Huang Fu stood at the bow of the boat, with a look of surprise: "What are you doing, why are there so many boats?" ”

Huang Fu was originally the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and before discussing the expansion of the shipyard with Zhu Di and Zheng He, he got Zhu Di's respect.

He was accompanied by a small number of soldiers from the Beijing camp, as well as Ma Qi, the eunuch who announced the decree, and some other officials who came to Annan.

In other places in the Ming Dynasty, the three chiefs did not concurrently serve, and there were two political envoys, all for the purpose of separating power.

This time, there was only one political envoy in Jiaozhi, and Huang Fu was concurrently appointed as the envoy, which was quite centralized, so Zhu Di probably knew that in such a far away place, the necessary centralization was still needed.

Ma Qi is a little uncomfortable with the boat, a few days ago were seasick, today is a little better, he looked at the sea ships far into the sky, happy said: "There are so many sea ships in Jiaozhi, our Ming shipyard, can we build a little less." ”

Ma Qi knew that Zheng He and Wang Yan were in charge of shipbuilding, so seeing so many ships here, Jue Daming could directly use them.

Unexpectedly, Huang Fu said: "This is the ship of the people of Annan, and it is not my Ming, how can I forcibly occupy it tomorrow?" ”

"Besides, I don't think these ships are too small for the ocean."

Ma Qi rolled his eyes speechlessly, and didn't dare to say anything.

Because there were too many ships docked at Haiphong Port, they couldn't get through the port, so they could only slowly look for a gap outside, get close to each other, and collide with other ships a few times in the middle, until they were a mile away from Haiphong Port, they really couldn't get in, and could only dock at the offshore.

Fortunately, their huge Ming official flag was still very eye-catching, and after a while, a few small boats came out of the port in front.

These small fishing boats can seat four or five people, with only one boatman.

The small boat approached their big ship, and up came a deputy Qianhu and a civil official.

The two claimed to be Xu Gao, deputy Qianhu of Yunnan Xin'an, and Feng Xinhua, a civil official of Kunming Prefecture.

Huang Fu showed his identity, he was sent by the imperial court, and Ma Qi came to read the holy decree, and he was accompanied by Jingshi.

Xu Gao said, there are too many boats here, they have been blocked, several of your important officials got off the boat, went in with us in a small boat, and then changed to a big boat to go to Thanh Hoa, and the others went to Ha Long (east of Haiphong Lane), first got off the boat in the local area to rest, and then came by land, and then changed to a big boat.

Huang Fu looked back and saw that there were hundreds of people in the ten boats they were traveling with, most of them were officials who came with him, as well as a large number of goods and goods, and the families of officials.

So Huang Fu took Ma Qi, a few soldiers from the Beijing camp, and it seemed that there were a few brocade guards, a few goods, and followed Xu Gao onto their ship.

These small boats shuttled among the countless large ships, Huang Fu sat in the boat carefully, looked up from time to time, and asked the civil official Feng Xinhua after looking at it: "Is this all the ships of Annan concentrated here?" ”

Feng Xinhua said: "Back to Huang Shangshu, yes." ”

He only knew that Huang Fu was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he didn't know that he had come to be a political envoy.

Ma Qi couldn't help it at this time: "There are so many ships, why are they concentrated here?" ”

Feng Xinhua didn't say anything this time, and looked up at Xu Gao.

Xu Gao said: "Although the Annan Hu clan was destroyed, there are still many generals and rebels under his subordinates who have fled outside. ”

"The Red River area in the north of Annam, with its intertwined waterways and dense river network, will take advantage of the profits of the boats and bring a large number of rebels to resist everywhere and suppress them endlessly."

Huang Fu's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "You robbed it? Fooling around, what's the difference between this and a robber? ”

Huang Fudao: "The way to govern the people, care about the heart, for the people in these foreign places, we must use the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty to educate them, and then the Yue people will inevitably have their hearts towards the court - if you do this, it will only make them resist more fiercely." ”

Ma Qi glanced at Huang Fu disapprenously, these civil officials had a disease in their heads.

Xu Gao's face was calm: "The side of the Red River is an important place for them to produce grain, if they can't quell the rebellion as soon as possible, the imperial court may not be able to collect grain in the local area in the future." ”

Huang Fu argued: "Could it be that if they don't have a ship, they won't resist?" ”

"With a boat, they can carry a large number of people to move, and they are flexible, they can't be prevented, and they can also carry armor and various supplies, without a boat, they can't gather more people and materials, and it's easy to guard."

Huang Fu and Xu Gao argued for a few words, feeling that they couldn't say Xu Gao, so they snorted coldly at the moment and were silent.

But as mentioned earlier, he is a doer, very talented and capable, otherwise Zhu Di would not let him be the secretary of the Ministry of Engineering, and he would have consulted with him for the sake of shipbuilding.

He immediately looked at Annan's ship and found that Annan's ship was generally not very large.

In fact, Zhu Gaoxu had already transferred most of the large ships with more than 100 materials to Guangdong, the smaller ones were given to the people, and the larger ones were temporarily controlled along the coast of Guangdong, waiting for the crew and sailors to be equipped.

"The Yue people's boat is not very good." Huang Fu muttered.

