Chapter 160: False Vision

It has been decades since the Tatars entered the customs, and the land of Shenzhou has long since sunk, but there are still righteous people in the overseas frontiers who resolutely raise the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty.

For example, Xiao Wu and Huang Liangji who went south to Luzon, such as Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi who went to Annan.

"The Chinese in Annam are fine." Liu Yu looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression and spoke.

Annam is an ancient Vietnamese name, and the name Annam comes from the Annam Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

In 1406, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent Zhang Fu to lead an army deep into Annan to destroy the Hu regime of Annan, with fifteen prefectures, forty-one prefectures, two hundred and eight counties, three million people, and two million eight hundred barbarians.

In order to respond to the request of the local officials and elders from the "original retro county", Chengzu changed his name to "Jiaozhi" and set up a political envoy for Jiaozhi.

Until the Xuanzong period, due to the unfavorable rule, rebellions broke out, under the persuasion of the famous ministers Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others to give up Jiaozhi, Zhao Shang in Annan Wang Tong and others led more than 80,000 troops to return to the north, and abolished the Jiaozhi political envoy.

However, in the eighteenth year of Jiajing of Ming Shizong, Mo Dengyong sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to ask for surrender, and dedicated the land register and household registration of Annam to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming court set up the Annam Metropolitan Envoy Division, and from then until the death of the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam has always been the status of an administrative autonomous unit in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, when the Tartars entered the customs and Shenzhou sank, Annan naturally went out independently.

Thinking of these past events, Liu Yu sighed with emotion, this Annan is the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the degree of sinicization is more than one level higher than that of Luzon.

It is no wonder that generals such as Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi chose to flee to the land of Annan after the failure of the anti-Qing resistance.

"Lord Chen, Lord Yang was valued by Lord Ruan, and gave the land of Zhenla to the Ming people, and our Chinese people reclaimed land in Dongpu and established towns, so that the Ming people could live and work in peace and contentment." The old man's tone was quite calm.

"Hmm," Liu Yu nodded.

Compared with the misery of the Luzon Chinese, the treatment of the Ming people in Annam is much better, which is related to the fact that Annam has been a Ming subject country or a relatively high sinicization since ancient times, plus Ruan Phuc Binh, a wise monarch.

The old man's mouth refers to Ruan Fuwei.

He was the fifth generation of Quang Nam monarch in the history of the second Northern and Southern Dynasties of Vietnam.

Yang Yandi and Tran Sang Chuan failed to resist the Qing Dynasty and fled south to Quang Nam, asking for protection from Nguyen Phuc Binh.

Nguyen Phuc Binh instructed the two to go to the realm of Chenla, and with the help of Nguyen Phuc Binh, he forced Chenla to divide Dongpu among them.

Later, Dong Pu was directly annexed by Nguyen Phuc and set up Gia Dinh Province, which was the predecessor of present-day Ho Chi Minh City in Saigon, Vietnam.

"Lord Chen and Lord Yang were originally Ming generals, General Chen was originally an old general of Yongli, and later served the country to resist the Qing Dynasty, and now the treasure island is also occupied by the Qing army, I thought that there was no hope of opposing the Qing Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the Lord actually led a mighty army south to Luzon to expel the Francophile and occupy Luzon to protect my Ming people."

"The Ming people of Annan are also the overseas people of the Ming Dynasty, and when they learned that the Ming people of Luzon were protected by the Ming army from the slaughter of the Francophone people, they all burst into tears, and Lord Chen specially ordered me to come to congratulate." The old man was still expressionless and calm.

"It is rare for the two Ming generals to live in Dongpu and bring the people of the Ming Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, and now the land of China is close to the hands of the Tartars, and Dongpu is an overseas peach orchard." Liu Yu nodded in praise.

They were able to lead the Ming people to forcibly lay down a piece of land in the territory of Chenla and reclaim barren land here, establish towns so that the Ming people of Annam could live and work in peace and contentment, and even make Vietnam the capital here hundreds of years later, it cannot but be said that these Ming leaders still have a hand.

Of course, Liu Yu also knew that Ruan Fuwei took in the Ming people and resettled in the Zhenla area, but it was just a strategy to drive away the wolf and the tiger, and in the end it was still taken by the Ruan lord and became the land of Quang Nam.

"Now that we are waiting to rebuild the Ming Court in Nanyang, do the two adults have the intention of returning to the Ming Court." Liu Yu stared at the old man and asked tentatively.

The entire court fell silent in an instant, and the Dongpu envoys present were silent one by one, staring at the thin old man in front of them.

"Since the sixteenth year of Yongli, Zhaozong was martyred in Kunming, although Taiwan's Zheng Jing still worships Emperor Yongli as Zhengshuo, and continues to use the Yongli era name, but Ming has existed in name only." The old man's cloudy eyes looked at Liu Yu in the lobby, and said in a calm tone.

