"This Changhua County is really a good place!"

Zhu Gaochi stood on the Changhua Ridge in the northwest of Changhua County, Qiongzhou Prefecture, looking at the lively Changhua Wharf and the sea in front of him, and sighed with great emotion.

At this time, 40 days had passed since the army of the Southern Expedition left Beijing, and the huge fleet composed of 30,000 Jingwei troops and hundreds of warships finally arrived in Changhua County after three days of stationing in Qiongzhou Prefecture.

This area, which will be used by Daming as the core area for the development of vast lands in the south such as Annam, is now a huge construction site.

Under the Changhua Ridge, it is the county seat of Changhua County.

It is said that it is a county seat, but it is just a small town with a circle of earthen walls no more than two feet high.

There are no more than 10,000 people in the city, walking upstream along the Changhua River, and along the coast are small villages.

It's in a pristine state.

It's just that with the winter of last year, the first batch of imperial court fleets sent countless grains and grasses stored in Taicang, Hangzhou Prefecture, as well as craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the superintendents, Changhua County began to become different and began to develop towards a new one.

In just half a year, the dock that can accommodate thirty treasure ships and warships is enough to explain everything.

As for the rest of the warships, they could only anchor in the deep water area outside Changhua Port. Most of the soldiers went ashore to practice and reorganize, leaving enough soldiers to rotate on the ship to garrison.

And Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, who has the experience of the Zhenwei army, is at sea every day with a fleet searching for the sea ships of the Annamite people.

"If it weren't a good place, the general wouldn't be in Yingtian, so he would be here for it."

Behind Zhu Gaochi, under a sentry tower that had just been built not long ago, Zhu Shangbing pouted and said.

Beside him was Zhu Yunxi, who was holding a telescope made of copper tube foreskin, looking at the sea in the distance.

"It's been ten days since we came to Changhua County, and the general is not going to go to Zhennanguan?"

Zhang Wen's fleet could not be found on the sea, so Zhu Yunxi put down the binoculars and asked.

Zhu Shangbing immediately said: "The general is going to start tomorrow, and he went to the mine early this morning, and it will probably take some time to come back." ”

Zhu Gaochi took over and said: "The general is going to Zhennanguan, and the affairs of Changhua County are still looking for a stable person to sit in." On the other side of the mine, it is necessary to smelt steel, make firearms and weapons, and transport them to the front. It is also necessary to continue to build Taicang as a transit place for grain and grass materials for the southern expeditionary army. ”

"Taicang has more to build." Zhu Yunxi said affirmatively, his eyes looked at the sea, looked at the outline of the land that was faintly visible in the distance, and he waved his hand: "There, it is a land of wealth!" ”

Grain, spices, precious stones, wood.

These are the materials urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty, which are far more precious than land.

Zhu Shangbing couldn't understand this, and slowly reached out to take the telescope in Zhu Yunxi's hand and began to observe the movement on the sea.

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and said: "According to the established plan now, the output of Annan will be given priority to supply Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and other places to support the follow-up strategy of changing the land and returning it to the river." The vast plains where the city and the great river you are talking about are located are for the supply of the king. ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and nodded: "So, Changhua County is a very important place. ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded and began to think about some things.

He paced slowly to Zhu Yunxi's side, and someone brought a chair.

After Zhu Gaochi sat on the chair and drank a sip of cold boiled water, he continued to speak: "There is too much gold and silver produced by the Japanese people, and if the mineral deposits here in Changhua continue to be developed, the imperial court will have more wealth. ”

This brings us to the relationship between money and products.

When the issuance of more money is over-issued, and the total amount of production remains the same, the price of commodities will increase.

In the case that the people's income cannot be increased at the same time, the cost of living for the people's needs will also increase invisibly.

Zhu Yunxi was very relieved that Zhu Gaochi, who was called the executive vice emperor by later generations, had slowly been able to think of the meaning of this layer.

So, he induced a question: "So, what is the significance of Annan or the future of Jiaozhi and other ways for the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Zhu Gaochi turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yunxi.

Such questions and answers would appear every day from the time he got on the thief ship and left Yingtian City.

So, Zhu Gaochi smiled and waved his hand to Changhua County below Changhua Ridge.

"When Gao Yangzhi took the exam at the New Year's meeting, he wrote the question of Annance, which I think makes sense."

Zhu Yunxi also beckoned someone to bring a chair.

Sitting down with Erlang's legs crossed, he looked at Xiaopang calmly: "I wish to hear and see." ”

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes, but replied: "In the future, Jiaozhi will become a material supply place for the Ming Dynasty, which will be used to balance the problem that the production items in the mainland cannot be improved for a while. At the same time, new roads such as Cochin can also become a place for mainland merchants and ordinary people to sell their goods.

