Chapter 391: The Consequences of Rejecting the Good Intentions of the Great Ming

The 6th and 12th armies of the newly formed Cochin Commander attacked Annam from Lang Son and Lao Cai respectively at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the Zheng family's Annan Army is also desperately resisting, it is no different from a mantis arm under the huge strength gap, and Zheng?? There was no scene of the imaginary common people rising up to resist the invaders, and in fact, the common people in many parts of Annam rose up in groups to welcome Wang Shi. There is a long border between the north of Annan and Daming, and it is not that there is no contact between the thousands of miles of sea, in fact, it is very common for the people on both sides to marry each other.

Anyway, they are dreaming of becoming the people of the Ming Dynasty!

If nothing else, compulsory education alone can make those poor Annan people dream of it, not to mention that those poor people who have no land can still rent public land with a land rent.

The final result was that the Ming army swept across Annam like a devastating sweep under the welcome of the common people of Annam, killing the Zheng army again and again, and in less than a month, the artillery of the Ming army had been erected on the north bank of the Red River, and the muzzle of the black hole was directly aimed at Hanoi. At the same time, the occupation areas in the rear also quickly began to carry out the Ming Dynasty, including the arrival of a new governor of Jiaozhi, and the appointment of local government and county officials began to be carried out in batches, and land reform was also in full swing. These further stimulated the people of Annam in the areas that had not yet been occupied, especially after knowing that the south of the Red River was likely to be given to the Ruan family, those people south of the Red River could not sit still, and the result of their inability to sit still was to express their yearning to Emperor Yang with practical actions.

"This kind of sincere admiration for the king, don't hurt their feelings!"

Yang Feng, who had returned to Chang'an, looked at the latest telegram and said.

Although the Ming army stopped on the bank of the Red River, a large number of people on the south bank of the Red River spontaneously acted to kill the Zheng family officials, and then sent the elders to the Ming army garrison crying and shouting to return to the Ming Dynasty, and some people even claimed that the Ming would hang themselves if they didn't want them. Especially in Yanzhou Tongchun and other places in the south, which originally belonged to the Ruan family's attack, the common people simply killed the Zheng family officials by themselves, and then erected the banner of the Ming Dynasty and claimed that they had returned to the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ruan family dared to attack them, they would fight to the death.

Ruan Fushu didn't dare to fight any further.

Since this is the case, just accept it directly, anyway, Ruan Fushu has no qualifications to object, in fact, in this case, these places are given to Ruan Fushu, and he doesn't have the courage to take it, in case those ordinary people really fight with him if they go forward again, then will he fight or not? You must know that these places have planted the banner of the Ming Dynasty, built the shrine of Emperor Yang and even worn the sun and moon emblem, and even some people simply held the statue of Emperor Yang to demonstrate to him.

"In this way, in the future, it is better to simply take the Lanjiang River as the boundary, and send a decree to Ruan Fushu, saying that I owe him a personal favor, and in the future, the Lanjiang River will be the boundary, and the south of the Lanjiang River will be counted as his Annan country, and the north of the Lanjiang River will be counted as the imperial court."

Then Yang Feng said.

Since he issued a holy decree, then this matter is also decided, the scope of the Ming Dynasty continues to move forward to the Lan River, the south of the Lan River belongs to the Nguyen family's Annam, so that plus the southern Champa Province, the Ming Dynasty in the original history of the later generations of Vietnam set up two provinces, Cochin and Champang, and from Vinh City in the north to Quy Nhon in the middle, the slender waist, which accounts for about one-third of the area, belongs to the Annam Kingdom as a vassal.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army began to cross the Red River in a big way and launched a final attack on Hanoi.

"Surrender?"

Annan Jing envoy Wang Zhao looked at the Zheng family envoy with a smile.

"I was ordered to fight against the rebels, but I was not ordered to accept your surrender."

Then he said lightly.

Zheng?? Asked to surrender.

In just a month and a half, his courage vanished, although the Ming army had not yet begun to cross the Red River, but in fact almost all of his land was gone, all the towns of Annan did not hesitate to get up and kill the Zheng family officials or simply the Zheng family officials took the lead, and erected the banner of the Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible to build the shrine of Emperor Yang, waiting for the Ming army to receive it, even if the Ming army was still hundreds of miles away from them, now except for some places that are too remote and not well-informed enough, The vast majority of the Zheng family's land was planted with the banner of the Ming Dynasty.

Now Zheng?? There is only one Hanoi under its control.

