The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!
Chapter 291 Let’s talk about enfeoffment again
Dayu, with nearly 30 troops, launched a general attack on Annan in three directions. Annan fell into war in just half a month.
The dignitaries and rich people in the upper class fled to neighboring Togo with their gold, silver, jewelry and family members, and the powerful and rich people in several eastern states fled to Xingxingfu Road, where there was no war.
Looking at the fleeing team with their families and carriages loaded with supplies, Sima Lu's staff said: "It's the warlord who is so clever. You have already expected that they would flee to Xingxingfu Road! But we really don't need to intercept a few teams now. Raise some military pay for our attack on Annan?"
Sima Lu looked at the fleeing team at the bottom of the mountain, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, we are the food in your pot, we can't escape no matter what! Now our first priority is to rush to Zhongdu Mansion and other roads The expeditionary force rendezvous!”
Although the staff was greedy for the wealth of these dignitaries and rich people below the mountain, when it came to business, he said seriously: "According to the news from the messenger, the empress sent the navy stationed in Nanyang to attack Nie'an, Xinping, Hue and other places. , the navy stationed in Nanyang will support us at sea and cooperate with us to wipe out the troops in these three state capitals.
The soldiers who want to come to the Yi'an base are getting ready to go, waiting for us to attack the areas north of Annan before joining them. "
What they said was that the navy led by Li Dingguo was not in a hurry to attack the Huan Kingdom, but turned around and marched north, heading for Binzhou Road north of Yi'an.
Compared with the coastal state capitals, Binzhou's strength is relatively small, with less than troops. Dayu's navy attacked with nearly people. They had no power to parry and surrendered directly to Dayu's navy.
By the time Li Dingguo led the navy to occupy Qinghuafu Road, the other three armies had already successfully joined forces in Zhongdufu.
When Sima Lu learned from Ye Bushou that the navy stationed in Nanyang had captured all the roads along the southern coast, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"It is indeed a navy trained by the empress herself. Its combat effectiveness is not weaker than our mobile troops on land."
After hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Shi Mingbi thought of the current situation and said: "General Governor, most of Annan is now occupied by us, and only a small area south of Zhongdu Mansion is left. Do you think it is necessary to send a letter to the empress first to ask him to Send the officials who govern Annan."
It is true that they know how to fight, but they are still not as good at governing the place as the civil servants trained by the imperial court.
Sima Lu looked at the other generals and asked, "What do you think?"
The other generals were very supportive of Shi Mingbi's suggestion. After all, if there were no civil servants appointed by the imperial court to take over, these rough guys would have to allocate their energy to manage the place in addition to fighting, which gave them a headache just thinking about it.
"In that case, let's write a letter to the queen first."
-
At the same time, on the coast of the Indian Ocean, a fleet was sailing north with the flag of Dayu.
In addition to the navy stationed daily in Nanyang, the rest have been deployed to support the Annan War.
At this time, Dayu's fleet appeared in the Indian Ocean. There is no doubt that this fleet was led by Ming Shui who was sent to South America.
Ming Shui stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the long and narrow strait in the distance, and finally breathed out: "We are finally back!"
After crossing the Strait of Malacca, it is really not that far away from returning to Dayu.
At least they have a Nanyang base to rely on when they are tired and encounter difficulties.
They took a trip to South America this time and finally confirmed the route.
It will be considered a basis for Dayu's other fleets to run this route next time.
On the deck of one of the largest ships, Ming Shui stood on the bow of the ship with a telescope to observe Penang, which is at the forefront of the Strait of Malacca. This is a colony of Eagle Country. He must first observe the situation at the top of the city before passing by.
Just what he saw made him say "Eh" involuntarily: "Why is the flag of our Dayu hanging on the top of the city in Penang?"
He rubbed his eyes and confirmed again that it was indeed Dayu's flag.
Ming Shui handed the telescope to the deputy general next to him: "Come, come and see what's going on in Penang?"
The deputy general took the telescope and raised his eyes carefully: "Huh! General, why is the flag of our Dayu hanging on the top of Penang City?"
"Are you sure it's the flag of Dayu?"
"Sure!"
"Then I'm not dazzled. The flag of Dayu is hanging on the top of the city of Penang!" Mingshui was obviously a little excited at this moment. What does it mean that the flag of Dayu is hanging on the top of the city?
It shows that Penang is already their territory.
So Mingshui ordered: "Since it is already Dayu's territory, let's sail the fleet there. Everyone has not eaten fruits and vegetables for a long time, so we just need to enter the port to replenish some supplies!"
