Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took Yang Zhong, an official of the Ministry of Rites who had returned from Guangxi, to report to Zhu Gaochi about the situation in Annan.

"Before the minister went to Guangxi, the king of Gaoyang County had sent local officials to Annan to understand the situation, which was the knot between Annan's courtiers and the elderly."

The official document in Yang Zhong's hand was forwarded by the eunuch, and after Zhu Gaochi read it, he was a little confused.

After visiting the ministers and squires of Annam, it is written in the pleadings that the royal family of Annam is indeed the last one.

"The Chen family's 'branch is destroyed, and there is nothing to inherit', which is inherited by the Hu family."

"Who is this Hu Shi? There is also the Hu family, who claims to be the nephew of the Chen family, and was proclaimed the king, please count my imperial grandfather to canonize him, on what basis? Can you be crowned a king just by virtue of benevolence? ”

Zhu Gaochi didn't know what was going on.

There was indeed a coup d'état in Annan in history, why did the people sent at the moment find out the news, but it was the royal family of Annan who was the last one.

What you see with your own eyes can't be fake.

So Zhu Gaochi was blinded, all the plans and expectations were wrong.

Annam was not an easy place to conquer, because the agrarian civilization would form its own civilization, and it was easier to share the same hatred than other regions.

The failure of the Mongol invasion of Japan had nothing to do with luck, it was entirely because of the poor navigation technology, and it was most likely the collective work of the Han craftsmen.

Zhu Di organized seven voyages to the Western Ocean, and the size of the fleet was larger than that of the Mongol invasion of Japan, and the routes were more complicated and unfamiliar, but none of them had an accident.

Similarly, the Mongols invaded Annam three times, and Annam repelled the Mongols in a real way, although there were geographical reasons, but the determination to resist shows how resolute it was.

When Zhu Di recovered Annan, although the process was repeated, it was successful, because Annan's resistance was not strong.

The reason for the failure was that the local Chinese elite was not properly absorbed.

The productivity of the Ming Dynasty is higher than that of Annam, and without policy support, the local elite class cannot compete with the elite of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in Zhu Gaochi's plan, Annan is mainly political, and the degree of fighting in the same room is reduced.

As the last haven of Chinese civilization, Annam has made great contributions in history.

The remnants of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty all got a good living environment in Annam.

It's just that during the remnants of the Song Dynasty, the ruling class of Annam was Chinese, and during the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, Annam was divided into north and south.

In the areas that formerly occupied the city, the ruling class was Chinese, and the ruling class in the former Annam region was no longer Chinese.

Therefore, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were given a relaxed environment in the southern region, where they could be officials and do business, which was no different from the previous country.

However, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were required to change their customs in the northern region, and there were many restrictions, and the living environment was not relaxed.

This is the importance and difference of the same lineage.

When the people on the mainland have something, they have nothing to ask for repayment, and it is always the overseas people who vigorously lend a helping hand, and the rest of the groups will only stretch out their magic hands.

Then the moment.

Zhu Gaochi will inevitably treat the Chinese in Annam as if they were his own people, rather than being governed by foreign peoples, in short, not as hard-line as he does with other countries and regions.

What made Zhu Gaochi most embarrassed was that if he wanted to conquer Southeast Asia, he would inevitably need to master Annan and use Annan as a pedal to penetrate his forces into the periphery of various countries.

Weaken the courage of other countries to resist, and reduce the obstacles to the expansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, whether the current king of Annan ascended to the throne in a coup d'état or was proclaimed to the throne is very different for Zhu Gaochi's obstacles.

Historically, the king of Annam ascended to the throne in a coup d'état, and the current king, according to the information learned by the minister, was proclaimed to the throne, that is, won the hearts of the people.

Zhu Gaochi had to wonder what went wrong.

Neither Lu Zhen nor Yang Zhong dared to answer.

Because the content of the pleadings is indeed somewhat incredible.

Annam is not a small country, the king of the lord of a country, there is no shortage of women, how can it be so easy to "fall into oblivion".

Even if there are no sons-in-law and cousins to inherit, how can wastewater flow into outsiders' fields?

But if you want to say that the pleadings are fake, and the officials sent by the king of Gaoyang County have specially checked it, you can't see it with the naked eye.

"The minister, please envoy Annan."

The superior had a question, and he couldn't help but answer, Yang Zhong could only say cautiously, choosing to run hard again.

Zhu Gaochi agreed.

Fortunately, the railway was opened to Guilin, Guangxi, otherwise these two trips would have been mixed up in a year, and now it only takes more than a month, and most of the time is wasted in Annan.

For a month or two, Zhu Gaochi could afford to wait.

Only after recovering Annan can his requirements for other countries be implemented, otherwise the emperor will be far away, and who cares who you are.

Even if you send a fleet to clean up one by one, after you finish cleaning up, how many years have passed, only by shocking the whole at once, so that people dare not refuse, is the fastest efficiency.

Absorbing the elites of other countries who are interested in Chinese civilization is also one of Zhu Gaochi's goals, and blindly slaughtering is not the right way and cannot last long.

Guangxi.

Guilin.

In the Jingjiang Palace, Zhu Gaoxu was already well, and according to the explanations of the doctors in Jinzhou, he was doing a small amount of activities in the courtyard.

After the ghost gate was closed, Zhu Gaoxu's temperament became calmer, like a sword in its sheath.

Yang Zhong visited the king of Gaoyang County.

"Big brother has doubts about Annan's pleadings?"

Zhu Gaoxu narrowed his eyes, "Do you guess that the official is lying, and what is he for?" ”

"No one knows what the situation is, so Rong Waichen will go on a trip in person." Yang Zhong did not admit that it was unreasonable for officials to tell lies.

"The king of this county knows that the eldest brother wants to recover Annan, and he sent people to Annan in a hurry last time, this time you go to Annan, you have to make more friends with more people and have an in-depth understanding of the traffic situation in Annan."

Zhu Gaoxu did not embarrass Yang Zhong, and said: "If you can do your best, you still have to put your own safety first." ”

"Obey the order of the king of Gaoyang County." Yang Zhong said.

Familiar with the road.

It is still the original squad escort, but the specifications are much larger, because Yang Zhong was sent by the imperial court and represents the imperial court.

Annan had already received the news and sent a minister to greet him.

Enter the territory of Annam.

The mission was going well, as if everything was normal, but it was making Yang Zhong more and more confused.

At night.

Yang Zhong gathered everyone together, and outside were Annan's soldiers.

"Is this route different from the last one?" Yang Zhong asked the sentry officer.

The Sentinel nodded.

"There weren't many people who came to Annam last time, but they passed through a lot of cities, and they were warmly received everywhere, but now they seem to be taking a remote road."

Yang Zhong changed color.

"Won't it?"

The deputy envoy guessed what Yang Zhong was thinking, and he didn't believe it, what was the difference between Annan daring to do this and rebellion.

Yang Zhong didn't know what the problem was, but he sensed the danger, this famous diplomat in history was not a mediocre person.

On the issue of updates, because some book friends said that the recent update time is unstable, so I specifically said that the update at six o'clock in the afternoon every day remains the same, at least one chapter, and the update at other times, according to the coherence of the content and plot, or sent out separately, or sent together at six o'clock in the afternoon, to ensure that more than 9,000 words per day, such an update plan, do you think it is okay for book friends? Or like the beginning, send it together at six o'clock in the afternoon every day?
