Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "We, the Ming Dynasty, are a country of etiquette. We should convince people with reason. You must change your hot temper."
Bei Lin said in a grand manner: "Back to the emperor, Cai Chen had a talk with Chen Liulin, the Annan envoy, outside the palace. The man suddenly repented and was willing to abandon the darkness and join the light, and be the vanguard of the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Annan!"
Cao Nai couldn't help but open his mouth. Are you really trying to reason with people?
I'm just getting older and my eyesight is a bit blurry, but I'm not blind!
Are you like this...?
"Okay!"
However, Zhu Qizhen looked overjoyed and said: "No one is a sage. He has no faults. If he knows his mistakes, he will correct them. There is no great virtue. This Chen, Chen... or something, since he has the heart of enlightenment, I call him to the palace. I have my own instructions!"
”
In the astonished eyes of everyone, Chen Liulin returned to the palace.
This time, he no longer had the arrogant momentum he had just now, but was submissive and kept a distance from Beilein intentionally or unintentionally.
"Chen Liulin, the criminal, thank you His Majesty the Emperor for not killing me!"
Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on Chen Liulin again, making secret calculations in his heart.
When Emperor Xuanzong abandoned Annan, he naturally had his own considerations. However, in the long run, what he gave up was the whole of Nanyang.
From the perspective of future generations, this decision is not wise.
When you come to this world, you will not let the regrets in history happen again.
The problem in Mobei has been solved, and the next step is Annan.
This battle is imperative.
Regardless of whether there is a reason or not, even if there is no reason, you must find a reason.
He even considered asking Jin Yiwei to get some white powder, saying it was a weapon of mass destruction secretly developed by Annan Kingdom...
Now, the army led by Zhang Fu has set off, and the real trump card is the Shenji Battalion led by the younger brother. It has also gone to sea and will arrive in Champa soon.
At least for now, the reason for joining the army is not sufficient.
Now that Chen Liulin has sent it to your door, you must make good use of it!
"Chen Liulin, you just said that I am not as wise as the King of Annan, and you said that I was the envoy of the Southern Dynasty and met the emperor of the Northern Dynasty..."
"The guilty minister was wrong, wrong... Please show mercy to His Majesty the Emperor!"
Chen Liulin was so scared that he was trembling all over. He thought he would say a few harsh words and leave in a grand manner.
But I didn't expect that the other party didn't care about martial arts at all, and just beat me violently.
He even threatened to kill himself as soon as he left the palace.
This is not an important minister of the country, but a fight between street gangsters...
However, looking at this posture, he completely believed that as long as he walked out of the palace, he might really die.
When life and death are at stake, face seems not so important...
Zhu Qi Zhendan opened his mouth and said: "Annan Kingdom does not abide by the rules of ministers. It is natural law for me to raise troops to attack it."
"Yes, yes...this is the law of heaven!"
Chen Liulin suppressed the grief and anger in his heart and echoed.
Zhu Qizhen sat firmly and said: "Annan rebels against the king and the same clan, and the ministers and others are all punished as treason. As for you...just go to Honglu Temple to pay your penalty. When my Ming soldiers attack Qinghua, I will say it again."
and dispose of it."
Chen Liulin burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Annan has been the hometown of Jiaozhi of the Han Dynasty since ancient times. Now that your Majesty has accepted it as a Han territory, I... am overjoyed."
Zhu Qizhen smiled: "You said this yourself, why not do this? After you return to Honglu Temple, you can write a memorial first!"
Chen Liulin was a little confused, thinking that I just said that casually, just to survive, don’t take it seriously!
He obviously wants to be a loyal minister, but if he is allowed to submit this memorial first, won't he be upset by the number one traitor in the Southern Kingdom?
Zhu Qi Zhendan said: "Is it possible that the Qing family refuses?"
Chen Liulin gritted his teeth: "I am overjoyed, and I should set an example for everyone in Annan. Since the Han Dynasty, Annan has been the land of the Han Dynasty. This is the origin, and I should pay tribute to it."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "I'm waiting for your memorial. Okay, just step back!"
Of course Chen Liulin was not willing to give in, but he had no choice.
Nowadays, I am a swordsman and I am a fish, so I have no choice but to obey obediently.
He thought to himself that one day someone would understand his difficulties. When the Ming army was defeated in Annan, I would definitely be redressed.
However, the most important thing now is to save life. As the Han people have an old saying, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about not having firewood.
Only by leaving this life behind can we have the opportunity to witness the rise of the Southern Dynasties!
Chen Liulin turned around and left, and Bei Lin immediately followed: "Mr. Chen, I'll see you off!"
"No... no need, no trouble..."
