Chapter 1054: Poor and Martial, Poor and Martial

The criteria for Great Ming to judge barbarians were mainly judged from the culture.

After the fall of Malacca City, Rui De chose to die as a martyr. Although he came to Great Ming as an enemy, Great Ming did not humiliate him. The Emperor even specially granted an official burial and specially sent people to understand his life and perfect his epitaph.

Rui De did not belong to the barbarians in culture. Similarly, Maria, who chose to die as a martyr, did not belong to the barbarians in culture either. Therefore, Zhu Yijun felt that giving the treatment of an official burial was already very high.

But the situation of Rui and Maria was still different.

If simply dividing camps, Rui was an envoy of the Goa Viceroy's Office. He fought for the Goa Viceroy's Office all his life and was in the enemy's camp. Maria was the Great Pastor conferred by the Emperor and was in the Great Ming camp.

No matter what purpose Maria had, her actions and her martyrdom finally greatly expanded the influence of Great Ming.

The ministers naturally thought that she should be given higher courtesy, but being buried in the Jinshan Mausoleum as a meritorious minister of the reform was a bit too high. Not only did the ministers think so, but even Zhu Yijun, the Emperor, had this idea.

The Ministry of Rites began to frequently discuss the matter, seeking a solution.

Some thought she could be buried with the Imperial Mausoleum and enjoy incense for generations, because the Xiongnu prince Jin Ridi of the Han Dynasty became a minister of the country after surrendering to the Great Han, and after his death, his posthumous title was "Jing," and he was buried in the Maoling Mausoleum.

According to Maria's contribution to expanding the influence of Great Ming, it was not impossible to be buried in the Jinshan Mausoleum.

But another part fiercely refuted this point of view. The Jinshan Mausoleum was solemn and sacred. It was absolutely impossible to bury barbarians there. Once this precedent was opened, there would be endless troubles. Most importantly, Maria was buried for the light of Falanxi, not for Great Ming. If she was buried in the Jinshan Mausoleum, it would be difficult to convince the public.

It was really difficult to convince the public. If they had to do this, go and persuade His Majesty!

His Majesty was not easy to persuade, and his colleagues were not easy to persuade either. Those officials of the Ministry of Rites who were very persistent in ideological colonization and believed that they should increase the restraint on this tool finally chose to agree with the opponents' method.

The Ministry of Rites finally decided to bury Maria separately outside the Jinshan Mausoleum by the ceremony of an overseas barbarian king.

If there were other barbarians in the future who made important contributions to the pioneering and development of Great Ming, or if those overseas barbarian kings in the capital wanted to be buried, they could also be buried there.

After all, there were also several barbarians in the Academy of Physical Sciences who served as Doctors of Physical Sciences, and they injected very powerful vitality into the development of Great Ming.

Zhu Yijun agreed with this plan, because this was also the ancestral law. The ancestral law was strong just because of this point: everything could find a precedent.

In the 6th year of Yongle, the King of Boni (now Brunei), Manaresana, led a delegation of 150 people to Great Ming to pay tribute. He suddenly fell ill and died in the Tongguan Hall in Nanjing. Emperor Chengzu Wen issued an edict to bury him in Shizigang and built a sacred path archway, a stele pavilion, and a tomb mound.

In the 15th year of Yongle, the Eastern King of Su Lu (now Mindanao), Paduka Batara, came to Great Ming to pay tribute. He fell ill and died in the North Camp of Dezhou on his way back. According to the old system, he was buried in the North Camp of Dezhou. The prince and the princess kept vigil for the old king, and their descendants changed their surnames to "An" and "Wen," becoming people of Great Ming. To this day, there are still descendants.

Great Ming gave Maria the last bit of decency by burying her with the ceremony of an overseas barbarian king. This specification was very high, but it did not rise to the height of a meritorious minister of the reform.

"The expenses for the official burial and repairs should be borne by the Great Brightness Sect, so let Lisbon, Portugal, bear all the expenses." Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial of the Ministry of Rites and pondered the reason why Gao Qiyu did this.

The Ministry of Works estimated the expenses, which was about 3,000 silver. In the future, repairs would not need 50 silver a year. For Great Ming, this expense was a small amount of money, but the Ministry of Rites specially emphasized that this expense should be borne by the Great Brightness Sect, not Great Ming.

