words, Zhu Qiyu glanced at the other courtiers, and they all agreed with Yu Qian's words.

"These places are all included in Guangxi."

"I previously assigned Wuzhou Prefecture and Heping Yue Prefecture to Guangdong."

"I am planning to add Qingyuan Mansion, Sichengzhou and Anlongsi to Guizhou."

"Add the northern half of Liuzhou Prefecture to Hunan."

Zhu Qiyu had already made a new plan: "What was lost will be made up by Annan."

"South of the Red River, I will establish Jiaozhi Province."

"All the areas to the north will be included in Guangxi."

He was talking and drawing at the same time.

But the courtiers saw it. The emperor added Qingyuan Mansion, Sichengzhou, and Anlong Division to Guizhou. This was used for military training. Before Tao Cheng, he trained troops here and was waiting to enter Guizhou to pacify the chieftains.

It is also expanding the area of ​​inland provinces.

And Guangxi is expanding outward to the area north of the Red River. If the area is still too small, it can be expanded to include a few more prefectures.

"I have no objection." The courtier bowed and saluted.

"That's settled then."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I will give orders to Xia Xun and Bian Yong. As for how much land Fang Ying and Xia Xun can acquire, I will not set any specific restrictions."

After all, Beijing is too far from Hanoi.

Unlike the Chidao in China, where Zouzhang can go back and forth quickly, the road to and from Jiaozhi has to go over Zhuque Pass. Walking from Zhuque Pass is equivalent to climbing a hundred thousand mountains.

We can't go by sea, so it's strange that we can go fast.

And the imperial edict came from the center.

Fang Ying has made a decision with Xia Xun to expand their territory.

Because there are too many merchants in Yunju.

Others bought a large number of people from Annan and prepared to transport them back to China. These people gathered in Hongji.

Fang Ying is worried that a major epidemic will occur. The rainy season is coming soon. If an epidemic occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

Moreover, food needs to be dispersed.

Before the rainy season, food must be transported inland to guard against typhoons.

Therefore, Fang Ying personally led the wolf soldiers to fight west.

The cities along the way were basically indifferent. There was only one tough battle and the city was broken in three days. Fang Ying entered the city and killed a lot.

Then organize the Annamites to transport food.

Transport the food inland little by little.

The westernmost city was called Great Anle by the locals. There were two Anle cities in Annan. The small Anle city near the seaside was demolished by Xia Xun.

Anle City also has a name in Jiaozhi Province, called Tangzhou.

The city close to the west is called Biandong. On the map of Cochin Province, it is called Langzhou. The fiefdom of the King of Lang Son is here.

Fang Ying led his troops and captured it.

He captured Menzhou again.

Cross the river and capture Luzhou and Xipingzhou on the opposite side.

Xia Xun was also confused. Is the city captured so fast?

The key is that Annan doesn't resist.

Local officials wrote to the central government, but the central government ignored them.

The Ming Dynasty did not massacre the city, but organized the population to transport food and distribute food.

The people of Annan are definitely willing to do it. They can steal food and earn double their salary. Where can I find such a good thing?

As a result, the Ming army clearly invaded Annan and occupied their homes, but the grain transport team was in good order.

The Annan people smiled happily and said that the Ming Dynasty was an army of benevolent people.

The journey was very peaceful.

The Ming army was also generous, providing a lot of food, and everyone worked hard, calling friends to come and work.

Before the rainy season comes, all the food has been dispersed and transported into the city, and preparations have been made for the rainy season.

The army led by Fang Ying were all from Guangxi.

Know how to prevent rainy season.

So I made adequate preparations and covered everything.

When the work was done, the Ming army immediately changed its attitude and drove all the Annan men out of the city, leaving the women behind.

All men who dare to enter the city will be killed.

Then close all the city gates.

Those Annan natives cried for father and mother, but had no way to ask for help.

The rainy season is coming, and if they don't have shelter, they will all die.

But the city gate will not open at all.

During this period, a large amount of arrows and firecrackers were transported from the Ming Dynasty, and all armies were fully equipped.

With food to eat, women to play with, and no need to train, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty simply went to heaven.

Heaven in the city, hell outside the city.

The 30 to [-] natives only had food left in their hands. The Ming army did not take back their food because they had too much food and could not eat it all.

They can only go to the countryside to find a way to escape.

And in Hanoi.

The officials who lost the city ran to Hanoi and cried, and the people of Li Yi were furious.

Xuan Bian Yong came to issue an edict.

Ben Yong insisted that these people were by no means Akito.

Let's just fool the ghosts with this.

Li Yimin didn't believe a word of Bian Yong's words.

The problem is, he needs the help of the Ming army.

He was already devastated, and the bad things after Li Yin's death were exposed.
