(There is another chapter in the evening)

Outside the north gate of the capital, in the ten-mile long pavilion, Lian Zining is bidding farewell to his family.

Today is November 13, and half a month has passed since Lian Zining got married.

At this time, it is already late autumn, and it is about to enter winter, and it is a deep and distant dry yellow, and the sky is high and the clouds are light, adding a desolation. The bleak autumn wind blows on people, bringing endless meanings.

A lot has happened in these days.

State affairs, family affairs, military affairs.

Liu Liangchen came back from Shandong, bringing back 20,000 big guns, 10,000 halberds, in addition, there are 100,000 catties of fine copper, 200,000 catties of pig iron with high purity in this era, this big purchase, almost emptied the warehouse of the Liu family in Shandong. And these are just part of it, more spears and halberds, more copper and iron, will be forged and transported to the extreme north of the Songhua River through the extensive transportation network of Lianjia's big car shops.

As for Lian Zining's proposal for the Liu family to establish a branch workshop in Xishenwei, Liu Huateng was also very interested, and these businessmen in the land of the six counties had gained too many benefits from Lian Zining, and they made money and made soft money, so they had an almost blind sense of trust in Lian Zining. This is especially true of him. After some consideration, he sent his most powerful eldest son Liu Fusheng, with more than a dozen capable account keepers, dozens of masters, and two or three hundred men, to the capital with Liu Liangchen, ready to follow Wu Yibo's army to Xishenwei and establish a workshop.

Wang Dachun's errand was also done, Wu Yibo made great contributions, got a high position, and just married the daughter of the left servant of the military department, which is in full swing. No one wants to offend such an authoritative person, so it seems to be extraordinarily smooth. After Wang Dachun's soft grinding and hard bubbles for these days, plus giving a lot of benefits, he finally got the silver, but 800,000 taels also shrank to 600,000 taels. For this case. Lian Zining is also helpless, in fact, it is good to be able to do this step. If it weren't for him in the back, let alone how much it could fall, this silver wouldn't have been able to come down in a year and a half!

The matter of the industrial zone has also come to an eyebrow.

Emperor Zhengde, who has always liked new things, is very concerned about this matter. convened the Ministry of War to discuss one after another, and the Ministry of Works, Master Pan Jitao, was also quite interested, and soon, the Ministry of Industry came up with a charter.

In the end, it was decided that the Ministry of Industry would establish a Mining Supervision Bureau in Xishenwei. The Bureau of Mines Supervision is being appointed by a member of the Ministry of Works. Responsible for mineral mining, smelting, casting and other matters on the ground of Xishenwei. During this period of time, the Ministry of Industry requisitioned 3,000 craftsmen from Beijing, Tianjin, Beizhili and other places under its jurisdiction to bring their families with them. Follow the soon-to-be-appointed Minister of the Ministry of Mines, Lord Wailang, and go to Xishenwei together.

They. will also walk with Lian Zining.

Lian Zining had already sent someone back the news before returning to Beijing. The workshops under the Lian's chaebol have begun to manufacture a large number of lead bullets, which were originally considered an errand of the Ordnance Bureau, and the people are not allowed to make them privately, but the lead bullet alone is not a big deal.

In the past few months, the number of lead bullets cast has reached 5 million, and the average number of each flintlock pistol is about 2,000, and these lead bullets, if there is no protracted war, it is absolutely no problem to support them for a year and a half.

The untouchables who were originally planned to be transferred to Lian Zining have also organized local officials to relocate, but considering that these 1.5 million untouchables are all from the south of the Yangtze River and are not accustomed to the water and soil of the north, and now that it is winter, the bitter cold land in the northeast, if they go like this, I am afraid that most of them will freeze to death. And this trip to Xishenwei, there are many difficulties along the way, there are endless bandits and bandits, and it is also very unsafe. Lian Zining was going to take them to the north to develop the Great Northeast, but he didn't want them to be killed and frozen to death halfway.

After some discussion, it was decided that these untouchables should be ready to relocate first, and then move after the beginning of spring next year, when the weather warms up, and then they will be able to relocate.

In addition to military affairs, many major events have also happened in the country.

One of the first major events that shocked the government and the opposition was that Annanbu was the political envoy again.

Annam, that is, Vietnam in later generations, has always been a vassal of the Central Plains Dynasty, and Guyue has been a Chinese territory since the Qin Dynasty, and was called Baiyue at that time. The First Emperor sent an army of 500,000 to conquer Baiyue in the south, pacified Lingnan, and completely incorporated this piece into the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty. For more than 1,000 years, the Central Plains Dynasty maintained control over Annam, setting up administrative districts, just like other places. Including the word Annam, it is derived from China, which was in the early Tang Dynasty, when Vietnam was under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of Annam, China. Later, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and Annam rebelled and split from China. After that, the Northern Song Dynasty was weak and unable to conquer, so it had to sit idly by.

