Chapter 616 Annan's Three Kingdoms War

Without the fighting of thousands of troops, without the power of roaring artillery fire, the Ming army entered Shuncheng Town, the capital of the Champa Kingdom, at lightning speed.

The resistance was weak, symbolic at best.As long as the Ming army fired a few cannons and fired a dozen rockets, the army of Champa Kingdom would look forward to surrender, and the weakness of the national strength and military strength was fully exposed.

This is the Champa Kingdom that has confronted Annan for more than a thousand years. Is this a well-prepared war to destroy the country?
Generals such as Wu Xiang and Xu Zhiqi were somewhat unexpected, even though they thought it would be an easy battle before the launch.

"In the past hundred years, Champa has no longer been Annan's opponent at all, and it has been able to maintain its autonomy, but it is just lingering on its last breath."

Xu Zhiqi shook his head with emotion. He didn't have much sympathy for the Champa Kingdom. It grew out of nothing and went from prosperity to decline. This is the law of all dynasties, and there is no exception.

It has not been easy for the Champa Kingdom to survive until now, and its demise is also an inevitable result.

It was the only choice for the Champa royal family to leave the city and surrender without using weapons.

A horse galloped up, jumped off the horse and reported: "The Ruan's army has withdrawn for [-] miles and has broken away from our army."

Hehe, Wu Xiang laughed twice, and said, "The general of the Ruan family is wise and decisive."

With such a short time, it is obviously too late to report to the higher authorities and get a reply.General Ruan Jun had to take a little risk in making the decision to back down.

Of course, in terms of strength and force, this Ruan army is not an opponent of the Ming army.Moreover, the Ming army was eager to fight Nan Ruan in order to take the opportunity to blackmail Nan Ruan.

Nam Nguyen will definitely succumb to the situation. The South China Sea Fleet has already sailed to Da Nang to demonstrate its force, and the Zheng family is under pressure in the north. How dare they make enemies on both sides?
Outside the city, the Queen of Zhancheng knelt down with the royal family and ministers, respectfully listening to the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor.

"...Chancheng is changed to Shuncheng, and my mother-in-law is made the uncle of Shuncheng. I will go to Beijing to see you today..."

With a decree, Champa finally became history and became a state in Mekong Province, even its name was changed.Zhancheng Wangpo became the Duke of Ming Dynasty, the kind who has no real power.

After the situation stabilizes, the royal family and ministers of Champa Kingdom, as well as some common people, will also move out one after another and be scattered and resettled.The emperor arranged for them in Dongfan, Hainan and Borneo.

Ten or decades later, after continuous cultural education and nurturing, the clothing and language of these Champa people will completely change.After one or two generations, they will be integrated into the Ming country and become Ming people no different from Han people.

The Chinese civilization is inclusive and has a profound influence on Asia.With the emperor's more powerful promotion, it will radiate all over the world and recast its glory.

In the last days of the dynasty, the ending of the Champa Kingdom is not bad.

The king of Zhancheng had to confer the title of Uncle Shuncheng to enshrine Zhancheng.As a result, the royal family survived. No matter what prince or princess they were, they were lucky to live a good life as commoners.

Without large-scale massacres or destructive wars, Champa disappeared almost silently in the long river of history.

How can such a weak national power be caused overnight?
After roughly counting the wealth of the Champa royal family, the generals of the Ming army may have the answer.Although not sure, it is also one of the reasons.

For such a small country that could survive only a few thousand people, the wealth of the royal family exceeded everyone's expectations.

"I'm afraid Long Live will be surprised too?" Wu Xiang put down the register, pouted contemptuously, "Unfortunately, although there is a lot of money, it is not used in the right place. Even if the wealth is distributed to the people, and the kingdom rises and falls, there will be people for it Take heart, lament it."

Xu Zhiqi took a look at the register and said with a smile, "How good that is. Apart from turning over to the imperial court, a part will be reserved for the royal family of Champa, and after deducting the cost of this operation, there will be a lot left."

Wu Xiang nodded and said, "This will be the purpose of launching wars from now on. Simply put, it is to make money."

"Only in this way can we fight stronger and stronger." Xu Zhiqi said: "A business that loses money will not last long, and no matter how big the family business is, it will not be able to afford it."

Wu Xiang chuckled, stood up and said, "I went to the front to have a look. Although the Ruan family didn't dare to start a war with our army, the defense line that should be set up must not be sloppy. Our 5000 troops will be stationed here forever!"

Xu Zhiqi nodded in agreement, and said: "General Wu has worked hard, so I went to inspect the defense of the lower city to make sure everything is safe."

After the annexation of Champa, the Ming army forced the South Nguyen army to retreat. The original Nan Nguyen garrisoned Yongxie, Panli, and Panlang to guard against Champa, but now they all gave up and formed a new defense line dozens of miles away.

The generals of the South Nguyen Army had a clear purpose, not to conflict with the Ming army.Abandon the strongholds that are too close, set aside a certain buffer area, prevent the Ming army from causing trouble, and find an excuse to go to war.

The Ming army was not polite, occupying Yongxie, Panli, Panlang and other places, and temporarily determined the geographical division with the Nanruan forces.

The northward expansion of Mekong Province not only curbs the pace of Nam Nguyen's southward expansion, expands the territory, but also strengthens the navy's control of Cam Ranh Bay.

For Nan Ruan, because it is located in a narrow and long area, although it has the advantages of mountains and forests, the most feared thing is that the enemy will land from the coast and divide it.

The army of the Ming Dynasty wanted to push from south to north, and Nan Ruan could resist a few times, but the navy of the Ming Dynasty really made Nan Ruan tremble with fear.

Even if it was not a landing operation, if the Ming army navy blocked Da Nang, Nan Ruan would not be able to resist Bei Zheng's offensive without the supply of firearms from the Portuguese.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty annexed Champa, Nam Nguyen took the initiative to retreat, and quickly sent a mission to Mekong Province to negotiate and show goodwill.

After being summoned by governor Dong Yingju, the envoy of Nanruan expressed his willingness to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute of gold, silk and elephants.

You know, the fuse of the Zheng-Ruan war was that the Zheng family asked the Ruan family to surrender, pay tribute to elephants and sea ships, and send their sons to serve.

In other words, apart from sending his son to serve as a servant, Nan Ruan promised almost all the conditions proposed by Bei Zheng to the Ming Dynasty.

In name, the Beizheng regime, which controlled the real power of the Houli Dynasty, also professed a vassal to the Ming Dynasty and was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called "Emperors are among the Yi and Di, and they are ruled by death. If the Yi and Di attack each other, China will benefit."

Therefore, although the Ming Dynasty recognized the regime of the Later Li Dynasty, named Li Shizong Li Weitan as the commander of the Annan Capital, and bestowed a silver seal, which was the same as the Mo family title, but refused to confer the title of "King of Annan" and still recognized Annan who was granted to the Mo family. All commanders.

At the same time, the emperor also sent someone to inform Li Zheng's regime, ordering Xu Mo Jinggong to relocate to Taiyuan and Gaoping, which also marked the survival of the Gaoping Mo regime in Annan.

Similarly, the emperor had to accept Nan Ruan's appointment as a minister, and appointed the Annan Metropolitan Envoy, so that Zheng, Ruan, and Mo could be listed together, and staged a three-nation war in Annan.
