The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 524
Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, took Yang Zhong, an official of the Ministry of Rites, who had returned from Guangxi, to report the situation in Annan to Zhu Gaochi.

"Before I went to Guangxi, the King of Gaoyang County had sent local officials to Annan to understand the situation. This is a written statement between Annan and his elders."

The official document in Yang Zhong's hand was forwarded by the eunuch. After reading it, Zhu Gaochi felt a little confused.

What is written in the summary letter is that after visiting the ministers and squires of Annan, the situation is that the royal family of Annan is indeed extinct.

"The Chen family's 'subordinates and common people have been wiped out, and there is no successor', so the Hu family will inherit it."

"Who is this Hu? And Hu claims to be the nephew of Chen. He was elected as king. Please ask my grandpa to be canonized. On what basis? He can be supported as a king just by relying on the name of benevolence. king?"

Zhu Gaochi didn't know what happened.

Historically, a coup did occur in Annan. Why did the people sent there find out that the Annan royal family was dead?

What you see with your own eyes cannot be fake.

So Zhu Gaochi was confused, and all his plans and expectations were wrong.

Annan is not an easy place to conquer, because the farming civilization will form its own civilization, and it is easier to share the same enemy than other regions.

The failure of the Mongolian invasion of Japan had nothing to do with luck. It was entirely due to poor navigation skills. It was most likely caused by collective manipulation by Han craftsmen.

Zhu Di organized seven voyages to the Western Ocean. The scale of the fleet was larger than that of the Mongolian invasion of Japan, and the routes were more complicated and unfamiliar, but there was no accident.

Similarly, Mongolia invaded Annan three times, and Annan actually repulsed Mongolia. Although there were geographical reasons, the determination to resist showed how determined it was.

When Zhu Di regained Annan, although the process was repeated, it was successful because Annan was not strong in resisting.

It later failed because it failed to properly absorb the local Chinese elite.

The productivity of the Ming Dynasty was higher than that of Annan. Without policy support, the local elites could not compete with the elites of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi's plan was to focus on politics for Annan and reduce the degree of fighting among the same roommates.

As the last haven of Chinese civilization, Annan has made great contributions in history.

The survivors of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty all found a good living environment in Annan.

It's just that during the Song Dynasty's survivors period, Annan's ruling class was Chinese, while during the Ming Dynasty's survivors period, Annan was split into north and south.

In the former Champa state, the ruling class was Chinese, but in the former Annan region, the ruling class was no longer Chinese.

Therefore, the survivors of the Ming Dynasty received a relaxed environment in the southern region, where they could serve as officials and do business, no different from those in the past.

However, the Ming Dynasty survivors in the northern region were required to change their customs. There were many restrictions and the living environment was not relaxed.

This is the importance and difference of being passed down from generation to generation.

When people in mainland China are in trouble, they want nothing in return. The ones who lend a helping hand are always the overseas compatriots, and the other groups will only extend a devil's hand.

So now.

Zhu Gaochi will definitely treat the Chinese in Annan as fellow tribesmen, rather than governing them as foreigners. In short, he will not govern them as toughly as he treats other countries and regions.

The most difficult thing for Zhu Gaochi is that if he wants to conquer Southeast Asia, he must master Annan and use Annan as a stepping stone to extend his influence deep into the surrounding countries.

Weaken the courage of other countries to resist and reduce the obstacles to Ming's outward expansion.

Therefore, whether the current king of Annan came to power through a coup or was elected, the obstacles for Zhu Gaochi were very different.

Historically, the king of Annan came to power through a coup, but the current king, according to the information obtained by the minister, was elected to the throne, which means he won the hearts and minds of the people.

Zhu Gaochi had to wonder what went wrong.

Neither Lu Zhen nor Yang Zhong dared to answer.

Because the content of the summary document is indeed somewhat incredible.

Annan is not a small country. The king who is the leader of a country has no shortage of women. How can it be so easy to "be destroyed by his concubines".

Even if there is no legitimate son and there are cousins ​​to inherit, how can the wastewater flow into the fields of outsiders?

However, it can be said that the conclusion is fake, and it was specially verified by officials sent by the King of Gaoyang County. It cannot be seen with the naked eye, so it must be fake. "I would like to invite the special envoy Annan."

When the superior asked a question, he had to answer it. Yang Zhong could only say cautiously, choosing to make another hard trip on his own.

Zhu Gaochi agreed.

Fortunately, the railway opened to Guilin, Guangxi. Otherwise, a year would have passed by just these two trips. Now it only takes more than a month, and most of the time would still be wasted in Annan.

Zhu Gaochi could afford to wait for a month or two.

Only by regaining Annan can his demands on other countries be implemented. Otherwise, if the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who cares who your Ming Dynasty is.

Even if you send a fleet to clean up one by one, after many years have passed, the fastest efficiency is to shock everyone at once and make people dare not refuse.

It is also one of Zhu Gaochi's goals to absorb elites from other countries who are committed to Chinese civilization. Blind killing is not the right way and cannot last long.

Guangxi.

Guilin.

In the Jingjiang Prince's Mansion, Zhu Gaoxu was already well. According to the instructions of the Jinzhou doctors, he was moving around in the courtyard to a small extent.

After leaving the gate of hell, Zhu Gaoxu's temperament became calmer, like a sword being sheathed.

Yang Zhong paid a visit to the Prince of Gaoyang County.

"Brother has doubts about Annan's petition?"

Zhu Gaoxu narrowed his eyes, "Are you guessing that the official told lies and why?"

"No one knows what the situation is, so let the foreign minister make a trip in person." Yang Zhong did not admit it, and it was unreasonable for officials to tell lies.

"I know that my eldest brother wants to regain Annan, so he sent people to Annan in a hurry last time. This time you go to Annan, you need to make more friends and have a deeper understanding of Annan's traffic situation."

Zhu Gaoxu did not embarrass Yang Zhong, and said: "If you can do whatever you can, you must still put your own safety first."

"Follow the order of Gaoyang County King." Yang Zhong nodded and said.

Familiar with the road.

It was still the same escort team as before, but the standard was much larger, because Yang Zhong was sent by the imperial court and represented the imperial court.

Annan had received the news and sent ministers to greet him.

Entering Annan territory.

The mission went smoothly, as if everything was normal, but Yang Zhong was becoming more and more confused.

night.

Yang Zhong called everyone together. Outside were Annan's soldiers.

"Is the route this time different from the route last time?" Yang Zhong asked the sentry officer.

The sentry nodded.

"Last time, there were not many teams that came to Annan, but they visited many cities and were warmly received everywhere. Now it seems that they are all taking remote roads."

Yang Zhong changed color.

"No way?"

The deputy envoy guessed what Yang Zhong was thinking. He didn't quite believe that Annan's daring to do this was any different from rebellion.

Yang Zhong didn't know what the problem was, but he felt the danger. This famous diplomat in history was not a mediocre person.
