Chapter 319 All the way (1)
As the Ming Dynasty rulers and ministers expected, after being beaten by 300 Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, Annan directly put on a desperate posture.
According to the inside report of the Jinyiwei in Annan, Annan seemed to be afraid of the Ming Dynasty's revenge, so the army gathered on the border at the first time, and there were 150,000.
No matter how much water there was among these fifteen people, how many were the strong men who were temporarily pulled onto the battlefield, it was all astronomical. Moreover, while the army was strictly guarding the enemy, Annan also implemented a solid wall and clearing the fields.
All major traffic routes were destroyed and waterways were blocked. The people of the city and villages were driven to the mainland, and once the war started, they would not leave any possibility for the Ming army to support the war.
Annan was facing a great enemy and was about to fight with the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, this was a stupid strategy to destroy his martial arts.
Just imagine, are the people willing to leave their hometown?
It is the summer harvest season, how will they live after leaving their homeland? And the 150,000 army that was temporarily pieced together will cause the separation of people's flesh and blood?
Before the Ming army arrived, Annan had resentment and the people's hearts were gone!
Just when the Annan people breathed a sigh of relief and thought the Ming army was coming, the Ming army was extremely calm, and only a letter of inquiry came.
This surprised Annan. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not send troops to attack? Instead, he asked about the reason for this battle. Moreover, there was no such arrogant tone in his words!
So in an instant, the caliber of Annan's already unified country, working together to resist the Ming Dynasty, suddenly loosened again.
The Lord's Religious Sect suggested sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty to explain the situation, saying that the battle was done by Chen Gongsu, the Sanjiang pacifier, and it had nothing to do with the Annan court.
Some people even say that when they carry gold, silver and treasures to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, they will strive for the understanding of the Ming Emperor.
Of course, some people say that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was rude and was only threatening Annan and would not actually use troops. As long as Annan gave enough face to the Ming Dynasty and gave the Emperor of Ming Dynasty a step forward.
In short, the anger they were holding was dispersed because of an edict from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty! Their heart, which had barely calculated, also had cracks again.
Therefore, the Annan people were once again led by the Ming Dynasty in diplomacy. They thought they could solve it through diplomatic means, but they did not know that this was just a trick used by the Ming Dynasty to paralyze them.
Just when Annan's envoy tried his best to rush to the Ming Dynasty's capital, Zhu Yunyu had decided to go to the front line to work on the army in person.
Moreover, when calculating the days and taking action against Annan, it was the day when Annan envoy was waiting for an audience in Beijing.
The people of Annan never imagined that the Ming Dynasty would be so insidious!
~~
It was midsummer in August, and Zhu Yunxi decided to get on and head to Guangxi.
The ministers' dissuasion was very fierce, but all the memorials about discouraging the emperor from leaving the capital were left unpublished.
On the fourth day of the eighth month, a very simple edict was issued in the Qianqing Palace, "Appoint the crown prince to supervise the country and the ministers of the king in the southern study room to assist him."
The imperial edict was very simple, but the next list of people who accompanied the emperor and stayed in Beijing was very intriguing.
Marquis of Anlu Wu Jie, Marquis of Anyuan Wang De, Prince Hu Guan, and Li Jian followed him.
Because Duke Cao Li Jinglong led the Ma Bu army to serve as a guard.
The general was Ping'an, Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, and Prince-in-law Mei Yin, who stayed in the capital.
In addition, the Chengen Marquis Zhao Sili completely took over the patrol of the capital, and the emperor's mother tribe, Duke Zheng Changsheng, Duke Baoguo Lan Chun and others, were still in charge of the city defense.
The emperor was willful and could hand over the huge country to the prince who had not yet been given a haircut, and use royal ministers as aid. But at the same time, it also eliminated all uneasiness factors.
On the sixth day of the eighth month, the emperor set off at Guanghua Gate.
Zhu Yunqiu did not choose to go by water, but insisted on going by land. He wanted to take a good look at the empire he ruled, and it seemed that he might not have looked at the country well for a long time.
