For decades, it took the Ming court decades more to completely defeat the Northern Xia, which was huddled in Quzhou. However, faced with the situation where the bones of the loess were left in the Central Plains and there was no rooster crow for thousands of miles, the Ming army, which had been fighting for decades, But he no longer has the ability to chase Can Xia who keeps fleeing north!
Therefore, while consolidating local areas and resuming production, the Ming court also approved the Ministry of War's petition to negotiate peace between Liu Dahao and the remaining tribes of Canxia. Moreover, in order to ease the tense relationship between the two parties, the Ming Emperor also sent Bo Yuqi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, to (The grandson of the honorable Bo Lugao) is the envoy and rushes to Shencheng, Liaozhou to preside over the ceremony of canonizing the new king of Canxia!
Yes, the Great Xia Dynasty, which once dominated the Central Plains and looked down upon the world, has now fallen to the point where it has to accept the canonization of the king by its enemies! Moreover, what is even worse is that after seeing the weak nature of Can Xia, the warlords who were still loyal to Daxia simply abandoned the Xia Dynasty and began to separate local areas and became the emperors. For a time, various princes and marshals , generals, and general managers sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, which really caught the Ming court off guard and overwhelmed them!
In the subsequent more than ten years of fighting, a regiment training force from Kuizhou suddenly emerged from the numerous armed separatist forces! After absorbing a large number of refugees and defeating the Xia army, they actually successfully defeated other forces in Kuizhou and began to dominate the western frontier of the empire; and shortly after the founding of the country, they also sent envoys south to Anyang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty (after the annihilation of Nan Xia, the Ming Dynasty The imperial court moved its capital to Anyang, the old capital of Daxia), seeking to have the increasingly powerful Ming Dynasty recognize its vassal status!
The leader of the Kuizhou Army was conferred as King Liang, given a gold seal, and allowed to open a government office and establish a shogunate (not unique to island countries)! This was an affirmation of the Ming Dynasty, which was in urgent need of using troops in the southern frontier of the empire, to the Kuizhou Army who took the initiative to request surrender. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the leadership style of the great empire, there were also Ming Dynasty soldiers who left Anyang with the canonization mission. The imperial court gave Liang Fan a reward of hundreds of cars and thousands of craftsmen!
Send an army south to suppress the increasingly fierce Miao Tong Uprising in Baizhou! This is another decision made by the Ming court after solving the problems of Northern Xia and Xiliang! And with this decision made, thousands of Ming Empire soldiers left their homes and appeared in the dense forests of the south where the climate is hot and humid and full of miasma!
Poisonous snakes and insects, deadly miasma, and endless sneak attacks and assassinations! This is the best gift that the Miao and Tong tribes and their loyal bastards, the Chidani and Tamulun people, gave to the Ming army from afar! Under this situation, the Ming army, which lacked medical treatment and medicine, suffered a large reduction in personnel and could not organize an effective force for a decisive battle with the Miao Tong coalition army, which was skilled in jungle warfare!
To win over, divide, bribe, alienate! The commander-in-chief of the Ming army, Zuo Dudu Hong Chengtao (the son of Hong Jianbin, the noble of the Ming Dynasty and the Duke of Qiuhe County), on the advice of his advisers, sent out envoys carrying large sums of money to lobby and alienate the Miao Tongtou people in their villages, trying to divide them from within. Disintegrate the coalition of four races!
And the final result proved that their strategy was effective and successful! Because the coalition forces of the four tribes, which totaled 100,000, quickly collapsed under the temptation of gold, some of them were bribed by the rewards offered by the Ming army and began to work hard, and these guys were especially the indigenous strange ones. The Dani and Tamulun people were the main ones. They accepted the bribes of the Ming Dynasty. They were Baizhou Chidani Valley Lipanha (meaning guard envoy in Baizhou general language), Jingli Nipanha (Paijun). (meaning) with the title of the tribe, they broke away from the coalition forces and returned to their own stronghold; the remaining tens of thousands of Miao Tong coalition forces also lost consecutive battles due to lackeys and traitors from the tribe, and were forced to negotiate peace with the Ming court. In the end, they had no choice but to The result of accepting the official position of Ming Dynasty ended sadly!
Defeating Daxia, Naxi Liang, and surrendering to the Southern Barbarians, a series of victories made the Ming Dynasty, an invader of time and space, unparalleled in its glory! Therefore, everyone at that time said that when the imperial army arrives tomorrow, all nations will surrender!
