Chapter 596: The End of the World, Thousands of Miles to Pursue the Murder!

Hongwu twenty-eighth year, mid-October.

Things here in Duobang City are finally over.

Among them, a large number of grain and officials were mobilized from Guangxi and Yunnan provinces to northern Annan.

Annan's destruction is a foregone conclusion, and any Annan chieftain noble with a little discernment can see it.

It is unclear whether Annan will fall under the rule of the Annan royal family in the future, or whether it will fall under the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming army has relatively sufficient food, the reputation of the Ming army is relatively good. Except for the resistance against the Annan chieftains, the other Annan people are relatively stable.

Moreover, here in Duobang City, the Annan people belonging to the north were basically released, which won the favor of many chieftain people.

The nation’s rebellious mood has stabilized.

Speaking of which, Annan has always been subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, and many chieftain nobles know this in their hearts.

For the Ming Dynasty's army to enter Annan, this is not an invasion, but an attempt to bring order to chaos, and is fundamentally an army of justice.

After all, there are still a small number of ethnic groups that are constantly in a state of resistance, which also led the Ming Dynasty to implement military control over the northern areas where Duobang City had been conquered.

Zhu Ying's edict also arrived in the northern area of ​​Duobang City again.

Mainly to win over and canonize chieftain nobles.

Guards were re-established within the jurisdiction of the original chieftain nobles, and some stubborn nobles, or those who were not so obedient, were directly punished.

Re-support some down-and-out nobles, and with the intervention of the Ming Dynasty, a power change was carried out for the chieftain nobles.

The newly promoted nobles naturally supported the Ming Dynasty very much. Some poor areas were quickly stabilized and began to deliver food, intelligence and other materials to the Ming Dynasty.

Including the officers, commanders, Qianhu, and Baihu of this border guard post, they were all from the upper echelons of the chieftain nobles.

These measures were implemented because it was impossible to mobilize a large number of Han people from the Ming Dynasty to migrate in a short period of time.

Nowadays, the productivity of the chieftains of various ethnic groups in Annan cannot break through the previous productivity. It can only adopt a restorative strategy. Coupled with the relationship between the chieftains and nobles, it is necessary to abandon the chieftains and nobles to rule this land.

impossible things.

If we do this forcefully, it will only lead to long-term turmoil and unrest.

In fact, whether it is the chieftain nobles themselves, the Annan royal family or the Ming Dynasty, they are essentially a community of interests. As long as the common interests are protected, they can reach a compromise with each other.

As for the suzerain country Ming Dynasty, as long as the interests are not greatly affected, everyone can still accept it.

Among them, among the chieftain nobles, when the Ming Dynasty intervened in power, more internal conflicts arose between the old and new nobles.

When a balance point is reached, the Ming Dynasty will not expend too much effort in governing the conquered Annan region.

Even if there is a shortage of officials, it will not have any impact at all.

Of course, everything still depends on the situation behind the Ming army in Duobang City.

As predicted by many people, after the reorganized Ming army left Duobang City, it was unstoppable along the way.

Hu Jiyou's army simply did not have the courage to confront them head-on.

Ye Sheng and others also directly went south to attack Sheng Long City, the eastern capital of Annan, which is now the royal family of Annan, and the city where Liu Sheng and others were imprisoned.

There are no surprises.

When the Ming army arrived, Hu Jisha, along with his cronies and troops, had already fled from the capital and did not even have the courage to defend the city.

In fact, this is not to blame Hu Ji Ya, because the location of Thang Long City is quite special. If you defend the city, there is no way to escape. In addition, you are in the city, and there are actually many close associates of the Annan royal family.

It is easy to form a situation of internal and external cooperation with the Ming army.

Resolutely giving up on Thang Long City is the best choice.

After Hu Jishen left, the Annan royal family took over the capital again and welcomed the arrival of the Ming army.

When it comes to politics, Hu Jishou is still very thoughtful.

The Ming Dynasty sent out so many troops, so naturally it wanted to get rewards in Annan.

He gave up Thang Long City today, which will inevitably lead to a conflict between the Annan royal family and the Ming army.

Hu Jiya had already received information about what the Ming army had done in the area north of Duobang City, including setting up guard posts and re-dividing aristocratic rule.

