The Ming army successfully captured Hanoi and immediately launched military control over Hanoi, which soon turned into a large-scale raid.

The rich and the shops in the city were all confiscated.

In fact, it is a robbery, but the robbery must be technical, and those ordinary Annan people who have no money are naturally looked down upon by the Ming army, and robbing these people is easy to cause public anger.

The Zheng group ran in a hurry, and many things were not withdrawn from Hanoi, so it was cheaper for the Ming army to attack the city.

The Ming army only confiscated property, and did not take the initiative to kill people. At the same time, a notice was also posted in the city, and grain was opened to help ordinary people in Annan.

Since you have offended those rich people, you naturally have to buy a group of people, otherwise your reputation will stink, and how will you mix in Annam in the future?

After some raids, the harvest was quite rich, and nearly 20 million yuan of various kinds of property were seized in Hanoi alone, and finally the war was not fought at a loss.

In contrast, the Southern Dynasties of Annam were much more tragic, and the two infantry divisions of the Ming army that directly attacked from the Champa State simply swept all the way, invincible and unstoppable.

The two infantry divisions were not only equipped with a large number of firearms, but they were also adapted to the rainforest climate and were professionally trained in jungle warfare. The territory of the Southern Empire of Annam was very long and narrow, and the two infantry divisions advanced all the way through, and the Nguyen group of the Southern Dynasty was completely unstoppable.

Gao Bangzuo's intention is very clear, that is, to directly destroy the Nguyen clique in Annam, and then create a puppet regime to rule for a period of time. In the northern part of Annam, it was negotiated with the Zheng group. Let the Zheng Group compromise. and then slowly weaken the strength of the Zheng Group. In the end, the Zheng Group was kicked away. Thus completely ruling Annam.

In order to occupy the southern part of Annam, Khmer then put in two infantry divisions stationed in the Khmer, and the Khmer has now completely become a puppet state of the Ming Dynasty, but the Khmer acquaintance also allowed the Ming to give preferential treatment to the Khmer king and his people, and now the Khmer king has a lot of income every year, and with the expansion of the scale of development, the income of the Khmer king who has a stake is still rising.

Because of the increasing investment in the Khmer, the Khmer people do not have to worry about unemployment. There are still many untapped agricultural resources in the Khmer, and there is no problem of unemployment at all.

The Khmer kings did not fight for anything, but instead gained a lot of money. The size of the Ming garrison in Khmer is also expanding, and the fastest growth is still the production corps, which now have three production corps stationed in Khmer and are vigorously cultivating rice fields.

The Ming army, which invaded southern Annam, was advanced by sharp artillery fire, and attacked the city all the way, quickly destroying the control of the Nguyen clique in southern Annam.

The Nguyen Group was able to gain a firm foothold in southern Annam, mainly relying on the profits of salt, iron and fishery. These industries will next be controlled by Daming's capital.

The rule of the Nguyen clique was soon destroyed by the Ming army, and at this time an armistice was negotiated with the Trung clique in the north.

The negotiations lasted almost half a month. The Zheng clique finally compromised for the sake of ruling interests, recognizing the Ming dynasty's suzerainty over Annam.

Then a colonial treaty was signed, and the Ming would continue to garrison troops in Hanoi, and the administration would still be under the responsibility of the Zheng group's system, but the Li Dynasty king would be handed over to the Ming Dynasty. In the southern part of Annam, the administrative power was handed over to the Zheng Group.

The Zheng Group's acquisition of executive power means that it still has the interest of domination. In exchange for peaceful coexistence, in fact, it is to survive.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to destroy Annan, it is actually very simple, as long as enough troops are transferred, Annan will soon be destroyed. Under the military threat of the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for the Zheng group to be uncompromising.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty did not want to directly destroy Annan was mainly because once the scale of the war expanded, there would be many uncontrollable factors, and once the situation got out of control, it might cost the people and money.

Moreover, if the Zheng Group is destroyed, it will be very troublesome to send the administrators of the Ming Dynasty over. It is better to keep the Zheng group first, the Ming Dynasty will have the upper hand in the righteousness first, and garrison troops in Hanoi, and can interfere in the situation in Annam at any time in the future.

The most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty's foreign plundering methods have evolved into commercial trade, as long as the normal operation of trade and commerce is ensured, Annan will become weaker and weaker under the plundering of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to continuing to bleed the Annan people, and when it is put to a certain extent, it will naturally be able to kick the Zheng Group away.

This war against Annam is called the 'First Annam Colonial War', through which the Ming Dynasty successfully and thoroughly opened up the commodity market and commercial market in Annam.

Obviously, the war cannot end here.

Where there are people, there are contradictions, and when the contradictions intensify to a certain extent, war will break out. After a war, the contradictions are suppressed because of the division of victory and defeat, but new contradictions are created.

Compared with the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the scale of textiles and various commodities imported into Annam this year has directly doubled, which is the benefit of opening up the market. After the war subsided, the goods of the Ming Dynasty poured into the Annam market, which directly caused a serious impact on the handicraft industry and other industries in Annam.

The Ming Dynasty exchanged various commodities for ivory, rhino horn, pearls, spices, precious timber and rice from Annam.

The goods exported by the Annam people are all raw materials that do not have much added value. Only ivory and rhino horn are cheaper, but these wild resources are becoming less and less.

Hanoi soon became the place where the Ming garrison was, and the Zheng group still maintained this army, but the number had been limited to 50,000.

More and more Ming merchants came to Annam and began to do business and invest in various parts of Annam.

The Ming Dynasty did not send any administrative officials to Annam, and the army stationed in Hanoi did not bully the people of Annam, which did not cause too bad an impact in Annam.

In particular, although the Zheng group signed an unequal colonial treaty, the Ming Dynasty did not ask the Zheng group to pay compensation, so the people of Annan encountered any social injustice, and they could not complain about the Ming Dynasty. If the Zheng group causes public indignation, it obviously has little to do with the Ming Dynasty.

Such a pattern avoided the Ming Dynasty from directly contradicting the people of Annan, and used the Annan people to suppress the Annan people, so as to avoid the situation of the Annan people uniting as one. And there is enough time to understand the situation in Annan and look for the best entry point.

Merchants from the Ming Dynasty brought more than just a variety of goods. It also invested in various industries in Annam, buying assets such as land, mines, and forestry farms, and then shipped the raw materials back to Daming. (To be continued.) )
