Lu Ming

Seeing that the number of ex-dynasties "to be dealt with" outside the palace gradually decreased, the next moment, after the prince winked, he kept silent.

On the side, a thin old man who had been prepared for a long time, Li Sun, an important minister of the Northern Dynasty, who was the official of the Grand Sima, stood up, took out a stack of Houli Dynasty imperial edicts that had been prepared, and began to call people in to read out.

From the moment Li Sima served as the readout officer, there would be no good end for those who were called into the palace to be dealt with.One by one was either exiled or beheaded, and blood began to be seen on the field.

The imperial edicts to deal with these people were all issued in the name of the ruler of the Houli Dynasty—the old thief Zheng Yi used to be a good person and promoted everyone, but now it's his turn to kill, and the blame belongs to the young ruler.

The bloody scenes are uncomfortable, so it goes faster.

Not long after, after disposing of a batch of cold dishes, finally, more than a dozen main dishes dressed in white and with their hands tied behind their backs appeared on the stage: the Ruan clan headed by Ruan Fuyuan is also the core civil and military of the South Vietnam separatist regime.

Most of these people have the surname Ruan, and even a few of the opposite sex are Ruan's in-laws and other close friends.Their names, Zheng Bing, are very familiar, and the appearance of many of them is also familiar to him, and they all belong to the kind of enemies who want to cook and eat them even in their dreams.

Finally, today the prince can clean up the grievances that have been going on for many years.

The imperial decree against the Ruan family was very short and cruel: all males were beheaded, female relatives were exiled into the army, and family property was confiscated.

What surprised the prince a little was that after reading the imperial decree, he did not see Ruan Fuyuan's reaction—whether it was cursing or begging for mercy, the ending that the prince expected did not appear on Ruan Fuyuan.

This archenemy, who was younger than him, knelt down under the stage in sackcloth, but his raised eyes were full of calm, as if the target of the extermination in the imperial decree was not himself.

"Is Zhemo scared out of his wits?"

The prince, who was a little upset, muttered to himself, then waved his hand to signal the warriors in front of the hall, dragged out the deadly enemy and beheaded him first: "It's really good at nourishing your energy! Let's see how long you can stay calm?"

"Hahaha."

Just at the moment when the atmosphere was oppressive, a long laugh came from the hall: "Your Majesty, keep people under the knife!"

Who dares to be so bold?

Dian Wenwu heard the sound and looked, and saw that the one who was making a long laugh was not someone else, but the leader Sheng Nansheng who had been watching the excitement without saying a word since he entered the hall in the morning.

After Sheng Nan spoke, Prince Zheng was a little confused for a moment, he asked in puzzlement, "Why did Mr. Sheng say that?"

"Well, it's a long story, please allow me to explain it in detail."

……

In fact, from the moment Hue City opened its doors, the short honeymoon between a certain force from Ming Dynasty and the North Vietnamese regime was considered OVER.

From then on, the fundamental goals of the two sides have begun to oppose: the new Vietnamese government wants to wipe out the remaining forces in various places in the territory, unify the country, and then consider external expansion.

The traversers want to retain and support the above-mentioned forces, so as to cause internal friction within them, and leave enough followers, leading parties, and backers for the future to overthrow and annex the country in one fell swoop.

Therefore, from now on, we must not let these blamers get assed.

Naturally, the real reason why Sheng Nan intervened in this matter cannot be stated clearly.However, since he opened his mouth about this kind of thing, Sheng Nan must have other sufficient reasons-retaining the core troops of the Ruan family and the Ruan family, and forming a coalition army, which can be regarded as "waste utilization". Bian needs to use the soldiers and horses of the Ruan family.

"No reason!"

After listening to Sheng Nan's remarks, the first to speak was Da Sima Lisun.

Li Duan is an old man, and when he heard half of what Sheng Nan said, he knew something was wrong with his heart: cutting the weeds without eradicating the roots, this is a taboo for rulers of the country.What's more, this grand man still wants to keep the Ruan family's army and horses. Isn't it obvious that he wants to raise thieves?

But Li Duan soon realized that the prince himself must not be allowed to speak about such matters.Once the prince opened his mouth, no matter whether he answered or not, it was a conclusion, and he would force himself into an extremely embarrassing position.

This is the role of the old minister.After realizing that Sheng Nan's words were not good, Li Duan waited for the other party's voice to finish, and immediately shouted loudly: "It's unreasonable! Those who rebelled were defeated by the army and mourned for the country. They should be punished by the canon to serve as a warning to others. I face the gang?"

