Chapter 323 Ming Dynasty Air Force, Departure!
When mentioning the place of Cochin in Annan, the first thought in many people's minds is the Golden Triangle, and then the country next to it is neither male nor female.

In fact, few people in modern times know that this place called Chicken Feet actually belonged to China during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties.

But with the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, some ambitious people here rose up, gradually took control of this place, and became an independent kingdom.

The Song Dynasty was weak, and many battles ended in failure. For example, after the heroes of Liangshan in the Water Margin recruited An, many of them died tragically in the battle to conquer this place.

It's just that Water Margin is a novel after all, and few people know how the real war is, but the result is definitely not satisfactory.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian army also wanted to conquer this place. Unfortunately, the Mongolian army, which spanned thousands of miles, fell to the sand here, and returned with heavy losses after many attacks.

Later, in the Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he also thought about conquering this place, but the king here was too cunning. As soon as Lao Zhu came to the throne, the king here in Annan paid tribute, so Lao Zhu had no chance to do it.

In fact, the main reason is that Bei Yuan has not been extinct yet, and Lao Zhu doesn't have so much energy to deal with the small countries in the south.

Later, Lao Zhu saw that Annan Kingdom paid tribute every year with more obedience, and felt that this was not bad, so he listed this place and some countries as countries that would not be expropriated.

The so-called non-expropriation does not mean that fighting is not allowed, but that in Lao Zhu's view, it is useless to fight in such remote areas. Apart from wasting money and food from the court, it is of no use, and it is completely useless.

From this, we can understand that those so-called non-expropriation countries are all poor and remote areas in Lao Zhu's mind, and the harvest is completely out of proportion to the effort.

After the old man ascended the throne and sent Zheng He to the West, he felt that this place must be occupied, because the old man realized that this place would be Ming's sea defense line in the future.

But when he rebelled, it was Zhu Yunxuan who destroyed the law of the ancestors. If he wanted to send troops to attack Annan, wouldn't he slap himself in the face?

Originally, the old man had no chance to do anything, but Annan committed suicide, and later gave the old man a chance to do it.

Ever since the old man ascended the throne, oh, to be precise, since Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne, Annan has been constantly harassing the border of Ming Dynasty, and even occupied part of the territory, wanting to take it for himself.

During the period of Zhu Yunqi, because of the rebellion of the King of Yan, the country could not be settled. Of course, Zhu Yunqi couldn't control the affairs of the frontier. invaded Ming's territory.

After the old man ascended the throne, he wanted to take care of this matter after learning about it, but he thought about his own reasons for rebellion, and felt that his current position was unstable and needed the support and affirmation of foreign countries, so he chose to endure it for the time being and continued to issue reprimands. The result is predictable I know, it's still not very useful.

Later, just when the old man was planning to stabilize the country and look for an opportunity to deal with this disobedient younger brother, Annan Chaonai unexpectedly became chaotic by himself.

As the prime minister, the Hu family actually plotted to usurp the throne, and even deceived Daming, the suzerain state. If it wasn't for the Chen family, one of them ran to Daming alive and told the old man about his rebellion. I'm afraid the old man still doesn't know what's going on.

The old man who learned about Annan was very angry. He scolded the Hu family for not following the rules of etiquette, deceiving the king and destroying the ancestors, and deceiving the superiors and inferiors. He clamored to help the Chen family and regain their due status.

In fact, despite the clamor of the old man on the surface, he was very happy in his heart. He had long wanted to take this land for himself, and now the opportunity has come.

As for Chen Tianping, the only surviving member of the Chen Dynasty, hehehehehe.

These days, the mountains and forests in the south are lush, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts, Chen Tianping is alone, and his body is tired and weak, so it should be a normal thing for him to die unfortunately.

After Chen Tianping left, the Chen dynasty would have no heirs. According to the law of etiquette, it was very in line with the law of etiquette for Daming to manage Annan as the suzerain.

Besides, Daming doesn't want this piece of land, and when he finds the heir of the Chen family in the future, it's enough to help him ascend the throne.

