"Did you hear that? The Tianyuan Emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is about to surrender, and even the Tianyuan Emperor has surrendered, so isn't the Ming Dynasty the lord of the world? ”

From Monan to Mobei, to Liaodong in the east, to Samarkand, Kashgar, Balasagon and other places in the far west, and even further afield in the Golden Horde, countless Mongol tribes learned the news.

At the same time, many small tribes living on the grassland defected to Kaiping, the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Because Kaiping has become the only designated port outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, with many commodities and goods that are only available in the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty.

The role of the Great Wall, in addition to defense, is also the Great Wall of Economy.

Its role in the economy is even far greater than defense.

At this time, Kaiping said that it had become the "Mengcheng" of the Ming Dynasty, because he was the domain of Zhu Yunwen, the king of the Ming Dynasty.

Other tribes, such as the Virat tribe and the Mongol tribes who claimed to have betrayed their ancestors and claimed to be Tatars, were far from the city, determined to cling to the glory of Genghis Khan and to Mongol traditions, when in fact they were not a golden family.

The pattern of the land of Mongolia has shown many changes.

Almost at the same time, an envoy from the Timurid Khanate arrived in Chang'an, and the Qin king Zhu Wei and the princess Wang Min personally greeted the delegation in Chang'an, and the leader of the mission was a descendant of Ogedei, Gui Lichi.

He was ordered by the Great Khan of the Timurid Khanate to express his sincerity to the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, he did not obey the Timurid Khanate at all, and as soon as he arrived, he expressed to Zhu Wei, the king of Qin, that he hoped that the Ming Dynasty could fund him and let him deal with Timur's yellow Mongolian lameness, which really made the Qin king Zhu Wei scratch his head, but the princess Wang Min and the side concubine Deng were silent to each other, and they were very jealous of this ghost power.

A Mongolian tribal leader who knows how to go from left to right, if he is not firmly bolted, will become a big trouble.

In Monan Mongolia, Emperor Tianyuan sent his eldest son Tianbaonu and dozens of people such as the prefect and the prime minister to lead a team of thousands of people to go to Beijing to reply to the marriage of Zhu Biao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

When Naha of Liaodong heard this, he couldn't sit still, he didn't care about anything else, and personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to expel the Goryeo people who were doing things in Tieling, the border between Daming and Goryeo, and drove Goryeo out of the Tumen River, all the way to more than 400 miles in Goryeo, basically recaptured the land that Goryeo had previously taken advantage of the civil strife in Dayuan, until His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent him an order to go to Beijing for an audience.

After paying this vote, Goryeo never dared to cross the border again.

After all, Nahachu deployed all his soldiers on the border between Goryeo and Daming, with more than 100,000 people.

The entire northeast direction of the Ming Dynasty vibrate.

In the palace of King Yan.

Zhu Di heard that he was going to Annan to sit in the town, and the prime minister of southern military affairs, he was excited and restless.

He and his princess Xu Miaohua were having a long talk, when suddenly the guards came to report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.

Zhu Di hurriedly came out to greet him, and Zhu Xiongying had already arrived in the foyer.

He smiled and said: "I said that the joyful song of the bird today turned out to be the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

And when he spoke, he would prostrate and see him.

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly pulled him and said, "Fourth uncle, you are too pretentious, but my nephew has good news for you." ”

stepped forward to hold Zhu Di's hand, Zhu Xiongying said: "Has the fourth uncle felt very wronged at home in recent years?" ”

Zhu Di smiled lightly: "How come? ”

Zhu Xiongying glanced at him, patted Zhu Di's arm and said meaningfully: "Fourth uncle, you don't have to be like this, I know that you are a person who can't sit still, especially you are very concerned about the military, after I am the king of Meng, my Ming Dynasty's northeast and northwest can be stable in a short time, but this is just a policy of restraint, I want to really implement governance in the northwest region, it will take dozens of hundreds of years, and it will not be an overnight effect, but this is a big step after all." ”

"I came to you because my father said that the Ming Dynasty wanted to defend the north and attack the south, and I came to tell the fourth uncle about the military essentials in the southwest region!"

Zhu Dixin said, you really said that my heart is up.

Saying that, Zhu Xiongying said the military points of the Chen Dynasty in Annam.

During the Great Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan Shizu Dynasty had conquered Annam three times, and also sent the prince, the king of Zhennan, to guard the city of Burma.

