718 Thinking too much
This Solinnawangsa came in the official uniform of the Xuanfu envoy who was rewarded by the Ming Dynasty. When she appeared in front of Emperor Chongzhen, she was very respectful and strictly followed the etiquette of the Ming ministers.
Emperor Chongzhen guessed what he thought just after seeing him, but he remained silent and just let him calm down first.
Sure enough, after Solinnawangsa calmed down, he immediately responded respectfully: "I heard that Your Majesty is fighting against Annan's rebellion, so I specially led my troops to do my best; but I didn't expect that Your Majesty had already shown his power and destroyed Annan's rebellion. I congratulate Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "Oh, it seems that you are interested!"
"The Lao Xuanfu Envoy has always been loyal to the Ming Dynasty and has no disagreement!" After hearing this, Solinnawangsa immediately expressed his opinion, as if he was sincere.
From the current point of view, the Southern Palm Dynasty did not show any hostility to the Ming Dynasty, and there were no relevant historical records in later generations. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen recognized his statement.
However, before he could speak, Solinnawangsa continued to express his loyalty: "A few years ago, I didn't know that the red barbarians were heartless and had an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. But now I happened to learn that I had captured the red barbarians on my side and came with the army to escort him, waiting for His Majesty to take the lead!"
"Oh, is that?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
Solinnawangsa was simply and immediately stated that the red barbarians were outside the city and could be accepted by the Ming army. In addition, they also brought valuable tributes to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to express the wishes of the Lao Xuanfu Department.
After listening to his words and observing his actions, Emperor Chongzhen was very sure why Solinnawangsa performed like this.
It must have been my own leadership to quell the rebellion of Yunnan Tusi, and not only implemented large-scale reform of land and return to the current situation, but also destroyed Donggo in one fell swoop, and eventually became a province of the Ming Dynasty. You should know that Donggo was nominally the same as the Nanzhang side, and was the Xuanwei envoy of the Ming Dynasty.
Not only that, after destroying Dongwu's Tou Dynasty, he then led his troops and attacked Annan. Annan was like Nanzhang, and also the Xuanwei Envoy.
Of course, the most important thing is that you lead the army to fight, you will be invincible and defeat all the attacks. This continuous war scared Solinnawangsa, who is also the Xuanwei Department of the Ming Dynasty. What if you lead your troops to continue attacking him?
He must have felt that there was this possibility, so he didn't want to make excuses to attack. He immediately posted it to show his loyalty, trying to save his throne, and did not want to destroy the country.
Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and he had to say that he was too much thinking about this Solinnawangsa.
Although Emperor Chongzhen had been fighting in the north and the north before, and destroyed whoever he saw, not only destroyed the entire Mongolian, but even the remote places of the three tribes in Mobei had to let them surrender directly instead of surrender. In the end, he sent troops to the Arctic Ocean to compete with Tsarist Russia for territory. In addition, North Korea has also become a province of the Ming Dynasty, so is Donggo, and now Annan is again.
However, this does not mean that Emperor Chongzhen would want everything! Direct occupation and become part of the Ming Dynasty will be subject to jurisdiction. In some places, it will not be worth the loss.
For example, for the Ming Dynasty, the area of Nanyang will be a burden after occupation. At least in the short term, no one can imagine levied enough taxes from these provinces. Instead, it takes too much energy to improve their transportation and improve people's lives.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen never thought about defeating all the Nanzhang, Thailand and other places.
The reason for the capture of Togo is that the Tou Dynasty was hostile to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the view of Togo is the best channel for the Ming Dynasty to directly lead to the Indian Ocean. For the future global layout, it must be built.
Annan is actually the same. Not to mention later generations, but before, he was also hostile to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, occupying Annan was equivalent to truly expanding the doorstep of the Ming Dynasty to the doorsteps of various countries in the South China Sea. Later, expelling the Western barbarians in the South China Sea and truly making advance plans for the left and right Nanyang, which is a necessary springboard.
After Donggo and Annan, other places were no longer important. Emperor Chongzhen did not want to spend time on attacking and occupying. It would be boring if he just used it as a colony. It would be better to let the Xuanwei envoy today and let them pay tribute.
Of course, this tribute is a real tribute, rather than just doing it, tribute something, and the Ming Dynasty, who was the supreme kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom, would reward them with several times the value.
Now that the Ming Dynasty is truly powerful, there is no need for such face. As a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, you should do whatever you want!
In addition, keeping these vassal states can also allow the Ming Dynasty to trade with each other, and through the comparison between the people of the two countries, the people can feel happy and let them know how happy it is to be the people of the Ming Dynasty. Because happiness is a comparison.
Now that Solinnawangsa showed goodwill in such a low manner, Emperor Chongzhen would not reach out to beat the smiling people, so he praised him and told him clearly that he did not intend to change the Lao Xuanfu Department and return the territory to the land and let him do it well. If there is any movement in the Southeast Asian country, it will be detrimental to the Ming Dynasty, etc.
