With the first batch of mountain barbarians coming down the mountain, there will be a second batch, the third batch, and their experience soon spread in this Lianzhou, everyone knows that the Marquis of Lianzhou will do what he says, not only gave the original promised land, but also has a lot of care, so there are more and more barbarian cottages down the mountain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In just half a month, the number of people who went down the mountain exceeded 100,000, and all of these people settled in Langshan, Wenshan and other seven counties, and now the counties actually controlled by Lianzhou are no longer the three in the past, there are as many as ten, but it is enough to accommodate these mountain barbarians, but the five county towns of Annan have not yet been recognized by the imperial court for the time being, and they need to be approved by the imperial court.

At the same time, the barbarians sent a person who interested Liu Chengfeng - Mr. Zhao.

Mr. Zhao was ordered by the king of Jingjiang to find the barbarians overnight, give them benefits, and try to sow discord, these barbarians are not fools, there must be doubts, after all, if there is chaos, the court will definitely be suppressed, and it is the surname of his own people who die, so the barbarians quarrel endlessly over this matter, but later, the barbarian notice was released, and another barbarian went down the mountain and received excellent hospitality, and the barbarians did not hesitate to tie up this Mr. Zhao and send it directly to Liu Chengfeng.

The resettlement work is in full swing, and the household registration must also be sorted out from scratch, in the past, the barbarians were not included in the household registration, on the one hand, the government was troublesome, on the other hand, the barbarians were unwilling to cooperate, and now taking advantage of this opportunity to divide the acres of land, the government naturally acted, but the servants were not enough, and had to recruit everywhere, only in just one month, the entire ten counties of Lianzhou, the population skyrocketed to more than 200,000, some of these are displaced people from other places, and some are barbarians who go down the mountain. I'm afraid that this number will increase to 400,000.

The construction of the Hou Mansion has gradually taken on a look, around the Hou Mansion, there have been a lot of shops rising from the ground, near the Hou Mansion, gradually lively, in fact, the whole Lianzhou, now has already changed a look, especially after the barbarians were completely subdued, a large number of Lianzhou people began to return to their hometowns from all over the country, and some businessmen also seized the opportunity and began to appear.

After that, Liu Chengfeng met the envoy of Annan, the envoy of Annan Li Yang was very respectful, almost obedient to Liu Chengfeng, in order to reach peace, almost agreed to all the conditions of Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng's conditions are actually simple, ceding the five counties of Annan, and rightfully included in the jurisdiction of Lianzhou Prefecture, this article, even if Liyang has the heart to oppose it is useless, just like Wenshan and Hefu, these five counties have been actually occupied by the Ming army, and the Vietnamese army can't take it back to recapture, and now all the energy is put on the south of the country, It is better to simply agree to Liu Chengfeng's conditions and make compromises for the time being.

The matter of peace was quickly reached, and Li Yang immediately went back to resume his life.

And in Yanjing City, when Liu Chengfeng's recital was handed over, followed by the arrival of good news, the entire Jingshi was shocked.

At the beginning, Liu Chengfeng wrote a book, saying that he wanted to 'teach' Annan, many people are still waiting to see the jokes, this guy should hit the wall, he doesn't know the height of the sky, relying on the emperor's favor, causing trouble everywhere, Annan is no better than others, people will not look at the emperor's face, how to clean you up and how to clean you up.

Some people also think that Liu Chengfeng is too obstinate, even if he has a secret will, he can't do anything to Annan without authorization, not that Annan is a vassal country, but that Annan has a strong army, Liu Chengfeng is a Lianzhou marquis, and he started a war against Vietnam without authorization, and in the end he must have asked the court to wipe his buttocks.

But when the good news came, those who watched the joke were stunned, and at this time they had to admire Liu Chengfeng a little, this guy, 7,000 people actually went deep into the border and beat the Annan people to the ground, I thought that this Liu Chengfeng was boasting, but the governor of Guangxi also came up to play a book, confirming the matter. This time, the government and the opposition are even more in an uproar, this person is really impressive.

On the day the book was handed over, Li Dongyang was edicted into the palace, although Li Dongyang entered the cabinet, but the position of the Ministry of Rites has been held by him, Zhu Youzhu has always attached great importance to the candidates of the six departments, and there has been no suitable candidate for this Ministry of Rites, so he gave up, and let Li Dongyang have the surname of Suo, anyway, Li Dongyang is the youngest in the cabinet, and his body is still strong, so he is busy.

This time Zhu Youzhu did not see Li Dongyang in the Zhengxin Palace, but chose the Wuying Palace, the Wuying Hall seemed very empty, Zhu Youzhu sat alone behind the case, buried his head and began to review something, and when Li Dongyang entered the meeting, he immediately cheered up and said straightforwardly: "The national letter of Annan has been handed over, has Li Aiqing read it?" ”

Annanguo's credentials were indeed delivered, but instead of asking for guilt, he respectfully asked for guilt in a posture that he had never seen before, and after telling his crimes, he asked for the five counties to be ceded and assigned to Lianzhou.

