(Thank you for the monthly passes of 'V Old Man', 'Male Recognition Thirty', 'Heaven and Earth', 'Bookworm Boulder', 'RBB' and other brothers, thank you.) )

Fifty miles south of Thang Long Province, on the north bank of the Jin River.

The Jin River was the dividing line between the Annam and North Vietnam dynasties.

In the forty-ninth year of Zhengde, the thirteenth king of the Nguyen dynasty of Annam, Nguyen Quang Zan, proclaimed himself Emperor of Dai Viet.

How could Zhengde endure this, and immediately sent Mu Guogong, who was guarding Yunnan, to lead the Yunnan army and more than 200,000 troops in Guangxi to conquer Annan, as more than 100 years ago, under the army of the Ming Dynasty, all the way like a bamboo, and soon occupied the entire territory of Annan. Emperor Zhengde, like Yongle, is a little bit of great joy, and he doesn't want to continue to treat Annan as a vassal state, but is ready to change it to a political envoy.

Therefore, the imperial court established the Annan Political Envoy Department and set up the management of the Liuguan, and in order to appease the locals, many officials, including the three-in-command right senator of the Political Envoy Division, were all served by Annan people.

As soon as he left, those local officials carried out the banner of reviving the Ruan dynasty, killed the officials sent by the Ming Dynasty and raised their banners again.

The emperor was furious, and repeatedly issued orders to reprimand, reproaching Mu Guogong for his ineffective suppression of bandits, and making him guilty and meritorious service, leading the army to go out again......

The battle has been going on for some time, but this time it was particularly difficult compared to the last time.

The Ming army was surprised to find that the Annan army, which was short of materials and backward weapons in the past, had become well-equipped and had sufficient supplies, and even the war and march had become orderly.

There is no doubt that the re-rebellion of the political envoy of Annam is inseparable from the three major countries on the Indochina Peninsula, the Khmer Kingdom, the Angkor Kingdom, and the Siam Kingdom.

The strength of these three big countries on the Indochina Peninsula is not considered top, so naturally there is no way to compare with the Ming Dynasty, but if it is compared to the Tatars, Warat Jurchens, etc. in the north, it is not too much, and they support Annam behind their backs, which is a bit troublesome.

But after all, the Ming Dynasty is a national strength and military strength far more than Annan, coupled with the domestic instability of Annan, there has always been a resistance force, this generation of Shizhen Yunnan Muguo Gongmu Xinrong is also very capable of fighting, leading 200,000 heroic and warlike Yungui soldiers along the Yao River, Heishui River two big rivers south, and Annan more than ten fierce battles, without exception, the Annan army collapsed.

The difference in strength between the two sides is not reflected in the number of people -- in fact, due to the special climatic reasons of the Indochina Peninsula, abundant water vapor, sufficient heat, and fertile land, rice can be produced three to four seasons a year, and the annual output of one mu of land is at least about 14,500 catties, far exceeding that of the Susong region, which is China's traditional grain-producing area, and is even more than that of the northern region.

The abundant food supply feeds a large number of people, and Annan alone is only the size of a Guangdong political envoy in the Ming Dynasty, but it feeds more than 20 million people, and in order to fight against the Ming Dynasty, Annan is almost the whole country is a soldier, so they are not lacking in troops, not lacking at all. Compared with the 100,000 and 200,000 army of the Ming Dynasty, Annan is the real army, often 780,000, and even the Ming Dynasty was mobilized back then, and the record is 7 million, they claim to be 2 million troops and the British Gong Zhang Fu let it go, but they were still beaten by Zhang Fu's 150,000 Ming elites.

Therefore, on the contrary, it is generally the Ming army that is at a disadvantage in numbers.

The Ming army, on the other hand, had no advantage other than them - training, weapons, tactics, strategy, and even the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers were incomparable to them. …,

Ten peasants who had just put down their hoes and picked up bamboo spears could kill one Ming army, but a hundred Ming troops could definitely kill a thousand peasants.

And Annan has dragged Daming into the quagmire of war over the years, and why haven't they themselves been dragged into the quagmire of war? It's just that Da Ming only felt some burdens, and what they lost was the whole country. In recent years, Annan has been in turmoil, and even a unified central government cannot be maintained for a long time, let alone a standing army.

Therefore, despite the support of Angkor and other countries, the Annam army was still defeated and retreated.

