Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 462 Southeast Asia Battlefield

When the fourth brother and the seventeenth brother were cutting melons and vegetables on the Northeast battlefield, no one could stop them.

At this time, the seventh brother Zhu Shu and the twelfth brother Zhu Bai also led the army to the southwest.

And when they rushed to the border of Guangxi, someone greeted them in advance.

"I would like to report to you two princes that the Duke of Guizhou asked me to wait here and tell you something."

The Duke of Guizhou is also Mu Chun.

Zhu Shu said nonchalantly: "If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have something to say, just fart."

He's quite a straight-tempered man with a bad temper.

The man gave a wry smile, but did not dare to disobey the prince's order, so he could only say: "The Duke of Guizhou obeys your majesty's will. In order to help the two princes successfully conquer the Southeast Asian countries, he has prepared the latest firearms for the two princes in advance. Please follow me." Come over here."

In a city near Huguang and Guangdong in Guangxi, a large courtyard is filled with artillery, guns and ammunition.

But there is no way, who can't call Zhu Zhanji's grandson?

Zhu Shu opened his mouth. He wanted to say, I always thought that I was arrogant enough, but I didn't expect that there was someone more arrogant than me?

"Very good, very good. With these firearms, I will let those South Vietnamese monkeys learn a lot," Zhu Su said with a sneer.

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde looked at each other.

Is this the plan to disperse the entire 500,000-strong army and start the war on multiple fronts?

It is a pity that although the Song Dynasty ended the troubled times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was unable to take back Annan.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified South Vietnam and reunified China.

Therefore, Zhu Shu felt that the Battle of Annan should not be underestimated. How could he dare to be so arrogant?
He had never seen the power of firearms, so he didn't understand Feng Sheng's confidence.

Later, during the Qianlong period, the Battle of Annan took place, and it was included in the Shiquan Martial Arts, so that he was complacent about it.

Especially those tens of thousands of guns. I originally thought they were fire sticks, but I didn't expect them to be more terrifying firearms than fire blunderbuss.

Do you want to simply divide the troops into 500,000 troops? One person per unit?
Have you made a mistake? I haven't had enough of being a general yet. Do you want me to divide my troops?
Mainly because Feng Sheng's words were too outrageous.

Dare you give up your country?

Since Zhu Chu mobilized 100,000 guns from Yunnan and followed Shen Rong's convoy to Beijing, Zhu Chu also continued to have Yongchang Prefecture produce a large number of weapons.

Annan's predecessor was the Nanyue Kingdom. When the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, Annan was also part of the Central Plains.

Even Feng Sheng had never seen the power of those bolt-action rifles.

What kind of rule of benevolence and xuan is a piece of shit.

Zhu Shu naturally did his part.

Just in time now.

Zhu Shu and Zhu Bai looked at each other.

Zhu Shu was a vassal in Qingzhou. I had never seen this before.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was successfully recovered for a time, but there were repeated rebellions. During the Zhu Zhanji period, due to successive unfavorable wars, Zhu Zhanji actually gave up.

Everyone in Zhu Shu was dumbfounded.

But later, with the chaos in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Nanyue Kingdom took the opportunity to become independent. Its main sphere of influence was in the Lingnan region and northern Annan today.

Did he just give up?

Until these people sent by Muchun showed it to the generals.

Dare you try to invent this cannon in the hinterland of the Central Plains?
Do you want to blast the emperor to heaven?
It can only be done secretly because of its remote location.

But just as he was about to speak, he looked at the group of veteran generals surrounding him, thought for a moment and said, "I wonder what you generals have to say?"

"Then we will send troops at the same time to attack Nanzhang, Siam, Ava, and Bago respectively. We will not give them a chance to react. We will kill them all before they want to unite to resist."

This is also the reason why Zhu Chu has always said that establishing virtuous and capable people is far more important than establishing direct descendants and establishing longevity.

Feng Sheng and other generals who had seen the power of artillery naturally recognized this sentence.

You know, since Annan broke away during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (yes, Annan was once a part of us), all dynasties have actually wanted to recover it.

"In this case, I'm afraid we are indeed divided," Zhu Bai also said.

Unfortunately, the Troubles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms happened again, and Annan ran away again.

My heart says that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and it is wild to play in remote areas.

