Zhu Di wanted to use troops abroad for a day or two, and with extra money, of course he couldn't hold back. Coincidentally, Annan jumped out, and it was strange that Zhu Di could let it go.

He even wanted to drive the expedition in person, but considering the busy state affairs, Zhu Di could only endure it for the time being. He plans to choose one of the three generals, Zhu Neng, who is in the prime of life, and Qiu Fu, who is brave and good at fighting, are both good commanders.

Even if you don't send them, it won't be Li Jinglong's turn!

"Liu Chun, a military affair, not a child's play!"

Liu Chun smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister is not joking, it must be Li Jinglong to use troops against Annan." ”

Zhu Di frowned, and said angrily: "You can be clear." ”

Liu Chun smiled and asked people to take the map, the terrain of Annam is very interesting, in the north of Annam, the mountains and jungles are dense, and the terrain is very complex and dangerous.

If troops are sent from Guangxi and Yunnan, it will inevitably have to cross the rugged mountainous terrain, and there is no need to fight, and logistics alone can drag down the Ming army.

Therefore, the Central Plains Dynasty has always felt that Annan is very difficult to manage.

Since it is difficult to do, it is necessary to send elite soldiers and fierce generals, but once these elite soldiers and fierce generals are useless, they will inevitably rub their sharpness and find it difficult to conquer, so they will ignore it.

Liu Chun felt the need to jump out of this logical circle and think about the problem.

"Your Majesty, Li Jinglong is certainly not successful, but Annan is not a famous general, the two sides are lame donkeys, each other is just each other, maybe Li Jinglong is stronger than Annan."

Zhu Di almost couldn't hold back his laughter, you say this about your eldest brother, aren't you afraid of a ruckus at home?

Liu Chun didn't care at all, "The biggest obstacle to attacking Annan is the environment, the climate, and the terrain. The more His Majesty sends fierce generals, the more likely it is that problems will arise. After all, the generals of the court and the central government generally fought against the Mongols. Let them go to the north to lead the troops and command thousands of cavalry to charge and kill, there is nothing to worry about, and it is difficult to say if they put it in that ghost place in Annam. ”

Zhu Di closed his eyes and thought about it, and slowly spit out four words for a long time, "Adapt measures to local conditions!" ”

Liu Chun also replied with four words, "Avoid the real and attack the false." ”

Although Li Jinglong's ability is not good, he finally led the fleet to find Dongfan Island, sometimes luck is also a kind of strength, and the rest of the famous generals may not have his luck!

"Your Majesty, please see, to the north of Annam is a reckless and vast mountain, and the attack is very difficult. But the eastern part of Annam, near the sea, is both a grain-producing area and a populated area of Annam, and even better, there is no obstruction, but the sea is used as a barrier. With the current level of the Daming Naval Division, it is not difficult to attack across the sea and go straight to the heart of Annan. ”

……

Zhu Di and Liu Chun discussed for a long time and formulated a set of plans.

However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhu Di also thinks that he will play a good show.

The next morning, Zhu Di put on a straight face and said to the ministers: "I have just received a report from Guangxi, Annan has invaded my Ming border again, killed my people, and seized my territory, which is unbearable!" I want to raise a large army to crusade, and the military department and the five armies are all governors, and we must come up with a strategy as soon as possible and go out to fight in the future! ”

As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, the courtiers were shocked, and Jian Yi was the first to stand up, "Your Majesty, the three-year battle of Jingjing has moved the vitality of the Ming Dynasty, and now Your Majesty has only succeeded to the throne for more than a year. Although Annam is a small country, its people are fierce, the climate is hot, and the successive dynasties have repeatedly conquered, but the result is that it has rebelled and rebelled, and it is difficult to cure it repeatedly. ”

The old minister thought that he should send an envoy first, reprimanded Annan, and ordered them to retreat...... If you can't fight, you won't fight, this is the best policy. ”

After Jian Yi finished speaking, many people immediately stood up, and even Hubu Shangshu Yuxin couldn't sit still.