In addition to passing the year-end audit of the Ministry of Revenue and calculating every account clearly, this was also a posture. Great Ming was an existence higher than the Great Brightness Sect, so it should be the believers who paid, not Great Ming. This posture was very important.

People are sometimes very strange. A little rice is grace, but too much is hatred. Don't give too much, otherwise people will not know what is good.

Great Ming had already bestowed wisdom on the Great Brightness Sect. This was something that money could not buy, so don't give any extra preferential treatment. Only in this way could the relationship last long.

Zhu Yijun finally approved Gao Qiyu's memorial. In terms of ritual and law, the Ministry of Rites was quite professional.

This specification was neither high nor low, higher than what the Emperor initially set, and lower than being buried in the Jinshan Mausoleum, which conformed to Maria's identity. Moreover, the Ministry of Rites approved the posthumous title given by the Portuguese Heavenly Group: Saint of Light.

That is to say, the Ministry of Rites did not include Maria in Great Ming's posthumous title system.

It was not because Maria was a barbarian. Jin Ridi was still a Xiongnu prince, and he still had a posthumous title in the end. The reason why she was not given a posthumous title was because Maria died for Falanxi.

The second thing and the third thing, the establishment of the Western Commercial Alliance and the use of force against Annan, in essence, were both moves by Great Ming to expand its financial path. This matter could not be rushed, and of course, it could not be delayed.

On the 7th day of the sixth month of the 22nd year of Wanli, the Great Ming Emperor convened a special court meeting in the West Flower Hall of the Imperial Study of the Huangpu River Palace to calculate the matters of Western pioneering. Zhang Juzheng, who wrote the sequel to *Journey to the West*, and Qi Jiguang, who was fishing in leisure, were also invited to participate in this court meeting.

The first court meeting did not go smoothly. The use of force against Annan did not pass the court meeting smoothly. The Ministry of Revenue was the main war faction, and the Ministry of Rites was the main peace faction.

Grand Secretary Shen Li accompanied the entourage south. He held a very clear attitude of opposition toward using military force against Annan, which was also the opinion of some ministers in the court.

At the court meeting, the main war faction was still the majority, but it did not exceed two-thirds. According to Zhang Juzheng's *Memorial on Five Matters* calculated that year, it did not pass the court meeting.

In fact, at this time, Zhu Yijun could completely decide on his own. If deciding on his own was too direct, he could also enable the Western Study Walkers to replace the obstructive cabinet and directly use force against Annan.

If the expedition failed, the Western Study Walkers would be abolished and become the past;

If successful, Shen Li, this upright and unyielding minister and contributor to the reforms, would not be in an overly awkward position. He would still be a Grand Secretary; it is just that the merit of pacifying Annan would have nothing to do with him.

When the cabinet and the Emperor's opinions were at odds, the Emperor finding a way to bypass the cabinet was a relatively gentle means of giving each other face.

Try it, success is naturally the best, and failure will not cause too much harm.

But Zhu Yijun still attempted to persuade Shen Li, without declaring that his imperial will was already decided, nor did he completely bypass him. Of course, Zhu Yijun was not afraid that Shen Li would disagree and then unite with other ministers to obstruct the war effort later; Shen Li was an upright and unyielding minister, and he could not do such a thing.

The cabinet was, after all, the ministers in the court, and the name was correct and the words were smooth. If it was bypassed like this, the cabinet ministers would be in name only.

"Since the Wanli Reforms, the Great Ming has been using military force year after year, without a single day of peace. There are already signs of being bellicose. As a Grand Secretary, I cannot sit idly by and, like other ministers, ignore, disregard, and ask no questions, blindly flattering the Emperor to seek a moment of peace." Shen Li was summoned alone by the Emperor, yet he did not change his opinion and stated his reasons.

Poor and martial—poor means exhausting everything, martial means reckless and reckless.

This has never been a good word. Once the imperial court gets used to using force, pioneering, and conquest to solve problems, it will use force more recklessly, go further and further on this road, and finally, turn the entire world into a war machine, and then destroy itself in constant wars.

History has proven countless times that the final ending of being poor and martial is only self-destruction.

Very early on, Qi Jiguang told the Emperor that victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers. There is no one who is a constant winner and can always win. Military means have always been the last resort.

Forgetting war is dangerous, loving war is bound to perish.