Ma Qi said: "That can be compared with our Da Ming." ”

When they finally arrived at the shore, they found that there were a large number of Vietnamese people working on the shore, and the port was very densely populated.

"Is this in- expanding the port?" Huang Fu immediately saw it.

"There are so many ships that we can't fit in, so we hire local Vietnamese people to expand the port for us."

Huang Fu was stunned, because this kind of thing should be the political envoy in charge, but considering that before he came, there was no political envoy here, of course he couldn't say anything.

After going ashore, Huang Fu said that he wanted to go for a walk and go south to have a look.

Xu Gao hesitated and looked at Feng Xinhua, Feng Xinhua had no choice but to nod: "King Han is still waiting for a few people in Qinghua, but it won't be too long." ”

This will Huang Fu and they don't know that Zhang Fu had an accident, because when they set off, the news of Zhang Fu's accident had not yet reached Jingshi.

Huang Fu went south along the coastline, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became, and he found that the least few Wanyue people were working by the sea.

Not only is the port being expanded, but houses are being built in the distance, and it seems that something is being built.

"What's going on over there?" Huang Fu asked.

Xu Gao thought about it, and didn't lie to him: "Shipyard." ”

Zhu Gaoxu has relocated the shipyard in Changsha Village to this side as a whole.

Huang Fu glared: "Why do you need a shipyard here?" ”

"We have closed all the shipyards in Annam and Champ, and will only be here and -—— in the future" Xu Gao did not say the word Saigon, he came to his senses halfway through, and he did not tell the imperial court about attacking the city.

"In the future, the Vietnamese people will need to buy boats here, so as to prevent them from using boats to carry out military rebellion."

Xu Gao said that he missed his mouth, but fortunately, although Huang Fu was a professional and technical cadre, he was relatively poor in science and geography, and he didn't know that Zhancheng was another dynasty, and he thought it was a city in Annam.

Huang Fu obviously felt that it was not possible to do this, because under the guidance of the political envoy, the qualified arrangement, the whole country of Annan is so big, you can't just build two shipyards, other people use boats, wouldn't you have to travel far away to buy them.

Although Xu Gao said before, the Annan people still keep small boats, and what the imperial court confiscated was only big boats.

"Let's go, the lower officials want to meet the King of Han and Xin Anbo." Huang Fu decided to hurry to Thanh Hoa.

At this time, Thanh Hoa, and even Annan Zhancheng, were under the control of Zhu Gaoxu.

In these days, he continued to transfer troops and generals, and also transferred many civilian officials from Yunnan, and promoted some former lower-class people as officials in the local area, which flooded all parts of Annan and Zhancheng.

And he sent some of the people who occupied the city to Annam to be magistrates, and the people of Annam, who were sent to Champa to be magistrates.

All the magistrates are Han Chinese and Yunnan natives as the main officials, and the locals are the deputies.

After several months of adjustments, Zhu Gaoxu's control over the local area was further strengthened.

Zhu Gaoxu's methods of occupying the city of Annam were the same, first disarming most of the armies of the two countries, and then following Li Bin to fight the southern state.

The remaining scattered armies are used for mining work.

In this way, nearly 30,000 Ming troops were distributed in various places to guard these people.

Then it was to crack down on the landlords and divide the land, and to go all out to crack down on the landlord officials and rich people in Annan and Champa, and all of them were confiscated and not a single one was kept, and all the property was confiscated by Zhu Gaoxu, and most of the land was distributed to the poor people of Annan and Champang.

The farming taxes of the people of Annam and Champa were originally relatively high, accounting for about one-fifth, but Zhu Gaoxu ordered a reduction in the taxes after the division of the fields, which was reduced to one-tenth.

He divided the land and reduced the tax, and immediately won the support of a large number of people at the bottom of Annam and Champ.

A small number of the best royal fields will be garrisoned by the Annam garrison in the future.

In this way, the landlord class of Annan Champa was solved, the popular class was appeased, and the two places of Annam and Champa slowly stabilized.

In addition, Zhu Gaoxu controlled the mines and shipyards, and the local people did not have mines and large ships, so it was basically impossible to gather a large number of soldiers and horses.

Moreover, without the landlords and officials taking the lead, no one was willing to rebel after the fields were distributed.

Because your rebellion has succeeded, should this land be returned to the original landlords and officials?

Xipinghou has been following Zhu Gaoxu since he entered Yunnan, and has seen his ruthlessness and decisiveness with his own eyes.

Zhu Gaoxu was gentle and benevolent in front of people, and more vicious than Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.

The trick of confiscating the wealth of all officials and landlords in Annam and Champa has not been done by anyone in the thousands of years of history of the Central Plains.

But what made the Marquis of Xiping admire was the Han King's proposal to fight the landlord and divide the land, which soon opened up the situation in Annan and Zhancheng, and was supported by a large number of local people.

Since the Ming army entered Annan, the Marquis of Xiping watched Zhu Gaoxu recklessly collect and scrape, relying on the means of raiding all the officials and landlord class, and accumulated countless wealth in Annan and Zhancheng.

On this day, Zhu Gaoxu called Chen Xu, who was stationed on the border of the Angkor Dynasty, Li Bin, who was preparing to attack the southern state, as well as the Marquis of Xiping, and the generals above the command level in the army to the Qinghua Palace, ready to welcome the arrival of the holy decree.
