Although Zhu Di intended to set up a firearms ban, he also guessed the opposition of the Wenchen, but after Zhu Quan's high-sounding truth, not only these six books, but also those who were picky in the egg all day long, it was difficult to refute it, and he couldn't help but be very happy, and he stood up with great interest and sent an order to the military department to select soldiers. Please remember the URL of this site: Ha XVIII. The total strength of the Shenji Battalion was 5,000, including 3,600 infantry, 1,000 cavalry, and 400 artillery. Together with the five military battalions and the three thousand battalions, they are listed as the three major battalions of the Beijing Forbidden Army, and the leading generals such as the admiral and the ministers do not belong to the military department, but are personally appointed and dispatched by themselves. In addition, the Ministry of Works was ordered to gather skilled craftsmen to develop sharp firearms for use by the Divine Machine Battalion.

By the time the morning dawn had dispersed, it was already close to noon. The light snow is clear, and the long-lost sun hangs in the sky, shining warmly and comfortably.

Zhu Quan stretched his waist as if no one was around, and slowly walked along the royal road towards Hongwu Gate. He once followed the former Liangguo Gong Lanyu, who destroyed the Northern Yuan Golden Horde Army in a battle on the fishing side of the sea, and he deeply understood a truth, in today's world, and those nomadic tribes who are warats, Tatars, etc., and are thirsty for murder, talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, which is purely a fantasy of seeking skin with a tiger and seeking fish from a wood. Only by letting the army of the Ming Dynasty master the unparalleled combat power in the world can we talk about the truth that the warlike will die. Even though today's artillery, guns and other weapons are limited by productivity, and cannot replace cold weapons such as strong bows and crossbows and swords overnight, but supplemented by the three-stage shooting method, it can still make the cavalry tactics of the Huns, Turks, and Mengyuan storms in the era of cold weapons for thousands of years.

Seeing those highly respected Shangshu from afar, the squire lords glanced at him with contempt in their eyes, but Zhu Quan didn't care, because he knew that today because of the determination of Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, the Ming Society had the first army in Chinese history and the history of the world to use firearms to fight.

In the dead of night, in the imperial study, Zhu Di drank tea comfortably, while quietly listening to Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, tell the words and actions of the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China on weekdays.

Hearing Ji Gang talk about Sheng Yong, Ping'an and other generals who were loyal to Zhu Yunwen in the past, Zhu Di suddenly remembered the battle of Dongchang, which he regarded as a great shame in his life, and remembered the heavy casualties of thousands of troops and horses under Sheng Yong's artillery and firearms, and Zhang Yu, who was regarded as a minister of the humerus, died tragically, and he also fled in the wilderness, and his face became more and more ugly. The reason why he ordered the establishment of the forbidden army Shenji battalion that specializes in the use of firearms was not only for Zhang Fu, but also for Mu Sheng's military intelligence report sent back from Annan, but more importantly, he had suffered a big loss under artillery and firearms in the past, so he naturally knew the sharpness of firearms when the two armies were fighting.

Ji Gang, who was good at observing words and feelings, saw that His Majesty the Emperor was sitting behind the desk with a very ugly face, so he closed his mouth knowingly. He was quick-witted, he followed Zhu Di in the past, and he also experienced the defeat under Dongchang City, so he naturally guessed why Zhu Di was unhappy.

"Sheng Yong, is peace still there?" After a moment of silence, Zhu Di finally broke the silence in the imperial study.

Seeing that pair of cold eyes swept over, Ji Gang hurriedly lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Weichen will rush to Beijing tomorrow." He has followed Zhu Di for a long time, so he naturally understands the meaning of his words.

Half a month later, in the city of Beijing, in front of Sheng Yong's mansion, which is usually full of birds, a man dressed as an ordinary scholar in a fox fur gently knocked on the closed door of the mansion, which was Ji Gang from Nanjing.

Sheng Yong, who lives in a simple place on weekdays, took the greeting post from his subordinates, and after seeing Ji Gang's signature, the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile that was imperceptible to others, and he replied indifferently: "Please meet you in the study." ”

After leaving the study after the next person served tea, Sheng Yong looked at Ji Gang not far away, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that the commander is very majestic in Nanjing, and I am afraid that I am not here to catch up with Sheng, right?" ”

"The ability of the lower officials to have today is also given by the general in Dongchang City in the past." Hearing this, Ji Gang stood up, bowed slightly and replied with his fists behind him, with a respectful look on his face, not at all as invincible as the head of the Jinyi Guard of the Son of Heaven in Nanjing City. He said this from the bottom of his heart, but at this time, his mind suddenly recalled the past when he was ordered to go to Dongchang Shengyong's handsome tent to return Zhang Yu's body after the defeat of Dongchang in the past.

After Sheng Yong let out a long sigh, he said lightly: "Your Majesty's meaning, Weichen already knows. Soon after Zhu Di ascended the throne, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Chen Ying, the imperial historian, impeached Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing, with dragon and phoenix decorations on his clothes and utensils, and a red sash for the jade belt. In the past, he not only led the army to attack and kill His Majesty the current emperor, but also defeated the Yan army in Dongchang and Jinan, how could he not understand what Zhu Di meant?

