After the Yongle Emperor sent a large army to conquer Annan, Annan turned Annan into a county of the Ming Dynasty, but then as the Yongle Emperor turned his attention to the north, he led the army to conquer Mobei five times, and the military center of gravity of the Ming Dynasty also continued to shift northward.

The elite Ming army originally stationed in Annan was also repeatedly transferred back to the north to fight, and with the continuous withdrawal of the Ming army, rebellions began to occur in Annan one after another.

Some of them flaunted the banner of the descendants of the Chen family, and some of them flaunted the banner of the descendants of the Li clan, and each instigated many Annan people to follow.

In this way, the rebellions continued until the Xuande period, when the rebel Li Li group, under the banner of the descendants of the Li family, gradually grew larger, and the Jiaozhi political envoy was no longer able to exercise effective rule in many areas of Annam.

In November of the second year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande was in vain because of many years of hard work and salary, so he ordered the three divisions of Jiaozhi to withdraw the army and the people to return to the north.

In the fifth year of Xuande, Li Li sent tribute, called the minister, and asked the Ming court to give canonization.

Emperor Xuande was unhappy in his heart, and he did not want to make Li the king of Annam, but at the same time, he did not want to raise swords again, so he refused to crown Li Li as the king of Annam on the grounds of continuing to search for the descendants of the Chen family before Annam.

In the sixth year of Xuande, Li Li once again sent tribute, sent more gold and silver utensils and various gifts, and bribed the courtiers with a lot of money.

This time, Emperor Xuande finally relented and gave him the title of having the right to handle state affairs in Annam, which was regarded as a recognition of the status of the Li family.

In this way, in the first year of orthodoxy, Li Li's son Li Lin, on the grounds of congratulating Emperor Yingzong on his ascension to the pole, once again sent tribute, and contributed a large amount of gold and silver treasures to Emperor Yingzong, who had just ascended to the pole, and finally won the title of King of Annam.

After the Li clan was crowned the king of Annam, he quickly consolidated his internal rule, and then did not take the Ming court seriously, although he was still a vassal on the surface, but in private he regarded himself as the emperor of the Li dynasty of Annam.

For example, after Li Lin was crowned King of Annam, he privately named his father Li Li as Taizu, and after Li Lin's death, his successor also gave Li Lin the nickname Taizong privately.

In particular, they ostensibly serve the Ming Dynasty, but privately adopt their own era names.

Although the Ming court knew this, it had no way to punish it.

Almost 100 years after Lê Le was crowned king of Annam and the Li Dynasty was established in Annam, in the sixth year of Jiajing, the story of Annam, which had happened repeatedly, was staged again.

Mo Dengyong, a powerful minister of the Li Dynasty, usurped the throne, seized the Li family's Annan country, and established the Mo Dynasty in the history of Annam.

After that, there were constant wars in Annam, and the courtiers of the Li Dynasty who were loyal to the Li clan supported one of the descendants of the Li clan and fled to the south and became the Southern Dynasty.

The usurper Mo occupied the north and became the Northern Dynasty.

At the same time, the story of Li's request for sealing was also repeated in Mo's case.

The Ming court learned that there was a war in Annam, and the powerful minister Mo Dengyong usurped the throne of the Li family, and inexplicably insisted that the Li family was orthodox again, that is, he refused to recognize the throne of the Mo family.

It wasn't until the nineteenth year of Jiajing that after Mo Dengyong didn't know how many times he sent envoys to ask for surrender and was called a minister, Emperor Jiajing finally nodded and agreed to accept his subordination, but he cut Annan to the Commander of Annan, and only granted Mo Dengyong the position of Commander of Annan, which was regarded as confirming the status of Mo's rule over Annam.

Because the Mo's Annan and Northern Dynasties were usurped by powerful ministers, the so-called position was never very stable, and the ruling foundation in the Northern Dynasties was not very solid.

Decades later, around the twentieth year of Wanli, the Li clan of the Southern Dynasty gradually became strong again, and continued to regain lost territory in the north.

