Chapter 361: Raiders of Annan

Annan was also called Jiaozhi in this era, but it was not Vietnam anyway. During the Yongle period of Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch of the Chen Dynasty in Vietnam was usurped by the relative Hu Jimao. The Ming Dynasty in China overthrew the Hu regime at the request of the Chen Dynasty's remaining ministers. The Ming army occupied Vietnam with the opportunity, established counties, and established Jiaozhi Chengxuan's political envoy, and carried out direct rule again, that is, "Annan belongs to the Ming Dynasty". However, a few years after Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, the Lili Donglan Mountain Uprising expelled the Ming army from Vietnam, but after promising to maintain the vassal relationship with the Ming Dynasty, independence was restored and the Later Li Dynasty was established.&1t;/p>

In 1471, the later Li Dynasty destroyed the Champa Kingdom and its territory gradually expanded southward. In 1527, Mo Dengyong usurped the Later Li Dynasty and established the Mo Dynasty. After 1531, the Li Dynasty was restored with the support of Zheng and Ruan families, and occupied the south, confronting the Mo Dynasty, and Vietnam began to enter a period of North-South division for more than 20 years.&1t;/p>

In 1592, the Later Li Dynasty destroyed the Mo Dynasty, and Vietnam was split again. The north was controlled by the Zheng family and the south was controlled by the Ruan family. The two major families continued to fight, which was known in history as the "Zheng Ruan dispute". The nominal communist, the Later Li Dynasty emperor, was completely a puppet and was under the control of the Zheng family.&1t;/p>

In order to maintain economic stability, the Ruan family in the south restricted the import of Ming Dynasty goods, which was also an unscrupulous move.&1t;/p>

Because a large number of imported goods have a huge impact on the handicraft industry in Annan, a large number of handicraftsmen have been unemployed and flowed to the Khmer Saigon region.&1t;/p>

The southern Annan area controlled by the Nguyen family does not include Saigon. The territory of Annan in this era is smaller than that of later generations because they have not occupied the Mekong Delta belonging to the Khmer.&1t;/p>

Khmer in this era is relatively weak. If Annan wants to occupy the Mekong Delta, there is obviously no way for the Khmer to do so. In any case, a large amount of resources have not been opened yet, and it will not shake the rule if it is divided into a piece of land, so in general, the land will be cedeed in vain.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming Dynasty's military forces have intervened in the Indochina Peninsula, began to station troops in the Khmer, and included the Khmer as a protector. This means that the Khmer has become the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can bully this younger brother. Therefore, the Annan people have no possibility of occupying the Mekong Delta.&1t;/p>

However, refugees continue to enter the Mekong Delta, which is welcomed by Ming capital because it requires more people to open those rice fields.&1t;/p>

In order to curb the continued economic decline and ensure the work of handicraftsmen, the Ruan family officially announced restrictions on the import of goods in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

When the Zheng family in the north saw it, they immediately followed suit. The influx of goods from the Ming Dynasty was quite powerful, which also had a great impact on the rural natural economy in the north and south of An. It led to the explosion of peasant uprisings. Seeing that the Ruan family restricted the import of goods from the Ming Dynasty, the Zheng family naturally followed suit.&1t;/p>

After learning the news, Gao Bangzuo, the commander-in-chief of the Nanyang Military Region, immediately put pressure on Annan, demanding that the Nong family in Annan, North and South, and the Zheng family immediately stop restricting the Ming Dynasty's commodity prices and completely open the Annan market.&1t;/p>

The Ruan family and the Zheng family were unwilling to submit easily, refuting the request of the envoy of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Gao Bangzuo came to Nanyang to serve as the commander-in-chief of the military region. The first thing he wanted to protect was the Ming Dynasty's colonial and commercial interests in the Nanyang and Indochina Peninsula.&1t;/p>

The actions of the two families of Annan and South have seriously threatened the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Annan. Seeing that Annan is tough, Gao Bangzuo relies on the relatively strong natural danger and looks a little fearless.&1t;/p>

Gao Bangzuo immediately submitted a report to the court and suggested to the army in Annan to ensure the authority of the Ming Dynasty in the Indochina Peninsula.&1t;/p>

The memorial arrived in the court, which caused heated debate among the ministers. Some ministers believed that Gao Bangzuo's memorial was desirable and should teach Annan a lesson.&1t;/p>

Some ministers believe that the Ming Dynasty has just completed a round of great expansion, and it is time to digest the fruits of victory, so how can we continue to provoke war?&1t;/p>

"Annan has been my Chinese territory since ancient times. During the reign of Chengzu, Jiaozhi was also ruled by the Ming Dynasty. Now the Li Dynasty is in name only and there is no end to the melee between Annan and the south. Our Ming Dynasty has the obligation to reorganize Annan and let the people of Annan live a peaceful life." Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne and said righteously.&1t;/p>

"The emperor is wise. The people of Annan are in dire straits now, and we need our Ming Dynasty to re-govern the entire Annan area."&1t;/p>

"Report to Your Majesty, if you want to reopen the Jiaozhi Administration Commission, you must send honest officials and strictly prohibit oppressing the people of Annan. Otherwise, you will repeat the same mistakes and lead to rebellion."&1t;/p>

As soon as Zhu Youxiao spoke, the court officials knew that the emperor was going to take action against Annan. It just so happened that the commander did not give any clear combat goals in the eighth year of the Tianqi period. Many military resources were idle, which was just used to teach Annan a lesson.&1t;/p>

Some people agree, some people suggest, but some people object.&1t;/p>

Now the court's finances have been greatly improved, and its military power is strong, so it is common to fight wars. Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, a new army has been established, and foreign wars have never failed.&1t;/p>

"If you directly occupy Annan, it would be too hasty. It would be better to control Annan first, retain its administrative system, and reopen the Jiaozhi Administrator's Office, and then mention it later." Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said that if you want to directly capture the entire Vietnam, you need a little more manpower and material resources. After all, killing the rulers of Annan directly, the resistance you face must be relatively fierce.&1t;/p>

It is better to use warm water to boil a frog, first use force to force the two families of Annan, Nan and North to surrender, become puppets of the Ming Dynasty rule Annan, and then retain some of the interests for them, so that they can give up their complete resistance when there is still a way out.&1t;/p>

In this way, as time goes by, the Ming Dynasty's control over Annan will become stronger and stronger. Annan under the puppet regime will inevitably lead to serious social problems in Annan due to the progress of commercial colonization, which will naturally be unpopular.&1t;/p>

When it reaches a certain level, you can kick these puppets away with one kick, and the Ming Dynasty will directly rule Annan.&1t;/p>

After all, it is still the problem of capital expansion. If there is no need for capital expansion, Annan will naturally not care about them if he wants to play with mud.&1t;/p>

However, the Ming Dynasty has embarked on the road of capital expansion, and capital is constantly expanding outward. State-owned capital needs to constantly find new markets and continuously strengthen its own capital. Once Annan's political system hinders the state-owned capital consortium's acquisition of external interests, it will naturally be overturned.&1t;/p>

Gao Bangzuo's memorial to propose military sanctions on Annan was passed, and Zhu Youxiao immediately issued an order to Gao Bangzuo to act according to the opportunity and make sure to handle Annan.&1t;/p>
