Compared with Zhou Sheng's troops who went north to attack Hongji and Quang Ninh, they encountered the resistance of the army and the people in Annan without an inch of success. Zheng Chengkui's troops, who went south from Haiyang Water Village to attack Thanh Hoa, progressed smoothly. He captured two county towns and three forts of the Annan army, wiped out more than 4,000 Annan defenders, killed more than 10,000 people in Annan, and captured more than 7,000 young men and women.

After two days of rest in the Hejing sea area, Zheng Chengkui commanded the navy to enter the Lanjiang River Estuary and Rili Haimen. This move not only alerted Zheng Gen, Huang Yijiao and others, but also shocked Lanjiang. To the south, the Nguyen clan garrisoned in Shihua, Tianlu, Yichun, Luoshan and other counties.

Zheng Gen had already received an order from the Lord Zheng of Shenglong Mansion, and knew that the remnants of the Ming people in the north were coming to invade Dayue, but he did not expect that the navy would be wiped out, so that the Ming navy galloped across the sea and frontier of Dayue, unstoppable. Without the navy to control the enemy, Zheng Gen could not take effective measures to restrain the Ming navy, and could only order the military and civilians along the coast and along the river to move inland, so as not to be captured by the Ming army. This move and the "sea prohibition order" that the Qing court is currently implementing along the coast of Fujian is like a withdrawal.

In addition to ordering the people to move inwards, Zheng Gen also adjusted thousands of soldiers to garrison the key points of the prefectures and counties. The local government organized a soldier and volunteers to join the defense and control, and set up a beacon tower every few miles between the countryside. When the navy came ashore, he immediately lit the beacon to announce the news. When the troops stationed in the area see the news, they are ready for battle. If there are few Ming troops ashore, they will gather courage to attack; [Love ↑ go △ small ↓ say △ network WwW.AiQu]

However, the Li Dynasty of the Zheng Clan had a long territory and few soldiers and horses, so how could it be possible to fortify everywhere. The Ming army sailed over and found that the place was fortified, so they rushed to other places, and suddenly landed at a distance of dozens of miles or even a hundred miles. The border of Annan is long and narrow, and the coastal areas are densely populated areas. As long as the Ming army goes ashore, they can find and plunder dense villages without spending their hands and feet. All of a sudden, Zheng's Li Dynasty was in a hurry everywhere along the southern coast. Since the day the Ming army invaded, the local reports of losses were incalculable. The number of people killed alone was 50,000 or 60,000, and it was impossible to confirm who was captured and kidnapped. The damage to property is astronomical.

When Zheng's Li Dynasty was robbed by the Ming army, the Ruan's regime in the south was not attacked by the Ming army, which made Zheng Gen and others suspect that the Ming army had contacted the Ruan army in Jiangnan.

Zheng Gen did not guess wrong, the Ming army has indeed joined the Ruan regime. Zheng Chengkui was instructed to go south, in addition to robbing food and labor, harassing and restraining the main force of the Zheng army in Lanjiang so that they would not go north to reinforce the Thanglong Mansion, but also to contact the Ruan regime in the south and cooperate to attack the Zheng army.

Zheng Chengkui sent to get in touch with Ruan Youjin, the general of the Ruan army, and said that the reason why the Daming army attacked the Zheng family was because the Zheng family had perverted their trust and detained Princess Daming. Zheng Chengkui emphasized to Ruan's side that the invasion of the army was only to get the princess back, and punished Zheng's betrayal of Daming, but had no territorial claims on Annan. If the Ruan army is willing to assist Daming in attacking the Zheng clan, then after the Zheng clan's demise in the future, Daming will recognize the Ruan clan's occupation of the entire territory of Annan, and His Royal Highness the Supervisor of the Kingdom of Daming will also enshrine the lord of the Ruan clan, Nguyen Phu Bian, as the king of Annan.

Ruan Youjin is a general of the Ruan army, a close confidant of Lord Ruan, and Zheng Ruan has fought several battles. Ruan Youjin has made a lot of credit. If it wasn't for Ruan Youjin's rejection of the enemy in Lanjiang the year before, which severely damaged the Zheng army, I am afraid that the Zheng army would have already invaded the city of Hue.