"The Grand Secretary's words are reasonable." Zhu Yijun affirmed that Shen Li's dissenting opinion was very pertinent and beneficial to the Great Ming. Opposing the Emperor did not mean that Shen Li was wrong. Zhu Yijun was very overbearing, but he was never the kind of overbearing that could not tolerate dissenting opinions.

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly and said: "But now Great Ming has reached this step."

"Therefore, we should rein in at the precipice even more." Shen Li immediately replied: "Not letting the myriad people fall into the quagmire of war is benevolence, it is righteousness."

Fighting a war creates killing sins, which is definitely not a good thing. The key is that this time Great Ming's use of force against Annan was a bit too deliberate, almost exactly the same as the Yongle period, finding an excuse to fight Annan.

Finding an excuse to fight, conquering it, ruling for twenty years, and in the end, it was still a bamboo basket to fetch water.

Wan Wenqing, this vicious scholar, demanded that the four major families arrive at Great Ming for investigation, which was clearly forcing the four major families to deliberately breach the contract and create an excuse for war, which was really too deliberate.

The King's army must have a reasonable reason. Only by being famous can one not be unfavorable. Qi Jiguang repeatedly said in *War Theory* that the soldiers must be fully aware of why they are fighting.

"Then what if we launch the second war to pacify the Japanese pirates now?" Zhu Yijun was somewhat curious about Shen Li's attitude toward war.

"That is acceptable. I will not oppose it, and I will even personally draft the manifesto for Your Majesty." Shen Li answered quickly.

Destroying Japan is a completely reasonable expedition, not poor and martial, reckless and reckless. The killing sins created by the Japanese pirates still make Great Ming scarred to this day, and this scar has not yet healed.

Great Ming, or China, has never deliberately denied failure. A mistake is a mistake, and pain is pain. Any cover-up is the act of a coward. Remember the hatred, ten generations of hatred? A hundred generations of hatred can still be reported.

Poor and martial—one is poor, exhausting everything; one is martial, reckless and reckless, launching unreasonable wars.

"This time it is indeed a bit urgent." Zhu Yijun did not deny that this time the use of force was indeed utilitarian, a bit too strong.

On the one hand, it was to facilitate the establishment of the Western Commercial Alliance. On the other hand, it was to show off its power overseas, that is, to beat Annan, let the Western Commercial Alliance know its power, and not dare to have disobedience, and the alliance reached must be earnestly fulfilled.

Finally, it was the internal cause. The Emperor and other ministers were pursuing the revival. Yongle opened the seas, walking on two legs: Annan and Lu Song. By the Wanli period, this one leg of Lu Song had been jumping for more than twenty years.

If Annan is not turned from a subordinate territory into a prefecture, it is difficult to righteously tell the ancestors that the Wanli Reform has stabilized the country, settled the country, and revived Great Ming.

For any war, the Emperor needs a sufficiently clear, reasonable, and righteous reason to persuade ministers, court officials, hundreds of officials, and the people to participate in this war and support this war with all their strength, so that they can be invincible in the war. Even if they are defeated, the country will not lose everything.

Qi Jiguang said this very clearly in *War Theory*. He stated very clearly in the article *Unrighteousness* that the final failure of an unrighteous war.

The main reason for the war could not even persuade most people in the country, so how could they win the political victory after the military victory?

Wars that only achieve military victory but cannot achieve political victory should not be launched.

First of all, among the ministers in the court, the reason for this campaign could not convince the ministers led by Shen Li, which meant it might not convince the soldiers, nor could it convince the myriad people of the Great Ming. After the Wanli Reforms, the state of Annan behaved a bit like Joseon, giving no opportunities.

Zhu Yijun had no intention of making things overly difficult for Shen Li. As a Grand Secretary, Shen Li could have completely followed the crowd and chosen to protect his own position at such a time, loudly shouting for war, but Shen Li stood out to call for reining in at the precipice.

Shen Li himself did not need to participate in the war, did not need to go to the front lines, did not need to manufacture killings himself, and because he was a Grand Secretary, his family members did not need to participate in the war either.

If they won, Shen Li, as a Grand Secretary, would also be a beneficiary. If they lost, it would be a collective decision-making error, and it would have nothing to do with him.

In fact, from the perspective of private interest, there was no need for Shen Li to stand out and shout this, but he said it anyway.