Sheng Nan was not at all moved by Le Duan's shouting.I saw him lazily leaning on the first chair on the right, crossing his legs, and digging his ears with his little finger: "Li Sima is overreacting a bit. Don't worry, according to my plan, the Ruan clan From now on, I will stay in Dacheng and never come back, which is considered exile in disguise. I will pat everyone’s chest here, and promise that the Ruan family will not cause trouble for everyone in the future.”

Sheng Nan's plan aroused more intense reactions from the ministers present.

Immediately, a general in full armor stood up angrily.This person is Zheng Wenxiong, the former enemy general of North Vietnam.

After Zheng Wenxiong got up, he pointed at Sheng Nan from a distance, and shouted with an angry face: "Isn't this just resting with the thieves? In the future, this group of rebels will eat up the rice in Dacheng, and they will grow up and come to trouble me. Where was your surname Sheng during the dynasty?"

Hearing Zheng Wenxiong's blunt accusation, Sheng Nan's expression also changed: "This is floating!"

After a sneer, Sheng Nan stepped forward, leaning his elbows on his knees, staring at Zheng Wenxiong and asked, "Master Zheng, are the cannons that smashed through Hue City yesterday still big?"

When Sheng Nan said these words, it was like pouring a pot of cold water on the heads of the passionate Wenwu.At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered: the smiling General Sheng on the opposite side is the evil star with the fleet and cannon support behind him!

"Although there are no cannonballs right now, there are always enough cannonballs in the warehouse of the Guangzhou city government."

After saying this blatant threat, Sheng Nan ignored Zheng Wenxiong, who was speechless, and turned to look at Zheng Bing, who was sitting on the throne with an uncertain expression.

The next moment, Sheng Nan regained his smiling expression, and said to the prince easily: "Look, the problem is very simple now: since mine is big, everyone in the court probably has to bear with it."

Chapter 632 Gathering of All Powers

Master Sheng Nansheng finally managed to keep the heads of the Ruan clan from the hands of the victors by using various rhetoric techniques such as "worshipful words" and "knowing the benefits".

After that, after more than 10 days of appeasement, the chaotic city of Hue has largely returned to its previous rhythm.Human beings are forgetful, and the negative effects of war are rapidly fading away from this important town.

Time: The 10th day after Hue Kaesong.

Location: Hue Royal Palace.

In today's royal palace, there are still dignitaries of civil and military affairs gathered in the new dynasty.However, unlike the noisy market atmosphere before, because a large number of low-level officials were sent to serve in other places, coupled with the clarification of common affairs, the palace finally regained its due solemnity.

With the dignity restored, it is time to discuss some major issues.

For example, the formation of coalition forces.

Needless to say, the one who promoted this issue must be the Ming forces from outside—the Ming military representative team headed by Sheng Nan.

Today's Sheng Nan is no longer the leader of the bachelor observation group before Kaicheng.

Just three days ago, the mixed fleet from the Ming Dynasty sailed into the port of Hue.The task force consists of 5 combat ships and a large number of transport ships.Among them, the flagship "Kaiyuan" is a new type of large-scale iron-ribbed wood-hulled steam engine sail warship for the first time on a long voyage.

The Kaiyuan, which was specially built for the development of South Asia, is a symbol of the national strength of the Great Yan State, and it is the crystallization of the highest level of insisting on the industrialization route for many years.

Kaiyuan has a displacement of 3000 tons and a full load displacement of 3500 tons.Although compared to the [-]-ton oil tankers that have traveled all over the world in later generations, Kaiyuan is still a small brother in this era.

The Kai Yuan, which was specially designed for South Seas, was designed with a shallow draft line in consideration of the basic conditions of the port in this era.

At the same time, at the beginning of the design, the Kaiyuan also focused on improving the carrying capacity and self-sustaining capacity, and its payload value is very high.Of course, in this way, the armaments on board will definitely need to be reduced.The final product, such a large battleship, has only 7 cannons installed on it.

From this perspective, the Kaiyuan is actually more like a steam carrier than a warship.

Although the equipment is simple, if anyone dares to touch the tiger's butt without opening his eyes, he must die ugly.Not to mention the cruisers and frigates that are always by my side, even if the Kaiyuan is besieged in the worst case, there is still a big killer in hand-on the front deck, there is an Italian cannon.

Literally an Italian cannon.

With the growth of the actual control area of ​​the Great Yan Kingdom and the substantial increase in the army and navy, the Italian artillery installed on the wall of the Dayuan Commercial Hall has long since lost its military significance.

