Thousands of miles away in the country of Cochin, Guo Zhiqi, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was imprisoned in a prison in Tokyo (present-day Hanoi).

Hanoi was called Tokyo by the Annamite people and was the capital of the Hou Lê Dynasty.

Originally, the Jiaozhi people were polite to the Southern Ming, but when the news of the curse water disaster came, Li Weiqi, the king of the Li Dynasty after the Jiaozhi Kingdom, under the instigation of Zheng Zheng, who held the real power, brazenly attacked Guo Zhiqi, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and his Ming army, who originally entered Jiaozhi from Guangxi. Wei Yongfu, the general of the Jiaozhi State, designed to trap Guo Zhiqi and prepared to sacrifice him to the Qing court.

After Guo Zhiqi was arrested, the 3,000 Ming army under his command and the 30,000 Ming army of Annam were also surrounded and disarmed by the troops of the Jiaozhi State.

The Ming army from Annam was recruited from Jiaozhi when Li Dingguo was in Guangxi. After Li Dingguo's defeat and retreat, these Annan Ming troops followed the first assistant Guo Zhiqi into Jiaozhi.

In real history, Guo Zhiqi was later presented to the Qing court by Jiaozhi and killed by Sun Yanling in Guangxi. Later, Zheng Zheng waved a butcher's knife at the 30,000 Annan Ming troops and slaughtered these Annan people who were loyal to the Nanming.

At this time, Li Weiqi, the king of the Later Li Dynasty, was still the king in name, but Zheng Zheng, the king of Zheng Xiding, had the privilege of entering the court without worshipping and writing without being named, and set up the chair of the king of the Li Dynasty on the left side of the throne. That is to say, if Zheng Zheng, the king of Xiding, came to the court, not only did he not have to bow down, but he could also sit on the left side of the king.

At that time, the Jiaozhi State implemented the system called "Emperor Zheng of Li", which was a system of coexistence of one emperor and one king until the fall of the Li Dynasty.

It was also when Lord Zheng sent an envoy to Guangxi to negotiate with Sun Yanling and prepare to hand over Guo Zhiqi and the Southern Ming army to Guangxi, but the news of the defeat of the Burmese army came again, and the Southern Ming army had surrounded the city of Ava. In addition to this, Lord Zheng also heard that the Qiongzhou army could come to his Houli Kingdom at any time. After some deliberation, Zheng Zhu did not dare to hand over Guo Zhiqi to the Qing court for the time being, and waited for the news of the decisive battle between Wu Sangui and the Southern Ming army.

"Your Majesty! If Wu Sangui wins. We will sacrifice Guo Zhiqi and the remnants of the 3,000 Southern Ming Dynasty to Sun Yanling, and then kill all the 30,000 Jing Ming troops! If Wu Sangui loses, we will continue to wait and see! "Emperor Li's general, Ruan Shiqing, offered a plan.

The Dayue Dynasty claimed to be the overlord of Indochina to the outside world, so it called itself emperor, and its subjects called the king His Majesty. Li Weiqi, who was wearing the python robe of the king of the Ming Dynasty, was the emperor in the mouth of Dayue, and it was also ridiculous, and it seemed to be a bit of a monkey.

Li Weiqi nodded: "This plan is very good! Let's wait and see! ”

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong! A Ming army under the banner of the Nanyang Company landed at the mouth of the Red River! The Ming army is killing all the way to Tokyo! A cross-chin general hurried into the palace.

"Nanyang Company? What is the origin? Li Weiqi was stunned.

"I don't know, it seems to have been established on Luzon." The general said.

