Nanjing, Taiji Palace, Zhu Di was busy all morning, discussing government affairs with his courtiers, seeing that the early dynasty should have dispersed, so he prepared to abandon the early dynasty and make the civil and military officials return to their original positions.

"Report, eight hundred miles urgent!"

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"

The voice of the little eunuch went from Zhengyangmen all the way across the Wulong Bridge and went straight to the Taiji Palace.

Zhu Di stopped.

"Your Majesty, Annan is in a hurry for eight hundred miles, good news, Your Majesty!" Wang Zhen came in from outside the hall, and when he crossed the threshold, he was not careful, and almost fell into a.

Everyone's attention was attracted by Annan's good news, but no one pursued his sin of dereliction in front of the palace.

"Your Majesty, the army of the three highnesses arrived in Annam, captured Zhiling Mountain, and has surrounded Li Li, and at the same time defeated the combined forces of Zhan and Ailao. The messenger is already on his way to Daming. ”

Zhu Di heard that Longyan was happy, his favorite thing was to expand the territory, surround Li Li, and it was a matter of time before Li Li was taken, and the people were annexed, although it was a vassal country. But the Emperor Ming Zuxun also said that the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to make the order, the land of the Ming Dynasty is almost over, and those who do not belong to the people do not want it, and it is also a great joy to be able to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Jian Yixin sighed, this Chen Yuan, who came from behind, is his daughter - he took the lead and said loudly: "Great tomorrow, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

Yang Shiqi is in the most complicated mood, he opposes sending troops to Annan, and now the problems are resolved one by one, and his face is gloomy. But his heart is above board, Chen Yuan's victory is the victory of Daming, and he is indeed happy.

And Liu Guan is secretly unhappy, this cloth-clothed prime minister, if he comes back with meritorious service, is there still a place for them?

"Great tomorrow, long live my emperor, long live long live." No matter what they thought, the ministers all knelt down and shouted.

After Zhu Di watched the recital, he couldn't suppress his excitement, in the past few years, it has been bad news from Annan. Moving the capital, civil strife, famine, the battle of the prince, one by one, there is no worry-free thing, this victory of Annan, let him regain the heroism of the year, he was pleased to say: "Reward, front-line soldiers, reward millions, three thousand urns of wine, Chen Yuan's command is measured, the merit is indispensable, the four grades of the Lu, and then give the servant twenty, his mother teaches the son in a good way, reward the seven products of the order, Yang Pu to stabilize the people's hearts, the merit is significant, so that for Jiaozhi Cheng to announce the political envoy division, governance of Annam, Yu Qian is courageous, raise the majesty of the country, for the deputy of Jiaozhi to announce the political envoy, assist Yang Pu. The rest of the meritorious officers will be promoted to two levels, and when the war in Annam is over, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds! ”

"My Emperor Shengming!"

"Hateful!" Ma'anshan, Li Yunlong stuck the knife on the ground, and said angrily, "It's this Chen Yuan again, he can't pinch it, how can he command the Ming army, obviously the main force is in Luoshui, but the main attack is in Zhiling Mountain." Obviously, he took Zhiling Mountain, and sent people to ambush in Zhileng. ”

"Brother, your injury-"

Li Yunlong glanced at his arm, he was stabbed when he ran away just now, he had already wrapped it in a cloth, and his face was disgraced: "I'm fine, sister, what should I do now?" ”

"This Lu Wenlu is a pig, an arrogant pig." Li Yuyi hated and said, "I reminded him many times, the Ming army is unfathomable, he just doesn't listen, heh, the army is like his own home, good wine, food and beautiful women, his failure is inevitable, I don't know how the king of Ailao would believe in this kind of person." ”

"The coalition army of tens of thousands of people was defeated by a few thousand Ming troops. There were also 7,000 prisoners, and there were not so many Ming troops in ambush, this group of waste. Li Yuyi gritted his teeth, hated them for not being angry, and was even more worried about his father's situation.

Li Yunlong was silent.

Li Yuyi thought of Lu Wenlu's previous treatment of himself, and he was disgusted, even if he was dead, he still had goosebumps. She finally shook off her disgust for him, and mused, "Now, we have to go to the mourning prison to ask for reinforcements. There are tens of thousands of mourning troops, but now they are only a few thousand, and there is still the strength of a battle, so we will go to mourning quickly. ”

"Okay." Li Yunlong replied, and the two fast horses galloped away.

