Cui Chengxiu said: "Since I can't conquer the Ruan clan by force now, it is even more necessary for me to mediate with them and prepare for the future occupation by force." ”

Zheng Zhan saluted a military salute and said, "Then I wish Yushi a smooth journey." ”

Choi requisitioned a transport ship from the Navy and took his attaché to live in the port of Feifu, while Zheng Zhan began negotiations with Mo Jingkuan on the distribution of the spoils after the war.

Mo Jingkuan promised to set aside a piece of land at the mouth of the Red River for the Ming immigrants to live in, so as to provide food for the Ming navy. Huang Kezhang sent a special envoy to the mouth of the Red River with immigrants from Leizhou Prefecture in Guangdong.

The officials of the Mo Dynasty took the envoys and Zheng Zha, and others carefully surveyed the local situation, and this was only a small fishing village, with a population of just over 100. After consultations between the two parties, a 23-hour stretch from east to west and 19 miles from north to south were set aside for Chinese immigrants to live in. As for the fishermen who originally lived here, when the envoy consulted them, they all expressed their willingness to join the Ming nationality and become a Ming national. The envoy tentatively named the place Hekou, and the official name was to be approved by the emperor.

There were more than 3,000 immigrants, and each of them was given 50 acres of land, which was only a very small part of the land. Therefore, the special envoy had no choice but to go back immediately and ask Huang Kezhang to recruit more immigrants from Leizhou Mansion or Qiongzhou Mansion to come and occupy this place.

Huang Kezhang then sent a letter to the Leizhou, Qiongzhou, and Lianzhou governments in Guangdong, asking each government to provide more than 3,000 immigrants, farmers or fishermen. The immigrants were promised 50 acres of paddy fields each, and they would not have to pay taxes for five years, and the fishermen did the same.

These three prefectures are all close to the sea and have a large population, so when they heard that there was such a good thing, everyone naturally rushed to immigrate here. As a result, more than 12,000 immigrants were recruited in the three states. The Nanhai Jinglu Yamen commissioned agricultural cooperatives to purchase a large number of buffaloes and transport them to the estuary.

The Hekou Branch of the Agricultural Cooperative was formally established. Buffaloes are not given to immigrants for free, but are leased to farmers, with a buffalo renting one stone of rice per year and returning to the agricultural cooperative after five years a strong buffalo between three and four years of age.

Fifty acres of paddy fields for one person, without buffalo to rely on people to cultivate, it is almost unimaginable, because here three crops a year, the working time is longer, so the buffalo leasing business is excellent, every family is willing to rent cattle, so that the cooperative has to buy a batch of buffalo in the mainland and Annam, only to barely meet the needs.

The estuary was a good place to build a wharf, but there was a shortage of manpower, so only one temporary berth was built for naval vessels to dock for a short time. The original port of Thanh Hoa was handed over to the Ming Navy by the Mo Dynasty, and Zheng Zha's fleet was anchored here.

Mo Jingkuan saw the power of the Ming army's artillery twice, and was full of confidence in unifying Annan. He also knew that it would be impossible to defeat the Ruan clan without the help of the Ming army, so he asked the crown prince Mo Jingyu to befriend Zheng Zha, but the Ming army had requirements and met them all.

Of course, he also knew that the decision was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty emperor and his subordinate Huang Kezhang. So he asked his second son Mo Jingwan to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty in the name of tribute, and first asked Zheng Zhan to send someone to escort him to Taiwan.

After Mo Jingwan was taught a few times by his father, he witnessed the force of the Ming army, so he has now become a staunch pro-Ming faction. After seeing Huang Kezhang, he first saluted and said: "Mo Jing, the prince of the Great Mo Dynasty of Annan, has finished paying a visit to Lord Qincha of the Kingdom of Shangguo. ”

Huang Kezhang hurriedly stepped forward to support him and stopped him from saluting and said: "Your Royal Highness, this is unacceptable, you are the special envoy of the Emperor of the Mo Dynasty, and the foreign ministers should salute first." ”

Mo Jingwan cried: "My Mo Dynasty was forced by rebellion and retreated to Gaoping, but I still got the gift of the Ming Dynasty." Today, our dynasty defeated the Zheng family, and it was only with the help of the Ming Navy that it was successful. I wish to always serve the Ming Dynasty as the Lord, and be a member of the Ming Dynasty for generations. ”

Huang Kezhang persuaded: "The loyalty of the Mo Dynasty is slightly known in this scripture, and when I play my emperor, my emperor will definitely reward Emperor Mo." ”

Mo Jingwan said: "The hateful Hengshan area, the Ruan family's rebellion has not disappeared, I want to fully settle Annan, but I can't catch it, I want to borrow troops from the Ming Dynasty, and I also ask Qin Cha to state it." ”

Huang Kezhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, the prince, although my emperor is young, his idea is extremely stable. If you go to Beijing this time and directly state your thoughts, our emperor will naturally give you a satisfactory answer. ”

Mo Jingwan saw that he didn't let go, but he was already very satisfied that he didn't obstruct him in the middle. He believed that the conditions he proposed would definitely satisfy the Ming emperor, so he agreed to send troops to help exterminate the Ruan clan. When the time comes, you will be able to unify Annam, and you will be able to look at the cities of Zhancheng, Zhenla, and mourn the countries.

At this time, Cui Chengxiu had already come to Fei Fu Port, Fei Fu is the name of Westerners, and the local name is Hoi An Town, and after he entered the port, he found that there were many Chinese merchants here.

Hoi An is still some way from Hue, and Choi Cheng Xiu plans to go to Hue the next day to meet Lord Nguyen. After dinner, it was getting dark, and he was sitting in his room thinking about tomorrow's strategy when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

He jumped up, grasped the hilt of his sword in his hand and said, "Who?" "His entourage will always be outside when he asks for it, and will never knock on the door.

"Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Wang Jianxiong asks to see Lord Qincha." A deep voice rang out outside.

Cui Chengxiu was a little relieved, he held a sword in one hand, opened the door with the other, and a man in his thirties bowed motionless.

Cui Chengxiu stepped back and sat on the chair, and Wang Jianxiong slowly walked in and gave a military salute.

Cui Chengxiu put away his sword and said, "I have to be vigilant here." ”

Wang Jianxiong said: "Lord Qincha is so careful, and the little one is full of admiration. The small one with ten Jinyi guards has been in Hoi An for two years as a businessman, and his mission is to find out the information of the Nguyen clan in the south so that it can be used by adults for decision-making. ”

Cui Chengxiu said: "You came here two years ago? Jin Yiwei is really well prepared. ”

Wang Jianxiong said: "After He Zhongwei's incident two years ago, the emperor asked me to send people to the three sides of Annan. Gather information for our army to come. Today, the little subordinates saw our Ming army and warship, so they paid attention, so they followed Lord Chincha and his party to the hotel, and the little one got the news that he came to report the situation of the Ruan clan to Lord Chincha. ”

Cui Chengxiu was worried that he didn't know anything about the Ruan family, and when he heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed.

Wang Jianxiong handed over a thin pamphlet and said: "This is a summary copy of the situation investigated by Jinyiwei in the past two years, and the original has been sent to the capital not long ago. The records in it are complex, and the military, geography, and economy are all involved. It was supposed to be for the army. However, when Lord Qincha came to send an envoy, he should be interested in the situation of the government in the south, and the small one should first explain the basic situation to Lord Qincha to listen, and maybe it would be useful. ”
