Ordinary wars are not fought in winter. Because the weather is cold, it is not suitable for war. However, the war against southern Xinjiang was excepted. Because the miasma is rampant in southern Xinjiang, it is too hot, and summer is not suitable for war. Winter, not cold at all, but like spring in the north, it is too suitable. So, this war began.

Of course, the emperor was clever enough to find a good reason. This reason was made by someone Chen Wenhui who was familiar with the emperor.

In recent years, southern Xinjiang has developed rapidly, because it has bid farewell to the history of self-containment and began to contact with the outside world, especially those captives, after the Qin people were sent to Nanyang, after these eight or nine years of development, many people have redeemed their identities and become good citizens, and many people have accumulated more or less some wealth.

After having money, these simple people did not want to squander, they were still frugal and almost harsh, and the money they saved first bought some land in Nanyang, and then built a small house, and then saved up the money to go home and buy those relatives and friends from southern Xinjiang.

After all this was saved, they did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly set off, following the caravan, taking a big ship, crossing the sea, returning to southern Xinjiang, returning to their hometown after a long absence.

After returning home, they first went to the chief, to the slave owner, to the nobles, to redeem their relatives, bring their relatives and friends, help the old and the weak, and then return to Nanyang on a big ship. In the process, there are naturally people who are curious about their experiences, about them becoming free people, about the wealth they can accumulate in just a few years.

These people will naturally publicize all kinds of peculiarities of the South Seas. In this way, more people know that Nanyang is a treasure land, a paradise-like land of bliss.

This statement spread more and more widely, and the whole of southern Xinjiang, from the nobles to the slaves, knew about it. They are all full of curiosity about Nanyang. More and more people are starting to go to Nanyang. At first, the nobles forced them to go to Nanyang, and now they want to go to Nanyang at their own expense.

With the passage of time, a huge wave of migration has formed throughout southern Xinjiang. In this wave of immigration, there were slaves. There were prisoners of war. There were Qin people with low status, and even later, there were ordinary people of the six ethnic groups who also went to Nanyang. Later, there were even those of the nobles of the six clans who went bankrupt. Losing power. Unexpected. or the concubines, they also took some property to Nanyang to start a foundation.

The beginning of this situation made the queen and the patriarchs of the various clans happy. Because as more people go to Nanyang, they make more money.

But. In the last two years, the flow of immigrants has become more and more large, which has made them also start to be afraid, although at this time, the number of people who have gone out is less than 1% of the total population, but it has made them vigilant.

The queen and the patriarchs of the various clans also wanted to stop the immigration, but it was too late. Compared with Nanyang, the backwardness, poverty, and exploitation of southern Xinjiang are too serious, and the government's efforts to stop it have intensified this wave of immigration.

In addition to this situation, there is another thing that also threatens the queen's rule.

That was the caravan that came to southern Xinjiang to trade. At the beginning, when the caravan came, whether it was the caravan of Dachu, the caravan of Yizhou Island, or the caravan of Nanyang, Nanjiang was very welcome. Because these caravans brought wealth, brought many good goods, made these nobles rich, and also allowed these nobles to buy goods that they were satisfied with. lived a life of luxury and enjoyment.

However, as the number of merchants increased, so did the amount of money they made. The merchants who made money, the people of Nanyang and Yizhou Island, were better, and most of them lived in leased land on the edge of the harbor. However, Da Chu did not lease the land, so they lived in the city of Guangzhou.

These wealthy merchants, because of the more trade, even bought a family business here, especially because they have a lot of wealth, and they have Da Chu as a backer, so they are even more unscrupulous, and often clash with the nobles of southern Xinjiang.

This time, another Great Chu merchant clashed with a nobleman in southern Xinjiang. Because he drank too much wine and had red eyes, this big Chu merchant accidentally beat this nobleman to death.

This nobleman is not an ordinary nobleman, he is a relative of the Queen, and he is also the Queen's peer by generation, a nobleman of the Teng clan, and an uncle of Princess Ram.

In the past few years, Princess Ram has married Lan Ying, and she has given birth to three children. Princess Ram, who has a child, has not become less angry, but has become more delicate than before. Especially as the queen gets older, many government affairs begin to hand over to Ram and his wife, and Ram's power is getting bigger and bigger, and his anger is getting bigger and bigger.

After this happened, the queen did not know that the following people had already reported to Princess Ram.

Princess Ram was so angry that without even thinking about it, she sent someone to arrest the merchant, behead him, and hang his head at the gate of the city for public display.

