readx;
Two months have passed since the expedition to the present day of the destruction of Thang Long. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info (/./. Update the latest chapter of this book) No one would have thought that things would be so dramatic, not to mention Yue Guo, even the sailor himself, and he felt that it was unbelievable.
Only a few days later, the letters of surrender from all over the country were passed over, and the big more up and down, the result was more acquaintances, and now that the Li family is finished, who is willing to go to the black with the surname Li?
Shen Ao was also refreshed, and he was kind enough to persuade those who surrendered, and he suddenly became a bodhisattva from a butcher, and all the officials from all over the country stayed in office, and the generals of each town also ordered them to guard the place.
Immediately, the edict of consolation was announced, which was nothing more than to investigate only the evil leaders, and the rest was not asked, so that all prefectures, counties, and towns should strictly abide by their duties and not make mistakes.
This edict, like an amnesty, made everyone breathe a sigh of relief; The situation in Da Viet eased in an instant. The Nanyang naval division was only stationed in Champa and Hue, but it was also peaceful.
Shen Ao lived in the Hue Palace, the Hue Palace is not small, and now it has become the center of the Nanyang Naval Division, from time to time there are generals in and out, to the fifteenth day, the sky is bright, Shen Ao has just changed his clothes, the spirit is good, and he heard a voice outside: "There is a holy decree." ”
Shen Ao hurriedly took the generals to kneel down, and it was an old eunuch who passed the will, and Shen Ao was actually not familiar with him, he came all the way, and at first he thought of Cham, and then he knew that the Nanyang Naval Division had taken Hue, what Hue City was, he didn't know, and then when he inquired, he knew that Thang Long had changed its name, which means obedience to naturalization.
Finally confessed his identity, arrived at the palace, saw that the king of Pingxi with the generals of the army set up the incense burner, the old eunuch's face was a little not good-looking, first cautiously glanced at Shen Ao, and then helplessly unfolded the holy decree, and said: "The system said: Shen Ao, the king of Pingxi, was entrusted by the emperor's order to lead the army to expedition to Dayue. ”
When all the generals heard this, they all thought in their hearts, it turned out that Your Majesty's holy decree was here to reward the three armies, and their hearts were very happy.
But Shen Ao felt that it was not a taste in his heart, he was an old fritter who received the holy decree, and in the past few years, there have been not a hundred or eighty holy decrees, Zhao Ji's temperament, what he likes most is to raise first or then suppress and then raise, often praise you a few words first, and then rarely scold, if you scold you in the front, maybe the words will change and say your benefits again. Hearing this, Shen Ao thought in his heart that there would definitely be no good words behind this holy decree.
Sure enough, the old eunuch's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said: "I obey the mandate of heaven, inherit the unification, civil and military officials, there are those who deceive the superiors and subordinates, and there are those who are greedy for merit......"
The more Shen Ao listened, the more he didn't taste it, and after he finished reciting this holy decree, he suddenly realized, oh, it turned out that he was actually cheating, he stood up, and the generals behind him squeezed their eyebrows one by one, and the old eunuch came over very squeezed, and said, "Your Highness......"
Shen Ao said: "You don't need to consol, if you scold, you will scold, you see, there are not a few scolding decrees today, things are scarce and precious, thousands of years later, it is said that the prohibition of this holy decree is worth a lot of money, this is the heirloom of my Shen family, and it will be passed on to all generations in the future." \.\.”
The old eunuch smiled wryly, and Shen Ao told him to give him a few taels of silver and sent him to rest first. After a short time, a lieutenant came over and said, "Your Highness, the hundred officials of the Yue Kingdom are already waiting in the Qinzheng Palace, please preside over the court meeting." ”
Today's court discussion was deliberately placed by Shen Ao, he nodded his chin and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The Qinzheng Hall is actually not big, so many people are standing in two shifts, it seems a little crowded, when Shen Ao presented, the Yue people bowed down one after another, and said together: "Your Highness is a thousand years old." ”
Shen Ao took his hand and went straight to the silver hall, and after sitting down, he asked someone to pour tea and came up, and said slowly: "The Li family is punished, this king is the prisoner of the country, if you have anything to say, say it together." ”
At that moment, a Yue minister said: "Your Royal Highness, since the Li family has been ambushed, the dragons of the Yue Kingdom have no leader, the Great Song Dynasty and the Heavenly Dynasty are in the upper state, and the subordinates are very admired, so the subordinates and others are together with the subordinates, please Your Highness to play His Majesty the Emperor Chen Dasong on his behalf, please Your Majesty set up the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, reset the counties and counties, and govern on your behalf." ”
Then many Yue ministers said together: "Please Your Highness to play Chen on your behalf, so as to go down to the country." ”
Shen Ao had revealed the intention of setting up the Annan Protectorate before, and today's court meeting was just to put this matter on the table. This matter, Shen Ao must not mention it blatantly, to mention, it is also mentioned by the Vietnamese people themselves, the starting point, please indicate if it is reprinted, Xi exchange and use, please do not use it for commercial purposes.
