Chapter 31 Annan is ready to make a move

Wang Zhen said: "The Holy Ming has no fault, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen said: "What happened? What did Annan do?"

Wang Zhen said: "Guangxi Inspector Zhu Jian reported that Annan accepted Qinzhou Huang Kuan's surrender, and Qidong of Qinzhou formally surrendered to Annan. Annan established Xin'an Prefecture in Qinzhou. Huang Kuan was ordered to be the administrator and guard the place for the rest of his life."

Zhu Qizhen was a little confused for a while.

What Qinzhou Qidong?

But Zhang Fu was extremely angry and said: "How dare you, rats."

Only then did Zhu Qizhen remember that there was an expert on Annan issues beside him. Zhu Qizhen immediately asked the others to go down, leaving Zhang Fu alone and said: "My lord, what is going on with Qidong in Qinzhou?"

Zhang Fu said: "This Qidong in Qinzhou was caused by the chaos caused by the imperial court when it withdrew from Annan. Qinzhou originally had Qidong, and it was a long-standing lawsuit during the Song and Yuan Dynasties. However, in this dynasty, when Marquis Deqing pacified Guangxi, it was because of this

Qidong, the land is remote and the people are small, so if the chief is dismissed from the lawsuit, they can only call him the chief of the cave."

"They were dissatisfied. After the dynasty withdrew from Annan, they colluded with Annan and rebelled. It was just that the court was unwilling to use soldiers, so it was up to him. But they never expected that they would dare to do this.

."

After Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately understood. But he was not too angry.

Because when he understood what kind of existence the chieftain was in the Ming Dynasty, he never regarded the chieftain's territory as the territory of the Ming Dynasty. So Huang Kuan's betrayal was nothing to him?

He had just read the memorial, Qinzhou Qidong, only more than 20 villages, more than 200 households, even if there are a lot of concealed reports, it is not much higher.

In later generations, it would not even have a population of one township.

Zhu Qizhen naturally didn't care.

He also didn't believe that the imperial court was under his control. This area was just a strategic buffer area with Annan. It was easy to pacify more than 20 villages, but it would be bad if it triggered a war with Annan.

Neither Annan nor Daming wanted to continue the fight.

Compared with the other party, what's the point of having thousands of people in Qidong, Qinzhou?

However, Annan broke the tacit understanding at this time, formally incorporated Qidong of Qinzhou into the system, and pushed the border a lot further north. Zhu Qizhen didn't know where the exact boundary between Ming Dynasty and Annan is now, maybe

It is already within the national borders of later generations.

"What are Annan going to do?" Zhu Qizhen said with a heavy expression.

Due to the great disaster in Gyeonggi Province, work-for-relief, and the Battle of Luchuan, the financial resources of the imperial court were already in a very dangerous situation. It really could not open another battlefield in the direction of Annan.

Zhang Fu said: "I think Annan is just testing me. If the court gives in, he will naturally push forward. But if the court refuses to give in, he doesn't dare to make any rash move."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then let Liu Pu enter Qinzhou?"

Zhang Fu said: "I thought that I should order other generals to march, or simply let the patrol commander lead a troop of troops, but Liu Pu must not be used. I am worried that Liu Pu will harm the state affairs with his selfishness."

When Zhang Fu said this, Zhu Qizhen immediately remembered that Liu Pu's father Liu Sheng died in the battle in Annan.

Now what the court wants is to scare Annan, prevent them from advancing even half a step, and at the same time maintain restraint. However, it is too cruel for a son to restrain himself in front of the enemy who killed his father.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Just follow the wishes of the Duke." Zhu Qizhen immediately approved the memorial, stamped it with his private seal, and asked Wang Zhen to send someone to hand it to the cabinet. He could not stop for a moment and processed it immediately.

Zhu Qizhen turned to Zhang Fu and said: "My lord, Annan is ready to make a move now. It's all because the war in Yunnan has never come to an end. If the time drags on too long, I'm worried that the nights will be long and there will be many dreams."

Zhang Fu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much about Annan. The imperial court has been fighting in Annan for more than 20 years. How can Annan recover quickly? In my opinion, even if Yunnan is defeated, Annan may not send troops to the north."

"Now he just wants to cause trouble to the court."

Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart and said: "I hope so. But there are already many people in the court who have impeached the Marquis of Baoding for holding back his troops and watching the success or failure of friendly forces."

Zhang Fu said: "Your Majesty, I think this is the best choice for Your Majesty to pick Meng Ying. Looking at the world, even if I pass, I may not be able to defeat Meng Ying."

"All your Majesty did was wait."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Waiting for the good news from the Marquis of Baoding."

In fact, Zhu Qizhen was not without thinking during the war in Yunnan. He thought about it and understood that he had already done everything he could do, and even if he helped with the rest, he would be beyond his reach.

On the contrary, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes.

Even with the advent of radio in later generations, Zhu Qizhen was deeply impressed by the Chairman's command. But in any case, the Chairman had fought in a war. But Zhu Qizhen had never fought in a war. Look at Meng again.

Ying's resume.

What is Zhu Qizhen worried about?

It’s just that you should worry, but you will still worry.

However, after hearing a few words from Zhang Fu, Zhu Qizhen calmed down.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Zhen asked Zhu Qizhen to return to the palace.

Zhu Qizhen will no longer stay.

Zhu Qizhen had just walked out of the room when he felt something rushing towards him, hitting Zhu Qizhen on the face with a "snap". Zhu Qizhen looked carefully and saw that it was a yellow-brown locust.

It seemed that this locust was also dizzy from the collision.

"Your Majesty," Wang Zhen and the guards around him immediately came to escort him.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "I am not that weak. I am too weak." Then he stepped on the locust and crushed it to death. But this locust was like a signal, and the buzzing sound was heard.

In Zhu Qizhen's ears, he saw large swaths of locusts, like dark clouds, falling on the school field in front of Zhu Qizhen.

The visibility suddenly dropped. As if they knew that Zhu Qizhen would trample their companions to death, many of them rushed towards Zhu Qizhen. The guards around Zhu Qizhen stepped forward one after another to fend off these locusts.

Zhu Qizhen was surrounded by people, and he got on the jade chariot involuntarily.

Even if you get on the jade chariot, you won't be able to live in peace.

Zhu Qizhen listened carefully to countless locusts hitting the jade chariot, making a thumping sound. It was like rain. In order to block the locusts, Wang Zhen blocked all the windows of the jade chariot.

But there were still locusts that had gotten in from nowhere, right in front of Zhu Qizhen, a pair of dead compound eyes seemed to be glaring at Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen felt like he couldn't breathe for a moment.

He seemed to see that wherever the locusts went, all the heaven and earth were emptied out, and the people gathered in crowds without harvesting anything. The food in various places in the Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and the government could not provide relief. As a result, everyone ate each other.

The more he thought about it, the more out of breath he became, and within a moment he was sweating profusely.

Many people expected the giant locust this year, but when the giant locust actually appeared in front of Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen still had no reason to believe it.

What he saw in front of him was not a palm-sized insect, but a demon, a demon that caused the death of countless people.

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, suddenly drew his sword in his hand, and stabbed the locust to death with one sword. Zhu Qizhen had been practicing martial arts since he came to the throne. Although he was not good at fighting with others, he laid a solid foundation and this sword was quite effective.

See the basics.

After Zhu Qizhen cut the locust into two pieces, he ordered: "Open the car door."

"Your Majesty, outside -------" Wang Zhen wanted to say something else.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Why don't you listen to me?"

Wang Zhen didn't dare to say anything and immediately opened the car door.

Zhu Qizhen stood at the door of the car.

The jade chariot is the carriage used by the emperor. It should have different specifications. There are thirty-two horses, sixteen horses, and other different specifications. The jade chariot used by Zhu Qizhen now is a small jade chariot with only eight horses. But even so, this carriage

It's bigger than the RVs of later generations.

Zhu Qizhen stood at the door of the carriage, but saw that the sky was dim, and countless tiny black spots rushed down like bombers and landed on the vegetation beside the road. In just a moment, these newly sprouted trees were eaten away.

.

Many more, like bullets, hit Zhu Qizhen's body. Even the guards around Zhu Qizhen did not dare to raise their heads and open their mouths, for fear that if they opened their mouths, they would swallow a locust.

Only Zhu Qizhen kept his eyes open.
