While she was talking, there was a commotion outside, and Deng Meiniang ran in in a panic and said to everyone: "Oh no, the Ming army has entered the city, everyone run." ”

Deng Chengda hurriedly said to Deng Meiniang: "You go and pack your luggage, and your father will take you away quickly." ”

Deng Meiniang nodded, and then ran to the next room to pack her luggage. Deng Chengda hugged Zhu Yunwen and the others and said, "Master Kongwen, let's say goodbye." ”

Zhu Yunwen grabbed his hand and said, "Uncle Deng, don't worry, let's go together, we can have a companion on the road." ”

Deng Cheng said with great surprise: "Master Kongwen, aren't you monks of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army is coming, and we are only going to run in Annan, what are you running?" ”

Huang Zhan said on the side: "Uncle Deng, some things will not be clear for a while, let's go together, my junior brother still needs you to take care of it." ”

Deng Chengdao: "Master Kongzhi doesn't need me to take care of anything, as long as you change the medicine and take the medicine on time, you will recover slowly, and I will give you the prescription for your junior brother, he is weak now, it is best not to run around." ”

Wang Shu said: "Uncle Deng, let's go together." I have a lot of strength, I'll carry my brother. With that, he leaned down and carried Zhang Shixing on his back, Huang Zhan packed his luggage, and Zhu Yunwen, Deng's father and daughter left the inn and ran towards the dock.

The streets were full of people scurrying around, a group of Ming cavalry galloped in, and a common man of Annam could not dodge, was trampled off his horse, and immediately turned into pulp.

Zhu Yunwen and others came to the wharf, which was even more crowded and crowded, a group of Annan sergeants occupied a big boat, and the rest of the people wanted to climb on the boat, and those sergeants slashed with their knives, and when they boarded, they cut down a few people, and a few screams were added to the noise above the wharf.

At this time, another group of Ming cavalry rushed to the dock, holding a firearm to shoot at the Annan army on the ship, and the Annan army on the ship also raised a gun to fight back, the two sides came and went, the soldiers pong, sparks splashed, smoke filled, the fight was not lively, the people in the middle were killed by mistake, and the rest of the people were scurrying around like headless flies.

Zhang Shixing lay on Wang Shu's back, woke up by a bump, he raised his eyes to look at the surrounding situation, and said weakly to Wang Shu: "Quick, go up the mountain." ”

Wang Shu raised his head and looked around, only to see that there was a high mountain on the right side of the riverside, the forest was luxuriant, verdant and dripping, the mountain was steep, straight into the sea, it could really be said: "A river with clear water leads to green mountains, and the sparkling peaks and peaks are entwined." It's a good place to hide.

So he turned his head and ran towards the mountain with Zhang Shixing on his back, Zhu Yunwen, Huang Zhan, and Deng father and daughter also ran with him, and the crowd on the dock was hiding somewhere, and when they saw them running in the direction of the mountain, they all followed, and the panicked people ran aimlessly in the fields, there were thousands of people, like frightened sheep on the grassland.

More than a dozen Ming cavalry chased unhurriedly behind, like grazing, and when they saw who was left behind, they rushed up with a knife, and the crowd exclaimed, and they accelerated their pace and ran forward.

The Ming soldiers laughed in the back, really seeing this group of people as lambs to be slaughtered.

As the saying goes: "Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse." "The people ran for more than ten miles, and finally came to a tree at the foot of the mountain, and everyone could not run, and sat down on the ground.

Especially Wang Shu carried a person on his back, Rao is he has practiced martial arts with Zhang Shixing over the years, and his physical strength has improved greatly, but he has run so far without stopping, his physical strength is overdrawn, his feet are weak, and he fell to the ground, and even the tired Zhang Shixing also fell off his back, and fell into the mud.

Zhang Shixing forced himself to sit up, beckoning everyone to hurry up and hide in the woods, Zhu Yunwen and the others were sitting on the ground, panting, no one paid attention to him, even if there was a knife on their necks at this moment, it was estimated that they would not get up.

At this time, the dozen or so Ming cavalry slowly chased after them, pointed at the people sitting on the ground with the tip of their knives and sneered: "Run, why don't you run." Hurry up and keep running for Lao Tzu. ”

With that, they swung their knives and slashed down, the swords flashed, and the heads fell to the ground, but the crowd sitting on the ground did not stir, just waited in silence.

