Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"Urgent report! Urgent report!"

"Eight hundred miles of Yunnan urgent military report!"

The postman broke into the posthouse, and an officer rushed out of the house immediately: "Where's the military newspaper?"

"Yunnan, [-] Li urgently, express delivery to the capital!"

Seeing the exhausted post pawns and draft horses, the guards in the post station immediately put the bamboo tubes on themselves, then planted the command flag, pulled out a horse, and galloped out of the post station.

Eight hundred miles to urgently report to the military, something must have happened in Yunnan!
In this way, the urgent report from Yunnan was quickly delivered by post stations, day and night, day and night, and finally arrived in the capital six days later.

"Urgent report at the border! Urgent report at the border!"

"Eight hundred miles of Yunnan urgent military report!"

The guard shouted, and galloped his horse on the wide road in the capital. Passers-by who heard the urgent report avoided one after another, and then watched the guard gallop towards the direction of Liubu. After the guard left, the people of the capital gathered together again Discuss.

Urgent report, is there an accident at the border?
"Urgent report at the border! Urgent military report for eight hundred miles in Yunnan!"

The people from the Ministry of War looked at the guard and quickly helped him in, took the bamboo tube from him and sent it to the cabinet.

"Yuanfu, urgent military report for [-] miles from the border crossing in Yunnan!"

Zhang Haogu, who was dealing with the memorial, heard it, his eyelids twitched for no reason, Yunnan border customs urgent report?

Something happened in Yunnan!
Opening the bamboo tube, peeling off the wax, and quickly reading through the content of the report, Zhang Haogu looked at the applications of Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Qiao Yunsheng and others with an extremely calm expression: "Annan Kouguan has invaded."

"What?!" Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji's expressions changed when they heard this!

Annan's barbarians are locked up!

Zhang Haogu put away the military newspaper and got up: "Let's go, go see the emperor."

boom!
Zhu Youxiao was angry again.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has swept across Monan and trained Liaodong, it is invincible and invincible, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it seems that it is the prosperous age of apocalypse.

But he just went to the Taimiao to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, saying how rich the Tianqi Dynasty was, how abundant the treasury was, how good the people's lives were, and how capable the Ming army was, and it seemed that the next Yongle and prosperity would come, and all nations would come to court.

But on the back foot, Annan invaded!

"Small barbarian country, how dare you kill my subjects!"

"No reason!"

Looking at the furious Zhu Youxiao, all the cabinet ministers leaned over one after another: "Long live, calm down."

"Quiet your anger?!"

"How can I appease my anger?!"

Pointing at the military newspaper, Zhu Youxiao looked ferociously like an angry dragon: "Sneak attack on the frontier fortress, blatantly seize customs, and plunder Yunnan. Three government offices and six divisions are already a city of bones!"

"what is this?!"

"It's a disgrace!"

"It's Daming's shame!"

Panting heavily, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and nodded: "Go to the government of Qianguo and ask them what they eat. Annan's soldiers are about to hit Kunming, but there is no response yet!"

"And those chieftains, what do they eat? No one reports the letter, no one lights up the smoke, and just sits and watches the cities of Ming Dynasty being slaughtered. If no one reports the letter, I am afraid that I am still kept in the dark. !"

Seeing Zhu Youxiao so angry, Eunuch Wei hurriedly stepped forward to appease him: "My lord, your lord, you have to calm down, it hurts you a lot."

Zhu Youxiao managed to calm down. Now he only felt his face being slapped by Annan, and he wished he could immediately dispatch troops to pacify Annan!

Zhang Haogu also said: "May I ask the emperor to rest the anger of the thunder, the most urgent thing right now is Yunnan."

Wei Guangwei asked rhetorically, "Where can we deploy troops now?"

"At present, the imperial court is in the south, and there are only 11 new troops in the south of the Yangtze River, while the imperial court has [-] troops in the north. Excluding Ganshan, southern Liaoning, and monan, there are only [-] troops left in Gyeonggi. How to mobilize them?"

Qiao Yunsheng suggested: "Now that the grassland has stabilized, all tribes in Monan have surrendered to me, Daming. In addition to [-] new troops, there are [-] Mongolian cavalry on the grassland."

"It should be possible to transfer [-] to [-] soldiers and horses from the grassland right now?"

Huang Liji sighed and said: "Well, even if we can transfer, from the grassland to Yunnan, thousands of miles away, not to mention the money and food consumed by the army along the way, even if we reach Yunnan, it will be several months later."

