Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 545

The Annan Metropolitan Commander is actually the Annan Kingdom.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict, listing [-] countries as countries that would not be subject to conquest, including the Annan Kingdom. Zhu Yuanzhang did not want excessive expansion to bring about war.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, it was difficult for Zhu Dijing to seize the throne. At that time, Vietnam was at the end of the Chen Dynasty, and the powerful officials controlled the government and massacred the Chen Dynasty's clan.A surviving clan of the Chen Dynasty fled to Daming and asked for help from the suzerain. Emperor Yongle sent envoys to question Annan. As a result, the power minister Hu was so bold that he dared to kill the Ming envoy, and then attacked the Ming.

Is this still available?

Yongle was furious, and sent the famous general Zhang Fu to lead the army to the south. Zhang Fu lived up to the emperor's expectations, and Annan was pacified in World War I, so Daming set up the Jiaozhi Chief Envoy in Annan, which was tantamount to formally bringing Annan into the rule and setting it as an administrative division. Province.

However, the Cochin Chief Commissioner was established for a total of 21 years before giving up. The Annan people rebelled year after year, and coupled with the pressure from northern Mongolia at that time, Ming finally chose to give up.

Daming was forced to recognize the post-Li dynasty established by Li Li, and Li Li continued to regard Daming as the suzerain and continued to pay tribute to Daming.

However, many years later, the Hou Le Dynasty was also in chaos, and the power minister Mo Dengyong also took the opportunity to control the government, seized power and usurped the throne, and established the Vietnamese Mo Dynasty.

However, the Mo family was unpopular. Yuan Gan, the former right guard general of the Li Dynasty, fled to Ailao, and found the youngest son of Li Aizong and made him emperor. It was for Li Zhuangzong to fight against the Mo family in Qinghua in the south.

Later, the Lizhuang sect sent envoys to Beijing to ask Emperor Jiajing to crusade against the usurped Mo family.

The next year, Emperor Jiajing appointed Qiu Luan as the governor, Mao Bowen as the military affairs counselor, stationed troops at Nanguan, and prepared to enter Vietnam and attack Mo.Under the pressure of soldiers, the Supreme Emperor Mo Dengyong sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to surrender, and dedicated the Annan land book and household registration to Daming.

Mo Dengyong and dozens of ministers bound themselves and knelt down, and entered Zhennanguan to ask the officials of the Ming Dynasty to surrender.

The Ming Dynasty followed suit and demoted Anguonan to the Annan Metropolitan Commander, the subordinate country to the territory, and changed its thirteen departments to the Xuanfu Division, each with Xuanfu and Tongzhi.

The Mo clan was the envoy of the capital of Annan, ranked second rank, hereditary, and paid a tribute every three years.

In name, Annan re-entered the territory of Ming Dynasty.

From then on, the Mo clan paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but continued to call himself Emperor Jianyuan internally.

Decades later, the Houli Dynasty in the south was restored, and the Li Dynasty was rejuvenated.The Li Dynasty sent envoys to Beijing to request the reinstatement of the canonization of King Annan, but the Ming Dynasty still only granted the Li family the title of Annan Metropolitan Commander on the grounds that the situation was not stable, and also asked the Li Dynasty to reinstate the Mo family's possessions such as Gaoping and Taiyuan. Let it be the descendants of the Mo family.

Although the Hou Li Dynasty was unwilling, it did not dare to offend Daming, so Annan has not returned to the country until now, and is still the Annan Metropolitan Commander of Daming's territory.

Even outside the Houli Dynasty, there was another Gaoping land in the northwest where the Mo family had been separatist.

And the Hou Li Dynasty was not stable either, the restoration of the Hou Li Dynasty depended entirely on the Ruan family, and the Hou Li Dynasty was able to defeat the Mo family and re-enter the Thang Long Mansion thanks to General Zheng Song.

