Luchuan has the Mengyang Xuanwei Department in the north of Luchuan, Luchuan Pingyang Xuanwei Department, and Mubang Xuanwei Department, while in the south of Luchuan there are the Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Dakula Xuanwei Department, Babai Dadian Xuanwei Department, and the bottom Xuanwei Department.

Massa Xuanwei Division, Lao Xuanwei Division, these are the eight Xuanwei Divisions of the Ming Dynasty in Luchuan.

These eight Xuanwei divisions have been going back and forth since the Hongwu period, jumping left and right. If the Ming Dynasty is strong, they will bow their eyebrows and pray for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty is weak, they will invade like fire, harassing the borders of Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places.

town.

Further south from Xuanweisi in Laos are Siam, Chenla, and Champa.

Siam, Chenla, Champa, and Annan all have examples of killing Ming envoys and robbing Ming merchants.

Eight Xuanweisi and four vassal tributary states were so close to the Ming Dynasty. Why did they dare to be so arrogant?

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, they would lie on the ground and beg for mercy. Most of them were arrogant when the Ming Dynasty was weak. And the Ming Dynasty also had the illusion of wind power [Since the cultivation of literature and virtue, why labor and troops are far away],

And because the main military conflicts of the Ming Dynasty were concentrated in the north, the Ming Dynasty could not spare any effort to deal with them.

Secondly, it is the unique advantage of dense forests. In these tropical rainforests, ancient trees that are thousands of years old often block out the sky and the sun. The roads are impassable and it is difficult to march. The miasma is dense and mosquitoes are everywhere. The weather, the right place, the people and other natural factors make it difficult for the Ming Dynasty to conquer.

It can be said that the eight Xuanwei Divisions and four vassal states dared to jump like this repeatedly because they relied on the cover of dense forests, which was their biggest protective umbrella.

Yu Qian said with a strange expression: "Jun Guoping is busy with military affairs, so he may not know that all the teak used in the Ming Dynasty comes from Lubei, Mengyang, Luchuan, Mubang and Myanmar."

"Moreover, the transport volume is huge. Large areas of barren land have appeared in Lubei and Myanmar. More than one million acres of forest have been converted into farmland. The dense forests are no longer there. If the Ming Dynasty continues to build ships like this, it is not impossible that the entire Luchuan River will be fertile farmland."

The fact that I killed myself was not Yu Qian's inference about the future, but a fact that was happening.

The changes in the Ming Dynasty's industry are causing a profound change in Luchuan. This place that has been silent since ancient times is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

The booming shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty had a huge demand for high-quality wood. Trees such as beech with a slightly soft texture can also be used for shipbuilding, but they are barely usable.

If you have teak, of course you have to use teak.

In order to meet the industrial needs of the Ming Dynasty, the dense forests of Luchuan are slowly but surely disappearing.

And Ming Dynasty is waiting for that day to come.

Chen Mao suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's it."

Yu Qian pointed out the Red River Basin on the Kan map and said: "After clearing out the banditry, the people should be organized to dredge the Jiaozhi Waterway. Copper materials, tung oil, Panax notoginseng and other materials from Yunnan and other places should be transported down the Red River and transported to the Ming Dynasty via waterways.

The shipping company is more convenient, and the wood comes from the waterway, which saves costs."

“The preparations for the establishment of the Hue Shipping Department and Da Nang must also be made as soon as possible.”

Hue Province is located at the southernmost point of the 15th Province of Cochin, and further south are Champa and Quang Nam Kingdom.

If the king of Champa is captured, he will be changed to the Three Prefectures, and the Guangnan Kingdom will also be changed to the Guangnan Prefecture. These need to be clarified after Jiaozhi before making any plans.

Champa and the Nguyen family's Quang Nam Kingdom are just a dilapidated house, which needs to be kicked down before it collapses. It is impossible for the army to surrender without the opponent.

Yu Qian has no illusions that "since he has cultivated virtues, he has to work hard to fight far away". If he really cultivates virtues and can expand his territory, then he will still be King Jili on the throne at this time.

This is all a matter of Jiaozhi's development plan. Both Chen Mao and Yu Qian knew it well. When they mentioned it at this time, they just emphasized that after Jiaozhi achieved political, economic, and cultural victory, it still needed to control Luchuan to avoid future troubles.

