Hepu County.
Today is the day Zhu Biao leaves. On this day, Zhu Di, Li Jin, Fu Youde, Lan Yu, and Mu Ying all arrived at the port of Hepu County.
"Everyone, take care! May my Ming Dynasty and my military fortune be prosperous!!"
Zhu Biao bowed his hands to everyone, and then boarded the returning ship.
Nowadays, driven by Zhu Yuanzhang and all the ministers in the DPRK, the Ming Dynasty's shipping industry is booming.
Not only are the shipyards in Shanghu County popping up like mushrooms after a rain, there are also shipyards being built in Yingtian City and on the Japanese island.
After Zhu Yuanzhang saw the benefits of sea transportation, he greedily developed everything on the sea. Various measures that he had previously been financially constrained were quickly implemented after the sea was opened.
Although the country is still dominated by agriculture, recuperating and recuperating with the people, in coastal areas, there has been a craze for going to sea.
However, this was only limited to coastal areas. In order to allow the Ming Dynasty to safely implement the opening of the sea, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that people in inland areas were not allowed to immigrate to the sea for the time being, otherwise they would be sentenced.
But this has also allowed the Ming Dynasty's navigation industry to continue to move forward.
This time Zhu Biao returned to Beijing by sea and was personally escorted by the Marine Corps to avoid any accidents.
Seeing Zhu Biao drifting away, only Li Jin, Zhu Di, Fu Youde and Lan Yu were left on the field.
As for Mu Ying, she naturally followed Zhu Biao back to Beijing.
The 100,000 troops brought by Mu Ying returned to the capital by land.
While Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to return to Beijing, he also issued an imperial edict to Li Jin that he must complete the reform and return to his hometown within three years.
At the same time, Hepu County was assigned to the jurisdiction of the Annan Chief Envoy so that Li Jin could properly handle the government affairs in the southwest region.
After Li Jin received the imperial edict, he told Lan Yu and others his plan:
"Ying Guogong, you continue to lead your troops deep into the Shiwanda Mountains and the Yunnan-Guizhou region. Make sure these natives obey the imperial decree, come out of the mountains, and accept the imperial court's arrangements, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"Liang Guogong, you are in charge of Hepu County. If anyone dares to cause trouble in Hepu County, he will be beheaded immediately. No one will be allowed to disrupt the stability of Hepu County. This is related to the pockets of you and me in the future."
"As for you, follow the plan we discussed before. What's the problem?"
At the end of his speech, Li Jin turned to look at Zhu Di and asked.
Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said loudly:
"No problem, always at your disposal."
Seeing Li Jin and Zhu Di playing riddles, Lan Yu and Fu Youde looked at each other, not knowing what they were talking about.
Lan Yu asked directly:
"Master Li, what are you talking about? Do you need our help?"
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just a small matter, so I won't trouble you two princes."
Li Jin lightly rejected Lan Yu's request, and then said:
"Since you have nothing else to do, this matter has been settled. I hope that you and I will work together to govern the southwest."
"You know, the Annan Chief Envoy will also establish a chamber of commerce. By then, this will be a cornucopia for you and me."
"As long as the Annan Chief Envoy Department can run smoothly, I believe that within a few years, you and I will become wealthy businessmen with millions of dollars. What do you think?"
"We are willing to help you!!"
Fu Youde and Lan Yu looked extremely enthusiastic, with almost no hesitation, while Zhu Di was equally excited.
After the incident was over, several people started to separate.
Li Jin and Zhu Di began to secretly carry out their plan to destroy the country.
...
On October 1st, the sea areas of Annam and Champa were peaceful.
At the border between Annan and Champa, a group of Ming army soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the Champa soldiers.
Facing the menacing Ming army, the soldiers occupying the city looked confused. They didn't know why the Ming army went to war in such a big way.
When the generals of the occupying army arrived late, the Ming army immediately stepped forward to negotiate with the generals of the occupying army.
The person leading the Ming army this time was Sun Dapao. He confidently pointed at the nose of the general who occupied the city and said loudly:
"There is a deserter from Annan who has fled to your city. I ask you to open the border immediately and let us go in and search."
Faced with this request, the Champa general Jin Zhixun was confused on the spot. When would Annan deserters choose to flee to Champa?
You must know that Champa and Annan are national enemies and have always been incompatible. These people who dare to come to Champa are simply seeking death.
Jin Zhixun immediately denied it and accused Sun Dapao of slander. They would never accept Annan deserters.
Sun Dapao didn't listen at all, but forcefully asked Jin Zhixun to open the border defense, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Ming Dynasty and a provocation to Ming Dynasty.
Jin Zhixun was also very angry. As a soldier, he also had his own backbone. He flatly rejected Sun Dapao's request.
Sun Dapao was furious when he was rejected, but he did not get angry on the spot, but turned away angrily.
When Jin Zhixun saw Sun Dapao being tough on the outside but soft on the inside, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The Ming army really only knew how to bluff. Fortunately, he was not intimidated, otherwise he would be the one to be embarrassed.
But his rejoicing did not last long. Not long after this happened, an incident that shocked China and the world broke out in this humble place.
