Zhang Dai replied: "General Liu is chasing the remnants of the Mo family, and General Ding is attacking Haiyang and its surrounding areas."

Zheng's father and son failed to escape into the Ailao Mountains, but Mo Jingrui did.He heard that his father Mo Jingyu was defeated and died, so he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Gaoping's lair.As a result, he walked halfway and learned that Liu Xinyu led the Datong Army to capture Taiyuan. He was so frightened that he hurried to the west and plunged into the mountains in the northwestern part of Vietnam.

Next, the Datong Army must be stationed for a long time.One is to prevent the Vietnamese gentry from rebelling, and the other is to go into the mountains to wipe out the remnants of Mo Jingrui.

The two chatted for a while, Zhang Dai suddenly took out the edict of guilt, and ordered: "Annan Puppet Emperor, get out of the car immediately to receive the edict!"

Li Zhenzong couldn't understand Chinese, but his father Li Shenzong was terrified. He pulled his son out of the car and knelt down in the street to listen to the imperial decree.

Without any ceremony of receiving the decree, Zhang Dai opened the decree and read it, and asked the official to translate it to the people:

"Emperor Fengtian Yingmin issued an imperial edict: Annan has been the land of China since ancient times. Qin set up Xiangjun (Yuebei area), and Han set up Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan three counties.

(Northern Vietnam, Central Vietnam), has been our territory for thousands of years.However, he lives in a remote corner and has been infected by barbarians for a long time. He gradually becomes unaccustomed to the teachings of sages and sages, and even forgets who his ancestors are...

"The former Ming Dynasty regained Annan and set up the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi. The land and the people returned to the embrace of the mother country. However, there were traitors who rebelled and raised their troops to stand on their own. For China's fence."

"The Lord of Annan, who got this good fortune, is not grateful for virtue, but has delusions. He changed the name of the country to Dayue, and called himself the emperor. If the Lord of Annan is the emperor,

Where is the emperor of China? "

"There was also Li Weimu, the false emperor of the Annan Li Dynasty, who punished the virtuous concubines and ministers, reused the treacherous ministers' relatives, exploited him endlessly, and made all the people complain. As a result, there were uprisings,

The warlords ruled the remnants of the people, and put our Chinese survivors in the fire and water.Many of the false emperors of the Li family died by accident, and all the clans were slaughtered.Now the lord of Annan Kingdom, whose ancestor was found in the mountains, supported by rebellious officials and thieves, is he a descendant of the Li family? "

"When the sage of Datong was founded, Li Weiyou (Li Zhenzong), the lord of Annan, and the treacherous minister Zheng, did not regard the emperor of Datong as the master, but secretly formed a puppet emperor of the Zhu family in Yunnan. After it was destroyed, Annan's monarchs and ministers did not think about repentance, but instead invaded more than [-] miles of Chinese territory.

It is tolerable, which is unbearable..."

This is not an imperial decree at all, but a call for thieves!

I was afraid that the Vietnamese would not understand, so I didn't quote the scriptures throughout the article, and the whole sentence was plain and reasonable.

Li Shenzong was in a cold sweat when he heard it, because it was determined from the beginning of the imperial decree that Annan belonged to China's territory since ancient times.The entire Li Dynasty belonged to the traitors and traitors.And the ruler of the Li Dynasty was not even counted as a traitor, but just a puppet found in the mountains with unclear bloodliness.

After reading the imperial decree, Li Zhenzong saw his father trembling all over, and couldn't help asking: "Father, what did the imperial edict of the Chinese emperor say? Is it to help my Li family restore the country?"

Li Shenzong did not answer his son, but kowtowed and cried: "My sage, all acts of chaos are the responsibility of the powerful minister Zheng. Although my father and son are the lords of Annan, they cannot help themselves!"

Zhang Dai sneered: "I can't help myself? Changing the name of Annan Kingdom to Dayue, and secretly calling the king the Emperor of Dayue, is this also involuntary? Your Li clan has been overbearing for hundreds of years, do you still have the way of a monarch and ministers in your heart!"

Zhang Dai took out another imperial decree: "Facing the heaven and the people, Emperor Annan's monarch and ministers have overstepped without reason. Today, the golden seal of King Annan is withdrawn, and the Annan Kingdom is withdrawn.

Granted by Quang Nam Province! "

Li Shenzong instantly collapsed to the ground.

Li Zhenzong had the idea of ​​dedicating himself to the country, and wanted to go to Nanjing to be Anle Gong, so that he could spend the rest of his life in peace and stability.

But Zhao Han's imperial decree didn't even give him a chance to contribute to the country.Directly speaking of the Lord Annan violates the principles of the monarch and ministers, and there is no need for the existence of the Annan Kingdom.

The Chinese emperor took back the legal system of the Annan Kingdom, and it was the inherent power of the Chinese emperor to destroy the country and establish provinces.

