Xia Xun, who was standing on the city wall and commanding, was not satisfied with the results.

The 30,000 army in his hand is the most elite army in Guangxi, and to support this army, the center allocated 270,000 silver coins last year!

When Fang Ying had an army of 700,000 in his hands, he only spent 500,000 silver coins a year.

This army was dominated by the Han army, which was recruited from the mines, and required a height of more than 165, strong and agile.

13,000 miners were recruited from the mainland, and they were given the highest salaries, food and clothing were the best in the Guangxi army.

and selected 15,000 elites from the Guangxi wolf soldiers, the elite of the elite, Fang Ying felt distressed.

There were also 1,300 Tatar cavalry, as well as 700 Caoding as sailors.

There are also ten students who graduated from the lecture martial arts, serving as a thousand households.

His Majesty personally gave the name of the army, the Purple Electric Army.

It can be said that this army, looking at the Ming Dynasty, is also the elite of the elite.

Against the 170,000 army of Annan, only 3,000 corpses were left, and the Annan army was not defeated in a battle, so Xia Xun was unhappy.

The Purple Electric Army, which returned victoriously, was like a mourner.

The generals of more than 1,000 households all went to Xia Xun's tent to plead guilty.

"With the military expenditure of 300,000 troops, raise 30,000 troops, will you raise waste like you?"

Xia Xun roared angrily: "How do you let this official explain to Your Majesty?" ”

"The salaries of all armies in the world are paid monthly, and the Purple Electric Army is paid in advance!"

"The salaries of each army, ordinary soldiers earn three dollars a month, how much does the Zidian Army get? A full one or two! ”

"Your Majesty's silver coins! On the market, far more than one or two! ”

"Where's the equipment of the Purple Electric Army?"

"Look at the Goose Feather Knife, Waist Knife, Bow and Crossbow, Hand Hammer, Purple Gold Hammer, Spear, and Fire Hammer you are equipping!"

"Which army is fully equipped? Look at the Guangxi soldiers, they are equipped with up to three things! ”

"Look at your armor again? One set in winter, one set in summer, which ones are missing, such as face armor, shoulder armor, arm frame, and leg armor? Two sets of armor, worth seventy taels of silver! How many armies are there in the Ming army that are so equipped? ”

"Also, how many arquebuses are equipped with the latest arquebuses produced by the Ordnance Bureau? How much heavy artillery and fierce fire bombs have equipped the Purple Electric Army? ”

"Your Majesty is very kind to you!"

"But what about your record? Are you worthy of Your Majesty? ”

Xia Xun slapped his cheek vigorously: "There is no place for this official's face!" The officials all want to jump off the city wall to save His Majesty from blocking it! ”

All the generals knelt on the ground, and Xia Xun was right.

The emperor's special approval of the military salary of 270,000 silver coins of the Purple Electric Army caused an uproar in the court, and even all the armies stared at the Purple Electric Army.

Why do you get so much military pay? Pick up so much good gear?

Even, the Zidian Army formed an army alone and broke away from the Guangxi Army, Fang Ying was not happy.

Let's take a look at the composition of the Purple Electric Army, miners, wolf soldiers, Tatar elites, Cao Ding, and water step riders.

Don't underestimate the miners, Qi Jiguang's Qi family army recruited Yiwu miners.

The Purple Electric Army is the entire southern challenge, and they are all powerful and powerful men.

Cao Ding, slender man, and even more natural sailor seedlings, Yu Qian recruited a sailor, first selected among them, and then selected the captain, fisherman, etc.

"The lower official is guilty!" Liao Zhuang kowtowed.

He never thought that the emperor would agree to him to control the cavalry in the Purple Electric Army, which shows the emperor's heart.

But this battle was indeed smashed and humiliated.

The Annan army was indeed not weak, the cavalry and the Ming cavalry were evenly matched, but they still left 600 lives, and they still had fewer enemies and more enemies, and the results were very good.

However, you have to look at how much money this army burned, and the emperor built the Zidian Army, which was used to attack fortified positions.

The result was a small victory, which is really humiliating.

"The lower officials are guilty!"

"Conviction is a fart! What to do? Xia Xun drank coldly.

"One more fight!"

Liao Zhuang kowtowed: "The lower officer is willing to personally lead the cavalry to attack and harass the Annan army, forcing the Annan army to turn around and fight with our army again." ”

"Good! The task will be handed over to you, and this official wants a big victory! Win glory for Your Majesty and shut up all the armies in the world! ”

The Ming army was scolded here.

Ding Lie's distress over there, the dead are all elites.

Annan was full of more than 10,000 cavalry, a full 7,000 people, and was pressed and beaten by 2,000 Ming cavalry.

The Ming army was not satisfied, and the thought that the Ming army was invincible popped up in Ding Lie's heart.

Heading south overnight.

Ding Lie continued to plague the city in the south, using the quagmire to tie down the Ming army's footsteps in the south.

