Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

On the seventh day of February in the 45th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, Ruan Fuqin, the righteous leader of Guangnan, died of illness in Hue due to depression, and was buried in Changmao Mausoleum. ).The first thing the young and energetic Nguyen Phuc Hoi did after he came to power was to abolish the "Bo Chen Treaty" signed with Ming Zheng during the Nguyen Phuc Than period, and re-declared suzerainty over Ha Tien, Jia Dinh, Bien Hoa, and My Tho.Although this action was only of symbolic significance, it still aroused Ming Zheng's displeasure, but at this time Zheng Jun was fighting the Qing Army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he had no time to take care of the remote Guangnan for the time being.

Although Ming Zheng didn't respond immediately, Bintong Longren, who didn't get any benefits in the "Treaty of Boshin", seemed a little eager to try.Bintong Long Wang Pozheng () obtained the tacit consent of the Cam Ranh Governor's Mansion to continue to sell armored firearms, and then announced to the outside world shortly after the rainy season began in June of that year to resume the use of the country name of Champa and sent troops to Guda (Nha Trang) The homeland of Champa, which was invaded by Guangnan.

Ruan Phuc Hoi, who felt offended by Champa's attempt to send troops to expand its territory when the ruler was in doubt, was furious, and immediately disregarded the objections of his ministers and mobilized an elite army of [-] troops to attack the Champa.But over the years, Bin Tonglong obtained a lot of armor and firearms by renting the Renlan area to Ming Zheng and selling rice, sandalwood, betel nut, lead, polo hemp, sucrose, buffalo, etc. Looks evenly matched.

However, the Guangnan people have experienced the test of civil war for many years, and their combat power is naturally superior to that of the Champa. Therefore, after a series of battles, the Champa, who won first and then lost, had to return the recaptured land to Guangnan. people.

Finally, at the end of November of that year, Nguyen Phuc Hoi's army advanced to Bin Dong Long Citadel

Looking around now, the only one who can save the fate of Pozheng and Champa is the Jinlan Governor's Mansion in Mingzheng.

"My lord, please send troops to rescue Champa." The Champa aristocrat named oknhadat (oknhadat) prostrated himself in front of Cai Tong, pleading with tears streaming down his face. Speaking from the perspective of a Champa, he analyzed it for Cai Tong. "If you don't send troops, Champa will be completely destroyed. At that time, Guangnan's army can sweep Jiading, Haxian and other places, and turn around and besiege Jinlan."

"I agree with the general's words, but I have already received the transfer order, and I will go to Yazhou to serve as the magistrate in a few days, so it is really powerless to transfer troops to fight at this time." Cai Tong shook his head helplessly. . "I can only wrong General Wu Yata to wait patiently in Jinlan for the new commander to deal with."

"Bin Tonglong can't last that long." Wu Yatita moaned in pain. "Master Dudu, there is an old saying in your country, you must stop the plane and never let it go again. Once Bin Tonglong is lost, it will be too late."

"Too late?" Liu Ye, who replaced Cai Tong, had actually arrived in Jinlan, but he was still hiding it from the Champa. "I don't think it's too late. Champa is a thousand-year-old country. It's easy to destroy a country, but it's hard to perish. The people of Guangnan are inevitably trapped in the mud. If we attack again at that time, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Liu Ye looked at the people present. A few people had a smile on their faces. "Let's talk about it. If the Bintong dragon does not perish, how can we have the nerve to swallow Jinlan?"

"The governor's words are correct, but it would be better to transfer the troops of Yan Jiu and Chen Shangchuan a few days earlier." Sun Miao, the commander of the third regiment of Hailongxiang Division, was born in the Jiayin period of the boy camp like Liu Ye. With the rapid expansion of Zheng Kezang, they, the earliest descendants of Zheng Kezang, are also taking command positions as the backbone of the Zheng army. "In case, as that house tooth tart said, the Guangnan Army just rushed towards us regardless of the safety of the place after destroying Bin Tonglong, we can deal with it."

"People have been sent to transfer troops, but Chen Shangchuan can only transfer 500 people, Yang Yandi can only transfer 400 people, and Mo Jiu's side is only 500 people." Cai Tong replied. "It seems that we have to rely on ourselves in the final analysis, but I don't know if one or two of the Lu divisions in Qiongzhou can be transferred now."

"One or two divisions? You are quite courageous, but unfortunately you don't have a big appetite." Looking at the young man standing straight in front of him, Zheng Bin, who is the commander of the Ministry of War and the supervisor of the military affairs in southern Guangdong, said something. What made Cai Tong dumbfounded. "The Shilu Iron Mine is about to be mined, and there is a great shortage of labor. The Guangnan people have sent such a large amount of labor on their own initiative. How can I refuse to accept it?"

Mao Hongyan on the side laughed even more: "Master Superintendent's words are even reasonable. Instead of spending a lot of money to buy sea-species Kunlun slaves, it is better to use captives from Guangnan as a substitute. It is a good way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Wen Guangnan's Tianzi soldiers are quite strong, and it would be a lot of work if they want to come to mines and build roads."

"Since Deputy Commander Mao also agrees, then four divisions will be transferred this time." Zheng Bin shifted his gaze to the face of the governor Lu Xuefang on the other side. "Master Lu has no objection to this?"

"With the Qiongzhou Squadron sealing off the sea, the Qing prisoners are unable to cross the sea for the time being, so it's okay to send troops to teach Guangnan a lesson at this time." Lu Xuefang thought for a moment before answering. "It's just that soldiers entering the mainland to plunder the population and thus shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty are the current priority of this domain. It is better not to put the cart before the horse, Lord Superintendent and Deputy Commander Mao."

