Annam, this is undoubtedly a regrettable history in China.

Because the Hu regime in Annam harassed the border of the Ming Dynasty, Taizong Zhu Di was furious and sent Zhang Fu to lead an army to attack Annam, and then changed Annam to Jiaozhi Buzheng for direct governance.

It's just that the Ming court mistakenly adopted the Confucian governance model, and the civil official Huang Fu concurrently served as the political envoy and the envoy of Jiaozhi with the title of Shangshu, and served as an official in Jiaozhi for 19 years.

During his 19 years in office, this Confucian official vigorously promoted Confucianism and education, restrained the army from disturbing the people, worked hard to provide relief to the victims, and resolutely became a moral gentleman for the local people.

However, Huang Fu's benevolent rule did not change the fact that the local productivity was low, and the livelihood of the local people could not be effectively guaranteed, after all, reading the books of sages and sages really could not fill their stomachs.

The descendants of the Li and Chen regimes were given a respite, and while Huang Fu and other officials promoted Confucianism, they silently bewitched the people to accumulate strength.

Although the arriving eunuch of Jiaozhi Town realized that the people here did not submit to the rule, it was already too late, and the rebels had already become the climate.

Facts have proved that the Confucian education can only move oneself. In the face of the government without fangs, under the leadership of Li Li, many people joined in this feast of looting and rebellion.

In the face of the continuous defeat of the war, the Ming court also adopted tough measures and immediately sent Chengshan Marquis Wang Tong to suppress it.

As a result, this is another wrong move, Wang Tong is the true son of the Duke of Ningguo, but it is actually a coward. When facing Li Li, he secretly sent someone to promise to beg for Li Li's title.

In the end, the Ming garrison lost one after another, and Wang Tong chose to form an alliance with Li Li, and then withdrew from Annam without authorization.

As for Huang Fu, who was captured, he was also released by Li Li and sent troops to Yunnan.

Huang Fu's good reputation as an official in Annan for many years could not help the Ming Dynasty to quell the rebellion, but he took the initiative to hand over the gold and silver he was carrying, saying that it was a gift from the rebels.

When the matter came to the court, Huang Fu was resolutely promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although Wang Tong was convicted, he was finally successfully sued by the civil official group, and the responsibility was to be imprisoned by Ma Qi, the eunuch who had been in office for two years, for the crime of "radical change".

In the eyes of those in power, as long as he does not take the initiative to cause trouble, Li Li will definitely be obedient to the people.

Because the civil official group had gained power at that time, and they longed to share the blessings of peace, the voice of begging for the title of Li Li appeared in the court.

The virtuous ministers Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong had a very high reputation in the court, and together they proposed that the Ming withdraw their troops from Annam, canonize Li Li as the king of Annam, and recognize the independence of Annam.

At that time, it was no longer Taizong Zhu Di who was in power, if Taizong was in power, it was estimated that these two virtuous ministers would be beheaded on the spot.

Ming Xuanzong had just succeeded to the throne for less than two years, and chose to rely on Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, important ministers with good reputations, in national affairs, so he decided to give Li Li the title.

At this point, the Ming court used the wrong person, and even more under the begging of a group of virtuous ministers for Li Li's title, which caused this territory to break away from China again.

Every time Zhu Youzhu thought of this, he was also resentful in his heart for a long time.

This is also a helpless result, the civil official group has always longed to share the blessings of peace, and what they have always cared about is whether they can be named their wives and sons, and the name of their deaths.

Like after Huang Fu's death, Yingzong has not given gifts, and the ministers have discussed grievances. Until Xianzong ascended the throne, Xianzong, who did not know why, gave Huang Fu a posthumous gift to Taibao, nicknamed "Zhongxuan".

Facts have proved that what the civilian clique yearns for is actually a hypocritical peace, and in essence it is an ostrich mentality of compromising with evil forces.

Although the Ming Dynasty compromised to give Li Li the title, it also ignited the war in Indochina.

The Li Dynasty had always been proud of "defeating" the Ming Dynasty, and their domestic resources were indeed limited, so they embarked on a path of external expansion by force.

The Lê dynasty maintained a standing army of 100,000 men, not only invading small states or regions such as Champa, Laos, Cambodia, and Malacca in the south, but also demanding huge tributes from them.

Although the Li Dynasty accepted the baptism of Confucian culture, it was actually a military general, and it has always pursued the ruling ideology of plunder, and some practices are even more sensational.

For example, after invading the city of Kyoto, the Li Dynasty army slaughtered 60,000 inhabitants and drove out all the remaining rural residents, and then emigrated their own people.

It was through this cruel method of warfare that the territory of the Li Dynasty extended from the eastern coastline of the Indochina Peninsula to Malacca, which was also the reason why Li Guangdu once dared not to take the Ming Dynasty seriously.

The current king of Annam, Li Shengzong, is the grandson of Li Li, and he can indeed be called a lord of Zhongxing.

It's just that in the early years, he was able to "drive in person", but now he is used to living a life of drunkenness and money, and his ambitions have become smaller, so the expansion of the south has gradually stopped.

