Zheng Zhi said that the Ming army in Annan only had 30,000 soldiers. In fact, it was Lao Huangli. The Ming army in Annan originally had 30,000 soldiers, including 22,000 land troops, 6,000 of whom assisted the Gaoping Mo family in guarding Taiyuan Prefecture, and 16,000 soldiers.
Thousands of troops are stationed in various places; eight thousand naval troops are stationed in Qiongzhou Prefecture and Huaying Prefecture. In addition, there are 10,000 garrison troops responsible for local security.
However, now another 20,000 soldiers have arrived.
When the Zheng family and the Ruan family of Annan State fought a big battle, the imperialist hormones in Emperor Guangwu's blood began to ferment. Opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Although military expenditures were tight, he was still determined to seize this good opportunity to expand the empire's interests in Annan. He ordered Annan Bo Yang Wu and Annan Governor Hu Zhigong to actively prepare for war. He also ordered Hu Bo Ruan Jin to lead 5,000 naval troops to escort Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi.
, the first dynasty of Ping Xibo, the general Bu Congshan sent 15,000 land troops to Yang Wu to listen to him. Zhang Mingzhen, Ruan Jin, the first dynasty of the dynasty were the old troops of Lu Jianguo, and Bu Congshan was a surrendered general. They were not direct descendants of Zhu Hengjia, and Annan was all
Shan, Zhu Hengjia was reluctant to consume too many direct descendants, so he sent them.
As soon as the cannon was fired, there were thousands of taels of gold. There is nothing more expensive than war. Soon, the treasury was empty again. Fortunately, there was 1.1 million taels of silver from the Jiexiu Fan family, otherwise Zhu Hengjia would not have known about this.
How to spend the New Year.
He instructed Yang Wu and Hu Zhigong to solve the Annan problem based on four points: first, use the Li Dynasty to order Zheng and Ruan, and use the puppet Li Shenzong Li Weiqi to control Annan; second, use the Annan people to police the Annan people and recruit more people from the south.
Annan natives serve as officials and support pro-Ming forces; third, suppress the strong and support the weak, that is, get rid of the strongest Zheng family, weaken the second strongest Ruan family, and support small forces such as the Mo family in Gaoping and the Wugong family in Xuanguang Town;
Fourth, many countries intervened to win over the Nanzhang Kingdom, which was bullied by the Zheng family, the Chenla Kingdom, which was bullied by the Ruan family, and the Champa Kingdom to jointly intervene in Annam.
The central point is: exert the least effort, spend the least money, and get the greatest benefits. Zhu Hengjia specifically told Hu Zhigong that if the Ruan family could not withstand it and asked him for help, the Ruan family must cede the two houses of Jia Lai and Kunhao.
, can send troops, otherwise, there will be no rescue.
In order to unify affairs, Yang Wu was appointed as the general of the Southern Conquest to control the various armies in Annan.
Yang Wu was overjoyed after receiving 20,000 reinforcements from Zhang Mingzhen, Ruan Jin, Chao Xian, and Bu Congshan. He ordered Zhang Mingzhen, Chao Xian, Taiyuan deputy general Huang Zhao's 15,000 land divisions, and Ruan Jin's 5,000 naval divisions to station in the northern part of Annan, and secretly ordered Gao Ping
The Mo family gathered 20,000 troops to cooperate; he himself led the generals Feng Anping, Ma Xuansheng, Bu Congshan, deputy general Wang Zhiguo, and deputy general Xu Gui to station 30,000 troops in the south of Annan. He also secretly contacted the Zhenla Kingdom, and the Champa Kingdom each sent 10,000 troops.
The two countries were both younger brothers of the Ming Dynasty and agreed to help each other.
The entire Annan Kingdom is filled with storms and storms.

"Father, the envoys sent to the Ming Dynasty have returned. Governor Hu promised to help us eradicate the Zheng family and revive the Chao Gang." In the Le Chao Palace in Thang Long Palace, Annan, Li Weiyu, the second son of Li Shenzong, Li Weiqi, excitedly said to
Report by Li Shenzong.
Li Shenzong's body trembled. For many years, the power of the Li Dynasty has been controlled by the Zheng family. The Zheng family regarded the emperor of the Li Dynasty as a plaything.
It feels like a mountain is overwhelming. Now, Li is finally about to turn over!
However, after all, Li Shenzong was an emperor who had been deposed once. He was calm and calm at every change. He quickly regained his composure and said to his son: "The more times like this, the more careful you have to be. My prince, please secretly contact the ministers who are loyal to us."
, once the Ming army enters Thang Long, they should cooperate inside and outside."
Li Weiyu said: "But Father, most of the ministers who are loyal to us are civil servants. They don't have military power in their hands. How can we act?"
"If we don't have soldiers, let them organize the domestic slaves. When the time comes, everyone from the royal family to the servants will mobilize. Now, we can only secretly contact the most loyal ministers."
"Father, son and minister understand."
"Also, you go and test the attitudes of Wu Gongpi, Wu Gongjun and his son."
"Wu Gong's clan? They were captured by Mr. Zheng Zhi of Xuanguang Town. They have no soldiers and power, so I'm afraid they won't be able to have much effect."
Li Shenzong smiled, "Wu Gong has ruled Xuanguang Town for hundreds of years, and his background is definitely deeper than it looks. I don't think Wu Gong will be willing to lose his ancestral land. Go find them. Every extra bit of strength at this time is good."
.
"Sons and ministers obey orders."

