In the palace, Xu Hao hugged the unwilling Princess Annan and said softly: "Isn't this all for the ancestors of your Chen family?" If you marry him, give birth to a child, and inherit the throne, then you can stay here at that time, or go back to the Central Plains with me, and you can be regarded as having an explanation to your subjects. ”

Chen Yu hurriedly said: "But I have to go through the night of candles in the cave room, once I lose myself with him, can you still want me?" ”

"Alas!" Xu Hao covered his head in pain and said dejectedly: "I shouldn't have liked you, I would have stayed away from you if I knew it." No, I can't stand you being insulted by any man, this discussion is stopped, this discussion is stopped. ”

Chen Yu grew up in the deep palace in the end, not a simple woman who didn't know the world, looked at him with a complicated expression, and sighed: "You don't have to act in front of me, you just treat me as a plaything, don't waste your efforts." I, Chen Yu, do what I say, since I lost my life to you, it is my life, and I will never steal people behind your back. ”

Chen Yu, who got up slowly, gently stroked the flat and smooth lower abdomen, felt the little life born in the abdomen, and said: "The child is your blood and bones, since ancient times, the tiger poison does not eat children, you can be unrighteous to me, you should not be ruthless to the child." I swear that as long as I live, I will never allow you to use my mother and son to harm the people. ”

Xu Hao said angrily: "My heart is only heavenly, what good will it do me to support your mother and son to continue the Chen family's bloodline?" With hundreds of thousands of troops in my hands, the small country of Annan can be wiped out in a snap of a finger, and it is a big deal to kill all the men, and I am afraid that someone will rebel in my lifetime? What a joke. ”

These words can be regarded as awe-inspiring and murderous! Combined with his status and track record. Chen Yu couldn't help but be convinced, the more he understood the man in front of him, the more he could be shocked by his weight in the Celestial Empire, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was important.

Xu Hao said coldly: "Xu's life ambition is to protect the family and defend the country, as long as I can ensure that the people of Daming live and work in peace and contentment, and the four seas are peaceful, I can do anything." But you really think wrong, it's really because of your charm that you're close to, and now you're also putting yourself in the shoes of your mother and son, otherwise you can be forcibly accepted as a concubine directly. Appoint a son to succeed him. Then who dares to disagree with Annan? I only hope that the two countries can stop fighting each other and not break out into war because of external factors, of course, provided that Annam must submit to our Ming Dynasty and remain a vassal for generations. ”

After all that is said. Xu Hao endured the disgusting romance and numbness. Gray turned and strode away.

Not to mention that the Annamites began to happily prepare for the princess's wedding. That night, Chen Yu's eyes were cold, staring at the princess Hu Ying, who was lying on the couch and died silently.

Among Hu Ying's henchmen, Chen Yuanzhi stood aside. Gong said: "This is a poison treasured by the royal family, which can kill people in an instant, without any pain, and the cause cannot be found out afterwards, and it can be claimed that he has died of a sudden illness." ”

Chen Yu said coldly: "Her father killed my whole clan, so it is cheaper for her to die like this." In order for my mother and son to be safe, I must be protected by Daming, Xu Hao uses me and I use him, so I have to keep his chastity for at least ten years and wait until the child grows up. ”

"Yes!" Chen Yuanzhi put away the jade bottle in his hand, "Your Highness rest assured, after getting married, you will sleep separately on the grounds of menstruation, and send the groom back to heaven three days later, when Your Highness will live in the palace, and you can postpone the birth of the prince for a month." ”

Chen Yu suddenly shook his head and said, "No, what if it's a daughter in my life?" I can't marry anyone else, can I? ”

"This." Chen Yuanzhi secretly wiped the princess's expression, thought about it and said: "Then use the drug to make Chen Ji mistakenly think that he has a skin-to-skin relationship with the princess, and then send him to Daming as much as possible, and bother Xu Dudu to send someone to imprison him, once she gives birth to a daughter, then the princess can go north under the pretext of looking for a husband." ”

The corners of Chen Yu's mouth immediately showed a slight smile, and then he said hatefully: "Xu Hao has raped me, I can't let him get better, and when I go to the capital of Daming, I have to make his house restless, so that I can relieve the hatred in my humiliated heart, hum!" ”

At this time, Xu Hao set off to Xianziguan, and the heavy rain caused some of the gunpowder to be damp, and the bad weather inevitably made the soldiers unaccustomed to the water and soil, and there were injuries and illnesses every day.

