In fact, what made Liu Pei happiest was that Fang Degang keenly seized an opportunity. That is the opportunity for the two families of An Ann Na Zheng Ruan to fight.

When Fang Degang read the briefing of the Intelligence Bureau, he found that the Zheng Ruan family in Annam was at war, so he quickly sent someone to send Liu Pei a plan.

Just when Liu Pei thought he could have a stop year. , the plan was sent to Liu Pei. After repeated thinking, Liu Pei revised Fang Degang's plan and transferred the implementation department of the plan to Liu Jiang.

This is not to say that Liu Pei does not trust Fang Degang, but that Fang Degang does not know the situation of Annan at all, and his plan is too short-sighted. Fang Degang just wanted to take advantage of Zheng Ruan's war to get some slaves, but after Liu Pei revised it, the whole plan changed.

All in all, this plan is that Liu Pei will support Zheng Ruan's two families in their ongoing battles. Let Annan shed blood! At the same time, Liu Pei has access to a large number of people and precious metals. When both of them were consumed to the point of being powerless, it was when Liu Pei occupied Annan.

For this reason, Liu Jiang and Liu Dahai, who were specially called by Liu Pei, should teach them face-to-face. In Liu Pei's study, he took out the revised plan and handed it to two people, asking them to read it in detail, so that they could have an idea of the overall plan. By the time they finished reading it, both of them knew they had something big to do!

After reading the plan, Liu Jiang was quite excited! Because this is the first time that the Intelligence Agency has intervened overseas. And Liu Dahai looked indifferent, because he had not done similar things once or twice.

Liu Jiang closed the file and said, "Dashuai, look at what you mean, it seems that you are planning to make an attempt in Annan?" ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "That's right, it's just an attempt!" This is where our approach to Southeast Asia is validated. There are too many natives in Southeast Asia, and it is impossible for us to exterminate every native, so it is better to let them consume themselves by internal friction. ”

Liu Dahai said: "But Dashuai, it seems that we can't achieve our goal by just buying the enemy's prisoners. ”

Liu Pei tapped his fingers rhythmically on the tabletop and said slowly: "You should note that I am talking about the entire population, not just the captives. These little Annam monkeys can also be resold if they capture the other party's civilians

We. The most important point is that we not only have to do business with Zheng Ruan's family, but you also have to reach out to the generals who lead the troops. They were the main force in capturing slaves! Remember, don't underestimate the brutality and greed of human nature, for the sake of money, those generals will capture all enemy civilians and sell them to us! ”

Liu Jiang nodded and said: "I understand, this is the same reason as the Ming army generals killing good and risking their merits." And if they open their mouths, they can't catch each other's people, maybe they will catch their own people and sell them! ”

Liu Pei nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, that's the effect!" ”

Liu Dahai opened the file and said, "Dashuai, I saw that you mentioned in the plan that you could use food as an exchange material. But with the increase in immigration, we don't have enough food for ourselves, and now we have to buy grain in Jiangnan, where is there surplus grain to sell to them? ”

Liu Pei said: "So, I specifically asked for weapons and armor and the like to exchange for population this year. As for the grain, it will be enough from next year, and the surplus grain can be exchanged for slaves. ”

Liu Dahai was surprised: "Really? I have not received any reports of food production. But can you be sure of that? ”

Liu Pei said: "I have a report here. This year, the migrant victims can only produce about 70% of their own food production! This is still the yield of raw fields, and I am afraid that the yield will be even higher when the fields become mature next year! This is thanks to the local soil, they have never developed the local land, and the land is very fertile! So by the time of next year, there will be enough food surplus for the new immigrants in Southeast Asia, and then they will be able to exchange food for the population. ”

Liu Jiang said: "Is the plan to absorb the population from Korea and the Japanese still going on?" ”

Liu Pei said: "Of course continue! But you have to remember that you should never give them a chance to sign up! Let them do the work of sending them to death, but we must also set up a number of benchmarks to integrate into us, so that they can see hope! In this regard, the Intelligence Bureau needs to cooperate with the Government Council, understand? ”

Liu Jiang said: "I understand, I will say hello to the government affairs yuan when I go back." ”

Liu Pei nodded and said: "There is another thing to remember, not only do we come forward, but we also have to pull in more business."

People go. Those merchants need to sell more goods, and they have more dexterity than we do! We also need to use these merchants to sell more of the goods we produce. ”

Not long afterward, the Intelligence Bureau sent people to follow Liu Dahai and them to Annan. Liu Dahai and he led people to separate the two families of Zheng Ruan.

Liu Dahai went to Zheng's house in the name of the envoy of the Red-eyed Dragon King. And his subordinates took the first batch of Western sailors who defected to Liu Pei, pretending to be envoys of the Yi people to Ruan's house.

However, Liu Dahai is not going well here. On the contrary, it was those Westerners who took the lead in reaching an agreement with the Ruan family. This made Liu Dahai very unhappy. Because the Zheng family in the north thought that a pirate was not worthy of a deal with them at all. So Liu Dahai had to bribe the important ministers of the Zheng family to get the opportunity to meet with Lord Zheng.

The pattern of competition between Annan, Nan, Zheng and Nguyen was formed relatively early. Zheng Jian, the first leader of the Zheng family, claimed to be a descendant of Zheng Ke, the founding minister of the Later Li Dynasty.

After Zi Mo Teng Yong usurped the throne of the Later Lê Dynasty, Nguyen Gan proclaimed Le Victor Ninh emperor in 1532. Zheng Jian was regarded as a confidant by Ruan Gan, and contributed to the Later Li Dynasty for his participation in the war against Mo in the Later Li Dynasty and became an important minister.

After Ruan Gan's death, Zheng Jian expelled Ruan Gan's son Ruan Huang and monopolized the government. Nguyen Huang retreated to the south and became the hereditary lord of Nguyen. Subsequently, the Zheng family was hereditary in charge of the Later Li Dynasty.

After the 1592 war to capture Thang Long and kill Mo Yingzu Mo Maocha, the Zheng clan became even more powerful and had a position above that of the Later Lê emperor.

In 1677, after Zheng Zheng defeated the Mo regime in Gaoping, he created the example of "entering the court without worship, and writing without name", and set up the chair of Lord Zheng on the left side of Emperor Li's throne, and the Emperor of the Li Dynasty completely became an ornament.

When the Zheng clan was in power, the imperial family was called the "Imperial Court", and the shogunate of Lord Zheng was called the "Imperial Court". All affairs, whether political or military, are managed by the government. The court of the Later Li Dynasty was only in name and had no real power.

This is very similar to the samurai regime in the history of the Korean Peninsula and the shogunate in the history of Japan. Many Zheng lords could even depose and proclaim the emperor at will, and kill the Later Li dynasty clans who opposed them.