Even after the fall, Hu Ji Yao still had some cronies there, especially when the old nobles fell, they were even closer to Hu Ji Yao, so it was not difficult to get the news.

This also made Hu Jishen realize that the Ming Dynasty's move was to annex Annan.

Regarding the emergence of these circumstances, including Hu Ji-ya's own inference, he went to the Annan Palace the night before he left Thang Long City.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I am from Annan, but if the Ming army is allowed to rule Annan, Annan will never be your Majesty's Annan again."

"I have finally seen clearly that His Highness Taisun of the Ming Dynasty has great ideas about Annan, no, even the city of Champa, and intends to bring it into the direct rule of the Ming Dynasty."

"I was confused before. When the Ming Dynasty navy tried every means to station itself at the port of Champa, it should have been thought of."

"The king of Champa has ceded a city as a vassal territory to the Ming emperor Zhu Yunzhen. With this excuse, the Ming army can be justified in garrisoning the Champa country."

"Although the elite soldiers on Annan's side were defeated by me, what they got now was the direct intervention of Ming Dynasty, which gave them enough excuses."

"I have gone to Qinghua, and I don't know how long I will stay there. This meeting is probably the last time I will meet His Majesty."

"Your Majesty should know that I just don't want Annan. Annan belongs to the Annan people and has always been loyal to your Majesty."

After saying that, Hu Ji Yao knelt down on the ground and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to Chen Yong, the Supreme Emperor of Annan.

After the ceremony, Chen Yong turned around and left without waiting for a reply.

Annan's Supreme Emperor Chen Yong looked at Hu Jisha's leaving figure with complicated emotions in his eyes.

Ever since his father re-appointed Hu Ji-yao, the situation in Annan has actually been stable. Hu Ji-yao himself is a relatively talented person, there is no doubt about this.

Regarding Champa, it has always maintained a relatively strong state.

It's just that today's situation is not his own choice at all for Annan Emperor Chen Yong.

In other words, the only push was to send the eldest princess Chen Muyue to the Ming Dynasty.

...羠

The Ming army that took over the capital of Annan was more powerful than Chen Yong imagined.

The first step into the city was to establish military officer rule over the entire city.

It was at this time that Liu Sheng, Li Xiucai, and Zhao Yuanhong were able to come out of the dungeon where they had never seen the light of day.

"This Hu Jiya is so audacious that he dares to rebel against our Ming Dynasty. If we catch him this time, we must cut him into pieces."

Li Xiucai said harshly.

During his time in the dungeon, he suffered a lot. Among other things, all his excretion was done in the cell for several months.

Just the stinking smell is really unbearable.

During this period, my stomach caught a cold, and even worse, I couldn't even take a bath, so I had to endure it all the time.

It's simply... insulting to politeness!

Whether in the Western Regions or in the capital, no one has ever experienced such suffering.

"Come on, it's pretty good to be able to save a life."

Liu Sheng said indifferently.

I have never experienced anything in my life, and there are many things worse than this.

Hu Jishen didn't kill them, which was actually the best situation.

This was also because they were afraid that the three people would be killed, which would lead to Ming's rage, so that there would be no room for him to turn around in the end.

Hu Jisao also understood that the chance of the rebellion being successful was low. If he just killed three people, he would not only die, but according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the nine tribes would be destroyed.

You can't refuse some things too much, otherwise you won't even have a way out.

The first thing Zhao Yuanhong did after coming out was to immediately obtain the latest information, which was mainly to win over information from his former subordinates.

Fortunately, after the accident, the previous hidden clues were immediately hidden. Although some of them were cleaned, most of them survived.

It's not difficult to recover again.

After experiencing this incident, Zhao Yuanhong obviously had more ideas.

The first thing before him was naturally to track down the whereabouts of Li Laosi.

Traitors must be punished in the most severe manner.

Zhao Yuanhong was different from others in that he had never lived in the capital. Even though he knew that his boss had become His Highness the Ming Dynasty Taisun, his behavior was still the same as before in the Chamber of Commerce.

The punishment for traitors is not only physical destruction, but also the soul being sent to endless hell to suffer endless torture.

Liu Sheng was busy convening his old troops.

