Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that the Jiaozhi Governor's General Secretary was the current Vietnam. It was abandoned by the Ming Dynasty during the Xuande period. However, during the Jiajing period, the Mo family regime, who was in charge of Annan, was attached to the Annan General Secretary, but in fact it was not actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty and could only be regarded as a banished area.

However, the Annan Kingdom is not dominated by the Mo family, but is divided into the nominal Mo Dynasty, the Later Li Dynasty and Champa all at the same time, but in fact, the Later Li Dynasty was divided into the North and South Ruan Zhao and an independent Wu family, with a total of three separatist regimes.

In short, Annan is now in a state of fragmentation, which is the best time for the Ming Dynasty to re-rule Annan.

Nowadays, with the development of the Ming Dynasty's marine trade, especially the development of the South China Sea field, Annan's geographical location has become particularly important, not to mention that Annan also contains rich mineral resources.

Therefore, it was of extraordinary significance to the Ming Dynasty to change the land and return to the current situation, eliminate the local separatist regime, and re-establish the Jiaozhi Administration and the Envoy.

In addition, the Ming army, especially the army, has been on hold for a long time, so it is time to try it out to promote the further improvement of the Ming military strength in actual combat.

In addition, some newly developed guns and other unconventional weapons also require practical experience.

The memorial submitted by the Ministry of War clarified these contents and also made military expenditure estimates. However, Zhu Youxiao did not immediately directly approve the memorial, but said to Lu Xiangsheng: "What is the specific situation in Annan now? Do you know what is the love?"

"Report to Your Majesty, after the reign of the Jiaozhi Governor, Annan was originally ruled by the Li Dynasty, but later the Mo family became bigger, and Mo Dengyong forced the Li family to abdicate and established the Mo Dynasty. During the Jiajing period of our dynasty, the former general Zheng of the Li Dynasty rebelled and restored the Li Dynasty again. The Mo family retreated to Gaoping. However, the Zheng and Ruan tribes in the later Li Dynasty were incompatible. In addition, the former general Wu family also held their own troops, which led to the current situation of fragmentation."

After Lu Xiang rose up and answered, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "This is better, but it is not appropriate if my Ming Dynasty directly voluntarily deployed troops. One is the nominal Annan is the commander of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is that once our Ming Dynasty is in a dilemma, it will inevitably make the regimes at all levels in Annan abandon their past grudges, work together to resist our Ming Dynasty. Although Wu, Ruan and Zhao have many conflicts, they have surrendered to the Later Li Dynasty as ministers, and Mo is willing to pay tribute to the Later Li Dynasty, which is just a demonstration of this point. Therefore, we have to think of a complete plan to control Annan and not allow these separatist regimes to unite against our Ming Dynasty."

"According to my opinion, since Mo had once attached to our Ming Dynasty, my Ming Dynasty should not recognize the regime of the Li Dynasty and issued an order to force Mo to quell the rebellion. At the same time, it helped the Mo family destroy Li on the grounds that Li Dynasty did not submit to our Ming Dynasty, so as to achieve the effect of helping the weak and defeating the weak. Once the two tribes of Zheng and Ruan of the Li Dynasty were destroyed, it would be a breeze to destroy the Wu family and the Mo family," Yang Sichang replied at this time.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and replied: "This is how to do it, and send an order to the Ministry of War, and immediately mobilize troops south to move south. In the name of drills, the main force of the South China Sea Fleet returned to defend Hainan, and also arrived in Beibu Gulf under the name of participating in this joint drill. He was transferred to the Governor of Fusang, Yang Tinglin, as the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and ordered him to command the drill in the name of the Left Minister of the Ministry of War and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi."

Zhu Youxiao ordered this order, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War immediately started operation.

However, at this time, the separatist regimes in various parts of Annan did not realize the danger was approaching.

Just when the Zheng family of the Later Li Dynasty was planning how to defeat the Ruan family and then destroy the remnants of the Mo family and the Wu family, the Lu Jiayu team of the Fourth Army mobilized by the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War attacked a 100,000 army that had taken a large steam locomotive from the Huguang training site to head south along the Xiangwu (from Xiangyang to Wuzhou) highway, and arrived directly in Wuzhou within half a month, and one month later, Chenbing Zhennan Pass.

At the same time, on Java and Sumatra, even went to Australia to plunder the indigenous people to establish colonies, and gradually concentrated in the Beibu Gulf.

After Yang Tinglin took office as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, more than 120,000 people from Hai and Land had already gathered.

At this time, Mo had already received the order from the Ming Dynasty to pacify Li. Before Mo could respond, Yang Tinglin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, directly ordered Lu Jiayu's Fourth Army to go out of Zhennan Pass to attack An Shi on the grounds that Mo sued Li for betrayal of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the South China Sea Fleet directly bombarded Hejing, which is the southernmost city in the Zheng-controlled area of ​​the Later Li Dynasty.

The Fourth Army was a mountain war ace force. After entering Annan, it was not blocked by Annan's miasma. It took just three days to quickly penetrate Laoling Pass in its important northern town Anshi.

At this time, Zheng Jian, the King of the Qing capital of the Li Dynasty, also learned about the Ming Dynasty's large-scale attack, and hurriedly dispatched his 50,000 imperial guards to guard Anshi Laoling Pass.

Zheng Jian, who originally wanted to accumulate strength to conquer the Ruan regime in the south, had not yet experienced the defeat of Changde, and was considered to be strong. Therefore, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's attack, he did not surrender directly, but directly resisted.

The First Battalion of the Third Brigade of the Fourth Army's vanguard was not polite, and directly set off one hundred battalions' artillery. After two rounds of shells were fired, the entire Laoling Pass was instantly turned into ruins.

Zheng Jian's 50,000 imperial guards were also stunned by the explosion, and tens of thousands of people died directly in artillery fire. Then the Ming army rushed over, and the muskets in his hands were crackling and killing these Annan soldiers to the ground like cutting wheat straw.

In less than half an hour, in front of the Ming army with only 3,000 men, the 50,000 imperial guards collapsed completely, and the Ming Dynasty easily occupied Laoling Pass.

Then, the Fourth Army directly divided its troops south and occupied the cities of Yazhou, Xidu, Qihua, Gaoping, and others. At the same time, the Ruan family also took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and directly occupied Changde.

Less than a month later, Zheng Jian jumped into the lake and committed suicide. At the same time, the army occupied by the Ruan family was completely wiped out by the Marine Corps of the South China Sea Fleet of the Ming Dynasty before they could withdraw.

The Fourth Army of the Ming Army directly occupied all the Annan controlled by the Ruan clan with lightning speed. When the Ming Dynasty was about to command troops to seize the Wu clan regime, the Wu clan saw that the situation was hopeless and surrendered directly, and the Mo clan also voluntarily gave up the privilege of Annan in Yongzhen.

At the same time, the South China Sea Fleet directly bombarded Chameng and occupied the entire Chameng in two days.

The Annan Army was no longer able to pose any challenge to the Ming Dynasty's navy and army. The only challenge was these remaining guerrilla forces.

However, under the temptations of artillery, incendiary bombs, poisonous gas bombs, money, and land division, these guerrilla forces did not have any challenges to the Ming Dynasty's rule over Annan.

It took more than three months for the Ming Dynasty to pacify Annan and restore the Jiaozhi Governor General, which had given up for a hundred years.

Lu Jiayu was transferred from the governor of Guangdong to the governor of Jiaozhi and was in charge of military affairs of Jiaozhi, while Zhang Huangyan became the left governor of Jiaozhi, and was responsible for the civil affairs of the Jiaozhi governor.
