At the end of August in the first year of Hongxing in the Ming Dynasty, Annan Kingdom, Shenglong Mansion.

The most prosperous city of Annan Kingdom has an atmosphere of prosperity and stability that has not been seen for more than a hundred years since the decline of the Later Le Dynasty. The streets of Thang Long are bustling with Annam wearing turbans, bamboo hats and long gowns.

Common people are swarming shoulder to shoulder on the streets. Most of the women among them are petite and delicate. Walking on the street, Pingting is also a beautiful sight.

Horse teams often pass by on the street. On the backs of the short and stocky Hequ horses are tall, strong, fair-skinned Shaanxi athletes. They are wearing lath iron armor made in Foshan, Guangdong. They are majestic and majestic. They have really attracted the admiring eyes of many Annan girls.

.

These are all warriors of the Ming Dynasty. It was their arrival that ended the troubled times in Annan that lasted for more than a hundred years.

Everyone in the Annan Kingdom, from King Weiqi of Li to ordinary peasants and woodcutters, would not be grateful to this highly disciplined king.

Even Lord Ruan, Lord Bao and Lord Mo among the four Annan Lords are now grateful from the bottom of their hearts to Emperor Hongxing and Prince Rinan of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty King who came this time was really not a conqueror! He was just passing by, and he also did good things by the way, ending the endless troubled times, and fairly distributed the land of Annan to one king and four lords.

And after doing good deeds, the army of King Rinan will not stay in Thang Long in the future. Now except for the two thousand cavalry who stayed in Thang Long at the invitation of King Li Weiqi of Annam (the ones who often patrol the streets), the rest of the Ming army

They all set off to station in Xin'an Mansion.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty would not annex Xin'an Prefecture. Xin'an Prefecture had been assigned to Guangnan Houfu (Ruan Lord) and became an enclave of Guangnan Hou in the north of Annan.

With this land, Lord Ruan will be able to protect King Annan Le together with Lord Zheng, Lord Mo, and Lord Bao, and become a loyal minister of Annan Kingdom!

Now Annan has become a loyal vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the four masters Zheng, Ruan, Mo and Wu have become double loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty and King Annan Li.

Everyone is loyal and courageous!

If Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Yongle or Emperor Jiajing were in charge of the Ming Dynasty now, good people and good deeds would be just as good as this. If they continue to do it, it will be messed up. King Zhu Cizhao of Rinan actually did not "conquer Annan".

In terms of strength, he just picked up a slip, and luck accounted for 80% to 90%.

And the subsequent actions he and the Ming court made were in line with the general trend of Annan's people.

Annam has been in trouble for more than a hundred years, and the overall pattern of South Nguyen and Bei Zheng has been determined. In the original history, South Nguyen and Bei Zheng were almost discouraged. In the generation of Zheng Zha's precious sons Zheng Zha and Ruan Phuc Bin,

A lasting peace could be achieved under the mediation of the Qing Dynasty, until the Southern Ruan and Bei Zheng, which had been corrupted during the hundred years of peace, were defeated by the Tay Son peasant uprising.

Now, the Ming Dynasty had only mediated the dispute between Zheng and Ruan twenty years ago, and also helped Lord Mo. The matter between Lord Bao and King Li also went smoothly, and it complied with the people in the north of Annan and South.

The population of Annan is more in the north than in the south, but its military strength is weaker in the north and stronger in the south. There are more ports in the south, and there are more contacts with the Dutch and Portuguese. There are a lot of foreign guns, cannons, and foreign generals, so there are

For a period of time, the main line of Annan's domestic political struggle was the South versus the North.

The two masters Zheng and Ruan were actually southerners from Annan, and they belonged to the Southern Dynasty in the previous dispute between the Southern and Northern Dynasties (Northern Monanli). Therefore, these two "lords" used southerners from Annan and excluded northerners from Annan.

Lords Mo and Wu are both northerners from Annan. Although their strength is small, they can still fight against the powerful Lord Zheng with the support of the northerners.

However, Zhu Cizhao supported the two masters Mo and Wu, and supported King Li, but he also went wrong and followed the wishes of the people in the north and south of Annan.

Therefore, it is now time for the external forces of the Ming Dynasty to gradually withdraw from Annam. Maybe three to two thousand people can be left in Thang Long to protect King Li, but the army must withdraw.

