Chapter 1148: How to Choose
Since yesterday to learn the news of Wang Tong's defeat and Liu Sheng's death, Zhu Zhanji has discussed with Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Xia Yuanji, Zhang Fu and others on the Annan campaign, Yang Shiqi has always advocated the policy of "canonizing Annan", Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, and Zhang Fu, the British public, desperately opposed, and Zhang Fu personally invited Ying, invited 100,000 soldiers and horses, and vowed to pacify Li Li within a year.
However, in the past 20 years, Annan's tug-of-war of "surrendering and rebelling" has tired the monarchs and ministers of Ming Xuanzong, and the words of Yang Rong, a scholar, are even more to the point: "The security of the country is related to the north, not the south," which finally made Ming Xuanzong make up his mind to abandon Annan. But after all, this is a major event, since the second year of Yongle, the use of troops against Annam, before and after 20 years, the elimination of the Hu Dynasty in Vietnam, renamed Vietnam "Jiaozhi" (also known as "Jiaoluan" and "Jiaozhi", at that time the border is equivalent to the central and northern part of today), sweeping away the power of the Later Chen Dynasty that intended to restore the rule of the Chen Dynasty, the establishment of the direct jurisdiction of the prefecture, the prefecture, and the county, and the adoption of the policy of changing customs and implementing Confucianism and education, it took 20 years of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to make Annam merge into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. This is why today's early dynasty is born.
"The Annan issue must be decided as soon as possible, and if it drags on like this, it will be very unfavorable to the people of Daming!" Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong exchanged glances with each other, and Yang Rong nodded without moving.
Yang Shiqi's face was relieved, last night on the matter of Annan, in addition to discussing with the emperor, the cabinet ministers also discussed, everyone unanimously agreed to withdraw the imperial court, this result made Yang Shiqi feel a little more at ease, at this time looking at Yang Rong's appearance, he also nodded, and then said loudly: "The news of Wang Tong's defeat and Liu Sheng's death, I guess all of you have heard about it, right?" ”
This matter has spread all over the capital since yesterday evening, except for a few old pedants, there is really no one who does not know about this matter, which also shows that the civil and military officials attach more and more importance to Annan, and pay more and more attention to the emperor's next arrangements.
It was precisely because of the importance that no one was in a hurry to speak, and the huge temple was quiet.
Regarding the thoughts of Zhu Zhanji and others, Yang Zheng, a person who has two lifetimes of experience, is the most clear, but at this time, he didn't understand the situation clearly, and it was not easy to talk nonsense, so he squinted at a few generals who were eager to try, and it seemed that for Annan, they wanted iron and blood to complete it.
Zhu Zhanji didn't expect that after the matter was announced, the ministers quieted down and were slightly surprised, but after all, this matter is a big matter, and if it is not resolved earlier, it is indeed a hidden danger, so after a little silence, he asked again: "What are your opinions on the matter of Annan?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out how to deal with this matter for a while, so no one dared to speak rashly, even those impatient generals were silent at this moment.
After about a cup of tea, the crowd began to have some commotion, a person walked out of the generals, respectfully said: "Your Majesty, according to the humble opinion of Weichen, Annan from the beginning of the Yongle year of the Dynasty, "the period of the crime (referring to the Hu Dynasty) to hang the people, will rise and fall and continue to extinction", three times to send troops to Annan, before Annan was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, since Yongle, to the "long-dyed customs" of the Annan people, "set up officials and rules, teach Chinese etiquette", in order to achieve "the benevolence of the wide application, the rule of Yongle Taiping". To this end, the Yongle Emperor set up official offices in Annan, such as "Jiaozhi Command Envoy Division", "Jiaozhi and Other Places Undertaking and Announcing Political Envoys", and "Jiaozhi and Other Places Punishment and Prosecution Envoys", which were directly under their jurisdiction.
Before and after 20 years, Annam has long been the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and now the anti-thief Li Li took advantage of the weakness of my Ming main force concentrated in Yi'an City, and other places with weak defenses, to capture Tan Binh, Hue and other places, and it seems that it is not good for my Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is not, as long as I am the same heart of the Ming monarch and ministers, I still have room to recapture Annam! Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhu Zhanji, and saw that the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair and listened very seriously, so he continued: "According to Weichen's view, His Majesty can start from two steps, on the one hand, Li Li is cunning and changeable, quite a means, Wang Tong and Liu Sheng are more than capable, and their courage is insufficient, so they need to re-dispatch the generals to sweep away the gang of criminals and quell the war....... “
Everyone waited for a while, and finally waited for a person who spoke, and suddenly came to their senses, and they all turned their heads to look, and saw that it was Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, who had just won the victory.
Since the crisis in the capital, Zhu Zhanji, who had returned to the capital, was greatly surprised, and immediately asked the generals who had returned to the capital to return to the frontier to defend them, and ordered the Zhenshuo general Xue Lu to defeat the Tatars at Kaiping (now Duolun, Inner Mongolia). At that time, Xue Lu inspected the border and returned and was stationed in Xuanfu (now Xuanhua, Hebei). The Tatars invaded Kaiping, returned with nothing, and were more than 300 miles away from the city. Xue Lu led the elite soldiers to march day and night, and arrived at Duo'er Ban You'er Wu in three nights, smashed the Tatar camp with light cavalry, defeated the Tatars, killed dozens of people, captured 12 people including Zhenfu and Baihu, captured 64 men and women, captured more than 800 horses, and more than 4,000 cattle and sheep. The division was returned, the Tatars followed it, and Xue Lu led the army to fight. The Tatars have since fled far away, and this move can be described as avenging the crisis in the capital.