Ruan Shiqing laughed: "Nanyang Company? Seems like a money-making thing, right? It is estimated that it is just a private guard made by some kind of maritime merchant, how many people can there be? A few thousand is good! ”

A Wenchen said, "Then there are people from Nanyang Company who have been here before. It's talking to us about developing coal mines. But the minister did not promise them. This Nanyang company was built by a Chinese merchant named Pan Liu in Luzon, and there was a guard team under him. ”

"General Wei, I will allocate 10,000 troops to you to drive this Nanyang Army into the sea!" Li Weiqi said angrily, "But a mere businessman dares to challenge my dignified Dayue Dynasty!" ”

Don't look at a small little Vietnam, it is still very "domineering", and the Li family drove away the Ming army back then. After the establishment of the Lê Dynasty, Little Vietnam became the "Celestial Empire" of the Indochina Peninsula, expanding to the surrounding areas, forcing the surrounding small states such as Champa and Nanzhang to pay tribute. Bow to them. Today, he was bullied by a Nanyang company, as a descendant of the "national hero" Le Le Li in the eyes of the Vietnamese, Le Weiqi felt that he couldn't swallow this breath.

Although it is said that at this time, the Dayue Dynasty still had a Zheng regime that was above the king of the Later Li Dynasty, but Li Weiqi was bullied to the door by a private company. I still feel very unconvinced, and I want to take the opportunity to take a bad breath to show his dignity as an emperor.

Ruan Shiqing bowed to the ground: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

"Slow!" At this time, a minister came up and whispered to Li Weiqi. "Your Majesty, the military aircraft is a major matter, and the army should be sent by Lord Zheng! It shouldn't be the soldiers of our court. If our soldiers are damaged, then Lord Zheng will be even more lawless! ”

Only then did Li Weiqi remember that he was only the nominal emperor, and Zheng Zheng, the lord of Zheng, had a heavy army in his hands, and if the court soldiers loyal to him were lost, it would not make Zheng Zheng even less take himself seriously. This 10,000 men and horses is the maximum force that the imperial court can give. At that time, the Dayue Dynasty had a total of 130,000 troops, of which 120,000 were Zheng Zhu's soldiers and horses, and only 10,000 really belonged to the imperial court.

"Makes sense! Good! Immediately pass Zheng Zheng into the court! Li Weiqi nodded.

After a while, Zheng Zheng swaggered closer to the palace. He saw that the king of the Dayue Dynasty not only did not have to bow down, but swaggered to the edge of the throne and sat down in his place, and then he bowed his hand to Li Weiqi: "I don't know what Your Majesty wants this king to enter the palace?" ”

Li Weiqi arched his hand to Zheng Zheng and saluted: "Zheng Aiqing, the Ming army has landed and is heading for Tokyo, I hope Zheng Aiqing can send troops to resist the Ming army." ”

Zheng Zheng sneered: "Ming Army? That's a pseudo-Ming, okay! They were beaten by the Qing Dynasty and the country was ruined, and there were only a few thieves left! And what to fear! I have a million soldiers in the kingdom of Dayue, see how this king cleans up the northern invaders! ”

"Congratulations to Master Zheng on his success!" The Chinese military officials of the DPRK wished Zheng Zheng in advance.

After Zheng Zheng returned to Fuzhong, he immediately ordered his son Zheng Gen to be the commander-in-chief, and the general Wei Yongfu to be the vanguard, and ordered 30,000 troops to go to the mouth of the Red River to intercept the Nanyang Ming army.

Wei Yongfu, the vanguard of the Great Vietnamese Army, led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the lower reaches of the Red River, where he met the Ming army advancing along the Red River.

On the surface of the Red River, the Ming fleet, led by the locals, went upstream, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the Great Vietnamese army on the shore.

"It's strange, how can a puppet warship be familiar with the situation in our inland river? Is there someone leading the way? Wei Yongfu was very puzzled and said to himself. Logically speaking, it is impossible for any country to familiarize the enemy country with the situation of its own inland waters, and the only explanation for the free passage of the enemy's fleet on its own inland rivers is that someone leads the way.

However, the number of Ming troops was not large, there were only more than 3,000 people on land, and there were ten warships on the river. The combined army is estimated to be less than 5,000 men. This Viet army was not a wine bag and a rice bag, they were supported by the Dutch, they had muskets and cannons in their hands, and these 5,000 vanguards were mainly cavalry.

