Chapter 546: The Second Battle of Annam VII

Reached an agreement with Zheng Sui. Let Zhu Houhuang's plan for the conquest of Annam enter the implementation stage.

After inspecting Haiphong City, Zhu Houhuang felt that the defense of Haiphong City could support it, and the army returned to help, so he left an army, that is, the mercenaries of Champang.

This Champa army has been included in the Dongyong sequence and is called the Champa camp.

When Zhu Houhuang came to Da Nang, Zheng Sui also returned to Thanh Hoa.

Thanh Hoa is the western capital of Annam, and it is also the land of Longxing in the Later Lê Dynasty. The founding monarch of Houli was to raise troops in Thanh Hoa to contend with the Ming Dynasty. Although the political center of the Lê Dynasty is now in Thang Long, Thanh Hoa has a different status on the political map of Annam. In this way, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, and the western capital of Luoyang became the place where the old party was entrenched. During the reign of Lê Shengzong, Thanh Hoa also became the last stronghold of the founding nobles of the Lê Dynasty.

However, as soon as Li Shengzong left, the Li Dynasty became extremely chaotic. Thanh Hoa has become the center of activity of the Saga Noble Group.

Although Zheng Sui has always occupied Thanh Hoa, in fact, Thanh Hoa is not in the hands of Zheng Sui alone.

As soon as Zheng Sui came back, many people came to visit, and they came to inquire about the news.

Zheng Sui respectfully saluted an old man and said, "Ruan Gong." ”

This old man, known as Ruan Gong, is a figure who can compete with Zheng Sui in these families, Ruan is also a big surname in Annam, and Ruan Gong's lineage is also from the founding hero. The information is old, there are many children, all over Annan, even under the command of Mo Dengyong, there are also children of the Ruan family. The Ruan family is definitely not to be underestimated, especially the Zheng family's branch in Shenglong, which was uprooted by Mo Dengyong, and the Zheng family's strength was greatly damaged, at this time, Zheng Sui did not dare to snub Ruan Gong.

Ruan Gong leaned on a cane and said: "Everyone wants to come and ask about the results, I said I don't need to ask, I will ask on behalf of everyone, how is Lord Zheng and His Royal Highness King Yong talking about?" ”

Zheng Sui let out a long sigh and handed the signed agreement to Ruan Gong.

Ruan Gong was a little dizzy, but he couldn't keep such a secret, and he didn't dare to fake it, so he had to read it one by one, and it took him a while to read all the words. said: "It's okay." ”

Zheng Sui said: "Am I looking to lure a wolf into the room?" ”

Ruan Gong said: "What lured the wolf into the house, the fisherman in the north doesn't know anything, he has already lured the wolf into the house." He exchanged letters frequently with Guangxi, and even a Ming envoy set out from Shenglong to visit the king of Champong, which has been determined, and there must have been some collusion between the Ming and Mo Dengyong. You must know who this Dali Jiangshan is, it was taken by the ancestors from the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Mo Dengyong is a fool, since he asked Daming for help, we must also introduce King Yong's side. ”

Ruan Gong had a very bad impression of Da Ming. It's not that the Ming Dynasty did anything to Annam, but that when Ruan Gong was young, in order to emphasize the merits of their founding heroes, he demonized and publicized the Ming Dynasty. After saying it for a long time, they all believed it. Ruan Gong himself believes that he is a staunch anti-Ming faction, and in his opinion, the cooperation between Mo Dengyong and Daming will definitely not have any good results, maybe Daming will swallow Annan by the way.

Zheng Sui said: "But isn't His Royal Highness King Yong also a Ming Dynasty?" ”

Ruan Gong sneered and said, "Do you think so? ”

Zheng Sui doesn't speak, since Jiajing ascended the throne, anyone with a little IQ knows it. King Yong is no longer tolerant of Daming. Therefore, in the hearts of Ruan Gong and others, they have already regarded King Yong's side as an independent force and a force hostile to the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Sui said: "Even so, the Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers, how can King Yong be the opponent of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Ruan Gong said: "Do you have any other way? ”

Zheng Sui shook his head.

Zheng Sui relied on the terrain of Mo Dengyong that he could contend with, one was the Thanh Hoa area and Nghe An, although these two places were not as rich as the Red River Plain, but the food was enough for self-sufficiency. It also has the advantage of terrain in order to resist the attack from the north. But the last time Mo Dengyong went south, he hit Thanh Hoa directly, and the vicinity of Thanh Hoa was already dilapidated. The soldiers suffered great losses in food, and in the south of Thanh Hoa and Nghe An, there were also the old troops of Tie Shan Bo. Although the strength is not strong, the place it occupies is still very large. also troubled him, even if Mo Dengyong did not unite with the Ming Dynasty, when Mo Dengyong went south again, Zheng Sui could only flee from Qinghua and fled south.