Is this reasonable?

This is very reasonable, even if it is taken to Europe and let those European kings judge, it is also a reasonable behavior!

Because the Annan kings of all dynasties have indeed overstepped.

Before Napoleon, which French king dared to call himself the French emperor?

The king of England was promoted to be emperor, and after colonizing India, his title was king of England and emperor of India.

As for King Annan, who dared to call himself the Emperor of Dayue, it was purely courting death if he was strictly investigated. Zhao Han had very legitimate reasons to annex his land.

You can see how self-conscious the Korean king is, he never dared to call himself emperor.Whether it is the Korean palace or the Korean costumes, everything strictly abides by the etiquette system, and they dare not even wear yellow clothes.Although the Dagon Dragon Robe of the King of Korea is a five-clawed dragon, it is a special treatment and was granted by the Ming Emperor.

There is no need to find other reasons. The Chinese emperor has the right to destroy his country if the ruler of Vietnam dares to overstep and proclaim himself emperor!

Zhang Dai put away the two imperial decrees and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, my lord. Although you have committed a serious crime of treason, the nine clans should be exterminated according to your deeds. But my celestial emperor,

has always been merciful, and has not condemned you to death.The Li family all moved to various counties in Hebei, and the land will be distributed to you.When you arrive in Hebei, you should work hard to learn how to farm, farm and pay for the good life of the Holy Son, and be a good citizen with peace of mind... still don't thank you for your kindness? "

Li Shenzong had a mournful face, and felt rejoicing in addition to grief.At least, he doesn't have to beheaded for treason, and future generations can still work as farmers to survive.

"Grassman... Thank you Lord Long En!" Li Shenzong kowtowed to the north.

When Li Zhenzong saw his father kowtow, he hurriedly asked: "Father kowtows to thank you, is it the Chinese emperor who wants to help my Li family restore the country?

Li Shenzong explained weakly: "I, the Li clan, have committed the crime of treason by usurping the title of emperor. From now on, I will migrate to northern China to work as a farmer.

Thank you too, at least you can save your life. "

Li Zhenzong had been feared by Zheng for a long time, and his life was precarious.He was just a little disappointed that he would not be able to be An Le Gong in the future, but would instead be a farmer.He can't even distinguish the five grains, how can he cultivate it?

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the father and son of the Li family were taken to Guangxi in a hurry, and then special personnel were sent to send them to Hebei to settle down.

In the next month, until the typhoon blows at sea, the three divisions of the Datong Army were busy recovering the entire territory of the Zheng family, including Gaoping, which was occupied by the Mo family.

Only Mo Jingrui is still lingering, the Ailao mountain area is too large, the terrain is complicated and remote, and it needs to be reserved for the future to slowly clear it.

The officials of the Zheng family in Annan were almost killed by the Mo family and his son.The court officials who were lucky enough to escape their lives, as well as those local officials, came to Shenglong Mansion one after another, hoping to get some official positions.

"Why hasn't the imperial court sent officials at all levels to govern?" Li Dingguo asked.

Zhang Dai replied: "When the old man left Nanjing, His Majesty was summoning local officials. They were all excellent in the performance evaluation last year. It seems that some of them should be selected to come to Guangnan (Annan)."

The name Guangnan is a prefecture of the Annan Kingdom, and even the ruling center of the Ruan family.At the same time, Yunnan also has a mansion named Guangnan Mansion.

Zhao Han destroyed the Zheng regime and set up a province, which was not named Jiaozhi Province, nor Annan Province, but Guangnan Province!

China has Guangdong Province and Guangxi Province. It is normal to have Guangnan Province.

This was also to frighten the Nguyen, whose southern separatist regime was often called Quang Nam.

Li Dingguo asked: "Those who are excellent in political performance evaluation come to Guangnan to be officials?"

Zhang Dai nodded and said: "This is the result of discussions between His Majesty and the cabinet. The Cochin Province was set up in the Ming Dynasty, and those who came to Cochin to be officials felt that they were assigned.

In addition, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, so he exploited the people excessively, and only wanted to go back after making enough money, which led to constant peasant uprisings at Jiaozhi.A lesson from the past is a guide for the future. Therefore, when His Majesty selected Guangnan officials, he decided to select all officials with outstanding political achievements.Moreover, the old man heard that the officials who went to Guangnan Province will be promoted by an extra level in the future evaluation.Not only will he be promoted faster, but he will also be selected as a Beijing official first! "

"So that's the case, Your Majesty is so wise!" Li Dingguo said with emotion.

Specially selecting people with outstanding political performance to serve as officials in Quang Nam Province eliminates the illusion of officials being assigned.

When evaluating political performance, an extra promotion is given, and priority is given to being selected as Beijing officials, which makes these officials more motivated.

