Chapter 210 Annan Monkey! Dare to be called Emperor of Dayue!?

In the past few years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the speed of wars in various places has been too fast, and the opportunities for military merits are getting fewer and fewer.

Especially in the Japanese area, they deal with some monkey-like Japanese pirates. They are embarrassing to lose, and there is no contribution to winning. Lan Yu has been staying enough.

Therefore, after Guo Zixing and Mao Gui and others led Goryeo and Jurchen soldiers to Japan, Lan Yu immediately ran away.

"Your Highness, I have heard that the Sultan of India is very rampant! This time I will definitely give him some good looks to let him know what the martial virtues of the Ming Dynasty..."

Lan Yu said confidently.

However, he was interrupted by Zhu Han halfway through his words.

"No need to consider the Delhi Sultanate in India for the time being. There is a guy who is not open in front of me. I need to let him experience what the martial virtues of my Ming Dynasty are!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

"Where is Your Highness talking about?" Lan Yu suddenly felt energetic when he heard this.

The Ming Dynasty is now at its peak, and even the Mongols have been driven to Mobei to eat sand. According to the news that Lan Yu heard, in another year or two, the Mongols will not even be able to eat sand in Mobei.

Lan Yu really couldn't imagine that some eye-opener guy came to die?

"Not far away, we are closest to Annan Kingdom!" Zhu Han said.

"Annan? Isn't that a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty?"

Lan Yu has lived a good life in Japan in recent years. She has read a lot of current affairs books in her spare time. She has a rough understanding of the geography and humanities around the Ming Dynasty.

"When Annan wanted to be a dog for me, Daming, he called himself a vassal state. When he became arrogant, he called himself the Emperor of Dayue!" Zhu Han said with a sneer.

Lan Yu quickly asked what the situation was, and Zhu Han then explained it in detail to him.

It turned out that it was precisely because of the strong rise of the Ming Dynasty that the Chen Chao in Vietnam felt great pressure.

From the Qin Dynasty in history, as long as it was a unified dynasty, almost always interested in Vietnam, a land with a strong Chinese cultural atmosphere, and even incorporated the northern region into the rule of the Central Plains dynasty several times.

Now the Ming Dynasty is full of momentum, sweeping the Mongols back to the northern part of the desert in one breath. The Chen Dynasty in Vietnam is afraid that the Ming Dynasty will turn around and destroy Vietnam.

So under this mentality, Emperor Chen Wang of Vietnam, sent someone to secretly contact Chen Youliang in the southwest, hoping that the Annan people would act in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the name of doing business and tribute, and provide information for Chen Youliang to make the southern border of the Ming army uneasy, so that they would not attack Vietnam.

Chen Youliang, who is entrenched in the southwest, is also worried about his situation and is naturally happy to accept this allie who takes the initiative to come to his door.

Chen Youliang and Chen Wang secretly became allies.

I want to deal a heavy blow to the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty at the right time.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty's spies had already used the Qihai Trading Company to deploy many intelligence networks in the world.

The actions of Vietnamese Emperor Chen Wang were soon found by the Ming Dynasty's spies.

After learning that his situation was exposed, Emperor Chen Wang of Dayue was not afraid of the Ming Dynasty's revenge, but instead directly tore off his disguised face and openly called himself the Emperor of Dayue, ordering the expulsion of Ming merchants and envoys from Shenglong City and other places, and even the slightest resistance was killed by the Vietnamese.

After hearing this, Lan Yu was furious.

"Damn, I thought it was somehow powerful. Annan, a small country with a big booster, dared to disobey the Ming Dynasty. Your Highness said how to destroy him, Lan Yu would definitely not hesitate!"

"Annan has a large population and rivers and rainforests, it is really not easy to completely wipe out him. It is easy to waste too much time and it is easy to miss the direction of the wind to travel to India. Therefore, this battle is to hit the snake and beat the arrogant Vietnam with one stick, and then send officials and troops from the court to slowly educate him!" Zhu Han said calmly.

According to the land area, the Annan area is not too large.

But the distance between the north and the south is very narrow and long, and it still takes a lot of time to conquer it a little bit.

Moreover, Annan has another advantage, that is, the local population is large.

Even the entire Guangnan Province area is equivalent to that of the Ming army, even if they want to be chopped by a person, it will take a long time to cut it.

Zhu Han planned to fight quickly and decide quickly, and the army commanding the Ming Dynasty directly attacked Shenglong City, the capital of Annan. It would be best to capture Vietnamese Emperor Chen Wang alive, turn Vietnam's Chen Dynasty into a puppet of the Ming Dynasty, and then slowly assimilate it with force and economy.

"The Annan place has been educated by the Central Plains. They still have a lot of recognition of the Annan brand. Many people respect and patriotism. Therefore, in this battle, it is necessary to attack the Annan capital Shenglong City, and not to give the supporters of Annan in various places a chance to rescue!" Zhu Han said slowly.

I have to say that Vietnam has absorbed and utilized some of the essences of Central Plains culture very well.

For example, loyalty to the emperor was promoted by Vietnamese monarchs.

