While the imperial court was discussing the conquest, a large fleet was setting sail from Liujiagang in Suzhou to Annam.

In terms of scale, the scale of this fleet is even greater than that of Zheng He's fleet in another time and space, because it includes more than 200 troop carriers, carrying 15,000 officers and soldiers of the Second Guards Army, and more than 100 large ships loaded with Guards equipment and supplies, in addition to nearly 100 large and small warships of the Fujian fleet.

It is expected that in 20 days, the fleet will arrive in Guangzhou, and join the Nanyang Fleet, which has been waiting there for a long time, and the Tusi "wolf soldiers" who have been summoned from Liangguang are also waiting with the Nanyang Fleet, and the number is expected to be about 10,000.

In another fifteen days or so, they will land in the northeast corner of the Red River Delta in Annam, which has already been named "Anhai City" by Zhu Yunwen.

An Hai City will be the temporary royal capital of Chen Tianping, and the Great Ming Qin Messenger and the envoy of the royal order to convey Chen Tianping have already set out in advance to inform the small court of the Hu clan in Thanh Hoa to go to An Hai City to meet him.

According to Zhu Yunwen's original intention, he would prefer to send an envoy after landing, so that he could have a greater certainty, because the Hu Dynasty did not have time to react, but unfortunately this was opposed by the ministers, who believed that the dignified Celestial Empire must do things above board and upright, and should not be left behind.

Zhu Yunwen thought twice and agreed with the opinions of the ministers, but at the same time he reminded Cao Yushu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Zheng Tongzhou, the commander of the Fujian fleet, and Liu Qianzhu, the commander of the Nanyang fleet, that they must learn the lessons of the previous attacks on Annan in the Central Plains and be cautious in everything......

The envoy to the labor army in Liujiagang was Zhu Yunxi, the king of Ji, after two years of cultivation, Zhu Yunxi had recovered most of his memory and could already come out to do something.

It's just that King Ji was fiercely opposed by the Queen Mother on the matter of Changchun, Jilin, and the Lu family hoped that the emperor would be able to seal Zhu Yunxi closer, and he could often come to see her.

This time I came to Liujiagang, in fact, it was also to distract King Ji.

......

"Your Majesty, according to the observation of my ministers, my Ming generals are at their peak and have high morale, and the generals at all levels are full of confidence in the trip to Annan, and they will definitely win and succeed!"

"Hehe, Yun Xi has worked hard, come on, come on, sit down and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi is twenty-one years old this year, shorter than Zhu Yunxi, and perhaps because of amnesia and illness, his face has a strange paleness.

Looking at his younger brother's face, Zhu Yunwen felt a little sad in his heart, but this emotion only existed for a moment, and immediately disappeared.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat, leaving Liu Zhen alone to wait.

"Yunxi, are you feeling better?"

"Fortunately, thank you Your Majesty for hanging on to me, it's no big deal!"

While speaking, Zhu Yunxi suddenly covered his mouth and coughed quietly.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi behaving like this, Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, but still said in a calm tone: "Yunxi, you are the prince, and you are an adult, you should be able to come out and do something for the country, the Queen Mother asked about you two days ago!" The Queen Mother is old, and we as sons must be more considerate of her old man! ”

"It's just two of us today, tell me what you think!"

“......”

Zhu Yunxi was silent for a while, and arched his hand: "The younger brother is stupid, and he is even more unbearable after falling into the water, plus he is weak and sickly, so the younger brother really doesn't know what he can do, everything but His Majesty and the Queen Mother can be judged, and the younger brother obeys orders!" ”

Hearing Zhu Yunxi's lazy words, Zhu Yunxi was furious in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed himself: "In this case, now that the Northeast has been settled, you can go to Changchun today!" ”

"Brother obeys!"

Zhu Yunxi got up and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Alright, you go down!"

......

However, that night, the Queen Mother Lu called Zhu Yunwen to go, and after a few counts, Zhu Yunwen found that the Queen Mother was old and became more and more verbose, but Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to promise to change Zhu Yunxi's seal and not let him go to the Northeast.

Zhu Yunxi's matter has been put on hold for the time being, but the matter of Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, is imminent, because the "Iron Mask Imperial History" Zhou Xin's recital has been on the Longshu case for three days.

Zhou Xin was ordered to go to Shaanxi to thoroughly investigate the case of tax evasion in the Qin Palace, and encountered great difficulties, because the stewards of the palace involved either died of illness, or were killed, or fled, and there were almost no witnesses.

These testimonies are not credible, so Zhou Xin can only continue to investigate.

At the same time as Zhou Xin's investigation, the fleeing stewards were killed one after another, and finally only three stewards in charge of jade, silk and salt were caught, and the testimony of these stewards proved that there was indeed tax evasion in the Qin Palace, but they were only under the orders of the chief steward Kang'an, and could not testify against Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin.

