Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Hue City, the new royal city of Champa Kingdom.

In this turmoil, the king of Champa has become the biggest winner.

Although the two attacks resulted in heavy casualties, the Champa Kingdom had been pushed to the brink of life and death by the Le Dynasty. As a result, the Li Dynasty was not only suffering from the Ming Dynasty's conquest, but now it also regained the territory of Guangnan.

Although the southern part of Guangnan was placed under the newly created South Vietnam State by Nguyen Jin, and the old royal capital of Champa was also placed under the ownership of the South Vietnam State, most of the territory of the Champa State was finally recaptured.

As long as they manage well in the future, although they cannot restore the Champa State to its heyday, it can still allow the Champa State to have a place in the Indochina Peninsula instead of living a precarious life.

Since Nguyen Jin has ordered all soldiers and civilians here to withdraw, this small Hue city has become an empty city.

"We're back!"

"This is our home!"

"God opens your eyes and allows me to come back here in my lifetime!"

…

The king of Champa led a total of 20,000 soldiers and civilians to move back to Hue in ancient times. When they returned to their homeland, many soldiers and civilians couldn't help but shed tears.

They originally lived here for generations, but they fell victim to the ambitious Le Dynasty's territorial expansion and were almost wiped out by the Le army.

Fortunately, with the help of the Ming Dynasty, they reoccupied this old land and returned to this old city, where they would restore the glory of the Champa Kingdom.

The king of Champa was a young man in ancient times, with a thick beard and bronze skin. After experiencing all kinds of disasters, I feel mature and humble.

When he learned that Wang Zhi was coming, he not only held a banquet to entertain him, but also personally led the princes and ministers who occupied the city to greet him at the city gate.

Although he was the king of the Champa Kingdom in ancient times, he was always respectful when facing Wang Zhi, and even took the initiative to pick up the wine pot and pour wine for Wang Zhi.

"King of Champa, the Hengshan Pass is the territory of your Champa country. It is natural for our Ming Dynasty to return it to you! In fact, the Li Dynasty has nothing to worry about. Their main force is restrained by our Ming army. Now they can only send small A large number of troops are coming to harass you. Do you need to be afraid of this small military force when you occupy the city?" Wang Zhi liked the big lobsters here very much, so he grabbed the lobster and asked calmly.

Gulai was previously afraid that the Ming army would renege on its promise, but now he is worried that the Ming army will suddenly let go. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Please ask the envoy to leave the divine electric guards in the pass. Xiao Wang feels confident!"

"The Divine Guards will build a temporary camp on the beach one mile away and will be stationed there temporarily! If there is any emergency military situation, you will send someone to notify you immediately, and our Divine Guards will arrive to support you and protect Hengshan. The pass is safe!" Wang Zhi took a sip of wine and continued to console him.

Now that the Hengshan Pass is being handed over, although it seems that Shendianwei is giving away the pass that he worked so hard to build, it actually transfers the risk and is also selling a huge favor to Gulai.

After all, what Ming Dynasty wanted was not territory, but seeking the situation in Indochina that was most beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Gu Lai was relieved when he learned that the Shendian Guards were staying nearby to provide support at any time: "This will help me do my job!"

"King of Champa, please rest assured. The newly established Nanyang Guards will be stationed in Da Nang all year round. Once there is any military situation in Champa, we Nanyang Guards will definitely not stand idly by, but we will also need you to be more convenient!" Wang Zhi took a bite of lobster meat and said hello in advance.

Gu Lai knew that the current situation could only be stabilized by hugging Daming's thick thighs tightly, so he immediately expressed his stance: "Of course!"

This time, in order to restore the country, he almost sacrificed all his troops.

Although many citizens have returned from various places, their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the regular army. It will probably take several years to cultivate a regular army.

Because of this, he could only obey Wang Zhi's words and firmly hold on to the thick thigh of the Ming Dynasty and never let go.

"The most important thing for the Champa Kingdom right now is to resume production. You can grow more cotton and rice!" Wang Zhi warned seriously after swallowing the lobster meat in his mouth.

Gu Lai knew that he could only rely on himself financially from now on, so he nodded bitterly: "Definitely!"

The population in the Quang Nam area seemed to be migrating in an orderly manner. The South Vietnam State founded by Nguyen Jin implemented the New Deal, while the ancient Champa State focused on defending against the Lebanese army that could invade at any time.

As for the Ming Dynasty's full takeover of Da Nang, a new Ming City will be built here, and a batch of cotton cloth and goods will soon enter the South Vietnam and Champa countries for sale.

The sea breeze in October brings a bit of coolness to the entire northern part of Indochina.

The conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty was really too powerful. After learning that the Ming court intended to cultivate a new royal family to replace the Li royal family, the situation of the entire Li Dynasty suddenly became delicate.

At first, they only suspected that the Zheng family was seizing the throne, but as things continued to escalate, both the Chen family and the Ding family were on guard, especially the big families who moved their families away from the royal capital.

Before the Ming Dynasty took its second step, King Li Sicheng of Annan could no longer sit still and immediately submitted an impassioned apology to Zhennanguan.

Faced with the sudden apology letter, which listed the terms of returning Nanzhu King and dealing with the troublemakers, Zhang Yong immediately said warily: "Could this be Li Chao deliberately delaying time?"

"Send it to the capital as soon as possible. Your Majesty will decide!" Wang Yue made a decision immediately after thinking for a moment.

Although Wang Yue's prestige is now growing, he has always kept the rules in mind, but he did not make decisions easily, but reported important matters to the court.

Zhennanguan is thousands of miles away from the capital. Fortunately, a pond newspaper system has been built, and the delivery time has been greatly shortened.

