Conquering the Li clan was easier than expected. Wanjun couldn't figure out how Annan, who could be defeated with such overwhelming force, could let the Ming Dynasty eat it and then spit it out.

Wan Jun stayed in Tokyo for two days, but Li had no intention of fighting. Instead, he came to Wan Jun to cry and accuse the powerful minister Zheng.

Wan Jun finally figured out the current situation in Annan. It turned out that there were three forces in Annan at this time. The strongest was the powerful official Zheng who controlled the Li Dynasty, followed by the Ruan family in the south. The Ruan family was originally a retainer of the Zheng family, but later became more powerful and

The Zheng family turned against each other. The weakest was the Mo family in the north.

To conquer Annan, it still needs to be divided and disintegrated. Wan Jun probably had a strategy in mind, and he raised his hand to Li Shitai who was crying in front of him, "Give me a seat!"

Li's attitude was respectful. After kowtowing and thanking him, he stood up and sat half-ass facing Wan Jun.

Wan Jun said, "You said that Zheng Zha controlled the government and bullied the superiors in vain?"

Li's nose immediately started to shed tears again, "I dare not deceive His Majesty the Head of State, colluded with Sha Dingzhou, and sent troops to Guangnan. It was all done by the thief Zheng Zha alone. I have been bullied by him for a long time, and I still ask His Majesty the Head of State to preside over it."

justice!"

Wan Jun thought to himself, you Annan people are white-eyed wolves with no kindness or shame. If you ask for anything today, you will wag your tail like a dog. If you don't need it tomorrow, you will bite you like a wolf.

Wan Jun sneered and said, "In that case, I am here today, so I will uphold justice for you. You immediately issue a letter of credence to the world, saying that Zheng Zha is treasonous, and everyone in the world will find it and punish him."

Li couldn't help but said, "Oh, no, I'll write it right now!"

Soon, Li ordered someone to write the edict. Wan Jun frowned and read it, "What are you writing? Are you writing parallel prose?"

Li hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Head of State, please give me your instructions."

Wan Jun said, "Delete those words 'Flies hate his voice' and 'Crickets steal his name'. What the hell, that's what you said. Zheng Zha controlled the government and often insulted the king and slapped him in the face."

, everyone in the court wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. Zheng Zha oppressed the people, robbed dozens of civilian girls to sleep with him every night, used children's kidneys to make medicine, ate people's hearts and drank their blood, all kinds of evils were heinous!

"

Li kowtowed as if pounding garlic, and quickly ordered someone to rewrite it and submit it.

Wan Jun looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, "In addition, all the soldiers who followed Zheng Zha to cause rebellion were all treason. According to the law, the three tribes must be killed. If you defect in front of the battle, you will be exempted from crime. Once the two armies come into battle, they will not be punished.

There is no possibility of surrender.”

After the edict was written, Wan Jun said, "The Li family is commendable for their loyalty. After the Zheng family is destroyed, it will be as you wish."

This was what Li was waiting for. She knelt on the ground and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Head of State! Long live our country, and long live Your Majesty the Head of State!"

Wan Jun said, "Immediately make hundreds of copies of the edict and distribute them everywhere, especially in the north. The sooner the better!"

Just as Li was about to leave, Wanjun stopped Li and said, "By the way, you can issue another edict."

Li said, "Your Majesty, the Head of State, please give me your instructions!"

Wan Jun said, "This place is called Tokyo. It's really unpleasant. I always think of Tokyo Fever. Please issue an edict to change the name!"

Li asked in confusion, "Is Tokyo very hot? May I ask, Your Majesty the Head of State, what name should I change it to?"

Wan Jun said, "It wasn't called Jiaozhou before, why not change it back to Jiaozhou?"

Upon hearing this, Li changed her submissive reaction, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Head of State, you can't do that!"

Wan Jun said, "Why?"