The Ming Dynasty in history once slapped the Vietnamese regime during the Yongle period, but later, due to the problems of its own rule and the national conditions of the local Vietnamese, the Ming army had to withdraw.

The Ming army's abandonment of Vietnam cannot be said to be a military defeat. After all, the Ming army cut melons and vegetables in several battles in Vietnam.

According to Vietnamese historical records, the Ming army killed the Vietnamese army into a river, and ordinary Vietnamese people were also pressed to the ground by the Ming army to borrow heads. In addition, a large number of women were robbed back to the Ming Dynasty, and tens of thousands of boys were castrated into eunuchs and used hard labor.

The Ming army's killing methods were ruthless, but they still did not completely scare the Vietnamese who had accepted the Central Plains culture. Only by cutting off the spiritual roots of the Vietnamese can they surrender to the Ming Dynasty with peace of mind.

"Pull out Shenglong Mansion!"

"Kill all the officials and scholars there who are unwilling to cooperate!"

"Then stop the Ming Dynasty's warships and merchant ships to all the ports in Annan and conquer them completely with swords and money!"

Zhu Han’s plan is a standard conquest and another civilized route.

Although Vietnam is the secondary civilization of Central Plains culture, it also has strong autonomy. The longer the time is, the more troublesome it will be to solve it.

...

Annan, Shenglong.

Emperor Chen Wang of Dayue sat in his Dayue Palace.

Around them, several Vietnamese officials wearing imitation of the Central Plains official uniforms were reciting memorials.

Many of these memorials were submitted by officials of the Chen Dynasty and local tyrants.

What they said was all about trying to persuade Chen Wang to give up being an enemy of the Ming Dynasty and continue to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Ming Dynasty, which could bring the Mongols back to the north of Mo, was so powerful that our little Annan could fight against such a powerful Ming Dynasty?

Chen Wang was immediately impatient when he heard it, and he slapped the table in front of him.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, a precious Ming Jingdezhen ceramic tea cup on the table fell to the ground.

"Don't read it again!"

"These people don't understand my good intentions at all!"

"Northerns have always been very ambitious. As long as they dominate the family, there is no one who can covet the richer land of my country!"

"How could the Ming Kingdom be so strong? How could it be that it was not guarded?"

"After all, these people without courage are afraid of the Ming army!"

"But I am not afraid! The Mongols were even more arrogant than the Ming army, and in the end they fell under the resistance of my Great Yue!"

The arrogance of Emperor Chen Wang of Dayue was definitely not just because he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.

In fact, Vietnam really has its own unique military advantage.

The weapons commonly used in the north, such as crossbows and gunpowder, will basically lose their original power during the wet and rainy seasons in Vietnam.

The large amount of fish float glue used on the crossbow will relax in a humid environment, making the shots appear soft and weak.

In addition, the rainforests everywhere make it often difficult for large ships above the Central Plains dynasty to pass through.

As for the gunpowder that shined in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty, it was even more unbearable in humid environments.

Chen Wang felt that he should have so many geographical advantages. Even if the Ming army disliked him, he would not be able to attack Vietnam without preparing for three or five years.

During the three or five years, you only need to work with Chen Youliang to mess up the borders of the Ming Dynasty, so that your Dayue Dynasty can be forever.

Even if the Ming army was exhausted from the war, it might give Chen Wang the opportunity to lead the Great Vietnam to capture Guangxi!

Chen Wang was immersed in his dream of carrying forward the Great Yue Dynasty, without realizing that a crisis was coming from the sea.

All the military defenses of Annan Kingdom are located at the intersection of Guangnan West Road in the north.

As for the long coastline, the Great Vietnamese army set up many obstacles to prevent ships from docking, and a large number of Great Vietnamese troops were stationed in a few ports. As long as the enemy dared to enter the port, they would enter the encirclement of the Great Vietnamese army.

However, Chen Wang never thought that... the so-called encirclement set up by his Great Vietnamese army can only be used to trap Acama and Acama.

If a tiger broke into this encirclement, what would it be? He never thought about it.

...

Outside Shenglong City... On the sea to the east, the Ming Navy fleet led by Zhu Han approached the land ahead under the moonlight.

Zhu Han stood at the front of the front line, and the vanguard officer Zhang Dingbian next to him said to him.

"The Annan monkey in front has set up many antler barriers on the beach. If you want to get close to the shore, you can only enter the port."

Zhang Dingbian was the general who won over into the Ming army camp by Zhu Han.

He has always been very loyal to himself, and his talent for water battles is very high.

This time Zhu Han's trip to the West was basically Lan Yu as the general of the land war, Zhang Dingbian as the general of the water war, and Chen Baodao as the personal guard.

"There must be defense in the monkey's port." Zhu Han said lightly.

"Report to Your Highness, Annan monkeys do have some defenses here. According to the spies' rewards, more than a dozen large iron cannons seemed to have been deployed!" Zhang Dingbian said.

I have to say that although the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam was a bit arrogant, it was always very positive in its learning attitude. Whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty, many techniques were learned by them.

For example, the tactic of using artillery to control the water surface has been learned in a good way just shortly after the rise of the Ming Dynasty.
