Lu Ming

Chapter 632 Gathering of All Powers

Master Sheng Nansheng finally managed to keep the heads of the Ruan clan from the hands of the victors by using various rhetoric techniques such as "worshipful words" and "knowing the benefits".

After that, after more than 10 days of appeasement, the chaotic city of Hue has largely returned to its previous rhythm.Human beings are forgetful, and the negative effects of war are rapidly fading away from this important town.

Time: The 10th day after Hue Kaesong.

Location: Hue Royal Palace.

In today's royal palace, there are still gatherings of civil and military dignitaries of the new dynasty.However, unlike the noisy market atmosphere before, because a large number of low-level officials were sent to serve in other places, coupled with the clarification of common affairs, the palace finally regained its due solemnity.

With the dignity restored, it is time to discuss some major issues.

For example, the formation of coalition forces.

Needless to say, it must be the foreign Ming forces who are pushing this issue—the Ming military representative team headed by Sheng Nan.

Today's Sheng Nan is no longer the leader of the bachelor observation group before Kaicheng.

Just three days ago, the mixed fleet from the Ming Dynasty sailed into the port of Hue.The task force consists of 5 combat ships and a large number of transport ships.Among them, the flagship "Kaiyuan" is a new type of large-scale iron-ribbed wood-hulled steam engine sail warship for the first time on a long voyage.

The Kaiyuan, which was specially built for the development of South Asia, is a symbol of the national strength of the Great Yan State, and it is the crystallization of the highest level of insisting on the industrialization route for many years.

Kaiyuan has a displacement of 3000 tons and a full load displacement of 3500 tons.Although compared to the [-]-ton oil tankers that have traveled all over the world in later generations, Kaiyuan is still a small brother in this era.

The Kai Yuan, which was specially designed for South Seas, was designed with a shallow draft line in consideration of the basic conditions of the port in this era.

At the same time, at the beginning of the design, the Kaiyuan also focused on improving the carrying capacity and self-sustaining capacity, and its payload value is very high.Of course, in this way, the armaments on board will definitely need to be reduced.The final product, such a large battleship, has only 7 cannons installed on it.

From this perspective, the Kaiyuan is actually more like a steam carrier than a warship.

Although the equipment is simple, if anyone dares to touch the tiger's butt with blind eyes, it will definitely die ugly.Not to mention the cruisers and frigates that are always by my side, even if the Kaiyuan is besieged in the worst case, there is still a big killer in hand-on the front deck, there is an Italian cannon.

Literally an Italian cannon.

With the growth of the actual control area of ​​the Great Yan Kingdom and the substantial increase in the army and navy, the Italian artillery installed on the wall of the Dayuan Commercial Hall has long since lost its military significance.

This time, considering that the Nanyang Fleet had to deal with a variety of complicated situations when it was alone, the military installed the Italian cannon on the deck of the Kaiyuan, and used it as a treasure to suppress the luck of Nanyang.

————————————————————————————

When such an important flagship as the Kaiyuan arrives in Hue, it is natural that important people and important matters will also come together.

This time, the mixed fleet not only unloaded a large amount of supplies, but also "unloaded" a full 2000 Pioneer Army combatants.

Arriving in Hue with the material personnel, there are also the commander of the pioneering army Wang Bo, the commander of the fleet Sha Zhengming, and Shao Qiang, the de facto number one figure in the South Asian wasteland reclamation team.

In addition to a few powerful figures, there are also a few traveling companions who came to Nanyang for business trips temporarily.

The arrival of several important figures and combat troops indicates that the Nanyang development plan has entered a substantive stage, and a certain force will roll up its sleeves and start working this time.

Of course, the first step is always to straighten out internal relationships.

On the day the fleet arrived, after Sheng Nan boarded the Kaiyuan, Shao Qiang unpacked and read out several cabinet documents in the captain's room in front of those who traveled through the ship.

The first document: The cabinet decided to open the Nanyang Governor's Mansion immediately and appoint Shao Qiang as the first governor.The area under the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Governor's Mansion is currently tentatively defined as all areas south of the 18th parallel south latitude.

The second document: Forming the Nanyang Fleet with immediate effect, the commander is Sha Zhengming.The Nanyang Fleet is under the dual leadership of the Navy and the Governor of Nanyang.

The third document: The Nanyang Pioneering Team will be formed from now on, with Wang Bo as its commander.The Nanyang Pioneering Team was under the dual leadership of the Army and the Governor of Nanyang.

After reading several important documents, everyone had a drink and congratulated the newly appointed Governor Shao.

As for Mr. Sheng Nan, his mission of leading students and diplomacy this time has been successfully completed, and he has passed the organizational test.Just waiting for this matter, Mr. Sheng will return to China to take up another high position, so he will not hold a post in the newly established Nanyang Governor's Mansion.

After establishing the organizational relationship among the crossing people here, a short meeting was held on the ship soon.Next, arrange the soldiers and the fleet.Two days later, Sheng Nan formally notified the Vietnamese court as the plenipotentiary representative of the Ming Dynasty: Three days later, representatives from all walks of life were called in the palace to discuss the issue of sending troops to Siam.

The Vietnamese, who are still nominally "close comrades in arms", naturally cannot stop the fleet from entering the port.