"Although the Ming court of Luzon is the emperor of Yongli, there is no Ming clan as the emperor, the second is to live on the overseas islands away from the Ming land, and the third is not to oppose the great cause of the Qing Dynasty. As soon as the old man's words fell, the hall was in an uproar.

Su Langqing almost knelt down for the old man in front of him, and he dared to say this, still in front of Liu Yu.

Although in Su Langqing's eyes, Liu Yu took Emperor Yongli as the main one, and the reconstruction of the Ming court was just a measure to win over the hearts of the Ming people, but no one would say it blatantly.

This old man is old and confused.

The Ming court officials present were all silent, and even the local local officials stared at the old man in the lobby with wide eyes.

"What do you mean?" Liu Yu was not angry, and looked at the old man with a gentle face.

"The two adults just sent the old man to Luzon to get in touch with the adults, if you can hope that the Ming people of Dongpu and the Ming people of Luzon will have friendly contacts and become a family, I hope that the Ming people of Dongpu can go to Luzon to do business and trade." The old man said slowly.

"Of course." Liu Yu agreed without thinking.

"Not long after the Dongpu Ming people were first settled, Zhenla invaded in the west, and Ruan Zhu was eyeing the north in the north, and it was not easy for the Dongpu Ming people to live, so they could naturally go to Luzon to live and settle."

"Regarding the matter of doing business, the Chamber of Commerce of the Four Seas can go to Annam to trade, and now the pirates in northern Luzon have also been exterminated by our Ming sailors, and the heads of Muhanvili have also been sent to Laoag by speedboat, and the peace in the South Seas can be restored. Liu Yu saw that the eyes of the old man in the hall flashed a trace of strangeness, as if he had touched something.

"Dongpu is the land given to the Ming people by the Ruan Lord, in fact, it is the land of Zhenla, and my Ming people use swords to seize the land of Dongpu in order to survive, which must have aroused the anger of Zhenla, and Annam is more than a soil, stubborn and fierce abnormal, if the Dongpu Ming people want to gain a foothold, they need more than just the protection of the Ruan Lord." Liu Yu said earnestly.

Dongpu was originally the land of Zhenla, which was the ancient country of the Indochina Peninsula, and its territory was in the territory of present-day Cambodia, which was the name of the Jifu Kingdom of the Indochina Peninsula in ancient Chinese history books.

Due to civil strife, the throne has been controlled by the king of Annam, Chen Shangchuan and other Ming generals led 3,000 soldiers to defect to the Nguyen lord, and then Nguyen Phuc was placed in the area of Chenla, forcing Chenla to divide Dongpu for the Ming people to live in. It is bound to cause the hostility of Zhenla and the surrounding soils.

And Ruan Fuwei can also rely on these Ming generals to contain or even greatly weaken the national strength of Zhenla, and at the same time wait for the Ming people to work hard to cultivate the land of Dongpu, and when the time is ripe, they will take the land of Dongpu in one fell swoop.

It can be said that it is a good hand to play, and it has to be said that the closer you are to China, the deeper the strategy of the rulers of its land, and the fact is that it has developed.

In 1688, Yang Yandi's subordinate Huang Jin killed Yang Yandi in Meidihaikou in order to fight for power and profit, and rebelled against King Zhenla.

The king of Zhenla, Hidden Autumn, also built a city for defense and refused to surrender to Quang Nam. Nguyen Phuc sent the deputy general of the town, Mai Van Long, to lead his troops to attack, and designed to lure out Huang Jin and kill him through Zhang Van Tong, annexing My Di.

In 1698, Nguyen Phuc was on the verge of direct control of Dongpu, and appointed the minister Nguyen Youjing to set up the Jiading Mansion in the area, and at the same time recruited displaced people to the local reclamation, and compiled the local Ming Dynasty relics as "Ming Xiang Society" and Qing Dynasty people as "Qing River Society".

In this way, Nguyen Phuc was able to control Jiading with the help of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.

It can be said that the people of Dongpu have worked hard for decades and made a wedding dress for Ruan Phuc in vain.

Looking at these self-reliant Ming people, Liu Yu has no disgust, it is not easy to protect Ming people overseas in this troubled era, so that Ming people can live and work in peace and contentment.

"Since my Ming people have gained a foothold in Dongpu, they naturally need to be armed, and they will order the Firearms Division to give the three hundred guns and fifty barrels of gunpowder in the treasury to the two generals Chen Yang, and the Ming Court of Luzon will each give the two generals 5,000 Ming Court new dragon silver as a reward." Liu Yu looked at everyone in the hall with a smile.
