Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 554: One governor and two governors manage Annan Wang Ji’s army to raid Burma
Several beloved concubines laid out paper and polished ink, but Zhu Qiyu didn't really know how to write it himself, so he asked Qianxue to do it for him.

This letter, with thousands of words, clearly explained the entire plan.

It took him half a day to write it, and Zhu Qiyu said: "This letter is too important. Don't let outsiders handle it. Let Zhao Xuan lead [-] Yingzhou guards to deliver the letter.

Be sure to ask Zhao Xuan to hand the letter into Cao Guogong's hands.

In name, it was said that these five thousand battalions of state guards would serve in front of the army.The Gansu army will have major operations this year. It is normal to send troops for reinforcements and will not arouse other people's thoughts.

Don't be in a hurry, just let them go slowly and deliver it within three months.Then let Zhao Xuan lead these 5000 people to fight with Duke Cao and gain some military glory. "

Su Xi took the letter and was responsible for sealing it.Qianxue held her wrist and acted coquettishly: "Husband, look at it, my wrist is swollen and it hurts so much."

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly held the beauty in his arms, and while holding the jade wrist and gently kneading it, he smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, my dear, I will give Xueer a full body massage. I will make sure that my dear is comfortable."

……

After regaining Vietnam, Zhu Qiyu returned to normal. He stayed at home every day and did not go out, making others unable to find a way to poison him.

The six imperial concubines, including Zhao Yun, Mu Yu, and Xian'er, took turns entering the Qingliang Hall to sleep there. They were working intensively for the purpose of giving birth.

The imperial court sent out urgent documents to spread the news of the opening of Enko to the whole country.

The setting of examiners this time was very special, and this was where Zhu Qiyu consumed most of his authority.

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

To use such a young minister as an examiner requires overcoming all opinions and being extremely tough.

As for the considerations behind it, it is mainly for stability.This year's Jinshi and Juren will definitely select a group of very young people. They need to serve as officials in the frontiers for a long time.And it will take 50 to [-] years to consolidate the newly occupied border areas.

Forty years later, people like He Yi and Wang Yue happened to be prime ministers and ministers, and they could still maintain a stable teacher-student relationship with this generation of Jinshi and Juren.

In this way, both local and central authorities can trust and support each other and jointly maintain border stability.In case no one knows anyone at the end, that would be very troublesome.

Surprisingly, quite a few students responded to this year's Enke. After all, having an official position is better than not having one.

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

Time flies and September [-]th arrives in a blink of an eye.

Li Shulin, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, has rushed to Hanoi Prefecture in Annan, which was the original Thang Long City in Tokyo.

Annam has been surrendered, so it can no longer be called Tokyo, and it is not appropriate to call it Thang Long City, so Zhu Qiyu named it Hanoi.

Entering the governor's office, Xu Youzhen and others warmly welcomed Li Shulin.

The two parties sat down, and Xu Youzhen introduced Li Shulin. Present were Annan Governor Yang Xinmin, Shandong Governor Yue Zheng, Annan Inspector Yang Yi, Chengshan Marquis Wang Tong, Wu'an Bo Liu Chang, and Eunuch Gao Ping.

Li Shulin was a little surprised. This lineup was so strong. There was only one governor and two governors sitting here.

The key is why does this Shandong governor appear here?
Seeing Li Shulin looking at him curiously, Yue Zheng took the initiative to explain: "I am responsible for building an ocean-going navy in Shandong. This time to recapture Annan, the Holy Emperor ordered that the newly built ships be used to transport grain and grass to support the army in the southern expedition.

I personally brought a hundred warships to support.I originally wanted to go back after the war, but the Holy Emperor sent me a letter asking me to wait for Li Shilang, and then together we would be responsible for building a more advanced warship out of teak wood.

Now there is a shortage of officials everywhere in Annan. Before you came, I was suffering because I was temporarily recruited 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 Annan sent an army to dig a military port along the coast of Thanh Hoa. Do you want to build ships in Thanh Hoa?"

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

However, if the teak wood was transported overland from Myanmar, it would cost one's life.I discussed with Governor Xu and wanted to transport it by sea, but if we want to transport it by sea, we need to build a strong and huge ship first. Li Shulin nodded: "No wonder the Holy One insisted that I bring all the detailed information about Zheng He's voyage." "

Yue Zheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, then let's overcome all difficulties and work together to help your Majesty achieve unparalleled achievements."

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

Yue Zheng nodded affirmatively: "The Holy Emperor has been cruel to Shandong. The left and right chief envoys of Shandong are quite capable.

In particular, Cui Gong, the right chief envoy, has been an official in Shandong for many years. He has extremely high prestige and ability, just like the Governor Yang in front of us.So it doesn’t matter whether I’m in Shandong or not.

I am obsessed with shipbuilding now, and I want to see how powerful the giant teak ship described by the Holy One is. "

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: “Although teak is mainly produced in Myanmar, teak is also found in Siam.

We first obtained a batch of teak wood from nearby Siam and built several large-scale ships specially used for transportation. Then we went to Myanmar to transport large quantities of teak wood back to Thanh Hoa.

So we acted separately. Jing Yuanbo was responsible for capturing Burma, I was responsible for asking Siam for teak wood, and Governor Yue was responsible for managing 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 formed by local soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi, a total of [-] troops gathered into Annan territory.

Governor Yang will lead [-] Jing'an troops southward to guard the southern prefectures.

Especially Shenghua Mansion in the far south. The Champa Kingdom claimed that Shenghua Mansion was the land occupied by Annan, so it refused to withdraw its troops there.

The [-] forbidden troops that Lord Annan sent to resist the invasion of Champa were now scattered in the mountains and forests of Shenghua Mansion as guerrillas. "

Yang Xinmin asked: "How far should we fight?"

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Let's negotiate slowly while fighting. After Annan surrendered, the former king of Champa, Maha Beng, they captured fell into our hands. This is a trump card.

You know, the Holy Emperor deliberately delayed whether he could canonize the current king of Champa.

Therefore, Mahabenko is the king of Champa recognized by our Ming Dynasty. In this way, there will be more room for maneuver. "

Yang Xinmin sighed: "Your Majesty can even calculate this, which means that he was planning Annan and Champa two years ago?"

Xu Youzhen bowed to the north and said: "I am born a saint. I am very lucky to meet the Ming Lord."

After that, Xu Youzhen added: "Also, the inspector should be responsible for Enke's affairs. This is very important. Sending Annan students to take Enke and then come back to serve as officials after passing the exam will be more conducive to maintaining Annan's reputation." Stablize.

After Emperor Taizong captured Annan, he did not allow Annan natives to serve as officials. This was one of the reasons why the Annan people were dissatisfied with the imperial court and insisted on rebelling.

Now we must learn lessons and appease Annan's dignitaries, wealthy families, gentry and scholars.

Moreover, at the beginning of the month, the original Li royal family had already rushed to the capital along with the returning Xiaoqiying and Duoyanwei.

Without them here, we must be even more cautious in our actions and not provoke a civil uprising. "

Everyone nodded and had no objections to the division of labor arrangements, so they went about their business separately.

At the same time, Wang Ji led his army to march thousands of miles and stationed in Luchuan.

Then Wang Ji led the main force from Luchuan south to attack Awa, the capital of Myanmar. Chen Mao and Mingxi both sent troops from Taungoo to attack Awa.

Liang Yuan led a partial force of [-] troops to attack Mengyang, Si's last stronghold.