In response to this, Solinnawangsa couldn't help but be overjoyed, and agreed repeatedly, patting her chest and saying that there was absolutely no problem!
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to go back.
Needless to say, when Solinnawangsa met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty at the mouth of the river, he also saw the battlefield here. He saw with his own eyes how the Ming Dynasty slaughtered the Annan forces that were stronger than his southern palm without any power to fight back. He was extremely glad that he had come the right trip.
Otherwise, if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty might not be able to resist if he could force his troops to attack Nanzhang!
The Ming Dynasty is so powerful!
After such a small episode, Emperor Chongzhen led the troops to follow the Tao River with the scheduled Annan officials who had already arrived and finally met with Lu Xiangsheng's troops in Shenglong Mansion.
Outside Shenglong Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng led the troops from Guangdong and Guangxi and the soldiers of the Fujian Navy to welcome the emperor ten miles away.
Calculate the time, Emperor Chongzhen really hasn't seen Lu Xiangsheng in several years. Now when he sees him, Emperor Chongzhen feels that he seems to have more respect for him. After thinking a little, he will be the result of letting him return to his hometown to visit his relatives?
He didn't care about this, and immediately smiled and chatted with Lu Xiangsheng about family matters and asked him how the situation was at home. Sure enough, Lu Xiangsheng showed more gratitude and answered them all one by one, indicating that it was very good.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen saw Zheng Chenggong, standing respectfully among the generals, and then pointed him out, asked about the situation about Taiwan, and praised the war of his easy capture of Taiwan.
It can be said that in the context of victorious battles, the meeting between the king and the minister was a harmonious relationship between the outside world.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen naturally had to give further instructions to Annan.
Today, most of the original Mo family dynasty and the Li dynasty have been directly captured by the Ming Dynasty. The remaining Li dynasty and the Ruan family's location have not been defeated yet.
However, whether it was the Zheng family or the Ruan family, the main force had been destroyed, and the rest was not worth worrying. Emperor Chongzhen did not think about leading the troops to attack himself. After almost a year of his outing, it was time to go back to Beijing.
Emperor Chongzhen handed over all the things in Annan to Lu Xiangsheng, asking him to defeat the entire Annan area and appease the people.
In addition, after Emperor Chongzhen issued a clear order, the Zheng and Ruan families strictly controlled their respective territories and implemented high-pressure rule, for fear that some people would abandon the darkness and turn to the light like in Yunnan, so they killed many people.
During the war, he strictly controlled his subordinates to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty, and many people were killed by the Ming Dynasty. Annan, which had been under a large population because of years of war, became even more widespread.
This Annan is to be used as a springboard to attack Nanyang in the future. It is not as large as the land and sparsely populated.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen issued another order to imitate the preferential national policies of Liaodong, Korea and Dongwu, attracting the Ming people to live in Annan. Lu Xiangsheng can also be said to be familiar with this related matter, and Emperor Chongzhen was very relieved to give it to him.
In addition, Emperor Chongzhen also specifically explained that the Fujian Navy would be expanded and would be renamed not the Fujian Navy in the future, but the Southeastern Navy of the Ming Dynasty. The jurisdiction was the southeastern coast of the Ming Dynasty. Its three bases were set up, namely Taiwan, Hainan and Yi'an in Annan.
Zheng Chenggong was originally a Fujian coastal defense guerrilla. Now, because of the military achievements of Taiwan and Annan, he has also been named the deputy general of the Ming Southeast Navy, and is in charge of the Ming Southeast Navy, and is under the command of Lu Xiangsheng.
Before leaving, Emperor Chongzhen of course could not help but explain to Lu Xiangsheng, asking him to squeeze out the value of the Folang Jiren as much as possible. Relatively speaking, the Folang Jiren is still good at shipbuilding, navigation, and firearms. He set up shipyards and firearms in Yi'an, and tried to use the Folang Jiren as much as possible.
Lu Xiangsheng was naturally overjoyed about this situation. Although he was good at cold weapons, how could he not know how powerful the fire weapons were after fighting for so many years?
After explaining these, Emperor Chongzhen led the army brought from the capital and the ashes of soldiers who died in the south and returned to the capital.
At this time, it was December 19th year of the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was too late to rush back to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Even if he took a boat to sea first, then went to Guangdong along the coastline, it was too late to celebrate the New Year in Guangzhou.
In later generations, Emperor Chongzhen lived in this generation for a long time, and now he is still feeling a little sad. However, when he comes here, he actually has something to do.
He summoned the Guangdong Governor and gave him face-to-face advice, so that he could increase the organization of trade with the Folang Ji people and earn more silver; and also gave a list of things needed by the Ming Dynasty, so that the Guangdong Governor could do his job according to the rules.
At least in Emperor Chongzhen's opinion, he needed talents, scientific books and the like in Europe.
