The summer of Shuntianfu is in full swing, and far away in Annan Province, on the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty, there are patches of deep mountains and old forests, miasma and fog, and the rotten leaves in the forest are piled up half a person high, and it is possible to fall into the swamp underground with a random kick, and then be swallowed by the sludge, eaten by poisonous insects and snakes and ants, and only a pile of white bones will be buried under the mud forever.

Annam Province, the Ming Province established on the ruins of the old country of Jiaozhi, is also the first province to be developed by the Yongle Dynasty.

Zhu Gaoxian, the king of Qi, who was not the crown prince in the past, and his old father-in-law, the British Duke Zhang Fu, led hundreds of thousands of southwest army expeditions, defeating the indigenous remnants and the remnants of the dynasty involved in this land, leaving only the three divisions of the Ming Dynasty and 100,000 southwest troops to guard this place.

Although it was the first province to be developed by the Yongle Dynasty, in terms of economy and development, Annam Province is far inferior to the two northeastern provinces of Jianzhou and Goryeo, which are dominated by latecomers, and is not even as good as the island of Yingzhou Province.

This is not because the geographical advantages of Annam Province are not as good as the other three provinces, on the contrary, the terrain of Annam Province is very suitable for planting, and if it is developed properly, it will become the granary of the Ming Dynasty in the Far South. The main reason is the uneven policy.

Although the Ming Dynasty has brought down this land, but the original remnants here still maintain an unruly and barbaric atmosphere in their bones, before the Ming Dynasty tames these original remnants, it is difficult to focus on development, 100,000 southwest troops are running around in Annan Province, today to quell the rebellion here, tomorrow to quell the rebellion there, tired and weak.

"Expel the thief and return my rivers and mountains!"

In the land of the Blue Mountains, there was a loud roar, and hundreds of righteous people around him echoed the roar, igniting the anger of revenge.

The leader, named Li Li, proclaimed himself the king of Pingding.

He was the son of a wealthy family in the Blue Mountains, and Li Li's great-grandfather Li Zhi traveled here and thought it must be a good place, so he settled in the Blue Mountains, and in just a few years he accumulated a rich family business, and became a long-term monarch.

By the time Li Li's son Li Ting, that is, Li Li's grandfather, inherited the family business, he was already a giant with more than 1,000 people.

After the Ming Dynasty captured Cochin and established Annam Province, Li Li was dissatisfied with the rule of the Ming Dynasty, lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, made friends with heroes, and recruited exiles.

Gathering momentum for a long time, just waiting for today.

Li Li lit a fire in the Blue Mountains, he was not the first rebel to oppose the Ming Dynasty, but the flames of the Blue Mountains rebellion were definitely the most vigorous rebellion in Annam Province.

Li Li, the king of stability, looked at the north with a tiger's eye and muttered, "The Ming Dynasty? King Qi?"

"Jokes, I'm going to build a huge empire on top of your grave!"

……

The Annam Metropolitan Division, whose full name is the "Commander of the Annam Provincial Metropolitan Mission", was the highest military department established by the Ming Dynasty in the southwest, commanding 100,000 southwest troops.

In Annam Province, because of the need for military suppression, the authority of the Metropolitan Commander is much greater than that of the Metropolitan Envoy.

Li Bin, the commander of the provincial capital of Annam, flipped through the military newspapers, and he was very satisfied with his current situation.

Originally, he was supposed to be a general soldier of Jiaozhi without rank, but because the Ming Dynasty set up Jiaozhi as a provincial unit, the general soldier on Li Bin's head naturally became the commander of the capital, and changed from a temporary title to a fixed title.

Although the power has not changed, but in the sense it is very different, if it is the general army, when the battle here is over, his official position will be removed, but if it is the commander, then it will become the number one permanent in the southwest.

"Lord Hou, the rebels in the area of Thanh Hoa Province are getting more and more serious, and the troops stationed there have been repulsed one after another, and they have asked us for reinforcements."

Li Bin frowned slightly when he heard this: "Well, let Zhu Guang ...... Forget it, let Ma Qi be the main general and go to quell the rebellion."

"Huh? Is it appropriate to let Ma Gonggong be the commander?"

Zhu Guang is a subordinate general under Li Bin, brave and good at fighting, as for Ma Qi...... That is a eunuch who doesn't know anything and only knows how to collect money, and when it comes to leading soldiers, a hundred horses are not as good as a Zhu Guang.

