The population allocation plan for the entire Annam region has now been carried out in accordance with Li Guo's plan.

The Zheng lord and Zheng Tie of the Later Li Dynasty began the migration of all the inhabitants of Thang Long City to the south according to Zheng Miao's Jiany. They will move to the central city of Hue. Hue was originally the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty, and in order to ensure the leadership of Lord Zheng in Hue and the surrounding areas, Li Guo sent his favorite general, the iron egg of the original child soldiers.

Tie Dan will lead more than 2,000 elite soldiers, as well as the previously captured Houli soldiers to help Lord Zheng rule. In addition, the Iron Egg will continue to the south and be stationed at the southernmost Jinsha Kok, and the Iron Egg will be centered on Jinsha Kok, controlling the southernmost point of Annam, as well as the external expansion of the camera. Because Jinsha Kok, where the iron eggs are stationed, guards the Gulf of Thailand, and the inland of the Gulf of Thailand is said to be rich in rice, which is also a place that Li Guo is extremely concerned about.

However, this is only the people in Thang Long City who are moving south, not all the people in the Houli Dynasty moving south.

In addition to Thang Long City, all the residents of the entire Houli Dynasty will also be moved, not to the south, but one after another, according to the principle of you come and I go, to Guangxi and even farther to the interior of China.

The huge population gap left by the Honghe Delta region, which is about to be relocated by the Houli people, will gradually move into the Chinese people in the future.

The first to move into this area were the more than 200,000 original displaced people led by Nie Xin, who only settled in the two cities of Thang Long City and Fang Haigang and the surrounding areas. Among them, 150,000 are stationed in Thang Long City, where they will make the Red River Delta an important hub. In every way, in the future, it will control the entire area.

Sixty or seventy thousand displaced people were sent to Fang Haigang. There, a brand new port will be built, Phuong Ha Port will be the link between Thang Long City and the sea, and wood and minerals from the mountainous areas of the interior will be transported down several rivers to Pong Ha Port and then to Bei Hai Port in Guangxi, which is the industrial center of Li Guo.

Gao Ping's Zhu Huan and Nguyen Zhengming had already taken most of them to Thang Long City, which would be their office location. It will become the military and administrative center of the entire Annam region.

In the next half century, Li Guo and Li Guo's successors immigrated a large number of Chinese people to this place, so that in the end. It has grown into an autonomous region with a population of millions of Chinese.

In this way, the entire Annan region was divided into four distinct parts by Li Guo, and the northernmost point was Mo Zhengkuan's Mo Dynasty. Below is the Huaxia Prefecture led by Zhu Huan. Then there was the Zheng lord of the Houli Dynasty, and the southernmost point was Jinshajiao, where the iron egg was stationed.

In addition to attaching importance to the Huaxia Prefecture under Zhu Huan's jurisdiction, Li Guo also attaches great importance to the Jinshajiao area under Zhu Huan's jurisdiction. It not only radiates the Indochina Peninsula inward, faces the South China Sea externally, but also corresponds to Malacca at the southern end.

Li Guo is now thinking about Malacca, the reason is that Li Guo found that there were also cannons and guns in the ranks of the annihilated Nguyen Dynasty.

Li Guo was very strange, how could the Ruan Dynasty have firearms? It's easy to find a captive. After asking about the situation, these cannons and guns were from Malacca.

Originally. In the wars between the Nguyen Dynasty and the Later Li Dynasty, they always lost the upper hand. Therefore, Ruan Gang has always dreamed of defeating the Hou Li Dynasty.

In the original time and space, the Southern Ruan Lord created his own ruling structure. And imitated the Ming Dynasty to set up the imperial examination, establish military forces, and rectify the army. The most important Nguyen lord also had a cannon foundry, a shooting range and other structures. Of course, this should have been achieved at the end of the 16th century, which means that in a few decades, the Nguyen Dynasty would be able to build cannons.

