[281] Recovering Mengyang 1

For Zheng Jie, the de facto ruler of North Vietnam, it was really a troubled city. The enemy situation continues, it is not good news, Beijiang fell, Beining fell, Anpei fell, the most troublesome thing is that the Ming army has been with the cooperation of the navy, conquered Taiping, Nanding, all the way up the Red River, and is about to hit their own big conch city. He knew very well in his heart that with his existing army, he would not be able to hold the big snail no matter what. Do you just give up?

At this time, the pawn came to report: "General Li asks to see!" ”

"Is it Li Meteorite?" Like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, Zheng Jie hurriedly ordered: "Invite him in!" ”

Li Meteorite hurriedly came in, and said without greetings: "The king is not ready to make a decision!" The Northern Kou have all been killed outside the Great Conch City! ”

Zheng Jie sighed: "How to decide?" The Northern Army is pressed by the border, what else can we do? At this time, Zheng Jie's momentum was completely lost

Li Meteorite said: "The enemy is menacing, we should not run into them, but avoid their edge, and wait for the opportunity to act after their edge has passed!" ”

Zheng Jie hesitated and said, "You mean to give up the Great Conch City?" But~"

Li Meteorite urged: "What else can you be, King? The Han people have a good saying, called to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, imagine a hundred years ago, the Ming Dynasty mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops to attack our Dayue, that Jian Ding they don't know the depth of the hard and the Ming army to collide, and the result is that one was captured and executed. How powerful the Ming army was at that time, but after a long time, as soon as their edge passed, weren't they driven out by us? Our weather in Annan is our most powerful weapon. ”

"Yes~" Zheng Jie came back to his senses and said: "The weather in our Annan is hot and rainy, and those northerners will definitely get sick because they are not accustomed to the water and soil, and then it will be the best opportunity for us to counterattack." Well, herald, let's~! ”

"Obey~!" Li Meteorite was just about to turn around and leave

Zheng Jie called out to him again, "Take Your Majesty with you." ”

"Yes."

Zheng Jie finally made up his mind to retreat. He himself led an army of 40,000 to hold the Emperor Li Weiqi of Annam Shenzong and civil and military officials hostage, and retreated to Leshan and Baishan, leaving the general Li Huishi to lead 20,000 people to defend Daluo. Before leaving, Zheng Jie's team also distributed weapons to the people along the way, encouraging the people to fight for the nation.

Outside the west gate of Daluo City, Zheng Jie led his family to board the carriage and said to Li Meteorite: "General Li, Annan depends on you." ”

Li Meteorite said with a smile: "The king is polite, and the king will be given a ride." ”

Zheng Jie shook his head, "It's important to defend the city. I'm the Freedom Guard. ”

Li Meteorite's face suddenly sank, and a cold murderous aura appeared on his face, "I mean, send you to Huangquan." ”

"What?" Before Zheng Jie could react, a steel knife stabbed him in the lower abdomen

"Ah~!" After all, Zheng Jie was a hero, he held the steel knife to prevent Li Meteorite from stabbing deeper, and shouted: "Escort, escort!" ”

None of the solemn warriors around him moved, they all looked at him with cold eyes, and some of them immediately captured Zheng Jie's family

"Escort~~" Zheng Jie's mouth was blistering with blood

"Zheng Jie, you have no eyes on the king, dictate the dynasty, and brutalize the ministers, so that it causes a disaster, and I will execute you on the orders of Your Majesty." Li Meteorite held the handle of the knife with both hands, pushed it forward hard, and the steel knife pierced Zheng Jie.

"I~goo~hmm~" Zheng Jie's eyes widened, and his blood-soaked hands tightly grasped Li Meteorite's armor skirt and didn't want to fall

"Die!" Li Meteorite kicked Zheng Jie's chest and kicked him away, "Zheng's traitor, cut all over the door, kill~!" ”

"Yes!" Outside the west gate of Daluo City, the cries of women and children were suddenly heard for four periods

Li Meteorite came to a gorgeous carriage, put the steel knife back into its sheath, and said, "Your Majesty, the traitor Zheng Jie has been executed. ”

With a relieved smile, the person in the car said: "Quickly negotiate peace with the Ming army, as long as I keep my throne, I can agree to any conditions." ”

"Yes."

