Yang Feng's magic weapon is, of course, a hot air balloon.

This thing has already been made, it is not a zenith technology, the material is silk, a single layer is not enough insurance, then there are multiple layers, the hanging basket is directly made of bamboo, and the furnace inside is relatively high-tech, so it is directly on whale oil......

The whaling industry has begun.

Longquanwei, Whale Haiwei, these northern coastal guards all do this.

In fact, there is no need for them, whale oil was originally a tribute from Xu Wen in Guangdong to the capital.

There has always been a whaling industry there.

Although it is true that the imperial grandson has not yet gone to heaven, he now has six hot air balloons, and there are more than a dozen little eunuchs under his command who have gone to heaven.

Therefore, they will participate in the conquest of Annam as the first professional air force of the Ming Dynasty.

In the combat environment of Annam, this thing is really a magic weapon, and it doesn't need to rise too high, a hundred meters is enough, the battleship below is advancing along the Baiteng River, the hot air balloon at a height of 100 meters above the head is tethered, and the observer above is holding a telescope to keep an eye on the surroundings at all times, once the hidden enemy is found, report immediately, and the cannon below just needs to be prepared and wait for the enemy to come to the door.

Give them a lake-faced shotgun as soon as they show their heads.

This is enough to solve the problem of being ambushed.

As for the huge gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides, as long as there is no ambush, it is impossible for Annan to defeat the Ming army, and the southward movement of the Ming army in history is very easy.

Later, it was just that the rebellion was too difficult to do.

The law and order war cannot be sustained.

And for the Ming Dynasty, the value of Annam is really limited, the main enemy of the Ming army has always been Mongolia in the north, for an Annam, constantly fill it with valuable troops, and invest a lot of financial resources to fight the war of law and order It is really worth the loss, in fact, Annam is most suitable to follow the example of Yunnan, and then seal a hereditary family to guard.

Of course, the key is that the law and order war is too difficult to do.

Annan has been divided from one side since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and it has formed its own national consciousness by the time of the Ming Dynasty.

That's not good.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's goal this time was not to destroy them at all, but to use Hu Jichen's abuse of power and cause chaos to the country. Of course, this purge may take a long time, and in addition, Annan needs to dedicate part of the land to the Ming Dynasty and accept the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, not to annex them anyway. It is to control some strategic places and then garrison and then complete currency control, and now this set of Zhu Yuanzhang has played very well, especially currency control, after the practice of North Korea, it has now been played very well.

North Korea actually likes treasure money.

After all, either use the Daming treasure banknote or use the treasure money printed by Li Chenggui himself.

Which one to choose?

Of course, it is to choose the Ming treasure banknote.

Therefore, during the previous conquest of the Japanese state, the Ming army stationed in Korea, and the ports of supply along the way, countless Korean merchants carried various goods, including women, and then exchanged treasure money from the hands of the Ming soldiers.

The latter is like a division of the king of rice.

And Zhu Yuanzhang only needs to start the printing press in the capital to solve a large part of the supply.

It is obviously much easier to send a wad of banknotes to the soldiers and let them buy them in North Korea than to travel thousands of miles to sea with grain, and now this game has been extended to Fuso, and the Ming army stationed in Fuso has also begun to monetize supplies. In the future, it is estimated that this supply will be expanded even more with the submission of the Japanese state, after all, the Japanese must also use the treasure money after surrendering, and now it is Annan's turn to surrender the treasure money.

That's how empires play.

Nanking.

Steady Boat Lake.

"Isn't this just a big Kong Ming lantern?"

Yang Wen, who was sailing by the river outside, looked at the hot air balloon rising from a warship in the lake.

This, of course, requires a dedicated battleship, and even a small two-person hot air balloon is dangerous to operate on a battleship full of ropes.

So the emperor designed an aircraft carrier specifically for this......

The name is a bit exaggerated, but it's still very vivid.

In fact, it is a modern inlet on the northwest side of the Shogunate Mountain that has become a river beach, blocked by a sand embankment outside, and there are bridges at the outlets of the three rivers, and then a relatively stable water surface is formed inside, and the water depth can even be entered by treasure boats, which is regarded as the experimental base of the Ming Navy.

"Yes, it's a large Kong Ming lantern, but Kong Ming lanterns have been played for so many years, why don't any of you think about being a large Kong Ming lantern with people?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, that's true!"

Yang Wen said.

"Governor, there are people up there who are issuing flags, asking us to enter the Boat Lake!"

At this time, the adjutant general holding a telescope next to him said.

"What's the matter, King Yan's military order is to go to Longjiang Pass with him."

Yang Wen was stunned for a moment.

