"What did they say?"

On the battleship Weihai, Luo Zhang, commander of the Ming Expeditionary Force and commander of the Nanyang Fleet, looked at Liang Hong, the special envoy of the Ministry of State Affairs, who was climbing up the gangway, and said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Of course I refused!"

Liang Hong said with a smile.

"Okay, carry out the second plan, send the order fleet, and target Cam Ranh Bay!"

Luo Zhang immediately said to the chief of staff beside him.

"Oh yes, I just like it!"

Then he muttered to himself.

Well, they are outside Hoi An Port in Annam at this time, the so-called punishment of the Dutch by the Ming Expeditionary Force, and the rescue of the captured Daming people is just a banner, the real goal is to re-establish the suzerainty of the Ming Dynasty over Nanyang, or to complete the colonial rule of Yang Wangye over the Nanyang, and the first stop of their trip is of course Annam.

At this time, Annan was in chaos.

In the north is the Zheng family, theoretically the Later Li Dynasty is orthodox, but in practice the Later Li Dynasty emperor is no longer bullshit, and it is the Zheng Gen of the Zheng family who really holds the power, somewhat similar to the shogun of the Wa Kingdom, which is usually called the Jiaozhi State in China. In the south, the Nguyen family, often known as Quang Nam Kingdom, is currently ruled by Nguyen Phuc Huan, who has just perished and occupied the city, and originally the country would have developed into the Annam Nguyen Dynasty that modern people are familiar with, but now it can only be said to be a separatist force.

In addition, there are Chinese separatist forces in the Mekong Delta region.

Previously, Zheng Chenggong's old troops Yang Yandi and Chen Shangchuan led 3,000 troops south to surrender to Nguyen Phuc Huan's grandfather Nguyen Phuc Than, who used them to seize Dong Pu, that is, the area around Saigon, from Shui Chenla, that is, Cambodia, and after the Chinese built it, the Ruan family picked the fruit. Now it has been set up as Jiading Mansion, but it is still relatively strong Chinese, it can only be said that the forces of all parties are mixed, but nominally it already belongs to the Ruan family, in addition to Mo Jiu, who occupies the southernmost point, that is, the area of Ha Xian opposite Phu Quoc Island, he is also a remnant of the Qing Dynasty, although he surrendered to the Ruan family, but in fact it was more like a warlord, and later Westerners even simply called it a port state.

If Yang Feng wants to regain suzerainty over Nanyang, it is of course necessary to defeat the Dutch, but he also has to really control this vast area and use it as a colony in the future, just as he did in Goryeo.

Then he must first have a military base.

This military base can only be Cam Ranh Bay, except here, no matter which port along the coast of Annam now, it is impossible to dock his battleship, this thing has a draft of six or seven meters deep, and there are really not many ports that can dock, even in China, there are only Changguo, Weihai and several military ports, and even Macao Port can't enter, and he is ready to build a military base in Hong Kong in the next step.

And the same is true of the coastal areas of Annam.

Only Cam Ranh Bay, the only natural military port that can be said to be the best in Asia, is the only place where battleships can be accommodated.

And his way is to rent.

But since Ruan Fuxuan refuses to rent, then he can only change to rob, anyway, it's not the first time he has done this, and you won't do it if the Heavenly Dynasty asks you to rent a port, that's just shameless, since this is the case, simply don't rent it, and annex it directly.

Immediately afterwards, the huge fleets at sea anchored and headed south.

On the shore of Hoi An Harbor, Ruan Phuc Huan, who was watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief, it was obvious that this unprecedented huge fleet brought him a lot of pressure, and the ministers next to him all knelt down to the side and praised his wisdom and martial arts, which was comparable to Le Li back then, which made Huang Guogong also quite ambitious. Of course, he didn't know that at this time, thousands of miles away on the Saigon River, an old man with white hair and wearing the uniform of the Ming Dynasty general was sitting in the cabin of a small wooden boat, stroking an antique saber in his hand, and quietly sailed past the Jiading Mansion controlled by the Annamites and headed for the mouth of the river hundreds of miles away.

At the same time, a small fleet of dozens of old warships from the south also sailed through the mouth of the Mekong River.

Early the next morning, the old man's wooden boat met the fleet.

Immediately afterwards he was taken to the largest warship in the fleet, and said a few words to a middle-aged man of about fifty, and then the two of them entered the cabin together, and at the same time the middle-aged man ordered the fleet to continue north, along the coastline and go straight to Cam Ranh Bay.

Because of the wind direction, more than 700 miles of sea route, their fleet walked for five days, when they finally appeared outside the mouth of Cam Ranh Bay facing the rising sun, on the sea in the distance, a huge ship towering like a mountain was coming at high speed with the wind, on those towering masts, a red dragon representing the Ming Dynasty hugged the sun and moon flag and hunted and danced in the wind.

The two fleets soon encountered.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, you are getting more and more energetic as you get older!"

Luo Zhang said while standing on the deck of the Weihai.

"You are?"

Chen Shangchuan, the former Da Ming Gao, Lian, and Lei Sanzhou commander-in-chief, looked at him suspiciously.

"Me? You probably won't remember me, at that time I was just a personal soldier next to General Qiu, this is Mo Lao Hero, right? Summons all ships and fire guns to salute several old heroes! ”

Luo Zhang said with a smile.

