Chapter 388: The Country of Non-Levy

Within a day, Li Yan prepared the silver, and the silver was now just a number for Li Yan, and how much it was just the size of the number.

Zhu Houzhao got married, and the dowry sent by Li Yan was a total of 8.88 million taels!

It took nearly a hundred carriages and horses to deliver the silver to the palace.

As for the use of these silvers, before Li Yi planned it, Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned green.

"Li Yan, you are still good to me, don't touch this silver first, when I get married, I will ride a horse myself, followed by these carriages, which are all silver! Blind the dog's eyes of those civil officials! Zhu Houzhao's mouth was drooling, and Li Yan, who saw it, was shocked for a while.

Where is this to marry a daughter-in-law, this is clearly a naked show of wealth!

"Who let that group of civil officials be like iron roosters, I am married for such a big thing, they actually let me make everything simple!" Zhu Houzhao was indignant and pouted in resistance.

Hearing this, Li Yan was stunned, feeling that he was going to provoke some people's unnecessary jealousy for the sake of this little faint gentleman.

But Zhu Houzhao is happy, not all of this silver is Li Yan's own, that day when he went home from the palace, he told Tang Bohu, Tang Bohu immediately asked himself to enter the stock and paid one hundred taels, and then Xu Pengju didn't know how to hear about it, and also sent one hundred taels, and called it 'brother silver'.

Tang Bohu's approach is understandable to Li Yan, after all, he did so much because of Li Yan, and a bigger part because of Zhu Houzhao, if there was no Zhu Houzhao's secret care, Tang Bohu might not be able to be like this even if he worked hard.

As for Xu Pengju...... This goods is completely here to join in the fun, anyway, his family's silver can't be spent, plus Xu Pengju's grandfather Xu Husband is also about to retire, Xu Gonggong is about to retire, Xu Pengju will succeed to the throne when he retires, this is also a disguised way to please Zhu Houzhao, although Xu Pengju has a good relationship with Zhu Houzhao, there is no need to do this, but in order to block the mouths of Youyou, Xu Pengju also took a little effort.

At the same time, within several small countries around the Ming Dynasty, there was also a wave of national contributions to treasures.

The Ming Dynasty can be said to be an alternative in history, since Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, every time the dynasty changes, it will happen large-scale territorial expansion, but the Ming Dynasty is different, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a civilian, knowing the harm of war to civilians, so strict descendants in order to expand the territory and wage war. In addition, an edict was issued, listing 15 countries as "countries not to be levied".

Among these fifteen countries are Vietnam and Japan.

However, people are not as good as heaven, no matter how heroic the Hongwu Emperor can not decide the thoughts of future generations, due to the different ideas, the fifteen "non-conquered countries" in Vietnam, and then after the Hongwu Emperor, the Ming Dynasty not only conquered, but also repeatedly conquered twice to enter the territory.

Vietnam is one of the fifteen non-conscripted countries, and there is a reason why the Ming Dynasty sent troops to conscript them, and they conscripted them twice.

The emperor's family has the Emperor's Sutra, and the emperors of each family are different.

The previous rulers of Vietnam knew a limit, and they knew how to pretend to be their grandsons, which made the emperors of the Ming Dynasty feel speechless about it.

The Ming Dynasty was strong, and Vietnam immediately came over to kneel and lick, the posture was coquettish and showy, and the leaders of the Ming Dynasty were happy, even if they originally wanted to conquer Vietnam, they were embarrassed now.

Then Ming Chaoyi was happy, so let's do it, your service is so good, and I can't let you run for nothing, I won't attack you, you go home!

That's why there is no levy.

As for why the Ming Dynasty later conquered Vietnam, there was also a reason for this.

The country that is not conquered cannot be conquered, but Vietnam has become a point where it has to be conquered, all because in Vietnam in the last years of the Tran Dynasty, Hu Jichen controlled the government and wantonly slaughtered the clan of the Tran Dynasty.

Fortunately, one of the remnants of the Chen dynasty was able to escape during the massacre of Hu Jichen and went into exile in the Ming Dynasty, where he asked for help from the suzerain. At this time, Emperor Hongwu had died, and the reigning Emperor was Yongle Emperor.

