Chapter 241

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "My Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and I should convince people with reason. Your hot temper must be changed."

However, Beilin said grandly: "Going back to the emperor, just now the minister was outside the palace, and he talked to Chen Liulin, Annan's envoy, who suddenly repented and was willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and be the vanguard of the Great Ming's conquest of Annan!"

Cao Nai couldn't help opening his mouth wide, are you really reasoning with people?

I'm just old and my eyes are a little blurry, but I'm not blind!

You look like this... okay?
"it is good!"

Zhu Qizhen looked overjoyed, and said: "People are not sages, and no one has faults. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good. This Chen, Chen... or something, since I have a heart of epiphany, I will call him to the temple. I have my own instructions! "

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Chen Liulin went back to the hall.

This time, he no longer had the arrogant aura just now, but was submissive, and intentionally or unintentionally kept a distance from Belin.

"Sinner Chen Liulin, thank you His Majesty the Emperor for not killing him!"

Zhu Qizhen's eyes fell on Chen Liulin again, secretly planning in his heart.

When Emperor Xuanzong gave up Annan, he naturally had his considerations, but in the long run, it was the whole of Nanyang that he gave up.

From the perspective of future generations, this decision is not wise.

If you come to this world by yourself, you will not let the regrets in history repeat itself.

The problem of Mobei has been resolved, and Annan is next.

This battle is imperative.

Whether there is a reason or not, even if there is no reason, find a reason.

He even considered asking Jin Yiwei to get some white powder, saying that it was a weapon of mass destruction secretly developed by An Nanguo...

Now, the army led by Zhang Fu has set off, and the real killer is the Shenji Battalion led by the younger brother, which has also gone to sea and will soon arrive in Champa.

At least for now, the reasons for leaving the teacher are not enough.

Now that Chen Liulin is coming to your door, you must make good use of it!
"Chen Liulin, what did you just say that I am not as wise as the King of Annan, and that the envoy of the Southern Dynasty met the emperor of the Northern Dynasty..."

"The guilty minister was wrong, wrong... please forgive me, His Majesty the Emperor!"

Chen Liulin was so frightened that he trembled all over, he thought he would say some harsh words and leave in a grandiose manner.

Unexpectedly, the opponent didn't talk about Wude at all, and just gave him a violent beating.

He even threatened to kill himself as long as he left the palace.

This is not an important minister of the country, it looks like street hooligans fighting...

However, looking at this posture, he fully believed that as long as he walked out of the palace, he might really die.

When life and death are at stake, face or something doesn't seem to be that important...

Zhu Qizhen said lightly: "An Nanguo, if you don't obey the way of ministers, it is the law of heaven that I will raise troops to attack them."

"Yes, yes... this is the law of heaven!"

Chen Liulin suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart, and agreed.

Zhu Qizhen sat firmly: "Annan Ni Wang, his clan, ministers, etc., are all accused of treason. As for you... you can take the blame at Honglu Temple, and wait for my Ming soldiers to break through Qinghua. and deal with it.”

Chen Liulin immediately burst into tears, and said with a sob: "Annan, since ancient times, has been the hometown of the great Han Dynasty, and now His Majesty has brought it back to the Han land. I... I am overjoyed."

Zhu Qizhen smiled: "This is what you said yourself, how about this, after you return to Honglu Temple, you should give a memorial first!"

Chen Liulin was a little dazed, and thought that I just said that casually, just to save my life, don't take it seriously!

He obviously wanted to be a loyal minister, but let himself go to this memorial first, wouldn't he be worried about the number one traitor in the Southern Kingdom?
Zhu Qizhen said indifferently: "Could it be that the Qing family refuses?"

Chen Liulin gritted his teeth: "I'm overjoyed, I should be a role model for Annan, since the Han Dynasty, Annan has been the land of Han, this is the origin, I should play the role."

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "I'm waiting for your memorial, all right, step back!"

Of course Chen Liulin was not reconciled, but there was nothing he could do.

Now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, so I have to obey obediently.

He thought in his heart that someone will understand his own difficulties in the future, and when the Ming army is defeated in Annan, I will definitely have my grievances avenged.

However, at the moment, life-saving is the most important thing. There is an old saying among the Han people, as long as there are green hills, there is no need to worry about no firewood.

Only by leaving this life, will you have the opportunity to witness the rise of the Southern Dynasties!
Chen Liulin turned to leave, and Bei Lin followed immediately: "Chen Envoy, I'll see you off!"

"Don't...no need, don't bother..."

