Chapter 540: The Northern Expedition to the Ming Dynasty

Spring and Palace.

The three-year-old child, under the care of Xiao Huangmen and the palace maids, spread his legs and ran on the grass, attracting Guo Cailian to look at it from time to time.

"Zhan'er is getting more and more naughty, and she can't be idle for a moment."

Although Guo Cailian was complaining, she couldn't hide the smugness on her face, which was born to her

It's a straightforward idea.

It's as simple as that.

Zhu Gaochi can understand her train of thought a little.

The second child is a daughter, Guo Cailian is not very happy, and Zhu Gaochi can understand, so she deliberately attaches importance to her daughter's performance, and she changes her attitude slightly.

Zhu Gaochi lay on a bamboo chair and ate dried fruits from a few plates next to him.

In the cradle.

The daughter who is not yet one year old is very quiet, rarely sees crying, and will cry unless she is hungry, reminding adults that she is a child who can be fed, although in the current environment, he does not need to bring it himself.

It's a good day.

His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson and his family played.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace all had smiles on their faces, and there were several new small yellow doors in the distance, and the big eunuchs did not let them approach.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes swept over, but he didn't pay much attention.

Goryeo's "filial piety" is really too enthusiastic.

At the beginning of the year, a group of little eunuchs entered the palace.

In the Goryeo coup, real power was in the hands of the two princes, and the throne was temporarily given to their childless sibling brother.

Historically, the two princes will go head-to-head this year, and their elder brother will also give the throne to the winner.

Now, under Zhu Gaochi's layout, the Jinzhou Navy broke into Goryeo and intervened in the situation in Goryeo.

With the existence of the enemy, and not daring to offend the court, but to be more stubborn, so Goryeo sent a large number of castrated boys and palace maids.

It is not a unique deed, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, North Korea had a custom to send concubines and palace maids to the Ming Dynasty.

Today's Goryeo is more deferential than in history, and when it was heard that the previous dynasty had not entered the Xiaohuangmen for several years, it took it upon itself to send a large number of them.

It's all here, and it's responsible for them to accept it.

Otherwise, if you send it back to Goryeo, the Goryeo palace will not have so many people, and the final outcome will only be starvation to death.

So Zhu Gaochi accepted these small yellow doors from Goryeo and stayed in the palace to do some chores, which was regarded as finding a place for them to eat.

The crocodile's tears are extremely moving.

Zhu Gaochi gained a good reputation.

"Husband is going to take care of him." Guo Cailian said deliberately.

"What?"

Zhu Gaochi reacted and asked subconsciously.

Guo Cailian was unhappy.

Zhu Gaochi smiled.

Guo Cailian has no scheming, her mind is on her face, and she has a good-looking appearance, which makes Zhu Gaochi feel at ease.

I'm tired from thinking all day, I don't want to go back home, and I still need to intrigue.

"Husband doesn't seem to be happy these days." Guo Cailian asked with concern.

There was only Zhu Gaochi's shadow in his eyes.

In addition to the fact that her husband has little time to accompany their mother and son, she is touching in other aspects, Guo Cailian's mind is on Zhu Gaochi, and she is more and more happy.

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"Annan's affair is a headache." Talking is very casual, just as a habit of decompression.

Be cautious when talking to others, and try not to make a mistake in a single word.

But she doesn't need it here in Guo Cailian, she can say whatever she wants, and she doesn't care about those things anyway.

"Isn't Annam our vassal country, did you make an unfilial move?" Guo Cailian asked curiously.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

It takes a lot to explain.

Really.

Seeing that her husband didn't want to explain, and Guo Cailian, who didn't care about it, didn't show any signs of asking.

Seeing that her husband really didn't want to speak, Guo Cailian looked at her son who was running in the distance again.

Zhu Gaochi pondered.

With the information he knows, combined with the current situation, how to recover Annam at the lowest cost and the most stable.

The second brother's serious illness gave Zhu Gaochi a reminder.

Some things can't be taken for granted.

The climate and geographical environment of Annam are different from those in the north.

Moreover, the railway in Guangxi has not been opened to traffic, from Guangxi to Annam, mountains, jungles, swamps, poisonous insects, mosquitoes and ants.

"The chess pieces have fallen, and it depends on God's arrangement later."

Zhu Gaochi muttered.

People are not as good as heaven, no matter how many plans there are, sometimes they have to look at the development and change of things, just like he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be seriously ill.

I can't help but care in my heart, for the two younger brothers who support him, let him do whatever he wants, Zhu Gaochi is not an iron man, and he still has a lot of feelings.

……

Guilin, Guangxi.

Jingjiang Palace.

King Jingjiang is Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew Zhu Shouqian, his father died when he was young, and he was personally raised by Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace.

Hongwu was crowned King of Jingjiang in three years, and Hongwu became a vassal in nine years.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, the vassal king brought a large number of military households to enrich the Han population and stabilize the place.

In the same way, people are not as good as heaven.

Not everyone can be like the King of Yan and the King of Chu, this King of Jingjiang is the same figure as the King of Qin, who does evil in the vassal country.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, he was recalled by Zhu Yuanzhang, cut off his title and demoted to a concubine, and punished Fengyang for farming, hoping to reform him through labor.

Seven years later, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that the transformation was successful, restored his title, and sent him to Yunnan to guard and watch his style.

The result disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang, this person is a person who has been taught repeatedly.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang recalled him again and imprisoned him in the capital, and in the first month of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, that is, the same year and month of Zhu Gaochi's arrival in the Ming Dynasty, this person died in the capital.

