Chapter 253: County Annan

Well? Zhu Fan is dead? Zhu Yunxi's tone was surprised, but his demeanor was calm, as if he knew it in advance.

Seeing Ji Gang's heart, he tightened. Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was poisoned by three women. Some people in the court suspected that the emperor's grandson secretly sent someone to do it.

Previously, Ji Gang resolutely didn't believe it, as a minion of the emperor's grandson, even he didn't know. But the reaction of the imperial grandson when he learned about it was too calm...... Did he really send someone else to do it?

Seeing Huang Zhongren, Ji Gang knew that the minions of the imperial grandson were not the only ones...... The fact that King Qin was poisoned was not that Zhu Yunxi was calm, but that he had already prepared in his heart.

Historically, Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was poisoned by three women in March of the 28th year of Hongwu. Many people think that this is not an accident, and they have speculated who is the mastermind behind the killing of Zhu Zhang?

Some people suspect that it is Zhu Yuanzhang. Some people suspect that it is Zhu Yunwen, who became the grandson of the emperor. There are also people who suspect that it is Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Among them, Lao Zhu was the least suspicious, after all, he had never killed his own son. Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the emperor, disliked the most.

Historically, this kid had an unstable foundation, and the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Yan posed the greatest threat to the imperial grandson, and the civil official group needed to eradicate them.

As for Yan Wang Zhu Di. He is the fourth, and if he wants to sit on the throne of the prince justifiably, he needs to get rid of the first two brothers.

Poisoning Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, can also blame the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen and shake Zhu Yunwen's position as the prince.

It can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Coincidentally, two or three years after Zhu Rong, the king of Qin, was poisoned to death in history, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, also hung up inexplicably.

As far as political stances are concerned, both Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen have motives for committing crimes. But Zhu Yunxi's arrival disrupted all this, and he replaced Zhu Yunxi as the emperor's grandson.

Zhu Yunxi swore that he had never sent someone to kill Zhu Zhang! The king of Qin, Zhu Zhang, was cleaned up like that by him, the woman committed suicide, the military power was relieved, and there was no threat to the fart.

Now that his position as the emperor's grandson is in full swing and as stable as Mount Tai, why bother to do such a stupid thing and cause a commotion?

So only Zhu Di is left? After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yunxi shook his head. Zhu Laosi was watched very closely by him, and after several rounds of fishing-style intimidation, he is now much more honest.

And Zhu Di also knows what kind of person the imperial grandson Zhu Yunxi is, he wants to kill the second brother and blame his nephew, but he is afraid that if he doesn't get it right, he will die without a place to be buried!

Thinking back, Zhu Yunxi asked Ji Gang to continue to report.

"Not long after the king of Qin went, Xinguo Gongtang and he was seriously ill, and His Majesty went to visit him in person, and after returning to the palace, he couldn't afford to be sick......"

"Now the military headquarters is controlled by Qi Tai, who said that he would suspend the war in Annam." According to this, the Ming division was too far away, the news came and went slowly, and the Ming army advanced too fast, and conquered the entire territory of Annam in more than a month, resulting in the Beijing division not receiving a single battle report.

Many people thought that the Ming army was still attrition with the enemy army in many states, so Fang Xiaoru and others frantically opposed the war in Annam and wrote a letter requesting the withdrawal of the army!

After listening to a series of information from the Beijing Division, Zhu Yunxi was thoughtful. Taken together, it seems that someone deliberately tried to confuse the water, so as to fish in troubled waters.

For example, poisoning King Qin deliberately stimulated Zhu Yuanzhang, making Lao Zhu's already unstable body more and more difficult.

If the emperor dies, the emperor's grandson is out on the expedition, and a series of martial arts are not in Beijing, this situation is ....... said that Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was simply poisoned by three women, Zhu Yunxi did not believe it.

Because before that, Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong, was also poisoned.

"Immediately Pegasus will report to the Beijing Division, and Annan will be victorious!" Zhu Yunxi decided to stabilize the situation in Beijing with a great victory, and then wait for the Holy Decree to return to the court.

