Chapter 297: Soldiers are coming to the city
Chen Fan did not refuse, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "The minister should do his best to live up to His Majesty's deep kindness." ”
He was Hu Guang's protégé, who was previously dragged down by the Liang Ji case and was depressed, but he was lucky to meet an emperor who admired him.
Liu Zhiyu is a king, and he has the grace of knowing everything.
At this time, there are thirteen states in the world, six prefectures, and a vast territory, but Liu Zhi still has shortcomings, if it were not for the invasion of the Northern Xiongnu last year, his original plan was to take Annam first.
Now that the overseas development of Ivory Bay is separated by Annan, it has become an unstable factor that may go wrong at any time, which has seriously affected Liu Zhi's overseas plans.
What's more, ancient Burma, that is, the Dian State, has already paid tribute and called the vassal, and ancient Thailand, with the help of the Han Dynasty, was unified into the Shan State, and also considered itself a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.
In such a situation, on the contrary, Annan, which belonged to the Han Dynasty in the early years, has not moved.
But it doesn't matter, just fight.
Those who surrender to themselves can only be regarded as vassal states, and those who are defeated by their own hands can be regarded as their own land, so wouldn't it be more convenient to do whatever they want?
There is another one, the Qionghai Kingdom, which was recovered by Emperor Zhang, rebelled and broke away by itself during the Shun Emperor period.
First, there is no need to let him disgust himself there, and secondly, it is also a natural port that is used as a sea transit station, which is very suitable.
There are no typhoons in winter and spring, and it is a good time to send troops, but who to appoint as generals still needs to be carefully considered.
After all, Liangzhou Sanming in the northwest is a cavalry general, and he has been fighting with the northern clans for a long time, and the soldiers under his command cannot adapt to the geography and climate of the south at all.
And the fact that there has been no war in the south for a long time and that there are no talented people who can handle it is indeed a problem.
Liu Zhi consulted with several veteran generals of the Military Machinery Mansion, and Ma Xu recommended Lu Feng, the captain of Jingzhou Tuntian.
"There are quite a lot of naval troops under Captain Lu, and there are 20,000 Wulingyi, all of whom are familiar with water warfare.
And Lu Feng once participated in the extermination of Gongsun Ju, I see that he used his troops to fight, and he was agile and agile, and he sought victory in stability. ”
This is quite reasonable, and Liu Zhi sent Lu Feng to assist Yangzhou in training maritime forces in order to build ships and go to sea before.
In recent years, taking advantage of the opportunity of trade, Liu Zhi sent spies into Annan, not only to understand the military situation of the other side, but also to draw a detailed military map.
After many discussions, the basic strategy for attacking on both land and sea lines was formulated.
On land, Liu He, the captain of Tuntian, Jiaozhou, was sent to unite part of the army in Yizhou, and was led by Zhao Kai, a lieutenant general of the Huben Army who had already been transferred back to Beijing.
The three armies converged, not to mention 6,000 regular troops, plus 20,000 Wulingyi in Jingzhou, to attack a small Annan, the land army was enough.
On the sea, Lu Feng led a team to unite the naval forces of Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, with 5,000 people and a large number of firearms, to reach Annan.
At that time, Deng Yan led his troops from the Golden Peninsula to the north, and the Shan and Dian countries also helped to form a perfect encirclement.
The ministers of the Han Dynasty were all indifferent to this plan, and the most powerful opponent of the empire, the Xiongnu, was destroyed when they said that they would be destroyed, not to mention Annan, who was once defeated by his subordinates.
Compared with the fierce opposition a few years ago, they are now full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Han army.
As for no money and no food?
What are you afraid of, at that time, the Han was poorer than this, didn't he also launch the battle of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and won a big victory.
Compared to that time, I don't know how many times stronger, what is there to worry about.
Unconsciously, the pride and honor of the Han people quietly returned, and only a strong military and cultural victory could make people have such a strong sense of superiority.
As soon as the decision was made, the Ministry of War immediately issued a document, and the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Officials also cooperated at the same time, and the Ministry of Industry urgently mobilized weapons stocks.
However, there are only cold weapons, bows and arrows, horizontal knives, spears, armor, etc. in the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry, but the core gunpowder weapons have always been in the hands of the internal affairs directly under the emperor, and cannot be transferred without His Majesty's handwriting.
At the sound of the order, all the parts began to move, raising food, transporting weapons, arranging troops and horses, and preparing ships......
This time, Liu Zhike didn't plan to sneak attack, and generously submitted the war letter, calling the other party a traitor, and asking them to return the land within a time limit.
Of course, Annan would not pay attention, and if he wanted to pay it back, he would have softened his tone as early as when the Shan State and others were attached.
