Chapter 462: Fighting Annan and Donghu

After the Ming Dynasty occupied the city, they were able to expand their immigration in Southeast Asia.

The Ruan clan in the south of Annam has always regarded the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and the Ruan clan has always been a vassal to the Ming Dynasty in the name of the Nguyen clan Annam, and this time it is best to make the Ruan family willing to be an official of Tusi and the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Hongyu also received a letter from Cai Fuyi Feige.

Taungoo and Chung Thi Annam have been colluding lately, and two years ago they got the news that the Netherlands were going to occupy Southeast Asia.

He knew the Netherlands wouldn't give up.

After the Battle of Malacca, Wang Hongyu soon learned that before the Netherlands formed an alliance with the Later Jin and Japanese kingdoms, the Netherlands had sent envoys to Donghu, but they were rejected at that time.

To Wang Hongyu's surprise, after the Ming Dynasty defeated the Netherlands and the Wa Kingdom, it was common sense that Donghu should avoid contact with the Netherlands, and now Donghu was so active in the war, and there were provocations against the Ming on the border of Annam.

Why is that? França participated in the Wa Kingdom and the Later Jin Dynasty against the Ming Dynasty, and according to reliable sources, England also entered the game.

Wang Hongyu sorted out the opponent's lineup, and the countries in which the opponent directly or indirectly participated: the Netherlands, the Wa Kingdom, the Houjin, the Francha, the Donghu, the Zheng Annam, and the England Seven Kingdoms, and one more will become an eight-nation alliance.

How much benefit can it be for Donghu to participate in the situation after the defeat of the Netherlands and the Japanese Kingdom, and take the initiative to challenge the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty? It's nothing more than sending guns and cannons now, and then drawing a big pie for Taungoo to occupy the whole of Southeast Asia.

Wang Hongyu looked at the map and said to himself: "Donghu and Zheng Clan Annam take Nguyen Thi Annam and cut off the supply line of the Ming Navy."

Then first hit the Donghu and Zheng's Annan armies; Hit the Dutch Navy again.

To build guns, artillery, and warships, we have to fight more than 20 years of war between the East and the West, that is, a world war, and we are fighting for national strength and production capacity. In the previous life, the decisive factor for the victory of Big Brother in World War II was the speed of making weapons.

The war in Southeast Asia began.

The Ming Dynasty first rescued Nguyen's Annam, then eliminated the main force of the Zheng Clan's Annam Army, subdued Annam, and then attacked Donghu from the north and south, planning to finish the war in 2 years. It took 5 years to stabilize the new prefecture, the Xuanfu Division and the Xuanfu Division.

Of course, Annan was terrified, but the Donghu dynasty was very confident.

"The soldiers of the Ming Kingdom are okay to guard their homes, if they really drill into the rainforest, where is the opponent of our people who have lived in the tropical jungle since childhood?"

They were very confident, but this self-confidence could only be maintained until they met the new army in the southwest.

The war in Southeast Asia is underway.

The sound of artillery on both sides of the Ling River in Annam continued, and Nguyen Thi Annam had a strong fortress built for decades and was supported by superior artillery.

In fact, every 5 years, Zheng Thi Annan has to use troops against Nguyen Thi Annan, and none of them have won, and it will take at least 5 years to accumulate resources and manpower and relieve his breath, but Zheng Thi Annan will lose every battle.

The key is that the ancestors of the Ruan lord of Annam of the Nguyen clan were the ministers of the Li Dynasty of Annam, and after the usurpation of power, the Zheng lord still retained the puppet emperor of the Li family, but Daquan was in the hands of the Zheng lord, and the Zheng lord of the Northern Dynasty did not destroy the Ruan lord of the Southern Dynasty.

What's even more infuriating is that the Southern Dynasty has never recognized the orthodox status of the Northern Dynasty, and even the name of Annam has been changed by the Southern Dynasties.