However, the Hu family and his son had also reached the point of exhaustion, and every day soldiers fled to Chengcheng, and the three-storey camp built allowed the soldiers to keep their bodies dry, and sufficient food and grass to ensure morale, and the balance of strength between the two armies underwent an astonishing reversal.

Now the total strength of the Ming army has reached a full 500,000 people, this number is still jumping sharply every day, and the Hu father and son from the beginning of the whole army, the total strength of more than 2 million people has been sharply reduced to a pitiful less than 80,000, the main force is either killed in battle or fled, now it is the season of farming, and there are more people running.

In order to lure the snake out of the hole, Zhang Fu, who was unable to enter the army due to the rainy season, formulated a plan to show that the enemy was weak, and a large number of soldiers in the camp were transported to the rear by carriages and stretchers due to various reasons such as illness every day, and the Annan army was divided into pieces and sent to various transportation arteries, while the 50,000 people who stayed behind could not eat enough every day, and they were dissatisfied.

Xu Hao instigated local celebrities with great prestige to go to the enemy camp to deceive people, and announced that the princess was about to marry a descendant of the Chen family, and that the great emperor kept his promise that once the Hu father and son were arrested, the army would immediately withdraw from Annam.

On 30 March, after Hu Jichen learned the news that the Ming army seemed to be strong and weak, he could not wait to order an amphibious general attack on Xianzi Pass.

Hu Yuancheng and Hu Du were appointed as commanders of the infantry army, Hu Jie and Chen Ting led the infantry on the south bank, and Du Renjian and Chen Kezhuang led the infantry on the north bank; Du Man and Hu Wen were the commanders of the navy, Chen Gongzheng led 100 warships as the vanguard, and the total number of officers and soldiers on the waterway was 70,000, and it was claimed that there were 210,000 to the outside world.

General Hu Jie had already heard that the Ming army was in ambush and did not want to rush into the army, but at the urging of his superiors, he had to march, but was fiercely blocked by 10,000 musketeers, and fled in defeat.

On the turbulent river, rows of Annan soldiers turned against each other and calmly walked into the water to commit suicide, and the officers and men of the navy frantically dug holes in the warship, and almost all the people on the boat drowned.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty looked at this tragic scene in amazement, and couldn't help but look at each other. Zhang Fu took the opportunity to sigh: "The people of Annam regard death as if they were returning here, which shows that setting up counties is not a long-term solution. ”

Xu Hao was also very surprised, no wonder Vietnam dared to challenge the world's big countries so rampantly in later generations, it does have the capital not to be afraid of death, once it is publicized, even the old and weak women and children can become killers.

As a result, there was no need to fight, the 70,000 troops had been annihilated, the generals Hu Jie and Du Renjian were killed, Chen Rizhao, Ruan Feiqing, Ruan Jin, Du Man and other officials surrendered, and Wu Fu and Qiao Biao committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water. Hu Jichen's father and son and Prime Minister Hu Yuancheng fled in a hurry.

April. After the opposition of Zhang Fu and other front-line generals, Zhu Gaochi listened to the advice and issued a decree to crown Chen Ji as the regent of Annan and Chen Yu as the princess of Nanming. Simply set as prime minister. The officials and squires who surrendered were rewarded.

The news is out. The whole country of Annam was boiling, and people from all over the country rushed to thank the Ming army with wine and meat, and took the initiative to lead the way to Thanh Hoa. Along the way, the defenders of Annam collapsed without a fight, and in turn joined the Ming army and drove straight in.

Hu Jichen's father and son betrayed their relatives and wanted to flee to Shenjiang, but there were soldiers and civilians everywhere who arrested them, but to no avail.

In desperation, the minister Wei Yan persuaded Hu Jichen to self-immolate to avoid being captured and humiliated, and Hu Jichen was furious and swung his sword to kill him.

On 5 May, General Nguyen Da led the Ming army to attack the Qiluo Haikou in Rinan Prefecture, and Hu Jipi, the right prime minister, and his son Hu Yuanqi were captured.

On the 11th, Zhang Fu led the army to attack the Yongning Guard, Wang Chai Hu and other seven people captured Hu Jichen who was disguised as a civilian at Zhizhitan, and Li Bao and other ten people of the Jiaozhou Right Guard Army captured Hu Hancang and the prince Hu Rui at Qiluo Haikou, and the accompanying ministers and generals such as Hu Du, Fan Liucai, and Ruan Yanguang were all captured, and the war against Annan, which lasted for more than half a year, was declared over.