And Fang Ying entered the royal capital of Annam at this moment, Hanoi.

Hanoi was officially renamed Jiao Chau and temporarily became the seat of Jiaozhi Province.

And the palace, Fang Ying didn't dare to enter the palace, after all, King Annan lived there, he was not Zhong Hui, and he didn't want to be Deng Ai.

He occupied a government office and requisitioned it as the Jiaozhi Governor's Mansion.

The originally prosperous royal capital was full of devastation, and the first thing he did when he entered the city was to extinguish the fire and stabilize law and order.

And the people of Annam cried and begged for food with the Ming army.

"That's ruthless!"

Fang Ying was speechless: "Use the people of the royal capital to delay the pace of our army." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, someone wants to dig the Red River embankment and flood Jiaozhou!" Gao Rui hurriedly came in, but fortunately, the Ming army took the sailor and arrested the group.

Fang Ying has seen that those who engage in politics are more ruthless than those engaged in military.

"Gao Rui, how much food is there in our army?" Fang Ying asked.

"Back to my lord, let's travel south lightly, and we didn't bring much food." Gao Rui was puzzled.

Fang Ying was pondering: "What if the estuary is dug up and Jiaozhou is irrigated?" ”

"Adults, don't! This Jiaozhou is the seat of Jiaozhi Province, and it will cost a lot of money to rebuild! ”

Gao Rui doesn't understand, these people of Annan are the scourge.

If they can't be fed, they won't hate King Annan, but only Daming.

Besides, these people betrayed Da Ming once!

Who's to say there isn't a second time?

Fang Ying waved her hand: "Go and invite Mr. Xu." ”

Mr. Xu is Xu Zheng.

He was kept by Fang Ying's side to participate in political affairs.

In fact, in order to facilitate the statistics of Hanoi's household registration, but precious documents such as registers and land registers were taken away by Ding Lie.

Xu Zheng is taking over this mess, and the personnel in his hands are obviously not enough.

Hurrying in: "Governor, what is the matter?" ”

"Mr. Xu, Annan has abandoned a hundred cities, and the people are waiting to be fed, but our army does not have much food and needs to be transferred from the country, and this governor wants to dig the mouth of the river and flood Jiaozhou."

Xu Zheng was not surprised, but muttered: "Xiaguan roughly estimates that there are 700,000 people in Hanoi. ”

"Moreover, the former king of Annam (Le Binh) built a palace, and there were more than 300,000 strong men in various cities in Hanoi,"

"There are still a large number of displaced people, and Daming has to feed two million mouths."

Xu Zheng also has a headache, these people will raise hatred.

"Yes, if these people rebel, we will be mired in war!" Fang Ying is forever troubled.

It was like capturing the cities in the north and south of Annan, driving out all the people of Annan and leaving them to fend for themselves.

Xu Zhengdao: "Flooding a city in Hanoi can't solve this problem." ”

"What does Mr. Xu mean?" Fang Ying was a little frightened, slaughtered two million people?

"Tu!"

Xu Zhengdao: "Ding Lie retreated in a hurry, and there were a lot of goods left in Hanoi. ”

"As long as we collect it, it will be enough for us to rebuild central Annam."

"Moreover, how clean is it if you don't slaughter?"

"If I were Ding Lie, before leaving, I would definitely bury a large number of spies to sabotage Daming."

"It's easy to conquer a city, but it's hard to govern it."

"Tu!"

Xu Zheng's eyes were firm: "If you want long-term peace and stability, you must slaughter!" ”

On the contrary, Fang Ying, as a general, was a little hesitant: "It's better to catch a group of slaves and return to the Ming Dynasty......"

"You can't leak the news, slaughter first! The rest were taken as slaves! ”

Xu Zheng said seriously: "Nan Hehou doesn't want to bear the infamy, I, Xu Zheng, will bear it!" ”

is worthy of being a person who dares to fight with the emperor, and he is really good at doing things.

Fang Ying ordered!

Slaughter the city!

The people of Annam were also unlucky, abandoned by their own king, and thought that the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow would come and still live.

As a result, suddenly, the gates were closed.

The Ming army showed its butcher's knife and began to slaughter the city!

In Xia Xun in Henan, after receiving the order to slaughter the city, he shook his head slightly, such a trivial matter, it is not the turn of the Zidian Army to do it, just let the Guangxi soldiers do it.

He was in charge of chasing Ding Lie's ass and beating him.

Pursuing all the way to the banks of the Ma Jiang River, Ding Lie drilled into the city of Thanh Hoa, and the Annam army in the west and south all rushed to Thanh Hoa to converge, and the Annam army swelled to 510,000 people.

Lai Sicheng announced the relocation of the capital to Thanh Hoa.

Thanh Hoa has also been the capital of Annam, which is equivalent to Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Xun was stationed on the side of the mountain on the north bank of the river, facing Thanh Hoa from a distance.