Chen Liulin staggered and fell to the ground, then scrambled and ran out of the hall.

Beilin shook her head, turned around and said: "Since the emperor is going to abolish the Annan feudal kingdom and re-establish the chief envoy, in my humble opinion, there are still many loyal people in Annan, just like this envoy Chen Liulin, Although he is from Annan, he has profound cultural attainments in the Central Plains, and he is also loyal to me, and I beg your Majesty to reward loyal officials like Chen Liulin so that their reputation will spread throughout the world."

Zhu Qizhen squinted his eyes, and he naturally understood what Belin was planning.

"The Qing family, tell me, what is the right reward for them?"

Seeing that the monarch and his ministers said something to you and me, Cao Nai and others gradually became numb from their initial shock.

Destroy it, hurry up!
tired……

Belin still said enthusiastically: "In this battle, the role of the Shenji Battalion is very important. Why not name the ship carrying the Shenji Battalion the Loyalty Chen Liulin? In this way, not only will Chen Liulin be famous in history, but even the Shenji Battalion will When you are fighting, you are also honored!"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear it anymore, he snorted and laughed.

This Beilene is so bad, she doesn't say anything about beating people, and even pushes people into the fire pit.

Poor Chen Liulin, from now on, he will surely become famous in Annan.

Perhaps because of Zhu Qizhen's influence, the others were all happy.

Even Cao Nai, such a strict old man, couldn't help laughing.

Although Belin is somewhat rebellious and disrespectful on weekdays, it is actually very pleasant physically and mentally to watch him flirt with others.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but said: "I don't think it's enough. In the future, when worshiping the ancestors, his name should also be added to the ancestors. I want to tell the ancestors that this Annan, I don't know how many righteous men who are loyal to the Han Dynasty, Cao Qing's family, when the time comes." You are responsible for this sacrificial oration."

Cao Nai was laughing foolishly, but when he heard this, his face fell down again.

After all, this battle has not yet been fought, so you start thinking about worshiping your ancestors?
If the situation on the front line is not ideal, do you want to save face?
"Sir... according to the order."

After much deliberation, Cao Nai decided to agree first.

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then said: "I think this is not enough, I have to send envoys to Chen Liulin's village, build a stone workshop for him, and give his family loyalty and festivals. Let's just do this, Imperial Academy To compile a "Jiaozhi Loyalty Record" is to select the loyal people in the hometown of Jiaozhi, and make a biography for them, so that they will be famous for hundreds of generations and bequeathed to their descendants. Tang Qing's family, you are responsible for this matter, the head of Zhongyilu I chose Chen Liulin, and I want to accept his deeds of serving Daming when he was in the capital, and I will personally read this biography."

Tang Xinggu saluted and said: "Your Majesty has clear rewards and punishments, I admire you very much!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and said again: "It happens that several Qing families are here, why not discuss how to govern after the imperial court regains Jiaozhi?"

At first glance, these words are true. When Xuanzong gave up Jiaozhi, he failed to deal with the issue of governance. Therefore, how to govern this time is the most important thing.

But the problem is, you haven't hit it yet!
Cao Nai had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, but now that the army has already moved out, the ministers think that we should focus on the marching route. The imperial court is thousands of miles away from Annan, where there are high mountains and dense forests. You need to be cautious when fighting in foreign lands!"

Zhu Qizhen still had a disapproving expression: "The Qing family is worrying too much, just Annan, it's nothing to worry about, the battle can be resolved within a month at most, and now I and Zhu Qing need to discuss the next step as soon as possible. When the good news comes, it can be implemented immediately!"

Cao Nai frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, marching to fight...sometimes, you can't just look at the superficial combat effectiveness. There are many factors that affect the trend of the battle, so don't be careless!"

"Don't worry, I have my own plan!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked again: "Beilen, tell me, for An Nanguo... no, it's cochin, how should we manage it in the future?"

Bellin thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that the southern part of Jiaozhi is an open plain, thousands of miles of fertile fields, rice can be grown three times, and it is the most important granary in the world. Not only that, many places along the coast are very suitable for building good ports. , or go fishing in the sea, there are great benefits. Moreover, Jiaozhi was originally the homeland of the Han Dynasty, and there are not a few people who admire the Han culture. In fact, who will rule, what difference does it make to them? I heard that there are also a large number of Han people in Jiaozhi, and now I hear that they have returned to the imperial court, and I am overjoyed."

