Zheng Zha said to Chen Houfu: "As long as you let me go to Annan this time, from now on, I will not compete with you for any tasks you want."
This sentence made Chen Houfu give up.
In fact, he was not very interested in Annan recently.
With the geographical location of Annan, Ming Dynasty could easily incorporate it into its territory if it did not continue to develop.
And the distant big island that the emperor once said was the place he dreamed of.
Huang Kezuan took out the map of Annan and said: "There are now three forces in Annan.
The Mo Dynasty in the north only has Gaoping, which is the weakest.
Because of its weak power, they need our help even more.
The special envoy of the Mo Dynasty has promised to help , we can set aside an area of 20 miles long and wide at the mouth of the Red River for the people of the Ming Dynasty to live. " Chen Houfu said: "It's too small.
Can we get a bigger place?"
Zheng Zha said: "It doesn't matter how big or small it is, it's best to take it all together in the end."
Huang Kezuan said: "Annan can't be solved in one day, so let's find a place first, which is convenient for entry and exit.
Hongsheng will take a good look there this time and find a suitable place."
Zheng Zha nodded and said: "I understand.
I will tell you how many ships I will take this time."
Huang Kezuan said: "If you don't move, that's it.
If you move, they will be unable to resist.
So we have to act like a lion and a rabbit.
The Dutch are relatively quiet now, and the Japanese fleet is coming back soon.
Take away everything you can."
Just take them away and leave some patrol troops."
Now that the officials have built the fort, at least there is no need to worry about the safety of the Imperial Palace.
Huang Kezuan asked Zheng Zha to take more than 200 ships to Annan, including four Fu ships with cannons, 80 ordinary warships, and 100 support ships.
There are 6,000 navy troops and 6,000 guardsmen.
Zheng Zha looked at the map and said: "Our navy can reach Qinghua directly, bombard the offshore areas at sea, and then land.
If Mo Chao cooperates well, the Zheng family should be easy to solve.
It's just that the Ruan family in the south is in some trouble."
Huang Kezuan said: "Regarding the war in Annan, before coming to the South China Sea, the emperor once said, don't go deep, use the Annan people to fight the Annan people.
After we occupy their city, we will defend the city.
The battles in other places will be left to the Annan people themselves."
Go and fight.
So I want to remind you not to go deep into the dense forest.
The emperor said that no one can fight the native Annan people in the dense forest."
Zheng Zha was a little unconvinced.
In his opinion, the Ming Dynasty could defeat any army, but since the emperor repeatedly told him, it was better to obey.
Otherwise, if you lose, your head will definitely fall off.
Even if you win, your head will not be very stable.
Huang Kezuan said: "The emperor said that the weather in the Ming Dynasty is getting colder and colder, and Annan is rich in products, especially their rice, which can help us solve the problem of food shortage in the north, so the focus is on getting rice, don't think about it all at once Just occupy the entire Annan.
Your Majesty is young, and so are you.
Ming Dynasty has enough time to make Annan never rebel again, instead of occupying and revolting like before.
As an old man, I am not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry. ” Zheng Zha bowed and thanked him: "I thank you for your advice.
I will definitely remember the emperor's teachings and advice, and slowly bring Annan under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, so that it will never change."
Huang Kezuan said: "Remember, impatience is the most undesirable emotion.
You have to take your time.
It takes two or three generations to merge a country under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Okay, let's attack the Zheng family first and wait for news from Cui Shilang.
Then decide on the strategy against Ruan."
The Mo Dynasty agreed to send troops to Gaoping on October 21st and asked the Ming Dynasty to attack Thanh Hoa on October 29th.
It was now the ninth day of October.
Zheng Zha carried out intense mobilization.
After the soldiers were adjusted and the items were packed, he set off from Taiwan on October 24th, aiming for Thanh Hoa, the capital of the Hou Le Dynasty.
Time was not tight, so Zheng Zha practiced his troops along the way, especially perfecting the flag language.
The soldiers have been training in Taiwan, Japan and other places, and there is also a process of adaptation when they come here.
Finally, we arrived about fifty miles outside Qinghua on the evening of October 27th.
There are very few Annan naval forces because their enemies are all at home.
After a few patrol boats were caught by the Ming army, some information was obtained.
As expected, Mo Jingkuan sent troops to Gaoping on October 21, with his mind calculated but not his intention, and the Zheng family just happened to be Zheng Jie and his uncle Zheng Du fighting for power.
The border was empty, and Mo Jingkuan quickly reached Hanoi, Thang Long Prefecture.
At this time, Zheng Du kidnapped his brother Zheng Song, killed his nephew Zheng Chun, and wanted to inherit the title of King Ping'an.
Zheng Chi, regardless of his father's life and death, took Le Shen Tong, the titular emperor of the later Le Dynasty, to Thanh Hoa to confront his uncle.
The two sides fought against each other, and the army of the later Li Dynasty divided into two sides and fought fiercely, which made Mo Jingkuan the fisherman gain.
He quickly sent someone to contact the Ming Dynasty navy, hoping to attack Shenglong Mansion instead.
His men were very capable and knew that the Ming army should be not far from the sea outside Qinghua, so they dispatched several small boats nearby to conduct a dragnet-style collision investigation.
One ship was lucky enough to be captured by the Ming Navy, and Zheng Zha learned the news.
Zheng Zha was very angry at Mo Chaoren's temporary change of mind.
He asked someone to take out the map, looked at it carefully and asked Mo Chaolai: "Can our boat cross this river?"
Mo Chaoren said: "All big ships with three thousand materials can enter Shenglong Mansion.
I'm afraid the big ships from Shangguo can't, but other ships can."
Zheng Zha said to Gui Chunzhen, the Guards brigade commander who was following him: "Then we have to agree before we go in.
We can only shoot cannons in the river.
We will rely on you when we get ashore."
Guizhen was a student in the first batch of Jiangwu Hall.
Before he graduated, he was sent to command the Naval Brigade of the Guards under Huang Kezuan.
He had killed Jian slaves in Liaodong, but he had no regard for the short, dark-skinned Annan people.
He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Commander Zheng, we will capture Shenglong Mansion in one day."
Under the leadership of Mo Chaoren, Zheng Zha led people to the mouth of the Red River.
Zheng Zha looked at the mouth of the river and said, "This is the place assigned to us.
It's a good place.
I like it.
Our navy can build a port here."
Gui Zhunzhen asked: "This place is too close to Shenglong Mansion, will they be willing?"
Zheng Zha sneered: "It's best not to want to."
Gui Sunzhen also smiled and said: "Yeah, it's best not to want to."
Dafu ships could not enter the Red River.
Zheng Zha only allowed gunboats and troop ships to enter the river, and other ships were temporarily stationed here.
Anyway, you only need to bring three days' worth of food and ammunition.
No one would believe that Shenglong Mansion could not be captured in three days.
The fleet slowly moved inward along the Red River.
At this time, the sails were furled and the paddle wheel was used.
It didn't take much time.
