The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Annan's interior can be regarded as not monolithic.

The contradiction between the local army and the central army has always been extremely sharp.

The central army looked down on the local army's suffering, and the local army believed that the central army had taken too much supplies.

For example, now, for the ratio of logistics, there are endless debates in Hu Jiyao's prime minister's mansion.

Everyone feels that their army should need more food and pay.

Hu Jiyao also felt a little headache.

In fact, according to the original plan, he was going to slowly take back the military power of these local armies.

Because of the relationship with the former king of Annan, Hu Jisha has great influence in the local army, and many of the generals under the command of the local army commanders are Hu Jisha's people.

Among them, more than half of the managers were arranged by Hu Jishu.

But because of the situation, Hu Jishou could only summon all the people back.

"The battle must be fought, it just depends on how to fight it now."

"The army of Daming has gathered in Longzhou now, and the two passes of Aiyi and Jiling are ahead."

"Although these two levels are not bad, it must be extremely difficult to stop Da Ming's footsteps. It depends on whether it can cause certain damage to Da Ming's army."

"I intend to deploy 15 troops to occupy the two passes of Aiyi and Jiling respectively, to kill the spirit of the Ming army. What do you guys think?"

Hu Jiyao said calmly to all the local military commanders present.

He knew very well in his heart that he could no longer avoid it.

Although the current situation is not very good, Hu Jiyao also has his own capital to rebel.

Annan's topographical characteristics are not conducive to large-scale military operations, and it is difficult for the Central Plains Army to stay in the Annan area for a long time.

It is indeed difficult to defeat the Ming army, and it is even almost impossible in terms of the quality of the soldiers on both sides.

But Hu Jishou doesn’t need to fight against the main force of the Ming army, he just needs to do everything possible to delay the war, and if the war is long enough, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will continue to decline, and finally reach the goal of not attacking itself. to the point of breaking.

Around the two passes of Aiyi and Jiling, Hu Jishou took advantage of Annan's topographical advantages to dig trenches near various rivers in the northern region, build defensive fortresses, and densely place bows and crossbows.

Its bows and crossbows are all soaked in poisonous water, and just opening the wound can kill people without a doubt.

Its city and mountains are connected for nine hundred miles, and a large number of militiamen are recruited to defend.

Annan mainly lies in the east and the west.

The eastern capital is Thang Long, and the western capital is Thanh Hoa.

These can also be said to be the two political and cultural centers of Annan. Once these two capitals are lost, it means that the entire territory of Annan has been completely taken down.

After Aiyi and Jiling, there is Duobang City.

Duobang City is the gateway to the north of Annan, and its geographical location is quite important.

Once opened, it would be very difficult for both East and West to stop the Ming army.

In other words, Duobang City will be an important decisive battle between Annan and the Ming army.

Hu Jishu's heart was steady.

Because he had already arranged his secret weapon in Duobang City.

Under this secret weapon, he believed that it could definitely cause huge casualties to the Ming army.

On Daming's side, the 30 troops formed a very long line when they were walking.

Because the mountain road is rugged and the jungle is dense, it is very difficult for most people to walk.

Ye Sheng, the Marquis of Jingning who led the army for a long time, soon realized the problem.

Immediately called Chen Huan, Marquis of Puding.

"Our army has too many people and it is difficult to move. Aiyi and Jiling are just ahead. If we go directly and try to take it all at once, we will definitely cause a lot of damage."

"You divide up one hundred thousand troops and take a detour from the left side, and I will attack in two directions."

"In this way, we can break through the level faster."

Puding Hou Chen Huan nodded in approval.

Walking on such a narrow road, it is not a good thing for the army to stretch the front and rear too long.

In this surrounding area, some Annan Rangers harassed from time to time.

But for the time being, it does not pose any danger to the Ming army.

Fortifications such as those built by Hu Jishou were completely meaningless to the Ming army.

The high-efficiency range of the arquebus can completely target them.

The opponent's crossbow and firearms couldn't reach the Ming army at all.

Especially artillery bombardment.

When encountering one of these small fortifications, it usually takes only a few shots to solve it.

Zhu Ying attaches great importance to firearms, not only in the transformation of matchlock guns, but also in the accuracy of artillery.

It has always been the key research direction of the Gunpowder Department.

