Chapter 614: How to Deal with the Aftermath II

Wang Yangming said: "The influence of the Thanh Hoa family in Annam is all-round, and there are connections in the army, the government, and the locality. And if His Highness exiles all the remnants of the Mo clan, I'm afraid that the Shenglong side will not be able to suppress the Qinghua side. ”

Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "Why didn't I think of this. But he was unwilling to let Zhu Houhuang give up immigrating from Annan.

However, in the future, Annan will be a populous country, but this is not the case with Annan now.

Now Annan is under dozens of wars, although there is still enough population preserved, it is not as overcrowded as the Ming Dynasty, so that Jiajing blocked the matter of Dongyong immigration, and the southeast coast risked death to go to sea and come to Dongyong to beg for a living, there is still an endless stream.

Wang Yangming said: "Your Highness, the wolf soldiers cholera Annan has caused displaced people to rise everywhere, and it may be used by His Highness." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "How many displaced people are there in Annan? ”

Wang Yangming said: "The specific number, the minister does not know. However, in the area south of Thang Long, there are tens of thousands of them. ”

"Okay." Zhu Houhuang will not let go of any opportunity to increase the population of Dongyong.

"Migrating the population is the first thing, and the orphan will let Liu Laodao cooperate with Master Wang." Zhu Houhuang said.

Zhu Houhuang said: "However, what should Annan do, and ask Master Wang to teach me?" ”

Wang Yangming was selected by Zhu Houhuang as the minister of Annan.

Although it is called Xiang, it is in charge of all affairs of Annan. It's just that whether you can manage it or not is another matter.

For various reasons, Zhu Houhuang could not abolish the position of the Li family, and the situation in Dongyong was extremely complicated, except for Wang Yangming, Zhu Houhuang did not know who to send to take charge of the overall situation of Annan.

Annam is the richest territory in Dongyong, and even the wealth of Annam is still above Dongyong. Therefore, whether or not Annan can be used well is very important to Dongyong.

Wang Yangming already had a draft in his heart, and said: "The minister thinks that Thang Long has been the capital of Annam for a long time, and he should inherit the old system, and still use Thang Long as the place to govern and implement the Battle of Thang Long. Near Thang Long, several months of conquest, mostly white land, can be rewarded for military merits, this ownerless field, reward Annan soldiers. ”

Wang Yangming emphasized that Annan soldiers were because Dongyong soldiers already had this kind of treatment. And the so-called Annan soldiers probably also include the Qinghua army. Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but say: "Okay, why didn't you think of it?" ”

Zhu Houhuang understood Wang Yangming's thoughts, Wang Yangming asked Zhu Houhuang to buy the military heart, only the military heart is in hand, even if there is a mistake in political affairs, he can turn it over. And Zhu Houhuang also figured out another meaning, that is, to divide the strength of the Qinghua family.

The reason why the Qinghua family is feared by Zhu Houhuang is because the Qinghua family has soldiers and horses.

And arranging the fields where the Thanh Hoa army was rewarded near Thang Long invisibly allowed the Thanh Hoa soldiers to migrate to Thang Long, so that the connection between the Thanh Hoa army and Thanh Hoa was not so close. In the long run, these soldiers may not be of the same mind as those Qinghua officers.

"The minister thinks that when the officials of Thang Long are promoted, let the officials of Thang Long have their own line in the court." Wang Yangming said. "This has just been said to His Highness."

Zhu Houhuang nodded.

Wang Yangming said: "There is also a talk with Shen Xiyi. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone also wants to talk to Shen Xiyi, it seems that Shen Xiyi is very afraid of contacting us. ”

At Zhu Houhuang's suggestion, Wu Fengyi had already sent a lot of people to Shen Xiyi to talk about the truce between the two sides, but he never connected to the head, or Shen Xiyi did not take this head at all.

Wang Yangming said: "Your Highness, it is the thorn in the eye of Beijing, and he is a military attache who naturally does not dare to contact His Highness, but if he does not contact His Highness, it does not mean that he cannot talk." The minister thought that just as we were jealous of him, he was jealous of us, and the minister meant to talk to the Tusi in Hebei. ”

Zhu Houhuang understood a little, this is a method of indirect contact.

