Hue City, the new royal city of the city of Zhancheng.

In this turmoil, the king of Champa Gulai became the biggest winner.

Although the two attacks suffered heavy casualties, the Champa State had been forced to the brink of life and death by the Li Dynasty, and as a result, the Li Dynasty was not only suffering from the conquest of the Ming Dynasty, but now it has also been restored to the territory of Guangnan.

Although the southern part of Quang Nam was assigned to Nguyen Kim's newly created Nam Viet State, and the former Cham King was also owned by Nam Viet State, most of the territory of Champa was now finally recaptured.

In the future, as long as it is well managed, although it cannot restore the heyday of the Champa state, it can also allow the Champa to have a place in the Indochina Peninsula, instead of living a precarious life.

Since Nguyen Kim had ordered all the soldiers and civilians here to withdraw, the small city of Hue was reduced to an empty city.

"We're back!"

"This is our home!"

"God open my eyes, let me be here again in my lifetime!"

……

King Ku Lai of Cham led 20,000 soldiers and civilians to move back to Hue, and when they returned to this homeland, many soldiers and civilians could not help but cry.

They had lived here for generations, but they fell victim to the ambitious expansion of the territory of the Li Dynasty, and were almost wiped out by the Li army.

Fortunately, with the help of the Ming Dynasty, they reoccupied this old land and returned to this old city, where they will rebuild the glory of the Champa state.

King Koho was a young man with a thick beard and bronzed skin. After experiencing all kinds of calamities, the whole person feels mature and humble.

When he learned that Wang Zhi was coming, he not only set up a feast to entertain him, but also personally led the princes and ministers of the city to greet him at the city gate.

Although Gu Lai was the king of the Champa Kingdom, when facing Wang Zhi, he was always respectful, and even took the initiative to pick up the wine pot to pour wine for Wang Zhi.

"King Champong, Hengshan Pass is the territory of your Champa country, and it is natural for us to return it to you! In fact, the Li Dynasty is no longer worried, their main force is pinned down by our Ming army, and now at most they can only send a small force to disturb it, do you need to be afraid of this little military force to invade the city now? Wang Zhi liked the big lobster here very much, so he grabbed the lobster and asked lightly.

Gu Lai was afraid that the Ming army would rebel earlier, but now he was worried that the Ming army would suddenly let go, so he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Please also ask the envoy to leave the Shendian Guard in the pass, Xiao Wang has a good bottom in his heart!" ”

"The Divine Guard is building a makeshift camp on the beach a mile away, and will be stationed there temporarily! If there is really any urgent military situation, you will immediately send someone to inform you, and our Shendian Guard will arrive to support you, and you can ensure that Hengshan Pass is safe! Wang Zhi took a sip of wine and continued to comfort.

Now the Hengshan Pass is handed over, although it seems that the Shendian Guard will give away the hard-earned pass, but in fact, it transfers the risk, and at the same time, it is also a great favor to Gu Lai.

After all, what the Ming Dynasty was trying to do was not a territory, but to seek the most favorable situation for the Ming Dynasty in the Indochina Peninsula.

Gu Lai learned that the Shendian Guard was left nearby to support at any time, and he was also relieved: "In this way, there will be labor!" ”

"King Champ, you can rest assured, the newly formed Nanyang Guard has been stationed in Da Nang for many years. Once Zhancheng encounters any military situation, we Nanyangwei will definitely not stand idly by, but we also have to ask you to make it more convenient! Wang Zhi took a bite of the lobster meat, and said hello in advance.

Gu Lai knew that only by holding Da Ming's thick thighs could he stabilize the current situation, and even made a statement: "This is natural! ”

This time, in order to restore the country, he almost sacrificed his army.

Although many citizens have returned from various places, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the regular army, and it may take several years to train a regular army.

It is precisely like this that he can only obey Wang Zhi's words, firmly holding the thick thigh of the Ming Dynasty and resolutely not letting go.

"The most important thing for the Champa State right now is to resume production, you can grow more cotton and rice grains!" Wang Zhi swallowed the lobster meat in his mouth and told him seriously.

Gu Lai knew that he could only rely on himself financially in the future, so he nodded bitterly: "Definitely!" ”

The population of Quang Nam appeared to have migrated in an orderly manner, with the Nam Viet state founded by Nguyen Kim implementing a new policy, while the ancient state of Champa focused on defending against the invading Lê army.

As for the Ming Dynasty's full takeover of Da Nang, a new Daming city will be built here, and a batch of cotton cloth and goods will soon enter the Nanyue and Champa kingdoms for sale.

The sea breeze in October adds a bit of coolness to the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula.

The Ming Dynasty's conspiracy was really too powerful, and when it was learned that the Ming court intended to cultivate a new royal family to replace the Li royal family, the situation in the entire Li Dynasty suddenly became delicate.

At first, it was only suspected that the Zheng family would seize the throne, but as the matter continued to ferment, both the Chen family and the Ding family were wary, especially the big families who moved their families from the royal capital.

Before the second step of the Ming Dynasty fell, Li Sicheng, the king of Annan, could no longer sit still, and immediately handed over a letter of guilt to Zhennan Pass.

Faced with the sudden letter of guilt, which listed the terms of returning the king of Nanzhu and dealing with the troublemakers, Zhang Yong immediately became vigilant: "Could this be that the Li Dynasty is deliberately delaying time?" ”

"Hurry up to the capital and make a decision by Your Majesty!" Wang Yue thought for a moment, and then made a decision.

Although Wang Yue's prestige is now growing, he has always kept the rules firmly in mind, but he did not make decisions easily, but reported important matters to the imperial court.

Zhennanguan is thousands of miles away from the capital, but fortunately, there is now a pond newspaper system, and the transmission time is greatly shortened.