At that time, the first two conquests of the Yuan Dynasty were mostly used by the new annexed army surrendered by the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, the Jiangnan Army, one was to weaken the power of the Jiangnan Army, and the other was to see the strength of the Annan Kingdom, but the three times failed to completely conquer Annan, although some territory was defeated, but the rebellion continued, and it could not be long-term peace.

At that time, there was a general in the Chen Dynasty called Chen Xingdao, who was deeply sinicized and wrote a famous article in Annam, called "The Soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty", leading the soldiers of the Chen Dynasty in Annam to fight with the Yuan army, and finally repelled many attacks by the Yuan army.

You must know that at that time, Dayuan, on the banks of the Danube River, was at the peak of its military strength.

Zhu Xiongying said: "Raiding Annan, the first is to overcome the plague in Annan and other places, the warm epidemic in Annan is more fatal than the plague for today's northerners. ”

"My nephew suggested, after you go, you will train in Guangxi first, there are two places to choose from for military training in Guangxi, one is Guangxi Beihai, and the other is Qiongzhou, but this Qiongzhou and Guangxi Beihai are both plague-ridden places, so I want you to collect enough medicinal materials in Nanjing before you set off."

"This is the top priority, the first thing to do!"

"Secondly, it is the general who commands the army, you have Zhang Yu, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and other brave and good fighting thousands of households, it is enough, then the difficulty of training is difficult in the soldiers, I suggest that you recruit troops on the spot in Guangxi, use more Guangxi wolf soldiers, and recruit some Tusi soldiers from Yunnan, Uncle Mu Ying said that the Tusi soldiers in Yunnan are not afraid of death if they fight, although the military discipline is looser, but as long as the money and food are enough, they are willing to serve!"

"Moreover, the soldiers of Yunnan and Guangxi have also adapted to the local climate and solved the problems of soldiers and generals, so the next step is the strategic and tactical problem."

"How? How to fight? We hope that you will study the case of the Yuan Dynasty's three failed conquests of Annam, and learn a lesson from it, I hope that the Ming Dynasty will win this battle, because once we lose, then the tens of millions of silver dollars that I have accumulated in the five years of the Ming Dynasty will all be wasted, without any return, and it will affect our marine strategy! ”

Zhu Xiongying took a deep breath.

Zhu Di motioned to Princess Xu Miaohua to pour a cup of tea.

Zhu Xiongying continued: "How to deal with it after it is defeated? This is another difficult problem, so you should not be in a hurry when attacking Annam, and you should not use the Mongols to slaughter the city, the Mongols repeatedly recruited Annam, wanting to surrender the army without a fight, and as a result, their envoys were killed, causing the Mongols to retaliate and slaughter the city, causing the local people of Annam to revolt. ”

"In my opinion, I have two choices for the Ming Dynasty to attack Annam, one is to fight civilly, the other is to fight with martial arts, and the fight is an economic war. Now that the Royal Bank of Daming has controlled most of Annam's economic lifeline, as long as we have an economic blockade, they will soon have chaos in the country. ”

"Wen Da is also divided into several steps, one of them, in the economy, first send an envoy to tell them that they must establish a branch of my Ming Royal Bank, Annan Chen Dynasty and the north have our country's Guangxi people to come and go freely, and there are many people doing business, assuming that they open the Ming Royal Bank branch, the wealth will be gathered in a large number of my Ming Royal Bank, and then we told them to open the port to us, in the name of protecting my Ming expatriates and assets, if they are not willing to open the port, then we will send an envoy to reprimand, Then send the spies of the National Security Division to incite rich businessmen everywhere in other countries to revolt, and when the time comes, we will raise the king's division, raise the banner of justice, march directly, and provide disaster relief and collect people along the way, and the people will eat pot pulp and welcome it! ”

"If they are not willing to establish my Daming Royal Bank branch, then they have to establish their own national bank, if they decide to establish their own Annan Bank, it will be better, because in the early stage their coins and our Daming silver coins have different purchasing power, my one dollar is equal to his fifty yuan, we can directly use a large number of silver coins and treasure money to run, their bank collapsed, when their Annan economy collapsed, we don't need to fight at all, the leading party of the Annan Chen Dynasty will scramble to betray the country, Send Annan to the mouth! ”