A Ming cavalry found Deng Meiniang sitting on the ground, although she was covered in sweat and her hair was scattered, it was still difficult to hide the beauty of her youth.

The cavalryman approached and laughed: "This little lady looks good, let's go with the military master, keep you eating and drinking spicy food, it's like sleeping in the wilderness." ”

Deng Meiniang spat at him, turned her head and leaned into Deng Chengda's arms.

The cavalryman was annoyed by her action, jumped off his horse, and came to pull Deng Meiniang's arm.

Zhang Shixing took a strong breath, stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to the soldier and said, "Stop." ”

When the soldier saw that he was standing unsteadily, looking sick, he shook his hand with a knife, and shouted: "Master Jun, I will send you to the West Heaven early, so that you will not suffer in the world." ”

Zhang Shixing dodged sideways, because he had been in the hospital bed for a long time and his body was weak, this hard dodge actually made him fall to the ground again.

When the soldier saw this, he couldn't help but laugh. Suddenly, his laughter froze, and he threw himself forward, falling to the ground.

It turned out that the moment Zhang Shixing fell to the ground, he took advantage of the situation to grab the wrist of the sergeant holding the knife, and with a twist of the situation, he inserted the steel knife into his abdomen.

Seeing this, the rest of the Ming army came over one after another to check the situation, only to see their companions fall to the ground, with the tip of a knife exposed behind their backs, so they all raised their knives and shouted: "These Nanban are really hateful, they dare to resist, come, do it together, and kill them." ”

Liu Sheng, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Zhong, the commander of the hussars, Zhu Rong, and others led the boat division to Qiluo Haikou, and had a big battle with the Dayu naval army, defeating the enemy, capturing 300 warships, and the rest of the warships fled in all directions. The Lai father and son fled to Cat Ba Island and lurked in the grass.

At dawn the next day, the Ming army went to the island to search, and Liu Shengsuo led the sergeant Wang Chaihu and other seven people to capture the emperor Li Jiyak, and Huang Zhong's sergeant Li Baobao and other ten people captured the protector king Li Cheng. A few days later, Wu Ruqing, a local native, and five other people captured Li Hancang, the emperor of Dayu State, and his son Li Rui to sacrifice.

So far, the rebellion of the Annam Li Dynasty has been completely put down.

Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng led the army to return to the court, offered the prisoners, dew the cloth to hear, and presented the Annan atlas, Zhu Di looked at the map, only to see that the place in Annan is 1,760 miles wide from east to west, 2,800 miles long from north to south, 3.12 million people in the Central Plains, and 287,500 strange barbarians. Looking at the list of booty, 235,900 elephants, horses, and cattle, 13,600,000 stone of millet, more than 8,670 ships, and more than 2,539,800 weapons were captured.

Zhu Di was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded him, Zhang Fujin was awarded the title of Duke of England, Mu Sheng was awarded the Duke of Qianguo, King Youjin of Qingyuan Bo was awarded the title of Marquis, and Governor Liu was promoted to Uncle Anyuan. Zhu Di specially gave Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng two coupons, jade belts, and gold silks, and ordered their descendants to be hereditary, and 3,000 stones of Jialu rice.

Zhu Di also feasted the ministers in the Fengtian Palace, and personally produced the "Song of the South of Peace" to praise the achievements of the generals.

When the wine was hot, Zhu Di asked Zhang Fudao: "British Duke, how to deal with Annan in the future, and what kind of opinions does the secretary have, you might as well come and listen to it." ”

When Zhang Fu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Li thief killed Chen Rikun the year before last and usurped his country. After that, he killed more than 50 people from his close tribe and more than 1,000 people from his distant tribe, and the Chen family's bloodline was extinct, and there was no successor. In the humble opinion of Weichen, when the story of the Han and Tang dynasties, the system of counties and counties such as the mainland was established here, so as to show that I was the grace of the Ming Dynasty and subdued the four seas. ”

Zhu Di turned his head to his seven ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Huang Huai, Yang Qi and others kowtowed and praised: "Your Majesty, Annan has been trapped in Yidi since the fifth generation, and it has been 446 years since then. ”

The civil and military ministers and princes all knelt down together and kowtowed in congratulations.

