The story of Zhu Jianze, the Chongwang of the Ming Dynasty, who died before leaving the army quickly spread throughout Annan, and then to the surrounding countries.
The Li family in Annan received the news and said that this was a warning given by God who could not stand the Ming Dynasty. Any force that dared to invade Annan would be punished by God. Emperor Li was destined by fate and they were the orthodox ones. This was perverse behavior. fate.
Wow.
The whole world was in an uproar and the whole world was shocked.
Could it be true?
Even in the Ming Dynasty, some people took the opportunity to stir up trouble secretly and spread rumors, saying that Zhu Houzhao was militaristic, abandoned the government, and that traitors were in power. If things continued like this, the country would be ruined.
Some people also made a fuss about Liu Jian, the former chief minister of the cabinet, who resigned and returned to his hometown, saying that he had to resign because he was framed by traitors in the DPRK.
Who would have thought that just because of the death of Chong Wang Zhu Jianze, these remarks would be triggered.
Some people quoted circumstantial evidence and said that Yang Tinghe was the mastermind of this matter. In order to gain power, he did not hesitate to frame up and force Liu Jian to resign. There were also villains Liu Daxia and Jiao Fang, and even vaguely said that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were the culprits.
Li was even more happy because of this. He did not expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty would be so cooperative with him, so he also said that a hundred years ago, the founder of the Zhu family attacked Annan, and the pioneer general Zhu Neng also died on the way to attack Annan.
Annan has always been bullied and persecuted by the Ming Dynasty and had to rise up to resist. Now the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty listens to the villain's words and makes the world angry and resentful. The Li family should punish the people and do justice for heaven.
Throughout the Li Dynasty, people who did not know the truth responded to the call one after another. All the people were in arms, preparing to resist the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty, shouting that they would sacrifice their lives for the country and resist the invasion.
Surrounding countries also secretly sent weapons for support, among which Mancajia was the most important. They established contact with the Portuguese and purchased a large number of weapons from them.
In the past, these weapons might have caused unimaginable trouble to Wang Shouren's army, but with the new rifles from the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, haha, the Portuguese weapons were just fire sticks.
No matter how they jump, in the end they can only stand flat.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about those clowns. The morale of the military and the people were on his side. It was not something that could be accomplished by some people with ulterior motives. The most they would do was disgust him.
But Li's claim to be emperor really made him unhappy. He even wanted to send Qi Jingtong's warship to bomb the coastline of Annan to help Li sober up.
If Qi Jingtong's current task was not to bring back grain seeds, which was the top priority, Ming Dynasty would soon enter a large-scale reduction in grain production, and when natural disasters continued, how could Annan, an ant, be allowed to scream.
When Wang Shouren's army heard the news, they did not respond at all. In his opinion, anything he said now would make people proud. Instead of talking nonsense, it would be better to defeat Annan once and for all.
When this sage of mind science becomes angry, Annan's nightmare is about to begin. The majesty of the Ming Dynasty cannot be challenged...
"The army will be recuperating on the spot for three days. After three days, the front army will go ahead and build bridges when encountering mountains and rivers. The airship will be responsible for warning of movements within a thirty-mile radius. Ten days later, troops will surround Shenglong City." Wang Shouren issued a serious general order.
"Here."
"My lord, Zhu Youxi, please be the vanguard." Zhu Youxi stepped forward and wanted to lead the vanguard.
Everyone looked at him. He was the eldest son of His Royal Highness King Chong. He was in his twenties. He was like his father, capable of both literary and military skills.
Wang Shouren heard this and said calmly: "Your Majesty, King Chong is newly mourned. You should return home with his coffin. You don't have to participate in this battle."
Mr. Mu also nodded and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, the prince's funeral is important."
Zhu Youqi raised his hands and thanked the two of them. He could feel the concern of Wang Shouren and Mr. Mu, but he knew what he should do. His father would never die in peace.
As the eldest son, he has this responsibility and must fulfill his father's final regrets.
"Shibo, Lord Commander, Zhu Youjun can't leave. Have you all forgotten your father's final regrets? If I leave, wouldn't I become an unfilial person? Please don't persuade me anymore, I won't Let's go." Zhu Youxi said in a deep voice.
Everyone present was moved by the determination of the Crown Prince Zhu Youxi, and when they thought of the old prince's expression of unblinking expression on his deathbed, they couldn't help but recognize Zhu Youxi.
After Wang Shouren thought for a while, he looked at Mr. Mu and the other generals. Without any further hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, you will take over the vanguard position of His Highness Prince Chong and clear the way for my army. Zhu Youxi will obey the order."
Zhu Youxi knelt on one knee with a serious face: "I will obey the order."
"Three days later, you will lead an army of 30,000 troops to march ahead of our army."
"Here."
Li Shi was not willing to sit back and wait for death. He quickly shrank the country's troops and gathered them towards Thang Long City. Emperor Li wanted to defeat the Ming Dynasty's army in the imperial capital.
An army of 10,000 war elephants can resist a hundred thousand infantry of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Di attacked Annan, he encountered an army of Annan war elephants and suffered heavy losses. Later, it was said that he relied on the portraits of lions and tigers and the evil spirit of the roars of the soldiers. Defeat the war elephant army.
A hundred years later, in order to use this trick again against Ming Dynasty, the war elephants had already been trained and were no longer afraid of fake lions and tigers.
