Chapter 490: Hou Xuanyan's kindness
In November, Peng Zhuze and the Qiongzhou sailors met in Jiaozhou, and the Siamese fled Annam like deer chased by lions.
The reason why the Dayue Dynasty of the Li clan suffered such a crushing defeat and fled to Daming by the Siamese was mainly because they were still fighting in the nest.
The two powerful families, Zheng Ruan's two factions fought seven battles, and the domestic war was raging, and they were found to be empty.
Among them, the status of the Zheng family is the same as that of the Japanese shogun, the Li Emperor is just an ornament, and the Nguyen family is a place that is enough to resist the Zheng family, and the north and south face each other in the small place of Annam.
Siam invaded the north, the Ruan clan was wiped out, and Zheng Zheng, the contemporary head of the Zheng family, took Emperor Li to prepare to return to Thang Long City in Jiaozhou.
Thang Long City is also known as Hanoi in later generations, and this Hanoi is not the hometown of the famous general Phuong Yue, but a famous city in Vietnam.
Departing from Guangxi, with their titular emperor Li Weiqi, they set out from Guangxi for Thang Long City. Guangxi officials had already received the will of the imperial court and did not allow these people to enter Jinling to thank them, so they also gave a few horses and sent them away.
Zheng Zuo's nephew, Zheng Gen, was the general of the Zheng clan and repeatedly led troops to defeat the Nguyen clan. Riding on the back of a slightly weak, but strong enough to carry a man of the toes, he looked around from side to side. Looking at his uncle, who was overjoyed and couldn't hide his mood at all, he said worriedly: "Uncle, I see that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are lukewarm to us, will they help us drive away the Siamese people in vain?" ”
Zheng Zuo was in a good mood, disapproving, and said: "The Han people are so arrogant and arrogant, as long as we write a letter after we go back, and thank Dade and they will be satisfied." This arrogant people have always loved this kind of nihilistic flattery, as long as they are given face, everything can be done. ”
Zheng Gen was still a little suspicious, he really didn't believe that Daming would send hundreds of thousands of people, just to help them, and he didn't want anything.
"Uncle, the current emperor Hou Xuanyan, I heard that he is very keen on expanding his territory, and even the territory of the Mongols has been included in his hands. Our Annan was once invaded by the Ming Dynasty, do you think he will be..."
Zheng Zuo was a little unhappy, on such a happy day, the Ruan clan, who was in great trouble, was wiped out, and the Siamese people were also driven out, and he was about to be self-defeating. At this time, his nephew's words are a bit harsh.
"Don't be suspicious, the Mongols are because they sent troops to help the Manchus invade the south, and we have no recent grudges with the Han people. When we go back, give these Han people a little sweetness and send them away. When the time comes, you will have to pay more attention to the affairs of the major states in the south, which is a big deal. Hum.. We have unified the whole country, and there is no need for the pretense of the Li clan to exist. ”
Zheng Zuo dreamed of the Spring and Autumn Festival and returned all the way back to Thang Long City, which had been carried out by the Ming army.
The Siamese fled very decisively, almost eager to even take off their clothes to reduce weight, the Qiongzhou Sailor has just been established, their family background is not rich, far less than the Fuzhou Sailor, this time while raising their eyebrows, they did not forget to make some extra money, a large number of property was transported to Qiongzhou (Hainan).
The long and narrow coastline in the south of Jiaozhi just encloses Qiongzhou in an arc, and Ding Chongyuan, the commander of the Qiongzhou Navy, and Peng Zhuze stood on the tower of Thang Long City together and looked north.
The people of Jiaozhi happily surrounded their emperor and the prince to return to their homes, and the officials who did not have time to flee north finally dared to come down from the mountains where they were hiding, and the further south they went, the more people came, and when they arrived outside Thang Long City, they were already a mighty long dragon.
Zheng Zuo came to the city with the puppet Li Weiqi, Peng Zhuze nodded, and the city gate was opened with a wave of the flag.
A group of old and young people of the Dayue Dynasty, old tears, can finally return to the garden.
You must know that it has been almost a year since the Siamese coalition army came to attack, and Hou Xuanyan waited until he ascended the throne to find time to clean up this matter. At that time, the whole of Annam fell into the hands of the Siamese, which means that they worked as slaves for a whole year.
In Thang Long City, there is a palace built entirely after the Forbidden City, but there is definitely a gap in spirit and scale.
Peng Zhuze was in this hall, standing at the top, but he didn't sit down. Since ancient times, the generals who have commanded the army and entered the capitals of other countries, if they used the costumes of hairpins and made dragon chairs, they would be suspicious of the imperial court.
