In the twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on December 16, 1939, after more than 20 days of battle, the Champa Kingdom was declared extinct, and the Zheng family of Fujian controlled the entire territory of the Champang.

The Hue regime of Nguyen Nguyen Thi in Annam was somewhat caught off guard by the sudden destruction of Champa by the Trung family.

At present, the Nguyen clan and the Zheng clan in the north are in a relatively passive position in the war for dominance in Annam, and the main reason is that the Nguyen clan in the south occupies a large part of the territory of the former occupied city state, so the domestic people are not as cohesive as the Zheng clan in the north.

In fact, the Nguyen clan of Annam has always been fighting the idea of conquering the city, hoping to increase its own strength by completely annexing the city, in order to defeat the Zheng clan in the north and unify the whole of Annam.

However, the two sides of Annam, the north and the south were inextricably fought, and the Nguyen clan was unable to free up their hands to solve the battle of the city.

In this battle between the North and the South of Vietnam, not only the European colonizers operating in Southeast Asia participated, but also the Chinese pirates mixed in, providing naval strength for the fight between Nguyen and Zheng.

Both sides did not hesitate to throw all kinds of "official titles", "titles" and "orders" to the pirates, anyway, all it cost was a piece of paper, a large wooden seal, and a nondescript official uniform. can bring in countless people and ships to work for themselves, why not?

As for the reward, it is the free plundering of the wealth of the enemy's land.

Nguyen and Trần have fought seven major battles in history, and have fought two so far, and in the fourth major battle, the Nguyen clan gained the upper hand, and the Nguyen clan took the city of Champ.

Now that this piece of fat has been taken away by another robber, the Nguyen clan is of course in a hurry, but when Zheng Zhilong's army swept through the city, the Nguyen clan did not have time to react.

The first is the containment of the Zheng clan in the north, and the second is that Zheng Zhilong's army is under the banner of the Ming army, which makes the Ruan clan puzzled, how did the central empire in the north extend its hand to Zhancheng?

The Indochina Peninsula was already chaotic, and Zheng Zhilong was in chaos again, and at this time, the old Japanese shogunate, Katsuo Nakadoi, also returned to Japan.

At the end of December, the Honmaru Palace of the Shogunate in Edo, Japan, resounded with the roar of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the shogunate.

"Wang Yue dog thief, deceive me too much in Japan, and I won't die if I die in Japan!"

Tokugawa Iemitsu suppressed a bad breath, and after reading the "Tomorrow's Friendship Treaty" that Doi Katsuo had brought back, he burst into a rage and roared like a provoked beast.

The elder Sakai Nakamori picked up the documents that Tokugawa Iemitsu had discarded on the ground, and after reading them, he said in surprise: "Nani, is this Wang Yue crazy?" Who does he think he is? ”

After reading the rest of the shogunate's important ministers such as Laozhong, Ruonian, Bingxing, and Daimefu, they asked Doi Katsuo: "Doi-kun, is this also what the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom meant?" ”

Doi Katsuo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No, this is Wang Yue's personal meaning." ”

"Humph!" Sakai Nakamori sneered: "It's just wishful thinking, if you laugh at the countries, aren't you afraid that people will laugh off their big teeth?" I have also heard about the situation in the Ming Kingdom. There are powerful Tatars in the north of the Ming Kingdom, and they enter and exit the Ming Kingdom as if they are in a no-man's land, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, and the Ming court is helpless for decades. The Ming Kingdom was full of domestic exiles, crisscrossing most of the Ming Kingdom, and it could not be pacified for more than ten years.

Is it true that such a leaky country should put forward such incredible conditions to our Imperial Japan, and the politicians in their court are so ignorant? No wonder the country is declining, and there is already a sign of a dead country. ”

Doi Katsuo said, "Elder, you don't know much about the recent situation in the Ming Kingdom. It was this Wang Yue's Tiance army that repeatedly defeated the Tatars, who had retreated to the north and did not dare to go south for several years. ”

"He defeated the Tatars, and he dared to be so rampant?" Sakai chattered and said: "My great Japanese empire is blessed by the kamikaze, and the Mongols swept the entire continent back then, how powerful it was, and it was not that when they encountered a kamikaze in Hakata Bay, tens of thousands of troops died in the belly of the fish. Can he compare to Genghis Khan? What is the great Japanese Empire afraid of? ”

"Say no more." The Tokugawa family said with a gloomy face: "We must teach this Wang Yue a profound lesson, otherwise it will be difficult to calm the bad breath in General Ben's heart."

Doi Katsuo hurriedly dissuaded: "General, the current situation in Japan is that we must put down the rebellion first, otherwise we will not be able to cross the sea to conquer the Ming Kingdom." ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu waved his hand and said, "Is there no other way than to cross the sea to conquer?" ”

The cross-sea expedition to the Ming Dynasty is a joke, although the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, and the current Japan is also not the Japan of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

After decades of seclusion and seclusion, Japan simply did not have so many warships to support a large-scale cross-sea expedition, not to mention that Japan was still in a period of war.

Elder Sakai said, "General, what's so difficult about this? The goods of Wang Yue's starting point city flooded our country, causing a depression in all industries in our country, the people's livelihood withered, and the people fell into poverty, all of which rose because of this.

The ministers repeatedly called for measures to restrict the importation of goods from the starting point, but most of the officials were opposed, wasn't it because they were lucrative from selling them? Now it's time to take the plunge. ”

Doi Katsuo worried: "The general also asks for second thought, according to what the ministers learned in the Ming Kingdom, Wang Yue's Tiance army defeated Zheng Zhilong, and also defeated the Spaniards and the Dutch and occupied Manila and Batavia, which may lead to war. ”

Sakai Nakamori snorted and said, "Doi-kun, were you scared by that Wang Yue when you went to the starting point city?" What does it mean to start a war? Did you know that this treaty you brought back is actually a declaration of war? ”

Tokugawa Iemitsu made up his mind: "From now on, all goods from the starting point city will be confiscated and burned, and all ships that traffic goods from the starting point city will be banned from entering the port, and if there is a violation of the ban, fines will be made, arrested!" ”

……。

On the first day of the first month, the calm of the early morning in Edo, Kyoto, Japan, was shattered, and thousands of shogunate troops were dispatched in all directions, and the chaotic footsteps caused the watchdogs in the streets and alleys to bark wildly, and the residents and merchants along the streets were awakened in amazement to see the samurai and ashigaru rushing towards them like mad dogs.

Some shops dealing in goods from the starting point were smashed open, and dozens of samurai and ashigaru broke in.

"No, you can't take the goods!" The merchant confronted them with a dozen men, the goods were their own property!

"Smack, smack, smack!" The iron cannon in the hands of the ashigaru rang out, and the merchant and the man fell in a pool of blood.

"Tsutaro!" A pregnant woman rushed out and lay on top of the merchant and cried.

"The general has an order to ban the goods in the starting city, and if there are blockers, the law will be corrected on the spot!" The head samurai of the month said loudly.

The goods were carried to the streets, and the flames were ignited, a scene that played out throughout the Edo shogunate.
