In Thang Long City, a grand surrender ceremony is being held. Hu Yuancheng, the commander of Annan, bowed down and asked Zhu Yunxi, the grandson of the Ming Emperor, to surrender.

"Emperor Daming's grandson saw thousands of miles and personally led the boat division thousands of miles to help, which will definitely bring the friendship between the two countries one step closer." Hu Yuancheng was full of flattery, trying to change the state of war between the two countries to an alliance.

As for who the common enemy with Daming is, of course, his father Hu Jili and younger brother Hu Hancang!

Who let them carry the throne behind their backs? Shamelessness is the basic operation of politicians, even if they are slapped in the face in public, they will not feel embarrassed Zhu Yunxi laughed and said: "You know how to be flexible." He beckoned him to his feet and spoke.

"Emperor Xie Daming's grandson praises ......" Hu Yuancheng's posture was very low, and he was no longer in high spirits.

At this time, they all spoke Chinese, and they communicated without barriers. Seeing that the king of the family guard and the grandson of the Ming Emperor were smiling and smiling, the hard-hearted Annan general scolded loudly: "The dignified king of the guard, willing to be a sycophant!" When Annan and the generals heard it, they all changed color.

Hu Yuancheng was casual, with a slight smile on his face and an elegant demeanor. He continued to report to Zhu Yunxi on the situation in Annan.

After the eastern capital of Shenglong, except for a Xianzi Pass, there was no place to hinder the Ming army from moving south. The whole of Annam can no longer organize effective military resistance.

Hu Yuancheng said seriously: "The overall situation of the Southern Expedition will be decided in one battle, and after that, the army of the Celestial Empire can drive straight into the western capital of Qinghua and exterminate the puppet king!" ”

"Those who know the times are Junjie, you are very good!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile. He was looking more and more highly of the young man.

As Hu Yuancheng said, the battle of Annam has come to an end. The army only needs to advance south, and it will soon conquer the entire territory of Annam.

In the Battle of Duobang and the Battle of Fuliangjiang alone, the Ming army killed no less than 60,000 troops in Annam, and the capture was not counted.

The living forces of Annan were destroyed. Three days later, all units of the Ming army gathered and advanced southward. Goal: Thanh Hoa, the capital city of Annam!

After the Fuliang River, there are no big rivers to block it, and the Ming army is like a bamboo, and the river is flat! A large amount of manpower and material resources of the Ming army were continuously gathered.

There were also natives of Annam who helped and sent materials to fund the war. Since entering the territory of Annam, the Ming army has issued a wide range of letters to the local officials and people, claiming that they are here to rebel and warn the people of Annam

"Aiding the Rebellion". In addition, the Ming army was disciplined everywhere, and there was no offense against the Minqiu, and the Annam bureaucrats were confiscated

"Reverse birth" is distributed to the local poor. Along the way, the people of Annan all paid money. The local villagers were willing to be their guides, and led the Ming army to raid everywhere.

The intentions of the Ming army, the Annan army was keenly aware. These days, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of soldiers and horses being transferred to the Xianzi Pass.

However, there are really not many that can be played. There are also local areas that rebelled against the rule of the Hu family's father and son

The "Righteous Army", Gan was the vanguard and took the lead for the Ming Army. The fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival. Influenced by Chinese culture, the people of Annam also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Dayue Historical Records: The Whole Book of Benji" Volume 5 "Chen Ji" records: Tianying Zhengping five years of summer and May, Dragon Boat Festival, hanging Qu Yuan and ancient sages such as Jie Zi Tui, every year is held in the month.

With the passage of time, the Dragon Boat Festival gradually evolved into an insecticidal festival in Annam, which repelled poison and insects. On the fifth day of the first lunar month in Annam every year, the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated in various places.

During this time, the gate of Thanh Hoa, the western capital of Annam, was not closed, and the golden drum shook the sky. This year is no exception, and people from the neighborhood enter the capital every day to see the excitement.

However, the difference is that there are many more people entering the city during the Dragon Boat Festival this year than before. In the flow of people, there are many outsiders, most of them are caravans in groups, and they are strong and not amazing.

They don't talk either, they just wander around and spend. A careful guard of the city was curious: "Why do these people only enter but not leave?" "Most people go into the city in the morning and go out of the city in the evening.

