I am the king of the dead

"How many people in the court are waiting to see their father's prefecture, Annan, defeat and return, but they are not as unambiguous as they are right now. Are you also waiting to see a joke?"

Zhu Jianshen argued loudly with his face flushed, "I! No! Yes! Don't talk nonsense!"

"If uncle returns home without a feather, our Prince Ji's Mansion will be full of traitors, and they will all have to be killed to avoid future troubles! The ones who hope uncle wins the most are the whole family of Prince Ji's Mansion!"

"It turns out that the courtiers did not object to Annan, the county, because of this? I thought they were doing it for the sake of shame, or for the smooth flow of business routes to the West."

Zhu Jianji shook his head and said, "You overestimate them, so what do you think?"

Zhu Jianshen's complexion changed, and he frowned and said, "When my uncle Annan in the county, they will obstruct it? Isn't this going to happen?"

"No, let's go back and tell uncle."

Zhu Jianji stood upright and said proudly: "You are a father and you don't know, why should you tell your father? My father's temperament of being lenient in anticipating the enemy and strict in anticipating himself, I am afraid that even the civil and military of the whole dynasty knows it."

"They didn't dare to cause trouble, they could only silently pray that Li Yue's military power would be as tough as their mouths."

Zhu Jianji and Zhu Jianshen headed towards the Lantern City, the young man still liked such excitement.

And after Zhu Qiyu received the courtiers on the ground in Nanya, he looked at the map of Jiaozhi Kanyu in front of him. On it was the land of Longxing, Tsinghua, where Liyue usurped the dynasty.

Thanh Hoa is the western capital, Thang Long Citadel is the eastern capital, and Thanh Hoa is also the place where the Le Viet dynasty made its fortune.

Yuan Bin left after meeting the saint, but not to the Wa Kingdom, but to Jiaozhi. Liu Pu was an old fritter, and Tang Xing stared at him alone, so Yuan Bin was a little worried.

Wa country has the team he left behind, so there will be no problems.

Those who can be stared at by Yuan Bin are all sent to Jieyuan.

When Yuan Bin arrived at Thang Long City by boat, the Spring Festival had already passed. In Thang Long City, there was no Spring Festival atmosphere at all, and there was only endless depression, like a ghost town, full of desolation.

Yuan Bin looked at Tang Xing and asked, "Is this Shenglong City so dilapidated and desolate?"

Tang Xing shook his head, and said rather helplessly: "Originally, it smelled a little bit bad, but it was still a city surrounded by fifty miles, and it was still a bit popular. It was lively and lively, and it was interesting. Now, even this kind of popularity is gone. "

"They all ran away. First, the wandering people in the grass city of the city. When they heard that there was another fight in the city, they immediately scattered and fled. Later, this Li Yimin was not a person, and he was recruiting young people everywhere. Not to mention the outer city, even the people in the inner city were there. run."

"Liu Pu can be regarded as a great benevolent person. He has been persuading Li Yimin not to be so tyrannical. Everyone has run away. The Shenglong Army can still be built? Even if it is built, how can we march and deploy the army?"

"Liu Pu, he really tried his best."

From Tang Xing's point of view, Liu Pu just wanted to support his troops, and Li Yimin didn't give him this chance. A group of soldiers with no will were just bandits.

Even the stench of the city was much weaker. The city with a population of more than 50 people had lost half of it in just over a month, and Tang Xing was still a little uncomfortable for a while.

Yuan Bin said strangely: "Commander Tang, I still remember that when we were in Nanya, when His Majesty personally conquered the rebellion, no one ran away from Nanya, and even many people ran to the riverside to see His Majesty's boat crossing the river." , but also to watch the army enter the city, it can be said that wherever they go, the people wholeheartedly welcome them.”

Tang Xing said with emotion: "That's not because the people know that His Majesty's army is the king's teacher, so they won't do anything to the people, so naturally they won't be afraid."

