In the upper study, the atmosphere is extremely depressing.

I saw Zhu Yuanzhang with a gloomy face, looking at the folds in his hand, while Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in a worried mood, not knowing what happened?

"Superior, how's it going? Is there a big change on Annam's side? ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang refused to speak for a long time, Liu Bowen did not hold back the doubts in his heart after all, and took the initiative to ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head slowly, and said in a low voice:

"Something has happened."

This sentence suddenly made Liu Bowen's heart tremble, and he hurriedly said:

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the upper position should not be too sad, for the sake of today, it is better to think about what to do next as soon as possible..."

Liu Bowen thought that Li Jin was defeated, after all, the place in Annan was too special, the miasma was overflowing, and the plague was rampant, even if the Ming army was strong, it was possible to be infected with the plague.

However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang's words made Liu Bowen dumbfounded.

"Li Jin has defeated the army of Annam, and Zhu Di has led the army into the city of Hanoi."

"Karma...?"

Liu Bowen's face was full of shock, how long has it been? Li Jin destroyed another country, this efficiency is too fast, right?

But since a big victory has been achieved, and even the capital of Annam has been occupied, why does Zhu Yuanzhang still look indifferent?

Liu Bowen muttered in his heart, and asked cautiously:

"Then this should be a great event, why does the superior seem to be unhappy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly put down the fold and said in a cold voice:

"The monarch of Annan is dead!"

"What?"

"Not only the monarch of Annam, but even the royal family of Annam was slaughtered, and even the princes and nobles of Annam were mostly slaughtered, leaving only some ordinary people."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words completely shocked Liu Bowen, he didn't expect such an unexpected accident to happen in this battle.

Liu Bowen's eyes widened, his pupils continued to dilate, and he asked eagerly:

"Dare to ask the throne, how did the monarch of Annan and the princes and nobles of Annan die?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he replied expressionlessly:

"The monarch of Annan was burned to death by Annan's powerful minister, Hu Jichen, and those who were burned to death together, as well as the Manchu civil and military forces of Annan, all of them were spared, and they were all buried in the fire."

"And the royal family and magnates of the Kingdom of Annam were killed by a group of rebels."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's answer, Liu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He was afraid that Li Jin did this again, after all, Li Jin had a criminal record in Wajima, and at that time, Li Jin slaughtered the whole of Tokyo and shook the government and the opposition.

If it weren't for the intercession of the crown prince and the queen, I'm afraid that Li Jin's grave grass would already be more than a zhang high.

Now if Li Jin still does not learn his lesson and repeats the mistakes of the past, Liu Bowen feels that Li Jin will definitely die, even if the prince and the queen intercede again, it will not help.

Fortunately, this matter was all done by Annan Quanchen and the rebels, and it had nothing to do with Li Jin, which made Liu Bowen's heart slowly relaxed.

However, just when Liu Bowen thought that the matter was over, Zhu Yuanzhang's next sentence made him worry again.

"Although this matter is so-called by the rebels, we feel that it must be inseparable from Li Jin."

"Superior, why do you say this? No matter how Li Jin said it, he was also an official of the Ming Dynasty, so how could he get involved with the rebels? ”

Liu Bowen hurriedly defended, but Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face and slowly said the basis for his guess:

"Li Jin is indeed a Ming official, but he is inextricably linked to the rebels in Annan."

"The leader of the Annan rebels is the fourth Zhu Di."

"If there is no instruction from Li Jin, we don't believe that the fourth child has the brains to infiltrate Annan and become the leader of the rebels."

"This..."

Liu Bowen was a little speechless, although he also wanted to excuse Li Jin, but what Zhu Yuanzhang said did cause people to be suspicious.

What's more, Liu Bowen didn't know the ins and outs of the matter at all, and the twists and turns had always been in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, and Liu Bowen had no chance to check it at all, which made Liu Bowen very passive.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop because of Liu Bowen's speech, but spoke more and more smoothly:

"From our point of view, Li Jin had already made a comprehensive plan before attacking Annan."

"From the very beginning, he never thought about rescuing the people of Annan, let alone supporting the king of Annan, he had only one purpose, to capture Annan."

"Therefore, after the conquest of Annam, he wanted to slaughter the Annam royal family and wash the entire Annam magnates in blood."

Liu Bowen heard Zhu Yuanzhang's analysis, and asked with some puzzlement:

"But on the throne, the monarch of Annan was not killed by Li Jin!"

"If the king of Annam does not die, even if Li Jin kills more princes and nobles, he still needs to return Annam to the king of Annam in the end."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Bowen and continued:

"If it weren't for Hu Jichen killing King Anna, Li Jin would have to do it himself."

