Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 328: Ming Dynasty and An Nanyong are enemies
It was a vendor selling goods he didn't recognize.Especially those Lingnan people, all of them are well-dressed and neatly dressed, and their stature is much taller than those of Annan people.

In the end, Chen Rikun looked at this scene with his mouth open wide enough to swallow an egg.

As the king of Annan, but because Annan's land was barren, the population was sparse, and it was extremely poor, he bowed to Zhu Tuo and said: "King Su, I, Chen Rikun, the king of Annan, pay my respects to your majesty."

"Hehe, no need, no need!"

Zhu Tuo chuckled and said pleasantly: "Our Lingnan is adjacent to Annan. Now we have a friendship, and there will definitely be more intersections in the future. It can be said that we are one country, one country, and one country. You are also older than me, I should call you big brother."

"Well, what do you think of Brother Kun?"

Chen Rikun was startled. He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no. Your Majesty, how can I be your big brother?"

"It's okay, haha, why don't you call me Brother Chicken?"

Chen Rikun was stunned again. He thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why Prince Su had such a weird name, so he asked strangely: "Your Majesty, is this Brother Kun related to Brother Xiaoji?"

"Well, in my hometown, there is a custom here, which is called Kun, not a chicken."

Chen Rikun nodded and said: "I heard that the oranges in Huainan and the oranges in Huaibei are the same. However, your Majesty's territory is wider than your Majesty, your people are richer than your Majesty, and your soldiers and horses are strong. I dare not call you Your Majesty."

mine! "

"Oh, so what shall I call you in the future?"

Chen Rikun pondered for a moment and said: "I do have a nickname, that was my nickname when I was a child.

"Hehehe...that's a nice name!" Well, when I was in the capital, I wasn't the person in charge of Annan.

"Yes." Ximen Chuixue said: "Yes." Chen Rikun nodded and said: "I didn't think Lingnan was so prosperous before, but now, after I walked around Lingnan, I discovered that I used to be How ignorant!”

Zhu Tuo sneered and said proudly: "So what? There are twenty or thirty in our Ming Dynasty in a prosperous place like Lingnan. If our Ming Dynasty comes out in full force, it will be enough to form an army with thousands of horses." Iron cavalry!"

Chen Rikun was speechless for a moment. He looked at Zhu Tuo with horror on his face. He couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty... when did the Ming Dynasty become so powerful? I remembered that more than ten years ago, our Ming Dynasty The folk customs are like Annan’s, right?”

Zhu Tuo shook his head: "The folk customs of the Ming Dynasty are: one liter every three years, one liter every three years, and one liter every three years. It has been 30 years since my father founded the country. How many roads have you taken to get to where you are today?" One step later, Ming Dynasty has reached this stage again? If Annan is still standing still, wouldn't he be abandoned by Ming Dynasty? "

Chen Rikun nodded sincerely, believing Zhu Tuo's statement without doubt.

For a remote place like Lingnan to be so prosperous, one can imagine its scale.

What kind of prosperity is that?
He was secretly glad that he had not offended the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if a Ming Dynasty soldier sneezed, Annan would be in trouble.

Jo
"Your Majesty, Annan is my land of great civilization. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to intercede for Annan and give me the ruler of a county?" Chen Rikun resisted the surprise in his heart and proposed with a smile.

Zhu Tuo shook his head: "Don't worry, you can be your king. You only need to obey Da Ming. Da Ming will give you the greatest support. Your position as king will be very stable."

"Thank you, my lord."

"But you can start building some piers that will be useful in the future."

"Wharf? Why build a seaport?" Chen Rikun asked puzzledly.Zhu Tuo continued: "I want to build a ship that starts from Guangzhou, passes through Annan, and then passes through Malacca, occupying all the small countries along the way!"

Chen Rikun said in astonishment: "Since I have received your Majesty's order, I will start preparations as soon as I return to Annan."

"Oh, there is also Southeast Asia, oh, those small countries near Annan. I am not very clear about the details of these small countries. You can talk to me in detail."

"Follow your orders. And around us, there are also many small cities, such as Luzon, Johor, Mud Kingdom, etc. The situation in these cities is very chaotic, worse than Annan, and some of them are even worse. So true.

slave
Chen Rikun explained the situation of each country in a serious manner. Many of the small countries were dominated by clans and had no owners.

That is to say, countries such as Annan and Japan, which were influenced by Chinese culture, are the so-called "kings of the country" and implement the system of "the king of the country".

Zhu Tuo couldn't help but nodded, his eyes bright. To him, those were unexplored jungles, just waiting for him to dig.On that day, he took more than 100 large ships and sailed on the sea in a mighty manner. Everywhere he went, it was an extension of the Ming Dynasty's territory!
Under Qi Tai's instructions, everything went smoothly when Chen Rikun visited Zhu Tuo. However, the two discussed for a long time how to call Chen Rikun. In the end, Zhu Tuo insisted on calling him Big Brother Chicken.

Chen Rikun shook his head, meaning that he couldn't bear it, otherwise he would die.

After that, Zhu Tuo had a long private meeting with Chen Rikun and discussed everything about Annan in detail.Annan is a Central Plains region. Before the Song Dynasty, it was also a Central Plains region, and there was no resistance to the Han people.

Moreover, in Annan, Qi Tai almost actually controlled the army and politics, so Chen Rikun did not dare to have any objections.

Zhu Tuo had no idea of ​​taking down Annan from the beginning, because it would bring him a lot of trouble. On the contrary, he preferred to use a step-by-step approach to change Annan, so that Annan would gradually recognize Ming Dynasty and him as a Ming Dynasty person. .

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I heard that you gave birth to three children?"

"Yes, yes, those three unsatisfactory children will cause trouble all day long. I have a headache."

"Haha, it doesn't matter. If you trust me, send all three of my children to the Imperial College and let them learn from my Ming Dynasty knowledge. I also read some books in the Imperial College, but they benefited a lot."

Chen Rikun bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After doing all this, Chen Rikun left the conference room politely.

He made a circle here and then returned to Annan.

This time the negotiation was smooth and smooth. In fact, it was all thanks to Qi Tai. Qi Tai had stayed in Annan for more than half a year, knew the situation in Annan well, and carried forward the Ming Dynasty to Annan.

This gave Chen Rikun and other Annan people a heartfelt trust in Daming.

"Good job!"

No matter how much he hates Qitai in his heart, Zhu Tuo must admit that this man is indeed capable. He was thrown into a strange place like Annan and still achieved such great achievements.

Really good stuff.

Zhu Tuo always repays kindness, so he said: "I was not familiar with you before, and you have offended me again and again. For the sake of a kind-hearted person like me, I can only punish you." Sent to Annan, I hope you won't take it to heart.
