Brothers are also here to bring order to the chaos?" Mu Weiming's words stunned the soldiers and horses on the opposite side.

Immediately, the people on the opposite side also realized that they had decided to surrender after receiving the notice from the court. It turns out that everyone is one of our own!

Immediately, the two sides were at war with each other, and the tense atmosphere disappeared without a trace. The two groups of people came together and saw that they were acquaintances, and the atmosphere immediately became cordial and lively.

The school captain opposite is also a branch of the Mu family. Now he has also changed his name. He is now called Mu Jianping, and his surname is Mu after Mu Guiying in the Song Dynasty, indicating that he has always been loyal to the imperial court.

In this way, Mu Jianping and Mu Weiming reached an agreement and rushed to the Duke of Guizhou with their troops and horses. Only then did they realize that the Duke of Guizhou's mansion had been surrounded by other soldiers and horses.

It turned out that all the soldiers and horses did not want to fight with the imperial court at all. Who would be willing to die in a fatal battle?

The imperial court has just divided the land. It's hard to live a good life now. My wife and children are hot on the bed. If I die for the Mu family's own selfish desires, I think the common people are stupid.

As soon as several people gathered together, they immediately led the troops and rushed into the Mu family. Suddenly, there was a lot of excitement in the Duke of Guizhou's mansion, not to mention the main family, and they also didn't let go of those they didn't know from the branch.

In the end, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Song were also caught by them. Compared to Mrs. Chen, who was so tied up, a few people respected Mrs. Song: "Old madam, we have no choice but to do it. You can just be aggrieved."

Old Mrs. Song looked at the generals of the side branches in front of her. Facing these dazzling swords, Old Mrs. Song sighed: "Fortunately, the Mu family is not dead yet..."

The next day, Lang Pingning found that the gates of Kunming City were wide open, and groups of soldiers walked out of the city gates and put down their weapons. The defenders of Kunming City surrendered.

"Yuanfu, General Lang came to report that the defenders of Kunming City had brought order to the chaos and captured the head of the Mu family and surrendered."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "General Lang Lang takes good care of everyone in the Mu family. We cannot let them die, but let them live well."

"Yuanfu, General Qin came to report that the common people and soldiers of all ethnic groups in Dali Mansion brought order to the chaos, and all the chieftains who colluded with Annan were captured."

Zhang Haogu continued to give instructions: "Order General Qin to station in Dali and keep an eye on those chieftains." "Taichong, call General Huang." "Student understands." Huang Zongxi immediately went to find Huang Degong.

Soon, Huang Degong entered the tent and said, "Yuan Fu, you come to me." Zhang Haogu nodded and said, "Sit down."

After watching Huang Degong sit down, Zhang Haogu said: "The imperial court will definitely turn Annan into a province. Now that Yunnan has been pacified and Annan has been captured, I will naturally set off to return to Beijing."

"This Jiaozhi needs someone to guard it, and I would like you to be the governor of Jiaozhi."

Huang Degong was confused. He was the commander of Nanjing Shenji Battalion, how could he reach the position of second-grade governor?

"How about it, are you willing to protect the three thousand miles of rivers and mountains for the imperial court?" Zhang Haogu asked. Huang Degong immediately stood up and clasped his fists: "The final general will live up to Yuan Fu's high expectations."

Nodding, Zhang Haogu continued: "Now, Annan is divided into north and south. Although the imperial court's decree has not yet come down, Annan's transformation into Jiaozhi is a foregone conclusion. You must stabilize the situation of Jiaozhi and not let Jiaozhi

Trouble will arise."

"If you don't need to do anything yourself, the gentry who are friendly to you will naturally help you." Huang Degong said, "The general will understand."

Nodding, Zhang Haogu said: "I will keep the 30,000 new troops from Nanjing for you." "Go and prepare."

Two days later, the governor's camp set off, and Zhao Yuqi led 3,000 cavalrymen from the Capital's 3,000 Battalion to escort the governor's camp back to Yunnan.

After returning to Yunnan, Zhang Haogu rewarded the soldiers for their merits and dismissed the troops from Sichuan and Guizhou. Then he ordered Qin Liangyu to lead the white-pole soldiers to temporarily station in Dali, Lang Pingning led the army to station in Yunnan Prefecture, and Tian Ergen led the Jinyi Guards to guard those soldiers.

