The winter in Annan Kingdom is still warm, and the sea breeze has dispersed the strong blood energy. The head of the Zheng family, Zheng Jie, the king of the Qing capital of the Li Dynasty, led the generals and walked proudly at the head of the dilapidated Guangping city.
Guangping is full of mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This city is a fortified city and was once Zheng Zhi’s nightmare.
Around Guangping City, the Zheng family in the north and the Ruan family in the south fought three large-scale wars.
Especially in the third battle between Zheng and Ruan four years ago, Zheng Zhi personally led an army of 100,000 people and invited the red-haired barbarians to help in the battle. He was determined to defeat the Ruan family in one fell swoop and unify Annan. Unexpectedly, the Ruan family also invited the Francois.
Help, a large number of artillery was deployed at the top of Gaoping City.
Zheng Zhi personally risked his life and fought bravely. After conquering the first line of defense of the Ruan army, he could not break through the second line. Twenty thousand heroic souls died at the foot of Guangping City. He could only look at the city and sigh, and returned without success.
Now, this mighty city in the world has finally been conquered by me.
A few months ago, the Nguyen ruler Ruan Fulan was so greedy for profit that he raised an army of 80,000 to conquer the Champa State. Only 50,000 troops were left to defend the Zheng-Nguyen border in the north.
Zheng Jie learned this information and received an invitation from Zhu Hengjia to attack the Ruan family together. He felt that this was a good opportunity to attack the Ruan family in one fell swoop and unify Annan.
So while Zheng Zhi secretly mobilized troops to the Zheng-Ruan border, he also let the news out, saying that he was old and seriously ill and would die soon.
When Ruan Lord Ruan Fulan heard that Zheng Jie was seriously ill, he laughed loudly and shouted: "God help me!" Then he no longer took the defense of Zheng Ruan border seriously.
Zheng Jie secretly came to the Zheng-Nguyen border. This time he mobilized all the troops from across the country and led 130,000 infantrymen to attack Quang Binh. He also ordered his grandson Zheng Dong to lead a naval division of 20,000 people and attack Hue, the capital of the Nguyen Dynasty.
In order to successfully capture Guangping, Zheng Zhi had secretly recruited people from the Junong (branch of Zhuang), Mong, Hmong (branch of Miao) and other ethnic minorities living in the mountainous areas as early as two years ago.
Five thousand mountain combat troops are called mountain camps.
These mountain camp warriors wore light leather armor or rattan armor, and carried short axes, light crossbows, iron hooks, and long ropes on their backs. When encountering a cliff blocking the road, they would use iron hooks tied with long ropes to hook the trees on the other side.
Climb along the rope. Climbing the mountain is like walking on flat ground, which is very impressive.
"General Pu Pu stays behind," Zheng Zhi called to the mountain camp general who was ready to go, Pu Zhong.
仡Pu, one of the twelve surnames of the Miao people. 仡Pu Zhong is the first warrior of the Annan Miao people. He is extremely powerful and can tear apart tigers and leopards with his hands.
Seeing that Zheng Jie asked him to stay, Puzhong thought that Zheng Jie wanted to mobilize before fighting against him, so he immediately stood tall and stood tall, waiting for Zheng Jie's lecture.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi actually bent down and bowed deeply to Pu Zhong: "General, please come back alive!"
A burst of hot tears welled up in Pu Zhong's eyes. He held it back with all his strength and led his army towards the cliff.
Pu Zhong said to his subordinates: "The King of Qingdu is so benevolent and righteous, and we can only repay him with death!"
At the time of Chou, when the Ruan army was sleeping the deepest, the fourth Zheng-Nuan war started.
Zheng Kai, Zheng Jie's younger brother, commanded thirty red Yi cannons and more than 200 Annan native cannons purchased from the red Yi people to attack the Ruan army in Guangping.
Zheng Zha, the most talented and strategic monarch in the history of the Zheng family, showed the qualities that a famous general should have at this time. As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, he immediately led the vanguard to attack the Ruan army.
Zheng Gen, an outstanding general of the sixth generation of the Zheng family, fiercely attacked the Ruan army on the left wing.
General Ding Wen left and attacked along the right wing.
Soon, the Zheng Army broke through the two lines of defense of the Ruan Army. The Ruan Army reacted and relied on natural dangers to defend the third line of defense. The Zheng Army fiercely attacked the third line of defense for ten days, suffering heavy casualties, but could not advance even an inch.<
/p>
"Why hasn't General Pu Pu made any movement yet?" Under the banner of the Chinese army, Zheng Jie looked at the mountain peaks and waited anxiously.
