Mu Sheng had been observing for many days and did not dare to attack rashly.

"Although our army has siege equipment, ladders, fairy caves, artillery, etc., the walls of many states are thick and strong, and it is advisable to use calculations."

Zhang Fu stared at the map, and he also saw the other party's layout during the day, just as Mu Sheng said.

And the sailors of the Ming Dynasty could not come in.

"I will lead my army to attack the southwest of the city of Dobang, and you will lead your army to the southeast."

Zhang Fu made up his mind.

Two days later, in order to confuse the enemy, the Ming army lined up on the beach, and after the arrangement, Zhang Fu sent a suspicious army to a place one mile away from the planned attack point to make an attack posture to attract the attention of the defenders of Annam.

At the four drums of the twelfth, Zhang Fu sent the governor Huang Zhong to lead the army with siege equipment, quietly crossed the river and crossed several trench traps, and successfully sneaked to the city, because the cannon was too heavy, and could only be attached to the city with a cloud ladder.

At this time.

Du commanded Cai Fu to lead his troops to ascend first, slashing indiscriminately with knives, causing the defenders to exclaim.

The Ming army that attacked the city ignited the luminous gunpowder of the night, blew the copper horn, and the city suddenly lit up with fire, and the horn sounded loudly, and the Ming army's heart was greatly boosted, and they rushed to be the first to attach the ants.

The defenders of Annam had long been demoralized, and when they saw that the Ming army had climbed the city wall, although there were only a few enemies, they panicked, and after each of them fired several arrows, they broke down and jumped off the city and fled.

The Ming army easily occupied the city walls.

The Annam army, which retreated into the city, under the command of the Tianchang army general Ruan Zongdu and others, reorganized its defense and came up with a killer weapon - elephant soldiers.

As the largest animal on land, the elephant can be called the ancient tank, which is extremely deterrent and intimidating, and the lethality is even more amazing when charging into battle, and it has a unique position and important role in the war in Southeast Asia.

The elephant soldiers are also the most powerful troops of the Annan Army.

It's just that the elephant soldiers can't stop the self-generated fire.

The Ming army had already been prepared, and under the intensive shooting, the elephant soldiers were frightened, and they were injured by birds, and they actually galloped back and forth, and the Annan army was shocked into a formation.

At this time.

The new army came with artillery, and the largest and most core city of the Annam defense line was taken in one day.

From the umbrella round mountain along the south bank of the Fuliang River, all the way to set fire to the wood fence, showing a trend of destruction and decay.

On the 14th, the Ming army smashed the eastern capital, the defenders of Annam abandoned their armor and fled, and the Ming army occupied the eastern capital.

Zhang Fu garrisoned the army in the southeast of the city, and the people of Annan were moved with joy, especially the people who were forced to guard the river gate before, and the people who surrendered were tens of thousands of people.

Every day, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Annam were attached, and although the results were gratifying, they could bring tremendous pressure to the logistics of the Ming army.

So far.

Nearly half of the land on the south bank fell into the hands of the Ming army, and all localities held high the banner of the Ming Dynasty and took the initiative to send food and supplies.

October 19.

Li Yuancheng was defeated.

The Ming army captured more than 57,000 troops of Annam, and successfully recovered Thang Long, the former capital of Annam, on the 21st.

October 28th.

Zhu Di arrived in Annam and was greeted by Chinese officials and squires from all over Annam.

Zhu Di came to Thang Long.

In the royal palace of Thang Long City, they were summoned.

"The chaotic government of the father and son of the Li thief has caused the people of Annan to live in poverty, and I have the responsibility to save the people of Annan from fire and water."

"All the people without food can get help from the Ming army, and the local villagers should lend a helping hand to prevent the people of Annam from starving to death because of the war."

"Officials in various localities should guard themselves and restore production order in various localities as soon as possible to ensure the stability of Annam."

Zhu Di's speech, with its hidden information, overjoyed officials and squires from all over Annan.

Overnight.

Order was restored in the northern part of Annam, and the people returned to their hometowns, and the local government organized the production of fields.

The common people who did not have grain in stock were absorbed by the Ming army as civil husbands, and the Ming army supplied food every day.

The interests of the big families in Annam have been protected, the officials have been protected, and the people have also been protected, and everyone is happy.

The law of conservation of energy.

There is always one side that suffers.

Only the Ming Dynasty.

The daily consumption of materials and food can be described as astronomical materials, and by sea, batches of cargo ships have been transported.

After half a month of running-in.

The north and south of Annam have stabilized, while the south of Annam has become completely chaotic.

November 17th.

Zhang Fu led the Ming army into Fenghua Mansion, and there was no war, and the county capitals and counties had already opened their gates to return to the table.

The Annan army encountered surrendered one after another, and the Ming army recovered the entire Fenghua Province without much effort.

November 15th.

The Daming sailors arrived at Hue Mansion, and the city of Hue Prefecture took the initiative to return to Shun, and the soldiers of the Daming Sailors were a little dazed.

Their purpose was to harass and they were not prepared for war on land.

But what they didn't expect was that they just passed through the city, and the city took the initiative to open the gate to them and presented the table to them.

The sailors had no choice but to enter the city, and they couldn't leave them alone, so they began to garrison, waiting for the Annan army to attack.

In the end, it was not the Annan Army that was waiting for them, but the annexation of dozens of counties such as Sirong County and Lifeng County.

Then they recovered all the way, entered Tan Binh Province, and finally entered the south of Nghe An State, the northern part of Nghe An State is Yan Chau Province, and the northern part of Yan State Mansion is Thanh Hoa Province, the base camp of the Li family and his son.

