Chapter 340: Grievances, Surprise

The grievances between the Ming Dynasty and Jiaozhi can be counted from the five dynasties, and the next can be counted from the eight periods of Zhu Chong.

In the year 4066 of the Yellow Emperor, the first year of Hongwu, he was born as a cattle herder, and successively worked as a beggar, a monk, a rebel and many other occupations, and finally successfully ascended to the throne Zhu Chongba's classmates faced a big problem.

Do you want to take back the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties?

At this time, there are remnants of the Northern Yuan in the north of the Ming Dynasty, if Annan is completely forced to the opposite side of the Northern Yuan, then the Ming Dynasty is very likely to suffer from the enemy and start a war on two fronts.

If it was just a fight, then Emperor Zhu might not be afraid of anyone, but the Ming Dynasty, who had just established the country, was facing a series of headaches.

For example, one of the most important problems: lack of money.

The last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, whose name was Tieguo, did exactly the same thing as his name when he ran away.

He took all the gold, silver and jewelry he could find at that time.

There is no money, the crippled Central Plains still needs to resume production, and the people have to be resettled, for many reasons, coupled with the fact that Annan was also relatively honest at that time, and had thwarted the attack of Meng Yuan, Emperor Zhu could only endure this bad breath, and only asked many vassal states, including Annan, to pay tribute.

But with such a large piece of land outside, to say that Emperor Zhu didn't have any ideas in his heart was basically.

On the surface, Emperor Zhu listed Annan as a country not to be conquered, but on the other hand, Emperor Zhu, who thought that he had inherited the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, constantly sent people to worship the famous mountains and rivers of Annan with a special Annan plot, trying to show his sovereignty over Annan.

However, Annan did not appreciate it, relying on his own non-conquest country, and began to stride towards the road of continuous death, and when it came to death, especially those who dared to die in the Yongle period, in addition to Arutai on the grassland, there was also a Li Jichen who was later renamed Hu Jichen.

In the second year of Jianwen, Li Jichen and his son killed Chen Rikun, the then king of Annam, and the entire Chen family was almost slaughtered, and even Chen Di's close relatives could not be seen.

The Li family made a lot of trouble in Annan, and Zhu Laosi, who was busy with the martyrdom at that time, also made a lot of trouble in Daming.

When Zhu Lao Sijing was finished, Annan made a fuss even more fiercely-

The neighbor to the north, the Ming Dynasty, is a big country, and the neighbor to the south is a small country.

Champa is not Annan's opponent, and it is useless to be angry, which reminds me that the suzerain, Daming, is coming.

In the first year of Yongle, the Champa State sent an envoy to Nanjing to accuse Annan of the crime of Daming, and Zhu Laosi, who had just finished cleaning up the mess of Jingnan, was a son of all his vassals, and he wanted a bowl of water to tell Annan: Give Lao Tzu a little stop!

Li Jichen, a little expert in death, quickly sent someone to reply to Zhu Laosi: From now on, I should rest the soldiers and calm the people, and rely on the holy teachings.

This means that, for your sake, I'm starting to stop fighting the city.

Of course, that's what the validity of this kind of diplomatic rhetoric is, and everyone will say that no one takes it too seriously.

In April of the second year of Yongle, Annan Zhoushi attacked Zhancheng from the sea, and let Zhancheng return to Annan, and specially warned Zhancheng: Don't tell Daming about the beating!

At that time, the lord of the city of Zhancheng thought that your words didn't count, so I promised you that if you don't sue, you really won't sue? Everyone is a son for others, why should I listen to you? Just because you have big fists? So what better can you do than Dad?

Thinking about it like this, so the messenger of Zhancheng ran to Daming and cried again!

As soon as the envoys of Zhancheng cried, Zhu Laosi's heart also became angry, and he simply sent someone to Annan again and told Li Jichen: first return the occupied land of Luzhou, Xiping Prefecture, and Yongping Village in Siming Prefecture, Guangxi; If you bully Champa again, you will wait to die!

If there was a protest before, it has now reached the point of serious warning, but it has not yet reached the level of not being unexpected.

But what happened next made Zhu Laosi completely stunned.

On August 28, the second year of Yongle, Chen Tianping, the only survivor of the Chen clan of the king of Annam, fled to Laos and then fled to Daming.

This time, Zhu Laosi was no longer angry, but really angry.

On the seventeenth day of the first month of the third year of Yongle, Zhu Laosi, who wanted to smash the Aru Odaiba, sent Annan again, and even spared Li Jichen with kind words: "You are a courtier, repeatedly usurped, and seized it, the crime is monstrous, and you will not die!" ”

After receiving Zhu Laosi's notice of "don't say anything unpredictable", Li Jichen also weighed out his weight, knowing that the hard top would definitely not be able to withstand it.

However, if you do a bad thing, you don't care about doing one more thing, and you don't care if your character is bad again, so Li Jichen simply sent an envoy to reply to Zhu Laosi: I thought that the Chen family would be the king without a queen, since the Chen family has a queen, then ask him to return to China to reset the throne.

Of course, Li Jichen knew in his heart how bad his character was, and he also knew that this kind of could not win Zhu Laosi's trust, so he also deliberately swore to the heavens and the earth: "Dare to have two hearts, so you can carry two people, and the gods will kill you!" ”

After getting Annan's reply, Zhu Laosi summed up Li Jichen's attitude and was sincere, and thought that it was a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding vassal states to be able to peacefully solve these bad things in Annan, so in the first month of the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Laosi sent Huang Zhong, the left deputy general of Guangxi, and Lu Yi, the right deputy general, to escort Chen Tianping back to China, and gave Li Jichen a candy: he was allowed to be the "prince" of the position, and he was given the title of "Shanggong", and the descendants of the descendants were passed on, and they were endless.

