Emperor Chongzhen arrived at Lin'an Prefecture in Yunnan and was resting and recuperating when he was about to enter Hekou Town in Annan. He did not continue to drive after a day according to the previous marching rules.

Emperor Chongzhen himself, every day, either drank and ate meat in the Central Army camp, tasted Yunnan's special fruits, appreciated local dances, or summoned local officials to comment on some local government affairs, and even wrote books to teach some natural knowledge. It was as if he had brought his army to the Annan border, and he was not about to attack Annan soon, but came to Lin'an Prefecture to inspect.

However, the army was not idle. Not only did the army take turns to train in the rain forest, but military supplies were also sent from Kunming and Guangxi.

This news was naturally spied by the careful worker from Annan, and immediately reported it to the Allied Army Headquarters.

Needless to say, the leader of the alliance was naturally the most powerful Zheng Jian. After hearing the detailed report, he couldn't help but be surprised. After confirming that the Ming army did indeed station troops on the border and did not immediately attack Annan. This made him frown immediately, and immediately glanced at both sides and asked, "I wonder what you think?"

"I guess the Emperor of Ming Dynasty knew that we were all united and feared our allies in his heart, so he did not dare to step into Annan!" Aibid, the leader of the Dutch, was the first to stand up and say.

Mo Jingyu didn't think so much about his statement, and immediately stood up and retorted: "No, no, no, if the Emperor of Ming Dynasty really feared us and joined forces, he would not issue the order explicitly, and offend us all at once!"

The leader of the Nguyen tribe, naturally their crown prince, Nguyen Phu Bing, nodded and agreed with Mo Jingyu's words: "That's right, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is definitely not afraid of our alliance, he must have other plans!"

"What would that be the plan?" Anders of Portugal asked quickly.

After hearing this, Ruan Phuket frowned and said, "On the surface, the Ming army is still hoarding materials. It seems that the Ming emperor did not expect that we would unite so soon. The military supplies we prepared were not enough, so we had to wait for subsequent replenishment. But in my opinion, this is not the real reason for the Ming emperor!"

"Then what is his real reason?" Mo Jingyu was obviously a little nervous when he heard this, and asked hurriedly.

Nguyen Phuket turned his head and looked at him, shook his head and said, "At least it's hard to say for the time being, it depends on what the Emperor of Ming will do next?"

Zheng Jian in the main seat nodded repeatedly when he heard this, looking at Ruan Phuket, he felt very appreciative.

After he and Nguyen Phuc began to contact each other, he felt that this son was extraordinary, and Cao Cao sighed that he should be like Sun Zhongmou when he was sighing that he should have a son.

His idea is almost the same as Nguyen Phuc.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty fought south and north, and fought too much war, which was definitely not the master of boasting. If you don’t say anything else, just talk about the example of Midongwu. Why was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty afraid of 30,000 to 300,000?

To be honest, Annan is just an allied force united by various forces, far from Dongwu, who is just a king. The Ming emperor can even deal with Dongwu, and he is afraid that Annan will be blamed!

Thinking of this, Zheng Jian couldn't help but be stunned. He immediately thought of a possibility.

Suddenly, his face turned a little ugly. When he glanced at the representatives of various forces below, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Emperor of Ming was the purpose. What made him feel even more unsure was that he had to admit that the Emperor of Ming had definitely achieved this trick!

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw that Nguyen Phuket's expression was a bit ugly, and at the same time, he turned to look at him.

Zheng Yan and Ruan Phuket were just a couple, and they suddenly understood in their hearts that the other party should have gone with them.

However, even if you understand, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was definitely an open conspiracy, and even if you know, it would be difficult to deal with it.

What to do? What to do?

Zheng Jian was worried in his heart, and suddenly, he heard Ruan Phuc's words say, "So, since the Emperor of Ming does not come, then we will take the initiative to attack and fight the Emperor of Ming!"

When he heard this, Mo Jingyu jumped up first and immediately shouted: "What do you mean? Haven't we all discussed it? First lure the enemy into depth, resist step by step, and finally rely on the geographical advantage to fight the Ming army to fight to the decisive battle. If he takes the initiative to attack, wouldn't he give up the geographical advantage and let the Ming army wait for work, how can he do it?"

Aibide was rejected before, and was a little depressed. After hearing this, he shook his head and opposed it: "Can you fight? We, the Doming Army, have so many troops, why should we get together? Let the Emperor of Ming come and siege him again, and cut off his reinforcements. With our cannons there, are you afraid that they can stand by and wait for assistance?"

Although Anders had a ghost in his heart, from the perspective of war, he was also a little strange. How could the prince, who has always been wise, change his mind and make good use of his own advantages without using it, and insist on taking the initiative to attack the Ming army?

