Zhu Ying glared at the gentry sharply and prostrate on the ground: "Your Majesty, you have ruined the gentry, what class do you want to replace the gentry?" ”

If you want to destroy anything, you need a substitute, otherwise society will be in turmoil.

Zhu Ying knew that this would anger the emperor, but he still had to say: "Among the gentry in the world, even if there are lawbreakers, but more people are supporting you, Your Majesty, Jiangnan is an important place for finance and taxation in the Ming Dynasty, can the gentry in Jiangnan say nothing?" ”

"Your Majesty is killing in Jiangnan, but there are Jiangnan gentry who have opposed Your Majesty?"

"The gentry has its limitations, but it is the most loyal!"

"Because the gentry can't rebel, they can't rebel at all!"

"In the past few years, you have vigorously encouraged the emergence of military nobles, and you want to use military nobles to balance the civilian official group."

"But Your Majesty, where did the rebellion between the North and the South come from? In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, how terrible the war was! ”

"Suppressing military force with literature is the policy for long-term peace and stability."

Zhu Ying kowtowed vigorously: "The minister is from the gentry, he knows the gentry best, the gentry are greedy or possessive, but they will not shake His Majesty's rule!" ”

"If a civilian official is in power, he will not change the emperor, but if the military general is in power, he will definitely change the emperor!"

Zhu Ying couldn't cry: "Your Majesty, the minister is your loyal dog, the honor, disgrace and wealth of the minister are all on you, and the minister will not harm you!" ”

This was the first time that someone objected to the emperor's purging of the gentry class.

Zhu Qiyu looked at him with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, the minister will not dare to lie to you, and he will not harm you!"

"Those who turn His Majesty against the gentry really want to harm you!"

"The root of the Ming Dynasty is the gentry!"

"If you destroy the roots, it is equivalent to ruining the country, who will support you in the future!"

Feng Xiao coughed beside him and motioned to Zhu Ying not to speak.

"Let him speak." Zhu Qiyu glanced at Feng Xiao.

In the tank.

The emperor also needs the support of the majority of the people in order for the throne to sit securely.

Zhu Qiyu has always hated the gentry and wants to replace the gentry class with the military class and the citizen class.

However, will these two classes really support the emperor?

And, where is their support? Can the emperor sit on the throne?

Zhu Qiyu has rarely thought about this question, and Zhu Ying pierced this layer of window paper.

Zhu Ying kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, the minister knows what you think, you want to make the country prosperous and make the country last." ”

"Naturally, the thieves of national fortune, the gentry."

"I thought of eradicating the gentry and turning the people of the world into small landlords."

"But, Your Majesty, anyone can eradicate the gentry, but you can't!"

Zhu Ying really let it go.

"You are the emperor, and the gentry are for orthodoxy! It's Daming! It's the Emperor! You're the one who keeps you! ”

"The minister said a word of arrogance, after the change of Tumubao, there is no emperor in the court, why would the courtiers welcome you to succeed to the throne?"

"Because all the officials in the DPRK and China are gentry! When they defend you, they are protecting their own interests! ”

"The one who really supports the righteousness of the world is the gentry! The one who is most afraid of chaos in the world is the same gentry! It is the gentry who really defend the emperor! ”

"The poor people you speak of, will they support you?"

"The minister is in Shandong, dealing with the people every day, knowing that the people are born weak, they will only make compromises, even if they know that you are good to them, but what do you have, can they help you solve the problem?"

"I can't!"

"Even, if you want to recruit them as soldiers, you must give them enough benefits, otherwise they will cheat and cheat, and they will not die for you!"

"Even if you dig your heart and lungs to be good to the people, they will take these for granted, they will not think of your good, but will only stare at their own one-third of an acre of land, staring at their own rice bowl! This is the human heart! ”

"On the contrary, if you raise taxes a little, they will spit on you and hate you."

"The people are weak, mercenary, and cheating, and it's not worth your time doing this for them!"

"Your Majesty, the minister knows your thoughts, but you haven't dealt with those Shengdou people, if you see them, you will know how disappointed you are!"

"These people are unreliable!"

"If you don't give them benefits, they won't support you!"

"What's the use of supporting you? They don't control the means of production, nor do they have the right to speak in society, how can they support you? ”

"If they give benefits, they will become the new gentry!"

"Your Majesty, aren't the ancestors of today's gentry also the common people? It's nothing more than a chance to get a chance! ”

"In this world, exploitation and oppression will always exist and will not change because of you!"

Zhu Ying's tears rained down: "Your Majesty, the military class is unreliable, and the peasant class is even more unreliable!" ”

"The only one you can rely on is the gentry, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Then you want to say, don't let me toss?" ”

"No!"