Li Bin said earnestly: "Although we are soldiers, even if we are soldiers, we must also think about our own future. Ma Gonggong has been complaining that he has nothing to do in the army, so let him lead the troops and Qinghua Mansion

's rebellion is not enough to worry about, and a pig can wipe out the rebels, so why not let Ma Gonggong have an addiction to leading troops?"

He naturally knew that Zhu Guang was more suitable for leading troops than Ma Qi, and although Li Bin was not a general like Zhang Fu, he still had the ability to lead the army.

But is this Ma Qi an ordinary person?

This father-in-law is the supervisor of the Southwest Army, and he has the power to directly play His Majesty, if he does not serve this lord well, this father-in-law Ma will give him Li Bin "a few good words" in a letter to His Majesty, even if Li Bin is a feudal general, he can't bear such a backstab.

The generals of the feudal territory are the most likely to be suspected.

Li Bingui is the hereditary Marquis of Fengcheng, and he is the commander of Annan Province, he is already the best official, if you go up, it is the prince of the country, although it is only a step away, but it is like a moat, Li Bin knows that he does not have that ability, he just wants to keep the position he has now.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Bin felt that the rebels in Thanh Hoa Province were not a big problem, so he let Ma Qi get over the addiction of leading troops, so that the two could get along in the future.

Should...... It won't be a problem.

……

"Your Majesty, the military report of the Southwest."

Zhu Di sat on the rattan chair and closed his eyes lightly: "Read."

Tang Cheng opened the military newspaper and read: "The rebels in Qinghua Province were in rebellion, and they all commanded Li Bin to order Ma Qi to lead 20,000 soldiers to fight the rebellion, and the victory in this battle repelled the enemy army, and then ordered Zhu Guang to lead the troops to exterminate ......more than 10,000 rebels in Lingshan, Blue Mountain and other places."

"You wait a minute."

Zhu Di raised his hand to signal, his years of experience in leading troops told him that there was a problem with this military report, "Who submitted this military report?"

Tang Cheng glanced at the signature and replied, "The commander of the capital of Annan Province, Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng."

"Li Bin?"

"Your Majesty, but where is the flaw?"

Zhu Di frowned: "First let Ma Qi lead the troops to fight, which is not only a great victory, but also a change of generals, Li Bin is a person who understands the art of war, doesn't he know that this is a taboo for soldiers?"

"Let Ma Qi lead 20,000 troops to the battle, what kind of bullshit deployment is this, Ma Qi knows how to lead the troops? Something is wrong, something is so wrong, there is definitely something in this military newspaper that is in the lake!

"Look at it again, there should be three copies of this military report, one is written by Du Si, one is written by the prison army, and one is submitted by the Jin Yi Guard, bring me what the prison guard and Jin Yi Wei wrote!"

Zhu Di, who is well versed in the way of using soldiers, smelled a strong atmosphere of conspiracy.

He has fought for so many years, from north to south, and from south to north, killing back and forth, just listening to the military report, he can simulate the battle scene on the battlefield in his mind, but listening to this military report, he was stunned for His Majesty the Emperor, as if he always felt that something was broken.

Tang Cheng looked for the letter sent from the southwest and couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhu Di observed his words and realized that something might be wrong: "What, what's wrong?"

Tang Cheng paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the southwest only sent two military reports, one was sent by Du Si who read it just now, and the other was secretly submitted by Jinyi Wei, and I didn't find the one sent by the prison army."

Zhu Di got up suddenly: "It's broken, something happened in the southwest."

"Li Bin, this miscellaneous must have done something in the military newspaper and tried to bully the king, and there must be a problem in the southwest now!"

"Quick, bring me that secret letter from Jinyiwei!"

Tang Cheng hurriedly opened the secret letter secretly presented by Jinyiwei, and before he could read it, he snatched it for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di flipped through the military newspaper with a gloomy face, and the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and in the end he was already furious.

"Brute! Li Bin, this brute!"

"Bullying the king, capital offense!"

Zhu Di couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and the general newspaper fell to the ground.

Tang Cheng only dared to sneak a glance, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the blood-red small characters written in cinnabar on the secret letter.

Jin Yiwei generally does not use cinnabar to write secret letters, and only when the matter is extremely serious, will he use cinnabar to warn.

