Chapter 191: Negotiating the Frontier T

It's really difficult to deal with this kind of person, you can't fight it, you can't drive it away, and you can't rush to agree to 9 Li's request, Zhu Jun coughed and said: "Li Aiqing, get up and talk, be careful of losing your honor in front of you." ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Li Wenjing kowtowed and bowed: "The lower country moves up and down, from the king Li to the Shengdou small people, the Ming Emperor has been blessed for a long time, the Li people are closely related to the Ming Dynasty, if the father and son are uncles and nephews, the Li family will send a tribute when the country is established, and His Majesty the Emperor Yongle will never conquer the country...

"Stop... The friendship with Annan was replaced by the friendship of the Li family, is this the problem? Zhu Jun didn't know much about the current form of Annan, and he felt even more strange when he heard Li Wenjing's tone, and said: "If the Li clan really belongs to the Ming Dynasty, he should explain the situation in Annan to me one by one, and he can't boast about it, let alone deliberately deceive it." ”

Li Wenjing's face turned red, and he was silent for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Weichen is ashamed, in fact, Annan is called the Li clan, but the north has been divided by the Mo clan for a hundred years...

Zhu Jun finally understood, it turned out that the situation in Annam now has to start from the Yongle period two hundred years ago, when Vietnam was ruled by the Li people, and the power was next to Ruo, and the powerful minister at that time was named Mo Dengyong, he killed Li Yan, the king of Annam, and set up his son to ascend the throne, and the following year Mo Dengyong forced his son to take the throne, and the Mo Dynasty was born.

After that, a batch of Lai. The old ministers of the dynasty supported a distant branch of the Li clan in Qinghua to ascend the throne, established the Hou Li and the Mo Dynasty to resist, and asked the Yongle Emperor for help, Yongle led the army to crusade against the Mo clan in Annam, the Mo clan had to abandon the country and flee, the Ming army that occupied the royal capital of Annam moved Annam to the county under the pretext that there was no royal family in Annam, all of a sudden, the Li Dynasty and the Mo clan who fled in the deep mountains only then understood that they had fought for a long time, but the tiger in the north was cheapened, and then the whole Annam was in turmoil, and the Ming army had to withdraw from Annam, Mo and Li took advantage of this opportunity to make a comeback, forming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, which lasted for a hundred years.

The Ming Dynasty was opposed to the withdrawal of Annam. Later, he let Annam go, the Mo Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are feuds, so naturally they will not send tribute, and the Li Dynasty is quite respectful of the Ming Dynasty, although it is located in South Vietnam, it is still called a minister, therefore, the Ming Dynasty has always regarded the Li clan as the orthodoxy of Annam, and enshrined it as the king of Annam, and promulgated the Golden Seal Appointment.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Mo Shi no. Respect the Heavenly Dynasty, and has been secretly colluding with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, once sent an envoy to the Manchus, willing to be a Manchu vassal, Li and Mo are incompatible, just like the Ming and Manchu Qing general, please Your Majesty after the capture of Guangxi, send a team of heavenly soldiers to the south, Li Shi will lead the army north to echo, under the two strikes, Mo will die. In this way, we can highlight the virtue and martial might of the Ming Dynasty, and those who follow the Ming will prosper, and those who oppose the Ming will die, please make it perfect for His Majesty the Emperor. Li Wenjing bowed his head and bowed again.

Cinnabar. Once the Ming army occupies Guangxi, then there is the Manchu Qing in the north and the Mo dynasty in the south, such a situation is easy for the Manchu Qing to collude with the Mo family, and the future defense of Guangxi is not good. Moreover, Li Wenjing's words also said to Zhu Jun's heart, those who follow the Ming Dynasty prosper, and those who oppose the Ming Dynasty die, and now the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty are competing for hegemony, and other vassal states are looking at the direction of the wind, if they can help the Li clan unify and eliminate the Mo Dynasty that is eye-to-eye with the Manchu Dynasty, it can suppress the speculation of many vassals, let them know the consequences of betraying the Ming Dynasty, and know who to stand with is advantageous.

The problem is that a unified Annan Yu Zhu. Jun didn't have much benefit, and the Li family was so worried about it, so they were so obedient to Daming, but once they settled down, who knows if they would have ambitions to go outside? Of course, Zhu Jun is not afraid of this small country now, but what about a hundred years later? You must know that Vietnam in later generations was extremely strong, dragging the French and the American army into the quagmire of war, and advanced weapons could not show their due power in their eyes, so it was necessary to take a certain degree of containment against the Annamite.

"Mo. The clan does not obey the king's way, and it is appropriate for me to hang the master and punish the crime. Zhu Jun said with a smile, Li Wenjing's face eased and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Jun picked up the long table and drank the tea cup on the ground. Morsel. With a smile on his face, he continued, "I heard that pirates are rife in the waters of Annamdi. Repeated bans. After I occupied Guangxi. It is necessary to open a waterway between Guangxi and Luzon. Well...

Li Wenjing hurriedly said: "The Daming Land Waterway is the Annan Land Waterway. The Annan National Naval Division can be expanded immediately. Sweep away the pirates. Escort the merchant ships of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. ”

"No need!" Zhu Jun didn't know if this guy was a pig brain or if he deliberately didn't know how to pretend to understand. I can't comprehend such a simple meaning: "The Great Ming Channel." There is a Daming water division to escort it. Some pirates who threaten the interests of the Ming Dynasty will be severely punished. It's just that I, the Daming Naval Division, escorted the waters of Vietnam. But there is no place to fix it. Ay. This is what I have been worried about for the past few days. ”

"Annan is willing to provide a supply place for the Daming Water Division.