If Zhu Yijun made things difficult for Shen Li because of this, that would be the manifestation of being muddled. Whether he was upright or just opposing for the sake of opposing, Zhu Yijun, as the Emperor, could still distinguish that.

The transcending cycle can be established, and China can periodically revive with a resurrection armor, precisely because when someone needs to stand up, someone will really stand up, and someone can stand up.

After Zhu Yijun let Shen Li leave, he summoned Qi Jiguang, Chen Lin, and Luo Shangzhi.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live, long live, long live Your Majesty." Luo Shangzhi's previous audience was in public, this was the first time he was summoned privately, and he bowed very respectfully.

"Exempt from courtesy, sit, sit." Zhu Yijun signaled Qi Jiguang, Chen Lin, and Luo Shangzhi to sit down.

Qi Jiguang was already old, and Luo Shangzhi was still young. Whenever he saw Luo Shangzhi, Qi Jiguang was very gratified, because Luo Shangzhi was not a general who grew up in the invasion of the Northern Barbarians and the Japanese pirates, but a new generation, which represented that Great Ming's army had successors.

"General Luo has returned from a long expedition. I have set up a banquet in the Ten Kings Hall for General Luo to comfort his long labor." Zhu Yijun said with a smile. The banquet in the Ten Kings Hall, the grand banquet, the process that should be there, the courtesy that should be there, and the respect that should be there, none could be less.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Luo Shangzhi bowed again to thank him.

Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "General Luo, how is my brother who doesn't worry about me in the Jinshan Kingdom? His letters are all reporting good news but not bad news, fearing that his mother will worry about him, so he doesn't dare to write in such detail. Can he stand firm in the Jinshan Kingdom?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Prince Lu looks playful on the surface, but in fact, there is a strength in his bones. I think Prince Lu can stand firm." Luo Shangzhi told three things, all of which were the reasons why he thought Zhu Yijun could stand firm.

Zhu Yijun was actually a stubborn person, very stubborn. Knowing that liking beauties from all nations would be pointed at by thousands of people, Zhu Yijun still played; knowing that the public trial system would definitely be criticized by scholar-officials, he still wanted to do it; knowing that the Jinshan Kingdom was so far away, even the Imperial Brother proposed a way to steal the sky and change the sun, but Zhu Yijun still went.

On the surface, it was stubborn, but in reality, there was a courage of "even if there are thousands of people, I will go" in his bones.

Zhu Yijun went to the Jinshan Kingdom to suffer, for the sake of Great Ming's interests, and to let the opening of the seas go on for a long time.

The first thing, Zhu Yijun himself knew how to farm. After arriving in the Jinshan Kingdom, he farmed himself. This point could also be considered as learning from the Emperor, but he learned it quite well. At least the potato seeds brought by Great Ming merchant ships were not wasted by Zhu Yijun, and he even established the Jinshan Kingdom's own killing-green fire room to detoxify the potato seedlings.

Zhu Yijun didn't let every family in the Jinshan Kingdom have a chicken in the pot, but he let everyone who arrived in the Jinshan Kingdom eat potatoes.

The second thing, Zhu Yijun began to sharpen his blade, which was a manifestation of responsibility. He handled all sizes of affairs himself. While being at ease, Zhu Yijun also practiced horses and soldiers every day. Every soldier in the Jinshan Navy knew Zhu Yijun, and Zhu Yijun also knew every soldier in the navy.

When Luo Shangzhi returned to Great Ming, 124 soldiers voluntarily stayed in the Jinshan Kingdom and became Zhu Yijun's tooth soldiers. These 120 soldiers and junior officers were Zhu Yijun's most important reliance in military affairs in the future.

The third thing, Zhu Yijun paid great attention to the relationship with Great Ming and set serving Great Ming as the basic national policy of the Jinshan Kingdom. This choice was quite smart.

This time was the closest time between Great Ming and the Jinshan Kingdom. The Emperor was the elder brother of the Jinshan Kingdom Lord. If this basic national policy could not be determined at this time, it would not be possible to do so in the future.

In the Zhou Dynasty, almost all the enfeoffed princes were descendants of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou. The result was what Li Si said: "The descendants of King Wen and King Wu of Zhou were enfeoffed, and there were many of the same surname. Then they were distant, attacking each other like enemies, the princes killed each other, and the Son of Heaven of Zhou could not stop it."

