Smoke hung blankly over Tengchong City, as if it lacked the courage to rise; The rain was falling slowly and stubbornly, as if it could not even stir up the pouring spirit.

Whether it is a bright day or a drizzle of fog, Zhu Yongxing has embarked on a new journey. Unless it was pouring rain, it could stop him a little.

Looking back at the ancient city where he had fought from afar, Zhu Yongxing felt a lot of emotion. From leaving Myanmar to Yunnan, to the beginning of improvement, I have worked hard, and I have finally been rewarded, and I finally live up to my hard work!

It's just that the future is long, and a good start is important, but the struggle in the future will still be extremely difficult and unpredictable. Obviously, the current state of the Ming army is well recovered, and it seems that it is more confident than itself. And when the fatigue came to the meeting, the Ming army was more confused and lost, right?

Various measures and this victory have certainly played a great role, but in the future, it is necessary to continue to maintain confidence and fighting spirit. Only by moving from one victory to another can the fragile confidence of the Ming army be consolidated and strengthened, the hope of the people can be ignited, and the many Tusi in Yunnan will not fall to the Qing court.

Battles must be fought, but each battle must be cautious, if the Ming army encounters another major defeat, the impact will be great. The Qing court, on the other hand, could afford to lose, and it was impossible to shake its fundamentals with a few partial victories. With a corner of the enemy of the whole country, how can you not be conscientious and conscientious, walking on thin ice.

I hope that the Qing army in Kunming can give themselves a few months, even if it is a few months in the rainy season, it is precious. As long as he can gain a foothold in Annam, he will be able to re-enter Yunnan Province and set off a wave of resistance to the Qing Dynasty in eastern Yunnan with his own knowledge of history.

It's just that he made such a fuss in Tengchong, which should have disrupted the course of history, or changed the history of Yunnan's partial resistance to the Qing Dynasty, so will things develop according to his own expectations? Perhaps-Zhu Yongxing suddenly smiled at himself, what are he tossing in order to change that tragic history? If you want to be comfortable, it's not impossible to go to a foreign country to be a remnant.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yongxing turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the wheel, lifted the curtain and got into the car. It's not that he doesn't work hard, the carriage now has no shock absorption, and sitting up is no better than riding a horse. It's just that this car is his mobile study, looking at documents and materials, writing letters and commands, and he can't complete these tasks right away.

When Zhu Yongxing left Burma and entered Yunnan, he set a strategy of taking Annan as the base and advancing into Guangxi, and when he met the help of the Zheng family, he asked them to send people to inquire about the news of Annan. Zheng's tea sellers mainly face the southeast coast of China and Southeast Asian countries, and they already have an understanding of the situation in Annam. In addition, there is Zhu Yongxing's request, and now he has sent people to establish a foothold in Annan in the name of businessmen, and he has been sending back news.

However, as the materials on Annan continued to be sorted out and studied, Zhu Yongxing became more and more suspicious of the initial strategy. Of course, Zhu Yongxing did not have a very in-depth understanding of the history of Annan at that time, perhaps he was anxious to join the Mengshan Ke people, or he may have some impressions. Anyway, after carefully studying the collected information, Zhu Yongxing found that the decision-making at that time was not rigorous enough, and it could even be said that it was a serious mistake.

From the perspective of Annam's history, after the Mo Dynasty was destroyed by the Li Dynasty in 1592, the Mo clan's power was not completely eliminated, and the Mo clan gathered in Gaoping in the north to establish its rule, and continued to carry out the struggle for the restoration of the country. It's not that the Li Dynasty really didn't have the strength to destroy the Gaoping Mo clan, it's just that the establishment of the Gaoping Mo regime was facilitated by the Ming Dynasty regime, and the Li Dynasty threw a mouse. And "not to reject Li, nor to reject Mo" was the policy of the Ming Dynasty towards Annam at that time, with the purpose of containing each other, which can be said to be a very clever means.

In 1625, the Mo clan took advantage of the sharp contradictions and constant conflicts between the Li clan and the Zheng clan in the Later Li regime, and led his troops south to Jialin. But then it was defeated by the Houli army and lost its base in Gaoping. Mo fled into China, and under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered to Hou Li, and Hou Li allowed him to return to Gaoping, named him Taiwei Tongguogong, and paid tribute to the Hou Li court. At this point, Moh's power was weakening day by day, and he basically no longer had the strength to regain power.

In other words, Zhu Yongxing's judgment was right, Gao Ping Mo was already very weak, and it was impossible to resist the attack of the Ming army. But the problem lies here, in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Sun-Liu alliance against the Cao army can be described as a weak alliance. But the Ming army naturally won't take much effort to defeat Gaoping Mo's, but the enemy they have to face is the Zheng clan, which is much stronger than Mo's.

Then let's talk about the Zheng and Nguyen clans in Annam, as well as the small Champa states in the south, we can have a thorough understanding of the chaos in Annam.

The Li Dynasty prospered and the Mo Dynasty fell, and in this process, the two generals of the Li Dynasty, Ruan Gan and Zheng Song, played a vital role. But when the great success is accomplished, it is also a time for the daggers to emerge and fight for power among themselves. Zheng Song's son, Zheng Jian, poisoned Nguyen Gan in order to monopolize power, and sent his son Nguyen Huang to the impoverished, backward and turbulent city of Hue.

Hue is the southern part of Annam, bordering the belligerent state of Champ. Zheng Zhen's intention to kill people with a knife is obvious, but Ruan Huang is desperate, and miraculously restored stability to the region. Thus, when the Zheng clan planned to wipe out the remnants of the Mo clan in the north, the Nguyen clan in the south had already begun to plan to establish their own power to compete with the Zheng clan.

Nguyen Huang had this ideal long since the day he was sent to Hue. He built fortifications and stockpiled weapons and food in Quang Nam to prepare for battle against the Zheng clan. However, this behavior was also noticed by the Zheng family, so under the pretext of attacking Thang Long, the capital of the Mo Dynasty, he ordered Nguyen Huang to send troops to cooperate. After successfully defeating the enemy, the Zheng clan flew high and dominated, monopolized the power of the imperial court, and specially left Ruan Huang in the north and did not allow him to go to the south. Nguyen Hoang was terrified and finally found an opportunity to escape from Thang Long and return to Hue City in 1600. In this way, with the Mo Dynasty still not extinguished, Vietnam formed a more complex pattern of the North and South Koreas.

In the half century since, Nguyen and Trung have fought five large-scale wars. At least three years and two years, and more than eight years. And just last year, the Truong Nguyen clan had just ended a war that lasted for three years. Although the Nguyen clan was weaker than the Truong clan in terms of strength and could only defend in previous wars, the Truong clan could not achieve complete victory. The two sides were exhausted from fighting, so they had to use the Lingjiang River as the boundary and confront each other for a long time.

Although the Nguyen clan was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Truong clan, the southern state of Champa had declined and was far from the belligerent and powerful state it once was. Therefore, the Zheng clan bullied the Nguyen family, and the Ruan family bullied the Champ family. Through continuous encroachment and aggression, the Nguyen clan's borders continued to expand to the south, and through this kind of bullying of the weak and fearing the hard, they gradually increased their strength.

Looking at it this way, Annam, no, it should be that the situation in the Indochina Peninsula is more lively than that of the Three Kingdoms, and the four regimes can play the military chess of the Four Kingdoms. If you add the Ming army, the five families don't know what to do.
