Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

Chen Tianping is now in the palace. Although the old and new palaces are not far apart, the news has been tightly blocked by Empress Wu and sent out of the city. Even if Chen Tianping arranged some spies inside, he did not learn too many secrets.

It has to be said that although Empress Wu is a woman, she is able to keep her composure at such critical moments.

On the one hand, they requested the royal palace of Annan Kingdom to dispatch doctors for treatment.

On the other hand, he conveyed what happened to the Ming army camp outside, and then closed the door of the new palace.

"Marshuai Li looks strong, and I haven't heard of any old injuries. How could he suddenly suffer from a serious illness?"

"Could it be that he went out hunting and came back to take off his armor?" the eunuch next to him speculated.

In fact, this is the only possibility that people in this era can think of under reasonable speculation.

"Armor-removing wind", as the name suggests, means that when a general returns to his tent after a battle, because his body is too hot and sweats a lot, he immediately removes his armor and enjoys the cold and wind, which causes the so-called stroke. Mainly because Chinese medicine believes that, After a person sweats profusely, the core of the joint is not solid, and wind evil easily invades, restricting the meridians, causing tightness of the muscles and veins, and blockage of Qi and blood. Blockage will cause pain.

There are many such examples in China. For example, Li Cunxiao, the most powerful general of the Five Dynasties, who was known as "the king is no match for Xiang, and the general is no match for Li", once defeated twenty-eight generals of the five princes in one day, and because of his blood boiling, he took off his armor. After drinking three glasses of cold wine in a row, he suddenly fell to the ground, vomited blood, and fell unconscious. He was suffering from the "armor-removing wind"; the nearest one was Chang Yuchun, the Kaiping King of the Ming Dynasty, who was one of the most important ministers in the founding of Hongwu. First, one hundred thousand generals roamed the world, and they were called "often one hundred thousand" in the army. They also suffered from "armor-removing wind" in the second year of Hongwu.

"No, it's not enough to go hunting, right?"

Chen Tianping was puzzled, but he also knew that if the garrison outside Daming City noticed something unusual and took irrational actions, then death would surely be waiting for them!

Thinking of this, Chen Tianping immediately stood up from the bed again and ordered anxiously: "Send two groups of imperial guards. One group will follow the doctor to the new palace, ask what happened, and then guard the new palace; the other group will guard the new palace; We have closed the city gates to prevent the Ming army from entering the city. We must make it clear to the Ming army that Marshal Li is just suffering from a sudden illness and has nothing to do with us. If there is anything that happens tomorrow morning, I will open the city gates and make it clear to my face."

From Chen Tianping's point of view, this arrangement is no problem.

Because the new palace does not have any armed forces except a small number of Li Jinglong's personal guards. At this time, once the news of Li Jinglong's sudden illness spreads, there will be countless forces with ulterior motives in the city, and Li Jinglong must not die in the city. , once he dies in the city, then to Chen Tianping, it will be just mud sticking to his pants - either shit or shit.

It is now the eve of the Ming army's withdrawal. Since Chen Tianping intends to agree in principle to the Ming army's withdrawal conditions, he certainly does not want anything to happen to Li Jinglong. Therefore, Chen Tianping must ensure Li Jinglong's safety. If Annan's army enters the new palace, then The nature changed, so Chen Tianping only ordered a garrison outside the new palace.

Ensuring Li Jinglong's safety is one thing, and ensuring his own safety is another, so Chen Tianping ordered the city gate to be closed.

Chen Tianping could not rely on his life and royal power on the Ming army, which was very likely to riot outside the city, not do anything irrational.

With the city gates closed, the probability of the Ming army successfully attacking the city at night was low.

Chen Tianping believed that as long as he communicated well with the Ming army and delayed tonight, the truth would be revealed whether Li Jinglong was good or not.

Otherwise, it will be a waste of time, information will not be transmitted smoothly, and various problems will easily occur.

"Go quickly, you must be quick!"

——————

Near the west gate of Thang Long City.

Zhang Fu rode his horse and stood under the city wall, staring at the dark and deep night sky, his eyes full of haze.

He was wearing armor, holding a sharp blade, and his cold face revealed a strong aura of iron-blooded killing.

He had been standing here with his cavalry for two sticks of incense without moving at all.

