Chapter two hundred and seventy seventh big letter
The imperial edict to attack the Li Dynasty was first sent to Guangzhou in a light newspaper, and then copied on a copy of the edict that had been stamped with a jade seal. Then the original light report and the silk edict were sent to Bago by speedboat.
Today's imperial court has further perfected the process of reporting imperial edicts: when the imperial court issues an imperial edict, it must first prepare the original and archived copies in the capital. After the imperial edict is sent out, the original copy is sent to the destination by imperial envoy or post office.
.In this way, information fallacy caused by improper transmission of the optical report can be avoided as much as possible. If the optical report is inconsistent with the original version, the local government can promptly correct it.
At the same time, in order to speed up the transmission of information to the vassal states, the imperial court also had a blank edict stamped with a jade seal in Guangzhou and marked as a copy. The copy of the imperial edict could copy the content transmitted by the imperial edict, and then attach the original imperial edict and send it to the destination quickly.
The vassals in the southwest.
This procedure is mainly to solve the issues involving the vassal. In order to reflect the authority of the empire, you cannot use a mere report sheet to convey the edict to the vassal. Therefore, the beautifully crafted copy of the edict comes in handy, and its effectiveness is equivalent to the original edict.
Although Guangbao saved a lot of time in delivering the imperial edict, Yangon did not receive the edict until the Hungry Ghost Festival, the first day of July. Governor Luo Wanhua, who was tanned by the tropical sun, frowned after receiving the edict——
This is the hot and humid rainy season, so it is not suitable to launch troops.
However, the edict made it very clear that the Li Dynasty would be destroyed within half a year from the date of arrival of the imperial edict. If the Chao Dynasty did not harass the Chinese immigrants, it would be stewed with a spoonful. This is no joke. Once the deadline is exceeded, there will be
No matter how great the credit is, it is all in vain.
If we wait for the rainy season to pass, three months will be wasted. Luo Wanhua did not dare to delay and quickly summoned Pingnan Hou Gong Xian to the Governor's Mansion for discussion.
Gong Xian, the Marquis of Pingnan, was Liu Xian, the former commander-in-chief of the army stationed in Myanmar. He and Deng Zilong killed the leader of Myanmar in a battle at Lijiang, and then took advantage of Myanmar's internal conflicts to incorporate the country with a population of tens of millions into its territory. It would be unjustifiable for him not to be awarded a title for his achievements in destroying the country.
.
In the seventh year of Wanli, the imperial edict arrived in Myanmar, and Liu Xian and Deng Zilong were conferred the titles of Marquis of Pingnan and Uncle Yangcheng respectively. In addition, the emperor also gave Liu Xian a favor and gave him the surname "Gong", thus exposing him as an impostor.
"Liu Xian" committed the crime of joining the army, but Marshal Ming can openly restore his original surname from now on, and his comrades don't have to worry about how to call him.
After Liu Xian changed his surname back to his original surname, he also calmed down his violent temper a lot, and his outlook on life changed. He wanted to bring glory to the old Gong family and stopped doing things for the sake of money. In the past few years, he cooperated with Luo Wanhua in
Myanmar has secretly implemented the policy of "extinction of classics" and achieved remarkable results.
At the end of the eleventh year of Wanli, troops from all over the country were transferred. He and Deng Zilong were originally included in the transfer. However, Governor Luo Wanhua objected to the transfer on the grounds that Burma was initially designated. The Privy Council also believed that Burma was a newly occupied area.
It would take at least a year and a half for the commander-in-chief to familiarize himself with the situation, which was indeed not conducive to governance. Finally, Zhu Yijun made the decision and transferred Deng Zilong to Guangdong and Guangxi to be promoted to the commander-in-chief, leaving Gong Xian in Myanmar.
Luo Wanhua kept Gong Xian because he valued his ruthlessness. Gong Xian falsely joined the army and caught up with the Miao Rebellion in Yibin. He killed more than fifty people with his own hands in one battle. It was like a murderer god coming to the world, and he really valued human life.