"Here is only half. The other half is still in the warehouse of Yongchang Mansion, and we are still working overtime to make it."

Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhu Su to call South Vietnamese monkeys.

If you just say this, I am afraid that the old people in Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan will not be happy.

But as mentioned before, Lingnan was the place of exile in the Song Dynasty. In fact, everyone is from the Central Plains and we are all one family (dog heads save lives).

"Then let me say something," Feng Sheng coughed lightly and said: "The small country of Annan is not something to be afraid of. And with the powerful firearms that His Majesty worked hard to create to clear the way, there is no need to mobilize troops. Now we have an army of 500,000, but There is no need to be cautious, just an army of 50,000 people can wipe out Ping'annan in one fell swoop."

"In that case, it's up to you, seventh brother, to make the arrangements," Zhu Bai said humbly with a smile.

The man continued to Zhu Su and Zhu Bai: "At the same time, Duke Qian suggested to the two princes that they divide their forces and attack them. According to your Majesty's estimation of these firearms, they are enough to destroy all the enemy's cities. In this case, there is no need for hundreds of thousands. The army is all gathered together, and Annan is not like this."

Then the two kings looked at Feng Sheng and Fu Youde together, and the latter two called Guo Ying, Geng Bingwen, and Song Sheng together.

But don't forget that Guo Ying and the others are now honored as Dukes of the country.

Now the five great princes came together to discuss with the two princes.

It was finally decided to divide the troops into seven groups.

Aren’t there two kings and five princes?

Then each of the two kings will receive one, and each of the five princes will receive one.

Annam, Nanjang, Siam, Ava, Bago, Assam and Bengal, let's all work together.

In fact, Assam is another name for the Dai people. It was first recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" compiled by Xuanzang of China, and was called the "Kamalubo Kingdom".

Don’t forget, Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty traveled to the Western Regions, and his destination was Tianzhu.

However, Assam at this time was not the Kingdom of Tianzhu, which was a state in India in later generations, but the Ahom Kingdom established by the Dai people, also known as the Ahong Kingdom during the regime.

The current full name of Bangladesh is the Sultanate of Bangladesh.

It is said that the earliest residents of Bangladesh were Asian-Australians. Later, Mongolians who spoke the Tibeto-Burman language came from the northeast, and then Aryans mixed with the Dravidians moved in. After a long period of integration, these people , gradually formed today's Bengalis.

At this time, regardless of anything else, this group of people is really bold.

They actually planned to attack the entire Southeast Asian countries together.

Even the people sent by Muchun are all black. Is this going to be a big carnival?

But in fact, if you look at the world map, even if you add up all these places, without counting Tianzhu, or later India, the sum of all these countries is comparable to, or even less than, the Mongolian grassland.

Feng Sheng and the others had just come back from the battle in the Mongolian grassland. This army of 500,000 people was hungry and thirsty.

Who hasn’t seen a big scene?
It's over once the fight begins.

So that's really what they planned.

First, Zhu Shu led Feng Sheng to separate half of the army. Without going into details, the generals under his command took away the weapons and equipment prepared by Muchun's people. They left Guangxi Siming Mansion, invaded Annan, and then rushed to Nanzhang. At the same time, they also Send troops straight to Siam.

In fact, Annam is Vietnam, Nanzhang is Laos, and Siam is naturally Thailand.

Further south there is Cambodia, which now belongs to the period of the Kingdom of Angkor. However, the Kingdom of Angkor has reached an advanced stage, so there is nothing to fear. It will be conquered in one fell swoop when the time comes.

At the same time, Zhu Bai and Fu Youde led other tribes to continue marching to Yunnan, preparing to go to Yongchang Prefecture to pick up another part of the equipment and firearms. At the same time, they took the Nujiang Bridge, exited Yingjiang County, and directly attacked Ava, Bago, and Assam. with Bangladesh.

Ava and Bago are today's Myanmar. They originally belonged to one country, known as the Bagan Dynasty.

Later, the Bagan dynasty was overthrown by the Mongol Empire and gradually fell into pieces. Today, two dynasty regimes exist at the same time.

As the Ming army began to penetrate deep into the southwest, the war began to break out.

The first was King Annan. When the Ming army bombarded several cities, he received the news and was immediately shocked.

what happened? Why did the Ming army attack us?
Is there any misunderstanding?
"Is there any misunderstanding? Lord, please run quickly. It will be too late if you run any further." The ministers surrounded the king and ran towards the south.

