Chapter 472 Westward
Qi Jin didn't take Ruan Huang seriously at all. Although it was a bit difficult to perform a hundred cavalry and a thousand people, Qi Jin felt it was no difficulty at all. Even if Ruan Huang had a city, he waved his hand to the people behind him: "Pull up the cannon, fire a round of cannons, and then attack the city."
For the generals of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of siege was completely undifficultivated and had no tactics at all.
The cannons broke through the city, attacked the city, and then destroyed it in one battle. The Ming Dynasty had long been used to such a scene.
This time was no exception. Ruan Huang was not even ruthless, and he could not reach the Ming Dynasty at all. The city was blown up by the Ming artillery. Before he could fight with the Ming army, the personnel lost a lot. When the city wall was blown open and the Ming army rushed in like a tide, Ruan Huang became even more desperate.
Facing the Ming army armed to the teeth, his subordinates were basically defeated at once and had no combat power at all.
Nanjing.
Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial handed in front of him, and his expression on his face was very calm. The Ming Dynasty has now entered a rapid development track, with no major problems and minor problems. He needs to make great efforts and thoughts to sort them out. He has been in Nanjing for half a year, and Zhu Yijun has been dealing with these things.
Starting from the Qinhuai River incident, Zhu Yijun severely cracked down on the officialdom and gentry in Jiangnan. More than half a year passed and it was still very effective.
"Your Majesty, Sichuan good news!" Wei Chao walked in with the memorial and came to Zhu Yijun respectfully and said.
Zhu Yijun reached out and took the memorial over. After looking through it, a smile appeared on Zhu Yijun's face. Liu Jing completely wiped out Yang Yinglong. This was indeed good news. Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and then said, "I sent an order to the Duke of Qian and Deng Zilong in Yunnan to send a large army to meet with Liu Jing."
"After the army gathered, it was preparing to attack Mangyingli, and at the same time passed the order to governors from Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou to abolish chieftains in these places and establish prefectures and counties."
After Wei Chao left, Zhu Yijun stretched his waist and his expression relaxed. Now Daming himself made himself feel very comfortable. Walking to the door of the hall, Zhu Yijun looked at Nanjing City not far away and sighed: "It seems that he can go back to Beijing this time."
A few days later, Zhu Yijun received the memorial again, and this time he sent it back from Jiaozhi.
After Qi Jin wiped out Ruan Huang, he met with Zhang Weixian in Shenglong Mansion, and the two of them rushed into Shenglong Mansion together.
After the army entered Shenglong Mansion, it can be said that it won consecutive battles. In half a month, it captured the Eastern Capital of Jiaozhi, which is later Hanoi. At the same time, it captured Li Weitan of the Li Dynasty and wiped out Zheng Jian. After the army advanced south, it completely destroyed the Li Dynasty. The entire Jiaozhi was handed over to Zhang Weixian, and Qi Jin took the people to Zhan Po.
After receiving this battle report, Zhu Yijun also issued an imperial edict, and re-established the Xuanfu Division in Jiaozhi.
At the same time, the Jiaozhi Admiral Office of the Ming Dynasty was established. The first admiral was Wu Weiying, and the chieftain system was officially implemented in Jiaozhi.
After arranging all this, Zhu Yijun chose to return to Beijing without waiting for the two armies to attack Mang Yingli, because if they don’t leave, winter will begin. Once the river is closed, Zhu Yijun can only take the land. Because of the small ice age, the winter of the Ming Dynasty is very cold, and winter comes very early.
When he returned to the capital again, Zhu Yijun was about to enjoy it. There was nothing to do for the time being, and there was no need to cause trouble.
When Zhu Yijun returned to Beijing and enjoyed it with peace of mind, the war in the southern border of the Ming Dynasty had already started, and the Ming army began to fight against Mang Yingli. However, there were not many people paying attention to this battle. The land in the south of the Yangtze River was better. The merchants followed the business, but the land in the north of the Yangtze River was completely uninterested.
Now the merchants in Jiangbei are all paying attention to the grasslands and the Japanese state of Korea, where they make a fortune.
In addition, there is the Northeast, which was also targeted by merchants from the Ming Dynasty. They are all places to make money, and countless people flock to them.
Zhu Yijun is happy about this, go, go all!
The people were willing to go and the court supported them. The Ming Dynasty had a great enthusiasm for going to the border to make money, but it was unknown how many people could make money in the end.
Zhu Yijun originally thought that he could calm down before the New Year, but what Zhu Yijun didn't expect was that someone would not let him calm down. Originally, Zhu Yijun felt that it was not obvious, but after more memorials were reported to Ningxia, Zhu Yijun found something was wrong, and basically all impeached Ningxia for illegal acts.
Some of those who did these illegal acts were local officials in Ningxia, while others were surrendered generals from Ningxia.
Zhu Yijun originally thought that Ningxia should have stabilized, but unexpectedly, there was a mess.
However, Zhu Yijun is not stupid either. He has been an emperor for twenty years. Zhu Yijun is very clear that many things are not enough to look at the surface. It is obvious that someone is pushing this matter. After looking at the Wei Chao who was serving him around, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Go to the Military Affairs Office and the Cabinet and bring all the recent memorials to me for Ningxia."
Although Zhu Yijun's actions are not big, the adjustment of the memorial is not a small matter, because it means that the emperor's extraordinary attention to a certain place or something.
The ministers fell into strange silence, all waiting for Zhu Yijun to make the final decision.
When all the memorials were moved back, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Please sort out these memorials, and then write down the origin of the person who submitted the memorials."
The eunuchs naturally did not dare to neglect them, so they quickly summarized the memorials. Zhu Yijun took the list and saw that he guessed it was indeed correct. Seventy-most of the people who submitted these memorials were from Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. They blamed them only in the same place, that is, the ancient Qin land, that is, the sphere of influence of the Shanxi merchants.
Obviously, this time the Shanxi merchants were promoting this matter, and they wanted to extend their hands.
With the pacification of the Northeast and the entire Mongolian grassland, the Oirat side will inevitably be affected, and the Shanxi merchants will naturally be greatly affected. In this case, the Shanxi merchants naturally have to find new directions. As a hard-working existence, the Shanxi merchants are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and dare to go to the west entrance, let alone the powerful Shanxi merchants now.
Theirs directly targeted the west of Ningxia, which was too far from the sea, so expanding the trade route westward is a very good choice.
