Shenglong.

Yang Feng flew slowly in the sky and looked down at the bottom with his majestic gaze.

On the city street below, countless Annan soldiers and civilians knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to welcome the arrival of the gods.

The process of his march into Shenglong was very simple.

Although Chen Shuming did not come out to raise his arms because he wanted to play Zhongyi, Li Jiyama could solve this small matter. Then the rest was the Nanding defenders and reinforcements, holding up the banner of Fengtian's punishment, turning around and killing Shenglong. The Song army left some to take over Nanding, and the remaining 13,000 troops followed Li Jiyama into Shenglong and Fengtian to challenge the crime. When they arrived at Shenglong, Chen Yuzong still wanted to resist. Although there was no army in the city, there was still no shortage of young and middle-aged people. He recruited the young and strong to climb the city to defend the city as quickly as possible. However, the Song army's cannons fired, and the soldiers he had pieced together dispersed from the city wall. When Yang Feng took off the air, the officials in the city immediately opened the city gate, and then all the civil and military officials ran out to greet the king's army. As for the unlucky Chen Yuzong...

He committed suicide fearing guilt!

What other outcome can he have?

It is said that he was hanging himself in the southeast branch. It doesn’t matter whether he was hanging himself or someone else. In short, he is already dead and does not need Chen Shuming to be charged with killing the monarch and killing his younger brother.

"Disciple welcomes the Immortal Master!"

Chen Shuming led civil and military officials to bow to the front of the imperial city.

"My Lord Annan, Chen Shuming, welcomes the angel!"

Then he changed his name.

The former was when he welcomed the gods, and the latter was when he welcomed the emperor's envoy as a vassal king, but both were the same person. At this moment, he was still similar to the Annan king of Goryeo, which was inherited from the time of Emperor Xiaozong of Song. Before that, although the Annan ruler had a lot of prominent titles above his head, he could only be considered a local official of the Song Dynasty, the Jinghai Jiedushi. Even if he was added to the Jiaozhi County Prince, he was still a Jiedushi. It was Song Xiaozong who finally named him King of Annan in order to fight with the Jin Kingdom, which fundamentally changed the relationship between Song and Annan. The latter changed from a local official to a vassal king of tribute relations.

This is also the beginning of Annan Kingdom.

Before this, no matter how they separated one side or even invaded the Northern Song Dynasty, they were essentially a local official of the Song Dynasty and a continuation of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

However, the title of King Annan by Emperor Xiaozong of Song made them complete qualitative changes, and Yang Feng was not ready to change this for the time being. In fact, Ming Yuzhen, Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhang Shicheng also had similar identities at this time. They were all vassal kings, and their jurisdictions were all vassal states, and they were not ruling the area of ​​His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. As for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, or his apprentice Zhao Liner, the direct ruling area at this moment was only after the Song Dynasty was restored to the official system of the Xuanfu System of the Song Dynasty, and they were appointed to Fang Guozhen, Chen Youding, and He Zhen. They were directly under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty...

Of course, it's just nominal.

There was not even a court in the Song Dynasty, and only the emperor, the commander-in-law, was still studying in Baiyu Palace.

Since this is the case, there is not one more Annan.

Anyway, this vassal king was enthroned by the emperor, and the emperor also had the right to take it back. No matter who became this emperor in the end, he would inherit these territories directly under the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. In addition, the land seized by these vassal kings during the Northern Expedition did not belong to their vassal states. Their vassal states were limited to their original control areas, so that the land they captured would also be inherited by the emperor.

Then the final elected emperor will gain an overwhelming advantage over the vassal states.

After all, those three guys are almost the same in strength. Although Zhu Yuanzhang is the strongest, he may not be too strong than Chen Youliang. Even if Zhang Shicheng really wants to fight his life, he will not lose to the other two. When one of them gains the territory and population of the entire northwest Guanzhong, northwest Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Guangxi, he will definitely crush the other two families in terms of strength, and there is also great righteousness and a god to support him.

Then the rest is just a major policy to return it.

