Thang Long City was not damaged and the handover was carried out smoothly.
For the people of Annan, it was just a change of ruler, and there was no difference. Therefore, the whole process was orderly, and occasionally there were some disturbances, which quickly subsided.
After Zhang Fu took over Shenglong, he first killed Li Sicheng and his son in the street, and then issued three laws.
Article 1: All taxes are halved.
Article 2: Re-invent the acres of land, and all land that has been occupied in the past will be returned to the people after verification.
Article 3: The people of Annan and the people of Ming Dynasty are treated equally. They can take the imperial examination and become officials in the court. Of course, we are talking about the new imperial examination.
Once these three laws were promulgated, the people of Thang Long City were overjoyed.
For many years, Annan has been in turmoil between the Ming Dynasty and the Houli Dynasty. Every time there is a war, the people at the lowest level are the first to bear the brunt.
As long as there is a war on the front line, young and strong men will be arrested and sent to the army. If there are no young and strong men in the family, they will have to pay high amounts of money and grain to pay for the military expenses. The people have already been miserable.
Knowing that Ming Dynasty was attacking again, everyone was filled with fear and uneasiness.
Maybe, they will die on the battlefield, maybe, the only food they have in their homes will be expropriated.
All in all, they hated Ming Dynasty.
However, when the Ming army occupied Thang Long, executed the Li family and his son, and promulgated new laws, everyone suddenly discovered that perhaps, what they hated was not the Ming Dynasty, but the war.
Without the Houli Dynasty, life would have been much easier under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
People all over the city rushed to tell each other and passed the three chapters of the Ming Dynasty to each other.
Some people didn't believe it at first, but when they saw that the Ming army really started to investigate the nobles and measure their fields, they were finally convinced that the Ming army they had heard before was extremely vicious, like the demons of hell, and it was just a lie made up by the nobles!<
/p>
Since then, the only trace of nostalgia they had for the Li Dynasty has disappeared.
After Zhang Fu finished all this, he left the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Bin, to take charge of Shenglong, while he took the Champa royal family, Princess Mahagui and Princess Xuanzhen, to Qinghua City to join Zhu Qiyu.
Thanh Hoa City is much more miserable than Thang Long City. Most of the houses were burned down and need to be rebuilt.
Fortunately, some people in the army knew how to burn lime and make cement, so they organized local people to cut mountains and cut trees, and built cement workshops. Suddenly, the entire Thanh Hoa City was under construction.
The most well-preserved thing here is the royal palace. The Champa king Mahabharaya, who was captured by the Annamites, was imprisoned in the palace.
Li Sicheng and his son were in such a hurry to escape that night that they had no time to consider that there was another prisoner here. Their men did not receive clear orders and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so Mahabharaya escaped.
However, when the Ming army found him, he had been imprisoned for three days and was almost starving to death...
Mahabharaya didn't know what was happening outside. He only heard a loud noise like thunder, and then a fire burst into the sky. The fire burned for two days and two nights. The palace was in chaos, and none of the guards at his door were there.
No trace.
It wasn't until the third day that I learned that King Tan of the Ming Dynasty personally led troops to rescue him, and I couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude.
At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty and promoted the country's prestige to the outside world. Among the surrounding small countries that were affiliated with the Yuan Dynasty, Champa was the first to recognize the Ming Dynasty and voluntarily submit to it.
This time Annan captured the city, and before Mahabharaya was defeated, he sought help from envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty many times, but all failed. He was probably intercepted and killed by the Annan people on the way.
Over the past year or so of being imprisoned, he had looked forward to countless times that one day he would be able to get out of here.
However, as time passed day by day, from the initial high expectations to the gradual loss of hope, I thought I was going to die, but I didn’t expect that the Ming army was coming!
God bless Zhancheng, Ming Dynasty has not forgotten this little brother thousands of miles away!
Zhu Qiyu ordered people to invite Mahabharaya to the main hall, but he did not tell the story of the war, but asked about various matters such as the customs and customs of Champa.
Mahabharaya was flattered, answered all questions, and
I swear that the Champa Kingdom will always surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to follow Ma's lead.
Just three days later, news of the destruction of Thang Long City came, and a few days later, Zhang Fu came to Thanh Hoa with Mahagui, Princess Xuanzhen and others.
When the two of them saw the old king, they were excited beyond words.
The three of them reunited after a long absence, and naturally they had a lot to talk about. Zhu Qiyu temporarily placed them in a separate courtyard, and then called Fan Jinglong, the Minister of War, and Pan Peng, the Minister of Rites.
Since the surrender, these two men have been very diligent, especially Fan Jinglong, who wakes up early every day and leads people to clean up the streets, and has already disposed of tens of thousands of dead bodies.
Pan Peng was not idle either. As Annan's Minister of Etiquette, in charge of etiquette, he had a place to come into play at this time.
What he has to do every day is to preach the benevolence and righteousness of the Ming Dynasty and the crimes of the Later Li Dynasty. In one sentence, Annan's transformation to Jiaozhi was an act of God's will.
"Your Majesty, Fan Jinglong, please pay homage to Your Highness!"
"Your Majesty, Pan Peng, come to see His Highness!"
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said: "Get up and talk!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Although the two stood up, they bowed and asked, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Zhu Qiyu said: "You two bring a team of troops to escort the king of Champa back to his country."
Fan Jinglong looked overjoyed and saluted: "Your Highness, don't worry, just leave this matter to your subordinates. I guarantee that the person will be sent back smoothly!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Pan Peng and said, "You were once in charge of Annan's Ministry of Rites. Now you go to Champa. Give this letter of credence to the current king of Champa and tell him that the Ming Dynasty has already done what it promised to Champa. Now it's time
Champa has fulfilled its promise."
Pan Peng slowly saluted and said: "I sincerely comply with His Highness's decree!"
Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and then said: "If someone asks you when you arrive in Champa, just say that you are an official of the Ming Dynasty. Do you understand?"
The two looked at each other and became excited at the same time.
Annan's surrendered general and Ming officials are two completely different identities.
If you arrive in Champa, people will hear that you are a surrendered general from Annan, and they will despise or even be hostile to you.
However, it is completely different to say that one is an official of the Ming Dynasty and was appointed by His Highness King Xi!
The other party must be well fed and served, and at least some more gold and silver.
It seems that the hard work during this period has been in vain, and it will be prosperous in the future!
The two of them walked out of the hall in high spirits.
A figure flashed behind the screen, and Zhang Fu walked over, frowning slightly, and asked: "Why did Your Highness send Annan people to escort you?"
Zhu Qiyu said thoughtfully: "It's not necessarily a good thing if the sky is the same on two days."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. I have brought enough soldiers and horses. I'm sorry that even the little king of Champa would not dare to make a mistake!"
Zhang Fu, however, looked disapproving and seemed not to take Champa seriously.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Our soldiers and horses should not act rashly for the time being. Let's see what the opponent's attitude is before we make plans."
