On May 27, the 12th year of Tianwu, Zheng Lord Annan was scared to death by the Ming army. The prince Zheng Zha led the Zheng family out of the city to surrender and presented the seal of the King Annan, land and land book and household registration.

Li Dingguo ordered the civil and military officials of Annan to be packaged together and taken to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Mo Jingyu temporarily entered Shenglong to appease the people.

In order to prevent the Mo family from taking the opportunity to grow and grow, he transferred the Mo family army to Lingjiang, and transferred another brigade from the Southern Army Governor's Office to Shenglong.

On the first day of June, the Ming army, who had been resting in Shenglong for several days, heading south again, preparing to defeat the Ruan rule in the south.

For decades, the Zheng emperor of the Northern Emperor of the Li Dynasty had been trying to annex the Ruan tribes in the south and unify Annan, but did not achieve the expected goal.

On the contrary, the Ruan family continued to strengthen their strength in the battle with the Zheng family, and eventually formed two mutually opposed separatist regimes. Both sides took Lingjiang as the boundary and each ruled independently, ending with a draw. Jiangbei returned to Zheng's rule, and Jiangnan was ruled by the Ruan family.

A few months ago, the Ming court issued an order to Lord Ruan to bring troops north to attack Lord Zheng. However, Lord Ruan saw that this was the Ming Dynasty's strategy to weaken both sides, so he wrote a letter saying that the country was weak and the people were poor and could not take the initiative to launch a war.

When he arrived, Lord Ruan also reached out to the Ming Dynasty for assistance, food, weapons, etc. and made a list of them.

Lord Ruan’s approach is like playing the Ming Dynasty of the sect leader country as a fool. When he fought against Annan, Zhu Cilang strictly ordered Li Dingguo to destroy Lord Ruan and conquer the entire territory of Annan.

In mid-March, Daming sent troops to accept Chameng, and in order to deal with the Ruan regime, threatening them from the south.

When he learned that the Ming army was heading south in large numbers, Lord Ruan, who was entrenched in Shunhua, was panicked and hurriedly sent envoys to meet Li Dingguo.

On the north bank of Lingjiang River, in the Ming army camp, the envoy Ruan knelt all the way from the gate to the central army's tent, with an extremely humble attitude.

When he arrived in the tent, the messenger leaned on the ground and said tremblingly: "The little messenger is visiting the general!"

Li Dingguo knocked on the table and said lightly: "Master Ruan asked you to come, what do you want to talk about?"

The envoy did not dare to get up and said in a sweat: "Report to the General, our Lord called on the Ming army to be restrained, maintain restraint, and maintain peace and security in Annan, and not to change the status quo, and not to destroy the status quo..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a general of the Ming army in the tent laughed wildly: "Haha! These guys, we are reasoning, they are hooligans, we are hooligans, they are so fucking shameless!"

Guo Tianbo, Duke of Qian, walked over with his hands behind his back and taught the envoy a lesson: "How can you be a hooligan and not let us lose our temper! We have given you a chance, and it's too late to say anything now!"

Faced with the humiliation of the generals in the tent, Lord Ruan's messenger blushed and felt very powerless.

Master Zheng has a 100,000 troops, but the Ming army has collapsed in just half a month. Master Ruan is three points weaker than Master Zheng. How can he resist the Ming army's going south?

Moreover, the Ming army that attacked this time not only attacked the official route of the north, but thousands of troops came from Chameng to the south. Not to mention the Ruan tribe, even if the Ruan tribe and the Zheng tribe were tied together, they could not deal with it!

Li Dingguo looked at the messenger and said coldly: "Go back and tell Ruan to let them bring their own coffins!"

The messenger was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. No matter what, he lay down before talking. After expressing his attitude, he would be fine when he went back.

......

In the Fengtian Palace in Nanjing, Zhu Cilang was discussing the war in the southwest with important officials and generals in the court.

Since the army of the Southern Expedition entered Annan, Zhu Cixuan summoned court officials almost every day to discuss the possible progress of the front-line war. What kind of results achieved by the Southern Expedition Army was related to the political arrangements of the Ming Dynasty to take over Annan.

Zhu Cilang learned from the lessons of Yongle and Xuande dynasties in governing Annan and attached great importance to the appointment of officials.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty lost Annan in the Xuande Dynasty was the corruption of local officials.