Chen Liulin stumbled and fell to the ground, then rolled and crawled out of the hall.
Bei Lin shook her head, turned around and said: "Since the Emperor is planning to abolish the Annan vassal state and re-establish the Chief Envoy, in my opinion, there are still many loyal people in Annan, such as the envoy Chen Liulin.
Although he is from Annan, he has profound cultural attainments in the Central Plains. Moreover, he is very loyal to our country, the Ming Dynasty. I invite you, Your Majesty, to reward loyal ministers like Chen Liulin so that their reputation can spread throughout the world."
Zhu Qizhen squinted his eyes, naturally understanding what Beilin was planning.
"The Qing family, tell me, what is the appropriate reward for them?"
Seeing the monarch and his ministers say something to each other, Cao Nai and others were shocked at first, but gradually became numb.
Destroy it quickly!
Tired...
Beilin still said with great interest: "In this battle, the role of the Shenji Battalion is crucial. Why not name the ship carrying the Shenji Battalion the Zhongyi Chen Liulin. In this way, not only will Chen Liulin be remembered in history, but also the Shenji Battalion,
When fighting, it is also a matter of honor!"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help it, so he burst into laughter.
This Beilin is so bad. She beats people and pushes them into the fire pit.
Poor Chen Liulin will definitely become famous in Annan from now on.
Perhaps because of Zhu Qizhen's influence, everyone else was happy.
Even Cao Nai, such a strict old man, couldn't help but laugh.
Although Beilin is somewhat rebellious and disrespectful on weekdays, it is actually very satisfying to watch him cheating on others.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't think it's enough. When I worship my ancestors in the future, I will also add his name to tell the ancestors that in Annan, I don't know how many righteous men and women of Cao Qing's family who are loyal to the Han Dynasty.
You are responsible for this ritual."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Cao Nai was feeling silly and happy. When he heard this, his face dropped again.
After all, the battle hasn’t even started yet, and you’re already thinking about worshiping your ancestors?
If the situation on the front line is not ideal, do you still need face?
"I... obey your order."
After much thought, Cao Nai decided to agree first.
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and then said: "I think this is not enough. I have to send an envoy to Chen Liulin's village to build a stone square for him and give his family a loyalty and festival square. How about this? Hanlin Academy
The purpose of compiling a "Jiaozhi Loyalty Record" is to select loyal people from Jiaozhi's hometown and write biographies for them, so that they can be famous for generations and inherit their descendants. Tang Qing's family, you are responsible for this matter, the first name in the "Loyalty Record"
I chose Chen Liulin and wanted to adopt his deeds of serving the Ming Dynasty when he was in the capital. I want to read this biography myself."
Tang Xinggu saluted: "Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and I admire you very much!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "It just so happens that several members of the Qing family are here, why don't we discuss how to govern after the imperial court regains Jiaozhi?"
At first glance, these words are correct. When Xuanzong gave up Jiaozhi, he failed to deal with the issue of governance. Therefore, how to rule this time is the top priority.
But the problem is, you haven’t defeated it yet!
Cao Nai had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The emperor's concerns are not unreasonable. However, now that the army has set off, I believe that we should focus on the march route. The imperial court is thousands of miles away from Annan, where there are high mountains and dense forests. Our army
When fighting in a foreign land, you still need to be cautious!"
Zhu Qizhen still had a disapproving expression: "The Qing family is worrying too much. It's just Annan. It doesn't matter. The battle can be resolved in a month at most. Now I and you need to discuss the next step as soon as possible. Wait for the front line
Once the good news comes, it can be implemented immediately!"
Cao Nai frowned and said: "Your Majesty, in this march and war... sometimes, you can't just look at the superficial combat effectiveness. There are many factors that affect the trend of the battle, so don't be careless!"
"Don't worry, I have my own plan!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked again: "Beilin, please tell me, how should Annan Kingdom be governed in the future... no, it's Jiaozhi?"
Beilin thought for a moment and then said: "I heard that the south of Jiaozhi is an open plain with thousands of miles of fertile fields. Rice can be harvested three times. It is the most important granary in the world. Not only that, many places along the coast are very suitable for building good ports, regardless of whether they are for the Western Ocean.
, or fishing at sea, all have great benefits. Moreover, Jiaozhi is the hometown of the Han Dynasty, and there are many people who admire Han culture. In fact, who will rule, what difference does it make to them? Even if there are ambitious people, the minister will still
I heard that there are also a large number of Han people in Jiaozhi. Now that I heard that they have returned to the imperial court, I must be overjoyed."
