The commander of the Annan Navy was Li Zhu, a minister of the Zheng family, who had been sent to Daming in the tenth year of Chongzhen, and had a good understanding of the domestic situation of the Ming Dynasty. However, it was knowing that Li Zhu countered. As early as the beginning of the establishment of the Hongguang regime, Li Zhu told Zheng Zha's father Zheng Zha that the Ming Dynasty had lost the country, and that China would be ruled by the Manchu Qing in the north. In addition, Li Zhu has gathered a group of Confucian scholars to promote in the country that the Ming Dynasty has died. Today, China is in Annan, so Annan scholars often call themselves "Little China". It seems that from now on, Annan will be Where Chinese orthodoxy is located, the original suzerainty state in the north is the barbarian barbarians.

However, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had entered the Central Plains at that time, the Ming Dynasty still had half of the country in the south, so Zheng Zhi was indecisive. He wanted to make good friends with the Qing Dynasty, but he was afraid that this move would offend the Ming Dynasty, which still had half of the country. After all, compared with the Qing Dynasty in the north , the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are close at hand, and there is also the Ruan ruler regime in the south as an enemy. If the Ming Dynasty sends troops to attack, the Ruan clan in the south will fall into the ground, and there are Mo clans that Gao Ping has been befriending with the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He was afraid that it would be difficult to resist, and the Qing Dynasty could not save the near fire. Therefore, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he did not accept Li Zhu's opinion, and still sent a mission to the Ming Dynasty headed by the official envoy Ruan Renzheng and the deputy envoy Fan Yongjin. The governor of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Can, sailed to Fujian to seek the seal of the Longwu regime.

When the Qing troops occupied Fujian, the Annan mission that arrived in Fujian failed to see Emperor Longwu. The deputy envoy Fan Yongjin and others were captured by the Qing army and sent to Beijing. Ruan Renzheng was forced to return to Annan. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] After the establishment of the Yongli regime, Ruan Renzheng went to Guangxi again to visit the newly ascended Yongli Emperor. In the eighth year of the Yongli calendar, Zheng Jian was canonized as the deputy king of Annan.

In the seventh year of Yongli's reign, Zheng Zhi died of illness, and his son Zheng Zha succeeded him. After repelling the southern Ruan army, Zheng Zha accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was in Lizhu, and Fan Yongjin who returned from Beijing, etc. With the help of people, he started to establish suzerainty relations with the Qing Dynasty. With the continuous victories of the Qing Dynasty in the Ming and Qing wars, in order to gain the recognition of the Qing Dynasty, some radical pro-Qing factions in Annan, such as Ding Wenzuo and others, even prepared to assist the Qing army in encircling and suppressing the Ming army on the border. He and the courtiers collided with Ding Wen's left hand from Yunnan, and the incident was inevitable.

The Ming army navy suddenly appeared at sea, and the Annan navy was severely damaged in the two wars, which made Li Zhu very inexplicable, and did not understand where this Ming army navy came from. As far as he knows, Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty was occupied by the Qing army long ago, and now it is ruled by two Han vassal kings enshrined by the Qing court, while the Ming army has only a small number of soldiers and horses in Guangdong, and they protect themselves under the heavy pressure of the Qing army. Difficult, how could they cross the sea to invade Annan?

What makes Li Zhu even more confused is that this Ming army navy is not only huge, far surpassing his Annan navy, and so far the other party has never sent anyone to make any demands to Annan, not even accusations. Just crossing the sea like this, you will fight when you see it. It is quite like a market ranger who will start a fight if you disagree, which is completely inconsistent with the rules of engagement between the two countries. I vaguely felt that the navy of the Ming army was probably related to the princesses and envoys of the Ming Dynasty who were detained in Jianghe House, so Li Zhu did not dare to be careless, and ordered all the navy soldiers to shrink back to Haiyang Water Village, not to go out to sea with the Ming army. The divisions confronted each other to avoid further losses; on the other hand, they sent people to the Shenglong House to report the news.