Zheng Song himself served as Marshal of the capital, the general of the country, and his father, King Pingan, who held the military and political power, and his status was hereditary, so he was called Lord Zheng, while Emperor Li was only responsible for hearing the government and receiving envoys, so the Li family was the emperor and the Zheng family was in power.

It has a taste of the emperor of Japan and the shogun.

The south is completely controlled by the Ruan family, and Ruan Gan had the merits of supporting the restoration back then.Later, after Ruan Gan passed away, his son Ruan Huang saw that Zheng Jian was jealous of him, so he invited him out of the town of Hue.

After Ruan Huang returned to Hue, he assisted Zheng Song in sweeping up the Mo family's forces, but he was still suspected by Zheng Song. It happened that officials from the DPRK and China were attacking Zheng Song who had seized power. Guangnan, control the south, and then marry his daughter to Zheng Song's son. When Zheng Song reacts, a confrontation between Ruan and Zheng has formed.

Since then, the two sides have experienced several battles, but no one can do anything to the other.

So the Zheng family hijacked the emperor to control the government in the north, known as the Zheng family, and the Ruan family ruled in the south, known as the Ruan Lord.

In addition to the Mo family who ruled in the northwest, the small Annan country is also shallow and full of kings.

However, although the north and the south confront each other and fight each other, Zheng Ruan also develops with all his strength. On the contrary, Annan is a rare period of prosperity. The Ruan family in the south followed the example of the West, setting up a cannon foundry, establishing a navy, and building a firearms army. The army has a strong combat effectiveness. Going south, they destroyed the Champa Kingdom and captured the Mekong Delta of the Gaomian people.

In the north, there is actually another separatist force.

It is the Xuanguang Wu family.

After Mo Dengyong usurped the throne, Wu Wenyuan, an old minister of the Houli Dynasty, took advantage of the Dengyong Rebellion to support Xuanguang, supported tens of thousands of troops, and asked Daming for help.

Wu's actions were recognized by the Hou Li Dynasty.

During the period when the Later Li Dynasty was still partial to Qinghua in the south, Wu Wenmi, the leader of the Wu family at that time, was specially granted the title of Xuanguang'an for his leadership of the righteous army and his meritorious service. He was asked to guard the Xuanguang area. Beiying Jiaguo Duke Wu Wenmi.

The Annan people later also called it the Xuanguang Dynasty or the Longping Dynasty.

When the Mo family was destroyed in the Later Li Dynasty, several generations of the Wu family had contributed a lot. Not long after the Mo family was destroyed, Wu Degong led three thousand people from his headquarters to Beijing to meet and submit to the imperial court.

Zheng Song, who was in power, also promoted Wu Degong to be the right governor of the Northern Army's governor's office, the Taibaohe County Duke, named Anbeiying. After getting Zheng Song's consent, he returned to Datong to continue guarding.

But Wu Degong presumptuously claimed the title of king, claiming to be the king of Longping, and blatantly opposed Li.

Although the Wu family rebelled against Li, colluded with the Mo family, and usurped the title of king, there was still a separatist regime in the south of the Ruan family, which was a confidant enemy, so Hou Li had always tolerated the Wu family. Although he had sent troops to crusade, but As long as they beg for mercy and plead guilty, they are still allowed to continue guarding Xuanguang.

After Wu Degong's death, his son Wu Gongyi succeeded to the throne, and the Later Li Dynasty granted Shaofu Zongjun Duke.

"The Wu family also sent someone here?"

"Well, the Wu family in Xuanguang Town, Annan also sent people to pay tribute, and they want to get the title of the imperial court."

Zhu Yihai could not help but sneer twice after hearing this.

The current situation in Annan is indeed quite interesting. The emperor of the Houli Dynasty is just a tool man. He was scrambled by those powerful officials, and they all wanted to coerce the emperor to make the princes.