Chapter 735 An Annan, Two Kings

The Beijing Camp of the Ming Dynasty could indeed be regarded as a master of the king. This was accomplished jointly by His Majesty's strict requirements, high treatment, and the concubine generals and commanders of the emperor's disciples.

However, Annan, who called himself Dayue and called himself Little Daming, was devastated by the Shenglong Army and Qinghua Army.

During this time of farming, Tang Xing and Yuan Bin did not see any farming scene in the fields outside the city, and weeds were overgrown.

Tang Xing said rather seriously: "After the fire broke out at the beginning of the month and Li Sicheng fled, Li Yimin began to speed up the preparation of the Rising Dragon Army. This immediately started to recruit civilian husbands, and then began to rob the people of the grass market in the outer city for food."

"How to recruit the peasants to the sea pool as soon as possible? Just use the food! After the food is taken away, the common people have to go to the sea pool to dredge the sea pool and build the palace."

Daming is also currently engaged in large-scale construction projects. There are two large-scale projects that use work as relief. One is to level the official post road and harden the road surface, and the other is to dredge the Yangtze River waterway for a total of [-] miles.

Daming's work-for-relief is a relief of money and food, and it is also adhering to the placement of the people under the Winter Order and losing their livelihood.

Only then did Tang Xing know that this recruiting of civilian husbands and large-scale construction projects turned out to be such a recruiting method!

Take away the food that belongs to you, and then you can work to get back what belongs to you, barely alive.

Yuan Bin stopped and looked in the direction of the city wall. There was a hole under the city wall, which was quite small.

A rickety old man with cloudy eyes, dark skin full of gullies, leaning bony by the hole, took out a moldy rice cake wrapped in sackcloth, tore off half of it, and handed it to the The same thin child behind him.

The old man looked at half of the rice cake in his hand, swallowed hard, wrapped it in sackcloth, put it back into the cave, and leaned against the city wall.

The child looked like he was five or six years old, biting hard on the hardened rice cakes and devouring them hungrily.

Yuan Bin watched this scene with a frown, and a surge of anger rose in his heart and said: "If benevolence and righteousness are not enforced, the world will rebel against each other. Since Li Yimin has grabbed food and forced the people to go to Haichi, why does he want to extort and extort money? This look?!"

Tang Xing sneered, shook his head and said: "Li Yimin didn't make it at all. Li Sicheng worked closely with Li Yimin. After hearing about it, he took advantage of the night to tell the people of Caoshi. scattered."

"These two brothers are ruthless people. They started to directly send troops to rob the fleeing people. The people's food was robbed. Here they built the Shenglong Army, and there built the Qinghua Army."

When Yuan Bin heard this, he couldn't help saying with emotion: "These two are not good things."

No matter who sees it, Li Sicheng has the style of the hero of the Annan Kingdom, but at this moment, Yuan Bin will no longer look at Li Sicheng highly.

"This is the imperial decree to confer Li Yimin." Yuan Bin came here this time with a mission, and the conferment of the imperial decree was one of Yuan Bin's missions.

"At this time, Li Yimin and Li Sicheng are equally powerful, and they are also evenly matched. Doesn't this canonization make Li Yimin completely famous?" Tang Xing asked strangely when he saw the scroll of yellow silk edict.

Yuan Bin said with a smile: "There is also an imperial decree. It is for Li Sicheng to go to Qinghua. Aren't the two brothers going to fight? One for each, fair and just."

Tang Xing blinked, and then said helplessly: "This plan is very poisonous, who came up with the idea?"

Yuan Bin smacked his lips, and said in amazement: "Hu Shangshu said that in the third year of Xuande, the first emperor said: Annan is a matter of self-determination. Since they are divided into two factions, and they have a clear-cut banner to fight for the throne, Hu Wei said that they are all descendants of Annan's Li family. , is the state affairs of An Nanguo, and naturally An Nanguo decides for himself."

"These scholars..."

Tang Xing also said with emotion: "You really are a scholar."

Yuan Bin and Tang Xing walked towards Shenglong Imperial City, shaking their heads as they walked.

