The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 790 The way of using soldiers, the benevolence and righteousness of Taishang Tangwu
A huge third-tier battleship slowly appeared in Longmen Port.

There were three men standing on the bow of the ship. The three of them held the side of the battleship with ugly expressions and looked left and right.

These three people are Liu Zongzhou, the censor of the former Zuodu, Zhongguang Shiheng, the official of Bingke, and Zhou Zhong, a concubine of the Hanlin Academy.

They traveled all the way to Guangdong on the third-class "Changsheng-class" battleship newly produced in Lushun.

Liu Zongzhou and Guang Shiheng were on the boat in Tianjin, and Zhou Zhong was on the boat in Songjiang.

Go all the way south to Longmen Port, Guangdong.

Longmen Port is located in the south of Qinzhou, Guangdong, and Annan is a few dozen miles to the west.

These three people are all wonderful works of the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Zongzhou was from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and he was a good official, but he believed in Neo-Confucianism (Xue Xue) of Song and Ming Dynasties, and he was most famous for trying to prevent Chongzhen from building artillery at the last moment.

He learned benevolence and righteousness with the mind, and believed that the "heart" of people in the world is originally good, and it is necessary to use benevolence and righteousness to influence others.

Back then, he was dismissed because he prevented Chongzhen from making cannons. After Ding Yi entered Beijing, he was immediately appointed as the censor of the right capital.

In the Ming Dynasty, the left was bigger than the right. Liu Zongzhou felt that he was downgraded, and he was reluctant to become an official at first.

He was only willing to come out when Ding Yi said that there was an important matter for him to handle.

Not to mention Guang Shiheng, when Chongzhen wanted to flee to the south of the Yangtze River, he was the one who forbade Chongzhen to flee.

Zhou Zhong was a native of Jintan in the south of the Yangtze River. After Li Zicheng entered Beijing, he helped him write the enthronement edict.

In this history, Li Zicheng did not come in time to ascend the throne in the capital, nor did he have the opportunity to write an imperial edict.

Ding Yi sent these three good comrades to Annan together to proclaim the Ming Dynasty's imperial edict, strictly ordering Zheng Bing of the Later Li Dynasty not to attack Mo Jingyu, and returned the four prefectures of Gaoping (Shilin, Guangyuan, Shanglang, Xialang) to Mo Shi.

In the original history, in 1669, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty sent Li Xiangen and Yang Zhaojie to request the Hou Li Dynasty to return the four Gaoping prefectures (Shilin, Guangyuan, Shanglang, Xialang) to the Mo family, and Mo Jingyu was able to return to Gaoping , renamed Mo Yuanqing.

Now Ding Yi has asked Liu Zongzhou to announce the imperial edict more than 20 years in advance.

And this meeting was the time when Zheng Bing was still alive in the Houli Dynasty and the army was at its strongest.

At this moment, the three of them were standing at the bow of the ship, waiting for the ship to land.

Standing at their position, they could see human heads everywhere along the coast of Longmen Port, countless people and workers were building something, and there was a crowd of people on the pier, at least a few thousand people were working.

"What's the name of this place?" Guang Shiheng had never been out of Zhili before, this would be the first time he had traveled far, and he vomited many times due to seasickness.

"Qinzhou, Guangdong." Zhou Zhong said with a bitter face, "It's thousands of miles away from the capital."

Liu Zongzhou didn't care about these things. He looked back at the battleship from time to time: "This battleship called Lushun, why is it so big? King Zhenbei, when did he build such a big ship?"

Zhou Zhong nodded: "I'm afraid it's even bigger than the big boats in Chengzu's reign."

"There are still these guns." Liu Zongzhou hated firearms the most. Seeing the densely packed artillery on the battleship, he was very angry: "Today, we rely on weapons without waiting for others, so the national prestige will be strengthened."

He said this to Chongzhen once, and now he said it again.

"The king of Zhenbei reused Xiyi, which is the root of the country's disaster."

Guang Shiheng and Zhou Zhong didn't dare to answer.

Guang Shiheng's eyes rolled: "Liu Duxian's trip this time will definitely teach Fanyi with 'benevolence and righteousness'."

