Chapter 857: Dog Eats Dog


Sure enough, Zhu Gaoxu can tolerate all kinds of nonsense in Beijing, but he violates the rules and receives foreign ministers without authorization, which is beyond the bottom limit that a strong emperor like Zhu Di can tolerate.

Receiving foreign envoys is a declaration of sovereignty, the prince did not obey the edict and did not dare to go beyond Lei Chi, the king of Han actually received foreign ministers without authorization, which is what the subjects of the world think of this will make the Quartet have an impression of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Di immediately sent a lieutenant to the Han Palace, and severely reprimanded him.

The battle for the power of the commander of the southern expedition was quickly decided because of this matter, and the day after Zhu Di received the report of the king of Han receiving the foreign ministers without authorization, the edict was promulgated: Zhang Fu was ordered to hang the seal of the general of the conquest and pacify Annan.

In order not to make a move, this time the emperor drew one guard and one horse from Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, Guangdong, and Guangxi, plus one guard and horse from Beijing, a total of 47,000 people, led by Zhang Fu, and the troops were sent to each other, and together with Mu Sheng, who was still there to quell the rebellion and was in a hurry, to work together to conquer and suppress the rebels.

Zhang Fu immediately bowed to the general and set off.

At this time, the situation in Annam has also undergone some changes, Jian Ding's general Chen Jikuo claimed to be a descendant of the Chen family, suddenly launched a mutiny, took over Jian Ding's soldiers and horses, in order to appease Jian Ding's old department, he worshiped Jian Ding as his father-in-law, and then abandoned the title of King of Nan, proclaimed himself the emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom, respected Jian Ding as the emperor, and called on all anti-troops to submit to him, and the situation in Annam further deteriorated.

Zhang Fu killed Annan violently, and before he joined Mu Sheng, Chen Jikuo's soldiers and horses were killed, Zhang Fu sent Yizhen and Xu Zheng to fight, and defeated the Annan soldiers in a battle, but General Xu Zheng was also hit by the flying spear thrown by the Annan soldiers on the battlefield, and died heroically.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fu transferred to Xianzi Pass, the general of Annam, Ruan Shihai, led 20,000 people and more than 600 ships to fight, Zhang Fu dispatched troops, marched in boats, and fired artillery arrows simultaneously, beheaded more than 3,000 people in a battle, drowned countless people, captured only more than 200 people, and captured more than 400 warships.

In this battle, the number of dead was more than ten times that of those who were captured alive, which shows the tragedy of the war.

Zhang Fu took advantage of the victory to attack, and successively pacified Jiaozhou, Beijiang, Langjiang, Xin'an, Jianchang, Zhenman and other prefectures, followed by another army to Taiping Haikou, and defeated Deng Jingyi, the general of Annam.

Chen Jikuo was frightened by Zhang Fu's fierce offensive, and hurriedly sent a crony named Duan Zishi, waving a white flag to Zhang Fu's army, once again declaring that he was indeed a descendant of the Chen family, and was willing to give up the emperor's honorific title, surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and ask for the title of prince.

Zhang Fu sneered and reprimanded: "A certain person was ordered to beg for a thief, but I don't know anything else" Since ancient times, the two countries have fought each other, and they have not been killed.

However, Zhang Fu did not regard Annan as a country, so he beheaded Duan Zishi, and ordered Zhu Rong and Cai Fu to ride first, and he led the boat division to follow closely behind, from the Yellow River to the Shentou Sea, and the division was in Qinghua, and then entered the Lei River, killing the generals all the way.

Along the way, he was invincible and invincible, and it was really like destroying the withering and decaying, and completely established the prestige of Zhang Fu's god of war in the hearts of the Annan people.

Seeing that it was invincible, the Annan army began to gradually abandon the resistance of the frontal battlefield, withdrew the large army into the jungle, and sent a small force of troops to detour back to the rear of the Ming army to carry out guerrilla warfare.