The reason for stopping the crossing of the river.

Because of the epidemic in the Purple Electric Army, the Tatar cavalry did not adapt to the climate and diarrhea, and those who brought foot doctors in the army were being treated in the border mountains, and there was no plague.

Pursuing all the way, Ding Lie plummeted from 170,000 troops to 140,000.

7,000 people were killed in the battle, 13,000 were lost, and 10,000 surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The Guangxi army is slaughtering without sealing the knife.

The whole central part of Annam is like the Shura Hell.

Fang Ying also led the elite southward and stationed in the upper reaches of the Majiang River to rejuvenate.

Trying to cross the river, the Annan army attacked it halfway and repelled Fang Ying's advance force.

Fang Ying didn't care, he kept sending troops to cross the river.

Cross the river with a strong stance.

However, the Annan army set a trap on the south bank of the Ma River, and more than 500,000 troops set up a large formation and defeated Fang Ying.

Fang Ying was forced to return to rejuvenation.

"This battle is unbeatable."

Xu Zheng made suggestions: "There are not many soldiers, if the Annan army only has more than 100,000, it can be evenly matched with our army." ”

"Now they have more than half a million people, and they must be divided into various factions."

"The people's hearts are in turmoil, and no matter how many troops there are, it is useless."

"We're going to wait, wait for the opportunity, and we'll be able to break through."

Although Fang Ying was defeated, he just left two or three thousand corpses behind.

His 300,000-strong army went south, and now he has lost more than 5,000 people, but the results are gratifying.

On the contrary, it is the Purple Electric Army, which is somewhat of a wretch, and has not made a name for itself, I am afraid that when the military salary is paid next month, the center will make some trouble.

"Moreover, it is Ding Lie who is in charge of Annan, not the king of Annan, and there must be people who disobey Ding Lie's orders."

Xu Zhengdao: "As long as we wait for the opportunity, we will definitely be able to find flaws." ”

Fang Ying asked Xia Xun to discuss how to go south.

Xia Xun rode over on a fast horse.

"Your Excellency the Governor, I'm afraid this battle is about to enter a stalemate."

Xia Xun believes that going south at this time is a waste of troops, so it is better to accept it when it is good.

"Your Majesty's solemn decree that Jiaozhi must be recovered this year."

Fang Ying also knew that the Annan army did not suffer many losses when it went south, and 30,000 people was a drop in the bucket for the Annan army.

"I can only make it clear to Your Majesty that we can't be defeated for the time being, and Your Majesty won't blame us."

Xia Xun said bluntly: "Nanhehou, our army should quickly digest the northern part of Jiaozhi, move in Han in a big way, and restore order as soon as possible." ”

The massacre order will last for a month.

Guangxi wolf soldiers scattered 200,000, all captured to the wolf soldiers, but it is strictly forbidden to kill each other, and those who kill each other are punished.

If it is not captured, let the wolf soldiers slaughter, and the fool will kill people.

Wolf soldiers also spare their lives, who wants to risk being killed to kill people, isn't this slaughter just for money?

At this point, Daming is particularly creditworthy, and will never embezzle the money that the soldiers have worked so hard for.

Even, if the wolf soldier dies in battle, the money will be sent to the family, and there will be no difference.

Therefore, the slaughter can be carried out smoothly.

"Ugh." Fang Ying still wants to fight the princess.

"Nanhehou, our army is in a stalemate with the Annam army, but it can advance westward, borrow land from Laos, and lead directly to Siam."

Both Xia Xun and Fang Ying received a strict order from the cabinet that no matter what the cost, land communication with Siam must be opened.

As long as you go further south, you will reach a narrow area of Laos, and you can borrow a piece of land to border Siam.

The current Laos is the Lancang Dynasty, which is the southern palm.

Its territory is the Lancang River (Mekong) River Basin, starting from the Changshan Mountains in the east (now the border mountains between Laos and Vietnam), connecting Mengyan (now northern Thailand) and Mengsu (now central and northern Thailand) in the west, Chenla (now Cambodia) in the south, and Mengxi (Xishuangbanna) in the north.

Now reigning is Chagapa, the twelfth king of Lancang.

The current Lancang is in its heyday, and it is also a famous unified dynasty in the history of Laos.

The countries bordering China, where China was in its heyday, they also entered a period of stability, and China was in civil strife, and these countries were also in turmoil.

"Borrowing land or going west?" Fang Ying couldn't help laughing.

Xia Xun shook his head: "Now is not the time to go west, it is best to borrow land, of course, my army is on the edge of Laos, and we will also see the reaction of Laos." ”

"Okay, the Governor will send an envoy to Laos."

Xu Zheng volunteered to be an envoy, but was rejected by Fang Ying.

The war entered a phase of stalemate.

The two sides divided the river and ruled the country.