Li said, "Your Majesty the Head of State does not know that Annan was the country of Jiaozhi in ancient times, but now the national conditions are different from those of Jiaozhi.

The country above is very different. If it were changed to Jiaozhou, everyone in the world would be against it."

Wan Jun said, "Why do you have to worry so much? It's just a name change!"

Li said, "His Majesty the Head of State has made it clear that it is not Li who does not want it, but the people in the world who are resisting it. Even their names do not want to be the same as in the past!"

Wan Jun said, "In that case, let's change the name to Herou as you said!"

Li kowtowed and said, "I accept the order and dare to ask His Majesty the Head of State, what is the meaning of river meat?"

Wan Jun said, "If you talk too much, there are more people in Herou than in Hanoi."

Li said, "The name Hanoi is also very good, why do we need more than one person?"

Wan Jun said, "That's all, river meat, river meat, what's the name of river meat? Let's call it Hefei. Anyway, the name of the place over there in Hefei is still called Luzhou!"

Li said, "Then change Tokyo to Hefei, and I will issue an edict right away!"

The capital of the country suddenly changed its name to Hefei. People in Annan began to speculate about what Hefei meant. As long as it wasn't Jiaozhi, the people didn't react much, so just change it!

However, the crusade against Zheng Zha quickly received a great response. In the hearts of the people everywhere, Zheng Zha was equated with a beast, and state officials near Hefei also began to eliminate the Zheng family's influence.

The soldiers and horses retreating from Guangnan were already being pursued and harassed by Yang Zhan's soldiers and horses. Now that they heard that they had followed the Zheng family and became a rebel, their morale became even lower, so they withdrew to the Lang Son area, and more than half of the 250,000 soldiers and horses fled.

After Li Dingguo learned the news, he left 3,000 troops to surround the coastal defense, and personally led 7,000 troops to attack Beijiang day and night.

Outside Beijiang City, along the Halong River, Li Dingguo deployed suspicious soldiers to wait for work.

The demoralized Annan Army was crossing the Ha Long River when it was suddenly bombarded. A large group of Chinese troops stepped forward and fired a salvo at the Annan Army.

General Zheng organized a defensive formation in a panic. Li Dingguo waved his flag, and all the suspected Chinese troops came out and attacked from the north and south at the same time.

After just one salvo, the morale of Annan's army collapsed, and they all knelt down and begged for surrender.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Sha Dingzhou turned and fled north. General Zheng saw that the situation was over and committed suicide with his sword.

Li Dingguo captured more than 100,000 people and fought back to Liangjiang in a mighty manner. Zheng Zha huddled on the coast and waited for the reinforcements returning from the north. Now that the reinforcements had been wiped out, Zheng Zha was completely desperate and had no choice but to surrender in Kaicheng.

Li Dingguo collected the supplies and escorted the prisoners back to the capital.

Inside the palace, Zheng Zha had a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, tied up and thrown on the ground.

Li was so excited that she kicked Zheng Zha hard in the face, knelt on the ground and shouted, "The great power of our country will defeat Zheng's thieves in one battle. Long live your Majesty the Head of State."

Wan Jun said, "Since he is your retainer, I will reward you!"

Li kowtowed, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty the Head of State."

Wan Jun said, "Although the Zheng family is destroyed, the remnants of the Zheng family have to be guarded against, and our army cannot withdraw for a while."

Li naturally knows that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send away, not to mention that this god still came uninvited, but Li is not worried at all. After all, he has learned from past mistakes. If the Chinese army really wants to annex Annan, the worst thing is that it will be like the Zhengde Dynasty.

country once.

Li said, "What His Majesty the Head of State said is that Zheng's business has been in business for many years, and although it has been destroyed, we must take precautions."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "If you are smart, you will issue an edict right now to conduct a thorough investigation of the Zheng family's remnants throughout the country."

Li kowtowed and accepted the order. The army dismissed Li and called Deng Li to the palace. "Is the castle in Pingshan so well built?"

