In the early morning, the north gate of Thang Long City was wide open.

Headed by King Gong Li Kechang, the hundreds of officials and soldiers of Annan who came to surrender to Cheng lined up on both sides and knelt to welcome the Ming army into the city.

Under the banner of the sun and the moon, the mighty Ming army marched into Thang Long City, first taking over the city defenses, and then quickly occupying all the main roads.

Zhang Fu took the lead, looking at the open city gate, but his eyes were moist.

In the second year of Yongle, Chen Tianping, who claimed to be the royal family of Annam, came to Daming to seek refuge through Laos. In the fourth year of Yongle, Emperor Taizong Zhu Di sent the governor Huang Zhong to lead 5,000 soldiers to send Chen Tianping back to China, and the deputy general was Xue Yan, the secretary of Dali Temple.

Unexpectedly, Li Jichen, who controlled the government of Annan, sent people to ambush him halfway to intercept and kill Chen Tianping, and Xue Yan was also killed.

Zhu Di was furious when he heard the news, and in September of the same year, Qin ordered Zhu Neng to be the general of Zhengyi, Zhang Fu to be the right deputy general, and led eighteen generals including Li Bin, Marquis of Fengcheng, to join the left deputy general and Musheng, the Marquis of Xiping, to go to Annan.

It's a pity that Zhu Neng died of illness in the army, and Zhang Fu took over his position as commander and led the army into Annam.

In the second year, the Ming army successively captured Thang Long and Thanh Hoa, changed Annam to Jiaozhi, from then on, the period of cutting down the crime to hang the people, will rise and fall and continue to extinct it, set up officials and govern, teach Chinese etiquette and law, widely apply the benevolence of one view, and the rule of Yongle Taiping.

However, since then, the old ministers of Annan have continued to rebel, and seeing that the situation cannot be controlled, Mu Sheng led the Zhengyi General Seal and then conquered Annan.

Unexpectedly, the battle situation was very unfavorable, Mu Sheng fought fiercely with the Annan rebels in the Shengji River, and suffered a crushing defeat because of the light enemy, Liu Jun, the military secretary of the counselor's military affairs, failed to break through the siege and committed suicide.

Zhu Di had no choice but to use Zhang Fu as the commander again, and sent 200,000 troops to fight with Mu Sheng, at this time the Ming Dynasty was busy with the northern expedition to Mongolia, so Zhang Fu was required to calm the situation in Annan as soon as possible.

However, just as Zhang Fu was marching all the way, the first northern expedition of the Ming army encountered a major setback, Qiu Fu, Duke of Qiguo, Wang Cong, Marquis of Wucheng, Huozhen of Tong'an, Marquis Wang Zhong of Jing'an, and Marquis Li Yuan of Anping led an army of 100,000 troops to the north to conquer Benyashili, but was ambushed by the Mongol army at the Yuqu River, and Qiu Fu and others were killed.

Zhu Di was shocked, and saw that Zhang Fu had won, and thought that Annan was not enough to trouble, so he ordered Mu Sheng to stay behind, summoned Zhang Fu back to Beijing, and prepared to personally lead the army north to invade Mongolia.

In the eighth year of Yongle, Zhu Di personally conquered Mobei and returned victoriously, Chen Jikuo took the opportunity to send the envoy Hu Yanchen to congratulate and ask for the title, Zhu Di was happy for a while, and specially awarded Chen Jikuo as the political envoy of Jiaozhi, and his subordinate officials were assigned the positions of commander and political participation, but Chen Jikuo's original intention was to seek the title of king of Annam, so he continued to call the army a rebellion.

In order to completely quell the rebellion in Annan, Zhu Di, who had freed his hands, ordered Zhang Fusan to conquer Annan, and forced Chen Jikuo to play an ambush, if he did not admit the crime, he would use force to pacify him.

In the tenth year of Yongle, Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng met in Shunzhou, and the Annan army fought a decisive battle in the Aizijiang River, the Annan army was defeated, Chen Jikuo was defeated and went to Laos alone, Zhang Fu ordered Shi You to lead the troops to pursue, and broke through the three passes of Laos in a row, and finally captured Chen Jikuo alive in Mengxi Nanmo, and escorted him to Beijing.

