Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

Zheng Kezang survived the first crisis after the founding of China, and only then did he have the strength to control the situation in the Indochina Peninsula.

On September [-]th, the second year of Wucheng, the registered envoy of the Huaxia Dynasty arrived at Shenglong Mansion.

"?? Huaxia used Zhuangzong (Li Weining) as the surname of Li, and stole the administration of the country, so that Dayue was in turmoil for 160 years. He dismissed Emperor Li and delegated state affairs to the Zheng Dynasty. Serving China, from its politics, abandoning all ways and setting up prefectures, resuming the best soldiers and setting up imperial camps, and then invaded Laos to the west and became the dog and horse of the northern country..."

"Annan's Journey"

In fact, Zheng Huang Dai Li was negotiated by the two countries before Zheng Kezang Dai Ming, so everything is logical.However, the biggest obstacle for Emperor Zheng to replace Li was not in his own country. Therefore, when Zheng Gen officially ascended the throne as the lord of Annan in Shenglong on the third day of October that year, the envoys of the Huaxia Dynasty had already entered Fuchun, the capital of Guangnan.

"After the stay of Jinghai Jiedu envoy, the governor of Annan, Beihe, Gaoping, Tsinghua, etc., General Longhuwei, Doctor Ronglu, the lord of Annan, and the king of Jingjun." Looking at the canonized Zheng of the Huaxia Dynasty in his hand According to the copy of the edict, Nguyen Phuc Hoi, the Duke of Dai Viet Zuo, has a serious expression on his face. "What do you think about this matter?"

"My lord, Huaxia is blackmailing us," Lin Guogong, the deputy governor of the Guangnan imperial camp, and Ruan Fuyu's uncle Ruan Fuyu stepped forward and responded. "As the envoy of Huaxia said, if the ruler of the country submits to Huaxia and becomes a vassal, then Huaxia will arrange to demarcate the border between the north and the south. If we don't agree, the Huaxia Dynasty will have an excuse to encourage the Northern Dynasty to send troops again and besiege on three sides. , and finally divide the territory of our country equally with the Zheng Dynasty."

Ruan Fu's words caused a commotion in the palace. That's right, the Zheng-Ruan battle two years ago lasted ten months, and both sides were severely injured. If it happened again, the overthrow of Ruan's regime would be imminent. Not to mention that this time there may be a situation where the Huaxia Dynasty and the Zheng Dynasty will attack the land and sea from the north and the south.

"The lord." Zijin Ronglu doctor and Zhenguo Taiwei Hu Youqian also stepped forward to speak. "Huaxia has now set up prefectures and counties in Bianhe, Meilan, Hexian, Jinlan and other places. It is obvious that they regard them as the mainland and want to occupy them for a long time. This shows the ambition of the Xia Lord. If we reject Huaxia's canonization, wouldn't it be It is in harmony with Emperor Xia's mind."

"Lord," said Ruan Fuhao's brother-in-law, Marquis of Liyang Chen Pei, although he did not object to accepting the canonization of the Huaxia Dynasty, but he expressed uneasiness about the Huaxia Dynasty's request to send personnel to co-manage Hoi'an and cancel the privileges of the Portuguese. "I thought it was irrelevant to accept the canonization of the Huaxia Dynasty, but without the help of Portugal, we will completely become a vassal of China."

"The Marquis of Liyang is overthinking. It's just abolishing the privileges of the Portuguese. It's not a complete severance of trade with them. There is still an opportunity to take advantage of it during the period." Zhang Xian, the important minister in charge of the household affairs department, Xiang Qi and the ship's affairs, obviously studied it early in the morning. The request of the Huaxia Dynasty. "As for Huaxia's dispatch of customs, it is also to establish an exchange, unify the prices of goods, and not interfere with the collection of customs duties by companies."

Chen Pei still expressed concern: "Although that's the case, I'm afraid that Huaxia will make progress."

Chen Pei's worries are justified. Although the Huaxia Dynasty does not directly intervene in Hoi An's taxation, the Huaxia side has always asked Ruan's regime to sort out taxation and cancel the bad rules of entry and worship. This must involve the interests of some dignitaries.

"Chen Hou, Hui'an is a small matter. Whether the lord accepts Huaxia's canonization is the big thing." Hu Youqian saw Chen Pei's selfishness very clearly, so he interrupted Chen Pei's desire with some displeasure. Hu Youqian spoke to Ruan Fuhao again after Chen Pei stepped aside in embarrassment. "I also ask the lord to make a decisive decision, otherwise the position of Marquis of Qingyang will not be obtained."

The so-called Marquis of Qingyang is the title given by the Huaxia Dynasty to the deposed Emperor Li Weiyong. Although he also conferred the title of Juetian with [-] armors, his treatment cannot be compared with the previous one, and there are rumors that he was kidnapped together. The clansmen, maidservants, and eunuchs who went north were either driven as miners or awarded as Chinese veterans. The tragedy cannot be expressed in words.

Ruan Fuhao was still hesitating, but the Grand Tutor Chen Bo next to him suddenly said, "It's fine if Huaxia only asks our country to be a vassal. I'm afraid that after Huaxia determines the vassal status, it will restrict our dynasty's expansion of territory, which will be a great harm. gone."

Ruan Fuhao immediately nodded subconsciously, he was still the teacher's confidant, and it was simply too correct. You must know that Lord Ruan's strength is not as good as that of Lord Zheng. The most important thing is to actively erode the land of Champa and Chenla, but now the road to the south has been blocked by the Huaxia Dynasty. If the road to the west is stopped by the Huaxia Dynasty in the name of the country, then the future of Guangnan will have some prospects slim.