In October of the fourth year of Daming Hongde, the rainy season in Annam finally passed, and Daluo City, the capital of Annam, also ushered in a rare peaceful time. On this day, in the palace of the Daluo Lê Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty signed the "Treaty of Daluo" together with the king of the Annam-Lê Dynasty, Le Wei Qi, the Mo Dynasty Mo Jing Kuan, the envoy of the Quang Nam Nguyen clan, Nguyen Phuc Anh, and the envoy of the King of Champa

The first article of the treaty was to divide the kingdom of Annam into four parts, namely the Cao Binh Mo dynasty, the Da Luo Lê dynasty, the Hue Nguyen dynasty and the southern kingdom of Champa. All four countries voluntarily join the Greater China Co-Prosperity Sphere and voluntarily abide by all the legal provisions of all Co-prosperity Spheres.

Second, the above four countries are all vassals of the Ming Dynasty, and they pay tribute once every two years and meet once every four years. The Ming Dynasty will canonize the kings of the four countries respectively, and the supreme rulers of the four countries can only be called kings, and the Ming Emperor's year name will be used.

Second, the four countries are not allowed to attack each other, if there is a contradiction, you must ask the Ming to arbitrate, if you dare to start a war without authorization, the rest of the countries can destroy the country that started the war first, and divide its land.

Article 3, the new monarch of the four countries succeeds to the throne, and must send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to report and obtain the imperial decree of the Ming Emperor's method before he is the legitimate monarch. Otherwise, anyone in the country has the right to overthrow him and replace him.

Fourth, the four countries unconditionally recognize the maritime frontiers demarcated in the "Daming Maritime Frontier Map".

Fifth, the Ming army permanently occupied the Hengshan Mountains and the mouth of Shun'an

Sixth, the Ming Dynasty sent officials to the provinces of Beiqi to supervise the officials

Article 7: Da Nang in Quang Nam and Xuan Dai in Phu Yen are open to treaty ports for various countries

Article 8, the tariffs of the four countries, after being reformed, will be managed by the Ming Dynasty

Among the four countries, the Mo Dynasty and the Champa Dynasty benefited the most, and the Li Dynasty was the king who returned to power, although he lost some interests, but it was still cost-effective, only the Nguyen Dynasty, not only did not make a profit, but was also forced to return a part of the land that had occupied the city of Zhancheng, which made the King of the Nguyen Dynasty very dissatisfied and laid the groundwork for the future war.

The Ming Dynasty made the South China Sea truly become the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty through the "Daluo Treaty". However, the overlord of the Indochina Peninsula is not yet the Ming Dynasty. To achieve this goal, the Ming Dynasty had another opponent, and that was the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma

The Taungoo Dynasty was the most powerful feudal dynasty in the history of Myanmar. Chinese historical books call it Dongwu, Donghu, and Diwura. Mang Rui Ti (Burmese name Delin Rui Ti) was founded in 1531 in Taungoo, hence the name. Donghu had close relations with the Ming Dynasty of China. After moving the capital to Ava in 1635, it was also called Ava. In 1424 (the 22nd year of Yongle), the Ming Dynasty set up a consolation envoy in Diwura (i.e., Donghu). In 1425 (the first year of Hongxi) and 1430 (the fifth year of Xuande), Donghu sent envoys to visit China twice. During the Wanli period, Mang Yingli invaded Yunnan, and the Ming-Burma War broke out.