The cavalry cannot attack the city directly.

Although the reorganized Annan Army was trained by Li Jinglong, the captains and generals responsible for key positions such as the gate of Shenglong City were promoted by Chen Tianping.

These confidants received instructions from Chen Tianping and have been shouting to the Ming army below the city.

Even though there were many generals close to the Ming army in the army responsible for guarding the gate, since there was no direct conflict between the two sides at this time, it seemed that the Ming army was dissuaded by the shouting, so naturally it was difficult to do anything.

At this moment, both parties are patiently waiting for the latest news.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there were deafening roars in the distance.

There were many soldiers of the Annan Army on the city tower. They all stood at their posts with their weapons firmly in hand, looking straight at the Ming army under the night in the distance.

The officers and soldiers of the Annan Army suddenly became vigilant, and they all looked up in the direction of the sound. They all knew that this was the direction of the Ming Army's camp.

"alert!"

The captain of the city gate shouted lowly, then drew his sword and pointed into the distance.

In an instant, a group of Annan soldiers took action. They each ran forward with their equipment and blocked the city gate to prevent the Ming army from forcibly attacking the city.

But the next moment, they knew that they were doing useless work.

"Bang bang bang!"

Loud noises resounded through the night sky one after another, like thunder exploding and deafening. This was the sound of artillery test firing.

The captain of the city gate glanced at the sky in the distance, his face became more and more gloomy, and he murmured to himself: "The artillery is actually coming."

That's right, Zhang Fu was waiting for the artillery.

As long as large-caliber mortars and ordinary artillery arrive, it is very easy to forcefully attack the city.

After all, the Annan Army had little will to resist, and there were many pro-Ming sect officers inside. If they really wanted to force their way into the city, they would only need to fire a few cannons at the city gate, and that would be enough.

Yunyang Bo Chen Xu said at this time: "The Marquis of Xincheng, the Annan people must be delaying the attack at this time. These damn killers actually dare to assassinate Cao Guogong. I request you to lead the army to attack the city!"

Yunyang Bo Chen Xu was one of the Jingnan nobles. He succeeded his father in the late years of Hongwu and served as the commander of Huizhou Guards. In the first year of Jianwen, Zhu Di raised an army and surrendered the city to Yan. His main achievements that year included the conquest of Luanhe and the After the Yan army captured Dezhou in the second year of Jianwen, Chen Xu was ordered to defend Dezhou. In August of the same year, Sheng Yong attacked Dezhou. Chen Xu abandoned the city because of the small number of troops and left the city alone. Zhu Di did not ask him about his crime. He was more flexible and knew how to do it. A general who assesses the situation.

There was no way around it. There were many factions within the Ming army, especially Li Jinglong who did not have much dealing with many Jingnan nobles.

At this time, when the Ming army attacks the city, there is a chance that Li Jinglong will make a mistake.

Obviously, although Yunyang Bo Chen Xu's suggestion at this time sounds very reasonable and full of righteous indignation, but if you take a closer look, you will know that this guy wants Li Jinglong to die and scream "good death".

"Not urgent."

Zhang Fu maintained a high degree of calm at this time. He shook his head and said indifferently: "Since the artillery has been mobilized, the Annan army guarding the city must have also expected that it would be easy to break through the city gate. We attacked rashly. I'm afraid Cao Guogong is inside. If something unexpected happens, wait a little longer until the large group of infantry is in position."

These words expressed Zhang Fu's concerns. If he attacks rashly, he is afraid that not only will he not be able to save Li Jinglong, but he will be harmed. This is something Zhang Fu does not want to see.

"As you command!"

When Yunyang Bo Chen Xu heard this, he clasped his fists and retreated.

"Do you think Marshal Li has been killed?" A general whispered.

The other general snorted softly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Marshal Li is brave and good at fighting. He is also in good health. Nothing will happen to him."

The rest of the generals also agreed with this general's speculation. Although there were people in the Ming army who wanted to borrow swords to kill people, the vast majority of them, especially those from the Southern Army, were still loyal subordinates of Li Jinglong.

Soon, with the sound of "dong dong" drums, the Ming army lit up fire dragon-like torches and began to form a team.

