Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 210 Annan Monkey!Dare to be called the Emperor of Dai Viet! ?
In the past few years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the speed of fighting in various places has been too fast, and the opportunities for making military achievements have become less and less.

Especially in the area of ​​the Japanese country, they dealt with monkey-like Japanese pirates. It would be embarrassing to lose, and there is not much credit for winning. Sapphire has already stayed enough.

Therefore, after Guo Zixing, Maogui and others led Goryeo and Jurchen soldiers to the Wa Kingdom, Lan Yu immediately ran away.

"Your Highness, I have heard that the Sultan of Tianzhu is very rampant! This time, I must give him something to look at, and let him know what Daming's martial arts are..."

Sapphire said confidently.

However, Zhu Han interrupted him halfway through his speech.

"Don't think about the Delhi Sultanate in Tianzhu for the time being. There is a blind guy in front of you. We need to let him experience my martial arts!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Where is your Highness talking about?" Sapphire suddenly became energetic when she heard it.

The Ming Dynasty is now in full swing, and even the Mongols have been driven to Mobei to eat sand. According to the news Lan Yu heard, in one or two years, the Mongols will not even be able to eat the sand in Mobei.

Sapphire really can't imagine, which blind guy came to die?

"Not far, An Nanguo is the nearest to us!" Zhu Han said.

"Annan? Isn't that my vassal state of Ming Dynasty?"

Lan Yu has lived a good life in Japan in recent years, and has read a lot of current affairs books in her spare time. She has a rough understanding of the geography and humanities around the Ming Dynasty.

"When Annan wanted to be a dog for me, Da Ming, he called himself a vassal state, and when he became rampant, he called himself Emperor Dai Viet!" Zhu Han said with a sneer.

Lan Yu hurriedly asked what was going on, and Zhu Han explained it to him in detail.

It turned out that it was precisely because of the strong rise of Daming that the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam felt great pressure.

Historically, starting from the Qin Dynasty, as long as it was a unified dynasty, almost all of them were interested in Vietnam, a land with a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere, and even included the northern region under the rule of the Central Plains dynasty several times.

Now Daming's aura is like a rainbow, sweeping the Mongols back to Mobei in one breath, Vietnam's Chen Dynasty is afraid that Daming will turn around and come down south to wipe out Vietnam.

Therefore, under this mentality, the emperor Chen Wang of the Chen Dynasty of Vietnam sent someone to secretly contact Chen Youliang in the southwest, hoping that the Annan people would act in the territory of Daming in the name of business and tribute, and provide information for Chen Youliang, so that the southern border of the Ming army would not be peaceful. , so that it will not attack Vietnam.

Chen Youliang, who was entrenched in the southwest, was also worried about his situation, so he naturally accepted this ally who offered to come to his door with joy.

Chen Youliang and Chen Wang secretly became allies.

Want to deal a heavy blow to Ming's southwest border at the right time.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

What's more, Daming's secret agents have already used Qihai Trading Company to deploy many intelligence networks in the world.

The actions of the Vietnamese emperor Chen Wang were quickly detected by Daming's spies.

After learning that his situation had been exposed, Emperor Chen Wang of Dai Viet not only did not fear Ming's revenge, but directly tore through his disguise, openly proclaimed himself Emperor of Dai Viet, and ordered the expulsion of merchants and envoys of Ming from Thang Long City and other places, even a little The rebels were killed by the Vietnamese.

After hearing this, Sapphire was furious.

"Damn, I thought it was some kind of tyranny. Annan, a small country with a big booger, dared to disobey Daming. His Highness said how to destroy him, and I, Lan Yu, would never hesitate!"

"Annan has a large population, and the rivers and rain forests are densely covered. It is really not easy to completely wipe out him. If you delay too much time, you will easily miss the wind direction and go to Tianzhu. Therefore, this battle is to fight the snake seven inches, and take the arrogant Vietnam with a stick. Beat Meng, and then the imperial court will send officials and troops to educate him slowly!" Zhu Han said calmly.

In terms of land area, Annan is not too big.

However, the distance between the north and the south is very long and narrow, and it will take a lot of time to conquer it bit by bit.

Moreover, Annan has another advantage, that is, the local population is large.

It is even equivalent to the entire Guangnan province. Even if the Ming army wanted to beheaded, it would take a long time.

Zhu Han planned to make a quick decision and command Ming's army to directly attack Thang Long City, the capital of Annan. assimilation.

"The place of Annan has been educated by the Central Plains. They still have a lot of recognition for the brand of Annan. There are also many people who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Therefore, the attack on Shenglong City, the capital of Annan, must be done quickly. Don't give Annan's supporters everywhere a chance to rescue them!" Zhu Han said slowly.