As for how long it will take to find this heir?
Then it's hard to say, it may take 100 years, it may take 200 years, or even thousands of years. After all, there are so many people, it is really difficult to find an unknown person.

The old man thought well, but the Hu family didn't listen to his arrangement. After learning that the matter had been revealed, they even sent people to Daming directly, saying that they would take their grandson back to inherit the throne.

Now the old man was depressed.

You said that you have rebelled, so you can be yourself, why are you still doing this mess?
Although he was upset, he came to pick him up, and Chen Tianping, who didn't know what was going on, was fooled by the other party, and foolishly followed him back.

Looking at Chen Tianping who was moved by the other party, the old man really wanted to give him a big mouth.

You're so stupid, what's the use of you going back like this other than being a puppet?

Although I am very reluctant in my heart, but as a suzerain country, I still have the tolerance that I should have. Since people want to go, then go, good words are hard to persuade the damn ghost, if the other party wants to go back to be a puppet, then go back .

And just when the old man was depressed and felt that he had missed another opportunity, Mrs. Hu, who was originally very smart, didn't know what was going on with his sudden cerebral palsy.

Unexpectedly, right after Chen Tianping went back, when the two met, they directly chopped Chen Tianping.

You say you can chop it up, just chop it up, you can just chop up Chen Tianping, why did you also chop up Daming's envoy, aren't you looking for death by lighting a lantern in the toilet?

If you just kill Chen Tianping, apologize to Daming, give up the occupied land, be more humble, and pay more tribute, the Ming Dynasty, which always cares about face, will definitely acquiesce in your status.

But this guy didn't know whether it was brain damage or what happened, and he even cut off Daming's envoy.

Boy, there's no room for relaxation here.

After the old man heard the news, he was furious on the surface, but he was very happy in his heart. He wished he could rush into the Taimiao, hold Lao Zhu's portrait, gnaw two bites fiercely, and shouted for the ancestor's blessing.

The relationship between the two parties was completely ossified, and the war broke out at the touch of a button.

A few years ago, Mu Sheng, who was waiting in the frontier of Yunnan, and Zhang Fu, who was waiting in Guangxi, directly led the troops to advance, and took down the whole of Annan in one fell swoop, and then the old man changed this place into the Chief Secretary of Cochin, completely destroying this area. The land was taken down.

Originally, if education was strengthened for more than ten years and more benevolent policies were introduced, this place would gradually be assimilated into the inherent territory of Ming Dynasty.

Even though the people here have gone out independently and their thinking has changed over the past hundred years, the old man believes in the brainwashing education of Confucianism and will never let him down.

It's a pity that he sent someone wrong, several officials and generals were fine, but the eunuch and supervisor Ma Qi who was sent by him was a big disaster.

Occupying good land, harming the people, taking bribes, and often insulting those Annan ministers and people who are interested in Ming Dynasty, made the relationship between the two parties more and more rigid.

In the end, the situation that could have been eased was messed up by this guy. In the end, under Zhu Zhangui's guidance, the old man didn't have any hope. Establish folk ideas and loyalty concepts, and completely assimilate here.

On the second day of February in the second year of Hongxi, outside the city of Jiaozhi Sanjiang Prefecture.

The red sun hangs high, the banners are flying, and a famous soldier stands neatly, facing the general platform and waiting quietly.

They were transferred from Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi, and belonged to the No. 80th to 85th regiments of the Ming Defense Force. Their main duty was to protect the Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou regions.

In addition to these five legions, the fourth legion trained on the edge of the plateau, which is the legion adapted from the Shenji Battalion, was also transferred here.

"Boom boom boom boom..."

When the time was approaching, the war drum on the troop counting platform rumbled, and the 6 legions lined up below, when the war drum sounded, quickly formed a team from left to right, front and back, and when the last drum sound fell, all the soldiers stood in place with a neat stamp of their right feet.

Standing in the front row, the Fourth Legion even took off the rifles on their shoulders neatly, and the butts of the guns hit the ground heavily and uniformly, making an ear-splitting boom.