Most of the 50,000 elite soldiers were taken away as prisoners by Hu Jiyou, and some of them escaped, so naturally they have to be collected now.

Wei Xing, the commander, is still in the hands of Hu Jiyou.

Li Xiucai had nothing to do, and the current situation was not suitable for enlightenment, so he followed Zhao Yuanhong.

Speaking of which, everyone is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty and a scholar.

They were not very familiar with each other at first, but during the time in the dungeon, the relationship naturally became much closer.

After all, we were in jail together.

After some investigation, the whereabouts of Li Laosi were also discovered.

He took dozens of people with him and escaped by boat.

We took the sea route to the west.

"Zhao Yuanhong, have you really thought about it?"

"This vast sea of ​​​​people has gone to the west again. It will be who knows how many years since they left."

"Besides, His Highness Taisun didn't say anything. Is it worth it for Li Laosi?"

Li Xiucai couldn't understand why Zhao Yuanhong had to catch Li Laosi and come back. Why would he do this if he could live a good life now?

Even if I report it to His Highness the Grand Sun, this matter will be nothing.

Now Zhao Yuanhong wants to lead two hundred people to pursue Li Laosi for thousands of miles, which Li Xiucai cannot understand.

Zhao Yuanhong looked at his subordinates who were constantly carrying supplies onto the ship. He was silent for a while, and then said: "This is the rule of the Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who dares to betray the Chamber of Commerce must be captured and tried."

"This time, Li Laosi not only committed a simple betrayal, but also ruined his employer's arrangements in Annan. He lost so many brothers. We can't just let him walk away."

"In my life, I wandered around in the first half of my life, and met the Lord in the second half of my life. Now Annan doesn't need me very much anymore. No matter how many years it takes, I will catch him back."

Having said this, Zhao Yuanhong turned to look at Li Xiucai and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry too much. I have already written to His Highness. This time I am going to the West. In addition to arresting Li Laosi, I am also going to see us."

The development of the Chamber of Commerce abroad.”

"His Royal Highness Taisun established the franchise model of the Chamber of Commerce a long time ago. There is no Qunying Chamber of Commerce in the Ming Dynasty, but outside, we no longer know where the franchises are."

"When I come back, I can report to His Highness Taisun the development situation of our Qunying Chamber of Commerce outside."

"I have a token from the former Qunying Chamber of Commerce in my hand. I think the journey here will be smooth. Liu Jianjun also supports this."

"With so many firearms and supplies, as long as we don't provoke any big country, it will be safe."

"Besides, Liu Jianjun gave me his seal, so even a small country would not dare to provoke me, the Ming Dynasty."

"Don't worry, it's just that I don't know how many years it will be until we meet again."

Zhao Yuanhong said with a somewhat free and easy smile.

It's just that he hadn't smiled for a long time, so his smile was stiff, which made Li Xiucai's mouth twitch.

After the chat, the ships over there were also ready.

This sea-going ship is from the Ming Dynasty Navy. It is a little smaller than the treasure ship, but it is the latest model of sea-going ship and the materials are extremely strong.

It can withstand ordinary wind and waves on the sea.

After getting on the boat, Zhao Yuanhong did not look back.

Li Xiucai just stared blankly at the blurry ships moving away on the sea.

"He is different from us. He is the first person to follow our boss and the most loyal person to the Chamber of Commerce."

"During the Western Regions, Zhao Yuanhong proposed it himself and was willing to come to Annan to lurk. I admire him for having such a choice."

"If you really want to talk about it, people like Zhao Yuanhong are actually the most loyal supporters of the boss."

"They are the biggest contributors to the development of our Qunying Chamber of Commerce to such a scale."

"I have truly fulfilled my promise when I joined the Chamber of Commerce and worked hard for it for the rest of my life."

I don't know when Liu Sheng appeared next to Li Xiucai and said with a sigh.

This is a belief.

It is precisely this belief that led to the creation of the mythical and legendary Chamber of Commerce of Heroes.

Liu Sheng could understand, but Li Xiucai could not.

But looking at the vast sea, Li Xiucai seemed to understand something.

Some things have to be done by someone after all.

Some things also require the persistence and sacrifice of some people.

I just don’t know if I will ever come back again.