At this time, everyone saw that he had some truth and echoed him.
Zhu Zhanji frowned and thought for a while: "Xue Aiqing's words are the words of the old minister to seek the country, I have written it down?" “
"What do other Aiqing think?" After a pause, Zhu Zhanji glanced at the crowd and asked.
As soon as the voice fell, another person came out on the right side, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I have occupied Jiaozhi in Yongle in the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, and I have used hundreds of thousands of soldiers before and after, and the salary has reached more than one million, and the cost of transfer is not included." Countless manpower, financial resources, and material resources have been invested, and if you don't capture Annan, you will be ashamed of the dead soldiers, and you will be ashamed of your grandfather who opened up the territory and expanded the territory! So Weichen agrees with Lord Xue's opinion? ”
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, Xia Yuanji was an old minister of the Four Dynasties, and he was the right attendant of the household department when he was Emperor Wen, and he was later an interview envoy. When he was in charge of internal affairs, the people were satisfied. After the Battle of Jingyan, Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, and entrusted Xia Yuanji with a heavy responsibility, and Jianyi was known in the world. After becoming an ancestor, he successively assisted Zuoren and Xuan Erzong, with outstanding political achievements and convincing officials.
Listening to his words at this time, many people started to talk about it, and they were very angry for a while, but Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu were silent, and their expressions were a little dignified.
Zhu Zhanji's face was also a little ugly, he glanced left and right, and suddenly asked, "Lord Yang, what do you think?" “
The civil officials have always been headed by Yang Shiqi, and when they heard the emperor say this, they all fell on his face, as if they wanted to see what his opinion was?
Yang Shiqi seemed to have been prepared, but he was not in a hurry, he pondered for a while, and said: "My Ming interfered in Annan, originally at the request of Annan Chen, sent troops to punish him, which can be described as a righteous move, so after Cheng Guogong and the British sent troops to Annan, it is not a problem to get the support of the people of Annan and seize Annan?" “
This period of the past, no matter how young and old in the palace know, back then, the Chen Dynasty's minister Hu Jichen usurped the throne, established the Hu Dynasty, and changed the name of the country to "Dayu". Soon after, he proclaimed himself Emperor Taishang, and his son Hu Hancang became the emperor. Because the Chen family of the previous dynasty was originally a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and the world was canonized by the Ming Dynasty, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Ming Dynasty, the Hu family, who usurped the country, sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty in April of the first year of Yongle, and claimed to the Ming Chengzu who had just raised troops to seize the throne that the Chen family "inherited the heirs, and the branch was destroyed, and there was nothing to inherit." Chen, the nephew of the Chen family, is pushed by the public", wanting to claim that he is orthodox and asking the Ming Dynasty to canonize him.
After Ming Chengzu sent Yang Bo to Vietnam to observe, the local courtiers and elders followed him to Chengzu and said that "everyone sincerely pushes the ministers to manage state affairs", and the Ming court no longer has any reason to doubt for a while, so he named Hu Hancang as the "King of Annam".
At this time, there was a change in the second year of Yongle, and Pei Boqi, a relict of the Chen Dynasty, went to the Ming court and accused Hu Jichen and his son of "killing the lord and usurping the throne and slaughtering loyal ministers", and asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to "capture the thief, eliminate the traitor, and restore the descendants of the Chen family"; On the day of Ding You, August, a person named Chen Tianping, who claimed to be a descendant of the Chen family, claimed that his identity was originally "Nguyen Kang, a slave of Chen Yuanhui", who entered the Ming Dynasty from Laos, and also told Zhu Di about the usurpation of the Hu family, and demanded that the throne of the Chen family be restored.
Later, Ming Chengzu arranged for Chen Tianping to meet with them in front of the envoys of the Hu Dynasty, so that all the envoys were stunned and bowed, and even wept. The Ming court then interfered in the political situation in Vietnam and sent personnel to check and verify the situation, but Hu Chao understood that he had no choice but to admit responsibility and demand that "the balance be returned".
Although the Hu dynasty was willing to settle the matter, relations between the two countries remained tense. Subsequently, the envoys sent by the Hu Dynasty to the Ming court were all detained and not allowed to return to China. The Ming court also sent personnel into Vietnam to investigate the dangerous places of mountains and rivers, as a preparation for the southern expedition in the future.
Finally, Hu's disgusting caused Zhu Di's anger, and in the fourth year of Yongle, he sent Huang Zhong, the governor of Guangxi, to lead 5,000 soldiers to escort Chen Tianping, the "former king grandson" of the Chen Dynasty, back to Vietnam. After Chen Tianping was interrogated by the Hu Dynasty, he was "sentenced to the crime of Ling Chi". Ming Chengzu was furious when he learned about it, so he "decided to rejuvenate the teacher".
Zhu Neng and Zhang Fu were successively dispatched to Annam, and Zhang Fu first used a scheming to list the crimes of the Li clan and spread them among the people of Annam, so he won the hearts of the people. And Zhu Di also took this opportunity to merge Annan into the territory of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop?
Everyone listened to Yang Shiqi talk about this time at this time, and they didn't know why, they all looked at him, and no one spoke.
