In the 30th year of Hongwu's reign, the Ming Dynasty moved forward amidst the surging undercurrents.
All are waiting.
Waiting for the scary but old evil dragon in the palace to die.
Just half a month after Lao Zhu chopped Zhang Xin and others, good news came from the Annan battlefield, and the army commanded by the King of Chu finally captured Qinghua...
Hanoi had already taken it.
However, Hu Ji Ya was not stupid. He knew that Hanoi or Thang Long could not stop the Ming army, and he was a powerful minister. There were many ministers who opposed him. If the Ming army really came to the city, there would probably be a lot of people waiting to open the city gate. .So he took Chen Shunzong and Chen Rikun to his hometown of Qinghua, and then used the so-called Western Capital City built before to defend Qinghua, and at the same time sent people to sue Zhu Yuanzhang for peace.
but……
He was rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The banner used by Lao Zhu was that Hu Jisao was monopolizing power and causing chaos in Annan, so he, as the superior of Annan, sent troops to attack him.
Sum?
Is a rebellious minister qualified to seek peace from the emperor?
Unless he surrenders himself and goes to the Ming Dynasty to accept the punishment of the Ming Emperor, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not stop.
Of course, this was impossible for Hu Jiyou.
This clearly meant his death.
Therefore, he would rather hold the emperor hostage to command the princes, lead Chen Rikun to stick to Thanh Hoa, and call on the powerful and powerful kings in Annan, but in the end few listened to him. If the powerful and powerful did not add insult to injury, they were worthy of him. In fact Everyone was competing to surrender to the King of Chu. After the King of Chu conquered Thang Long, Wang Bi and Yang Wen led the main force of the Ming army to advance by sea and land, and finally surrounded Thanh Hoa in one fell swoop, and then used gunpowder blasts to blow open the city wall.
The rest is street fighting.
The Ming army massacred people in Thanh Hoa and finally captured the city.
Hu Jiyou's family was captured and taken to the Ming Dynasty together with Chen Rikun.
The latter is also guilty.
Not only him, but his father Chen Shuming is also guilty.
Because it was Chen Yuzong and Chen Rixuan who first professed their vassalage to the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Dadu, he immediately sent an envoy to proclaim himself a vassal and pay tribute. Similarly, Annan was also canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Chen Rixuan died of illness before the envoy returned. The heir he left behind was His brother's adopted son Yang Rili was called Chen Rizhen in the Ming Dynasty. After the latter succeeded to the throne, he continued the line of becoming a minister and completed the entire process in accordance with his will. However, Chen Rizhen only reigned for one year before he was overthrown by a coup launched by Chen Shuming. He killed them and then reported them to the Ming Dynasty. However, Lao Zhu thought that this Tamar was playing tricks on me, so he exchanged three for three years. Even if he didn't quite understand what happened, he knew that there must be something going on.
So he was very unhappy with Chen Shuming. He just used the same method as Li Chenggui to let Chen Shuming have the power to handle state affairs before the king's seal.
Become a temporary worker!
Now is the time to settle accounts.
Therefore, before Chen Rikun arrived in the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang had already received a report from the King of Chu. In order to usurp the throne, Chen Shuming falsely accused Chen Rikun of not being of Chen's blood...
In fact, there may be problems with this matter.
Modern Vietnamese insist that Yang Rili is the son of a prostitute, and his father took him as a concubine after his mother became pregnant, so he is not of the Chen family. Chen Shuming and others took the throne to restore orthodoxy, but the main reason should be that when he was in power, Annan officially completed his submission to the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute, which is similar to Nanbang's displeasure with Li Chenggui. But it is difficult to tell whether this kind of thing is true or not. Being pregnant and being taken as a concubine is not directly holding a child and being taken as a concubine. Who can Can it be proved that it is true? Could it be that Chen Shuming took photos as a souvenir and got married with a big belly? Anyway, Chen Shuming killed him in the end, and Chen Shuming was recognized by the ministers and ruled Annan for 20 years. It can be said that it is relatively stable, so even if he is given It is normal for Chen Rixuan to make up such a crime.
No one will question it either.
After all, it is said that Chen Rizhen is actually very stupid and unethical.
In short, the King of Chu who now occupied Thang Long has investigated clearly and it was Chen Shuming who compiled it.
He would do anything to usurp the throne.
The sky has eyes!
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty could finally seek justice for Chen Rizhen!
Immediately afterwards, a large group of loyal ministers and righteous people who endured humiliation and righteousness came out one after another to report to the King of Chu that Chen Shuming had done anything to usurp the throne and did not hesitate to frame Chen Rizhen as the son of a prostitute. of.
Of course there must be orphans.
