For Annan, a small country that continued to start by usurping the throne, Zhu Cihong planned to help them and end the dispute.

But it's not now, now the Ming cabinet and local officials are being handed over, and they are still in the New Year, and they will send troops to Batavia after the New Year, and everyone is very busy.

Zhu Cihong issued an order to ask Sun Yingyuan to send Li Weixi, the prince of Annam, to Nanjing, and let the officials of Honglu Temple take him on a tour of Nanjing.

Then, he sent an official of Honglu Temple to Annan with a holy decree to reprimand Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital, and asked him to return the government to the king of Annan honestly, and came to Nanjing to confess his guilt to the Ming Dynasty.

All in all, the year can't be over.

Zhu Cihong did this, as if he was learning Mao Zi's Pu boss's method of handling the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute.

Armenia was beaten, so he frequently asked Maozi for help, but Boss Pu ignored it, only listened to his ears, and did nothing serious.

Because the current president of Armenia came to power at the instigation of the West, after taking office, he began to target Mao Zi with the support of the United States, which led to a rift in Russian-Asian relations.

When the war broke out and Armenia suffered heavy losses, the general boss just didn't do anything, because he was afraid that the guy would not have a long memory, thinking that Mao Zi couldn't let go of the interests of the Caucasus and was bound by geographical factors to help.

Silence is Maozi's weapon that makes Armenia fearful, and Boss Pu used silence to beat President Banya and taught Lao Pa a good lesson.

Now Lao Pa's performance is convinced, he doesn't dare to complain, he doesn't dare to complain, and he waits for Maozi to intervene.

Of course, Daming's solution to the Annan problem is not as complicated as Maozi's, after all, it is not a one-grade existence.

Zhu Cihong is not unable to get along with Annan, but with the Li Dynasty, he wants to tell Annan that your Hou Li Dynasty is rebelling against the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, and you have obtained the position of the king of Annam as a foreign relative, which is not right.

I usually don't pay much attention to Daming, and there are few gifts during the New Year's holidays, and now I want Daming to help you when you cry your nose? Save it, brother!

On the sixth day of the first month of the twelfth year of Tianwu, the first court meeting of the new year of the Ming Dynasty, the issue of Annan was put on the agenda.

Interestingly, when the Ming Dynasty discussed the issue of vassal states, there were always ministers who jumped out and said: "Ignore them, let them make trouble!" ”

Or Yun: "As soon as the soldiers provoke, the southwest will be eroded!" ”

However, this time, in addition to the generals who were noisy and wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying to clean up Annan, the ministers were even more emotional, not only did not talk about the country that the emperor and Ming ancestors did not teach to conquer, but also encouraged to talk about the big truth.

For example, Yang Shicong, the second assistant of the cabinet, jumped out first and said: "In the past, Emperor Chengzu sent troops to Annan, which was closely related to the Three Treasures Eunuch going to the West!" Annan is located in the southwest of our Ming Dynasty and the connection of the South Seas, can be allowed to be a springboard for me to pass through the West, such an important geographical location, how can I not personally take charge? ”

The ministers nodded frequently and echoed loudly.

The facts tell everyone that the decision of Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, to take Annam was deliberate and had deeper strategic considerations, realizing the military presence of the Ming Dynasty in the Indochina Peninsula, echoing Zheng He's fleet from afar, and consolidating the Western tributary system by land and sea.

Fang Yizhi, the new secretary of Honglu Temple, came out and said: "After Emperor Chengzu set up Jiaozhi Province, Yongle can control the kingdoms of Zhancheng, Siam, and Zhenla in one day, and can control Sumatra, Jiugang, Guawa, and Muddy near Manchu and the peninsula in the distance!"

Cheng Zu said: 'The thieves of Annan Li will be captured, and the land of the South China Sea will be pure', this sage said the direct impact of setting up Jiaozhi County! ”

To put it bluntly, the Ming Dynasty's control of Annam can greatly enhance its control and influence over the South China Sea, and provide a guarantee for future access to the West, and the strategic significance of Annam in the South China Sea is even greater than that of Luzon.

