"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

"Urgent military report from eight hundred miles away in Yunnan!"

The post soldiers broke into the post station, and immediately a guard rushed out from the house: "Where is the military report?"

"Yunnan, eight hundred miles expedited, express delivery to the capital!"

Looking at the exhausted postmen and horses, the guard in the post station immediately put the bamboo tube on himself, then placed the command flag, took out a horse and galloped out of the post station.

Urgent military report was sent eight hundred miles away, something big must have happened in Yunnan!

In this way, the urgent message from Yunnan was quickly delivered from one station to another, traveling day and night, day and night, and finally arrived in the capital six days later.

"Urgent news from the border! Urgent news from the border!"

"Urgent military report from eight hundred miles away in Yunnan!"

The officer screamed and galloped on the wide road in the capital. The passers-by who heard the emergency message ran away, and then watched the officer rush towards the direction of Liubu. After the officer went away, the people in the capital gathered together again and started shouting.

Start discussing.

Urgent report, is there something going on at the border?

"Urgent border report! Urgent military report from 800 miles away from Yunnan!"

The people from the Ministry of War looked at the officer, quickly helped him in, took the bamboo tube from him and hurriedly sent it to the cabinet.

"Yuanfu, urgent military report eight hundred miles from the Yunnan border!"

Zhang Haogu, who was dealing with the memorial, his eyelids twitched for no reason when he heard this. Urgent report from Yunnan?

Something happened in Yunnan!

After opening the bamboo tube, uncovering the fire paint, and quickly reading the contents of the report, Zhang Haogu looked at the applications of Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Qiao Yunsheng and others with a calm expression: "Annan has invaded."

"What?!" Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji's expressions changed upon hearing this!

The barbarians in Annan are locked up!

Zhang Haogu put away the military report and stood up: "Let's go to see the emperor."

boom!

Zhu Youxiao was angry again.

Now the Ming Dynasty has swept through Monan and trained Liaodong. It is invincible and invincible. In addition, the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is the apocalyptic era.

But he just went to the Ancestral Temple to pay homage to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, saying how rich the Tianqi Dynasty was, how abundant the treasury was, how good the people's lives were, and how capable the Ming Dynasty's army was. It was about to be the next Yongle era, when all nations would come to court.

But on the back foot, Annan invaded!

"How dare you, a small barbarian country, kill my subjects!"

"That's unreasonable!"

Seeing the furious Zhu Youxiao, all the cabinet ministers leaned over and said: "Long live the anger."

"Calm down?!"

"How can I calm down my anger?!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at the military report, with a ferocious look on his face like an angry dragon: "Sneak attack on the border fortress, brazenly blocking the border, and plundering Yunnan. The three prefectures and six divisions have become empty cities with bones!"

"What's this?!"

"This is a shame!"

"It's a disgrace to Ming Dynasty!"

Breathing heavily, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and nodded: "Go to the Duke of Guizhou's Mansion and ask them what they eat. Annan's soldiers have almost reached Kunming and there is still no reaction!"

"And those chieftains, what do they do for food? No one reported the news, no one lit the smoke, they just sat and watched the cities of the Ming Dynasty being slaughtered. If someone hadn't reported the news, I might still be kept in the dark until now.

!”

Eunuch Wei on the side saw Zhu Youxiao being so angry, and quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you need to calm down, your anger is very harmful to your health."

Zhu Youxiao managed to calm down. Now he just felt his face being slapped by Annan. He wished he could dispatch troops and horses to defeat Annan right away!

Zhang Haogu also said: "Please, Your Majesty, please put aside your thunderous wrath. The most urgent priority right now is still Yunnan."

Wei Guangwei asked rhetorically: "Where can we mobilize our troops now?"

"Right now, the imperial court is in the south. There are only 30,000 new troops in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the imperial court has 110,000 troops in the north. But after excluding Gansu, Shaanxi, Liaonan, and Monan, there are only 40,000 troops in the capital area. How to mobilize them?

"

Qiao Yunsheng suggested: "Now that the grassland has stabilized, the tribes in Monan have surrendered to our Ming Dynasty. In addition to the 30,000 new troops on the grassland, there are also 60,000 Mongolian cavalry."

"It should be possible to mobilize 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses from the grassland now, right?"

Huang Liji sighed and said, "Well, even if they can be mobilized, the journey from the grassland to Yunnan is thousands of miles away. Not to mention the money and food consumed by the army along the way, even if it reaches Yunnan, it will be several months later."

Lu Xiangsheng also said: "Besides, the south is no better than the north. Yunnan and Guizhou have many mountains and rivers, steep terrain, mountains, and jungles with poisonous miasma. How can the new northern army adapt to the mountains, dense forests, and mosquitoes and poisonous miasma in the south in a short time?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Qiao Yunsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng. What these four cabinet ministers said made sense. It was not that the court had no troops, but that the elites were all in the north at the moment, guarding the grasslands and the emperor of Liaodong.

