In contrast to the ease of the Northern Navy, the tasks of the Southern Navy were full of killing.

The mission of the Northern Navy is nothing more than to blockade the sea area, and when it is discovered that the passing merchant ships are passing by with artillery, it is to deter the enemy's morale, and then it is to get close to the cold guns, and then it is to capture the enemy.

There were really not many merchant ships that encountered fierce resistance under the deterrence of artillery.

If the Volunteers had resisted in the past, it would have been simple, preferring not to have cargo and to attack the ships with artillery.

Begin not to directly hit the ship, for the sake of the cargo, and finally dare to resist, directly attack and sink.

Relatively speaking, the task of the Northern Navy is easy.

Southern Navy.

A fleet of fifty ships went south to Annam, which was later Vietnam.

The Ming Dynasty had the strongest military strength during the reign of Zhu Di, and when there was civil strife in the Tran Dynasty in Vietnam, the southern expedition was won, pacifying the entire Cochin and establishing counties.

After the death of Ming Chengzu, both Ren and Xuan Emperors were unable to suppress or appease, so Ming Xuanzong agreed to crown Li Li as king and withdraw the Ming army. Subsequently, the Later Lê dynasty in Vietnam was established.

Around 1537, civil strife broke out again in the Annam regime. The Vietnamese again asked the Ming Dynasty to send troops to quell the civil strife, and Emperor Jiajing's army was stationed at Zhennan Pass, preparing to invade Vietnam.

In 1539, the rebellious monarchs and ministers of the Mo regime took the initiative to send people to Zhennan Pass to ask for surrender, and dedicated the land and household registration books of Annam to the Ming Emperor, willing to incorporate the Annan regime into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty reduced Annam to a subordinate state to a dependent territory, and reduced Annam to the Commander of Annam. The state of Annam was nominally incorporated into the Chinese territory again on a triennial basis, but in fact remained under the direct rule of the king of Vietnam until the fall of the Ming dynasty.

Annan has broken away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty and is not his own people, and the mission of the South Korean Navy has been to rob people in the past.

The reason for the Southern Navy Chen Zijian has already thought about it, originally Annan belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and there were a large number of Ming people in Annan who needed to evacuate, that is, to evacuate overseas Chinese.

In the past, the Navy's mission was to "invite" the people at the bottom to come back and contribute to the development of Zhangjiacheng.

This kind of thing needs to be carried out for a long time, Chen Zijian has already regarded the Annan area as a new village for the upgrading of the Volunteers to fight monsters, and in the future, if the Volunteers want to promote their official positions, they need to go to the Annan area to "invite" 1,000 people to come back.

Of course, the purpose of this is not nothing, the Annan place has important geographical advantages and rich resources, that is, the Annam monkeys above need to be cleaned up.

Not everyone is eligible to be "invited" back, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, the race in each place did not need to distinguish at all, and they could easily distinguish the level of culture accepted.

Annam was ruled by the Ming Dynasty for a period of time and was influenced by Confucian culture.

In the past, the navy found that as long as you don't want to live with the Ming people, it is the object of cleanup, and the reason for the cleanup is naturally that the Annan people rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the Volunteers attacked Annam instead of the imperial court, and they were completely famous.

After all, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ruled here, and later because of the weak army, he had to let the later Vietnamese king take the throne.

After saying that, the volunteers came to Annam for another purpose.

After half a year of development, the population of Zhangjiacheng has almost reached one million, of which more than ninety percent of the people are not engaged in agricultural production, but work in the positions provided by Chen Zijian, such as road construction, house building, cement production, and transportation team, which occupy a large number.

There is a serious shortage of agricultural production population in Zhangjiacheng, and the result is a shortage of grain in Zhangjiacheng.

Although Zhangjiacheng is mainly meat-based, people can't eat meat every meal, at least the physique of the Chinese people is not suitable for eating meat at every meal, and they need a certain amount of food as a supplement.

In the past, the population was small, and the food could be improvised.

Now nearly a million people consume food, even if one person eats less, multiplied by one million is an astronomical amount.

When the Leizhou Peninsula was occupied, a lot of grain was found in the five county towns, although it was not yet to the point of food shortage. However, there is no restriction on the food that Chen Zijian can give to the people, and the people's demand for food is much higher than before.

