Li Qingsong had no effective means to stop Lu Yu's insistence, and he could only object to Lu Yu's punishment.

After all, Lu Yu was right, here he was the governor.

But three hours later, when it was getting light.

There was a piece of news that shocked the entire expeditionary force.

Last night, that is, when the attack on Thang Long Mansion was carried out, the reserve force of more than 5,000 people led by Xiong Tingbi, the deputy governor of the expeditionary force, was attacked by a small local force in Annam when passing through the southern foot of Qiongshan.

"Jiaozhi Nanban, if you don't use thunder and anger, it's not enough to deter Xiaoxiao!" After receiving the news, Lu Yu was immediately furious: "From Bac Ninh City to Thang Long Mansion, all the Annan people and adult men have been executed, and all the women have been taken back to China!! ”

"Lord Lu!" Li Qingsong was shocked when he heard this: "Absolutely not! ”

"Master Li, at this time, do you still want a woman's kindness?" Lu Yu frowned and looked at Li Qingsong: "If the news of Xiong Tingbi's death is transmitted back to the imperial court, then even if you and I immediately turn the entire Annan into Chinese territory, most of the credit will be erased!" ”

Nearly 3,000 people were killed and wounded, and the deputy governor was killed.

Expedition to Annam, if such a result is presented to Parliament.

What awaits the two of them is not only the accountability of the parliament, but also the pressure of public opinion from the Chinese people.

When has the parliament ever suffered such a defeat since its establishment?

"Xia Guan thinks that the main target should be the tribal forces that attacked Lord Xiong, rather than expanding the attack area to the entire Annan, in this case, how can we rule and gain a foothold?" In Li Qingsong's heart, he couldn't approve of such a large-scale approach to civilians.

Execution, this is extremely hurtful.

"What about you? See it that way, too? Lu Yu's eyes swept over everyone.

"Students think that if it is to shock people's hearts and show meritorious deeds, they can erect a monument in Tiannan to pay tribute to their dead comrades and heroes, which can not only deter the people of Annan, but also show the Chinese temperament and let the people remember!" Ding Kuangshao, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly spoke: "If the punishment is inflicted, it may be counterproductive, and it will not be easy to rule. ”

When Lu Yu and Li Qingsong heard this, they glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of appreciation.

"This statement is okay, make meritorious contributions with a monument, and remember things with a monument! Stand up for virtue and meritorious service! Lu Yu patted his thigh: "Ding Xiaosheng, your suggestion is really good!" ”

"But," Lu Yu's face suddenly turned grim, and he said with a straight face: "The tribe that attacked Xiong Tingbi must send a large army to exterminate it, otherwise, it will not be enough to establish its authority!" The rest can be talked about later! ”

"Master Li, what do you think?" Lu Yu looked at Li Qingsong, who was sitting on the side.

"As long as it is not a large-scale punishment, this official has no suggestions for exterminating one or two tribes, and the barbarian tribes should also be purified." Li Qingsong picked up the tea, took a sip, and spoke, killing one or two tribes, and it was also gently fluttering.

"Then it's decided," Lu Yu glanced at everyone: "In the past few days, the warrants of those noble tribes and civil and military officials in Annan have been gathered, and now the overall situation will be stabilized, as for the Li clan and the Ruan clan, they are already going to be swept into the garbage heap!" From then on, there was only the Great Council of Annan Propaganda Division! ”

With the establishment of the Annan Xuanwei Council under Lu Yu's control, a mighty and far-reaching reform unfolded in the ancient land of Jiaozhi.

Although it is far from the rule of the Central Plains, in fact, Annan still adheres to the military and political physique since Emperor Chengzu, and even the Li family was canonized by Emperor Chengzu at the beginning. Therefore, Lu Yu's reform can actually copy the work of the reform of the Beijing Parliament.

Although there was no shortage of killings and bloody repressions, in fact, a series of reforms were carried out steadily.

Of course, when it came to exterminating the tribe that attacked Xiong Tingbi, there was a little bit of an episode - the newly formed Annan Council wanted to preserve some of the tribal bloodline and pleaded with Lu Yu.

Lu Yu only replied with one sentence: "Whoever comes to intercede again will exchange the lives of his clansmen!" ”

So far, it took three months, and the entire reform was completed unusually smoothly.

At the same time, a large number of Han people in Guangxi and Guangdong also began to move forward towards Annam - on the one hand, the propaganda order issued by the Liangguang Council said that those who went south to reclaim land and settle down would be given 50 taels of Anjia silver, and the Annam Assembly would also divide a large area of land and give it to Han people for free, and each Han person could get at least 30 acres of land, as well as two Annam male slaves and three women.

On the other hand, factories and navigation have become industries that are specifically supported by the Parliament.

A large number of Han Chinese poured into Namhanseong (renamed Thang Long) to set up factories, build shipyards, acquire large acres of land, and establish a trade route connecting Annam and Huaxia.

Within half a year, there were about 300,000 Han Chinese in Nanhanseong.

In less than 20 years, this will become a real land of China!

A large number of Han Chinese wanted to establish their own commercial map on the uncultivated wasteland of the Xuanwei Division of Annam.

In November of the sixth year of the Huaxia Dynasty, the southern Han city, that is, the original Thang Long Province, the central location of the city lasted half a year, and on the location of the original imperial palace, a stone monument was erected to commemorate the Han people who were killed and wounded on the way to Annam, and Lu Yu and others carried out comprehensive and thorough reform of Annam under the instruction of the consul.

The huge stone monument with a height of 56 meters and a circumference of 17 meters is a holy place in the hearts of the entire Han people in Annam, and it is also a sharp blade to deter Xiaoxiao.

Xiong Tingbi's body has been transported back to China, and the place where he was killed has been left with a mound of clothes.

so that future generations may pay tribute.

Lu Yu rode on his horse and glanced back at the Southern Han Fortress and the Han Monument towering in the city - from now on, this place will always belong to China!

"Lord Lu, go back this time, in order to recover the credit of Annam, the first person under the consul is none other than you," Li Qingsong rode his horse and followed Lu Yu's side, and said with a smile: "Now, I have heard a lot of news, saying that the consul intends to let you serve as the speaker of the parliament in the Liangguang region after the expiration of your two terms, so as to deepen the effect of reform in the south."

The Liangguang Council includes parts of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, as well as the entire Annam region.

It can be said to be the most powerful position outside of Beijing.

It can be seen that the archons are valued.

"If there is such an honor," Lu Yu's eyes were full of excitement: "Then Lu will live up to the hopes of the ruling lord!" (End of chapter)
