If we really beat him to death, someone would definitely confess. But that would be a subjugation, and the Annan officials would still doubt us. It's best to let the Annan officials doubt that Li family."

Zhu Kang struggled and said: "Your Majesty means to establish a king. Now that the baby has been killed and only a single seedling is left, how should we respond?"

Xie Hong said: "We can report to the court that His Highness will marry the Li family, and he will be the regent of Annan."

Zhu Kang shook his head repeatedly: "I will not marry that femme fatale!"

Xie Hong said: "It's just a marriage. It doesn't have to be the same bed. It's just a name. The top priority is to stabilize the situation in Annan as soon as possible."

Zhu Kang cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please give me some advice."

Xie Hong said: "In order to appease civil and military officials internally, those who have made meritorious service on the battlefield and those killed by Du Yingwu should be rewarded and given titles. There is a rebel Shen Li in the northwest who has captured Taiyuan Prefecture and claims that his clan wants to plot.

To seize power. In the name of the Lord of Annan, Your Highness should order the officials and gentry across the country not to join the rebels in causing rebellion."

"As for the traitor Shen Li, don't send troops to annihilate him for the time being. Let him continue to attack the state capital and make Annan officials anxious, and then send troops to annihilate him."

"Du Yingwu and the rest of the party ransacked all their homes and exterminated their families. They distributed their property to the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, especially the land, so that the people brought by His Highness could feel completely at ease. Annan officials who did not accept His Highness as the Regent were all

You can beat up the remaining thieves, confiscate their homes, exterminate their families, and distribute their property."

"In the city of Shenglong Prefecture, too many people were kidnapped by General Yang last time. Lord Annan moved the local people, but only half of the population in the city was restored. You can send people to Guangzhou to recruit merchants, especially merchants and craftsmen.

Distribute it to shops and houses. Firstly, it will allow Thanglong Prefecture to recover quickly, and secondly, it will also increase the Han population."

"Also, reorganize Annan's remnant army. The Annan military generals who hold military power will order them to send young girls from their families to marry His Highness as his wives. By marrying those military generals, Your Highness can control the military power."

"After marrying a military general, there will be a large-scale imperial examination. His Majesty allowed Annan scholars to go to the Ming Dynasty to take the imperial examination. After His Highness announced this, he asked for many Confucian scriptures from the Ming Dynasty. It would be best to invite a great Confucian. In this way, Annan

The civil servants and scholars have also won over him."

"I heard that the temples in Annan own countless temple fields. If the rewards are not enough, they will accuse certain temples of being the remnants of the Du bandits, and seize those temple fields and distribute them to the Ming soldiers!"

"When His Highness takes control of the situation in Annan, the system will be reformed next year. Following the example of the Ming Dynasty, the yamen were changed to the cabinet, six ministries, and provincial systems. The army was changed to the capital command, general army, and inner and outer town systems. These reforms will make it easier for the Ming Dynasty to annex Annan in the future.

.”

"The land system will not be changed for the time being. Especially land taxes, many of which are taken back to the central government and used as military expenses. Annan's army is now sharply reduced. Do not restore the original troop strength during reorganization, which is equivalent to disguised disarmament. This can prevent Annan's army

To rebel, secondly, collect more land tax to prepare for emergencies. When the time comes, if His Highness can reduce some land tax as appropriate, he will gain the reputation of benevolence and the love of Annan officials and people."

"Business taxes must be changed..."

Xie Hong spoke for more than ten minutes and only finished a general outline.

Zhu Kang was filled with admiration and said, "Sir, you are really a great talent!"

Xie Hong said humbly: "I served as the right chief envoy of the Ming Dynasty. Any chief envoy can feel at ease when he comes to Annan."