On the twenty-ninth day of the fifty-first lunar month of Zhengde, the day before the traditional New Year's calendar, Mu Xinrong, the prince of Muguo, led his army to attack Thang Long Mansion, the capital of the 'Great Yue Empire', and the Dayue Emperor Nguyen Quang Thanh, who had just been enthroned for less than a year, led the younger brother of the former emperor Nguyen Quang Zan, who was cut off by the Ming Dynasty, led 30,000 remnants of the air force to escape from Thang Long Mansion and escape from the Jin River.

With the Jin River as the boundary, Annam was divided into two parts - North Vietnam and South Vietnam.

Due to some special reasons, Mu Xinrong did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but stopped, and played the imperial court, saying that the reason why Annan was repeatedly defeated and fought repeatedly, and the repeated expeditions ended in rebellion, is because the people of South Vietnam were extremely stubborn and untamed, and the people of North Vietnam were descendants of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and they were also descendants of my Yanhuang Miao.

After a court discussion, everyone thought so, although Zhengde was a little unwilling, but he also knew that Mu Guogong's suggestion was indeed Lao Cheng's strategy to hold the country, and if he continued to fight, it would not be something that Daming could bear.

Therefore, an edict from the emperor arrived, ordering Mu Guogong to return to Yunnan, and then asked the officials of the Guangdong political envoy to choose Li Qing, the head of the Li family, who was close to the Ming Dynasty, and supported him as the king.

Li Qing Jiannian Xiang Ming, meaning the heart to the Ming Dynasty, Zhengde fifty-one years is the first year of Xiang Ming, the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, sent envoys to Beijing, is the North Vietnam Dynasty.

The dividing line between the North and Annam is the Geumgang River.

Thang Long Mansion was originally the consistent political, economic and cultural center of Annam, and the surrounding area was also extremely rich, but it was too close to the front line, so after ascending the throne for more than ten days, Li Qing took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to move the capital to the north to Thang Long Mansion for 200 miles, located on the shore of the Ming River, a tributary of the Jin River, and it was also the populated Xuanguang Mansion.

And Thang Long Province has become a key point of the Viet Nak Dynasty.

It was a normal morning.

To the south, there is no difference between the four seasons, the temperature is always quite high, but the morning is still very cool, the sky is gloomy, with a heavy wet cool breeze blowing from the Jinjiang River, but also makes the patrol soldiers wearing only a single coat feel a chill.

This is a small checkpoint on the north bank of the Jinjiang River in the south of Thang Long Province, about a few hundred meters away from the river bank, said to be a sentry post, if it is placed in Daming, it is a strong bunker, and here, it is just a rejection horse at the intersection, and then a simple thatched hut is built next to it for resting.

With only ten soldiers stationed at this outpost, the symbolism was far greater than the actual significance.

The army of Annam followed Nguyen Quang Thanh back to the south of the Jin River, and those who remained in the north were defeated, and the Ming Dynasty was reluctant to help the North Vietnam Dynasty form an army out of some concerns, so the number of troops in the North Vietnam Dynasty, which had been established for almost five months, only hovered around 10,000 people, and basically the remnants of the defeated troops of Annam who had surrendered at the beginning, and the combat effectiveness was very doubtful.

In such a short period of time, the rule of the Viet Cong Dynasty was still in a preliminary stage, and even the local government had not yet been established, and if it were not for the fact that Thang Long Province was an important town facing Annam, it is estimated that even these soldiers would not have been stationed. …,

But the north of the Yue Dynasty up and down, whether it was the people or officials, or even the high-ranking king Li Qing did not care, in their opinion, with the powerful Ming as the backing, how dare Annam provoke himself?

So now Li Qing is busy requisitioning the people to build his own rich and luxurious palace, rather than forming an army.

The sky was gloomy and silent, as a buffer zone between the two countries, it was naturally sparsely populated, and the originally prosperous banks of the Jinjiang River had been completely deserted, and the fertile fields on the bank were now overgrown with weeds. There was no half of the people, and only the sound of the river crashing on the shore could be heard.

"What a wicked!"

Xiaoqi Heiya, who was stationed in Xiaoqi, chewed a piece of grass in his mouth, stared at the empty river, and said crookedly: "At this time, why haven't you seen the fishermen from the south come out to fish?" ”

Because it was the reason for the reorganization and transformation of the officials of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of the official military system of the Northern Vietnam Dynasty was inherited from the Ming Dynasty, and the troops stationed here were the troops of a small banner.