The chieftain, the Mu family, and the supervisor traveled back to the Central Plains by water.

At this time, in the capital, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei were frowning at the expenditures.

As soon as the Southwest War started, the tax money and grain from Jiangnan were given priority to supply the Southwest War. Along the way, ships and civilians were recruited to escort the grain and grass, soldiers and horses from each province guarded the ordnance, and shiploads of gunpowder, cannons, and rockets were sent to Yunnan.

The Ming Dynasty's arsenal inventory in Jiangnan was being spent like water. It had been more than two months since the war started. It was not that the court could not support the expenditure, but it was worried about how long it would last.

Zhang Haogu's previous military reports were one once a week. Through the military reports that arrived in the capital one after another, Zhu Youxiao and the cabinet also learned about the current military situation of the imperial court in Yunnan.

Now Zhang Haogu has defeated Annan's army, and all the troops have entered Annan's territory. It seems that Zhang Haogu is obviously not satisfied with just retreating the enemy, he also wants to attack Annan!

But in this fight, it is not as simple as retreating the enemy in Yunnan.

The army's grain road extends all the way to Annan. The consumption of transporting grain and grass equipment along the way is an astronomical figure. What's more, Annan is not as good as Yunnan, which is the homeland of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has favorable geographical conditions and people, but Annan is the land of another country.

When the army enters, there are constraints everywhere. Is this Annan easy to fight?

Huang Liji sighed and said: "Mr. Wei Ge, you see, Yuan Fu is determined to attack Annan, saying that he wants to imitate Chengzu's achievements and turn Annan into our territory of the Ming Dynasty."

Wei Guangwei was helpless: "Then what can we do?"

"The Emperor has made it clear that he supports Yuan Fu, can we still oppose him at this time?"

Huang Liji said: "Then just watch him go to attack Annan? Annan is no better than Yunnan. How long will the army have to fight? He has mobilized 30,000 soldiers and horses from Jiangnan, as well as soldiers and horses from Sichuan and Guizhou to assist."

"But if the army is frustrated, will he need to mobilize more troops, more money and food?"

"When Chengzu conquered Annan, he used two to three hundred thousand troops."

Wei Guangwei shook his head: "If he wants to have his own way, just let him. You and I both know how difficult it is to fight Annan. It's okay to let him hit a wall. After all, he insists on fighting. It will only waste money and food in vain."

Let's see how he explains to the court."

"Good news! Good news!" "Great victory in Annan!" "Great victory in Annan!"

The post soldiers rode into the capital, shouting loudly and galloping all the way, attracting people from the capital to watch. "Did you hear it? It seems to be a good news." "Yes, the southwest side won the battle!" "Over there in the southwest, I heard that Annan

With 150,000 troops dispatched, the imperial court has won?"

"Hey, the barbarians in Annan can still be compared with the Tatars on the grassland, and the Jurchens in Liaodong are fierce? Even the 100,000 Jurchen and Tatar armies were wiped out by the imperial court, so what are the 150,000 barbarians in Annan?"

"That's right, our Ming Dynasty is now strong, the people are rich, the army is well-equipped, and the Tianqi Dynasty has ever lost in foreign wars?"

"Yes, the Annan barbarians dared to provoke me, the Ming Dynasty. Now our army of 150,000 has been defeated. You must regret it!"

The people in the capital were excitedly discussing the war in the southwest. Now that the imperial court had won another great victory, the people were naturally elated and proud. Did the Ming Dynasty still have enemies that could not be wiped out?

Just kidding, my Ming Dynasty is now invincible!

After the good news entered the cabinet, Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei heard it and quickly opened the fire paint to check: "The tenth year of the Apocalypse..."

"The king's army went out to conquer Annan, burned the Dragon King's city, captured the nobles of Annan, and destroyed his country..." Annan was destroyed?! Both King Annan and Annan's nobles were captured?! This news shocked

Huang Liji and Wei Guangwei simply couldn't believe it.

How long has it been since Zhang Haogu destroyed Annan? How is this possible?! But the good news is here, Zhang Haogu cannot deceive the emperor.

Soon, Zhu Youxiao arrived in person: "I heard that another good news has arrived from the southwest?" Huang Liji quickly presented the good news: "Your Majesty, he just arrived."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the victory report carefully. When he saw that "the city of Dragon King was burned, the nobles of the Annan Kingdom were captured, their country was destroyed, their country was destroyed, and the three thousand miles of Annan's mountains and rivers were all the land of our Han family", his eyes were filled with excitement.