Emperor Yongle is jealous and hateful, he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and when he hears that his vassal countries have such a cruel guy, he is very unhappy, what are you doing? Follow me in the Ming Dynasty, I said that we are exquisite

Etiquette, you sent troops to attack people indiscriminately, and almost gave them a nest, this is too unkind, right? You're not particular!

Emperor Yongle was furious and immediately sent envoys to question Hu Jichen.

The starting point of the Yongle Emperor is good, which means that you can just be stunned for a while, don't be too complacent, I will ask you, and you will admit your mistake to me, and I will forgive you, after all, you are also my vassal country.

But who knows that this Hu Jichen is bold, or he may have drunk fake wine, and as soon as he got drunk, he actually killed the envoy sent by the Yongle Emperor, and he didn't say anything about it, but he was even more ashamed to say a word, which probably meant something like this: "I, Hu Jichen, am not afraid of the earth, what is it to kill an envoy, if you send someone else, I will continue to kill."

This was unlucky, and then Emperor Yongle was furious.

At this time, what made people even more speechless was that Hu Jichen, the old boy, later passed his drunkenness, knew that he had made a mistake, and was worried about the crusade of the Ming Empire, so he actually took the lead in attacking the Ming Empire.

In this case, there is no need to say more.

Emperor Yongle didn't even think about it, so he directly selected a general to pacify Vietnam.

There was no suspense in this battle, and the Ming Dynasty pacified Vietnam in a war. Emperor Yongle set up the "Cochin Political Envoy" in Vietnam, and everything was the same as in the Central Plains.

Although the system is exactly the same as that of the Central Plains, the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Department is not so much a county as a "special administrative region".

Because the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Vietnam was limited to the administration of the prefecture and county, that is, to the local urban center. The basis of the rule was the deeply sinicized Vietnamese Confucianism. After leaving the prefecture and county office, he completely relied on military management. The people of Vietnam, who could not even speak Chinese, did not buy the rule of the Ming Empire.

Then there is the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, this group of guys are also uneasy, at that time the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty knew that they were collecting money, and this group of eunuchs wantonly looted the people's fat and ointment in Vietnam, which deepened the dissatisfaction of the Vietnamese people, so that the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, soon after its establishment, began endless military suppression.

Vietnam is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the title of monkey is not for nothing, the Vietnamese army, with the support of ordinary Vietnamese people, raised troops to rebel, because of the incompetence of the local guards, coupled with too much pressure from the northern Mongolia, the Ming Empire was forced to give up the "Jiaozhi Bu Political Envoy", forced to recognize the later establishment of the Vietnam Hou Li Dynasty.

The ruler of the Later Lê Dynasty in Vietnam was called Le Lê, and Le Le also said that he would continue to pay tribute to the Ming Empire.

With the painful lesson of the "Jiaozhi Political Envoy", as well as the military pressure in the north, and the later decline of its own military strength, the Ming Empire completely gave up the idea of ruling over Vietnam, and was satisfied with Vietnam's claim of tribute.

However, although the Ming Empire gave up the idea of Vietnam, Vietnam took the initiative to stick it again.

In the middle of the Le Dynasty, the government was chaotic, and later a man named Mo Deng Yong took the opportunity to control the government of Vietnam and established the Mo Dynasty in Vietnam.

…… I have to say that Vietnam's naming is really casual, and the ruler is named whatever he wants.

However, because Mo Dengyong was tyrannical and unpopular, the remnants of the Li Dynasty royal family secretly established another regime in the middle of the dynasty and confronted the Mo Dynasty.

With the help of all sides in Vietnam, the Le dynasty made a comprehensive counterattack. The Mo Dynasty was defeated and retreated. At this time, in order to save the defeat and avoid being exterminated. Mo Dengyong chose to be a vassal to the Ming Dynasty. Avoid the destruction of the country by becoming part of the Ming Empire.