Within Shenglong Imperial City, even the people in the inner city were in a hurry, there was no business in the hundred markets on the street, and the eyes were full of desolation.

But the sergeants on the city wall held spears in their hands, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and there were ballistas on the top of the city. Those cold arrowheads were Li Yimin's confidence to act against them.

Facing the officers and soldiers, the common people can only lament that they have fled in a hurry and are unarmed, so how can they resist?

Yuan Bin finally came to Taiwei Mansion and met Liu Pu in the main hall.

"I've seen an angel." Liu Pu was extremely respectful. When Liu Pu learned that it was Yuan Bin who came, he shivered subconsciously.

Yuan Bin glanced at Liu Pu, and said calmly: "Your Majesty sent someone here just to watch you. If you are still obsessed with your obsession, run away. You will definitely not be able to escape."

Yuan Bin said this to Liu Pu from the standpoint of his strength and previous fierce combat power.

Tang Xing didn't feel anything at all, but Liu Pu was already startled with fright.

run?

Who can escape from Yuan Bin, who is seductive and desperate for his life?

Yuan Bin looked at the majestic Taiwei Mansion, shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no spring plowing in Annan this year, and His Majesty asked for 210% more grain in Songjiang Mansion, that is, [-] million shi of grain, which is unlikely to be available. "

But Liu Pu immediately denied it and said: "If you want to get it, your Majesty needs as much as you want. Now that the war is approaching, those landlords and manor owners will act on hearing the wind. They are the most feared group of people."

"Your Majesty will have as much food as you want."

Liu Pu has been in Annan Kingdom for a long time, and knows Annan very well.

It is obvious that Annan needs food the most, but the landlords in Annan are still selling food to Daming in order to cash in and run away.

These landlords will not rest with the country and vow to live and die with Dai Viet. When the war comes, their first thought is to run fast.

Just like when the Oala army forced the capital, the landlords in Shanxi and North Zhili fled.

Yuan Bin was slightly taken aback, but then he was relieved, what Liu Pu said was right.

"What is the combat strength of the Rising Dragon Army?" Yuan Bin asked.

Liu Pu said with a sad face: "Oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and those grown in Huaibei are oranges. The leaves are similar, but the taste is different."

"What's the reason? Water and soil are different."

"The military system I run in Shenglong City is no different from that of the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Army, but the gap is a world of difference. Its combat power is as weak as that of a savage."

Liu Pu discussed the Thang Long Army's system, scale, military discipline, and training level in detail. Under the same system, it produced two completely different results.

"This is capable of fighting? Compared with the [-]th Regiment Battalion in Nanya, it is still not enough." After listening to this, Yuan Bin expressed his own experience.

After Yuan Bin and others meet, he will definitely go to investigate in person. If Liu Pu is lying, it will be too easy to expose.

After hearing this, Liu Pu's face also turned dark. The last one who spoke so nicely was Tang Xing, and here comes another master who can't afford to offend, and he also spoke so nicely.

This good day is obviously still to come.

Daming's system is only suitable for Daming. In Annan, especially in the hands of Li Yimin, it will naturally change.

When Yuan Bin and Liu Pu were discussing the situation in Annan, Tang Xing kept silent. He kept staring at Yuan Bin's waist with his eyes fixed. It wasn't until the two of them finished talking that Tang Xing pointed to Yuan Bin's waist and said: " What is this?"

"Green gun." Yuan Bin skillfully opened the gun bag, skillfully played with the gun, and handed it to Tang Xing.

Tang Xing played with this green flintlock handgun, he couldn't put it down.

"Your Majesty will reward you with two types, one long and one short." Yuan Bin said with a smile.

After Tang Xing heard about it, he was even more envious, this thing is exquisite, who doesn't like it among martial arts practitioners?There are also two styles, one long and one short.

But this was rewarded to Yuan Bin by His Majesty.

Yuan Bin said quite calmly: "Fifty long and short each, Your Majesty asked Yuan to use it."

