Several favorite concubines laid paper and ink, but Zhu Qiyu didn't really write it by himself, but asked Qianxue to write it.

This letter, sprinkled with thousands of words, can be regarded as a clear explanation of the entire plan.

It took half a day to finish writing, and Zhu Qiyu instructed: "This letter is too important, don't let outsiders handle it, let Zhao Xuan lead 5,000 battalion state guards to deliver the letter."

Be sure to let Zhao Xuan hand over the letter to Cao Guogong in person.

Nominally, it was said that the five thousand battalions of state guards would serve in front of the army. This year, the Gansu army will have a big operation, and it is normal to send troops to reinforce it, and it will not cause others to think about it.

There is no hurry, let them go slowly, and it will be delivered within three months. Then let Zhao Xuan lead these 5,000 people to fight with Cao Guogong and make some military merits. ”

Su Xi took the letter and was responsible for sealing it. Qianxue held her wrist and coquettishly: "Husband, look at it, the slave's wrist is swollen, it hurts." ”

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly hugged the beauty in his arms, held the jade wrist and kneaded it gently, and said with a smile: "I have worked hard to love the concubine, I will give Xue'er a full body massage to ensure that the concubine is served comfortably." ”

……

Since the recovery of Vietnam, Zhu Qiyu has returned to normal, staying at home every day without going out, so that others can't find a way to poison them.

Chaoyun, Duyu, Xian'er and other six imperial concubines took turns to enter the Qingliang Hall to sleep, and for the purpose of childbirth, they acted intensively.

The imperial court issued an urgent document to spread the news of the opening of Enke to the whole country.

This time, the chief examiner is very special, and it is also where Zhu Qiyu consumes most of his authority.

Zhu Qiyu chose He Yi as the main examiner, and Xu Zheng, Huang Jian, Wang Yue, and Gao Yao as the deputy examiners.

Using such a young minister as an examiner requires extreme toughness to override public opinion.

As for the considerations behind it, it is mainly for stability. This class of Jinshi and Juren must select a group of very young people, and they need to be officials in the frontier for a long time. And it will take forty or fifty years to consolidate the newly occupied frontier areas.

Forty years later, He Yi and Wang Yue have just done Zaifu, and they can still maintain a stable teacher-student relationship with this class of Jinshi and Juren.

In this way, the local and central sides can trust and support each other and jointly maintain stability in the border areas. Lest you don't know anyone when you get it, it's also a headache.

Surprisingly, there are still quite a few students who respond to this Enke, after all, it is better to be an official than not to be an official.

Unless you are particularly confident that you can be in Jingtai's fifth year of high school, most people are still willing to give Enke a try.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is September 20th.

Li Shulin, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, has rushed to Hanoi Prefecture City in Annam, which is the original Shenglong City in Tokyo.

Annan has already fallen, and it must no longer be called Tokyo, and it is not appropriate to call it Shenglong City, so Zhu Qiyu gave the name Hanoi.

Entering the governor's palace, Xu Youzhen and others warmly greeted Li Shulin.

The two sides sat down, Xu Youzhen introduced to Li Shulin, and there were Yang Xinmin, the governor of Annan, Yue Zheng, the governor of Shandong, Yang Yi, the envoy of Annan, Wang Tong, the marquis of Chengshan, Liu Chang, Wu Anbo, and Gao Ping, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi.

Li Shulin was a little surprised, this lineup is so powerful, there is a governor and two governors in Wenchen alone.

The key is why did this Shandong governor appear here?

Seeing Li Shulin looking at him curiously, Yue Zheng took the initiative to explain: "I am in charge of building an ocean-going sailor in Shandong, and this time to recover Annam, the Holy Lord ordered the newly built ships to be used to transport grain and grass to support the army of Zhengnan.

I personally brought a hundred ships to support. Originally, I was going back after the battle, but the saint wrote to me and told me to wait for Li Shilang, and then we were responsible for building a more advanced warship out of teak.