Tai Chi.

Not only is it a long way to go when moving troops from the north to the south, but the difference in environment between the bitter cold in the north and the hot and humid environment in the south can make the soldiers unaccustomed to the climate, coupled with the poisonous miasma and poisonous insects...

Maybe it will be the same as Emperor Chengzu's first expedition to Annan, which failed without success.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao, who had a headache, looked at Zhang Haogu: "Master, what do you think?"

Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Lu Xiangsheng, and Qiao Yunsheng also looked at Zhang Haogu one after another. Zhang Haogu was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty. In the past war decisions and national policies, Zhang Haogu basically made suggestions, and Zhu Youxiao

Decide.

Now it seems that we can only rely on Zhang Haogu's opinion.

Zhang Haogu pondered: "Annan brazenly invaded our Ming border and massacred our Ming people. If the imperial court turns a blind eye, it will undoubtedly lower the imperial court's status in the hearts of Western countries."

"Therefore, Annan must fight."

Lu Xiangsheng attacked and said: "What Yuan Fu said is exactly what the small country of Annan was originally a vassal of our Ming Dynasty. Now it dares to wage war against the emperor. If it is not severely punished, other countries will definitely follow suit, and there will never be peace in the southwest."

Zhang Haogu added: "Fighting is necessary, but how to fight is the key. The New Army's tactics are to form formations with firearms to meet the enemy. There are mountains and dense forests in the southwest, and the environment is hot, humid and rainy, which has a great impact on firearms. At present, the court's

Firearms cannot withstand rain, humidity, and heat. Once the gunpowder gets wet, it condenses into sheets, making it difficult to use again."

"Moreover, there are plains in the north, which are suitable for cavalry to gallop and firearms to spread out, just like the grasslands and the battle in southern Liaoning. However, the southwest has dense forests with water nets, and there are mountains and mountains. The roads are obstructive and difficult, so they are not suitable for cavalry to spread out, and are more suitable for infantry.

"

"I believe that, if possible, we should use the local troops in the southwest as supplements, and the new army in the south of the Yangtze River as the leader. We should use infantry formations and the firearms of our new army to drive out the troops in Annan. I also issued an order and sent it to the Western countries.

Lord Annan went to court to plead guilty."

Huang Liji looked at Zhang Haogu: "Yuan Fu said it lightly, how much strength do the Duke of Guizhou and the chieftain of Yunnan still have to help the new army fight? If they can't come up with troops, the new army in Jiangnan will not adapt to the environment of Yunnan and Guizhou. The result will be

The war is at a stalemate, so what if Lord Annan doesn’t come to plead guilty?”

Zhang Haogu's expression was calm, but his words were extremely cold: "The Duke of Yunnan Guizhou, a chieftain, has been favored by the country for a long time, and has been well-fed and well-paid. Why has the imperial court favored him over the years? They all have the responsibility of guarding the land! If they do not cooperate with the new army in fighting, I will ask you

The purpose is to deprive them of their titles, remove them from office, and imprison them."

"If the war is at a stalemate... then attack the northwest and send the soldiers from the grassland south. Moreover, the three major battalions in the north and south are all expanding their troops. If fifty thousand is not enough, then one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand! The imperial court could afford to support a million guards before.

Now we can raise a million new troops. If Annan does not come to court to plead guilty, I will ask the emperor to do what my ancestor did: conquer Annan and destroy his country."

Huang Liji shuddered for no reason. He looked at Zhang Haogu next to him who could say cruel words such as destroying the country at a young age, and then thought about the people who had died in Zhang Haogu's hands since he entered the court as an official.

Suddenly, Huang Liji felt as if there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood behind Zhang Haogu.

Even though Zhang Haogu didn't kill a few people himself, there were more than tens of thousands of people who died in his writing?!

And Zhu Youxiao was also shocked by Zhang Haogu's bold words. The next moment, Zhu Youxiao suddenly clapped his arms and stood up: "Okay!"

"Worthy of being the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!"

"A decree was sent to the Duke of Guizhou and the chieftains of Yunnan, ordering them to prepare for war and defend against the barbarians. After the imperial army arrives in Yunnan, they will cooperate with the new imperial army to fight."

"The Ministry of War sent an order to Fang Yunchu in Nanjing to transfer the five military camps from Nanjing to Yunnan."

All the cabinet ministers bowed: "I accept the decree."

However, as soon as the imperial court issued the decree, another urgent message from Yunnan arrived in Beijing the next day.