This is because Annam has been a part of China since ancient times, and the area ruled by the current Zheng lord was originally called Quang Nam Province for a period of time, and the Southern Dynasty called itself Nguyen Thi Annam, which means that the Southern Dynasty is the orthodoxy of the Annam Kingdom.

The Northern Dynasty usurped the power of the Lijia family and became independent, but it was still the land of China, and China had Guangdong, Guangxi, Guangnan, and Guangbei, which was in line with historical facts.

[In view of the general environment,

Now the Ming Dynasty has clearly risen.

Collusion with the Donghu Kingdom to fight against the Ming Dynasty?

That result will certainly not be much stronger than the Kingdom of Johor colluding with the Dutch to fight against the Ming Dynasty.

The people of Southeast Asia are basically not optimistic that the Zheng clan Annam and the Donghu dynasty can win.

As long as the Ming Dynasty engages in benevolent governance and does not expropriate tyranny, Annan will change blocks

Cochin's brand, everyone will look forward to better days.

......

The civil war of the Wa Kingdom has been fought for more than a year and has entered its second stage.

Although the western feudal clan repelled the invasion of the eastern clan and the Pudai feudal clan led by the Tokugawa shogunate, the western feudal domain did not win and suffered heavy losses, not to mention the loss of personnel, and Hiroshima alone was burned. Looted three times.

Choshu was burned once and plundered twice, and the Tokugawa shogunate did not reach Kyushu Island, where there was no loss, but instead cleared several Pudai domains, and the shogunate army of Shikoku was promptly defeated by the outer domains of Kyushu Island and the outer domains of Shikoku Island, which came to support.

During the post-war renovation period, Yan Siqi convened the daimyo of the Kansai foreign feudal clan to discuss countermeasures, and proposed that in order to ensure food production in Kansai, the daimyo of Kansai should organize the large and small feudal lords to fight and transfer the war to the Kanto region.

The Kansai Daimyo resolution passed: Yan Siqi is quick thinking, strong strength, and has a view of the overall situation. He was unanimously elected as the leader of the Western Outer Domain, and unified command and dispatch of the Kansai Outer Domain to resist the Kanto Clan and Pudai Domain, led by the Tokugawa Shogunate.

Yan Siqi said: "The enemy is very strong, we must be prepared for a protracted war, he will contact the Ming Dynasty, Esbanya, Portugal and other countries to support the war of the fall of the Kansai foreign domain, and hope that the feudal domains will have the money to contribute, and they will fully participate in the war of the fall of the war."

He himself took the lead in bringing out food, firearms, gunpowder, and medicinal herbs for the Fallen Counsellors to distribute to the foreign vassals who needed them most.

The Chōshū clan took out silver to support the War.

The Satsuma clan sent 2,000 iron cannons to support the weaker smaller domains.

Yan Siqi, the Choshu Domain, and the Satsuma Domain played a leading role, and other domains also contributed money, materials, and efforts.

In order to support the Japanese state, the Netherlands also brought in the English East India Company.

Through bribery, they used merchant ships to transport military supplies to the Wa Kingdom from the blockade of Esbanya.

The Netherlands, França, and England actually have their own ghosts, and they are all making their own calculations, the money is not for nothing, who wants to give it away at no price? It's called casting a long line to catch a big fish.

Now Europe has been riddled with holes, the economy is declining, people's livelihood is withering, there is a serious shortage of production and living resources, prices are rising, inflation is rising, and the scene of prosperity in the past no longer exists.

The Thirty Years' War in Europe intensified, and the already limited resources are now even more resource-poor and overdepleted.

The warring states of the Holy Roman Empire had become unproductive in their cultivation, large numbers of peasants had been displaced, and great hunger and pestilence had begun, but they could not compete with the soldiers and horses who plundered food like locusts.

Even França and England, which did not participate in the war, were blocked by sales, and many factories closed down due to lack of means of production, and a large number of unemployed families lost their sources of livelihood.

This situation will be worse if you support Houjin and Tokugawa.
