In the eyes of the Ming court in Nanjing, Zhu Cizhao's situation in Annan was very dangerous, and if he was not careful, he would fall into the vast sea of the People's War in Annan. With Zhu Cizhao's 20,000 or 30,000 displaced troops at hand, it is simply impossible to gain a long-term foothold in Annan.

And the Ming Dynasty did not have any strong armament in Liangguang. The "refugee soldiers" of Cao Youyi, the governor of Guangdong and general of Guangzhou, are still pretending to scare the level of the Cantonese Yankees, and only the 20,000 or 30,000 northern troops led by Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Guangxi, have some combat effectiveness.

Relying on the 20,000 or 30,000 people who relied on Jin Shenghuan and the 20,000 or 30,000 people on hand in Zhu Cizhao, they were 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the level of equipment was not high, and there were only a small number of new firearms, and they could not be proficient. If you want to fight with Annanda, you really don't have much chance of winning.

What's worse is that it is the early summer of the second year of Hongxing, and there is no north wind in summer, and the sea ship from Anbei to Nanjing is a smooth wind, and it will soon be there. However, the sailing ships from Nanking to Annam had to take advantage of the southeast wind to barely sail, and the speed was very slow. And if you stay at sea for a long time, you have to be careful of typhoons, don't be careless to destroy a ship!

Therefore, the Ming court could not send a large army to Annan for a while, so it could only send edicts to He Tengjiao, the governor of Liangguang, Su Guansheng, the governor of Guangdong, Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangdong, Cao Youyi, the governor of Guangdong, and Jin Shenghuan, the governor of Guangxi, so that they could try to contact Nanruan in order to reach a secret agreement of "Zhancheng Yishenglong".

At the same time, Zhu Cihong also quickly issued an edict to set up the Jinou Camp Field Division (in charge of the development of Jinoujiao and the lower reaches of the Jiulong River), and appointed Chen Yongxi as the Jinou Camp Field Envoy, with Shi Daxuan (recommended by Zheng Zhilong), Chen Zisheng (the younger brother of Chongzhen's lecturer Chen Zizhuang, recommended by He Tengjiao), and Chen Maoxiu (Hakka, the grandson of the famous general Chen Lan in the Wanli period, recommended by Su Guansheng) as deputy envoys.

Moreover, he also ordered Shi Daxuan to immediately lead his troops (Dongning soldiers) to enter the firewood stick by sea - if he can negotiate with Lord Ruan, a firewood stick will be used as an addition, and Lord Ruan doesn't even want to occupy the city, will he care about firewood?

If the negotiation is not proper, the Ruan lord cannot be allowed to use firewood sticks to interfere with the operation of the Daming Jinou Camp Tiansi.

So let's just strike first and take the firewood sticks!

In short, Emperor Zhu of Nanjing had already prepared for the worst!

However, it greatly exceeded the expectations of the Ming court, on the ground of Annan, since Zhu Cizhao lived in Shenglong Mansion, it seems to be very safe.

Because Zhu Cizhao, a confused prince, showed a very high political strategy after occupying Thang Long Mansion - anyway, in later Qing history, Zhu Cizhao showed himself as a great colonizer and a great politician.

He, the big colonist who led tens of thousands of soldiers to attack the Zheng lord of Annan, was really shameless to the extreme, obviously occupying the capital of Annan, and still pretending to be innocent and pure there.

The first is to restrain the army, after entering Thang Long, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and did not take anything from the people of Annam - the property left by Lord Zheng in Thang Long was naturally used by him to reward the three armies!

The second is to post an annunciation notice, declaring that he is just passing by the Annam Metropolitan Division, and he definitely does not want to take the position of the Governor of the Li clan, and as long as the Le Metropolitan Commander returns, he will immediately return Thang Long.

Again, it is the Thang Long Mansion that forms an autonomous government, and uses the local Annan Shi doctor of Thang Long Province to govern Thang Long, and the Yunnan Royal Mansion does not interfere - this trick is extremely insidious! Because the Zheng lord was based on the two prefectures of Thanh Hoa and Yi'an, most of the officials appointed were scholars from these two prefectures. The Anbei people in the area of Thang Long Province are not trusted by Lord Zheng. Now Zhu Cizhao promoted the Anbei people to be officials, autonomous Shenglong, and declared that he wanted to welcome back King Li, and suddenly won the hearts of Shenglong scholars.

In the end, after Lord Zheng refused to let King Li return to Thang Long, Zhu Cizhao also sent people to ask the two separatist forces in northern Annam, the Gao Ping Mo clan and the Xuan Guang Wu clan, to send people to Thang Long to discuss the aftermath - this matter was actually because Zhu Cizhao did not know how to deal with the aftermath, but in the eyes of the Gao Ping Mo Lord and the Xuan Guang Wu Protector (Xuan Guang Wu clan called the protector), the Great Ming Dynasty was likely to support them...... If this King of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty is really passing by, and the Lord Zheng is holding King Li and not allowing him to return to Thang Long, then will the Ming Dynasty appoint a new Annam Commander?