The reason why this letter of state, Li Dongyang sent it last night, Li Dongyang can almost recite it, the reason why it is so impressive, is because Annan has never submitted the letter to the court in such a low-profile tone, and is the head of the Ministry of Rites, Li Dongyang has long been familiar with the routines of the Annan people, their king is a rebellion, and the Ming army has been around for more than ten years, and finally the Ming Dynasty has no choice but to choose to let him become the king of Yue, from the heart, these Annan people look down on the Ming Dynasty a little, although they are called ministers in the court, but they have always been not convinced, so the Ministry of Rites also has a headache for the Annan people, and it is the first time to submit the credentials so respectfully.

Li Dongyang thought of the words used in the national letter, and couldn't help but smile, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has read it." ”

Zhu Youzhu put down the pen, smiled on his chin, and said, "What do you think of Li Aiqing?" ”

This is to ask Li Dongyang, whether this credential should be approved, logically speaking, people come to deliver credentials, and they have to cede land, and it is a bit stupid not to agree. However, what Zhu Youzhu is considering is of course not the land of this city and a pond, especially the land of Annan, for him, it is simply a barren land, and there is no difference between wanting it and not asking for it. Besides, after agreeing, there will definitely be a certain negative impact, there are many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming army suddenly invaded Annam, and the credentials submitted by Annan will inevitably be suspected of coercion in the eyes of others, which is not a good thing for the reputation of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Youzhu must not be cautious in his attitude towards this matter.

And Li Dongyang obviously knew Zhu Youjiao's concerns, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this national letter is reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it, it is better to be accurate." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhu stared at Li Dongyang, knowing that Li Dongyang still had something to say, so he just asked a question lightly and stopped talking.

Li Dongyang continued: "Annan's attitude towards the Ming Dynasty has always been not very respectful, in fact, this matter is known to the world, but the imperial court blindly tolerates and compromises, which has made many people beat their chests and stumble, after all, the Ming Dynasty is the upper state of the Celestial Empire, and there is nothing wrong with treating the vassal state with kindness, but the vassal state is arrogant, and it has repeatedly collided with the state, and it is okay to teach a lesson occasionally." This time, the Marquis of Lianzhou entered Annan, which was to teach the people of Annan a lesson, and now they are planning to approve their national credentials and place the five counties of Annan within the territory of our Ming Dynasty, which is also a lesson for them, so that the vassal states can know how powerful. ”

"This is secondly, the south of the country is also my Ming vassal state, a few years ago the Yue people repeatedly invaded the south of the country, killing people, the south of the country repeatedly sent envoys to ask the court to preside over justice, and although the court sent envoys to Annam to mediate, but the king of Yue is still bent on going his own way, the Ming court, has already made the south palm and the surrounding countries cold, now take the opportunity to knock on Annam, but also let the world's vassal states know that the heavenly state is not easy to bully, if someone does not accept the king, insist on going his own way, the Ming will never sit idly by."

Zhu Youzhu nodded again and again, feeling that what Li Dongyang said was not wrong, this Annan Kingdom was the king and hegemon in the south, which had already made many vassal states tremble, and Liu Chengfeng's matter, although it was a little impulsive, did give the Ming court a little face.

To put it bluntly, in fact, this Annan country is too suspicious, not only the Ming Dynasty dislikes him, but the rest of the neighboring countries also have a grudge against him, and a slap in the face of Annan is equivalent to giving Nanzhang and other countries a sweet date, which is not a violation of the tributary policy of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly and said, "Then, this Liu Chengfeng did the right thing, this guy, the last time he went to the book, he was still too young, and he didn't care about the consequences." But ......" Zhu Youzhu smiled even more, and continued: "But he also has some ability, and with 7,000 people, in exchange for such a great victory, it is not in vain that I love him." Li Aiqing thinks that I should reward him with something? ”

Li Dongyang's face tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you can't reward it." ”

"Oh? Why is that? Zhu Youzhu pressed his eyebrows.

Li Dongyang explained: "Has Your Majesty noticed that no one in the government and the opposition seems to have made any suggestions on the matter of Annan. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded his head, when the good news came, the court was surprisingly silent, neither anyone played the crown to celebrate, nor did anyone write a letter to impeach, which was very unsatisfactory with the surname of the officials of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and if they did other things, even if it was a little thing, these people would have already gone to the house to uncover the tiles, and now the surprisingly consistent silence is indeed very strange.

Li Dongyang explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, the reason why this is so is because Annan is too hated, over the years, the ministers of this court, there are many people who have been angry with them, other vassal countries, pay tribute once a year, they pay tribute three times, and even shamelessly ask for rewards, what is even more odious is that they actually invaded the land of my Ming Dynasty and refused to return it. It's just that Annan is my Ming vassal after all, Liu Chengfeng sent troops to Annan, which is unreasonable, if the ministers celebrate with their crowns, it will inevitably make people mistakenly think that the Ming Dynasty has reversed itself, and it is even more contrary to the teachings of the saints. But if they oppose it, the civil and military officials really can't oppose anything, and the big guys are happy, but they can only hold on, otherwise they will be morally at a loss