Now they were still close, but the next generation would gradually become estranged. After a long time, they would even become like enemies.

Therefore, for the Jinshan Kingdom, the most important relationship was not with Mexico, Peru, or Chile, which were close at hand, but with Great Ming, which was far away in the sky.

These three things proved that Zhu Yijun had the ability, responsibility, and courage to become the pioneering master of the Jinshan Kingdom, especially the last thing, which represented that Zhu Yijun could distinguish between light and heavy. This point was very important.

State affairs are in the four words "light and heavy, urgent and slow." This is a direct manifestation of ability.

"General Luo, do you think this use of force against Annan belongs to an unrighteous war?" Zhu Yijun asked a very important question. He hoped that Luo Shangzhi would tell the truth. He was the expedition general and vanguard commander of this time. All the hard battles were fought by him.

"I think it is a bit too hasty." Luo Shangzhi deliberated and deliberated. He had just returned from a long expedition. These words might make him lose the position of Regional Commander of the Nanyang Navy, even if this was a personnel appointment that had long been determined, but before the imperial decree was issued, everything had variables.

"What does General Chen think?" Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Lin and asked for Chen Lin's opinion.

Chen Lin pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the navy is Your Majesty's sharp sword, and the military order is like a mountain."

Chen Lin's words seemed to bypass the topic. As long as His Majesty gave the order, the navy would definitely fight bravely, but he actually answered His Majesty's question. If it were a righteous war and the reasons were sufficient, he would not bypass the topic.

In Chen Lin's view, it was still a bit hasty. Cabinet Minister Wang Jiaping catalyzed this war for political capital of the Western Commercial Alliance.

Zhu Yijun did not ask for Qi Jiguang's opinion. Qi Jiguang had no way to stop the Emperor from using force. He was a great general, and all he could do was support.

The Great Ming Emperor held a grand banquet in the Ten Kings Hall and publicly read the appointment of Luo Shangzhi. Luo Shangzhi would stay in Songjiang Prefecture for half a month, and then go south to the Nanyang Navy to serve as the Regional Commander. Zhu Yijun did not break his promise on this matter. The Regional Commander was not a reward for the long expedition.

According to the military achievements of the Eastern Expedition, Luo Shangzhi was already qualified to be the Regional Commander of the Nanyang Navy. Lou Hu, the first killing star of the Western White Tiger, was definitely not called for nothing. Luo Shangzhi's long expedition to the Jinshan Kingdom was the Emperor's favoritism to take care of his own brother's enfeoffment.

As for the use of force against Annan, Zhu Yijun did not convene a second court meeting. If he forcibly launched a war, wouldn't he be learning from the muddled Felipe in his old age?

The expedition to England was the worst move Felipe made in his life, and it even ruined his lifelong reputation.

Just when Zhu Yijun intended to give up, a piece of news arrived in Songjiang Prefecture with the hydrofoil sailing ship of the Maritime Defense Inspection Office, causing a huge uproar!

The Annan country blocked Da Nang, did not allow Great Ming merchant ships to stay, station, supply, or purchase goods in Da Nang, and even allowed any Annan people to attack Great Ming merchant ships.

"This scholar is really vicious. Even Wan Wenqing, who likes to visit brothels, is so vicious." Zhu Yijun looked at the military report in front of him and fell into silence.

He was about to give up because the reasons were not sufficient and it was easy to fight an unrighteous war, but the Annan four major families lost their self-restraint.

Qi Jiguang honestly said that war sometimes depends on patience. Whoever has no patience falls into the trap of unrighteousness.

Suddenly, the reason for using force was reasonable, sufficient, and clear. It was the Annan people who started it first.

The Annan four major families, after receiving the official document for investigation in February, pretended to agree, discussed countermeasures, discussed back and forth, and finally, under high pressure, made a wrong decision, started first, and expelled and attacked Great Ming merchant ships.

Suddenly, this aroused the Japanese pirate trauma syndrome inside and outside Great Ming.

The purpose of the Great Ming Navy's establishment was for the peace of the sea. Just after pressing the Japanese pirates down, it turned out that the Annan country also had this tendency. How could this be? If the danger was not eliminated in the bud, how could Great Ming be peaceful?

Many people involved in the killing sins caused by the Japanese pirates in Jiangnan were still alive.