Although there has been no leapfrog progress, the accuracy is now much higher than before.

For a fixed position, it has been able to reach one out of ten.

That is to say, if ten shots go down, basically one shot will hit, and the error is only about ten steps.

Such accuracy is already very high.

You must know that the previous artillery is completely a random projectile, and the error is beyond the range of fifty paces. There is no accuracy at all. For both the enemy and the enemy, it is simply fate.

The longer-range firearms and higher-accuracy artillery made Hu Jisha's arrangement completely useless, and he could only passively accept the baptism of guns.

On Daming's side, he didn't care about the consumption of gunpowder at all.

In Fucheng, Guangxi, there is a gunpowder manufacturing factory, and it doesn't take a month to complete supplies for the army.

Chen Huan, the Marquis of Puding led [-] soldiers to detour, and the marching speed of the Ming army was even faster.

When there are too many soldiers, the marching speed will not be fast at all.

half a month later.

The two armies arrived at Aiyi Pass.

As the name suggests, Aiyi Pass is even narrower, and some roads can only be passed by two people.

Normally speaking, it would take a lot of troops to attack.

If it was earlier, it would have been a hassle for the Ming army to attack.

It's a pity that with the development of artillery and firecrackers, such a juncture can no longer be a strong obstacle.

Still a simple flat push.

The artillery bombarded, and the firecrackers opened the way.

This kind of tactics is simple and rude, and it is also invincible.

If you want to block the bombardment of artillery, only relatively large cities can do it. Small checkpoints like Aiyi Pass and Jiling Pass are difficult to stop.

In front of Jiling Pass, thirty artillery pieces were set up.

"Your Majesty has an order, fire the cannon!!!"

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! !
Thirty artillery pieces were aimed at the tower of Jiling Pass, and they bombarded continuously.

After bombing for almost two quarters of an hour, it stopped for a while.

When the smoke and ashes dissipated, there was no cock crowing, and the gate tower was already in ruins.

Following the order of Jingning Hou Yesheng, the Ming army guarded with swords and shields in front, and the gunners advanced afterwards.

There was no strong resistance.

When bombarding the city tower, the courage of Annan's soldiers had already been frightened, and the guarding generals didn't even have a chance to escape.

I was very unlucky. I was shot at the beginning, and the body was already buried under the ruins.

Jingning Hou Yesheng's situation here is very good, and Puding Hou Chen Huan also passed all the way.

The current combat effectiveness of the Ming army can be said to be the pinnacle of the pinnacle.

Because a large number of middle-level officers did not die because of the Sapphire case, the overall execution of the army is extremely strong.

In addition, Zhu Ying had trained many military officers before, and the tactical arrangements in all aspects were very detailed and meticulous.

Compared with Ming Dynasty, Annan Army seems to be still in the state of a hundred years ago.

Because of the climate in Southeast Asia, the humid environment makes it difficult for firearms to have any major development.

You must know that in the original history, Zhu Di only arranged for Zhang Fu to pacify Annan.

Although Zhang Fu is outstanding, compared with famous founding generals like Jingning Hou Yesheng and Puding Hou Chen Huan, there is no difference of 01:30 points.

The army in Zhu Di's time was also a little worse than the army of Daming now.

Even so, Zhang Fu could crush him all the way.

Not to mention Ye Sheng and Chen Huan now.

Except for the factors affected by climate, other things are not a problem at all for the Ming army.

It was also at this time that Zhu Ying's decree arrived at the Daming Navy who had been staying in the waters of Champa.

At the same time, Zhancheng was ordered to cooperate with the Daming Navy to attack Annan together.

Champa received news from Daming.

That's a joy.

Zhancheng itself is a feud with Annan, and the war between the two sides has lasted for hundreds of years. Now that Ming Dynasty is attacking Annan, Champa naturally has to keep up.

In fact, from the map, Annan seems to be closer to the Lancang Kingdom, but it seems that there was no war between Annan Kingdom and Lancang Kingdom in history.

Among them, Annan belongs to the circle of Han culture, while Lancang is completely out of line.

The main reason for this is the Changshan Mountains that straddle the Indochina Peninsula.

The Changshan Mountains are located in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula. They are the boundary mountains between Annam and Lancang. They generally run from northwest to southeast, slanting across the whole of Annan, and go straight into the sea between Hue and Da Nang in the central part of Annan.