Deng Li said, "It has been completed."

Wan Jun said to Li Dingguo, "Dingguo

In the next few days, a battalion will be sent to garrison Pingshan Castle. Remember to stock up on food and ammunition, and don’t get involved with other affairs in Pingshan. You can personally see the defense situation and make sure that you can stand alone for more than six to eight months in the face of a siege."

Li Dingguo vaguely knew what Wan Jun wanted to do, so he nodded and accepted the order.

Wan Jun said to Deng Li again, "You have done a good job, but the castle is not enough. I will give you another 10,000 prisoners in the next few days. You must build ten more prisons from Pingshan to Hefei, Hefei to Langshan, and Hefei to the mouth of the Honghe River."

A fortress like a flat mountain castle.”

Deng Li said, "His Majesty the Head of State has already pacified the Zheng family, why do you still need to build so many castles and garrison troops?"

Wan Jun said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten what I promised you."

Although Deng Li felt slightly uneasy, it was not wise to say anything more at this time, so he could only nod and accept the order.

Wan Jun asked Li Laiheng to sit in Hefei and take charge of tracing the remnants of the Zheng family. He personally led people along the Red River to the mouth of the Red River, which was later called Haiphong.

Haiphong faces the Beibu Gulf and faces Hainan Island across the sea. It has an excellent port, but at this time Haiphong was only a small fishing village with dozens of families living there.

Wan Jun led his people to the mouth of the Red River and rode along the coastline to survey the terrain here.

The waves washed over the beach, and the wind was filled with a fishy smell. In the blueprint in Wan Jun's mind, the Chinese army urgently needed a good port.

Along the coastline, there were some fishermen living here. When they saw the large army of soldiers and horses passing by, they all knelt at the door in horror.

Wan Jun led his people south along the coast and found a small fishing village a few miles away. The fishing village was facing a natural harbor.

“This is a good place, choose this place!”

Soon, according to Wan Jun's order, the Chinese army was divided into two parts. Together with Jiang Pingping, they built a port in the fishing village, and with Wan Jun, they built a bastion on the northwest side of the fishing village and against the mountain.

castle on the hill,

The Chinese army spent a day clearing the woods and built simple houses out of wood and thatch. The houses were still surrounded by wooden fences and trenches. In the future, this place would be the command center of the garrison, and the surrounding area would be used to store ammunition and grain for the garrison.

Later, Wanjun lived here and directed everyone to build the main city wall along the mountain. The main city wall was shaped into a hexagon based on the terrain, and two gates were opened towards the mouth of the Red River and the port.

In order to ensure the safety of the two gates, a concave-corner fort was built from the position of the gate. Outside the concave-corner fort, a triangular fort was built along the main city wall. The back passage of the triangular fort connected to the main city wall.

After working hard for half a month, seeing that the fortifications were completed and Jiang Pingping's shipyard had started construction, Wan Jun returned to Hefei after leaving two battalions behind.

In Hefei City, according to Wan Jun's instructions, the Li Dynasty's operation to thoroughly investigate the remaining members of the Zheng family is being carried out on a large scale.

The Li family originally wanted to liquidate the Zheng family's forces, but now that Wan Jun ordered to track down the remnants of Zheng Zha, the Li Dynasty was naturally particularly concerned, but soon the Li Dynasty discovered that something was wrong.

The people captured by the Li family's monarchs and ministers were all ministers and wealthy businessmen who had close contacts with the Zheng family when Zheng Zha controlled the government. They could only survive dozens of people, and only a few hundred people, including their family members, could only be killed, and at most no more than a thousand people.

But Li Laiheng insisted that if he wanted to liquidate the remnants of the Zheng family, he would have to arrest at least 300,000 to 500,000 people.

From ministers to merchants to ordinary people, everyone was in danger for a while. Officials of the Li Dynasty took advantage of the chaos to fish for remnants of the Zheng family to see if they could pay a satisfactory price.