With the ease of defeat, the difficulty of surrendering to the heart, with Zhang Fu's every step of progress, the casualties of the Ming army and the Ming generals are inevitable, killing 1,000 people, self-loss 800, and more money and food consumption, like flowing water, the current battlefield victories, whether it can be exchanged for long-term peace and stability in the future, it is necessary to see the aftermath.

But in the capital, what he received was frequent good news, Zhu Di was overjoyed, coinciding with the Lantern Festival, Zhu Di told the Ministry of Rites, the government and the people were one, and they were happy and peaceful.

Since the eleventh day of the first month, the Lantern Festival holiday has been given for ten days, hundreds of officials have not done anything, there are urgent matters with this book to seal the punishment, Xu Junmin Zhang Lantern drinking for fun, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities have released the night ban on this ten days.

At this time, he had not yet left, because his mission had not yet been completed.

He went to the Han King's Mansion, thinking that he would first stammer, move around more, and then put forward his purpose and enlist the help of the Han King.

Who knew that the first time he went back, King Han opened the middle door and welcomed him grandly, but the second time he went back, he ate the closed door and didn't even let him enter the door.

I was so depressed that I couldn't do it: This Han King is too unkind, so he accepted such a generous gift, and when he accepted it, he turned his face and didn't recognize people He didn't know that when he learned that the deceived King Han was so angry that he gritted his teeth, if he hadn't been afraid that he was a foreign minister, and he didn't dare to contact him again, he would have rushed out and beaten him half to death, and it was really cheap for him to just ask him to eat a bowl of soup.

If he can't achieve his goal, he refuses to leave, and he stays in the capital all day long, often pestering Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to ask to see the emperor.

The King of Han missed the opportunity, and Chen Ying had no choice but to hope that Yu Shiji, who was going to eastern Zhejiang on business, could find out some of Yang Xu's handle and return the favor to the prince.

At the same time, the king of Han received Xie Jin's advice to the emperor, accusing him of overstepping the courtesy of the crown prince, and secretly held a grudge, so he instructed his own people to use every opportunity to destroy Xie Jin's image in the heart of his father.

Although Xie Jin is well-known in the world, his emotional intelligence is really poor, and there are very few colleagues who have a good relationship with him, even if irrelevant people will not say bad things about him, they will not risk offending the King of Han to say good things for him, and Xie Jin still doesn't know it, because all the cabinet scholars are mentioned as second-class, but he is thrown outside, Xie Jin is quite unfair.

Xie Jin's utilitarianism is relatively large, and his position as the first assistant of the cabinet is the pinnacle of his political career.

Now the second assistant, the third assistant and the first person who are under him are all promoted to the second grade, but he is left in place, which is a clear signal that the emperor is dissatisfied with him.

This kind of trick has been played by Xia Xun, Ji Gang, and even King Han.

Forbearance is a powerful force, in the officialdom, the person who can endure loneliness is the person with the most tenacious vitality, but Xie Jin is not like this, he can't stand such a psychological gap, he is emotional, he not only said some yin and yang weird words in front of some colleagues and even the little eunuchs who listened to errands, but also expressed this emotion at work: called the sick stack.

This kind of performance, in fact, from ancient times to the present, we can see it in too many officials, and this method cannot be said to be necessarily wrong, because there are indeed some strong cabinet elders and powerful ministers in history, once the emperor is stacked, he will not be able to bear it, and he has to submit to him.

But you also have to see who your boss is, Zhu Di, the big boss, will always be the master of the infinite combat value of the full blood and demons, as if he is hanging, you have an emotional relationship with him to relieve his emotions, and the direct result is to make Zhu Di's disgust for him more and more serious.

Xie Jin wanted to pretend to be a resentful woman, but it turned out to be self-defeating, which was really unexpected, and it was a little too late to redeem it at this time.