"The minister is by no means admonishing His Majesty, but hoping that the minister's heart can make His Majesty see the facts clearly!"

"You can dispose of the gentry, but you must not destroy the gentry!"

"The gentry is the cornerstone of your control of the world!"

"You can't destroy your foundation, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Ying's words were really deafening.

Zhu Qiyu has never thought about this problem, he has been supporting the military class, and wants to break the gentry and turn the peasants of the world into a small landlord class.

In this way, you can get a short period of fairness.

At least 20 years of fairness.

However, Zhu Ying's words made it difficult for him to control himself, I have always done something wrong?

"My foundation is the gentry?" This argument made it difficult for Zhu Qiyu to accept.

Those who steal the fortunes of the country are the gentry.

When did they become the foundation of the dynasty? Has he become the cornerstone of the emperor's control of the world?

"Your Majesty, Manchu courtiers, where did you come from?"

"Where do the local grain chiefs and officials come from?"

"Who is controlling the grassroots level?"

"Even, whose hands are the taxes of the Ming Dynasty? Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Ying cried: "Your Majesty wants to rectify the gentry, you can!" Your Majesty wants to transform the gentry, and you can too! ”

"But you must not be leveled by the gentry!"

"Even if you want to level the gentry, you have to think about who will collect taxes? Who will control the grassroots? ”

"Moreover, we must also prepare for chaos at the grassroots level."

"What the minister is most worried about is that the grassroots are in chaos, once the gentry are eradicated, the entire grassroots of society will be completely chaotic, and then Your Majesty has a strong army, can you kill all 60 million people? Is it difficult to do it again? ”

Zhu Ying kowtowed: "Although the minister is not in the center, but the person who instigates His Majesty to kill the gentry will be a traitor, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Is it so important to be a gentry?

Zhu Qiyu also considered that the silver taken out of the gentry family was enough for the Ming Dynasty to run for ten years, and then the grassroots structure would be reorganized.

But what Zhu Ying said made him restrain his hands.

The gentry control the grassroots of the Ming Empire, once the emperor makes a move, the gentry will not sit still, and will inevitably be everywhere, and once again, how much vitality does the Ming Dynasty have left?

It's a dead knot.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair helplessly.

Zhu Ying kowtowed for a long time, and found that the emperor was silent, and he was slightly relieved, and the emperor listened.

"Get up first."

The emperor's voice came, and Zhu Ying let out a long breath and survived!

Don't think Zhu Ying is stupid, he is going to Jiaozhi to serve as a governor, how far is Jiaozhi from Jingshi? I'm afraid I won't see the emperor for three or four years.

How can Jane be in the heart of the emperor?

You have to come up with a different view to make the emperor remember him Zhu Ying.

And if you want to do things in the local area, you must have the trust of the emperor.

Look at Xiang Wenyao, he originally did well in Guizhou, but he lost the trust of the emperor, and he was picked by Yue Zheng.

He Zhu Ying must identify himself, he is the emperor's loyal dog.

In this way, he can let go of his hands and feet in the place.

At least if there is a speaker who slanders him for rebellion, the emperor will give him a chance to explain, and this opportunity alone is very important.

Therefore, Zhu Ying wants to put forward a point that the courtiers dare not mention, he is telling the emperor, I, Zhu Ying, am your loyal lackey, Wangwang!

If Yu Qian dared to say this, the emperor would immediately cut him down;

In order to keep Zhu Qizhen, Yao Kui and others had exhausted the emperor's patience, and even if they wanted to say it, the emperor didn't give it a chance to say it.

Therefore, some people in the DPRK and China can see clearly, but they dare not say it or cannot say it.

Among the local governors, Zhu Ying's merits are the greatest, and he is favored by the emperor, so he dares to say it.

In fact, if he didn't say this, Hu Hu would have said it when he arrived in Nanjing.

The emperor did not do anything to the gentry, and once he did, whether in Beijing or Nanjing, someone would advise him.

Zhu Ying seized this opportunity and wagged his tail to the emperor to beg for mercy, Jane was in the emperor's heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing!"

Zhu Ying kowtowed and thanked him.

"Am I an emperor who can't listen to persuasion?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "Although I have been separated for two years, my original intention has never changed. ”

"I can listen to any advice."

"Your Majesty's virtuous name is to prosper the world." Zhu Ying kowtowed and stood up.

"Zhu Ying, you brought me into the pit."

Zhu Qiyu reacted: "When did I say that I would eradicate the gentry of the world?" ”

"Your Majesty, even if it is a gentry, you can't eradicate it!"