Compared with the land in the south, the land of Daming is naturally more fertile. After all, China's water conservancy is more perfect, and the inland land is less affected by typhoons, which is undoubtedly more attractive.

In recent years, the Li Dynasty has been eyeing the territory of the Ming border, and has continuously sent envoys to get in touch with the Tusi in Guangxi.

Due to the relationship between geography and history, many branches of Guangxi Tusi are in Annam, so that the two have a good communication bridge.

Li Shengzong is not old and confused, even if his battle in the south is invincible, but it is still difficult to challenge the Ming Dynasty with only the 100,000 troops under his command.

Although the Li Dynasty did not take the initiative to attack, small provocative actions emerged one after another. For example, the military households of the Li Dynasty forcibly dominated the civilian fields in Longzhou, Shanglianggang and other places in Guangxi, and lawsuits on the Yunnan border were also endless.

It was only in the face of such a provocative small move by Annan that the border officials usually chose to calm the situation, making the Li Dynasty the beneficiary party.

However, in this year's tributary incident, Annan was slapped in the face by the Ming court.

Because Li Guangdu left Beijing with the contraband of the Ming Dynasty privately, and killed the Son of Heaven's pro-army to commit the crime of rebellion, he was executed by Ling Chi in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Although this verdict was taken for granted in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, when the matter was transmitted back to Annam, it immediately aroused a very high mood in the main battle of the Li Dynasty military.

Li Shengzong Li Sicheng sent a general to gather troops on the border of Guangxi at that time, but the pride of being bewitched by the main battle faction earlier had slowly calmed down, but he knew that taking this step was likely to be an abyss.

Not to mention that the territory of the Li Dynasty now needs to be garrisoned, even if he summons an army of 100,000 troops to invade the Ming Dynasty, there is actually no great chance of victory.

In Annan, you can still rely on the geographical advantages to deal with the Ming army, if you enter the hinterland of Guangxi, what can you rely on?

Although Li Sicheng eventually retreated, the main battle faction of the Li Dynasty was still sharpening their knives, not only frequently harassing the Ming border, but also recently repeatedly looting pearl diving ships by pretending to be pirates.

The lights are bright, and the entire East Warm Pavilion is as bright as day.

Zhu Youzhu listened to the crackling rain in the courtyard outside, and a thick killing intent flashed in his eyes at this moment.

Since it was suspected that Annan pretended to be pirates to loot the pearl diving ship, the local Jinyi guards and town guards were ordered to focus on investigating Annan's actions in recent years.

I thought that the most hateful thing on the Annan side was that these people ransacked their pearl diving boats, but they didn't know about it without checking, and they were really shocked when they checked it.

Two years ago, Longzhou Tusi captured a group of Li Dynasty people who crossed the border and ransacked the village and handed them over to the Longzhou Prefecture Ya, but Li Hong, the prince of the Li Dynasty, personally brought people to besiege the city, and the Longzhou Governor chose to settle the matter and let the group go.

If it was just one case, there were many cases of the Li Dynasty army besieging the city, and the Li Dynasty's army plundered the Ming village from time to time, and there were no less than 100 conflicts between the Li Dynasty army and the border people.

The result? These things were all suppressed by the local government, or the excerpts delivered were not taken seriously by the imperial court.

Zhu Youzhu found that he still underestimated the aggression of the Li Dynasty, not to mention the various grievances in the past, and now the behavior of the Li Dynasty is unforgivable.

If you have your own beads, but if you invade your own Ming territory and slaughter your own Ming people, then you can only use their heads to pay tribute.

Zhu Youzhu folded his sleeves and splashed his pen and ink, and decided to write a letter to Wang Yuexiu, the governor of Liangguang, with only two short words: prepare for war.

The rain outside gradually became lighter, but it was not like the rain had passed the day, but it was to use time in silence to brew an unprecedented storm and rain to fall on the land of Annam.

A bell rang softly, and a beautiful woman in a fuchsia dress came.

Fan Jinling's facial features are exquisite, the two eyebrows painted are slender and moving, and the beautiful eyes are like autumn water, and there is a kind of charm all over the body.

She came over with a bowl of chicken soup, and looked at Zhu Youji, who was seriously handling government affairs under the lamp, her eyes couldn't help revealing gentle love, but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Although as a palace maid in charge of the emperor's life, it can be said that she has taken a big step forward to become a lotus beauty, not to mention that she is still one of the two most favored women in the Holy Heaven today.

It's just that people are inevitably greedy, not that she wants to pursue a higher status, but seeing that three hundred beauties will enter the palace tomorrow, she will undoubtedly spend a lot less time with the emperor in the future.

"Who boiled the soup tonight, the heat is just right this time, and it's delicious!" Zhu Youzhu realized that it was not early, so he drank the thick soup that had just been delivered and praised.

Before Fan Jinling could speak, the palace maid next to her mustered up the courage to say: "This is the lotus beauty who wrote down all the steps, staring at Liu Yidao's apprentice and doing it, and still staring at the fire next to him!" ”

"Lian Meiren, just leave this kind of thing to them in the future!" Zhu Youzhu took another mouthful of soup and put it in his mouth, and liked the taste of this soup very much.

