When Li Jin was making every effort to clear the Annan Water Division, Zhu Di was not idle.

Under the leadership of Zhu Di, the size of the rebel army in Annam has become larger and larger, and by the time they arrived under the city of Hanoi, the number of rebels had swelled to a terrifying army of 500,000.

Although this is mixed with the elderly, weak, women and children, the terrifying figure of 500,000 still makes the guards of Hanoi City tremble with fear.

These rebels were originally just honest peasants, but under the instigation of Zhu Di, they turned into bloodthirsty beasts like crazy demons and swept through the entire Annam Hanoi Province.

The officials who originally oppressed them were all dragged underground by them from above, and everyone had revenge and revenge.

They pulled these officials out of the bedding of their concubines, and then used their fat bodies to light sky lanterns.

Chaos, carnivals, opening warehouses and releasing grain continued to be staged in Annam, like thugs, wherever Zhu Di killed, the people took the initiative to open the city gate for Zhu Di, and almost effortlessly, they occupied the entire Hanoi province.

Now Zhu Di has only one lonely city in Hanoi City that has not been captured, but surrounded by 500,000 troops, it is only a matter of time before he takes Hanoi City.

Just the night before the siege, Zhu Di issued a strange order in the camp, that is, after entering the city of Hanoi, everyone must not be taken captive, let alone killed at will, otherwise there will be no mercy.

This order made a group of rebel leaders confused, and they followed Zhu Di in order to burn, kill and loot? Isn't it just being able to eat meat in large gulps and drink wine in large bowls?

If they don't let them rob, how can they get rich? How to eat and drink spicy food?

Although the rebel army has swelled to 500,000 troops, when the team is large, there will be all kinds of people, including not only honest peasants, but also many ruffians and hooligans, and even bandits and robbers have mixed into Zhu Di's team.

The reason why these people are willing to follow Zhu Di is not still profitable?

Seeing that the biggest piece of fat was in front of him, Zhu Di actually ordered not to let everyone move the chopsticks, so who can stand this?

Immediately, there were four or five rebel leaders, who rushed to the rebel camp with great momentum, to find Zhu Di for an explanation.

Zhu Di had already prepared, and when these leaders entered the big tent, Zhu Di didn't have the slightest nonsense, only one word, kill!

Without further ado, the terrifying combat effectiveness of the marines, in just a quarter of an hour, resolved the battle.

In addition to these leaders, there was also a small group behind them, all of which were exterminated by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di knows that as a foreigner, not even a native of Annan, how can he convince the public?

Nature is power and interest, and interest can drive these people to be used by him, and power is to make these people obediently use by him.

Now that Zhu Di wants to move the interests of these people, then the only way he drives people is power.

To show your strength, you will naturally use thunderous means, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die.

This is not the Ming Dynasty, this is Annan, in a chaotic situation, the troubled times should be used to re-enact, Zhu Di doesn't care about the life or death of these Annan people, he only cares about whether the goal set by Li Jin for him can be achieved?

I have to say that Zhu Di's decisiveness instantly deterred these ill-intentioned rebels.

It was only at this moment that these rebels remembered that the reason why this mysterious stranger was able to be the boss was not only because he could bring everyone rich, but also because of his powerful means and invincible guards.

These guards were almost exclusively loyal to Zhu Di, and some of the rebels in Annam wanted to fight the idea of these guards, so they courted these guards, and the next day their heads were hung on the flagpole.

Moreover, these guards never participate in looting, they usually fight except for training, and they will hardly participate in any battle without Zhu Di's order.

This completely made the rebels dumbfounded, flies don't bite seamless eggs, but these taciturn guards are seamless eggs.

In fact, the ruthlessness of these marines is not for other reasons, but they simply don't understand what these Annamites are talking about.

Being strangers in a foreign land, they were an iron army built by Li Jin relying on iron discipline, and under the triple orders of Li Jin Lanyu and Zhu Di, they only knew that the purpose of this operation was to capture Hanoi, and they didn't care about anything else.

As for plunder, it is not the glory of an army, but the disgrace of an army.

Seeing that Zhu Di was so strong, the rebel leaders died down one after another, and even if they had more resentment in their hearts, they didn't dare to express it at this time.

However, Zhu Di didn't give them a sip of soup to drink, before the siege, Zhu Di promised them that after the city was broken, all the captured grain would be given to everyone.

Although food does not meet everyone's needs, it can meet most of them, because most of the rebels are underfed peasants, and the purpose of these peasants' rebellion is nothing more than a mouthful of food.

As for those with bad intentions, Zhu Di can't wait to see one kill the other, he wants to see who dares to jump out to find death again.