Zhu Ying said: "The grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of the gentry, and if the gentry are eradicated, who will fill the grassroots?" ”

"Come to the center!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "I want to collect the right to collect taxes, and the center will collect taxes in person." ”

The right to collect taxes, in the hands of the local gentry, is the weakness of the center, and once the local tax resists, it will be difficult to maintain the finances.

Moreover, he wanted to rebuild the grassroots and extend the imperial power to the countryside.

Zhu Ying also said.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "I want to open the sea, if I don't cut off the gentry, I will open the sea rashly, Zhu Ying, you say, who will be the biggest beneficiary?" ”

"You're right, the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty is the gentry."

"However, it can only be used as a cornerstone, not a stumbling block to me, let alone turn over and press on my head!"

Zhu Ying understood that after the emperor was worried that the gentry had huge interests, he would become a chaebol family.

"Your Majesty may set heavy taxes and use them to hold the gentry hostage." Zhu Ying's method is the best.

The great beauty is full of consortia, and the government is still as stable as Mount Tai? Because of the superior tax collection system, the consortium is used as wool.

When Emperor Taizu framed the Ming Dynasty, he also took this road, leaning heavily on the gentry and treating them as fat sheep.

As a result, Emperor Taizong was forced to compromise with the gentry in order to stabilize the throne.

The kings of later generations were short-lived ghosts, so they gave the gentry a chance to become bigger.

"Write your thoughts out."

"Obey the order!" Zhu Ying wanted to speak and stopped.

"Let's eat."

After breakfast, he sent Zhu Ying to write a recital, and he thought about the gentry while watching the recital.

In the evening, Xiang Zhong and Liang Cheng entered the dragon boat to meet them.

The two of them came from the sea.

The results of the battle were reported first, as well as the training level of the sailors, and the important thing was the combat strength of the sailors.

Zhu Qiyu listened carefully: "I want to form six major water divisions, with a quota of more than 600,000. ”

"The first is the Bohai Sea Division, stationed in Tianjin, with a number of 100,000 troops, six treasure ships, 1,000 large ships, and a number of medium and small ships."

"Xiang Zhong, I want you to serve as the chief officer of the Bohai Sea Division, responsible for all maritime affairs in the Bohai Bay, Beizhili, Liaoning, and Shandong provinces."

"And allow you to build a garrison in Qingdao, and if there is military affairs in the south, you can go out of Qingdao to help the south."

"At the same time, a military port has also been built in Dalian, which can rush to the aid of North Korea at any time."

As soon as Xiang Zhong heard about the six treasure ships, he knew that the emperor was going to have a big deal.

Temperate an army of 100,000, what a high authority?

But Xiang Zhong felt full of responsibility, and he knelt on the ground: "The minister will do his best to take charge of the Bohai Sea Master for His Majesty." ”

"I will also set up a North Korean naval division, stationed on Tsushima Island, with a real amount of 100,000, and be responsible for the security of the entire east and west of Korea."

"I haven't thought about the candidates for the general army."

"Change Songjiang Mansion to Shanghai Mansion, and establish the Shanghai Navy Division, with a real army of 150,000 troops, which is the same as the regulation of the Bohai Sea Division."

"Liang Xuan, you are here to serve as the chief officer of the Shanghai Navy Division!"

"Responsible for military affairs along the coasts of Jiangsu, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang."

"Change Haizhou, Jiangsu Province to Lianyungang, and establish a military port on the island of Lianyungang; In addition to Yancheng and Fengli, build a military port; In Zhoushan, Ningbo Prefecture, a military port was established; Military ports were established in Haimenwei, Taizhou Prefecture, and Panshiwei, Wenzhou Prefecture. ”

"The important tasks of the entire southeast coast, I have all placed them on your shoulders!"

Liang Xuan knew that the emperor would give him a big surprise if he hid him for two years.

Sure enough, the entire southeast coastal sailors are on Liang Xuan, and Liang Xuan will soon make great contributions, and it is a matter of time before he is crowned the Duke of the Kingdom.

"Thank you, Your Majesty for reuse!" Liang Xuan kowtowed.

"The Fujian Navy Division was built in Fujian, and military ports were built in all coastal provinces, with a real amount of 70,000 people."

The candidate Zhu Qiyu has not yet been decided.

The reason why there are few people is mainly because there is no war in Fujian for the time being, and it will expand into Taiwan. b. After that, the line is added again.

"On the coast of Guangzhou, the South China Sea Naval Division will be established, with its garrisons in Guangzhou and Gaibao Island (Annam), and military ports will be built along the coast of Guangzhou, with a real amount of 150,000."

The coastal areas of Guangxi and Guangxi are very important, and Zhu Qiyu actually wants Fang Ying to do it.

But Fang Ying is still supervising Liangguang, and she lacks skills, so she can only transfer people from the center.