"He's still giving the flag."

Said the adjutant general.

At this moment, a small boat sailed out of the Tongjiang Bridge and headed straight for them.

At this time, the fleet was going upstream, so the speed was not very fast, and the entire fleet of more than 100 large and small warships stretched far on the Yangtze River, and the ship of King Yan was in the front, and it was already fast to Longjiang Pass at this time. This piece begins to go up along the Yangtze River, first the three bridges outside the Wenchuan Lake, the water station, the sacrificial altar, and the science department, and then the Longjiang Pass, almost ten miles of the riverbank. In fact, it is the beginning of the Shogunate Mountain all the way to Xiaguan, the lower pass is Longjiang Pass, and the upper pass is Shangxinhe, or Xinjiang Pass, and Longjiang Pass is the shipyard upstream.

All of them are lined up from east to west on the banks of the Yangtze River.

Soon the small boat docked on Yang Wen's ship.

"Governor, the imperial grandson has an order, there are too many warships returning this time, in order to avoid congestion at Longjiang Pass, except for the Yanwang Zhongjun, all the other ships have entered Wenchuan Lake."

A young red-robed military attache said from the boat.

This is Yuan Yu.

After the military capital of the governor's office.

His father is Yuan Hong, the governor of Zuo, and he is also the eldest brother of King Min.

"In that case, order all ships to enter the lake of stable boats."

Yang Wen then said.

As for the official document order or something, this is not necessary, Yuan Yu is the governor of the matter, his identity is a token, besides, who dares to fake this kind of order, he thinks that his father Yuan Hong is too easy to live in the meritorious heroes until now, do you want to add some difficulty to his father's survival in his old age? And there is nothing abnormal about this order, more than a hundred warships are all rushing to Longjiang Pass, which will really cause congestion, but the triumphant return of the army is only eligible for this treatment, but now it is also reasonable for the imperial grandson to ask them to go to Wenchuan Lake. In the final analysis, the emperor's grandson has the final say, since it is his order, everyone just obeys the order honestly.

However......

"Governor, why did the Yan Throne ask me why we stopped?"

Immediately after the report of the adjutant general.

Yang Wen raised his binoculars suspiciously, looking at the Yan Throne ship in the distance, where the inquiring flag was still waving.

Now the banner of the Ming army is very perfect......

This thing has been perfect since ancient times, it belongs to the evolution of generations, and the greatest contribution is said to be Zhuge Liang and Li Jing, and the flag language of the Ming army has been perfected with the help of Yang Feng, and now it can be used to transmit many orders.

"Yuan Yan, have you ever told King Yan about this?"

He turned his head and asked Yuan Yu.

"Dudu, this imperial grandson's order, you don't need King Yan's consent, right?"

Yuan Yu said with a smile.

Yang Wen is not a fool, and his face is not good in an instant.

He fell into the pit.

He's still in Yanwang's moderation!

They are now entering Beijing with King Yan, at least until King Yan returns the command, all their actions need to follow King Yan's military orders, and the military order given to them by King Yan is to go to Longjiang Pass together. But now the imperial grandson bypassed King Yan and directly ordered them to stay in Wenchuan Lake, which was at least not in the right form, not to mention that this was not a direct document order, but a verbal order.

So theoretically, he was disobeying orders.

Although this is the order of the imperial grandson, the imperial grandson has no right to order him!

The emperor's grandson is not the emperor.

Theoretically, the emperor's grandson has no power to order anyone now, let alone bypass the commander of the unified army to give orders to the generals in the army, which is very unruly, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care about this, and it is taboo to let other emperors go.

But......

He's the future emperor!

The throne is his, and he represents the future!

"Hahahaha......"

A gloating laugh suddenly sounded beside him.

Yang Wen looked at Yang Feng gloomily.

"Brother Yang, you have to choose one!"

Yang Wen said with a smile.

Here we go!

Uncle and nephew fighting, this begins!

Yang Wen accidentally fell into the pit, now should he obey the imperial grandson unconditionally, or should he obey the rules and obey King Yan?

This is a trivial matter, it is indeed a trivial matter, after all, after King Yan arrived at Longjiang Pass, basically even if he completed his task and relieved the commander-in-chief, the Ming Dynasty did not have a tiger talisman similar to the transfer of troops in ancient times, and the emperor appointed a chief military officer to the holy decree, of course, it is not necessarily called a general soldier now, after all, it is the vassal king who leads the troops. But in any case, this holy decree and the corresponding general military official seal are the military command rights granted by the emperor, and they will be returned to the emperor after the triumph, and the king of Yan has been triumphant, and the rest is to go to Longjiang Pass and then go to the audience and return the general military official seal.