Although he didn't sit, he stood there, and he didn't mean to let Li Weiqi come up and sit.
Zheng Zuo was a little unhappy, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty for driving away the enemy for us, we Annan people will never forget the kindness of the Ming Dynasty." ”
The translator next to him spoke clearly and spoke very loudly, Peng Zhuze actually smiled shyly after hearing it, and then said: "You're welcome, you are also Your Majesty's people, of course you must be protected by Your Majesty." Now I will pass on His Majesty's message, and all the officials above the fifth rank of the Li Dynasty will be relocated to Qiongzhou to live. Annam was renamed Jingnan Province, Thang Long City was renamed Dingnan Province, and the officials sent by the imperial court were about to arrive soon, and this time the general would take over Jingnan Province on his behalf. ”
Zheng Zuo, like all the people of the Li Dynasty, froze in place, and didn't expect his nephew to become a hairpin, Jingnan and Jingbei, didn't he end up with Mongolia?
Zheng Zuo immediately objected, and his rhetoric was fierce and argued, and after chattering for a while, the translator nervously memorized what he said, and just wanted to translate but Peng Zhuze stretched out his hand to stop him.
"No need to translate, does he disagree?"
The translator nodded blankly... Zheng Zuo's words stinked and long, but his unwilling attitude was obvious.
"Then you ask, if the others are willing."
The translator stiffened his head and asked, "General of the Ming Dynasty, I asked you if you would like to move to Qiongzhou." ”
Almost all of the officials present were above the fifth grade, where was anyone willing to give up his official position and go to that small place in Qiongzhou. After that, there must be no official to do, even if it is the prefect of Qiongzhou, it is just an official from the fourth grade.
Everyone shook their heads together, firmly on Zheng Zuo's side, who nodded with satisfaction.
Peng Zhuze smiled: "That's fine, nothing else matters." After speaking, he pointed to Zheng Zuo and said: "This person flagrantly disobeys the emperor's order, and he is an enemy of His Majesty." Your Majesty's enemies are my enemies, the enemies of all the Ming army, and everyone else is accomplices, so kill them. ”
Two hundred native soldiers rushed in, and they couldn't help but say that they didn't have the slightest room for maneuver to negotiate, and they were killed with their swords.
In the main hall of Thang Long City, the bloody aura was fierce in an instant, and the blood light was filled. Except for one Li Weiqi, everyone else was killed cleanly.
Even Ding Chongyuan, the commander of the Qiongzhou Navy Division, was stunned, and after a while, he roared: "What are you doing? ”
Peng Zhuze smiled a little innocently, this swarthy man, when he didn't wield a knife, he was like an old farmer in the field, he squinted and smiled: "General Ben, take Nanyang for Your Majesty!" ”
In December, the imperial court officials were stationed in Jingnan Prefecture, and the local forces in Annam rebelled one after another, attacking Pantan and Xianziguan, and controlling the traffic of Sanjiang Mansion.
Peng Zhuze led his troops, with the cooperation of the naval divisions, to break through the naval divisions and cities along the Shuimen River, Shengju River, and Lei River, captured the rebel leaders alive, completely annihilated the main force of the rebels, and brutally suppressed the rebellious people.
Kidnapping women's jade silks, accounting for grain storage, protecting rogue officials, and recruiting homeless people to settle down. All the rebellious people were executed, and many of the children were castrated for boys and boys, and girls were collected everywhere and sent to Jinling.
Officials in Jingnan, Guangxi, and Qiongzhou have written letters to impeach Peng Zhuze, who are ruthless, murderous, and self-serving. There were also some criticisms in the army, and for a time there was a fierce debate between the government and the opposition on this matter.
Hou Xuanyan sat on the dragon chair, overlooking the quarrel in the Fengtian Palace, and absentmindedly stretched out his hand to support his waist.
Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him, and the quarrel stopped abruptly.
"I helped them drive out the invaders, and when the army was still there, there were rebels. Chilling! This is all due to the ignorance of education and cunning and selfishness. The Yue people were originally of the Han race, and they have been dyed for a long time, so they have today's viciousness. The decree went down, recruited masters and scholars from the people, and went to Jingnan to set up officials and govern to teach Chinese etiquette. Widely apply the benevolence of one eye and share the rule of peace. From then on, they were only allowed to speak Chinese and use Chinese characters to celebrate the Central Plains Festival, to help them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, deviate from animal morality, and restore their humanity.
All the books of the Yue people were burned, and not a single page was left to harm people. Officials in Jingnan should be diligent, trade and reassure the people, have an unshirkable responsibility, educate the localities as soon as possible, settle down in Lishu, and do not lose hope. ”