Fang Xiaoru was killed and the ten tribes of Yi all had orphans. Lian Zining was killed and the whole village had orphans. Is it strange that Chen Rizhen had an orphan?
What remains is that His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.
"Your dad is also very good at playing!"
Yang Feng sighed with emotion.
He swore that he really did not teach this routine to Zhu Yuanzhang.
But this does delegitimize Chen Shuming's lineage, and it also means that Chen Rikun's inheritance is illegal, and Hu Jisha can't change his identity as a rebellious official and traitor, because he is a close associate of Chen Shuming and must have participated. In this way, Annan The king has no heir. The orphan should have been created by Annan's surrendered ministers to show that they still have legitimacy, but it is reasonable to say whether this kind of status seal is feasible. After all, after more than 20 years, suddenly The authenticity of the orphan who appeared has been unable to be verified. We cannot rashly confer the fake title of Annan King. Instead, we can say that we are loyal to Chen Rizhen and give him an individual title to enshrine him.
As for Annan and Hanoi, it was probably the fiefdom of the King of Chu.
Set up Jiaozhou capital.
The king of Chu moved his vassal state to Jiaozhou.
The capital city of Jiaozhou was designated as the vassal city of the King of Chu.
As for those powerful locals in Annan who surrendered, they could just make them chieftains.
In the end, the Annan Chengxuan Government Department was established, and places such as the Red River Delta and Qinghua could be converted into prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty. Other places were granted to these powerful people. A system similar to Yunnan's mixed prefectures and counties directly under the imperial court and chieftains was established.
Of course, for Annan, completing this step is just the beginning.
What is really difficult is control.
But if there is really a vassal king in charge, it will be easier after all...
Or it’s not convenient to give up.
After all, this is related to the face of the royal family, and there is also the issue of ancestral system. Even if more power needs to be invested, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, it is necessary to ensure the control of Annan. Moreover, at this time, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is already crushing. In fact, the most The best thing is that at this time, Annan resisted, and they were cleaned up in one wave.
"You don't want to contract again, do you?"
The little princess said warily.
"Well, there's no need for this. It's a difficult place to deal with, and your brother probably won't welcome me either."
Yang Feng said.
The King of Chu now wishes him to die!
Although Hanoi is actually not worse than Wuchang, after all, the climate difference between the two places is actually not big. If you really want to calculate it, it is at Guangzhou level at most, even cooler than Guangzhou. But the problem is that he has already established everything in Wuchang, and the surrounding areas are considered In the civilized world, throw him into Hanoi. Not only will he have to start everything over, but he will also have to face a group of unruly people all the time. He could have been the Prince of Peace, but now he has to be heavily guarded even when he sleeps.
There's no comparison!
Of course, compared to his fifth brother, he actually knew that he got a bargain.
His fifth brother has all gone to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Of course, these are no longer important. The Ming Dynasty finally completed the conquest of Annan. The current Ming Dynasty, except for the northwest, has basically restored the territory of the Tang Dynasty...
There's even more hibiscus.
Moreover, its control over the southwest also exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty.
If you include those in Japan, it can basically reach from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Strait of Malacca in the south.
Lao Zhu finally achieved an achievement that reached far beyond the Han and Tang dynasties.
As for the Western Regions...
"His Royal Highness King Yan is here!"
Following the shouts outside, Zhu Di walked up the stairs majestically.
Then he looked at his sister's shameful attire with some horror. His sister was actually wearing pants, very tight pants, and a silk cardigan on her upper body. She couldn't even hide her figure. She looked very hot standing there.
Eye.
At least by his standards, it can be said to be eye-catching.
"Brother?"
The little princess saluted and said.
Her brother immediately returned to normal and nodded majestically.
She immediately sat down at her desk...
She always wears all kinds of modern clothes in this office. Not to mention Zhu Yunxi, even Zhu Yuanzhang is very aware of it and even wears it out sometimes. It is precisely because of her taking the lead that women in the capital are now ready to make a move. Although she wears it out.
Indeed, no one dared to do so yet, but it was no longer uncommon to wear it in the back house. Those Confucian scholars angrily criticized this moral corruption while secretly criticizing it for daydreaming. As for Zhu Yuanzhang, it was completely ruined.
He couldn't control it anyway.
He can't even take care of his own daughter, so why should he care about others?
Even in recent years, most of the original restrictions on clothing have been relaxed, and it makes no difference whether they are relaxed or not. Common people are not allowed to wear gold and jade? Yang Feng's pile of righteous daughters parade through the market with gold and jade every day. Why are we Ming women inferior to others? Common people are not allowed to wear gold and jade.
Yellow, red and other colors?
They wear it every day!
We Ming people can't wear it, but they wear it casually?
Is this fair?