If we open up the great river plain to the west of Champ, we can build a wharf on the opposite coast and sell the goods of the Central Plains further afield.

In this way, a preliminary circulation system can be established. ”

After slowly finishing his opinion, Zhu Gaochi reached out to ask for water, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi.

Only this time, before Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth to judge, Zhu Gaochi seemed to remember something.

He continued: "It's just a pity, if my Ming Dynasty can recapture the Western Regions, in addition to shipping, I can also reopen the Han and Tang Silk Roads, so that we can drive the circulation of Guanzhong, Henan and other places." ”

Zhu Yunxi flicked his calf, and after a moment of silence, he said softly: "What do you think, what if you let Liang Guogong stay in the northwest?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said unexpectedly: "You want to reopen the Western Regions? ”

He felt that this brother's ideas were extraordinarily bold in many cases.

Just like now, he was obviously discussing the affairs of the south, but he had already thought of the situation in the northwest.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Not at the moment, although the imperial court only sent 30,000 troops this time, and the total number of southern soldiers gathered was only 100,000, but the energy was consumed. The imperial court can't start a war on three fronts, but now it's just an idea, maybe you can try it. ”

Zhu Gaochi carefully examined and observed Zhu Yunxi for a while, before he breathed a sigh of relief, settled down, and said softly: "If you want to pass through the Western Regions, then the Nine Sides must go forward and wipe out the Qianyuan tribes entrenched in the grassland, otherwise the Anxi whip will be out of reach, and once something happens, the support of the imperial court will be slow." ”

"There will also be this problem on Annan's side."

The topic was once again reversed by Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Gaochi was stunned again, but he was accustomed to such a thing that changed from one problem to countless problems during this time.

"Do you have an idea?"

Zhu Gaochi leaned back tactically and stared at Zhu Yunxi with a playful smile.

It's like this every time, it leads to a question, then it talks about its thoughts, and finally it adds to the discussion.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "This time, we have brought countless Menghuo oil and gunpowder, I don't plan to fight a tough battle with the Annan people, as soon as possible to solve the Annan and Champa and Lao people's departments, the rest of the passage to the west should be opened as soon as possible, and the development of the Great River Plain is the top priority." ”

"The kind of gunpowder that you and the future will work on as a prisoner?" Zhu Gaochi wondered.

"Not gunpowder." Zhu Yunxi gave a negative answer: "This time, seventy percent of the gunpowder in the army will be taken to Zhennanguan by the general, and he needs it more." ”

Zhu Gaochi raised his eyebrows: "Menghuo oil." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

He lowered his cocked legs, his calves tensed tightly, and then his heels slammed into the ground.

A lifetime of muffling.

A few pieces of cracked ground were shoveled away, but the dirt below could no longer be shoveled, and a layer of dust floated up due to external forces.

Then, Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and looked at the ground of Changhualing like a spider web: "Now, it's April." ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and nodded, "It's time for rain." ”

Then he said: "In the main hall before, the uncle said several times that the imperial court intended to move the people of the Central Plains to the south, but because of the mosquitoes here, some of them were uncertain. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi became interested: "My father really said that?" ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Yunxi with a puzzled face: "Uncle said that if the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer the land in the south, the imperial court still wants to let there be more Ming people here." ”

Mosquitoes are a big problem in the South.

But......

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "This time in the southern expedition, in the winter of last year, the Tai Hospital sent dozens of Tai medical officers and more than 300 disciples and apprentices, bringing the manufacturing process of allicin, as well as all kinds of insect-proof herbs and seeds. Workshop ...... It seems to have been built not far from the pier. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to the Changhua Wharf at the bottom of the mountain.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and suddenly said, "In a few days, you will lead the army to Qinghua City, won't you take me with you?" ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Changhua County will be handed over to Gao Yangzhi and counted as their test field." We will not let them go ashore until our army enters Daluo City. ”

The city of Daluo was the royal capital of Annam.

It is now ruled by the Annam-Chan dynasty.

Speaking of this Chen Dynasty, there is also a twisted story.

【Daming Sister-in-law】 【】

Since the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Huan established the former Li Dynasty, but thirty years later it was captured by Li Gongyun, established the Li Dynasty, and moved the capital to Shenglong City.

Later, Chen Shoudu added the Li Dynasty and established the Chen Dynasty, with today's Daluo City as the national capital. Subsequently, Li Rixian was canonized as the king of Annam by the former Song Chunxi Emperor and established the Li Dynasty.

But later, the Li Dynasty was cut off, and his daughter succeeded him, giving birth to a son, Chen Rixuan, and becoming the Chen Dynasty again.