Noticing Ruan Fuhao's eyes looking at him, Mei Qingchen, who was in charge of the Ministry of Rites, trembled, and reported in a somewhat uncertain tone: "As far as I know, it seems that Huaxia has not, it seems, reported to Liao. China, Chenla, Siam, and Burma sent canonized envoys, and our country may take advantage of this."

What Mei Qingchen meant was that the Huaxia Dynasty claimed to be a thug in the Indochina Peninsula, and in the name of helping China tame the countries, he ate and swallowed up the territories of other countries. However, although the idea was good, Chen Bo frowned: "Even so, I'm afraid it's just a temporary gain." For the sake of cheapness, once the nations accept it, Huaxia will not allow this dynasty to make further progress."

"Guo Fu's words are wrong." Ruan Phuc shook his head. "The Huaxia Dynasty is now in a state of prosperity, so I will not allow my dynasty to change. However, the root of China is in the north. Although it is monitored by the Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate, it can control whales and encroachment, so even if Japan After determining the territory to limit the expansion of our country, we still have a way.”

"I'm afraid Lin Guogong is too optimistic." Chen Bo still shook his head. "With the status of suzerain and vassal established, our country will fall into the hub of China, and every move will be restricted by China, and it will be difficult to turn around in the future."

"Guofu is very worried, but can our country have the strength to fight against China?" The generation of Ruan Fuhui, the Duke of Long who has been silent, should be Ruan Fuhui's grandfather's generation. "Since we can't fight against Huaxia, what's the point of refusing? Do you really want me to cut off the Ruan family here?" As soon as he said this, Chen Bo's face turned pale, but Ruan Fuming didn't look at him, just followed him Nguyen Phuc said. "A man can bend and stretch. This is true for human beings, and the same is true for governance. Since Huaxia is powerful, it is better for the lord to lie dormant for a while, and see what happens in the future. If Huaxia's state is not permanent, our country will naturally ignore it. Now, at least you don’t have to worry about Bei Chao.”

"Duke Long's words are very true," Mei Qingchen echoed. "Of course, the conditions to be negotiated still need to be negotiated. At least Huaxia must acquiesce in the acquiescence of the land occupied by our country in Chenla and Laos before it belongs to our country."

Speaking of this, the people in the hall were silent, just waiting for the young Ruan Fuhao to make the final decision.

As a young king, Ruan Fuhao had the same ambitions as Kangxi and Zheng Kezang, but his strength was not as good as others. In the end, he just succumbed to reality: "In this case, let's act according to Mei Qing's wishes."

After saying that, Ruan Fuhao flicked his sleeves unwillingly and walked towards the harem. Seeing Ruan Fuhao left, the Guangnan officials dispersed, but Mei Qingchen turned his eyes, and then went to Ruan Fuxuan and Ruan Fuxuan: "You two gentlemen Stay."

The two looked at Mei Qingchen quite unexpectedly, and Ruan Fumi asked, "Master Mei, what's the matter?"

"You two gentlemen, in fact, from the point of view of the lower officials, Huaxia may not want to accept the vassal of Zhenla." Mei Qingchen's words stunned the two of them. "Huaxia's establishment of the Jinlan Metropolitan Protectorate and the establishment of prefectures and counties are clearly a long-term business posture. Since this is the case, can Huaxia be satisfied with this? Probably not. Then why did you accept me as a vassal? Why don't you simply cooperate with Zheng Chao Divide my territory evenly."

When Ruan Fuchen heard this, he interjected: "Huaxia has good intentions, but it's just continuing to use our country to contain Lord Zheng."

"Your Majesty's words are fundamental," Mei Qingchen clapped his hands and laughed. "Huaxia is just dividing and conquering. It will continue to let our Dynasty and Zheng Dynasty check each other. At the same time, it also holds Li Huang in its hands, and can intervene in the state affairs of Da Viet anytime and anywhere."

Ruan Fufu was already thinking about it, but at this moment he said calmly: "Even so, so what?"

Mei Qingchen smiled: "Duke Long has assisted the three generations of lords, and he is the pillar of our country. The officials don't believe that you can't even see this, but you don't want to reveal your heart, so you can just say it directly." gone."

Mei Qingchen paused, and continued: "Since Huaxia can't go north, do the two gentlemen think Huaxia will go west?"

"Going west?" Ruan Fumi was shocked, and looked at Mei Qingchen in disbelief. "Master Mei means that Huaxia may not accept Chenla's servants, and will not be canonized as the king of Chenla." Mei Qingchen nodded, and Ruan Fuchen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. "China's unruly attitude towards Chenla, what benefits does it have for our country?"

"Chenla is so big, and China's main power is going to be used against the Qing court. So, Lin Guogong thinks how long it will take Jinlan's power to swallow the whole of Chenla." Said in a flying manner. "This is our country's opportunity." Mei Qingchen emphasized his tone. "Regardless of whether China will become the king of Chenla in the future, our country should use the excuse of cooperating with China to invade and occupy Chenla with all our strength. I think China, which has just been canonized as the king and forbids me to go north, will not intervene for a while."

Ruan Fuming and Ruan Fuming glanced at each other, and there was a layer of joy on their faces: "Master Mei's words are not bad. Laos is reserved for Beihe, and Chenla is reserved for my country. This is probably China's hidden bargaining chip. Is it time to make good use of it? "<Wai Chu, General Longhuwei, Doctor Ronglu, Vietnamese King, Xianglin County King", on December [-] of the same year, Annan and Vietnam signed a formal peace treaty in Hengshan, and the two The country is bounded by Hengshan, and the country is divided equally and there will be no more wars?