The light flashed and the eyebrows danced: "Okay! Good! Good!"

"If a small barbarian country dares to provoke the Ming Dynasty, this is what will happen!"

"Don't spread this news yet. I'll go to see Mo Zaihe tomorrow morning to see how he reacts!"

With that said, Zhu Youxiao laughed and left with the good news. Tomorrow morning, he would ask Mo Zaihe in the court to see if Mo Zaihe could still be as rampant as before.

The next morning, in the early morning, hundreds of civil and military officials from the Ming Dynasty entered the court: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor." Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Everyone is safe." "Where is Annan's envoy Mo Zaihe? Ask him to come in." Wang Tiqian said

Immediately shouted: "It is reported that Annan's envoy should not enter the river again to go to Hajj."

Soon, Mo Zaihe, who had been waiting for him early, entered the hall with an expressionless face, bowed and saluted: "The foreign ministers pay homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Mo Zaihe and asked with a smile: "Envoy Annan, does your country still want Ming Dynasty's Yunnan now?"

Mo Zaihe said: "Back to the Ming Emperor, Yunnan was originally part of our Yue Kingdom, and now the Yue Kingdom just wants to take it back."

"Oh...I see, that's it."

Zhu Youxiao smiled even more on his face, but there was undisguised sarcasm in his eyes: "Yunnan is part of the Yue Kingdom, and now the Yue Kingdom wants to take it back."

"But what does Yue State care about your affairs in Annan?"

Mo Zaihe said righteously: "I, Annan, was originally the orthodox member of the Yue Kingdom and a branch of the Chinese people. Now that my king has changed Annan to Yue, I, Annan, can naturally represent the Yue Kingdom."

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the two countries are now at war, and the lives of the people have been devastated and the people have been displaced. It is really a tragedy on earth. Our country has high mountains and dangerous natural conditions. In addition, we are familiar with the dense forests of the southwest mountains. The army marches in the mountains as if it is on the ground. The Ming army cannot be defeated. If the Ming Dynasty must fight

Going down is just a waste of money and food."

"Why don't your Majesty show mercy, stop the war between the two countries, and cede Yunnan to our country, Yue, so that the two countries can be restored to harmony and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

After saying this, Zhang Ruitu immediately said: "How outrageous!"

"With a small barbarian country and no respect for the power of Heaven, how can our Ming Dynasty be coveted by those arrogant people like you who sit in a well and watch the sky?"

"Do you really think that the dangerous southwest and the steep mountains can stop Wang Shi?"

"I want to tell you that the King's Division has already wiped out the southwest, and all your troops who invaded Ming Yunnan have been completely wiped out!"

When Mo Zaihe heard the news, he couldn't help but let out a "thump" in his heart. The whole army was wiped out? How is it possible? There was no news before that the king sent an additional 50,000 troops to Yunnan?

That was an army of 150,000 people. How could we say we were defeated?

But looking at the Ming Emperor's extremely confident look, it seems that the Dai Viet Kingdom has really been defeated? Mo Zaihe muster up his spirits, so what if he loses?

Yunnan is right on the edge of Dai Viet Kingdom. Dai Viet Kingdom also has mountains as natural dangers and jungles as barriers. It’s just a battle lost. Dai Viet Kingdom can continue to fight after it recovers!

So Mo Zaihe said: "Our country has just been defeated for a while, so what?" "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty called the foreign ministers here just to humiliate the foreign ministers?"

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "No, no, no, my Ming Dynasty King's Division has already invaded your country a few days ago, but you just don't know about it, envoy."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers: "Recently, there have been remarks in the court that the war in the southwest consumes a lot of money and food. So what if the war is unsettled for a long time and only wastes money and food."

"Today, I would like to tell all my dear friends that by the way, I will tell you, Annan's special envoy, that the battle is over, the imperial court has won, and the Annan kingdom is gone!"

Hearing this, the courtiers were immediately shocked: "What? The fight is over already?! How long has it been?"

"Did the imperial court win? It has only been more than two months since the troops were sent out, and they have recovered Yunnan?"

"What about recovering Yunnan? The imperial court has already reached Annan. The war in Annan should be over now."
