Chapter 810 Ignore Second Gao
Sun Kewang launched the battle to capture Hanoi. The Western Army participated in the battle with a strength of nearly 12. In addition to the main force besieging Hanoi, Liu Zongmin also led a group of people to the south to contain the warlord Ruan Zhu in southern Lebanon and prevent the Ruan family from raising troops to serve the king.

Although Lord Zheng and Lord Ruan are in a hostile relationship, the two forces are after all the subjects of Houli. To a certain extent, the interests of the two parties are the same, so Sun Kewang followed Wu's suggestion and sent a troop monitor.

This also shows the importance of the leading party, and the selection of the leading party also requires a certain level, and it is necessary to choose those who have some strength but have been suppressed, or are capable but unsuccessful.

An Nanguo used to be a tyrant on the Indochina Peninsula, able to contend with another small tyrant, the Toungoo Dynasty, but at this time, after all, it has fallen into division and its glory is gone.

Although Sun Kewang was the loser in the battle for hegemony, after all, he had experienced the cruel knockout competition in the Central Plains. The army had been battled for a long time, and the size of the army, regardless of its combat strength, was enough to scare the southeast small country to death.

In the southeast, except for the little overlord Dongyu Kingdom, no one can pull out an army of more than [-] at every turn.

In fact, if the Central Plains forces want to destroy Annan, they can still destroy it.

The point is that Annan is not that important to the Central Plains, the cost of occupation is too high, and the central government does not have the energy to continue to pay attention to Annan's situation, and Annan waits for you not to pay attention, he will come and start a guerrilla here. The imperial court suffered a few defeats, and the central government saw that it was taking up the money, and there were many things to do, forget it, anyway, it is far away, you can play by yourself.

But if you really want to hit it, the army will come, and you will beat him out immediately.

At this time, on the city wall of Hanoi, the cavalry roared and rode back and forth, and the camps of the Western Army were all over the wilderness, with people howling, horses neighing and the sound of trumpets and drums incessant.

After the Western Army had a full meal in the morning, a large number of infantry pushed the siege equipment out of the camp, waiting for Sun Kewang's general order.

On the city of Hanoi, Lord Zheng's remnant soldiers were waiting in formation. The officers shouted loudly and directed the people to move earth, rocks and trees.

The king's banner was lowered, and Sun Kewang stood on his horse. Behind him stood many generals, all of whom were fought out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

In history, it was this remnant of the Western Army that fought against the Qing Army in the Southwest for nearly 20 years, and finally failed miserably due to internal strife.

Sun Kewang scanned the city of Hanoi with a binoculars, and said to the generals: "Hmph! Zheng Jun wants to defend the city with a few earth cannons."

Compared with the Western Wei and Ming dynasties, Sun Kewang was relatively poor, but he occupied a good place, that is Yunnan.

Copper and iron resources were abundant there. While selling copper and iron to the Western Wei Dynasty, Sun Kewang also opened furnaces to forge firearms. He already had a firearms battalion of more than 3000 people, operating more than 30 artillery pieces and more than 2000 bird guns.

At this time, he put down the binoculars, looked at the thirty cannons lined up in front of the formation, aimed at the gate of Hanoi City, and waved: "Let's start!"

There was a drum in the army, a loud bang from the artillery, a cannon retreated violently, spewing out orange flames, a cloud of white smoke rose, and a black iron bullet flashed across the air. , shot straight at the city wall and landed in front of the city gate, stirring up a cloud of smoke and dust.

The artillery of the Western Army is very similar to the bronze cannons of the Wei Army, and they are all copper cannons. However, because of the craftsmanship, the walls of the guns are thicker, so they fire the same shells, and the artillery of the Western Army is one size larger.

At this time, a shot missed, and the gunner immediately raised the muzzle and fired again.This time it hit the city wall directly, making a depression on the city wall, and Zheng Jun's loud scream came from the top of the city.

Yunnan and Guizhou are mountainous, and the Indochina Peninsula is also densely covered with trees, which is not suitable for the movement of Hongyi cannons, so the artillery of the Western Army can only fire shells weighing up to six catties.

At this time, Sun Kewang was watching the artillery team of the Western Army with more interest, unleashing shells on Hanoi City. There was a deafening sound from the artillery array, and thick white smoke covered the long front line. The iron bullets rushed out of the muzzle and hit the city wall. Dust was flying from the top of the city. Countless gravel rose into the air and fell like hail.

