Chapter 676 Annan
At the mouth of the Pearl River, the river is wide, a large fleet of ships, docked on the shore, the fleet has more than 50 large ships, except for five huge three-masted warships, the others are also the main force of the sailor No. 1 lucky ship, which can be described as a forest of masts.
At this time, the elite soldiers of the brigade were lining up to board the ship, and there were also many people who carried generations of rice grain and water to the ship.
Since the Three Treasure Eunuchs went to the Western Ocean, the Ming Dynasty has not organized a huge fleet to enter the South China Sea for a long time, and this voyage of 10,000 miles is also a huge challenge for the Guangdong sailors.
On the wharf, Wang Yan stood with a group of officials, one on the left and one on the right, and it was the two generals who served in this mission, one was Yu Fangqi, the general of the naval division, and the other was Qian Yifeng, the general of Qiongzhou.
These two people are his confidants, especially Qian Yifeng, who has followed him since he was in Qingzhou, has been taking care of the original Zhongyi camp and Yangzhou dependents on Qiong Island, and also helped Jinghai merchants to do some things, and is very familiar with the situation in Nanyang.
Wang Yan stood by the wharf, the river breeze blowing, his robe bulging, he spoke: "This domain will send people to Quanzhou to contact Zheng Guo, and at the same time send people to Macao to connect with Portugal, and entrust maritime merchants to write to Luzon Xiyi to jointly encircle and suppress Heyi, and you two are responsible for contacting many vassals, I don't know if you have a plan in mind." ”
Yu Fangqi clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, the last general and others will go along the coast, first to Annam, Chenla, and Siam, contact the vassals, and if the time is ripe, they will seize Malacca from the hands of Heyi. ”
Wang Yan has learned a lot about the important nodes in the Nanyang trade in recent years, and he also knows the importance of Malacca.
Wang Yan nodded, but he still had some uncertainty in his heart, after all, there were less than 5,000 men and horses, and there was no precedent for going to fight thousands of miles.
This time, in addition to leaving a small half of the naval division to maintain the coastal defense of Guangdong, most of the naval divisions were dispatched, and 1,000 elite soldiers were also transferred from Qiongdao to accompany them.
"If you can go down, if you can't go down, then slowly draw slowly!" Wang Yan looked at the sailor on the river and ordered.
Yu Fangqi and Qian Yifeng immediately clenched their fists, "The last general knows!" ”
Wang Yan turned his head and said to Qian Bingrup behind him: "Please ask Master Qian for the matter of the decree." ”
Qian Bingrup said with a smile: "This preaches the power of the Celestial Empire, shocks the barbarians of the South Seas, and the lower officials should do their best!" ”
At this time, Wang Yan looked up at the sky, and the soldiers on the shore had all boarded the warship, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
Hearing the order, several people clenched their fists solemnly, bowed back a few steps, and then turned around and boarded the big ship.
After a while, the sound of "anchoring" and "sailing" spread across the river, and the huge white sails on the ship were slowly pulled up, like pieces of white clouds covering the river.
Wang Yan stood on the wharf, watching the entrance and exit the Pearl River estuary into the sea, before turning around and returning to the city.
A few days later, Wang Yan asked Chen Zilong, Liu Shun, Li Guo, and He Gang to preside over Liangguang, and after he explained it properly, he hurried to Wuchang.
After a few days at sea, the fleet was replenished with fresh water at Qiong Island and arrived in Annam first.
At this time, Annam was in the post-Li Dynasty period, and both Annam and Korea were known as Little China, in addition to absorbing the excellent culture of China, the traditional dross also absorbed a lot, and there were all kinds of party disputes and separations.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Annan Chen Dynasty accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, ranked among the fifteen countries of Taizu, and became a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but during the Chengzu period, the Annan Chen Dynasty was usurped by the powerful minister Li Ji Yak, this matter is in charge of the old nature, Chengzu immediately sent troops to destroy the Li Dynasty, but the Chen family has been killed by the Li family, the Chen Dynasty is the heir, Chengzu should be the request of the elder of the Annan officials, "Annan is the original state, willing to retro the county, and the people are renewed", with the establishment of the address to announce the political envoy.
The Ming Dynasty directly unified Jiaozhi for more than 20 years, the implementation of changing customs, Confucianism and education, but the people here continue to rise, the Ming court used soldiers every year, the cost was not calculated, and the cost of ruling was much higher than the benefits, and finally in the second year of Xuanzong Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Sheng, the chief officer of the Ming army, suffered a major defeat in the local area, the Ming Dynasty was determined to withdraw its troops from now on, away from the quagmire, and the Yue people Li Li also established the Hou Li Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty finally withdrew its troops, for more than 20 years, the implementation of changing customs and Confucianism has made many systems and culture of the Han people have a profound impact on Jiaozhi, which is no different from Korea, and the Later Li Dynasty soon accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty again.
At this time, the situation of the Later Li Dynasty was similar to that of the Japanese shogunate, and it was also similar to the Ming Dynasty, the country was a mess, Li Weiyou, the king of Annam, was basically a puppet, and the government was presided over by Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital.
If that's the case, that's fine, but there is still the Cao Binh Mo Dynasty and the Li Dynasty competing for the crown in Annam, and there is another king of the opposite sex in the south who is separating the Quang Nam Nguyen clan, and the whole country is in chaos, and all kinds of internal strife are not inferior to China.
Although Annan is small, it has all kinds of organs, and the story staged is no different from that of China.
In such a ******, there are so many docks in the country, this decree was passed on to the Li family, the puppet king, what he said was the same as what he didn't say, and it was passed on to the Mo family, so the Li Dynasty must have a big opinion, so it can only be passed on to the ministers.
With so many doors, so many docks, and I am not familiar with the situation of the countries in the Qing Nanyang, this errand is really not good.
The fleet first arrived in Thang Long and declared its will to Zheng Jie, the actual controller of the Li Dynasty, asking Annam to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in attacking Heyi, sever trade with Heyi, and add the four big characters "Daming Guo" to the flag.
Shenglong is close to the Ming Dynasty, so Zheng Jie has some understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty did not lose the country, but the situation is not much better, the capital has been captured by Jianyi, and has not been recaptured so far, it can be said that he is too busy to take care of himself, he thinks that the Ming Dynasty does not have the energy to look south, so Zheng Jie is not willing to offend Heyi, he accepts to add the four big characters of "Ming State" to the banner of the Annan Army, but he is very cold to the fight against Heyi.
The first will did not achieve the effect, which made Qian Binglu, who thought he could respond to every call, feel very frustrated.
As an official of the Ministry of Rites, the main official and vassal have been in exchange, although the tribute has decreased over the years, he did not expect the status of the Ming Dynasty to decline so quickly.
At this time, Qian Bingjian couldn't help admiring Wang Yanlai in his heart, if he hadn't been transferred to the Lifan Yuan to envoy Nanyang, he wouldn't have known that the influence of the Ming Dynasty had been so weak.
He was desperate to revive the prestige and influence of the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang, but his eyes were completely black as to what to do next, but fortunately, at this time, a Ming merchant in Thang Long suggested that he could go to the south of Thang Long and go to Hue to talk to the Quang Nam Nguyen clan.
The fleet then set sail and headed south, intending to restore the influence of the Ming Dynasty.
