Chapter 406 Annan Capital Envoy Department

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment. This feeling was both familiar and unfamiliar. What is familiar is the name Liu Jinsheng, but what is unfamiliar is the title Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi.

To be honest, Jin Yiwei rarely moves in the south, but everyone who lives in the Ming Dynasty has heard of the reputation of Jin Yiwei. Now that Liu Jinsheng has made his identity clear and is here, it is obviously not possible for him to do anything good.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not see his enemy humiliating him. However, Zheng Zhilong had a cold face, and after thinking for a moment, he ordered an interview.

"Zheng Youqi, we haven't seen you for a long time!" Liu Jinsheng, wearing a black flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife at his waist, looked majestic. He looked proud as soon as he entered the lobby and said loudly with his head held high.

Zheng Zhilong didn't seem to hear the sting in what he said. He enthusiastically guided Liu Jinsheng to sit down and said with a smile: "It's been a while since we last met. Come, come, we are all old brothers. Let's sit and talk!"

Liu Jinsheng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and was a little confused by Zheng Zhilong's smiling face in response. But when I recalled Zheng Zhilong's smile, he suddenly came back to his senses. He was not polite, he sat down carelessly, and then sighed loudly: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. I didn't expect this to be true! Zheng Youyi, you Say yes?"

"Haha, I was proud yesterday, but I may be disappointed today; or if you are proud today, you may be disappointed tomorrow. It's human nature to have ups and downs in life!" Zheng Zhilong also sat down and said with a smile.

His nonchalant look seemed like the comparison had nothing to do with him or Liu Jinsheng at all, it was just an ordinary comparison.

Liu Jinsheng was stunned again. He felt that he was facing Zheng Zhilong and had no idea how to go against him.

Zheng Zhilong didn't wait for him to come back to his senses, and asked with a smile: "How is it? The capital should be very prosperous, right?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinsheng nodded subconsciously. But when I looked back immediately, my face was filled with embarrassment. This is not the situation I want, okay?

"I have just received the imperial edict, and I will soon go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit." Zheng Zhilong looked at Liu Jinsheng with a smile and said, "I am a big boss. It is my first time to go to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit. I am very nervous. How can Brother Liu Xian do it? Can you teach me anything?"

Who is your wise brother? When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he was furious. The purpose of his coming here is to humiliate Zheng Zhilong, so how could he possibly give advice to Zheng Zhilong.

His expression changed, and when he was about to make some sarcastic remarks, he suddenly froze, as if he had been struck by a immobilization spell.

Zheng Zhilong waited for a while and was slightly stunned when he saw that Liu Jinsheng seemed to be still in a daze. He couldn't understand Liu Jinsheng's thoughts. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

He waited for a while and saw that Liu Jinsheng was still in a daze, so he tentatively called out: "Brother Liu Xian... Brother Liu Xian..."

After calling for a while, Liu Jinsheng came back to his senses. He looked at Zheng Zhilong with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, but in the end he suppressed his personal feelings and said immediately: "Your Majesty has a decree to order you immediately. Lead the navy to Guangdong, pick up the imperial envoy Xu Shangshu, and escort Xu Shangshu to the Annan Capital Envoy Office to understand the situation in Annan and prepare to transport grain north to the capital!"

Annan, later known as Vietnam, has a deep connection with the Ming Dynasty.

During the Yongle period, the Hu Dynasty in Annan provoked the Ming Dynasty, and the Yongle Emperor sent Zhu Neng, deputy general on the left, Mu Sheng, deputy general on the right, and deputy general Zhang Fu to destroy it. Annan was renamed Jiaozhi, and fifteen prefectures, thirty-six states, and one hundred states were established. More than 80 counties and five prefectures directly under the Chief Secretary's jurisdiction were divided into 29 counties. In important areas, there were 11 guards, three institutes, and a city shipping department, which were part of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Xuanzong period of the Ming Dynasty, Li Ying defeated the Ming army and established the Later Li Dynasty, which was recognized by Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, Annan broke away from the Ming Dynasty and became a vassal state.

During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Li Zhuang sent an envoy to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to report that the Mo family had usurped the throne and requested the Ming Dynasty to attack the Mo family. Emperor Jiajing appointed Qiu Luan as the governor, and Mao Bowen as military counselor. He stationed troops at Nanguan and prepared to invade Vietnam and attack Mo. With the soldiers suppressing the situation, Mo Dengyong sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to ask for surrender, and presented the Annan land register and household registration to the Ming Dynasty. From then on, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, Annan had been nominally part of the Ming Dynasty and served as the commander-in-chief of Annan.

At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen issued an imperial edict requiring the Nanyang vassal states to pay tribute of grain. Of course, Annan's envoys were also required to pay tribute.

The original stipulation was that Annan should pay tribute every three years, but it was just a formality. This time, he took the initiative to ask for tribute, which was obviously different from the past. It happened that the north and south of Anna were divided, and they attacked each other, with each winning and losing, and it was difficult to distinguish the superior from the inferior. This was known as the Zheng-Nuan dispute in history.

Zheng Zhi, who had a great reputation in the north, was overjoyed after seeing the Ming Dynasty envoy. He quickly promised that there was plenty of food, but he hoped that the Ming Dynasty would help him defeat the rebellion.

The envoy quickly conveyed the news back to the capital. Emperor Chongzhen had just returned from the war bureau. After learning about it, he discussed it with the cabinet and immediately ordered Liu Jinsheng, the nearest Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, to convey the order.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned when he heard this. This was completely beyond his expectation. When he came back to his senses, his face finally turned cold and he said: "Brother Liu Xian, are you playing with your brother? If your brother reports to Master Zhongcheng that you falsely conveyed the imperial edict, you will be considered a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi. This crime It’s not something you can carry, right?”

When Liu Jinsheng heard this, he sneered and said: "Haha, I really hope you think this is fake. Write a copy immediately and report it to Zhongcheng. It will be easier for me to do business!"

"..." Zheng Zhilong was a little confused. What do you mean? Do you really want to report this matter to Lord Zhongcheng yourself? Isn't it child's play to deliver an edict? I had just received an edict asking me to go to the capital. This time, another decree came, and it was just a statement. Isn't this a lie? Why is it so justified?

When Liu Jinsheng saw Zheng Zhilong staying there, he asked impatiently: "Are you going to write? If not, let's go and go to the governor's place together. I will tell you my decree again. How about it?"

"..." Zheng Zhilong continued to be stunned. In his impression, Liu Jinsheng was not a brainless person. He would be so arrogant that he could blatantly falsely pass on imperial edicts based on his status as Jinyiwei Xiaoqi!

However, if what Liu Jinsheng said is true, he is conveying the imperial edict. Well, it is more convincing to believe that there is something wrong with his mind.

"Would you like to leave? I don't have time to waste time. Hurry up and go to Zhongcheng's side!" Liu Jinsheng was impatient. Pudu Zhongsheng had just contacted him and made it clear that this matter should be done as soon as possible. The north is in urgent need of food and must not delay.

Seeing Liu Jinsheng urging him so hastily, Zheng Zhilong even felt that he was being sarcastic. Thinking this, he tentatively said with a cold face: "Let's go to Zhongcheng's place now!"

Dizzy, hurry up and publish it immediately. If you have a high order of 50, I will return this chapter today. Tomorrow's update should be postponed a bit.