The Lancang Kingdom is the Laos of later generations.

The name Laos was only recorded in the mid-Ming Dynasty.

The Lancang Kingdom was established in the 13th year of Yuan Zhizheng, 14 years earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang established Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of the obstruction of the Changshan Mountains that it is difficult for Lancang to be related to the Central Plains.

Annan and Lancang had no communication at all because of the obstacles of the mountains.

For Annan, to the north is the Ming Dynasty. As a subsidiary country, Annan can rely on the unique climate of Annan's side to be guaranteed. It is a complete joke to talk about invading Guangxi of the Ming Dynasty.

It's really going to be rubbed against the ground with your head pressed.

Therefore, for Annan, his only direction of development is Champa.

Historically, Annan did annex Champa completely in the end.

The reason why Champa was gradually encroached has a lot to do with Annan occupying Haiyunling in the early days.

If Shanhaiguan is the most important pass in the Central Plains.

Then the important location of Haiyunling is as important as Shanhaiguan.

For Annan, going south was extremely easy, he could come and leave whenever he wanted, and only a small number of troops were needed to resist the army of Champa.

Most of the historical exchanges are Annan's aggression against Champa.

This feeling is like the grassland to the Central Plains dynasty.

Therefore, the people of Champa hated Annan very much.

Now that we have the opportunity, how can we not grasp it?

At this time, the Daming navy who stayed at the port of Champa played a big role.

The first is the overall control of the Annan coastal area.

Annan's navy is actually pretty good, but compared to the Daming Navy, it's really not enough to fit the teeth.

At this time, the port of Champa.

Jin Kaishan was fishing leisurely.

Compared with Yu Daming's life, here is much more free, which makes Jin Kaishan feel very comfortable.

He was very glad that he was able to take over the task of escorting Concubine Yue here.

Now he is stationed in Champa according to His Highness Taisun's decree, not to mention how happy the little life is.

Although Daming is prosperous, it is still quite depressing for the navy.

In Daming, although Jin Kaishan's position was not low, but there were too many superiors at various levels, and he had to obey orders from all aspects, and he had no right to speak.

When it comes to Champa, it's completely different.

In name, it seems to be a bit inferior to Champa King Tea, but in fact, no one dares to offend himself in the whole Champa.

Jin Kaishan, who represents Daming, has no scruples here.

Every day there will be an endless stream of businessmen or courtiers from Champa to curry favor with him.

The daily drills are basically in charge of the adjutants below.

It's not enough to get drunk and drunk, after all, many of the navy under his command graduated from the Imperial Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty, and they are considered His Highness Taisun's people.

But as long as it's not too much, no one can gossip.

At this time, a small boat on the sea came quickly, Jin Kaishan looked up and didn't pay much attention.

The soldiers on the boat were very anxious, and they shouted from a long distance: "Master Jin, Lord Jin!"

Jin Kaishan seemed to be in a hurry, so he ordered the boats to approach.

"Why are you so impatient."

"Return to Lord Jin, His Highness Taisun ordered Lord Jin to quickly mobilize and station the navy in Champa, immediately march to the Annan waters, and cooperate with Jingning Hou to jointly attack Annan."

Just hearing the title His Highness Taisun, Jin Kaishan jumped up from his seat.

After listening, he quickly ordered to turn back to the place where the navy was stationed.

The next day.

Jin Kaishan took dozens of treasure ships and headed straight for the Annan waters.

Champa Waters and Annan Waters are originally together, and there is no cost on the journey.

Depart early the next morning, when the sun has not yet set.

The entire Annan navy, including its offshore area, has been completely occupied by Jinkaishan.

Using the word occupation seems to be a little too much.

The takeover seems to reflect the situation of Jin Kaishan more clearly.

At the first moment when they saw the Daming Navy, all the Annan Navy chose to surrender without the slightest hesitation.

This made Jin Kaishan feel like he had no achievements.

"Damn it, how do I want me to write this memorial."

Jin Kaishan still wanted to make a wave of military exploits. Although this situation can be regarded as a bit of credit, there is nothing to write about in the battle report.

Of course, it is definitely not possible to make up out of thin air.

It can only be written that when our army comes, the opponent will surrender across the board.

In less than a day's work, all Annan coastal areas were captured.
