The spring of the eleventh year of Xuanwu has arrived!

In the spring of this year, Zhao Zhe led an army of 100,000 to the south and entered Annan!

The interest of the people in recovering Annam was much greater than the expulsion of the Mongols! After all, in the eyes of most Chinese people, Annan belongs to the former land, and the current group of people in Annan are traitors to the Central Plains and must be eliminated! Moreover, Annam has a fixed territory and cities, and it is much easier to attack Annam! In contrast, the Mongols in the steppes lived nomadically and had great difficulty encircling the Mongols. $100=degree=search=4=library=book=small=say=net=look=most=new=chapter=section******

Zhao Zhe went south in February, all the way like a bamboo, and on March 15, 100,000 Song troops came to the city of Jiaozhou!

Jiaozhou was the Hanoi of later Vietnam, and during the Qin and Han dynasties, it was the largest area ruled by China! At the earliest, the seat of Jiaozhou was located in Guangzhou in later generations, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Three Kingdoms, Jiaozhou belonged to Wu State, and Wu State divided Jiaozhou into two places, Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and the seat of Jiaozhou changed to Hanoi in later generations.

100,000 Song troops surrounded the area, and they launched a ferocious attack on Jiaozhou.

On the city wall, the Annamite people are also resisting vigorously!

Arrows are flying, and the shouting of killing is earth-shattering!

It's late at night, and the Song army's attack still hasn't stopped!

From March 15 to March 21, six days and six nights, the Annan soldiers on the city wall of Jiaozhou were almost dead, and the city of Jiaozhou was finally broken! Countless Song troops poured into the city of Jiaozhou.

Zhao Zhe led tens of thousands of main forces towards the very center of Jiaozhou City, where the so-called imperial palace of Annam was located.

At noon, the Song army surrounded the palace of Annam.

Half an hour later, the gate of the Annam Palace opened, and an extremely beautiful woman walked out with a child in yellow in her arms, and countless ministers of Annam followed behind the woman.

This woman is the Empress Dowager Annan, and she is not yet twenty years old! That child is the historical Vietnamese Li Dynasty Li Yingzong, but this Li Yingzong is now just a three-year-old baby, and now Annam is regent by the Empress Dowager Lê, and the woman is the Lê clan!

Li Shi fell to his knees on the ground, his face full of tears! Behind Li Shi, those Annan ministers also had sad faces, and countless Annan ministers were also crying. They all know that Annan is finished! Starting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Annam became independent, and in just two hundred years, Annam has experienced two dynasties, and now, this dynasty has also come to an end! Before, the Central Plains was unable to recover Annam, but the Central Plains never recognized Annam's independence, and now the Central Plains is extremely powerful, and finally completely destroyed Annam.

Hearing his mother's cry, Li Yingzong, who was only three years old, also cried.

"Come on, help the Queen Mother up!" Zhao Zhe said loudly.

At this moment, Zhao Zhe's body was full of dirt and blood, and his hair was extremely messy, but there was an excited look on his face.

Finally laid down Jiaozhou! The remaining Annam and South are much weaker than the North!

That night, more than 3,000 Song troops escorted the Empress Dowager, the emperor, and the ministers of Annan to the north, and these people were finally sent to Yanjing City, while Zhao Zhe continued to lead the army south.

By mid-April, the whole of Annam had been recovered, but there were still people resisting in many parts of Annam, and Zhao Zhe's army was now scattered all over Annam.

On April 21, Yu Yunwen came to Annam as the emperor's envoy, and he met Zhao Zhe south of Jiaozhou.

They are both ministers from Guanshan, and when they were in Guanshan, they had a relationship, and when they met at this moment, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Lord Yu, I have already ordered someone to collect all kinds of documents in the Annan court, and they can be handed over to you at any time! Annam is not as large as Goryeo, but its population is not as good as that of Goryeo, with a population of just over 1.5 million. The two walked towards the barracks in front of them together, Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

The area of Annam in this era was much smaller than that of Vietnam in later generations, only the size of a province in the Central Plains! As for the population, the population density was extremely low in most places during this era, and Annam was no exception.

"The Government Council asked me to take charge of the political affairs of Annan and establish a government office in Annan! But before that, Annan still needs to implement military control! For more than half a year to come, your army will stay in Annam! Yu Yunwen said.

"The resistance of the Annam people is much fiercer than that of the Koreans! Although we have conquered Annam, there is no peace everywhere! Many Annamites do not submit to our rule. Zhao Zhe said.