"However, all of the above are all strategies to stabilize Annan, what the minister does in Annan depends on how His Royal Highness arranges for Annan, and in the future, Annan must be turned into a prefecture and county, or retain the position of the king of Annan, and let Annan become a vassal state of Dongyong."

Zhu Houhuang didn't know which choice was better for a while, and he asked, "Master Wang thinks that choice is better." ”

Wang Yangming said: "Your Highness, when you make that choice, you should not only look at Annan, but also look at the overall situation. ”

Zhu Houhuang's heart moved, the overall situation. What is the overall situation, Dongyong's great expansion in the South Seas is the overall situation.

Francophone withdrew from Nanyang, Nanyang no longer has a force that can confront Dongyong, even if it is Islam, it is just a hidden danger, and now Dongyong wants to expand, there is a feeling that the teacher is nameless, these small countries are very obedient, and the unprovoked destruction of the country is morally unjustifiable.

Of course, it is just a moral issue, and Zhu Houhuang doesn't have to worry about it now.

There are countless small countries in the South Seas, and individually, even if they are not Dongyong's opponents, but if they unite with each other, Dongyong will immediately face a big chaos. And although these countries admire the Ming Dynasty and respect Dongyong, it does not mean that they will not resist when they are destroyed. Zhu Houhuang certainly wants to operate the place where Nanyang is the foundation, but there are some things that have to be considered, that is, the development status of Nanyang, many places are deep mountains and old forests, and the degree of development is lacking.

The reality of the situation made Zhu Houhuang not very interested in destroying all the countries in the South Seas and unifying the South Seas.

Therefore, Zhu Houhuang wanted to find a system that could allow all countries to follow with peace of mind and allow Zhu Houhuang to call on the manpower and force of various countries, just as the Anxi Festival in the Tang Dynasty enabled the mobilization of the troops of many small affiliated countries.

Zhu Houhuang felt that this kind of appointment of state ministers, like the system of princes and kings of the Han Dynasty, seemed to be good.

So whether Annan annexed or not doesn't seem to be that important anymore.

It is important to establish such a system that allows the countries of the South Seas to use for themselves. Zhu Houhuang said: "Naturally, Annan will become a vassal state of Dongyong. ”

Wang Yangming said: "Then the minister hopes that His Royal Highness can do it, the first marriage." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "In the lonely harem, there is already the daughter of the Li family. ”

Wang Yangming said: "Second, within three years, Annan will not be used. ”

Zhu Houhuang couldn't help frowning and said, "Master Wang, isn't this good?" ”

Wang Yangming said: "Is Your Highness short of money? ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lack of money. ”

Zhu Houhuang is telling the truth, as the person in charge of a country, Zhu Houhuang feels that money is needed everywhere and people are needed everywhere. So he felt that he was short of people everywhere, and he was short of money everywhere. Dongyong's finances, coupled with trade with Goa, finally allowed Zhu Houhuang's finances to have some surplus. However, the war in Annam involved a large amount of financial expenditure, and then the construction of Star City. It all costs a lot of money.

Now Zhu Houhuang can say that he can spend whatever money he is given.

Lack of money is Zhu Houhuang's eternal topic.

Wang Yangming said: "The minister thinks that although His Royal Highness is short of money, but what he lacks is not a small amount of money, and what His Royal Highness Annan lacks most is the hearts of the people. ”

Zhu Houhuang was moved, but another reason was that Annan had no money.

That's right, it's that Annan has no money, and the decades-long war has just ended, so it can be said that everything is in ruins. Wang Yangming knew Annan's family background, and after this war, Annan's savings were all in vain. Annan's originally abundant food reserves have also been consumed. Wang Yangming asked Zhu Houhuang not to collect it from Annan for at least three years, which was to buy people's hearts, and it was also the money that Annan would get unless he scraped it on a large scale and deeply.

Zhu Houhuang said: "How to buy people's hearts? ”

Wang Yangming said: "All money and food in this year's war zone will be exempted. Rest with the people. Recuperate. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Not bad. Anything else? ”

Wang Yangming said: "Open the imperial examination, search for Annan scholars, and transfer Annan officials to serve in Dongyong, such as Zheng Sui. It can also supplement Dongyong's talent gap. ”

For the bureaucrats, whoever promotes them will win their loyalty, and only they have a better future in Dongyong. They will all remain loyal to Dongyong.