Lu Xiangsheng also said: "Besides, the south is no better than the north. Yunnan and Guizhou have many mountains and rivers, the terrain is steep, the mountains are overlapping, and there are many poisonous jungles. How can the new army in the north adapt to the mountains, dense forests, and mosquito poisonous miasma in the south in a short time?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Qiao Yunsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng. What these four cabinet ministers said made sense. It was not that the imperial court was useless. tai chi.

The difference between the bitter cold in the north and the hot and humid environment in the south can make soldiers unaccustomed to the environment, plus poisonous miasma and poisonous insects
Maybe it will be the same as Emperor Chengzu's first conquest of Annan and returning without success.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao, who had a headache, looked at Zhang Haogu: "What do you think, Master?"

Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Lu Xiangsheng, and Qiao Yunsheng also looked at Zhang Haogu one after another. Zhang Haogu was the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. In previous wars, decisions and national policies, Zhang Haogu basically gave advice. Decide.

Now it seems that we can only rely on Zhang Haogu's opinion.

Zhang Haogu pondered: "Annan brazenly invaded the border of our Ming Dynasty and slaughtered our Ming people. If the court turns a blind eye, it will undoubtedly reduce the court's status in the hearts of Western countries."

"Therefore, Annan must fight."

Lu Xiangsheng said: "What Yuanfu said is exactly that the small country of Annan, originally my vassal of the Ming Dynasty, dares to wage war on the emperor. If he is not severely punished, other countries will follow suit. Southwest will never have peace."

Zhang Haogu said again: "Fighting must be fought, but how to fight is the key. The tactics of the new army are to form an array of firearms to meet the enemy. There are many mountains and dense forests in the southwest, and the environment is humid, hot and rainy, which has a great impact on firearms. Firearms can't ignore the heat and humidity of rainwater, and the gunpowder condenses into plates when wet, making it difficult to use again."

"Besides, there are many plains in the north, which are suitable for cavalry to gallop and extend their firearms, just like the grasslands and the battle in southern Liaoning. However, there are many water networks and dense forests in the southwest, and there are mountains and peaks. "

"I think that if possible, we should use the local soldiers in the southwest as supplementary, the new army leader in the south of the Yangtze River, supplemented by infantry and our new army's firearms to drive out the Annan soldiers, and issued an order to the Western countries to order King Annan entered the court to plead guilty."

Huang Liji looked at Zhang Haogu: "Yuan Fu said lightly, how much power do Duke Qian and Yunnan Tusi have to help the new army? If they can't come up with troops, the new army in the south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for the environment of Yunnan and Guizhou. The war is at a stalemate, so what if King Annan doesn't come to plead guilty?"

Zhang Haogu's expression was calm, but his words were extremely cold: "Yunnan Guizhou Duke, the chieftain, has received the state's favor, full of salary, why has the court favored him over the years? They all have the responsibility of guarding the land! If you don't cooperate with the new army to fight, please The purpose is to strip him of his title, remove him from office and put him in prison."

"If the war is at a stalemate, then send troops from the northwest and grasslands to the south. What's more, the three camps in the north and the south are all expanding their troops. If 20 is not enough, then [-], [-]! The imperial court could support a million guards before, but now it can support them." A new army of one million will be raised. If Annan does not come to the court to plead guilty, the minister will ask the emperor to follow the merits of his ancestors: conquer Annan and destroy his country."

Huang Liji shuddered for no reason, looking at Zhang Haogu who could say such cruel words as destroying the country at a young age, and thinking about the people Zhang Haogu had died in his hands since he became an official in the court, In a trance, Huang Liji felt that there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood behind Zhang Haogu.

Even though Zhang Haogu did not personally kill a few people, but the number of people killed by his pen is far more than thousands? !
And Zhu Youxiao was also shocked by Zhang Haogu's rhetoric. The next moment, Zhu Youxiao yelled at the case: "Okay!"

"Worthy of being the Chief Assistant of Ming Dynasty!"

"Decree to Duke Qian and Yunnan Chieftain, ordering them to prepare for war and defend against barbarians. After the imperial army arrives in Yunnan, they will cooperate with the new imperial army to fight."

"The Ministry of War sent an order to Fang Yunchu in Nanjing to transfer the Fifth Army Battalion from Nanjing to Yunnan."

All the cabinet ministers bowed: "The minister accepts the decree."

However, as soon as the imperial court issued the decree, another urgent report from Yunnan arrived in Beijing the next day.