The population for agricultural production is small, and the amount of food needed is astronomical.

Chen Zijian can't go to the territory of traditional Chinese people to rob! For example, in the past, the nearby provinces, or the Yangtze River region in the north, this time to loot grain.

Do this, Chen Zijian is waiting for the reputation to be on the street! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the weather was abnormal, and the northern region was dry for a long time, and the grain production was out of production.

Some time ago, someone brought sweet potatoes to Chen Zijian, but it takes a while for sweet potatoes to be widely planted, and they can't quench their thirst from far water.

Eastern Guangdong Province, Xiguang Province, and Qionghai Island are located in tropical and subtropical areas, and the abnormal weather changes are much smaller.

It is impossible for Chen Zijian to loot grain in his own territory or other places in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the people without food will be dead.

Zhangjiacheng's food shortage cannot be plundered from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and can only find a source of compensation in the surrounding areas.

Annam is undoubtedly the place to solve the food crisis in Zhangjiacheng, where rice crops are harvested three times a year. The yield is much stronger than that of rice in eastern Guangdong. There is a surplus of grain in the Annam region.

You must know that on the Leizhou Peninsula where Chen Zijian is located, the rice yield is only two crops a year, and the yield is not as good as that of Annam.

The navy was tasked with evacuating overseas Chinese, but by the way, it increased the working population in Zhangjiacheng, and the other was to empty the population of the Annan area, and then transfer people from Zhangjiacheng to the past.

The purpose of this is simple, to settle the future rebellion once and for all.

The population of Annan is decreasing, and after Chen Zijian occupies it in the future, the grain production there will be large, and Chen Zijian plans that Annan will be used as a grain producing area in the future, which can refer to the later generations of China's development of the northeast.

In later generations, Northeast China was an important grain producing area to ensure national food security.

Chen Zijian wanted to imitate the model of Northeast land reclamation and build Annan into a large-scale grain production area, which is different from the traditional Chinese agricultural fine management of one acre and three points of land.

Of course, that was planned for the future, and now the South China Navy formation appears at the mouth of the Red River.

There is a plain in the Annam region, the Red River Delta, where the main economic activity lies.

The Red River Delta is the most economically developed area in Annam, and the reason is that it is a plain, and other areas are either highlands or high mountains, and it is difficult to develop at all.

Later, 70% of agriculture and 80% of industry in northern Vietnam were concentrated in the Red River Delta.

This shows the importance of the Red River Delta to Annam.

If Chen Zijian wants to occupy Annam, he does not need to play guerrilla warfare with the Annam people in the rainforest, as long as he sends volunteers to occupy the Red River Delta.

The rest of Annan is either high mountains or tropical rainforests, and if Chen Zijian doesn't need to do much, the Annan people in the tropical rainforest will starve to death.

Annan has become the fat in Chen Zijian's eyes, how can he be willing if he doesn't take a bite.

After the transformation is completed, it will be an important grain producing area in Zhangjiacheng, and with the meat resources of the marine fishing industry, it will not be a problem to feed another 100 million people.

Of course, this requires the full development of the Red River Delta Plain.

Chen Zijian has already regarded Annan as his own territory, thinking about how to use it in the future.

If the Volunteers occupy the Red River Delta, then the area north of the Red River Delta, adjacent to Xiguang Province, will become the territory of China as long as the Red River Delta is guarded.

In the ancient Chinese saying, there is a sentence that Chen Zijian particularly likes, that is, since ancient times.

As long as you rely on this sentence, you can have a righteous way everywhere and stand on the moral high ground.

If Chen Zijian's power increases in the future, he will use the phrase since ancient times to send troops to South Asia, which is India in the future.

Why? Because the footprints of Tang Sanzang in the Tang Dynasty reached South Asia, South Asia has been the territory of China since ancient times.

As for the original South Asian third brother, it would be good to send him to Africa to be the companion of black people.

Buddhism is a foreign religion, and if South Asia is incorporated into the territory of the Volunteers, then Buddhism is its own religion, and the Volunteers are obliged to occupy South Asia for this purpose.

Of course, South Asian affairs need to wait to solve the Tartars in the Northeast, the Mongolian Tartars, the Southern Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's Dashun Army, and Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan.

The flotilla of the South Navy, which appeared at the mouth of the Red River. Carry out Chen Zijian's mission.