"Of course." Liu Zongzhou said proudly, "Outlanders, we should educate them with benevolence and righteousness."

Their big ship drove to the front, and found that there was no place for the big ship to dock in front of it, and it was being built, but a platform had already been connected to the shore, and some soldiers started docking with a springboard.

At this time, a dark fan soldier came over, speaking in fluent Chinese: "Please come ashore, my lords."

"Hong Xu, the commander of Leizhou, is waiting for some adults in Qinzhou."

Liu Zongzhou stared at the soldiers dumbfounded.

These Fanbing boarded the ship in Quanzhou, and they were all transported to Quanzhou by senior officials first, and then boarded their ships in Quanzhou.

They can carry more than 600 people on board, and now they have [-] soldiers.

The three of them went ashore quickly, and after finally getting ashore, they saw groups of soldiers on the third-tier battleships begin to gather and go ashore.

This time Ding Yi mobilized [-] soldiers and [-] Mongolian Jurchen soldiers from the generals to fight Annan.

Because there were Liu Zongzhou and others on this ship, only Fanbing was released.

The three of them watched for a long time on the shore, until they saw all the soldiers disembarking, and then looked at each other, thinking at the same time, they are really elite.

These Fanbing were more elite than any Ming army they had ever seen.

But Liu Zongzhou always felt something was wrong.

Zhou Zhong said at this time: "The king of Zhenbei seems to be very understanding of the mind, he taught the Fanyi with benevolence and righteousness, and used it for our Ming Dynasty."

Liu Zongzhou was speechless for a long time, and wanted to refute, but it seemed reasonable.

But he must be upset at this meeting. Anyway, he is Du Xian, Youdu Yushi, and there is no sympathy at all.

At this moment, the Ming army and local officials came from a distance.

"Is it Liu Duxian, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Everbright? The lower official Qinzhou Tongzhi Xie Haishan."

"Qinzhou Guard Commander Ding Shitou."

Ding Shitou is also an old brother from Xu Dabao. He has been working in the intelligence department for the past few years and only recently came here to serve as the commander of the guard.

He and his local colleague Xie Haishan came to welcome the three of them.

Xie Haishan took them all the way back to Qinzhou, and together with the prefect of Qinzhou, gave them a good banquet that night.

Liu Zongzhou's face was a bit ugly, because the magistrate didn't go to pick him up, there wasn't enough time to meet him, and Hong Xu, the so-called general soldier of Leizhou, didn't show up either.

But with his character, he wouldn't say anything in person, he just put on a bad face.

The next day, Xie Haishan briefly explained the situation to him.

Since the formation of the Southern and Northern Dynasties in Annan, the country has been divided into four forces, the Mo Dynasty, the Houli Dynasty, Champa, and Longping.

From north to south, they are Mo Dynasty, Longping, Houli and Champa.

The strongest is Hou Li.

Later, General Ruan Huang of Houli saw that Zheng Jian, the power minister of the Houli Dynasty, was suspicious of him, so he applied to leave the town of Hue, and then developed into the Ruan family in the south, and the four forces became five.

In 1625, Zheng Bing sent Zheng Qiao to lead his troops to capture Gaoping, captured and killed the Supreme Emperor Mo Jinggong and the Mo Dynasty Crown Prince, etc., and took them to Qinghua for beheading.

Mo Guangzu Mo Jingkuan fled to the Ming Dynasty with his second son Mo Jingyu. In the same year, he sent people to surrender to the Houli Dynasty.Under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty at that time, the Later Li Dynasty granted Mo Jingkuan the title of Taiwei and Tong Guogong and allowed him to return to Gaoping.

During the decades when the two sides lived in peace, Mo Chao has been accumulating strength, training troops and hoarding fields.

In 1638, after the death of Mo Guangzu Mo Jingkuan, the new Mo Mingzong Mo Jingyu succeeded to the throne. His ability was much stronger than that of Mo Jingkuan.

Zheng Bing didn't feel good. In 1638 and last year, he sent troops to attack Mo Dynasty twice, but was defeated by Mo Jingyu's troops.