Through this urgent report, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu realized how urgent the situation in Yunnan was: At present, only a few thousand new troops in Yunnan are resisting Annan's army. It was a premeditated attack, breaking through the barriers and attacking the city. It has already swept through the land of the three prefectures. The people of the three prefectures have been turned into bones. Hundreds of thousands of barbarians are raging in the territory of Yunnan. The situation in Yunnan is in jeopardy!
Looking at this urgent report, Zhang Haogu's brows were only frowned: "One hundred thousand barbarians?"

"Annan mobilized [-] barbarian soldiers. This is not a simple attack on the border. This is because he has long had the heart to plot my Ming territory. Otherwise, where did he mobilize the [-] soldiers!"

Just as he was talking, Zhang Ruitu came in a hurry: "Your Majesty, Yuanfu, Annan's envoy is asking for a face-to-face saint."

"Annan Messenger?!"

Why did Annan's envoy arrive in Beijing at this time? Could it be that he came to plead guilty?
"I agree, let all the officials go to court."

Soon, in the Hall of Zhonghe, civil and military officials entered the court. Zhu Youjiao sat on the dragon chair and waved his hand. Wang Tiqian immediately shouted: "Xuan, the foreign minister Annan envoy is coming to the court."

Soon, the voice of "Xuan Foreign Minister Annan's Envoy Enters the Pilgrimage" sounded outside the hall, and Annan's envoy entered the hall respectfully, and then performed three prostrations and nine prostrations in a very standard manner: "Mo Zaihe, the envoy of Yue Kowtow to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

Vietnam!

As soon as this title came out, not to mention Zhu Youxiao frowned, Zhang Haogu and others also frowned and looked at Mo Zaihe.

Annan or Jiaozhi should be the correct name. Now this Mo Zaihe calls himself an envoy of the Yue Kingdom. Doesn't he know what it means?
He is testing Daming!

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, pretending he didn't hear the title of Yue Guo: "Envoy Annan, why did you see me?"

Mo Zaihe also pretended not to hear Zhu Youxiao's "Annan Envoy". He bowed down respectfully and bowed again, and then said: "Your Majesty does not know that the people of Yunnan and our country of Yue are as close as one family, regardless of you. I, now Yunnan's heart is towards my country of Yue, and I am willing to join the country of Yue and become a family, and my foreign ministers have the courage to ask His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to show mercy on behalf of the lord of the country of Yue, and allow the people of Yunnan to enter the country of Yue."

As soon as this remark came out, all officials were shocked!

Liu Hongxun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and said angrily, "It's ridiculous!"

"Yunnan is my land of Ming Dynasty, and the people of Yunnan are my subjects of Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that you are not from the country of Yue, but the country of Annan keeps seizing borders every year and harassing the people of Yunnan in my Ming Dynasty. Right now, you still have the face to be on top of my Ming emperor's premise Why are you as close as a family, you dare to let my people of Ming Dynasty join you Annan?"

"It's wishful thinking! Is Annan going to start a war with me, Daming?"

Mo Zaihe looked very calm: "Everything that the foreign minister said is true and sincere, and I ask His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to fulfill it."

"Furthermore, the people of Yunnan are hard to leave their homeland. Please, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, show your vigor and allow the people of Yunnan to leave Daming and enter our Annan with their houses and fields."

"In this way, Daming and Annan will be freed from swords and soldiers, and the common people can continue to enjoy peace. It is also a good story for His Majesty to show the spirit of the kingdom."

Zhu Youxiao was about to be laughed at by Mo Zaihe: "You mean, you want not only my people, but also my land?"

Mo Zaihe bowed respectfully and bowed to the ground: "God has the virtue of loving life, please His Majesty the Emperor divide Yunnan and our country of Yue."

At this point, Mo Zaihe's intention to come to court is already obvious, he just wants to take the opportunity to force Daming to cede Yunnan to Annan!
Where did he get the guts? !
Zhu Youxiao sneered, and threw the general newspaper in front of Mo Zaihe: "Is this what you said that the people's heart is for Annan?"

"It doesn't count to harass our Ming border, but now we are still aggressively invading, wantonly killing our Ming people, and now I want to give you Yunnan. Do you really think I can't make it?!"

"what?!"

"Annan has already invaded Yunnan?!"

"What a shameless person!"

"Small barbarian country, shameless, courting death!"

The ministers were frightened and angrily scolded Mo Zaihe one after another. Zhang Ruitu, Minister of Rites, stood up and scolded Mo Zaihe angrily: "Presumptuous! A small barbarian country, in a small area, how dare you speak boldly in front of my great son?"

"Have you forgotten the lessons learned from the past?!"

