Chapter 160: Just the fake Ming Dynasty
It has been decades since the Tartars entered the pass, and the land of China has long been sinking, but there are still righteous men who resolutely raise the anti-Qing banner in the border areas overseas.
Such as Xiao Wu and Huang Liangji who went south to Luzon, Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi who went to Annan.
"You can be safe in Annan." Liu Yu looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression and spoke.
Annan is an ancient name in Vietnam. The name Annan comes from the Annan Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty.
In 1406, Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, sent Zhang Fu to lead his army to Annan to destroy the Annan Hu regime, and obtained fifteen prefectures, forty-one prefectures, two hundred and eight counties, three hundred and twenty-two thousand people, and two hundred and seven thousand barbarians.
In response to the request of local officials and elders to "formerly return to the ancient counties", Chengzu changed his name to "Jiaozhi" and set up the Jiaozhi Administrator's Office.
Until Emperor Xuanzong's reign, due to unfavorable rule, rebellions broke out everywhere under the persuasion of famous ministers Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others. Wang Tong and others, who were still in Annan, led more than 80,000 troops to return north and abolished the Jiaozhi Administration Commission.
However, in the 18th year of Jiajing of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Mo Dengyong sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to request surrender, and presented Annan land book and household registration to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court set up the Annan Commander's Office. From then on until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Vietnam has always been an administrative autonomous unit within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
However, when the Tartars entered the pass and the land of China subsided, Annan naturally went out independently.
Thinking of these past events, Liu Yu was deeply moved. Annan was a territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was more than one level higher than Luzon's sinicization.
No wonder generals like Chen Shangchuan and Yang Yandi chose to escape to Annan after the failure of the anti-Qing Dynasty.
"Mr. Chen, Lord Yang was highly valued by Lord Ruan and gave Zhenla to the Ming people. I, Chinese, reclaimed land and established towns in Dongpu, so that the people of Ming people could live and work in peace and contentment." The old man's tone was quite peaceful.
"Yes," Liu Yu nodded.
Compared with the miserable Chinese in Luzon, the treatment of the Ming people in Annan is much better, which is related to the fact that Annan has been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty or has a higher degree of sinicization since ancient times, and the wise monarch of Nguyen Phuc.
The old man mentioned that the Lord Ruan refers to Nguyen Phuc.
It was the fifth Guangnan monarch in the history of the Second Northern and Southern Dynasties in Vietnam.
Yang Yandi and Chen Shangchuan failed to fight against the Qing Dynasty and fled south to Guangnan, asking for protection from Nguyen Phuc.
Nguyen Phuket instructed the two to go to the territory of Zhenla, and with the help of Nguyen Phuket, he forced Zhenla to distribute Dongpu to them.
Later, Dongpo was directly annexed by Nguyen Phuc and established the Jiading Prefecture, which was the predecessor of Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon, Vietnam.
"Mr. Chen and Lord Yang were originally generals of the Ming Dynasty. General Chen was originally an old general of Yongli. Later, he joined the country as the anti-Qing Dynasty. He thought there was no hope of opposing the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Lord led a mighty army south to Luzon to expel Folangji people and occupied Luzon to protect our overseas people of the Ming Dynasty."
"The people of Annanming were also for the overseas people of the Ming Dynasty. When they learned that the Ming people in Luzon were protected by the Ming army from being slaughtered by the Folangji people, they all burst into tears. Lord Chen specially asked me to come and congratulate me." The old man still had a expressionless face and a calm expression.
"It is rare for the two Ming generals to live in Dongpu and lead the people of Ming to live and work in peace. Now the land of China is close to the hands of the Tartars, and Dongpu is still an overseas Taoyuan." Liu Yu nodded and praised.
Being able to lead the Ming people to forcibly capture a piece of land in the Zhenla territory and reclaim wasteland here, establish towns so that the Annan Ming people can live and work in peace, and even hundreds of years later, Vietnam has established its capital here. It is impossible to say that these Ming leaders are still very good at it.
Of course, Liu Yu also knew that Ruan Phuc was about to take in Ming people and surrendered troops to settle the Zhenla area, which was just a strategy to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger, and was finally taken down by Ruan Master to become the land of Guangnan.
"Now we are rebuilding the Ming court in Nanyang. Do you have the intention of submitting to the Ming court?" Liu Yu stared at the old man and asked tentatively.
The whole court suddenly became quiet. The Dongpu envoys present kept silent, staring at the thin old man in front of him.