Chen Mao stared blankly at the map of Kanyu, hesitated to speak, and said rather helplessly: "I'm afraid I won't see that day. I can only hope that my Ming Dynasty will work hard to govern, and the younger generations will strive to be strong."

He knows his own body best. Chen Mao can no longer ride a horse. He rode an ox when he entered the city. Although he can still last for a few years, Chen Mao is afraid that he will not be able to see that day due to the grand occasion of Wanghualuchuan.

Chen Mao was particularly disgusted with the twenty-four years of civil and military promotion, which had caused the Ming army to become a mess.

The army is the most rigid place, because military orders are overwhelming. What the army needs is obedience rather than having so many ideas. The Art of War says to move according to the times. If only it were that easy.

Twenty-four years of civil and military development had caused the most rigid place in the Ming Dynasty to fester from top to bottom. Chen Mao saw it and was anxious in his heart.

Your Majesty has been on the throne for more than ten years. In the past ten years, the military strength of the Ming Dynasty has been recovering rapidly. Unfortunately, Chen Mao will not see the day when the Ming Dynasty army will regain its glory.

Chen Mao stayed in Jiaozhi and never returned to the Ming Dynasty. He actually had a lot to say, but in the end he only left one sentence: "Work hard to succeed, let the next generation work hard, and don't destroy His Majesty's hard work."

Like Yang Hong, as a general, Chen Mao was inconvenient to express his political views too radically.

"Yes." Yu Qian looked at the Kan map and said leisurely. He was comforting Chen Mao. Yu Qian, who had already seen through politics, knew that history is an upward spiral and repetitions are inevitable.

When the day comes when His Majesty's dragon-riding guests arrive, those who hold grudges will definitely counterattack.

I just hope that by then, it won’t be as tragic as the orthodox fourteenth year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the 10th year of Jingtai, Annan was officially removed from the country, and Jiaozhi announced that the Department of Political Envoys would be reinstated.

After the Tianming Festival, Mu Lin left Shenglong City with the Yunnan-Guizhou border troops and returned to Yunnan-Guizhou. Yuan Bin, Tang Xing and Li Sicheng took the first step and returned to the Ming Dynasty to see His Majesty.

A month later, the Qing Hua Army was disbanded and returned to the field. Yu Qian, Zhang Mao, Zhu Yi, Shi Biao, Jiang Wan and others left Shenglong City and led the Beijing army in triumph.

Zhu Qiyu got up early in the morning and came to Dianbai Port. When the army returned home in triumph, Zhu Qiyu would personally greet the triumphant army. This was a tradition formed after the Battle of Xuanfu.

Dianbai Port, as early as the Nanliang period, Gaoliang County began to open up sea routes. After hundreds of years of development, it gradually formed: Gaozhou Ship (original in Bohe, along the coast of Diancheng), Guangdong Ship, Chaozhou Ship, Hainan Ship

, the four Lingnan ships of the four major ship systems.

The sails that covered the sky brought ivory, rhinoceros horn, jade, pearls, tortoise shells, spices and other items from Southeast Asia back to the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of tea, porcelain, silk, ironware, pens, inks, paper and inkstones were brought to Southeast Asia.

.

Today should have been the busiest time at Dianbai Port, but all the ships were waiting quietly at the port, without entering, leaving, loading or unloading cargo, because the Ming Dynasty army made a triumphant return today.

The 6,900-strong Shendian Guards were in charge of the peripheral defense to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause chaos, while the 3,000 Tiqi guards were waiting for the Ming Emperor in Guanlan Pavilion to return home in triumph.

The Guangzhou Shipping Department was established twenty miles away from Dianbai Port, and a circular City of All Nations was built in Dianbai Port. Any foreign barbarians who entered the Ming Dynasty had to live in the City of All Nations and be guarded by the Shendian Guards.

, there is no road leading to it, and if you leave the city, you will be shot without mercy.

Zhu Qiyu stood on the Guanlan Pavilion, looking at the sea, letting the salty sea breeze rustle his clothes.

The weather today is excellent, with a sapphire blue sky, cloudless, and the sea surface is as blue as water. Occasionally, you can see fish jumping out of the water, or seabirds swooping down, rushing into the water, and then jumping out of the water.