Not only Annan, but Goryeo will also deal with it with similar means in the future. First, they will consider themselves to be the vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and like Ming Yuzhen, they will not participate in the struggle for destiny but wait for destiny to return. Then when the new emperor issued an order to return the major policies of each vassal, as long as Ming Yuzhen received the decree, they would have no reason to refuse. Refusal means to resist the destiny. The emperor has the power to send troops to arrest and punish the crime. They dare to fight with force and resist the destiny. They dare to resist the destiny, and they despise the power of the heaven. Then the immortal master will take action, such as flying directly to Shenglong Imperial City to carry the King of Annan out and fly back to the capital Mingzhengdian punishment. If the Annan people dare to resist, then whoever is the King of Annan will be carried over to beheaded by the immortal master. It is estimated that one of them will be enough. This method can also avoid the population loss of Annan. After all, Annan is still Han people. Although there are many capitalists in modern times, most of them are Han people.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiaozhi County had a larger population than Nanhai County where Guangzhou was located!

Even the Tang Dynasty was half the latter.

The Tang Dynasty had nearly 60,000 households under Annan, which was a little less than Yangzhou, the most prosperous Yangzhou at that time. The latter was more than 70,000 households. According to the household registration ratio of Yangzhou, the population of Annan was more than 400,000. These people were thriving in a relatively stable environment for more than 400,000. In addition, there were also a large number of people who fled to Annan for refuge in the late Song Dynasty. So how many people were there in this era? There may be fewer Han people in the south, but the Red River Basin can almost be said to be completely Han people.

So what Yang Feng wants is to annex them.

"Annan was the land of China, and you were the people of China in the world. Even if you were separatist, you were still the ministers who defended the land. Now I am a fairy who replaced the world and chose the Lord of Heaven to defend China. You must guard the border and wait for the Lord of Heaven. The Immortal commander of the army must go west of Annan to fight the Tartars. All military needs are handed over to you, be careful not to make any mistakes."

Yang Feng in the air said.

"I obey the order!"

Chen Shuming said quickly.

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, then landed down, and then helped the newly released King Annan, and under his humble guidance, he walked into the imperial city in front of him that had been preserved to the modern times.

Behind them were more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who kept bowing to the city wall. In front of these people, three thousand iron men stood with their backs against the city wall, with their armor and giant swords on both hands forming a daunting steel wall. As for the soldiers holding flintlock rifles, they had already climbed up to the city wall. These people are really responsible for fighting, while the Iron Men are only responsible for showing off. In addition, when it rains heavily, the flintlock rifles are not good, they come out to save the ground when the flintlock rifles are not good. After all, Yang Feng is not equipped with his subordinates. It is best to have such a spare in the rainy environment in the southwest. The only flintlock rifles are afraid of heat. It is not good to let the scorching sun be sunny, but it is winter now, and it is about twenty degrees to be good. Even if you enter Yunnan for combat in the future, it doesn't matter.

Yunnan is a plateau, so there is no need to worry about the subtropical sunshine.

In this way, Yang Feng completed the conquest of Annan.

Of course, it's not that simple either.

He just conquered the Red River Basin. At this time, Annan had a modern border from north to south to south of Hue. It took some time on this vast land. After all, things were too sudden. Local officials and other royal families who didn't know the situation would inevitably have ideas. By the way, it was already quite chaotic inside Annan.

Just half a month later, Du Ziping, the Annan general who was originally in Huazhou, was Hue, rose up.

Of course, he was preparing to come back to attack Chen Shuming, who was plotting against the lord.

But unfortunately, the fleet he led just left Huazhou and encountered Fang Guoying, who was escorting Li Jiyao to the south to receive his army. The latter's hundreds of large warships were equipped with large and small steel cannons that Yang Feng hand-wrought in Shilu Iron Mine. To put it bluntly, it was a seamless steel pipe with medicine chambers. With super high-grade iron ore like Shilu Iron Mine, Yang Feng of course had to rub the cannons to his heart's heart. Fang Guoying's army, from plate armor to cannons to flintlock rifles, were all hand-wrought in Shilu Iron Mine, which means that the amount of gunpowder was limited, so each cannon could not be fired a few times, and it was not heavy. The maximum was only twelve pounds, most of which were six pounds or even three pounds, but it was enough to scare people.

The salvo of nearly two thousand artillery artillery of various caliber shocked the sea.

After this round of volleys alone, Du Ziping's generals tied up their commander without hesitation. Then, regardless of his angry curse, he gave him as a gift to Li Jiyao. The latter also cut off the blind guy without hesitation. Then, along with Du Ziping's troops, he went south, relying on Fang Guoying's naval gun to sweep the coast of Chameng City and blocked it to the Zhancheng City capital.

It is also the modern Guiren.

Although Li Jiyao really wanted to solve their main enemy once and for all, such as landing and then burning the city with fire like Li Rizun back then, unfortunately, Ah Dazhe's reaction speed was much faster than him.