You have to send a capable minister, you can't use all the lords.

"After recovering Jiaozhi, I will also build a Jiaozhi Water Division, with a real amount of 100,000, to be responsible for military affairs on the entire Indochina Peninsula!"

Six major naval divisions, with a total of 670,000 soldiers.

This number will grow in the future.

The two chief military officers who have now been decided are Liang Xuan and Xiang Zhong.

Xiang Zhong was slightly disappointed in his heart, next, the Bohai Sea Division War was the least, and he had the least chance of meritorious service.

"It's said that it's the six major sailors, but in fact, there are more than 20,000 people in your hands."

Zhu Qiyu laughed at himself: "The top priority now, one is the Japanese on the southeast coast, and the other is to use Tsushima Island as a springboard to enter the Japanese country. ”

"So, Xiang Zhong and Liang Xuan, you two have the heaviest burden on your shoulders."

Xiang Zhong's eyes lit up, as long as he did well, then the South China Sea Sailor would have his palm print in the future.

From the number of troops, we know that the two major naval divisions of the South China Sea and Shanghai will be the top priority in the future.

The sailor drove south.

Zhu Qiyu stopped in Jinan Mansion for seven days before the dragon boat went south.

In late October.

Lu Gao's recital came, after Lu Gao's investigation, Siam King La Meixuan is indeed suspected of boasting, Siam does have a mu of 30 stone of land, but very little, as for the mu of 18 stone of land, it is not much, Siam mu of 4 stone of land is very much.

However, it is true that there was no great famine in Siam.

The fact that the people of Siam were lazy and did not produce but did not go hungry showed that the land was suitable for farming.

There are not many important ministers who serve with him, but they are all young talents valued by the emperor, such as He Qiaoxin, He Yi, Qiu Jun, Peng Shao and others.

"Your Majesty, according to what Commander Lu said, the Siamese people have not cultivated intensively, and there are even many barren fields, so they are no longer hungry."

Qiu Jun was speechless: "The minister sees that what the King of Siam said is actually true, but the people are not intensively cultivated. ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What do you think?" ”

Qiu Jun rolled his eyes: "Of course it's down." ”

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "By the way, why didn't the cabinet approve it?" ”

He wondered, how could he border Siam?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the cabinet thinks that it should be brought down, so the approval is also a waste of pen and ink." Qiu Junjing told the truth.

Zhu Qiyu disagreed: "The cabinet is becoming more and more lazy, and if you don't approve it, you can fool me, haha." ”

"Your Majesty, what do you think the King of Siam wants to offer rice seeds?" He Qiaoxin spoke.

He Qiaoxin is He Wenyuan's son, this person is very extraordinary, even Hu Hu and Yu Qian are full of praise for him.

"Collect, Siam is short of horses, let the Taifu Temple give some Mongolian horses, give a hundred."

Zhu Qiyu is now a horse.

The horse farms in the Ming Dynasty are being demolished one after another, and the grasslands will also be changed to cultivated land.

In Rehe, Ningxia, Hanzhou, Shanxi and other places, more than a dozen large horse farms and more than 100 small horse farms have been set up.

Today, Daming has more than 400,000 good horses, 120,000 stallions, and more than one million horses.

So many horses, of course, were not bought.

Rather, it is the capture of war.

There are more cattle and sheep, and by the end of the year, many, many sheep will be killed, and these sheep will be made into bacon and stored.

"Your Majesty, how about a horse?" Qiu Jun asked with a smile.

"Why are you so picky? If you want to do business with Siam, give us more good horses, and let them buy horses from us......"

Qiu Jun knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, horses should not be sold lightly!" ”

"Siam is rich in rice, if you sell them war horses and firearms, they will become the overlords of Central and South China, how difficult is it for the Ming Dynasty to defeat them?"

He Qiaoxin, He Yi, and Peng Shao followed to object.

"Well, give me some good horses, and then give me more horses."

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Qiu Jun kowtowed.

"Tell Lu Gao that I am not interested in elephants, and I don't need them for a long time, so let them offer more rice and fruits."

Feng Xiao asked the celebrant to draw up the holy decree.

"Urge Xia Xun, it's time for Jiaozhi to return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, before the next rainy season comes, I want the whole of Annan!"

Zhu Qiyu was a little dissatisfied with Xia Xun's watching the fire from the other side.

If you don't annex Annam soon, you won't be able to open the road to Siam, and without the coercion of the heavenly soldiers, Siam won't be afraid of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, there is only a corner of the country left, what should we do after we annex Annan?" He Qiaoxin spoke.

"The royal family of Champa is quite deferential."

Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Just return to Daming, pick a place, seal an earl, and keep it." ”

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system of Taizu, you can't be knighted unless you have military merits!"

Qiu Jun objected: "Moreover, there is no more territory left in the city country, but he wants to be honored as a hereditary earl, and the Ming Dynasty has suffered a loss!" ”

He Qiaoxin also said: "How difficult it is to seal the Earl of Daming, they are all brought back by the generals with their lives, and they knighted the royal family of Zhancheng, how many should they be sealed?" And what about the other royal families in the future? Are they all knighted? In that case, is the title of Daming still valuable? ”

Zhu Qiyu groaned: "What do you think? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thought that he would be awarded Wuxun and bring it back to Beijing to raise him." He Qiaoxin is enough to fool people.

Wu Xun is a loose official, not hereditary.

The key is that if the royal family of Zhancheng is dissatisfied and flees back to the country to rebel, the headache is still the Ming Dynasty.

He Yi, who had never spoken, sneered twice: "Why doesn't Your Majesty cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”

Zhu Qiyu looked at him: "Go on." ”

"When the time is to recover Jiaozhi, you can buy General Annan, conquer the territory of the Champa State, and slaughter the whole family of the King of Champong!"

He Yi sneered: "Then if the city country lasts for a hundred years, the royal family's money will inevitably be expensive, so why not collect it for your own use and use it as military funds?" ”

"Lord He, the king of Zhancheng is quite deferential to Daming......" Peng Shao said in a low voice.

"Deferential? When Da Ming lost his hand, why didn't he help? ”

"I am strong and strong, he is naturally obedient!"

"When my Ming Dynasty declines, will they still be submissive?"

He Yi said sharply: "Your Majesty once said that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different. ”

"Since he is obedient to the king of Zhancheng, why not fully sinicize? Choosing a Chinese name in Chinese? Why don't you ever offer Champa rice seeds? What are their intentions? ”

"Humph! The minister thought that the king of Champa was just a fake obedience! ”

"What does the court mean by raising such a moth?"

"It's better to use the Annan Army to do this thing extinctionally!"

He Yi is really ruthless enough.

But to Zhu Qiyu's appetite, he nodded: "Will the people of Zhancheng miss their king?" ”

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"The minister thinks that we can induce the Annan army to go south and cause chaos in the entire Zhancheng country, and then we can pacify the Annan army."

"As a result, the entire Champa state is in ruins."

"Those people don't have one out of ten, and those who survive will be grateful to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will accept its land and accept its people, isn't it happy?"

"In this way, there will be no stubborn forces to trouble, and the city will become a blank land, and it will be able to completely integrate into the Ming Dynasty."

He Yi knelt on the ground: "Please adopt it Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Qiyu stood up and helped him up with his own hands: "I am very pleased that you can straighten your heart." ”

"I am the parent of the Han people, and my heart will always be on the side of the Han people!"

"You are an official of the Han people, and your heart naturally has to be towards our own people, so you are a good official!"

"We are a family, being kind to outsiders is cruel to ourselves!"

Qiu Jun listened from the sidelines, rolling his eyes wildly, you are too obvious, right? Can't you install it?

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Qiu Jun knelt on the ground and shouted.

The Ming Dynasty has always practiced Han nationalism.

It hasn't changed.

"The minister is a Han in life, and a Han ghost in death."

"Therefore, the minister destroyed the city with a word, but he had a clear conscience."

"Because the minister is Han! Fighting a war is dignified, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten, that's right! ”

He Yi kowtowed respectfully, his face full of calmness.

"I need officials like you."

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "He Yi, you will write what you want into a concerto, send it to the center, and send it to Annan by your inner minister's decree and hand it over to Xia Xun." ”

"Obey the order!"

He Yi also wanted to be promoted, and he felt the emperor's pulse, so he naturally had to say it along the way.

Just ask the court officials, who is not proud of the Han people in their hearts?

It's just that it hasn't been punctured.

"Send some guards to the people."

"I want to see the real situation of the people."

"Tell the guards not to be fooled, some things are done by local officials."

"I don't want to look at these fakes, I want to see the real ones."

"Also, who dares to hide the truth and collude with local officials, he will get out of the palace as soon as possible, and his father won't have to do it, go back to his hometown to retire."

Zhu Qiyu just wanted to see the real folk, the real Ming.

The days on the water are very boring.

As for the painting boat man who happened to be an artist, he didn't even think about it, which river the emperor walked, the whole river was under martial law, and it was impossible for anyone to appear.

The sailors who guarded it, the horse troops on both sides of the river, and the local guards were not vegetarians.

And in North Korea.

Wang Yue received the approval of the center.

Across the Bohai Bay, the information was transmitted by sea, reducing the distance between North Korea and the center.

