Including Zhu Yunxi, the Qianqing Palace was temporarily silent.
The king of Champa wants to bring his army and people into the territory of the Ming Dynasty?
This time...we weren't forced...we weren't the ones who spoke first, right? Was he willing?
~
At this time, I saw Li Jinglong bowing down with great salute and speaking passionately, "My lord, congratulations to my emperor for his mighty virtues that spread far and wide. All the foreigners in the world will surrender, and all the people will submit to our country!"
"Since ancient times, there have been dynasties with great military power, but none of them have made those other countries sincerely convert and become Chinese subjects like my dynasty."
"God bless China for its vastness and boundlessness, God bless the Ming Dynasty for its unparalleled magnificence, God bless our emperor...his holy virtue will last forever!"
"Is the king of Champa going to be included in the territory of China?"
Zhu Yunxi recited it silently in his mind. He wanted to automatically filter out Li Jinglong's praises. However, he was also a human being!
As a human being, you can’t listen to nice words!
He tried his best to control his expression while secretly observing the officials.
The reaction of the military ministers was slightly dull, while the civil servants were full of excitement, their eyes shining brightly.
In fact, strictly speaking, the most belligerent people in the Ming Empire today are not these military ministers, but these civil servants.
When facing other vassal states, often before the warriors shouted to fight or kill, they would always shout, "How about launching a million troops!"
It's understandable, after all, the civil servants' concept of the territory and population of the empire is that the more the better!
However, there are also sober people among civil servants.
Zhang Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, pondered for a moment, and after the congratulations from the ministers, he slowly said, "This is a common method used by a foreign country to say that it will submit to China. Can this letter of credence be taken seriously?"
"It's absolutely true!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "When the envoys of the Ming Dynasty arrived in Champa, the king would cry three times a day, recounting how he had been bullied by Annan over the years..."
"It doesn't matter whether he is sincere or not. What is important is that as long as he opens his mouth, he will not be able to go back on his words in the future!"
Zhu Yunxi secretly thought, "I think that the Champa King has been bullied by Annan all these years. I thought that instead of ceding territory every day and asking for peace, it would be better to simply join the Ming Dynasty and become a wealthy and idle man!"
The reason why Annan Li Jiya was able to have such great power in Annan was because he repeatedly launched wars against Champa and won great victories every time.
Since the 23rd year of Hongwu, there have been no less than five military operations involving more than 200,000 troops. The most prosperous areas in the city are now included in Annan's possession.
Last year, Li Jiyou's confidants led an army of 200,000 to attack the capital city and burned, killed and looted.
In fact, Annan is a very strange country. On the one hand, it claims to be the authentic inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, but on the other hand, it continues to annex and invade surrounding countries.
Moreover, on the one hand, he expressed his submission to Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, he would show his teeth and claws at Ming Dynasty from time to time.
This is very similar to a certain Smecta in later generations...
Both inferior and self-respecting, Yelang is arrogant. He often interprets others' kindness towards him as others being afraid of him! He always wants to take advantage of others, thinking that others dare not beat him.
In fact, he has never thought about a question at all: Who is a good person who steps on stinking shit?
I am fucking porcelain, what are you?
Take the old man as an example, why did he decide on fifteen countries that would not be conquered?
With the power of the country at that time, a mighty army that could win every battle, a fierce general like a bear or a tiger, it could swallow up thousands of miles. How could it be so difficult to defeat the surrounding countries, which were easily accessible?
Because those vassal states are not enough to cause trouble to China, they are ruining the lives of our innocent Chinese, and they are useless places and unimpeded countries. It is a useless achievement!
To put it bluntly, it's not that I won't hit you, it's because you don't look in my eyes as a Chinese... No, you guys don't even look in my eyes, so why should I beat you?
This is obviously the ambition of a great country, but it has become a different interpretation in the hearts of Annan in later generations and now.
"Oh, you seem to be easier to bully..."
"Well, provoking you is very fulfilling! You won't beat me anyway!"
"Even if you are really irritated, I can cry! When the time comes, I will tell you that you are bullying the small!"

"How will the King of Champa respond to the issue of sending troops to Annan in the future?"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at the ministers who were still immersed in the supreme glory of the great country, and asked, "Did he say anything practical?"
"The King of Champa stated that the people in the border areas are small and there are few generals, but the state has decreed that all young and old can die for our emperor!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "The King of Champa also said that the reason why his country suffered repeated defeats against Annan is
Repeated fighting is a bad general. Please send your generals to Champa to train your sergeants!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment and then said, "Yes!"
The ragtag group of people occupying the city must be well trained, otherwise they will disperse on the battlefield in the future. Not only will they not become cannon fodder... helpers of the Ming army, they will also become a burden.
"Sending generals to Champa for military training?" Zhu Yunxi asked again, "Do you have any talented people to recommend?"
Li Jinglong immediately said, "Your Majesty, I recommend someone!" After saying that, he paused and said, "The son of Gu Gaoyang Zhongzhuang Marquis, with the title of Guangxi Dusi Commander, Han Guan, the Commander-in-Chief of Guilin!"
Zhu Yunxi knew that this man was the second generation of the founder of the country. As a young man, he entered the East Palace as a bodyguard and sacrificed his life. He was deeply loved by the old man.
Although his title of Commander-in-Chief of Guangxi was an honorary official position, it also meant that once the Marquis of Yongding Zhang Quan stepped down to the second line, he would be the best choice for Guangxi.
This man is very good at leading troops, but he is also very cruel!
His men never took prisoners. Even if one or two of his men among a thousand were spared their lives, it was only to serve as a sounding board.
"Is there any more?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask.
"I have several candidates here!" Wei Guogong Xu Huizu said, "The right guard of Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, is commanding the military officer Zhu Rong!" After saying that, he paused and said, "This man was the pioneer officer of King Qianning when he conquered Yunnan!
"
"There is also the commander of Chengdu Zuowei and the governor Tongzhi Huang Zhong. This person has trained with Guoxin Guogong, Ying Guogong and others in the southwest for many times!"
"actually...."
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi, who had rarely been involved in mobilizing military generals and personnel, said, "Just having generals may not necessarily produce good soldiers. Moreover, the writing and language of the occupied city are not familiar to me, the Ming Dynasty!"
"So I think there should be not only generals, but also soldiers!"
"Bad seed!"
Zhu Yunxi secretly said in his heart that what Zhu Gaochi meant was that the Champa King was begging us anyway, so why not send generals to lead the troops in the name of continuing to train troops.
While helping them capture the city and train their troops, I also helped them strengthen the city's defenses, and then directly took responsibility for the safety of the royal family in the city.
If you want to help, you must help until the end!
"But send troops over there..." University scholar Xie Jin frowned and said, "Champa and Annan are just coming at dawn and dusk. Once our troops in the sky pass, won't Annan start to be on guard...?" Haha!
"Zhu Yunxi smiled.
"Haha!" Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu, Zhu Gaochi and others burst into laughter.
Bachelor Xiao Xie is really unparalleled in the world when it comes to knowledge, but when it comes to fighting... and conspiracy, he is still young!
I sent troops there just to let you, Annan, know.
What do you know?
Do you know what to do?
Do you want to jump?
Or do you want to make a fuss?
Or do you think it’s impossible not to resist, and you want to fight tooth and nail?
Don't forget, Annan, that Champa, like you, is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.
Where will the Ming Dynasty send its troops? Do I need to tell you?
Who are you?
You object to the Ming Dynasty garrisoning troops in Champa. What are your intentions?
The Ming Dynasty wants to press forward step by step...Forcing him, Annan, to jump up and show off his claws with the Ming Dynasty!
