Mo Jingwan finally came to the capital. Honglu Siqing first asked people to take him around the capital, let him appreciate the scenery of the Celestial Empire, and then began to learn etiquette in preparation for the emperor's summons. So a month later, Mo Jingkuan met Zhu Youxiao.

After Mo Jing finished saluting, he said: "I, the Mo family, have the help of the Ming Dynasty, so I can keep the high level. Now, taking advantage of the civil strife of the Zheng clan in the Li Dynasty, and with the help of the Ming Dynasty, we have restored part of the hometown of our Mo Dynasty. The king of a small country, who does not dare to call himself emperor, please give him a title. ”

The Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops from Annam in the second year of Xuande, although the monarch of the Chen Dynasty at that time was named the king of Annam, but Annam has always claimed to be the emperor internally, whether it is the short-lived Chen Dynasty, or the later Li Dynasty, or the Mo Dynasty established by Mo Dengyong.

In the nineteenth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Mo Dengyong was afraid that the Ming army would use troops against him, so he wrote to the Ming court, willing to surrender and cede the land. But in fact, it has always been called the emperor of the Mo Dynasty internally, and the Ming court knows it, but as long as they don't declare it to the outside world, they don't bother to care about them.

After Mo Jing finished saying this, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to pay attention to it at all, but he had to pay attention to it. Because the Mo Dynasty originally only possessed Gaoping, but now it has occupied the northern part of Annan, more than half of Annan. Either way, you have to soothe it.

He muttered for a long time and said, "Then let's call it the King of Nanyue." This is an issue he discussed with the cabinet a few days ago, because Mo Jingkuan's request for a name is obvious. Fang Congzhe and others thought that Mo Jingkuan could still be named the king of Annam, but Zhu Youxiao was unwilling. He felt that the name King of Nanyue could imply that Nanyue was part of the Ming Dynasty, and that King Annam, although it meant so, was not as direct as that of King Nanyue.

Mo Jingwan thanked him and said, "Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor for giving me the title." The country of Nanyue is willing to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty forever! The king of Nanyue provided a territory for the Ming Dynasty at the mouth of the Red River to show his loyalty to Nanyue. ”

Huang Kezhang had already reported this matter, and it was a condition for sending troops to help the Mo family, Zhu Youxiao said: "The king of Nanyue has a heart, in order to show the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and the people of Nanyue, I give this place the name Mingyue City, I hope everyone is like a family." ”

These are all words that are not nutritious, Zhu Youxiao waited for Mo Jingwan to come up with some substantial benefits.

Mo Jingwan said: "In order to show that the South Vietnamese Kingdom will always submit to the Ming Dynasty, it is willing to hand over all the places north of Gao Ping to the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, and ask the Ming Dynasty to station troops in Thang Long Province and Hue, and the South Vietnamese will be responsible for providing for them." ”

The drama meat is finally here, and this is like words. Zhu Youxiao knew that there would be some additional conditions behind such a good thing, so although he was excited, he still asked: "I don't know what the king of Nanyue needs to do for Nanyue." ”

Ye Xianggao frowned, disgusted that the emperor had said too much red fruit. However, he was happy in his heart, if South Vietnam was really willing to hand over Gao Ping to the Ming Dynasty and stationed Ming troops in Thang Long Province and Hue, then the Ming Dynasty's rule over South Vietnam would be as stable as Mount Tai, and the humiliation of being forced to withdraw troops from Annam could be swept away.

The ministers were also very excited, Annan's subordination to independence from the Ming Dynasty has always been a pain in the hearts of the Ming people, and it is regarded as a great failure. If South Vietnam invited the Ming garrison, such a feat would have to be written down in the history books, and South Vietnam would soon become the territory that the Ming really owned.

Mo Jingwan was secretly happy in his heart, if you are still silent under such conditions, then you can really only be regarded as ruthless. He said with a sad face: "I have crossed the area of Heng Son in the south and is occupied by the Nguyen clan. The Nguyen family was not satisfied with Wang Hua, and asked His Majesty to help South Vietnam ask for it, and to make it all gold. ”

Sun Chuanting stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the land of Hengshan is the hometown of Zhancheng, and the mountains here are high and dense, which is not conducive to the conquest of our army's firearms troops. ”

Mo Jingwan said: "Your Majesty, of course, our South Vietnamese army is charging ahead, and the Celestial Empire army only needs to help our army in key places. ”

Xu Guangqi stepped forward and said: "I Ming sent troops, there must be a reason for sending troops, now Hengshan Ruan, there is no intention to fight against the Ming, my Ming father is the king of Nanyue, if the Ruan family is willing to submit, naturally there is no need to ask." If it is determined to fight against the Ming Dynasty, it is not too late to talk about the conquest. ”

Fang Congzhe said: "Prince Mo, you also know that Jiannu is rebellious, and my Ming Dynasty has not yet been pacified. It was impossible to draw troops from within the country to South Vietnam. Therefore, to help South Vietnam, the most we can do is to use the navy. It's better to wait for some time, after I pacify Jiannu, the king of Nanyue has also stabilized the north of Nanyue, and then join forces to eliminate the Nguyen clan, what do you think? ”

Mo Jingkuan had just conquered Thanh Hoa, and the Zheng army in some places had not surrendered, and the domestic situation was not peaceful. Therefore, the top priority is to stabilize the country. He asked the Ming army to garrison, in fact, to use the momentum of the Ming Dynasty to deter all forces, so that there would be enough time to slowly complete the domestic governance. And asking Daming to send troops to help exterminate the Ruan clan is actually just looking at the future, and at the same time showing loyalty to Daming.

Therefore, after Mo Jing listened to the words of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, he just got off the donkey: "Then my Nanyue Kingdom will first settle down the northern part of the country, and then wait for the orders of the upper country." First of all, please send troops to Thang Long and Hue to show the loyalty of South Vietnam. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The matter of the garrison is just a symbol. I will have the South China Sea Economic Strategy send a navy to the land of South Vietnam. The king of Nanyue was so loyal to the Ming Dynasty that I rewarded the king of Nanyue with 10,000 pieces of silk, 100 mirrors, and 10 clocks. In addition, 10,000 volumes of the newly printed book of saints were given to the people of Nanyue, and the people of Nanyue were allowed to participate in the imperial examination in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, hoping to educate the people of Nanyue. ”

Such rewards, especially the granting of the people of South Vietnam to participate in the imperial examinations, were of great significance to the rule of the Mo style of South Vietnam. Mo Jing kowtowed again and again, thanking the Ming Emperor for his kindness, and naturally he couldn't help but show his loyalty again.

Sun Chuanting said: "Prince Mo, in the land north of Gaoping, when will our army start to take over the defense?" ”

Ye Xianggao said: "At such a time, what are you talking about?" Could it be that what Prince Mo said will be reversed? Just send someone directly from your military department to receive it. A little thing, not worth mentioning. Prince Mo, when Your Majesty gives a banquet today, you have to drink two more glasses. ”

Sun Chuanting bowed down and said, "Master Ye has learned a lesson. ”

Mo Jingwan couldn't have imagined that Daming really wanted the land north of Gaoping, and he wanted it so urgently. Ye Xiang Gaoming reprimanded Sun Chuanting, but in fact, he nailed this matter to death, so that South Vietnam had no room for repentance. However, South Vietnam didn't want to go back, the land of high and flat, few mountains and highlands, and extremely barren, gave it to the Ming Dynasty, and it was not worth anything.
