The news that Mao Wenlong was dismissed from his post with a cane soon spread inside and outside the government and the opposition.

For such a hero, I originally thought that he was going to fly Huang Tengda and step on everyone's heads to make a fortune, but he actually annoyed the emperor because of the emperor's disgrace, was dismissed from his post and reprimanded, and was also sent to the Xuanwu Battalion as a soldier, which really made a group of people laugh.

Those who were disgruntled because they were robbed of merit by Mao Wenlong suddenly felt that their anger was smooth.

They laughed and discussed this unlucky fellow, and there was a little sympathy between the words, with the idea of "I don't hold a grudge against you if you are so unlucky".

Liao Zhong and Ma Chong and others are clear and clear.

This is clearly protecting Mao Wenlong......

"It seems that Your Majesty admires Mao Wenlong very much."

Ma Chong smiled bitterly: "He didn't hesitate to use this way to smooth out everyone's dissatisfaction with him, and took the opportunity to send him to the Xuanwu camp, is this punishing him or giving him a chance to make contributions?" It's just a personal general by my side, how can I be treated like this by His Majesty? ”

Liao Zhong smiled: "What's the matter? Not happy? ”

Ma Chong didn't speak.

"I inquired, Mao Wenlong's origin is not simple, his maternal uncle is now Yin Shen Guangzuo of Shuntian Mansion."

"Civilian?"

Ma Chong frowned: "Doesn't Your Majesty hate civilian officials the most for contaminating military power?" At the beginning of the founding of this dynasty, the rules were set, Wen did not lead the army and did not interfere in politics, Mao Wenlong had such a maternal uncle, and he should not be promoted, but should be suppressed! ”

Liao Zhong shook his head and looked in the direction of the palace.

"The power of heaven is unpredictable, what is in your majesty's heart, how can we know? Your Majesty is already the emperor, no longer the handsome of the year, we must be careful in our future style, Your Majesty's approach is not to warn us not to be too arrogant, the fate of the Liaodong Army in the former Ming Dynasty is not good, you and I must take it as a warning. ”

Ma Chong shrank his head.

"Then we really won't participate in the big war in the south?"

"That's natural, we just fought in Liaodong, and now we are going to the south to join in, what will other people think of us? Let's eat meat and let others drink soup? Back then, the marshals could level the armies everywhere, let alone become emperors, so let's just listen to His Majesty's orders.

Others, don't think too much, don't do too much, come to our position, do more wrong, don't forget how Your Majesty became the emperor, and now you can still be so kind to us, don't seize military power and don't kill heroes, what else do you want? ”

Ma Chong swallowed.

"I know, I know, let's go back to Liaodong as soon as possible, stay here, I always feel uncomfortable."

"Also, go back early and do things early."

Liao Zhong sighed and nodded: "Next, let's take a look at Zhao Hu and Zheng Ying, as soon as this battle is over, I estimate that Your Majesty should reorganize the army." ”

"Are the seven battalions really going to change? Where did you hear the wind? ”

Ma Chong hurriedly asked.

"Definitely, hundreds of thousands of troops are organized in the seven battalions, and the Zhennan Army is okay to say, now we are the Great Qin Army, how can we not change? I just don't know how His Majesty wants to change it, and I guess the change will not be small. ”

Liao Zhong sighed: "After all, the power of heaven is unpredictable......"

A few days later, Xiao Ruxun once again summoned the meritorious generals of Liaodong to the palace to pay a visit, rewarded them with some other items, and then announced that they would return to Liaodong to take up their posts on a later date, and brought the emperor's condolences to the Liaodong army to reward the army on his behalf.

The troops stationed in North Korea should be rewarded with a little more, because they have more things to do.

In response to the current situation in North Korea, Xiao Ruxun issued a holy decree to the king of North Korea, Li Hao, to appease him, let him continue to be the king of North Korea, saying that the Great Qin army would help him stabilize the situation, and then withdraw after the situation was stable.

