In the past few years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the speed of conquest in various places has been too fast, and the opportunities for military merit are becoming fewer and fewer.

Especially in that part of the Wa Kingdom, dealing with some monkey-like Wako, it was a shame to lose, and there was not much credit for winning, Lan Yu had already stayed enough.

Therefore, after Guo Zixing, Mao Gui and others led Goryeo and Jurchen soldiers to the Wa Kingdom, Lan Yu immediately ran away.

"Your Highness, I've heard that Tianzhu's Sultan is very rampant! This time, I must give him some good looks, so that he can know what the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are......

Lan Yu said confidently.

However, he was interrupted by Zhu Han in the middle of his sentence.

"For the time being, don't think about Tianzhu's Delhi Sultanate, there is an eyeless guy in front of him, and he needs to experience what is my Ming martial arts!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"What did Your Highness say?" When Lan Yu heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

The Ming Dynasty is now in full swing, and even the Mongols have been driven to Mobei to eat sand, and even according to the news that Lan Yu heard, in another year or two, the Mongols will not even be able to eat the sand in Mobei.

Lan Yu really can't imagine, which blind guy is coming to send him to death?

"Not far away, to our nearest country of Annam!" Zhu Han said.

"Annan? Isn't that my Ming vassal state?"

Lan Yu has lived a good life in the Wa Kingdom in recent years, and he has read a lot of current affairs books in his spare time, and he has a rough understanding of the geography and humanities around the Ming Dynasty.

"When Annan wanted to give me Daming as a dog, he called himself a vassal state, and when he was rampant, he called himself Emperor Dayue!" Zhu Han said with a sneer.

Lan Yu hurriedly asked what the specific situation was, and Zhu Han gave him a detailed explanation.

It turned out that it was precisely because of the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty that the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam felt great pressure.

Historically, since the Qin Dynasty, as long as it is a great unified dynasty, almost all of them will be interested in Vietnam, a land with a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere, and even include the northern region into the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty several times.

Now the momentum of the Ming Dynasty is like a rainbow, sweeping the Mongols back to Mobei in one go, and the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam is afraid that the Ming Dynasty will turn south and destroy Vietnam.

Therefore, under this mentality, the emperor of the Tran Dynasty of Vietnam, Chen Wang, sent people to secretly contact Chen Youliang in the southwest, wanting to have the people of Annam operate in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the name of business and tribute, so as to provide information for Chen Youliang and make the southern border of the Ming army unstable, so that he would not attack Vietnam.

Chen Youliang, who is entrenched in the southwest, is also worried about his situation, and he is naturally full of joy to accept this ally who took the initiative to send to the door.

Chen Youliang and Chen Wang secretly became allies.

I want to deal a heavy blow to the southwestern border of Daming at the right time.

There is no such thing as an impermeable wall.

What's more, the secret agents of the Ming Dynasty have already used the Seven Seas Trading Company to deploy many intelligence networks in the world.

The actions of the Vietnamese emperor Chen Wang were soon detected by the secret agents of the Ming Dynasty.

After learning that his situation was exposed, the Dayue Emperor Chen Wang not only did not fear the retaliation of the Ming Dynasty, but directly tore through the disguise, openly proclaimed himself the Emperor of Dayue, and ordered the expulsion of Ming merchants and envoys in Thang Long City and other places, and even those who resisted a little were killed by the Vietnamese.

….

After hearing this, Lan Yu was immediately furious.

"Damn, I thought it was so strong, Annan, a small country with a big nose, dared to disobey the Ming Dynasty, His Royal Highness said how to destroy him, my Lanyu will definitely not hesitate!"

"Annam has a large population, and the rivers and rainforests are dense, it is really not easy to completely exterminate him, and it is easy to miss the direction of the wind to Tianzhu if you delay too much time, so this battle is to fight snakes and beat seven inches, beat the arrogant Vietnam with a stick, and then send officials and troops from the imperial court to slowly educate him!" Zhu Han said calmly.

In terms of land area, the area of Annam is not too big.

However, the distance between north and south is very narrow, and it will take a lot of time to conquer it little by little.

Moreover, Annam has another advantage, which is that the local population is large.

It is even equivalent to the entire Quang Nam Province, even if the Ming army wants to cut off a person's head, it will take a long time.

