Chapter 428: Zheng Ruan
Pan Wu said very clearly, since the other party wants to fight, then fight with them.
Since you can't beat it locally, then concentrate your superior forces to protect Shenglong.
As long as Thang Long is kept, even if the entire territory of Annam is occupied by the Ming army, it will not be a failure.
"But what about the people everywhere? Will the Ming army wantonly slaughter the people?"
Zheng Jie quite agreed with Pan Wu's statement, but he still had to say what he said, even if he didn't care much about the life and death of the people.
"It is unlikely, the Ming people have always flaunted benevolence, and wantonly slaughtering people will only damage their image of benevolence and morality. In other words, as long as they want to make a difference in Annam, they will not slaughter the people, and even treat them well!"
Well?
Pan Wu's words sent everyone in the hall deep in thought, including Zheng Jie.
The so-called thing to do is to annex Annan.
Can they do it?
And in what way?
Thinking of this, Zheng Jie reacted violently.
How many generations of Zheng's hard work can be buried in their own hands? No matter what Daming's purpose is, he can't easily admit defeat! We must win this battle! Fight to the death!
"General Pan, just do what you say, and leave the Royal Forest Army to you to command. From now on, take over the city defense, and you are allowed to enter but not to leave. In addition, pass on my order, and the garrisons of all provinces will immediately enter the king of Shenglongqin, and if they dare to slacken, they will be severely punished!"
"Yes!"
Pan Wu was in high spirits for a while and gave Zheng Jie. Other civil and military officers also saluted one after another, and left the hall under Zheng Jie's wave.
Pan Wu, who had not been used so heavily for a long time, suddenly returned to the time when he was once in a high position, but he knew that this kind of high position also represented a responsibility that ordinary people could not bear.
Coming out of the Generalissimo's Palace, he did not go home, but rushed to the Royal Forest Barracks as soon as possible.
But judging from the name, this army is naturally following what the Ming Dynasty saw, but its functions are much larger than those of the Ming Imperial Forest Army.
Not only was he responsible for protecting the safety of the capital and the emperor, but he also had to be responsible for foreign wars.
Of course, in Jiaozhi, the capital became Thang Long, and the emperor was naturally the generalissimo Zheng Jie.
The Imperial Forest Army has a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the troops are complete.
Archers, infantry, chariots, musketeers, and artillery are all available, and of course, there are also elephant soldiers with local characteristics that Annam attaches great importance to.
It is worth mentioning that the muskets and artillery of the Royal Guards were made by the Dutch, and for the time being, they are very advanced.
It is also strange to say that after the Dutch were driven out of Taiwan, they urgently needed to find another base in the East, and by chance they hooked up with the Zheng family. The original historical cooperation was advanced by more than ten years, but it was the Ming Dynasty that allowed the Zheng family to pick up a bargain.
The 40,000 led by Zheng Tao and the 30,000 taken by Zheng Kai were all from the Royal Forest Army, and at this time, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers left in Shenglong.
However, these 30,000 are also the strongest and most elite soldiers in the entire Zheng clan.
Due to the long-term confrontation with the Nguyen clan, these soldiers did not neglect their training, and Pan Vu inspected it and found that the spirit of these soldiers was very good.
Since many of them had worked under his command, the soldiers were very excited about his arrival.
After the atmosphere was baked, he naturally had to give a speech on stage. ….
It's nothing more than some strong enemies on the side, and you need to work together to resist foreign humiliation, and the generalissimo will not hesitate to reward him in the future.
Otherwise, it feels different to say the same thing by different people, and the atmosphere on the school field has become thunderous after his speech, and they are eager to immediately pick up their knives and fight with the despicable Mingren.
Not long after Pan Wu left the Imperial Forest Barracks, everything that happened here was reported to Generalissimo Zheng Jie.
Zheng Jian was silent for a long time after hearing this, sighed silently, and said nothing.
This is where he is jealous of Pan Wu, he is too upright.
Unquestionable loyalty, unmatched dominance.
Even if he doesn't rebel, what about his descendants?
You must know that the Zheng family and the Ruan family, who each occupy half of the country, were both loyal companions of the former founding emperor Li Li, but haven't they come to this point today? Even if there is a reason for it.
That's it.
Let's get through the difficulties in front of us first.
Apart from him, Zheng Jie really can't think of any good candidates.
Zheng Jie's order rushed from Shenglong to various places, and at the same time, the news of the Ming invasion of Jiaozhi spread throughout the government and the opposition. The whole cochin was completely boiling.
As Zheng Jie's sworn enemy, Ruan will naturally not be kept in the dark.
At the helm of the Nguyen clan was the contemporary head of the family, Nguyen Phuc Yuan.
Speaking of Ruan Fuyuan, I have to talk about the grievances between the Zheng and Ruan families.
Strictly speaking, the Zheng Ruan family is related, and Zheng Jie's concubine is still Ruan Phuc Yuan's sibling sister Ruan Yuxiu.
If you push it further, Zheng Jie's grandfather Zheng seized Ruan Yubao, the daughter of Ruan Gan, Ruan Phuc Yuan's grandfather.
In this way, the two families are really related.
The reason why it is like this is completely because the Zheng family is not authentic.
At that time, Zheng Jian married Ruan Yubao to have the opportunity to rise to prominence and become the actual controller of the Later Li Dynasty. But the Ruan family had the merit of being a dragon back then, and the family power was very huge, Zheng Jian was jealous, and he was very jealous of his brother-in-law Ruan Huang and Ruan Wang, so he looked for an opportunity to kill Ruan Wang.
Ruan Huang understood Zheng Jian's thoughts, so he took the initiative to ask Zheng Jian for orders to guard the south and stay away from disputes, which can be regarded as escaping. Later, when the war with Moh broke out, Zheng Jian was in urgent need of talents, and promoted Nguyen Huang to guard Hue.
In the eight years after the start of the war, Ruan Huang worked hard and did his best to assist Zheng Jian's son Zheng Song, doing whatever he wanted, and made great contributions to the victory over the Mo family. It is said that when it comes to this matter, the surname Zheng should also know the Ruan family's intentions. But who knew that Zheng Song very skillfully inherited his father's jealous character, and was very dissatisfied with the good reputation left by Nguyen Huang in Hue, and did not let Nguyen Huang return to Hue after the war.
Seeing this situation, Ruan Huang also woke up and knew that the family surnamed Zheng was not a good bird, so he tried his best to return to Hue, and in order to paralyze Zheng Song, he married his daughter Ruan Yuxiu to Zheng Song's son Zheng Jie.
Only then did Zheng Song relax his vigilance, and after returning to Hue, Nguyen Huang secretly recruited troops and horses, prepared grain and grass, and prepared for the doomed battle of Zheng Nguyen. At this point, a situation of confrontation between the north and the south took shape.
In the forty-first year of Wanli, Ruan Huang died and passed the throne to his son Ruan Fuyuan.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Song died and passed the throne to his son Zheng Jie.
To say that this Zheng Jie is not a thing, at that time, it was a disaster for the construction of slaves outside the Daming Pass, and the Mo clan had also surrendered, so Zheng Jie started the idea of the southern Ruan clan and planned to unify Jiaozhi.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Jie demanded the first three years of tax silver from the Nguyen clan in Hue on the pretext of collecting taxes on behalf of the emperor, and demanded thirty elephants and thirty warships.
Of course, Ruan Phuc Yuan disagreed, and Zheng Jie also completely understood Ruan's intentions, and decided to lead his troops to crusade against Ruan, and the war broke out completely.