That night, Sheng Yong was seriously ill and died the next day. Within a few months, Ping An "fell ill and died" one after another.

Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, on both sides of the Fengtian Hall in the Forbidden City, a group of civil and military officials stand on both sides, watching a group of more than a dozen people come slowly. Even Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who has always regarded the early dynasty as a drudgery, is also full of solemnity at this moment. It turned out that among these people who suddenly returned from the Timurid Kingdom in the Western Regions, the two headed by Fu An and Guo Ji were led by Zhu Yuanzhang to envoy to the Timurid Kingdom during the Hongwu period, and were later detained by Timur, and they were only able to escape and return last autumn.

Zhu Di saw that Fu An and Guo Ji were only forty years, but their hair was already gray, and it was obvious that they had to travel thousands of miles to envoys, and they must have suffered a lot when they were detained in Timur's country for many years.

In the past, Timur was obedient and deceitful, and then dared to lead a large army to attack without declaring war, Zhu Di was also full of curiosity about this Timurid country, and immediately asked for the details of his country.

Fu An and Guo Ji had been in Timur for several years and knew him very well, so they immediately informed the Ming monarchs and ministers of the details. It turned out that the brutal and unkind Timur led hundreds of thousands of tribal armies in the past, intending to follow Kublai Khan's destruction of the Song Dynasty to attack the Ming Dynasty, but he had no choice but to go to the middle of the road and died of a violent illness. Timur's fourth son, Shahru, was also a very powerful character, and he led his army to defeat several brothers and finally ascended to the throne of the sultan.

Timur's civil war was also a great loss of vitality, and those Turks, Jalars, and Turkmens who were afraid of Timur in the past learned that the tyrannical and murderous old madman had finally died. Shaharu knew that the current Timurid country could not be compared with when his father was alive, and he had the intention to show goodwill to the Ming Dynasty in order to let Fu An, Guo Ji and others return to the country.

Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, heard that the Sultan Shahru, who was under the current state of Timur, had not been on the throne for a short time, the situation had not yet been settled, and the surrounding enemies were around, so he couldn't help but feel relieved when he thought that he would not trouble China again in a short time.

A few days later, in a vast courtyard near Wenyuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City's Imperial Library, three carts full of books slowly drove in, and dozens of miscellaneous servants unloaded the books from the carts under the command of several officials of the Ministry of Rites, and distributed them to four places according to their types.

On both sides of a wide street in Chongli Fang, the young prince Yao Guangxiao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xie Jin, who was responsible for compiling the classics, led a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for compiling the classics stood solemnly on both sides, waiting for the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor. Originally from Yao Guangxiao, Xie Jin was ordered to compile books, with the collection of more books from the people, the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the number of Confucians selected from the people through the vague name examination has exceeded 2,000, and the Ministry of Rites has placed them in the Chonglifang area. Zhu Di came to check today, but because Xie Jin felt that the compilation of classics was greatly insufficient yesterday, he played again, asking the Ministry of Rites to select talents from the people, so he moved to come to Chonglifang to check the compilation of books.

Walking into the courtyard, Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Xie Jin and asked, "Where is Chen Cheng, a member of the Hanlin Academy?" ”

A moment later, Chen Cheng, who was about thirty years old, was summoned by Jinyi Wei to meet him. Zhu Quan took a closer look and realized that this person was Chen Cheng, who had a relationship with him in the past, received the envoy of Timur during the Hongwu period, and then went to Sari Uygur to set up three guards at the behest of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I have seen your recital, and said that the new head of Timur is in charge of the country, and I can send an envoy as soon as possible to show the friendship between the two countries. I heard that you are proficient in Turkic writing, are you willing to be the messenger of this journey? Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

Chen Cheng had been determined to emulate Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang of the Western Han Dynasty, when he heard that the emperor intended to adopt his advice, he immediately bowed down and played: "Weichen is willing to send an envoy to Timur in the Western Regions. ”

Xie Jin heard that Zhu Di intended to send Chen Cheng to the Western Regions, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen's compilation of classics is short of manpower, Chen Cheng has a heavy responsibility, and he is really lacking in skills to sort out and record the books of the envoys of the Chinese dynasties. Since he was ordered to compile the book, he naturally regarded it as the top priority of the Ming Dynasty at the moment, and he really didn't want his powerful subordinate Chen Cheng to leave for the sake of the mission.

Zhu Quan also felt that Xie Jin's words were reasonable, and immediately bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, Timur had undeclared war against my Ming Dynasty, and brazenly raised troops to attack, thinking that there were many barbarians in his country who were hostile to my Ming Dynasty, and although his son Shaharu ascended to the throne of the Sultan, the domestic situation has not yet been decided. In Weichen's humble opinion, Fu An, Guo Ji and others were trapped in their country, and they just returned, and I sent an envoy immediately, so it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of showing weakness. ”

Zhu Di heard that Xie Jin was reluctant to let go, while Zhu Quan opposed the current envoy, and immediately said after a moment of silence: "Then this matter can be discussed by him later." Although Timur is in Fu An, Guo Ji is very powerful in his mouth, but in his Zhu Di's opinion, he is just a Fanbang barbarian, and what he is most unwilling to do is to let Daming have the slightest hint of weakness in front of these barbarians.