In the twentieth year of Wanli, the Li army of the Southern Dynasty conquered the capital of the Northern Dynasty, Shenglong Mansion, the so-called Yingzong Mo Maoqia of the Mo Dynasty was killed, and Mo Jingzhi of the Mo Dynasty succeeded to the throne and led the army to retreat to Gaoping.

In the twenty-first year of Wanli, the Li army of the Southern Dynasty continued to attack the Mo clan, and Mo Jingzhi and the children of the Mo Dynasty clan were defeated and captured, and then beheaded for public display.

After Mo Jingzhi's death, the remnants of the Mo Dynasty found one of Mo Jingzhi's younger brothers, named Mo Jinggong, and re-established himself as emperor, and continued to compete with the Li clan in the Gaoping area.

In the third year of the Apocalypse, Zheng Jie, the powerful minister of the Li clan of the Southern Dynasty, sent the army of the Southern Dynasty to capture Gaoping, and Mo Jinggong, the head of the Mo clan of the Northern Dynasty, and his crown prince were captured and killed by the Li army in this war.

After that, Mo Jinggong's nephew Mo Jingkuan, with the support of Mo Yuran, a relict of the Mo Dynasty, succeeded to the throne of the Mo Dynasty, and at the same time fled into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, in the name of the Ming Dynasty's envoy to the Ming Dynasty, he asked the Ming court for help.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, under the intervention of the Ming court, the army of the Li clan of the Southern Dynasty of Annam was forced to withdraw from Gaoping, and then Mo Jingkuan, with the support of the Ming Dynasty, returned to Gaoping with the remnants of the Mo clan and the few remaining troops, and continued the rule of the Mo clan over the Gaoping area in the north of Annam.

This Mo Jingkuan, known as Mo Guangzu in history.

However, since then, the Mo clan of the Northern Dynasty of Annam has been weakening day by day and has been on the verge of extinction.

And this time, Mo Jingwan, who came to Beijing to meet Emperor Chongzhen, was the son of this Mo Jingkuan.

In the original history, after the death of this Mo Jingkuan, his throne passed to his son Mo Jingwan, and Mo Jingwan actually maintained the foundation of the Mo clan in the Anbei and Northern Dynasties until the Manchu Kangxi Emperor pacified the rebellion of the three feudatories.

And the reason why he completely perished was because in the rebellion of the three feudatories launched by Wu Sangui and others, he, as an Annanite, openly stood on the side of Wu Sangui in Gaoping in northern Annan, and also wanted to make some contributions to the anti-Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and constantly supplied Wu Sangui's army with grain, grass and military supplies.

As a result, it can be imagined that after the rebellion of the three feudatories was put down, the army of the Li clan of the Anbei and Northern Dynasties once again launched a fierce attack on Gaoping, where the Mo clan was entrenched, and the Mo clan was defeated again and fled to Guangxi.

But this time, there was no longer the Ming Dynasty to support him.

In 1683, the 37th year of Yongle of the Ming Dynasty and the 22nd year of the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, Mo Jingwan, who fled to Guangxi, was captured by the Qing army and then handed over to the powerful minister Zheng of the Li Dynasty in Annam, and was subsequently executed.

This is the basic history of the Mo clan in the Annan and Northern Dynasties.

Of course, this Emperor Chongzhen is not clear about this now, but this time Mo Jingwan's court meeting, and the earth-shattering words he said when he met him, made him seriously think about the issue of Annan.

Today's Mo clan, since they are willing to dedicate Annan to the Ming Dynasty, it means that they have reached the point of exhaustion.

If the Ming court did not lend a helping hand to him, then the Northern and Southern Dynasties of Annam would soon come to an end, and it would end with the complete defeat of the Mo clan.

The relatively powerful Lê Southern Dynasty, also known in history as the Later Lê Dynasty, would have unified Annam decades earlier.

Then in the next few decades, there will be another Annan tyrant in the south of the Ming Dynasty who constantly causes trouble.

