Zhu Yijun's discussions with the cabinet lasted for a long time, but in the end they could not reach any meaningful conclusions, so they could only make a tentative decision: everything should be decided according to the details of the previous performance, and at the same time issued a document urging the situation in Annan.

After Gao Pragmatic entered Thanh Hoa, he was not in a hurry to pacify this "Xijing", and at the same time sent troops to defeat and collect the remnants of the Zheng clan near Thanh Hoa, which was quite fruitful, and captured and surrendered 30,000 prisoners in about ten days.

Gao Shishi was not in a hurry to go south, he scattered and reorganized the 30,000 prisoners and organized a new "Imperial Cooperative Army", and at the same time sent the Mo Chao Naval Division south to observe the hydrology in various places in Yi'an - most of the important areas along the way to the south were in the coastal zone, so he planned to give full play to the advantages of the naval division, whether it was to directly transport troops from the naval division to attack the city, or to adopt the "island jumping tactics" that the US military used in the Pacific theater in World War II, that is, the "frog jumping tactics", to cross a city and fight a city, as if playing checkers, so that the Zheng army could not care about each other, this is all okay.

His tactical ability may not be very good, but he still has some consideration for this strategic level.

But at this time, an unexpected event happened that he did not expect at all, and it disrupted his plans a little.

A young woman who claims to be the princess of Nam Zhangguo suddenly arrives in Thanh Hoa with her younger brother and a group of subordinates to see him.

This woman claimed to be the daughter of King Setatila of Nanzhang, named Biajue, and her brother was named Nogukkumong, and she had come to ask the Great Tomorrow Dynasty to help her restore her kingdom.

Gao Shi was stunned for a long time when he heard the report.

Nanzhang Country?

Oh...... This should be what the Lancang Kingdom called in Daming, eh, wait, no, no, Daming should call them the Lao Military and Civilian Propaganda Division!

Well, this is the same as Mo Maoqia calling the Ming Dynasty the commander of Annan, and calling him the Emperor Dayue behind closed doors, which is not a key issue - at least not in Gao Shishi's eyes.

The key question is, the princess of Nanzhang Kingdom brought her younger brother to find herself—or to find Daming—to help their brother and sister return to the country? What kind of rhythm is this, what's wrong with Nan Zhangguo? Was it usurped, or was it destroyed?

Gao Pragmatic doesn't like to fight unprepared battles, and he doesn't know anything about Nan Zhangguo, so he doesn't plan to meet the two sisters and brothers like this, he has to figure out the situation first.

So he asked the brother and sister and their retinue to be settled first, under the pretext that he had just pacified Thanh Hoa, and there were still many things to do, and he would meet them when he was free.

Then he called Huang Zhiting, Cen Ling, and the generals of the Mo Dynasty and the Zheng family.

Zheng lost Thanh Hoa, and was captured by 30,000 prisoners, of course, there were generals. However, Gao Pragmatic currently only uses Ruan Youyi - the main general of the defense line along the river that day, one of the three pillars of the Zheng army in addition to Zheng Song himself.

Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting, the two mainland toasters in Guangxi, naturally did not know much about Laos, but Mo Yulin, Ruan Ti and Ruan Youyi all said that they understood the situation in Laos after listening to Gao Shishi's words.

This made Gao pragmatic a little surprised, and after asking, he learned that after Le Li established the Le Dynasty earlier, its fourth-generation monarch "Le Shengzong" Li Hao had launched a war against Laos.

At that time, the Annan army captured Nanzhang in one fell swoop, and Chagapa, the king of Nanzhang, fled to Nanfu. Vietnamese historical records record that "when he entered the city of Laos and obtained treasures, his king fled, captured his people, and slightly reached the border of the Changsha River, and the south of the country".

Annam's army refused to give up and went west with the intention of attacking Lanna, but it failed. Chagapa's son, Suvana Pandang established himself as king and spent a great deal of time retaking Luang Prabang and expelling the Annamite people.

Since then, however, Annan has always regarded Laos as one of the directions of his expansion, and he knows them well.

Especially when Ruan Gan and Zheng Jian raised troops to oppose Mo Dengyong, they were placed under the fence of the Laotians at the beginning, using Manghu in Laos as a base, and later took Thanh Hoa to return Manghu to others, and the two families have some old friendships.

Therefore, as a famous general of the Zheng family, Nguyen Youyi knows the inside story of Myanmar best.