This policy, which was like a privateer license, issued by Annan, immediately caused a huge uproar. The sound of asking for war was endless, and even the various miscellaneous newspapers that liked to be sarcastic were a bit broken this time.

Even several powerful and influential families in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong hoped in the residence report that His Majesty could approve the old story of the Eastern Expedition and allow powerful and influential families to donate money and grain to stabilize the sea borders.

So, Wan Wenqing was that kind of extremely vicious scholar.

Standing from the perspective of Great Ming, it was just an ordinary investigation request, but Great Ming had just dispatched 280,000 Han troops and destroyed Yang Yinglong of Bozhou on the grounds that Yang Yinglong refused to investigate. This investigation was simply a sign that Great Ming was about to use force.

The Annan four major families, under this high pressure, chose to strike first. This choice looked very unwise, but it was very reasonable. It was a desperate struggle of a trapped beast.

In the final analysis, the Annan four major families still didn't understand Great Ming as well as Li Yashi, this Western barbarian.

Li Yashi knew too clearly about the high moral disadvantage existing in Great Ming. This kind of high morality was also an important pillar constituting the transcending cycle. Great Ming would never give up high morality no matter what. This was heavy, while pioneering was light.

Now it was good, Great Ming had a sufficient and clear reason, and the high moral dilemma of the unrighteous war was solved.

"Your Majesty, I can understand Annan people to some extent why they made this decision. It is not that Wan Wenqing, this scholar-official, is too vicious, but that the matter between Great Ming and Annan needs a result." Li Yougong did not think it was simply because the pressure given by Wan Wenqing was too great.

In fact, Great Ming's policy toward Annan was very impolite. Just one matter of imported grain made Annan lose its vitality, but Great Ming was unmoved. For Annan, being so unmoved was not as good as giving a knife to be happy!

Blocking Da Nang and allowing attacks on Great Ming merchant ships was also to let Great Ming give this knife. Whether dead or alive, give a happy word!

Li Yougong had been running around outside for many years. Great Ming always felt that it was a gentleman, but in the eyes of these barbarians, Great Ming was a super giant. Even if it turned over slightly, it could crush them to death. The malice of such an existence was still too difficult to bear.

Fight a game, win, Great Ming has no way to target Annan; lose, then it is the same as the 1,400-year history, return to Great Ming again.

Anyway, for Annan people, it has been like this for 1,400 years. Continuing to live like this is not impossible.

"It makes sense." Zhu Yijun felt that what Li Yougong said made some sense. It was not Great Ming that was anxious. Great Ming could still wait slowly, but the matters of imported grain and barbarian slaves had already exploded Annan's internal contradictions.

Between Great Ming and Annan, a result was needed.

Zhu Yijun issued an edict, and Great Ming's war machine started to turn again.

The specific combat strategy actually already had a specific plan, and there were also temple calculations of the Yongle and Jiajing periods for reference. The slightly different thing this time was that Great Ming's main force was at sea, and the land attack was presided over by Liu Ting, mainly for support.

Soon, the Great Ming Emperor received another memorial asking for orders, from the Laos Pacification Commissioner Dao Lansheng. Dao Lansheng memorialized that if Great Ming needed it, they could attack Annan from Laos. Similarly, he hoped that Great Ming would allow Laos to participate in the war.

Dao Lansheng thought very clearly. Great Ming was naturally happy about Laos's surrender, but Great Ming really didn't treat Laos as its own people. If it did, it would have started the King's transformation long ago. The reason why there was no action for a long time, Dao Lansheng believed, was that Laos needed to pay blood taxes to be completely integrated, and participating in the war was undoubtedly the fastest way.

Dao Lansheng's memorial was very reasonable, because this was also the inevitable experience of the raw seedlings in the southwest becoming cooked seedlings, and the cooked seedlings becoming Han people.

Great Ming's King's transformation in the southwest for two hundred years was also mainly relying on war to absorb cooked seedlings. For example, the Bozhou War not only had 280,000 Han troops, but also a large number of cooked seedlings to guide the way, which made the war go so smoothly.

Of course, Dao Lansheng wanted to take revenge even more. This Annan bully bullied Laos, not once or twice. This time Great Ming raised an army to use force, which became the best opportunity for revenge. ===== CHAPTER 1055 =====
