I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 442 The outrageous Annan people
Yi'an City.

The chief officer of the Third Division of Yi'an Road was shocked to hear the news that the Han soldiers were coming. He was completely confused and didn't know what to do.

The local administrative system of the Later Li Dynasty was completely based on the Ming Dynasty, and the country was divided into thirteen roads, with prefectures, prefectures, and counties under the roads.The three divisions of Du, Cheng, and Xian were juxtaposed, corresponding to the three local divisions of the Ming Dynasty, and became the Thirteen Chengxuan.

Just after Zheng's side was defeated at Hengshan, Han soldiers suddenly crossed the sea and attacked. It's hard not to think of this.

The Han soldiers could not have been borrowed by the Ruan family to help them conquer the Zheng family in the northern expedition and unify the Annan Kingdom.

If you think about it carefully, it's very possible!

After all, the Ruan family has been canonized as King Annan by the Chinese emperor, so the Hou Li Dynasty established by the Zheng family is naturally a puppet dynasty and rebelled.

Now, the Trinh family's Le Dynasty has returned with a great defeat. If the Nguyen family joins forces with the Chinese army at this time, then the Trinh family's Le Dynasty will probably not be saved.

A change of dynasty is imminent.

The Annan officials in Yi'an Road were hesitating whether to surrender or not.

When the Li Dynasty fell, the Zheng family would definitely not end well. After all, the Zheng family was the "real emperor" of the Li Dynasty, but there was no need for local officials like them to be buried with them.

Even if he had to be buried with him, Yi'an didn't have many troops at all. His elite troops had been taken away by Zheng Fan, and the Han soldiers came to attack and destroy the city in minutes.

Moreover, Han soldiers can kill Yi'an, and Qinghua is likely to be in trouble as well.Not to mention whether the Ruan family can win Jiangshan (Annan), as long as the Han soldiers dare to defend the city, they will definitely massacre the city to vent their anger after breaking the city.

After thinking about it, the chief officers of the three divisions of Yi'an Road rarely reached an agreement, and they all felt that Yi'an could not be defended.

However, they did not dare to surrender.

What if the Ruan family has no intention of going north and the Han soldiers just loot and leave?
When Zheng came back to his senses, he would definitely have to liquidate these surrenderers.

Forget it, pretend you don’t know!
We will tell you when the Han soldiers will come to kill you.

What if the Han soldiers don't attack Yi'an City and go to plunder the surrounding counties and towns?

It was agreed that these top military and political officials from Yi'an City, and even the entire Yi'an Road, would live in the Yamen.

Then they did nothing, not even recruiting the young civilians who were guarding the city, nor did Yi'andusi, who was in charge of military affairs, give orders to the defenders. Everyone just waited, waiting for when the Han soldiers would arrive.

These people did not wait long, Xu Jin personally led five thousand Guangxi wolf soldiers to kill Yi'an City first.

A total of five thousand ferocious wolf soldiers, regardless of their combat effectiveness, just this momentum scared the Annan soldiers on the Yi'an city wall to the point where their faces turned pale.

"The Han soldiers are coming, run away!"

Before the Ming army even got close to the moat, the Annan garrison on the city wall dispersed in an instant.

They didn't even have the courage to defend a wave. It wasn't that Annan's soldiers were too weak, but that the chief officer was too deceitful.

The Ming army was so close, but they still refused to surrender without fighting, burying their heads in the ground and pretending to be ostriches, and did not even give any orders to the soldiers.There were not many soldiers in Yi'an City to begin with, and the chief officers were all hiding in the rear. This left these big soldiers to defend the city with hammers!
Xu Jin was still waiting for the artillery to be delivered. He didn't even have time to send people to persuade them to surrender when he saw chaos at the top of Yi'an City.

Although he did not expect this result at all, Xu Jin quickly came to his senses, drew his sword and ordered: "Quick, attack the city with the whole army! Take Yi'an City down to this general."

The city of Yi'an, whose defenders had completely collapsed, was naturally unable to stop the Ming army's offensive. The Ming army did not even need to fill in the moat, but directly stepped on the pontoon bridge that had not been demolished.

In less than half an hour, the Yi'an city wall was taken down.The chief officer of the Third Division of Yi'an Road was captured by Xu Jin's troops from the city's government office: "I'm going down... I'm going down to the country of Annan to pay homage to the general of the Chinese Celestial Dynasty."

These people also spoke Chinese, but with a strong Cantonese accent.

It was really the first time that Xu Jin saw such an outrageous demotion. He neither defended the city nor surrendered. He just locked himself in the Yamen and pretended not to know.

Although Xu Jin was not happy, he still frowned and said: "Get up, everyone! You are the chief officers here. Now immediately assist our army to take over the city, maintain public security, and restore order in the city as much as possible. Our Ming army is not allowed to plunder. This is If anyone dares to make trouble at this time, everyone caught will be chopped directly."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, my subordinates... No, I will definitely handle it."