"His Royal Highness is here~"

A loud shout spread throughout the teaching ground, and all the soldiers looked at the soldiers' platform in unison, watching a young man in armor and cape striding up the stage with his hand on the handle of a knife in his waist.

"Da Ming wins, wins, wins!"

When the young man stood in front of the microphone, all the soldiers roared loudly, paying their highest respect to their highest military officer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Standing in front of the microphone, Zhu Zhangui, hearing the deafening shout, raised his hand and beat heavily on the armor on his chest.

"Daming Wansheng!"

The sound fell, and there was no sound!
Everyone looked at the platform, waiting for His Royal Highness' pre-war mobilization, waiting for the order to march.

Zhu Zhangui, who is used to being stared at by others, did not feel any nervousness. He looked at the soldiers in the audience and said in a deep voice: "This was the territory of our Han family hundreds of years ago. Unfortunately, the ancestors were too weak in the Song Dynasty. Hold this place and let ambitious people take advantage of it."

"For the sake of being superior and for their own selfishness, they assigned the land left to us by our ancestors, together with our brothers and sisters who are connected with us by blood, and became an independent country."

"For their own selfishness, they forcibly changed history and used countless lies to confuse the brains of our brothers and sisters, making them forget our relatives and their home in the Central Plains."

"Times have changed, and a hundred years have passed. Those who still remember that they are the children of the Han family and the descendants of Yan and Huang are gradually leaving. The new generation of children, under the bewitching of those ambitious people, have forgotten their ancestors and us compatriots. Brother, forget where their roots are."

"We are merciful. As a parent, we can understand that our children want to separate when they grow up. Likewise, our parents, Daming, also support our children's independence and freedom."

"However, there are some people who, not only are not grateful to repay us as the patriarch, but also want to take away from us the land that does not belong to them, and want more Han men to forget their ancestors and their own roots. Forget about your most glorious Yanhuang status."

"Boys, warriors, lonely brothers, please tell me loudly, what should we do about this kind of people who bully their masters and destroy their ancestors, and forget their ancestors so many times!"

Following Zhu Zhangui's pre-war mobilization, the soldiers were very angry.

It wasn't until this moment that they knew that Jiaozhi was also a part of Yanhuang, a rebellious son who left the family and betrayed the family while the elders were tired.

It's all right if you say that you are a rebellious son and leave home. Whether you live or die outside depends entirely on your own ability.

But you don't have the ability to talk about it, and you still want to come back to get things at home, which is a bit intolerable.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this kind of rebellious rebellious person who pushes his nose and face is to beat him to death with a stick, so as to avoid embarrassment and embarrassment.

So all the soldiers shouted in unison at the moment Zhu Zhangui asked.

"Kill kill kill!"

Hearing the loud screams in his ears, Zhu Zhangui nodded in relief.

"If the child is disobedient, he should be educated. Even if the family is separated, he will not be able to get rid of his Yanhuang identity."

"It's not the son's fault to teach his father. As a father, the best way to educate such a rebellious son is to beat him hard."

"The ancestors said that a filial son is born under a stick. Today, we, the patriarchs, are going to perform addition on the rebellious son of Jiaozhi."

Zhu Zhangui raised his arms and shouted angrily. Amidst the high spirits of the soldiers, he took out an imperial decree and read it aloud.

"The Holy King said that the corruption of the Jiaozhi situation is the conspiracy of careerists and rebellious ministers who are unwilling to return to Ming Dynasty."

"I have issued decrees many times to persuade him, hoping that he will turn over a new leaf, give up undue extravagance, return to the embrace of Ming Dynasty, and jointly develop a strong homeland."

"However, those who are ambitious have been blinded by power and interests. Not only do they not repent of my persuasion, but they intensify the military disaster, hurt our Ming soldiers, invade our land, and harm our people."

"My heart is furious, so today I send a large army to attack the rebellious ministers, so as to ensure the well-being of Jiaozhi!"

After the imperial decree was read, Zhu Zhangui handed it over to Zhang Xian, the commander of the Fourth Army, raised his hand and pulled out the sword from his waist, pointing to the sky and shouting angrily.