Li Wenjing finally got his senses. I made a detour, but I wanted to ask for a piece of land along the coast of Annan. Relative to the vast land of North Vietnam. What is a sailor's station? What's more, there are indeed a lot of pirates in Annandi. If the Daming Sailor is willing to arrest him. Wouldn't Annan also save trouble?

Jing is not afraid of Da Ming taking advantage of the fire to rob. and destroyed the Li clan together. After all, the day TT37 for so many years. Cases of the destruction of feudal states are very rare. Just serve with care. Let Daming not make mistakes. Then there is no need to be afraid.

Hit the road! Zhu Jun was overjoyed, this was easy to do, and hurriedly ordered the little eunuch who was standing there: "Go, bring the map of Nanyang, I will personally select a supply port location for my Ming Dynasty's Oriental naval division." ”

The little eunuch came out of the cabin in response, and the four commanders were still sitting solemnly on their sides, only Li Wenjing felt very depressed, what is this, the dignified Emperor Ming was actually excited like this for a small piece of land, how could he have the spirit of the Heavenly Dynasty in the past, thinking that the Heavenly Dynasty raised troops to help the vassal to defeat the vassals, and when the troops were collected after the victory, they had to set aside a piece of land to give to the vassal country, not to mention how rich the gold, silver and jewelry were rewarded.

A moment later, the little eunuch came with a scroll and carefully spread it out in front of Zhu Jun's table, Zhu Jun searched for Annan's location with great interest, and finally looked at it seriously.

"Li Aiqing, come up and take a look, what is the name of the place here?" Zhu Jun pointed to the location on the map, and waved to Li Wenjing with his other hand.

Lai Van Kyong also walked in the footsteps. He stepped forward, looked at it attentively, and said, "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, this place is called the East River." ”

"That's a bad name!" Cinnabar. Jun frowned and shook his head, the location he was referring to was in the middle of the long and narrow land of Annam, a coastal city only a few miles away from the coast, the land of Annam was like a flat arm, thick on both sides, long and narrow in the middle, and the East River was located in the narrowest position of the flat arm, the top was North Vietnam, and the bottom was South Vietnam, Zhu Jun thought for a while and said: "From today on, I will change its name to Shuntian, and the king of Annam, Li Shi, will obey the order and belong to the Ming Dynasty." Well, yes, I want to go to the land within a hundred miles of Heavenly City. ”

"Your Majesty the Emperor." Le Van . Jing was taken aback, and said busily: "Donghe... It is a hundred miles from Shuntian City to the border of Lancang, if Your Majesty takes Shuntian, Annan will be cut into two, this is afraid...

Cinnabar. Jun's face was cold, what he wanted was to cut Annan into two, so that the trade routes between North and South Vietnam would be controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and once something happened, the Ming army could cut off the connection between North and South Vietnam, so that it could continue to be divided into two, and a puppet regime could be set up in North Vietnam at any time. Moreover, Donghe City is only a day's voyage away from Guangxi, Luzon, and Hainan, and it is an excellent trade transit station.

"Li Aiqing, what do you mean by this? You promised to give Daming a station, and now that I have chosen, and I will send a large army to conquer the Mo clan for your Li clan, thousands of miles of North Vietnam will be sent away, can't even this piece of land within a radius of 100 miles be exchanged? What's more, my Ming Dynasty is transiting in this trade, which can also make Annan prosperous and trade, and can help you exterminate pirates, are you not satisfied with such favorable conditions? You just said that Annan is obedient to the king and respects the Ming Dynasty, is it all a joke? Zhu Jun glanced at Li Wenjing coldly, his face full of anger.

"This. Piece.... Flow, the Ming Dynasty cannot be offended, and the Mo clan must also be eliminated, But this Donghe City is located in Annan, once lost, Annan will be divided into two pieces, which is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the entire country in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, once Annan and the Ming Dynasty are at odds, the consequences are unimaginable.

"In that case, you should be me. It's all a joke, cough cough, Daming's expedition is to come to the Northern Expedition to Guangxi, and the matter of the Mo family will be discussed in the long run. Zhu Jun saw Li Wenjing hesitate, and threw up his sleeves and turned his face.

Li Wenjing's heart was up and down, and he was reluctant to give up the East River, and he was even more unwilling to give up this good opportunity to unify Annan.

Liu Guoxuan, who was sitting on the side, looked coldly at how the emperor extorted money, and was very surprised in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the expansion of the territory could sometimes be obtained in a verbal confrontation, he saw that Li Wenjing was silent, and couldn't help but think about it, and stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, this... Halfway through speaking, he swallowed back with a pretended dilemma.

Zhu Jun said with a smile: "Liu Aiqing has something to say, what to do." ”

"Yes!" Liu Guoxuan said: "Your Majesty, it's approaching the end of the day, and the envoy of the Mo clan is still waiting in the bilge for the emperor to summon him, will the emperor see it or not?" ”

Zhu Jun half-squinted, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, and deliberately hesitated: "Let's let him in, see what he says." ”

Li Wenjing was shocked, it turned out that Mo's messenger also came, what was his intention? Is it the same as your own purpose? If the Mo family and the Ming Dynasty have some kind of agreement, it will be miserable, and then the Mo family will have the Ming army, a big backup, once the attack, the Li family will face the danger of losing the country.

"Wait!" Li Wenjing stopped the little eunuch who was about to turn around and go out to summon the 'Mo Messenger', and said in a loud voice: "The emperor wants to obey the sky, Annan is willing to offer it, and he is only willing to marry with Daming forever!" ”