So where did the Nguyen Dynasty's artillery-making technology come from? Quite simply, Malacca. At that time, the Nguyen Dynasty had its capital at Hue, and the area south of Hue all the way to the southernmost Cape of the Golden Sea was the territory of the Nguyen Dynasty. It's very close to Malacca.

Malacca was occupied by the Portuguese in 1511 and was not defeated by the Dutch until 1641.

At this time, Malacca was still in the hands of the Portuguese. The Portuguese in Malacca did not have a good time because Spain annexed Portugal. Including the territory occupied by the Portuguese in Macau and Malacca, the Spanish did not send people to receive it. Like the Portuguese in Macau, the Portuguese in Malacca are also helpless, homeless and homeless.

However, the living conditions of the Portuguese in Malacca are much better than those of the Portuguese in Macau. Because they guard the main communication routes between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, ships passing through here are taxed. So their life is good.

Li Guo is of course aware of the importance of Malacca's location from a modern perspective, and, in the time of Zheng He, Malacca was once a dependency of the Ming Dynasty, which means that Malacca also belonged to China in history, but now it is occupied by the Portuguese.

How can this work? This was originally the territory of China, and you Portuguese said to occupy it? Is there any royal law? Is there any reason left? No way! I have to take care of this! Li Guo made up his mind.

But now, if Li Guo is allowed to kill people and knock Malacca down, Li Guo will resolutely not go. The reason is simple, you can't beat it! Because Li Guo's warships that really have the ability to threaten the ocean now have four Portuguese warships that have been bought, but there are eight Portuguese warships in Malacca.

Naval warfare is not on land, with a tiger strength, relying on the heroic and unyielding spirit, in line with the principle of not being afraid of hardship and death, you can fight to the death with the enemy! It's useless at sea, it's useless at all!

Naval warfare relies on the tonnage of warships and the firepower and quantity of artillery, and even if you understand the tactics of war, you will definitely lose if you lack firepower.

So what to do? You can't beat it, and you can't just look at it and get angry!

But Li Guo could only be angry, first, the war consumed a lot of money and resources, and second, the soldiers and the people under Li Guo's rule also needed to recuperate, including the Annam region. The war can only begin when the people can provide more resources.

The turning point of things happened after the Chinese New Year, after the New Year, before the New Year, the Portuguese Lida, who was sent to Europe by Li Guo, returned.

"Lida, why are you back so soon? I'm wondering how you'll have to come back in a few months! In less than a year, has the task I given you completed? Li asked, very puzzled.

Lida nodded, "The tasks you gave me have been completed, I have recruited people from all walks of life, a total of more than three hundred people, we arrived in Malacca by merchant ship, and the governor of Malacca specially sent a warship to send us back." ”

"Oh! Someone! In addition to the promised reward, another reward of 1,000 taels of silver! Pick it up for him when he's gone. Li Guo nodded, very satisfied, it seems that Lida's task has been completed well, and he will be rewarded heavily! You know, Lida is looking for talents! Talent can't be bought with money alone!

"Thank you, Master Tiger!" Lida said words of thanks in broken Chinese. But Lida's expression didn't seem very happy.

"Lida, do you have something on your mind? Speak up and tell me! Li Guo is very concerned.

Lida took out the medal that Li Guo had given to his viscount, "Because of this medal, I was ridiculed!" ”

Li Guo was stunned: "How can anyone laugh at you?" It's gold! ”

"Yes, I know it's gold, and I'm laughed at because it's not this!" Lida replied.

"Which one is that?" Li asked.

"Because this medal was not given by the Eastern Sovereign, that is to say, by your Emperor Ming! That's why I'm being laughed at! Lida looked helpless. So, I'm going to go to the capital, I want a real medal! I'm going back to Europe with a real medal, I'm going to redeem my honor! ”

After Lida finished speaking, he turned around and left, as if he was about to enter Beijing immediately.

Li Guo dragged Lida back, "Don't worry, speak slowly!" Come on, pour a cup of tea for Viscount Lida, I think, he will be thirsty! (To be continued......)