The center asked him to organize the Korean people, organize the households, leave the household registration, redivide the land, and let Sun Kefa severely punish the Korean gentry, and use the wealth of North Korea to relieve the difficulties of North Korea.

Then a group of gentry were transferred from the Ming Dynasty to North Korea and settle down.

This group of gentry has to come out of Jiangnan.

He also moved a group of people from the north into the court.

The rainy season in Annam has passed.

The situation in Annan has also become stable, Li Sicheng failed in the political struggle, and it is rumored that Li Sicheng is crazy, and now it is Ding Lie who is in charge.

Ding Lie has sent an envoy to negotiate with Da Ming, asking Da Ming to return the northern part of Annan to Annan.

Xia Xun is still in Hongji.

Hongji has been built as a military port base.

Now the two prefectures in Guangxi have been fully divided, and heavy troops have been set up along the river.

The name of the city, which is also the name of the continuation of the Yongle Dynasty, is all written in Han script, and the Ming dragon flag is inserted.

The bureaucratic system in various localities has been basically structured.

Including the Guangxi Governance Office, which has been transferred from Guilin to Nanning.

700,000 Guangxi natives were resettled in the newly built two prefectures, and 200,000 were forcibly disarmed and returned to the fields for crimes.

Because he was guilty, he did not serve as a clerk, but only as a local soap official and other official positions, but the discharge salary was paid.

They were given land in the local area, and their daughters-in-law were also allocated, and even an Annam slave was given to them, and if they did not want to be soap workers, the bank financed a loan and started some small business.

The central government strictly ordered that meritorious officials must be properly settled.

The main fear is that these people will be dissatisfied and rebel among the people.

Throughout the summer, Fang Ying was reorganizing the military system.

Eliminate all those who are in the army who eat and wait for death, who are greedy for life and fear death.

There were 470,000 men left in the Guangxi army.

Guangxi's population doubled to more than seven million in one year, of which 1.9 million are babies.

They are all the children of soldiers.

Even, the center encouraged soldiers to have children, and gave a silver coin as a child subsidy.

This has led to a soaring rate of concubines in the army, and the rate of giving birth to children is increasing.

Xia Xun didn't see through the center's thoughts at the beginning.

But recently, he's seen through.

The center is obviously worried that the Guangxi wolf soldiers will have a sharp decrease in combat effectiveness because of their better lives, so they will use the method of encouraging childbirth to make them poor!

Don't think it's good to have a baby, give a subsidy of a silver coin.

Just this one silver coin is not enough for a child to spend a year!

What's more, Guangxi has become a place where commerce and trade are developed in the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of infant and young children's industries are developing wildly and are squeezing out the purses of the wolf soldiers.

Forcing the wolf soldiers to go to the battlefield to make meritorious deeds, earn military salaries and get rewards, it is best to go out and plunder a wave.

Recently, the army is clamoring for Fang Ying to fight.

After Xia Xun understood this operation, he shuddered.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs.

When the center sees Dingkou as an object, then what is the difference between the center and the ruthless heaven and earth?

The divine decree urged by the center came.

went south, embezzled all of Annam, and became a matter of course.

Xia Xun also thought about it deeply, the emperor toured south, and the gentry in Jiangnan must be divided into some to rebuild Jiaozhi Province.

It's a ring, a ring.

The envoys of Annam came again and asked the Ming to return the northern part of Annam.

Even though he knew that the Ming Dynasty had even changed the name of the city, and the people of Annam were forced to take the name of Han and leave their household registration, the Annam court still spared no effort and kept sending people to negotiate.

And Bian Yong's son, Bian Yong, with the emperor's reward, has just arrived in Hongji.

After a secret conversation with Xia Xun, Bian Yong crossed the river and came to Hanoi and canonized Li Sicheng as the king of Annam.

At the canonization ceremony, Ding Lie's face twitched, the emperor of the Central Plains didn't want Annan to stop!

Li Sicheng didn't see anything unusual.

He just respectfully accepted the holy decree, and then he shut himself up in the palace and refused to come out.

That night, Ding Lie found Bian Yong and got straight to the point.

"Lord Ding, Your Majesty is thinking about King Annan." Bian Yongpi didn't smile at the meat.

"What conditions do you need for the Ming Dynasty to be willing to return the northern territory?"

Bian Yong looked at Ding Lie, still dreaming?

"Da Ming waved his army south, and Annan will not be caught!"

"If you really fight, you won't be able to finish this battle in a few years!"

"Does Da Ming just want an Annan who has been scorched into a scorched earth?"

Ding Lie was really angry.

"Lord Ding, can it be regarded as these words below, is it Annan's declaration of war on the Ming Dynasty?" Bian Yong asked.

