Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 590: One Governor and Four Fu Annan Shipbuilding took advantage of the situation to capture the city
Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "Then I have doubts about your words. Since I came to the throne, have I treated my ministers like nothing? Why did a lot of civil servants and military generals launch a mutiny in the capital and wanted to kill me and support the restoration of my eldest brother? ?

How did I feel sorry for them?Well, I was engaged in vassal reform at the time, and the vassal kings turned against me. It's human nature, and I don't blame them.

But what did the civil servants, nobles, and generals say?Why do I treat them so little that they want to treat me as an enemy? "

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Qiyu stood up and smiled at everyone: "I know you don't want me to be the emperor. In your hearts, my eldest brother is the orthodox one.

But there is no other way. My family needs a way to survive. It is impossible for me to return the throne to you just because you regard me as an enemy.

The [-] Beijing troops from the south are coming back. You can raise troops to appease the enemy. I accept victory. "

After speaking, Zhu Qiyu hurried home without waiting for the ministers' reaction.The ministers were left standing there looking at each other.

……

In Hanoi City, Annan Province, the original royal palace has been slightly renovated and transformed into the Palace of the King of Viet Nam.

Although the King of Yue was only three years old, he had to put up the sign first so that the people of Annan would have something to think about.As for Li Jun, the last emperor of the Li Dynasty, he has now spent the rest of his life in Qiongzhou.

Li Jun also has three brothers, two of whom also went to Qiongzhou together.Only the youngest brother Li Sicheng, king of Pingyuan, was left in Beijing by Zhu Qiyu.

The original Zuo Xiang's Palace was changed into the Governor's Palace by Xu Youzhen.

While Zhu Qiyu was talking to the officials in Beijing about Confucian benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trustworthiness, Xu Youzhen was lying on a rocking chair in the Governor's Mansion, drinking tea leisurely, and started the Huang-Lao School, governing by doing nothing. .

Two pretty maids, one on the left and one on the right, were shaking their round fans.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Xu Youzhen was enjoying himself, the four governors came to visit him.

Since Zhu Qiyu split the northern part of the original Annan and assigned it to Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong respectively, these three provinces changed their indifferent attitude towards Annan during the Yongle, Hongxi, and Xuande dynasties.

The three provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong, both the government and the private sector, are now willing to work together to develop Annan.

Xu Youzhen stood up and greeted Zhen Wan, the governor of Guangxi, Yang Xinmin, the governor of Guangdong, Yue Zheng, the governor of Shandong, and Xue Xilian, the governor of Fujian.

Xue Xilian, the governor of Fujian, appeared here to snatch teak wood from Yue Zheng, the governor of Shandong.Moreover, the emperor also sent Li Shulin, the Ming Dynasty's master of firearms and the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, to build the ship. Naturally, Xue Xilian could not just sit back and watch Yue Zheng take all the benefits.

Fujian, Zhejiang and Shandong compete with each other, both trying to build the most powerful navy.

But this time the four of them came to Xu Youzhen together because they received the news that Emperor Gongrang had been deposed as King Yi.

Xue Xilian took the lead and asked: "The Holy One asked all local officials to write a letter expressing their views on the deposed emperor. What should we say?"

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "You can say whatever you want, but you don't know how much the Holy One values ​​Annan. All the officials who can participate in the management of Annan are trusted by the Holy One."

So let's just work down-to-earth and don't worry about the messy things in the capital. "

The two maids were dismissed, and Xue Xilian continued to ask: "Prince Yi and the Crown Prince went to Nanjing just like this? I don't want to be nosy, but this battle for the throne ended too quickly."

Xu Youzhen replied: "He Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs once said: The father owns the world and it should be passed on to the son. Now that the government situation is clear, we no longer have to look around and can do things with peace of mind.

How is the warship being built? "

Speaking of warships, Xue Xilian was happy: "Don't tell me, this teak is really the best material for building warships. It is hard in texture, resistant to corrosion and insect damage, and the key is that it expands and shrinks very little. Who came up with it? Use teak wood to build a giant ocean-going ship?”

Xu Youzhen smiled and said: "Of course it was the Holy One who came up with it. We built the warship and then went to recover the old port.

After a small test of their skills and verifying the power of the fleet, both the Fujian and Guangdong navies secretly gathered in Shandong.

The first war of the Ming Navy was aimed at Japan.

And in the first battle, its navy must be completely destroyed.Because in the first battle, the opponent does not know our details. Only by calculating with intention and without intention can we obtain the greatest result at the smallest cost. "

Zhen Wan was a little confused when he heard this: "Listen to this, does the Holy One want to start a war on all the vassal countries?"

Yue Zheng explained: "What the Holy One means is that in the far west, a more powerful enemy is rising. So we must quickly Chineseize the vassal states around the Ming Dynasty and firmly block the strategic locations.

There will definitely be a war between the East and the West in the future. This is the key.Only by understanding this can we understand the behavior of the Holy One. "

Zhen Wan shook his head: "These are too far away for me, and I can't understand them at the moment. They are nothing compared to the time you have spent with the Holy Master.

But the Jing'an central defender and Jing'an defender in Guangxi are already fully staffed.There were also groups of Yao people, crying and clamoring to join the Jing'an Guard.

I can't help but give us no more places. "

It turns out that the Yao people were incorporated into the Jing'an Army and made great contributions to the recovery of Annan with the bravery of the Guangxi wolf soldiers.Later, the Jing'an Army was reorganized into the Jing'an Guard by Xu Youzhen.

Each Jing'an Guard officer was allocated land based on his meritorious service, and the least one could be allocated one hundred acres.All other rewards and treatment are also generous.

Therefore, the Yao people, who had always been restless, no longer caused chaos, but scrambled to join the Jing'an Guard so that they could "kill the enemy and serve the country."

There are nine guards in Jingan, each with 600 people.A total of 5 people were quickly filled.

Xu Youzhen asked Yang Xinmin, "Mr. Yang, what do you think we should do?"

Yang Xinmin, who has always loved the people like his own children and had a high prestige among the Yao people, was forced to turn into a militant this time: "Let's attack Champa.

We will then organize the Yao people of Guangdong and Guangxi to create a city guard, and the city guard can organize [-] Yao people.

Now that the land in Annan has been divided, we can only capture Champa and then divide the land in Champa.

In this way, Jing'an and Zhancheng had a total of [-] Yao people.

These wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi are powerful in combat.Each of them has been allocated a large area of ​​land, so they will naturally support the Holy Emperor and help the court to maintain its rule in Annan and Champa.

It is much better than the Xuande Dynasty, when tens of thousands of Ming troops were trapped in several cities alone. "

Xu Youzhen nodded and said with a smile: "This is a strategy that has been planned by the Holy Emperor a long time ago. Using the method of dividing the fields and rewarding silver, the brave and capable wolf soldiers in Guangxi and Guangdong are encouraged to assist the imperial court in ruling Annan. This can avoid a large number of Beijing troops stationed in Annan for a long time. It can also ensure that Annan will have long-term peace and stability, making it difficult to rebel.

It's really a killing with one stone. I think it won't take two years for the remaining Tiance Guard soldiers to return to the capital. "