Now there is a shortage of officials everywhere in Annam, and before you come, I was bitter, and I was temporarily requisitioned by Governor Xu to be the prefect of Qinghua. ”

Li Shulin knew that Yue Zheng, the prefect of Thanh Hoa, was joking: "I heard that a few years ago, the former Emperor Annam sent a large army to dig a military port along the coast of Thanh Hoa, do you want to build a ship in Thanh Hoa?" ”

Yue Zheng replied: "Li Shilang is a professional, I will listen to you when you come, what you say, we will do it."

However, if the teak was transported overland from Burma, it would be a death for yourself. I discussed with Governor Xu and wanted to transport it by sea, but if it was to be transported by sea, I needed to build a strong giant ship first. ”

Li Shulin nodded: "No wonder the Holy Lord insisted that I bring all the details of Zheng He's voyage." ”

Yue Zheng said with a smile: "The Holy One is wise, then let's overcome all difficulties and work together to help the Holy One achieve immortal achievements." ”

Li Shulin asked again: "Governor Yue has been staying in Annan, isn't he in a hurry to go back?" ”

Yue Zheng nodded affirmatively: "The Holy Lord is ruthless towards Shandong, Shandong's left and right political envoys, the ability is quite strong.

In particular, Cui Gong, the political envoy of Youbu, has been an official in Shandong for many years, with extremely high prestige and strong ability, just like the Governor Yang in front of us. So I'm not in Shandong, and it's not a big problem.

I'm now obsessed with shipbuilding, and I want to see how powerful the teak ships that Seigami depicted are. ”

Xu Youzhen said with a smile: "Although teak is mainly produced in Myanmar, there is also teak in Siam.

We first got a batch of teak from nearby Siam, built a few large ships for transportation, and then went to Myanmar to transport the large quantities of teak back to Thanh Hoa.

So let's go our separate ways, Jing Yuanbo is responsible for capturing Burma, I am responsible for negotiating teak from Siam, and Governor Yue is responsible for governing Thanh Hoa and expanding the military port and shipyard.

Li Shilang was responsible for designing the warship and preparing for the start of construction.

The Jing'an Army, which was formed by the soldiers of Liangguang and Guangzhou, had a total of 50,000 troops gathered into the territory of Annam.

Governor Yang took 30,000 wolf soldiers of the Jing'an Army to the south to guard the southern provinces.

In particular, in the southernmost province of Shenghua Province, the Champang state claimed that Shenghua Province was the land of its own country that was forcibly occupied by Annam, so Lai refused to withdraw its troops there.

The 10,000 forbidden troops sent by the lord of Annan to resist the invasion of Champa are now scattered in the mountains and forests of Shenghua Province. ”

Yang Xinmin asked, "How far are we going to fight?" ”

Xu Youzhen said with a smile: "Let's talk while fighting, and negotiate slowly." After the surrender of Annam, the former king of the city of Champa that they captured fell into our hands, and this is a trump card.

You must know that the saint deliberately dragged it, and he has not canonized the current king of Champong.

Therefore, Mahaben should be the king of Champa recognized by our Ming Dynasty, so that there is a lot of room for operation. ”

Yang Xinmin sighed: "The Holy Lord can even calculate this, which means that he was planning Annan and Zhancheng two years ago? ”

Xu Youzhen bowed to the north: "A natural saint, I am fortunate to meet the master." ”

After that, Xu Youzhen added: "Also, Enke's affairs should be taken care of by the inspector." This is very important, and it is more conducive to maintaining the stability of Annan by sending Annan students to participate in Enke and returning to be officials after passing the examination.

After Taizong captured Annan, he did not let the locals of Annan be officials, which was also one of the reasons why the Annan people did not obey the imperial court and had to rebel.

Now we must learn a lesson and appease the magnates, great clans, gentry and scholars of Annam.

And at the beginning of the month, the original Li royal family had already rushed to Beijing with the returning Xiaocai Battalion and Duo Yanwei.

Without them, we must be even more cautious and cautious, and never provoke a popular uprising. ”

Everyone nodded, and there was no objection to the division of labor, so they went their separate ways.

At the same time, Wang Ji led a large army, thousands of miles forward, and stationed in Luchuan.

Then Wang Ji led the main force from Luchuan south to attack Awa, the capital of Burma, and Chen Mao and Ming Xi both sent troops from Donghu to attack Ava.

Liang Xuan led 20,000 troops to attack Mengyang, Si's last stronghold.