During this time, he had to clean up Annan's stall. You can't just drop it down, because it won't be long before there will be chaos again.

After a few days of arrangement. Zhu Yunxi raised his butcher's knife and killed a large number of Annan officials and gentry who had previously supported the Hu family and his son.

As for the Hu father and son, as well as the main clansmen, they were sent to the Daming Jingshi, and the rest were all executed! Hu Yuancheng, the king of Wei who surrendered before, will also return to the dynasty with the Ming army.

In short, there is no future trouble. All the Annan people who supported the Ming army early will temporarily become the new power class in Annam.

In Annan, Zhu Yunxi patiently waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's will while inspecting various parts of Annan to strengthen post-war rectification.

According to the plan he and Zhu Yuanzhang had previously formulated, after the defeat of Annan, the name of Annan and all political regimes were abolished, and the county system was implemented.

For the time being, Annan was turned into a province and renamed as the Jiaozhi Political Envoy Division, and the Political Division, the Judicial Division, and the Command Envoy Department were set up.

Jiaozhi is the ancient name of Annam, and the name comes from the "Rite and Imperial System": the south is said to be barbaric, and the carving title is Jiaozhi.

Located at the junction of Chinese mainland and the Indochina Peninsula, Annam is a springboard for the Ming Dynasty to pass through the West, and its geographical location is extremely important.

By establishing counties in Annam, the Ming could more easily control the Indochina Peninsula and greatly enhance the Ming's control and influence over the South China Sea.

It can control the countries of Champong, Siam and Chenla in the near distance, and can control the Sumatra Thorn, Old Port, Guawa, and Muddy countries near Manchu and the peninsula.

Turning Annan into a base for trade with ships from Southeast Asia and Western Europe.

And then the Age of Discovery. In addition, Zhu Yunxi stepped up the cultivation of Zhu Ying, the king of Min, and let him garrison Annan.

There is the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and many people dare not make times. Worried that Zhu Yunxi's temper would be bad or bad, Zhu Yunxi left another Dinghai God Needle.

"Feng Cheng, you're watching him here! If King Min comes to Hu, just teach a lesson! "Feng Cheng is old and has high qualifications, and he is Feng Sheng's successor.

One of his two sisters is the princess of Zhou, and the other is the eldest aunt of the emperor's grandson. And Feng Cheng is Zhu Yunxi's trusted general, in charge of the Shenji Battalion, and has been guarding Yunnan for many years.

He's a stuffy gourd, and he only listens to orders. With Feng Cheng here, Annan is not a big problem, and King Min does not dare to come nonsense.

....... Daming Jingshi. The pouring rain had covered the dark and dreary sky.

Oten's Palace, Nishinomiya. Zhu Yuanzhang was asleep. Suddenly, a dull thunderclap woke him up again.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat up, rubbed his eyes, and looked outside by the light. A flash of lightning illuminated the inside and outside of the study.

This was followed by a chilling thunderclap, which seemed to be overhead, shaking the study. It was like a hammer smashing the pot that was buckled on the vast earth, and the little yellow door who was so startled that the night was full of excitement and put on his robe, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked out in the face of the blowing wind.

The corners of the robe and the placket were all lifted by the wind, and the cold wind carried the rain, which struck Zhu Yuanzhang's last bit of sleep.

A group of internal officials hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, beware of catching a cold!" Waving his hand slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the dark sky.

The thunder flowed like wheels over a stone bridge, and lightning sometimes swept through the clouds.

"The battle is not small, but I can't be bluffed!" If it weren't for his inconvenience, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have been able to stand outside and touch the thunderbolt.

After watching for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang commanded sharply: "Go and send someone to tell all the courtiers that the court will be held as usual tomorrow morning!" A few little yellow doors hurriedly agreed, ready to summon the adults in the rain.

Since the old emperor said it, he wants hail, and the early dynasty will be opened! Everyone knows that recently, the emperor has a bad temper, blames his courtiers a lot, and kills many people because of trivial matters.
