Chapter 1039: Annan has changed
During the New Year's Day holiday, hundreds of officials were on holiday, although the Ming Empire was very powerful, there were still troublesome neighbors, and the first to cause trouble was Annan.
On the second day of the first lunar month, Sun Yingyuan, the governor of the Southern Military Governor's Office, submitted an urgent report that there was a change in Annan.
Li Weixi, the prince of the Later Li Dynasty in Annam, smuggled to Yunnan and asked for help from the Southern Military Governor's Office, crying that Lord Zheng was unreasonable, bullying the royal family, and asking the Ming Dynasty to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Annam, that is, the later Vietnam, was the political envoy of Jiaozhi during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
In that piece of Vietnam, since 111 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed the Nanyue Kingdom, and set up three counties in northern Vietnam, namely Cochin, Jiu Zhen, and Ri Nam, to implement direct administration.
For more than 1,000 years, the Cochin region was largely under the direct jurisdiction of the Chinese dynasties, such as the Han, Sooc, Jin, Southern, Sui, Tang, Southern Han, and Ming dynasties.
During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, canonized the king of Annam, Chen, and since then, Annam has followed the example of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty, and the king's succession and other major events need to be reported to the Ming Emperor, and it can only be confirmed as legal after being officially canonized.
During the period of Emperor Jianwen, the ministers surnamed Annan Hu usurped the throne and seized the throne surnamed Chen, and sent an envoy to the court during the Yongle period to ask Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty to be canonized.
After Zhu Di was fooled, he officially canonized the surname Hu as the king of Annam, and later found out that something was wrong, Chen Tianping, the younger brother of the king of Annam, came to the capital to complain.
Because the usurping king surnamed Hu confessed in time, carried out profound criticism and self-criticism, and promised to return the throne to the surname Chen, which made Zhu Di tolerate him and sent troops to send Chen Tianping back to Annan.
Who knew that the fake king surnamed Hu was a frog at the bottom of the well who was bold, and he actually sent troops to ambush the Ming army escorting, and killed Chen Tianping in front of the Ming army, and only said sorry after the incident.
After the news reached Nanjing, Zhu Di was furious, and slapped the table on the spot to send 300,000 troops to crusade against Annan's rebellion, and the commander was Zhu Neng, the ancestor of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who was killed by Zhu Cihong himself.
Zhu Neng was unlucky, unfortunately fell ill during the march, and died after ineffective rescue.
Taking over as Zhu Neng's commander is the ancestor Zhang Fu of the British Duke Zhang Shize, Zhang Fu was still young at that time, and the troops were even more ferocious, such as entering a no-man's land, even breaking through the two passes of the pass and Jiling, attacking all the way, and then meeting with the army of Mu Sheng, the second son of Mu Ying, King of Qianning, on the other road.
After that, the Ming army marched all the way, even grass Annan several defense lines, conquered the entire territory of Annan, captured the fake king Hu father and son, and escorted back to China, Annan was pacified, and Zhu Di changed the Annan country that lost the heir to the throne to Jiaozhi Bu political envoy.
But the Ming Dynasty has been unification of Annan without governance, there are many rebellions in various places, to the Xuande period, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji carried out a comprehensive strategic contraction, in the cabinet ministers Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others under the suggestion, finally abolished the Jiaozhi Bu political envoy, Annan accepted the Ming canonization, the establishment of the Li Dynasty.
The later story is that Annan once again staged a great drama of seizing the throne of the powerful ministers, one after another, which was more lively than Cao Wei and Sima Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China.
First, the coercion of the surname Mo and then the emperor of the Li Dynasty Chan Rang and established the Mo Dynasty.
Then, the surnamed Ruan recruited troops in the south to revive the Li Dynasty, supported the descendants of the Li clan as emperors, and confronted the Mo Dynasty, and Annam was in chaos since then.
The surname Li could not do the surname Mo, and in the end, history repeated itself, and sent an envoy to Beijing of the Ming Dynasty to state that the Mo clan usurped the throne and seized power, and asked the Ming Dynasty to crusade against the Mo clan.
At that time, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Jiajing, who cultivated immortals and attained Taoism, and he didn't talk much, so he sent troops directly!
Mo Chao saw that the Ming army was pressing the border, where did he dare to fight, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to surrender, and dedicated the land register and household registration of Annan to the Ming Dynasty.