During this period, Annam called the emperor to all the countries there, but only to the Central Plains called himself the king, and respected the Central Plains monarch as the emperor.

When he entered Daluo City, he thought that he had completely eliminated the rule of the Chen Dynasty in Annam.

Zhu Gaochi thought about it and felt that this task would not be too long.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief: "I know, you asked me to follow the past, just so that I can govern the Annan place for you." It's just that when you don't go back to Beijing last, just stay here for me. ”

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently, he did think about this issue that Zhu Gaochi suddenly mentioned, but in the end he was vetoed by himself.

For a character like Chubby, it's better to stay by your side.

That end.

Zhu Shangbing, who had been staring at the sea with a telescope, suddenly exclaimed, and then shouted: "Big fish! What a big fish! ”

Zhu Yunxi got up and looked over, and Zhu Gaochi also stood up helplessly.

In fact, you don't need a telescope, you only need to use the naked eye, you can see that the fleet led by Zhang Wen to go to sea the day before yesterday is on the way back, and in the middle of the fleet, there is a whale that keeps jumping up the sea and spewing dozens of high water columns.

Can you see whales here in Qiongzhou?

Zhu Yunxi's answer to this question was a little ambiguous, but it did not prevent him from watching it up close with the naked eye.

And on the sea, last year from the Japanese kingdom returned to the country, on the way to become a pirate king, sacked several pirate islands, and practiced a naval combat skills The fleet of the commander of Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, was already elegant, slowly lowered the sails, and sailed in front of the Changhua wharf.

"Zhang Wen is back, it seems that he has known early on that the general will send troops to Zhennanguan tomorrow."

Zhu Gao said vigorously.

Looking back, I looked at Zhu Yunxi, who didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Zhang Wen should be back, right?"

Now it is officially named a large mining area of Changhua Iron Mine, General Zhengnan, the founding prince, and the governor of the Five Armies Chang Sheng, staring at the open-pit mining area in this open-pit mining area with a smile on his face, and said to the deputy general of the army, Sima and others around him.

Jun Sima flipped through the booklet in his arms and said in a low voice: "According to the military order, Ninghou will return to Changhua Wharf this afternoon, and then we will escort our army out of Lianzhou Mansion in Guangdong Province and enter Guangxi Road from Jiangping, Sile, and Gusen. ”

Chang Sheng snorted, these are all things that have been agreed upon in the army a long time ago.

He said in a deep voice: "After landing on the shore, send scouts and order Pingxiangzhou to meet the army. ”

Zhennanguan, the main traffic artery of Guangxi and Annan, is in the territory of Pingxiang Prefecture.

Jun Sima wrote down this military order.

Chang Sheng looked at the absentees in the mining area in front of him, nodded contentedly, and said quietly: "Zhang Wen should catch more widows and come back." ”

Jun Sima smiled: "When Ninghou came back last year, the fleet was not large, and the Zhenwei army still had to set aside warships for backup, and it was already extremely difficult for more than 2,000 Japanese to come." ”

Chang Sheng shook his head and said: "A few days ago, I met with Taisun, Taisun mentioned how our dynasty would integrate the land of Annan, and Taisun and Yan Shizi said that we should weaken the local people of Annan and increase the number of people in our dynasty.

Ben Shuai thought that it was impossible for the imperial court to migrate the Ming people for a while. In this way, we will not acquire any land in the future, so we will migrate the people of Annam to come to Changhua Iron Mine. ”

Jun Sima thought for a while and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that Changhua Iron Mine will not be able to accept all the Annan people. ”

Chang Sheng frowned together: "Then let the three divisions of Guangxi Province, Guangdong Province and other places be ready, our army will fight in one place, and they themselves will send people to receive prisoners and send them back to the provinces and counties, to build the official road connecting Yingtian, and increase the official road between the local governments and counties." ”

Jun Sima thought about it, but didn't dare to answer, so he looked at the deputy general on the side.

The adjutant general thought for a while and said in a low voice: "This move may attract slander from the DPRK and China." ”

Chang Sheng's eyes suddenly froze: "This marshal only knows how to strategize Annan and how to eliminate the potential risks of the occupied territory." If anyone has any slander, the military Sima can play the imperial court for Ben Shuai, and ask His Majesty to send a slanderer to replace Ben Shuai to go south! ”

Saying.. Edition. 】

No one dared to take this anymore.

It is foreseeable that the founding prince will fight for the imperial court for three or five years in this place of Annam, and no one dares to change the commander easily where the country and the society are maintained.

It's just that when I return to the court, I'm afraid it will still be a little lively.

Chang Sheng saw that no one spoke, so he turned around, and the voice reached everyone's ears: "Return to Changhua, send orders to the army, and start tomorrow." ”
