Chapter 169: The Authority of the Heavenly Empire
"Chen Shangchuan, you and others came to the end of the road before, the Lord treats each other with sincerity, and the land is compatible, this kindness is tantamount to reconstruction, you don't want to be loyal to repay, but you can't rebel!"
At the head of the county seat of Xinping County, Jiading Prefecture, Annan Pan Town, Zhang Fuyong, the dispatch officer, reprimanded angrily. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Well, this place is the Saigon of the future.
And this guy is the tallest of the Ruan family in the Mekong Delta, at this time Annam's battalion is equivalent to the province, because it has just begun to develop, there are actually only two battalions in this area, but there are only two counties under the two battalions, there is only one Jiading Mansion under the Pan Zhen Battalion, and there is only one Tan Binh County under the Jiading Mansion, which is this place, and the other is the town border camp in Dong Nai. In fact, the population of all ethnic groups in this area adds up to only tens of thousands of people, basically living according to ethnic divisions, the Chinese are divided into two settlements, Chen Shangchuan is in Bianhe, and Yang Yandi, the former commander of Guangdong Longmen in the Ming Dynasty, is in the United States, but Yang Yandi has died in internal fighting more than ten years ago, so the Chinese in this area are respected by Chen Shangchuan.
In recent years, Ming merchants often came to trade, and the Chinese here are very clear about the situation in China.
Yang Wangye has fought so much that the Tartars have no power to fight back, it can be said that pacifying the world is just around the corner, to be honest, there is no such thing, the Chinese here also want to rejoin the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that now the army of the imperial court has arrived at the doorstep, and the Annan people have no defense, they are all local snakes who have lived here for decades, originally the Annan people relied on these Chinese to fight, and now there is still any suspense under the sudden attack.
The Chinese armed forces in Bianhe and Meidi quickly dealt with the scattered Annan troops nearby, and then surrounded Zhang Fuyong's 3,000 troops in Xinping City.
Well, the Ruan family's army is actually only 20,000 in total.
"General Zhang, don't forget, the old man was originally a person of the Ming Dynasty, and now of course the orders of the imperial court must be obeyed, as for kindness or something, the old man can't abolish the public with private interests, right? What's more, Annan is a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, and Lord Ruan and Lao Yu are both Ming courtiers, so what is the reason for rebellion? However, the Ruan lord did not get the permission of the Ming court, and annexed and occupied the city without authorization, which is already guilty, although it is a period of chaos, but it is also excusable, but now the king of Wu is in the Ming Dynasty, the Ruan lord not only does not explain the table, does not send envoys to pay tribute, but also openly resists the royal division, so it should be the Ruan lord who rebels, and the old man advises the general to wake up as soon as possible, surrender quickly, and don't continue to be obsessed! ”
Chen Shangchuan said with a smile.
There is nothing strong in what he said, Annan is a subject of the Ming Dynasty, he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the Lord of Ruan is also a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Lord of Ruan is resisting the king, and the court ordered him to raise troops to fight, which is reasonable and legal no matter how you say it.
"What you say is the responsibility of my Annan court, and Lord Ruan is a minister who guards the land, how can he overstep his authority!"
Zhang Fuyong continued to say righteously.
"Does General Zhang want my Ming Emperor to go to Tokyo to find His Majesty the King of your country?"
Chen Shangchuan said with a smile.
"Huh?!"
Zhang Fuyong shut up.
Nima, he found out that he was really stupid, the official king of Annam is the Li Dynasty, but the Li Dynasty is a puppet, and the real say is the Zheng family, the sworn enemy of the Ruan Lord, if the Ming army goes to Tokyo to find the Zheng family, the latter does not say a Cam Ranh Bay, that is, even the capital of the Ruan Lord, Fu Chun, will happily rent it to the Ming army.
"If you want to fight, you will fight, what is the use of nonsense!"
He yelled in exasperation.
"Huh?"
Chen Shangchuan turned his head speechlessly and looked at Li Hua, the commander of the first battalion of the first brigade of the Ming Army Marine Corps beside him.
"Your Excellency, it's up to you!"
Li Hua said.
"Prepare for the siege!"
Chen Shangchuan said to his son Chen Dading, who immediately beckoned, and a large number of Chinese armed forces behind him carried ladders and the like, preparing to storm Xinping City.
"Master Jingluo, you don't need to be so troublesome!"
Li Hua said with a smile.
"Prepare to blast the walls!"
Then he said to the officer beside him.
"Sniper preparation, platoon gun preparation, artillery battalion aiming at the city, replacing armor shells, rocket artillery whistle preparation, blasting the city wall!"
The officer immediately yelled at the back.
On a river embankment behind him, hundreds of rifles were quickly aimed at the head of the city, and at the same time, on a mound a hundred zhang away, more than a dozen sniper rifles were also aimed at the head of the city, and then the muzzles of the four battalions belonging to seven and a half pounds of artillery in the distance were also aimed at the same target, and the rocket artillery post launched the Ming army's siege weapon vehicle-mounted heavy rocket artillery.
"Is it okay?"
Li Hua said.
Chen Shangchuan nodded dizzily, and Chen Dading and the thousands of Chinese armed forces who were holding various weapons and preparing to fight bloody battles also looked at the Ming army in a daze.
"Fire!"
Li Hua waved his hand and said.
Beside him, the herald waved the commanding flag.