Not only in Guangnan Province, but also in the shattered north, if those officials did a good job, they would be promoted by Zhao Han as an exception.In the future, officials from Liuqiu County, Fangzhang County, Taiwan Prefecture, and Qiongzhou Prefecture will follow the same method until the localities really develop.

Zhang Dai said with a smile: "There is another big event, this year we will restore Qiu Wei."

Qiuwei is the imperial examination.

Li Dingguo didn't feel much about this, but he didn't know that in the northern and southern provinces, scholars had already rushed to tell each other.

Moreover, the traditional scholars were ecstatic about the regulations of the rural examination, and Zhao Han left a gap in the imperial examination for the traditional scholars.

Although narrow, there are still a few people who can get in.

Chapter 652 [Some people panic]

The Chinese emperor bought Champa with money, and sent troops to destroy Annan's Zheng family. The Ruan family was caught in the middle and trembled.

Once the war starts, it is not as simple as a north-south attack, and troops can be transported from the sea to directly give the Ruan family a three-sided bloom!

Ruan Phuc, who had just fought a big victory and successfully succeeded to the throne, was at the brightest moment of his life.Lord Ruan and his subjects were so full of ambition that they even called for the Northern Expedition, but what they were waiting for was the news of the collapse of the Zheng family.

Zhao Han's two imperial edicts were not only shown to King Annan, but announced to the world and spread everywhere!

Ruan Fubin also got two handwritten imperial edicts, and after reading them, he felt cold all over his body.They have always respected Emperor Li as their ruler, and their legal system also came from the king. They accused the Zheng family of kidnapping the monarch every year, saying that sooner or later they would lead troops north to the side of the Qing monarch. .

But now, An Nanguo is gone, and Ruan's situation is a bit embarrassing.

He has only three options:

First, put out the slogan of restoring the country and inherit the legal system of the Annan Kingdom.

Second, immediately surrender the land and surrender to the emperor of China.

Third, the formal establishment of a country and self-reliance.

Whether it is right or wrong, one must be chosen, so as to appease people's hearts, otherwise Ruan's rule is irrational.

On the Zheng side, at least there is an imperial court.

On Ruan's side, there is not even a court, and the title of the official position is obviously of a wartime nature.

Local prefectures and counties are all called battalions, such as the Hue Camp and the Quang Nam Camp. Those who don’t know it think they are the army.

The central organization is called Neizhengying.

There are three divisions in Neizhengying, namely, Shechai Division (copywriting, judiciary), Ministers and Officials Division (finance, local military pay), and Lingshi Division (sacrifice, salary, and central military pay). The military government does not even have a strict distinction between civil and military officials.

With the continuous expansion of the territory, in the past few years, the four pillar countries of inner left, outer left, inner right, and outer right have been added to assist in the central affairs in all directions.

Although it seems that the Ruan family's government organization is very rough, the vitality of the ruling and opposition parties is far better than that of the Zheng family.

Within the jurisdiction of the Zheng family, the royal family, the clan, and the army... crazily exploited the people, and the local gentry hid their population, rampant corruption, and financial coercion.

What I got was the script of the late Ming Dynasty.

Within the jurisdiction of the Ruan family, the territory continued to expand, killing and expelling the people of Champa, and relocating the Yue people and Han people.The landlord and gentry class here,

The influence was made very weak, and the land ownership rate of the bottom farmers was extremely high, and what they got was the script of the late Jin Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, although the Ruan family was limited and had few people, they were unable to take the initiative in the northern expedition, but they were able to defeat Zheng's southward troops every time.The farmers here have land, how can foreign enemies be allowed to invade?He fought very bravely, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to keep his own land!

In a word, if the Datong Army came to kill them, they would meet with very stubborn resistance, and soldiers from peasant backgrounds were willing to fight with all their might.

Li Tai, the minister of the inner left column, said: "Your Highness, the Zheng family will be destroyed in an instant, and the Han soldiers are really invincible. You should offer soil to become a minister, and send another envoy to Nanjing to request canonization."

"What position are you requesting for canonization?" Ou Sheng, the Minister of History, immediately questioned, "The Chinese emperor destroyed the Zheng family in the north and bought the Champa Kingdom in the south. He has formed a situation of encircling us from the north to the south. He even destroyed the country. Set up a province, also named Guangnan Province. Guangnan and Hue are our core territories, what is his intention for setting up Guangnan Province, it is obvious that he wants to annex us!"

Ruan Fuyan, the minister of the left column outside, said: "Is it possible to go to war with China? We can't even make the northern expedition to the Zheng family. How can we resist the Han soldiers who are like wolves and tigers!"

A group of officials quarreled right there, and couldn't come up with a useful charter.

