back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 653 The Restless Annan
The more Lu Chengqi thought about it, the more frightened he became. Annan, a country with wolfish ambitions, let alone the present, even future generations are extremely hostile to China.In fact, Annan followed the title of the former dynasty, because the military power of the previous dynasty was too strong, forcing the small country called Jiaozhi at that time to be included in the vassal state of the Central Plains dynasty.Because there is a state in Jiaozhi, it is called Annan Prefecture, so the official name is Annan, and the folks often call it Jiaozhi, but they are actually the same place.

The name "Jiaozhi" existed in the Nanyue era. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom and established Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan counties in northern Vietnam. Since then, Jiaozhi has been included in the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it is called Jiaozhou.Among them, with the change of dynasties, Jiaozhi also repeatedly broke away from the control of the Central Plains and established itself as a country.

Before the founding of Dashun, Wu Quan from Jiaozhi defeated the Southern Han army, and Tuotu became king.Less than 30 years after Wu Quan became king, Ding Buling in the Jiaozhi area proclaimed himself emperor and took the country name "Da Quyue". Only then did Annan officially establish an independent regime and become a country.Since then, wars continued in Annan, and the former Li Dynasty emerged in the middle.Another 30 years later, Li Gongyun, the former commander of the Zuo Qinwei Palace in the former Li Dynasty, seized the throne.

After the establishment of the Li Dynasty, Li Gongyun was ambitious and forced Champa and Chenla to pay tribute and become ministers.Among them, they sneaked into Dali Prefecture and Guangnan West Road in Dashun many times, burned grain warehouses, and killed civilians.It is also recorded in the history books, saying that "Fighting Qinzhou, and returning with glory".At that time, Dashun was busy fighting with the Liao Kingdom, and had no time to take care of the situation in the southwest.Li Gongyun and his son Li Dezheng took this opportunity to enter Dashun territory to burn, kill and loot, committing all kinds of crimes.Under the pressure of the Liao Kingdom, Dashun didn't have the time, energy and military force to care about such a country of villains, and was actually taken advantage of by this little Jiaozhi.

Before Lu Chengqi came to the throne, Li Gongyun and Li Dezheng had died long ago, and now Li Rizun is succeeding Li Chao.This Li Rizun is not a good thing either. The first thing he did after becoming emperor was to change the name of the country to "Dayue".This Li Rizun is even more hateful than Li Gongyun and Li Dezheng. He has gone deep into the territory of Dashun four times, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil.But this Li Rizun also has the demeanor of a wise monarch. He attaches great importance to the development of culture and education, and actively promotes Chinese Confucianism.Construct Confucian temples, mold statues of Confucius, Zhou Gong, "Four Matches" (Yan Hui, Zeng Shen, Kong Ji, Meng Ke) and 72 sages, stipulate four seasons of sacrifice, and let the crown prince learn Confucian culture.In terms of military affairs, reform the establishment of arms to strengthen combat effectiveness and prevent mutiny.At the same time, it was actively expanding outwards, coveting the territory of neighboring countries, and tried to invade Dashun four times in vain, but was repelled by Dashun.Even so, the casualties between Dashun and Li Chao were [-]-[-], so Li Chao didn't have any respect for Dashun.No, this Li Rizun was going to break through Zhancheng, and after expanding his strength, he launched an invasion against Dashun again.

Perhaps because of this, after Dashun Yuanshou invaded Dashun for the last time in 19 years, this Li Rizun finally stopped meeting.Because he knew that Dashun was already on guard against him, he couldn't take advantage of it, so he turned the blade upside down and swung it like Champa.

After Lu Chengqi ascended the throne, the Champa Kingdom had asked Dashun for help more than once. At the same time, the Champa Kingdom was also struggling to support it, repelling the attacks of Cochin again and again.However, Grand Master Yang was still in charge at that time, and he ignored Champa Kingdom's request for help, and sent the envoys with some gold and silver.After Lu Chengqi came to power, Dashun's military strength rose sharply, and Jiaozhi seemed to be a little tired from fighting, and he hadn't used weapons in the past two years.But Lu Chengqi knew that the country of Cochin was full of wolfish ambitions, and it would definitely not let Champa and Chenla go easily.There is only so much land in Cochin. After occupying Chenla and Champa, the national power of Cochin has risen sharply, and it can be used to fight with Dashun locally.If Bagan, Danliumei, Lianfeng and other countries are included in the territory, they will no longer be afraid of any Central Plains dynasty.

Lu Chengqi is very clear about the ambitions of the Jiaozhi people. This is the lack of people's hearts, which is comparable to the Japanese invasion of China in later generations.Don't even think about how big your country is, just want to eat a fat man in one bite?
However, this is not scabies after all, if you underestimate cochin, I am afraid you will suffer a big loss.You know, the future generations of the United States have suffered a great loss in this small country, and Dashun should also put up all his energy to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi said slowly: "Gao Hao?"

"The little one is here!" Gao Hao was called his name unexpectedly, and quickly responded.

"Go to the Supervision Department and call Xu Jingchun here." Lu Chengqi said flatly.

As soon as Gao Hao heard this tone, he knew that the little emperor was going to make trouble.After serving the little emperor for so long, Gao Hao also has a certain understanding of the little emperor's temperament. He knows that he likes to make decisions before acting, and usually when he has an idea, he will arrange it leisurely.It was only at a critical moment that he suddenly launched an attack.The court ministers have seen the little emperor's move more than once.And Gao Hao, as Lu Chengqi's personal eunuch, knew this very well.

Not daring to slack off in the slightest, Gao Hao hastily bowed back and went to the Supervision Department in person.

About half an hour later, Gao Gao hurried into the Chuigong Hall and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, Xu Jingchun, the director of the Supervision Department, is outside the hall, waiting for His Majesty's announcement."

"Let him in."

"According to the order!"

After Gao Gao went out again, Xu Jingchun hurried in. "Minister Xu Jingchun, see Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi had cleared away the idlers in the Chui Gong Hall a long time ago, stood up slowly, and asked in a questioning tone: "Xu Qing, what have you been up to lately?"

Hearing the little emperor's tone, Xu Jingchun knew that the little emperor was dissatisfied with his work, so he quickly bowed and bowed, and said: "Reporting to your majesty, I would like to follow your majesty's orders and cooperate with General Lu Chenhuan to attack The bandits in Yunnan and Guizhou are infested, and I dare not slack off in the slightest."

Lu Chengqi stared at Xu Jingchun's face, walked down slowly, walked up to Xu Jingchun, and said indifferently: "Is there really no slack in the slightest?"

"Your Majesty's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon!" Xu Jingchun quickly expressed his loyalty.

Lu Chengqi also knew that Xu Jingchun was now a "lonely widow". Who in the court likes this intelligence chief who picks on them?So Lu Chengqi was not worried that Xu Jingchun would be unfaithful to him, he was just afraid that Xu Jingchun would be too loyal, and if he had to take care of everything, he would overstep it.

"I'm very confident about Xu Qing's ability. I just have a question, Dashun's actions in the southwest, but Annan didn't hear anything?" Although Lu Chengqi spoke softly, to Xu Jingchun's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue!The little emperor's disposition was not only understood by Gao Gao, Xu Jingchun, as an intelligence leader, was even more aware of it.