"Right now, the only way out for you is to let the king of your country enter the court to plead guilty. My Majesty, the Ming Emperor, has the virtue of good life in heaven. Maybe I can spare your life. Otherwise, when the king's master arrives, you will be ashamed. !"

Mo Zaihe was still kneeling on the ground, obviously risking his life: "The land of Yunnan is the old land of my country of Yue, and the people of Yunnan are also the people of my country of Yue. Why can't Yunnan be returned to my country of Yue, and the two countries must fight with swords?"

Zhang Haogu said coldly: "Da Ming is rich all over the world, sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, but the territory of Da Ming is my homeland of China, what has it to do with you?"

"The mountains and rivers of Daming, not to mention tens of thousands of miles, even tens of thousands of miles, can only be more or less. Don't talk about dividing Yunnan's three thousand miles, even one inch, don't even try to take it away from Daming!"

Zhu Youxiao said: "The first assistant is right! The land of Ming Dynasty is the country laid down by the ancestors. How can there be a gift for others?"

"Aren't you just coveting my Da Ming's territory?"

"Let's talk on the battlefield with real swords and guns."

"I didn't kill you right now, it's already the limit of my tolerance."

"Disperse!"

After returning to the Hall of Martial Arts, Zhu Youxiao became more and more angry as he thought about it. Looking at the tea brought by the eunuch, he suddenly left it on the ground. As the tea cup shattered, the eunuchs and maids knelt down in fright and followed The cabinet ministers behind Zhu Youxiao were also taken aback.

"Get up, I'm not angry at you."

Zhu Youxiao said, sitting on the couch, his chest was heaving and heaving: "A small barbarian country, dare to ask me to cut off Yunnan to him, does he want me to marry the princess of Daming to him?! "

"The lord of Annan regards my Ming Dynasty as the Song Dynasty?!"

"Da Ming doesn't have the habit of cutting land with his relatives!"

"What is the war in Yunnan like?!"

"Who has a letter of approval?!"

"Why hasn't Duke Qian brought me a copy yet?!"

The cabinet ministers looked at me and I looked at you, and finally lowered their heads. How do they know what is going on in Yunnan now.

And Annan's envoy arrived in Beijing to ask Daming to cede the land and people in Yunnan to Annan, and soon spread in the capital, and the people in the capital were blown up.

What kind of thing is Annan, dare to let me cede land?

The slave building in Liaodong is awesome, right?

Now being beaten, she shrank in Shenyang and dared not show her face.

Are the Tatars on the steppe powerful?
The [-] Manchu and Mongolian allied forces were defeated and chased northward for [-] miles!
Right now, the Ming Dynasty is strong and the people are rich, and the momentum is like a rainbow. The confidence and self-esteem of the people of the Ming Dynasty is inflated. Now, suddenly, a small barbarian country in the southwestern border, which was once destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, wants to cede the land to the current Daming. This is not a face to the Ming Dynasty. ?

The people of Daming were the first to disagree!

I will open the dynasty tomorrow, the world will be prosperous, the country will be great and the people will be proud, and the guests from all over the world will be honored. How can I allow you to be a clown here?
All of a sudden, the people of the capital took to the streets to shout, demanding that the imperial court quickly dispatch troops to pacify Annan.

Looking at the common people on the street, wearing luxurious silk or ordinary cotton and linen clothes, calling for the imperial court to send troops, and even enthusiastically signing up to join the army, Mo Zaihe's eyes showed a little bit of worry.

Annan is now taking advantage of Shangguo's lack of strength in the southwest to sneak into the country. Although he has swept through several prefectures, he has not even taken down half of Yunnan. How can he face the mighty Ming court?

But if he dare not face the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty, when will Annan restore the prosperity of Ancient Yue Kingdom?

But look at the people of Daming, they have no worries about food and clothing, they are rich in food and clothing, they are physically strong, and they are all taller and stronger than the people in Annan. Proud.

Their people look down on barbarians from all over the world, and are proud of their identity as the people of Ming Dynasty. The sense of superiority and condescending contempt makes Mo Zaihe angry but helpless. Who makes the current Daming have the strength and confidence to do so?

Right now, facing Annan's invasion, the people of Ming Dynasty are not terrified, but angry. They are angry because they feel that they have lost the face of a big country when they are invaded by a small country like Annan.

Then, what will Daming do next? Can Annan really win Yunnan before the arrival of the Daming master?
Mo Zaihe had no idea at all in his heart, he could only pray, hoping that the Mu family and the chieftain would turn a blind eye and sit back and watch Annan's annexation of Yunnan's land become a fait accompli.

Otherwise, Annan might be in big trouble.
