The smoke hung blankly over Tengchong City, as if it lacked the courage to rise; the rain fell slowly and stubbornly, as if it could not even muster the energy to pour in.
Whether it's a bright day or drizzle and fog, Zhu Yongxing has embarked on a new journey. Only heavy rain can stop him a little.
Looking back at the ancient city where he had fought from a distance, Zhu Yongxing felt a lot of emotion. From the time he left Burma to Yunnan, and now it has begun to improve, he has worked hard and finally got rewards. Finally, God has paid off for his hard work!
It’s just that the future is long, and a good start is important, but the struggle in the future will still be extremely difficult and unpredictable. Obviously, the current Ming army is in good condition and seems to be more confident than itself. But when fatigue came back,
What enveloped the Ming army was more confusion and loss, right?
Various measures and this victory certainly played a big role, but in order to continue to maintain confidence and fighting spirit in the future, continuous victories must be achieved. Only by moving from one victory to another can the fragile confidence of the Ming army be consolidated and strengthened.
Only by strengthening it can the people's hope be ignited and many chieftains in Yunnan not fall to the Qing court.
Battles must be fought, but every battle must be cautious. If the Ming army is defeated again, it will have a great impact. The Qing government can afford defeat, and a few local victories cannot shake its foundation. How can it not defeat the whole country with one corner?
Working diligently is like walking on thin ice.
I hope that the Qing army in Kunming can give themselves a few months. Even these few months in the rainy season are precious. As long as they can gain a foothold in Annan, they can then enter Yunnan Province and rely on their prediction of history.
, set off a wave of resistance against the Qing Dynasty in eastern Yunnan.
However, by making such a fuss in Tengchong, he should have disrupted the process of history, or changed the history of Yunnan's partial resistance to the Qing Dynasty. Then will things in the future develop according to his expectations? Perhaps - Zhu Yongxing suddenly
I smiled in shame, if I didn't try to change the painful history, why were I bothering myself? If I wanted to find comfort, I had no choice but to go abroad and become a survivor.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yongxing dismounted, tied the horse to the shaft, lifted the curtain and got into the car. It's not that he disliked the hard work, the current carriage has no shock absorption, and sitting on it is no more uncomfortable than riding a horse. It's just that this car is his mobility
You can't go to the study room, look at documents, and write letters and orders, but you can't complete these tasks right away.
When Zhu Yongxing left Myanmar and entered Yunnan, he decided on a strategy of using Annan as the base to advance into Guangxi. As soon as he met the Zheng family for help, he asked them to send people to inquire about Annan. The Zheng family mainly sold tea to the southeastern coast of China and Southeast Asia.
The country already knew the situation in Annan. In addition to Zhu Yongxing's request, he has now sent people to establish a foothold in Annan in the name of business and continue to send back news.
However, with the continuous compilation and research of Annan-related materials, Zhu Yongxing became more and more suspicious of the original strategy. Of course, Zhu Yongxing did not have a deep understanding of the history of Annan at that time, and perhaps he was eager to get the Mengshan Ke tribe to join him.
, maybe there are some impressions. Anyway, after carefully studying the collected information, Zhu Yongxing found that the decision-making at that time was not rigorous enough, and could even be said to be a serious mistake.
From the history of Annan, after the Mo Dynasty was destroyed by the Li Dynasty in 1592, the Mo clan's power was not completely eliminated. The Mo clan gathered in Gaoping in the north to establish rule and continued to fight for the restoration of the country.
It’s not that the Li Dynasty really didn’t have the strength to destroy the Mo family in Cao Binh. It’s just that the establishment of the Mo family in Gao Binh was facilitated by the Ming Dynasty regime. The Li Dynasty surrendered. And “not rejecting Li, nor rejecting Mo” was the policy of the Ming Dynasty toward Annam at that time.
, the purpose is to restrain each other, which can be said to be a very clever method.
In 1625, the Mo family took advantage of the sharp conflict between the Li family and the Zheng family during the Hou Li regime and led his troops southward to Gia Lam. However, they were defeated by Hou Li's army and lost their base in Gaoping.
Fleeing into China, under the mediation of the Ming Dynasty, he surrendered to Hou Li, who allowed him to return to Gaoping, named him Taiwei Tongguo Gong, and paid tribute to Hou Li's court. At this point, the power of the Mo family was weakening day by day.
No longer has the strength to regain power.
In other words, Zhu Yongxing's judgment was correct. The Gaoping Mo family was already very weak and could not withstand the Ming army's attack. But that's where the problem lies. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun and Liu allied themselves to fight against Cao's army.
It was a combination of weak and weak. However, it would not take much effort for the Ming army to defeat the Mo family in Gaoping, but the enemy they had to face next was the Zheng family, who was much stronger than the Mo family.
Then let’s talk about the Zheng and Ruan families in Annan and the small country of Champa in the south, and we can have a thorough understanding of the chaos in Annan.
The Li Dynasty was revived and the Mo Dynasty was destroyed. In this process, the two generals of the Li Dynasty, Nguyen Gan and Zheng Song, played a crucial role. But when the work was completed, it was also the time when the plan was exhausted and the internal strife began to fight for power. Zheng
In order to monopolize power, Song's son Zheng Quan poisoned Nguyen Gan and sent his son Nguyen Hoang to the poor, backward and turbulent Hue.
Hue is the southern border of Annam, bordering the warlike Champa State. Zheng Jian's intention to borrow a knife to kill people was obvious, but Nguyen Huang was determined to survive, and miraculously restored stability to the area. So when Zheng planned
When the remnants of the Mo family in the north were eliminated, the Ruan family in the south had already begun to deliberately establish their own political power to compete with the Zheng family.
Nguyen Huang had this ideal from the day he was sent to Hue. He built cities and fortresses, stored weapons and food in Guangnan, and prepared to fight against Zheng. However, this behavior was also noticed by Zheng.
So under the pretext of attacking Thang Long City, the capital of the Mo Dynasty, he ordered Nguyen Huang to send troops to cooperate. After successfully defeating the enemy, Zheng became domineering and monopolized the power of the court. He also specially kept Nguyen Huang in the north and forbade him to go south again. Nguyen Huang
In 1600, he was in constant panic and finally found an opportunity to escape from Thang Long and return to Hue City. In this way, while the Mo Dynasty was still alive, Vietnam formed a more complex structure of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
In the half century since then, the Ruan and Zheng families have fought five large-scale wars. The wars lasted as long as three years and two years, and as long as eight years. And just last year, the Zheng and Ruan clans just ended a war.
This war lasted for three years. Although the Ruan family was weaker than the Zheng family in terms of strength and could only defend in previous wars, the Zheng family was unable to achieve a complete victory. The two sides were exhausted and had to use Lingjiang as the boundary for a long-term confrontation.
.
Although the Ruan family is at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Zheng family, the Champa Kingdom in the south has declined and is far from the warlike and powerful country it once was. Therefore, the Zheng family bullied the Ruan family, and the Ruan family bullied Champa. Through constant
Through encroachment and aggression, the Ruan family's territory continued to expand southward, and through this kind of bullying and fear of the strong, it gradually strengthened its own power.
Looking at it this way, Annan, no, the situation in Indochina should be more lively than the Three Kingdoms. The four regimes can play the military chess of the Four Kingdoms. If the Ming army is added to the mix, the five countries will not know what to play.