The reason why a small country has such courage to compete with the huge and powerful Han is that it is only far away and the road is inconvenient.
Annan also has a big killer, that is, poisonous insects and beasts, and the miasma of the tropical rainforest.
When Emperor Shun, Annam rebelled, and the army that went to quell the rebellion suffered this big loss, so it returned with a feather.
Therefore, this expedition also requires the cooperation of the Tai Hospital, which has prepared a large number of anthelmintic powder and medicines for the treatment of miasma.
In addition, Tai Hospital also sent three doctors who are good at detoxification, as well as dozens of medical students.
Needless to say, in terms of trauma, he was accompanied by a special military doctor, and when he arrived in Jiaozhou, he recruited more than a dozen doctors from the local area who were good at dealing with poisonous insects and miasma, and made a perfect plan.
Due to the difficulty of the road, Zhao Kai had to set off before Lu Feng, and when he arrived at the junction of Jiaozhou and Annan, he requisitioned many local hunters with high salaries.
There are many dangers in the mountains and forests, and these hunters are the most familiar with the situation, and with them as guides, there are many detours to take.
Zhao Kai is not in a hurry, opening mountains in every mountain, building bridges in the water, and focusing on safety all the way, and never rushing.
Annan sent a large number of spies to set up ambushes on their way, which was really full of tricks, such as driving away the attacks of fierce beasts and poisonous insects in the forest, poisoning water sources, digging a large number of traps or burying sharp bamboo knives in the places where they had to go......
It's just that they had played these tricks once decades ago, and the natural effect of playing them again was greatly reduced, and Han Jun deliberately studied their tricks.
Everything has been deliberated to solve it, and the so-called beasts are the best to deal with, and as soon as the thunderbolt comes out, it is simply their biggest nemesis.
Whether it is a tiger or a wild boar, after a bullet, even if it is not dead, it is frightened to the soul, and when it sees the Han army, it will flee in despair.
In terms of poisonous insects and miasma, due to the full preparation, the damage is not large, although it is a small loss, but it will definitely not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
The trap on the ground is the least cost-effective, it costs a lot of manpower and material resources for Annam, and experienced hunters can crack it at any time, so it's a big deal to take a detour.
He really can't get around, just waste some time, and he is not in a hurry to march anyway.
The most difficult thing to deal with is actually the poisoning of water sources, which is very headache, and the so-called silver needle probing poison in ancient times is all nonsense, and it cannot be tried at all.
There is no way, so I can only catch a few small animals for experiments every time I go to a water source, and store more clean water as soon as possible.
The only thing to be thankful for is that there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in the tropics, and when you really can't do it, you can get through it with eating some dry buns and not drinking water for a few days.
Reckless jungle, Zhao Kai walked for more than a month, and when he arrived in Annan, it was already late spring.
He was not in a hurry to attack, he found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, set up camp, recuperated and reorganized, and waited for the tactical encirclement to succeed.
Before leaving, Liu Zhi explained that it was best to be able to outwit without spending a single soldier, and when the time came, he only asked about the result, and he would not care what means they used.
With such a reasonable emperor with clear rewards and punishments, no one needs to worry that the credit will be in vain, and naturally there is no need to compete for merit.
Because there are secret agents of Long Linwei in the army, they will report the detailed battle report to the emperor at that time, so if there are generals who think they are smart, I am afraid that they will only be smart and be mistaken by wisdom at that time.
Seeing the Han army coming out of the jungle, King Annam was a little panicked, and soon he received requests for help from all sides one after another.
The naval armies of the Dian Kingdom, the Shan Kingdom, and Deng Yan had already blocked the southern border line, and then they did not move, and dozens of large and small warships attacked from the sea......
Under the strong oppression, the people in the Imperial City of Annam were suddenly panicked, and the ministers were panicked, and now there was nowhere to escape even if they wanted to.
So they began to put pressure on the king, advocating that they should be soft on the Han and perhaps retain the status of a vassal state.
But the old emperor had a clear mind in his heart, if he sent envoys to Luoyang with the Dian State and the Shan State last year, he would still have the possibility of keeping the throne.
But now that the soldiers are in the city, it is already a fool's dream to think about being a vassal king, and it is really a wrong step.
Seeing that all the armies began to slowly move forward, the DPRK and China suddenly exploded, and some people had even begun to plot a coup d'état, take down the old lord, and surrender to the Han Dynasty.
The strong enemy is fed, and no one wants to burn the jade and stones, and accompany the stubborn old lord to die.
This old emperor is also a ruthless person, knowing that the general trend has gone and he can no longer turn over, he simply Zen in the prince, but he left a whole corpse with a glass of poisonous wine.