"General, no, look at that!" A general pointed in the direction of the Ming army.

Wei Yongfu looked in the direction of the general's finger, and saw that the opposite side actually played the banner of "Qingjun side, punish the rebel thief, and help Li destroy Zheng"!

There was a lot of discussion among the officers and soldiers of Dayue, but these soldiers were the best soldiers of Dayue who were most loyal to Lord Zheng. They don't care who the king is, they only know that they are loyal to Lord Zheng.

Wei Yongfu was furious, and with an order, the 5,000 Dayue army killed the Ming army.

There was a trench ahead, blocking the way of the Great Viet Cong. saw a female general in red clothes and a red horse standing behind the trench, with a spear in her hand pointing straight in the direction of Wei Yongfu. The Ming army Dazhai Zhongjing flag was displayed, and the flag of the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang Company and a "Zheng" flag fluttered in the wind. This female general is Wang Xinyu's wife Zheng Yun.

"Hahaha! False Ming is gone? Actually sent a female baby to be the main general? Wei Yongfu smiled and leaned back.

All the Da Viet officers and soldiers burst into laughter.

But I heard Zheng Yun shouting: "Who is coming?" Get your name in! Auntie and grandmother don't kill nameless ghosts! ”

Wei Yongfu laughed: "I am the pioneer of the Dayue Kingdom, Wei Yongfu is also!" You little girl. Let's hurry home and have a baby! Don't come here and waste your life in vain! ”

"It turned out to be Lord Zheng's lackey! Do you dare to go it alone with your aunt and grandmother? Zheng Yunjiao shouted.

"Hahaha! The little girl wants to go head-to-head with General Ben! Come! Wei Yongfu roared and rode his horse to the gate of the village. If it weren't for Zheng Yun, but for a random male general, Wei Yongfu would never dare to step forward and fight alone. He saw that Zheng Yun was extremely beautiful. I secretly said in my heart: This little girl is very beautiful, and she can be caught and made small!

The drawbridge was lowered in the camp of the Ming army, and Zheng Yun rushed out of the gate of the village on horseback, and arrived in front of Wei Yongfu at once.

The two of them are staggered. Wei Yongfu relied on his strength, and the big knife in his hand slashed towards Zheng Yun. Who knew that Zheng Yun didn't fight him, but was short. With a false shot, the horse rode through quickly.

"This little girl doesn't even dare to parry!" Wei Yongfu was even more underestimated enemy, and the idea of capturing Zheng Yunsheng became even stronger in his heart. He turned his horse's head, and the two of them faced each other head-on.

Who knew that the moment the two war horses met, the spear in Zheng Yun's hand stabbed out like lightning, and before Wei Yongfu could understand, he was shot in the throat, screaming and falling off the horse.

Seeing that the Lord was about to be killed, the morale of the Great Viet Army suddenly fell to the extreme.

"Kill!" Zheng Yun pointed his spear, and the 3,000 Ming troops in the camp were killed, and the arrows were fired in a volley, and the muskets roared, and the Great Vietnamese Army was defeated and retreated like the tide of the ebb tide.

The Ming army lacked cavalry, and Zheng Yun did not order a pursuit, but collected his troops and returned to the camp.

The reason why Zheng Yun came here was because an employee of the Nanyang Company who had failed to negotiate the opening of the coal mine in Jiaozhi State told Fang Yizhi, the prefect of Qiongzhou, that Guo Zhiqi, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, had been ensnared by Jiaozhi and that the Ming army had been disarmed. Upon learning of this, Fang Yizhi asked Qiongzhou to send troops to rescue Guo Zhiqi.

Wang Xinyu has been away from Qiongzhou for more than half a year. Within half a year, Zheng Yun became the de facto governor of Qiongzhou, and she personally organized the recruitment and training of men, and organized an army of 5,000 people, making the Qiongzhou army reach the scale of 7,000 people.