Thanh Hoa, however, entered a fierce political struggle, and everyone in Annam believed that Ding Lie was incompetent, causing Annam to lose his northern territory.

Li Sicheng, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly contacted the armies and killed Ding Lie.

Xia Xun spread out the night and stared at Qinghua's every move, and suddenly Qinghua guarded the city gate, and the army was placed on the south bank, beware of the Ming army's sneak attack.

"Ding Lie is going to die!"

Xia Xun saw the opportunity, Ding Lie gave up Hanoi, so he revitalized this game of chess, and used the people of Annam to drag the Ming army south.

He quickly sent a signal to Fang Ying.

Fang Ying crossed the river overnight.

But with desperate resistance from the Annan army, Fang Ying was beaten back three times.

Xia Xun also began to cross the river.

The Annan army was forced to disperse and assist in the defense, which gave both sides a chance to crush.

The crossing time of the river lasted for six hours, and the entire Majiang River was full of corpses, mostly of which were Ming soldiers.

After crossing the river, Fang Ying immediately attacked Lang Zheng.

Xia Xun pinched the city west of Thanh Hoa and was neutral.

"It's broken, it's a plan!"

Xia Xun suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the turmoil in Thanh Hoa seemed to have stopped, and this was a ploy to attract the Ming army to cross the river.

But Xia Xun immediately drove all the Annam people out of the city, and he remained neutral.

However, because of his caution, Xia Xun missed the opportunity.

It wasn't a deception in the city, but that Ding Lie was defeated too quickly.

Ding Lie Ben.

The 140,000 troops he brought out, only more than 10,000 remnants remained, and he wanted to flee north to join the Ming army, but the Ming army went south, so he ran west in anger and went to Laos.

Li Sicheng, who pretended to be dead, once again seized power.

However, the situation is very different from before, now it is a troubled time, and those who have soldiers have the final say, he is the king of Annam, but he has no military power.

Ding Lie's army of more than 100,000 was divided among the various armies.

Li Sicheng has changed from the mascot of Ding Lie to the mascot of the military leader.

Fang Ying continued to move south, conquering Yule and Changchun, cutting off the road for Thanh Hoa's westward advance.

Li Sicheng was frightened and led his army south, and the army of more than 500,000 was sharply reduced to 410,000, and Emperor Annam toured south again.

Ran directly to Hue.

Hue is in the south of Annam, and it is also one of the ancient capitals of Annam, this place is no longer the ancient province of Cochin, but the territory of Annam.

Fang Ying and Xia Xun took over the city all the way.

Laos actually came to pick up the bargain and went east to Qishan, but met Fang Ying's army and was beaten back by Gao Rui.

On the way to escape, Ding Liexi was arrested by Gao Rui and sent to the Xia Xun military camp.

Xia Xun wants to recruit him, and Ding Lie does have a set of battles.

It is a pity that for the sake of political struggle, Annam lost Dinh Lie, and also lost the strip between Thanh Hoa and Hue, and the entire Annam has almost shrunk into the territory of the Occupy City State.

The situation in Annan has been decided, and it is only a matter of time before it is annexed.

Fang Ying sent a showman, Hao Xuan, to Laos.

Laos is really embarrassed.

I wanted to go east to get some cheap, but I was embarrassed by the Ming army to beat back, Fang Ying wrote a letter, writing: The Ming commander made Gao Rui capture nearly 10,000 Lao troops.

Chagapa, the king of Laos, is a king who has made great achievements.

During his reign, he ended the chaotic government of Laos and began to revitalize Laos.

As a result, Laos's fate was not good, and he met Zhu Qiyu, who was full of ambition.

"Your Excellency, this matter is a misunderstanding, I thought it was an invasion by the Annan Army, so I fought the war, I don't know it was a heavenly soldier."

The Great Tomorrow soldiers are too fierce.

It has only been a long time to occupy the northern part of Annam, which has sent Annam to Hue and lost 80% of the country's territory.

Laos was originally weak, and Annan bullied him casually, but now there is another evil neighbor, and this evil neighbor has wrapped up the northern and eastern parts of Laos.

"The Celestial Empire naturally won't blame the king."

Hao Xuan is forty years old this year, but he couldn't even pass the exam, Jingtai was recruited by the court for ten years and volunteered to be an official.

Therefore, Fang Ying chose someone to be an envoy, and he volunteered to get a good official position.

"This envoy is sent to your country at the behest of the Governor of Liangguang."

"I want to discuss with the king about borrowing land."

As soon as he heard about borrowing land, Chagapa immediately became vigilant, Daming's greed for territory was clearly revealed, and he would not fight Annam and Laos on the other, right?

Does Daming have this strength?

Hao Xuan said coldly: "My Celestial Empire trades with Siam, but it does not border Siam, so I want to borrow a place in Laos and border Siam." ”

When Chagapa heard this, didn't that cut off Laos?

