Conversely, although the Ming Dynasty ruled Annam, it did not abandon the people of Annam, nor did it harm the people of An Nhan. In fact, it made efforts to improve the lives of the people of An Nhan.
In this way, when the two are compared, the Ming Dynasty seems more like a country.
A country can only be considered a country when the basic living conditions of its people are met.
If it is not a country, then it has no reason to exist.
Therefore, the people have no reason to have any hope for such an incompetent country.
Therefore, under these circumstances, the people of Annam quickly adapted to becoming subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu entered the southwestern region and arrived at Annam. They thought that the roads here were not yet completed and they might have to walk in.
But to Zhu Yunwen's surprise, the roads in Annam had been repaired during this period of time, and the repairs were quite good.
Therefore, Zhu Yunwen said to Zhao Qingzhu:
"Seeing this scene, I can finally feel a little more at ease. At least Annam has been mobilized, and I think the people here shouldn't have too much of a negative attitude towards the Ming Dynasty."
Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said:
"As long as these people still have a little bit of independent thinking and their minds are not messed up, they will probably accept the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunwen immediately laughed, thinking to himself, "When did this guy become so eloquent and humorous?"
The two chatted and laughed all the way, quite relaxed. In Annam, they passed through several cities, and what they saw and heard satisfied Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu.
The key point is that railway tracks have also started to be built in this area. Nowadays, railways have been completed on many main roads of the Ming Dynasty.
In some other places, they also build main roads.
Especially in a remote place like Annam, it's not surprising at all.
After all, the repairs on the Korean side have already been completed.
And so Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu entered a small city to rest.
After entering, seeing how prosperous Annam had become, Zhu Yunwen felt that he had made the right decision to rule it.
Especially after seeing that the people's food and clothing had improved to a higher standard, Zhu Yunwen naturally felt even more at ease.
At least I won't have to bear any bad reputation.
Upon entering a restaurant, Zhu Yunwen ordered several dishes and discovered that these dishes were basically the popular foods in the Ming Dynasty.
While eating in the restaurant, Zhu Yunwen overheard the people talking about how good life was in Annam and how the Ming Dynasty was developing Annam.
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was quite happy; perhaps this was the true meaning.
It is not simply about ruling, nor is it simply about conquering.
Instead, we need to truly develop these places.
After eating and drinking their fill, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu continued on to other places.
The main purpose of this trip was to go to the city where the Annamite Provincial Administration Office was located, which was the original capital of Annam.
To find out more about the current situation in Annam, let's take a closer look.
Today, nearly 50,000 Ming Dynasty troops are stationed in Annam, and it is a member of the imperial court who leads these soldiers to suppress the rebellion.
After all, Annam had only been conquered for a short time, and it was necessary to send troops to garrison it for a long period of time to prevent any chaos from occurring.
The presence of these troops here has indeed improved the situation considerably, at least preventing any rebellions.
You should know that ruling such a place is by no means an easy task.
People in many places will form various forces to rebel and oppose the Ming Dynasty, but at least so far, such a thing has not happened yet.
This is a positive outcome of the use of force to suppress the violence.
After learning about the living standards of the local people, Zhu Yunwen wanted to find out about the situation of the local officials.
In other parts of the Ming Dynasty, there are still officials who act recklessly, and it will certainly be even more difficult to avoid this here.
Upon arriving in various cities, Zhu Yunwen would, as before, inquire of the people about the actions of local officials.
So far, having passed through three or four cities, the people there have generally had a positive opinion of the local officials.
Zhu Yunwen was very satisfied.
Even after passing through several more cities, the people still held the local officials in high regard.
If you ask them whether the local officials have committed any wrongdoings or oppressed the people, the people will very seriously say that no such thing has happened.
However, this seemed almost impossible to Zhu Yunwen. Logically speaking, even under very strong constraints, some officials in the Ming Dynasty would still engage in corrupt and illegal activities.
Places like Goryeo, which were under the supervision of Ming officials, would also act recklessly during the inspection tours of the Crown Prince and the Emperor.
So, in the more remote Annam, even though the official system is quite comprehensive, shouldn't there be no corrupt officials at all?
This is absolutely impossible.
Zhu Yunwen felt that there must be something wrong here.
But for a moment, I couldn't figure out what the problem was.