Gao asked him what had happened in Laos.

Ruan Youyi surrendered after being captured, and he was not very convinced by Gao Shipra, if he asked him about Zheng Jun's reality, he might choose "Xu Shu to enter Cao's camp" without saying a word. But since I asked Laos, it didn't matter, so I talked about the situation in Laos over the years with Gao Shishi.

In the 37th year of Jiajing, the king of the Taungoo Dynasty of Burma, the White Elephant King Bo Yin Xi (known as Mang Yinglong in the Ming Dynasty), led a powerful Burmese army to conquer the Lanna capital Chiang Mai, and Lanna became a vassal of Burma.

At that time, the king of Nanzhang, Setatila, had sent an army to rescue Chiang Mai, but was driven back by the Burmese army, and for fear of being attacked by the Burmese, Setatila moved the capital to Nanghan in the 39th year of Jiajing, which is the Vientiane of later generations.

In the 44th year of Jiajing, after defeating Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai, the Burmese army did attack Nanzhang, and in January of that year, the Burmese army conquered the city of Nanghan, and Setatila fled into the mountains to put up stubborn resistance.

Unable to find the main force of the Nanzhang army, the Burmese army withdrew from Nanghan on 1 August, taking with them the brother of Setatillah, the then 18-year-old king of Luang Prabang, Ubaryu.

In the second year of Longqing, the Burmese army surrounded Ayutthaya, who rebelled again, and Setatila led troops to rescue, but was ambushed at the mouth of the Basai River and defeated back to Nanzhang. In the third year of Longqing, the Burmese army conquered Ayutthaya and Chiang Mai, and once again invaded Nanzhang on a large scale. In October, the Burmese army attacked Nanzhang from Monsan. In February of the fourth year of Longqing, the Burmese army occupied Nanghan again, and Setatila retreated into the jungle to engage in guerrilla warfare with the Burmese army, and the Burmese army had to withdraw its troops and return home.

In March of the sixth year of Longqing, King Setatila led an army to attack the Vamana Dynasty of Cambodia, but was defeated and killed. Setatila's prime minister, Sensurin, took advantage of the young age of Setatila's son and proclaimed himself king and killed the disobedient nobles.

When the Burmese king heard about it, he sent envoys to Nanzhang many times to negotiate with him, so he decided to invade Nanzhang again.

In the second year of Wanli, Mang Yinglong personally led his troops to invade Nanzhang, and Sen Sulin did not listen to the advice of the left and right and fled into the mountains. After Mang Yinglong arrived at Nanghan, he sent an army into the mountains to pursue Sensurin to no avail. In April of the third year of Wanli, Mang Yinglong decided to retire and return to Monsan. At the same time, Mang Yinglong asked four ministers to assist Setatila's brother Ubalu to guard the southern palm.

In May, the Burmese army returned and Sen Surin recaptured the city of Nanghan. In the same year, Sensulin led an army to attack Monsan, but was defeated and captured. The Burmese made Ubaryu the king of Nanzhang, who became a Burmese vassal, and Sensurin was imprisoned in Handawaddy.

In the seventh year of Wanli, due to the unpopular rule of Ubalu, the princes everywhere were dissatisfied. Setatila's daughter, Biajue, raised an army in the south, marched north from Attapeu, and conquered the city of Nanghan. Soon after, however, Burma sent troops to the aid of Ubaryu, and Biajue's revolt was suppressed and failed.

Ruan Youyi introduced this, had a little doubt, and said to Gao Shishi: "Gao pressed, the last general knows only this, but how Nabia Jue escaped after the defeat, and how her younger brother was always taken by her side, the last general is not very clear." ”

Gao Shishi muttered: "I haven't seen her sister and brother yet, but this Bia Jue himself said that she brought the Great Seal of Consolation to Laos from the Ming Dynasty - this should not be fake." ”

Ruan Youyi's eyes rolled and asked, "Do you want to help Nanzhang restore the country?" ”

It's no wonder that he has this question, Daming does like to help people "rise and fall", especially the country in the mountains in Laos is very active in paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also very honest, and he has never run to pick up Daming's tiger whiskers.

However, when he asked, Gao Pragmatic knew that he must have ulterior motives.

I'm dizzy by the information on the history of Southeast Asia, especially the names of places and people with various twists, and I'm sorry for the late chapter.