Worried that the Ming army would come to cut people, the emperor of the Mo Dynasty and dozens of ministers bowed down to themselves, and went to Zhennanguan to ask the Ming officials to surrender.
Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi learned from Chengzu Zhu Di, demoted Annan to the Annan Metropolitan Envoy Division, and the subordinate country was reduced to a dependent territory, and changed the thirteen provinces to the thirteen Xuanfu Divisions.
To a certain extent, after the Jiajing Dynasty, Annan was an administrative autonomous unit within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
The autonomy of the Ming Dynasty, that is, no matter what happened, in the following decades, Annam has been fighting internally, and by the time of the Wanli Dynasty, it had also become a situation in which the Mo Dynasty, Houli, Zhancheng, and Longping stood side by side.
The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, must be united, and the same is true for the little Annan.
In the twentieth year of Wanli, the Later Li Dynasty produced a powerful character, a general named Zheng Song broke the Mo Dynasty in the north, and the Later Li Dynasty returned to the old capital of Shenglong.
As the saying goes, the merit is high, and this is not true at all, especially the military general in charge of the army, once the merit is great, he will do things!
China has usurped the throne since ancient times, there are no civil officials, and they are basically military generals, and Annan has been influenced by Chinese culture for thousands of years, and there is also a Cao Cao.
Zheng Song, who destroyed the Mo Dynasty, became a hot figure in the Later Li Dynasty, with monstrous power, and appointed himself as "the marshal of the capital and the general government of the country, the father of the king of peace", holding the rights of officials to appoint and dismiss, levy taxes, draw ding, and govern the people, and his status was hereditary, and he was known as "Zheng Zhu".
The emperor of the Li Dynasty was completely hollowed out, and was only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys.
The matter reported by Sun Yingyuan is related to this Zheng master.
According to the information held by the Southern Military Governor's Office, as well as the cry of Li Weixi, the prince of the Later Li Dynasty who smuggled to Yunnan, the Zheng family had no courtesy and humiliated the royal family.
In order to gain the sympathy of the Ming Emperor, the prince listed a circle of Zheng's crimes, which were transferred to the imperial front by the Southern Military Governor's Office.
This charge is very detailed, and in order to facilitate the understanding of the Ming Emperor, the year was also converted into the name of the Ming Emperor.
"In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Zheng Song, the king of Ping'an, coerced the ancestor Li Jingzong to hang himself, and supported Li Weiqi, the eldest son of Jingzong, as the emperor (Li Shenzong), that is, the father of the minister......"
"In the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital, coerced his father to give the throne to his brother Li Weiyou (Li Zhenzong)."
"In the fifth year of Tianwu, the power minister Zheng clan had a war with the southern regime Ruan clan, and the minister's brother was tortured to death, and the minister's father was reinstated, and then he was tortured by the Zheng clan....."
"The Li Dynasty of the ministers, the Li family is the emperor, the Zheng family is in power, the Zheng family betrays the people and kills the lord, brutal, the Tokugawa of Juda, the minister is not self-sufficient, wailing His Majesty, I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the division of the hanging felling, the righteousness of the long, the rule of the small country of the Li family, eliminate the traitors, and the ministers beg to worship the ......"
Originally, the royal family of the Li Dynasty did not dare to confront the Zheng family, and planned to eat and wait for death every day, and live one day at a time.
However, the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate killed the king, the Ming Dynasty waved his army to crusade, and even the emperor drove to Japan, which made the Li Dynasty royal family see hope, so the family held together, and tried to smuggle the second prince to the Ming Dynasty, hoping that he could move the rescue soldiers and rescue everyone.
After reading this touching recital with tears in his eyes, Zhu Cihong smiled unkindly: "With such intelligence, can An fight over the ministers?" ”
Some of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty call themselves emperors or something at home, such as the Emperor of Japan, but they can only be called at home.
When conducting diplomacy or court meetings with the Ming Dynasty, he always called himself a little king or something, such as Japan is the king of Japan, and he never dared to say that he was the emperor.
Because in the Ming Dynasty's vassal system, the suzerainty is the upper kingdom, the monarch is the emperor, and the only emperor in the Eastern world, the kings or monarchs of all countries must submit to the emperor's rule, and the entire Eastern world is the emperor's world!
This prince of the Annan Li Dynasty actually mentioned the words Emperor Lili and other words in the song, isn't this a stupid fork?