Even the king ran away. It is conceivable that Annan had almost no fighting spirit, especially when faced with the terrifying artillery in the hands of the Ming army, he was completely unable to parry.

And Nanzhang, they were the second to suffer.

However, because the capital of Nanzhang was in the south, unlike the capital of Annan, which was in Hanoi, it was too close to the Ming Dynasty. However, the King of Nanzhang was horrified to find that the Ming army was simply unstoppable and actually captured more than a dozen cities in a few days. He had no choice but to send an envoy to ask for surrender.

It is a pity that this army received Zhu Zhen's death order from the beginning. They had only one goal, which was to destroy the country.

Note that only destroying the country does not destroy the species.

Want to surrender? Yes, but I don’t want you to become a vassal. What I want is for Nanzhang to destroy the country and become a province of the Ming Dynasty.

The King of Nanzhang naturally refused.

So the Ming army marched straight in, and finally broke through the palace and completely destroyed the Nanzhang Kingdom.

When the Ming army attacked Siam, some interesting things happened.

For example, Siam is also called the Eight Hundred Dadian Xuanweisi. It is said that the King of Siam has eight hundred daughters-in-law, and each daughter-in-law is a country, known as the Eight Hundred Daughters-in-law Country.

Even the history of the Xinyuan Dynasty records that "the barbarians with eight hundred daughters-in-law were named Jingmai".

It can be seen that these eight hundred wives are indeed tough.

However, no matter how tough they were, they were no match for the cannons and muskets of the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, Zhu Su personally escorted hundreds of "daughter-in-laws" to the King of Siam.

At that time, the King of Siam was sleeping with a group of beauties as beautiful as flowers and jade in his arms.

Good guy, why are you just pointing your fingers at your daughter-in-law to govern the country?
Zhu Su was the most irritable and killed Siam with a single blow.

Zhu Bai then personally went into battle and led the army to sweep across Ava and Bago in one fell swoop, removing the names of the two so-called kings and helping them regain their unity.

People are weird.

However, Fu Youde encountered trouble when he led his army to attack Bengal and Assam, but it was not a bad thing, but a joyful trouble.

The first is the Assamese people. As mentioned before, they are actually the regime established by the Dai people.

When the Ming army approached the city, the Dai people not only did not resist at all, but welcomed the Ming army with tears of joy.

"We can finally go home."

The Dai people sang, danced and cheered.

The main reason is that in the past few years, their ears have been filled with Zhu Chu's virtuous reputation. They heard that every family in Yunnan now has their own land, has already had a good harvest, and has lived a well-off life, and they have long wanted to go back. .

However, because Silunfa had launched the Dingbian War before, they were worried that Zhu Zhen would be angry with them.

Because the Luchuan Kingdom was also a political period established by the Dai people, Silunfa was actually the leader of the Dai people.

So they never dared to see Zhu Zhen.

Now it was thought that Zhu Zhen was finally coming to accept them, which was a joy.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were dumbfounded, because even their king surrendered happily, even if he said that he wanted to remove the country's title.

As for?
But later Fu Youde learned the truth.

It turns out that although they are also Dai people, Assam, that is, the Ahong Kingdom, was once conquered by the Luchuan Kingdom.

Because the names alone can easily confuse people, so I won’t go into details.

All in all, the Ahong Kingdom was originally a vassal of the Luchuan Kingdom.

After that, Luchuan first surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and was later destroyed by Zhu Zhen himself.

So nominally speaking, the king of the Ahong Kingdom believed that he was Zhu Chu's minister, so he had no psychological burden.

Secondly, it is not easy for the Ahom Kingdom. Bangladesh on one side and the Delhi Sultanate on the other both have to use troops against it.

Even if he doesn't come tomorrow, he will still plan to surrender to others.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is here, there is naturally no second choice. Decisively surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is the best choice.

So Fu Youde couldn't laugh or cry, so he easily surrendered the Assam area.

In addition, Bangladesh is the same and must surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

The reason was that they were no match for the Delhi Sultanate either.

Now that one side is the Ming Dynasty and the other side is the Delhi Sultanate, and Assam has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, I don't know what choice to make.

