"Chen Yuandan is dead?"
At the fourth watch of the day, Chang Sheng finally stepped into the former Annan Chen Dynasty Palace in Daluo City under the escort of his own officers and soldiers after the army completely wiped out the defenders of Daluo City in the north city.
The first contribution belongs to the emperor's grandson.
The credit for destroying and occupying Daluo City belongs to Chang Sheng, the general of the Ming Dynasty who conquered the south.
Enter Daluo City from the Corpse Mountain under the North City Gate.
On the way to the palace, Chang Sheng thought of countless scenarios in which he would face Situ Chen Yuandan in Daluo City, who had been kidnapped by the king and was defending Annan alone.
Perhaps Chen Yuandan would angrily rebuke himself and Ming Dynasty for his unjust actions.
Or, Chen Yuandan would ridicule himself for using more to defeat less, relying on the strong to bully the weak.
Or, Chen Yuandan would become lonely and lonely because of the defeat and loss of the city.
But he did not expect that Chen Yuandan would kill himself outside the palace after killing all the remaining Annan civil and military officials in Daluo City.
Zhu Gaochi bent over, lowered his head and clasped his hands. Hearing the general's murmur, he cautiously raised his head and glanced at him.
At this moment, Chang Sheng's face was ashen, and an invisible anger was being suppressed by him.
Zhu Gaochi pointed to the remaining pool of blood belonging to Chen Yuandan in front of the platform outside the hall.
"My subordinates led the troops into the city and rushed into the palace to look for Chen Yuandan."
"At the gate of the palace, I saw Chen Yuandan slaughtering civil and military officials in the palace. When his personal guards saw our troops arriving, they threw down their helmets and armor."
Chang Sheng's brows trembled slightly. He couldn't bear to look away from the blood stains left by Chen Yuandan, and turned to look at the dark palace, as if he was describing the scene at that time.
"What happened next? What did Chen Yuandan do?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Then Chen Yuandan left the palace and arrived here, accompanied by his subordinates. He wanted to persuade him to surrender, and even hinted to him that I, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could grant him the title of Ming Dynasty and enjoy the wealth and honor he deserves."
Chang Sheng sighed and shook his head: "He didn't listen, so he killed himself with a knife here? Did you say anything?"
Zhu Gaochi whispered: "It was here that he committed suicide. With a knife in his heart, Chen Yuandan told his subordinates that he hoped the Ming Dynasty would be kind to the people of Jiaozhi Road."
Chang Sheng closed his eyes silently and sighed.
It seems that he is lamenting for Chen Yuandan, who killed himself with a knife for Annan.
Zhu Gaochi glanced outside the palace. The sound of fighting in the city was still coming one after another, but it was much quieter than when the city was broken.
Thinking about it, by the time dawn breaks, the rebellion in Daluo City will be completely eliminated.
Chang Sheng suddenly asked at this time: "Where are the remains of Mr. Chen?"
Zhu Gaochi was shocked and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates saw the constant fighting in the city, so they ordered people to escort Chen Gong's body outside the city. It is currently being parked in the military headquarters camp."
Chang Sheng's tense expression finally softened a little, and he looked at Zhu Gaochi with satisfaction: "Well done. People with lofty ideals should be treated well no matter where they belong."
Zhu Gaochi nodded silently, thought for a while, and then said: "When Mr. Chen was dying, he said that there were powerful and gentry people from Daluo City in Dongcheng who were wealthy and small, and seemed to be waiting for Mr. Chen to order a breakout."
Chang Sheng hummed, waved his sleeves and put his sleeves behind his back: "How did you do it?"….
"My subordinates sent orders to the officers and men of the Supervisory Military Department to go to Dongcheng to confiscate family property and apprehend the criminal Guan Jiaxiao."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi paused again, and then said: "Should the gold and silver here be transported to the general's army?"
Chang Sheng looked calmly at Zhu Gaochi, who was standing in front of him with his head lowered, with a smile on his face.
"The city of Daluo has been destroyed and Annan has been destroyed."
"The gold and silver confiscated tonight will be distributed to the lieutenants, generals, and soldiers in recognition of their military merits."
Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips and raised his head. Just after taking a look, he saw Chang Sheng staring at him dimly, so he immediately lowered his head again, clasped his hands and said, "I accept your orders."
Chang Sheng waved his hand: "Go find your grandson and tell him about this."
he. I am tired today and cannot go to my grandson, so I will rest here for the night. "
Zhu Gaochi looked at Chang Sheng, who had his back turned to him, bowed silently, and then led Taisun's officers and soldiers away from the palace, leaving the palace to Chang Sheng alone.