The chief officers who were roughly picked out by the Ming army breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Han soldiers were outsiders, and they still had to rely on locals like them to govern the place.

After dispersing these outrageous Annan officials, Xu Jin smiled and said: "This time we conquered Yi'an without losing a single soldier, all because Mr. Kang provided the details of the Zheng family in Annan. If not, I am afraid that this general and the Privy Council will still be stupid. Let’s go to Shenglong Mansion first.”

Kang Zifei said: "They are all working for our Ming Dynasty. Right now, we should surrender and control the entire Yi'an Road and Qinghua Road as soon as possible. Then the army will go north again and go straight to Shenglong Mansion. As long as the Zheng family and the puppet Li Kingdom can be captured, this Annan It’s settled.”

Xu Jin nodded: "That's right. The army will rest here for three days and then go north to find out the news about Qinghua. After three days, regardless of whether Qinghua has been captured or not, we must immediately go north."

The Ming army did not have much time, only a month or two.

The Zheng family cannot be wiped out within a month or two. Even if the rainy season does not come, there will be a big typhoon along the coast.

Moreover, even now, before the rainy season arrives, the climate here in Annan is already very uncomfortable.Fortunately, two-thirds of Xu Jin's army were Wolf soldiers from Guangxi, and the remaining one-third of the Han soldiers had stayed in Guangdong and Guangxi for more than a year. The military doctors also prepared Luzon fruit and other antipyretic medicines in advance. drug.

……

But it was said that Zheng Fan, Zheng Gang and his son fled back to Shenglong Mansion with the remaining defeated generals in a hurry, and they did not even have time to clean up the rebellious officials in the government and the public who were ready to make a move.

Zheng Fan immediately summoned six ministers to discuss the affairs: "Han soldiers have landed in Thanh Hoa and Nghe An. Can Lang Son Town still be safe?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of War, who belongs to the Zheng clan, quickly replied: "There is no news yet, but the official has sent people to Lang Son and Gaoping to order them to take precautions."

After hearing this, Zheng Fan still had an ugly face: "No, it's too late. Immediately send an order to Gaoping Town to ask the Gaoping garrison to come back. Then immediately send an order to Beihe and transfer Beihe's soldiers and horses back to Shenglong Mansion."

After hearing Zheng Fan's order, not only the six ministers, but also Zheng Fan's son Zheng Gang was surprised: "Father..."

Zheng Fan waved his hand to interrupt: "No need to say more, I have made up my mind. The Ministry of Revenue immediately took out all the money and food from the treasury and handed it over to the Ministry of War to recruit troops. The city of Tokyo (Shenglong Prefecture) must not be broken!"

Lang Son and Caoping are both important towns in northern Annam. The former defends Guangxi and the latter defends Yunnan.

Caoping and Lang Son are full of mountainous areas, and conquering them is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also thankless.

As for Beihe, it was the feudal state of the Zheng family.

Although the Zheng family held Emperor Li hostage to order Annan, they did not really usurp the throne, so they had their own feudal territory.

Zheng Fan was really scared. He was not afraid of Han soldiers coming from the north, because in the mountainous areas of the north, as long as he defended them tightly, he could at least knock out two rows of teeth from the Han soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the Han soldiers did not follow the routine and came over by sea, and directly cut off their retreat.

　In the second year of Hongde's reign, the land was occupied as Guangnan Chengxuan, and the Chengxuan and Ancha divisions were first established. Thirteen Xuan divisions were combined, and the three divisions of Du, Cheng, and Xian were established.In the autumn of that year, the official system of the imperial dynasty was revised, and officials such as Xiangguo, Pingzhang, and Pushe were dismissed. Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, Shaoshi, Ensign, Shaofu, and Shaobao were given the important positions of civil and military ministers.Wenze Liubu, Liusi, Liuke, Yushitai Hanlin Academy, Dongge, Guozijian, Zhongshujian, Guoshiyuan, Fuyin, Gongshifu (i.e. Donggongguan), Sitianjian, Imperial Hospital, Secretary Jian, The Zhongshu Supervisor and the Chinese Language Supervisor are internally appointed mechanical staff.The yamen of Chengxian, Prefecture, County, and Prefecture held foreign propaganda, picket, and people-friendly positions, as well as agricultural and river embankment officials.Wu Ze's five palace guards include two guards, four service guards, four Shenwu guards (front, back, left, and right), six guards in front of the palace, four elephant taming guards, and four horse and leisure guards.The Wei Station, Du Si, and Jianghai Inspection were appointed as external guard and control positions.At that time, there were Confucian commanders in each guard, and the midfielders who were selected from the civil service examination were selected to serve as responsibilities.