The fleet discovered something strange about Penang. Naturally, the guard at the head of Penang also discovered the situation at sea. After looking through the telescope, he found that the flag of Dayu was hanging on the bow of the ship. He was so excited that he almost lost his telescope.
"What's great! General Ming's fleet is back!"
This voice roared down, and the whole city was boiling.
Most of them were navy officers transferred from Luzon, and they naturally had a close relationship with Ming Shui. Not long ago, everyone was still talking about him and worrying about him.
Unexpectedly, he came back!
The fleet docked, and Ming Shui was surrounded by excited Pao Ze and entered the city.
"General Ming, are you in danger when you go to South America this time? What kind of place is South America?"
"General Ming, are there any indigenous people in South America? What do the indigenous people look like? Do they still have red hair, yellow hair and white skin?"
"General Ming, tell us quickly what happened to you during this voyage?"
Ming Shui pressed it with his hand and waited until they were quiet before saying: "You guys let me take a breath first, I have to drink some tea, right?"
"Yes, yes, let's take a walk. Let's go to the city lord's palace to drink tea and rest for a while."
Entering the City Lord's Mansion, Ming Shui and his party were at the gate and met General Zhang, the commander-in-chief of the Penang Army who was about to go out.
"Oh, I heard the soldiers at the top of the city reported that you have arrived. I was about to go to the city gate to pick you up. I didn't expect you to be so fast. Come on, please come in!" General Zhang turned sideways and let Ming Shui go first. "For more than a year, brother, I have been looking forward to your return every day. Now that you have finally returned safely, I think the Governor should also feel at ease!"
"It's not Mingshui's fault that I have made my brothers worry about me for more than a year." Mingshui cupped his fists to express his apology. "We brothers are not outsiders. We brothers will definitely have a good drink with you tonight."
The two of them walked while chatting. When they arrived at the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, General Zhang immediately arranged for people to prepare dinner.
After everyone sat down and drank half a cup of tea, Ming Shui asked the doubts he had been having along the way, "Brother Zhang, what's going on? How did Penang become our territory?"
General Zhang laughed after hearing his words: "Haha, brother, let me tell you, you have been gone for more than a year, but a lot of things have happened at our Nanyang naval base, especially recently."
"Oh, what should I say?" Ming Shui's appetite was suddenly whetted.
General Zhang immediately spoke with joy about the process of capturing the Strait of Malacca, "From now on, we don't need to worry when sailing through Malacca. The three colonies along the strait are now owned by our Dayu. However, it is unlucky for you to come back, Governor. Your Excellency obeyed the call and went to the Yi'an base to cooperate with Dayu's army to attack Annan."
Ming Shui was disappointed for a moment, but he immediately adjusted and said, "I have nothing to do here. The Governor should focus on the war."
The two talked about the situation in Southeast Asia. When the food and drinks were served, General Zhang could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked on behalf of everyone: "Mingshui, what kind of place is South America? What do their people look like? ?”
After witnessing Dayu’s prosperity and power, when talking about South America, we can only use the words primitive farming to describe it.
"It's a continent rich in resources and the scenery is beautiful. The people there look different from the Xiyi people, but we are a bit similar."
"Really? Like us? Are we the same ancestor as them?" General Zhang was surprised and did not forget to joke.
Unexpectedly, Ming Shui nodded seriously: "What you said is absolutely impossible."
General Zhang: "." No, I was just joking. Who wants to look like a foreigner?
"This time I brought back some South American indigenous people from South America and planned to bring them back to let them manage the trees and seeds brought back from South America."
After General Zhang was slightly surprised, he gave him a thumbs up: "You are still more thoughtful. They will definitely take better care of the local trees and seeds than we do."
"Yes, that's what I thought at the time." After a glass of wine, Ming Shui had an idea and said, "Now that the Malay Peninsula has been conquered, the climate here is somewhat similar to that of South America. You How about we plant some of the trees we bring back here?”
General Zhang didn't know what the climate was like in South America. After listening to his words, he felt a little hesitant: "Brother, you have to inform your empress about what to do with the trees and seeds you brought back from South America and let her make the decision. If We brothers make the decision without authorization, so if something goes wrong, we won’t be able to explain it to my empress!”
Ming Shui knew what he was worried about, "I will definitely report it to the empress, but the trees on the ship will always be worn out after we sailed on the sea for such a long time. What I mean is that if the withered trees are transplanted here, if they survive, It’s better, and I don’t have much regret if I didn’t survive.”
