Cui Chengxiu said: "Since the Ruan family cannot be conquered by force now, it is even more necessary for me to mediate with them to prepare for future possession by force."
Zheng Zha gave a military salute and said: "Then I wish the censor a good journey."
Cui Chengxiu commandeered a navy transport ship and took his entourage to stay at Feifu Port, while Zheng Zha began to negotiate with Mo Jingkuan about the division of the spoils after the war.
Mo Jingkuan agreed to set aside a place at the mouth of the Red River for Ming immigrants to live in order to support the food needs of the Ming navy.
Huang Kezuan sent a special envoy to bring immigrants from Leizhou Prefecture, Guangdong Province to the mouth of the Red River.
Officials from the Mo Dynasty took special envoys, Zheng Zha and others to carefully investigate the local situation.
It was just a small fishing village with a population of just over a hundred.
After negotiation between the two parties, an area measuring 23 miles from east to west and 19 miles from north to south was designated for Chinese immigrants to live in.
As for the fishermen who originally lived here, when the special envoy consulted their opinions, they all expressed their willingness to join the Ming Dynasty and become Ming citizens.
The special envoy tentatively named the place Hekou, and the official name will have to wait for the emperor to decide.
There were more than 3,000 immigrants in total, and each person was assigned fifty acres of land.
They only occupied a very small part of the land in total.
Therefore, the special envoy had to go back immediately to ask Huang Kezuan for instructions to recruit more immigrants from Leizhou Prefecture or Qiongzhou Prefecture and occupy this place.
Huang Kezuan then wrote a letter to Leizhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture, and Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangdong, requiring each prefecture to provide more than 3,000 immigrants, either farmers or fishermen.
They also promised that each of these immigrants would be allocated fifty acres of paddy fields and would not have to pay taxes for five years.
The fishermen also followed suit.
These three prefectures are all close to the sea and have a large population.
When they heard about such a good thing, naturally everyone rushed to immigrate here.
As a result, more than 12,000 immigrants were recruited in the three states.
The Nanhai Economic and Strategy Office entrusted the agricultural cooperative to purchase a large number of buffaloes and transport them to the mouth of the river.
The Agricultural Cooperative Hekou Branch was officially established.
Buffaloes are not given to immigrants for free, but are given to farmers on a lease basis.
The annual rent for a buffalo is one stone of rice.
After five years, a strong buffalo that is three to four years old must be returned to the agricultural cooperative.
One person has fifty acres of paddy field.
It is almost unimaginable to cultivate it without buffaloes.
Because here there are three crops a year and the working hours are long, so the buffalo leasing business is very good.
Every family is willing to rent cattle, so the cooperative has to A group of buffaloes were purchased from the mainland and Annan to barely meet the needs.
The river mouth is very suitable for building a dock, but there is currently a shortage of manpower, so only a temporary mooring point has been built for the navy ships to dock temporarily.
The original Thanh Hoa port was handed over to the Ming Navy from the Mo Dynasty, and Zheng Zha's fleet was anchored here.
Mo Jingkuan saw the power of the Ming army's artillery twice and was full of confidence in unifying Annan.
He also knew that without the help of the Ming army, it would be impossible to defeat the Ruan family, so he asked the crown prince Mo Jingyu to befriend Zheng Zha, and the Ming army would satisfy all their demands.
Of course, he also knew that the decision-making power was still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty emperor and his South China Sea planner Huang Kezuan.
So he asked his second son Mo Jingwan to go to the Ming Dynasty in the name of paying tribute, and first asked Zheng Zha to send someone to escort him to Taiwan.
After being taught a lesson by his father several times, Mo Jingwan witnessed the force of the Ming army, so he has now become a firm pro-Ming faction.
After seeing Huang Kezuan, he first saluted and said: "Prince Mo Jingwan of Annan Damochao pays homage to the imperial envoy of the Kingdom of China."
Huang Kezuan hurriedly stepped forward to support him and prevent him from saluting: "Your Highness, this cannot be done.
You are the special envoy of Emperor Mo, and foreign ministers should salute first."
Mo Jingwan cried: "I, the Mo Dynasty, were forced by rebellion and retreated to Gaoping, but it was thanks to the Ming Dynasty.
Our country defeated the Zheng family today only with the help of the Ming Dynasty navy.
Our country is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty forever.
Lord, I will be the vassal of the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation."
Huang Kezuan advised: "Mo Chao's loyalty is known in this book.
If I report it to our emperor, my emperor will definitely reward Emperor Mo."
Mo Jingwan said: "I hate the Hengshan area.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
The Ruan family's rebellion has not been eliminated.
Our court wants to completely secure Annan, but we are unable to do so.
We want to borrow troops from the Ming Dynasty.
Please also ask the imperial envoy to state it."
Huang Kezuan smiled and said: "Prince, don't worry, although our emperor is young, his ideas are very stable.
If you go to Beijing this time and state your thoughts directly, our emperor will naturally give you a satisfactory answer."
Mo Jingwan saw that he didn't relent and helped, but he was very satisfied that he didn't stand in the way.
He believed that the conditions he proposed would definitely satisfy the Ming emperor, and he agreed to send troops to help annihilate the Ruan family.
At that time, we can unify Annan and the kingdoms of Champa, Zhenla, and Ailao.
At this time, Cui Chengxiu had arrived at Feifu Port.
Feifu is what Westerners call it.
The local name is Hoi An Town.
After he entered the port, he found that there were many Chinese businessmen here.
Hoi An is still a long way from Hue, and Cui Chengxiu is planning to go to Hue to meet Lord Nguyen the next day.
After dinner, it was getting dark.
While he was sitting in his room thinking about tomorrow's strategy, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
He jumped up, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand and said: "Whoever" his followers ask for permission to see will make a noise outside and will never knock on the door.
"Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Wang Jianxiong asks to see the imperial envoy."
A deep voice sounded from outside.
Cui Chengxiu felt a little relieved.
He held the sword in one hand and opened the door with the other.
A man in his thirties bowed and remained motionless.
Cui Chengxiu stepped back and sat on a chair.
Wang Jianxiong slowly walked in and saluted with a military salute.
Cui Chengxiu put away his sword and said, "You have to be more vigilant here."
Wang Jianxiong said: "I admire the imperial envoy for being so attentive.
There are ten guards in brocade robes, and they have been in Hoi An for two years as businessmen.
Their mission is to find out the information about the Ruan family in the south, so as to provide it to your Majesty for decision-making. " Cui Chengxiu said: "Jinyiwei came here two years ago and is really well prepared."
Wang Jianxiong said: "After the He Zhongwei incident two years ago, the emperor asked me, Jin Yiwei, to send personnel to the three sides of Annan to collect intelligence in anticipation of our army's arrival.
Today, when my subordinates saw our Ming army warships, they took notice, so I followed the Imperial Envoy to the hotel.
When I got the news, I came to report to the Imperial Envoy about the Ruan family."
Cui Chengxiu was worried that he didn't know anything about Ruan's situation, so he was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news.
Wang Jianxiong handed over a thin booklet and said: "This is a copy of the summary of the situation investigated by the Jinyiwei in the past two years.
The original copy has been sent to the capital not long ago.
The records in it are complex, covering the military, geography, and economy.
Originally, It is prepared for the army.
But the imperial envoy should be interested in the political situation in the south.
I will first tell the imperial envoy the basic situation, maybe it will be useful