"You face! Put away that face of yours!" Tang Xing handed the Qingxi flintlock pistol to Yuan Bin, and said cursingly, "Take back your face of being a villain!"

What to read, what to take care of Liu Pu, Yuan Bin came all the way to show off to him the green spear rewarded by His Majesty!

Tang Xing was sullen, while Yuan Bin was all smiles.

Yuan Bin rested in Taiwei's Mansion for a few days before entering the Forbidden City and reading out the imperial decree.

Liu Pu reported the news of the angel's visit, and the entire Li Dynasty showed the greatest enthusiasm to welcome the angel to Thang Long City.

There are lanterns and festoons everywhere, the entire Shenglong City is covered with red silk cloth, and it is cleaned everywhere. Even the stench permeating the Shenglong City is much smaller. The red silk was spread from Taiwei's Mansion to the Forbidden City.

On the day when the decree was announced, countless people were even arranged to cheer along the road, but it is not known how much truth there is in it.

Yuan Bin drove around the inner city for a while in an elephant cart before rushing from Taiwei's Mansion to the Forbidden City.

In the ardent expectation of the civil and military officials of the Li Yue Dynasty, Yuan Bin read out the edict to confer Li Yimin as the King of Annan.

With the sound of gongs and drums and the long sounding of horns, the civil and military forces of the Li Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty returned home facing north, prostrating three times and knocking down five times to express their respectful heart.

Li Yimin was overjoyed. At this critical moment, he was recognized by Daming. For him, the situation is very good!

"Angel, you have worked hard all the way. Tonight, we will host a banquet for Angel. Please don't shirk!" Li Yimin happily invited Yuan Bin to the dinner.

Yuan Bin did not refuse. As for the canonization edict for Li Sicheng, he also went to Qinghua City. As expected, both parties will declare tomorrow that it has been approved by the Emperor of Ming!

They all won, which means they didn't win at all?

Who lost?Li Chao lost.

This Li Dynasty, which was already in danger, added a fire, and it was afraid that it would burn more and more vigorously, until the filth of this world was completely burned away.

It was night, and the lights in the Forbidden City were brightly lit. In order to make the angel feel at home, Li Yimin spent a lot of money to throw a banquet.

There are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, countless fine wines, and beauties are by your side.

The sound of silk and bamboo continued, and the dancers vigorously shook their bodies, showing their enchanting figures.

Looking at such a lively scene, Yuan Bin suddenly remembered those old people and children who were starving when they entered the city a few days ago.

The old man is unable to work, and the child is only five or six years old.

This extravagant feast of feasting and feasting, and the desperation of the old man tremblingly distributing the last bit of rations to his children happened at the same time, separated by a city wall.

The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road. It turned out to be such a human tragedy.

Yuan Bin could even understand those courtiers who used these words all day long to persuade His Majesty to be merciful. Only when such a tragedy was right in front of them could they feel that kind of cold cruelty.

Yuan Bin was used to seeing life and death, and had seen such absurd scenes in the Wa Kingdom, so he could chat with Annan's courtiers with a normal expression.

Annan's monarchs and ministers don't care about the life and death of Annan's people, so why should Yuan Bin be angry.

"Angel drinks." A beauty spoke to Yuan Bin tenderly. In order to take care of the great angel's aesthetics, it was obvious that this beauty didn't paint her teeth black, and her makeup wasn't too gaudy, but rather weak.

The appearance is quite superior, and the way he talks and behaves is quite a model of a lady.

This beauty came from a famous family, she is the daughter of the head of the Zheng family, and the Zheng family originally came from Guangzhou.

In Annan, countless women who can't reach by jumping feet, at the wine table, are extremely flattering to curry favor with the envoys of Ming Dynasty. This woman is willing to accept it as a concubine. There is no matter of honor.

But Yuan Bin shook his head and said: "A certain drinker can't handle it, so a beauty can drink it by herself."

"The general is smiling, and I am not good at drinking, but when I see the general, I can't help it." The beauty was shy.
