Chapter 328: Heavy Responsibility

After reading this secret letter at dusk, I finally understood why Zhu Gaochi had the mind of gloating.

I feel that I want to go to the place where the bird of Annan does not.

And there is also the risk of extinction.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is indeed a chore, if Hu Hancang has ill intentions, maybe the mission to Annam will be the same as the previous mission to Tatar, there is no return.

If you don't do it, you have to learn how to shepherd sheep in Annan.

According to historical data, the current king of Annan is Hu Hancang, and the real person in power is Hu Yiyuan, who is Hu Hancang's son.

Hu Yiyuan's real name is Li Jichen (li\mao are two sounds), also known as Hu Jichen, and later usurped the country and changed his name to Hu Yiyuan.

About this person, people who know the historical materials of the early Ming Dynasty will not be unfamiliar.

Dusk is also known.

According to the record of the "Complete Book of Historical Records of Dayue", Hu Jichen's ancestor is named Hu Xingyi, a native of Zhejiang, China, who came to Annam in the Han Dynasty after five generations, Hu Xingyi's twelfth grandson Hu Lian moved to Dayi Township in Thanh Hoa, and became the son of Xuanwei Li Xunyi, and changed his surname to Li, Hu Jichen is the fourth grandson of Hu Lian, that is, the sixteenth grandson of Hu Xingyi.

Hu Jichen is a relative, and his two aunts are Empress Mingci and Empress Xuanci, both of whom are married to Chen Mingzong of Annan.

In 1400 (the first year of Hu Shengyuan), Hu Jichen simply killed the Chen royal family in Annan, and under his arrangement, the ministers jointly suggested that Hu Jichen be the emperor.

Hu Jichen initially pretended to resign, but later accepted the advice of the ministers, abolished Chen Shaodi and changed the Yuan Shengyuan, Hu Jichen restored the ancestral surname Hu, claiming to be a descendant of Yu Shun and Hu Gongman, and the name of the country was Dayu.

Although Hu Jichen usurped the throne, he was unanimously opposed by the remnants of the Chen Dynasty, and under strong pressure, Hu Jichen had to pass on the throne to Hu Hancang (born to Princess Huining of the Chen Dynasty's clan) at the end of the same year, and he himself held real power as the emperor.

In 1403 (the third year of Hu Shaocheng, the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty), after the Jingnan Revolution of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Hancang presented himself to the Ming Dynasty, claiming that the royal family of the Chen Dynasty was extinct, and his nephew was promoted as the emperor by the ministers and asked for canonization.

After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di asked Yang Bo to go to Annan to investigate, he canonized Hu Hancang as the king of Annan.

In 1407 (the fourth year of Hu Kaida, the fifth year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty), the Ming Dynasty annexed Annan and destroyed the Hu Dynasty.

This is also in Annam.

If Hu Jichen is placed in the Central Plains Dynasty, it is probably equivalent to the role of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao.

It's a pity that he met Zhu Di.

Although there is an ancestral motto "never conquer Annan", Hu Jichen is too deadly, and it is just a matter of fighting and occupying the city to grab some money and grain, and even the territory of the Ming Dynasty dares to encroach upon.

Can Zhu Di, who is ambitious to surpass his father, endure it?

So in the end he was killed.

But that's still two or three years away.

After pondering it at dusk, according to the historical trajectory, there will be no problem in sending Annan this time, but according to historical data, Pei Bo, the courtier of the Chen Dynasty of Annan, should be about to reach the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Tianping, the last bloodline of the Chen Dynasty, will also flee to the Ming Dynasty after he travels to the Lancang Kingdom.

The matter of the mission has to be delayed for a while.

After these two people get to Daming to accuse Hu Jichen and his son of the crime, they will see how Zhu Di will fall.

Closing the secret letter, he said to Zhu Gaochi: "This matter is not urgent, Your Highness, you reply a letter to Your Majesty, saying that I have been ill recently and cannot be an envoy, please Your Majesty give Weichen some time to recuperate." ”

Zhu Gao was dumbfounded, "Are you bullying the king in front of me?" ”

You don't have the slightest sign of being sick.