The river is vast, where can I see half a human figure?

The days they are stationed here are extremely boring, they can't go to the village or the back of the shop, and their spiritual life can be said to be barren and unlikely. So, every day, watching the fishermen on the other side of Annan come out to fish, look at the exposed thighs of the toned and beautiful fish girl on the boat, say a few words of meat from afar, and laugh twice, which is their only pastime.

If you're lucky, you can't say that people will be shy and timid, and you'll be really happy for a long time.

One of the soldiers also took a sip and said, "yes, it's time to shout and get up here in the past." ”

Another soldier said, "It can't be that Annan's side is coming, right?" ”

This thing doesn't pull a few on weekdays, and he doesn't talk much, but at this time, he came out coldly, and immediately scared everyone else.

"Fuck you!" Xiaoqi Black Fang spat and kicked him in the ass: "Those cowards in the south have already scared the Great Tomorrow Army to fight it, and they dare to fight back?" ”

"Yes." Another soldier chimed in: "Even if we call, what are we afraid of, it's a big deal to bring them down!" ”

"Alas, don't fight, I originally joined the army just to eat, if I really fight, I can't tell if I can go home or not." The other soldier sighed.

Suddenly, the sound of water suddenly fought, and Black Fang turned his head in confusion and muttered to himself, "Could it be that it is raining heavily upstream, and the water is rising again?" ”

The sound of the water waves became more and more blowing, and everyone's eyes were looking in the direction of the Jinjiang River, but if there was a mist in front of them, it was always a little difficult to see.

Just as they were secretly guessing, some vague black shadows suddenly appeared at the end of their sight.

When you get closer, you can see that it is a ship—a myriad of ships, warships, fishing boats, and even magnificent yachts, and without exception, all of them are full of men, men with steel knives in their hands, and menacing soldiers.

"You're a fucking crow's mouth!" Black Fang's face immediately turned pale, his lips trembled, and he stared at the soldier who said he was afraid that Annan would come and scolded, and then he jumped up nervously and shouted: "Annan's gang of dogs and puppies are coming, brothers, we are not opponents, run for your life!" ”

After that, Black Fang took the lead and galloped in the direction of Shenglong Mansion, and the soldiers were not to be outdone, and followed him and galloped wildly.

Before they could get far from the river, the boats approached the riverbank, and before they could reach the shore, a number of soldiers jumped out of the boats, shouted arrogantly and arrogantly, waved their weapons, and waded into the water. …,

And when the ship docked, I don't know how many soldiers poured out from above, dense, like moving ants, and some peasants dressed up, from the boat to the shore between the heavy and strong planks, and then from the boat down a large number of cavalry, they rode the special pony of southern Xinjiang, this kind of horse is more than a foot shorter than the northeast horse, but the endurance is good, the carrying force is also good, and good at walking rugged mountain roads.

As soon as these horsemen got out of the boat, they galloped forward on horseback, and how could they outrun four legs on two legs? With the shaking of the sturdy war horses and the blades that flashed with dazzling light, the hideous Annan cavalry quickly approached, and Heiya and the others were immediately drowned in the swarming wave of Annan cavalry, and there was no trace of it.

On the third day of the fifth month of the 52nd year of Zhengde, the 'Emperor of Da Viet' Nguyen Quang Thanh appointed his son Nguyen Ngoc as the general of the expedition to the north, raising 600,000 soldiers across the country, known as 3 million, to launch a surprise attack on the North Vietnamese Dynasty.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the army conquered Thang Long Province, the first important town in the south of Vietnam, and all the 5,000 defenders of Thang Long Province surrendered.

Subsequently, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack Tuyen Quang Mansion, the capital of the North Vietnamese Dynasty, and besieged the city on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and launched a fierce siege battle on the same day.

Three days later, the city was broken.

The king of the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam, Le Thanh, and his five sons were killed in the city, and his three daughters, thirty-five concubines, were all rewarded by Nguyen Ngoc Thanh to meritorious soldiers, and the military generals of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty surrendered one after another.

A few days later, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh won a series of battles, and on May 15, he recovered the entire territory of the Northern Dynasties.

30,000 Annam cavalry flaunted their might outside Zhennan Pass.

In the entire Northern Yue Dynasty, except for the seventh prince Li Tong, who sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty on behalf of his father and wanted to study in the Ming Dynasty for three years, there was no survivor.
