From the Song Dynasty onwards, with the development of Chinese navigation and commercial trade, the number of Chinese emigrating overseas and Vietnam gradually increased. In the last years of the Song Dynasty, due to the turmoil in the Central Plains, most of the relict ministers fled to Vietnam. During the Ming Dynasty, for political, economic and cultural reasons, Zheng He was sent on seven voyages to the West, and Zhancheng was the first place to visit, which strengthened mutual exchanges and had a significant impact on overseas Chinese immigrants.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the trade between the two countries was extremely prosperous, and the number of people from Guangdong and Fujian going to Vietnam to do business was increasing day by day. In addition, when Ming Chengzu transferred 800,000 Yunnan Gui soldiers to Annam to quell the rebellion, and when Ming Xuanzong abandoned Annam, most of the soldier attachés stayed in Vietnam, engaged in agriculture, mining, commerce and other industries.

Zhou Xiaoshan is of Chinese descent from Yunnan and Guizhou, and since he lives in Annan, he has to pay taxes and grain, which has gone through several generations. Li and Mo competed for the position, Mo and Zheng exchanged troops, Zheng and Ruan confronted each other, and the big and small fights continued, and Annan has not stopped in the past 100 years. The Zhou family also suffered from it, and under the pressure of excessive taxes, the family's fortune also deteriorated. Not only was the land accumulated by his ancestors sold to only two acres of sloping land, but even he was disabled in the conscription battle.

Just when the family was struggling to survive and didn't know when they would die of hunger, luck suddenly fell on Zhou Xiaoshan's head. Fortunately, fortunately, he can still speak some Chinese, Zhou Xiaoshan constantly felt lucky, and secretly pinched the hard silver in his arms. Why did he become the village head, and he gave him money, let himself preside over the distribution of food, and let himself organize overseas Chinese and Chinese to maintain law and order in the village.

Walking through a large courtyard, Zhou Xiaoshan woke up from his dream-like hallucination, glared fiercely at the wide and imposing black lacquer gate, and his shouting voice couldn't help but get higher, and he took a sip fiercely.

Damn Ruan Dahu, it's time to fall now. This portion of grain was moved out of his house, and in the future he may have to divide your land and your property.

Well, it was quite pitiful for the Ruan family lady to cry just now. Bah, the Ming army didn't do anything else, just said to borrow your family's food, and also made an IOU! Why is she like a miser, as stingy and black-hearted as her father. Thinking of the hatefulness of Ruan Dahu pinching his neck to collect grain and taxes, Zhou Xiaoshan suddenly felt that the Ruan family was not pitiful at all from old to young, yes, it was not pitiful.

……………

We are the master of the Ming Dynasty, the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, we can't rob and rob by force, just make an IOU! Zhu Yongxing watched the clerk put away the pile of waste paper, and couldn't help but smile. Raiding homes and robbing houses can get a good reputation, how can you not do this good thing, you have to do more, don't let it be done.

The ten sergeants stationed in the village had been selected and were being lectured by the officials of the Ministry of Missions, but the eyes of a few of them were a little wandering, and they glanced straight into the team that had come to receive rice.

Bastard, the girl is dressed scantily, no, it's ragged, you can't be so unfocused! Look who is clever and go to Ruan Dahu's house to borrow a few good clothes for others to wear. If you can't do this little trick, then you deserve to be beaten as a single. Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes, waved his hand angrily, got on the horse and left.

It is said that it is stationed, but in fact, it is to imitate the police police station of later generations, maintain law and order, and support the Chinese and the poor who are willing to join, but it is too much. It is okay to retrieve eggs, but it is not time to kill chickens.

Na Song was puzzled by Zhu Yongxing's unhurried advance speed, which was clearly the time for Annan Zheng to dispatch troops. According to his ideas, the cavalry should advance violently, and the enemy should be routed with lightning speed, so as not to give him a chance to assemble resistance.

Zhu Yongxing patiently explained to Na Song: "Back then, my Ming Dynasty also recovered Annam, but the Yue people resisted for more than 20 years, and finally exhausted the patience and financial resources of the imperial court and withdrew from Annam. One is that the officials sent to Annam by the imperial court often use high-pressure control, which makes the locals feel very difficult; The second is that the whale swallows too much, although there are many Ming troops, but the distribution area is also wide, all over the country is subdued and rebelled, and the army is exhausted, like falling into a quagmire; The third is that the Chen Dynasty has not lost the hearts of the people, and the revival of the Chen room is the call, and the more people respond to the wind, and the momentum is huge. ”

"But that's no longer the case." Na Song also analyzed the mistakes of the Ming court one by one, "His Royal Highness treats the Yue people with leniency, so that they can get out of trouble and avoid oppression; Moreover, the Zheng clan of Annan was tyrannical, and the people were resentful, and few were willing to listen to his orders and fight for it; And our army only occupies a few places now, and there is no worry about swallowing up scattered soldiers. ”

"What the governor said is very true, that's why I led a large army to attack Annam, because the situation is different." Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly and said, "But it is difficult to defeat Annan's soldiers, so that it will lose the strength to entangle and fight again." If the advance speed is too fast, the Annan army will be defeated and scattered in the four fields, which will inevitably cause trouble. Our army fought in different places, and it was not easy to suppress it. It is better to suppress it with momentum, force it to retreat and assemble, and then decide the victory or defeat in a battle, force the Zheng clan to sign the alliance under the city, and temporarily suspend the sword fight, so that our army has a foothold. ”

Na Song pondered for a while and said: "With the Ruan clan as the enemy in the south and the Gaoping Mo clan entrenched in the north, the Zheng clan must not dare to gather the troops of the whole country to fight a decisive battle with our army. As long as the main force in the north is defeated, the Zheng clan will have to pay more money and sue for peace. It's just that if you want to cut the land, I'm afraid you won't easily agree. ”

"I don't want the Zheng clan to cut the land." Zhu Yongxing smiled treacherously and said: "Either force him to recognize the right to garrison troops, or lease his land, and return it when it expires." ”

Hehe, rent for thirty or fifty years, and the Zheng clan should probably be finished, either overthrown by the rebellious people, or destroyed by the Ruan clan, or eaten up by me. When the time comes, the creditors will be gone, and I don't think there will be any way to pay it back. I had to reluctantly turn the period into an indefinite period and continue to occupy these lands.

"Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou?" Na Song was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily, "Your Highness is wise, not only can you achieve your goal, but also reward the Zheng family with a fig leaf." ”

"And that Gao Ping Moh." Zhu Yongxing lightly pointed with a horsewhip, with a mocking sneer, "I have sent someone to contact, and when our army wins a big victory, I will be ready to move." Show it with grace and induce it to benefit, and you can get the effect of 'governing the more with more'. ”

"Little Three Kingdoms!" Na Song's eyes became clearer and clearer, and he had already guessed Zhu Yongxing's conspiracy and tricks, and it was indeed a good move to join Mo to control Zheng, and supporting Mo as a puppet would not only greatly reduce the desire of the Yue people in the occupied area to resist, but also make Zheng panic. After all, the Mo clan still has some influence in Annam, and once it gains power, it may be more threatening than the Ming army fighting in a foreign land.

That's right, Mohs does have use value, and it is not a piece of waste wood. Just like in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not treat the people well, and their governance was quite cruel. However, when the dynasty changed, in the face of more brutal rulers, the common people felt that their previous life seemed to be better, and they had nostalgia again, which made the "anti-Qing and Mingming" marketable.