It has to be said that Vietnam has absorbed and utilized some of the essence of Central Plains culture very well.

For example, loyalty to the monarch was spared no effort to promote it by the Vietnamese monarch.

The Ming Dynasty in history once conquered the Vietnamese regime during the Yongle period, but later because of its own ruling method and the national conditions of the local Vietnamese, the Ming army had to withdraw in the end.

The Ming army's abandonment of Vietnam cannot be said to be a military defeat. After all, the Ming army's several campaigns in Vietnam were all cutting melons and vegetables.

According to Vietnamese historical records, the Ming army killed the blood of the Vietnamese army into rivers, and ordinary Vietnamese people were held down by the Ming army to borrow their heads. In addition, a large number of women were snatched back to Daming, and tens of thousands of little boys were castrated into eunuchs. Hard labor.

The killing methods of the Ming army were not insensitive, but they still did not completely intimidate the Vietnamese who had accepted the Central Plains culture. Only by cutting off the spiritual roots of the Vietnamese could they return to Ming with peace of mind.

"Unplug Rising Dragon Mansion!"

"Kill all the officials and scholars who refuse to cooperate!"

"Then stop Ming's warships and merchant ships at all ports in Annan, and use swords and money to completely conquer them!"

Zhu Han's plan is standard conquest, another civilized route.

Although Vietnam is a secondary civilization of the Central Plains culture, it also has a strong autonomy. The longer the delay, the more troublesome it will be to solve.

……

Annan, Thang Long.

Dai Viet Emperor Tran Vang sits in his Dai Viet Palace.

Surrounded by several Vietnamese officials wearing imitation Central Plains official uniforms, they read the memorial in their hands.

Many of these memorials were played by officials of the Chen Dynasty and local tyrants.

What they said was to persuade Chen Wang to give up being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty and continue to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, how strong is the Ming Dynasty who dared to bring the Mongols back to Mobei? How could our little Annan fight against such a powerful Ming Dynasty.

Chen Wang got impatient when he heard half of it, and he slammed the table in front of him.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, a precious Ming Dynasty Jingdezhen ceramic teacup on the table fell to the ground.

"Stop reading it!"

"These people don't understand my good intentions at all!"

"Northern people have always been very ambitious. As long as their family dominates, they will covet my big and fertile land!"

"Ming is so powerful, how could it be unguarded?"

"Speaking of which, these fearless people are afraid of the Ming army!"

"But I'm not afraid! The Mongols ruled the world back then, and they were even more arrogant than the Ming army. In the end, they fell under my resistance!"

The arrogance of Emperor Chen Wang of Dayue was definitely not just because he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

In fact, Vietnam really has its own unique military advantages.

Weapons such as crossbows and gunpowder commonly used in the north will basically lose their original power in the humid and rainy season in Vietnam.

A large amount of fish float glue used on the crossbow will loosen in a humid environment, making the shot feel soft and weak.

Coupled with the rainforest that is full of rivers, it is often difficult for large ships above the Central Plains dynasty to pass.

As for the brilliant gunpowder in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty, it was unbearable to use in a humid environment.

Chen Wang felt that he should have so many geographical advantages. Even if the Ming army thought he was not pleasing to the eye, they would not be able to attack Vietnam if they did not prepare for three to five years.

And in the process of these three years and five years, he only needs to join forces with Chen Youliang to mess up the border of Ming Dynasty, and he can ensure that his Dai Viet Dynasty will last forever.

What's more, if the Ming army is exhausted from fighting, Chen Wang may have the opportunity to lead Dai Viet to capture Guangxi!

Chen Wang was immersed in his dream of carrying forward the Dai Viet Dynasty, but he didn't realize that a crisis was coming from the sea.

All the military defenses of An Nanguo are located at the intersection of the north and Guangnan West Road.

As for the long coastline, the Dai Viet army has set up many obstacles to prevent ships from docking, and there are also a large number of Dai Viet troops stationed in a few ports. As long as the enemy dares to enter the port, they will enter the encirclement of the Dai Viet army.

However, Chen Wang never thought about it... The so-called encirclement circle set up by his Dai Viet army can only be used to trap cats and dogs.

If a tiger broke into this encirclement, what would be the consequences, but he never thought about it.

……

Outside Shenglong City...on the sea to the east, the Ming Navy Fleet led by Zhu Han approached the land ahead under the moonlight.

Zhu Han stood at the forefront of the battle line, and Zhang Dingbian, the forward officer next to him, said to him.

"The Annan monkey in front has set up a lot of antler obstacles on the beach. If you want to get close to the shore, you have to enter the port."

Zhang Dingbian was the general Zhu Han recruited into the camp of the Ming army.

He has always been very loyal to himself, and his water combat talent is very high.