Ruan Youjin wanted to destroy the Zheng family even more than the Ming army, but he did not easily agree to the conditions of the Ming army to send troops across the river to attack the Zheng army, but sent people to return to Hue quickly, and it was up to Ruan Lord to decide whether to join forces with the Ming army.

After receiving a report from Haiyang Water Village that Zhou Sheng's progress in Hongji was not good, Zheng Chengkui did not wait for Nguyen's reply, but continued to lead the navy to capture the Haicheng of Yi'an Ding, a key point of Zheng's coastal defense. Thousands of soldiers died. Later, they attacked the Jinluo River and left the port. Wu Yuankui, the governor of Annan's left army, led his army to stand firm, but Li Xian, who was guarding, wanted to make peace, and ordered Wu Yuankui to lead his army to retreat, but Wu Yuankui categorically refused to withdraw. Upon seeing this, Li Xian led his troops to withdraw on his own, causing chaos among the defenders leaving Hong Kong. Wu Yuankui and hundreds of soldiers fought desperately to defend, but unfortunately they were outnumbered and died in the fort.

After Li Xian timidly retreated, he learned that Wu Yuankui had died in battle and that the fort that left Hong Kong had fallen. He was afraid that Lord Zheng would commit crimes. Zheng Zhu heard the news and ordered Li Xian to kill the head of the Ming army and transport the capital to strengthen the heart of the army. Li Xian did not have the head of the Ming army in his hands. In desperation, he ordered the soldiers to capture the Han people in the territory and used their heads to pretend to be the heads of the Ming army.

There are many Han people in Annan, the number is about one million. As early as the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han people from the north began to immigrate to South Vietnam. These Han settlers included exiles, garrisoned troops, and court lawsuits. After Ma Yuan conquered Jiaozhi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, more than 30,000 Han garrison troops were stationed in Annan. Most of them intermarryed with local Vietnamese women and gave birth to offspring. In the early years of the Song Dynasty, Annan became independent, established the Great Quyue Kingdom, and formed a suzerainty relationship with the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the invasion of Mongolia and the Yuan Dynasty, many of the surviving officials who were loyal to the Song Dynasty fled to Vietnam. According to the historical records of the Annan people, there were 30 large-scale ships at that time, full of Song Dynasty people and their wives and wealth, which came across the sea, and were later settled in the neighborhoods near Kyoto.

During the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, for political, economic and cultural reasons, Emperor Chengzu sent Zheng He to the Western Ocean for seven voyages. . In addition, when Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty transferred hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Yunnan and Guizhou to Vietnam to pacify the chaos, when Emperor Xuanzong gave up Vietnam, most of the soldiers' entourage stayed in Vietnam.

Although the skin color of the Han people in Annan is not different from that of the local people due to intermarriage and intergenerational living, it can still be clearly distinguished from the face. The Annan people have sharp and narrow faces, and they look like monkeys from afar, while the Han people are not. Since the occupation and invasion of Annan, the Annan people discriminated and hated the Han Chinese in the territory. The large-scale invasion, burning, killing and looting of the Ming army aroused the resistance of the Annan people, and also put the Han people in Annan in danger. However, the Annan people who could not help the Ming army naturally vented their anger on their neighbors, the Han people. After Li Xian ordered the killing of the Han people, the soldiers of Annan were all excited, and the people were also excited, and they assisted the officers and soldiers to hunt down their former neighbors and even relatives.

Some Han people escaped the capture of Annan soldiers and risked their lives to report to the Ming army. Because the Ming army's navy was uncertain, the messenger went north to Shannan, just in time for the two brigades of the command post of the twelfth town general Niu Gensheng to seize Shannan City. After hearing that the Annan people were killing the Han people, Niu Gensheng was furious and immediately sent troops to attack Shannan City. At the bottom of the city, he defeated the thousands of rabble entangled in Shannan guarding Zheng Guan, and entered the city, causing the Han people in the city to leave, and then the whole city was burned and looted, killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Annan. The massacre and the fire lasted for three days, which frightened the scholars and merchants in Baozhou near Shannan to panic, and sent people to pay the Ming army one million taels to redeem the city, so that the Ming army would not break the city.