Nguyen Lord Nguyen Phuc said frequently: "It is possible to be a minister, but it is impossible to offer soil. If this king offers soil, the Chinese emperor may really send officials over. At that time, these officials will be very troublesome. You can't kill them, and you can't use them. Sooner or later something big will happen."

Liang Zan, Minister of the Department of Officials, proposed: "The land under our jurisdiction is all the territory of the ancient Linyi Kingdom. Now that the Annan Kingdom is destroyed, Your Highness can establish a country on his own and become the king of Linyi. Then, in the name of the Lord of Linyi, send envoys to Nanjing to ask for help. Feng, test the attitude of the Chinese emperor. If the Chinese emperor refuses, then find another way. If the Chinese emperor allows, that would be great, His Highness can justifiably establish a country and become king."

Ruan Fupin nodded and smiled: "This method is very good. Choose an auspicious day, and this king will establish a country and stand on his own. The internal and external government offices must also be reformed, and local governments and counties should also be established."

Liang Zan also said: "Hetu, the powerful minister of the Champa Kingdom, refused to accept the Chinese officials' seizure of power, and joined forces with the congregation to raise troops and cause rebellion. Now he has been defeated and died. More than a thousand of his relatives and congregation have defected to our country. They are at the border at the moment. May I ask your highness? Do you accept it?"

Ruan Fubin said: "People of heretics and heretics will not be taken in. They will all be deported back. This can also be used to make good friends with China!"

Ruan Phuc Pin believes in Confucianism and Buddhism, and he is merciless against Champa's environmentalism.

In the past few decades, whenever a new territory is expanded, massacres and expulsions will be carried out, and the policy of "leave the land but not the people" will be implemented.After the Zhan people were expelled and killed, the vacated land was just distributed to the Yue people and the Han people, which could also ease the conflict between people and land.

As for the Occupation Minister Hetu, his rebellion is a bit funny.

After China bought Champa, it directly implemented military control in Bintong Longcheng, and temporarily recruited Han merchants to act as port tax collectors.This is tantamount to depriving Hetu of his financial rights, so this person instigated the congregation to make trouble, burned, killed and looted Bintong Longcheng, and was suppressed by the 50 Datong troops all morning.

Not only Hetu's family was exterminated, but his cronies were also purged, and many people fled Champa with their congregation.

The tactics of the Datong Army are already benevolent enough. Historically, if the Ruan clan occupied this place, [-]% to [-]% of the Zhan clan would be doomed.They were either massacred or expelled, and all the vacated land was cultivated by Han people—these Han people were all survivors of the Ming Dynasty and fled across the sea because they refused to accept the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, the Ruan family occupied the Mekong Delta, and also resettled a large number of Han people.

The Mekong Delta has developed into a top grain-producing area in Southeast Asia from an unsuitable area for farming, and the Han people have made great contributions to it—the Han people here call themselves "Mingxiang people" or "Mingxiang people" and even build temples to worship The emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the few couplets in that temple have an air of anti-Qing and Ming-ming——

Ashamed to be a minister of the northern court, the outline is always solemn; rather, a guest of the southern country, the bamboo and silk hang down.

Jiaxian revives the foundation to lighten the old, and Shengde Changliu Temple looks new.

Ming sages and ancestors, the Yue Kingdom also heard the sound teaching; the township clans, Asia have the same crown.

In this time and space, due to the decline of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the Han people did not travel to the south of Hainan in large numbers.Even if Zhao Han doesn't send troops to attack the Ruan family, the Ruan family doesn't have that much population to expand.At the very least, the policy of massacring and expelling the Chams who believe in the environmental religion, and freeing up the land for the Han people to reclaim will not work.

One month after the Annan Kingdom was destroyed, the Ruan family quickly established their own country and claimed to have obtained the legal order of the Gulinyi Kingdom.Then, wait for the rainy season to pass, and then send envoys to Nanjing to ask for a seal.

Zhao Han is not in a hurry to wipe out the Ruan family, he will finish the land reform in the Zheng family's territory first.

Once the land reform is announced, the local gentry will inevitably rebel and take the opportunity to suppress it.The migration that should be migrated, the extermination of the clan that should be exterminated, it is absolutely impossible to be soft.

On the contrary, it is the territory of the Ruan family. Since the contradiction between people and land is not big, there is no need for large-scale land reform at all.You can choose to ease the policy, buy excess land from landlords at half price, and then distribute it to farmers with less land.

The trading post established by the Netherlands on Zheng's territory is second only to Nagasaki, Japan, and far exceeds Tainan in importance.

The Datong army occupied this place. Although they did not confiscate the Dutch property, they will definitely not be able to do business in the future.The purchase channel must be controlled by Chinese merchants, and the trading post of the Dutch in Guangnan Province is tantamount to being abolished.

At the risk of being capsized by the typhoon, the Dutch merchant ship rushed to Batavia to report.