"The king will listen to the foreign ministers first."

"It's not that the foreign ministers laughed at the king, the king's Laos, and Siam, Annam, Ava, and Cambodia wars all ended in failure, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not enough for the foreign ministers to say, right?"

"Now that Annan has been driven to the city of Zhancheng by my Daming, it won't be long before it disappears."

"Your Excellency the Governor has helped you think about it, and sell the area bordering Laos and Cambodia to Daming."

"In this way, your country only has three neighbors, Daming, Siam and Ava."

"Siam and Ava are both subject countries of the Ming Dynasty."

"If these two countries annex the territory of Laos, or attack Laos with an unjust notoriety, the Ming Dynasty can mediate."

"Of course, if you don't want to, Da Ming can also take it yourself, and when the time comes, it's up to the governor of my family to decide!"

The entire Laotian court was in an uproar.

Da Ming's breath is too big, right?

Cut the land, cut the land, what are you burying us for?

Chagapa's anger choked in his throat, you are too deceitful!

"Is the Celestial Empire going to declare war on me?" The Laotian courtiers shouted angrily.

After listening to the translation, Hao Xuan sneered twice: "Your Laos attack on my Ming territory for no reason has been regarded as a declaration of war!" ”

"If you don't obey the mandate of heaven, then the governor of my family can wave his army to level your Laos and let you know what the mandate of heaven is!"

"Don't forget, your Laos is not a dynasty, there is no Lancang Dynasty, only me, the Ming Lao Xuanwei Division!"

"You Laos, you belong to my Ming territory!"

"Your Excellency the Governor has sent foreign ministers to talk about and discuss, which is already to give you face!"

"If you don't want to discuss, okay, Daming wants you to be the capital Luang Prabang!"

Hao Xuan brushed his sleeves and left.

The Lao court is stunned, is this a fucking negotiation or a provocation?

I also received a reward from the Ming Emperor last year, why did I change my face today?

"Your envoy stays!"

Some of the Laotian courtiers were red-faced, and hurriedly grabbed Hao Xuan: "We have something to discuss." ”

"Your country's tone is not like discussing with the kingdom, it's more like ordering the kingdom!"

Hao Xuan sneered: "You have to recognize yourself, this is the Lao Propaganda Division, and it is the territory of my Ming Dynasty." ”

"Let Er and others be called lonely, and it is already His Majesty's imperial grace."

"If you don't want to, then go as a slave!"

Is this a human thing?

Chagappa's whole face turned red, and he didn't take the bean bag as dry food? Am I not a king?

"You make it angry, you make it angry."

Hao Xuan stood tall and self-reliant, he was taller than all the courtiers in Laos, Hao Xuan was 1.65 meters tall, and he had a feeling of standing out from the crowd, and he was shocked.

Laos seems to be shorter than the Annamite!

Really, Laos is a famous dwarf in the world, with an average height of less than 160 per capita in modern times.

Hao Xuan's tone softened: "As long as the foreign minister points to the land, he doesn't want more, and this land is not for nothing, and getting His Majesty's favor is more important than how much territory you have." ”

A finger to the ground.

The Lao courtiers thought that the borders between Laos and Cambodia were all poor and remote areas, and it didn't hurt to give them to him.

"Your Excellency, is your envoy's intention to do so, or is it the intention of the Governor of Liangguang?" Chagapa found a loophole.

"The conquest of Annam is because Jiaozhi is the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, and the king of Annan has a lot of disrespect for the Ming Dynasty, so His Majesty was angry and ordered the conquest of Annam to recover Jiaozhi."

"This place is the land of my great wisdom, it has been since ancient times, and it is indisputable."

"Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's attack on Annan is a domestic dispute, and no one is allowed to criticize it!"

"And because of the trade with Siam, it is also His Majesty's order to open up land communication with Siam."

"Your Majesty is a loyal dog of Your Majesty, so naturally you must serve wholeheartedly and dare not delay a bit."

Hao Xuan said seriously: "Foreign ministers, in the Ming Dynasty, it is just a mere talent, because of the emperor's grace of His Majesty, there is an opportunity to make an envoy, it is because we are all working for Your Majesty, and we are all contributing to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Chagapa is envious, how come I don't have such a loyal servant.

"The foreign minister only asks for a finger of land, please allow the king."

Hao Xuan was condescending, first threw out a series of cannons, suppressed the Laotian courtiers, and then talked slowly.

"Does this finger refer to the border between Lancang and Zhenla?" Chagappa asked.

"Naturally!"

Hao Xuan said seriously: "The fertile soil of the Ming Dynasty is tens of thousands of miles, the distance from Jiaozhi to Beijing, and the distance from Beijing to Mobei is equidistant, this is just the north-south direction of the Ming Dynasty, the east and west are longer than the north and south, just ask the king, what is the territory of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Chagapa swallowed, I wish I were the Emperor of the Celestial Empire.