So he asked, "Why change your mind, there is always a reason?"

Hearing their question, Nguyen Phuc turned his head and looked at the leader of the alliance and said word by word: "Because the Emperor of Ming can afford it, we can't afford it!"

"Why can't you afford it?" Mo Jingyu felt a little confused when he heard this. He thought Ruan Phuc had forgotten about it, so he reminded him, "The food and supplies of our army are provided by each of us, and we are not just from the King of Qingdu. Who can't afford it?"

As they said this, they saw Zheng Ruan and both looked at him, and there seemed to be a little insulting in their eyes. Suddenly, his neck suddenly turned red, and he raised his voice and said, "Besides, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has a lot of trouble. He doesn't want to go back to the capital. He can't afford to waste it!"

After saying that, he felt that Zheng Ruan and the others looked at him, and they still looked at him with contempt, so he snorted, not wanting to speak anymore.

It's really too much. If I hadn't wanted to do something, I would have wanted to leave!

Then the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is really true. If you come to Annan to quell the rebellion, you should quell the rebellion. He is the most welcome, but why do you still say that you are incompetent and want to be punished?

If there is, it is hard to say about Ruan Phuc. As the leader of the alliance, Zheng Jian had to explain after seeing the confusion of others: "If we keep consuming it, even if we put the overall situation first and unity first, the people below will inevitably change over time."

What he said can actually be ignored by Mo Jingyu, mainly Zheng Jun and Ruan Jun. After all, they were all enemies in the past. If you kill me and I kill you, you will all be a deadly enemy.

Zheng Ye and Nguyen Phuc is able to unite for the sake of interests, but the people below cannot control so much. After a long time, there will be no reconciliation. Instead, there will be friction due to various factors and eventually a major conflict will break out. By that time, it will be very difficult for both Zheng Ye and Nguyen Phuc.

What's more, if Zheng Jian had a strange intention and wanted to kill General Ruan Army and annex Ruan Army over time, is there any possibility?

If it continues like this for a long time, no one can guarantee it.

Similarly, if Nguyen Phuc's side had a strange intention and took advantage of the army in the north and suddenly launched a mutiny, captured or killed Zheng Jian, and defeated his old enemy for many years, is there such a possibility? No one dares to guarantee it!

Believe it or not, if the Emperor of Ming suddenly led his troops back to the north because of something happened at this time. The first time the news came back to Annan, Zheng and Ruan's army would be able to get their brains immediately!

The previous covenant is not worth mentioning in the face of huge benefits!

After Zheng Jian said that, Mo Jingyu was not that stupid, and immediately understood. No matter how much he promised, no matter how he took blood as an alliance, or took the prince as a hostage, the Zheng and Ruan families could not make up for each other. They were still wary of each other.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt gloating, making you strong, haha!

However, Dutch Abid and Portuguese Anders couldn't understand it, and even suggested that as long as they strictly control their respective troops and prevent the possibility of contact among the people below, wouldn't that be enough?

There is no need to explain in detail what is involved. Of course, the best thing is to station separately, be in touch with each other and fight with each other.

Just like the Battle of Red Cliffs during the Three Kingdoms, Sun and Liu joined forces, but the army was not together, but supported each other, so that there would be less trouble.

However, their terrain determined that this method was impossible. Annan was a long and narrow coastline. The Ming army's attack, from north to south, would mean that the Zheng family's territory had been captured by the Ming army.

It was also because of this that Ruan Army went north and fought with Zheng Army to jointly deal with the Ming Army.

At this time, neither Zheng Jian nor Ruan Phoenix could change his mind and lead the army north immediately. There was no conclusion in this military discussion. Only by begging the gods, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not so treacherous, and he really needed to supplement military supplies to stay wherever he stayed.

Or maybe something big happens in the Ming Dynasty so that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will not care about Annan and go back to the north as soon as possible!

If it is an ordinary emperor, it will never be outside for too long. Otherwise, the emperor will easily change if he leaves the capital for too long.

After Emperor Chongzhen left the capital and headed south at the end of last year, it was almost a year before and he was still in the south. This situation is really rare.

Naturally, they didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had a golden finger and knew the situation in the capital well. In addition, his prestige was at its peak. He had sorted out all the ministers in the court, so he didn't have to worry about anything. His situation could not be viewed from the previous perspective.

Therefore, Zheng Jian and Ruan Phuc were lucky and waited for a few days, but they still did not see any signs of Emperor Chongzhen leading troops to attack. The army gathered here, and the longer the time delayed, the more subtle the situation. In the end, Zheng Jian, as the leader of the alliance, knew that he could not continue like this.
