Chapter 596: Liwei
Pacify the Southern Han Dynasty and recover Lingnan!
Chai Rong wrote a strong stroke in his credit book again, but His Majesty the Emperor didn't seem to be very satisfied, and he didn't mean to return to his teacher at all.
Ye Hua and Wei Renpu discussed, and decided to send Li Shi over to meet the Son of Heaven, tell him about the situation in Jinling, and by the way, ask Chai Rong to return as soon as possible and preside over the overall situation.
Li Xi went quickly, but came back even faster.
He said to Ye Hua with a sad face: "Your Majesty said that Lingnan is in chaos, and he is not ready to return to the division, and in addition, Annan is a barbarian, and he dares to break away from the Central Plains, it is simply a crime that cannot be punished, he wants to personally drive the expedition and crusade against Annan!" ”
"Wait!"
Ye Hua hurriedly stopped Li Shi, his face was weird, "You're not mistaken, Your Majesty is going to attack Annan...... No, absolutely not! ”
What are you kidding, if you want to go to Annam, you have to cross 100,000 mountains, where the climate is hot and humid, the plague is rampant, and there are poisonous insects and poisonous snakes everywhere, and you can die with a single bite.
Ye Hua calculated, Chai Rong has been the emperor for three years, Guo Wei has worked for two years longer than in history, according to the original history, Chai Rong's life has entered the countdown.
If you go to Annam, get into the plague, or get injured and poisoned...... The good things are going to be ruined.
"Your Majesty must not be allowed to go to Annan, if you have to go, I am willing to go on an expedition on behalf of Your Majesty!"
Ye Hua was very anxious, but Li Shi waved his hand.
"Senior brother, don't be impatient, Your Majesty doesn't really want to go, he is now in Lingnan, eating lychees! By the way, he also specially ordered to select the lychees that have blossomed and fruited, bring the soil, load them on the ship, and transport them back to Beijing. ”
"Wait!" Ye Hua felt that his head was a little messed up, and he had to sort it out again, what was Chai Rong going to do?
Li Shi said from beginning to end, after destroying the Southern Han Dynasty, Chai Rong was not polite at all, and directly called Zhu Lingyun to the front, and after some encouragement, he sighed again, mentioning that Annan broke away from the Central Plains and established himself as the king, which is really hateful, if he loses Annan, he is not only ashamed of the first emperor, but even sorry for the emperors of the past dynasties since the Qin and Han dynasties.
For more than 1,000 years, it has been the land of the Central Plains, is it in the hands of this generation, is it lost?
There is a way that the monarch is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, where can Zhu Lingyun not understand, he also sees the clue, this emperor, His Majesty, is not easy to fool.
Collusion with Manichaeism is not unusual!
Will you let yourself go easily?
Even if he lets it go, it is estimated that he will not leave himself in the Central Plains.
Zhu Lingyun thought about it for a while, had an idea, and immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister has nothing to repay, and the criminal minister is willing to raise the division of 100 million brigades to capture Annan." Moreover, Annam is a barbarian, violent and capricious, and the most shameless. If the minister is willing to lead the army to be stationed in Annan after pacifying Annan, Yongzhen side, as long as the minister still has a breath, he will never let Annan escape from the palm of the Great Zhou! ”
Zhu Lingyun's statement was finally appreciated by Chai Rong and pulled him up with his own hands.
"Zhu Qing, I want to be so prosperous in the Tang Dynasty, the territory is vast, the gods are mighty, and the night is small...... In the past few decades, the imperial court has changed endlessly, attacking each other, and even the little Annan dares to go against the country! It just doesn't make sense! ”
Chai Rong turned around, took a sword of the Son of Heaven, and gave it to Zhu Lingyun.
"I will now crown you as the Duke of Yueguo, and immediately lead 30,000 horses to attack Annam by land. In addition, I have given an order to General Ren Tianxing, let his sailors cooperate with you in the battle, capture Jiaozhou, occupy the entire Annam Plain, and then go south to capture Zhancheng, in short, to continue to expand the territory, do not stop! ”
Zhu Lingyun couldn't help but feel a sense of encouragement, he could feel a strong enterprising heart from Chai Rong, and it was also a blessing to be able to follow a son of heaven who made a difference!
"Obey the Hadith!"
Chai Rong said: "Don't worry, I let you go to Annan, not to throw you over and leave it alone, I have already decided that those officials who have committed crimes, the defeated soldiers of various countries, and the displaced people who have no land, I will arrange and send Annan in batches...... With these people, it is enough for you to make Annam a Han family paradise, and as for the local barbarians, you know what to do! ”
"Ahh
Zhu Lingyun was shocked, what is the anger of the Son of Heaven and the ambush of millions of corpses, this is it!
My God, this son of the Great Zhou is too ruthless!
"Your Majesty!" Zhu Lingyun swallowed hard and spit, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you have to destroy the barbarians in Annan?" ”
Chai Rong was unhappy, "When did I say that!" ”
"Then, what is the holy will, the minister is really stupid and can't comprehend it!"
Chai Rong snorted, "If you can't comprehend, just ask Fu Zhaoyuan and Fu Zhaoshou, and ask Ren Tianxing, what did they do in Annan, do you still use me to teach you?" ”
It's really not, Zhu Lingyun held his head and came out of the palace, he didn't look for anyone, and directly asked his subordinates to inquire on the dock, and when the news was returned, Zhu Lingyun was dumbfounded.
