Chapter 72: Target Annan

Zhu An didn't care about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty Palace.

At this moment, in the teahouse, Zhu An was communicating with a person who looked similar to the Ming Dynasty.

However, this person's Chinese accent sounds extremely strange.

It was Zhu An’s secret son of the Chamber of Commerce in Goryeo.

"The head, our envoy, will arrive in about five days, and the other countries are similar."

Zhu An nodded and asked, "Is there any important person you came to Goryeo this time?"

The Goryeo businessman said: "General Li's daughter also came with the team this time. It is said that she wanted to marry her to get support from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu An is familiar with this kind of behavior. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's harem, there were many concubines from small countries, but they were generally not favored.

Thinking of this, Zhu An also sighed a little. Li Chenggui is also a ruthless person. If he remembers correctly, Zhu Yuanzhang is already sixty-five years old.

The daughter I sent here naturally could not be a 20- or 3-year-old, probably in her teens and under twenty years old.

Isn't this a widow?

Moreover, it seems that there are also concubines who have served in Goryeo in the harem now.

The concubines of Goryeo in both dynasties are here, which is interesting.

However, Zhu An only thought about such things related to the harem, and he couldn't get in touch with them anyway.

"About the countries, there are any other signs at present."

Zhu An asked casually that his business team was very famous in many small countries in the Western Regions, after all, he was the current sect leader of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the merchants had a humble status in the Ming Dynasty, they were completely different when they went abroad.

Especially the snowflake salt in his hand is a luxury for royal nobles from various countries.

The safety of the caravan is protected by many royal nobles, and if an accident occurs.

Zhu An will impose snowflake salt sanctions on this small country, reduce quotas, and even directly eliminate the quota for that year.

There is also the Yan'an Chamber of Commerce, whose fancy and beautiful clothes are even more sought after by many nobles.

The unique eye-catching color, when worn on the body, has a great sense of difference from ordinary civilians.

It is simply the best symbol of the aristocratic status.

Nowadays, if the nobles from various countries in the Western Regions go out, if they don’t have such gorgeous clothes, they will be looked down upon by other nobles.

As a monopoly Yan'an Chamber of Commerce, it is simply a huge profit.

Many merchants from various countries in the Western Regions secretly surrendered to the chamber of commerce controlled by Zhu An.

It can be said that Zhu An has already had the prototype of capital in the Western Regions.

However, due to the development of force, there are still many omissions in security protection.

Every year, many chambers of commerce encounter various accidents, which makes Zhu An extremely annoyed, but has no choice but to do anything.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, it is no exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty is the world's largest country.

The strength of the Ming Empire relies on the efficient fire system. At present, the firearms in the early Ming Dynasty are only stronger than the late Ming Dynasty more than two hundred years later.

Zhu Yuanzhang also attached great importance to the firearms. The total number of Ming army at present is about 1.3 million to 1.8 million.

There were nearly 150,000 of them, and they were specialized in the command of the Fire Commander.

This means that the number of troops in the Fire Command is currently more than all the knights, soldiers and alternate cavalry in the European countries that are currently in the Renaissance.

Faced with such a large number of soldiers supplying the Fire Order, the military battles in the Eighth Bureau of the Ming Dynasty were the places where the Fire Order was mainly created, and the Gunpowder Department was subordinate to the Gunpowder Department.

It is also the core area of ​​the entire open firearm. It is located in the outskirts of the capital. No one is allowed to enter within a range of more than ten miles. Once discovered, you will be killed without mercy!

Zhu An had the honor of seeing the current appearance of the Fire Tong, which was very different from the antique gun he imagined.

They are smaller, lighter, shorter and are used in a very different way.

In Zhu An's impression, there seemed to be only a few types of artillery and fire system.

And when he got to know him deeply, he was deeply shocked.

At present, the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder weapons are known for their wide variety.

Cannons, Fire Ordinance, Rockets, Fire Centrifugal, i-sized muskets, large and large iron tubes, magical arrows, and a more weird name called "Do not help".

These are currently enough to prove that the firearms in the early Ming Dynasty are now extremely powerful.

What is sulfur, dinitrogen and charcoal? This thing was discovered in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

Until now, these raw materials that can produce gunpowder have long been prohibited products of the Ming Dynasty.

Given the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, if Zhu An dared to interfere in the raw materials of gunpowder, even in the Western Regions, he would be directly suppressed by the army.

The only way is to abduct a group of craftsmen who are good at making gunpowder, leave the Ming Dynasty, and go to other places to do gunpowder research and development.

"What is the current situation in Annan?" Thinking of the death of Mu Ying, the Xiping Hou, was obviously not enough to shock many small countries in the southwest.

Especially in the current Chen Dynasty in Annan, there were situations where treacherous heroes took over power, wealthy families were separatist, and people were in frequent rebellions.

There have been great fluctuations and differences in the sales of Zhuan Snowflake Salt.

"Annan's envoy team brought a large number of expensive and rare treasures, as well as their princess, the first beauty of Annan, who wanted to offer it to the emperor to gain support from the army and quell the internal rebellion." said the Goryeo businessman.

At present, the Chen Dynasty was at its end. Eight years later, Hu Jimao abolished the young emperor and established the Hu Dynasty, and the Chen Dynasty was destroyed.

The current situation is simply internal and external troubles.

However, in history, I think Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree to the request of Annan envoy, otherwise he would not have destroyed the country in eight years.

"Why do these small countries like to use the routine of beauty tricks?"

Zhu An couldn't help but complain.

In fact, Zhu An still feels a little regretful. With the current Ming Dynasty's ability, the Annan countries have no ability to resist at all.

It was very easy to incorporate it into the territory of the Ming Dynasty again.

In the later period, Emperor Yongle raised troops to eliminate the Hu Dynasty and changed its name to Jiaozhi, but it caused great casualties.

It's better to intervene now.

"But I can contact these envoys. Now there is chaos. I have a plan and start a fight in advance. I may be able to take advantage of the situation."

Zhu An thought in his heart that for the moment, the situation in Annan is the best place for Zhu An to intervene.

It's too far away to pass over the Western Regions.

Goryeo has completed reform and is no longer easy to intervene.

Only Annan will explode in eight years, and there is enough time for Zhu An to operate.