Ding Lie directly changed color: "You! ”

"If you dare to offend Your Majesty Longwei, don't say that beating Annan into scorched earth means smoothing out the land of Annan, and Daming can do it."

Bian Yong said with a smile: "However, Your Majesty is a holy monarch and takes great care of his subjects. ”

"If Annan sends 10,000 ships of grain, the Ming Dynasty can temporarily suspend the army."

Ding Lie was dumbfounded, I shipped the grain to you and asked you to beat me?

Bien Yong also did not stop in Hanoi.

After resting for a few days, he continued southward and sent an envoy to occupy the city.

However, just a few days after Bian Yong left, on the ninth day of October, the Ming army stationed on the other side of the river began to move, and on October 17, the Ming army went south by boat.

Ding Lie sent an envoy to ask why the Ming army was heading south, but the Ming army did not respond.

He sent his troops to attack him.

The two sides exchanged fire.

Xia Xun had 30,000 wolf soldiers in his hands, all of them musketeers, and 7,000 soldiers were equipped with arquebuses.

Annan's soldiers attacked and harassed once, but were repelled once by Xia Xun.

It took three days for the first Ming army to land, and it was only after copying the back road of the Annan army that the large army landed.

Xia Xun mastered the ferry.

Subsequently, the Ming army crossed the river one after another.

In this battle, Fang Ying personally supervised the battle, leading a total of 300,000 troops.

Fang Ying was divided into six armies, each with 30,000 people, and after crossing the river, he first controlled the cities east of Hanoi, Hai Duong, Quang An, Hai Phong, Jian An, and Tai Binh.

Xia Xun this road, surrounded Hanoi, the capital of the king of Annam.

Fang Ying personally led 120,000 Chinese troops, arrived in Hanoi on October 27, and surrounded Hanoi.

Hanoi's fortified city, if it is fought hard, it will require 100,000 troops to besiege the city, and it will not be able to defeat it in a few years.

Fang Ying was not in a hurry.

The Chinese army was split again, and three armies were split, each with 30,000 troops, and conquered Shanxi, Dongmu, Lesong, Langda, Wen'an, Hangai and other cities to the west.

Make the western city, bordering the Ming Dynasty.

And all the way to the south.

At the same time, Xia Xun led his headquarters to the south, attacking Hedong, Hexi, and Henan, turning Hanoi into an isolated city.

Ding Lie, who was in charge, received a report of defeat.

The whole person is stupid, why is the Ming army so fast?

The 330,000 Ming troops, after besieging Hanoi, dispersed and began to raid all the nearby cities, occupying all the empty cities.

Annam's army, to the west and south, was on the defensive side of Laos, Cambodia, and Champa.

The speed of the Ming army moving south was too fast, but Ding Lie did not transfer troops back to the defense, because if he returned to the defense, he would give the Ming army a chance to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

The Ming army clearly wanted to encircle the point and send reinforcements to attack the Annan army that came to the rescue.

"Minami Hunt!"

Dinh Lie made the most favorable decision to abandon Hanoi and run south.

Don't look at the Ming army's rapid gain of battlefield advantage, the Annan army did not receive losses, once Ding Lie went south, the whole game of chess was alive, and the initiative returned to Ding Lie's hands.

Ding Lie brought down Li Sicheng, the entire court was his hall, the benefits were highlighted, there was no other voice, he ordered to go south, ordered to forbid, immediately packed up his things, and prepared to go south.

Ding Lie was even more ruthless, and sent troops to loot all the people of Annan in the city, and burned those who couldn't be taken away, and threw these people who were waiting to be fed to Daming, and let Daming raise them.

There were only 30,000 Ming troops besieging Hanoi, and they couldn't be encircled at all.

In Ding Lie's hands, the Annan army was around 170,000 and successfully broke through.

In a battle with the Ming army in Hedong, Ding Lie burned the city of Hedong, looted along the way, and burned a large area of arable land, fortified the wall and cleared the wilderness, and wantonly spread rumors of the massacre of the Ming army.

Originally, Annan was his basic plate, but Dante didn't want it, so he burned all the money and grain, leaving a mess for Daming.

The method of burning farmland and looting the people was used to slow down the southward movement of the Ming army.

Ding Lie is really amazing.

However, Ding Lie became rich, and the wealth of the entire royal capital, the 170,000 army, drove the carriage that spread for dozens of miles, and retreated southward in a winding way.

and burned the city along the way, and continued to loot.

After a few battles, Ding Lie found that the Ming army was not strong, so he began to attack the cities occupied by the Ming army, and several cities changed hands, and he began to loot and burn.

Burn and loot along the way.

As a result, in Henan, a nail was hit.

