The people sent by Qi Cheng to Hanzhong finally returned.

Despite all the hardships, the henchman arrived in Hanzhong and brought back the news.

According to the news he brought back, Shang Kexi initially agreed to cooperate with the Qi family, but the Qi family must first show some sincerity.

Qi Cheng certainly understood what this sincerity meant, and it was nothing more than to transport a batch of grain to Hanzhong first. Shang Kexi is now poor and hungry, even a few thousand stones of grain can make him happy for a while.

In Qi Cheng's opinion, of course, there is no problem with this.

Since it should be the Governor of Wen'an's mind to contact the Tartars, he just needs to do as he is told, and there is nothing to worry about.

Anyway, when the sky falls, there is a high top, and it can't hit him.

But his son Qi Ye was worried.

"Father, is there really no problem with this? Will that Governor Wen use his father as a gunman? ”

Qi Cheng frowned when he heard this.

His own son was too cowering.

The so-called county order of breaking the family, the order of destroying the door.

As the governor of a province, Wen Anzhi wanted to destroy the Qi family just by moving his fingers, so why use such a method.

This is obviously overconsideration.

"You don't have to think much about these things, it's up to your father to decide."

Qi Cheng flicked his sleeves and ordered: "In the past few days, you go to buy grain intensively, and buy all the grain you can buy." For the father, he is going to make a big deal with the Tartars. ”

Since we want to cooperate, we naturally have to show our strength.

Only when you show enough strength will the Tartars trust you.

Qi Cheng didn't want to buckle the rope to arouse Shang Kexi's suspicion.

This man is an extremely cunning old fox, and it would be detrimental to the whole plan if he were to see the flaws.

"Yes, the son obeys his father."

Qi Ye clenched his fists with both hands.

"Let's go down."

Qi Cheng waved his hand and said a little tiredly.

......

......

Zhennan Pass.

When Zhu Youlang saw these three words again, his heart could be described as mixed.

When he fled into Annam with his troops from here, he was full of joy, and he never thought that the Annamite people would betray him, kidnap him, and escort him back.

It can only be said that he is too gullible to be credulous.

The long journey from Thang Long City to Zhennan Pass was undoubtedly an ordeal for Zhu Youlang.

Although he was not put into a prison car with his hands tied, his mood was no different from that of being in prison.

As he got closer and closer to Zhennanguan, his mood became more and more depressed.

Of course, he knew that rebellion was intolerable to any king, and he also knew what awaited him after being escorted back to the Ming Dynasty.

The feeling of getting closer and closer to death is really desperate.

But when he really arrived at Zhennan Pass, he didn't faint.

In any case, he is still the pro-vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and he needs to maintain his dignity as a vassal king.

He is a descendant of the Divine Sect, a noble man of the Heavenly Emperor, and he must not disgrace the Divine Sect.

The Annan people handed over to the Ming army at Zhennan Pass, and personally sent Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, Qu Shiyun, the former governor of Guangxi, and others to the Ming army.

Then they retreated to the territory of Annan with great interest, not daring to stay in the territory of the Ming Dynasty for a moment.

Rao is time to see the Ming Wangshi for a total of no more than half an hour, and they were still deeply shocked.

The armor of the Ming army was bright, the lineup was neat, and the morale was high.

In contrast, the army of the Annamite seems to be a rabble.

If the two sides really fight, they don't have to think about it to know who will win and who will lose.

Fortunately, the lord of the country made a correct decision, otherwise if there was a real war, it would be their soldiers who would suffer.

Although today's Ming is no longer the Ming of the past, today's Annan is not the original Annan.

Zheng Zhu and Ruan fought for power, and Annan was also divided into two, if the two were combined into one, they would still have the power to fight with the Ming Dynasty. But neither Zheng Zhu nor the Ruan clan had the ability to fight the Ming alone.

And whoever takes the initiative to provoke a war against the Ming Dynasty will be beneficial to the other side.

The Ming Dynasty could have crusaded against the provocateurs and then supported the docile side to rule Annam.

It was precisely when Lord Zheng understood this that he obediently returned King Gui and his party to the Ming court.

Plugging Yingyin is now in Zhennanguan.

He ordered all the rebel soldiers to be tied up and driven away with ropes.

As for Qu Shiyun, his hands were also tied.

Only Guiwang Zhu Youlang was not treated rudely.

After all, the only one who can make a judgment on King Gui is the current saint.

Before the will of the Son of Heaven was issued, King Gui was still King Gui.

Rao is blocking Yingyin has a thousand disdains for him, and he can't lose his courtesy.

Due to King Gui's defection to Annam, Guangxi's recovery went unexpectedly smoothly.

The old and weak remnants left by King Gui were not the opponents of the army at all, and it took less than half a month for the whole of Guangxi to recover.

Now that the whole of Guangxi is under the control of the imperial court, Du Yingyin does not have to worry about the rest of the Gui Wang Party coming to rob the prisoners.

He didn't plan to delay too long on the road, but planned to escort King Gui and his party directly to Nanjing.

Although His Majesty the Emperor didn't say it, it was definitely a knot in his heart.

As a courtier, of course, he should share his worries for the monarch, solve the hidden danger of King Gui as soon as possible, and the Ming monarchs and ministers should concentrate on the Northern Expedition.

There is nothing to say about blocking Yingyin with King Gui himself.

In his opinion, King Gui lacks both the bearing and the ability to become the king of a country.

Compared with today's saints, King Gui is really 108,000 miles behind.

If the world falls into the hands of King Gui, it will not be a blessing.

If that's really the case, don't talk about ZTE, I'm afraid I won't even be able to do it.

People are self-aware. But King Gui couldn't see himself clearly.

He thinks he has Yao Shun's qualifications, but he doesn't know that he is just a mediocre person.

This kind of person is also bewitched by ambitious courtiers, and when he loses his mind for a while, he will raise troops to rebel.

Even a little sane would not have done such a rebellious thing.

But now that the matter has been done, it must be held accountable.

The Northern Expedition is imminent, and anyone who harms the interests of the Ming Dynasty cannot be tolerated.

"Let's go!"

Du Yingyin raised his right hand and commanded in a deep voice.

The huge army slowly started and headed for Nanjing.

......

......

Nanjing, Forbidden City.

Zhu Cihong received a secret recital, and Zheng Zhilong had fled to Manila.

Today's Manila is the territory of the Spaniards.

As a maritime power, Spain relied on the Invincible Armada to cross the seas and seize countless colonies.

Among them is Manila.

The Spaniards even had a governor in Manila, who was in charge of everything big and small.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhilong actually escaped here.

Now it seems that Zheng Zhilong has the intention of staying in Manila for a long time, could it be said that Zheng Zhilong has reached a consensus with the Spaniards?

In any case, this is something that Zhu Cihong cannot tolerate.

However, at the moment, his attention is still on the Northern Expedition, and when the Northern Expedition is over and Shenjing is recovered, he must send sailors to Manila to capture Zheng Zhilong and return.