When Zheng Zha, Deputy King of Annan of Shenglong heard that there were police at sea, he immediately ordered the coastal provinces to strengthen their coastal defenses to prevent the Ming army from attacking. At the same time, Zheng Zha ordered the generals Zheng Gen, Huang Yijiao, Pan Jianquan and others who were confronting the Ruan army in Lanjiang to also strengthen their defenses to prevent Ruan Fubian in the south from taking advantage of the Ming army to invade the north.

Not long after, Lang Son guards sent a message that there was no Ming army intruding on the border. This news made Zheng Zha breathe a sigh of relief. He was not afraid of the navy alone. It was the Ming Dynasty who really wanted to overthrow his Zheng regime. If the navy couldn't beat him, they wouldn't fight him, and asked the prefectures and roads along the coast to set up more coastal defenses. Could it be that the navy of the Ming army could still land and attack the Shenglong Mansion?

While Fan Yongjin was still on the road, he didn't know that his negotiator had set his sights on the Haiyang Water Village and made up his mind to annihilate the main force of the Annan Navy in one fell swoop.

Haiyang Water Village is the largest port base of the Annan Navy. It is located in Nanning Prefecture, which is less than two hundred miles away from Thanh Hoa, and only four hundred miles away from Shenglong Mansion. The Haiyang Water Village is anchored by the main force of the Annan Navy, with more than 80 warships of various sizes, and nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy, together with the fort officers and soldiers on both sides of the water village.

Li Zhu had already arrived at Haiyang Water Village from Qinghua, and after taking office, he issued a strict order prohibiting any boats other than sentry boats from going out to sea, not even fishing boats. This move made some young and strong generals of the Annan Navy quite dissatisfied, thinking that avoiding war would be detrimental to the country. However, Li Zhu was an old official of the three dynasties, and he was deeply trusted by Zheng Zhu. The generals in the battle were dissatisfied with his avoidance of the battle, and did not dare to violate the order.

"In a battle at sea, whether or not to evade should depend on the speed of the boat. The faster the speed, the easier it is to chase after winning, and the easier it is to avoid when lost. "

Li Zhu proposed to Zheng Zuo the strategy of "protecting the ship and conquering the enemy". He believed that the Annan Navy's ships were not as strong as the Ming Dynasty~www.NovelMTL.com~ ships were not as strong as the Ming Dynasty. It will be difficult to win. But if they avoided the battle, there would be Haiyang Water Village, which would restrain the Ming army navy, like a fierce tiger in the mountains. When the Ming army crossed the sea to invade, the supply of supplies was very small, and the momentum could not last long.

Zheng Zha sent envoys to Haiyang Water Village, agreed with Li Zhu's proposal of "protecting the ship and conquering the enemy", and ordered Fan Yongjin to get in touch with the Ming army quickly to find out what the other party planned. If it was for the detained princess and the courtiers, then Solve the matter with dragging words, if it is for money and food, you can give some to make it retreat.

Zheng Zha's views coincided with Li Zhu's. They both believed that the Ming army's attack this time was just a simple navy, and without an army, the foundation of the Zheng family would not be damaged. Moreover, the navy could not last, the battle was impossible, and it was impossible to talk about it, and the Ming army had to retreat in the end.

No one in the Zheng family mentioned that the princess and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty should be returned to the Ming army in order to seek the understanding of the Ming Dynasty, but the spies sent to Yunnan by Ding Wenzuo made it clear that the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had already Abandoning the country and fleeing to Burma, the Ming Dynasty is already dead, so there is no need to pay attention to those remaining forces of the Ming Dynasty. The Mo clan of Gaoping remained silent about the incident of the Ming army, but this attitude gave Zheng Zhe a misjudgment, and firmly believed that the Ming Dynasty was really dead, otherwise why would the Mo clan who had a close relationship with the Ming Dynasty come together? Indifferent. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