"Lord Lu reminded you." Of course Zheng Bin understood Lu Xuefang's cryptic hint, so he looked back at Mao Hongyan. "Deputy General Mao must make a quick decision and fight quickly. Don't just chase death and chase the north. If Guangnan is really wiped out, it may not be the vassal that benefits."

On December [-]th, after more than half a month of siege, Lord Ruan's army finally entered Bintong Dragon City. Po Zheng threw himself into the flames after killing his wives and concubines and setting fire to the palace. Most of the Bintong Dragon nobles also chose He died with the city, and only Posaktiraydapatih, the younger brother of Po Zheng, broke out.The Guangnan army who invaded Bintong Dragon City not only failed to put out the fire, but plundered the city wantonly. In this way, the last capital of the Champa clan was turned into a burning place.

After capturing Bintong Longcheng, the Guangnan Army changed Bintonglong River to Meiniang River, and built a new city named Shuncheng on the opposite side of Bintonglong Old City in the north of the river.When Shuncheng was still under construction, the Guangnan Army sent envoys to the surrounding Han forces, requesting that envoys be sent to the court to recognize the supreme suzerainty of Guangnan, otherwise Bin Tonglong would be a lesson from the past.

Naturally, Yang Yandi, Chen Shangchuan and others did not dare to be negligent. On the one hand, they perfunctory the envoys from Guangnan with Tuozi formulas, and on the other hand, they sent envoys to ask Jin Lan for advice. Bad news---The Guangnan Squadron of Zheng Jun broke into Hoi An again, completely paralyzing this trading city.

But Nguyen Phuc Hoi's nightmare was only just beginning. The Zheng army fleet, which was plundered by Jiang An, first went north to attack Tuo Dang Port (Note: Da Nang), then went all the way south along the coastline, bombarded coastal ports, and went deep into the inland river to capture the people of Guangnan In addition to looting a large number of men to Qiongzhou to work as miners, they also sent a large number of women to Dongning and other places to marry to Zheng Jun soldiers.

Ruan Fuhao, who had been doused in cold water, ignored the advice of the Minister of State and the Portuguese side's request to make peace with Ming and Zheng, and insisted on ordering the Ruan Army to pull out the nail of the Camlan Governor's Mansion. For this reason, the Guangnan Army only left 3000 people guarded outside the city of Heshun, the hometown of Bintong Long, and the rest marched to Cam Ranh Bay on the occasion of the Spring Festival in the 46th year of Yongli.

From the figures, even with the addition of Yang Yandi and other San Francisco reinforcements, the total strength of the Zheng Army on the road is only more than [-], which is less than one-tenth of the Guangnan Army. The gunboats defended to the death, and the Ruan army attacked the village for days, but apart from burning down the trestle and shipyard, there was no substantial gain.

On the first day of February, under the cover of naval gunboats, nearly [-] people from the Zuolong Martial Division and Zuo Huben Division of the Zheng Army landed in Guda. the city.Immediately receiving reinforcements, Zheng Jun went all the way south, and arrived at the Orange Forest Valley before the Ruan Army could react, cutting off the northward retreat of the Ruan Army.

Seeing that the Ruan army had lost its way back, it was forced to give up the siege of Jinlan and retreat to the east of Ganlin, where the two armies fell into a confrontation.However, it was the dry season in southern Guangnan at this time, not to mention the scorching weather and insufficient food supplies. Therefore, the Ruan army, facing a shortage of food supply, was forced to provoke the battle first after realizing that the Ming Zheng army was strengthening day by day.

At sunset on the ninth day of February, the Nguyen Army, which avoided the upsurge, started a battle with the Ming Zheng Army. Although the Ruan Army was also equipped with cannons and muskets and had a slight advantage in strength, this advantage was not enough to shake the Ming Zheng Army's firepower. Advantage, after an hour and a half of two charges, the Ruan Army, who was finally unable to attack, waited for the late impact of the Ming Zheng Army. Zheng Mingjun tore apart the Ruan Army's line with the cavalry posts of each division as the guide, and then launched a battle against the still bright night sky. Divide it up and annihilate it.

Because there are mountains in the north, the sea in the east, and enemy troops in the southwest, the Ruan army has no escape. More than 27 Ruan soldiers were captured at the cost, [-] large and small cannons, and nearly [-] firecrackers were captured. Only a few Ruan troops fled into the northern mountains and escaped.

The main force of the Ruan Army was about to be destroyed, so the Zheng Army divided into three groups. One was to guard the prisoners on the spot and wait for them to be transported to Qiongzhou. The other was to attack the remaining Ruan Army units stranded on the front line of Shuncheng along with the Jinlan Governor's Mansion. The third route was to go north. Ninghe and Suihe attacked and advanced.

On February [-]th, the Zheng army of the Ming Dynasty invaded the unfinished city of Shuncheng, and the remaining troops of the Ruan army were wiped out. Then the Zheng side of the Ming Dynasty supported the surviving step-mother-in-law as the king of Champa, and Wuya Tart as the king's minister.The stepmother-in-law who hastily ascended to the throne reached an agreement with Ming Zheng to permanently cede the Jinlan-Guda (Luo) area to Ming Zheng, and honored Ming as Zhengshuo, proclaiming his ministers and paying tribute. The main task has been successfully completed, and the follow-up development of the next battle will depend on the choice of Ruan Phuc Hoi
