Volume 8 Chapter 314 The New State Capital is Re-established
Sun Chuanting was really a little nervous at this time, 10,000 against more than 100,000, it was indeed no problem when encircling and suppressing the anti-thieves, the problem was that the army of the Donghu Dynasty was not a thief, their equipment was better than that of the anti-thieves, I heard that the defenders in this Ava City still had muskets and artillery, they had to carry the artillery out desperately, it would be troublesome, but people bought authentic Hongyi cannons with the Dutch!
At this time, King Talong in the city was even more nervous than Sun Chuanting, because he didn't understand why the Ming army suddenly rushed to Ava City, he hadn't provoked Daming in the past few years, what was Daming for?
He thought about it for a few days, but he still didn't dare to start a war with the Ming army, although he didn't pay much attention to the Ming army, but he was quite clear about the strength of the Ming army, if he dared to take the initiative to go to war, it would not be the tens of thousands of Ming troops in front of him, and it might be hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands later.
Of course, it is not a way to always spend it like this, Sun Chuanting just led the second wave of men and horses to besiege Ava City, and King Talong sent an envoy to ask for negotiations to see what Daming wanted to do.
This can make Sun Chuanting very happy, negotiate, okay, the Donghu Dynasty is over!
It is not that he had the confidence to persuade the king to surrender through negotiations, but since the king of Taron had sent a messenger, it would prove that they were in the city, and he would not negotiate with them at all.
His reply was that our envoy had not yet arrived, and that we would have to wait a few days for negotiations.
This is also one of Zhang Bin's pre-set strategies, no matter when King Ta Long sends an envoy to negotiate, don't be in a hurry, wait for all the troops to arrive, and then "talk" with him.
When the army is all ready, what else is there to talk about, 80,000 against more than 100,000, plus hundreds of light ironclad ships to help, the Ming King Division will absolutely crush the Ava defenders, and King Ta Long must surrender, if he does not surrender, then fight until he surrenders!
Within a few days, the remaining 10,000 horses and 30,000 Fuguang troops of the Qin army finally arrived, and the entire river near Ava City was also full of light ironclad ships.
His request simply made King Long dumbfounded, and he actually asked the Donghu Dynasty to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, change all the territory into the state capital of the Ming Dynasty, and accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty!
What are you kidding, he refused without thinking about it, this big tomorrow is afraid that it will be crazy, this guy thinks that the current Ava City is still the Ava City of decades ago, in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking Ava City again, he paid a huge price to buy eighty Hongyi cannons with the Dutch, and put them on the city wall, even if the Ming army comes, he is not afraid.
In fact, it is not that Zhang Bin is crazy and boundless, but that the prince of Donghu is crazy and that there is no boundary, Zhang Bin has sent a messenger to the prince of Donghu Pingdali to mention this request, but people didn't pay attention to it at all, and they didn't even send someone to inform him of King Long, so King Long was inexplicably surrounded by the Ming army in Ava City.
Zhang Bin was not joking with King Long, as soon as King Long refused his request, he gave the order and began to bombard the city of Ava.
This time, he did not bring a thousand catties of Franc machine guns, because the Dajinsha River is less than two miles west of Ava City, and the artillery on the light ironclad ship can completely bombard Ava City, and he doesn't need to bring a thousand catties of Franc machines over at all.
This time it can scare King Long stupidly, five hundred cannons bombarded in turn, and the roar of the rolling thunderous cannons was almost uninterrupted, it was really terrifying!
The Dajinsha River is less than two miles west of Ava City, and the light ironclad ships on the river can bombard the city, and the Hongyi cannons in the city can naturally bombard the light ironclad ships on the river.
The light ironclad ships of the Ming army can't be destroyed at all, because there are a total of twenty Hongyi cannons on the west city wall, and their technology in controlling the artillery is not very good, and they have to brave the raindrops of shells to load ammunition, aiming and firing, the efficiency and accuracy can be imagined, basically one or two shells can hit the light ironclad ships of the Ming army in a round, and the light ironclad ships of the Ming army have no reaction after being shot, not even the big hole of the shell, how can this not make people despair!
What made him even more desperate was still behind, the artillery bombardment of the Ming army seemed to be endless, and there was no sign of stopping for several hours, and the twenty Hongyi cannons on the west city wall were all abandoned after only a few rounds of bombardment, and the city wall was also bombed with holes everywhere, and what was even more terrifying was that some shells flew directly from the city wall and flew into the city, and the whole city of Ava was bombed everywhere within a few miles of the west of the city, and the civilians in the west of the city were desperately hiding in the east of the city, and the entire Ava city was in chaos.
King Ta Long is not a strong-willed, not afraid of death hero, he was really frightened by the fierce artillery bombardment of the Ming army, like this, even the iron city wall can not bear it, after being bombarded by the Ming army for a few days, seeing that the west city wall is about to become bald, he finally sent a messenger to the Ming army to surrender.
King Talong led hundreds of civil and military officials to surrender, and the Donghu Dynasty completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and the strategy of conquering Nanyang was largely completed.
Zhang Bin didn't treat King Long as he did, he just asked King Long to sign an order, ordering all the defenders in Donghu to surrender to the Ming army, and then sent Qin soldiers to disperse to surrender.
As for King Talong, not only did he not imprison or kill, but organized manpower to build a luxurious palace for King Long in Qiongzhou Mansion, and gave him a long life, and at the same time gave him a fief of land according to the treatment of the Prince of Daming, including the King of Siam, the King of Annam, and the King of Champang, and even the Nguyen clan of Annam and the Zheng clan of Annam were crowned county kings, and they all gave corresponding fiefs in Qiongzhou Mansion.
This kind of practice made the kings of the Nanyang countries surprised and helpless, they knew that in the future, they would definitely not have the opportunity to dominate one side and become the emperor of the soil, but they were really surprised to be able to maintain a luxurious life and have a hereditary fief, and they all thought that the Ming Dynasty was likely to kill them.
Nanyang is basically peaceful at this point, but this is just the beginning, it is not so simple to completely bring the entire Nanyang into the control of the Ming Dynasty, and there are still many things to deal with.
For example, the Nanyang states had to withdraw from the original regional planning and establish new state capitals and provinces to facilitate the management of the imperial court.
Zhang Bin has long been prepared for this, the area of the southeast peninsula is about the size of four or five provinces in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Bin directly divided it into four provinces, in addition to the original Jiaozhi Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division, he also set up the Guangnan Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division, the Central South Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division and the Southeast Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Division, the original Mengyang Xuanwei Division, Mubang Xuanwei Division, Myanmar Xuanwei Division, Cheli Xuanwei Division, Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanwei Division, Laos Xuanwei Division was directly changed to the state capital, as well as the Donghu Dynasty, Siam and Champa and other regions, All state capitals and county towns were set up in accordance with the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and they were directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
At this point, the South China Sea really became the inland sea of the Ming Dynasty, and the coastal defense frontier of the Ming Dynasty moved directly south for thousands of miles, which not only made it difficult for the fleets of the great powers to threaten the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, but also laid a solid foundation for the prosperity and stability of the Ming coastal area, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