"Your Majesty, the current expenses are too great, the whole army of the DPRK and China has not been completed, and there is not much money available to the household department, please think twice before acting!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

A large number of courtiers knelt down, Zhu Di was so angry that his face turned pale, he glanced at Zhang Yu suddenly, and roared angrily: "What about the governor's mansion of your five armies? Do you see it that way, too? ”

Zhang Yu had a bitter face, it was not that he was afraid of war, but that the timing was indeed inappropriate.

"Your Majesty, do you think it is possible to dispatch Yunnan's soldiers and horses, they are familiar with the geographical environment, and it may be more appropriate to use Yunnan soldiers to deal with Annan!"

"Ridiculous!"

Zhu Di was angry, "What is the Yunnan soldier against Annan, it is obvious that you are greedy for pleasure and unwilling to endure hardship, so you shirk it in every possible way and hold back." ”

Zhang Yu immediately knelt down when he was said, "Your Majesty, the heart of the old minister, the sun and the moon can be learned, if Your Majesty really treats the old minister like this, the old minister is willing to die on the battlefield, I will lead the troops to Annam." ”

Zhu Neng on the side knew that Zhang Yu was not in good health and was getting old, so he hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, if you must conquer, the minister is willing to lead the troops!" ”

Zhu Di looked at them and snorted coldly: "Jun has no jokes, Annan disrespects the first emperor and kills the border people, he should have died a long time ago." Zhang Yu, you persuade me not to send troops, and I will send your son to lead the troops! Add Zhang Fudu Governor Tongzhi, command 50,000 horses, send troops to suppress Annan, no one should dissuade him, and disperse the dynasty! ”

Zhu Di snorted and left, throwing the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military capital in the Fengtian Temple. The civil officials talked a lot, sighing, the Son of Heaven is warlike, it's not a good thing!

Zhu Neng couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw that Zhang Yu was still kneeling, he picked up Zhang Yu and said in a low voice: "I'll go and ask for an order again, no matter what, I will also lead the troops to Annan, my nephew is still young, he, he will be my deputy." ”

Zhang Yu's face was full of sorrow, "Thank you Chengguo for speaking up." It's just that I think today's Your Majesty, it seems a little strange! "You must know that Zhu Di is very emotional, and rarely says too much to the heroes of Jingnan, especially Zhang Yu, who is the first time that the eldest girl has been in a sedan chair. Could it be that Zhu Di let the money burn his head? Shouldn't it?

Zhu Neng snorted coldly: "It's not just Your Majesty who is strange, that Liu Chun is also too hateful, he sees His Majesty scolding you, and laughs!" ”

Zhang Yu frowned, "Lord Liu smiled?" ”

"Am I going to talk nonsense?" Zhu Neng said hatefully: "I still think he is a kind person, but I didn't expect it to be so excessive, it's really hateful!" ”

Zhang Yu thought for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Chengguo Gong, Your Majesty and Lord Liu are both very shrewd, and the possibility of them making mistakes together is very small. If I'm not mistaken, there's an article here! ”

Zhu Neng was shocked, "Could it be that this is a plan?" ”

Zhang Yu pondered for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Let's not ask anything now, just listen to Your Majesty, don't spoil the big thing!" ”

In the end, he is a veteran and can hold steady.

In the days that followed, civil officials continued to write to Annan demanding that Annan be severely punished.

Newspapers in the capital also published articles, and the words were unprecedentedly strong.

At the same time, the forbidden army in the capital was mobilized, the men and horses of Yunnan and Guangxi were strengthened on guard, and thousands of people were carrying grain and military workshops, rushing to work day and night......

Truckloads of weapons and armor were constantly transported outside, and there were even many rain gears and damp-proof tents...... The war machine of the Ming Dynasty was quickly put into action.

"Sure enough, Emperor Ming is not a peaceful person!"