Outside the city gate, thousands of Ming troops were gathering. They lined up according to formations and stood in order. After the formation was completed, it was estimated that there were more than 5,000 people in total. And these more than 5,000 Ming troops, plus The cavalry and artillery are what Zhang Fu has mobilized now.

Some of the remaining Ming troops cannot fight at night.

In this era, there are two main aspects that affect the ability of an army to fight at night. The first aspect is naturally night blindness. Night blindness is mainly caused by the lack of vitamin A, which is the so-called malnutrition; the second aspect is related to the organization. Ability and usual night fighting training are related.

In other words, even if you don't have night blindness, you won't be able to fight at night without special training.

Because for the Ming army, just gathering numbers is meaningless. The level of equipment has improved and the number of soldiers is not high. If soldiers who do not suffer from night blindness but lack night combat training participate in the operation, it will lead to chaos in the entire operation. The gain outweighs the loss.

"Dong dong dong!" "Woooooo~"

The sound of drums and horns became more and more passionate and loud, and the sound of war drums made people's blood boil.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Ming army were full of anticipation and excitement, waiting for their commander's order.

Not far from them, there were many carriages, with artillery pieces towed behind them.

"Report~~"

At this moment, a horse galloped over, carrying a sentinel on its back.

The sentry reined in his horse, jumped off his horse, and said respectfully: "The Marquis of Xincheng, on the order of Colonel Cao, sent a secret report."

Zhang Fu took the secret report passed through Li Jinglong's family general, opened it and read it carefully.

After reading the secret report, his gloomy expression instantly returned to normal, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's just as I expected."

But what exactly happened is indeed a bit embarrassing, and I feel embarrassed to publicize it.

Zhang Fu put away the secret letter, turned around and said to the generals around him: "Everyone, Marshal Li is indeed suddenly ill, but after the doctor's treatment, the situation has stabilized. It is not known when he will wake up, but there is no tendency to worsen. ”

"What about us?"

Zhang Fu didn't speak, but fell into thinking.

Now that Li Jinglong's condition is stable, he has more choices.

Regarding the interests of the Ming Dynasty, the withdrawal of troops must be withdrawn, but how much benefit can be obtained from the withdrawal of troops? In the past, Li Jinglong made the decision, but Zhang Fu also thought about it.

Is it possible to use this matter to create an information gap and make mistakes?

The Annan people should not have the courage to murder Li Jinglong. Even if the Ming army broke through the city to demonstrate absolute force and achieve a deterrent effect, the Annan people would not dare to touch Li Jinglong even if they wanted to.

The reason is simple. Once such a situation occurs, Li Jinglong will actually become the last card in their hands to save their lives and negotiate terms.

So now Zhang Fu can be basically sure that even if he fires, Li Jinglong's life safety will not be affected.

Besides, he already knew the situation in the new palace.

Although the Annan people have surrounded or protected the new palace, there are still a considerable number of Li Jinglong's guards inside. These people have completed simple fortification preparations. The outer walls cannot be defended, but the core area inside can be guarded for a while and wait for support. Arrival is no problem.

If the city can be easily broken and Shenglong City can be controlled again, there will be no doubt that the Ming Dynasty's military power will be demonstrated.

This kind of intimidation by Chiguoguo was enough for Ming Dynasty to gain an absolute advantage in the negotiations with Annan Kingdom.

——————

The moon was hidden in the dark clouds at first, and the stars were shining in the dark night sky. After a long time, the moon slowly poked its head out.

As the dark clouds drifted away, a crescent moon finally hung high in the sky, emitting a bright and soft brilliance, and the silver light poured down to the world.

On the official road in Shenglong City, nearly a thousand Annan Kingdom's imperial cavalry were moving quickly.

Each of the cavalrymen carried a long spear and a horizontal sword on their waist. They all had serious expressions and exuded a biting evil spirit, just like swords with sharp edges.

The cavalrymen shuttled on the official road, constantly galloping, making bursts of thunderous shouts. They were like a black storm sweeping through the official road.

This cavalry team is already the most trusted and reliable armed force that Chen Tianping can mobilize.

Although Chen Tianping had not been on the throne for long, his bloodline of the deposed emperor had secretly accumulated some strength. After Chen Tianping returned to Annan, he made some of his strength public and recruited new soldiers to become his imperial guard. The core of this army is led by his cronies.

