Chapter 677 Occupy the city

The Ming Dynasty fleet sailed into the South China Sea, which was a big shock to the countries of the South Seas, originally all the states had heard of China's wealth and power, and admired China, but after all, it was only a psychological idea, they could not see, and it was difficult to perceive, but this fleet was different as soon as it came, this is something that can really be seen, and the perception brought is absolutely different.

At the time of Chengzu, the Ming Dynasty was strong, and the Ming Dynasty often intervened in Nanyang affairs, but then the national strength weakened, and it gradually withdrew from Nanyang.

After that, although the Ming Dynasty was the suzerainty of the Nanyang States, in fact, the Nanyang States never played with the Ming Dynasty, whether they were fighting wars or negotiating peace with each other.

Why?

Because I can't ask for it! Da Ming is thousands of miles away, even if he discusses with Da Ming, he can't solve their problems, since he can't solve their problems, then what are you going to discuss with Da Ming?

Over time, when many states in Nanyang made any decisions, they would not think of the Ming Dynasty at all, nor did they care whether the decisions they made harmed the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, it is Heyi's armed merchant ships, and they are wandering around the gates of these states and countries when they have nothing to do, so that when these states are doing things, they have to think about what this buddy wandering at the door thinks, and whether to discuss with him.

In this way, the situation must be that the influence of the Heyi on the countries is greater, and the Ming Dynasty is declining.

However, at this time, as soon as the fleet of the Ming Dynasty entered the South Seas, and the scale was larger than that of Heyi, it had a psychological impact on the states.

As soon as the Ming Dynasty fleet came, the local states inevitably had to think about the ideas of the Ming Dynasty when dealing with the trade of the Ming merchants, which made the business of the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants easy to do, which was also the reason why the merchants of Guangnan and the South China Merchants tried their best to instigate the imperial court to influence the South Seas.

However, the Ming Dynasty's fleet in the South Seas, after all, is not as diligent as Heyi's, nor is it like Heyi occupying key roads in Batavia and Malacca, and ships come and go frequently, and it is not an overnight thing for the Ming Dynasty to restore its influence.

The fleet traveled along the coast and, according to the information provided by the merchants, contacted Nguyen Phuc Binh, a powerful minister of Annam, who had to fight against the Trung clan, who had to fight against the Trung clan, who were in power in the Lê dynasty, and decided to fully support the Ming dynasty in exchange for the Ming dynasty's support for the Nguyen clan to overthrow the Zheng clan.

Qian Bingrup was very dissatisfied with the Zheng clan's control of the Li Dynasty and China's neglect, so he agreed to support the Nguyen clan in controlling Annam.

The fleet stayed in Hue for a few days, and after Nguyen had supplied the fleet, it set sail again and came to Champ.

Zhancheng was Xianglin County in the Qin and Han dynasties, but at this time, the shadow of the Qin and Han dynasties was completely gone.

Champa had originally been reduced to a subordinate of Annam, but with the internal struggle of the Lê Dynasty, Nguyen-Truan, it became independent again.

Although the city is small, it has also been a small overlord of Nanyang in history, and has captured the capital of Annam, Shenglong, occupied Zhenla, and made enemies on all sides.

In order to confront the two powers and maintain its independence, Champa deliberately prevented the cultural and religious influence of the two countries, and the domestic Theravada Buddhism and Brahminas were gradually suppressed and turned to the green religion of the Malay Peninsula.

For Champa, Annam and Chenla are both threats to him, so Champa must maintain a different religious culture from the two countries, so as to ensure that when attacked by the two countries, the country will be united as one, so that the people will also fiercely resist and achieve the purpose of resisting annexation.

While estranged the two countries, Champa was also looking for new allies, but unfortunately not the Ming Dynasty, but the Malay Peninsula and the many sultans of the archipelago to the south.

In order to establish good relations with these sultans, the Cham people abandoned Theravada Buddhism and Brahmins and began to quickly green.

Through years of hard work, Champa has achieved this, and in terms of religion and culture, it is very different from Annam, and naturally it is not the same as the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Bingjian sent an envoy to occupy the city, and the situation was even more unsuccessful than when Thang Long faced the Zheng clan.

Zheng still agreed to add the four big characters of "Daming Guo" to the flag, and the entire national policy of Zhancheng is to shield the influence of the two neighboring countries, and Annan and Daming are of the same language and religion, and Zhancheng does not want to get too close to Daming, so it is okay to pay tribute, but nothing else is okay.

Qian Bingrup got the reply, he was very angry in his heart, he came out and walked for a while, for the original tribute, he already has a new view, this light tribute cheats the reward, the country has no centripetal force for the Ming Dynasty, does not listen to the orders of the suzerain, like a white-eyed wolf, so what is the use of asking him to pay tribute?

After gaining the support of the Nguyen family, Qian Bing Stirrup's confidence was greatly increased, but he ran into a wall again in Champa.

After that, the fleet moved south to Chenla and Siam, and the states expressed their willingness to pay tribute, but had little interest in dealing with the Hoyi.

Further south is close to Malacca, Batavia, is the Heyi sphere of influence, the states are also all kinds of sultans, its attitude must be more inclined to the Dutch, after the fleet left Siam, did not continue to go south, but north back to Hue, want to use the Nguyen clan control of Hue, Quang Tri as a base, first at the request of the Nguyen clan, the weakest Champa city, kill the chickens and monkeys, but also for the sailors to take a place to anchor in the South Sea.

Fighting at sea is not like attacking a city, there is a fixed target waiting for you to fight, the fleet is on the sea, and you may not encounter enemy ships for a year and a half, but the ship can never leave the land for too long, and must dock to replenish, so it is a naval battle, but it is also the key to seize important trade nodes on land.

The Ming army fought with Heyi at sea, but the sailors have not encountered the Heyi warships so far, and a water battle has not been fought, but they have to attack the city first.

After the discussion was passed, Qian Bingrup, in the name of the Imperial Court, summoned the nominal vassal Chenla, Siam, and Annam to punish the city.

The Ruan family had long wanted to pull out the Champa behind him, and with the eldest brother taking the lead, the Ruan lord Nguyen Phuc Phuoc immediately raised 10,000 troops, and the Chin La and the Champa feud also agreed to send 5,000 troops, but Siam had nothing to do with himself, so he politely refused.

The Ming Dynasty ran in tandem here, and Heyi naturally got the news that when the sailors went to the states of Nanyang, the vast sea was already full of wolf smoke.

At that time, most of the maritime merchants were also merchants and thieves, and they could be changed at any time at the right time, and there was no royal law on the sea.

This is the best of Heyi and many Xiyi, the pace of the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants is obviously slower, but some maritime merchants have begun to learn from Xiyi, and occasionally do a vote in some sea areas that are not controlled by the government.

With the war between Wang Yan and Heyi, the situation on the sea became wonderful, Spain and Portugal, which had been pinching each other with Heyi, fought more fiercely, almost as long as they met, they would inevitably rob each other, and on the side of the Ming Dynasty, it was not the sailors who fired the first shot, but the Ming maritime merchants.