Through this urgent report, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu realized how urgent the situation in Yunnan was: At present, there were only a few thousand New Army soldiers in Yunnan resisting Annan's army. According to Lang Pingyu, the captain of Yunnan Zhaoxin, Annan was

It was a premeditated attack. It broke through the barriers and attacked the city. It has swept through the three prefectures. The people of the three prefectures have turned into bones. One hundred thousand barbarians are raging in Yunnan. The situation in Yunnan is extremely dangerous!

Looking at this urgent report, Zhang Haogu's brows just furrowed: "One hundred thousand barbarians?"

"Annan mobilized 100,000 barbarian soldiers. This is not a simple attack on the border. He has long been planning to plot the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, where did he mobilize 100,000 soldiers from?"

Just as he was saying this, Zhang Ruitu came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Yuan Fu, Annan's envoy, please ask for an interview."

"Annan Envoy?!"

Why did the Annan envoy arrive in Beijing at this time? Could it be that he came to apologize?

"I agree and order all officials to come to court."

Soon, in the Hall of Zhonghe, all the civil and military officials entered the court. Zhu Youzheng sat on the dragon chair and waved his hand. Wang Tiqian immediately shouted: "Xuan, the envoy of the foreign minister Annan has come to the court to see him."

Soon, the sound of "announcement that the envoy of Foreign Minister Annan has come to the Hajj" sounded outside the hall. Envoy Annan walked into the hall respectfully, and then performed a very standard salute of three kowtows and nine bows: "Mo Zaihe, the foreign envoy of Vietnam"

Bow to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."

Yue country!

As soon as this title came out, not to mention Zhu Youxiao frowned, Zhang Haogu and others also frowned and looked at Mo Zaihe.

Annan or Jiaozhi should be the correct names. Now Mo Zaihe calls himself an envoy of the Yue Kingdom. Doesn't he know what this means?

He is testing Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and pretended not to hear the name Yue Guo: "Envoy Annan, why do you see me?"

Mo Zaihe also pretended not to hear Zhu Youxiao's title of "Annan Envoy". He bowed respectfully and bowed again, and then said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. The people of Yunnan are as close to our country as Yue, regardless of you."

I, Yunnan, now love our country of Yue, and would like to join the country of Yue and become one family. The foreign minister boldly asks His Majesty the Ming Emperor to show mercy on behalf of our leader of the country of Yue, and allow the people of Yunnan to enter our country of Yue."

As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were shocked!

Liu Hongxun, the Minister of War, immediately stood up and said angrily: "Absurd!"

"Yunnan is the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and the people of Yunnan are our subjects of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that you are not the country of Yue, but the country of Annan has been harassing the border every year and harassing the people of Yunnan, my country of Ming Dynasty. You still have the face to stand before my emperor, the Ming Dynasty.

Why do you dare to let me, the people of the Ming Dynasty, join you Annan when we are as close as one family?"

"What a wishful thinking! Does Annan want to go to war with the Ming Dynasty?"

Mo Zaihe seemed very calm: "Everything the foreign minister said is true and is sincere. I ask His Majesty the Ming Emperor to fulfill it."

"Moreover, the people of Yunnan cannot leave their homeland. I would also like to ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to show his noble spirit and allow the people of Yunnan to leave the Ming Dynasty and enter our Annan together with their houses and fields."

"In this way, the Ming Dynasty and Annan will be free from swords and wars, and the people can continue to enjoy peace. Your Majesty will show off your great power, and it will be a good story."

Zhu Youxiao was about to laugh out loud at Mo Zaihe: "You mean, you not only want my people, but also my land?"

Mo Zaihe bowed to the ground respectfully and saluted: "God has the virtue of a good life, please His Majesty the Emperor to divide Yunnan and my country of Yue."

At this point, Mo Zaihe's intention to come to court was already obvious. He wanted to take the opportunity to force Ming Dynasty to cede Yunnan to Annan!

Where did he get the courage?!

Zhu Youxiao sneered and threw the general report in front of Mo Zaihe: "Is this what you said about the people's hearts turning to Annan?"

"It doesn't count as harassing the border of our Ming Dynasty. Now we are invading on a large scale and wantonly killing our people of the Ming Dynasty. Now you want me to give Yunnan to you. Do you really think that I am a fool?"

"What?!"

"Annan has invaded Yunnan?!"

"What a shameless person!"

"A small barbarian country, shameless and seeking death!"

The ministers were shocked and angry, and they all angrily rebuked Mo Zaihe. The second minister of the dynasty, Zhang Ruitu, the Minister of Rites, stood up and angrily said: "How dare you! How dare you, a small barbarian country with a small land, speak so shamelessly in front of our great emperor?"

"Have you forgotten the lessons learned?!"