These weapons of the Western Army are not worth mentioning in the eyes of Wei Jun, but in the Indochina Peninsula, they are old and powerful.

For a while, Sun Kewang found the confidence he lost in Zhongtu, and found it in Southeast Xiaobang, "It's not difficult, everyone, let's go to the city to celebrate the New Year!"

At this time, Prime Minister Xu Yixian suddenly came out of the camp, rode over, and reported: "Your Majesty, Niu Jinxing has sent the King of Western Wei's order!"

"Decree? Gao Yihuan really thinks of himself as a piece of garlic!" Sun Kewang said with a sneer, but the Western Wei Dynasty was powerful after all, so he continued, "Where are things?"

Xu Yixian took out a piece of yellow silk and handed it to Sun Kewang. The latter took it, unfolded it, frowned, and said, "Second Gao asked me to attack the Ming army and support me in taking Guangzhou! What is this Henan Guisun An thinking? "

Xu Yixian said: "I heard that the northern expedition of the army was hindered, and they withdrew to Huainan, while the Western Wei Dynasty was still fighting fiercely with the Qing army in Hedong. Gao Yihuan made this decree. Perhaps the Western Wei Dynasty was worried that the Ming army would reap the benefits, and asked us to contain the Ming army. In this way As a result, the Western Wei Dynasty can fight the Qing Dynasty with peace of mind, and after victory, they can go south to wipe out the Southern Ming Dynasty."

"Gao Er Er's wishful thinking is really clinking. Guisun asked the king to attack the southeast small state, and the king will attack the southeast small state, and let the king attack the Ming army. Does the king have to turn around and attack the Ming army? Gao What does the second child think of this king?" Sun Kewang casually threw the yellow silk to Xu Yixian, and said angrily, "Hmph! Does he really think of this king as his dog? It's too deceitful!"

Today is different from the past. Before that, Sun Kewang’s food was blocked by Gao Yihuan. The Western Army was able to quickly occupy Yungui and gain a firm foothold, all relying on the support of Sichuan’s food. Make Big Brother unhappy.

Now the Western Army has controlled the northern part of Annan, obtained the nominal surrender of the Nanzhang Kingdom, and obtained a large piece of land suitable for farming.

Sun Kewang has conducted investigations in Vietnam. These places have abundant rainfall and sufficient sunshine, and rice can be harvested three times a year, but the men who are supposed to be the main labor force are a little lazy.

Sun Kewang has already decided to send people to manage these places. When it comes to farming and intensive cultivation, no one can compare with the Han people.

If Hanoi is captured this time, Sun Kewang is confident that he will get rid of his dependence on grain from the Western Wei Dynasty during the summer harvest next year.

Without the restraint of this rope, the eldest brother of the Western Wei Dynasty would naturally become the second son of Gao.

Xu Yixian said: "Your Majesty, I also feel that there is no need to obey the orders of the King of the Western Wei Dynasty. I look at the situation in the Central Plains. The Manchu and Qing will be defeated first. At that time, the Ming and Wei will fight, and we help the Western Wei to weaken the Southern Ming. In fact, it is not good for us. Benefits. It would be best for them to form the Southern and Northern Dynasties, while I, Daxi, occupy the southeast, wait for the opportunity, unite with the Ming Dynasty, regain Sichuan, and form a new tripartite force!"

"Then ignore the second brother Gao, and he can't do anything to this king!" Sun Kewang nodded and approved Xu Yixian's analysis, but then he slammed his mouth and said with some regret: "However, Guangzhou is rich and populous. There are so many, if you can get them, it will be a good thing to expand with this king in the southeast!"

Although the land of Yunnan and Guizhou is vast, its population is too small. If Sun Kewang wants to occupy the southeast, he must move his own people here, so he still covets Guangdong and Guangxi very much.

"It can't be helped, the attack on Shenglong City is now, the king can't give up halfway!" Xu Yixian said.

Sun Kewang nodded regretfully, then suddenly smiled and said: "Then sir replied Niu Jinxing in this way, saying that the king will follow Wei Wang's will, attack the Ming army, and seize Guangdong and Guangxi. However, our army is backward in equipment and lacks food and grass. Please The King of Wei allocated a batch of grain, grass and equipment, and it would be best if he could give us blueprints and craftsmen, so that we could forge a batch of firearms by ourselves to fight against the Ming army."

"Your Majesty is brilliant!" Xu Yixian couldn't help but praise.

But Sun Kewang smiled and said: "There is no other way, this king must be wise in this position!"