Xia Xun had just conquered Henan, and before he could catch his breath, he heard that the city behind him was robbed by Ding Lie and burned down.

"Ding Lie is really a ruthless person."

"It's Da Ming who has fulfilled him!"

"If it weren't for Da Ming to help him eradicate dissidents, why would he be the only one voice in the Annan court?"

"didn't give him time to fight in court, but let him occupy the initiative on the battlefield."

Xia Xun sighed: "It's really decisive, if Ding Lie is allowed to escape and integrate the western and southern military forces, the Annan army will reach more than 400,000 troops!" ”

"There will be a fierce battle at that time, it is best to block him in Hanoi and surround him to send reinforcements!"

In the past, it was the Ming army that fought, and Annan defended.

Ding Lie gave up Hanoi, and it became the Ming army to defend and Annam to fight, so as to seize the initiative.

Don't forget, Ding Lie is a powerful minister, he is not the emperor, what does the life or death of the people have to do with him? Anyway, with Li Sicheng, an unlucky bastard, making an edict against himself, he would be happy.

Xia Xun was analyzing it, and his subordinates came to report that the Annan army was coming.

Ding Lie was very provocative, with the heads of the Ming army hanging on the barrel of the gun, and he came violently.

"Kaesong Field Battle!"

Xia Xun is not stupid, but the city has just been defeated, several city walls have been damaged, and the defense of the city will be defeated.

Besides, the Ming army was in full swing.

30,000 against 170,000 is not without the power of self-preservation.

Ding Lie saw the gate of Henan City open, and suddenly felt that this Ming army was not simple, and he found that this Ming army had cavalry.

The cavalry guarded the flanks and surrounded the infantry in the middle.

When approaching the Annan army, the cavalry dispersed, and the musketeers opened fire on the Annan army.

When the Annam army counterattacked, the cavalry fired arrows to give the musketeers time to reload their ammunition.

Round by round of muskets were finished.

The Annam army suffered few casualties, but its morale plummeted.

They couldn't fight the Ming army at all, they were obviously infantry, but the Ming army was protected by cavalry, and they didn't give the Annan cavalry a chance to counterattack.

When shooting arrows at the cavalry, the infantry spread their wooden shields to shield the cavalry.

The Ming army was in a battle formation like a wheel, with rounds of muskets.

The fight made Annan's army angry and forced to retreat.

He had just retired.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard in the city, and a troop of heavily armed cavalry galloped from the city, numbering only about two thousand.

But under the crotch were all good horses, well armed, with bows, crossbows, firearms, and even a spear with a hook hanging from it.

The cavalry galloped across the land, making a deafening sound.

Annan's army panicked when it landed.

Ding Lie was dumbfounded, why is this Ming army so strong?

If he wanted to let the infantry army get out of the battlefield quickly, he could only send his own cavalry team, and the number of Annan cavalry was about 7,000, which was the old capital of the ministers.

Annam's horses are shorter than those of Mongolia.

Mongolian horses are shorter, and Annam horses are even shorter.

Compared with Mongolian horses, there is an illusion that a father sees his son.

The Annam cavalry is not weak, these are the families of the Annam nobles, they are all fed with silver, and they are well-equipped.

However, their tactics lagged behind.

When the two armies approached, the Ming cavalry shot arrows first, and the An cavalry also shot arrows to shoot back.

And when he got closer, Ming Qi suddenly took out a musket, and An Qi also knew about the musket, but they were still in the stage of firearms, and Ming Qi used an arquebus that could be aimed.

When he was stunned, Ming Qi opened fire.

The musket of the Ming cavalry does not hit people, but horses!

Specifically hit the horse.

An Qi was forced to turn his horse's head and refused to hedge with Ming Cai.

The Ming cavalry quickly dispersed, forming small flags, cutting the An cavalry, and then some used muskets, some used wooden guns, and cooperated with each other.

Anqi quickly fell into the downwind, and many cavalrymen were knocked off their horses, and then two wooden spears hooked a man like hooks, and the horses were dragged on the ground.

If you look closely, you will see that there is a hook-like white blade on the wooden gun.

The cooperation is very tacit.

Such a battle formation requires a lot of time to train and run in before it can achieve initial results, and cavalry training is very expensive.

"It's over!"

Ding Lie found that it was not good, and the combination of hot weapons and cold weapons was a new tactic that Liao Zhuang came up with.

The main general of the Ming cavalry is Liao Zhuang!

Ding Liemingjin withdrew his troops.

But this is the battlefield.

The Ming army had the advantage, and Xia Xun ordered to ride forward and press forward to cover and kill the Annan army.

After fighting for more than an hour, the Annan army was defeated.