And the city is trembling under the guns of the Ming army, although there is still the Red River to obstruct it, but on the surface of the Red River, it can't stop the shells of rifled guns.

Not to mention......

As soon as Wang Zhao finished saying this, suddenly, like thunder in a summer rainstorm, a series of dull and dense loud noises came.

The messenger shuddered for a moment, subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance, above the dense forest that blocked the Red River, a black cloud was gradually elongating, and then an equally black paddle steamer slowly drilled out of the boundless green, the black chimney in the middle spewed billowing smoke, the huge patron wheel on the side of the ship kept turning and pushed away the water surface of the Red River, and on each side of the paddle there was a cannon with its back to him, the fiery flames of the muzzle of the cannon shot out, the black smoke filled the sky, and the whistling of the cannonball piercing the air was faintly discernible.

And in the same boundless green in the direction of the gun, Hanoi under the same blue clear sky has been obscured by black gunsmoke.

The black of the era of industrial civilization and the green of the era of agricultural civilization, the killing machines of the industrial age and the ancient city walls of the agricultural era are as dazzling as the sun at this moment, and the latter is equally weak and dazzling in front of the former.

This is the river flotilla of the Ming army.

However, it is not an ordinary version of the river warship, but a shallow water heavy gunboat specially designed to bully Southeast Asian water network countries, simply put, they are not equipped with standard fifteen-pound guns, but forty-pound heavy guns, although this kind of small warship seaworthiness speed and range are very bad, but such two powerful guns make it an out-and-out master of all offshore shallow waters and inland waterways.

Well, this is actually a miniaturized mosquito boat.

"The lord of our country has been convicted of his crimes, and he is willing to sacrifice his land to thank him, but all he asks for is to pardon the lives of Zheng and the civil and military officials, and the general has also read the book of Confucius and Mencius, so why bother to force him here? Is it not contrary to the way of righteousness? ”

The messenger pleaded.

Zheng?? He was willing to dedicate all the land of Annam to the Ming Dynasty, and in exchange, Emperor Yang pardoned the Zheng family and his military officials, and then allowed them to be ordinary people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty. also knows that there is only a dead end for him to fall into the hands of the Ruan family, but if he is a common man of the Ming Dynasty, there is no such danger, and he does not think that Yang Feng will refuse, usually the Chinese emperor will not refuse, and even most of them will give him a small title to show the benevolence and generosity of His Majesty the Emperor.

But they were wrong.

"Well, you're mistaken, General Ben never read the books of Confucius and Mencius, nor is he a Confucian believer, General Ben only reads the Book of Sacred Oracles in his life, and only believes in the teachings of the Holy One, the Holy One said that the enemy should be as harsh as a cold winter, and the Holy One also said that the kindness of the Ming Dynasty is not cheap, and the Holy One also said that rejecting the kindness of the Ming Dynasty is the enemy, and you have rejected the goodwill of the Ming Dynasty, so you are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, and the same kindness of the Ming Dynasty will not be cheap to give alms for the second time, so at the moment when you choose to be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, It is doomed that your end will be a dead end. ”

Wang Zhao held the book of holy oracles and said solemnly.

Well, in fact, the main reason is that the people of Annam surrendered too quickly, and the Ming army has not found a chance to kill, and now there is finally a one to die, then of course they will not let it go, you must know that the discipline of the Ming army is very strict, and it is completely impossible to do bad things in the land that already belongs to the Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't matter if you are in the rebellious areas of the war, you can rob a robbery, rape a rape, kill people and set fires, so at this time, the Sixth Army of Hanoi is waiting for a big fight!

Accept their surrender?

Are you kidding? Those who are soldiers will go crazy, they have been looking forward to the day of the invasion of Hanoi for a long time.

Poor messenger was dumbfounded.

"Command, cross the river!"

Wang Zhao looked at him, and then said to an officer very casually.

Immediately under the cover of the artillery fire of the river fleet, thousands of boats on the Red River competed, hundreds of small wooden boats requisitioned from the upstream loaded with Ming soldiers forced to cross the Red River, and quickly defeated the defenders on the south bank to build a pontoon bridge west of Hanoi, heavy artillery and cavalry continued to set foot on the south bank, and then went straight to the city of Hanoi, after easily blowing open the city gate with heavy rockets, tens of thousands of Ming troops killed into the Tokyo city of Annam, and in the next five days, what they did is not recorded in history.