In the meantime, Zheng Bing and the southern Ruan clan fought many wars, winning and losing each other. In the original history, they fought until 1672, and they decided to draw the river to rule if they couldn't tell the winner.

Therefore, in the current situation in Annan, there are five forces: Mo Dynasty, Houli Dynasty, Nguyen Family, Long Binh, and Champa.

The Mo Dynasty is the worst, only Gaoping is left, Longping occupies the middle of the northern part of Annan, the Ruan family is in the middle to the south, and the south is Champa.

Xie Haishan said: "What is the court's will, does Liu Duxian know?"

Liu Zongzhou said: "Of course, order Zheng Bing to return the four prefectures of Gaoping to Mo Jingyu."

"Release Annan as the 'Annan Metropolitan Envoy.'"

On the third day of November 1540, Mo Dengyong and dozens of ministers knelt down and bowed down. They entered Zhennanguan and asked the officials of the Ming Dynasty to surrender. The Ming Dynasty reduced An Nam quc to the An Nam capital. Envoy.Feng Mo Dengyong was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Annan capital, Yi Cong Erpin, hereditary, silver seal, and Annan legally became an autonomous unit within the Ming Dynasty.

But at that time, Mo Dengyong didn't seem to mind this. He calmly claimed to be the commander-in-chief to the Ming Dynasty, and continued to call himself Emperor Jianyuan internally.

Xie Haishan nodded: "It has been a long time since Annan acknowledged the commander-in-chief of Annan's capital."

"The meaning of the King of Zhenbei is to ask Zheng Bing to also recognize the commander of the Annan capital. The Zheng family is the most powerful. Reason, move it with emotion, you must not rely on the strength of the Ming army and make dangerous words."

Isn't this nonsense, Liu Zongzhou said coldly: "The way to use soldiers is the benevolence and righteousness of Tang and Wu."

"I'm going here, and I will definitely educate them with benevolence and righteousness."

How can you use a threatening tone, and you think I am from a proud general like Ding Yi?

Xie Haishan was secretly amused, with a respectful expression on his face: "Liu Duxian understands righteousness and will be able to accomplish great tasks."

Guang Shiheng was a little anxious at this moment: "Just the three of us going? No guards?"

Ding Shitou on the side was serious: "Annan's climate is different from that of Ming Dynasty, and our soldiers and horses are not used to it."

"Don't worry, the Mo Dynasty sent a team of soldiers and horses to protect you. With the talisman of the Ming envoys, the people of the Hou Li Dynasty will not do anything to you?"

"After all, they used to be our vassal state."

Guang Shiheng also said, Liu Zongzhou said loudly: "The heaven is a kingdom, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Ding Yi sent someone to tell him in private before that if the matter is successful, let him enter the cabinet and become the auxiliary minister.

Liu Zongzhou was also determined to accomplish this, and early the next morning, he made a noise about entering Annan.

Ding Shitou sent a team of people to escort them, all the way west, into Fen Maoling.

This side is full of mountain roads, and you have to climb mountains and ridges. All three of them are officials in the capital, with thin skin and tender flesh. Those who have suffered such hardships all complained endlessly.

After sending it in for about ten miles, a group of black and thin Annan people ran out from the side of the road, they were exactly the troops sent by Mo Jingyu.

There were 20 of them, and they brought a large amount of horse mules and grain, and they would escort them to Houli Dynasty.

The team leader is Hu Heng.

Ding Shitou bid them farewell immediately and hurried back to Guangdong.

Hu Heng was Mo Jingyu's confidant, they didn't even know that the Ming army was going to attack Annan, and they thought Ding Yi really wanted to help them as a peacemaker.

Now he took Liu Zongzhou and the others to the Houli Dynasty.

At the same time as they were going to the Houli Dynasty, a large number of soldiers and horses of the Ming army were gathering from the coast of Guangdong to Qinzhou.

A large number of merchant ships and warships also gather here.

To conquer Annan, you only need to defeat the strongest Hou Li and the second strongest Nguyen.

Whether it is Hou Li or Nguyen, one of their capitals is in Thang Long and the other is in Hue.

All are not far from the sea.