"Okay, I'm willing to sell it to Daming." Chagapa emphatically said a sale.

Hao Xuan's face was full of disdain, and the little royal family was really blind.

No matter how much territory you have, it is not as good as pleasing Your Majesty.

No matter how big the territory is, sooner or later it will be the Ming Dynasty, if you win the favor of Your Majesty, maybe you can go to the Ming Dynasty to be a marquis.

"May I ask you, what is the price?"

"This ......," Chagappa said embarrassedly, of course, the more the merrier.

"The king must have seen the silver coins of the Ming Dynasty."

When it comes to silver coins, Chagapak likes it very much, this thing can be blown and imitated in Laos, but the imitation is lonely.

"Your Majesty can give you 10,000 silver coins as money to buy land."

"How much?"

Chagapa was shocked, 10,000 pieces, this is a great reward!

If you said you were willing to spend 10,000 silver coins to buy land, would I not agree?

The Laotian courtiers were stunned, such a rotten land is worth 10,000 silver coins?

Even if it was ten thousand taels of silver, they all agreed.

Laos is really poor, poor from ancient times to the present, poor without solution.

"Then the matter is settled?" Hao Xuan asked.

"It's settled." Chagapa had the map taken out.

Hao Xuan said: "Don't bother, the foreign minister came with a map!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a map of the Ming Dynasty from his arms, which was a map embroidered by the embroiderer, marked with Jiaozhi, Laos and other places.

Hao Xuan flattened the map.

Chagapa sat on the throne and couldn't see the map clearly, where is Laos? I had a sense of foreboding.

Hao Xuan put a finger on the long map of Laos.

"Your Majesty, this is the place where the foreign ministers are fingered!"

Rumble!

The Laotian courtiers blew it up directly!

You just put Laos into it!

Do you play like this?

With this point, you have included half of Laos.

We sold half of the land and 10,000 silver coins to the Ming Dynasty? We're sick!

"Your Majesty, is there a problem?" Hao Xuan asked very innocently.

Yes, there is a big problem!

"Your Excellency, are you joking?" Chagappa felt that his IQ had been humiliated.

Hao Xuan said seriously: "The foreign minister represents the Ming Dynasty and is negotiating with the king about selling land, when did he joke?" ”

"The minister has said, as long as you point to the place."

"You've said yes."

"The price was also negotiated."

"What? Eat one's word? Joke about His Majesty's Tianwei? Or take pleasure in the majesty of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Hao Xuan played a scoundrel directly.

Zhang Yi's 600 miles will go down in history.

He Hao Xuan is about to point to the place and go down in history.

Whoever made you Laos, it is best to bully Laos, and who is not bullied if you are not bullied.

"Hahaha!"

Chagapa laughed angrily: "Is it true that the Ming envoy is no one in Lancang?" ”

"The king has reversed his word, but he blames the ministers?"

Hao Xuan sneered: "The foreign minister only asked the king, is this a place to finger?" Did the minister lie? ”

Chagapa didn't talk to him about it, and said lightly: "Since Da Ming is not sincere, then don't talk about it." ”

"The minister retires!"

Hao Xuan is also tough.

As a result, that night, Chagapa received news from Annan that the Ming Dynasty had carried out massacres in Annan, and the number of Annan people in all occupied areas had dropped sharply.

A few days later, Chagapa received news that the Ming army had attacked the province of Huapan.

"Is Da Ming a mad dog?"

"Just after biting Annan, come and bite me Lancang!"

"Aren't they afraid of broken teeth?"

Chagapa was furious, Huapan Province was a high mountain and a plateau, the Ming army was attacking from the back, and it was still fighting with Annam, and it was impossible to win the Lancang.

But after ten days, I received the news that the barrier in Hoophan Province had been lost.

Fourteen days later, news of the fall of Hoaphan province was received.

The speed is amazing.

At the same time, the army galloped westward and marched into Luang Prabang!

Meng You on the Nam Kham River has been conquered, Luang Prabang is in the upper reaches of the Nam Kham River, and the Ming army is two hundred kilometers away from the royal capital of Laos!

It was only seventeen days since the Ming Dynasty attacked Huapan Province!

Chajapa was terrified.

"Sum, sum!"

The Lao court was stunned, the Ming army was too fast.

Huapan Province, known as the western barrier, resisted Annan for decades, but was conquered by the Ming Dynasty in ten days, and reached the Lancang royal capital in 17 days.

I can only invite Hao Xuan.

Hao Xuan knew that Fang Ying must have entered the west, otherwise Laos would not have compromised so quickly.

Then the lion can open his mouth.

"Huapan Province must be included in Daming!"

"Absolutely not, Huapan Province is the eastern barrier of the Lancang royal capital, and it must not be given to Daming!" Chajapa is afraid.

If you lose Huaphan Province and the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow, you can come to the royal capital of Laos to take a turn.