Shen Ao straightened his face and said with a slight anger: "What does this mean?" The Li family is lawless, trampling on the common people, and the army is reckless, so this king was ordered by Qin to lead the king to come, and now since the disaster of the Li family is removed for the Great Yue, how can it be that now, you Yue people themselves do not elect a virtuous monarch to recuperate, but let the Great Song Dynasty send officials to manage? Doing this, not only will the Great Song Dynasty be criticized, but there will also be people in the Yue Kingdom who are not convinced. This matter must not be mentioned again, and this king will resolutely forbid it. ”
Shen Ao said righteous words, and the more people listened to it, but where did they not understand? So everyone pleaded again and again.
Shen Ao was furious, slapped the case, and said, "What are these words?" The Great Song Dynasty sent officials to set up the capital protection mansion, how much silver did it cost every year? My Da Song is too busy to take care of himself, where can I take care of the internal affairs of your Yue people? ”
A Vietnamese human: "The Metropolitan Protectorate can collect taxes ......"
Shen Ao shook his head again and interrupted him: "This is even more unsuccessful, I don't know, I still have to peel the skin and knock the bones of my Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to discuss this matter again." ”
Shen Ao's attitude is very resolute, the more people just refuse, you pleaded a few words with me, Shen Ao was in a hurry, and said angrily: "If you don't get results, you can't succeed, even if you Yue people give this king five million silver, it will never be successful, it is not negotiable, who are you to be this king?" This king is here to eliminate violence and peace, and the affairs of your Yue people will naturally be handled by you Yue Ren on your own. ”
Five million taels of silver, just the amount of the Yue country's treasury, one is not much, one is a lot, the Yue people below scolded Shen Ao for being insatiable, and he stopped squeaking all of a sudden.
Shen Ao looked at it, why did he suddenly become cold! I screamed in my heart, is this play overdone? Or are these guys reluctant to cut their flesh? It seems that the Yue people are still a little shameful after all, and they also know that the asking price of five million taels of silver is a little higher.
Shen Ao coughed desperately a few times, seeing that everyone had no news, they all looked at themselves speechlessly, and they all looked at themselves speechlessly, with a posture that Lao Tzu would not play with you, if it went on like this, this illusion of 'persuasion' would not be able to continue. Fortunately, Shen Ao was thick-skinned, so he said shamelessly: "Actually...... This is not what this king actually means, it is the benefit of you giving this king four million taels of silver, this king...... This king will never do it. ”
It's so shameless, Shen Ao thought so in his heart, and his old face couldn't help but turn purple.
The Yue people below had news at this time, and finally someone squeaked and said: "Your Highness, the lower kingdom would rather give the silver away, and also ask Your Highness to play Chen on your behalf, so that the Celestial Empire can send the governor to govern Dayue." ”
Speaking of which, Shen Ao had to 'reluctantly' agree.
When he came out of the hall, Shen Ao took a deep breath and thought to himself, engaging in politics is really a very painful thing, and it is still a real thing.
The structure of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate, in fact, Shen Ao has already placed it, this Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, the authority is similar to that of the Taishang King, and the specific government affairs do not matter, but there is a right, so it is vetoed. In other words, the Vietnamese set up three provinces by themselves and can appoint officials on their own, but the power of the capital protectorate is also simple, that is, they can let the appointed officials get out. In addition, the Annan Army was established to control part of the ultra vires, and had the right to adjust tariffs at each port in Vietnam.