By the time the queen knew the news, everyone in southern Xinjiang would know.

Of course, Da Chu also knew the news. The dead businessman also has a certain reputation in Dachu, he is not an ordinary person, he also has an identity, he is an imperial merchant. Because there are many specialties in southern Xinjiang that are also needed in the palace, such as precious medicinal materials. Therefore, this imperial merchant often went to southern Xinjiang to purchase goods for the palace.

The death of an imperial merchant was originally a trivial matter. However, in Liu Yan's opinion, it is too wonderful. He immediately asked people to concoct a sentimental requisition, tearfully talking about the loyalty of this imperial businessman, his contribution to Dachu, how unjustly he died, and how miserable he was. Then he listed the ten major crimes of the queen of southern Xinjiang, and finally, issued a conquest order and waged war against southern Xinjiang.

The war was fast. Da Chu has been preparing for many years, weapons, grain and grass, soldiers and horses have long been assembled, the battle plan has long been prepared, and the families have already prepared soldiers and horses.

Southern Xinjiang was very passive, they had long guessed that Da Chu would do something to them, but they didn't expect that Da Chu would come so quickly.

Whether it was active to fight passive, or unprepared passive, southern Xinjiang fell into disadvantage from the beginning. The whole of southern Xinjiang began to complain about Princess Ram who provoked the incident, and some nobles even wanted to remove Princess Ram from her official position and step down from the position of prince.

The queen has to deal not only with the war, but also with chaotic internal affairs.

At this moment, the situation changed dramatically. The army of Da Chu is progressing too fast, they are like divine help, all the way is like a bamboo, where are all the weaknesses of the defense, they know very well. What's even more unbearable is that along the way, many tribes and leaders actually surrendered, and even before the army of Da Chu came, they surrendered.

Of course, the tribes that surrendered were preserved, not only did they survive, but Da Chu also gave them enough food, a large amount of cloth, and a lot of silver, giving them a lot of benefits. Those who did not surrender were wiped out by Da Chu without exception. Of course, there is another peculiar part of this war, that is, the Great Chu seems to cherish human life, not only did they not kill the prisoners, but they also trained to transport these prisoners to the city of Shanghai through a strong logistical force, and from there they left by boat.

However, the news that these captives had left was unknown to the people of southern Xinjiang. All they know is that all the tribes that did not surrender are missing.

What it means to be missing in a war is naturally self-evident.

Therefore, the hearts of the people in the entire southern Xinjiang were panicked.

The queen was tired of dealing all day long, and it was not until this time that she found out that in the past few years, the prince of Mu Li and the county lord of Wen'an, who had been making trouble for her, were gone.

Not only are they gone, but even their cronies are gone, and some of the young men of the Bai tribe who are good friends with them are also gone.

The families of these people are also gone, and the entire Bai tribe is missing a third.

This made matters worse for the imperial court in southern Xinjiang.

At this time, the queen understood why so many people rebelled, why Da Chu knew the weakness of the defense, and why the war was not going so well. Because Da Chu has been planning for a long time, Mu Li Gongzi and his wife are the traitors they sent.

Although he knew, it was useless, because Mu Li Gongzi had already taken his people to Nanyang, to the country of Annan, and with the help of the Nanyang army, he had already captured a city and began to build a new territory based on this city.

The war in southern Xinjiang is in full swing, and the war in Annam has ended. This new city, the son of Mu Li has named it the White City. The city of the Bai Clan.

The entire city also invited the master of the Hei family to design, and the wealth of Mu Li Gongzi had already been transported here, including the dowry of all the Wen'an County Lord Langxue, as well as the wealth they had earned in the past few years, in addition to these, there was also the accumulation of the Bai clan over the years. With such a huge amount of money and material support, there is also a professional black design team, a professional construction team of Nanyang Qingchun City, of course, not a construction team, it is a lot, and there have been more and more construction teams in Nanyang in recent years.

Their level of professionalism is really fast and good. They have done it many times to build a city, and they are all familiar with it.

The entire White City is under construction.

At the same time, the defeated lord of Annam was also frightened and did not dare to attack.

Under such circumstances, the Nanyang Army could already retreat, because the remaining Annan troops could no longer threaten the Bai army, which also had a strong military base.

In the city lord's mansion, which has not yet been built, Mu Li Gongzi and his wife are thanking the leader of the Nanyang Army, Lao Zhongyigong, and practicing for him. (To be continued.) )