In the golden autumn of October, thousands of miles of rice flowers are fragrant.

After all, it is still an agrarian society, and only with a stable harvest can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the finances of the Ming court can become healthy.

Since Hubei began to push the whole country to clear the zhang, although Liu Zhong has not been able to complete the work of clearing the zhang, but this year's country has already increased one percent of the fields, resulting in the imperial court's autumn grain income this year has increased by millions of stones.

Since next year will be the Enke examination, so the country's lifters have rushed to the capital to prepare for the exam, and they only need to be able to win the championship in the Enke examination in the spring of next year.

In the capital in mid-October, the weather has turned cold.

After all, it was an agrarian society that was not polluted by industry, and the era appeared to have four distinct seasons, and the winter was longer and colder than Zhu Youzhi had expected.

Ahh

Chen Zheng, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, couldn't help but sneeze heavily in the face of the cold wind blowing from the lake, and then hurriedly knelt down knowing that he was rude.

Zhu Youzhu tried out this new fishing rod just sent by Chen Zheng, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, and the big fish came out of the wind and waves, and the big fish was encountered a few days ago, but the fishing line was broken again.

It turns out that it is not enough to rely on the gifts of nature, but that human beings need to create it if we want to make progress. If you want to completely solve the problem of fishing line, I am afraid that this winter will start to research nylon.

"Your Majesty, this is the most resilient horsehair fishing line that the Ministry of Industry has found, you should try again!" Chen Zheng's forehead was sweating, and he seemed to be bottomless in his heart.

Zhu Youzhu threw out the fishing rod and took the initiative to talk about another matter: "Chen Qing, how is the investigation of the cutting corners on the river embankment in Fengqiu County?" ”

"Please also ask Your Majesty for forgiveness, this matter has not yet been replied to! It's just that Your Majesty, please rest assured, once there is a result, the Ministry of Industry will definitely present it to Your Majesty as soon as possible! Chen Zheng shook his head lightly, and at the same time responded very affirmatively.

Zhu Youji's eyes were fixed on the fish mark, and he asked lightly: "Chen Qing, you have been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, I don't know what you think of the river embankment project?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to talk nonsense!" Chen Zheng didn't want to be sloppy, so he took a serious position.

Zhu Youzhu knew that the hardest hit area of ink greed since ancient times was engineering, and all dynasties with many projects would be greedy, so he said lightly: "Say it!" What I want is what you say in your heart, forgive you for your innocence! ”

"Your Majesty, local officials are not sages, not to mention that promotion requires two dozen points of silver, even if it satisfies the appetite, it also needs silver. The stone used in the embankment project is buried in the dam, so it can be done very obscurely! Even if the embankment really collapses, it can be pushed to the Diao people to get water...... Well, of course, there are still many honest river officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not many officials who are really greedy for ink! Chen Zheng realized that he was talking too much, and even if he collected some back.

Zhu Youzhu looked at the fishing line one after another, but said with emotion: "No one will be greedy, but there will always be people who are greedy!" It's just that as long as the entire embankment is careless, then it will be lost, and the diversion of the Yellow River will start because of one place! ”

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Ages, the Yellow River will be clear, and the ministers think that the Yellow River will not be in trouble for a hundred years!" Chen Zheng didn't dare to think about the diversion of the Yellow River, and hurriedly complimented him.

Zhu Youzhu saw that the fish mark moved, and he suppressed his voice: "Don't talk too much, where can the Yellow River survive a hundred years?" Salt affairs, grain taxes, water transportation and rivers, this is all related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Industry is in charge of the river administration, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection of the river! ”

"Remember Your Majesty's teachings!" Chen Zheng knew that his sloppiness was indeed too much, so he hurriedly made a statement.

Zhu Youzhu found that the fish mark was not moving, so he continued to speak lightly: "Zhou Nai, the governor of Caoyun, sent you a lot of charcoal and silver, why did you hand it over?" ”

"Zhou Nai is not only the governor of Caoyun, but also the governor of the river, which is a first-class fat shortage. Nowadays, the charcoal and silver he sent to his ministers does not seem to be much, but there are not many important ministers in the court, and one copy is a considerable amount of money. The minister knew that this silver must come from the wrong way, and the minister was not good at startling the snake, so he first made a false accusation with the snake, and then handed over the origin of the matter to His Majesty to decide! Chen Zheng stabbed Zhou Nai in the back, but he carried the banner of justice.

Zhu Youzhi has actually been eyeing Zhou Nai for a long time, but it is useless to solve the problem of Cao Yun getting rid of a Zhou Nai, but he needs to use Zhou Nai.

Although he had already secretly investigated Zhou Nai, the case of the Huaiyan Salt Administration was like a wake-up call, making the gang more tactful and cautious.

Zhu Youzhi knew that Chen Zheng could be trusted, so he arranged lightly: "At the end of this year, there will be some transfers of river officials, if Zhou Nai finds you for help at that time, you can see who he recommends!" ”

"Obey the order!" Chen Zheng realized that His Majesty was eyeing the river, so he hurriedly said.

Zhu Youzhu sat on the edge of the fishing pavilion, against the cold wind that kept blowing, although the Taiye pool was not frozen, but the fish situation had become very bad.

When Chen Zheng left, he sat for half an hour before catching a small fish, and simply ended the fishing, which would also be the last fishing in the first year of Hongzhi.

In the face of the letter of petition sent by the southwest, although the letter of petition seemed to be full of emotion, the king of Nanzhu did not send it together, but he knew that Li Sicheng, who was insincere, was deliberately delaying time.

Just as the petition was delivered to the capital, the king of Annam, Li Sicheng, suddenly divided his troops and went south, intending to recover the lost territory in Quang Nam in one fell swoop.
