Chapter 230 The Conquest of Annan
In full view.Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tu and nodded slightly: "That's right."

"Expanding the territory, conquering Annan, such a big event, why didn't King Su report it?" A civil and military official said tremblingly.

"This is top secret."

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although Annan has regarded the Ming Dynasty as his monarch, rebellions have continued to occur.

But Annan has always targeted the indigenous people in the north, so Ming has always turned a blind eye.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he personally went out to attack Annan, conquered Annan, and incorporated it into the Ming Empire.

When Zhu Zhanji ascended the throne, Annan had repeated mutinies. Each time, troops had to be sent to quell them, which consumed a lot of military power and money, and exhausted the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji had to give up the idea of ​​regaining Annan, and only hoped that they could become vassals of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute every year.In this way, the people of Ming Dynasty can get more benefits.

Zhu Zhanji was indeed a good monarch who cared about all the people in the world, but unlike Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, he was more of a conservative monarch.

When Zhu Tuo announced that he would attack Annan, everyone was shocked.

Annan and Daming are separated by thousands of miles. I don't know how much money and food will be spent. How could Lord Su have such an idea to launch an attack on Annan?
All the civil and military officials in the main hall suddenly started talking.

"Your Majesty, Prince Su has gone too far. Annan is so far away. If we want to attack, we will need to consume a lot of money and food. Can we, the people of Ming Dynasty, afford this?"

"That's right! It's not just nonsense, it's completely nonsense."

"Your Majesty, please go and take care of Prince Su quickly and dispel his thoughts."

Zhu Tuo sneered, and shouted: "Only a fool would be idle about his achievements and have no sense of responsibility. Unlike me, I can't sleep at night, and my mind is full of ideas about how to expand the territory."

"You are trying to show off your strength!"

"If we attack Annan and fight fiercely, won't our people of the Ming Dynasty have to suffer a lot?
Zhu Tuo glanced around, and said proudly: "Father, I am willing to issue Annan's letter of war within half a year, and ask the Lord Annan to come out of the city and present the edict!"

All the ministers were dumbfounded. They were shocked by Zhu Tuo again. They all stared at Zhu Tuo with their eyes wide open.

King Su, why are you doing this?Really can blow.

Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Zhu Tuo in surprise and said, "Why do you see this?"

Zhu Tuo snorted coldly: "Although some people question me, I only have one sentence. I am completely sincere to the Ming Dynasty and will not allow others to slander me. Lingnan has recruited an army just to suppress Annan."

"Therefore, I think that as long as the entire Lingnan army is mobilized, King Annan can be made to leave the city and surrender within half a year."

Hearing these words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked again.

In terms of emotions, no one will think that their own territory is too big.

But, why did the Ming Dynasty never launch an attack on Annan?

The main reason is that they are afraid of traveling long distances and consuming too much. After a few years, the Ming Dynasty's treasury will collapse.

But if it can be completed within six months, and Lingnan provides manpower and material resources, why should they hesitate?
Annan, also known as "Jiaozhi", has been part of China since the Han and Tang Dynasties. By the Five Dynasties, it already had a country and became a country.

After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used the excuse that the war had already been decided and did not want to start a war, so he stopped taking care of it, and Annan became a semi-independent place.

"Your Highness, military affairs are no joke. How can you go to the battlefield so easily?"

It was Qi Tai who raised the objection. He said loudly: "Your Highness, this expedition is of great military importance. Making such a decision hastily may be suspected of being too conceited. Moreover, the imperial court is not very clear about Annan's affairs. How is it possible to do this?
The ministers also woke up at this time. King Su used his troops like a god and defeated Mongolia in only half a year.But what is Annan doing?There is still a long way to go to Annan. Running over and fighting Annan rashly is tantamount to asking for death.

Moreover, if King Su returns to Lingnan, it will be like letting a tiger go. I am afraid that the ministers in the capital will have trouble sleeping and eating, lest one day he gets mad and suddenly raises an army to rebel in the name of eradicating traitors.

But Zhu Tuo knew in his heart that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the national power of the Chen family in Annan has gradually declined and has always been in civil war. The two major factions of the Chen family and the Li family are fighting endlessly, so he wants to capture Annan and It's not difficult.

Therefore, during the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of Annan only fought one battle and was beaten into submission and captured without mercy.

Moreover, when Zhu Tuo ruled Lingnan, he would occasionally go to Annan.

Annan was mentally prepared to fear Lingnan's power.

"If you think I am reckless, then I will tell you that I plan to train hard for two years in order to regain Annan."

Qi Tai frowned and said, "Then King Su, what's your plan?"

Zhu Tuo was furious and sneered: "This is a military matter, how can you say it in front of everyone? You look so sneaky, do you mean to reveal the secret to Annan Chen?" ?”

"There is no reason to accuse someone unjustly. If King Su must go to war, just tell him your battle plan. If there is no other way, doesn't it mean that King Su is talking nonsense?"

"How dare you doubt me," Zhu Tuo's heart moved and he said angrily, "My subordinate Yao Guangxiao knows this."

"Then let's go find Yao Guangxiao and see what's going on with him."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and the young father-in-law quickly retreated.

About an hour later, Yao Guangxiao hurried over. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he quickly bowed and then bowed to all the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Hirotaka, aren't we going to take back Annan? Otherwise, tell me, what Annan tactics have we formulated?"

Yao Guangxiao was stunned and looked at Zhu Tuo, his eyes full of doubt.

He was just called over by a little father-in-law for some reason, and he was still a little confused.

When people heard the news, they were stunned. Why did King Su want to occupy Annan?Even Annan's tactics have been formulated?Why doesn't he know?
"Have you forgotten?"

Zhu Tuo stared and said in surprise: "Father, my subordinate has forgotten. I will bring him back right now and let him think about it. After a while, I will present Annan's fighting method."

"King Su, are you lying to ghosts?" Lai Gong frowned and said, "You don't want to attack Annan on a whim?" Are you using Annan to cover up your mistakes? "

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How could you wrongly accuse me for no reason?" Zhu Tuo stared at his eyes and shouted sternly: "Lai Gong, you are such a mouthful, I can't stand such an insult. How about we go to the Meridian Gate to have a discussion after the morning meeting? , I have an arm, what do you think?"

Ligon took a step back and was about to sneer when a voice came from the hall.

"and many more!"

Lai Gong stopped talking and looked at the visitor in confusion.

Yao Guangxiao was dressed in white.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Tuo said in confusion.