However, few people have come into the city recently. The Ming army was coming, and many wealthy merchants ran away in advance, but foreign merchants entered the city.

Isn't that weird? An Annan official sighed: "The defense of the western capital is full of loopholes, and I am afraid that the Ming army has already infiltrated the city." "Lurking in Qinghua City, there are not only Jinyi guards, but also scouts of the Ming army.

Get together in Thanh Hoa City! The Ming army scouts were responsible for infiltration, spying on military intelligence and Annam's deployment. Jin Yiwei has a lot of work, and the main focus is to rebel.

Each of them has hundreds of gold in their pockets, and the officials will say that they are responsible for buying off Annan's generals and ministers. The ordinary brocade guards with poor business ability are responsible for buying off the soldiers who defend the city.

Jinyiwei has a deep vein in Thanh Hoa City. Some Qinglou prostitutes have been developed into intermittent works to work for Jinyiwei.

Outside the Thanh Hoa Palace, there are dense commercial buildings. In recent years, it is more famous for a commercial building called Jiuge, which specializes in selling seafood, which is of high quality and low price, fashionable and fashionable, and is quite sought after by people in the Western Capital.

Huangzhong, who has long returned to Thanh Hoa, is the owner of this commercial building. Today, I saw a man full of success walking into the commercial building.

Huang Zhong, who was in charge of the brocade guard, greeted him and introduced the goods in the shop with a smile. At the same time, they secretly looked at each other.

On the other side, there seems to be a taste of peers! The strange man stroked his short beard and listened lightly, taking advantage of the fact that the people around him were not paying attention, and said softly: "Dizhen Gaogang, a group of streams and mountains through the ages!" The smile on Huang Zhong's face disappeared, his expression was correct, and he said in a deep voice: "The sky hangs Beidou, and the seven star arrays are nine clouds!" The two looked at each other, as if a thousand emotions flowed inside.

However, Huang Zhong still cautiously asked: "Dressed in brocade clothes, the man is stepping on the waves, dare to ask Brother Tai, where did he come from?" The man smiled slightly and stretched out his finger to the sky: "From the sky!" Huang Zhong was completely relieved, and asked softly: "Dare to ask the honorable surname?" The man said: "Jin Yiwei, Ji Gang!" "Ji Gang...... Huang Zhong was slightly surprised, he had heard that this person was a popular person beside the emperor's grandson.

Unexpectedly, he came in person from the Daming Jingshi. There must be a big report! The two are both Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but they belong to two different departments.

Huang Zhong is in charge of Nanyang intelligence, while Ji Gang is in charge of domestic intelligence. Both of them are people personally selected by Zhu Yunxi.

And they don't know each other, so as to prevent the intelligence department from being controlled by one person. Seeing Ji Gang's arrival, Huang Zhong did not inquire about the intention, but recruited a calm guy and said, "Take the distinguished guest to the back hall!" The guy nodded, glanced at Ji Gang deeply, and said, "Distinguished guest, please!" ”……

"Where is the imperial grandson?" When he arrived at the back hall, Ji Gang couldn't wait to ask. Huang Zhong said: "His Royal Highness has broken through the eastern capital of Annan, Shenglong, and is coming to Thanh Hoa. He added: "There is only one Xianzi Pass in the middle that is slightly defended by troops, and the rest of the places mostly surrender without a fight." "A few days ago, Jin Yiwei went all the way south to vigorously publicize, which had already made people panic, and even Emperor Annam gave in.

Hamzi Pass in the north of Thanh Hoa is estimated to be unable to hold it for a day. Ji Gang nodded slightly, and said: "It seems that there is only the nest of monkeys, why don't I send someone to sneak into the palace and kill the puppet king of Annan?" "On this trip, Ji Gang also brought some people.

There is no shortage of experts who are good at stealth assassination. He has something important to report, and hopes to see the imperial grandson as soon as possible, and no one will be allowed to delay his time.

"......" Huang Zhong was a little speechless, and said with a dry cough: "Ji Qianhu doesn't need to, I have already spread out in the city, bought off the ministers and generals, and Qinghua City can't hold it." According to Huang Zhong's strategy, the Annan courtiers who received the money would try their best to persuade the Hu family father and son to abandon the city and flee.

Reading books like this, Jinyiwei can wait for the rabbit. Where is it necessary to risk going to the assassination.