"Your Majesty, the envoy of King Suriya Wangsa of Nanzhang is not willing to go to Hajj as an official of Laos's consolation envoy, but insists on going to Hajj in the name of the envoy of Nanzhang Kingdom," Sun Kewang, the minister of the Concierge House, reported.
"Sun Qing, what do you think of this matter?"
"Your Majesty, I think that whether he is the envoy of Laos or the king of Nanzhang, as long as he is granted the title of Ming Dynasty, he is a minister of Ming Dynasty. We might as well omit his name and give him the real name."
Nanzhang Kingdom is the transliteration of the Lancang Kingdom, which used to be the Lao Xuanfu Department of the Ming Dynasty's "Three Proclamations and Six Consolations". Although it is known as one of the "Six Consolations" of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has never effectively managed it.
They have always regarded it as a vassal state.
Zhu Hengjia glanced at Sun Kewang and nodded with satisfaction. This Sun Kewang is a talented person! He opened his mouth and said the true meaning of diplomacy: "Off the name but stick to the reality."
Since we cannot actually control the Nanzhang Kingdom, we simply recognize the title of King of Nanzhang.
Therefore, Zhu Hengjia ordered the canonization of Suriya Wangsa as the king of Nanzhang.
This King Suriya Wangsa is a wise king of Laos. He inherited the throne at the age of 25 and it has been fifteen years now. During his reign, the national power of the Lancang Kingdom has been developed and the people's lives have become much richer.
.Unfortunately, the increasingly prosperous Lancang Kingdom aroused the fear of the Zheng family in Annan. Zheng sent troops to attack the Lancang Kingdom, took away the five provinces east of Luang Prabang, and forced them to surrender to the Zheng family.
Zhu Hengjia readily agreed to enthrone King Suriya Wangsa as the King of Nanzhang, which meant to win over Nanzhang and deal with the Zheng family of Annan.
Coincidentally, King Suriya Wangsa also wanted to use the Zheng-Nguyen war to restore the lost land of the Five Prefectures. The two sides hit it off immediately, and after a period of negotiations, they finally reached an agreement: Once the Ming army and the Zheng family fought, the South
The leader then sent 20,000 troops to attack the west side of the Zheng family.

"Good Lord, the Ming Dynasty insisted that we cede Gia Lai and Kun Hao provinces before sending troops to rescue Hue," the left governor Ruan Youyi said to the fourth generation monarch of Guangnan, Nguyen Phuc Bin.
On the surface, the Nguyen family of Annan still recognized the orthodox status of the Li Dynasty, and did not even call himself the king. Nguyen Phuc Bin proclaimed himself Duke of Duang, and his subordinates all called him the virtuous master.
The reason for being so humble is because Zheng is strong and Ruan is weak. In this way, the Ruan family hopes to show the Annan people that they are loyal ministers of the Li Dynasty, while the Zheng family who is the king is a traitor and traitor.
Of course, this is just the surface. Privately, the Ruan family considers themselves the King of Guangnan.
"Humph, we finally annexed the Gia Lai tribe and got Gia Lai and Kun Hao. The people of the Ming Dynasty just asked for it. It was too much to bully others. They refused to give it." Ruan Phuc was very angry.
"But the Francois refused to rescue. If the territory was not given to the Ming Dynasty, Hue City would be isolated and helpless, which would be in danger." Ruan Youyi was very worried.
Thirty-three-year-old Ruan Phuc Bin was very bloody and shouted: "My Ruan family ancestor Ruan Huang once said: 'Shunguang has the danger of Hengshan and Lingjiang in the north, and the solid sea, clouds and monuments in the south, and the mountains produce gold and iron.
, the sea is full of fish and salt, which is a real place for heroes. If we can tame the people and strengthen the soldiers to compete with the Zheng family, we can build a legacy for eternity. Even if there are no reinforcements, I don’t believe that the Zheng family can conquer the city of Hue. p>