Moreover, the dividing line between Laos and Annam is Chang Mountain.

It is equivalent to the Taihang Mountain of the Ming Dynasty, and even more precipitous than the Taihang Mountain, with mountains all two thousand meters high and endless.

The terrain of Laos is a plateau and mountainous area, and Annam fights Laos and is an upward attack, so Huaphan Province is very important to Laos, and it is also particularly important to the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming wanted to attack Laos, he could only go to Huaphan Province, and he had to climb the mountains and attack Laos on his back.

Fang Ying was caught off guard and lost nearly 7,000 people before entering Huapan Province.

Laos lost Huaphan Province, the strategic place was gone, and the defense system based on Changshan completely collapsed.

So, this is the biggest bargaining chip.

"We are willing to exchange Champasak for Champasak."

The Lao courtiers also wanted to exchange the territory of the Ming Dynasty for land.

"That place is poor and remote, worthy of Huapan Province?" Hao Xuan thinks the negotiation is so cool.

"Add another province of the Gonghe River!"

Hao Xuan looked at the map, and with this territory, the border between Laos and Cambodia was cut, and the Ming Dynasty bordered Siam.

This is the best result Fang Ying wanted before the mission.

However, the Ming Dynasty lost its troops, and if it gets this again, it will not work.

Fang Ying marched all the way west, losing 17,000 men and horses.

These losses must be made up from Laos!

"Trade it for a finger!" Hao Xuan said.

"No way!" Chagappa adamantly disagreed.

"The Ming army will soon be able to surround your Lao royal capital, what room for bargaining do you have?" Hao Xuan sneered.

"Your honor, the king of Lancang can be surrounded, it's just a big deal for us to move the capital."

"But with Lancang, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not settle down when it gets the territory of Laos."

"Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has just annexed Annan, and it will definitely take time to digest it, and now it is rash to fight with Lancang, I'm afraid it is not in the interests of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Chagappa saw through it.

Hao Xuan found that he underestimated the Laotians, who were short but not low in IQ.

"To the south of Khammouang Province!" Hao Xuan ceded the territory of a province.

Chagappa held on to his original chips.

"Bounded by the Sebangheng River, the north belongs to Laos, and the south belongs to the Ming Dynasty, which is the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty!" Hao Xuan also has a firm attitude.

This section includes the four provinces of Laos.

It is on par with Quang Tri Province of Annam, and the Ming Dynasty only pushed it to Quang Tri Province, and now that it has obtained the territory of Laos, Hue of Annam will definitely not be able to hold it.

Laos initially disagreed.

However, Fang Ying continued to advance westward, camped 40 kilometers away from Luang Prabang, and sent troops to raid and harass all the estates, looting and looting on a large scale.

Laos was forced to sign an agreement with the Ming Dynasty.

South of the Sebangheng River, it belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

It took three full days to draw the new boundary.

Chagappa also wanted to ask, did he give the promised 10,000 silver coins?

Hao Xuan was very generous, and said with a wave of his hand!

In the end, it was agreed that the Ming army would retain 30,000 troops in Laos, and then withdraw after receiving the new border, and Laos would support the Ming army during this period.

If Chagapa doesn't agree, he can't help it, and if he falls behind, he will have to be beaten.

Hao Xuan happily reported to Fang Ying.

And Fang Ying was fighting and grabbing, and at the same time sent someone to draw a map and thoroughly explored the route of Laos.

When he retired from the army, he bought a lot of natives in Huapan Province, and these natives were mothers if they had milk, and Daming was willing to give money and things, so they were willing to serve Daming.

When the next time the army enters Laos, these people will be able to dedicate Huaphan Province to the Ming Dynasty.

Fang Ying withdrew from Laos.

At the same time, Gao Rui was sent to take over the new territory.

And to open up the connection with Siam, recruit locals, and build a trading city.

There is also a secret order, find a way, kill the local natives.

However.

The Ming Dynasty took control of the southern part of the Sebangheng River, which immediately caused fear in the Annam regime in Hue.

The Ming Dynasty carried out massacres in the north of Annan, and the wolf soldiers in Guangxi transferred 450,000 people, and they did not seal the knife for two months, and all the seizures went to the soldiers themselves.

45 days after the massacre, Fang Ying issued another one, counting the battle merits according to the head, and this battle merit can be used to divide the land.

As a result, the people of Annam, in the area north of Hue, have been frantically reduced.

From seven million, it plummeted to less than a million.

The million also went into the mountains, and after a rainy season, there were not many people left alive.

The whole of Annam, ten rooms and nine empty.

When Fang Ying withdrew his troops from Laos, he ordered the knife to be sealed.

It has been 77 days since the day of the order.

The losses of the wolf soldiers were as high as 30,000.

Massacre, hurting others and hurting oneself.

And all this will not be recorded in the official archives, the official will only record that the local people think that they are of Han and Miao descent, and they carry pots and pulp to welcome the king.