After seeing 2000 "elite soldiers" with muskets disembarking from the boat, they knew that Mingren's waist was hardened this time, so the new owner of Hue agreed to Sheng Nan's request without even stumbling.

Three days later, all relevant parties gathered in the palace of the king.

The so-called "parties" here actually have quite a few.Don't look at Vietnam's superficial unity at the moment, but under the deliberate manipulation of a certain force, the mountain top has been preserved.

First of all, since today's meeting mainly involves diplomacy, the puppet master must be pushed out to support the scene.

Li Weiqi, the young puppet lord of the Houli Dynasty who occupied the throne high in the palace, represented the remnants of the Houli Dynasty that was about to collapse, and was equivalent to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Perhaps he got some news from some secret channel. Li Weiqi, who has long been used to being a clay statue, sat on the stage today, with a rare look in his eyes.

Under the lord of the country, there is the prince Zheng Bing sitting alone on the left, and many civil and military personnel under the prince.These people are the backbone of the new dynasty, and there is no doubt that they are the Vietnamese version of Cao Mengde's party in the seventeenth century.

After that, there is the crossing team sitting on the right hand.

The team is dominated by the bright representative Sheng Nan.

The grinning and responsive Shanda from before has disappeared.Today's Sheng Nan, with soldiers and horses in his hands, his aura became tougher and his attitude became indifferent. He was no longer the one who talked around the corner a few days ago.

In addition to these old acquaintances, next to the crossing teams was an old man in plain robes - Ruan Fuyuan.

This current situation is very similar to Liu Bei Liu Huangshu who lives under the fence.It's just that Zheng Yixiang, Prime Minister Zheng, wants to kill him now, and he won't cook wine with him and talk about heroes.

The previous scene of the Vietnam duo fighting for hegemony was the most unsuitable situation for the interests of the cross-travelers.Because all resources are mobilized to fight each other.However, the strengths of the two sides are similar, and no one will sell it. Outsiders cannot control the situation and steal benefits.

Today, Ruan Fuyuan sits here as a small hill, which is the ideal scene for the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom-the strength has been divided, no matter the winner or the loser, both sides have to provide resources to the big boss, otherwise they will face internal conflicts. The fate of the enemy being overthrown by the boss.

This routine is seen every day in the news of future generations.The big hooligans always have a government-in-exile under their hands, ready to be released at any time to bite the current regime and replace it. This is the US imperialism.

In addition to these few families, there is also a new group of forces in the temple: Zhancheng envoys.

The Champa envoy, wearing a red monk's robe, arrived in Hue only yesterday, which is why the meeting was postponed until today.

Champa is the place where Champa rice is familiar to later generations, and it is located at the southernmost tip of the map of Vietnam.

The Champa Kingdom, which believes in Brahmanism throughout the country, actually established itself as an independent country as early as the 8th century, and it was called the Champa Kingdom at that time.However, over the past few hundred years, Champa has been annexed and occupied by Vietnam.The remaining Champa has now become Vietnam's Jimi state - listen to the tune but not to the announcement.

Of course, this force that always thinks about restoring the country can also be used.

The above are the various forces that appeared in the king's palace today.Among them, the traverser faintly formed an alliance with the three weak families.

In addition, there is another important indigenous force that was not present today: the remnants of the Mo Dynasty.

History says that there are former Han and later Han.Coincidentally: since the current court in Vietnam is called the Hou Le Dynasty, there must be a former Le Dynasty.

History is like a mirror.In the middle of the Le Dynasty, like the Han Dynasty, a subversive regime also appeared: the Mo Dynasty.

The Mo Dynasty existed for a short time, and the first ruler, Mo Dengyong, like Wang Mang, also came to power by usurping the throne.Due to lack of legitimacy, the Mo Dynasty was quickly ousted by the loyal subjects of the Later Le Dynasty.

However, to this day, the remnants of Mo Chao are still entrenched in the Gaoping area at the junction of Vietnam and Daming.

what reason?He hugged Ming Chao's thigh.

During the Jiajing period, in order to consolidate the regime, Mo Dengyong, the newly usurped emperor of the Mo Dynasty, personally went to Zhennanguan in Guangxi with his ministers to ask for surrender from the Ming Dynasty.

The person asked for the seal at Zhennan Pass, with an extremely humble attitude.

You know, at this point in time, Annan has not sent envoys to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years.

Seeing Mo Chao's obedience, the Ming Dynasty, who was in a happy mood, immediately issued an edict to seal Mo Dengyong as the Annan Metropolitan Envoy, Yi Cong Erpin, hereditary, and silver seal.This canonization made Annan theoretically a special zone under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

The Mo Dynasty, like the "Emperor Son", received strong support from the Ming Dynasty, but was quickly ousted from power by the enraged Annan subjects.

For the same reason, after the failure, Mo Chao also received the full protection of Da Ming.The newly established Hou Li Dynasty has always wanted to eradicate the grass and roots, but the Ming government and the opposition did not adhere to the Five Basic Principles at all, and they did not hesitate to make military threats to keep the remnants of the Mo Dynasty.

So things dragged on like this until the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Houli Dynasty was about to come to an end, and the exiled regime of the Mo Dynasty was still eating rice steadily in Gaoping.

Now that the situation of the people from all walks of life has been introduced here, Dayan Kingdom's "subversion of the basic arrangements for Vietnam in a package" has surfaced.
