my days with tyrants

The Ming Dynasty in the 30th year of Hongwu moved forward amidst the undercurrent.

are waiting.

Waiting for the terrifying but old dragon in the palace to come to an end.

Just half a month after Old Zhu killed Zhang Xin and others, good news came from the Annan battlefield, and the army commanded by King Chu finally conquered Qinghua...

Hanoi has already taken it.

But Hu Jiyao is not stupid. He knows that Hanoi or Thang Long can’t stop the Ming army, and he belongs to the powerful ministers. There are a lot of ministers who oppose him. If the Ming army really wants to approach the city, there are probably a lot of people waiting to open the city gate. .So he took Chen Shunzong Chen Rikun to his hometown Qinghua, and then used the so-called Western Capital City built before in Qinghua to hold on, and at the same time sent people to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for peace.

but……

He was rejected by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The banner of Lao Zhu was that Hu Jishou was good at power and chaos in Annan, so he, as the superior of Annan, sent troops to crusade.

Sue?

Is a rebellious minister qualified to ask the emperor for peace?
Unless he surrendered himself and then went to Daming to accept the punishment of the Emperor of Ming, the soldiers of Ming Dynasty would not stop.

And this is of course impossible for Hu Jishou.

This is clearly to kill him.

So he would rather coerce the emperor to order the princes, lead Chen Rikun to defend Qinghua, and call on all the powerful people in Annan to work hard for the king, but in the end, few listened to him. If the powerful people don't fall into trouble, they are already worthy of him. In fact, Everyone in the world is competing to lose their sincerity to the King of Chu.After the king of Chu conquered Shenglong, Wang Bi and Yang Wen led the main force of the Ming army to advance by sea and land, and finally surrounded Qinghua in one fell swoop, and then blasted the city wall with gunpowder blasting.

The rest is street fighting.

The Ming army massacred Qinghua and eventually occupied the city.

However, Hu Jishou's family was captured and escorted to Daming together with Chen Rikun.

The latter is also guilty.

Not only him, but his father Chen Shuming was also guilty.

Because it was Chen Yuzong Chen Riying who first professed his vassal to Ming Dynasty, he sent envoys to pay tribute immediately after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Dadu. Similarly, Annan was also conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Chen Riying died of illness before the envoy returned.The heir he left was Yang Rili, the adopted son of his elder brother, who was called Chen Rili in the Ming Dynasty. After the latter succeeded to the throne, he continued the route of becoming a minister and completed the entire procedure according to his will.However, after only one year in office, Chen Rixuan was overthrown and killed by Chen Shuming's coup, and then reported to the Ming Dynasty. However, Lao Zhu thought that he was playing tricks on me, and changed three times in three years, even if he didn't know what happened. What, I know there must be something going on here.

So he was very upset with Chen Shuming, and just let Chen Shuming take over the state affairs with the former Wang Yin in the same way as Li Chenggui.

Be a part-timer!

Now is the time to settle accounts.

So before Chen Rikun arrived in the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang had already received a report from the king of Chu. It was Chen Shuming who falsely accused Chen Rikun of not being of Chen's blood in order to usurp the throne...

In fact, this may have been a problem.

Modern Vietnamese insist that Yang Ri Lai is the son of a prostitute, and his mother was conceived by his father after she became pregnant, so he is not of the Chen family. Annan officially completed paying tribute to Daming, similar to Nanbang, Li Chenggui was not pleasing to the eye.But it’s hard to tell whether this kind of thing is true or not. Being concubine while pregnant, but not directly holding the child, who can prove it is true. Could it be that Chen Shuming took a photo to commemorate the wedding with a big belly?Anyway, Chen Shuming killed him in the end, and Chen Shuming was recognized by the ministers and ruled in Annan for 20 years, which can be said to be relatively stable, so it is normal to charge him with such a crime against Chen Rilin.

Also no one will question it.

After all, it is said that Chen Rilin is actually very stupid.

In short, the king of Chu who is currently occupying Shenglong has been investigated clearly, and it was Chen Shuming who made it up.

He will do anything to usurp the throne.

Heaven has eyes!

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty can finally uphold justice for Chen Rixuan!
Immediately afterwards, a large group of loyal ministers and righteous men who endured humiliation poured out to report to the king of Chu that Chen Shuming used all means to usurp the throne, and did not hesitate to frame Chen Rili as the son of a prostitute. of.

Of course there must be orphans.

