Looking at the empty military camp opposite, the Rakshasa people finally walked out of their stone city and packed up the spears with their comrades' heads.

Tubazov's face was depressed. He was originally going to take advantage of the wind and cold to give the Jingbei Army a fatal blow. After all, his soldiers had sufficient experience in fighting in the snow and ice, but the artillery on which the Jingbei Army relied for its fame would have various problems in the cold winter.

Unfortunately, they retreated like this...

It was like a long-planned heavy punch, suddenly losing its target, Tubazov felt extremely frustrated.

The Jingbei army retreated to the south of Wuliang Prefecture and practiced on the vast grassland. The Shaanxi-Gansu new soldiers caressed their war horses and couldn't let it go.

Hou Xuanyan was already a little tired of the war in this place, but it would not work without fighting. Tsarist Russia stretched its feet too long, and it was time for them to expand eastward in a crazy manner. If they did not curb the bear at this time, it would be much more difficult for them to seize food from the bear mouth.

The trees and minerals in Siberia will sooner or later become important resources, and this is a war for the future.

Under the rule of the court, which was dominated by corvee and peasant taxes, the war of foreign expansion could not obtain equivalent benefits. Only countries with developed commerce and advanced industries could make a fortune through foreign wars.

However, the war in the desert could not bring markets to the merchants of their country, but only provided some raw materials for fur and livestock.

If it weren't for the full treasury, the battlefield in Mobei alone would be enough to drag down the Ming Dynasty with a profound heritage. Hou Xuanyan knew that his empire was just starting and could not withstand such troubles. He had to find new sources of wealth as soon as possible to support this war.

In this anxiety, good news came from the southwest. With the support of the Dutch, the Siam king brazenly attacked Annan.

Annan is Vietnam in later generations. In fact, this place is not nominally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, but a vassal territory of the Ming Dynasty.

During the reign of Emperor Yongle, Zhu Di sent troops to Vietnam to overthrow the Hu Dynasty, and set up the Jiaozhi Administrator's Office on the map of the Jiaoqi Administrator's Office to directly rule Vietnam. Later, his grandson Zhu Zhanji withdrew Jiaozhi, which directly shook the Ming Dynasty's deterrence in the South China Sea and shook the Ming Dynasty's status as the leader. From then on, the small countries in this place became no longer tamed.

Since the abandonment of Jiaozhi, all the rulers of Annan regarded the Ming Dynasty as an enemy and had constant friction with each other. Later, Emperor Jiajing decided to regain his hometown. At that time, the Annan Emperor Mo Dengyong was so scared that he tied up and bowed to him with dozens of ministers. He went to Zhennan Pass to request surrender to the Ming officials. The Ming Dynasty demoted Annan Kingdom to the Annan Commander's Office, and was nominally incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he was still self-governed by others.

The Mo family's surrender also left a good impression on the Ming Dynasty. The court was very satisfied with this kid who knew the current affairs. So later, the Li Dynasty in Annan was restored, and after the Li Dynasty was restored in the south, the Li Dynasty was able to revive. Li Shizong sent envoys to the Ming Dynasty and requested the Ming court to restore the title of "King of Annan". However, the Ming court temporarily granted the title of "Entertainment of Annan" on the grounds that the situation was not determined. It is said that the Mo family was a rebellious thief. The Li family overthrew the Mo family, and the Ming Dynasty, who protected the son, told the Li family that you could seize power and you would ced Gaoping and Taiyuan to the descendants of the Mo family.

The situation is stronger than that of the people. Although Li was extremely reluctant, he had to swallow his anger and let his descendants of the old enemy Mo occupy the two cities.

The orchids are beautiful and the chrysanthemums are fragrant. I cannot forget the beauty.

The scenery in Jiangnan is very different from autumn, and it always makes people linger. Especially the chrysanthemums in the yard are full of ornamentality and fun to pick.

At this moment, Hou Xuanyan was in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden with Bian Saisai, enjoying the chrysanthemums, and was so tired that he was sweating.

Bian Saisai supported the ground with his hands, his legs were stilted, and he crouched on him. Hou Xuanyan put his hands under his head, leaned upward, and watched him enter and exit.

"The light muscles and weak bones are scattered and the golden stamens are flowing."

Seeing her frowning, her eyes were blurred, her orioles were wailing, and her waist was swaying, and her waist was swaying. She was infected by this beautiful scenery for a moment. She pulled her thighs with her hands, and she couldn't reach the roots, reaching the depths, and was astonished as she was.

Although it is a graceful thing to enjoy chrysanthemums in late autumn, it is really hard to do it. Especially a weak woman like Bian Saisai, who was immediately held in Hou Xuanyan's arms and comforted her softly.

At this moment, a tiny sound of footsteps came from outside, which scared Bian Saisai to get up. Hou Xuan said, "It's okay, it's the spiritual medicine."

Lingyao was still a girl when she was in Hou Mansion. Bian Saisai didn't expect Hou Xuan to act like such a beast. She thought that the past two years had passed and Lingyao was still an ignorant girl. She was so scared that she got up even more nervous to dress. She packed her butt and ran away from the scene. Before leaving, she didn't forget to lift Hou Xuanyan's robe and cover him.

After the elixir came, Qiong's nose sucked, smelled the familiar smell, his face turned red, and he whispered: "Master, news comes from Jiaozhi that the King of Burma attacked the Annan Li family, and they are asking for help."

Hou Xuanyan looked happy, feeling more comfortable than before, and stood up and said, "When did it happen?"

"It has been half a month since the news came. It is estimated that the Siamese have already gone to many places at this time."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "It's okay, even if he was beaten down, it's a good thing. The opportunity for us to reach out to the Nanyang area has finally come."

Lingyao certainly didn't know what Hou Xuanyan planned, and frowned and said, "Master, protecting Annan can establish his authority. After all, he is our vassal, but it seems that there is no benefit to send troops to other places."

"Why is my stupid medicine not good? The whole of Nanyang is my granary and port. If I don't take this place down, what can I do to support the hundreds of thousands of troops in Mobei?"

Hou Xuanyan was on the long northern border, with millions of soldiers and thousands of good generals. The only established army in Jiangnan was the Hunan Barracks. It happened that this place was closer to Annan, and this was not accidental. Hou Xuanyan had already made plans. If the Dutch had not taken the lead in taking action, he would have to find some reason to send troops.

"Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while. In the Jinling Martial Arts Hall, thousands of students studied military techniques day and night, practiced riding and shooting, and taught firearms. There were no strong enemies in this battle, and they just happened to be pulled out to practice hands. The garrison of the Malacca and the Fujian Navy can also support participating in the war, and we attacked on both sides."

Lingyao looked at the energetic Hou Xuanyan in a daze, and suddenly shivered in his heart. Could it be that the master had planned this matter long ago?

Hou Xuan tightened his belt and held Lingyao's hand and said, "Let's go to the martial arts lecture hall and mobilize these boys."