As for the chief steward Kang An, after happily admitting tax evasion, forced purchase and death, selling smuggled salt, smuggling tea and horses, etc., he committed suicide by taking poison in prison.

At this point, the case has reached a dead end, and the evidence against Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, is obviously insufficient, and although the chief steward Kang An has admitted most of his crimes, his stolen money has disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.

In view of this situation, Zhou Xin wrote a letter requesting that the prisoner be confronted with the king of Qin in order to find out the truth.

For this kind of request, Zhu Yunwen was very helpless, so he could only order someone to send the confession to the Zongren Mansion and ask Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, if there was indeed something wrong, but Zhu Shangbing beat his chest, flatly denied it, and pushed the matter to Kang An.

As for the beating of the tax officials, his explanation was that he was instigated by his concubine Weng Yingxue, and he felt very regretful afterwards, so he beat the concubine to death with a cane to set an example.

......

Even if Zhu Shangbing denied it, the fact of tax evasion in the Qin Wangfu was still very clear.

According to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Tian is exempt from taxes, but only limited to the Son of Heaven to give the field, which is the old Hongwu system, and Zhu Yunwen did not modify it; Regarding commercial tax, Zhu Yunwen reiterated after ascending the throne that there is no reduction or exemption of commercial tax, even for stores under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The land given to the Qin Wangfu was about 12,000 mu, but the land in the account books of the Qin Wangfu was indeed as much as 56,000 mu; In addition, the various shops under the royal palace almost never paid taxes during the Jianwen period.

According to the statistics of Zhou Xin and Mu Benquan, the total amount of tax evasion in the Qin Wangfu over the years is close to one million, of which the land tax, illegal salt and horse smuggling are the most, and the problems of the latter two are quite serious, and the lives of those involved will even be lost!

......

Although there is no real evidence, Zhu Yunwen knows that these things are inseparable from Zhu Shangbing, which makes him a little difficult, Zhu Shangbing's reputation in the clan is not bad, but he has done so many illegal things, what about other vassal kings?

Just when Zhu Yunwen was in trouble, several letters were sent to the Beijing Division, which immediately stirred up a big wave in the imperial court.

This is Zhang Fu's sneak attack on the West Sea.

It was followed by Fang Bin, Ge Cheng and Song Xuan, the capital of Shaanxi.

In the compromise, Zhang Fu said that after the arrival of Dibaonu in Warat, it is likely to integrate the forces of Mongolia, Warat and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, forming a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty in the northwest, and then affecting the westward expansion strategy of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to urgently send troops to cut it off, or at least hit it hard, so as to ensure the long-term peace and stability of the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Fu's recital did not have the signature of Ge Cheng, the superintendent of the recital, but Ge Cheng did not explicitly oppose Zhang Fu's approach in the recital, and his views can be described as impartial, but what he mentioned most was Zhang Fu's military adjustment to various places in the northwest after he set out on the expedition.

Wang Zhonghui led 7,000 cavalry to Hami, and the military side of Gansu was temporarily represented by Guo Liang, the commander of Suzhou Wei, and at the same time, Ge Cheng also asked Song Xuan, the capital of Shaanxi, for help, hoping that he would send troops into Gansu as soon as possible to stabilize the local situation.

Fang Bin had a clear point of view, strongly opposed Zhang Fu's winter expedition, and pointed out various unfavorable factors in the twists and turns, such as distance, weather, troops, too haste, hoping for luck, etc., and at the same time implicitly accusing the imperial court of giving too much power to the border generals, and he had no right to control the border army as a Qincha, and the border generals would inevitably fall into a wave war in order to make meritorious contributions, and the victory of the border generals would be rewarded, and the defeat would damage the court and the country......

Fang Bin's words did touch Zhu Yunwen a lot, but Zhu Yunwen didn't expect Zhang Fu to be so "decisive", in his impression, Zhang Fu is a steady, meticulous, and down-to-earth general, how could he do such a thing?

Although Zhang Fu's reason has some truth, it is too arrogant to want to wipe out the Warat and the Mongol coalition army with just one Guards cavalry army!

Song Xuan's twists and turns are more special, divided into two types: open folds and dark folds.

In a clear compromise, he recounted his deployment, and he was ready to personally lead his troops to Gansu to stabilize the local situation.

In the secret twist, Song Xuan describes his thoughts and points out the reasons why Zhang Fu acted the way he did.

After reading Song Xuan's reason, Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly, he was completely wrong.

This Zhang Fu is not an English duke in another time and space, he is just a poor man who has been constantly looking for a backer since his father and desperately climbing up!