Pu Zhong's mountain camp climbed over many cliffs and appeared behind Ruan Jun.
After two flanking attacks, the Nguyen army was defeated and Quang Binh fell.
??
"What? The Zheng family captured Guangping Mansion and are attacking Guangzhi Mansion?"
Upon hearing the news, Ruan Lord Ruan Fulan felt as if he was struck by lightning: "Zheng Jie, this old fox, I have been fooled by him!"
Soon, Ruan Fulan calmed down.
He ordered the army that attacked Champa State to return immediately. Considering that the mountain road was rugged and the land route was too slow, Ruan Fulan ordered the army to return by sea, and ordered the navy to return and escort, leaving only 10,000 troops to defend the Ruan-Champa border.
This order was issued in time, because Zheng's navy arrived soon.
Zheng Dong led a navy of 20,000 people and appeared in the waters near Hue Port. Like the Nguyen family, the Zheng family navy also had foreign aid. Three 700-material (one material is approximately equal to 0.325 tons) red-haired plywood sailing ships appeared in Zhengzhou.
In the navy of Shishi.
The seventeenth century was the Age of Discovery, and all countries were developing navies. At this time, the Dutch were temporarily ahead in shipbuilding technology. Their sailboats were designed with double-layer wooden planks, which made them more stable and could carry heavier guns. They were called plywood sailboats. The main force of Nguyen's navy has been transferred to attack Champa, and there are only 10,000 naval forces in Hue Port.
Ten thousand versus twenty thousand, and the other side had red-haired Yi people to help them, and the Ruan navy was defeated.
Zheng's army landed at Hue Port and harassed Hue City, the capital of the Nguyen clan.
Ruan Fulan became furious and ordered all men over the age of fourteen to be recruited to defend the city.
After a stalemate for several days, he suddenly heard that the Nguyen family's army was returning by boat. Zheng Dong ordered the burning of Hue Port, returned to Quang Tri Mansion, and joined forces with Zheng Jie.
The returning Ruan army did not take time to rest and quickly reinforced Quang Tri Mansion.
Zheng and Nguyen's armies faced off in the central area of Quang Tri Prefecture.

In the ancient Daluo area of the Champa Kingdom, Sima Xuansheng, the capital of Xing'an Water Camp, anxiously asked Guilin General Feng Anping: "Commander, the main force of the Ruan family has withdrawn. There are only 10,000 Ruan troops in the Huaxing and Nanfan states. Why are we
Aren’t you going to attack yet?”
"Yes, Commander, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come back again!" Hepu Navy garrison Xu Guixiang could not hold back his anger.
Ma Xuansheng and Xu Guixiang were pirates of the fourth surname who had just surrendered to Zhu Hengjia. They had recently joined and were eager to make meritorious deeds.
Feng Anping said calmly: "Don't worry, wait a while. Our army only has four thousand infantry and less than five thousand navy. With such a small force, it is easy to capture Huaying but difficult to defend Huaying. When I came here, the supervisor said to me
, is about to go to war with the Qing Dynasty, and there will be no reinforcements sent to Ercao in a short period of time. Ercao must use the minimum cost to obtain the maximum results."
"Commander, how to achieve the greatest results at the least cost?"
Feng Anping smiled slightly: "You don't have to be impatient, I have a plan."
??
Bintong Dragon City, Champa Palace.
Pochi, the king of Champa, heard that Feng Anping, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's aid-occupation army, wanted to see him, so he hurriedly met him.
"God be with you! Thank you, our respected general, for traveling thousands of miles to come to our country and help us drive away the damn Annan people."
"Dear King Po Chi, now that the Zheng family is attacking the Ruan people and the Ruan family's army is returning to support, the border is empty. Don't you think this is a good time for your country to regain its lost territory?" Feng Anping said with a smile.
"Recover the lost territory? What does the general mean??" Boqi's eyes lit up.
Feng Anping held his head high and said loudly: "The Ming Dynasty is willing to join hands with your country to defeat the Ruan family. Our army will attack Huayingying, and your army will attack Nanfan Kingdom. After victory, Huayingng will return to our country, and Nanfan Kingdom will return to Champaign. Your Majesty's will
How about next?"
The Huaying Kingdom and the Nanbian Kingdom used to be the territory of the Champa Kingdom. In 1471, Li Shengzong of Annan State attacked the Champa Kingdom and occupied half of the Champa Territory. The other half of the Champa Territory was divided into three parts, which were called: Huayingying,
Nanpan State, Champa State. Later, the Annamites continued to expand and annexed Hua Yingying and Nanpan State. The current territory of Champa State is less than one-third of its previous size.