In the first month of the 11th year of Wanli (1583), the Burmese army captured Shidian (now Shidian, Yunnan), attacked Shunning (now Fengqing, Yunnan) and Chanda (now Yingjiang, Yunnan). The Ming court quickly sent Liu Wei and Deng Zilong to lead the Ming army to resist, and the Ming army, with the cooperation of the local Tusi armed forces, defeated the Burmese army at Panzhihua, south of Yaoguan, and won a great victory in Panzhihua. The Ming army pursued the victory, and Deng Zilong led the army to recover Wandian and Gengma. And Liu Wei led the army to drive straight in, occupied Longchuan, and captured Yue Feng, the prime minister of Burma. After Yue Feng surrendered, the Burmese army was about to collapse, and the Ming army recovered Manmo, Mengyang and Menglian all the way, Mengmi Tusi also announced that it was annexed, and Mang Zhuo, the Burmese guard of Ava, also surrendered to the Ming court. In May of the 12th year of Wanli (1584), the Burmese army invaded again, captured Mon Mi, and besieged Wuzhang. The Ming army led Gao Guochun to defeat the Burmese invasion. Since then, the forces of the Taungoo Dynasty in Burma have been driven out of the Tusi areas of Mubang, Mengyang, Manmo, etc., and the traitor Yue Feng, a traitor who defected to Burma, was escorted to Jingshi to be executed, and the Tusi in the border areas have returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming-Burma War ended in the victory of the Ming Dynasty. But the war did not end, and at the beginning of the thirteenth year of Wanli, due to the government **, the Ming began to continue to be encroached upon by Burma. The last war broke out in the 30th year of Wanli, and the Ming Dynasty finally broke out due to the outbreak of the Korean Aid Campaign, and Burma began to make peace due to the threat of Siam in the East, and the two countries resumed normal relations on the condition that the Ming recognized that Burma legally obtained Mengyang and Mubang.

In order to send troops to Burma, Song Youliang first sent envoys to contact the Ayutthaya dynasty of Siam, which had a feud with Burma. Originally, Siam has always been a vassal state of China, and the Siamese people have always been proud of it. The Ayutthaya dynasty, like the Pixel Kotai dynasty, also attached great importance to relations with China, and throughout the Ming dynasty, Ayutthaya sent envoys to China 110 times, up to six times a year. From China, they received silk and porcelain, which were lucrative in the international market at that time, and China also obtained luxury goods such as agarwood, ivory, and rhino horn from Ayuthaya.

After the 16th century, Western colonial forces gradually infiltrated Siam. In 1516, the first treaty between Portugal and the Ayutthaya dynasty was signed, stipulating that the Portuguese could live, do business, and preach in Ayutthaya City, Tanah Salin, Megi, Pattani, and Liukun. In 1598, Spain and Siam signed a treaty of commerce. In 1612, the British were allowed to open a trading house in Pattani. In 1617, a treaty of commerce was signed between the Netherlands and Siam. Since the Westerners opened the country of Siam by force and coincided with the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, Siam has made those strange-looking Hongyi everywhere.

The current king of Ayutthaya is named Basethong, and he received Li Guozhu, the right attendant of the Ming envoy of the Ministry of Rites, with a very high standard of honor in the summer palace.

The summer palace of Siam is the palace of King Bang Pain, which was built by King Phra Chao Pa Setong in 1632. The entire Bang Pain royal palace is centered on a splendid pavilion built in the middle of an artificial lake, which is a typical Thai architectural "triple spire" style, and the pavilion tip is like a golden crown, supported by dozens of golden pillars, standing above the rippling blue waves, which is the symbol of the summer palace. Not far from the palace is an imperial garden, north of the garden is a Chinese palace-style building, named Wei Ha Jia Long Hall, Chinese called Tianming Hall, Thai-style building Essavant Tie Paya Temple, for the wooden structure building, the roof ridge has double dragon play beads, Dan Feng Chaoyang and other decorations.

Li Guozhu toured the summer palace under the guidance of King Basetong, and praised: "These scenes make the envoy think that he has returned to the Ming Dynasty." ”

"I, Siam, am as friendly as the Ming Dynasty, and I have always admired the cultural prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Over the years, Nagong has been cut off, in fact, there is something unspeakable. ”

"Oh?" Li Guozhu pretended to be surprised

Basetun said: "There is Burma in the west of our country and continues to invade on a large scale, and Annam in the east continues to encroach on our borders. ”

Li Guozhu feigned anger and said: "These prodigal ambitions take advantage of the chaos in my Ming room. It is really hateful to take away my subordinate state, and I will be the country of your parents tomorrow, how can I sit idly by! ”