Cao Nai couldn't help but said: "Although Jiaozhi is the homeland of the Han Dynasty, after all these years have passed, and there are lessons learned from Emperor Taizong, these people have long been renounced. If they let it go, I'm afraid they will still be turbulent and will continue to work hard for the king."

More than 20 years ago, at the beginning of Emperor Xuanzong's succession to the throne, he ordered the withdrawal of troops on the grounds that "for several years, one side has been restless and has repeatedly worked hard for the king's division".

After the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops, Li Li immediately issued the "Pingwu Dagao", saying that his own struggle against the Ming Dynasty was "an act of benevolence and righteousness. It should be in the peace of the people, and the army that hangs and cuts down, don't go to violence first." The feudal domains are different, and the customs of the north and the south are also different." Therefore, it was necessary to break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty and establish a country by itself, so the Hou Li Dynasty was established.

Over the years, since Daming has been harassed by the Mongols in Mobei and the Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast, there is no time to look south.

An Nanguo took the opportunity to send troops to the south to attack Champa.

With the continuous victories on the front line, An Nanguo also began to become arrogant. He wanted to emulate the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the year, regarding Ming as the Northern Dynasty and calling himself the Southern Dynasty.

Cao Nai's worry was not unreasonable. He failed to keep it at the beginning, and now he does it again. Who knows if he will repeat the same mistake.

Bellin pondered for a moment, and then said: "I have millions of military households in Ming Dynasty, and many of them have lost their combat functions. Many people live in hunger and cold. The main reason is that the military farmland is scarce enough for them to make a living. , How about moving these people to Annan, making them farm in Thanh Hoa and Thang Long, and encouraging everyone to catch sea fish, enough to make them self-sufficient and feed hundreds of thousands of troops, it’s not a problem.”

Cao Nai thought for a while, and said: "The military households stationed in Annan can not only strengthen the rule, but also reduce the burden on the country. It is an idea that kills two birds with one stone."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "Since this is the case, the cabinet issued an imperial decree, ordering Zhang Fu, the king of Jing'an County, to temporarily lead the army to town Shenglong, Qinghua and other places. Jiaozhi. Since Jiaozhi is the southern barrier of Ming Dynasty, let’s set it as the capital of Jiaozhi!”

The chief envoy and the capital are different. Generally speaking, the inland has a chief envoy, while the border town has a capital.

The Dusi, the full name of the Du Commanding Envoy, is a military institution, and at the same time, it also takes care of the civil affairs.

For example, Datong, before conquering Mobei, it was called the capital of Datong. After regaining Mobei, Datong was no longer a border town, so it withdrew the capital and changed it to the chief minister. This is the reason.

Of course, although the ranks are the same, the capital is more powerful, and at the same time, the responsibility is also very important.

Since then, Annan's main problem has been how to manage it. A large number of immigrants have arrived there, which will be the foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule. At that time, a group of Annan people will be recruited, and they will gradually gain a foothold. These military households and immigrants can only support themselves. , in order to reproduce from generation to generation, and to firmly grasp that piece of fertile soil within the territory of Ming Dynasty.

In the future, this Jiaozhi will become an important thoroughfare for voyages to the West. At that time, commerce and trade can be used to further strengthen the rule.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly, and then said: "In that case, Zhu Qing, let's prepare as soon as possible!"

Cao Nai was about to say goodbye and leave when he suddenly thought of a question.

No, we didn't come to you to discuss how to levy Annan or how to strengthen the rule. We came to you for something!
"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the machine for striving for success should be left to the craftsmen to study. The cabinet's memorials have piled up like a mountain. You should go and have a look!"

These words were already very tactful, and they almost pointed their noses and scolded the faint king.

As the king of a country, he fiddles with all those strange tricks and tricks, and ignores major affairs in the court. Isn't this stupid or what?
Zhu Qizhen scratched his head, and said: "You talk about this matter, the king is not here, the cabinet will just deal with it..."

"No, Your Majesty!"

Cao Nai was very emotional and said, "It's unreasonable to act like this!"

Zhu Qizhen shook his head secretly, it was really embarrassing for this old gentleman, logically speaking, the emperor doesn't care about things, what a great opportunity, you have to seize it!

However, Cao Nai seems to have no awareness of being a minister of power at all, and his attitude is very firm.

"Okay then, Belin, you continue to stare at the experiment these few days, if you make any progress, please let me know in time!"

In desperation, Zhu Qizhen had no choice but to compromise.

Isn't it just to review a few memorials, can't I go...