In this matter, Yang Tinglin, the first assistant of the cabinet, rarely did not raise the bar with Yang Shicong, he said: "After the Xuande Dynasty abandoned Jiaozhi, the negative impact on my Ming Dynasty was long-term and fatal, and this move dealt a heavy blow to the international prestige of my Ming Dynasty in the Nanyang region and shook the status of the suzerain!" ”

What Yang Tinglin means is that small Nanyang countries such as Java, Sumatra, and Sulu have basically not come to pay tribute since the Ming Dynasty abandoned Jiaozhi, so that they were later invaded by Europa colonists and became slaves to worship Western devils.

Next, it was even more lively, and the ministers of the full hall not only declared the importance of Annan, but also analyzed it from the perspective of the suzerain.

said that the Zheng family was a traitor in Annam, ignoring the etiquette and law, ignoring the education of the country, forcing the king to death, and deposing the king at will, and never asking the Ming Dynasty!

Such an unscrupulous challenge to the status of the Ming suzerain, it should be cut with a thousand knives, whip the corpse for three generations, and kill chickens and monkeys to deter the countries of the South Seas!

Zhu Cihong's eyes on the throne were shining, and the words spoken by these civil officials with murderous aura made him feel excited and enthusiastic.

After the discussion was reached, a young official jumped out of the last row of the minister's train and said in a loud voice: "The minister proposes to restore my Ming Dynasty's three propaganda and six comforts in the southwest!" ”

Zhu Cihong took a closer look and recognized this person, it turned out to be Zhou Peigong, the new Minister of Education.

At this time, Yang Shicong jumped out and accused Zhou Peigong: "Zhou Peigong, now we are discussing the matter of Annan, what are you doing so far?" ”

Although there are only seven grades in the matter, but his identity is special, and he is in charge of admonishment, supplementation, gleaning, auditing, refuting the edict, and refuting the chapter of the hundred divisions, Zhou Peigong is still qualified to stand here and speak.

Interestingly, Zhou Peigong was Yang Shicong's protégé, and he was also pulled into the Ministry of Education, but at this time, Yang Shicong jumped out to reprimand the disciple.

Yang Tinglin knew that this fool began to shake his wits and attack himself again.

In the "dispute between the two Yangs" of the Tianwu Dynasty, as we all know, Yang Tinglin and Yang Shicong were fellow scholars, and they were both the attendants of Prince Zhu Cihong, and they began to compete secretly 20 years ago.

Yang Tinglin didn't answer, he knew that Yang Shicong saw that the emperor's mind was by no means limited to Annan, and he summoned his ministers to discuss Annan, and he must be preparing to deal with those vassal opponents.

Zhou Peigong mentioned the three announcements and six comforts, which was in line with the emperor's wishes, if Yang Tinglin jumped out to oppose it, he would fall for Yang Shicong's tricks, making the emperor dissatisfied with him in his heart.

Yang Tinglin can see it, and Zhu Cihong can naturally see it.

Yang Shicong's biggest advantage is acquaintance, like He Shen, he will figure out the holy will, and he will arrange in advance what the master thinks.

This matter is the same, but he promoted Zhou Peigong by the way.

The "Eryang dispute" is a situation that Zhu Cihong is willing to see, and if the civil officials are all together, it will make him feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Yang Tinglin and Yang Shicong are both smart people, and they never do things in major national affairs, but they usually catch each other's pigtails in handling affairs for officials and kill the other party's unfavorable little brother.

In fact, Zhu Cihong had long wanted to send troops to Annan to restore Jiaozhi County and conquer the Indochina Peninsula.

However, at that time, the foreign enemies of the Ming Dynasty had not been eliminated, and the sudden action against the younger brother would make the Ming fall into passivity, so the matter of Annan has been delayed.