So Zhu Yunxi is at this time, doing such an unruly, but it is really not a big deal, as for saying that he has no right to give orders to the army generals, just ignore this kind of thing.

Zhu Yuanzhang encouraged him to manage as much as possible.

He has long been directly involved in military affairs.

Since it was Yuan Yu who came to give the order, it means that he is going through the procedures of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and there is nothing wrong with it, if necessary, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies can issue a written order immediately.

Besides, he was originally responsible for welcoming the triumph of King Yan.

It makes sense for him to make some arrangements.

If Yang Wen and the others obey unconditionally, then he is equivalent to confirming the loyalty of the army, even if these people who fight with King Yan, as long as he gives orders, they will immediately obey the order, and they will not forget the issue of principle because they fight with King Yan.

If Yang Wen sticks to the rules, it doesn't matter.

He didn't send an official document, which was just what the faction said.

If you don't listen, you won't listen!

Insignificant trifles.

But......

It will be difficult for Yang Wen to gain his trust in the future.

So now Yang Wen needs to face whether to stick to his principles and gamble on the future, or to violate his principles for the future? Either way, though, he wouldn't be in any danger.

"Governor, King Yan urges to continue moving forward."

Said the adjutant general.

Yang Wen held the binoculars and looked at the flag in the distance.

Now that Zhu Di has changed from an inquiry to a formal order, it is obvious that King Yan already knows something.

"Governor, I have already passed on the order of the imperial grandson."

Yuan Yu said with a smile.

Yang Wen stood there with a tangled face......

"Go to Longjiang Pass!"

He finally said.

"You've got it all figured out!"

Yang Feng said.

"I only know what I am ordered, and I don't need to think about it."

Yang Wen said angrily.

"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolute disloyalty!"

Yang Feng said.

"Someone loyal to Your Majesty! Everything else is understood. ”

Yang Wen said.

In fact, he was very faithful.

His choice belongs to taking into account the overall situation, after all, if he really chooses to listen to Zhu Yunxi, it is equivalent to angering Zhu Di and then worsening the relationship between his uncle and nephew, but what he chose to listen to Zhu Di is that he was recorded in a small book by Zhu Yunxi, but it will not make the struggle between their uncle and nephew obvious.

It's a loyal servant.

It's just that I'm unlucky.

And Yuan Yu's boat quietly left.

Their fleet continued to move forward, and soon the Yan Throne ship in front of them first docked, and the imperial grandson and civil and military officials who had been waiting for a long time greeted the triumphant Yan King in the sound of drums, and the uncle and nephew enthusiastically held hands and showed their affection to the soldiers and civilians, as if they had just clashed. Because there were too many boats, Yang Feng's Yang Wenzuo ship could only wait temporarily, but the little princess's boat immediately docked, and a group of women went directly into the waiting carriage.

Yang Feng didn't come back and was not on the same boat with them.

After all, there are so many ships, and they have to be crammed into the same boat with them, which is easy to criticize......

Well, as if they really cared about criticism.

Immediately after that, it was the turn of the emperor and his entourage, and the soldiers and civilians of the capital who had not yet seen their image couldn't help but laugh at these people who could be said to be crowned with monkeys.

It's really ruined!

After all, this is also the king of the Japanese Invaders, and the Japanese Invaders have been murderous along the coast for many years.

It's also notorious.

And so their king is such a group of dwarfs?

The height of the Ming Dynasty was at least calculated by men, and it was still very common to be six or seven meters tall, and then it was really hard not to laugh at such a group of people who were about one meter four and one by one, and they were crooked melons and cracked dates!

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor is used to it.

They stepped on the dock in the escort of the Ming army led by Tan Yuan, and walked to the prisoner car in front, as sinners who came to be guilty, of course they had to take the prisoner car, not only to take the prisoner car, but also to change into prison clothes, in short, the whole set had to be arranged, in fact, they had to pull the coffin themselves......

"The matter of the Wa Kingdom is finally over!"

Yang Feng said with emotion.

"You seem to have a special hatred for the Wa Kingdom."

Yang Wen said.

"I told you that in six hundred years, they would take the city and slaughter it, would you believe it?"

Yang Feng said.

"Them?"

The lieutenant general next to him pointed to the one-meter-four emperor and couldn't help but smile.

"So you shouldn't ignore any enemy, even the weakest enemy, you have to be vigilant, after all, you don't know how weak your descendants will sometimes be, in fact, it doesn't take six hundred years, only two hundred years later, they can already make the city famous."

Yang Feng sighed.

"If that's the case, then my children and grandchildren will indeed be considered unworthy."

The lieutenant general also sighed.