So just like that, Fu Youde won an inexplicable victory without any bloodshed.

Are you kidding me? Others are making great achievements, but what have you become?
Fortunately, the army of the Delhi Sultanate arrived soon, and they dared to make noise outside the city.

How could Fu Youde be so polite? He directly led an army of 100,000 people, mounted his horse, and rushed out while raising his lance and shooting.

Before the people arrived, the muskets destroyed row after row of enemy troops.

No one in Delhi had ever seen this, and they were immediately chased away.

Fu Youde refused to withdraw his troops, but pursued the fleeing enemy troops all the way and killed them directly through Delhi.

Yes, it is Delhi in India.

Because there have been five dynasties here, and all of them established their capitals in Delhi, it was called the Delhi Sultanate.

By the time Fu Youde came to his senses, India had been captured.

It's not that the enemy is weak, it's that our army is too strong.

Facing the Ming army's cannons and muskets that reduced dimensionality, in this era, no country can stand a chance of fighting.

Even the ancient city walls were vulnerable to artillery.

Therefore, a round of artillery or rifle volleys from the Ming army often knocks the enemy off their feet and loses any fighting spirit.

When more than half, or even more than a third or a quarter, of the casualties were killed or wounded, the enemy army collapsed and had no morale at all.

In fact, since ancient times, the combat effectiveness of Southeast Asia has been very average. Regardless of environmental factors, almost anyone who dares to attack them will surrender.

For example, in today's India, the so-called Delhi Sultanate is the collective name for the five dynasties established here by Turks and Afghans.

But it has nothing to do with the local Indians. They are just mascots who lie down and are ravaged by others.

Even in history, after the fall of the Timur Empire, Babur, a descendant of Timur, established the Mughal Empire in India. In its heyday, its territory included almost the entire South Asian subcontinent and Afghanistan, until foreign powers began to enter During the Age of Discovery and competition for colonies, they were defeated by the British and then established British India.

You can imagine how easy the battle here is.

But a war is a war after all, and the death toll is real.

Assam and Bengal surrendered faster than Fu Youde could have imagined, so the death toll was almost zero.

Throughout the Southeast Asian battlefield, the death toll this time exceeded one million.

After all, there are so many countries. If one country has hundreds of thousands of dead, and considering that India is such a large area, a million is not too much.

(The author goes too far.)
Well, at least including the Battle of Korea Island and two of Zhu Di's three attacks on the Jurchens, the Ming army has killed a million enemies in total.

This also allows Zhu Zhen to easily gain millions of force points while sitting on the Dragon Throne in the capital.

It just so happened that he was about to break through the foundation building stage and needed the training techniques for the next stage of the golden elixir stage. Wasn't this a pillow given to him when he was dozing off?

Because this army almost acted together with the Northeast Campaign, the good news was subsequently sent to the capital at the end of June.

When Zhu Chuzhao announced to the world that the ancient Kingdom of Tianzhu and other countries were now owned by the Ming Dynasty, everyone was immediately shocked.

In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to hack him again, Zhu Ming also used the official newspaper of the Ming Dynasty to explain.

Zhu Ming explained that in the future, there will no longer be a custodial system or a chieftain system. Instead, the court will send officials to govern the local areas. Those places are not tribute-paying vassals, but our Ming Dynasty territory and need to pay taxes.

In addition, Zhu Ming also stated that he would let the feudal king go to govern the place and there would be no capricious rebellion.

At the same time, Zhu Zheng took this opportunity to once again publicize, why should the imperial examination be held every year in the future?

You can take the exam with confidence. As long as you have the ability, you will not have to worry about being useless.

The world is so big and there are so many places to employ people.

So no one dared to question Zhu Zhen anymore.

At the same time, Zhu Chu did not forget the north, but wrote to his third brother Zhu Fan and his thirteenth brother Zhu Gui.

"Two brothers, it's time for you guys to get to work. Before the autumn harvest in Siberia, shoot them down for me. Bring me all the children on the Mongolian grassland and conquer the entire Siberia region."

By that time, after Zhu Di captures the Barbarian Jurchens, the entire northern part of the Ming Dynasty, not just the Mongolian grasslands, but the entire territory will no longer have hidden dangers, and will all be part of the Ming Dynasty territory.

Then there are only the Middle East and Africa, and the entire European continent.