Cao Nai couldn't help but said: "Although Jiaozhi is the homeland of the Han Dynasty, after all, so many years have passed, and Emperor Taizong has learned from the past. These people have long been alienated from morality. If left unchecked, I am afraid that they will still be dissatisfied and loyal to the king." More than 20 years ago, when Emperor Xuanzong took the throne, he ordered the withdrawal of troops on the grounds that "for several years, one side has been unrest and has repeatedly visited the king's army."
After the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops, Le Li immediately issued the "Ping Wu Da Gao", saying that his own struggle against the Ming Dynasty was "an act of benevolence and righteousness. We must calm the people and defeat the enemy, and don't fight violence first." He then proposed that the Ming Dynasty and Annam were "mountains and rivers".
The feudal territories were special, and the customs in the north and south were also different." Therefore, it was necessary to break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty and establish a country on its own, so the Later Li Dynasty was established.
Over the years, because the Ming Dynasty has been harassed by the Mongols in Mobei and the Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast, it has long been unable to visit the south.
The Annan Kingdom took the opportunity to send troops southward to attack the Champa Kingdom.
As the front line continued to win, Annan State also began to become arrogant. It actually wanted to imitate the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the past, treating the Ming Dynasty as the Northern Dynasty, and calling itself the Southern Dynasty.
Cao Nai's worries are not unreasonable. He failed to hold on at the beginning, and now he is coming again. Who knows whether he will make the same mistake again.
Beilin pondered for a moment, then said: "There are millions of military households in our Ming Dynasty. Many of them have lost their combat functions. Many people live in hunger and cold. The main reason is that the military land is scarce and not enough for them to make a living.
, it is better to move these people to Annam, let them farm in Thanh Hoa and Thang Long, and encourage everyone to catch sea fish, which is enough to make them self-sufficient and feed hundreds of thousands of troops."
Cao Nai thought for a while and said: "The military households stationed in Annan can not only strengthen the rule, but also reduce the burden on the country. It is an idea that kills two birds with one stone."
Zhu Qizhen then nodded and said: "In that case, the cabinet issued an imperial edict, ordering Zhang Fu, the king of Jing'an County, to temporarily lead the army to suppress Shenglong, Qinghua and other places. He will also handle military and political affairs. He also issued an order to mobilize military households from all over the country.
Jiaozhi. Since Jiaozhi is the southern barrier of the Ming Dynasty, let’s make it the capital of Jiaozhi!”
The Chief Envoy and the Dusi are different. Generally speaking, the Mainland has the Chief Envoy, while the border towns have the Dusi.
The full name of this Dusi is the Duzhongshisi. The Duzhongshi is a military institution that also takes care of civil affairs. In other words, the Dusi is responsible for military and civil affairs, while the Chief Envoys Division is separate.
For example, Datong, before Mobei was conquered, was called Datong Dusi. After Mobei was recaptured, Datong was no longer a border town, so the Dusi was removed and changed to the Chief Envoy Division. This is the reason.
Of course, although the levels are the same, Dusi has greater power, and at the same time, his responsibilities are also very important.
From then on, the main problem in Annan was how to manage it. The large number of immigrants who arrived there were the foundation of the Ming Dynasty's rule. Then a group of Annan people would be recruited and they would slowly gain a foothold. However, these military households and immigrants could only support themselves.
, Only then can we continue to reproduce from generation to generation, and only then can we firmly control that fertile land within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In the future, Jiaozhi will become an important thoroughfare in the Western Ocean, and trade can then be used to further strengthen the rule.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly, and then said: "In that case, you gentlemen, please prepare as soon as possible!"
Cao Nai was about to say goodbye when he suddenly thought of a question.
No, we didn’t come to you to discuss how to conquer Annan or how to strengthen our rule. We came to see you for something!
"Your Majesty, I think that the machine to strive for success should be left to the craftsmen to study. There are already mountains of cabinet memorials. You'd better go and take a look!"
These words are already very tactful, and they are almost pointing at the nose and scolding the foolish king.
As the king of a country, he is always tinkering with all kinds of strange and cunning skills, and ignores the major affairs of the court. Isn't this stupid?
Zhu Qizhen scratched his head and said: "You said this, King Xi is not here, the cabinet will just handle it..."
"No, Your Majesty!"
Cao Nai was very excited and said: "It is unreasonable to act like this!"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head secretly. It was really difficult for this old gentleman. Logically speaking, the emperor has nothing to do, so what a great opportunity you have to seize it!
However, Cao Nai seemed not to have the consciousness to be a powerful minister at all, and his attitude was very determined.
"Okay, Beilin, you continue to keep an eye on the experiment these days. If there is any progress, please inform me in time!"
In desperation, Zhu Qizhen had to compromise.
I just need to review a few memorials, why don’t I go there...