I left soldiers to give you a fox and a fake tiger, and I also rewarded you with 100,000 taels of silver, don't you want to pay something?

Is it true that Daqin is your own father and doesn't care about you?

However, the trouble is not over yet, the North Korean side has just settled down, and the country of Annam in the south has gone wrong again.

On the first day of November in the first year of Longwu, Xiao Ruxun received a cabinet report, saying that Mo Jinggong, the envoy of Annan who was canonized by the former Ming Dynasty, asked for assistance from Daqin to help him clean up the rebellious Zheng Song in Annan, otherwise the Mo clan would be finished.

Mo's, Xiao Ruxun is no stranger, when the Northern Expedition, Xiao Ruxun used Southeast Asian countries to enter the Northern Expedition from Zhennanguan, and once used the Gaoping area controlled by Mo's control.

There have been business contacts before, but there are not many contacts, mainly due to the borrowing facilitated by Na Ruixuan.

Xiao Ruxun didn't know much about Annan's situation, and he didn't have much interest in them, so he read Mo Jinggong's recital and felt that he didn't figure out the problem.

So he called up the file of the former Ming Dynasty about Annan, and then asked Wang Xijue to enter the palace and ask him about it, so that he could figure out what kind of mess Annan was like now.

During the Jiajing period of the former Ming Dynasty, there was a great turmoil in the Later Li Dynasty of Annam, and the powerful minister Mo Dengyong overthrew the emperor of the Later Li Dynasty, established himself as the emperor, and began the rule of the Mo Dynasty of Annam.

But this guy doesn't have much ability, and he hasn't been able to eliminate the remnants of the Hou Li Dynasty for many years, but has made them revived.

Not much younger, the news of his rebellion let Emperor Jiajing know, Emperor Jiajing was furious, and immediately sent troops south to Annan to ask Mo Dengyong for guilt, Mo Dengyong personally led the minister to Zhennan Pass to ask the Ming army for guilt, and defended himself.

In fact, the Ming army didn't want to make a big move, just to maintain its prestige and tributary system, and it was not interested in really restoring the country for the Li clan.

Then, Mo was reprimanded by Emperor Jiajing, degraded Annan as the commander of Annan, and demoted the king of Annan as the commander of Annan, and legally included Annan in the Ming system, which can be regarded as a recognition of Mo's rule over Annan.

Mo Dengyong accepted such a punishment with peace of mind, and called himself a minister to the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind, claiming to be the commander of the capital of Annan, and still calling himself the emperor internally.

However, the Mo clan was incompetent and could not completely eliminate the remnants of the Li clan, but instead brought about the division of the northern and southern dynasties in Annam after Mo Dengyong.

The Later Li Dynasty in the south, under the leadership of the powerful minister Zheng Song, actually resurrected, regained its foothold, and repeatedly fought with the Mo clan in the north, winning and losing each other.

But on the whole, the Mo family was actually in a weak position, and later only entrenched in the Gaoping area, under the protection of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the Ningxia Rebellion occurred in the Ming Dynasty, the Later Li Dynasty has entered the stage of strategic counteroffensive, constantly throwing the Mo Dynasty in the north into the city and losing land, and the royal family and even the emperor have died several times, completely entering a state of lingering.

In order to protect themselves, the Mo royal family once again asked the Ming Dynasty for help, and under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the civil war in Annam was temporarily subsided, but within a few years, the Ming Dynasty itself was in chaos.

In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun went on a northern expedition, led the army from Burma to Zhennanguan to fight, and the huge turmoil made the entire Southeast Asia know that there was a civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no time to take care of anything else, Zheng Song took this opportunity to launch a general attack on the Mo family, and the Mo family was defeated and retreated, if it were not for a few leading figures to resist, it was estimated that it would be on the verge of death.

Mo Jinggong, the contemporary emperor of the Mo clan, decisively fled to Longzhou County, Guangxi Province of the Ming Dynasty to seek political protection, and sent an envoy to Daqin for help.