After coming out of the palace, Zhu Gaochi rushed back in the direction of Nancheng.
In his head, he was thinking about Chang Sheng's last words.
It was obvious that Chang Sheng was looking for fault for himself.
He secretly divided the city of Daluo among the officers and soldiers of the army, and had to stay in the palace for one night.
This is to actively throw out a handle to Yingtian.
With the army out, wealth and silk calm people's hearts, and sharing the spoils privately is common. It is not a big mistake. At most, it is just a few words of reprimand from the emperors.
On the contrary, Chang Sheng wanted to stay in Annan's palace tonight. This was a very serious mistake.
Although Annan was nominally a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in the past, the country's leader only dared to call himself king, not emperor, in front of the Ming Dynasty.
But this is also the place where the lord of a country, the lord of a country, sleeps.
Chang Sheng should have been looking for a place to rest in the city instead of in the palace. To do so now is to overstep his bounds.
He wanted to make all the credit for his conquest of Annan equal to the demerit.
Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh and looked at the Nancheng wall that was already in front of him and was reduced to rubble under his own artillery fire.
On the city wall, two figures were sitting on the edge of the broken and collapsed city wall.
Two feet were hanging in the air, swinging back and forth.
On the city wall, officers and soldiers were carrying and sorting out the corpses of the enemy and ourselves, and rescuing and transporting the wounded.
All the wounded were transported outside the city and sent to the camp outside the south city.
No one has been able to clean up the collapsed city walls for the time being.
Zhu Gaochi climbed up the waste with his legs and raised his head to look at Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Shangbing who were sitting at the break of the city wall.
"The general has said that he will give the rewards gained from Daluo City tonight to the soldiers."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Just follow the general's order."
Zhu Gaochi nodded. After hesitating for a while, he hesitated and said, "The general also said that he is tired now and will rest in the palace tonight."
At this time, Zhu Yunxi finally stopped talking with Zhu Shangbing and looked back at Zhu Gaochi who was standing on the ruins with a solemn gaze.
Even Zhu Shangbing, who was still bragging that he fell off the city wall and didn't die, and even rushed into the city with his cavalry and rode his horse up the city wall, couldn't help but frown when he heard Zhu Gaochi's words. He frowned at the other person. ….
Zhu Yunxi took a deep breath: "Did the general say this himself?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded: "The general said it in front of me."
A gasp came out.
Zhu Shangbing turned to look at Zhu Yunxi beside him, and whispered: "The general is going to be impeached and killed by the censors in the court."
Zhu Gaochi was about to speak.
But he was interrupted by Zhu Yunxi's wave, and his face had returned to calm at this moment.
He looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing and said softly: "The general commands the southern expedition army and is the commander-in-chief of the first army."
This has been made very clear.
Chang Sheng is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition Army and the highest-ranking Ming Dynasty official here.
Although for various reasons, they now collectively refer to Annan as Jiaozhi Road, in fact, the imperial court did not establish the Third Division of Jiaozhi Road. Even Thanh Hoa Prefecture did so in response to the current situation.
Therefore, what Chang Sheng said on Jiaozhi Road was the highest decision.
Zhu Shangbing, who was sitting on the ruined wall, hummed twice: "You should be a general like a great general."
Zhu Gaochi glared at him, and after careful consideration, he frowned and whispered, "Surely Seventeenth Uncle is going to be canonized as the Grand Governor of Qinghua?"
Zhu Yunxi looked back at the city.
Now, it's past the fifth watch, and the sky gradually has a chaotic luster.
He said quietly: "Jiaozhi Road is extremely important. Without the clan to guard it, it is not stable."
Zhu Gaochi frowned: "Uncle Seventeen has been canonized as Prince Ning, aren't you worried about whether he is willing to do this?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and pointed at a line of cavalry approaching outside the city wall.
"Isn't Uncle Seventeen already here?"
…
"You have tricked my second brother, and now you are tricking me again? Who are you going to trick next?"
In the early spring of Thanh Hoa City, rice seedlings are once again green, traffic is everywhere, and people live and work in peace and contentment.
On the city wall near the Majiang River, Zhu Quan, who took off his military uniform and put on the regular uniform of the Ming Dynasty Prince, glanced at the large pier on the river in the distance that was changing day by day, and then looked back at Zhu Yunxi, who was wearing a t-shirt next to him.
Zhu Yunxi looked embarrassed, took two steps back and bowed: "Jiaozhi Road has been established. Although three divisions have been established, it is still a newly conquered place. If the post of governor is established and the clan is in charge, the government orders can be smooth and the top and bottom can work together and not shout. The grass changes, but the people's hearts will not change."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi raised his head and looked at his seventeenth uncle Zhu Quan, who looked gloomy.