So just don't worry about it.
If you have money, you can wear whatever you like!
"Your Majesty, you're not here to discuss business, are you? Just talk to your sister about this directly. It doesn't matter whether it's a loan or a deposit."
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, are you interested in going out together?"
Zhu Di said very directly.
"Out of the fortress, so His Majesty the Emperor finally made up his mind to let you march westward? You can be considered his most convenient tool, but what about your errand to welcome Jiahe?"
Yang Feng said.
This is nothing surprising.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually had used up his son.
Zhu Di, like Zhu Yunwen, was used by Zhu Yuanzhang to urge Zhu Yunxi. Although Zhu Yunxi did not complete the transformation he expected, he had shown the strength of a qualified emperor, especially because of the Heshen incident, he had actually gained control of the northern provinces.
At this time, Lao Zhu began to abandon these tool men. Zhu Yunwen's ban meant that His Majesty's principles had completely shifted to Zhu Yunxi's successful succession to the throne, and he began to pave the way for the latter to successfully ascend the throne after his death.
Zhu Yunwen was abandoned.
Then Zhu Di would have to abandon it too.
Give him an army and let him lead the western expedition. When Zhu Yunxi succeeds to the throne, arrange everything and let him come back.
Or there is no need to come back, just find a new place for him to move to!
"I am still in charge of the envoy to welcome Jiahe, but I will lead the fleet to Fusang. After seeing off the fleet, I will go to Peiping. Then I will mobilize 30,000 cavalry from Peiping, Peiping Dusi and Shanxi Xingdusi, and then go north from Kaiping and go deep into the desert.
To the north, end at Yuyuerhai. If there are no prisoners, continue westward to Helin."
Zhu Di said.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not really have that many hundreds of thousands of people who marched into Mobei.
That includes all logistics and so on.
And it has to be called something.
In the scene where Qiu Fu's entire army was annihilated, only 10,000 people actually penetrated the grassland. This was determined by logistics capabilities. In this era, if hundreds of thousands of troops really penetrated the grassland, it was not a war, but a suicide. Logistics is simply impossible.
support.
Even eating grass is not enough.
Thirty thousand cavalry is already a lot.
"No more?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
There are no Mongols on this line at all.
Of course, there must be some scattered small tribes, but there is no main force.
At present, the Northern Yuan Dynasty is in the west. Until the early years of Jianwen, Guilichi, who was the orthodox Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, also established the Khan's court in Hexi. In fact, it was on the grassland north of the Hexi Corridor and extended southward to Hami. This was the Jing Dynasty.
The Battle of Nanjing had already begun, and they were still in the west at that time. The recovery of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was actually due to the Battle of Jingnan. The Ming Dynasty did not care about the north, and then the Northern Yuan Khanate, which had gone to the west, broke up with the four tribes of Oara.
The former took the opportunity to return to his homeland eastward, and then it was the part called Tatar by the Ming Dynasty. It was Zhu Di's main opponent in the future, Arutai. During this period, he successively supported Guilichi, Benya lost his place, and waited for the Great Khan to return.
Go to the grassland as far as the fishing sea in the east.
After the peace was over, Zhu Di finally freed up his hands and began to sweep them away again.
Without Jingnan, they would have no chance to return to the east. They would eventually continue westward under the continued pressure of the Ming army, and then completely enter Siberia and Central Asia.
So now that Zhu Di goes to Mobei, he will definitely return without success.
Zhu Yuanzhang could not have known this.
so……
"Then we can only wait for the imperial decree."
Zhu Di said somewhat sadly.
He actually understood that his father just exiled him to Helin and waited there. When his father died and Zhu Yunxi succeeded to the throne, he would think of him again.
It's a pity that he just felt the family affection of his father. He stayed in the capital for less than a year, and now he is being kicked away by his father. First, he kicked Huining, which caused nearly half of his men to disperse, and then kicked him to Fusang.
Although he won the battle in Fusang, he actually didn't have many close friends anymore. After all, he was the King of Yan, and the three bodyguards were actually in Peiping. They had not returned for many years. Among the three bodyguards in Peiping, all the close men had been replaced. Even Zhang Fu
They all went to Longquan Guards. During the shipbuilding period in the capital, it seemed that he had military power, but in fact there were not many old generals under his command, and even Zhang Yu was transferred away.
They don’t understand the navy!
They can indeed fight.
But they are all cavalry generals. Should we let them become navy?
So Zhu Di seems to have an army of 20,000, but in fact all the generals are newcomers, and only Ma He is his confidant, and the others are not. Now he has just successfully built the navy, and kicked him to He Lin.
…
This is the farthest place, where should I kick him?
What kind of dad is this?
"So, you want me to follow you to show your innocence?"