Xia Xun did not participate in the massacre, but the generals below knew that the Guangxi soldiers were making money, so they couldn't hold it back, so they also went to the massacre.

In the end, Xia Xun also let go, and there was only one rule, and no cannibalism was allowed in the army.

Xia Xun is in Guangzhi.

Set up a monument for the soldiers who were damaged in the battle and worship the Ming soldiers who died in battle.

Wherever they died in battle, they were all killed, but in Xia Xun's eyes, these people were all heroes.

Fang Ying ordered the knife to be sealed.

If you don't seal the knife, you can't do it, the people are gone, who will kill them.

The army moved south, threatening Hue.

Hue has no danger to defend, and fighting with the Ming army in the field is purely looking for death.

The Annan army fought three field battles, with nearly 20,000 losses and 60,000 captures.

These captives were forcibly loaded onto ships and transported back to China, and they would exhaust their last strength to control the Yellow River.

Li Sicheng had to escape.

The Ming army gathered more and more in Hue, constantly driving the people to attack the city, Hue was crumbling, and had to abandon Hue and continue to be unable to escape.

More than 400,000 troops, only 200,000 were taken from Hue.

Most of the rest fled in all directions, and more than 40,000 were captured by the Ming army.

The battle of Annam, there is no longer any objection.

The only thing that can stop the Ming army is the climate and terrain.

Cambodia's Chenla Dynasty suddenly went east, came to pick up the bargain, annexed the province of Dor Lak in Champang, and cut off the road for Le Si Cheng to the south.

The head of the Annam army surrendered en masse.

Li Sicheng wanted to flee to Cambodia, but was arrested and sent to the Ming army camp.

Inheriting five generations of monarchs, the Annam Li Dynasty perished.

At this time, it was already February of the eleventh year of Jingtai.

And south of the Sebangheng River, annexed into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, made Siam terrified to the extreme.

Some time ago, it was said that it did not border with Daming.

It's only been a few months, and the Ming Dynasty has already obtained the bordering territory from Laos, and the Ming and Siam have become neighbors!

The entire Indochina Peninsula, all countries, have become neighbors with the Ming Dynasty!

La Meixuan slapped herself in the face: "You owe it!" What to say about food! Well, this time, Daming is here! ”

He could only send an envoy to ask for peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Before his envoy could be sent, Gao Rui sent an envoy and asked Siam to send people to help build the city.

Of course, La Meixuan wanted to object, but think about the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

Annam, a powerful country in the central and southern regions, said that the destruction of the country will destroy the country, and the Ming army spent 17 days under the capital of Laos.

So, angering the Ming army, how many days will the Ming army arrive at the royal capital of Siam?

What makes La Meixuan even more frightened is that Daming is slaughtering!

Occupy a place and slaughter a land.

The upright Tu is not afraid of what others say at all!

If the Ming Dynasty goes west, not to mention entering the royal city, it is said that the city in the east of Siam will be slaughtered, and it will be enough for him to drink a pot of Meixuan.

Therefore, La Meixuan immediately agreed and was willing to send people and craftsmen to help Daming build a city.

Fortunately, Gao Rui said that the money was clear, as long as the Siamese went to war, the governor gave the king of Siam 10,000 taels of silver.

The silver still has blood in it.

Originally, the Champasak region, where birds did not poop, began to build cities on a large scale, and this place was an important place to attack Laos, Siam, and Cambodia.

"Zhenla is not small!"

After learning that Cambodia had taken Duole Province, Fang Ying ordered Gao Rui to go south to Chenla and conquer Chenla Province.

Xia Xun continued to go south, attacking the province of Duole occupied by Zhenla, and defeated Zhenla.

Zhenla was already at the end of the dynasty, the domestic contradictions were sharp, and the rule was crumbling, so he dared to touch the ass of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Zhenla lost the province before seeking peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Xia Xun went all the way to the south, and it belonged to all the territory of Zhancheng and was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the younger brother of the king of Champa who was hiding in the mountains ran to the Xia Xun camp and begged the Ming to help him restore the country.

Xia Xun was kind enough to appease and asked him to bring the rebels out of the mountains.

Panluo Chayue still trusted Daming and brought 30,000 righteous troops out of the mountains.

Xia Xun ordered to be buried alive.

Panluo Chayue was stunned, why did Daming treat the people of Zhancheng like this?

Fang Ying had already handed over the task of recovering all the cities to Xia Xun, and a total of 400,000 troops marched south.

Receiving the city in a large area, pretending to be a normal reception, and then slaughtering the city as usual.

Including the royal city of Zhancheng, it was not only slaughtered, but also burned by Xia Xun.

The end of the entire Annan may not end until the twelfth year of Jingtai.

But the whole of Annam, including a small part of Laos and two provinces of Cambodia, was included in Cochin.