Suddenly, the cannon sounded, and then the piercing whistling sound crossed their heads, and four bright fireworks immediately exploded on the head of Xinping City, and then behind them, the flames of hundreds of rifles erupted at the same time like a volcanic eruption, just when the city tower turned into a sea of fire, the Annan soldiers who were standing upright on the city wall instantly fell down, and the rocket cart pushed by four people immediately rushed up, and the surviving Annan soldiers near the city head hurriedly lowered the muzzle of the cannon to aim, but at this moment, the flames of the sniper rifle erupted, Accurate bullets hit these artillerymen in an instant.
Immediately after that, the second round of platoon guns rang out.
Immediately after that, a second round of shells fell.
This was followed by sniper rifle fire.
Under the dumbfounded gaze of Chen Shangchuan's father and son and those Chinese, the head of Xinping City could not see the living, and at this time the rocket artillery vehicle had arrived at the moat, after lighting the firing fuse, the four gunners rushed out at the fastest speed, and then the blazing flames flew out and crashed into the city gate hole, like the explosion of the sky and the earth cracked, the lava-colored flames expanded like a monster, and the low city wall instantly turned into fragments that rose to the sky, falling like raindrops in the smoke of gunpowder.
"Nanjing, that's how it exploded."
In Chen Shangchuan's shocked gaze, Li Hua said reservedly.
"Attack, kill!"
Chen Dading, beside him, suddenly came to his senses, drew his saber and pointed forward and shouted.
Thousands of Chinese armed men rushed over like a tide of shouts, while the Ming marines drew their bayonets one after another, and then rushed to the blown gap with their bayonet rifles in their hands.
There is nothing to say about the rest of the battle, there are only a few thousand Annam troops in total, what can they use to resist an opponent who is almost twice their size? What's more, there are nearly a thousand Ming troops armed to the teeth.
Half an hour later, Chen Shangchuan stood in front of the captured Zhang Fuyong.
"Looks like I'm really old!"
He looked at the Ming soldiers who were stained with the blood of the Annan Army, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This can't be called a battle at all, it's purely a one-sided ruling, and this Marine Corps is said to be not the real elite of the Ming Army, the elite are all in the army, especially the cavalry brigade and the first three infantry brigades in the army, and now the Marines are all of this strength, and he finally understands why the Tartars, who he can't defeat after 30 years of bloody battles, will be beaten by the Ming army in three years.
"Your spirit will never grow old, and as for fighting, it is indeed a matter for young people."
Li Hua said very frankly.
Zhang Fuyong looked at them tremblingly, it was obvious that the ferocity of the Ming army had also deeply hurt his weak heart.
"Let General Zhang go!"
Chen Shangchuan looked at him and said.
No matter what the two say, they are also old friends, and he still can't do this kind of thing after killing him.
"General Zhang, go back and tell Lord Ruan that King Wu has no other meaning, it's just that you occupy a place that doesn't belong to you, if you are willing to put back the family of the King of Champa and return the south of Quy Nhon to the city, and then give you a few words of kindness in front of the prince, this matter will be over. We are very grateful that you blessed us back then, as long as this matter is resolved, we will still be friends in the future, I can't go to those rebels in the north to be friends, right? I believe that King Wu doesn't like those rebels either! ”
Chen Shangchuan helped Zhang Fuyong up and sowed discord in a serious manner.
This battle basically wiped out the Annan army in this area, and the rest was waiting for the possible attack of the main force of the Annan army, but it is difficult to say whether they have the courage to do so, after all, the Ruan family is so powerful, and then a brigade of the official Ming army in Annan was transported to Cam Ranh Bay, and then this brigade guarded Cam Ranh Bay with a brigade headquarters and two battalions, and the other two battalions were sent to Chen Shangchuan and Mo Jiu respectively to help them train their own army armed with Ming weapons.
These two families are bounded by the Mekong River, and the north of the Mekong River is regarded as the jurisdiction of Chen Shangchuan, and he exercises the right to conquer, and whoever dares to disobey will be beaten, so that it continues to expand northward, until it expands to the place that Yang Feng thinks is appropriate, under the banner that the Ruan family annexed the city without the consent of the Ming Emperor.
This is indeed the remit of Daming.
As the boss, it is the responsibility to maintain order between the younger brothers, arbitrate the contradictions between the subject countries, the Ruan family destroyed the city, and the Ming Dynasty has the obligation to teach them to be people.
And Mo Jiu's duty is to expand westward.
His banner is Shui Zhenla, that is, the king of Cambodia did not take the initiative to pay tribute to Daming, his task is not to directly annex Shui Zhenla, that kind of poor mountains and bad water does not make much sense, Yang Wangye's goal is only to force Shui Zhenla to recognize the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty, open the market to exempt from all kinds of taxes, in order to be used as a dumping ground for Daming industrial products, he said at this time that it is too early to annex all parts of Southeast Asia directly, what he wants is just the blood-sucking method of the European colonizers.
After the arrival of the troops stationed in Annan, they had already completed their rest, and the Daming Expeditionary Force, which had been trained for combat in a tropical environment, set off again and went straight to their next stop.
Strait of Malacca.
At the same time, the fleet of the Dutch East India Company, which had already received the news, had also gathered in Malacca, ready to fight to the death with the Ming army, and even the Dutch warships stationed in India and the Portuguese warships stationed on Timor Island also joined the anti-Ming army, a total of nearly 30 large and small warships were waiting for the battle.