Zhu Han planned to fight a quick battle, and the army under the command of the Ming Dynasty directly attacked Thang Long City, the capital of Annam, and it was best to capture the Vietnamese emperor Chen Wangsheng alive, turn the Vietnamese Chen Dynasty into a puppet of the Ming Dynasty, and then slowly assimilate it by force and economy.

"This place of Annam has been educated by a lot of people in the Central Plains, they still have a lot of identity with the brand of Annam, and there are many people who are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, so this battle to attack Thang Long City, the capital of Annam, must be lightning fast, and do not give the supporters of Annam a chance to rescue!" Zhu Han said slowly.

I have to say that this part of Vietnam has absorbed and utilized some of the essence of the Central Plains culture very well.

For example, Loyal Monarch was promoted by the Vietnamese monarch sparing no effort.

The historical Ming Dynasty once leveled the Vietnamese regime during the Yongle period, but later because of the problem of its own way of ruling and the family and national conditions of the local Vietnamese, the Ming army finally had to withdraw.

The Ming army's abandonment of Vietnam cannot be said to be a military defeat, after all, the Ming army's several campaigns in Vietnam were all cut melons and vegetables.

According to the records of Vietnamese history, the Ming army killed the Vietnamese army into a river of blood, and ordinary Vietnamese people were also pressed to the ground by the Ming army to borrow heads, and a large number of women were snatched back to the Ming Dynasty, and tens of thousands of little boys were castrated into eunuchs for hard labor.

The killing methods of the Ming army can be described as ruthless, but it still did not completely intimidate the Vietnamese who had accepted the culture of the Central Plains.

"Unplug the Thang Long Mansion!"

"Kill all the officials and scholars there who refuse to cooperate!"

"Then stop the warships and merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty in all the ports of Annam, and completely conquer them with swords and money!"

[Recommended,@

Force.

Coupled with the rainforests full of rivers, it is often difficult for large ships above the Central Plains Dynasty to pass.

As for the gunpowder that shined in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more unbearable to use in a humid environment.

Chen Wang felt that he should have so many geographical advantages, even if the Ming army looked at himself no matter how unpleasant he was, and did not prepare for three or five years, he would not be able to attack Vietnam at all.

And in the process of three years and five years, he only needs to join forces with Chen Youliang to mess up the frontier of the Ming Dynasty, and he can ensure that his Dayue Dynasty is forever.

Even, if the Ming army is tired of fighting, maybe Chen Wang will have the opportunity to lead Dayue to capture Guangxi!

Chen Wang was immersed in his dream of carrying forward the Dayue Dynasty, and he did not realize that a crisis was coming from the sea.

All the military defenses of Annam are located in the north at the junction of the Quang Nam West Road.

As for the long coastline, the Viet Viet army set up many obstacles to prevent ships from docking, and a large number of Viet troops were also stationed in a few ports, and as long as the enemy dared to enter the port, they would enter the encirclement of the Viet Nam army.

However, Chen Wang never thought about it...... The so-called encirclement set up by his Da Viet army can only be used to trap cats and dogs.

If a tiger broke into the encirclement, what would happen to him, he never thought about it.

……

Outside Thang Long City...... On the sea to the east, the Ming naval fleet led by Zhu Han approached the land in front of it under the illumination of the moonlight.

Zhu Han stood at the front of the battle line, and Zhang Dingbian, the forward officer next to him, said to him.

"The Annam monkey in front has set up a lot of antler obstacles on the beach, and if you want to get close to the shore, you have to enter the port."

Zhang Dingbian was the general who Zhu Han recruited into the camp of the Ming army.

….

His loyalty to himself has always been high, and his talent for water warfare is very high.

Zhu Han went to the West this time, basically Lan Yu was the land general, Zhang Dingbian was the water general, and Chen Baodao was the personal guard.

"There must be defenses in the monkey's harbor." Zhu Han said surgingly.

"Tell Your Highness, the Annam monkeys do have some defenses here, and according to the spies' report, it seems that more than a dozen large iron cannons have been deployed!" Zhang Dingbian said.

I have to say that although the Vietnamese Tran Dynasty is a little arrogant, it has always been very active in its learning attitude, whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, many techniques have been learned by them.