In the midst of praise, Zhu Di saw that he was silent and sullen. He knew that he had been snubbed during this time, so he couldn't bear it, so he beckoned to Xie Jin, ordered him to step forward, gave him a glass of wine and said: "Everyone is happy, but Qing is not happy, why not?" ”

Xie Jin knelt down, drank all the wine, strengthened his courage, and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to speak up, and the matter of Annan in the county should be considered in the long run." ”

Zhu Di sighed, the smile on his face slowly solidified, and said to Xie Jin in a slightly sarcastic tone: "I have always heard that Scholar Xie is the first genius of my Ming Dynasty, if you have any high opinions, please tell me, I and the secretaries will listen." ”

Xie Jin stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, it has been more than 400 years since the independence of Annan, and its people do not know China, but they know its king. Therefore, Emperor Taizu Gao has made it clear that the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to make orders, and Annan is listed as a country that is not to be levied. Therefore, Weichen thought that he should visit the descendants of the Chen family, choose his sage to stand, and promote my great kindness. ”

Zhu Di was dissatisfied: "I originally wanted to establish the Chen family, but its bloodline is extinct, how can I establish it?" ”

Xie Jin argued: "The Chen family has been established for more than a hundred years, and there are thousands of descendants, how can they be extinct at one time? Ask carefully, and you will be informed. ”

When Zhang Fu heard this, his face changed and said: "The ministers have tried their best to beg, and they all say that the descendants of the Chen family are extinct, and thousands of old elders from Annan rushed to Yingmen to ask for the county Annan, which is the blood letter they submitted." With that, Zhang Fu's guards presented a huge blood book to the palace.

After Zhu Di saw it, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since this is the case, I might as well be respectful and obey my fate." ”

So the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to the world, changed Annan to Jiao Lu Cheng announced the political envoy department, the former Ministry of Industry Lang Zhang Xianzong, Fujian political secretary left Wang Ping as the left and right political envoys, and set up Jiaozhi to command the envoy, with Huang Zhong in charge of the capital, with Li Qi as the envoy, and ordered Shangshu Huang Fu to be in charge of the cloth, according to the second secretary. It has 15 prefectures, including Jiaozhou, Bac Giang, Langjiang, Sanjiang, Jianping, Xin'an, Jianchang, Fenghua, Thanh Hoa, Zhenman, Lang Son, Tan Binh, Yanzhou, Nghe An and Hue, with jurisdiction over 36 prefectures and 181 counties. It also has five prefectures: Taiyuan, Xuanhua, Jiaxing, Guihua and Guangwei, which are directly subordinate to the Political Department and have jurisdiction over 29 counties. All other vital points are controlled by the guards.

The Yongle Emperor also had a division, and the kings of the Chen family were all given gifts, built ancestral shrines, and placed 20 households for sprinkling and sweeping. The victims of the clan are given official gifts, and those who are exposed to the death of soldiers and civilians are properly buried. Those who live in the government are still the same as before, and they participate in the governance of the new officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The tyranny of the Li clan was abolished, and all those who were punished were spared, and the elderly and virtuous were treated with courtesy. Widows, widows, lonely and untold people are taken in by almshouses.

Those who are talented and virtuous are all sent to Beijing to appoint those who are good. The imperial court also issued an edict to visit the mountains and forests, the Ming scriptures and erudition, the virtuous and square, the filial brother Litian, the intelligent and upright, the incorruptible and capable, the practice of officials, proficient in calligraphy and arithmetic, the Ming study of the art of war and the appearance of the shore, the convenience of the edict, the courage of the strength, the number of yin and yang techniques, and the medicine and prescriptions.

So Zhang Fu and others successively raised more than 9,000 people to Beijing.

Li Ji Yak, Li Hancang's father and son were beheaded for public display, and his brother Li Cheng, the protector of the country, and Li Rui, the son of Li Hancang, were pardoned, and ordered Yousi to pay for food and clothing.

Xie Jin angered Zhu Di and was assigned to Cochin Hue to supervise the salary.