Coupled with the Portuguese muskets and artillery sent by Canada, Li became more confident in fighting the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't know it.
Mancajia has become a puppet of the Portuguese, or in other words, the entire Mancajia is now actually controlled by the Portuguese.
Through Marco Polo's travels, Europeans learned that the New World continent could be reached by sea, which aroused their strong desire. In addition, Europe is now in a state of melee. The most powerful maritime powers are Spain and Portugal. They passed Looking for a channel in the vast sea.
Finally, we arrived at Mancijia. It’s funny to say that Mancijia was considered a powerful country in East Asia at the time, but in front of these blond and blue-eyed people, in just half a day, the fleet of a hundred or ten people was defeated without any power to fight back, and the whole country surrendered. .
Therefore, it is not so much that Manchuria supported Annan and provided weapon support behind the scenes, but it was actually the Europeans who were behind the scenes. Portugal landed on the East Asian continent six years ahead of schedule.
Europe has also begun to undergo large-scale changes, and is in a period of simultaneous development with the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty is always one step ahead of them because of the heaven-defying existence of Zhu Houzhao.
They wanted to test how strong the Ming Dynasty was, so they needed a pioneer, so they chose Annan. First, they were closest to the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, Mancijia was far away from Annan. Even if they found out that they were behind it, With their understanding of the Ming Navy, they could not cause harm to them.
The idea is good. If Emperor Hongzhi reigns, they may still take advantage.
Since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, he has begun to prepare a dock base along the coast. Now the dock construction has been completed, and even the giant ship Fuchuan, which is like a giant at sea, is probably about to arrive in Malacca at this moment.
When they see it, I don’t know what their expressions will be.
maritime.
"Eunuch Feng, the old port is ahead. Please ask for permission to enter the old port for supplies."
Eunuch Feng is Feng Ji. It is said that Xuanwei and Xuanwei are the two marquises Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, but in fact, Feng Ji is the one who controls the entire fleet because he carries the emperor's secret decree and concurrently holds the position of director of the Fu Ship.
Along the way, the Zhang brothers basically did nothing, except eating and sleeping. Fortunately, they just walked along the coastline, stopping and going to check the correct route of the chart. Finally, they arrived at the old port without any danger. .
When a group of people in the old port saw the ship with the Ming Dynasty dragon flag gradually emerging from the distance, they all walked to the pier to take a look.
hiss.
The sound of gasping air could be heard one after another on the pier.
"This, this, this is a blessing ship, this is a blessing ship, God, this is the blessing ship of the Ming Dynasty!!"
A hundred years have passed, a full hundred years have passed, and unexpectedly the Ming Dynasty's Fortune Ship appeared again. The huge hull like a hill appeared in the old port again, and everyone was excited.
Some people are descendants who followed Zheng He here in the past, some people fled here after the sea was banned, and there are also local natives. Everyone who sees the lucky ship is in disbelief, plus fear and shock.
What is Daming going to do?
The Central Plains people in the old port have always been oppressed by the locals, and their lives are worse than slaves. They don't take it seriously when these Ming Dynasty or former wanderers see the Ming Dynasty's ships appear on the sea level.
They were all extremely excited. That kind of anxiety, longing and expectation was something that others could not understand. Only people like them who were living here could understand.
"Master Marquis, we have arrived at the old port. I suggest you go down and resupply, rest for a while, and then continue to set off along the sea route." Feng Ji came to the cabin and asked the Zhang brothers for instructions. After all, they were nominally the chief and deputy envoys of this trip.
When Zhang Heling heard this, he jumped up and said unsteadily: "We have arrived at the old port. So, okay, let's go down and have a look. If there are any good things, I will search them out."
Zhang Yanling was also excited. They finally arrived on land. When they passed by Champa, they wanted to get off the boat, but Feng Ji stopped them, saying that the wind and waves were too strong, and the people in Champa were small and there were no good things.
When they arrived in Zhenla, they said that the people there were fierce and stubborn, and for the sake of the safety of the two marquises, it was not appropriate to disembark.
Well, they can only follow Feng Ji's command and spend their boring time. Today they finally heard the good news and can disembark.
The troops of the Ming Dynasty that have been stationed here are all left by Zheng He, but they have not been in contact for a hundred years. They are like a forgotten group of people who have suffered so much humiliation. When they see the troops of the Ming Dynasty again, they actually don't have much emotion anymore.
Except for some people who always remember that they are people of the Ming Dynasty.
The fortune ship sailed slowly towards the old port, anchored one mile away, and moved away. All the ships in sight were filled with Ming ships, all flying the Ming dragon flag.
The officials left behind in the old port were from the Ming Dynasty. After receiving the news, they immediately ran over in a hurry, found a small boat in a hurry, and approached the lucky ship.
"Xiaoguan Daming Old Port Guard Liu Siming, see Shangguan." Liu Siming is a man in his forties, dark and thin, with a goatee on his chin.
He didn't know which of the Ming lords came here, and he didn't receive the paperwork, so he had to bite the bullet and ask for an audience.
The Zhang brothers walked to the bow of the boat and looked at the green-robed official. They really had no interest in seeing him. They pouted at Feng Ji and said, "Go and send him away. I don't have time to see him."
Feng Ji understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I know this."