For example, the Mo family usurped the throne and seized the dynasty. Although they were defeated later, they separatist the Gaoping area, which is close to Zhennan Pass of the Ming Dynasty, and paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

And the Wu family in Xuanguang Town is even more interesting. They used to live as loyal ministers and raised troops against Mo. In the end, they separated Xuanguang Town in the upper reaches of the Red River and often invaded Taiyuan.

Zhu Yihai also knew about Annan's current situation before. Generally speaking, Annan has a large population. When it was conquered in the early Ming Dynasty, it was counted as 320 million households, and there were many barbarians.

And after more than two hundred years, they have conquered east and west, destroyed Champa, seized a lot of land in Khmer, and annexed the fertile Mekong Delta, which greatly increased the population.

Ruan cooperated with the Dutch in the south, not only hired the Dutch as the Royal Forest Army, but also hired them as instructors, established firearms troops, built naval divisions, and even launched maritime trade, etc. The economy developed well.

Although the Zheng family has not been strong these years, there are still two separatist towns in the backyard, the Mo family and the Wu family, and there is an increasingly powerful Ruan family in the south, but with the help of Annan's narrow and long terrain, they built a fortress and barely held it. .

It is said that Annan and other forces had previously sent people to Beijing to congratulate and request canonization, but the Tartars ignored it.

Now that they heard about Ming Dynasty Zhongxing, they all came to pay tribute, and they all wanted to get Zhu Yihai's canonization certification.

However, each of these four has different needs.

For example, the Mo family relied on Daming's protection to gain a firm foothold in the Gaoping area. If it wasn't for Da Ming's protection, they would have been wiped out by the Zheng family long ago. If you want to be King Annan or the commander-in-chief of Annan, you will be satisfied if you continue to maintain the status quo.

The Wu family, who claimed to be the King of Longping, hoped that Daming could confer them the title of King of Longping, and made it clear that they would split off and not do anything. Of course, if Da Ming refused, then it would be good to take a step back and confer on him as the Commander-in-Chief of Longping as well.

Of course, the Zheng family wanted to get the canonization of King Annan, and in the end they could get Daming's promise not to shelter the Mo family, so that they could eradicate this cancer.

The Ruan family's needs are different, they are more pragmatic, and there is still a Zheng family away from Daming, so they came this time, in fact, they want to start all-round trade cooperation. A lot, they only collected more than 8000 guan of import tax on merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, they were still entrusted by the Dutch, and they wanted to connect with the Dutch, so that Daming could negotiate with the Dutch again, regarding the issue of Daming encircling the Dutch castle in Taiwan and blocking the Dutch route northward to Japan.

Of course, if Daming is really willing to support the Ruan family to replace the Zheng family, of course they are more willing, even if they pay some price.

In short, the four Annan families have their own thoughts.

For this nominal territory, Zhu Yihai has no spare power to seize it now, but he is still willing to use some means to intervene in order to gain some benefits.

Thinking about the three generations of Zhu Di, who conquered and guarded Annan and set up a chief envoy, they fought for more than 20 years and lost countless soldiers. It can be said that Xuanzong finally gave up, which was also a helpless move.

At that time, the Ming army still crushed Annan militarily, but the political methods were not good enough. They directly set up provinces, which led to a full-scale resistance of the Annan people. Really merged into Daming.

"Since they are all here, let them all participate in the court meeting and banquet." Zhu Yihai confessed.

"Will the Wu family also let you participate?"

"Well, the visitor is a guest!"

In the eyes of Emperor Hou Li, the Gaoping Mo family and the Xuanguang Wu family are all rebels, and the Ruan family in the south is even more rebellious, but in fact, the Zheng family is not a usurper of power.

In Zhu Yihai's eyes, Annan's territory is only in name only, so whether there is any rebellion against him, the more chaos, the better. After a while, you will feel dizzy and come to the side.

This time the four families came to the door together, still begging Daming, Zhu Yihai can let go of the opportunity, there must be some meat.