Dusk's face was solemn, "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as His Highness thought-" It stopped abruptly, and suddenly found that there was no need to delay this matter, and he only had to send Annan to it.

Because he knew Zhu Di's reaction after Pei Bo and Chen Tianping arrived in the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhu Di's reaction, the operation on Annan's side is to go, so that he may be able to return to Daming before the Spring Festival, if it is delayed, the Spring Festival will have to be spent in Annan.

So he shook his head and said, "Weichen is ready to send all the envoys." ”

The second monk Zhu Gaochi was puzzled, what do you want to do.

Dusk didn't explain, and said: "Although Your Majesty has changed the selection of the mission, the main envoy has become Xu Huizu, and the deputy envoys are Huang Guan and Gao Xianning, but I still have to see the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry. ”

Zhu Gao shook his head, "Good." ”

So Zhu Gaochi summoned all the envoys from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War to the Qianqing Palace, and looked at the talents gathered together, Zhu Gaochi said a few words briefly, explained his father's will to change the candidates for the mission, and then let Dusk speak.

Dusk coughed, "You probably don't understand, why the envoy suddenly changed, especially Xie Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites, you should have been a regular envoy, but now you have become an ordinary envoy, you will probably feel uncomfortable, but this matter is indeed more troublesome, the situation in Annan is far more complicated than you think, maybe you don't know that Hu Jichen, who is now in power in Annan, is actually usurping the country, so this time going to Annan, it is very dangerous, and if we are not careful, we may not be able to return to our homeland, but——"

Things tend to have a but.

Dusk took a deep breath, "Daming has just gone through the war, no matter what the situation on Annan's side is, we must clearly distinguish the priority of this envoy to Annan, about Annan's internal affairs, as well as Annan's invasion of Zhancheng, Guangxi and other places, is not our main goal, our goal is to get a craft from Annan, so this envoy, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry account for more than half, you probably don't know what the importance of the craft we want to get, let me say a little, as long as we get this craft, and then through my improvement." In the future, Your Majesty will personally conquer Mobei, and the grassland cavalry will no longer be a threat to my Daming Xiongshi! ”

Speaking of this, he smiled, "So in order to get this craft, this mission, no matter how big the price is!" ”

The faces of the people changed greatly, and there were many discussions.

Twilight has no excuse.

Looking at the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, "Your Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War will carry Your Majesty's grand plan for a thousand years, and will also carry the eternal glory of the Ming Dynasty, this time to envoy Annan, even if you are exhausted, you must find a way to completely control the craft, as for how to make Hu Hancang and Hu Jichen hand over this craft, that is the matter between me and Xu Huizu, Huang Guan, and Gao Xianning." ”

A military supervisor named Hong Jilai of the Ministry of Industry said: "Dare to ask Commander Huang, what kind of craft is it, it is worth such a lot of effort, even our Ming territory can be sent out, and even the grassland cavalry can be broken?" ”

Dusk smiled: "There are some things that I can't say now, you are the head of the Ministry of Industry, you are good at weapons, you can think about it yourself, anyway, I have one meaning, this matter is done, you are waiting to be promoted and make a fortune." ”

It's still going to be practical.

However......

There was no boiling of the crowds imagined by Dusk, but they were all worried, after all, Dusk said that even the Ming Territory could be sent to Annan, and it was really unbearable for these people to kick it.

Who wants to bear the infamy and go under the Nine Springs?

Dusk didn't care either.

He didn't worry about leaving a stench for 10,000 years at all, even if he sent a Guangxi to Annan, would it be able to eat it?

Wait for Daming to recuperate for a year or two, and he won't even recognize his mother by minutes.

I'll spit out if I eat mine.

And that's not all.

Annan, you have to become the administrative province of my Ming Dynasty, so that that sentence has become well-documented since ancient times.
