Zhu Youxiao continued to prepare for war in the capital, and military factories began to work overtime to produce new equipment, and the first orders for Type 11 rifles reached 200,000 units, and orders for Type 11 heavy machine guns also reached 500 units.

At the end of the year, the experimenters were also formally formed, and after several months of hard work, the model of the second-generation new army has been basically determined.

Barbed wire, trenches, heavy machine guns, cross-fire nets, these tactics are easy to master, in short, simple, such tactics are really not difficult.

Under such tactics, the cavalry basically rushed into the streets.

As for the new rifles, although they could shoot far, the infantry would still be in danger of facing the cavalry if they did not have barbed wire and machine gun crossfire.

After all, under the new establishment, the infantry formation no longer adopts the dense formation mode, and once it is broken through by the cavalry, the combat effectiveness is worse than the previous hollow phalanx. However, there were still bayonets, and the infantry still had grenades in their hands, so it was not completely incapable of resisting.

At this time, Jin Yiwei spied on the intelligence that the Zheng group was constantly preparing for war in Annan.

"Your Majesty, the Annam Zheng group has not only not been disarmed in the past two years, but has secretly increased its troops by about 20,000, and is also constantly hoarding war materials, and it is likely to counterattack Hanoi." After receiving the news, Jin Yiwei commanded Tian Ergeng to hurriedly enter the palace to report to the emperor, this is important information, and it is not allowed to be sloppy.

"It seems that the Zheng group is planning to fight the Ming to the end, how many troops do we have in Hanoi now?" Zhu You asked Tian Ergeng.

Tian Ergeng replied: "There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hanoi, and this year, the natives of Nanyang Jinzhou have made a lot of trouble, and most of the troops of the Nanyang Military Region have been transferred to suppress the natives of Jinzhou. ”

The indigenous policies implemented by the Ming in Nanyang were highly controlled. Naturally, there was a lot of indigenous revolt. But Zhu Youxiao, who intends to incorporate the whole of Nanyang into the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, the natives will not be allowed to form their own social system, and it is natural to implement a strict policy on the natives, sending the natives to the plantations as workers, and living under the management of the Ming Dynasty, which can not only educate these natives, but also make these natives unable to form a complete social system.

After a few generations, these natives were basically completely educated by the Ming Dynasty, even if these natives left the plantation. Its habits and the culture it has come into contact with have been able to integrate well into the society of the Ming Dynasty, and it will not become an independent force.

Therefore, with the development of various islands in the Nanyang Seas, the Nanyang Military Region has become very busy, sweeping everywhere all day long, arresting the natives, and sometimes the natives hide in the deep mountains and old forests, which is also a troublesome matter. Therefore, the military expenditure in the Nanyang region is not small, but these natives are relatively backward, and their combat effectiveness is also very scum, and the cost of sweeping is not too high, but patience is required.

The whole of Annam. At present, only 15,000 Ming troops remain, of which 10,000 are stationed in southern Annam. The original Nguyen family controlled the area. This is a place that the Zheng family can't reach, after all, there is a certain amount of natural danger, and it is difficult for the Zheng family's army to attack, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not low.

However, the situation of the 5,000 Ming troops stationed in Hanoi was somewhat problematic, and once a war broke out with the Zheng group again, the 5,000 Ming troops would have to face more than ten or twenty times more enemies than themselves.

"Immediately let the Navy transport fifty heavy planes to Hanoi. Well...... Let's transfer the machine gun battalion of the experimenter division too! Let the troops in Hanoi strengthen their vigilance and not let the Annam people sneak attack. Zhu You proofread Qian Guoxing and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Guoxing immediately conveyed his will.

"Jinyiwei continues to pay close attention to the dynamics of the Zheng Group." Zhu You proofread Tian Ergeng and ordered.

"Obey." Tian Ergeng received the decree, and then withdrew from the palace, and there was basically no problem with Annan's affairs. Tian Ergeng had seen the power of those heavy machine guns, and since he had to transfer the machine gun battalion of the experimenter to Hanoi to guard against the Zheng group, Hanoi was basically impregnable.

……

In the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, the situation in Annan was turbulent, and the Zheng Group was ready for war.

Whether it is the ruling class such as the Zheng clique, or the landlords and businessmen below, their interests have been greatly impacted.

The influx of Ming commodities into Annam has caused many merchants to lose their business, which has completely destroyed the commodity market in Annam, and even the natural economy of Annam's countryside has also been impacted.

The interests of the landlords have also been damaged by the large number of land annexed by Daming Capital in Annan and the employment of workers, and the Zheng group in Annan, which is unwilling to be intervened by Daming, has not given up the idea of resistance in the past two years, and is always thinking about how to completely sweep the tentacles of Daming out of Annan.

Originally, the number of troops stationed in the south of Annan by the Ming Dynasty was relatively large, and the Zheng group did not dare to move at all, but now that these troops were transferred to Jinzhou, the Zheng group suddenly became ready to move.

However, what the Zheng group did not know was that Jin Yiwei's telegrams were being sent from Hanoi to the capital one after another at this time. In this day and age, not every country has a secret service. And the secret service of the Ming Dynasty, after the development of Zhu Youxiao after he ascended the throne, has become very professional.

At this time, there was still a certain overlap in the functions of the factory guard, but Jinyiwei had begun to focus more on external military intelligence spying and became a cross-border military intelligence department. The East Factory is more responsible for the collection of internal intelligence, mainly for the supervision of officials and those big capital businessmen, and the intersection with ordinary people is not so much.

The Annan Zheng group did not have too deep precautions against this kind of professional military intelligence spying at all, thinking that it could hide from the eyes of the Ming Dynasty by doing it secretly. However, after the scale of the Zheng Group's preparations reached a certain level, it was simply whimsical not to be exposed under the spying of Jinyiwei.

Because the Ming Dynasty officially intervened in Annan and controlled the puppet emperor, although the Zheng family still retains most of the administrative power, the puppet emperor of Annam has not yet played the effect of 'coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes' in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but it is too easy to install and buy some eyeliner within the Zheng group.

At the same time, the telegram also played an important role, and as soon as the abnormal situation of the Zheng group was discovered, the information was sent to the capital on the same day.

On the day the telegram was sent to the capital, the machine gun battalion of the experimental division was urgently mobilized, boarded a train in the capital, arrived at the port of Tianjin that night, and set sail early the next morning. Also on board was 50 heavy machine guns and more than 600,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition.

Basically, the stocks of the military factories were emptied, and the warships set sail all the way to Annam. Half a month later, the fleet arrived in Annam. (To be continued.) )