Fang Xiaoru can have orphans when he is killed by the Yi tribe, and the whole village can have orphans when Lian Zining is killed. It is strange that Chen Rixiu has an orphan.

The rest is that His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case.

"Your father is also very good at playing!"

Yang Feng sighed with emotion.

He swore that this routine was not taught to Zhu Yuanzhang by him.

But this did remove the legitimacy of Chen Shuming's family, which also means that Chen Rikun's succession is illegal, and Hu Jishou can't change his status as a traitor, because he is Chen Shuming's confidant and must have participated.In this way, King Annan would have no heir, and the orphan should have been created by those ministers who surrendered in Annan, so as to show that they still have orthodoxy, but this kind of status can be sealed or not.After all, the orphan who suddenly appeared after more than 20 years has no way to verify its authenticity. You can't rashly confer the title of King Annan on the fake one. Instead, you can say that Chen Rilin is loyal and give him an individual title to enshrine him. .

As for Annan, the part of Hanoi is probably the fiefdom of the King of Chu.

Set up the state capital.

The king of Chu transferred his vassal to Jiaozhou.

The capital city of Jiaozhou was used as the feudal city of the king of Chu.

As for those Annan local tyrants who surrendered, they can just seal the chieftain directly.

In the end, An Nancheng was established to announce that the government, the Red River Delta, and Tsinghua could all be changed to the prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty, and other places would be entrusted to these tyrants.

Of course, for Annan's place, completing this step is only the beginning.

The real difficulty is control.

But if it is really a vassal king, it will be easier after all...

Or inconvenient to give up.

After all, this is related to the face of the royal family, and there is still an issue of ancestral system. Even if more power is needed, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, it is necessary to ensure the control of Annan. The best thing is that Annan resisted at this time, and it happened to be cleaned up in one wave.

"You don't want to contract again, do you?"

The little princess said cautiously.

"Uh, I don't need this one. That place is not easy to manage, and your brother probably doesn't welcome me."

Yang Feng said.

The king of Chu now wishes for him to die!
Although Hanoi is actually not worse than Wuchang, after all, the climate difference between the two places is actually not that big. If you really want to calculate it, it is at most the level of Guangzhou, even cooler than Guangzhou, but the problem is that he has already established everything in Wuchang, and the surrounding area is regarded as In the civilized world, throw him to Hanoi, not only have to start everything again, but also have to face a group of unruly people all the time. He could be the Prince of Taiping, but now he has to be heavily guarded even when he sleeps.

Can't compare!

Of course, compared to his fifth brother, he actually knew he had gotten a bargain.

His five elder brothers have all gone to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Of course, these are not important anymore. After all, the Ming Dynasty has completed the conquest of Annan. The current Ming Dynasty, except for the northwest, has basically recovered the territory of the Tang Dynasty...

There are even more Fusang.

Moreover, the control of the southwest also surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty.

If you include the prisons, it can basically be said that the north reaches the Arctic Ocean and the south reaches the Strait of Malacca.

Lao Zhu finally achieved the achievement of going far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties.

As for the Western Regions...

"His Royal Highness King Yan is here!"

Accompanied by the shouts from outside, Zhu Di walked up the stairs very majesticly.

Then he looked at his sister's shameful attire with some horror. His sister was actually wearing pants, and they were very tight pants. She was wearing a silk cardigan on her upper body. She couldn't even hide her figure. Standing there was very hot. Eye.

At least by his standards, it can already be said that his eyes are hot.

"Brother?"

The little princess saluted and said.

Her brother returned to normal immediately, and nodded solemnly.

She then sat down at her desk...

She has always dressed in all kinds of modern clothes in this office, not to mention Zhu Yunxie, even Zhu Yuanzhang is very clear about it, and sometimes even wears it out. It is precisely because of her leadership that the women in the capital are currently eager to move.Although no one dared to wear it out, it is not uncommon to wear it in the back house. Those Confucian scholars angrily denounced the moral corruption of this kind of atmosphere while secretly poking and fantasizing daydreaming.

Anyway, he can't control it.

He can't even control his own daughter, so what else does he care about others?
Even in recent years, most of the original clothing restrictions have been relaxed, and it makes no difference whether they are lifted or not. Common people are not allowed to pretend to be gold and jade?Yang Feng's group of prostitutes walks through the market with gold and jade every day, why are we Daming women inferior to others?Common people are not allowed to wear yellow, red and other colors?

They wear it every day!

We Ming people can't wear it, but they wear it casually?