Most of the dog officials came from the neighboring provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong and Yunnan. They knew a little about writing and ventured deep into the wilderness. The purpose was not to manage the newly established Jiaozhi Province (Jiaozhi Administration and Envoy) for the Ming Dynasty, but to make a fortune.

In particular, eunuchs, the military supervisor appointed by the court, became the supreme officials of Jiaozhi Province, and launched unbearable blackmail against the local people, such as peacock tails, dead eunuchs and dog officials, who charge 10,000 from the local people every year.

If the number is insufficient, these dog officials will arrest the Jiaozhi people and torture them cruelly.

In this way, who can not rebel?

"Report, Annan Emergency Military Newspaper!"

A military newspaper came from outside Fengtian Hall, and General Li Hu, the general in front of the hall, submitted a report to the imperial front.

Zhu Cixuan took the military newspaper, opened it directly in front of the court officials, took out the letter paper inside and looked at it.

There is no suspense to conquer Annan, and Zhu Cixuan hopes to see better news in the military newspaper.

His highness's ministers stretched their necks, wanting to know what was said in the military newspaper that was rushed to Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Cilang suddenly burst into laughter with pride: "Hahaha, when the rebel Zheng Jian saw our army appearing under Shenglong City, he died in fear and died suddenly on the spot!"

The court officials looked at each other and thought to himself how could Zheng Jian be so fragile that he was scared to death by the Ming army? This is too incredible!

Throughout history, it is rare to see people who are scared to death by the enemy!

However, it seems that several appeared in my Tianwu Dynasty. For example, Duke Jingguo Huang Degong shouted loudly, scaring a banner master of the Qing Dynasty to death, and the Supreme Emperor scolded Zu Dale to death in front of the formation...

More officials felt sad for Zheng Jian. Why did the little Zheng Lord do? It was too overestimated to fight against the giant Ming Dynasty in a mere small country!

Then, Zhu Cixuan continued to look down, and a smile appeared on his face again.

He held up the army and reported: "Zheng Zheng surrendered in the city, and our army continued to move south. On June 12th, the troops were divided into troops to capture fifteen cities controlled by Ruan Piece, defeated the capital of Ruan Piece, and killed 30,000 enemies, captured the pseudo king of the Ruan family, generals, ministers and other more than a hundred people, and sent them to the capital soon!"

Zhu Cilang said proudly: "At this point, the entire Annan area has been completely pacified, and the income has been 48 prefectures, 180 counties, and 5.12 million households!"

Seeing the emperor's expression from excitement to calmness and then joy, the ministers' mood also changed.

Yang Shicong was the first to jump out and shouted: "Putting Annan is a great blessing for the country. It depends entirely on Your Majesty's wise decision-making. The soldiers on the front line fulfill their mission and strive to kill the enemy! I congratulate Your Majesty! Congratulate Your Majesty!"

All the ministers shouted together: "Cai!"

Some court officials who were good at expressing themselves stood up alone and said some gratifying words with generous words. They did not forget to use his solid cultural foundation to slap Emperor Zhu’s farts and praise him for making a wise decision on his expedition to Annan!

After accepting the compliments from the court officials, Zhu Cixuan gradually put away his somewhat complacent smile, stood up from the imperial throne, and asked the ministers: "My dear friends, since Annan has been pacified, how should we deal with the land of Annan?"

Although they have been decided, they still have to leave their actions. After all, what happened today must be recorded in history.

Yang Shicong was the first to jump out and shouted: "Of course, we will eliminate the name of Annan and reorganize Jiaozhi Province, rebuild prefectures and counties within its territory, and send officials to govern it, and permanently place the Annan area under the jurisdiction of our Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Tinglin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stood up and said: "The people in Annan are all descendants of our Han people, and they are dedicated to enlightenment. This is also an act of conforming to public opinion!"

"Your Majesty, I will discuss it!"

Li Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, also stood up to express his support. He said: "The land of Annan, and even the entire Nanyang, both tribes and seas, must be included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty, otherwise the achievements made by tens of thousands of soldiers in the war will be wiped out!"

The entire Fengtian Palace was one-sided, and it was all supported by the establishment of a province in Annan except for the country, and no one came out to oppose it.

Even Li Banghua, the old director of the Censorate, who has always adhered to the ancestral teachings, tried his best to speak several times after listening to the comments of everyone. Later, he seemed to be thinking about it and agreed to this matter.
