The spring of the eleventh year of Xuanwu has arrived!

Just in the spring of this year, Zhao Zhe led an army of 100,000 south into Annan!

The Chinese people are much more interested in regaining Annan than expelling the Mongols! After all, in the eyes of most Chinese people, Annan belongs to the former territory, and the group of people in Annan now are traitors from the Central Plains and must be eliminated! Moreover, Annan has a fixed territory and city, and it is much easier to attack Annan! In contrast, the Mongols on the grassland have no fixed place and live nomadic residence, and it is extremely difficult for them to encircle and suppress the Mongols.

Zhao Zhe went south in February, and his journey was unstoppable. On March 15, 100,000 Song troops arrived at the city of Jiaozhou!

Jiaozhou is the location of Hanoi in Vietnam in later generations. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the largest ruling area in China! At the earliest, the capital of Jiaozhou was located in Guangzhou in later generations. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiaozhou belonged to the Wu Kingdom. Wu Kingdom divided Jiaozhou into Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and the capital of Jiaozhou became Hanoi in later generations.

Tens of thousands of Song troops surrounded the place, and they launched a fierce attack on Jiaozhou.

On the city wall, the Annan people were also struggling to resist!

Arrows are flying, and the shouts of killing are shaking the sky!

It was already late at night, and the attack of the Song army still did not stop!

From March 15th to March 21st, six days and six nights, the Annan soldiers on the Jiaozhou city wall were almost dead, and Jiaozhou was finally broken! Countless Song troops poured into the city of Jiaozhou.

Zhao Zhe led tens of thousands of main forces toward the most center of Jiaozhou City, where Annan’s so-called imperial palace is located.

At noon, the Song army surrounded Annan Palace.

Half an hour later, the gate of Annan Palace opened, and a very beautiful woman walked out with a child in yellow in her arms, and countless Annan ministers followed behind the woman.

This woman is Empress Dowager Annan, and she is less than twenty years old now! That child is Li Yingzong of the Vietnamese Dynasty in history. However, Li Yingzong is now just a three-year-old baby. Now Annan is regent from the Empress Dowager Li, and that woman is Li!

Li fell to the ground with tears on his face! Behind Li, the Annan ministers were also sad, and countless Annan ministers were crying. They all knew that Annan was over! Starting from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Annan was independent. In just two hundred years, Annan actually experienced two dynasties. Until now, this dynasty has come to an end! The Central Plains were unable to recover Annan before, but the Central Plains never recognized Annan's independence. Now the national strength of the Central Plains is extremely powerful and finally completely destroyed Annan.

Hearing his mother's crying, Li Yingzong, who was only three years old, also burst into tears.

"Come on, help the Empress Dowager get up!" Zhao Zhe said loudly.

At this moment, Zhao Zhe was covered with dirt and blood everywhere. His hair was extremely messy, but his face was filled with excitement.

Finally conquered Jiaozhou! The remaining Annan South is much weaker than the north!

That night, more than 3,000 Song troops escorted Empress Dowager Annan, the emperor and ministers to the north. These people will eventually be sent to Yanjing City, and Zhao Zhe continued to lead the army south.

In mid-April, the entire Annan was recovered, but there were still people in many places in Annan to resist, and Zhao Zhe's army was now distributed throughout Annan.

On April 21, Yu Yunwen came to Annan as the emperor's special envoy, and he met Zhao Zhe south of Jiaozhou.

Both of them were ministers from Guanshan. They had dated when they were in Guanshan. At this moment, they met, and they both smiled on their faces.

"Mr. Yu, I have ordered people to collect all kinds of documents from the Annan court and can be handed over to your hands at any time! Annan's size is not inferior to Goryeo, but its population is not as big as Goryeo. The population here is only more than 1.5 million." The two of them headed towards the military camp in front together, and Zhao Zhe said with a smile.

Annan in this era was much smaller than Vietnam in later generations, and was only the size of a province in the Central Plains! As for the population, the population density in most places in this era was extremely low, and Annan was no exception.

"The Government Affairs Council asked me to be responsible for the political affairs of Annan and establish an official in Annan! However, before that, Annan still needed to implement military control! In the next six months, all your army will stay in Annan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"The Annan people's resistance was much more intense than the Goryeo! Although we captured Annan, there was no peace everywhere! Many Annan people did not obey our rule." Zhao Zhe said.

"Before I came to the State Council, the Military Affairs Department had discussed the issue of Annan several times. If the resistance here is indeed fierce, if necessary, we can relocate the population of Annan in large quantities! Annan only has a population of more than 1.5 million, and we can move half or even more of them to the north. After that, 300,000 young people from the Production and Construction Corps will travel south to Annan!" Yu Yunwen said.

