Chapter 3: The Unlucky Han King

"Accurate!"

Zhu Zhanji decided to adopt Yan Keng's strategy.

At this time, the emperor had abandoned the idea of abandoning the land and decided to complete the complete control of Cochin!

And Yan Keng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He recalled his father's frequent exclamation:

"If Xuande does not abandon the land, and Jiaozhi will always be the land, then the future generations will be able to be more prosperous!"

"How many good ports and how many populous cities there are in Jiaozhi! The Red River Delta is a treasure! ”

"And if you train a navy in Jiaozhi, you can defend the south, and when the west comes from the east, you won't fight with the coastal Daming Naval Division until you hit the coast, and you can completely defend the enemy from the country!"

At that time, he didn't know what it meant, thinking that Emperor Taizong had already conquered Jiaozhi, why did his father still have such a sigh, but now he finally understood part of it.

In that case, once and for all!

In June of the first year of Xuande, the Ming army transferred 60,000 troops into Jiaozhi, plus the original Ming army garrison, with a total strength of 130,000.

The Jiaozhi Army is the opponent of the Ming Army! Whether it is quantity or quality, the Ming army has the absolute upper hand, and the soldiers in Jiaozhi only feel that they are encountering killing machines!

However, in more than a month, the beacon fire in the whole territory of Cochin has subsided, and calm has returned again.

Then, a large number of Han people from the Ming Dynasty poured into Jiaozhi and settled in some large cities.

At the same time, all the original Jiaozhi officials were summoned back to the court, and the new officials arrived, and before they came, they were severely reprimanded by the emperor, ordering them to treat the locals as Ming people.

In the prefectures and counties, the people of Jiaozhi looked at the newly arrived officials with numb eyes.

They have already felt numb to the domination of these people, and only deep despair.

But soon, they were told that the Ming had changed, that the emperor had heard of what had happened to them, that the officials who oppressed them were severely punished, and that good officials had been sent to be incorruptible.

In the eyes of the people of Jiaozhi, the light of hope was gradually ignited.

To live, no one wants to die.

And after a period of new rule in the Ming Dynasty, they were also satisfied - indeed, the Ming Dynasty made great changes.

The excesses and miscellaneous taxes were gone, and the new officials were quite benevolent, and there were teachers who came with them to teach them the written language of the Celestial Empire.

They can feel that Da Ming really regards them as his own this time.

So they also began to think of themselves as Mingren.

……

The calming of Jiaozhi made Zhu Zhanji impressed with Yan Keng, and it was proved that this Chen Guogong had a strong insight and was able to point out the problems existing in some places.

He was also very grateful to Yan Keng for standing up at a critical moment, otherwise he would not have to be infamous for abandoning the land on his back in the future.

Yan Keng already had an excellent impression in Zhu Zhanji's eyes, and all these extra points made the emperor trust him even more, almost to the point of obeying his words.

Therefore, when Zhu Zhanji turned his attention to cutting the domain, he immediately found Yan Keng to discuss, the kind of person who was only one person, which fully demonstrated his trust in this Chen Guogong.

Zhu Zhanji has endured many vassal kings for a long time.

The matter of cutting the domain, since the beginning of the establishment of the text, to Yongle determined the correct general direction, but in fact, in addition to depriving the brothers who raised troops with him, Yongle actually did not cut too many feudal kings.

Even in order to show that he was different from his nephew, some of the kings who had been cut before were recalled to the throne one by one, which made it still possible for many vassal kings to support their own troops.

Zhu Di also learned the lesson of his predecessor, even if he had the strategic policy of "seizing power and giving wealth to wealth", he still did not dare to cut the feudal clan on a large scale, and because he did not want to leave a ruthless reputation for the clan to future generations, all the vassal kings who were cut off by him were indeed notorious.

This led to the fact that until the year of Xuande, Zhu Zhanji still had the feeling of Zhu Yunwen at the beginning.

On pins and needles.

"What should I do if I want to do something to cut down the domain, but I am afraid that I will be rejected by the clan?" He stared at Yan Keng and asked.

Emperor Xuande didn't want to dirty his reputation, and like Emperor Jianwen, he ended up infamy.

However, it is imperative to cut the feudal domain.

Yan Keng was stunned for a moment, he didn't have a draft before, and you, who want to be both a table and a memorial arch, are not ordinarily difficult.

Zhu Zhanji seemed to have expected Yan Keng's reaction, and he didn't wait for him to answer, so he asked and answered himself:

"If you want to cut down the feudal domain and not tarnish your reputation, you must become famous. However, since Yongle cut the domain, the kings acted cautiously and could not catch any handles, and it was really difficult to cut the domain. ”

"But if there is a vassal king who wants to replace him with his own army, and is eventually swept away by the imperial army, and there is evidence that the rest of the vassal kings are involved, I wonder how they will react?"

Yan Keng's mind was full of thoughts, and he immediately understood what Zhu Zhanji meant.

For a while, my back was a little chilly.

This young emperor is really not as simple as it seems, although he is young on the surface, but in fact he is also scheming, and compared to his father, he is more of an emperor - ruthless!

But he was also a man who had seen the storm, and when he calmed down, he asked:

"I wonder which vassal king Your Majesty thinks has the heart of 'not being a minister'?"

"King Han." Zhu Zhanji laughed, like a vicious wolf, but his eyes were cold.

Back then, they made things difficult for their father and son, and now it's time for revenge.

"However, I still need your cooperation."

He whispered.

……

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

And Yan Ling also got the news from his son that Emperor Xuande was going to cut the domain.

The doubts that had plagued him for a long time were also solved-

is also a rebellion, why Zhu Gaoxu was so strong at the time of Jingjing, and when it came to Xuande, it was a series of confusing operations.

You must know that although Zhu Gaoxu is brutal, his bravery and good fighting are also true, and there are few people in the Yongle Dynasty who can stand out.

His Royal Highness the King of Han, but in Baigou River, he led thousands of elite horsemen to save his father, beheaded Qu Neng's father and son, Dongchang defeated Sheng Yong, Lingbi broke He Fu, and Puzikou finally broke Sheng Yong's fierce generals who arrived in Nanjing!

In a word, you can say that Zhu Gaoxu is bad, but you can't say Zhu Gaoxu.

But during the rebellion of the Xuande Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu, who was already quite skilled in business, behaved as inferior to a novice (it's you, Zhu Chenhao).

Obviously, he was as honest as a chicken after taking office, and he had been obedient in Le'an for several years, but he began to want to rebel in the Xuanzong Dynasty, which was at its peak.

is obviously quite good at fighting, but after announcing the rebellion, not a single city has been taken, not a single official has been killed, and there is not even a document proclaiming the world, which is far inferior to his descendant King Ning.

A Taiping prince can penetrate Jiangxi, and he knows that Zhu Houzhao is not his own child, and he has received the secret edict of the Queen Mother to show orthodoxy.

Obviously he has raised troops, but he surrendered inexplicably.

This is also a mystery in later generations.

And now, the situation is clear.

He was just a son, a pawn who led to the plan to cut the feudal domain.

What a big show!