"Now that the king of Annam and the royal family of Annam have all been slaughtered, Li Jin can rest assured that he can boldly occupy Annam, because Annam has completely lost his heir."

Liu Bowen was silent, because with his intelligence, he could quickly figure out the reason for the whole thing.

Behind everything, there is a huge reason.

Li Jin is so keen to attack Annan, it is impossible that he just wants to set things right for Annan, which is not in line with Li Jin's character.

With Li Jin's unprofitable temperament, he would not make wedding dresses for others in vain, so Li Jin's purpose of attacking Annan was already clear.

Just like the original Wa Island, Li Jin wants to occupy the entire Annam, whether it is the land of Annam or the population of Annam, Li Jin has to swallow it in one bite.

Regardless of the land, just the millions of people in Annam is a huge amount of wealth.

If you want to occupy these, it is naturally impossible for Annan to have another monarch, and it is natural for Li Jin to slaughter the entire royal family for this.

Don't look at who did it, but look at the essence through the phenomenon, and see who benefits the most from this thing, so that you can know the real culprit of this matter.

Liu Bowen was silent for a moment, and then asked:

"Now that the superior has seen through Li Jin's plan, I don't know what the superior plans to do with Li Jin?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, his fingers slowly tapped on the table, and he fell into thought.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen and asked:

"What do you think we should do with him?"

"Kill him? Or let him atone for the princes and nobles of Annam? ”

Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and replied:

"The minister thinks that it is better to transfer Li Jin back and send an old and serious minister to Annan to appease the people and rebuild their homes for the people of Annan!"

"Although the princes and nobles of Annam have been slaughtered, as long as the people of Annam are still there, then the Annam court can be rebuilt, and even a new monarch of Annam can be canonized to govern Annam."

Liu Bowen adhered to Confucianism and did not have the idea of completely annexing the vassal state of Annam.

On the one hand, the climate in Annan is too harsh, and the people of Daming can't adapt to it at all, and on the other hand, it is considering the face of Daming.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Bowen's suggestion, he grinned, and then said his arrangement:

"Why do we want to transfer Li Jinqi back?"

"Not only will we not transfer Li Jin back, but we will also promote him."

"Annan has lost its heirs here, in order to prevent the local people from being displaced, it will naturally be placed under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, only under the jurisdiction of the Ming government, the people of Annan can live and work in peace and contentment."

"Isn't Li Jin planning to make a big deal in Annan? Then let's fulfill him and make him the political envoy of Annan, who is in charge of managing Annan. ”

Liu Bowen couldn't believe his ears, he didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not blame Li Jin, but actually promoted Li Jin, and let Li Jin manage Annan.

You must know that Li Jin occupied Annam in order to carry out the so-called slave trade and sell millions of people in Annam to Daming.

Now let Li Jin take care of Annan, wouldn't it be convenient for Li Jin to guard and steal himself?

"Ascending, this matter must not be allowed, once Li Jin is allowed to serve as the political envoy of Annan, I am afraid that the millions of people in Annan will not be spared."

"So what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't care about the life or death of other races at all, Annan is just a person, what does it have to do with him if he dies more?

"Doesn't Li Jin just want to buy and sell people to make money? Let's fulfill him, but we have to take ninety. ”

"Let's see, let's take all the money, does he still have the motivation to engage in these things again?"

"He earns silver, then we will take the silver from his pocket, no matter how much he earns, it is also working for us, so isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Don't you all say that Li Jin is a talent? We also admit that he is a talent, and talents must be used to the fullest. ”

"We can not kill him, and even give him a promotion, but we must take the money he earns."

"Hehe, in this way, we believe that our Daming treasury will never be short of money again."

Liu Bowen was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to do this, which is equivalent to treating Li Jin as a cornucopia, although Li Jin is allowed to make money, but all this money will flow into Zhu Yuanzhang's hands in the end.

But seeing millions of people displaced, Liu Bowen was still a little difficult to accept, and he advised again:

"If Annan loses millions of people, what will happen to the local land?"

"Once those lands are barren, other countries will take advantage of the situation, if these countries invade Siam, then what should we do with it?"

"It's okay, have you forgotten how to deal with the island?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not panic at all, and said eloquently:

"It's best if the people of Annam are dead, and when the time comes, the people of our Ming Dynasty will immigrate over, and the work of opening up the territory and expanding the territory for our Ming Dynasty will be enough to go down in history."

Liu Bowen didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to plan to immigrate to Shibian, he was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his worries.
