The grievances and grievances of the Mo clan, the Ruan clan and the Li clan in Annam actually have nothing to do with Fan Jinyan.

However, he now does not have the ability to control the entire situation in Annan, either in terms of overall strength or talent pool.

Therefore, a Fan Jinyan needs a puppet regime that completely obeys his orders.

The Mo and Nguyen clans, which had ruled in Annam for hundreds of years, were so entrenched that they could not be at his mercy.

Of course, Lai is not a good thing, but at least for now, he does not have the ability to challenge his prestige.

Therefore, Li Shi is the most suitable to become Fan Jinyan's spokesperson in Annam. At the same time, he is also the most suitable pawn to help him unify the countries of Southeast Asia.

After figuring out these joints, Fan Jinyan got up and left the big tent and came to the headquarters where the troops were assembled.

Since he landed on the land of Annam, Fan Jinyan has seen that these small countries in Nanyang are not only poorly armed and have low combat effectiveness, but most of the soldiers are still farmers who were temporarily recruited before joining the war.

So, it is easy to eliminate these countries.

But the premise was to drive the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company out of the South Seas

"Master Hou." Yang Dahai saw Fan Jinyan walking to his side, and hurriedly saluted sideways: "The soldiers are ready, whether to fire the cannon." ”

Fan Jinyan shook his head, casually beckoned a soldier with a loud voice, and after whispering a few words in his ear, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go!" ”

After the soldier bowed and saluted, he took a war horse and rode up, beat the horse to the bottom of Thang Long City 300 paces and stopped, and shouted: "Everyone in the city listens, Mo Gaoxuan, the king of that country, dares to oppose the free trade of Ming merchants, ignoring our Ming hereditary Jinghaihou, the general of Zhennan, and the transfer of our army to punish the general." Go back and tell your little king, and tell him to wash his neck and wait. Of course, if you don't want Thang Long City to be like Jianping City, after half an hour, you can carry your king's head! ”

shouted three times in a row before returning to the camp.

As for the expressions of the soldiers upstairs in Thang Long City, no one below cared.

Anyway, they are the meat that can be slaughtered on the board, soft persimmons, and they can be pinched as much as they want.

Half an hour is an hour.

Fan Jinyan couldn't let the soldiers just stand in place and wait, so he ordered them to rest freely on the spot, and each of them also distributed Qiongzhou's special military rations and canned meat.

In fact, it didn't take long, not even half an hour, when there was a commotion in Thang Long City, and soon the city gate was opened from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, a group of ministers and soldiers wearing linen and filial piety slowly walked out of the city, led by none other than the white-bearded old man, who held a plate covered with white cloth in both hands, and moved slowly while crying bitterly with the support of two young ministers.

Fan Jinyan would have done it by the Li clan, but he didn't expect it to be brought out by the old guy of the Mo clan himself, could it be the hands of the Mo clan themselves?

Fan Jinyan never moved, and sat there quietly waiting.

At a distance of several hundred meters, the Annan people walked for a long time before they came to a place ten meters away from Fan Jinyan and stopped.

The white-bearded old man slowly knelt down, held the tray in both hands, raised it above his head, and choked up: "The subjects of the lower country, present the king's head, and only ask Jinghai to spare the people of the city." ”

After saying that, he bowed down again and buried his head deep in the ground.

Fan Jinyan walked up to the old man and gave Mo Yao a look.

Mo Yao instructed, squatted down and uncovered the white cloth with blood stains on the tray, and it was indeed a human head on it.

The head was open-eyed, full of reluctance, fear and despair.

Mo Yao's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and he returned to normal, got up and said to Fan Jinyan: "Master Hou, it is indeed Mo Gaoxuan. ”

Fan Jinyan nodded, and said to the old man: "You are very pleased to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but there is one thing that is unknown, who killed Mo Gaoxuan?" ”

The old man raised his head and laughed miserably: "It was the old man who cut off the king's head with his own hands."

Fan Jinyan was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "You are the old man of the Mo clan, so it doesn't make sense." ”

"What's wrong? If the king does not die, the dragon will be destroyed, and Annam will die, and he will die as well. Since Gao Xuan is the king of Annan, he should take the initiative to sacrifice his life for the sake of Annan. After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly looked pained, covered his stomach and fell to the ground and shrunk into a ball.

Immediately afterwards, he spit out a mouthful of black blood, and said with shortness of breath: "I am sorry for the ancestors of the Mo family, I can only forgive my sins with one death, and I only ask the Hou Ye to treat the people well."

Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head and completely lost his breath.

The people behind seemed to know that the old man had taken poison early on, and after seeing the old man dying, they didn't mean to go up and call, but just knelt there and cried in a low voice.

For this kind of loyal person, Fan Jinyan has always respected from the bottom of his heart, so he said: "The king of Annam turned his back on the Ming Dynasty, his sin is unforgivable, and his head is permanently hung above the city gate. The old man's behavior made Benhou admire, and he allowed him to be buried with royal rites. ”

"Xie Hou Ye" Everyone originally thought that the clan elders would be thrown into the wilderness, but they didn't expect that Fan Jinyan would be buried with royal gifts, which is a great respect for the deceased, not only the ministers of Annan, but even Mo Yao also knelt down to thank him

In this way, Thang Long City was occupied by Fan Jinyan in a near-peaceful manner.

In the next two days, except for 1,000 Ming soldiers who entered the city to take over the city defense and palace defense, the rest of the army continued to garrison the camp outside the city, and there was no offense against the people, which also reassured the frightened people.

Of course, Fan Jinyan himself must have lived in Mo Gaoxuan's palace unceremoniously, and his queen was naturally released back to her mother's house as a widow, but the so-called queen mother has never shown up, as if she was planning to devote herself to cultivating Buddhism.

Fan Jinyan couldn't stay in Annan for too long, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and directly filmed people to inform the county guards in various places, and those who did not report to Thang Long City within ten days would be killed

Now that the king is dead, the county guard dared to touch his moldy head at this time, and it was only five or six days later, except for the unlucky Nghe An county guard who died during the naval shelling, the rest of the county guards all rushed to the royal capital all the way to accept their final fate.

Except for Li Weiyou, these county guards are all descendants of the Mo family, and in Fan Jinyan's eyes, they are all meat on the board, obedient lives, and disobedient deaths.

Fan Jinyan sat on the throne of King Annam, looked at the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials and county guards with nervous expressions, and the first thing he said was, "From now on, Annam will abolish the hereditary county guard system." ”

What the???