Mo Dengyong sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to ask for surrender, and dedicated the land register and household registration of Annan to the Ming Dynasty. On the third day of November of the same year, Mo Dengyong and dozens of ministers bowed down to themselves, entered the town of Nanguan to ask the Ming Dynasty officials to surrender, the Ming Dynasty reduced the Annan country to the subordinate state of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy Division to the subordinate country to the territory, changed its thirteen provinces to the thirteen Xuanfu Division, each set up Xuanfu, Tongzhi, deputy envoys, and servants, listened to the dethronement of the capital, and ordered Mo to be the commander of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy from the second grade, hereditary, three years of tribute, nominally Vietnam re-entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But Mo Dengyong didn't seem to mind this, and he calmly claimed to be the commander of the capital to the Ming Dynasty and continued to call himself the emperor Jianyuan internally.

According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch of the enemy country bound himself and surrendered, and presented the land atlas and household registration, which was to destroy the country. Due to civil strife, the Lê Dynasty in Vietnam was forced to recognize the Annam Metropolitan Envoy Division, and the Annam Metropolitan Envoy was under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Political Envoy Division. Therefore, theoretically, the Commander of Annam is indeed the territory of the Ming Dynasty. However, because the Ming Dynasty, in view of the lesson of "Jiaozhi Bu Political Envoy", completely ignored Annan and unified the envoy, Mo Dengyong was completely independent internally. Therefore, the Commander of the Annam Metropolitan Envoy is just an empty appearance, but not a reality.

Now, after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he destroyed the Tatars, that is, the once invincible Mongolia, with thunder, and Vietnam, a country commonly known as the monkey, began to be in a hurry again.

The Ming Dynasty is too powerful to surrender!

What's even more coincidental is that the Vietnamese emperor in the Zhengde period was still Mo Dengyong!

……

…………

Thang Long, Vietnam, Kyoto has not been renamed Hanoi at this moment, before Thang Long is called Da Luo, according to legend, Li Gongyun, the founding monarch of the Li Dynasty, visited Da Luo, and suddenly saw the golden dragon rising from the surface of the lake, straight to the sky. So he moved the capital to Daluo and changed his name to Thang Long, and later Mo Dengyong was called the emperor, and Thang Long was the capital and has been following it.

At this moment, on the Golden Palace of Vietnam.

Vietnam's Golden Palace is not the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, but it can be seen that it still has a deep relationship with the Golden Luang Hall of the Ming Dynasty, probably because of the submission to the Ming Dynasty, and there are similar ceremonial guards in the Golden Palace of Vietnam to the Ming Dynasty.

Mo Dengyong sat on the dragon bed, Mo Dengyong was obese, due to the size of the body, Mo Dengyong did not set up a dragon chair on the Golden Palace, but placed a dragon bed, which looked a little nondescript, but Mo Dengyong was unconscious, but complacent, thinking that his actions were different from other emperors, and he showed his true dragon life in a unique way.

…… Of course, this kind of thing he thinks about in his heart, he will never say it to outsiders, God knows if these guys will go to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to tell the truth, after all, people are the real true dragon emperor, even if he is the real dragon emperor, he is just a small dragon, and he can't be compared with others.

Mo Dengyong is very self-aware, he has always thought that he is a smart person, and only smart people can make a world under the rule of Hu Jili.

Mo Dengyong has always been very proud of his methods, because he was able to achieve this position by relying on his self-righteous methods.

All the Vietnamese Haoqiang who helped him ascend to the throne before were all 'put into the cold palace' by him, so that there would be no one who could compete with him in the one-third of an acre of land he ruled, and Mo Dengyong could sit back and relax, as for the Ming Dynasty...... The Ming Dynasty is far away from the emperor and ignores them.

But...... Why did that damn Hu Jili reappear recently!!

…… Yes?

What's going on? Why did Vietnam's Haoqiang help Hu Jili again?

Mo Dengyong was puzzled, although those remaining Haoqiang had not helped him before, but in order to keep them from bothering him, he also gave them enough benefits, why did they still help Hu Jili now?

Besides, doesn't Hu Jili already have no strength? Why are those powerful people willing to help him?

Mo Dengyong was puzzled in his heart.