"Fight against rebellion, and stabilize Jiaozhi!"

All the soldiers in the audience raised their weapons and roared loudly.

"Kill kill kill!"

To attack Jiaozhi, Zhu Zhangui planned to lead the Fifth Marine Corps to fight from the south.

But before he was ready to start, his father Zhu Pangpang's imperial decree came, asking him to command the 6 legions to attack from the north.

Zhu Pangpang had no choice but to let his own son be the coach.

Ever since those veterans retired with the old man, Zhu Pangpang discovered that the imperial court had no one to send.

The younger generation of generals is still too young. Although they are capable and experienced, their prestige is too low to suppress those arrogant soldiers.

Zhang Fu of the older generation returned to the Asan colony with Zhu Zhanji after the military parade and Zhu Pangpang's ascension to the throne.

After all, he still has the Timurid Empire to guard against. Without him, a veteran, Zhu Zhangui is not at ease.

Deng Heng is actually a good candidate, but he needs to be stable in the Western Regions that he has just won, and he can't spare his hands to fight in the south.

Ningyang Bo Chen Mao took a few legions to the border of the grassland, but there is still a Golden Horde Khanate there, and there is no trusted veteran in charge, so the court is not at ease.

Liu Sheng went to Beiju Luzhou again to encircle and suppress those savages to take care of those slaves. In the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Pangpang unexpectedly couldn't find a suitable commander to lead the army in battle.

In fact, Mu Sheng is a good candidate, but the problem is that the imperial court has just canceled the rights of their Mu family, and at this time they are sent back again, which may be a bit inappropriate.

The old man Zhu Pangpang didn't dare to command, so Zhu Pangpang had no choice but to pull his own son back and let him lead the anti-chaotic Cochin Army to attack from the north in two directions with the old man in the south.

The 6 troops lined up to march, and Zhu Zhangui stood on the platform, calmly raising his hand to the soldiers passing by the platform.

"No prisoners will be taken in this battle, regardless of officials or civilians, anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"

While raising his hand to salute the soldiers, Zhu Zhangui spoke indifferently to the six army commanders behind him about the battle plan for this battle.

For this group of cochin monkeys, Zhu Zhangui doesn't have the slightest liking for them. Let alone the war between the two countries in modern times, the chaotic system of the other side alone has brought disaster to countless people of Yan and Huang.

And those scams, Zhu Zhangui couldn't help squinting his eyes again when thinking of the neck-cutting videos he watched on the Internet in his previous life.

Although those guys ran over greedily, Zhu Zhangui would not tolerate such provocative behavior.

So for this battle, Zhu Zhangui's order was to keep no prisoners, and he also asked the soldiers to kill anyone who dared to resist.

As for the order to rob, well, this is actually unnecessary.

These monkeys are poor in themselves, even if they are all washed, they won't get much money.

The main robbery targets planned by Zhu Zhangui and the old man are still the small countries in the west of the Ah San area.

The conquest of Cochin was a completely accidental action, otherwise Zhu Zhangui would have taken the fleet to continue southward, and headed west after controlling the New World.

"The same treatment as the little pumpkin?"

Zhang Xian, who was closest to Zhu Zhangui, asked in a low voice.

Several other army chiefs just nodded and obeyed. They didn't have much contact with Zhu Zhangui, and they didn't know the prince's temper.

So in order not to make any mistakes, if the crown prince ordered him to do it, then he should do it.

Zhu Zhangui nodded slightly, "It's about the same. There are too few small nest melons growing potatoes in Beiju Luzhou. There is so much land there. It is a waste of a large piece of land to be left unoccupied."

Zhang Xian grinned, understood Zhu Zhangui's meaning, saluted with fists in his hands, and left with the other five army commanders.

In this battle, in addition to commanding his own army, Zhang Xian was also appointed as a lieutenant. In the entire army fighting for Cochin, he was the largest except for Zhu Zhangui.

Although Zhu Zhangui was the commander-in-chief of this battle in name, in fact Zhu Zhangui did not intend to participate in the command of this battle, but handed it over to Zhang Xian.

