    At the mouth of the Yangtze River, more than ten large ships were slowly coming from the north, heading towards the Songhu Huangpu River Port.

    Liu Jin stood at the bow of the boat, thinking a lot.

    This time, his good minister of household affairs was captured by Emperor Hongzhi, and he went into battle again, accompanying the army to conquer Nanyang.

    Annan Yelang was arrogant and provoked the Ming Dynasty wantonly. He invaded Longzhou, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. The Ming Dynasty was furious, and the emperor sent 100,000 troops to conquer Annan.

    This time, the British Duke Zhang Mao was still the commander-in-chief, Liu Jin and Wang Shouren were the dog-headed military advisors, and Polu Hou Yang Yun was the vanguard general. They defeated 90,000 new troops and 10,000 naval forces and attacked Annan from both land and sea directions.  .

    Zhang Mao and Yang Yun led the army to assemble from land to Guangxi very early. As for Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, they commanded 10,000 naval forces to set off from Tianjin to assemble in Qiongzhou, and then join forces to attack Annan.  .

    This time is different from any other attack on Annan in history, because after Liu Jin and Zhang Mao discussed it, they no longer used the traditional method of attack.

    In the past, when attacking Annan, we basically gathered large armies from Yunnan and Guangxi, crossed the 100,000-mountain mountain, and then attacked Annan. However, this plan had a big drawback.

    That is the existence of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

    "One Hundred Thousand Mountains", just from the name alone, there are one hundred thousand mountains.

    In an era when transportation conditions were extremely backward, it was extremely difficult for a large army to pass through the miasma-ridden, dense and primitive Shiwanda Mountains. Even if there were thousands of troops, it would be difficult to deploy in such a place, and it would take a long time.  able to pass.

    "Moreover, Annan built a city gate at the pass of Shiwanda Mountain. Once you guard the city gate, one man can guard the gate and no ten thousand men can open it. No matter how many and strong your army is, it will be very difficult to defeat it.

    This is also the reason why after the territory of past dynasties expanded to Yunnan and Guangxi, it was difficult to continue to expand southward, because from Yunnan and Sichuan to Myanmar, you encountered the Hengduan Mountains, which are larger than the Hundred Thousand Mountains.  Even more dangerous.

    Even in the era of advanced technology and transportation in later generations, the Hengduan Mountains are still sparsely populated and traffic is blocked. You can imagine that in ancient times, no matter how powerful you were, it would be difficult for you to continue to expand.  .

    To the south, Yunnan and Guangxi are blocked by hundreds of thousands of mountains. These areas are basically virgin forests, sparsely populated, and plagued with miasma, so much so that the ancestors who had the land were not enough to provide food, and the people were not enough to make orders.  training.

    Naturally, China's influence has reached its limit here. The territory of the past dynasties has not been able to continue to expand. The main reason is because of this geography.

    After studying this situation carefully, Zhang Mao and Liu Jin decided to adopt a brand new offensive method, which was the colonial era style of play.

    Attack Annan from the sea.

    The terrain of Annan is high to the north and west, with plains to the east and south, and to the east is the Gulf of Tonkin. If you attack from the sea, you can directly bypass the Shiwan Mountains and attack Tokyo, the core of Annan (later Hanoi, in  It changed its name quite frequently for this matter. It has successively had names such as Longyuan, Longbian, Zhongjing, Kyoto, Dongjun, Tokyo, Zhongdu, Shangjing, Beicheng, etc. Don¡¯t think it is the Tokyo of the Japanese country in later generations).

    Annan built many passes on Shiwanda Mountain to the north to guard against the Ming Dynasty's attack. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain of Shiwandashan, Annan always felt confident.

    ??The main reason for often provoking the Ming Dynasty is that they feel that the Ming Dynasty cannot do anything to it. With the existence of a hundred thousand mountains, the Ming Dynasty's tens of thousands of troops cannot get through at all.

    As for sending hundreds of thousands of troops at once, it seems that except for Emperor Yongle, no emperor in the past has had such courage, because Annan is simply not worth sending hundreds of thousands of troops to attack.

    ?????????????????????????? It¡¯s useless to defeat it, and you won¡¯t collect much in taxes and money. If you can¡¯t defeat it, not only will you lose troops, but you will also lose the majesty of the Ming Dynasty.

    This is an important reason why Annan was confident and repeatedly provoked the Ming Dynasty.

    Once you bypass Annan¡¯s heavily defended Hundred Thousand Mountains from the sea, directly attacking the Red River Delta, the core of the plain, is equivalent to stabbing Annan¡¯s heart with a knife.

    There is no need for an army of hundreds of thousands; an army of tens of thousands is enough.

    Of course, this time it was not only to sweep Ping'an South, but also to annex Champa, sweep away those small countries in Nanyang, annex more lands and islands, and to draw the new army out again and again, so it also sent out ten troops.  Ten thousand.

    These 100,000 are all real numbers, notThere are no city walls, only cement roads extending in all directions, dividing the entire Songhu into regions. Along both sides of the Huangpu River, a metropolis that is completely different from any previous city is developing rapidly.

    "Now that Songhu has developed, these big businessmen and big families in the south can almost be tied to the chariot of capitalism and colonialism. Even if someone brings up the sea ban in the future, I guess they don't have to take action themselves. These people are enough  Clean them up."

    Looking at Songhu in front of him, Liu Jin smiled unconsciously.

    Thinking that this time the government and the public agreed that troops should be sent to Annan, Liu Jin smiled. Those who opposed the use of force in the past have disappeared. Are they all dead?

    Of course not, it¡¯s just that their interest class has changed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