In the barracks, the former high-ranking officials of the royal family were reduced to prisoners, countless people of Annam came to see the excitement, and the Ming army dragged a long string of prisoners tied with straw ropes and walked over triumphantly.

Xu Hao looked at Hu Jichen, who had a wolf face in front of him, and ordered: "Don't be rude, let them loose." ”

Hu Jichen sighed: "The king has nothing to say, I just want to enter Beijing to see the Son of Heaven and state our grievances." ”

Xu Hao respected him as a personal masterpiece, and said gently: "What you say is not right or not, in short, the following crimes to destroy the Chen clan can be called the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, and there is no reason to be invincible if you lose the hearts of the people?" ”

Let people entertain these captives, at this time Mu Sheng came over and said indignantly: "Holy benevolence, I guarantee that none of them can die, but we have died so many brothers, and we haven't even got an inch of land, are we working hard just to make wedding dresses for others?" ”

Xu Hao faced his eldest brother and said with a smile: "Big brother is angry!" In order to make up for the consumption of this troop and reward the whole army, and to compensate the brothers who died in battle, they must also compensate at least one million taels of silver or the equivalent of rice. ”

Mu Sheng said in surprise: "Is this true? There is no precedent since ancient times, and the ministers of the DPRK and China will agree to you being so careful about money? Don't you know that it will damage the majesty of our dynasty? ”

"Then I don't care." Xu Hao said leisurely: "If you don't agree, let the ministers pay their own money to offset the loss of the treasury, and there is no reason to use the people's fat and people's ointment to play prestige for them, who is not concerned about money?" Why don't you care about the money in the treasury, the disgusting thing of the big head Kaizi, as long as I Xu Hao lives for a day, don't count on it. ”

Mu Sheng looked his brother-in-law up and down again, reached out and patted Xu Hao's shoulder vigorously, and laughed: "Yes!" You kid really dare to act and be a good man. Think about how many lawsuits I have with those big men in the household department every year? asked for some silver and begged grandpa to tell grandma, and racked his brains in order to build water conservancy and reclaim more wasteland. It's better for them to come to an envoy group and throw money outside, in the end, the people are more important or the outsiders are more important? Lao Tzu has already held his breath. By the way, what is going on with those Jurchens in Liaodong, they rushed to the capital in groups to ask for rewards, like a group of people called Huazi, you have to remember that the hearts of non-our race will be different, and be careful to raise tigers. ”

"Yes! Beware of raising tigers. Xu Hao muttered to himself, when the South Seas are solved, it is time to turn his eyes to the north.

Subsequently, Xu Hao intervened in military affairs for the first time, vetoing the mention of sending people to escort the captives by land, and sent them to Jinling by sea instead.

However, the seal letter of the Annan Kingdom and other important things were led by the governor Liu Sheng, the general Lu Lin of Henghai, the general Zhang Sheng, the commander of Yu Rang, the commander of Liang Ding, and the commander of Shen Zhi, who led 5,000 soldiers to escort Chen Ji, the regent of Annan, and others, to meet the son of tomorrow by land, and to sacrifice prisoners outside the noon gate.

Xu Hao hurried up the time to dig three feet into the ground in Nan'an, and looted all the grain, gold and silver, including more than 10 million stones of rice alone.

In August, there was bad news, Hu Jichen, the king of Annan, Hu Hancang, Hu Yuancheng, the prince's brother, Hu Yuancheng, the prince's brother, Hu Rui, the prince, Hu Rong, the prince Hu Fan and his son Wulang, and the right minister of the prince, Hu Jipi and his son Hu Yuanjiao.

Four people including Hu Lu and Hu Jun of the clan, Hu Du of the ministers Dongshan Qing, Ruan Yanguang and Li Jingqi, generals Chen Tangmeng, Zhonglang General Fan Liucai, etc., and more than 500 family members of the palace unfortunately encountered a strong wind, and the ship sank and all buried at the bottom of the sea.

When the news came, Chen Yu stared at Xu Hao, who was light and breezy, and said in disbelief: "You are so ruthless. ”

Xu Hao smiled brightly at her, "This is a gift for my son, the blood feud of his mother's family cannot be avenged, this is also the bottom line of Xu's life, and I will pay back my relatives a hundred times if I hurt them." ”

After speaking, Xu Hao walked forward, stopped and glanced back, and said with a smile: "By the way, this sentence is also valid for some relatives who try to kill each other." ”

This sentence suddenly made Chen Yu feel chills all over his body, and he only felt that the man's smile was extremely terrifying! (To be continued......)