This seventeenth uncle was similar in age to him, and he was extremely handsome. Although he was the same age, he already had the power of a vassal king.
Look at Zhu Quan's dissatisfied eyes.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said: "The seventeenth uncle controls Daning, it is better to control Qinghua. Besides, my nephew has never cheated the second uncle. The second uncle is now in the capital to supervise the land tax envoys in the six roads, and the emperor reuses him. The seventeenth uncle goes In Daning, with the fourth uncle in front, how could the seventeenth uncle establish his merits? But in Jiaozhi Road, it was the seventeenth uncle who made great achievements and stood out."
Zhu Quan hummed twice: "In that case, I still have to thank you?"
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Zhu Yunxi smiled dryly and declined twice.
Zhu Quan hummed and slapped his hand on the city wall.
"All the dozens of meritorious generals in the capital have exchanged their land for property in Jiaozhi Road. Now that the general has led his troops to continue the march south and west, you want me to be the governor of Jiaozhi, so you want me to watch over these meritorious generals for you."….
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.
More than half a year has passed since the great defeat of Daluo City last year, and now it is the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.
For more than half a year, almost the entire Jiaozhi Road was occupied.
Chen Qiong, the envoy of Daoping Town in Jiaozhi, was also busy for more than half a year, confiscating and confiscating all the remaining dignitaries and gentry in the land occupied by the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Yangzhi, the prefect of Thanh Hoa Prefecture and the chief envoy to Cochin Province, Si Zuo, also quickly promoted the allocation of land, resettled the people, and prospered merchants and freight.
After Daluo City, the imperial court's arrangements for the southern expedition army were very unexpected.
The establishment of Jiaozhi Road was expected, but it was unexpected that Gao Yangzhi, the number one scholar in Enke Sanding in the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, also served as the chief envoy of Jiaozhi Road.
The young scholar was first awarded a bachelor's degree in the Hanlin Academy and was granted the title of magistrate of Qinghua Prefecture. Within a year, he was concurrently appointed as the chief envoy. It can be expected that this concurrent post will be taken away soon.
The youngest chief envoy of the country caused a wave of tacit understanding in the court.
The establishment of the Qinghua Governor also shocked everyone.
Although King Ning Zhu Quan's title of princely title has not been changed yet, Zhu Quan, who has now officially served as the governor of Qinghua, thinks that his title of princely title will be changed soon.
As for Chang Sheng, the founding father and the general who conquered the south, who secretly divided the spoils and slept in the palace of Daluocheng for one night.
He was given a gentle warning by the court.
Chang Sheng was deprived of administrative power in Jiaozhi Road and only had military command power.
The military exploits in the conquest of Jiaozhi Road were equal to the merits and demerits, so he was retained as the general to conquer the south and continued to conquer the south for the country.
Wen was headed by the Chief Envoy Gao Yangzhi, and Wu was headed by the founding Duke Chang Sheng.
Zhu Quan, the governor of Qinghua, controlled and balanced the civil and military affairs of Jiaozhi Road.
These are all the top-level arrangements Zhu Yunxi made for this newly conquered land in the south before returning to Beijing.
And use Zhu Quan to check and balance the big people who have replaced their land and come to Jiaozhi Road.
Mingxungui is also the meaning of the title.
See Zhu Quan reveal this meaning.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Uncle Seventeen last year was the general of the forward battalion. He must be the first in every battle. This is obvious to all the distinguished generals in the army. With Uncle Seventeen here, I think the people of Jiaozhi Road will live a better life." Some."
Zhu Quan hummed twice and was about to speak.
But I saw a group of people coming up under the city wall.
It was Gao Yangzhi, the magistrate of Thanh Hoa Prefecture and the Chief Envoy of Cochin, who also served as Chief Envoy, arriving with officials from the Third Department of Cochin Road.
Even though you can see young faces every day in Thanh Hoa City, you can see them every day, such as the Chief Envoy, the Procuratorate, the Capital Commander, the Jiaozhi Academic Officer, etc., but every time we meet again, Zhu Quandu sighed in his heart.
So young!
Among this group of people, the eldest one is Chen Qiong, who just came back from Shenglong Mansion yesterday.
Not long after Thang Long Mansion was recaptured by Chang Sheng, Li Ji Sou was killed in front of the battle. Chen Hao and all the former Annan Chen Dynasty royal family members were all missing.
Chen Qiong went to pacify Shenglong Mansion.
That is to say, to kill people.
I heard early in the morning that my grandson was going back to Beijing today, so I hurried over slowly and hurriedly.
Under the leadership of Gao Yangzhi, everyone walked up the city wall.