The siege went as scheduled, and with the oppression of half a million troops, and with the help of marines, the defenders of Hanoi did not hold out even for the first day.

In just half a day, the rebels entered the city of Annan, and Zhu Di also ordered people to control the officials and princes and nobles in the city for the first time.

In particular, all the yamen of Annan were heavily guarded, and this was the most important place to loot Annan in the future, especially the most important list of classics, which was an indispensable good thing.

However, Zhu Di was busy here, and the other rebels began to secretly make small moves without him, burning, killing, and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil.

After Zhu Di heard the news, he was furious and directly asked the marines to patrol the whole city, and those who dared to loot would be killed.

One night later, when more than 700 human heads hung at the four gates of Annan City, the whole city finally fell silent.

Under Zhu Di's bloody butcher's knife, these rebels finally knew what it meant to be a mountain of military orders.

It's just that Zhu Di's action seems to be a little late, and that night, the Annan palace was captured by a rebel army, and the Annan royal family was caught off guard and was killed by this rebel army.

Zhu Di was very angry about this, but after investigating for a long time, he did not find out the origin of this rebel army, these rebels seem to have a blood feud with those Annan royal families, and they did not let go of children who were a few years old, and after these rebels killed people, they dispersed directly, and no clues could be found no matter how they checked.

There was no way, Zhu Di could only start to clean up the mess in Hanoi City on the one hand, and report to Li Jin and Zhu Biao on the other, so that Li Jin and Zhu Biao could come as soon as possible in order to completely control Annan.

...

Li Jin did not continue to go south after solving the Annan Water Division, because he believed that Zhu Di would definitely be able to complete the plan he had set before.

He just asked Lan Yu to lead the sailors and began to continuously carry materials to Hepu County, and the 10 million taels of silver that Hu Jiyu compensated at the beginning and related materials were all pulled away by Li Jin.

In addition, Li Jin and Fu Youde only left 30,000 people to garrison in place.

Although the problem of malaria was solved, the climate here in Annam was really humid and warm, and the Ming army was obviously a little unaccustomed to the soil and water.

In addition, there are poisonous insects, snakes and ants everywhere, and if one is not good, it will be infected with strange diseases, which makes the demand for medicinal materials in the Ming army unprecedentedly increased.

In order not to waste so many logistical supplies, Li Jin decided to leave only 30,000 men, and the rest all retreated south with the navy.

After Zhu Di's secret letter came, Li Jin and Fu Youde were all very excited.

Since the war with Annam began a few months ago and the capture of Hanoi Castle now, it can be said that the goals set before have basically been fully achieved.

Fu Youde said to Li Jin excitedly:

"Master Li, we're really getting rich this time."

"Hanoi City is the capital of Annam, the most elite place, and more than ninety percent of Annam's dignitaries and dignitaries all live here."

"It can be said that by occupying Hanoi, we will control most of the wealth of Hanoi, which is the wealth of a country, which is enough for us to make a lot of money this time."

Li Jin is also quite happy, although he does not attach much importance to gold and silver, but the goals he set have all been achieved, which means that next, Daming can completely annex Annan, and Annan will also become Daming's grain production area.

"Ying Guogong, gold and silver are only part of it, in addition to these, there are also population, food, land, timber, all kinds of resources will be endless."

"These are the materials that can bless a hundred years, and we must take a long-term view."

"Yes, in the long run, it's better than Master Li said!"

Although Fu Youde preferred gold and silver, he still echoed Li Jin in a loud voice, and then asked:

"Then when are we going south to Annan City?"

The corners of Li Jin's mouth curved, and he smiled:

"Naturally, we will set off immediately and send troops to Hanoi!"

...

After Zhu Biao sent away Li Jin, Lanyu Zhu Di and others, he has been continuing to be busy with Qinzhou Mansion and changing the land to the stream.

Although it is easy to say that it is easy to change the land and return it to the stream, it is difficult to implement it in concrete terms.

The first is the choice of the liuguan, if you want to change the land and return to the stream, the most important thing is naturally to let the original toast be replaced by all the liuguan.

The original hereditary Tusi official position was replaced by a three-year liuguan, which for the Ming Dynasty, could definitely greatly weaken the power of the Tusi, and also allow the southwest region to gradually settle down.

However, who should be found to be this rogue official?

With Zhu Biao's idea, it is natural to find Han talents or people to serve, these meritorious and famous people, have a greater sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and have been studying sages since childhood, they will definitely be able to be selfless, and they can also treat these natives equally, which is the best candidate to serve as a liuguan.

But Li Jin didn't think so, and his remarks gave Zhu Biao a great shock.