Although there were few rights, each of them firmly grasped the key points, the veto power controlled the political situation of the Yue State to a considerable extent, the military power protected the interests of trade, and tariffs became an important means for the Great Song Dynasty to further expand commerce. As for other rights, of course, it is the Yue people themselves to toss, which makes the Yue Guo even if the contradictions are stimulated, the spearhead of the Yue people will also point to the bureaucratic institutions of the Yue people, although the Great Song Dynasty will be affected, but it can always stay out of the matter, the so-called only anti-corrupt officials and not against the emperor, the Duhufu is the emperor, and the Yueren's own three provinces and six ministries are corrupt officials, if the Yue State provokes a civil uprising, it is not the matter of the Duhufu, but also the suppression of the Yue army itself, which makes the Duhufu more like the judge of the Yue people.
As for the duties of the Annam Army, it is said that it is to avoid foreign invasion, but in fact, the real purpose is only to control the Vietnamese army. To put it mildly, it is the benefits of letting the Metropolitan Protectorate occupy it, and the dirty water and bad things have nothing to do with the Metropolitan Protectorate.
The candidate for the Metropolitan Protectorate still needs to be submitted to the imperial court before making a decision, but Shen Ao believes that most of the court's choice is to pass the buck to each other, and finally kick the ball back to the Haizheng Yamen. The three provinces and six ministries have always been not very keen on maritime politics, and in addition, they let people go to the barbarian state to be officials, this is not exile? In the end, the result is a governor, and according to reason, at least an official of the fourth grade or above should be served, but whoever you appoint, people will have to hate you.
As an official, the emphasis is on peace and stability, the so-called moderation is like this, if you cheat people, will people not have wings, and they will have to fight with you when the time comes. The final result is very likely to send this hot potato to the Haizheng Yamen, in fact, it is for Shen Ao to take care of it himself.
It would be good to send the appointment and dismissal of this governor to Shen Ao. Since the princes in the court don't want to take care of it, Shen Ao knows that the Metropolitan Protectorate has a lot to do with it, and almost controls the people's livelihood of a vassal country.
Annan's control has strengthened the control of the Maritime Administration Yamen over the South Seas, which means that the life, death, honor and disgrace of the Nanyang countries are under the control of the Maritime Affairs Yamen.
However, a piece of news also fell on Shen Ao's desk, a large cannibal fleet wandered along the coast of Annan, they were originally going to rush to the aid of Zhancheng, but they never thought that the fall of Zhancheng was so fast, and they had no choice but to immediately shrink back, and now this fleet has encountered the most embarrassing situation, because Annan has fully fallen to the Great Song Dynasty, so that they have lost the port of supply, and a fleet that rushed to Annan has lost its supply, and the result is only doomed.
On the side of Zhancheng, the first fleet of gunboats in the South Seas has attacked, and after this fleet, it initiated an attack, and the technology of the big cannibal ships is actually not bad, but when it encounters gunboats, it immediately has the upper hand, and several naval battles have been lost, and at the end of the road, they have to choose to surrender.
The captives are still occupying the city, and after torture, the setting of this fleet has been clear, the starting point, please indicate for reprinting, Xi exchange use, please do not use it for commercial purposes.
This fleet was not sent by the Great Cannibal Lord, but an adventure organized by a well-set governor in the area.
Shen Ao must make a choice now, either to renegotiate with the big cannibal, or to completely make enemies with the big cannibal, if it is a negotiation, maybe you can get benefits, but for a long time, there is one more competitor in Nanyang, which is bad luck for Shen Ao's maritime politics, Shen Ao pondered for a moment, and finally gave an order: "Punish the crime." ”
The expedition to the Great Yue Country was almost to bully the weak as the strong, although before that, everyone couldn't see the strength of the Nanyang Naval Division, and they didn't expect the Yue people to be so unbearable. But in Shen Ao's heart, from the moment of the expedition, the outcome of this war was actually doomed, and doing so was not only to knock the mountain and shock the tiger, but also to deter the Nanyang vassal states, on the other hand, it also allowed the merchants to see an opportunity.
Shen Ao believes that in the near future, a new situation will emerge in the entire Nanyang, and the beginning of this situation will open up a new world for maritime politics.
