Mo Jingwan bowed and said: "Mr.
Sun Ge can let the Ming army enter Gaoping at any time, and the same goes for the civil affairs officials.
The officials of Nanyue Kingdom will handle the handover with the Ming officials.
This matter is handled by my brother Wang personally.
Please ask Mr.
Ge rest assured."
The Ming Dynasty got the area north of Caoping and the right to garrison troops in Thang Long and Hue.
This kind of gain can actually be considered very big.
But what Zhu Youxiao actually wanted to do most was in the reward: let the South Vietnamese take the imperial examination.
Xiang Ye only thought of spreading the teachings of saints to barbaric places such as South Vietnam, but Zhu Youxiao understood that as long as South Vietnamese people use Chinese characters and learn Chinese civilization, there will never be Vietnam or China in later generations.
It becomes a feud situation.
As long as the South Vietnamese take the imperial examination and study in the capital's universities, within twenty years, the elite of South Vietnam will all be pro-Ming faction.
Ming Dynasty will not need to use force at that time.
With a little manipulation, they will actively ask to join Ming Dynasty and become a Chief Secretary of Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, South Vietnam was the only way for the Ming Dynasty to enter Southeast Asia from the sea.
In addition to South Vietnam, there were also many countries such as Chenla, Siam, and Myanmar.
Only by holding South Vietnam in our hands can we attempt to control the entire Southeast Asia.
Mo Jingkuan only paid for the barren land north of Gaoping, plus a small area of the river mouth, in exchange for the most complete support of the Ming Dynasty.
There are Ming troops stationed in Thang Long and Hue.
Even if there is only a small banner of troops, it can make the enemy weigh whether they dare to face the wrath of the Ming.
With Ming's endorsement, he is the most legitimate ruler of South Vietnam.
The two parties had a good chat at the banquet after the court meeting.
During the banquet, the Minister of Honglu Temple introduced various people he might interact with in the future to the Nanyue Prince.
With Mo Jingwan's deliberate friendship, they quickly became familiar with each other.
At this time, Cui Chengxiu had returned to Qinghua City.
He asked to see Mo Jingkuan and proposed to escort Li Weiqi, the later Li Shenzong, to the capital of Ming Dynasty.
Mo Jingkuan naturally agreed and handed Li Weiqi and his family to Cui Chengxiu.
After Cui Chengxiu said goodbye to Mo Jingkuan, he immediately took Li Weiqi and his family to sail out to sea.
When he was about thirty miles away from Thanh Hoa, he ordered to turn immediately and go to Hue.
In Hue, he handed over his family to Lord Nguyen.
Then he happily returned to the capital with the formal agreement in exchange.
When he submitted the agreement to the emperor, Zhu Youxiao was very happy.
First of all, rice is urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ruan family is willing to provide a place for the Ming Dynasty to build a dock, which gives the Ming Dynasty the opportunity to station its navy.
With the Ming Dynasty's naval superiority, the Ruan family's Guangnan Kingdom will be in the palm of the Ming Dynasty. .
Cui Chengxiu said: "If Your Majesty makes the Ruan family the head of the country, then the emperor of the Later Li Dynasty will have no role.
The Ruan family will directly serve the Ming Dynasty as the leader, which is much better than having a Hou Li emperor in the middle."
Zhu Youxiao asked doubtfully: "Since Ruan agreed to these conditions on the condition of the future Emperor Li, do you think he would be willing for me to make him the king of the country?"
Cui Chengxiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I think so.
I feel that since he has become the king of the country, he can only be granted the title of emperor of the Later Li Dynasty.
Obviously, it is more beneficial to him to be the king of the country."
Zhu Youxiao said: "There is no problem in making him the king of Guangnan.
He is fighting with the Mo family, and both families are asking for help from us.
This is a good thing.
But I don't think he will accept the title."
Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, since we have determined that he will not accept the ban, then we will not ban him now until we want to beat him.

If he does not accept it, don't we just have an excuse?"
Zhu Youxiao felt that this method was not very reliable, but it was too early to talk about attacking Guangnan.
Maintaining the status quo like this seemed to be a good choice.
Who knows how the situation will change in the future.
As for the construction of the pier, it can be started immediately.
The royal construction team sent a steward, three graduate students, and five craftsmen to Hue City with a ship of Ming troops.
Ruan Fuyuan kept his word and found a harbor near Hue City that could be used to build a port.
The harbor is horseshoe-shaped, with its mouth facing northeast.
It is nearly thirty miles long from north to south and twenty miles wide from east to west, and the water depth is often more than three feet.
There is Shancha Peninsula in the south of the bay, Han Island in the north as a barrier, and Wuxing Mountain and Fuxiang Mountain as protection along the coast.
The situation is dangerous and the wind shelter conditions are good.
When the graduate students saw this terrain, their eyes almost bulged out.
This is simply a natural harbor, but unfortunately the area allocated to Ming Dynasty is too small.
It would be perfect if the entire harbor was allocated to Ming Dynasty.
The steward said: "They only have two piers here anyway, and the piers are smaller than the ones we want to build.
After we build a pier first, if there are many ships, it would be good to temporarily park them in the harbor.
Maybe the emperor will let them pay more Let’s repair some areas first, this is a big project.”
What Ruan Fuyuan assigned to Daming was a section near Han Island.
The students and craftsmen from the institute discussed and drew a construction sketch based on the terrain, while the stewards were led by local Ruan officials to summon Ruan migrant workers to check the situation of the stone mountain.
After the steward gave Official Ruan a bag of silver coins, Official Ruan immediately became very enthusiastic.
Helping the steward recruit workers and lowering the price, the steward was able to recruit a thousand migrant workers at a very cost-effective price, and also obtained the right to use a rock mountain not far from here.
Moreover, the steward promised to let them build a temporary residence more than a mile away from the sea, so the first thing these migrant workers did was to repair the house.
The house where the adults lived was better repaired, and their own work shed was relatively simple.
Building a port and wharf is a time-consuming and labor-intensive matter.
Although the wharf that the Ming people wanted to build was not big, it still took more than a year.
It was almost completed by the end of the fifth year of Tianqi.
This was despite the continuous increase of migrant workers.
Just finished.
After Ruan Fuyuan received Li Weiqi, in order to prove the legitimacy of his rule, he built a palace specifically for Li Weiqi and publicized Li Weiqi's arrival in Guangnan.
Mo Jingkuan soon found out.
Mo Jingkuan handed Li Weiqi over to Cui Chengxiu, but Li Weiqi ended up in Guangnan instead, which made him very passive and annoyed.
So he wrote a note and had it sent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and handed it over to Mo Jingwan to present to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
After Zhu Youxiao received Mo Jingwan's complaint, he had no choice but to comfort him with good words, saying that he would definitely give an explanation to the vassal state, so he summoned Cui Chengxiu and asked him why he deceived Mo Jingkuan.
Cui Chengxiu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, at that time the Emperor of Li Dynasty had no effect on Mo Jingkuan, and the prerequisite for signing the agreement between me and the Ruan family was to transport the Emperor of Li Dynasty to Guangnan.
If I directly said that I wanted to transport the Emperor of Li Dynasty to Guangnan Mo Jingkuan obviously would not agree to handing it over to the Ruan family, so I used a trick to secretly cross Chencang and smuggle the Emperor of Li Dynasty to the Ruan family in Guangnan