The Ming Dynasty's southern expedition army advanced by land and water, and continued to pursue the Hu father and son of Annan. Qing Yuan Bo Wang You and other Ming generals led the army to cross the Zizhu River, broke through the Zhujiang River, Trapped Pieces, Wancao, and Pulai Zhuzhai, and beheaded more than 37,000 people. Hu Du, the general of Annam, gathered the sailors to defend the dangerous Pantan River, and Zhang Fu, the Marquis of Xincheng, ordered Chen Feng to attack, defeated him, and seized his boat, so that the east tide was determined, and the prefectures of Langjiang were fixed. The main force of the Ming army pursued to the other side of the Mumaru River, Hu Cheng, the son of Hu Yiyuan, came to fight with 300 warships, the Ming army met the head-on, beheaded 10,000 people, captured more than 100 generals, drowned no one, and the river was red.

In March, Hu Yiyuan, Hu Hancang, and Hu Cheng led the remnants to fight in the Fuliang River, intending to fight with the Ming army. Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng fought on the shore, Liu Sheng rushed through his formation with a water division, defeated the enemy, beheaded tens of thousands of people, because of the drought and shallow water, the Annan soldiers abandoned the boat and fled, the Ming army chased when the river suddenly rose, and then took advantage of the victory to advance, and most of the Annan soldiers were annihilated.

In May, the Ming army pursued to the Qiluo Haikou in Rinan Prefecture, and the entire army of Annam was annihilated, and the Hu father and son escaped with only a few boats, and soon after they were betrayed by their subordinates and dedicated to Zhang Fu's army. Zhang Fuzhi sent Hu Yiyuan and his sons Hu Hancang, Hu Cheng, and Hu Rui to Beijing.

At this point, less than a year after the Ming army was dispatched, it won a complete victory and eliminated the Hu regime, with 48 prefectures, 180 counties, and 3.12 million households.

At the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners, the ministers congratulated and said: "The Hu father and son violated the heavens and disobeyed the order, and they were all arrested today, all by the holy virtue and the heavens, and the gods and men helped to obey." ”

Although Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was in high spirits, he still said in a deep voice: "The spirit of the ancestors of heaven and earth is caused by the soldiers' lives. "Ordered the Hu father and son to be beheaded.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Xie Jin, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, said: "The Hu father and son usurped the throne and seized power, ambushed the Ming mission, and brought about their own destruction. At present, for the pacification of the king, His Majesty should choose a deferential person from the Chen family, the lord of Annan, to become the lord of the country, and submit to the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di laughed and said: "How can there be a reason to make wedding dresses for others? ”

Xie Jin frowned and said: "The Chen family has been the lord of Annam for a long time, and it has won the hearts of the people, if it is not for its descendants to be the lord of Annam, I am afraid that future generations will rebel and be unstable." ”

Zhu Di couldn't help but be displeased when he heard this, Huo Ran got up and said in a deep voice: "Annan, known as Jiaozhi in ancient times, has been a dependency of China since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and took advantage of the chaos in the world at the end of the Yuan Dynasty to fall away. Since it was originally a land of China, I want to return it to the territory of the Ming Dynasty today. "After that, the decree was sent to the world to inform the world of the edict of Ping'annan, and Annan was changed to the political envoy of Jiaozhi, with Lu Yi as the commander, Huang Zhong as the deputy, and Huang Fu as the political envoy and the envoy according to the inspection, and set up officials and changed the seventeen prefectures.

Seeing that the emperor insisted on going his own way and insisting on including Annan in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Xie Jin couldn't help sighing and was silent.

Zhu Quan saw such an inappropriate exhortation, and sighed slightly in his heart, and secretly thought to himself: Lord Shoufu has been busy compiling the "Yongle Canon" all day long, and he is not good at figuring out the holy will. Zhu Laosi is a character who will never suffer losses, my Ming Dynasty mobilized 300,000 troops to go on an expedition, spent countless money and food, destroyed the Hu family's father and son, and then set up the descendants of the Chen family as kings, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

On the same day, Zhu Di gave a banquet to hundreds of civil and military officials in the Fengtian Palace, and even promoted Zhang Fu to the British Duke, with 3,000 stones at the age of Lu, and Mu Sheng and other meritorious people were rewarded.

When Zhu Quan finished the banquet and returned home after leaving the Forbidden City, it was already hazy at night. Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart: In the history written by the slave literati of later generations, the Manchu barbarian chief Kangxi signed the "Treaty of Nebuchu" and ceded a large area of China to Tsarist Russia, achieving the "prosperous Kangqian era".

Note: In the history of Vietnam, it is recorded that the Ming Dynasty used 800,000 troops to destroy Annam, and the "History of the Ming Dynasty?" compiled by the Manchu imperial literati. Zhang Fu's Biography said that Annan had 7 million soldiers......
