As Li Dongdong said, Liu Chengfeng suddenly opened his mouth, but he frowned again, glanced at Li Dongdong, and said: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, but will the barbarians be willing to give us time to ask for the second county of Wenshan?" ”

Liu Chengfeng is not a fool, the two counties have been occupied by the Annan people for so many years, will people be willing to give them up obediently? If you want to get it back, you can only use force, but if you really want to use force, I'm afraid that it won't be too late. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Dongdong looked at Liu Chengfeng and said: "So you have to hold the time, my lord, there are many people in the country of Annan, and they must not be taken step by step, if they are students, the best way is to give them a surprise attack, and then retreat, they must not fall into a stalemate, otherwise even if they win, it will be a tragic victory." ”

Li Dongdong actually even thought about the basic policy of the war, but his words do make sense, Annan is close to the border of the Ming Dynasty, the mountains are continuous, the terrain is very complicated, and the people of Annam are strong, if they fall into a fierce battle, it is not cost-effective for the Ming Dynasty, after all, they are the home field, occupy the geographical advantage, and there are people and factors, if they really want to fight a war of attrition, the Ming may not be able to afford it, which is the main reason for the failure of Emperor Wen's expedition to Vietnam.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the war is a big project for a 'superpower' like the Ming Dynasty, countless grains and grasses will be continuously transported from Jiangnan and Beijing, in addition, a large number of armor, ordnance, war horses, firearms, and artillery will also be lost in large quantities, a large number of people need to be recruited, and an army of 100,000 often needs 300,000 people to supply and support, and if the war lasts for one more day, it will need to consume a lot of manpower and financial resources.

For small countries, war is simple, because small countries do not even have a systematic military structure, and once a war starts, it is nothing more than immediately recruiting men and horses and issuing weapons to meet the war.

Although the armies of small countries are vulnerable to the regularized armies fed by the powerful and powerful forces of large countries, once they encounter small countries with relatively strong people, even if the war goes well, the gains outweigh the losses for the big countries.

Just like Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires in later generations, the British who were the world hegemon were defeated there, and the rampant Soviet Russia had to withdraw its troops after the occupation with absolute superiority, and the unprecedentedly powerful United States was also difficult to ride a tiger, and no matter how powerful it was, it would be dragged down.

Obviously, Annan is such a small country with strong people's customs, and the methods of war that Li Dongdong mentioned are indeed effective.

Li Dongdong immediately said: "My lord, according to the students, after a while, I am afraid that the Annan people will send envoys to contact the adults, and the adults will be in Lianzhou, and it is impossible for the Annan people not to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits, so according to the students' estimates, they will send envoys to Lianzhou, why don't you prepare quickly, and when the envoy arrives, expel his envoys, and make the Annan people make enemies with my Ming Dynasty, and then go to the imperial court, urge the governor of Guangxi to send troops, and seize the two counties of Fufu and Wenshan?" ”

After Li Dongdong finished speaking, he deliberately went to drink tea with a tea cup, his conversation with Liu Chengfeng was actually not pleasant, but it was very happy, in front of Liu Chengfeng, what did he say, and Li Dongdong knew that his words would be realized sooner or later in the hands of Liu Chengfeng, this is the ambition that Li Dongdong wants to show, use his own wisdom and his own talent to change others, and then change the world.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing: "Oh? Will the Annamites send emissaries? ”

Li Dongdong said: "The students are just guessing, but the ten ** will come, the people of Annan are greedy, and the other vassal states pay tribute once a year, but in the past few decades, Annan has sent three groups of envoys to Beijing to pay tribute. For nothing more than a reward from the imperial court. Now that the adults are rewarding in this Lianzhou, King Annam must have learned the news a long time ago, and they will come. ”

The tribute system of the vassal state and the Ming Dynasty, on the surface, is that the vassal states suffer losses, but in fact, they take advantage of a lot of cheapness, often after the tribute, the imperial court will give a very high reward, which is naturally a grace, on the other hand, it also has the meaning of ushering in the send-off.

Therefore, the vassal kingdoms are very willing to come to pay tribute, but it is a bit shameless to say that they are greedy for three trips a year like Annam, and it is not wrong to say that they are greedy.

Liu Chengfeng's deeds in Lianzhou are really a bit afraid that others don't know, he has been here for a few months, and the amount of money he has rewarded has exceeded tens of thousands, which will inevitably make people red, with the shameless surname of Wang Tian of Annan, maybe he will really send a messenger to come.