Ten merchant ships came from Annam, and these merchant ships were not loaded with any cargo, they were all loaded with people!
Once born and twice ripe, Ren Tianxing trafficked human beings, he was already quite experienced, and after he was caught, he was cut and survived for three days, and then he was sent to the ship and transported back to Da Zhou to serve as a slave.
A big ship can carry up to 200 people!
The cabin is filthy and foul-smelling, worse than a pig's nest...... Occasionally, slaves would have wounds that could not be treated, and the crew would throw the injured people directly into the sea.
Trailing behind the ship, there will even be sharks, devouring slaves who have not yet died...... Listening to his subordinates, Zhu Lingyun was creepy and shuddered!
Don't say it, it's terrible!
He suddenly felt that it was also a good thing to be able to stay away from the Great Zhou Tianzi.
It's cruel!
……
There is no doubt that Zhu Lingyun is a chess piece in Chai Rong's hand, a pioneer.
Even if he didn't succeed and died halfway through, or was sick and couldn't walk, Chai Rong was not worried, because he had more substitutes.
After taking Lingnan, there were as many as 60,000 or 70,000 people from the original Southern Han Dynasty, as well as so many clan bureaucrats, gentry, and merchants...... Chai Rong doesn't want to deal with Jiangnan's mother-in-law like that, he has now opened up the second line of Ren Du and found the best garbage dump.
"Senior brother, what Your Majesty means is for you to send those rebellious thieves and implicated family officials to Lingnan, and then send people from Lingnan to Annan to completely replace the local natives, and within ten years, Your Majesty will increase the number of Han people in Annan to more than seventy percent...... After taking control of Annan, they continued to expel and advance, forcing them to occupy more territory. Li Yan scratched his head, "I said junior brother, this seems to be your style of acting!" But His Majesty's hand is obviously bigger! ”
Ye Hua was not at all happy that he had taught a good apprentice.
The distribution of Lingnan is already the end of the world, and if you go to Annam, it will almost be hell.
Ye Hua originally just wanted to distribute some criminal officials, but according to Chai Rong's meaning, everything that is not pleasing to the eye must be distributed, then it is not a few hundred, a few thousand, but a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or even millions!
The homeland is difficult to leave, a large number of immigrants will definitely bring huge turmoil, just pressed down the traitor, many things have not been resolved, so they are in a hurry to immigrate in a big way, His Majesty's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, Ye Hua feels that the pressure on his shoulders is comparable to a Mount Tai!
Since ancient times, the Holy Monarch and Lord Ming have been the most difficult to serve, looking at those courtiers of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then looking at the famous ministers under Tang Taizong, Ye Hua suddenly felt that his life would become a thousand times more difficult than these people!
"Senior brother, don't be upset, in fact, Your Majesty still feels sorry for you, no, I have already issued an order to send all the captured war elephants to Jinling, and I will come in a few days."
"War elephants?"
"That's right, five hundred!"
Ye Hua's eyes were dark, and he almost wanted to scold his mother.
What are you doing with so many elephants?
"Are you sure it's not ivory?" Ye Hua wondered.
"I'm pretty sure it's an elephant, an elephant jumping around like a wall! Your Majesty wants to use the elephant to promote the power of heaven, help you clean up people's hearts, and reduce the resistance of immigrants by the way...... How's that, killing multiple birds with one stone, right? ”
His Majesty the Emperor has thought so well, what else can Ye Hua say.
Let's hold it, it won't work anyway, let's talk about it after it's done!
Seven days later, a huge procession of elephants came from far and near towards the south gate of Jinling.
These huge beasts, shaking their fangs, shaking their noses, and their huge ears, kept flickering, and under the manipulation of the elephant slaves, they ran whizzing.
The pillar-like thighs, stepping on the ground, shook loudly and reached everyone's hearts...... In Jinling City, there are not many people who have seen elephants, and those who have seen 500 elephants are even few!
These beasts rushed over with the momentum of destroying the world, and everyone subconsciously retreated to the sides, giving way to the wide road in the middle.
The elephant roared excitedly, and the sound was like thunder, bursting in the ears!
What a beast, it's terrifying!
The water of the Tianhe River, rolling in, and the surging elephant herd are simply more terrible than the torrent of the Yangtze River.
Jiangnan is a talented person, they stared stupidly, and various adjectives kept popping up in their heads, but they found that they couldn't describe the one ten-thousandth of the shock, and many people were extremely annoyed.
The people are even more ear-to-ear, pointing and pointing, every time at this time, there are always some know-it-alls in the crowd, they tell the big guys, what are these war elephants, when Your Majesty captured Lingnan, the Southern Han concentrated tens of thousands of war elephants, and as a result, Your Majesty easily broke through, effortlessly, and captured Guangzhou...... Tianzhou Tianzi, that is the real emperor, in comparison, Li Hongji is not worthy of lifting shoes for him!
When the people heard this, they all showed admiration and fear, and in the end only a deep sense of awe remained...... Along with these huge war elephants, the image of the Great Zhou Tianzi is also imprinted in their hearts, and this imprint can last a lifetime!
They are no longer the people of the Tang Dynasty, but the people of the Great Zhou!
In this way, Chai Rong dramatically made the final decision and completed the final work of changing the dynasty.
On the second day after the war elephant entered Beijing, Wang Han, on behalf of the Taicang Wang family, asked Ye Hua for guilt, and Shang Shuling's mysterious identity was finally revealed......