For example, this tactic of using artillery to control the water surface has only been learned by the Chen Dynasty not long after the rise of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the monkey's artillery casting process is really backward.

Zhu Han felt that the range of their artillery was probably not as good as that of the artillery on his own ship.

"It's just a chicken and a dog, go in and hit the fort first! Hit the city again!" Zhu Han did not hesitate to give the order to go to war.

Thundered!

Bang!

Bursts of artillery rang out on the sea in the dark night.

The battleships of the Ming army had a large displacement, and the guns on them were of a maximum caliber of thirty-six pounds, which was enough to destroy general fortifications.

What's more, the coastal fortifications of Annam are all made of rammed earth, and they never thought that there would be long-range strikes from the sea.

The artillery of the Ming army was huge, and in the first round it hit the fortress of the Annan army on the seaside.

The broken masonry woke the defenders from their slumber!

"Ahh

"What's going on!"

"It's a pirate?!"

The soldiers of Annan were all confused.

But.

The Ming army will not give them much time to react.

The second round of artillery bombardment was soon coming.

Thundered!

Boom!

Unlike the first round of artillery, this time the artillery all fell from the sky.

Mortars like comet's tails burned

The bullet first rose into the air and then fell headlong.

The fortifications of Annan could not stop the mortar shells falling from the sky.

The fierce flames soon destroyed the few forts in Annan.

"Hahaha, it's fun!"

Zhang Dingbian laughed loudly, seeing that the Ming army's attack was unusually smooth, he directly ordered the Ming warships to open fire.

Artillery, large and small, immediately scorched the defense of the Annam army.

There was a great chaos in the Annam army!

The huge sound immediately spread to Dongxing City.

Thang Long Fortress, the capital of Annam, is hundreds of miles from the sea, and after the Dongxing River passes through Thang Long City, it enters the sea outside Dongxing Fortress by the sea.

Zhu Han's current location is still hundreds of miles away from Thang Long City in Annam.

First of all, it is necessary to occupy Dongxing City, and then send warships with shallow draft along the Dongxing River to take Thang Long City.

The artillery of the Ming army not only destroyed the fortifications of the Annam army, but also completely destroyed their morale.

Without seeing the enemy, the Annam army had already suffered more than 30 percent of the casualties, and the morale of the entire army was completely broken.

Before the officials and soldiers of Annam in Dongxing could figure out what the situation was, they were captured and captured by the Ming army who landed and raided.

….

"Get down on your knees!"

"Don't cry!"

Zhu Han, escorted by the Ming army's own soldiers, entered Dongxing City, and dozens of Annan officials were escorted over and knelt down.

With the help of the light of the torches, Zhu Han quickly saw that these Annan officials were all in a state of confusion.

"Which of you has the greatest office?" Zhu Han looked at the kneeling captives on the ground and asked.

The officials of Annan have learned a lot of Central Plains culture, and if anyone learns well, they will be able to be reused by the Annan royal family in Annan.

Therefore, one by one, they are not only able to understand Chinese characters, but also have a good level of Chinese, and they don't need any translation at all.

"The villain is Dongxing's pacification envoy Li Zhixing..."

Under the pressure of the Ming army, a trembling Annan official said.

The official system of Annan was learned from the Song Dynasty, and the senior officials of Anlan used the official titles of the Central Plains Dynasty, such as Taishi and Taifu, while at the local level, they used to pacify the envoy and the magistrate.

The Dongxing pacification envoy Li Zhixing in front of him is the most powerful member of Annanguo here.

"Chen Wang, the king of Annam, is arrogant and rebellious, offending the prestige of the great tomorrow, if the soldiers have arrived today, the traitors of the Annam Kingdom will definitely die without a place to be buried!"

"This king is not allowed to see the lives of Annan and the people suffering from the soldiers, you immediately issue a notice, as long as the loyal and righteous people in Dongxing City are willing to follow the Ming Dynasty to crusade against Chen Wang's traitors, all the sins are not only not to blame in the past, but each person will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan, and all the battlefield seizures will go to these people!"

Zhu Han said loudly in front of these Annan captives.

Dongxing City is very close to the sea, and if it can be controlled by the Ming army, it will be a very good base.