Liu Chengfeng felt reasonable, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Thank you for your advice, but how to treat their envoys, it's better to use my method." The journey of the gentleman is tiring, it is better to rest here in Benhou first, and then listen to the teachings of the gentleman. ”

Liu Chengfeng was much more polite to Li Dongdong's words, in fact, ordinary readers, Liu Chengfeng is not very eye-catching, but Li Dongdong is different, although he also has pedantic scholarly anger, but the four words should not be used on him. From the dialogue, Liu Chengfeng roughly figured out this person's ability, this person is very meticulous and serious, and it can be seen from his understanding of the contradiction between the barbarian's surname Xi and the Han barbarian, he is a very meticulous person. In addition, this person's vision is very far-sighted, and this vision refers to the perspective from which others are drilling the horns of the bull, but he can see the overall situation at a glance and look at the problem from a higher standpoint.

Even Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but admire him, Li Gelao's family was really unusual.

Li Dongdong knew that Liu Chengfeng still had to digest his words well, but he was not polite, and said, "Then there will be work." ”

Li Dongdong didn't mention the matter of being a guest of the curtain, and Liu Chengfeng obviously didn't put forward the intention of soliciting, many things are all in plain sight, Liu Chengfeng arranged for him to live in the line for a while, and he began to think about it, Li Dongdong's words make sense, but it's not so easy to do, Lianzhou City seems to calm down all of a sudden, as long as Liu Chengfeng doesn't toss, naturally there is no trouble to make a moth, now Liu Chengfeng's prestige in Lianzhou has reached its peak, and the civil and military officials of Lianzhou are all the only ones who obey Liu Chengfeng's orders, Liu Chengfeng's orders can be carried out quickly.

Just like the construction of the Hou Mansion, now that the construction has begun, the major yamen have made a lot of efforts, and there are even thousands of military households who want to let the military households below to help, but this kindness, Liu Chengfeng only understands it, the project of the Hou Mansion is really not small, and there are many people who are used, but fortunately, Liu Chengfeng is willing to pay for the work, but it also gives many idle people more opportunities to support their families.

On the one hand, there is no such large land in the city, and the requisition of private houses will inevitably cause public resentment, and it is better for the surname Suo to be built outside the city. These need to be purchased outside, and when the time comes, there will definitely be some people around the Hou Mansion to do business, and slowly a market will be gathered, and there will be people in the market, and the city of Lianzhou is too small, so it is good to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the scale of the city.

In addition to building the Hou Mansion, Liu Chengfeng also plans to build a road, this road leads straight from the Hou Mansion to the Fu City, which can not only provide some convenience to the Hou Mansion, but also promote the prosperity of Lianzhou.

The mansion is being built, the road is being built, a large number of craftsmen and people are collected, and the wages are paid every month, which is actually a lot of prosperity in Lianzhou, after all, people have wages, it is inevitable to spend, spend more, it is good for the shops, the shops want to buy, there will naturally be merchants with goods in, for a while, businessmen, craftsmen like clouds, so that Lianzhou people see a trace of long-lost changes.

In Guilin, Chen Yao also began to make moves, under the banner that the Jingjiang palace did not conform to the ancestral laws and regulations, he actually had the audacity to ask the messenger to tear down a wall of the palace, and ordered the palace to start rebuilding the county palace within three days, and no longer use the prince's specifications. The Jingjiang Wangfu has been forced to the point of exhaustion, and has to sell a large number of granges, including tens of thousands of acres of granges in Lianzhou, which have also been purchased by Liu Chengfeng at a low price, and everyone knows that the Jingjiang Wang family, which has been in Guangxi for decades, is only afraid that it will fall at this time, although it has not completely declined, but it is difficult to reverse such a sharp downward trend.

The decline of King Jingjiang contrasts strongly with the strong rise of Hou Liu Chengfeng of Lianzhou, who sealed 10,000 households, with a high-rise building under construction and a building collapsing; One is like the middle of the sky, and the other is sharply down, which makes people look at it with a big surprise.

After a few days, Jingjiang Wangfu began to reduce a large number of palace guards, according to the Ming law, the feudal kings of the frontier are allowed to train guards, but the number of guards has a lot of regulations, after the battle of Jingjiang, the regulations have become more and more strict, Jingjiang Wangfu has a total of three guards, one guard is 3,000 people, the total number is 9,000, but 9,000 is the accounts on the surface, none of the vassal kings dare to be full, which will attract suspicion. So the real number of people is only about four or five thousand, it stands to reason that it is not a problem for King Jingjiang to maintain two guards, but now he can't even afford to raise his own people, where can he afford to raise any guards? All of a sudden, three or four thousand people were dismissed.

Although Liu Chengfeng is a marquis, but because of the fiefdom, after consultation with the Ministry of Rites, he finally discussed with the emperor and decided to give Liu Chengfeng a guard as the guard of the Hou Mansion.

Liu Chengfeng has the right to recruit 3,000 people, so as soon as the palace lays off people, Liu Chengfeng will contain all these people, and it is said that for this matter, King Jingjiang was so angry that he scolded again.
