Although, although this war has not determined the final time for sending troops.
But almost everyone knows that war is imminent.
Let us take the scene from the military camp in Guilin, Guangxi, back to the capital of the Ming Empire, the Forbidden City of Yingtianfu.
~
In the midsummer of July, under the sunshine, the animal head on the roof becomes more and more ferocious.
In Le Zhi Zhai, a huge map hangs on the wall.
Mountains, rivers, open and hidden roads, villages and towns, even where there are wells and where there are ferries are all clearly marked.
Zhu Yunxi was dressed in the uniform of a warrior, which made his strong body particularly tall and straight. He stood in front of the map and looked up, his eyes deep and fanatical.
As human beings, or even soldiers, most people do not want to see war.
And for a person like him who is superior, even though he knows the damage that war can do to the country and knows that people will die in war, he still can't control his desire for territory and the supreme glory that victory in war brings.
One general's achievements have caused thousands of bones to wither, and the glory of the emperor has caused countless people to die in the wilderness wrapped in horse leather!
"Is this map accurate?"
As Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, in the last row behind him, He Guangyi bowed his head and stepped forward.
"Back to the Emperor, this is Jinyiwei's spies in Annan, who have been conducting investigations for two consecutive years!" He Guangyi said loudly, "The surface of the land marked is not wrong at all!" After saying that, he paused, "I put the head on my neck.
Guaranteed, you can’t go wrong!”
"Who wants your head!" Zhu Yunxi smiled with approval, "It is a great achievement to be able to draw Annan's mountains, rivers, transportation thoroughfares, and city defenses within two years!" As he said, he
Look at He Guangyi, "This picture is my Daming's eyes. You did a good job, Jin Yiwei did a good job, you have merit!"
He Guangyi was so excited that he almost got excited.
Now he really needs a great achievement to redeem his impression in the emperor's mind, and even more needs a great achievement to prove himself. He Guangyi is still the emperor's most trusted hunting dog.
"In this battle, our Ming army will be divided into three groups!"
The commander-in-chief Ping An stood beside Zhu Yunxi, and Langxheng said, "The fourth prince will directly lead the troops all the way from Siming Mansion in Guangxi...to the Annanpo Barrier Pass."
"The other route, led by Zhang Quan, Marquis of Yongding, set out from Mengzi County, Yunnan, passed through Yepuman and entered Annan, and captured the fierce pass, Hua Pass and other places..."
"If the war goes well, the two armies will merge and attack the three prefectures of Annan..."
Rujun, the Minister of War, said, "The war must have gone smoothly at the beginning. After investigation... the Annan Li thieves mobilized millions of soldiers and civilians to defend along the Kyoto, Xidu, and Xuanjiang, Tuojiang, and Fuliang rivers across the river!"
"The danger of Annan's river is their biggest reliance! After investigation, Annan's army built additional earthen cities along the river. The walled city stretched for more than 900 miles, and killed more than two million people from the states north of Annan's river!"
Speaking of this, Ru Jin sneered, "The Li thieves want to fight a protracted war with the Ming Dynasty. They think that once September comes and the weather is hot and humid and the miasma is rampant, they will fight back!"
"But, he will be defeated!" Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, standing next to Zhu Yunxi, was not willing to be outdone, and immediately said, "First, the Li thieves are usurpers of the throne, and when I, the Ming Dynasty, seek Annan, it is not His Majesty the Emperor's land of Annan, but Fengtian.
Crack down on the people and commit crimes."
"Secondly, the Li thieves are unpopular. They have not had any good governance since usurping the throne, and they still have to recruit millions of soldiers and civilians... which makes the people lament that the people are in dire straits, and An Neng cannot be defeated!"
At this time, Zhu Yunxi turned back again and looked at He Guangyi, "Well done!"
"My lord..." He Guangyi choked and knelt on the ground.
The two verses from Ru Yu's mouth refer to the blood and tears of the Jin Yiwei. The Jin Yiwei spies in Annan were all-pervasive and did everything they could to spy on military intelligence.
But for this reason, we also lost a lot of manpower!
The reason why the Ming Dynasty has such a clear control over Annan's military situation is all due to the Jinyiwei.
"Give me a python robe!"
"My lord..." He Guangyi raised his head and cried, "Kowtow to thank God!"
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Your Majesty, there is actually something else. There are officials in Annan who are willing to take refuge in our Ming Dynasty. The reason why I have not reported it is because it is not yet clear how sincere the other party is!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who wants to tell you?"