As soon as Poqi heard that there was a chance to regain some of the lost territory, he immediately agreed to Feng Anping's suggestion. The two sides agreed on a time to attack the Ruan army at the same time.
The first thing Feng Anping did after returning to the military camp was to find Xu Guixiang.
"Commander, what military orders are there for the future?"
Feng Anping laughed evilly: "You have been in Champa for a long time and know many people. Find a way to reveal the news to Ruan Jun that the Champa people are about to attack Nanpan Kingdom."
After hearing the news that the Champa people were preparing to attack the Nanpan Kingdom, the general of the Nguyen Army's remaining troops was dubious. He asked the Nanpan defenders to prepare for battle, and at the same time asked the Chinese and British defenders to prepare to rush to the aid of the Nanpan Kingdom. When the day agreed upon for the attack arrived, 20,000 Champa troops and 5,000 Menon, Ma, and La allied forces launched an attack on the Nanbian Kingdom. Feng Anping ordered the Ming army to attack two days later.
Seeing the fierce offensive of the occupying army, General Ruan Army quickly mobilized 3,000 Hua Ying garrison troops to rescue the Nanpan Kingdom. There were only 2,000 Hua Ying garrison troops left.
Feng Anping then ordered to advance by sea and land to attack Huayingying.
In less than three days, the Ming army captured Huaying.

"Supervising the country, Andre, the Franco envoy, wants to see you." Sun Jinding, the Grand Scholar of Dongge and the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, reported to Zhu Hengjia. The Ming Dynasty had never had an agency specifically responsible for diplomacy. When vassal states came to the DPRK, they always notified the Ministry of Rites first. , the Ministry of Rites will then notify Honglu Temple to handle it.
"Oh, did he say something?"
"It seems that I came here about the Ruan family in Annan."
Zhu Hengjia understood. Now the Portuguese were in a very bad situation. In the past, the Portuguese controlled Malacca and monopolized the trade with the Ming Dynasty. They could be said to be rich. In 1641, the Dutch captured Malacca and killed the Portuguese governor; and then They also captured the Portuguese colony of Ceylon (Sri Lanka). The Portuguese were having a hard time, so they supported the Annan Nguyen clan to deal with the Dutch. Zhu Hengjia's crusade against the Nguyen clan, to some extent, harmed the interests of the Portuguese. The Portuguese could not hold back. , here to negotiate.
"Announce him to come in!"
"His Royal Highness the Great Supervisor, the King of Kings in the East. I bring you the greetings from His Majesty King João IV of Portugal. May the friendship between the two countries last forever." As soon as Andre saw Zhu Hengjia, he shouted Ecstasy soup.
Zhu Hengjia nodded. He knew that João IV was quite capable. He led Portugal to win the Restoration War against Spain. He was nicknamed the Restorer.
"Thank you for your hard work, envoy. I also hope that the relationship between the two countries can coexist peacefully."
After a conversation, Andre explained his purpose of coming and hoped to be the coordinator to coordinate the negotiations between the Ruan family and the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hengjia smiled secretly, and when he came to take a nap, someone would give him a pillow.
He was about to fight the Qing army, and he also wanted to end the war with the Ruan family of Annan as soon as possible.
The talks between China, Portugal, Nguyen and Champaign were held in the Bintong Long area of Champa.
Under the mediation of the Portuguese, on January 6, the 20th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, the "China-Ruan Peace Treaty", "China-Occupy Peace Treaty", and "Ruan-Zhan Peace Treaty" were reached. It stipulated that the Ruan family would return the Nanpan Kingdom to the Zhan City State; ceded China and Britain to the Ming Dynasty. The Champa State provided 50,000 taels of silver military expenses for the Ming Dynasty's British garrison in China every year; the Ming Dynasty was responsible for protecting the Champa State from being invaded by hostile forces.
Zhu Hengjia ordered that Huayingying be changed into Huaying Prefecture, with prefects, co-prefects, magistrates and other posts under the jurisdiction of Annan Province. He also built a military port in the Suihe area of Huayingying. Feng Anping was promoted to Huaying deputy general; Ma Xuan was promoted to Huaying deputy general. The Ying Navy guerrillas; promoted Xu Guixiang to the Huaying Navy Commander.
The Sino-Nguyen War is over, but the Zheng-Nguyen War is still going on. They are fighting fiercely in the central area of Quang Tri Prefecture.
Zhu Hengjia secretly smiled, his southern border was finally safe.
