At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 256 Annan's Destruction
In the early morning, the north gate of Thang Long City was wide open.

Headed by Prince Gong Li Kechang, all the Annan officials and soldiers who came to surrender were lined up on both sides, kneeling to welcome the Ming army into the city.

Under the banner of Sun and Moon, the mighty Ming army marched into Shenglong City, first took over the defense of the city, and then quickly occupied all the main roads.

Zhang Fu took the lead, looking at the open city gate, his eyes were moist.

In the second year of Yongle, Chen Tianping, who claimed to be the royal family of Annan, came to Daming to seek asylum by way of Laos.In the fourth year of Yongle, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di sent the governor Huang Zhong to lead [-] soldiers to send Chen Tianping back to China, and the deputy general was Xue Yan, Minister of Dali Temple.

Unexpectedly, Li Jishou, who controlled the Annan government, sent people to ambush Chen Tianping and Xue Yan was also killed along the way.

Zhu Di was furious when he heard the news. In September of the same year, he appointed Zhu Neng as the general who conquered Yi and Zhang Fu as the right deputy general.

It's a pity that Zhu Neng died of illness in the army, so Zhang Fu took over as his commander-in-chief and led the army into Annan.

In the second year, the Ming army captured Shenglong and Qinghua successively, and changed Annan to Jiaozhi. Benevolence, the rule of Yongle Taiping.

However, since then, Annan's old ministers have continued to rebel. Seeing that the situation could not be controlled, Mu Sheng led the conquest of General Yi, and then conquered Annan.

Unexpectedly, the situation in this battle was very unfavorable. Mu Sheng fought fiercely with the Annan rebels in Shengjuejiang, and suffered a disastrous defeat because he underestimated the enemy. All died in battle, and the situation in Annan was in chaos.

Zhu Di had no choice but to use Zhang Fu as the commander-in-chief again, and sent 20 troops to cooperate with Mu Sheng. At this time, Daming was busy with the northern conquest of Mongolia, so he asked Zhang Fu to calm down the situation in Annan as soon as possible.

However, just as Zhang Fu was advancing all the way, the Ming army encountered a major setback in the first Northern Expedition. Qiu Fu, Duke of Qi, Wang Cong, Hou Wangcong of Wucheng, Huozhen, Hou of Tong'an, Wang Zhong, Hou of Jing'an, and Li Yuan, Hou of Anping led an army of [-] to march northward. As a result, he was ambushed by the Mongolian army at the Luqu River, and Qiu Fu and others were all killed.

After being shocked, Zhu Di saw that Zhang Fu had won the victory, and thought that Annan was not enough to cause trouble, so he ordered Mu Sheng to stay behind, and called Zhang Fu back to Beijing, preparing to personally lead the army to conquer Mongolia.

In the eighth year of Yongle, Zhu Di personally conquered Mobei and returned home victorious. Chen Jikuo took the opportunity to send an envoy Hu Yanchen to congratulate him and ask for the title. Zhu Di was happy for a while, and specially appointed Chen Jikuo as the envoy of Jiaozhi. However, Chen Jikuo's original intention was to seek the title of king of Annan, so he continued to call soldiers and cause rebellion.

As the main force of the Ming army went northward, Mu Sheng who stayed behind was not strong enough to pacify Chen Jikuo. In order to completely quell the Annan Rebellion, Zhu Di, who had already freed up his hands, ordered Zhang Fu to conquer Annan three times and forced Chen Jikuo to submit a confession. If he refused to plead guilty, Then use force to fight for peace.

In the tenth year of Yongle, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng joined forces in Shunzhou and fought a decisive battle with Annan's army in Aizijiang. Annan's army was defeated, and Chen Jikuo was defeated in Laos alone. Guan finally captured Chen Jikuo alive in Mengji Nanmo and escorted him to the capital. At this point, Annan was completely pacified.

At this time, the forces of the Northern Yuan Dynasty made a comeback, Zhu Di recalled Zhang Fu again, and attacked Mobei for the second time.

The Ming army who stayed at Jiaozhi lacked governance experience and would only use force to suppress problems. Coupled with the intrigue among officials, the people in Annan did not agree, and rebellions continued since then. Cochin becomes a heavy burden.

In the 22nd year of Yongle, Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne, and died the following year. Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne as Ming Xuanzong.

Due to the Ming Dynasty's southern and northern wars in recent years, six voyages to the West, and the empty treasury, Zhu Zhanji thought that Annan was not peaceful, and he repeatedly worked as a king's teacher, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the message was spread to the states of Annan, guarding the Ming army guards there. , he was relieved, but at the same time, he was full of unwillingness.

Everyone knows that this is not the answer, and everyone understands that Daming has spent countless money and food, and countless troops and horses have entered here, and he has won many battles, and he has occupied Annan, and he has spilled blood here, in exchange for An Nanguo was turned into a prefecture and county and included in the territory of Ming Dynasty, but in the end, everything was wiped out.

The imperial court at that time, of course, had considerations at the time. It may be that it was meaningless to go to the Western Seas. Occupying Annan and letting the fleet set off in Annan to go deep into the Western Ocean would do more with less. Instead, it became a huge burden.

Daming can no longer afford to spend it, and the money and food can be used in other places.

No matter what the reason was, after more than ten years of hard work, everything was in vain. The soldiers who entered Annan at the order of Emperor Taizong finally withdrew in despair.

Zhang Fu was the most unwilling one, because Annan was defeated by him himself. If it weren't for the tense war in Mobei, perhaps the British public lineage would have lived in Annan for generations.

However, the reality is that there are no ifs, only regrets.

I thought this regret would be with me for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that after only more than [-] years, I set foot on this land again.

Li Kechang led hundreds of officials and soldiers to kneel on both sides, bowed their heads and said: "The hypocritical Li Sicheng fought against the heavenly soldiers, and death is unforgivable. , Annan, everyone is sincerely attached, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not abandon him and treat him kindly, the criminals are grateful, and look north and kowtow!"

On the ground, there were two people who were tied up like zongzi, namely Li Sicheng, the emperor of Annan, and Li Bin, the prince.

Li Sicheng's face was ashamed, his own brother actually betrayed him!

Originally, he was still wary of Li Kechang, but what people never expected was that the one who caught him in the end was actually his most trusted veteran of the three dynasties, Zheng Fu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War!
Li Bin's eyes were full of anger. From Qinghua to Annan, he was the one who commanded the whole army.

Tsinghua City was breached by artillery at any rate, and the weapons are not as good as others, so they can't beat them, admit it!

However, Shenglong City didn't even see a single cannonball. The Ming army didn't spend a single soldier, and the war was over. How can there be any reason?

"Rebel, I will never die with you!"

Li Kechang didn't even look back at him, he just asked: "How to deal with the hypocrite Li Sicheng and his son, please give me instructions!"

Riding on the horse, Zhang Fu looked down at Li Bin who was gnashing his teeth, and Li Sicheng who was slumped on the ground like mud, and he was deeply moved.

Now Da Ming no longer has any worries about Mobei, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and must not leave any hidden dangers.

There was a chill in his eyes, and the emotion in his heart turned into four words: "Behead for public!"

Li Kechang's expression was serious, and he saluted: "The guilty minister is willing to supervise and kill himself!"