With the signal flag of the herald waved, starting from the Weihai, the left and right side gun doors of each ship opened, and in the deafening cannon sound, one after another blazing flames continued to erupt, from front to back in the huge fleet that stretched for nearly ten miles, thousands of cannons kept ringing all the time, paying tribute to these overseas remnants who can truly be called national heroes, even in the most difficult and desperate moments, they did not choose to surrender to the foreign invaders, they would rather go to a foreign land to open up the wilderness, than accept the pig's tail that represents the barbarians.

And now, they have finally waited for the light.

"Da Ming Gao, Lian, Chen Shangchuan, the chief soldier of Lei Sanzhou, listens to the seal!"

Immediately afterwards, Liang Hong walked out and said with the holy decree issued by Yang Wangye.

"Chen Shangchuan listens to the seal."

Chen Shangchuan hurriedly knelt down on the deck and said.

"The wind knows the strength of the grass, the country is difficult to show loyal ministers, check the former high, Lian, Lei Sanzhou general soldier Chen Shangchuan, in the time of the national disaster in Jiashen, with a weak scholar, not afraid of the Tartar brutality, resolutely raised troops Zuogui Wang to protect the Ming Sheji, more than 30 years of bloody battles, although the strength of the lonely did not change the original intention, even if the end of the road did not fall into the late festival, for the Jiaqi Loyalty Festival, specially named Wuchuan Marquis, and to occupy the city of the city of the city set up the road, to Chen Shangchuan as the city of the city of the strategic envoy, to the right of conquest, Wanger diligent for the country, so that the Ming King Puze occupies the city.

The fifth day of the second month of the seventy-seventh year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Feng, King of Wu, the Ming Dynasty. ”

Liang Hong read.

"Minister's decree, thank His Royal Highness King Wu Longen."

Chen Shangchuan hurriedly kowtowed and said.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Hong took out another holy decree.

"Mo Jiu listens to the seal!"

Then he shouted.

The current River Immortal King Mo Jiu hurriedly knelt down.

Liang Hong immediately read out the reward for him, and his knighthood was one level lower than Chen Shangchuan's, and he was named Hai Kangbo, both of whom were knighted in their hometowns, and his official position was that of the Zhenla Sutra.

Yang Wangye's plan is very simple, that is, let these two land snakes be his thugs, he will send a small number of troops, no more, one person will match them with a battalion, and then provide them with advanced arms, and let the Ming army train their own army for them, so that it will be enough for them to complete the task. The Ruan family has just completely annexed the city, and many of the people who have conquered the city still have the will to resist, with Chen Shangchuan's influence here and under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to force the Ruan family to withdraw from the city, of course, even if they don't retreat, it is nothing more than fighting.

It doesn't have to be the entire Champa city, as long as it is south of Quy Nhon, so that the Cam Ranh Bay base will be guaranteed.

Then provoke the Ruan family to continue to fight with the Zheng family, and even help the Ruan family, the Zheng family and Kang Mazi are better, and they can fully support the Ruan family to beat them, anyway, after losing this piece, the strength of the Ruan family has also weakened significantly, and they can't beat the Ming Dynasty, if they want to develop, they can only continue to fight with the Zheng family in the north.

And Zhenla is actually weak.

They have been abused by the Ruan family for all these years and can't find a place to cry, and now they have changed from wild dogs to tigers, what else can they do?

After the proclamation, the two fleets sailed into Cam Ranh Bay, as for the guard of this port, this is not worth mentioning at all, in fact, this can only be said to be a small fishing village at present, when the defenders of nearby Nha Trang got the news and rushed to arrive, the Ming army had already completed the landing. Immediately after that, they dispersed the Annan army like ducks, and began to requisition the local people to build temporary bases, and the Ming army, which had driven thousands of miles, also needed to rest before they could continue to advance, and during this period, Mo Jiu's fleet and the Ming merchant ships were responsible for transporting various materials to this side.

As for the new envoy of Champ......

He had more important work to do, and his trip was kept secret.

His main control area was Saigon in later generations, but it was still the Jiading Mansion that the Nguyen family had just set up, and there were many troops stationed, and what Chen Shangchuan needed to do was to go back and gather his men and horses to suddenly attack and kill this Annam army first. As for the weapons he needed, Mo Jiu sent them to him, including a small detachment of the Ming army, and Mo Jiu couldn't control him because the place was too far away, nominally he was a magistrate in Annan, but in fact he was a soil emperor and a separatist warlord, there was no danger to him, and Luo Zhang would send a few warships to him.

In addition, the Ming army will also wait in the sea off Saigon, including Mo Jiu's subordinates will also send a part of the army, the two sides will make an appointment, once Chen Shangchuan's side moves, the Ming army and Mo Jiu's army will immediately march into the Saigon River to land reinforcements, and control the situation as quickly as possible. As for the rest of Luo Zhang, it didn't matter, Yang Wang Ye would send another Ming army to take over Cam Ranh Bay and help Chen Mo and the others, while the expeditionary force continued to attack Malacca in the south.

"What's it called? This is called the destruction of the false way! ”

Luo Zhang said with emotion. (To be continued.) )