"This..." Zhao Zhe showed an incredible expression on his face.

"I will carefully examine the situation in Annan, then make a decision, and report my opinions to Your Majesty and the Government Council. Then Your Majesty, the Government Council will reply as soon as possible! If we recover Annan, we must make this place completely a part of the Song Dynasty and we cannot let this place be divided again! During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, they will split, and they will split in the future. Then we will completely replace this place, so that all this place will become loyal to Your Majesty and the people of the Song Dynasty, and make the culture, system, and everything here are the same as the Central Plains." Yu Yunwen said.

"I understand!" Zhao Zhe nodded.

*******

At this moment, in the distant Siberia, in the far north, a large group of savages were running on the wasteland!

They were all unshaven and their clothes were extremely worn, but they were holding refined swords and other weapons in their hands.

They ran very fast. When the sun set, a large area of ​​water appeared in front of them, and everyone's faces showed a surprise smile.

They ran faster and almost tried their best to move forward!

Finally, the boundless sea appeared in front of them again. The group of "savages" couldn't help but kneel down, and tears of excitement flowed out of many savages' eyes.

"We have come to the beach again! Great! After half a year, we have finally come to the beach again!" The young man in the lead said extremely excitedly.

This young man is no one else, but Wu Gong who parted with Wang Gui in July last year! And the people behind him are not savages, but naval soldiers of the Song Dynasty!

"When we get to the beach, we can go back again! But our ship can't be found!" said a person next to us.

All of them are over 20 years old and are elites in the army.

"There are no ships, we can rebuild them! In fact, if we go south along the land, we will definitely be able to return to our hometown!" Wu Gong laughed.

"General, we have been wandering around this land for the past six months. Although we have explored many places, we have not gained much! The place in front of us is extremely empty and has a lot of products, but it is too cold and not very suitable for living! General, I want to go to the sea to see it again, maybe I can find some big islands!" said a young man with a dusty face next to him.

"I don't know what else is east of the sea? The last time we arrived at Kuye Island, we should have continued to go east!" Wu Gongshen agreed and said.

Wu Gong stood by the sea and looked into the distance. Although it was already April, it was still very cold here! They had been walking for more than half a year and had made maps, but the map was also very simple. After all, they were soldiers, not special cartographers!

"General, let's go into the sea and take a look!" a soldier smiled.

"Okay!" Wu Gong thought for a long time before he spoke suddenly.

He is a person who is born to like adventure. In his opinion, his experience in the past six months is much more interesting than his experience in Guanshan and Central Plains for many years! He even feels that wealth and wealth are not as good as adventure!

"Let's make a few small boats and then go forward into the sea! We are all naval soldiers. We have lived on the sea for so long, even if it's a small boat, we can go forward!" Wu Gong laughed.

The soldiers next to them also laughed together.

"But we have been missing for so long, the Navy will definitely look for us. We will send people back to report to the Military Department! Also, we have killed many tigers and big bears in the past six months. These white tiger skins and white bear skins are the most complete. They are gifts to Your Majesty, and we will also send them back together! We also want to tell Your Majesty that we have discovered the endless mountains and rivers in the north!" Wu Gong said.

The soldiers around him nodded, and everyone had an expression of excitement on their faces.

They are all young men in their twenties and are interested in adventures. Now Wu Gong has decided to continue to go east into the sea, so naturally everyone is excited.

Early the next morning, they began to make ships. Ten days later, more than 2,000 soldiers headed east one after another, and only more than a hundred were heading south, preparing to tell the Navy headquarters about the news here.

Wu Gong set out in the morning and came to a small island at noon. There was a strange bird on this island. These birds were extremely large in size, with very short wings and distinct black and white bodies! Wu Gong drew the bird on a diary. Along the way, he recorded diaries almost every day. He felt that he could show it to his relatives and friends after he went back, which was also a rare and precious memory.

In fact, this bird is the Arctic penguin! In later generations, this Arctic penguin had long been extinct, and now this kind of bird is still spread throughout the Arctic.

They continued to set off in the afternoon, and a cold wind blew in the north late at night!

The next morning, they actually saw the glaciers on the sea, and the soldiers stood on the boat and cheered loudly.

At noon that day, the boat landed again. Wu Gong thought he had come to another big island, but he didn't know that this was where the North American continent was later! They passed through the Bering Strait, which was only 80 kilometers wide, and came from the Asian continent to the North American continent. The front was Alaska.
Chapter completed!