However, although Annan was divided, due to the common phenomenon of people worshipping and obeying the strong from the heart formed under the special geopolitics of East Asia, they were still more obedient to the Central Plains Dynasty, and the tribute was never broken, that is, the king of the dynasty changed, and it must be recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty to be legally effective. Therefore, Annam has always been a vassal state of China, and later the Yuan Dynasty sent a large army to conquer Annam, and the invincible Mongol cavalry planted a big heel in the jungle in the south, and finally failed.

Daming had a lot of dealings with Annan.

And Daming's dealings with Annan basically run through one person.

British Gong Zhang Fu.

In the third year of Yongle, Zhang Fujin was the marquis of Xincheng. In the fourth year of Yongle, he marched into Annam with the right deputy general from the Zhengyi general Zhu Neng. On the way, Zhu Nengshu, Zhang Fusheng Zhengyi general, led the people from Guangxi Pingxiang to march, and the left deputy general Mu Sheng joined forces to attack the city of Duobang, because of the painting of the lion and the impact of the horse, and the use of magic machine firearms to break the defender's elephant array, and take advantage of the victory of Kedongdu, which is the Hanoi and Western capital of later generations, that is, the Qinghua of later generations. In the fifth year of Yongle, he defeated more than 2 million soldiers of the whole country of Annan (7 million in the history of the Ming Dynasty) in Mumaru River, Fuliang River and other places, captured Li Ji, the emperor of Annan, and changed Annan to Jiaoluan. As a result, Annan Dading, 48 prefectures, 182 counties, and 3.12 million households. Nearly 20 million. In six years, the brigade returned to the division and entered the British duke. In the seventh year, Annan rebelled again, Chen Jikuo proclaimed himself the Emperor of Dayue, and Zhang Fu led the army to attack Annan with the general of Zhengqing. In the deep mountains of Geely, he pursued the Emperor Jian Ding of Dayue and forced the Emperor of Dayue, Chen Jikuo, to surrender. Yongle eight-year class teacher, training Xuanfu, Wanquan, supervising the northern expedition. In the ninth year, he joined forces with Mu Sheng to attack Chen Jikuo, who had resurrected from the pseudo-surrender. Defeated defenders in Yuechangjiang. In the twelfth year, Chen Jikuo was captured, and he was a teacher. In the thirteenth year, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the army to quell the rebellion of Chen Ji's expansion of the rest of the army. He was recalled in the winter of the fourteenth year.

Zhang Fu successively went to Jiaolu. Prestige and far-reaching earthquakes.

But even such a fierce general can't handle those anti-bone boys.

Just a withdrawal of troops. Annan reversed again......

Then there was another suppression, another rebellion, and after more than ten years, hundreds of thousands of elite and brave soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fell into the big mud pit of Annan and could not get out. Tens of thousands of soldiers die in battle every year. Every year, the money, food, and military salaries shipped to Annam are innumerable. Just like the Vietnam War in later generations, the Ming Dynasty was mired in the Annam War and could not struggle. It has brought a great burden to the court and the people.

After the Ming army several times unfavorable, Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji focused on Wenzhi, like his father, he was very new to civil officials, tired of years of war, Yang Shiqi and other ministers took the opportunity to speak, Xuanzong was extremely short-sighted and decided to strike the army, Zhao Shang in Annan Wang Tong and others led an army of more than 80,000 people to return to the north, and dismissed the political envoys, and Annan was once again separated from the Chinese territory as a vassal state of China.

It stands to reason that this is the case, the Ming Dynasty and Annan are fine, you send envoys to pay tribute, I will give you the name, the Ming Dynasty has gained face, and Annan has benefited, so since the Xuande Dynasty for so many years, there has been no major war.

But there are people who make waves, in the forty-ninth year of Zhengde, the thirteenth king of the Nguyen dynasty of Annam, Nguyen Quang Zan, proclaimed himself Emperor Da Viet.

How could Zhengde endure this, and immediately sent Mu Guogong, who was guarding Yunnan, to lead the Yunnan army and more than 200,000 troops in Guangxi to conquer Annan, as more than 100 years ago, under the army of the Ming Dynasty, all the way like a bamboo, and soon occupied the entire territory of Annan. Zhengda, like Yongle, is a little bit of a great achievement, and does not want to continue to regard Annan as a vassal state, but is ready to change it to a political envoy.

Therefore, the imperial court established the Annan Political Envoy Department and set up the management of the Liuguan, and in order to appease the locals, many officials, including the three-in-command right senator of the Political Envoy Division, were all served by Annan people.

As soon as he left, those local officials carried out the banner of reviving the Ruan dynasty, killed the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty and raised their banners again.

The emperor was furious, and repeatedly issued orders to reprimand, reproaching Mu Guogong for his ineffective suppression of bandits, and making him guilty and meritorious service, leading the army to go out again......