At this time, the Northern Yuan forces made a comeback, and Zhu Di recalled Zhang Fu again and attacked Mobei for the second time.

The Ming army left behind in Jiaozhi lacked experience in governance, and would only use force to suppress problems when encountering problems, coupled with the intrigue between officials, the people of Annam were not attached, and the rebellion continued, at this time the Ming Dynasty had moved the capital to Beijing, and the focus of defense gradually moved northward, and Jiaozhi became a heavy burden.

In the twenty-second year of Yongle, Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi succeeded to the throne and died the following year, and Zhu Zhanji succeeded to the throne for Ming Xuanzong.

Because the Ming Dynasty fought in the south and the north for many years, went to the West six times, and the treasury was empty, Zhu Zhanji thought that the land of Annan was not quiet, and he repeatedly diligently served the king's division, so he ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the text was transmitted to the states of Annan, and the Ming army garrisons who were guarding the local area were relieved, but at the same time, they were full of unwillingness.

Everyone knows that this is not a way to go on, and everyone understands that the Ming Dynasty has spent countless money and food, countless military horses have entered here, obviously won many battles, obviously has occupied Annan, and countless people's blood has been sprinkled here, in exchange for the country of Annan to be opened up into a state and county, and included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, everything came to naught.

The imperial court at that time, of course, had the test at that time

quantity, it may be that there is no point in going to the Western Ocean, occupying Annam, allowing the fleet to set off in Annam, going deep into the Western Ocean, getting twice the result with half the effort, there is not much meaning, since the imperial court is forbidden by the sea, then the long coastline of Annam has become a huge burden.

Daming can't afford to spend it, and this money and food can be used in other places.

No matter what the reason, the result of more than ten years of fighting, in the end, everything came to naught, and the soldiers who entered Annam at the behest of Emperor Taizong finally withdrew in disgrace.

Zhang Fu is the most unwilling one, because Annan was defeated by his own hands, if it weren't for the tense war in Mobei, maybe the British public line would have been in Annan forever for generations.

However, there are no ifs in reality, only regrets.

I thought that this regret would accompany me for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that after only more than 20 years, I would set foot on this land again.

Li Kechang led hundreds of officials and soldiers to kneel on both sides, bowed his head and said: "The puppet monarch Li Sicheng fought against the heavenly soldiers, and ten thousand deaths are unforgivable, the criminal minister Li Kechang suddenly woke up, and led the people with lofty ideals to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and now he is captured and dedicated to the king's division, and Annan is up and down, all of them are sincerely attached, and I hope that His Majesty the Ming Emperor will not give up and treat him well, and the criminal ministers will be grateful and cry, look to the north and knock!"

There are two people on the ground who are tied up like zongzi, that is, the Emperor Li Sicheng of Annam and the crown prince Li Bin.

Li Sicheng's face was like ashes, his own brother was betrayed!

Originally, he was still wary of Li Kechang, but what he never expected was that the one who captured him in the end was actually his most trusted old minister of the Three Dynasties, Zheng Fu, the secretary of the Ministry of War!

Le Bin's eyes were full of anger, from Thanh Hoa to Annam, he was the one who commanded the whole army.

Qinghua City was broken by artillery anyway, and the weapons are not as good as others, so you can't beat it, admit it!

However, Thang Long City didn't even see a single shell, and the Ming army didn't spend a single soldier, and the war was over.

"Traitor, I don't share the sky with you!"

Li Kechang didn't even look back at him, but just asked, "What should the puppet monarch Li Sicheng and his son do, please instruct!"

Zhang Fu rode on the horse, looked down at Li Bin, who gritted his teeth, and Li Sicheng, who collapsed to the ground, like mud, and was even more emotional in his heart.

Now the Ming Dynasty no longer has the worries of Mobei, and must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and cannot leave any hidden dangers.

I saw a chill in his eyes, and the thousands of emotions in his heart turned into four words: "Behead the public!"

Li Kechang's expression was grim, and he saluted: "The criminal minister is willing to personally supervise and behead!"