"Before I came, the Government Council and the Ministry of Military Affairs discussed the issue of Annam several times, and if the resistance here is really fierce, we can relocate the population of Annam in large numbers if necessary! Annam has a population of just over 1.5 million, and we can move half or more of it to the north, and then 300,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps will go south to Annam! Yu Yunwen said.

"This ......," Zhao Zhe had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"I will carefully examine the situation in Annan, and then make a decision, and report my opinion to His Majesty and the Government Council, and then Your Majesty and the Government Council will reply as soon as possible! We have recovered Annam, then we must make this place a part of the Great Song Dynasty completely, and we can no longer let this place be divided! When there are five dynasties and ten kingdoms, they will be divided, and they will be divided in the future, so we will completely change the blood here, so that all the people here will be loyal to His Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty, so that the culture, system, and everything here will be the same as the Central Plains. Yu Yunwen said.

"I see!" Zhao Zhe nodded.

At this moment, in distant Siberia, in the far north, a large group of wild people is running on the wasteland!

They all had unshaven beards and unusually shabby clothes, but they held refined swords and other weapons in their hands.

They were running very fast, and as the sun set, a large pool of water faintly appeared in front of them, and everyone had a smile of surprise on their faces.

They ran faster, almost as hard as they could!

Finally, the boundless sea appeared in front of them again, and this group of "wild men" couldn't help but kneel down, and tears of excitement flowed from the eyes of many wild people.

"We're at the beach again! That's great! It's been half a year, and we're finally at the beach again! A young man in the lead said excitedly.

This young man is none other than Wu Gong, who separated from Wang Gui in July last year! And those people behind him were not savages, but naval soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty!

"When we get to the beach, we can go back again! It's just that our ships can't be found! "There is a man next to him.

All of them are in their twenties, and they are all elites in the army.

"The ship is gone, we can rebuild it! In fact, if we go all the way south along the land, we will definitely be able to return to our hometown! Wu Gong laughed.

"General, we have been wandering around this land for half a year, and although we have explored many places, we have not gained much! The place in front of me is extremely empty and has a lot of products, but it is too cold to live in! General, I want to go to the sea again, and maybe I can find some big islands! A dusty young man next to him said.

"I wonder what else is on the east side of the sea? The last time we arrived at Kushajima, we should have continued east! Wu Gong thought so deeply and said.

Wu Gong stood on the seashore and looked into the distance, although it was already April, it was still very cold here! They had been walking for more than half a year, and they had also made maps, but the maps were also very rudimentary, after all, they were soldiers, not specialized cartographers!

"General, let's go into the sea and have a look!" A soldier laughed.

"Good!" Wu Gong thought for a long time before he suddenly spoke.

He is a natural explorer, and in his opinion, the experience of this half year is much more interesting than the experience of many years in Guanshan and the Central Plains! He didn't even think that glory and wealth could compare to adventure!

"Let's build a few boats and head out into the sea! We are all naval soldiers, and we have lived at sea for so long, even if it is a small boat, we can move forward! Wu Gong laughed.

The soldiers next to him also laughed together.

"But we've been missing for so long, the Navy will definitely look for us, and we'll send someone back to report to the War Department!" Also, we have killed many tigers and bears in the past six months, and these white tiger skins and white bear skins are the most complete, and they are gifts to Your Majesty, so we will also send them back! We also want to tell Your Majesty that we have discovered the endless rivers and mountains of the north! Wu Gongdao.

The surrounding soldiers nodded their heads, all with excited expressions on their faces.

They were all young men in their twenties, and they were all interested in exploration, and now that Wu Gong decided to continue east into the sea, everyone was naturally excited.

Early the next morning, they began to build ships, and ten days later, more than 2,000 soldiers were heading east, and only a little dozen headed south, ready to tell the Admiralty the news of the place.

Wu Gong set out in the morning, and at noon came to a small island, on this small island there is a strange bird, these birds are very large, the wings are extremely short, and the body is black and white! Wu Gong drew the bird into a diary, along the way, he recorded the diary almost every day, he felt that he could show his relatives and friends after he returned, which was also a rare and precious memory.

In fact, this bird is the Arctic penguin! In later generations, the Arctic penguins were extinct, and they are still found in the Arctic.

In the afternoon, they continued to set off, and a cold wind blew in the north late at night!

The next morning, they saw a glacier on the sea, and the soldiers stood on the boat and cheered loudly.

At noon on this day, the ship docked again, and Wu Gong thought that he had come to another big island, but he didn't know that this was where the North American continent was located in the future! They crossed the Bering Strait, which was only 80 kilometers wide, and traveled from the Asian continent to the North American continent, with Alaska in front of them.