"Since the 16th year of Yongli, Emperor Zhaozong died in Kunming. Although Zheng Jing still regarded Emperor Yongli as the official title and continued to use the Yongli year name, the Ming Dynasty has been in name only." The old man looked at Liu Yu in the lobby with his turbid eyes and said calmly.
"Although the Ming court of Luzon regarded Emperor Yongli as the prime minister, no one established the Ming royal family as the emperor. Second, they lived overseas islands far away from Ming land, and third, they did not promote the great cause of anti-Qing. How could the Ming court be called? It was just a false Ming." As soon as the old man's words fell, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Su Langqing almost knelt down to the old man in front of him. He dared to say this, but he was still in front of Liu Yu.
Although in Su Langqing's eyes, Liu Yu regarded Emperor Yongli as the upright and rebuilding the Ming court was just a measure to win over the people's hearts, no one would say it blatantly.
This old man is so confused.
All the Ming court officials present were silent, and even the local Chinese officials stared at the old man in the lobby with wide eyes.
"What do you mean by those two adults?" Liu Yu did not get angry and looked at the old man with a gentle expression.
"The two adults just sent me to Luzon to contact the adults. If I could hope that the people of Dongpu Ming and Luzon Ming would have friendly contact and become a family, I hope that the people of Dongpu Ming can go to Luzon to do business." The old man said slowly.
"Of course this." Liu Yu agreed without hesitation.
"Low soon after the Ming people in Dongpu were settled, Zhen La invaded the west, and Lord Ruan was eyeing him in the north. The Ming people in Dongpu were not easy to live, so they could naturally go to Luzon to settle down."
"When doing business, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce can go to Annan for trade. Now the pirates in northern Luzon were also wiped out by our Ming Navy, and the heads of Muhanweili were also sent to Lavag by the Clippers. The peace in the South Ocean could be restored. At that time, the Ming people in Luzon and Annan were connected to each other and reappeared the beauty of our Ming Dynasty." Liu Yu saw a strange look in the eyes of the old man in the hall, as if it had touched something.
"Dongpu gave the Ming people the land for Lord Ruan, but it was actually the land of Zhenla. The Ming people used weapons to seize the land of Dongpu in order to survive and it must have aroused Zhenla's anger. Moreover, many Annan has many Tufans, and they are stubborn and fierce. If the Ming people in Dongpu want to gain a foothold, they will not only be the protection of Lord Ruan." Liu Yu said earnestly.
Dongpu was originally the land of Zhenla. Zhenla was an ancient country in the Indochina Peninsula. Its territory is in the territory of Cambodia. It is the name of the Jimie Kingdom of the Indochina Peninsula in ancient Chinese history books.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Due to civil strife, the throne has been dominated by the king of Annan. Chen Shangchuan and other Ming generals led 3,000 soldiers to join Lord Ruan. Later, they were placed in the Zhenla area by Nguyen Phuc, forcing Zhenla to divide the Dongpu to live in the Ming people. It will inevitably cause hostility from Zhenla and the surrounding Tufans.
Nguyen Phuc could also rely on these Ming people to surrender and even significantly weaken the national strength of Zhenla. At the same time, when the Ming people work hard to cultivate the land of Dongpu, they will take over the land of Dongpu in one fell swoop.
It can be said that it is a good card to play. It has to be said that the closer it is to China, the deeper the strategy of the rulers on its land will be, and the reality will also develop in this way.
In 1688, in order to fight for power and profit, Huang Jin, a subordinate of Yang Yandi, killed Yang Yandi in the Midihaikou and resisted King Zhenla.
King La, Nai Liqiu, also built a city to prepare for defense and refused to surrender to Guangnan. Nguyen Phuc sent the deputy general of the border town, Mei Wanlong, to lead troops to attack, and designed to lead Huang Jin out to kill him through Zhang Wentong and annex Meidi.
In 1698, Nguyen Phuc directly controlled Dongpu and appointed Minister Ruan Youjing to set up Jiading Prefecture in the place and recruited refugees to cultivate locally. He also organized local Ming Dynasty survivors into "Mingxiang Society" and Qing Dynasty people as "Qinghe Society".
In this way, Nguyen Phuc took the verge of controlling Jiading by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that the Ming people in Dongpu worked hard for decades and made a wedding dress for Nguyen Phuc for free.
Looking at these independent Ming people, Liu Yu was not disgusted. It was not easy to protect Ming people overseas in this chaotic era and allow Ming people to live and work in peace and contentment.