They have arrived at the Drum Tower of Thang Long City.

"There are Ming troops outside the city, and they have also deployed powerful firearms. Your Majesty asked us to be careful and not to act rashly." The leading general said solemnly.

"clear!"

The generals and commanders quickly agreed.

At this moment, the deputy general said: "As a humble suggestion, I would like to dig a tunnel and use a large vat to investigate. The Ming army is accustomed to using tunnels and gunpowder to blow up the city. We have to guard against it. We can't go out of the city to fight against the Ming army. We are only responsible for guarding the gates between the gates." It’s just a maneuver, you might as well send cavalry to order each city gate to investigate.”

The general frowned slightly after hearing this, but soon relaxed.

He nodded: "Okay!"

Then he nodded to a few people, who bowed their hands and saluted, then got on their horses and rushed to the west gate of Shenglong Mansion to deliver the message.

At the same time, a fireball suddenly rose into the sky on top of the west gate of Shenglong Mansion, illuminating the city wall in the night.

"ah--"

"Help!"

"No, the Ming army opened fire!"

"Run away! Run away!"

The moment the fire suddenly appeared, the Annan troops on the city wall fled in panic, like headless flies.

What is unbearable is that this is actually the Annan Expeditionary Force receiving newly developed flares sent from China.

This kind of flare is a device similar to fireworks. It can spit out orange fireworks. Although the duration is not very long, it can be used to illuminate the battlefield in night battles.

However, I didn't expect that frightening the enemy would also have a significant effect.

What happened in front of the city gate of Shenglong Palace was naturally hidden from the Annan Imperial Guards, and they immediately learned the news.

The leading general did not hesitate and immediately ordered the entire army to set off and immediately slipped back to the old palace to defend the king.

No one is stupid. Anyone who confronts the Ming army head-on will not hit his neck against the blade.

At the west gate of Thang Long Mansion, the defenders on the city wall suddenly panicked when they saw the Ming army beginning to advance.

Seeing this messy scene, the general who defended the city suddenly felt cold in his heart. Shenglong City could no longer be defended!

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a sound from below, and then, the west gate of Shenglong Mansion was lowered.

"No! Someone lowered the city gate! The enemy is coming!" Some soldiers ran to the city wall and reported to the general who defended the city.

When the soldiers guarding the city of Thang Long Mansion saw the city gate being lowered, they were so frightened that they almost lost their souls. They turned around and ran away, no one could stop them.

In a short time, with the help of pro-Ming officers, the Ming army quickly "captured" the west gate of Thang Long City and completely captured the remaining Annan troops.

——————

"Annan prisoners come out!"

The next morning.

It was just dawn, and the sky was white with fish belly.

Outside the new palace, soldiers of the Annan Army had evacuated the place early, while some disorganized military supplies were piled under the city tower.

Annan's prisoners came out obediently, and under the command of the Ming army, began to transport the dead.

There were not many dead, only about a dozen people, and of these dozen people, most of them were crushed to death by being crowded to the ground by their own people.

In front of the new palace, Zhang Fu was riding a war horse. He was wearing armor and had a sword hanging on his waist. He was waiting with a group of soldiers.

"Reporting to the Marquis of Xincheng, all the defenders except the Old Palace have surrendered. Thanglong City has been captured by our army!"

At this time, another cavalryman rode over from a distance, dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and reported to him.

"Very good!"

Zhang Fu grinned and said: "This is the general's order. From now on, the entire army will take turns to rest. Brothers have not slept all night."

"As you command!"

The surrounding generals took the order and left.

There are also school captains who continue to patrol with their soldiers to prevent enemy troops from causing chaos in Shenglongfu City.

It turned out that they were overly worried. Their patrol work went smoothly and they did not encounter any resistance along the way.

At this moment, several fast horses galloped from a distance and arrived in front of the new palace.

The leader of the horse reined in his horse and stopped, turned over and jumped off his horse. Then he came to Zhang Fu and saluted with clasped fists.

"My subordinates pay their respects to the Marquis of Xincheng!"

The person who came was none other than Li Jinglong's bodyguard, Cao Ada. He came specifically to deliver a message to Zhang Fu on the orders of Li Jinglong in the new palace. Only when he came could Zhang Fu be sure of the authenticity of the message.