A thin and withered old man gritted his teeth and said that he was the spy sent to Daming by Annan, his father was a merchant in Quanzhou, and his mother was a local clan in Annan. He returned to Quanzhou several times, recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, made friends with officials and literati, and was very popular.

But no one knows that his real identity is a spy.

For a long time, Annan regarded the strong neighbor in the north as the biggest opponent, not to mention that during the Yuan Dynasty, there were three expeditions and almost annihilated Annan.

The pain of the heart is engraved in the heart.

Therefore, Annan was very concerned about the movements of the Ming Dynasty, so when Zhu Di overrode the public opinion and announced the dispatch of troops, as a spy, he was greatly panicked.

But when he heard that Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Yu, the Duke of Rongguo, to lead the troops, he couldn't help laughing again.

The 300,000 troops of the Yuan Dynasty are still helpless against Annan, are you still afraid of the 50,000 Ming army?

In the past, Annan lured the enemy into the depths, cleared the wilderness, and used guerrilla warfare to fight against the strong enemy, this time they decided to give the Ming a powerful one, concentrated 100,000 horses to the north, and completely wiped out Zhang Fu in the mountains! Let Daming know how powerful Annan is, if he can take advantage of the situation to capture Guangxi, Annan will make a lot of money.

The government and opposition in Annan are immersed in the fantasy of happiness, while the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty are worried, no matter who dissuades them, Zhu Di is not willing to listen at all, stubbornly like a stone.

"Father, the child will try to be careful, and the father can rest assured." Zhang Fu was full of confidence.

Looking at his son in his prime, Zhang Yu felt a little comforted.

"Kid, it's not good for dad to talk too much, anyway, this battle is very treacherous, you have to seize the timing."

Zhang Fu frowned slightly, seeing that his father wanted to speak and stopped, he could only nod and agree.

"Son, got it."

Zhang Fu led the men and horses, quickly left Beijing, and went straight to Annan...... Almost everyone was full of worries about the future of this team, and even blamed Zhu Di in private, getting carried away, arrogant, and casually starting the war, which would definitely end in a fiasco.

Only Zhu Di and Liu Chun knew it, and they could only say that their play was too successful and deceived everyone.

"Lord Qiyu, we have identified these people, and they are likely to be Annan's spies. There are no less than ten Ming officials who have dealings with them, and there are three of them who have been very close. Luo Feng reported the results of the investigation to Liu Chun.

"My lord, do you want to do it now?"

Liu Chun looked at the list and smiled slightly, "Annan has been in business for many years, and it is really not easy to install so many people. This time, you must catch them all, you wait for a while, there will be very important news soon, spread to the capital, and when the time comes, it will not be too late for you to do it. ”

Luo Feng was also stunned, what else could there be? What are you doing, sir?

Liu Chun smiled and said nothing, and five days passed, and suddenly, a horse flew in, and on the back of the knight, a small red flag was planted.

"Good news!"

"Good news!"

"Annan's victory!"

"Annan's victory!"

When the news reached the capital, everyone was stunned, Annan's victory? Could it be that Zhang Fu won the battle? Something is wrong, according to the calculation of time, Zhang Fu rushed to the border at most at the moment, could it be that Annan was about to collapse at the first touch? That's, isn't it?

Zhu Di received the good news, and finally smiled, "Xuan Qunchen went to Fengtian Palace, I have something to say!" ”

Not long after, the civil and military forces of the entire capital, except for Liu Chun, all arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have news for you, it is good news, great news!" Zhu Di paused, and then said slowly: "Li Jinglong, the Duke of Haiguo, led 3,000 troops to break through the Shenglong Mansion in Annan, and then captured Thanh Hoa, killing tens of thousands of enemies along the way and burning more than ten cities...... Li Jinglong's battle raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, and I am very pleased! Hahaha! ”

Zhu Di laughed loudly, but the ministers were stunned, Your Majesty, in broad daylight, don't talk in your dreams!

Just rely on Li Jinglong, can he do it?
