    Li Dingguo's 10,000 troops did not go to the mouth of the Red River, and then went straight to Thang Long Mansion, the capital of Annan.

    Because the mouth of the Red River at this time is still in a semi-developed state, and there are mangroves everywhere along the banks of the river.  There is no big port for warships to berth, and it is very troublesome to change to the Red River by boat.

    Ten thousand troops were divided into two groups.

    ?The first route is to take a sea boat to the mouth of the Majiang River without changing ships. The navy can go directly to the outside of Tsinghua City.

    The second way is to take a sea boat to the mouth of the Lanjiang River. After entering the Lanjiang River, change to a small boat and travel for more than ten miles to reach the outside of Ngee'an City.

    Why do you want to fight these two cities?

    More than 80% of the top officials in the Zheng regime have their hometowns in these two places!

    The Majiang River Basin and the Lanjiang River Basin are the earliest developed areas in Vietnam, and they are also the capitals of the Ding Dynasty and the former Le Dynasty.

    As long as these two cities are occupied, and then quickly control the surrounding villages and towns, Zheng's court officials will be dumbfounded, and a small half of Zheng's grain-producing areas will be gone.

    This is thanks to the elaborators and merchants, otherwise, how would Nanjing's rulers and ministers know?  Most of them will attack Shenglong Mansion foolishly.

    ?After returning from Japan, Yuan Shizhong was finally promoted to deputy division commander and led 5,000 troops to attack Ngee'an.

    ?After arriving at the estuary of the Lanjiang River by boat, Xu Xuechang, a mission officer, walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck and bowed to the river.

    "Old Xu, who are you worshiping?" Yuan Shizhong joked, "Could it be your ancestors who lived here in Annan before?"

    Xu Xuechang said solemnly: "It's not worshiping ancestors, but sages."

    "Which sage can be found here?" Yuan Shizhong asked.

    Xu Xuechang said with emotion: "Wang Zi'an in the early Tang Dynasty encountered wind and waves here, and the ship capsized and unfortunately died at the bottom of the sea."

    Yuan Shizhong was even more confused: "Who is Wang Zi'an?"

    Xu Xuechang said: "The sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same as the sky. You don't understand it. After this battle is over, I will teach you to recite the Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng."

    Yuan Shizhong asked: "He seems to be a talented man from the previous dynasty, why did he come here by boat?"

    Xu Xuechang said: "During the Tang Dynasty, this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

    "Then we have regained the lost land, and we must leave a name in the history books," Yuan Shizhong suddenly became happy, and bowed his hands like Xu Xuechang, "My old Yuan also came to pay homage to the sages, kingwhat's the matter?"

    Xu Xuechang said: "The prince is taboo, and his name is Zi'an."

    Yuan Shizhong said while worshiping: "Mr. Wang is the spirit in the sky, and bless the victory of this battle. Come, bring wine!"

    Alcohol is not allowed in the army, but there is highly distilled alcohol for cleaning wounds.

    ? Yuan Shizhong poured three cups into the river, worshiped Wang Bo from a distance, and suddenly felt much better, although he had no idea what Wang Bo was doing.

    Not long after the naval warship sailed into the Lanjiang River, it encountered a sandbar.  The sandbar divides the Lanjiang River into two, and large sea-going ships can't get through at all, so they can only put down small boats to transport supplies, while soldiers land and advance along the river bank.

    It is worthy of being the earliest developed area in Vietnam. Both sides of the Lanjiang River are lush and green, and they are all seedlings planted not long ago.

    Xu Xuechang once again reiterated the military order: "Pass down to all the soldiers, don't trample on the crops, the cavalry is good at leading the horse and walking slowly!"

    When the gentry and peasants along the river saw the army coming from the sea, they were all scared and hid in their houses, and only a few people were sent to investigate from afar.

    Pan Chunfu was a local rich man, and there was a senior official who was a Bachelor of Dongge, who was in charge of transcribing the Imperial Academy's proclamation for Zheng Pi.

    He also has a younger brother who serves as the deputy general of Taiyuan Dao.  Another son was sent to Liangshan Road as a supervisory censor.

    As for other types of petty officials, the Pan family has more than twenty.

    This shows the background of the great clans in Ngee An and Thanh Hoa. Whether it is the lord of the Li Dynasty or the Zheng family, the powerful ministers, they all relied on the nobles of the two places to raise their troops.

    "My lord, the Han soldiers didn't come here, they just walked west along the Lanjiang River." The servant Pan Gui rushed back to the house to report.

    Pan Chunfu murmured: "Going west, this is going to attack Ngee'an City. Didn't they loot along the way?"

    Pan Gui shook his head: "There is no looting, and the crops are not trampled. The military discipline of the officers and soldiers (Zheng Jun) is much better."

    Pan Chunfu suddenly understood, and said: "If the Han soldiers don't plunder the people or trample on the crops, then they want to rule and stabilize the South. Lord Zheng returned after a big defeat, and the defeated troops passed through Yi'an a few days ago, which caused great harm to Yi'an.  The domestic military force is empty, this time Annan is afraid that he will destroy the country."

    Pan Gui asked: "Master, what shall we do?"

    Pan Chunfu said: "The Zheng family is unpopular, and it will be destroyed sooner or later. Emperor Li is weak, and he is not a wise king who can turn the tide" Suddenly, Pan Chunfu made an impassioned statement, "YiThanh Hoa is more convenient, not only is the distance shorter, and there is no need to change ships, naval warships can sail directly to the city.

    Chen Fan was also fidgeting at this time, defending his family and the country, he was in a dilemma.

    If you choose to defend the country and defend the city, you will definitely not be able to protect your home.  If you want to protect your family, you have to surrender in Kaesong.

    After thinking about it, the two of them felt that Ngee Ann City could not be defended.

    However, they did not dare to surrender.

    In case the Han soldiers left after looting, the Zheng family came to his senses and would definitely liquidate the surrenders.

    Then don't fight, don't surrender, don't leave, just pretend that nothing happened.

    The two Chengzheng officials sat in the Chengsi Yamen like this.  They refused all visitors, and only sent officials to investigate,

    It is good to get news from the Datong Army at any time.

    After waiting for a while, the officials ran in in a panic: "Deng Xiansi is recruiting troops to defend the city!"

    This Deng Xiansi can be understood as the inspector of Ngee Ann Road, who is usually in charge of the judiciary and prisons of the whole province.

    Wu Anguo turned pale in shock, stood up in a panic and said: "Deng Xiansi misunderstood me! I am the chief officer of Nghe An, and his recruitment of soldiers to defend the city is the same as my recruitment of troops to defend the city. Go out and stop it, the city cannot be defended, at least it must be defended."  Tell Han Bing clearly,

    Not the soldiers recruited by the two of us!  "

    "Yes yes yes, hurry up and stop it." Chen Fan was also terrified.  **</div&gt