Xie Jin's passive resistance is impossible to make it clear, and it is impossible to say this kind of unfair thoughts to others, and this unpleasant interaction between him and Zhu Di is only felt by the two of them.

Zhu Gaochi and Xia Xun rarely heard of this, but the people sent by the Han King often said bad things about Xie Jin in front of the emperor, so that the two of them inquired, and the two also privately mentioned Xie Jin, Xie Jin was in an emotional relationship with the emperor at the time, and he didn't listen to it at all.

At this time, Xie Jin gradually lost his favor, but Xia Xun didn't notice it, because his attention was already all on the Vara Messenger.

Arutai secretly sent an envoy to Daming to tell Warat about the black state, and soon it was known to Warat, and Warat did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent the prefect to Hai'er to Jinling to pay tribute, and he was sincerely afraid, but the actual purpose was to provoke the relationship between the Ming court and the Tatars.

Zhu Di's intentions for the Tatars have long been clear, and the intentions for Warat are no exception, but his view of the north is: "Separation is easy to system, and cooperation is difficult to plan", and the corresponding policy is: "appease the weak, strike at the strong, those who come do not refuse, and go against the fate will be annihilated" Therefore, he was happy to pretend to be confused, and asked Tatar and Warat to accuse each other in front of his "faint king", fight in the ring, and intensify the contradictions between the two sides.

He played Tai Chi between the envoys of Tatar and Warat, instigating dogs on both sides to bite dogs, and these two dogs bitten until the end of the Lantern Festival, when Tatar suddenly threw out a big killing weapon.

This great weapon of destruction is: the Great Khan of Waramili Originally, the Tatars did not want to throw out this secret so early, but their envoys to the Ming did not achieve the desired effect, although the emperor released Arutai's brother and sister and asked someone to send them back to Tatar, but there was no plan for the Tatars, and they attacked Warat.

On the contrary, the relations between Warat and Tatar were tense, and the envoys of the two countries on the Jinling side fought a big war of words, and the Warat on the steppe side frequently provoked on the Tatar border, and friction continued, and Arutai was almost overwhelmed.

At this time, the battle situation in Annan was already clear, and Zhang Fubing sent Annan, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and he actually captured Jian Ding, the emperor of Dayue Kingdom, alive.

In fact, this is the Emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom Chen Jikuo's plan to borrow a knife, although he worshiped Jian Ding as his father-in-law and annexed Jian Ding's soldiers and horses, but leaving him there as the emperor is a threat after all, who knows if he will suddenly come to a restoration.

Therefore, when Chen Jikuo retreated like a jungle, he secretly used means to make the emperor Jian Ding retreat in time, and was caught by Zhang Fu, after Chen Jikuo fled into the mountains, he said that the emperor was forced by Jian Ding, and then hurriedly canceled his so-called emperor title and abdicated the throne.

In this way, the two sides have a lot of room for discussion, Zhang Fu also noticed that the next battle is becoming more and more difficult to fight, Chen Jikuo is playing hide and seek with him in the jungle, this consumption alone is very amazing, and the court can't afford it for a long time, so he accepted Chen Jikuo's request to surrender and negotiate peace, and escorted Jian Ding to Beijing.

Annan temporarily entered a period of stability, but the Tatar side was frequently invaded by Warat, Arutai estimated that the Ming Dynasty had the spare strength to put pressure on Warat at this time, so he sent people to Jinling, instructed Tokhu to throw out their secret weapon, namely: Warat secretly set up Tokhtobu as the Mongol Great Khan Even if the three kings of Warat are against the yang and yin, they are also vassals of the Ming Dynasty, but the three kings of Warat welcome the Great Khan, and the quality of this surname is completely different, if the news is true, it is a rebellion, and the Ming Dynasty is bound to make a clear reaction.

What interests Xia Xun even more is: What kind of person is this detachment Xia Xun was engrossed in this matter, and Xie Jin's small actions like a resentful woman falling out of favor were naturally ignored by him.
