Thang Long Palace is located on the right bank of the Red River, at the confluence of the Red River and Su Lek River.
Its geographical location is very important and it was the capital of the later Le Dynasty.
At this time, Mo Jingkuan had already occupied the line of the river, so Zheng Zha and the others stopped directly on the bank.
After getting off the boat, Zheng Zha and Gui Shunzhen went straight to see Mo Jingkuan.
The two of them bowed and saluted, Mo Jingkuan looked unhappy.
Mo Jingkuan's second son, Mo Jingwan, who was standing next to him, said: "Is this how the heavenly dynasty pays homage to the emperor of another country?"
Zheng Zha glanced at him coldly and said: "We will also bow like this when we see the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Is the Emperor of Li Dynasty more noble than me, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"
This statement is somewhat untrue.
When meeting Zhu Youxiao, if you are in the military, you only need to salute as a military salute, but if you are in the court, you still have to kneel down.
However, people from the Mo Dynasty didn’t know, and thought that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were special.
Mo Jingwan was a little embarrassed, and Mo Jingkuan quickly said: "How can our country compare with the Kingdom of Heaven?
Since this ceremony is performed in the Kingdom of Heaven, of course our country can only It needs to be so.”
Zheng Zha thanked Mo Jingkuan, and then asked: "I wonder what your Majesty wants the foreign ministers to do.
Most of the ships brought by the foreign ministers are in Haikou, and the troops here are not very sufficient."
Mo Jingkuan said: "The city wall of Shenglong Mansion is high and thick.
Our army cannot break through it for the time being.
I wonder if your army can do anything about it."
Zheng Zha said: "Most of the ships of our army have not come in.
We can help your majesty break the city wall, but for the rest, please forgive me for my inability to do so."
Mo Jingkuan said: "As long as we can break the city wall, there is no need to worry about the rest."
Zheng Zha said: "Our military ships will sail into Hoan Kiem Lake and attack the city wall with artillery.
Please prepare your troops.
We will begin to attack Thang Long Palace in an hour."
Mo Jingkuan was overjoyed and sent people to prepare for the army's attack.
Mo Jingwan curled his lips, not believing that the Ming army could break through the city wall in just one hour.
Zheng Zha returned to the ship and said frankly to Gui: "I don't need to trouble you this time.
We are not familiar with this place.
It is best to only use artillery instead of sending troops."
Gui Zhunzhen smiled and said: "We are not in a hurry.
It's just best to use explosive bombs this time to scare the Annan people in one go."
Zheng Zha also smiled and said: "This is exactly what I want to do.
I will continue to make the Zheng family afraid, and I will also make the people of Mo Chao afraid."
Hoan Kiem Lake is a small lake that happens to be connected to the Red River by a waterway.
Zheng Zha selected ten gunboats to sail in.
After anchoring, he started shelling.
Mo Jingkuan watched from a distance with his ministers.
Mo Jingwan said: "Father, Ming people only brag.
Less than half an hour has passed.
They want to break the city wall.
Do they think they can attract thunder from the sky?"
At this time, the artillery began to fire, and each ship fired a cannonball that landed on or near the city wall.
Mo Jingwan smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with the city wall.
Now I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty people's lies are too early."
The Ming Army's first artillery shell was used to detect distance in order to adjust the artillery elevation and charge.

After all the cannons were adjusted, the orderlies blew their whistles, and more than a hundred explosive shells flew towards the city wall.
Most of them landed on the city wall, sending the masonry at the top of the city flying in random directions.
Mo Jingwan's expression turned from mocking to solemn, and slowly there was fear on his face.
With such power, if it fell into Mo Chao's army, I'm afraid not a few corpses would be intact.
After a round of bombardment, the artillery began to focus on several seemingly weak places, and replaced them with explosive shells containing only gunpowder.
This greatly reduced the lethality, but caused greater damage to the city wall.
After six rounds of shelling, a section of the city wall finally cracked, opening a hole more than ten feet wide.
The Mo Chao army not far from the city wall was still immersed in the power of the Ming army's artillery and had no idea of attacking.
The Ming army's artillery fire stopped.
Mo Jingkuan finally woke up from a dream and ordered his troops to attack.
Only then did Mo Chaojun react, howling and rushing towards the opening.
Zheng's army in the city had been stunned by the first round of shelling.
Almost all the soldiers on the city wall were wiped out.
When the city wall broke, they didn't know how to block the gap.
They just wanted to stay away from those deadly shells.
Mo Chao's army rushed into Shenglong Mansion with great momentum.
Facing the Zheng army that had no intention of fighting, they were as brave and invincible as if they had taken aphrodisiac.
Fires were lit everywhere in the city, and various screams were heard, which made Mo Jingkuan smile broadly, as if that It's the most beautiful music.
Mo Jingwan hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, the weapons of the Ming army are too powerful.
Please pay attention, father."
Mo Jingkuan glared at him fiercely and said: "Why should we pay attention that the Ming army is here to help us?
Without them, we can only live in the poor place of Gaoping and worry about the Zheng family's attack.
As long as we can defeat Zheng Shi, the Ming army can give them whatever they want.
Don't regard the Ming army as an enemy.
The enemy must be an opponent of equal strength to you.
We and the Ming army are not the same at all.
Don't be afraid of strength that is far beyond yours, because that will not help.
Loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is our only way out. , you are not as good as your brother in this regard.”
Mo Jingwan lowered his head and said, "Father taught you a lesson."
Mo Jingkuan said: "After you have completely occupied the Sheng Long Mansion, send all the valuables in Sheng Long Mansion to the ships of the Ming Army.
If we want to attack Qinghua, we need the help of the Ming Army.
We must have enough rice, food, vegetables and meat." their needs.”
At night, soldiers came to report and captured Zheng Song and Zheng Du.
Mo Jingkuan was overjoyed.
Zheng Song was the current King of Ping'an and the actual controller of the Later Li Dynasty.
With him in his hands, even if Zheng Jie held Li Shenzong hostage, he would still have room to make a difference.
Zheng Song was over seventy years old.
After he was kidnapped by his younger brother Zheng Du, he was locked in a small room.
Finally, a few diehards tried to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, Mo Chao's army captured Shenglong Mansion, so he Together with his younger brother, he became a prisoner of the Mo Chao people.
Mo Jingkuan came to Zheng Song's custody, looked at Zheng Song and said with a smile: "Ni Chen, you can't imagine that one day he will fall into my hands."
Zheng Song glanced at him and said: "Six years ago, the look of you running away in embarrassment is still clear in front of me.
You are proud today, but it is because my brother is stupid and wants to seize the throne, so you have the chance to break the city."
Zheng Du next to him shouted: "Didn't you also take away the position of the boss Zheng Hui, causing him to have no choice but to go to Beitou?
You are old, you are the second son, and I am the third son, you can take the position of the boss , why can't I take your position?

You are the successor to your brother, why should you pass your position to your son instead of your brother?
You say I am stupid, I say you are old and confused."
Zheng Song ignored him and continued: "You used the power of the Ming army to break into Shenglong Mansion today, but how are you going to send them out of the country in the future?
I'm afraid it's easier to invite gods than to send them away