Considering that Li Jichen's credit line was seriously insufficient, before Chen Tianping returned to Annan, Emperor Zhu Laosi specially told the general governor of the Guangxi General Army to conquer the south, Tongzhi Han Guan, Huang Zhong, Lu Yi, etc.: "When the balance arrives and it is sent back to the country, it is especially appropriate to judge the situation, thinking that the advance and retreat should not be neglected." ”

Huang Zhong led the army into Annam, and felt that the atmosphere was quite friendly: along the way, the common people ate pot pulp, and when they heard that the Chen family had returned to China to succeed to the throne, they were all smiling, and Li Jichen's arrangements were also very thoughtful, and there were officials everywhere the Ming army went, and they were treated with wine and meat.

Then Li Jichen, the unlucky child, really died a big death.

This goods arranged 100,000 ambush soldiers to ambush the Ming army that escorted Chen Tianping back to China, not only disarmed the Ming army, but also wiped Chen Tianping in front of the Ming envoys and the army!

Finding that he was shabu-shabu, and just about to find a chicken to slaughter for the surrounding vassal states, Zhu Laosi directly appointed Zhu Neng as the general of Zhengyi, Mu Sheng and Zhang Fu as the deputy generals of the left and right, and took 300,000 horses from Guangxi and Yunnan to the south to quell the chaos.

In less than three months, the Ming army attacked the northern part of the Annan Yuan, but the commander Zhu Neng died of illness in the army due to overwork. As soon as the news spread, Li Jichen was in good spirits and tried to rely on the terrain of Langshan to attack the Ming army.

In order to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army in Lang Son, so as to show their muscles to the Ming Dynasty, Li Jichen and his son also built seven fortresses here, hoarded military rations that could be used for five years, and it is said that the land and water forces plus logistics civilians reached 2 million people, and there was a mysterious weapon: elephant cavalry.

However, elephants are relatively intelligent creatures, smart enough to know that they are greedy for life and afraid of death.

When the "Nine Hundred Miles Defense Line" carefully built by Li Jichen and his son was abolished by Zhang Fu, who took over from Zhu Neng, so that they had to resort to the last killer elephant cavalry, these elephants were so frightened by the artillery that they turned around and rushed to the military formation of the Annan army.

The monkey didn't understand playing with the elephant, Li Jichen and his son were escorted to the capital and beheaded after they fled in defeat, and Zhu Laosi's plot of "recovering the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties" was also committed!

Abolish Annan, and place Jiaozhi to announce the political envoy department, which consists of 15 prefectures, 36 prefectures, and more than 180 counties!

Then Jiaozhi entered a state of rebellion from time to time, and Zhang Fu, who was involved in the four expeditions, also successfully left the image of the big demon king who ate people's hearts in the hearts of Annan monkeys.

In the fourteenth year of Yongle, at that time, Zhu Laosi was thinking about smashing the field of Alutai, so Zhang Fu was recalled.

And without Zhang Fu in Jiaozhi Township, in the sixteenth year of Yongle, he disliked that the reward given by the Ming Dynasty was too small and the official was too small, and Li Li, who called himself the "King of Pingding", rebelled in Lanshan Township......

At that time, Zhu Laosi, who was busy with dead dogs, sent Li Bin, the Marquis of Fengcheng, with the intention of training troops while quelling the rebellion, and when Li Bin went to work, it happened to be just in time for the Ming Dynasty to need laborers - if nothing else, just catching laborers can catch monkeys and extinct them.

But what no one expected was that Zhang Fu in front of him could press the monkeys to the ground and rub them, and Li Bin, who took over, could also catch laborers frantically according to the monkeys, but after Li Bin died of illness, Wang Tong, the Marquis of Chengshan, fell off the chain.

Wang Tong did not follow Li Bin's line to arrest laborers, nor did he follow Zhang Fu's routine to kill and kill, but his mind was full of ideas of convincing people with virtue, so that Li Li's movements became more and more noisy, and he even started three chapters of the law with Annan Monkey:

"The people have been suffering from the abuse of government for a long time, and wherever they go to the prefectures and counties, they have not committed any crimes in the autumn, and they are not the cattle valley of the puppet officials, although they are very hungry and poor, they must not be taken indiscriminately."

Of course, just listen to this kind of.

The cattle grain of non-puppet officials shall not be taken indiscriminately, which refers to the fact that if the cattle and grain owned by the monkeys of Annam were not given by the Ming government, then Li Li's army would never be robbed casually even if they starved to death.

But think about it casually, how many cow grains could the monkeys in Annam have?

There is no way to tell whether the grain is given by the Ming government, but most of the cattle in the entire Annam are transported from the border city!

……

There are few fathers in this world who do not love their sons, and Zhu Laosi is no exception.

Although he said that he was assigning Zhu Gaochi to Jiaozhi for exercise, in order to ensure the safety of Zhu Gaochi, a fat boy, in addition to the prince's young army and Jiaozhi's military and political power, Zhu Laosi also deliberately asked Anyuan Hou Liusheng to lead an army of 100,000 to accompany Zhu Gaochi to the south to Jiaozhi.

As for Zhu Zhanji's original plan to go south on a treasure ship, it was rejected by Zhu Laosi and Xia Yuanji - the entire Western fleet is now busy to death, where are there any extra treasure ships!

It's just that when he finally arrived at Jiaozhi by land, Chengshan Hou Wang Tong gave Zhu Gaochi a big surprise.

In other words, there is only surprise, but no joy.

"Who allowed you to make peace with the thief?"