Before he died, he instructed the new king to surrender to the Han Dynasty, so that at least he could ensure that his family would not be wiped out.
After receiving the surrender letter, the three giants gathered in the royal city of Annan, and according to the grade, it was the highest title of Chengen Gong Deng Yan.
The surrender ceremony was naturally presided over by him, and the new emperor of Annam had only been emperor for a few days, and he died in the country, and his mission was exactly the same, which was sad enough.
The new emperor greeted Sanli with his back on his back, took the guilt of Jing and handed over the national seal to Deng Yan.
This move is not ruthless, completely trampling his face and dignity under his feet, but this move is also enough.
Putting him to death and then being reborn, with the consistent style of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, as long as he lowers his posture to the dust, he will never be killed.
Compared with the fate of the family, the dignity of the individual is nothing, not to mention that since his father dared to betray the Han court back then, he should have this ideological preparation.
Sooner or later, one day retribution will come.
Of course, Deng Yan will not make his own decisions, decide his fate, and immediately repair the book and deliver it to the capital as quickly as possible.
Annan's victory was expected by everyone, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to win, and it was completely a soldier who surrendered without a fight.
Liu Zhi really named him the king of Annan, but he gave him a mansion in the capital, which was ruthless enough to stay in Annan It has always been a hidden danger.
However, the Han has always ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, and it is not easy to slap himself in the face, so he can only adopt this compromise method.
If you leave your hometown and go to the capital, and lose the people and land that support you, you can only lie on your stomach even if you have a tiger with its head cut off its claws.
And the imperial palace on the side of Annam was also changed to the palace of Annam, which was in charge of the minister appointed by the imperial court.
The royal family of Annam all returned to Beijing with Zhao Kai, while Lu Feng temporarily stayed in Annam, responsible for deterring and assisting the new minister of Annam.
After Deng Yan waited for Zhao Kai to leave in Annan, he also returned to the Golden Peninsula, after all, his main task was to build a port.
After a round of discussions, the DPRK and China appointed Wang Chang, the former imperial historian, as the minister of Annam, and appointed the former Jingzhou Mu Dongban as the special envoy to the southeast, in charge of the affairs of Annam, Yunnan, and Shan.
Dong Ban was very experienced in co-opting and domesticating the barbarians, and he had achieved great results in Jingzhou, and Liu Zhi had previously wanted to transfer him back to Beijing to take up a post.
But he was refused, and later received orders to build the Yangtze River flood control and water conservancy project, which has begun to take shape in the past few years.
Everything in Jingzhou is on track, and now Liu Zhi has sent him to the Nanyang area, which needs to be governed more.
After all, it was too far away from Jingshi, and it had rebelled, so capturing and recovering it was not the ultimate goal.
How to make the local residents identify with the Han from the bottom of their hearts and regard themselves as the Han people is the ultimate proposition.
There was another big event in the seventh year of Xiyuan, that is, the triennial imperial examination.
After the first two exams, the big man has long been used to it, and the early exams have been very smooth.
And they all have experience, just after the New Year, many people came to the capital, visited famous teachers, entered Taixue to audit, communicate with each other and so on.
There are also those who know that they don't have enough knowledge, but they think they still have some background, and they are completely aiming for the ten recommended places, and they want to get the qualification of a fellow jinshi.
Therefore, with a lot of money, I came to Beijing to find family elders for activities, after all, not enough knowledge, strong work ability, and high emotional intelligence are also a necessary ability for officialdom.
Sometimes such people are more promising than those who only know how to bury their heads in the work.
There are also those who come to the 30 poetry quotas, go to Beijing to meet friends with poems, understand the level of other people, and open up their own ideas.
In the summer, it's almost time to come, and most of these people are children of families or merchant families, and they all have money.
In view of the fact that the food poisoning incident in the last imperial examination is vivid, many people have spared no money and rented houses.
It is most convenient for the family to have someone in the capital, and a quiet room has already been prepared for the children and nephews who are rushing to take the exam at home, so that it is convenient for him to review his homework.
Rich and wealthy lords will also rent a single house, and those with little money will share a house with a few fellow villagers, and those who really have no money will go to the guest house.
After so many years of promotion of the imperial examination, children from poor families have begun to rush to take the examination, although the number is very small.
But for Liu Zhi, this is also a gratifying phenomenon, at least now the number of poor children who are rushing to take the exam has increased significantly.
This has brought a lot of pressure to the family class, and they have begun to be strict with the children of the family, forcing them to work hard.
In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and some states and counties were far away, so the cost of rushing to take the exam was not light, and it was also a large expense for the children of the dilapidated nobles whose family conditions were slightly worse, as well as some ordinary rich people in the countryside.