His eldest son, Yongle was a vassal in the sixth year of history.

So the current Jingjiang Mansion has no owner.

Zhu Gaoxu came to Guilin and stayed in Jingjiang Palace.

Zhang Fu, Yang Rong, Wang Zhen and others sent by Zhu Gaochi assisted Wang of Gaoyang County in managing military affairs in Guangxi and sent envoys to Annan.

Guangxi has a registered population of 1.5 million.

Since they are registered, they must be dominated by the Han population, mainly distributed in the central and eastern regions of Guangxi, and a small part in the western part of Guangxi, which is governed by liuguan;

The Han people in the western part of Guangxi, mainly military households, set up Taipingfu, Nanningfu, Qingyuan and other prefectures, and then set up Siming Fu, etc., to implement the merger of Tuliu.

The political envoy of the left of the Guangxi political department was none other than Yang Yong, the political envoy of the right of Shandong, who was the first senior official in other provinces to contact Zhu Gaochi and promoted the industrialization of Shandong.

Therefore, he was promoted to Guangxi by one level.

Yang Yong led the officials to welcome Zhu Gaoxu's arrival.

Zhu Gaoxu was very polite.

In his eyes, Yang Yong is his own person.

"Big brother sent you to Guangxi to reuse you." Zhu Gaoxu said proudly.

Grandpa is the emperor, father is the crown prince, and the eldest brother is the emperor's grandson.

Anyone will be proud.

Yang Yong did not underestimate the clan in front of him.

"Some people say that it is the rise and fall of the dark, and the king of this county will tell you the truth that the future court bosses will definitely have the qualifications to govern in the frontier."

Yang Yong smiled.

It seems that the imperial grandson does value this county king very much.

At the beginning of the Hongwu Dynasty, the court bigwigs were Zhu Yuanzhang's cronies, and later gradually formed a system, which began to require experience in local governance.

Today's ethos is to govern in wealthy places.

However, in the three years since His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun was in charge of the country, many people have become accustomed to the practice of the Emperor Sun.

Officials who were in charge of the frontier lands and had outstanding political achievements would be transferred to the imperial court, and it was known that it would become a common practice.

"The lower officials are in charge of Guangxi, they dare not relax, they are diligent every day, they dare not disappoint the sage court, and they dare not be ashamed of the people of Li."

"Very good."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

A few days later, the local officials in the western region of Guangxi came to the provincial capital one after another, visited the king of Gaoyang County, and reported the affairs of their own territory.

According to the suggestions of Zhang Fu, Yang Rong, Wang Zhen and others, Zhu Gaoxu received various local officials, mainly to comfort.

The officials sent by Zhu Gaochi were all carefully selected.

Yang Rong is one of the three Yangs in history, he is vigilant and sensitive, good at observing words and feelings, able to make decisions, and is old and serious, especially good at planning border affairs.

History called it "wielding a pound and swinging a blade, and making a decision when encountering problems."

He was cultivated by Zhu Gaochi in Beiping for several years and had a higher vision.

Zhang Fu is not to mention.

Go on the horse to govern the army, get off the horse to govern the country.

And Wang Zhen, a martyr of Jingjing, has the qualifications to set up a forest farm in Jinzhou, and he has long been trained.

These are all generalists.

Yang Yong is no stranger to Beiping, knowing the reputation of these people, he immediately guessed that His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince had big plans for Annan.

The situation in Annam, in addition to the military, governance is equally important, and the civil and military forces sent by the emperor's grandson are all all-rounders, so it is not difficult to guess.

Really.

Huang Guangcheng, the local prefect of Siming Mansion, was summoned by Zhu Gaoxu alone.

Huang Guangcheng was very polite.

In front of Zhu Gaoxu, he criticized the imperial court's attitude towards Annan for being too soft, and indulged Annan, so that Annan dared to wreak havoc on Siming's mansion.

"Those people are afraid of power but not virtue, and only by teaching them harshly can they be obedient."

Hearing Hu Guangcheng's words, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how to pick it up.

By the way, wouldn't he be included as well?

Hu Guangcheng dared to criticize the court so recklessly in front of himself, pointing the finger at the emperor's grandfather, but he was not respectful.

"What's going on over there in Annan?"

Zhang Fu was not led by Huang Guangcheng, and asked directly about the key.

The Han people of Annam are extremely populous.

However, because of the long history, from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were Han people who migrated in each period, and with different living environments, different ethnic groups were gradually formed, mainly Chinese.

In the southern part of Annam, the Chinese population is small, and the local indigenous people are the majority.

Later, Annam's annexation of Champong, coupled with the arrival of Western colonizers, adopted a bloody policy, and hundreds of years of de-sinicization, led to the decline of the Chinese from the status of the ruling class.

This is also one of the reasons why Annan was recovered by the Ming Dynasty, and later rebelled against self-reliance, but still declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.

The historical roots are too deep.

Even at present, Li Jichen, the actual ruler of Annam, who hates the Ming Dynasty, publicly declares that his ancestors are from Zhejiang, in order to win the support of the Chinese people.

"Li Jichen has rebelled, and he said that he would go north to attack our Daming."

Hu Guangcheng swore and said.

After Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he almost squirted out a mouthful of old tea, and hurriedly put down the teacup and looked at Hu Guangcheng in shock.

In order to let Daming send troops, he really dares to say anything.
