Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 536: The Annan War Begins, King Wang Returns to Ganzhou with Thirty Thousand Honors
It’s not entirely to blame Zhu Qiyu for being sentimental. Next year, Constantinople will fall, and the demise of the Eastern Roman emperors will basically mark the end of the Middle Ages.

The Italian Renaissance seems to have been going on for almost half a century, and Columbus should be two or three years old this year.

There is also the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which is about to become completely independent from the Golden Horde.

Time waits for no one. As a responsible emperor of the Han Dynasty, he has the obligation to interrupt the rise of the West.

It's a pity that the whole country is a pot of porridge. It can't be understood after fighting, and it can't be leveled.

And according to historical experience, in the next ten years, the Ming Dynasty should be plagued by natural and man-made disasters.

Therefore, Annan must be defeated and completely ruled.

Only by completely ruling Annan can we further deploy military ports in Nanyang, guard the waterways, and compete with the Western powers on the sea in the future.

Therefore, Huang Pu's suggestion, although cruel, is the right solution.

Among the immigrants who moved to Annan, sixty or seventy were Han Chinese, and the rest were made up of Miao, Yao and other naturalized minority people.

According to the experience of Japanese rule in a certain place, it will take at least 50 years to move 200 million people to Annan.

As a auxiliary measure, during the attack on Annam, some unexplained exchange of interests must be made with Champa, Lancang and other countries.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at his trusted ministers. There were some things that he couldn't say clearly, he could only understand them.For example, he deliberately transferred the kind and peaceful Bai Gui to Henan as governor, and transferred the decisive and radical Xiang Zhong to Huguang as governor.

The ministers seized the opportunity and discussed political affairs with the emperor for a long time before resigning.However, the ministers wanted to focus on the rebellion of the Min Fan County King, but Zhu Qiyu picked it up high and put it down gently.

Historically, just after the death of the guy in Zhu Qizhen, there was an uprising of millions of refugees in Jingxiang.So Huguang, a place like this, needs to be given a strong dose of medicine in advance.

After the hidden dangers are dealt with, Bai Gui will be replaced and the appeasement route will be adopted.

Zhu Qiyu watched flowers and scenery all the way and walked back home.

As soon as she sat on the soft couch and took a sip of tea, Qianxue pushed a bunch of secret reports over.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "What's new?"

Qianxue replied: "Xu Youzhen has arrived in Guangzhou, and on the first day he arrived in Guangzhou, he dismissed all commander Sun Wang and others from their posts, without even giving them a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Wang Ji had already led an army to attack Annan. "

Zhu Qiyu was a little puzzled: "These two people are a little too anxious. Has the Annan mission returned to the country? At least wait until they go back and report to King Annan and discuss it before launching an attack."

Hearing this, Qianxue teased: "Husband, you still have the nerve to blame others. It was you who publicly promised to split the earth and seal the vassal. Then after Wang Ji and others got the news, how could they not be anxious?

Especially Wang Ji, he now wants to earn a big family fortune for his children and grandchildren.With the Mu family as a precedent, the reward from the frontier of Shizhen was too tempting.

Moreover, the husband promised Wang Ji and Chen Mao, but he was a duke. Who else would not be crazy. "

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "Is the war going well?"

Qianxue shook her head: "It can't be said to be smooth, nor can it be said to be unsuccessful. Wang Ji's army basically participated in the conquest of Luchuan, and they are extremely experienced in mountain warfare. In the long run, Annan will definitely not be able to stop the Ming army.

But in the short term, Annan was prepared in advance and concentrated the most elite troops to guard against Yunnan.Both sides are still in the stage of small-scale testing. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, if Annan's northwest defense line can be broken easily and go straight into the Red River Plain, then the war will be over immediately.

Tell me something else. Is there anything else? "

"Yes, Datong's right-hand general and governor-general, Xu Gui, who was guarding Datong, and right young eunuch Wei Lizhuan forced the soldier's wife to stay with him, but the wife refused, so she killed her husband with a cane.

He also had an affair with his adopted son's wife and shot his adopted son to death.

He also falsely reported that several of his slaves had killed thieves, and he was promoted to commander, thousand households, hundred households, and governor. "

Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Shanxi Governor Liu Zhongfu just passed away, and the Datong gang started again. If they don't want to work, let them all come back.

Jinyiwei was ordered to transfer Wei Li back to Beijing for trial, and Wang Wei, the Right Prime Minister of Dali Temple, was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Nanjing, and Li Tang, the Minister of Punishment, returned to Beijing to report on his duties.Cao Tai, the censor of Youqiandu and the inspector of Shanxi Province, returned to Beijing to report on his work.

Li Bing was appointed governor of Shanxi, and Sheng Yong took over as governor of Shanxi.

By the way, Ma Wensheng was sent to be the patrol in Gansu, and Yu Zijun was sent to be the patrol in Shaanxi.

Xuanfu and Huailai have been included in Northern Zhili, and Huang Pu will take over from now on. "

"Is this going to clean up Shanxi's officialdom again?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "No, on the contrary, the purge of Shanxi is over. The Wandu Division was changed to Kaiping Dusi, and the administrative office was moved to Kaipingwei.

Shanxi Xingdusi was changed to Dongshengdusi, and the administrative office was moved to Dongshengwei.

Moved the Shanxi Dusi Administrative Office to Datong.

The entire Shanxi defense center has moved northward.

Our Ming Dynasty was originally doing well, and its national power was on the rise, but it retreated southwards. It is really incredible.Now is the time to bring order to the chaos. "

Qianxue nodded, and then said with a smile: "Let's be happy, our old prince's palace has been transformed into a park. Now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it is very lively with tourists.

It turns out that the main hall of the Old Han Palace has been renovated and enshrined the seven emperors of the Han Dynasty.

There is also considerable progress in the renovation of the original Huichang Marquis Mansion. With Zhao Yun and Mu Yu there to supervise, the project progresses very quickly.

The observatory that my husband wants has been built three feet high.By this time next year, the jade statue of the Queen Mother should be officially completed. "

Zhu Qiyu heard this and praised: "That's great. If the war goes well, Annan should have been forced to surrender by this time next year.

When the time comes, we will publicly announce this great achievement in front of the jade statue of our mother.

Recovering Annan and quelling the Miao chaos will most likely have to be accomplished at the same time.We can even organize a small voyage to the West by this time next year.

Yes, yes, in conjunction with the recovery of Annan, our Ming fleet must at least make a 'small' demonstration within Nanyang.

The creation of my godhead is finally going to be successful. "

Su Xi laughed when he heard this and said: "When it comes to these mysterious things, during the Tumu Fort Incident, the ministers who followed Emperor Gongrang were almost thrown into trouble.

Officials of Qin Tian Jian were not spared either.Yesterday, the Qin Tian Jian was writing a letter saying that many astronomical and calendar books were lost on the battlefield.

Qin Tianjian was afraid that the common people would accidentally pick it up and study it privately. He hoped that the court would post a notice and collect these books.

This thing was done a little out of order, making people confused. "

"There's nothing unclear about it. Didn't the two princes of Min Fan rebel? That's all. They also found two sorcerers to brag about their status as emperors.

So Qin Tianjian was afraid, and then he remembered the astronomy and calendar books that were lost in Tumubao.

Just reply to them, no need to look for them. "

……

March [-]th, morning.

Outside the city of Ganzhou, flags were flying.

King Su returned home in great glory with an army of fifteen thousand.