"This subordinate came here on the order of Duke Cao Guo." Cao Ada said.

"Dong Guo Guo is awake?"

"Yes, Duke Cao Guo heard about Marquis Xincheng's emergency response and appreciated it very much. Now Cao Guogong has woken up, but he still has severe back pain and it is difficult to move, so he entrusted Marquis Xincheng to handle other matters with full authority."

"good!"

Zhang Fu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the consequences of Li Jinglong's indiscriminate use of supplements were much less severe than expected, he had been in a coma for so long and was lucky to wake up now. As for the soreness in his back, it was probably because the liver and kidneys were overburdened and needed to recover slowly.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Does Mr. Cao Guo have any explanation?"

"have!"

Cao Ada said: "Cao Guogong asked me to hand this letter to you personally."

After speaking, he took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Fu respectfully with both hands.

Although he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, he is fine with others, but he is not flattering with the Xinchenghou who is destined to become the Duke of the country in the future. What's more, thanks to Xinchenghou's decisive rescue, otherwise the situation would have turned out badly. What it will become, no one can say.

After all, although the Annan people said they were sending troops outside the new palace to protect safety, who knew whether these soldiers would attack in the next moment? After all, it is not safe if your life is in the hands of others.

Zhang Fu took the letter and opened it to read.

Judging from the handwriting, it was dictated by Li Jinglong, and the content is very important.

"This matter will be kept secret for the time being. Remember not to let others know."

After seeing the content of this letter, Zhang Fu basically understood Li Jinglong's negotiation ideas and bottom line.

But Zhang Fu was still a little nervous.

Although he is a young genius and a general, he has gone through a lot of experience, but this is really his first time negotiating.

How can I let myself go? He is just a military attache, and he has lived in the army with his father since he was a child. He has no experience in diplomacy, let alone negotiation.

However, Zhang Fu calmed down. Now he had a huge advantage. Even if he didn't know any negotiation skills and couldn't use his words, he could easily get what he wanted as long as he showed a condescending attitude.

After all, there is a saying that "people under the eaves have to bow their heads."

"Go back and report to the Duke. Please rest assured. The general will not dare to reveal anything. Please rest assured and recover."

Zhang Fu took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied respectfully.

Although Zhang Fu is not old, he is not like those young boys who are like newborn calves. He has experienced several wars and witnessed cruelty. He is fully aware of the responsibilities on his shoulders. He also understands some political rules and understands one truth - -That is people's power, which comes from their trump cards and has nothing to do with age.

If you don't have enough cards, even an older person should be cautious, because every wrong step you make may have serious consequences.

And those who have enough hole cards and can throw them out at will are not afraid of making mistakes.

Zhang Fu wisely chose to hide his emotions. Likewise, he believed that Li Jinglong would be satisfied with his answer.

The so-called "never dare to reveal anything" is not only the content of this letter, but also the reason for Li Jinglong's sudden illness.

After all, Li Jinglong's return to China this time will definitely be of great use since he is back to the top.

Therefore, there is no need for Zhang Fu to offend Li Jinglong, and he will not use this scandal to publicize it.

This is the world of smart people.

Smart people always know how to choose and constantly adapt to maximize their own interests.

"Thank you, Marquis Xincheng, I will take my leave first!"

Cao A clasped his fists, then got on his horse and galloped away.

After Cao Ada left, Zhang Fu looked in the direction of the old palace, with a hint of worry between his brows.

"Marquis Xincheng, what should we do now?" Yunyang Bo Chen Xu asked next to him.

Zhang Fu did not answer him immediately, but fell into silence.

After a while, he suddenly said: "Go down and stay away from the old palace."

"Um?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Fu in confusion, somewhat unable to figure out the thoughts of the Marquis of Xincheng.

The Marquis of New City is a tiger general. According to the past, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, expand the results, directly attack the old palace, and completely occupy Shenglong City.

But now he actually asked the army not to approach the old palace, which seemed a bit abnormal.

Zhang Fu didn't say much. He stood there, looking up at the morning sun, and murmured to himself: "I hope my judgment is not wrong."

Zhang Fu's judgment was indeed correct. Soon, he received a summons from the Annan people in the old palace.

