"The king is dead!"

"The king is dead!"

"Run!" As soon as the king of Annam died, the remnants of the more than 10,000 remnants of the Annam army who followed him were frightened, and they immediately dispersed in a hurry!

Because of the first battle in Hanoi, the soldiers of the Annam Army were originally afraid of the powerful firearms of the regular army of the Ming army, and basically looking at the muzzle of the black hole could make their legs weak, so how could such a group of people with fear still have the will to resist.

"Bayonet charge!"

The Ming soldiers abandoned their formation and took the opportunity to launch a bayonet charge to pursue and kill the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Annan Army who had dispersed.

Because the four city gates were blocked by the Ming army, more than 10,000 remnants of the Annan army were like turtles in an urn, and they were all captured in a short time.

With the killing of the king of Annan, more than 10,000 remnants of the Annan army were captured, and the kingdom of Annan was officially declared extinct and the territory was incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.

From the time the army entered Annam, it destroyed the country of Annam in less than a month, and the Ming army lost hundreds of people, killed the king of Annam, and captured 90,000 soldiers of the Annamite army!

The good news reached Nanjing.

Ordinary people don't feel much, they just dare that they still have no worries about food and clothing, and their lives are stable, and they don't care what the court is doing.

And many scholars shook their heads and sighed, lamenting that the court was unkind and destroyed the country indiscriminately, and some people even said in vain that the court was so happy and warlike that it became crazy. They didn't dare to blame the emperor, so they blamed a group of leading generals and called on the imperial court to reduce the number of soldiers and horses.

The Ming Dynasty has only been teaching for two years, and the so-called scholars are still former Confucian students, because of the relationship between Confucianism, one by one, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and oppose the Ming Dynasty's use of foreign troops.

Zhu Ci ignored these people's words.

As for the officials in the court, because of Li Yan's relationship, most of them worship Zhu Ci as a god, as long as Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou do not stand up and speak, basically no one will oppose Zhu Ci Cheng.

And because of the discussion of the attack on the Japanese state, Zhu Cijiao's words at that time gave the two of them a great shock, although they still opposed Zhu Cijiao's use of troops abroad, but Zhu Cijiao was extremely insistent, they knew that persuasion was useless, and they would basically avoid these problems.

Zhou Cao completely destroyed the Annan Kingdom in less than a month, which was expected by Zhu Cijiao.

Ninety thousand Annan army prisoners were soon escorted to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ciji did not send them to the Mongolian steppe, but let them build roads in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, with Nanjing, Beijing, Xi'an, Luoyang, Xuzhou and other more than a dozen important cities as the center, build straight roads, open mountains and pave roads, and open up the whole country.

In recent years, the scale of the cement plant has continued to expand, there are already 100,000 workers, and the technology of cement production has been improved several times, so that the output has increased significantly, and all the factories together have reached the daily output of 3,000 tons of cement.

The construction of the Mongolian steppe requires only 1,000 tons per day, which means that the cement plant already produces a large amount of cement.

For the remaining cement, except for a small part to be sold in the market and earn silver taels, most of Zhu Ciji is ready to be used to repair bridges and pave roads across the country.

The construction of the cities in the Mongolian steppes will be completed in a few months, and by then a million captives will be freed, a small number of whom will be sent to plant trees on the banks of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and most of them will be joined by Zhu Ci to build bridges and pave roads.

Not only to build a straight road to open the whole country, but also to develop a power locomotive in the near future, when the large steam engine is perfected, and the power locomotive is developed, Zhu Ciji will also start the large-scale construction of the railway, and the Ming Dynasty will move towards modernization, there are too many big projects to do, and these will be undertaken by an increasingly large number of prisoners of war from various countries.

After the full occupation of Annam, it is time to begin the matter of assimilating Annam.

Since the Qin Dynasty was directly governed by the Central Plains Dynasty, to the Song Dynasty, after more than 1,000 years, although the Song Dynasty was separated from the direct jurisdiction of the Central Dynasty, but it has always been a subject country of the Central Plains Dynasty, there are many Han people in the country, there are not a few people who are proficient in Chinese, and the assimilation is much simpler than Mongolia and Korea.

Annan can assimilate culturally with little need for immigrants.

Zhu Ci ordered to directly incorporate Annan into the Ming system, establish courts, police stations, national education schools, etc., abolish forced labor, limit land rental prices and other measures to benefit the people, and subdued the hearts of ordinary people in Annan in one fell swoop.

Although because of the rapid destruction of the country, the young and strong did not suffer much, and some landlords and scholars who did not know whether they were alive or dead instigated riots, but the ordinary people would not follow them, so after all, they could not set off any big waves, and even the regular army did not need to be dispatched, and the police and garrisons in various places could extinguish them.

The assimilation of Annan is steadily advancing.

"How's the delivery of the supplies needed to attack the Wa Kingdom?" It has been nearly a month since the destruction of Annan, and Zhu Ci's eyes are fixed on the Wa Kingdom again.

When Korea was destroyed at the beginning, the Japanese lost 150,000 elite soldiers in Korea, but the territory of the Japanese was larger than that of Korea, and the population was more than 7 million, and the loss of only 150,000 elite soldiers could not make them lose their vitality.

The strength of the Wa Kingdom was not weaker than that of Korea and Annam combined, and the materials needed to be prepared to destroy the Wa Kingdom were not small.

After nearly two months of operation, Zhu Ciji estimated that he should have almost finished preparations, so he called Li Yan to inquire.

"Back to the emperor, there will be three more days to prepare!" Li Yan replied.

Zhu Ci nodded, his eyes flashing sharply, and said, "It's time to start the battle to destroy the Wa Kingdom!" ”

In later generations, Zhu Cihe, who gave the Chinese nation the harm of the Japanese state, will not forget, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, take the Ming Dynasty as an example, from the time when the Ming Dynasty was first founded, the Ming Dynasty peeped into the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, but at that time the Ming Dynasty was when the national strength was strong, and attached importance to coastal defense, so the Ming Dynasty could not become a problem. However, jackals are jackals after all, and as long as they see Da Ming showing weakness, they will pounce on them and bite them fiercely.

Since the orthodox Yingzong, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has been weakening, and the coastal defense has been increasingly relaxed.

During the Jiajing period, the plague of the Japanese invaders reached its peak, a large area along the coast was troubled by them, the Japanese invaders could not capture the big cities, but the small towns and small county towns were the places where they were wreaking, the Japanese were perverted and ferocious, raped and plundered, and the things of slaughtering villages and destroying towns were not less, and the crimes were monstrous.

The Han people have never peeped into the Wa State from the beginning to the end, but the Wa State is a jackal raised by the Han people, as long as the Han people have signs of weakness, they will frantically pounce on and bite, how many disasters have been brought to the Han people, Zhu Ci can't stay no matter what.

"Attack the Japanese invaders, let the naval warships attack first, bombard them for a month before landing, and after landing, try to minimize their young and strong population, so that it will be easier to assimilate after the destruction of the country!" Zhu Ci said.

Li Yan's heart sank, and his face was immediately solemn: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