The officials and squires of the Yanzhou Mansion did not dare to belong openly, but privately sent letters one after another, secretly contacting the Ming army.

Fighting back and forth, the result was that the Ming naval soldiers achieved the most amazing results.

Less than a few thousand sailors recovered one-fifth of the land area of Annam, three provincial capitals, and more than 30,000 people of the Annam army who voluntarily surrendered.

Everyone knows that the Li father and son are gone, and they have no power to return to the sky.

Zhu Di in the north got the good news from the sailor, and looked at Zhang Fu, Mu Sheng and others embarrassedly, and sure enough, the two of them were shocked.

The sailor did this, picking peaches so much, that he suddenly became the most brilliant army in the Battle of Annam.

Zhang Fu and Mu Sheng couldn't help but look at each other, and they both felt each other's unhappiness.

Stimulated.

The Ming army roared and rushed to Thanh Hoa Mansion.

At this time.

The north is the Ming army, the south is also the Ming army, the east is the sea, and the same is the world of the Ming army, and only the west can run.

But Laos in the west, hostile to Annam, was also a local official appointed by the Ming Dynasty, and now it is the Lao Propaganda Division, which belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

In short, the Li father and son had nowhere to run.

When the Ming army arrived in Aiju, a coup d'état was staged in the city of Thanh Hoa.

Annandine.

The thirty-third year of Hongwu, the ninth day of the twelfth month.

Mo Di and others led 1,200 elderly people from the prefecture and county to meet Zhu Di.

Zhu Di warmly received them.

Mo Di led the way and said: "The descendants of the Chen family have been killed by the Li family, and there is no successor. ”

Zhu Di agreed in embarrassment.

December 11th.

Zhu Di announced to Annan that he would set up three divisions and counties, and at the same time repeatedly informed the people of Annan, stating the beginning and end of the use of troops in Annan, and announcing that he would be lenient and good in governing and comforting Annan.

At the same time, the officials of the three divisions of Jiaozhi were appointed.

With the governor of the capital Lu Yi as the commander of the capital, Huang Zhong as the deputy, and Huang Fu of Shangshu as the head of the government and the second division of the inspection.

Zhang Xianzong, the former squire of the Ministry of Works, Wang Ping, the left and right political envoys of the Fujian Political Division, Liu Ben, the former Henan Political Secretary Liu Ben, and Liu Yu, the right political secretary, participated in the politics of the left and right, and the former Jiangxi Zhou Guanzheng and Pei Boqi, who were attached to Annan, were the left and right senators.

Ruan Youzhang, the former Henan envoy, and Yang Zhi, the deputy envoy of Henan, were the deputy envoys of the procuratorate, and Liu Younian, the former governor of the Taiping Prefecture, was the deputy envoy of the procuratorate.

On the same day, the re-edict was re-established to set up 15 prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Jiaozhi, with 36 prefectures and 181 counties under its jurisdiction.

More than 460 years after independence, Annam was incorporated into the Chinese territory and became one of the provinces.

Zhu Di played a general, and the king's life was not affected.

The plan reached with his eldest son was completely rejected by Zhu Di, and the two systems were not implemented in Annan, but directly incorporated into the rule.

After the news of the recovery of Annam reached back to the capital, the entire Ming Dynasty was boiling.

Everyone is celebrating.

Even the social newspaper published a lot of congratulatory articles.

"Emperor Hongwu came to the world, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Today, the officers and men of our Ming army gathered together to shoulder the heavy task of unifying the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Relying on the grace of the Holy Lord and obeying the military order, we will do our best to raise the prestige of our country and create immortal achievements together!"

……

"Since Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, the four seas have been peaceful, and the country and the people have been peaceful. However, the foreign enemy has not been appeased, and the border is uneasy. It is imperative to expand the territory and unify the Ming Dynasty. ”

"In order to maintain the security of the Ming Dynasty and highlight the majesty of the Heavenly Empire, the soldiers of our Ming army went on an expedition to recover their homeland and glorify our Chinese civilization."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Yuanzhang was coaxed into laughter by such a straightforward sycophant, and his old face seemed to be dyed with flowers.

He likes to listen to the vernacular, and he doesn't like to watch the officials' literary and crepe recitals, and he has repeatedly warned the officials.

"Look at what the newspapers say."

Zhu Yuanzhang handed the newspaper to Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi took it helplessly.

He really didn't expect that Zhu Di would play this game with him.

"The matter has come to this, why bother, and it was the squires of Annam who took the initiative to ask for it, and it was not your father who forcibly pushed it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized.

"Grandpa Huang, this is something you and your father have discussed a long time ago, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly shook his head.

"We're not villains, we don't know anything."

Zhu Gaochi was speechless.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was already full of pride.

"The joint appeal of thousands of village elders, no one is a fool, and they can't hide it from the local squires in Annan, which is arranged and promoted by my father."

Zhu Gaochi pointed to Zhu Di's letter.

"Grandpa Huang, look at it, they are all officials of my Ming Dynasty, and my Ming Dynasty has high productivity and a prosperous literary style, may I ask the squires of Annan, how can they be consistent with the Ming Dynasty if their long-term interests are damaged?"

"Then add another list, make a new list, and recruit more Annan scholars as officials, won't it be solved."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who keeps pace with the times, makes Zhu Gaochi a little uncomfortable.

Can the readers of the Ming Dynasty be satisfied?

Wouldn't it be beneficial for them to recover Annan by the Ming Dynasty, but they need to share the profits, and it will be long-term.

The Ming Dynasty paid countless materials, and also gave up huge political benefits.

I am afraid that in the long run, it will make Daming lose the initiative to develop.

That's it.

Zhu Gaochi groaned, how to solve this phenomenon.