"Right now, the only way out for you is to ask the king of your country to go to court to plead guilty. I, the Ming Dynasty, hope that God has the virtue of a good life, and maybe you can be spared your life. Otherwise, when the king arrives, you will all be dead.

!”

Mo Zaihe was still kneeling on the ground, obviously risking his life: "The land of Yunnan is the old land of my country of Yue, and the people of Yunnan are also the people of my country of Yue. The Ming Emperor is rich in the world, and he controls the world thousands of miles away.

Why can't Yunnan be returned to Yue, and the two countries must fight against each other?"

Zhang Haogu said coldly: "The Ming Dynasty is rich in the world and has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. However, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is all our homeland in China, so what does it have to do with you?"

"The country of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention thousands of miles, even tens of thousands of miles, can only be more and not less. Not to mention dividing the three thousand miles of Yunnan, even an inch cannot be taken away from the hands of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youxiao said: "The chief assistant is right! The land of the Ming Dynasty is the land built by our ancestors. How can we grant it to others as a gift?"

"Aren't you just coveting my Ming Dynasty's territory?"

"Let's talk on the battlefield with real swords and real guns."

"I'm not going to kill you now, it's already the limit of my tolerance."

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

After returning to Wuying Hall, Zhu Youxiao became more and more angry as he thought about it. Looking at the tea brought by the eunuch, he violently left it on the ground. As the tea cup shattered, the eunuchs and maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and followed.

The cabinet ministers behind Zhu Youxiao were also shocked.

"Everyone, get up, I'm not angry with you."

Zhu Youxiao said, sitting on the couch, his chest rising and falling: "A mere barbarian country dares to ask me to cede Yunnan to him. Does he want me to marry off a few more princesses from the Ming Dynasty to him?!

"

"He, the ruler of Annan, thinks that my Ming Dynasty is the Song Dynasty?!"

"The Ming Dynasty did not have the habit of paying indemnities and ceding territory to relatives!"

"How is the war in Yunnan going?"

"Who has any confidence?!"

"Why hasn't Duke Qian given me a coupon yet?!"

The cabinet ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally lowered their heads. How do they know what is happening in Yunnan now?

The news that Annan's envoy arrived in Beijing and asked the Ming Dynasty to cede Yunnan's land and people to Annan soon spread in the capital, and the people in the capital were in a panic.

Who is Annan, and he dares to let me cede territory to the Ming Dynasty?

Are the Jiannu in Liaodong awesome?

Now he is so beaten that he is cowering in Shenyang and dare not show his head.

Are the Tatars in the steppe great?

The 100,000 Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces were defeated and chased 800 miles north!

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is strong and its people are rich, and its momentum is like a rainbow. The self-confidence and self-esteem of the people of the Ming Dynasty are inflated. Suddenly, a small barbarian country in the southwest border that was once destroyed by the Ming Dynasty wants to cede territory to the Ming Dynasty. This is not a slap in the face of the Ming Dynasty.

?

The people of Ming Dynasty were the first to refuse!

I will start the dynasty tomorrow, the world will be prosperous, the country will be great and the people will be arrogant, and guests from all over the world will serve you. How can I allow you to be a clown here?

For a time, the people in the capital took to the streets and shouted, asking the court to quickly send troops to pacify Annan. The tough, proud, and warlike scene of the people of the Ming Dynasty was vividly displayed before Mo Zaihe's eyes.

Seeing the people on the street wearing luxurious silks or ordinary cotton and linen clothes, shouting for the court to send troops, and even actively signing up to join the army, Mo Zaihe's eyes showed a little worry.

Annan now took advantage of the country's lack of strength in the southwest to sneak into the country. Although he swept through several areas, he didn't even conquer half of Yunnan. How could he face the powerful Ming court?

But if he doesn't dare to face the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty, then when will Annan be able to restore the prosperity of the ancient Yue Kingdom?

But look at the people of the Ming Dynasty. They have no worries about food and clothing. They have plenty of food and clothing. They are strong and strong. All of them are taller and stronger than the people of Annan. Moreover, the land of the Ming Dynasty is too big and there are too many people. The Ming Dynasty is also too big.

Proud.

Their people looked down on the barbarians from all over the world and were proud of being the people of the Ming Dynasty. That sense of superiority and condescending contempt made Mo Zaihe angry but helpless. Who gave the Ming Dynasty the strength and confidence to be like this?

Now, facing the invasion of Annan, the people of the Ming Dynasty were not frightened, but angry. They were angry because they felt that they had lost the face of a big country after being invaded by a small country like Annan.

So what will the Ming Dynasty do next? Can Annan really capture Yunnan before the Ming Dynasty's royal division arrives?

Mo Zaihe had no idea at all. He could only pray, hoping that the Mu family and the chieftain would really turn a blind eye and watch Annan's annexation of Yunnan's land become a fait accompli.