The latter surrendered without hesitation.

Anyway, Chameng was also a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, and it was one of the most friendly vassal states with the Song Dynasty. After all, they were the main transit station for the Nanyang trade. After the pirates who attacked the Song Dynasty were arrested, they liked to call themselves Chameng people and then obtained lenient treatment from the Song Dynasty. Now the royal army of the Song Dynasty came to sweep the Tartars who also had a deep hatred of blood as Chameng. Of course, smart people like Ada Ahzhe knew what to do. The Mongols joined forces with Annan to beat them, and even the Chameng provinces were established, and they sent a navy to beat them across the sea to fight them.

Now the king is here to avenge them.

He immediately sent someone to deliver the tribute, and at the same time accepted the canonization of the King of Chameng and became a vassal king similar to Chen Shuming. Originally they also had the canonization of the Song Dynasty, but now they were just re-confirmed. Then he patted his chest and promised to live in harmony with Chen Shuming. At least until the king's army wiped out the Tartars, he would not have a war with Chen Shuming to drag the king's army down. In addition, he also agreed to Fang Guoying's request for him to provide some food as support...

He dared not refuse to agree!

More than 400 warships were stuck outside his capital. Although these warships were definitely not as good as sailing battleships, and even frigate-level armed forces were not even as strong as frigate-level weapons, the largest warships were equipped with more than a dozen nine-pound cannons. All warships had nearly two thousand cannons in total. The scene of so many cannons fired volleys made his legs look weak!

Isn’t it just rice!

There is no shortage of rice in Chameng.

In this way, Yang Feng completed the conquest of Chameng and ruled over the war between Chameng and Annan. The two sides ceased the war so that the latter could withdraw manpower to transport supplies for the Song Dynasty royal division. This transportation line was still not that simple, and water transportation was not worth mentioning. Annan was not short of ships. Zhu Laosi and Annan had collected nearly 10,000 ships in various ships alone. Not to mention that after the part was left, there was actually only 15,000 military supplies, even if it expanded ten times to Annan's inland water transportation capacity.

But land transportation from Step To Head to Kunming requires a lot of manpower.

This is a five hundred miles of mountain road.

However, Li Jiyao came up with a good solution for him.

elephant.

Use elephants to carry.

First of all, although this road is a mountain road, it can only be said to be a mountain road, which is different from those real winding mountain roads. It has been around for thousands of years. Materials can be transported by livestock. But their biggest problem is that there are no horses. There are only a few hundred cavalry in the whole of Annan. But they have elephants, not only they have them, but also Chameng people. Both countries have a large number of war elephants, and there are also a large number of elephants among the people. They can be transported by these domesticated elephants. Moreover, they do not need to be specially fed, and it is almost enough to eat wild bananas along the way.

No need to do more, a team of five hundred elephants can catch up with nearly ten thousand porters.

Since that's the case, there's no problem.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng issued an order to recruit 300 elephants to the Ah Ah, who was somewhat reluctant. After all, they relied on elephants in war, but in the end they did not dare to resist. They just asked Yang Feng for some small cannons and flintlock rifles on the grounds that they needed to face the threat of the real La people. Yang Feng also gave some of this thing to the Annan people.

Anyway, with their current abilities, it is impossible to imitate the flintlock rifle. At most, they can cast some small bronze cannons themselves, and they would have cast them themselves.

In this way, everything was ready by the spring of 1364.

Even the fortress in Butou was established in advance by Chen Shuming. It was originally not in Annan. The border between Annan and Yunnan was Hekou Old Street. As for Butou at this time, it was called Lihua Old City and Yidao County in Yunnan. It was actually Manhuang Town on the bank of Honghe River just south of modern Honghe Prefecture. This section is called Lihua River, the upper reaches are called Yuanjiang and even the first-level administrative area of ​​Yuanjiang Road. The following estuary is not called Honghe but Taojiang. That is to say, this transportation line is first along the mouth of Taojiang River Canal by large ships, and then turns small boats to transport upstream to Butou. Then at Butou, it starts to land north to Mengzi. At this time, it belongs to Lin'an Road, which is under Yunnan Province. The road management is in Tonghai and has a complete transportation system. Whether it goes north from Amizhou, that is, Kaiyuan, to north, along Nanpanjiang River to Yiliang and Kunming, or to go west to Jianshui and Tonghai directly to Dianchi Lake.
Chapter completed!