Is this fair?

So just leave it alone.

If you have money, you can wear whatever you like!

"Your Majesty, you're here to discuss business, right? You can just talk to Lingmei directly. It's easy to talk about loans or deposits."

Yang Feng said.

"Ambassador, are you interested in traveling together?"

Zhu Di said directly.

"Going out of the fortress, so His Majesty finally made up his mind to let you go west? You can be regarded as his most convenient tool, but what about your job of welcoming Jiahe?"

Yang Feng said.

There's nothing surprising about that either.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually used up his son.

Zhu Di, like Zhu Yunqi, was used by Zhu Yuanzhang to urge Zhu Yunxi. Although Zhu Yunxi did not complete the transformation he expected, he has already demonstrated the strength of a qualified emperor, especially because of the River God incident. allegiance.At this time, Lao Zhu began to abandon these tool people. Zhu Yunqi's grounding meant that the emperor's principles had completely turned to Zhu Yunxi's smooth succession, and began to pave the way for the latter's smooth ascension to the throne after his death.

Zhu Yunqi was abandoned.

Then Zhu Di had to give up too.

Give him an army, let him lead the Western Expedition, when Zhu Yunxi succeeds to the throne, arrange everything and let him come back.

Or there is no need to come back, find a new place for him to move his domain!
"The envoy to welcome Jiahe is still led by me, but I will lead the fleet to Fusang. After sending the fleet away, I will go to Peiping. Then I will transfer [-] cavalry from Beiping, Beipingdusi, and Shanxi Xingdusi. Then go north from Kaiping and go deep into the desert. North, until Yuyuerhai, if there are no captives, continue westward to Helin."

Zhu Di said.

In fact, the tens of 10 people who marched into Mobei in the Ming Dynasty were not really so many.

That's including logistics and so on.

And it has to be named.

In the scene where Qiu Fu’s entire army was wiped out, there were only ten thousand people who actually went deep into the grassland. This was determined by the logistical capabilities. In this era, hundreds of thousands of troops really went deep into the grassland. It was not a war, but suicide. The logistics were simply impossible. support.

Not enough grass.

Thirty thousand cavalry is already a lot.

"No more?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

There are no Mongols on this line at all.

Of course, there must be some scattered small tribes, but there is no main force.

At present, Beiyuan is on the west side. Until the early years of Jianwen, Guilichi, the orthodox Khan court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, also set up the Khan court in Hexi. In fact, it was in the grassland north of the Hexi Corridor and expanded southward to Hami. This is Jing The war of disaster had already begun, while they were still in the west.The recovery of Beiyuan was actually due to the battle of Jingnan. The Ming Dynasty could not care about the north, and then the Beiyuan Khan Court, which had already run to the west, happened to break with the four tribes of Wala. Tartar part.That is to say, Zhu Di's main opponent Alutai from then on, he was the one who supported Guilichi successively during this period, and Ben Ya lost his sweat and returned to the grassland east to Yuerhai.

After the end of Jing Nan, Zhu Di finally freed his hand and started to sweep them again.

Without Jing Nan, they would have no chance to return to the east. In the end, it is very likely that they will continue westward under the continuous pressure of the Ming army, and then completely enter Siberia and Central Asia.

So now that Zhu Di went to Mobei, he must return without success.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not be ignorant of this.

and so……

"Then we can only wait for the imperial decree."

Zhu Di said sadly.

In fact, he also understood that his father just exiled him to Helin, and then waited there. When his father died and Zhu Yunxi succeeded to the throne, when would he think of him again.

It's a pity that he has just felt his father's affection. He has been in the capital for less than a year, and now he is about to be kicked away by his father. He kicked Huining at first, causing nearly half of his men to disperse, and then kicked Fusang.Although he won the battle in Fusang, he actually didn't have many cronies. After all, he was the King of Yan, and the three guards were actually in Beiping.Even Zhang Fu and the like went to Longquanwei, and during the shipbuilding period in the capital, it seemed that he had the military power, but in fact there were not many old generals under his command, and even Zhang Yu was transferred away.

They don't understand the navy!
They can indeed fight.

But they are all cavalry generals, so let them be the navy?

So Zhu Di seems to be in command of an army of [-], but in fact the generals are all newcomers, and Ma He is his confidant, and nothing else. ...

Where is the farthest, where to kick him!

What kind of father is this?

"So, you want me to follow to show your innocence?"

Yang Feng said with a smile.