~~
In the hot summer, the mountains, rivers and rivers outside the car window are lush.
The countryside always seems to be cooler than the city. Perhaps it is because there are not so many people in Wuyang, perhaps it is because there are not so many traffic, or perhaps it is because there are not so many noisy and extravagant.
Walking in the fields in the countryside, the breeze comes to you. Even if it is really warm, it is still warm and is definitely not as annoying as in the city.
The carriage was walking on the road with slightly ups and downs.
Deng Ping sat cross-legged on the shaft of the car, looking around with a slightly nervous look.
Next to the carriage, more than a dozen knights were also on the verge of alertness.
For example, Duke Cao Li Jinglong, Duke Anyuan Wang De, and He Guangyi and others controlled the reins with one hand, while the other hand was always hanging in the skin hanging in the saddle.
Inside is a short musket with the machine head open.
Needless to ask, Zhu Yunxiu was sitting in the carriage!
Since you want to take a good look at this country, you can't follow the brigade. Otherwise, those who are huddled in front of you and hugged you, and the officials, gentry and people will kneel down to greet you, and long live the mountains.
All I saw were all safe people carefully selected by local officials. The ancestors were all good people for the 18th generation, so that’s a big deal!
So, after he left Beijing, he directly hailed Jian Sui and took some guards to disguise himself.
"What are you doing so nervous?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and lifted the curtain, came out of the car directly, sat on the shaft, looked at the beautiful scenery of the farmland in front of him, and said with a smile.
"I'm afraid there will be strong people in broad daylight?"
"Emperor..." Li Jinglong just spoke, and saw Zhu Yunxiu frowning slightly, he quickly changed his words, "Our family, after all, it's not as good as the capital's best place outside, so it's better to be careful!"
"Actually, it's only been these years that my Ming Dynasty was unparalleled in prosperity, and the local area was peaceful!" It was not very hot, but the prince-in-law Hu Guan was sweating all over his head and said, "In the early years, there were some people who robbed people and robbed people!"
As he said that, he pointed to the farmers who were bent down in the fields and continued, "Don't look at these people who looked honest, but they turned into robbers in the evening earlier than that... they were robbers! He took his nephew and took the weapons, and saw the lonely merchants slashing them..."
"So you can only know etiquette if you have enough warehouses!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at the vast farmland and smiled, "I couldn't eat enough in the early years. If I could eat enough in these years, the people would not do such unethical things!"
"That may not be..." Hu Guan said in his heart.
In fact, he knew about it all the way, and there were several groups of unknown people who looked like they were rich businessmen.
"It's all for the great blessings of the current emperor!" Li Jinglong smiled, "The country is prosperous and the people are safe and prosperous in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Yunxiu curled his lips and smiled, "Life is what the people live by themselves, what does it have to do with the emperor?"
"It's natural that it's related. My Ming Dynasty canceled the cap tax from all dynasties, and the people saved a lot of money! Then the provinces checked the hidden population of the land-free people, and all the landless people gave the land to their land to make them live and work in peace and contentment! Moreover, the self-cultivated farmers' homes have repeatedly reduced taxes to allow their families to have a surplus!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Just as you said just now, the warehouse has been paid in full!"
"Haha!" Zhu Yunsheng laughed a few times.
"There are also the officials and gentry who are in the new policy to pay the food together!" Li Jinglong continued, "In the past, they were all grains in the Long March, and officials, gentry, landlords put up their hands to fill their pockets. Originally, the court had decided one, but the people had to pay at least two."
"Now that the people pay the grain directly to the government, not only does they lose conscience exploitation, but the extra grain can also be sold at a good price!" Li Jinglong continued to smile, "This is how people's family lives. Leave more this year and accumulate more next year. You can build a new house and buy big animals in the next year..."
"Haha!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled again.
"The court still has so much tax, but the people pay less!" Li Jinglong said again, "The money that falls into his hands is the chicken coop in front of the house and the pigpen behind the house... men work in the field, and women weave cloth and raise silkworms at home."