Jiang Huai is already able to stand alone. Zhang Xian, the former deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion, after so many years of studying with Jiang Huai, has almost learned his skills. party.

After all, there will be countless wars in the future. Zhu Zhangui, the prince, the future emperor, will not be able to sit in the army every time. It is still very necessary to train a new batch of leading generals.

"report!"

Just as Zhu Zhangui was standing on the stage to send off the army, the monkey ran over with a piece of paper and saluted.

"Read!"

Zhu Zhangui didn't turn his head back, and let him speak directly.

Zhu Zhangui has started to train professional radio personnel since he came out of the radio station. After more than a month of training, these radio personnel are almost able to send and receive reports, but their proficiency is a little bit worse, but this is just a small problem Well, telegrams are much faster than sending letters, and no matter how slow they are, they are faster than sending letters.

In this battle against Cochin, Zhu Zhangui reluctantly exchanged a batch of radio stations and distributed them to various legions, allowing them to communicate directly with the radio stations if they have anything to do, without sending messengers or calling with walkie-talkies.

The reason why the army is not allowed to use the walkie-talkie is because the standby time of the walkie-talkie is too short, and it will be affected by the magnetic field and terrain, so it is not as practical for the army as imagined.

"The Supreme Emperor called. They have entered Champa without any resistance."

"According to the Taishanghuang's guess, the enemy may have noticed that our army is strong, and they have already retreated to a dangerous place and are ready to defend to the death. The Taishanghuang reminds you to prepare for a tough battle."

Zhu Zhangui nodded, "Call back the Supreme Emperor and tell him that the airship has departed from Guangxi. If the enemy really hides in a certain place, I will let them have a taste of justice from heaven."

"In addition, tell the Supreme Emperor to let them stay with some of their troops in Champa. I will solve the problem here in Jiaozhi, and let him take this opportunity to take over the small countries in the west. As for the reason, I believe he will. "

The monkey nodded, handed the recorded words to Zhu Zhangui to confirm that they were correct, and then quickly ran down the information car modified with Sanbengzi next to it.

At the beginning of February in the second year of Hongxi, after the end of the crusade against the army, the imperial court moved southward from three directions.

It's just that Daming's aura is too majestic. The Cochin rebels who were running around didn't even see a shadow. It's probably because the old man said that they were scared and huddled in a certain place, ready to defend to the death.

Actually think about it and understand it.

Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, every time Jiaozhi launched a rebellion, it would be quickly put down by the central court. (Except for the Yuan and Song Dynasties) they should have a long memory after suffering so many beatings. In addition, Ming Dynasty is so powerful, they also know that the chance of winning is very small , so they probably want to fight a protracted war, stick to a certain city, and forcefully drag Daming to death.

It's a pity that what they thought was beauty, they didn't know that with Daming's current strength, the siege battle was no longer as difficult as it used to be.

Three attacking directions, all the way like a broken bamboo, did not encounter any resistance wherever he went.

To be precise, they didn't encounter a single rebel army. Every time they went to a city, the gates were wide open, and the inside was empty, let alone people, not even a dog, just like a dead city.

Li Li is also a ruthless person. He knew that the war with Daming might last for a long time, so he came to a strong wall to clear the country, took away all the people who could be taken away, polluted all the water sources, and wiped out all the cities that could not be defended. give up.

In this way, not only would Da Ming not be able to find a guide, drinking water would also become difficult, and Da Ming couldn't just leave those cities alone, he would definitely send troops to guard them.

In this way, it can not only slow down Da Ming's footsteps, but also disperse Da Ming's troops.

At the beginning of March in the second year of Hongxi, Jin Yiwei reported that they searched for traces and finally found the Li Li rebels in a mountainous area in Ngee An Prefecture.

"It's a good place to choose!"

Zhu Zhangui, who rushed over with the army, looked at the city built against the mountains in the distance, and gave a chuckle of appreciation.

It is said to be a city in front of me, but it is actually more like a stockade built with the help of Yamagata, but it is a little bigger than usual.

This mountainous area may have been rested, the slopes are abnormally steep, and defensive spiked stakes are inserted in many places.