Tang Cheng's eyes were not good, but he could also see the blood-like small words on the secret letter

, scarred.

"Li Bin ordered Ma Qi to quell the rebellion, 20,000 elites, all buried in the Blue Mountain, and Ma Qi was killed by the rebels......

"Li Li, a remnant of the Blue Mountains, rebelled and was arrogant...... Self-proclaimed king ...... pacify"

"Seeing that the rebels were unstoppable, Li Bin hurriedly ordered Zhu Guang to go to the main general to quell the rebellion...... After a great defeat, and then a series of defeats, Thanh Hoa Province fell and lost......

"In addition to Li Li, there are also rebel leaders such as Pan Bang, Zheng Zheng, and Li Hung...... Annam Province and Vulnerable ......"

"Li Bin was afraid that the imperial court would ask for the crime, so he wantonly investigated and killed Jinyiwei in Annan, trying to cover up the truth, ***......"

Zhu Di couldn't help but roared: "Still stunned here, hurry up and let the prince come over to meet you!"

……

Not long after the rising sun, Zhu Gaoxian crawled out of the quilt, put on a thin white coat, walked out with his chest exposed, and asked weakly when he saw Tang Chenghou, "Uncle Tang, what are you doing with me before the chickens get up early in the morning?"

He shook the bed with his wife last night, took enough food, and wanted to sleep lazily, but he didn't expect to be called up before he had slept for two hours.

Tang Cheng took out two letters and said solemnly, "Take a look for yourself, one here is sent by the Southwest Dusi, and the other is sent by the Jinyi Wei in the southwest."

"Wouldn't it be okay to put Wenhua Hall directly, I'll go there to check it, hey, why isn't there a military report from the prison army, shouldn't it be three...... Li Bin of Nyima!"

Zhu Gaoxian, who had panda eyes, was still listless, but after reading the military report clearly, he instantly sobered up, and the anger in his heart went straight to Tianlinggai, "If you want to cover it up, hide it from the sky and cross the sea, what a big boldness, telling a lie has come to the palace, who lent him the courage to dare to kill Jinyiwei!"

Two military reports, one true and one false, Zhu Gaoxian can figure out what is going on with his heels!

Li Bin, who was killed by heaven, lost the battle and lost the city, tens of thousands of troops died in his hands, and he was afraid that the court would ask for the guilt, and even did not hesitate to kill Jinyi Wei to try to hide the matter!

I'm afraid it's already in Thanh Hoa Mansion to the point where it is out of control."

Zhu Gaoxian nodded and said, "The southwestern natives are difficult to move, if I attack, the enemy will retreat, and if I retreat, the enemy will attack, and it will be difficult to discipline. Once there were signs of a rout of the imperial army, the natives of the southwest would surely rush to the contrary. To put it simply, we can only win battles, and we always win battles, and once we lose the war, the rebellious nature of the natives of the southwest will come up, and they will join forces to cause chaos, and the previous domestication policy of the imperial court will be in vain."

This is also a helpless move, Zhu Gaoxian was like this when he was in the southwest to quell the rebellion, he was not as powerful as he is now, unable to implement the domestication policy in the southwest, and could only barely maintain the southwest into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Zhu Gaoxian and Zhang Fu left, the southwest lost its backbone, and it became a plate of loose sand, which was even more difficult to subdue. Li Bin is now dizzy and has made a stupid move, and he has completely lost all the previous efforts of Zhu Gaoxian and Zhang Fu in the southwest.

Zhu Di said impatiently: "Can Lao Tzu not know this truth, what do you think I called you here for, if I could fight, I would have brought the army over and wiped out all these miscellaneous pieces, you two hurry up and think about how to solve the problem in the southwest!"

No one is perfect, and the talent of Zhu Di, a top celebrity, is also limited in the southwest.

His fight against the alien races in Mobei and the army in the Central Plains is of a super-first-class level, but if he is allowed to fight the natives in the southwest, it will be a bit embarrassing.

Zhu Di is inexperienced!

The battles in the southwest were all fought by Zhu Gaoxian and Zhang Fu, and the old man didn't know what the situation was over there and how to fight.

Zhu Gaoxian's eyes were deep: "I think that today's strategy should be to cut through the mess quickly!"

Zhu Di asked, "How to cut it?"