After the occupation was annexed, Zhu Gaosui, at the suggestion of Chen Yuan, was not in a hurry to attack Lê Li, but only surrounded it and began to formulate a series of reform measures in Annam.

Because the Ming army captured Annam in the past, "torture and abuse of the government, and lost the support of the people for a long time." "It needs to be abolished in order to clear the political climate.

On the military front, they won several victories, absorbed many of Annam's troops, and decided to disarm, leaving some for defense and the rest for farming. The whole army was divided into five divisions, leaving only one on duty, and the remaining four divisions were returned to the peasants and carried out in turn.

At the same time, because most of Annan's troops were wealthy and homeless, and military discipline was lax, he managed it quite strictly. The "Ten Articles of the Military Constitution" were issued, which the sergeants must abide by, and the contents were: 1. Noise in the army; 2. False alarms in the army, vain talk of good and bad fortune, in order to shake the military situation; 3. Hearing the sound of drums in battle, seeing the flag and pretending not to hear it, and not being amused; Fourth, when you see the flag of the army, you will hear the gong of the army; Fifth, smell the cymbals of the retreating army and do not retreat; Sixth, the prevention of direct is not diligent, or the sleep is not kept, leaving the army and sneaking back; 7. Confusing women, privately releasing their wives and parties, and not serving in the military; 8. Selling and releasing military personnel and shadowing without military status; 9. Reversing people's merits and demerits with personal likes and dislikes; 10. Discord with the people, treachery and theft.

The above ten articles shall be beheaded by the offender.

In terms of education, schools were set up in local prefectures and roads to teach Confucianism. To order local governments to participate in the imperial examination, civil and military officials must pass scientific examinations, civil officials must take examinations for classics, and military attaches must take examinations for martial arts in order to recruit talents. Buddhists and Taoists must also pass the classical examination of their own religion, and those who pass can become monks or Taoist priests, and those who fail to pass will be ordered to return to the world.

In terms of land, following the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the law of equalizing land was established to alleviate the inequality between the rich and the poor; In view of the fact that the wealthy clan occupied too much land, the law of equalizing land was enacted, and the public land was distributed to the officials from the top to the old, the weak, and the widowed, so as to alleviate the phenomenon of disparity between the rich and the poor, so that people of all walks of life had land to cultivate.

These reforms were supported by the people of Annam, and the ordinary wealthy families were not very resistant. Yu Qian enforced the law fairly, and Chen Yuan also personally worked in the fields, infecting the people of Annan.

Annam has been fighting for many years, and the people in almost all parts of the country are living in poverty, and the land is barren. On the one hand, Chen Yuan suggested that Zhu Gaosui order to buy seeds from nearby countries and distribute them to the people for cultivation, and at the same time suggested that Zhu Gaosui go to the imperial court and ask for tax reduction, and Zhu Di of course agreed one by one.

In this way, three months passed, Li Li was surrounded and depressed, and tried to break through many times, but was killed by the Ming army. The food in the city gradually decreased, Li Li looted the people, and the people of the Blue Mountains complained and began to miss the Ming army.

As far as the people are concerned, they don't care who rules when they have food to eat and land to cultivate.

Since then, there have been people quietly fleeing from the Blue Mountain, Li Li was furious, strictly controlled the people, found that the escape was punished with capital punishment, extremely cruel, and then shown to the public.

The harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and it is death in the city, and there may be a way out when you go out. Some civilians and soldiers continued to flee and return to the Ming army.

The Ming army was not to blame for the past, and gave preferential treatment one by one.

Another month passed, and there were less than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city. People's hearts are scattered, Li Li is suspicious by nature, he has killed red eyes, loss, irritability, and jealousy, all of which come to his heart, his subordinates, if they are a little uncomfortable, they will be slashed by him irritablely, and some people are chopped into pulp, even Chen Yuanfang, who has made significant contributions, was also killed by him, he no longer trusts anyone, and the terrifying atmosphere has been shrouded in Blue Mountain City.

Chen Yuan waited for a long time that the decisive battle had come.