The battle has been going on for some time, but this time it was particularly difficult compared to the last time.

The Ming army was surprised to find that the Annan army, which was short of materials and backward weapons in the past, had become well-equipped and had sufficient supplies, and even the war and march had become orderly.

There is no doubt that the re-rebellion of the political envoy of Annam is inseparable from the three major countries on the Indochina Peninsula, the Khmer Kingdom, the Angkor Kingdom, and the Siam Kingdom.

These neighbors of the Ming Dynasty are not weak, just the Angkor Dynasty at this time, there are 300,000 infantry, 50,000 cavalry, 50,000 elephants, and thousands of war elephants.

This is the war in the south, and as winter approaches, the cold winter on the grassland has come, and as soon as the winter on the grassland comes, the catastrophe in the north of the Ming Dynasty will come again.

Every winter, a large number of cattle and sheep on the grassland freeze to death, the shortage of materials, in order to survive, located in the Eastern Mongolian steppe and located in the West Mongolian steppe, as well as located in the northern Liaobei steppe Tainingwei and Duoyanwei, is to send a large army to invade the grass valley in the south, plundering the Ming people, property, women, gold silk, grain, etc., everything that can be plundered.

The only exception is Fu Yuwei, they have already had many herdsmen who have switched to farming, plus they first plundered the Ming Dynasty, and then plundered the Jurchens, accumulating a lot of wealth, and then Lian Zining secretly traded with them, but they were not afraid that they would not be able to survive the harsh winter.

West to Suzhou, east to Xuanfu, Datong, nine border towns, wolf smoke everywhere, wars are frequent.

And located in the westernmost part of the Ming Dynasty, west to Jiayuguan 1,900 miles, guarding the border of the Ming Dynasty, Hamiwei, also faintly has an unstable atmosphere.

This coming cold winter is an out-and-out eventful winter.

At this time, Lian Zining also had to lead people north.

He had to rush back before the snow fell, otherwise the snow would close the mountains and roads, and it would be difficult to move an inch in the northeast.

The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry and Liu Huateng were in the middle, and the cavalry brought by Lian Zining and the two hundred cavalry of Tang Yidao roamed around the periphery as protection. The huge queue has slowly started, and Lian Zining is saying goodbye to his family.

The husband returned to the north, and Qinglan took several concubines who had been accepted into the room by Lian Zining to send them off.

Newlywed Yan'er, the best time to mix oil in honey, these days, unless there is a particularly important business, he and Qinglan are basically together, and the best thing in the world is no more than a thrush. After all these days of hard work, Qinglan has also undergone some changes, she is still so gentle and lovely, but her face has faded away from the green, with a little charm and luster of a young woman.

Qinglan is naturally very reluctant to be separated when she gets married, but after all, she is the eldest woman, the lady of the main house, and as soon as Lian Zining leaves, she is the backbone of the whole family! Although I don't know how many times I cried secretly, my face was still calm and peaceful.

Lian Zining's eyes swept over Xiaoqing, Kang Su, Kang Ling, and Qinglan one by one, except for Qinglan, several women were sad, but they still had to force their faces to laugh, which made people feel distressed.

"Master, fight well on the front line, make a good living, don't worry about your family." Qinglan stepped forward to straighten Lian Zining's collar and said with a smile.

"Hmmm! I know your ability, these days, the family has been in charge and in an orderly manner, thanks to you. Lian Zining gently clenched her little hand.

On the second day of the wedding, Lian Zining took her back to the presidential palace in Jingnan Daying, where it was their real home. Qinglan really has a very good set, the affairs of the house are arranged very properly, and she is also very tolerant of Kang Su's daughters, and even offered to let Lian Zining accept them as concubines.

"What the master said, this is what I should do." Qing Lan explained to Amber who was standing aside: "Amber, the master will hand it over to you." ”

Amber said, "Madam, please rest assured! ”

I went to Xishenwei, and I don't know how long it will take to come back, there is no one around Lian Zining to serve, and the wives and concubines are not very relieved, and Lian Zining is a big man with strong blood, there is always a need, right? It's impossible to let him do it! There must always be someone to serve, so this errand undoubtedly fell on Amber, who had followed Lian Zining for the longest time and was born as a big girl by his side.

Several other people are very envious, especially Xiaoqing, because of her young age, Lian Zining has not broken the melon for her, and her heart is even more unbalanced.

"I'm leaving!"

Lian Zining gritted his teeth, endured the love of this child, turned around and got on the horse, lifted the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Go!" ”

Amber also got into a light cart, and the carriage drove away to the sound of the groom.

Lian Zining was surrounded by dozens of guards and went north.

As soon as he left, Qinglan and several beautiful wives and concubines finally couldn't help but wet their clothes with tears that they had endured for a long time......