Like a piece of grass. From then on, his bloodthirsty nature followed him throughout his life.
Over the years, he and Deng Zilong have cooperated with Luo Wanhua to sort out Myanmar's originally small native civilization like a grate and restore it to its original ecology in a planned and step-by-step manner.
Today's Myanmar is under the iron fist of the Governor-General. The natives live and work in peace and contentment. Most of them regard themselves as Chinese people and cannot think of any resistance and trouble. With the arrival of Han officials and Han people, Chinese civilization has gradually become the mainstream in Myanmar. Lishui Delta
After years of recovery, it has gradually become a land of plenty. Ten years after Wanli, Burmese treasure wells and agricultural products have begun to feed China back on a large scale, and the southern part of the empire has now begun to eat Lijiang rice.
After Deng Zilong was transferred, Gong Xian lost his most important think tank, and was at the mercy of Luo Wanhua in everything. Governor Luo was able to order him more easily. Now that the Governor was summoned, Marshal Gong did not delay at all, and arrived at the Governor's Mansion the next day.
When the two met, Luo Wanhua issued an edict and asked him how to raise troops at this time. Gong Xian frowned and said: "This matter cannot be rushed. It rains heavily every day in the southwest, and there is no good road for marching! What is the emperor doing about this?
What should we do? Deploying the navy from Guangdong and Guangxi and taking Qinghua directly is not much better than our trek across mountains and rivers."
Luo Wanhua frowned after hearing this, but nodded slowly and said: "Now there are no less than a thousand people in the imperial court who know the military, and the Privy Council and Temple must have a navy to cooperate with us. I predict that there will be an edict later."
Gong Xian listened and nodded in agreement. Then he said: "Now in the Annan Li Dynasty, the Lord Zheng is in power and proclaims himself the king. He threatens the Lord Li to order the princes. This edict says it is to attack the Li Dynasty, but in fact we are attacking the Zheng family. Your Majesty
We have not planned what will happen to the Nguyen clan in Hue in the future. Should we bring order to the chaos, or will the Nguyen and Zheng clans be completely wiped out and their species extinguished?"
When Luo Wanhua heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "I understand what the emperor means!"
Marshal Gong listened to Luo Wanhua try to understand the emperor's decree, and hurriedly shut up and listened to him. Luo Wanhua smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of "Mountains and Rivers of the Southern Country"?"
With Gong Weiming's academic qualifications, of course he shook his head and said. Luo Wanhua chanted: "The imperial residence of Nanguo Mountain and Henan is clearly determined in the Book of Heaven. How can you rebel against the invaders and invade? It depends on your actions and defeat. During the Xining period of the Song Dynasty,
During the Battle of Fuliang River between the Song Dynasty and the Annan-Li Dynasty, Annan General Li Changjie said that Annan could have fought on equal footing with the Emperor of China."
Gong Xian heard this and sneered: "The toad yawned so loudly!"
Luo Wanhua solemnly said: "Don't underestimate them, Marquis Gong. When I was in the Xuanzong period, Li Li had a fight with me. We lost our troops and lost our generals. Only then did Li Li establish the Li Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. Later, the Li Dynasty made the "Ping Wu Dagao"
", at the beginning it was said that the two families could 'each have their own empire'."
After he finished speaking, he recited "Ping Wu Da Gao" and said: "'Only my country of Dayue is actually a country of documents. The feudal territories of mountains and rivers are different, and the customs of the north and south are also different. Since the founding of our country by Zhao, Ding, Li, and Chen,
Han, Tang, Song, and Yuan each had his own emperor!'"
Gong Xian was a little dazed after hearing this. He was a martial artist and did not read scriptures or history. He had no idea that there was such a period between Xuanzong and Annan in the Ming Dynasty. After listening to Luo Wanhua's retelling, he hurriedly said: "It's true that there are 'each emperor has its own side'"
'?It's not afraid of the wind and flashes its tongue!"
