On the seventh day of the second month of the 45th year of the Ming Dynasty, Nguyen Phuc Qin, the righteous lord of Quang Nam, died of illness in Hue due to depression, and was immediately buried in the Chang Mao Mausoleum, and his eldest son, Nguyen Phuc Huan, who was only 15 years old, succeeded to the throne and called himself the prince of Zong County (TongQu?nC?ng). biquge.info The first thing the young and vigorous Nguyen Phuc Trun did after coming to power was to abolish the "Treaty of Wuchen" signed with Ming Zheng during the Nguyen Phuc Yen period, and re-declare his suzerainty over Ha Tien, Gia Dinh, Bien Hoa, and My Hagi. Although this action was only symbolic, it still caused displeasure on the part of the Ming and Zheng, but at this time the Zheng army was fighting the Qing army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there was no time to take care of the remote Guangnan for the time being.

Although the Ming and Zheng sides did not react immediately, the Bintong Longren, who did not reap any benefits in the "Wuchen Treaty", seemed to be a little eager to try. After obtaining the acquiescence of the Cam Ranh Governor's Office to continue the sale of armor and firearms, PoSot, shortly after the rainy season began in June of that year, announced the resumption of the use of the name of Champa and sent troops to the territory of Champa invaded by Quang Nam, such as Gu Nata (Nha Trang).

Nguyen Phuc Huan, who felt offended, was furious at Champang's attempt to send troops to expand his territory at a time when the lord was suspicious, and he immediately called in an army of 30,000 elite troops to defeat the Champa people despite the opposition of his ministers. However, over the years, Bintong Longtong Guò rented land to Ming Zheng and sold rice, sandalwood, betel nut, lead, polo hemp, cane sugar, buffalo and other goods to obtain a large number of armor and firearms, so the two sides seemed to be evenly matched once they fought.

However, the Quang Nam people have experienced the test of many years of civil war, and their combat strength naturally surpasses that of the Cham people, so after a series of battles, the Cham people, who won first and then lost, had to return the recaptured land to the Quang Nam people one by one.

Finally, at the end of November of that year, Nguyen Phuc Huan's army advanced to the city of Bintong Dragon

Now looking around, the only one who can save the fate of Po Zheng and Zhancheng is the Jinlan Governor's Mansion on the side of Ming Zheng.

"Please send troops to rescue the city." The Cham nobleman named OknhaDat prostrated in front of Cai Tong and pleaded with tears streaming down his face, of course, the Ya Tart, who has some speaking skills, did not blindly speak from the perspective of the Cham people, but analyzed for Cai Tong. "If the adults don't send troops, the city will be completely destroyed, and by that time, the army of Quang Nam can sweep through Jiading, Haxian and other places, and can turn back and besiege Jinran."

"The general's words, this official agrees very much, but this official has already received an order, and he will go to Yazhou to serve as the governor in a few days, so it is really powerful to transfer troops to fight at this time." Cai Tong shook his head helplessly. "I can only grieve the general of the Yaya tart and wait patiently for the new governor to deal with it in Jinlan."

"Bin Tong Long can't last that long." The house tart groaned in pain. "Lord Dudu, you have an old Chinese saying, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, once Bin Tonglong falls, it's too late."

"Late?" Liu Ye, who succeeded Cai Tong, has actually arrived in Jinlan, but he is still hiding it from the people who occupy the city. "I don't think it's too late, Zhancheng is a thousand-year-old country, it is easy to destroy the country, but it is difficult to destroy the species, and the people of Guangnan have to fall into the mud, if we strike again, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Liu Ye looked at the few people present, and a smile appeared on his face. "Besides. If Bin Tong Long doesn't perish, how can we be embarrassed to swallow Jin Lan into our stomachs? ”

"The governor's words are correct, but it is better for Yan Jiu and Chen Shangchuan's subordinates to be transferred a few days earlier." Sun Miao, the commander of the third regiment of the Hailongxiang Division, was born in the Jiayin period of the boy battalion like Liu Ye, and with the rapid expansion of the Zheng army, their earliest descendants of Zheng Kezhang are also taking the command post of the backbone of the Zheng army. "If, as the yaya tart said, the Guangnan army only rushed towards us after the suppression of Bintonglong, regardless of the stable place, we would be able to deal with it."

"I have already sent people to transfer troops, but Chen Shangchuan can only transfer 500 people, Yang Yandi can only transfer 400 people, and Yan Jiu's side is only 500 people." Cai Tong responded. "It seems that in the final analysis, it depends on us, but I don't know if one or two of the Lu divisions in Qiongzhou can be transferred now"

"One or two divisions? Your courage is not small, but unfortunately your appetite is not big. Looking at the young man standing straight in front of him, Zheng Bin, who was the secretary of the military department and the superintendent of military affairs in southern Guangdong, said something that made Cai Tong dumbfounded. Shilu iron ore mining is imminent, labor is very scarce, Guangnan people take the initiative to send such a large amount of labor, how can the official not accept it. ”

Mao Hongyan on the side laughed even more: "The Inspector's words are even reasonable, instead of spending a lot of money to buy sea Kunlun slaves, it is better to use the captives of Guangnan to fill the matter, but it is also a good way to open up sources and reduce expenditure. ”

"Since Deputy General Mao also agrees, then four divisions will be transferred over this time." Zheng Bin moved his gaze to the face of Governor Lu Xuefang on the other side. "Lord Lu doesn't have any objections to this, right?"