This time, considering that the Nanyang Fleet had to deal with a variety of complicated situations when it was alone, the military installed the Italian cannon on the deck of the Kaiyuan, and used it as a treasure to suppress the luck of Nanyang.

……

When such an important flagship as the Kaiyuan arrives in Hue, it is natural that important people and important matters will also come together.

This time, the mixed fleet not only unloaded a large amount of supplies, but also "unloaded" a full 2000 Pioneer Army combatants.

Arriving in Hue with the material personnel, there are also the commander of the pioneering army Wang Bo, the commander of the fleet Sha Zhengming, and Shao Qiang, the de facto number one figure in the South Asian wasteland reclamation team.

In addition to a few powerful figures, there are also a few traveling companions who came to Nanyang for business trips temporarily.

The arrival of several important figures and combat troops indicates that the Nanyang development plan has entered a substantive stage, and a certain force will roll up its sleeves and start working this time.

Of course, the first step is always to straighten out internal relations.

On the day the fleet arrived, after Sheng Nan boarded the Kaiyuan, Shao Qiang unpacked and read out several cabinet documents in the captain's room in front of those who traveled through the ship.

The first document: The cabinet decided to open the Nanyang Governor's Mansion immediately and appoint Shao Qiang as the first governor.The area under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is currently tentatively defined as all areas south of the 18th parallel south latitude.

The second document: Forming the Nanyang Fleet with immediate effect, the commander is Sha Zhengming.The Nanyang Fleet is under the dual leadership of the Navy and the Governor of Nanyang.

The third document: The Nanyang Pioneering Team will be formed from now on, with Wang Bo as its commander.The Nanyang Pioneering Team was under the dual leadership of the Army and the Governor of Nanyang.

After reading several important documents, everyone had a drink and congratulated the newly appointed Governor Shao.

As for Sheng Nan... This gentleman's mission of leading students and diplomacy has been successfully completed, and he has passed the organizational test.Just waiting for this matter, Mr. Sheng will return to China to take up another high position, so he will not hold a post in the newly established Nanyang Governor's Mansion.

After establishing the organizational relationship among the crossing people here, a short meeting was held on the ship soon.Next, arrange the soldiers and the fleet.Two days later, Sheng Nan formally notified the Vietnamese court as the plenipotentiary representative of the Ming Dynasty: Three days later, representatives from all walks of life were called in the palace to discuss the issue of sending troops to Siam.

The Vietnamese, who are still nominally "close comrades in arms", naturally cannot stop the fleet from entering the port.

After seeing 2000 "elite soldiers" with muskets disembarking from the boat, they knew that Mingren's waist was hardened this time, so the new owner of Hue agreed to Sheng Nan's request without even stumbling.

Three days later, all relevant parties gathered in the palace of the king.

The so-called "parties" here actually have quite a few.Don't look at Vietnam's superficial unity at the moment, but under the deliberate manipulation of a certain force, the mountain top has been preserved.

First of all, since today's meeting mainly involves diplomacy, the puppet master must be pushed out to support the scene.

Li Weiqi, the young puppet lord of the Houli Dynasty who occupied the throne high in the palace, represented the remnants of the Houli Dynasty that was about to collapse, and was equivalent to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Perhaps he got some news from some secret channel. Li Weiqi, who has long been used to being a clay statue, sat on the stage today, with a rare look in his eyes.

Under the lord of the country, there is the prince Zheng Bing sitting alone on the left, and many civil and military personnel under the prince.These people are the backbone of the new dynasty, and there is no doubt that they are the Vietnamese version of Cao Mengde's party in the seventeenth century.

After that, there is the crossing team sitting on the right hand.

The team is dominated by the bright representative Sheng Nan.

The grinning and responsive Shanda from before has disappeared.Today's Sheng Nan, with soldiers and horses in his hands, his aura became tougher and his attitude became indifferent. He was no longer the one who talked around the corner a few days ago.

In addition to these old acquaintances, next to the crossing teams was an old man in plain robes - Ruan Fuyuan.

This current situation is very similar to Liu Bei Liu Huangshu who lives under the fence.It's just that Zheng Yixiang, Prime Minister Zheng, wants to kill him now, and he won't cook wine with him and talk about heroes.

The previous scene of the Vietnam duo fighting for hegemony was the most unsuitable situation for the interests of the cross-travelers.Because all resources are mobilized to fight each other.However, the strengths of the two sides are similar, and no one will sell it. Outsiders cannot control the situation and steal benefits.