In the golden autumn of October, thousands of miles of rice flowers are fragrant.

After all, it is still an agricultural society. Only with stable harvests can the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Ming Dynasty's finances can become healthy.

Since Hubei began to launch the nationwide purge, although Liu Zhong has not yet been able to complete the purge work, there have been 10% more farmland in the country this year, resulting in an increase of several million dan in the imperial court's autumn grain income this year.

Since the Enke Examination will be next year, candidates from all over the country are rushing to the capital to prepare for the exam. They only need to be able to win the first place in the Enke Examination in the spring of next year.

In mid-October in Beijing, the weather has turned cold.

After all, it was an agricultural society without industrial pollution. This era seemed to have four distinct seasons, and the winter was longer and colder than Zhu Youtang expected.

Ah!

Chen Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was wearing a third-grade official uniform, couldn't help sneezing heavily when facing the cold wind blowing from the lake, and then hurriedly knelt down knowing that he was rude.

Zhu Youtang tried out this new fishing rod that had just been sent by Chen Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. Big fish came out of the strong wind and waves. He encountered a big fish a few days ago, but the fishing line broke again.

Things have proven that relying solely on the gifts of nature is not enough. To make progress, we ultimately need human creation. If you want to completely solve the problem of fishing lines, you may have to start researching nylon this winter.

"Your Majesty, this is the fishing line made of the most resilient horsehair found by the Ministry of Industry. Please give it another try!" Chen Zheng said with sweat on his forehead and he seemed unsure.

Zhu Youtang threw out the fishing rod and took the initiative to talk about another matter: "Chen Qing, how is the investigation on the cutting of corners on the river embankment in Fengqiu County?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. There is no reply to this matter yet! But please rest assured, your Majesty, once the results are available, the Ministry of Industry will definitely report it to Your Majesty as soon as possible!" Chen Zheng shook his head gently and responded firmly at the same time. .

Zhu Youtang's eyes were fixed on the fish mark, and he asked calmly: "Chen Qing, you have served in the Ministry of Industry for many years. What do you think of the river embankment project?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to speak nonsense!" Chen Zheng did not want to be careless and expressed his position seriously.

Zhu Youtang knew that projects were the hardest hit by corruption since ancient times. Any dynasty with many projects would be prone to corruption, so he said calmly: "Speak! What I want is what you say in your heart. I forgive you!"

"Your Majesty, local officials are not sages. Not only do they need silver to get promoted, but they also need money to satisfy their appetites. The stones used in the river embankment project are buried in the dam, so it can be done very secretly! Even if the river embankment is really If it collapses, you can also push it to unscrupulous people to get water... Well, of course, there are many upright river officials in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not many officials who are really corrupt!" Halfway through, Chen Zheng realized that he had said too much, and even He took some back and said.

Zhu Youtang looked at the fishing lines one after another, but he said with emotion: "No one is greedy, but there will always be people who are greedy! It's just that if you are careless in the entire river embankment, everything will be lost." , and the Yellow River changed its course because of one place!"

"Your Majesty is an eternal wise king, and the Yellow River will be cleared. I believe that there will be no major trouble in the Yellow River for a hundred years!" Chen Zheng did not dare to think about the diversion of the Yellow River and quickly complimented him.

When Zhu Youtang saw the fish mark moving, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk too much. How can the Yellow River survive the disaster for a hundred years? Salt affairs, grain taxes, water transportation and river channels are all related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. Regarding this matter, the Ministry of Industry takes charge of river administration and must strengthen river inspections!"

"I will remember your Majesty's teachings!" Chen Zheng knew that his sloppy shooting was indeed too much, so he quickly expressed his position.

Zhu Youtang noticed that the fish mark had stopped moving, so he continued speaking calmly: "The Governor of Water Transport Zhou Nai gave you a lot of charcoal and silver as a warning. Why did you hand it over?"

"Zhou Nai is both the governor of water transportation and in charge of river administration, so he is a first-class man. The charcoal and silver he sent to his ministers may not seem like much, but there are many important ministers in the court, and one person can make a considerable sum of money. The amount. I know very well that this silver must have come from an illegitimate way, but I don’t want to alert the snake, so I first lied and made mistakes, and then left it to His Majesty Qiankun to decide the origin of the matter!" Chen Zheng stabbed Zhou Nai in the back, but he upheld justice. The big flag said.

Zhu Youtang had actually been eyeing Zhou Nai for a long time. He just wanted to solve the problem of water transportation and getting rid of one Zhou Nai would not help at all, but he needed to use Zhou Nai to kill all the people.

Although he had already secretly investigated Zhou Nai, the case of the Huaiyan salt administration system was like a wake-up call, making those people become more tactful and cautious.

Zhu Youtang knew that Chen Zheng could be trusted, so he made arrangements calmly: "There will be some transfers of river officials at the end of this year. If Zhou Nai comes to you for help, look at who he will recommend!"

"I obey the decree!" Chen Zheng realized that His Majesty was eyeing the river, and immediately expressed his stance.

Zhu Youtang sat on the edge of the fishing pavilion, facing the cold wind that kept blowing. Although the Taiye Pond was not frozen yet, the fish situation had become very bad.

When sending Chen Zheng away, he sat for half an hour before catching a small fish and ended the fishing. This would be the last fishing in the first year of Hongzhi's life.

Faced with the apology letter sent by Southwest, although the apology letter seemed very emotional, King Nanzhu did not even send it out at the same time. However, he knew that Li Sicheng, who was insincere, was deliberately delaying time.

Just when the apology letter was delivered to the capital, King Li Sicheng of Annam suddenly divided his troops and went south, intending to regain the lost territory in Guangnan in one fell swoop.