In the following more than a hundred years, the Ming Empire, which had obtained the land, wealth and people of the Xia Dynasty, sent troops everywhere, and successively surrendered to Goryeo, Moxi (generally referring to the barbarian tribe active in the north of Genzhou), Lin Hu (United Minorities in the North of Kanzhou), Tuyuhun, Sun Khanate (the jurisdiction is similar to Xinjiang in the real world, western Inner Mongolia, and most of Outer Mongolia), Louche, Yuchi, Alahan, Boge (Louche, Yuchi, Alahan, and Bogo are all countries west of Tuyuhun, similar to western Xinjiang and the five Central Asian countries in the real world), Yizhou (I don’t need to mention it), Annan, Jiaozhi, Daocheng, Angkor, and Boni. , Siam, Myanmar and more than 20 countries have become the well-deserved center of the world, the kingdom of heaven!

As Qiao Si's slow and leisurely narration stopped, Kang Lin, who was sitting on the wooden chair, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. He reached out to pick up the tea bowl that he hadn't picked up for a long time and poured a sip of the cold tea into his mouth. I raised my head and looked out through the open wooden window, but I was surprised to find that the crescent moon that was originally hanging on the willow branches in the sky had climbed up to the clouds and hung in the middle of the ink-like sky!
"Come on, what time is it now?"
"I'm telling you, the Headmaster, it's already the end of Haishi (about eleven o'clock in the evening)." After hearing the Headmaster's inquiry, Luo Guang, the follower at the sentry post outside the door, immediately pushed the door open and responded respectfully with his hands raised.
"It's midnight!" Kang Lin stood up and moved his hands and feet a little to relieve the numbness caused by sitting for a long time. Then he reached out and closed the wooden window, "Give me the order, Liu, Gu, Lin, Yan and Fan, the five general managers, are discussing matters in the commander's cabin!"
"Yes, the boss!"
"Also, by the way, take Boss Qiao down to find a place to have a meal and rest! Remember, Boss Qiao is our distinguished guest, so we must not neglect it..." Just when Luo Guang was ordered to convey the order, Kang Lin opened his mouth and asked another of his followers to take Qiao Si, who had been a storyteller for a day, out to settle down.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Brothers, sit down!" Under the soft light of the kerosene lamp, the head of Kangda, who had listened to the secret history of the mainland for a day, was now shaking his cheeks and eating the brown rice and broth brought by Yang Qi. To be honest, Kang Lin In fact, he is not a squeamish urbanite. On the contrary, this guy who was born in the countryside is known to be able to endure hardships. Sometimes when he is hungry to a certain extent, he can even eat hard noodles without water. !
"Master, why did you call me here so late?" Unlike Kang Lin, who had been an audience member for a day, Lin Wu, who was as tired as a dead dog after a busy day, obviously had a strong desire to get up. Therefore, as soon as I entered the cabin, I heard this guy's loud voice like a broken gong.
"Xiao Wu, don't be rude in front of the boss!" However, before Mr. Kang Da could raise his head, Liu Laoliu, who was following Lin Wu, heard what this guy said and started to scold him first.
"Uncle Liu, it's okay. It's not my fault for disturbing my dreams at night..." Kang Lin was open-minded. When he saw his confidant Liu Laoliu scolding his confidant Lin Wu, he also put down his job and pretended to be a good person.
"Master, etiquette must not be broken. If you continue to indulge them like this, I'm afraid you will spoil them!" Liu Laoliu is the eldest leader after all. He usually helps Kang Lin restrain his gang of men. Not letting them do whatever they wanted was a violation of the fleet's rules, but now that the boss was speaking, it was hard to refute his face anymore and continue to reprimand Lin Wu sternly.
"Uncle Six, it's really okay. I have called you here because I have something to discuss with you..." Kang Lin understood the old sailor's thoughts well and knew that it was difficult to change his mind with just a few words, so he changed the subject.
"Master, I'd like to hear the details!" After hearing what the master said, Liu Laoliu did not continue to pester him, but straightened up his slightly stooped body seriously, stretched his ears, and prepared to listen to Kang Lin's next words. .
"Everyone, I just talked with the merchant ship steward Qiao Si for a long time, and I have already got a preliminary understanding of some things on this continent. The reason why I came to you is to discuss our next step..." Kang Lin saw that everyone was confused. Focusing his attention on himself, he picked up some important things that Qiao Si told him when he and Qiao Si talked in the afternoon. In addition, he was also going to tell them the plan he thought of during the meal. them.
"The small island where the Jufu Chamber of Commerce hangs out its goods is the first stop of our plan. According to Qiao Si, it is both hidden and not far from the mainland. It is a good foothold. Therefore, all we have to do these days is Under his guidance, get there as soon as possible and capture it! As for other things, let's not worry about it for now. We will wait until we capture the island and settle down..." Conlin slightly brightened the light of the oil lamp, and then Then he spoke in a slow tone to all the confidants in the cabin.