The enemy's defensive stockade is on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain. Although the wooden and stone structure is a bit crude, all kinds of defenses are well done.

With the terrain in front of me, if it were placed in the former Ming Dynasty, it would be very difficult to take it down without a 10,000+ people storming it for several months.

"Has the Airship Legion arrived?"

Taking back the binoculars, Zhu Zhangui turned around and headed for the distant military camp.

It is already March, and I originally planned to go to the New World at the end of last year, but the result has not been set off until now.

In history, the old man did not exist in Yongle for 22 years. According to the original history, it should be Yongle for 20 years now, and the old man has more than one year and less than two years left to live.

It's not enough to go to the west for a year or a half. Zhu Zhangui doesn't want the old man to have any accidents on the way.

Don't let the old man go, the old man loses his temper again, always saying that no one will listen to him when he retires, thinks he is a burden, and other such angry words.

Therefore, Zhu Zhangui must go to the west to masturbate before the old man's life is over, and come back to see the old man away safely.

"Return to Your Highness, I have already rested in the temporary camp 50 miles away!"

The monkey, who was a temporary telegraph operator, flipped through the telegram in his hand and quickly reported.

Zhu Zhangui waved his hand, "Let them load the airship with ammunition tonight, and officially launch the attack tomorrow morning."

After giving the order, Zhu Zhangui stopped, looked back at the cottage in the distance, and said to the six army commanders: "Three days, I will only give you three days, take these traitors and you will be promoted to rank If you can't take it down, go to the garrison."

The five cold weapon regiment commanders, when they heard this, thought about the terrain they observed just now, and their expressions were bitter.

This shit is killing people.

With this terrain and their numbers, let alone three days, they might not be able to take it down in three months.

Although Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard that it was three days, he hesitated for a while when he thought of the weapons he was currently equipped with in the legion, and then nodded.

"Although the three days are a bit tight, it should be no problem to win."

Randomly thinking of what Zhu Zhangui said just now, his eyes rolled slightly, and he said with a flattering expression: "Can your highness airship be given to me to command, how many rounds of bombing can they carry with how much ammunition?"

The other five army chiefs who were thinking about how to ask Zhu Zhangui to give him more time suddenly looked up at Zhang Xian.

Good guy, did the Shenji camp come out so fiercely?

Take this terrain in three days, nonsense!
Ignoring the five staring army commanders, Zhu Zhangui pointed at Zhang Xian amusedly.

"Since the establishment of the Airship Corps, they haven't participated in combat yet. They have enough ammunition. This time, there are only 10 supply ships docked at the seaside, which is enough for you. Go hard!"

"Tomorrow I won't intervene in the command. If you beat it down, you will take the lead. If you can't beat it down, you don't have to guard the troops anymore. Let's go to Beiju Luzhou to dig potatoes with those little pumpkins!"

Zhang Xian's eyes lit up suddenly, and under the bewildered expressions of the other five army commanders, he raised his hands in salute, and said loudly: "I promise to complete the task, and take down this group of rebels in three days!"

In the early morning of the second day, in a spacious camp 2 miles away from the station of the Ming Army, five huge airships floated up slowly.

Below them, each hangs an oversized iron frame. In the gaps of those iron frames, the shells shine in the sun, emitting a cold light.

"Attention all teams, the combat order has been issued, fly to the target area, and prepare for bombing!"

The regiment commander sitting in the No. 1 boat held the walkie-talkie with an excited expression, and issued the combat order from the regiment.

After finishing the order conveyed by the corps, the head of the airship corps said excitedly to everyone: "Brothers, this is our Air Force's first expedition, and it means a lot to us. I don't care what you do. I don't allow you to appear. Any accident, whoever makes something happen, I will throw him like a cannonball, do you understand!"

"Ha ha…"

A burst of laughter came from the intercom, followed by reports from various boats.

"Airship No. 2 understands, Airship No. 3 understands,..."

After the report of the last airship, the head of the legion straightened his expression, and issued the first combat order of the Ming Air Force with a serious expression.

"Ming Air Force, go out!"