"I have met the great grandson and the great governor."….
Zhu Yunxi looked back at Zhu Quan, then waved to everyone: "Everyone, get up."
Over the course of a year, Gao Yangzhi, the No. 1 Scholar, became a lot darker, his face showed more vicissitudes of life, and there was still some dirt between the fingers of his hands.
As the highest civil official of Jiaozhi Road.
Before Taisun was about to return to Beijing.
Gao Yangzhi opened his mouth and said, "I heard that Your Highness is returning to Beijing today, so I came here to see you off. Your Highness has settled Jiaozhi. Before leaving, I would like to ask His Highness to take some time to inform you about the future path of Jiaozhi."
Zhu Yunxi was in Jiaozhi Road, but he only participated as a supervisor.
But who doesn't know that the Ming Dynasty finally has a Jiaozhi Road because of this emperor's grandson.
The future political direction of Jiaozhi Road will probably be determined by the grandson.
Saying goodbye is one, bowing and asking is the other.
Zhu Yunxi looked back at the dock outside the city.
In one year's time, Thanh Hoa City Pier is still being expanded.
Every day, Thanh Hoa City Pier handles massive amounts of Jiaozhi Road materials.
The nobles of the DPRK transferred the land to Jiaozhi Road, and also brought countless merchants. Food, wood, spices, gems, and minerals were transported back to the Central Plains through Qinghua City Wharf every day.
Similarly, countless goods are sent to Qinghua City every day in the Central Plains.
Behind the dock is a stretch of warehouses.
"The emperor has taught us that the people can stay close but not leave. The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is strong and the country is peaceful."
Zhu Yunxi looked at Gao Yangzhi, who was becoming more and more stable, and calmly said this cautionary saying in the book of ministers.
Then, his eyes looked over the faces of the young Cochin Road officials in front of them one by one.
Gao Yangzhi's face moved slightly.
This sentence is recorded in writing. It is the first time that the way to govern a country is to put the people first.
After that, no matter whether the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
They all follow this sentence.
"The people are the foundation of a country, and the foundation is the foundation of a country's peace."
"Your Highness's admonitions, I will keep them in mind. I will educate and govern Jiaozhi and never forget them."
Gao Yangzhi continued to make promises on behalf of the officials of Jiaozhi Road.
Zhu Yunxi nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.
At this time, a long and long horn sound came from Qinghua City Pier.
That was the signal that the fleet returning to Beijing was ready.
Zhu Yunxi walked past everyone with his head held high and his chest held high.
"Parting is so painful, please stay here. We will meet again one day. I will prepare a banquet and sweep the couch alone. I will reward you with a full cup."
"I respectfully send you off to the Emperor's grandson.
Your Highness. "
…
More than a month later, we arrived at Longwan Wharf outside Jinchuan Gate in the west of Yingtian City.
The nine-sailed treasure ship slowly docked at the pier, the pallets were stepped onto the pier, the people were driven away, and the imperial troops wandered away.
Zhu Gaochi, who had his hands in his sleeves and whose clothes were obviously too big, glanced at Longwan Pier, which had been cleared by the imperial army, and whispered to Zhu Yunxi who was walking in front of him: "The news of our return to Beijing was delivered to Songjiang Mansion as early as We’re back, who do you think will come to pick us up today?”
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Zhu Shangbing had already muttered: "The general is still in the south, so the emperor and uncle will definitely not come. The few of us are at most people from the clan mansion and the Ministry of Rites."
After a pause, Zhu Shangbing added: "At this time, the main hall is in class. The gentlemen will definitely not let anyone out, and those bastards will definitely not be able to get through."
"Zhu Shangbing, are you talking bad about us again?"
The three of them had just walked from the treasure ship to the pier when they heard a burst of yelling and curses coming from the pier.
Zhu Yunxi looked up and saw the old Zhu family cousins who were left in Yingtian and enrolled in the main hall.
And sure enough, as Zhu Shangbing said, apart from these unexpected cousins, there were only officials from the Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites waiting on the dock.
After some etiquette.
Zhu Yunxi was about to hit the horse and prepare to enter the city through Waijinchuan Gate, and rushed all the way back to the imperial city to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Waijinchuan Gate area seemed very quiet because the Emperor Taisun returned to Beijing from Nanzheng today, so the imperial army cleared the area early in the morning.
However, when Zhu Yunxi rode his horse through Waijinchuanmen, Waijinchuanmen Street in front was already exposed in front of him.
Suddenly, I heard a roar coming from my ears.
"That boy!"
"Suffer death!"
Immediately, Zhu Yunxi's vision was completely blocked.
I saw a huge shoe sole, rushing straight towards my face. .