Now Zheng Zhu is dizzy, and he has not recovered from the fiasco of Changdelei, and he is powerless to counterattack for a while.

Lord Nguyen had just been replaced, and Nam Nguyen's army had also suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Chang Duc Fort, and Nam Nguyen and North Trung were still in a state of hostility, so of course it was from a distance.

Mo Jingyu and Wu Gong Duba hoped to get some benefits from Zhu Cizhao, the king of Yunnan, so they also did not move, and each sent envoys to Shenglong to meet Zhu Cizhao.

In the "Dutong Mansion" (Emperor Li's palace), which is a little shabby in the city of Thang Longfu, the king of Yunnan of the Ming Dynasty is complaining helplessly to the two messengers of the Mo family and the martial arts family who are a little old and shrewd and capable.

"No matter how down-and-out the lonely king is, he is also the county king of the Ming Dynasty, how can he travel thousands of miles to seize the official position of the commander of the capital of Annan? Besides, the Commander of Annam is an official position appointed by the imperial court, although it is not a liuguan, but a hereditary local official by the descendants of the Li family, but it is not something that can be forcibly taken by anyone with strong soldiers and horses...... This Li Weiqi and Zheng Jie must be old and confused, you two can't be like them, and they will abandon the land and run away!

You are all the court officials of the Ming Dynasty, the parents of the people of Annan, you can't run away casually! ”

"The king's words are very good......

"The lord of my family will definitely fulfill his duties and will not abandon the land."

The envoys of the Mo family and the Wu family echoed their mouths, but they thought in their hearts: Didn't you lose your Yunnan fiefdom and run to Shenglong Mansion? Also talk about other people......

Zhu Cizhao frowned deeply, and sighed again: "Now the officials of the Naturalization Mansion and the Taiyuan Mansion have abandoned the land, and there are no soldiers and horses to guard it. If the rogues are killed from the direction of Yunnan, what should they do? Aren't the two of you Shizhen Xuanguang and Gaoping Erfu? There must be some troops and retainers, right? It is better to temporarily manage the two prefectures of naturalization and Taiyuan. ”

What the? This is a house for a house?

There are more than a dozen prefectures in Annan, and the core territories of Lord Zheng and Lord Ruan are all three mansions, while the core territories of Lord Mo and Lord Bao are all one mansion, and the rest of the territory is all grass on the wall, and whoever controls the court of Annam will listen to whomever he wants.

And now due to the rapid weakening of Zheng Zhu's power, the Ming Yunnan King raided and took Thang Long Mansion, and the court of Annam temporarily lost its appeal, and a power vacuum appeared in the eight prefectures firmly controlled by Zheng Zhu, Ruan Zhu, Mo Zhu, and Bao Zhu (Zheng Zhu has three prefectures of Thanh Hoa, Yi An, and Yanzhou, and Ruan Zhu has Hue, Quang Nam, and Tai Ninh).

Zhu Cizhao, who has mastered the Shenglong Mansion and seems to be able to speak on behalf of the Ming court, will be able to cheekily use the power that originally belonged to the Annan court.

Seeing that Lord Mo and the envoys of the protector were a little stunned, Zhu Cizhao said sincerely: "King Gu can swear that he will never seize the position of the commander of Annan, and he is not willing to stay in Shenglong for a long time. As long as Li Weiqi is willing to return, Gu will immediately give up Thang Long and move to Xin'an Province. When the Ming court sent a sea ship, King Gu would leave Annam...... I went to Nanjing to ask the imperial brother for my guilt! ”

Thinking of his sins, Zhu Cizhao's tears were about to fall. And the envoys of the protector and the lord of Mo were stunned by the "performing arts" of Zhu Cizhao, the young prince-you have so much credit this time, what kind of crime do you ask?

Even if you occupy a Xin'an Mansion, it is a great achievement to open up the territory!

"Great King," said the envoy of the Lord, a middle-aged man who was also a member of the Xuanguang Martial Clan, "the minister will go back to the Xuanguang Mansion immediately and convey your order to the Lord...... The Lord will definitely send troops to the Naturalization Mansion immediately. ”

Such a good thing, how could the Xuanguang Wu clan let it go?

The envoy of the Mo lord of Gaoping also assured Zhu Cizhao: "The minister will also return to Gaoping immediately, and he will definitely let the head of the family send troops to Taiyuan." With the army of my Gaoping Mo family guarding it, I will never let the rogues step into Taiyuan Mansion! ”