, flying farther and farther.

A whale jumped out of the water and then fell heavily, which attracted everyone's admiration.

"Your Majesty, we can see the masts of Haining and Lujiang." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu saw a large hazy mass of masts appearing on the sea surface, which were blurry and unclear. The two tallest ones indeed looked like the masts of Haining and Lujiang.

He picked up the telescope and looked at it for a long time and said, "It is indeed, let's go."

Xing'an shook the fly whisk, raised the whale-shaped bell and pestle, and the Chinese bell with seal characters rang. Xing'an shouted loudly: "Let's drive!"

Zhu Qiyu, dressed in imperial robes, boarded the jade chariot. Eighteen horses pulled the chariot forward slowly in a formation of 963. The umbrella cover embroidered with dragons and phoenixes fluttered in the wind. The bells of the advancing chariots and horses jingled.

The officials and minor officials closely followed the chariot toward the trestle.

When the eight gods stutter, thousands of officials will follow; when they return to their feet, they will return balance and show their majesty and magnificence.

Zhu Qiyu's jade chariot stopped in front of the tall general platform, waiting for the army to wait ashore.

Those who participated in the triumphal ceremony were the armies that participated in the war. In the expedition to Annan, even if there was no head reward for the first merit card, there was a Qi Li card, so 30,000 Beijing troops would participate.

Zhu Qiyu was standing on the general platform, watching the Ming Dynasty's imperial army pouring from the trestle to the foot of the general platform like a gurgling torrent.

Thirty thousand people disembarked, and it took a long time to line up under the general's platform. Zhu Qiyu stood under the dragon flag and quietly watched the army gather here again.

"I have fulfilled your orders and returned in triumph to pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live your Majesty." Yu Qian led many generals to salute and pay homage to the Emperor.

Zhu Qiyu didn't like to kneel down, and most people in Tiqi and the capital camp would do half a salute.

"Pingshen." Zhu Qiyu stretched his hand forward and said with a smile.

This invincible Ming Dynasty's capital camp was completely trained by Zhu Qiyu. In this county-Annan war, these 30,000 people were the best of the best, and they were responsible for tough tasks, such as deciding to rise to Long City.

The Duobang city that was defeated in the battle was captured by the Beijing army.

Zhu Qiyu is fully qualified to feel proud of this invincible army.

He grabbed the dragon flag and shouted: "The Ming army is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!" The army that had already stood up shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices rising straight into the sky, as if they were trying to scatter the clouds in the sky.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

The shouting lasted for a long time, echoing on the sea surface, causing the frightened seabirds to flee in panic.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his two hands and kept pressing down. After a long time, the shouting slowly stopped.

"Xing'an, announce the decree." Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne, waiting for Xing'an to announce the decree, and then began to discuss merits and reward him.

The two small yellow doors opened the imperial edict, and Xing'an's yin and yang frustrated voice sounded on the general ordering platform:

"The general conquered the barbarians with great aura, and his sword of autumn water and wild goose feathers hung on his waist."

"The wind blows the golden drums and the mountains and rivers move, and the lightning flashes and the flags stand high in the sun and the moon."

"There is a species of unicorn in the sky, but no ants in the cave can escape."

"On the day when Taiping issued an imperial edict and returned to his hometown, he and the general took off their war robes."

Before the imperial edict was read out, there was a poem. It was obvious that it must have been written by His Majesty himself, rather than being written by a literati, because His Majesty's poetry has always been like this, without paying attention to meter.

When I listened to His Majesty's poems, I mainly listened to His Majesty's wishes. It was obvious that His Majesty was overjoyed that the Ming Dynasty army returned to the court in victory, and even wrote a poem to the Ming Dynasty army.

"Ni Cong's father and son were barbarian thieves and officials. They were clowns of Yi origin who took advantage of the crisis and raped the barbarians. They pretended to be officials and subordinates. They even committed crimes and were good at writing imperial edicts. They often used royal seals to represent the emperor..."

This time when the decree was announced, Zhu Qiyu gave a total of seven Qigong tablets, more than 20,000 First skill tablets, and more than 10,000 Qili tablets. The 30,000 Beijing troops were brave enough to kill many people because they were not afraid of battle.
