Zheng Jie, the current head of the Zheng family, is on the wall of the north gate, and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty have gone outside the city, saying that they are not afraid that it is fake, but looking at the posture of the Ming envoy, if you ignore him, he will definitely not leave, what should I do?

It is absolutely impossible to let Li Shenzong come out to take over, he is making trouble, according to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not tolerate him holding Li Shenzong hostage to stand on his own, and when the time comes, he will fight if he doesn't want to.

After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and stood up and replied loudly: "Our emperor, oh, no, our majesty the king is sick and can't come to pick him up, and it's the same if the envoy has anything to say to me." “

Mei Zhihuan naturally knew that Li Shenzong had been held hostage by them, so he stepped forward and said contemptuously: "Who are you, can you take the decree on behalf of your king?" “

Zheng Jie just wanted to send the envoy of the Ming Dynasty away quickly, he let it go, and replied loudly: "I am Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital of the Later Li Dynasty, the envoy has something to say, but please command." “

When Mei Zhihuan heard this, he said sharply: "Then don't come down and listen to the hadith!" “

When Zheng Jie heard this, he hesitated for a while but then ordered the city gate to be opened, personally came to the front of the envoys, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital of the Later Li Dynasty, listens to the holy teachings. “

Mei Zhihuan took out the "Daming Domain's Decree System" and read it aloud, Zheng Jie's eyelids jumped when he listened, but he finally respectfully took the "Ming Domain's Decree System", and said loudly: "Weichen receives the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live." “

He thought, this is to give you face, you should get out.

Unexpectedly, Mei Zhihuan took out another book and handed it over, and said coldly: "This is the detailed rules of the vassal state order system, you are limited to go to Siming Mansion within ten days to become a minister, otherwise the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow will definitely set foot in the south of Ping'an!" “

Zheng Ji gritted his teeth and took the detailed rules, and replied loudly: "Weichen obeys the order." “

But he hummed in his heart: "Hmph, we have already asked for help from the Netherlands, a European powerhouse, and they will arrive in less than ten days, and it will be up to you to see if you dare to call when the time comes." “

Mei Zhihuan naturally didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, his mission was to announce the decree, and now that the decree had been announced, there was no need to say more, he directly flicked his sleeves and turned around and left with the envoys.

Six days later, Mei Zhihuan returned to Siming Mansion and reported the decree to Zhu Cijiong in person, Zhu Cijiong frowned when he heard this, it seems that this Zheng family does not want to be a minister, if you want to be a minister, you will definitely not be such a perfunctory envoy of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't call a minister, then you can only fight.

He immediately gathered a group of generals to discuss the details of the march into Thang Long.

It is indeed not easy for 600,000 troops to pass through the vast mountains, but Daming still has a navy, and it will not take 600,000 troops to attack Annam, it is enough to transport two legions over, and the remaining 400,000 troops are used to deal with Donghu.

Zhu Cijiong finally decided to send the Tianxiong Army and the Guanning Army to land in the plain area south of Thang Long City on the warships of the Beiyang Naval Division and the Beihai Fleet, and then go straight north to Thang Long Mansion.

As soon as he gave an order, the Tianxiong army and the Guan Ning army immediately began to move to Fangcheng Xingang, the Tianxiong army had already repaired the railway between Siming Mansion and Fangcheng Xingang, and it was not very troublesome to transfer, but they had just started for a day, and a telegram came from Fangcheng Xingang, and a Dutch envoy came!

It turned out that after Zheng sent a request for help to the Netherlands, the Dutch side reacted quickly, and the Eastern Second Fleet set off directly from Batavia to Annam, preparing to stop the Ming army's attack on Annam.

That's right, the Dutch Eastern Second Fleet has been reorganized and transferred to Batavia, and the commander of the fleet and the governor of Batavia is still an old acquaintance Van Mendi!

Fan Mendi was sitting on the train from Fangcheng Xingang to Siming Mansion at the moment, his mood was quite complicated, the shadow of the last defeat and capture has not yet dissipated, this time he has to face the Ming Empire, to be honest, his heart is a little worried, of course, he is not afraid, the Ming Empire is strong, but in the face of the anti-Habsburg alliance, they are still far away, if they really fight, the final defeat must be the Ming Empire, but, in this case, it is probably impossible to prevent the Ming Empire from attacking Annam.

He had to come, the reason why the Netherlands and Britain supported Annan and Donghu behind their backs was to curb the development of the Ming Empire, but he didn't expect that they had not supported Annan and the Ming Dynasty was about to attack, at this time the anti-Habsburg alliance was not too strong in the Far East, and he would definitely not be able to do it hard, he could only rely on this mouth to see if he could scare the Ming Empire.

However, along the way, he hadn't started to intimidate the Ming Empire, and he himself was a little frightened.

He knew that the Ming Dynasty had built a strong defense line in the Strait of Malacca, so he led the fleet in the direction of the Sulu Sea, the purpose was to bypass the Ming Navy of the Malacca Defense Line, and he was secretly glad that he had led the Second Fleet in the Far East to come early, otherwise with fifty super battleships, he would not have been sure to break through the Ming Army's Malacca Defense Line and reach Batavia.

According to intelligence, the main naval forces of the Ming Empire seemed to be all gathered in the Malacca defense line, so he led the fleet to the harbor south of Thang Long City, and Mei Zhihuan had only been gone for less than three days, but Zheng Jie had already rushed to the port to meet him in person.

In the face of the frightened and overwhelmed Zheng Jie, Fan Mendi boasted that the Netherlands would provide enough artillery to help them resist the invasion of the Ming army, and when he heard that the Ming army had also built a port on the northern coast, he even led the fleet to rush over directly, thinking about intimidating and intimidating the Ming army, so that they could withdraw directly, after all, it was best not to go to war.

As a result, as soon as his fleet came to the sea outside Fangcheng Xingang, it was surrounded by the Beiyang Naval Division and the Beihai Fleet, shooting, didn't the intelligence say that the main force of the Ming Navy was all in Malacca, how could there be so many warships here, in the face of several times the number of warships, he directly gave up the idea of intimidation at sea, and instead went ashore to find His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire to intimidate in person!

Why is he so confident? Because the appearance of Zhu Cijiong has changed the trajectory of history, the anti-Habsburg alliance began to fight separately after defeating Spain and the Holy Roman Empire, and the whole world competed for colonies, but at this time, with the strong enemy of the Ming Empire, they did not immediately disperse, but began to plot against the Ming Dynasty, of course, they thought that Spain and the Holy Roman Empire had already recognized it, because the peace talks had begun, as long as the peace talks were completed, they could unite to clean up the Ming Empire.

It is for this reason that Van Mendi has become so confident, hum, the Netherlands alone may be worse than the Ming Empire, but the entire anti-Habsburg coalition is united, the Ming Empire is not enough, and they are ready to follow the model of dealing with the Holy Roman Empire to deal with the Ming Empire, that is, the Netherlands and Britain will pay for weapons, Denmark, Sweden and France will send troops to fight with the Ming Dynasty!

The Netherlands has a small population, but their shipbuilding capacity is quite terrifying, coupled with the ample military resources of Denmark, Sweden and France, the Ming Empire is not lost!