Liu Qi is also very resolute to attack Jiaozhi, because he is a part-time executive of Nanyang Company, since Nanyang Company once brought a big gift and went to negotiate with Jiaozhi people to develop a coal mine, but it failed, then there is only one way to go, which is to open his door by force!

There are many iron mines in Qiongzhou, but coal mines are scarce, and in order to maintain the huge coal consumption of the Dingguowan Iron and Steel Plant, it will not take long for the coal mines in Qiongzhou to run out, so the only way to open the door of Jiaozhi is to let Nanyang Company develop the coal mines.

At present, there are only 7,000 people in the Qiongzhou Army Division, and with the navy, there are only 12,000 people in total, and these 12,000 people cannot be dispatched in the nest, so a part of the troops must be left to prevent Hong Chengchou and Shang Kexi from sneaking up on Qiongzhou. Zheng Yun believed that the maximum number of people that could be dispatched was 5,000, and that there was no hope of victory at all to use 5,000 men to deal with the Jiaozhi State, which had an army of more than 100,000 troops.

Fang Yizhi offered a strategy: "The Da Yue Dynasty of Jiaozhi and the Ruan Dynasty in the south are not compatible, the two countries have been fighting for many years, and there is a Mo dynasty in their northwest, as long as we unite the Ruan and Mo clans, and then play the banner of Qing Jun and Zheng Fuli on Da Yue, we can win the support of the Annamite people!" ”

So after two months of preparation, Liu Qi sent troops to Annan.

Zheng Yun volunteered to go with the army, but as soon as he went into battle, he killed Wei Yongfu, the vanguard general of Zheng Zhu in Jiaozhi.

Wei Yongfu was killed, and the Jiaozhi vanguard army was defeated.

The remnants of the defeated army returned to the Chinese army, Zheng Gen was furious, and personally led the main army of 30,000 to attack the Ming army.

The Ming army set up a formation along the river, using the trench and the walled wall as a cover, arranging artillery in the camp, and using the battleships on the river as the fire support point, and cooperated with the army division to bombard the Da Vietnamese army.

The Great Vietnamese Army attacked from the west and north, and was heavily bombarded by Ming artillery and suffered heavy losses. But Zheng Gen was not afraid, because the Jing people have a warlike tradition, and for many years they have fought with the Han people in the north and the Mongols in the south, and they have not suffered great losses, but the Han and Mongols have suffered many times on the land of Vietnam. Not to mention the fact that the current Great Vietnamese army was not badly equipped, and with the support of the Dutch, their long-range weapons were muskets and artillery.

However, when these "brave and invincible" Annan soldiers rushed closer, and saw the banner of "Qing Jun's side, punish the rebel thief, and help Li to destroy Zheng", their morale dropped by 50 percentage points at once.

Although the Li family is only a puppet emperor, and the Zheng lord is the king of Dayue who really holds the real power, but in the minds of the people of Annan, the Li family who expelled the Ming army and created the Li dynasty is orthodox, the Li family is a national hero in the eyes of the people of Annan, and the Zheng family is just a Cao thief who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world.

Most of the ordinary Da Yue soldiers were from ordinary people. After seeing the banner of the Ming army, it was inevitable that morale would decrease.

Seeing that the Dayue soldiers were defeated and retreated so quickly, Zheng Gen was furious, organized the soldiers and officers who were most loyal to the Zheng clan, formed a team of overseers, and forced the Dayue soldiers to attack the Ming army with knives.

The Ming army's water and land armies fired 10,000 artillery guns at once, and the cannonballs hit the formation of the Great Vietnamese Army like hail, stirring up bursts of bloody rain and bloody winds. When the Great Vietnamese army rushed to the trench, the Ming army's muskets, bird guns, bows and arrows and grenades fired a volley, causing the corpses of the Great Vietnamese army to pile up and stain the Red River red with blood.

The Ming army, with a total number of less than 5,000 people, was like an iron walnut in front of more than 30,000 Vietnamese troops, so that the Great Vietnamese army could not swallow it, but knocked out its teeth. (To be continued.) )