Thanh Hoa is the foundation of Zheng Sui, and if Thanh Hoa fails, the big thing will go. Zheng Sui urgently needs foreign aid. Then this foreign aid is the devil.

Zheng Sui said: "It's just that in this way, Annan fell into the hands of King Yong, aren't we the sinners of Annan?" ”

Ruan Gong sneered: "Lord Zheng, it's not right to think like this, King Yong has only been on the South Seas from scratch in three or four years, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes. It's just that King Yong's foundation is extremely shallow after all, and Dongyong, who is regarded as the foundation by King Yong, has less than 500,000 people. However, once King Yong enters Annan, will King Yong be King of Daming or King Yong of Annan, or will he be the King of Yong of Annan, or will he say both? ”

Drama actors will change, but whether they change well or not is different. When Zhu Houhuang was calculating Zheng Sui, Zheng Sui was also calculating Zhu Houhuang. However, Zhu Houhuang didn't know. At this moment, Zhu Houhuang officially sent troops, from Haiyun Pass, and advanced by waterway, and the boat division on the sea. On land, Yu Dayou's blade battalion was the vanguard. The householders carried their own army and pressed the formation behind.

Zhu Houhuang has all the troops, there are as many as four battalions of the Yongjun, a total of more than 20,000 people, and there is a battalion to see if it can be transferred over. In addition to these troops, there are also Yu Dayou's government soldiers trained in Da Nang, although they were temporarily recruited, but they also look similar, these government soldiers are about 20,000 people, but Zhu Houhuang left 5,000. The town guarded Da Nang, and the others set off together, with more than 40,000 troops in Dayue, known as 100,000 troops. In the name of survival and extinction, he issued an example, saying that he would re-establish the Li clan and restore peace to the world.

I don't know if Zheng Sui has done his homework, maybe the Li family has a high status among the people of Annan, Zhu Houhuang went all the way north, almost all the way, he didn't meet any opponents at all, and almost fell into the wind.

Wang Yangming and Ruan Runchen followed behind Zhu Houhuang to recruit rebels and stabilize the place.

Fortunately, this is a barren land in the eyes of the people of Annam, there are fewer people, and a small number of plains are sandwiched between the sea and the mountains. There were not many garrisons, and Zheng Sui immediately raised troops to correspond to Zhu Houhuang, and the two sides attacked. So these little warlords have almost no ability to resist.

Zhu Houhuang's army marched, all the way to Hue and Donghai. There weren't a few battles at all.

Zheng Sui and Zhu Houhuang took He Jing to join the army, and for a time Zhu Houhuang's army plus the Qinghua soldiers had 100,000 people. In Annan, this is already a force that can determine the rise and fall of the country.

Zheng Sui had already found a three or four-year-old Li disciple named Li Xi. Zheng Sui asked Zhu Houhuang to renovate in Thanh Hoa and prepare for Li Xi's enthronement ceremony.

Zhu Houhuang's sailors didn't get tired much when they took a boat all the way, but although the army didn't fight a few battles, it really needed a good rest after traveling thousands of miles. However, the journey of thousands of miles is very beneficial to the soldiers of Da Nang. After all, the Da Nang government soldiers are government soldiers, and they use cold weapons. There is also very little training, and this thousand-mile trek is the best training.

Although they were tired enough along the way, they had a little bit of a strong army anyway.

Just when Zhu Houhuang was staying in Thanh Hoa. Mo Dengyong was also anxious in Thang Long.

"What's going on? There is no news from Daming's side, and if it goes on like this, King Yong will already be in the city, and Daming has not yet discussed a reason to come. Mordenyong roared.

Mo Dengyong couldn't help but be angry, after Mo Dengyong regained Shenglong, while consolidating his rule, the first thing he did was to send a messenger to complain to Daming and ask for help. But I didn't think about it, it was useless at all, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. Although the relationship with the governor of Guangxi has not been severed, it is useless at all, and there is no way. Even the envoys of the Ming Dynasty who sent an envoy to occupy the city were begged by Mo Dengyong for an unknown number of times, and even then they were in the name of the governor of Guangxi, not in the name of the Ming court.