The only thing recorded in history is that Li Wei and Zheng Wei resisted stubbornly in Jiaozhou City, and the officers and soldiers fought bloodily and annihilated the rebel party five days later.

As for the people......

That is not recorded in history.

In short, when the governor of Jiaozhi of the Ming Dynasty arrived in his provincial capital five days later, he had to face a very serious problem......

He couldn't find enough men to clean up the ruins in a pre-war city of hundreds of thousands, and after arguing with Wang Zhao and threatening to join him, he had to go south in a rage to Thanh Hoa to establish his governor's yamen. As for the hapless Zheng?? Like the official monarch of the Li Dynasty, Li Weiyu, who was the same as the Emperor AD, became two charred corpses, but fortunately they were not charred into fried sparrows, so they could barely confirm their identities.

The war in Annam ended in less than two months.

When Lai Wei Yu and Zheng ?? When the news of the letter being sent to Nanjing reached the ears of Emperor Yang, his dragon train had just left the Xuzhou railway station.

"Hmph, a small place that is not as big as Shandong Province still has to fight for nearly two months!"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sipping tea, said.

This telegram was sent by the newly built wireless telegraph station in Nanjing, and received by the transmitter on the car, and this new high-tech technology is gradually beginning to replace the old wired telegraph system in the army, but now the priority is given to the supply of the Nanyang army, and only a few provincial capitals and the north and south of the country have begun to install it.

"Your Majesty, what about the Han Governor and the king's slaughter of the city?"

Yang Zhong asked cautiously.

"Atone for your crimes!"

Yang Feng said casually.

"Honorable."

Yang Zhong hurriedly said.

In this way, the dead bodies of nearly 150,000 Annam men in Hanoi disappeared into history without a trace.

Although it took two months to say that it took two months to fight Annan, this war was quite surprising to Yang Feng, after all, it took half a month to walk from Zhennan Pass to Hanoi's normal march, and what also surprised him was the speed of the surrender of the Annan people, in fact, he was also ready to be mired in the quagmire of war like the United States, but he didn't expect the Annan people to cry and shout to surrender to the invaders, which really made him a little regretful, you must know that he still wanted to use this war to reduce the population of Annan by hundreds of thousands!

But the matter has come to this point, and regret is useless, fortunately, Wang Zhao is very sensible, and it can be regarded as an accident to kill the Zheng family and those Annam elites in Hanoi.

As for the future, he has no interest in continuing to expand his territory in Southeast Asia.

Just keep those vassals as economic colonies.

Among them, Laos was divided into four countries, Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Champasak, and Chuankhouang, and the kings of the four countries were officially appointed by him as vassals of the Ming Dynasty. And Cambodia is still officially called Chenla, and the country is actually a continuation of the Angkor Dynasty, which was conquered by Siam and had to move east. But to the east, he was invaded by the Annan Ruan family, and had to struggle to survive under the ravages of two strong enemies, and it was the rise of the Ming Dynasty that ensured their safety, so Zhenla was still very deferential to the Ming Dynasty. There is Siam, a country that is actually about to be controlled by the Chinese, and there are more than 100,000 Chinese living in Bangkok, so there is no need for Yang Feng to annex these countries.

In fact, he had little interest in annexing Buddhist countries.

The annexation of these countries does not bring him much tangible benefits, on the contrary, as an economic colony, it can bring him a market that can be squeezed to his heart's content, and the annexation of him has to pay for compulsory education in these countries, and if he does not annex it, he can suck the blood of these countries to his own people, which of the two is very simple.

Myanmar remains.

At this time, the Taungoo Dynasty was already different from what it used to be, it should have struggled to survive in their shadow, and finally even perished, and then gave birth to Zheng Xin, the legendary hero of Siam, at this time, with the advantage of being able to buy Ming arms at will and even hire retired Ming troops, it has already completely recovered its homeland, and the territory of the Taungoo Dynasty is only left in the middle and lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River, and even northern Myanmar is under the control of the Tusi.

However, at this time, the Donghu Dynasty had not yet declared itself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty.

"Send a decree, let Luo Zhang go to Yangon for a circle, and tell the Burmese one, what is it called?"

Emperor Yang said suddenly.

"Daningenne."

Yang Zhong hurriedly checked the name of the king of Burma and said.

"Daningene, what a broken name! Let Luo Zhang tell him, don't say that I didn't give him a chance, is he willing to be Ruan Fushu? Or do you want to do Zheng?? Yes? ”

Emperor Yang said with a sneer. (To be continued.) )