Annan's envoy was none other than the gray-haired Wang Ruzhou.

As the prime minister of Annan Kingdom, Wang Ruzhou still has some reputation. After all, he helped the Ming army a lot and had great influence in Annan Kingdom. Therefore, the Ming army did not embarrass him, but escorted him to see Zhang auxiliary.

"My Highness wants to meet the Marquis of Xincheng."

"one person?"

"yes."

Zhang Fu was not a coward. He quickly arrived in front of the old palace with his cavalry. At this time, he happened to see the gate of the old palace open, and Chen Tianping rode out of the palace.

The two sides rode in the opposite direction alone.

Chen Tianping came to Zhang Fu and clasped his fists in the distance.

"Xinchenghou!"

"Xiao Wang would like to ask, did the Ming army travel thousands of miles to come to Annan for justice?"

"Of course it is so. The Hu family and his son usurped the country unethically. The Ming Dynasty escorted His Highness back to the country to succeed to the throne. This was to provoke the people and punish the disobedient."

Zhang Fu was calm and composed, and said calmly: "The right path is overwhelming, and the righteous are invincible."

"In this case, since the little king is the king of Annan who was personally consecrated by His Majesty the Ming Emperor, will the Marquis of Xincheng lead his army into the city today to attack the little king?"

Chen Tianping was extremely nervous at this time. He knew very well that since the Ming army easily captured the city, if Zhang Fu really felt that Annan needed to change his king, he would just change it at this time.

Because the motives of the Ming army's actions were very sufficient. Except for the accident in the city, the commander suspected the Annan people. It was very normal. It was also normal to send troops to attack the city. As for whether an Annan king would die in the rebellion after the siege. , isn’t it just a matter of Zhang Fu’s words? It's impossible for him to be able to withstand it with just his guards.

And what can Chen Tianping use to negotiate terms with Zhang Fu? The previous withdrawal conditions? From Chen Tianping's point of view, now he is already a piece of cake on someone else's knife. Even if he forces himself to accept it, does he dare not to accept it? After all, today and yesterday are two different situations.

Therefore, Chen Tianping believed that what he could rely on was his legitimate throne recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, this is what he and Zhang Fu have their own concerns.

From Chen Tianping's standpoint, it is easy for him to have the mentality of "since the Ming army has captured the city, it is normal to replace him." But from Zhang Fu's standpoint, although Chen Tianping, the puppet, is not It is irreplaceable, but it is already the best puppet that Ming can find now. The other party has disposed of people without any guilt, who should be promoted to the top? For the benefit of Ming Dynasty, can he do better than Chen Tianping if he is in power? Obviously it can't be found for the time being.

And since Zhang Fu does not intend to kill Chen Tianping, negotiation at this time is naturally the best result.

"His Highness was joking, of course not. Duke Cao Guo just explained that it is understandable that he is eager to save people, but we must not disturb His Highness."

As soon as Zhang Fu said these words, Chen Tianping suddenly fell into a trance. If he hadn't been holding on to the reins tightly, he might have lost his balance on the horse.

Li Jinglong woke up!

This means that his previous actions were not wrong, and his throne will most likely be saved.

After that, it was the negotiation between Chen Tianping and Zhang Fu.

Although the negotiation was originally expected to be held at today's banquet, it is obviously not needed now. The negotiation went very smoothly this time. Although Zhang Fu seemed a little more aggressive, Chen Tianping, who had already planned in his heart, did not struggle. For Zhang Fu Basically, I chose to accept the conditions put forward.

In May of the second year of Yongle, the Ming army on the expedition to Annan began to evacuate Thang Long City.

From May to June, due to limited maritime transport capacity, it took tens of thousands of people to be loaded onto ships and evacuated.

Marshal Li Jinglong, who had been recuperating for a month, also evacuated Annan with the last batch of Ming troops.

However, the Ming Dynasty's garrison in Annam obviously did not evacuate all. Thanh Hoa Port was completely under the control of the Ming army. There were still a small number of Ming troops stationed in the Angel District of Thang Long City, and the trade route from Thanh Hoa Port to Thang Long City , there are Ming army strongholds all along the way.

The Ming army completely completed the military operation against Annan and obtained harvests far beyond imagination. This kind of receipts continued with the dumping of goods.