Zhu Han's voyage to the West this time is basically Lan Yu as the general of the land battle, Zhang Dingbian as the general of the water battle, and Chen Baodao as the personal guard.

"There must be defenses in the monkey's port." Zhu Han said lightly.

"Your Highness, the Annan monkeys do have some defenses here. According to the reports from the spies, it seems that they have deployed more than a dozen large iron cannons!" Zhang Dingbian said.

It has to be said that although the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam is a bit arrogant, it has always been very active in its learning attitude. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, many technologies have been learned by them.

For example, the tactic of using cannons to control the water surface was not long after the rise of the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Chao had already learned it in a decent way.

It's just that Monkey's cannon casting technology is really backward.

Zhu Han felt that the range of their artillery might not be as good as the artillery on his own ship.

"It's nothing more than a chicken and a dog. Go straight in and fight the fort first! Then attack the city!" Zhu Han gave the order to start the battle without hesitation.

Rumble!
Boom!

Bursts of artillery sounded on the sea in the night.

The warships of the Ming army had a large displacement, and the maximum caliber of the artillery on them was 36 pounds, which was enough to destroy general fortifications.

What's more, An Nanguo's coastal fortifications are all made of rammed earth, and they never thought that there would be long-range strikes at sea.

The artillery of the Ming army was so powerful that it hit the Annan army fortress by the sea in the first round.

The broken masonry woke up the defenders from their sleep screaming!

"what!"

"what happened!"

"Are the pirates coming?!"

An Nanguo's soldiers were all stunned.

but.

The Ming army will not give them too much reaction time.

The second round of artillery bombardment came soon.

Rumble!
Boom!

Unlike the first round of artillery, this time the artillery all fell from the sky.

Mortar bombs like the tails of comets first rose into the sky, and then fell down.

An Nanguo's fortifications could not stop the mortar shells falling from the sky.

The violent flames quickly destroyed the few forts in Annan Kingdom.

"Hahaha, fun!"

Zhang Dingbian laughed out loud. Seeing that the Ming army's attack was going smoothly, he directly ordered the Ming army's warships to fire.

Cannons, large and small, immediately smashed the Annan Army's defenses into scorched earth.

There is chaos in Annan's army!
The loud sound immediately spread to Dongxing City.

Shenglong City, the capital of Annan Kingdom, is hundreds of miles away from the sea. Dongxing River flows into the sea outside Dongxing City after passing through Shenglong City.

Zhu Han's current location is hundreds of miles away from Annan Shenglong City.

First of all, it is to occupy Dongxing City, and then send shallow-draft warships along the Dongxing River to take Shenglong City directly.

The artillery of the Ming army not only destroyed the Annan army's fortifications, but also completely disintegrated their morale.

Without seeing the enemy, Annan's army had suffered more than [-]% casualties, and the morale of the entire army had completely collapsed.

Annan officials and soldiers in Dongxing City were captured by the Ming army who landed and raided before they could figure out what was going on.

"Your Majesty!"

"Don't cry!"

Zhu Han entered Dongxing City under the escort of the Ming army's personal soldiers. Dozens of Annan officials were tied up and escorted to kneel down.

With the help of the light from the torch, Zhu Han quickly saw that all the Annan officials were in a dazed state.

"Which one of you has the highest official position?" Zhu Han asked while looking at the prisoners kneeling on the ground.

All the officials of Annan Kingdom have learned a lot of Central Plains culture. Whoever learns it well will be able to be reused by the Annan royal family in Annan Kingdom.

Therefore, they can not only understand Chinese characters, but also have a good level of Chinese, without any translation at all.

"The villain is Li Zhixing, the pacifier of Dongxing..."

Under the pressure of the Ming army, a trembling An Nanguo official said.

An Nanguo's official system was learned from the Song Dynasty. The senior officials of Anlan Kingdom used the official titles of the Central Plains Dynasty such as Taishi Taifu, while in the local area they used appeasement envoys and county magistrates.

Li Zhixing, the pacifier of Dongxing in front of him, is the highest official here in An Nanguo.

"The king of Annan, Chen Wang, is arrogant and rebellious, and offended Da Mingwei. If today's soldiers have arrived, the traitors of Annan Kingdom will surely die without a place to die!"

"This king is not allowed to see An Nan country's life is devastated, and the people suffer from the war. You immediately issue a notice that as long as the loyal people in Dongxing City are willing to follow Daming to fight against Chen Wang's traitors, all the crimes will not only be forgiven, but each person will be rewarded with [-] yuan." , all captured on the battlefield belong to these people!"

Zhu Han said loudly in front of these An Nanguo prisoners.

Dongxing City is very close to the sea. If it can be controlled by the Ming army, it will be a very good base.