"The general magistrate of the three prefectures of Annan, the magistrate of Nance Prefecture and others." He Guangyi said loudly, "The Jinyiwei spies were spying on the military situation in Annan, and they relied on buying off these Annan officials! After learning that our country is preparing to use troops against Annan,
Those officials all expressed that they did not dare to be enemies of the Celestial Empire."
"The next day, as soon as our heavenly soldiers arrive, they will bring all the soldiers and civilians to open the city to welcome the king!"
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "check the authenticity quickly and tell the Annan officials who want to join the Ming Dynasty! If you are really willing to join the Ming Dynasty, I will not hesitate to reward you with wealth and honor!"
"According to the order!" He Guangyi stood up, "I will do it now!" He said, gritting his teeth again, "Your Majesty, I requested the order to leave the capital and go to Annan in person!"
"No!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head, "You stay in the capital!"
"This line of defense in Annan can be said to have been carefully planned!" Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at the map and said again, "The battle between the boat divisions is directed by Annan..."
"What Rubu Tang said is different!" Li Jinglong laughed from the sidelines, "Long Live Lord has deployed another group of heavenly troops. No matter what the city's boat masters are, they will all be turned into powder!"
"I have ordered the Jing Navy to march to the Annan Sea... Most of the Jing Navy will go straight to Hanoi Port, the capital of Annan! There is also the Guangdong Navy to fight with my fourth uncle!"
Li Jinglong added, "Although the Guangdong Navy's ships are mostly river warships, they are all equipped with artillery! No matter what the walled city is, just bomb it!"
"My Holy Emperor!" Everyone bowed and praised.
"Long live the Lord! He is more than a sage!"
Seeing that Zhu Yunxi looked very good, Li Jinglong said again, "There are also two groups of strange troops, one from Burma and two from Champa. The governor also knows Han Guan, and he will lead the Ming and Champa coalition forces to march from the south of Annan.
!”
As he spoke, he knelt down violently, "We have our Ming Tiger and Wolf divisions to the north of Annan, our allied forces of the vassal states to the south, and our Ming navy on the sea...Long live my emperor who has laid out such a dragnet. I want the thieves of Annan to have wings."
There’s no way to escape!”
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "What does it have to do with me? Military and state affairs are all decided by the joint discussion of all your beloved ministers, and I also pooled our wisdom."
"My emperor has a far-sighted vision and anticipates the enemy like a god!" Li Jinglong continued loudly, "My Ming Dynasty can defeat every attack and win every battle. Long live the strategy!"
"Hahaha!" Zhu Yunxi laughed, "I've passed it!" He said, nodding at Li Jinglong, "You seem to take all the credit for me, and that's not good!"
As he spoke, the smile on his face suddenly faded.
The hall suddenly fell silent.
"Now Annan is like a turtle to the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yunxi sneered. "The credentials are not returned, the envoys are not coming, and there is no explanation for the inquiry! Humph!" At this point, he snorted twice more.
He said, "If he doesn't give us an explanation, we will give him an explanation!"
Immediately, Zhu Yunxi looked at the ministers and said, "He won't move, but we have to move! Pass the decree!"
After the words fell, Xin Yande came out and prepared to record.
"The Annan Li thieves have usurped the throne, and both gods and men are angry. As the king of a great country, how can I sit back and watch the vassal country's legal system overthrow! Now, select five thousand soldiers and horses to escort Prince Chen of Annan back to Annan to inherit the throne!"
"According to the order!"
Inexplicably, the ministers became excited.
Aren’t you, Annan, immobile?
I am moving!
Aren't you pretending to be confused? We'll send you back!
hey-hey!
Halfway through, if you don’t move, I will still move...
When the time comes, it will be you, Annan, who will intercept and kill the Chinese officers and soldiers!
"In addition, pass the order to Prince Yongyi!"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the map of Annan and pondered for a moment, "In the past, Yunnan was remote for thousands of miles, and the mountains and rivers were dangerous... My emperor, Taizu Emperor Gao, leveled it with one drum, and created unprecedented achievements since ancient times, and he is the one who shares the history of heaven and earth!
"
"Although Annan is overseas today, it has been a Chinese county since the past. Since the Five Dynasties, it has been unable to be controlled. Although we tried to do it through the Song and Yuan Dynasties, we failed to achieve it, which will make future generations laugh!"
"Today's Li thieves are usurping orders, trying to counter our Ming Dynasty's great tribute ceremony in China, and abolishing Chinese characters and Confucianism. This is absolutely unacceptable!"
"I ordered you to lead your troops to investigate his crimes, hoping that you will succeed..."