"I'm afraid the concubine doesn't have this kind of opportunity! Tomorrow, those three hundred little goblins will enter the palace, and I don't know if they can come to the Qianqing Palace again! Fan Jinling carefully observed Zhu Youji's reaction, and deliberately pretended to be pitiful.

"So you have to behave well tonight, I like goblins, not vinegar jars!" Zhu Youzhu ate a sweet chicken, and then lightly encouraged.

Fan Jinling licked her sexy lower lip, which was her strong point after all.

After today's heavy rain, the dark clouds have slowly dispersed, and a white full moon has appeared in the night sky.

The entire capital has been quiet this time, like a sleeping girl, and the lights of the Qianqing Palace in the center of the Forbidden City have obviously become much dimmer.

A little flower cat barked, and the rats had been cleared by it, and were lazily lying on a pedestal.

In the depths of the Qianqing Palace, the golden bell rang in a room on the second floor.

Thinking of Annan's various transgressions over the years, Zhu Youzhi was really in a bad mood tonight.

After such a long period of governance, although the Ming Dynasty is still far from the prosperous era, but now the Ming salt policy has been improved, and substantial progress has been made in Qingzhang Tianmu.

The result? A little Annan was still so restless that he robbed his own Nanzhu King, and even intended to infect the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Although they have not occupied much land over the years, how can I be such a cowardly Chinese iron-blooded man?

Even if it is an inch of mountains and rivers, it will be a river of blood in Annam.

Fan Jinling bit her lower lip tightly, and found that Zhu Youzhu tonight seemed to be taking medicine again, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, and suddenly realized that it was a wise move to pull Qingyue over.

Zhu Youzhu didn't pity the fragrance and jade tonight, but silently gritted his teeth.

Although he was very angry at what Annan had done in recent years, he did not completely lose his mind and knew the importance of military logistics.

Why did the Aegis battalion sent by himself only stop at the Jianzhou Jurchens, it was Liaoyan Kaizhongfa that had been completely corrupted, and the granary of Liaodong had been emptied.

If there is not enough food supply, no matter how brave the army is, once it is in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, then all the soldiers are likely to die.

This is also why he hated the Jianzhou Jurchens, but he still chose Liu Xuan, who had no obvious military talent, and Liu Xuan completed the sacred mission of consolidating the granary of Liaodong.

Even if he wants to use troops against Annan now, he must prepare enough food in the southwest, so that he can have enough capital to support his army to enter Thang Long City.

Fan Jinling bit her lower lip tightly, and her beautiful eyes burst into tears.

She reflexively raised her pink fist, but in the end she didn't dare to fall on the chest of the man on her body, but she could only endure it silently.

At this moment, her vixen skills seemed to be completely ineffective, and only her own part of being bullied was nothing more than pain...... And happy.

The next morning, the Xuanwu Gate directly north of the Forbidden City slowly opened.

The three hundred beauties looked at the royal gate in front of them, and under the leadership of the female official in front, they walked into the most magnificent palace in the world with complicated feelings.

As they continue to move forward, they are the Shunzhen Gate of the Palace Garden, which is taken from the meaning of "obedience and chastity".

The buildings in the park are centered on the courtyard of the Qin'an Palace, but unlike the hundred-year-old locust trees in the south, the area in the north is obviously full of flowers and plants, and there is a magnificent garden pavilion.

Even if the show girl from a famous family sees the scenery here, she hopes to be able to come to the viewing pavilion to enjoy the scenery here when she is free.

The show girls who can come here know the rules, although some people can't help but look around with the corner of their eyes, but most of the show people still silently bow their heads and follow the female officer.

When I arrived at the south area of Gonghou Garden, I saw the Kunning Gate in front of me.

The reality is cruel, among their 300 show girls, only one can enter the Kunning Palace from this gate and become the queen of the Ming Dynasty.

However, now no one is qualified to enter from the Kunning Gate, and the three hundred beauties and female officials enter the West Sixth Palace area from the west gate of Qiongyuan, but the palace here is now empty.

They just passed through the palace road here, and then went all the way north to the west five houses of the Qianqing Palace, which was located north of the West Sixth Palace.

Each one has three courtyards in the north and south, and three hundred show girls will live in five courtyards.

The West Five Institutes of the Qianqing Palace are not far from Renshou Palace, but when they enter the palace, it is no longer a matter of distance, but their status is determined.

"According to the decree of the Queen Mother, all the show girls will learn the palace rules, remember the female training, and copy the Five Classics from now on, and the palace is the Gong Zheng, the Shangyi Bureau Shangyi, and the Sixth Bureau and the 24th Division are in charge of supervising and teaching the virtues, talents, female redness, and rhythm of the show women. All the show girls should listen to the lesson, not be arrogant, not disobedient! A female official opened the Empress Dowager's decree and read it out earnestly.

The show girls knew that a new competition had quietly begun, so they silently said yes.

Regardless of their family wealth, rich or poor, rich or low, there is only one truth left here: those who win the emperor's heart will get the harem.