Unlike the two generals who drank, ate and chatted, the soldiers who went to South America together after a long voyage were now faced with Penang's warm robes and tables full of delicious food, especially green vegetables. They were already ravenous. Drooling.
Fortunately, they had good concentration and did not lose their composure. However, the smell of the food kept entering their nostrils, which really tested their concentration.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the food to be served. With an order, everyone spread their arms and ate happily.

"boom boom"
"boom blah blah"
Dayu's three troops and the navy stationed in Nanyang met in Chang'an Town on Jianxingfu Road. Artillery fire and gunfire sounded intensively over Chang'an Town.
The Chenshi Kingdom of Annan was making its final struggle. They were at the end of their rope and went up to the city wall to kill the enemy without fear of death. Their momentum was not inferior to that of Dayu's army.
It's just that we are at the end of the road, and no matter how hard we struggle, we will just add another nameless corpse.
After three days of strong attack, the Chenshi Kingdom finally came to an end and was destroyed by the troops and horses led by Sima Lu of Dayu.
It was also on this day that the memorial sent to Lingnan was delivered to the former Prince Qian's Mansion.
After reading the memorial, Li Jingfu couldn't hide the joy on his face, "The Annan barbarians are as cunning as foxes. During the Taizong period, they professed their vassalage to our Dayu and asked him to grant them vassal status. Later, when they saw that our power was weakening, they I took advantage of the opportunity and refused to pay tribute, and refused to recognize Dayu as my superior state. I deserved my current fate!"
After that, he handed the memorial to Xia Jing: "Xia, look at this good news, Sima Lu has lived up to our expectations! From now on, the Chen family's kingdom will become history. What a joy and congratulation!"
Xia Jing took the memorial and browsed it quickly, nodding: "My generals, Yu the Great, are invincible! Those who contributed to the expansion of territory for the Great Yu deserve a heavy reward!"
Li Jingfu was in a good mood. After listening to her words, he asked curiously: "How do you think the generals of the expedition should be rewarded?"
Xia Jing glanced at him and said with a faint smile: "This matter should give Xiao Wu a headache. Now we two just need to grasp the general direction. Don't worry too much about these trivial things. We will be exhausted!"
Li Jingfu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled with relief: "You are still transparent. You are right. Since you are already the Supreme Emperor, you must know how to let go."
Xia Jing put down the memorial and said seriously: "Annan has been captured now. The next step is to stabilize the situation, send officials to manage it, set up a guard station in Annan, and set up a government office. From now on, Annan will be changed to Annan Prefecture, and the areas under the jurisdiction of the following will be in accordance with the general rule. Yu implemented county management."
Li Jingfu frowned slightly: "Change it to the state capital? After conquering this area, didn't you want the third child to be enfeoffed as well?"
Xia Jing looked at him and frowned slightly: "When did I say that I would knock Annan down and give Lao San a fiefdom?"
"no?"
"Annan is not suitable to be used as a fiefdom for Lao San!" Annan is close to Lingnan and borders the territory of Dayu, so it is not suitable for enfeoffing vassal kings.What if a hundred years from now, future generations start fighting?
The fragrance is far away and the smell is near, so it is better to set up the fiefdom farther away to enfeoff the vassal king!
"Annan is not suitable, so where is it suitable?" Li Jingfu was worried, "You quietly arranged for the fourth child to live in the Malay Peninsula. What do you want the other brothers to think?"
Let's not talk about the eldest brother for now, he has burned out his brain, but the third eldest son is a good person, and the fourth eldest son has his own territory, but he does not. Who knows if he will think more or do some little tricks.
There is also the second child, the one who may not be smart, but likes to compare the most.Moreover, the second son's family has many men, and the territory is too small to arrange for his descendants.
Xia Jing rolled her eyes at him: "Everything must be done one by one. It's impossible for me to entrust Annan, which has hidden dangers, to them just to take care of their emotions, right?"
Li Jingfu knew that Xia Jing would not listen to his opinion, so he asked helplessly: "Then where are you going to seal the eldest, second, and third third?"
Xia Jing pointed to the world map hanging on the wall, pointed to one of the places and said, "It's not bad here, but I'm just afraid that my sons won't be able to endure this hardship!"
Li Jingfu looked at the map he pointed at and sat upright: "This territory is too big! It would be too wasteful to grant it to the third child. How about dividing it up and sealing the second child too?"
