Mo Jingkuan said with a smile: "After I was originally a Han Chinese, I have been under Chinese rule many times, from the Han Dynasty to the Liu Song Dynasty, from the Southern Liang to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, we are all part of China. From the Yongle period to the Xuande period, we are one of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, why send the Ming people out, isn't it good for Daming Annan to be as close as a family? ”

Zheng Song smiled: "Are you willing? ”

Mo Jingkuan smiled: "What's unwilling? When the Ming Dynasty ruled Annam, they would never set up counties in person, and would always let the Annamite people manage Annam. With your back to a big tree, isn't it just a good time to enjoy the shade? ”

Zheng Song looked at Mo Jingkuan in surprise and said: "You actually think so, the Ming Dynasty rules Annan, and the Annan people are oppressed by the Ming people, how can this be made?" ”

Mo Jingkuan said: "Now that the Ming Emperor is smart and natural, his policies in the Ming Dynasty will make the Ming Dynasty stronger and stronger." I think differently from you, I think that the Ming Emperor will not let the Annan people be oppressed by the Ming people for the sake of the stability of Annan. Besides, no matter how much you oppress me, it won't be pressed on my head. I occupy a high level, in the poor mountains and bad waters, there is not enough of anything, and I am always worried about your attack. I am attached to the Ming Dynasty, occupy the entire Annan, no longer worry about foreign enemies attacking, but can be a fox and a tiger, such a day will definitely be more comfortable than my current days, do you think I will oppose the Ming Dynasty's rule over Annam? ”

Zheng Song said: "You may be forced to remove the emperor's honorific title, so are you willing?" ”

Mo Jingkuan sneered and said: "You are just a king of peace, who holds the rights of officials to appoint and dismiss, levy taxes, draw ding, and govern the people, and your status is hereditary, and you are known as Lord Zheng, while Emperor Li is only responsible for listening to the government and receiving envoys in the court. Do you think honorific titles are important? Then why don't you just call yourself emperor? Willing to be a king of peace under Emperor Li? ”

Zheng Song sighed, knowing that he couldn't convince Mo Jingkuan, so he had to ask, "What are you going to do with me." ”

Mo Jingkuan said: "How to talk about disposal." I will take you, lead my Mo Dynasty army and your Zheng clan to surrender troops, defeat Qinghua, reunite you with your son's family, and play a good show of father's love and filial piety for us to see. I also want you to watch me capture Hengshan, bring Ruan Phuc Yuan to recognize your relatives, and let the past enmity and enmity come to an end together. ”

Zheng Du said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to surrender and serve Your Majesty." ”

Mo Jingkuan laughed and said: "Brother Zheng is really a handsome man, so knowledgeable about current affairs. Untie him and take him out to pacify the Zheng army. ”

Zheng Song closed his eyes and thought to himself, why don't you let yourself die, so that you can't see these people you don't want to see, and you can't see those things you don't want it to happen? There is the tiger of Daming added in, not to mention the existence of people like Mo Jingkuan who just want to look up to Daming's breath. It is no longer possible for Annan to remain independent.

After Thang Long Mansion was captured, Mo Jingkuan reorganized his troops, and then sent people to invite Zheng Zhan and them to discuss the attack on Thanh Hoa.

Mo Jingwan carried the valuables he had snatched from the Shenglong Mansion Palace and the Ping'an Mansion to Zheng Zha's own selection, which made Zheng Zha's embarrassment. However, under the guidance of the ideology of not taking for nothing, and taking not for nothing, accompanied by the military judge, he still selected some gold and silver treasures. This is all to be registered, and all of them must be handed over after returning to China, but the imperial court will give them a proportional part of the return as the welfare of their troops.

The mouth of the person is soft, so Mo Jingkuan sent someone to invite, and Zheng Zha, Lin Shuzhen, both immediately came to the palace of Shenglong Mansion.

Mo Jingkuan warmly invited the two of them to sit down, pointed to the map hanging on the wall, and said, "Now that the Thang Long Mansion has been captured, we are ready to attack Thanh Hoa, I wonder if Commander Zheng can help us?" ”

Zheng Zhan said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister received an order from me to help His Majesty attack Thanh Hoa, and now he has captured Thang Long Mansion without authorization, I am afraid that I will be blamed by Lord Jingliu when I go back." ”

Gui Shuzhen also said: "Your Majesty, our army has gone through this battle, and the soldiers are tired, and I am afraid that we will not be able to fight again. ”

Mo Jingkuan thought to himself, you have only fired a few shots, and you have never fought with Zheng Jun at all, what are you tired of? The day before yesterday, the emperor also said that you got off the boat and walked around, checked the geography, and learned about the specialties, is this a tired look? However, he understood that this was a condition, so he said: "If your army has any requirements, you can put them forward, and we can discuss everything." ”

Zheng Zha said: "I heard my family say that Your Majesty is willing to give us a piece of land for the Ming Dynasty to cultivate and raise ourselves, we have no interest in farming, only hope to get a port to dock the warships, I hope Your Majesty can reward us with a piece of land." ”

Mo Jingkuan frowned, he promised to set aside a place for the Ming people at the mouth of the Red River, that was in exchange for the Ming army. Now that the Ming army can't just a few cannons, they want to get another local garrison, and this appetite is too good.

Zheng Zha said: "Your Majesty, we only need a good harbor, which is still managed by officials appointed by His Majesty, and we only need to dock military ships occasionally." ”

Mo Jingkuan smiled: "That's nature. After I captured Thanh Hoa, I had to continue south and attack the Nguyen rebellion. At that time, the Ming army and naval divisions will also be helped, and then your army will be stationed in a good port near Thanh Hoa, so as to assist our Korean army in unifying Annam. ”

Zheng Zhan hesitated for a moment and replied: "The foreign minister has thanked Your Majesty for your kindness, and our army will help Your Majesty unify Annam." ”

Thang Long Province is about 260 miles away from Thanh Hoa. Mo Jing took the army by land, and Zheng Zhan led the boat out to sea from the Red River, and after gathering with the boats at the mouth of the river, he went all the way down the coastline and soon reached the vicinity of Thanh Hoa.

At this time, the army of the Mo Dynasty was still slowly attacking the city and allocating the land, and the Ming army was bored, so they first carried out some coordination exercises at sea. And the Annan army in Thanh Hoa City watched the Ming army perform, but they didn't dare to send a few of their own small boats to attack at all.

A few days later, the Mo army finally reached the outside of Thanh Hoa. Mo Jingkuan was also powerful, and he ordered Zheng Song to be tied to a shelf and pushed to the west gate of Thang Long City. Then let the soldiers start shouting: "Zheng Jie, your old father is here, you quickly tie yourself up and surrender, we can spare the people of Qinghua." ”

Zheng Jie originally abandoned Thang Long Mansion and ran to Thanh Hoa City after his father was held hostage by his uncle, he would not have cared about his father's life or death, how could he surrender when he saw his father. However, Zheng Song was in front of the battle, which was an excellent shield, and Zheng Jun at least did not dare to shoot arrows.

After Mo Jun shouted a few times, he saw that the city ignored it. Mo Jun changed his words again: "Zheng Jie, you are a disloyal and unfilial rebel, you have no king and no father, and you should be condemned to death." The people of Qinghua, the emperor of the Great Mo Dynasty is here, please go out of Qinghua, we will not investigate the past. Otherwise, after the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not stay! ”