Luo Wanhua said: "Wei Ming said so. But we must not deny it. My dynasty was defeated at that time, and later agreed to his request for tribute. In fact, I had tacitly allowed him to proclaim himself emperor."
After hearing this, Gong Xian was angry at first, then sighed and said: "What else is written in the imperial edict?"
Luo Wanhua solemnly said: "The book cannot bear to be read. However, before I came to Myanmar with the order, I also found it and read it to encourage my determination. Today I will repeat the words in the edict that there is no king and no father.
stop."
"'Because of the harshness of Hu's administration, people's hearts became resentful and rebellious. The madmen were waiting for opportunities to poison our people... so they ordered Xuande to be a cunning boy and an insatiable soldier. He still ordered the promotion of cowardly generals and promoted them to cowardly generals. Oil saves burning.'"
Afraid that Gong Xian would not understand, Luo Wanhua had to explain. Unexpectedly, Gong Xian had no problem with his listening ability in classical Chinese, so he asked directly: "Xuande... the cunning boy, are you talking about Xuanzong?"
Luo Wanhua nodded and said: "That's right." Although Gong Xian was a veteran and nearly 70 years old, his eyes turned red when he heard this.
Luo Wanhua then recounted: "'In advance, I selected troops to block the danger in order to destroy its front; in the end, I deployed troops to intercept the road in order to deprive it of food. On the 18th of this month, Liu Sheng was attacked by our army. He fell into the wilderness of Zhileng; on the 20th of this month, Liu Sheng was defeated by our army and died on Ma'an Mountain. On the 25th, Boliang Ming of Baoding fell into the formation and died; on the 28th, Shangshu Li He cut his head to celebrate his poverty.'"
"'Captain Cui Ju kneeled down to deliver the money; Shangshu Huang Fu tied his face and was captured. Zombies blocked Langjiang, Langshan was covered with blood, Chichang River, flat water, wind and clouds changed their colors, and the sun and moon were miserable. Guang. His Yunnan soldiers were choked by our army in Lihua, and they suspected that they were drunk and had already lost their courage. His soldiers in Mu Sheng heard that Sheng's army was defeated at Qinzhan, so they had to escape because of the rout. Lenggou Zhi The blood drifts in the pestle, and the river weeps for it; the mountains of corpses pile up in Danshe, and the wild grass turns red.'"
"He took part in the affairs of the generals and Ma Qi, the internal officer. He was first given more than 500 ships. After crossing the river, he was still in despair. Wang Tong, the commander-in-chief, took part in the politics of Ma Ying. He was given more than thousands of horses and returned to the country. It makes him tremble and frightened. He is afraid of death and greedy for life, but he is sincere in his cultivation..."
Luo Wanhua lived up to his talent as the number one scholar and recited the "Ping Wu Da Gao" almost word for word. After Gong Xian heard that the Ming Dynasty's generals, internal officers and chief soldiers actually gave warships and horses to Li Lilai to ask for peace, Unable to bear it anymore, he punched the case and shouted: "Governor Luo, you don't have to recite it anymore!"
He stood up and walked quickly in the governor's custody room. With nowhere to vent his passion, Gong Xian suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, blood penetrated his pupils, his nose flared, and suddenly he raised his head and roared, which shocked Luo Wanhua.
Gong Xian shouted: "This is a great shame and humiliation!" After speaking, he gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious face: "This beast who insults my father and my father cannot live with us and other generals for a day! I am willing to lead my troops to attack the country, and I will sweep away the holes with thunder to kill them. Kind!”
After hearing this, Luo Wanhua slapped the table hard and said: "This is exactly what the emperor meant by using Ping Nanhou! Now among the generals in the world, only Pingnan Hou can display such thunder!"