Of course, this is not what I want to see.

For the Ming Dynasty, it was better for the land of Annam to never have a unified state, and it was better to always be mired in endless wars.

If Annam, hundreds of years later, had not been unified with the support of China, but had always been divided into South Vietnam and North Vietnam, would this North Vietnam still have the ability to threaten, provoke, and even wage war against its northern neighbors?

If it is still divided into the northern and southern dynasties, give him one hundred and twenty dares, and he will not dare to offend his neighbors in the north!

People in this era at the end of the Ming Dynasty don't know the history of later generations, but they know it, a traveler from later generations!

In this case, the first thing I should do is to maintain the current situation of the North and South Dynasties in Annam.

At the same time, on the condition of providing military support to the Mo clan of the Northern Dynasty, they successively exchanged land in the north and south of Annan, and continuously pushed the southern border of the Ming Dynasty to the south.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Mo Jingwan, who was much younger than himself, and Mo Yuyan, the old minister of the Mo clan who was following Mo Jingwan, and said slowly:

"I heard that in addition to the Mo clan of your Northern Dynasty, there is still a Southern Dynasty of the Hou Li clan in the south. And it is said that the Southern Dynasty of the Li clan has won many battles in recent years, and continues to advance to the north, and your Mo family's rivers and mountains are no longer half of Annam, first lost Thang Long, and then lost Gao Ping, and Annam has almost been restored to the ownership of the Li clan!

"If it weren't for the first emperor remembering your Mo ancestors, but for the envoy of Annan who was personally appointed by Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that the temple of your Mo clan in the Northern Dynasty has been closed for a long time!"

Emperor Chongzhen finished saying these words unceremoniously, and then looked at Mo Jingwan and Mo Yuyan, who were kneeling on the ground trembling, and suddenly said sharply:

"You Northern Dynasty Mo Clan is dying and dying now, but you dare to speak out in front of me, lie and deceive! The land of Annam is now almost entirely in the hands of the Li clan of the Southern Dynasty, how can you come to the land of 53 prefectures, 49 prefectures, and 176 counties to contribute to me?! ”

Emperor Chongzhen's sudden anger made the atmosphere in the Zhongji Hall suddenly reach the freezing point.

Mo Jingwan, the heir of the Mo clan of the Annan and Northern Dynasties, was speechless, but kept kowtowing, and kept repeating in his mouth: "This is the wish of the Mo clan, the emperor forgives the sin!" The Great Emperor forgives his sins! ”

At this time, Mo Yuyan, an old minister of the Mo clan who was kneeling beside Mo Jingwan, suddenly raised his head and said in Chinese with a Guangxi accent of later generations:

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Since the Mo clan of Annan was appointed as the commander of the capital of Annan, he has governed the north and south of Annan for more than 100 years, opened the branch and won the hearts of the people of the Northern Dynasty. However, in recent years, there have been droughts in the north and south of Annan for many years, the people are poor, the people's livelihood has withered, and the strength of the Northern Dynasties has not been as good as before.

"Especially after the loss of Thang Long Mansion in recent years, the Mo clan lost the Thang Long Fu River Valley Plain, and the wealth fell into the hands of the Southern Dynasty, so they had to retreat to the northern mountains, and the situation became increasingly difficult. If there is no help from the Ming Dynasty, the Mo family will indeed be out of worship for a long time!

"But it is precisely because of this that I am more willing to be the loyal and filial son of His Majesty the Ming Emperor than the Li clan in the south!"

Speaking of this, Mo Yuran kowtowed a few times in a row, and then said solemnly: "If His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is willing to help the Northern Dynasty Mo Clan regain the Dragon Mansion, my Mo Clan is willing to give it to Gaoping Land!" If the Ming Dynasty can help the Mo clan take Thanh Hoa and Hue, my Mo clan is willing to give Thang Long Mansion and the land north of it, and accept the proton year coin, and forever be the loyal dog of the Ming vassal ministers! ”