"With the Qiongzhou detachment sealing the sea, the Qing captives are temporarily unable to cross the sea, and it is not necessary to send troops to teach Guangnan a lesson at this time." Lu Xuefang thought for a moment before answering. "It's just that the troops entering the mainland to plunder the population and then shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is the current priority of this domain, and it is better for the Inspector and Deputy General Mao not to put the cart before the horse."

"Lord Lu reminded me." Of course, Zheng Bin understood Lu Xuefang's vague hints, so he looked back at Mao Hongyan. "Deputy General Mao must fight quickly, don't just care about chasing the dead and chasing the north, if you really destroy Guangnan, it may not be the domain that will benefit."

On December 20, after a siege of more than half a month, the army of the Nguyen lord finally marched into the city of Bintong Long, and after killing his wife and concubine and setting fire to the palace, Po Thang threw himself into the fire, and most of the nobles of Bintong Long also chose to die with the city, only Po Zheng's brother step-mother-in-law (PoSaktiray DaPatih) broke through. Instead of fighting the fire, the Quang Nam army that invaded the city of Bintong Dragon plundered the city, and in this way, the last capital of the Champa clan turned into a burning ground

After capturing Bintong Dragon City, the Guangnan Army changed the Bintong Dragon River to the Meiniang River, and established a new city called Shuncheng in the opposite position of the old city of Bintong Dragon in the north of the river. When Shuncheng was still under construction, the Quang Nam army sent envoys to the Han forces in all directions, asking to send envoys to the court to recognize the suzerainty of Quang Nam, otherwise Bin Tong Long would be a lesson from the past.

Yang Yandi, Chen Shangchuan and others naturally did not dare to slack off, on the one hand, they perfunctory Guangnan envoys, on the other hand, they sent envoys to ask Jin Lan for advice, just when these Han princes were panicking, Nguyen Phuc Thu received the first bad news after the start of the war - the Quang Nam detachment of the Zheng army broke into Hoi An again, causing the trading city to be completely paralyzed.

But Nguyen Phuc Huan's nightmare was just the beginning, the plundered Zheng fleet first went north to attack Tuao Neng, then went south along the coastline, shelled the coastal ports, and went deep into the inland rivers to capture the people of Quang Nam, in addition to plundering a large number of men to Qiongzhou to work as miners, and also sent a large number of women to Dong Ninh and other places to marry Zheng soldiers.

Ignoring the advice of the Minister of Central China and the reminder of the Portuguese side to make peace with the Ming and Zheng sides, Nguyen Phuc Chuan insisted on going his own way and ordered the Nguyen army to pull out the nail of the Cam Ranh Governor's Palace, for which the Quang Nam army left only 3,000 people to guard the hometown of Bintong Long and outside the city of Thuan, and the rest of them slaughtered Cam Ranh Bay on the occasion of the Spring Festival in the 46th year of Yongli.

Judging from the numbers, even with the reinforcements of Yang Yandi and other feudatories, the total strength of the Zheng army on the road was only more than 2,000 people, less than one-tenth of the Guangnan army, but the Zheng army relied on strong forts and gunboats cruising on the sea to defend it, and the Ruan army attacked the fortress day after day, but in addition to burning the trestle bridge and the boat yard, there was no substantial gain.

On the first day of February, nearly 10,000 people from the Zheng army's Zuo Long Wu Division and Zuo Hu Ben Division landed at Gudi under the cover of the naval gunboats, and two days later they used artillery fire to open the gateway of this important town in the south of Guangnan, and then completely took the city. The Zheng army, which was immediately reinforced, went all the way south and arrived at the orange forest valley before the Nguyen army could react, cutting off the Ruan army's northward retreat.

Seeing that the return route was cut off, the Nguyen army was forced to abandon the siege of Cam Ranh and retreat to the area east of the orange grove, where the two armies fell into a standoff. However, at this time, it was the dry season in the south of Quang Nam, not to mention the scorching and dry weather, and the food supply was still insufficient, so the Nguyen army, which was facing a shortage of food supply, was forced to take the lead in the battle after discovering that the Ming and Zheng armies were strengthening day by day.

At sunset on the ninth day of the second lunar month, the Ruan army, which avoided the heat, and the Ming Zheng army started a battle, although the Ruan army was also equipped with cannons, muskets and had a slight advantage in strength, but this advantage was not enough to shake the advantage of the Ming Zheng army in firepower, after an hour and a half of two charges, the Ruan army, which was finally unable to attack, waited for the late impact of the Ming Zheng army, and the Zheng Ming army tore the line of the Ruan army with the cavalry posts of each division as the lead, and then divided and annihilated it under the still bright night sky.

Because there are mountains in the north, the sea in the east, and the enemy army in the southwest, there is no escape, and after a period of stubborn resistance, they are forced to be captured, and the Ming Zheng army killed and captured more than 21,000 Ruan troops at the cost of more than 1,800 casualties, captured 27 large and small artillery, and nearly 3,000 guns, and only a few Ruan troops fled into the northern mountains and escaped.

The main force of the Ruan army was wiped out, and the Zheng army divided into three routes, one of which was to guard the prisoners on the spot and wait for them to be transported to Qiongzhou, the second was to attack the remnants of the Ruan army left in the line of Shun Thanh together with the various departments of the Cam Ranh Governor's Mansion in the south, and the third road was to attack and advance in the direction of Ninh Hoa and Sui Hoa in the north.

On February 19, the Ming Zheng army invaded the unfinished Shuncheng, and the remaining troops of the Ruan army were wiped out. The step-mother-in-law who hastily ascended the throne reached an agreement with the Ming and Zheng sides at the first time, and permanently ceded the Jinran-Gudi (Luo) region to the Ming and Zheng sides, and obeyed the Ming Dynasty as the Zhengshuo and called the ministers and tributes