If we don't retreat, we will conquer Annan.

In Emperor Zhu's plan, Annan was a vassal state, not a vassal town, nor would it become a province.

However, he would not leave Annan aside and let them play with themselves. Annan still had great use.

Annan Kingdom, located in Southeast Asia, can become an important, even indispensable, outsourcer for Ming Dynasty's invasion and expansion business!

Thang Long Palace, Le Royal Palace.

This palace was left by Le Loi, the founder of the Li Dynasty. It covers a large area, but the buildings are generally short, so it does not have much of the grandeur of the palace. Moreover, since King Li has been out of power for more than a hundred years, he is unable to repair the palace.

To this day, it is naturally dilapidated.

However, as the four Annan masters sincerely repented and became loyal ministers, this dilapidated and shabby palace once again became the center of power of the Annan Kingdom.

In the main hall of the royal palace, King Le Dui Kei sits high on top of the throne. Six chairs are placed on both sides. Four loyal ministers, including Zheng Zheng, Wu Gong Pi, Mok Keng Yu and Nguyen Phuc Bin, each have a chair. Zhu Cizhao, the king of the Ming Dynasty Nan County

and Chen Zizhuang, the angel who came to confer one king and four princes on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, each also had a high position.

In addition, Shi Daxuan, the deputy envoy of the Jin'ou Yingtian of the Ming Dynasty, was also in the palace. He had no chair to sit on, only a pouf, and he sat in a grand manner. There was also a wooden basin beside him, which had nothing to do with him. It was used to catch rainwater.

It's raining outside now, but it's raining lightly inside King Li's Qinzheng Palace. What a poor man!

But the opportunity for Annan people to make money has come!

"The emperor's imperial edict has been read by the king and the four princes. This Champa country is unfaithful and unfilial and must be punished." Chen Zizhuang, who is speaking, is one of the three loyal officials in Lingnan in history!

When Beijing fell, he was idle in his hometown in Guangdong. After Zhu Cixi escorted Chongzhen to Nanjing, he went north to report. One month before the fall of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen gave him an official to assist Zhan Shifu. Before he could take up the post, Beijing returned

Li Zicheng.

After he arrived in Nanjing, the Zhanshi Mansion had been merged with the Generalissimo's Mansion of Fujun, so he did not become an associate minister. Instead, he was sent back to Guangzhou as the prefect by Zhu Cixiang.

His prefect did a good job. Although he did not receive much customs duties and commercial taxes, he mobilized many Foshan blacksmiths to go north to start their own businesses.

After Zhu Cizhong came to the throne, he was appointed as the chief envoy to Guangdong. When Zhu Cizhao entered Annan, he happened to be in Nanjing to report on his duties.

So Emperor Zhu sent him to take a trip to Annan (actually it was not too smooth) to convey the decree to the king and the four princes in Annan.

Shi Daxuan, after completing the task of occupying Chaigun, returned to Nanjing to report on his duties, and then went south with Chen Zizhuang. He also had the king's orders. There were some things that Chen Zizhuang couldn't say, so he, who was half businessman and half pirate,

It’s actually what people said.

"It's all stated in the imperial edict of the emperor," Shi Daxuan grinned. "As long as King Rinan occupies the land, population, and wealth, all of them will be distributed to the four princes of Annan according to the number of troops sent and the strength of the four!

Marquis of Guangnan, aren't there a few people there? If you send more troops this time, you can increase the population of the occupied city.

Moreover, the business has just started this time, and there will be many opportunities to make a fortune in the future! Isn’t there Nanzhang and Shuizhenla to the west? There are Luzon Islands and Borneo to the east, and your own people are fighting back and forth.

, you might as well make a fortune with the Great Tomorrow Dynasty! Right?"

Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but frown after listening to Shi Daxuan's words.

Champa, Shuizhenla, Luzon, and Borneo are all countries that are not subject to conquest, right? Doesn’t Emperor Hongxing know? Why are they all lined up for conquest?

And he even wanted to get Annan to make a fortune together! Did Emperor Hongxing really say this? Chen Zizhuang glanced at the pirate Shi Daxuan and said to himself: You are not pretending to pass on the imperial edict, are you?

"You're right! The Great Emperor wants to support us Annan people!" Li Weiqi nodded vigorously. He had to work hard to hug his thighs now!