Today, Ruan Fuyuan sits here as a small hill, which is the ideal scene for the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom-the strength has been divided, no matter the winner or the loser, both sides have to provide resources to the big boss, otherwise they will face internal conflicts. The fate of the enemy being overthrown by the boss.

This routine is seen every day in the news of future generations.The big hooligans always have a government-in-exile under their hands, ready to be released at any time to bite the current regime and replace it... This is the US imperialism.

In addition to these few families, there is also a new group of forces in the temple: Zhancheng envoys.

The Champa envoy, wearing a red monk's robe, arrived in Hue only yesterday, which is why the meeting was postponed until today.

Champa is the place where Champa rice is familiar to later generations, and it is located at the southernmost tip of the map of Vietnam.

The Champa Kingdom, which believes in Brahmanism throughout the country, actually established itself as an independent country as early as the 8th century, and it was called the Champa Kingdom at that time.However, over the past few hundred years, Champa has been annexed and occupied by Vietnam.The remaining Champa has now become Vietnam's Jimi state - listen to the tune but not to the announcement.

Of course, this force that always thinks about restoring the country can also be used.

The above are the various forces that appeared in the king's palace today.Among them, the traverser faintly formed an alliance with the three weak families.

In addition, there is another important indigenous force that was not present today: the remnants of the Mo Dynasty.

History says that there are former Han and later Han.Coincidentally: since the current court in Vietnam is called the Hou Le Dynasty, there must be a former Le Dynasty.

History is like a mirror.In the middle of the Le Dynasty, like the Han Dynasty, a subversive regime also appeared: the Mo Dynasty.

The Mo Dynasty existed for a short time, and the first ruler, Mo Dengyong, like Wang Mang, also came to power by usurping the throne.Due to lack of legitimacy, the Mo Dynasty was quickly ousted by the loyal subjects of the Later Le Dynasty.

However, to this day, the remnants of Mo Chao are still entrenched in the Gaoping area at the junction of Vietnam and Daming.

what reason?He hugged Ming Chao's thigh.

During the Jiajing period, in order to consolidate the regime, Mo Dengyong, the newly usurped emperor of the Mo Dynasty, personally went to Zhennanguan in Guangxi with his ministers to ask for surrender from the Ming Dynasty.

The person asked for the seal at Zhennan Pass, with an extremely humble attitude.

You know, at this point in time, Annan has not sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years.

Seeing Mo Chao's obedience, the Ming Dynasty, who was in a happy mood, immediately issued an edict to seal Mo Dengyong as the Annan Metropolitan Envoy, Yi Cong Erpin, hereditary, and silver seal.This canonization made Annan theoretically a special zone under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

The Mo Dynasty, like the "Emperor Son", received strong support from the Ming Dynasty, but was quickly ousted from power by the enraged Annan subjects.

For the same reason, after the failure, Mo Chao also received the full protection of Da Ming.The newly established Hou Li Dynasty has always wanted to eradicate the grass and roots, but the Ming government and the opposition did not adhere to the Five Basic Principles at all, and they did not hesitate to make military threats to keep the remnants of the Mo Dynasty.

So things dragged on like this until the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Houli Dynasty was about to come to an end, and the exiled regime of the Mo Dynasty was still eating rice steadily in Gaoping.

Now that the situation of the people from all walks of life has been introduced here, Dayan Kingdom's "subversion of the basic arrangements for Vietnam in a package" has surfaced.

Chapter 633 Allied Forces

When: August 1634.

Location: Mekong Delta, outside Saigon.

The originally bustling outer market has now turned into a noisy military camp.If you look northeast from the city of Saigon from the perspective of God, you can see that on the plain covered by tropical vegetation, there is a channel with a slightly different color, which continues from the direction of Vietnam.

The next moment, with the sound of a horn horn, a large number of soldiers wearing bamboo hats, holding their iron knives high, rushed towards the opposite city in the continuous rain.

At the Hue meeting four months ago, the new court of North Vietnam finally bowed its head in front of the powerful Ming people, and experienced the sour taste of my Qing Dynasty being flattened and rounded by the great powers.

After the meeting, the great powers... the governor of Nanyang, Xingyuan, immediately opened an official residence in Hue City, and put together a grass-roots team of the coalition forces that night.

The coalition forces have 2000 Ming pioneer troops as the core combat force, and the rest of the hills include the remnants of the South Vietnamese troops, the North Vietnamese support troops, and the participating troops sent by Zhancheng Jimizhou.
