Qiming 1158

Chapter 1376 "Annan's Rebellion"

On March [-], the ninth year of Hongwu, the gates of Shenglong City, which had been in chaos for three days, opened, and the "Emperor" Li Tianzuo, dressed in plain clothes, led the important officials out of the city to surrender and formally surrendered to the Ming army.

In addition to gold and silver treasures and copper coins, they handed over a large number of war criminals and families of war criminals, the total number of which is in the thousands. change.

But this is war.

The Ming army was already very civilized, very very very civilized. Wherever it went, there was no massacre, no burning, killing and looting, and no destruction of residential and farmland. It achieved the ultimate civilization that an army of a country can achieve in war.

No one can make any accusations against the military discipline of the Ming army.

As for the others, they belong to the post-war settlement, the legitimate rights and interests of the victors, and they do not belong to the category of humanity, and no one can blame them either.

Li Tianzuo, dressed in plain clothes, formally surrendered to Emperor Liao Xingye on behalf of the Daming Emperor and Zhao Yucheng, the commander-in-chief of the Daming army.

On his knees, he presented a series of ceremonial items such as symbols and seals representing the power of the "Emperor" of South Vietnam, and a letter of surrender was read out by the important minister Li Gongxin as a representative.

And in front of the two of them, Li Gongxin also announced that all the troops who were prepared to call King Qin should return to their original places. Whether they have already set off or haven't set out in time, they will all return to their original places. Don't continue fighting, the war is over. .

Liao Xingye and Zhao Yucheng accepted Li Tianzuo's surrender, and Liao Xingye personally helped Li Tianzuo, took off his plain clothes, put on him the expensive clothes that symbolized his status as a prince, and then entered Thanglong City with him.

With Liao Xingye and Zhao Yucheng entering Shenglong City, about 500 Ming soldiers, as representatives, symbolically occupied Shenglong City to show the victory of the war.

Li Tianzuo set up a grand banquet to entertain Liao Xingye, Zhao Yucheng and others that night, and sent people out to present Ming army cattle, wine and food as a reward.

This war has come to an end, and if it is not fought, it will not go on.

Everyone shook hands and made peace. From now on, we live in peace and say nothing.

Instead, Liao Xingye chatted with Li Gongxin at the banquet and asked him why he didn't see Huang Yixian.

Li Gongxin put down the wine glass in his hand in silence, and let out a long sigh.

"He killed himself."

"Oh why?"

"Although he was not identified as a war criminal, he still felt unacceptable and felt that he was also responsible, so he committed suicide just last night."

"I see."

"By the way, the identification and selection of war criminals, as well as the specific arrangements, are all his responsibility. He is fully responsible, and no one else interferes."

"understood."

Liao Xingye didn't ask any more questions, and Li Gongxin didn't say anything else. He drank cup after cup, and got drunk one cup after another.

Nanyue surrendered and accepted all the demands of Ming Dynasty. The news was sent to Su Yonglin on March 23, Hongwu Ninth Year. Su Yonglin was very happy when he heard about it, and ordered to reward the soldiers of the Ming army headed by Zhao Yu. Everyone recorded their merits. .

On March 27, the envoy of South Vietnam's surrender officially arrived in Guangzhou, presented a surrender form in front of Su Yonglin, and expressed his complete surrender to Su Yonglin.

The envoy presented Su Yonglin with 81 South Vietnamese war criminals.

The total price of war compensation that South Vietnam needs to bear has also been agreed, which is stipulated as 35 copper coins, plus [-] catties of gold and [-] catties of silver.

After these conditions were confirmed, Su Yonglin accepted the surrender of South Vietnam.

He personally ordered that Li Tianzuo be named King of Nanping in Daming Emperor as Daming Emperor, and he specially appointed Li Tianzuo as the chief executive of the Annan Special Administrative Region.

He then renamed Thang Long City, the capital of the Annan Special Administrative Region, to Annan City.

And from then on, officials in the Annan Special Administrative Region must be formally appointed by the Daming Emperor to be justifiable.

More importantly, not only Li Tianzuo, the chief executive, but also the appointment of all officials within the Annan Special Administrative Region government must be reviewed by the Daming Emperor, and then confirmed and ordered to be appointed as a formal and compliant official.

Otherwise, the name is not right, and it is necessary to crusade.

Although the actual personnel rights were arranged by Li Tianzuo himself, nominally and in terms of process, his personnel rights need to be approved by Su Yonglin before they can be recognized.

This means that Su Yonglin's actions to dismantle the authority of the South Vietnamese government agencies and leaders have begun.

At the end of this action, Su Yonglin changed the name of the Millennium Xiongguan Dananguan to Zhennanguan, and placed the inscription he prepared "Da Ming Destroys the Song Dynasty" in Zhennanguan.

He also wrote the article "Annan's Rebellion", which was made into a stone tablet and erected in the capital of Langzhou as a testimony to the Ming Dynasty's crusade against "Annan's rebellion".

In this article, Su Yonglin elaborated on the causes and consequences of the Ming army's crusade against Nanyue, clearly stated the legal ownership of the territory of Nanyue by the Ming state and the "arrogance and ignorance" of the monarchs and ministers of Nanyue, and reiterated that the land of Nanyue belonged to the Ming state. country facts.

At the same time, Su Yonglin began to arrange some post-war garrison situations. He planned to leave an army in Zhennanguan and Langzhou to occupy the area, and then arranged for the Renaissance Society and the government to enter Langzhou, carry out land reform in Langzhou, and completely occupy the area. Langzhou.

After a series of things were completed, the climate in Lingnan had already begun to feel hot. Su Yonglin planned to return to Zhongdu to prepare for the next stage of the rectification movement after finishing dealing with Hu Xin's affairs in Guangzhou.

However, what Su Yonglin didn't expect was that just when he was about to have a conversation with Hu Xin, something happened that left him speechless.

Zou Yana, the king of Champa, made some contributions this time in coping with the Ming army's attack on South Vietnam. Although the attack he organized was blocked by South Vietnam's partial divisions, it also attracted some South Vietnamese troops, which relieved the Ming army. pressure.

So when Su Yonglin ordered Li Tianzuo to pay compensation, he also paid a small amount to Zou Yana, which was considered his hard work.

Zou Yana was very moved. In addition to being recognized by the Ming Kingdom as the king of Champa, this crucial issue of orthodoxy has also been resolved. He is very happy and immediately prepares to honor his promise and present a generous gift to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in the name of tribute. .

Su Yonglin was surprised when he first learned about these generous gifts.

占城国的礼单是白乳香二万430五斤、混杂乳香八万290五斤、象牙七千790五斤、附子沉香230七斤、沉香九百九十斤、沉香头92斤八两、笺香头250五斤、加南木笺香三百一斤、黄熟香一千780斤。

Items such as spices and ivory are absolute luxuries these days. If so many things are sold, they will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is comparable to the cost of launching a medium-scale war by the Ming army.

Su Yonglin was very happy to receive so many gifts, and specially invited the envoys of the Champa to go back and say hello to Zou Yana, saying that Emperor Daming missed him very much and hoped that he would eat well and drink well.

However, the situation did not continue to develop according to Su Yonglin's ideas.
