Jiaozhi was named after the Jiaozhi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Qin Dynasty in the 3rd century B.C., it began to become the territory of China. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wu Quan separated Jiaozhi from the Southern Han Dynasty and gradually became independent. Since then, Annan has been a vassal state of the Central Plains Dynasty for a long time.
In 1406, Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, sent Zhang Fu to lead his army deep into Jiaozhi. In 1407, he won a complete victory and destroyed the Hu regime of Jiaozhi. He obtained fifteen prefectures, forty-one prefectures, two hundred and eight counties, three million and twelve hundred thousand people, and two million and eighty-seven thousand and five hundred barbarians.
In the sixth month of the lunar calendar in 1407, after the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Hu Dynasty in Annam, it claimed that in response to the request of the local officials and elders to "restore the ancient prefectures and counties", it was renamed "Jiaozhi". Zhu Di changed the state of Jiaozhi to the administrative commissioner of Jiaozhi. Since then, the Ming Dynasty successfully recovered Jiaozhi.
However, the rule was unfavorable. Jiaozhi had been independent for a long time and regarded the Ming Dynasty as an invader. There were many rebellions everywhere. By the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming people were unwilling to move to Hanoi. In addition, the overall strategy of Emperor Xuanzong was shrinking.
Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and other ministers took the opportunity to speak, Xuanzong decided to stop fighting, issued an edict still in Jiaozhi Wang Tong and other people led more than 80,000 troops back North, revoked Jiaozhi Administrative Commissioner Division.
However, in the 18th year of Jiajing of Emperor Shizong of Ming Dynasty, Mo Dengyong, the ruler of Annam, sent an envoy to Zhennan Pass to ask for surrender and presented the land register and household registration of Jiaozhi to Ming Dynasty.
On the third day of November 1540, Mo Dengyong and dozens of ministers tied themselves up and knelt down. They entered Zhennan Pass and asked the Ming Dynasty officials to surrender. The Ming Dynasty reduced Jiaozhi State to Jiaozhi Dutong Department from a vassal state to a territory.
The thirteen roads of Jiaozhi were changed to thirteen Xuanfu Departments, each with Xuanfu, Tongzhi, Deputy Envoy and Qian Shi, which were subject to the promotion and dismissal of the Dutong. From then on until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Annan always existed as an administrative autonomous unit in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Jiaozhi, the King of Bangzi, and the King of Siam all reminisced about the Ming Dynasty. The current King of the Li Dynasty, Li Chun, even specially built a large newspaper altar to worship the Wanli Emperor and the generals and civil officials who fought against the Japanese and aided Korea.
Lord Mo of Jiaozhi once said," Leave behind the clothes of the Celestial Dynasty. In the future, when the Celestial Dynasty recovers, there will be future generations who will come and learn."
However, the facts proved that Lord Mo had been destroyed by Lord Zheng before he could survive until the Ming Dynasty. Lord Zheng and Lord Ruan had both defected to the Qing Dynasty.
If Lord Mo was in power, Zhu Bomu would probably be too embarrassed to attack Jiaozhi. However, since Lord Mo had been destroyed, he would not feel guilty about attacking the Zheng and Ruan Lords who had defected to the Qing Dynasty.
On the second day after the Southern Mountain's City was taken, Li Dao left 3,000 soldiers to guard the Southern Mountain's City and then led 40,000 troops south.
"I finally know why Xuanzong gave up Jiaozhi.”
As the army advanced, Zhu Bomu looked at the primeval forest in the distance and sighed.
After entering Jiaozhi, the population began to increase. It was not as sparsely populated as southern Yunnan.
Initially, he thought that Jiaozhi had a population of two to three million. However, after Shen Lian's intelligence gathering, he found out that Jiaozhi had a population of more than seven million. Its strength was comparable to Dongyu Dongyu in the west.
Imagine a country with a population of 60 million. How could they rule a country with a population of 7 million when the people were unwilling to migrate?
There were two methods. One was to massacre the city and exterminate the people, and the other was to forcefully move the people to Jiaozhi.
Neither of these two methods was suitable for the Han emperor. Even Zhu Yuanzhang had transferred the families of the soldiers to guard southern Yunnan forever, but did not forcibly move the people. How could Xuanzong dare to do so?
" Long live, Jiaozhi is not easy to govern…" Li Dao, who was riding on a warhorse and wearing Shanwen Armor, also shook his head. It was obvious that he had a headache about the governance of Jiaozhi, which had yet to be conquered.
"Jiaozhi has a lot of poisonous trees, mainly because of the dense forest and rotten leaves. Coincidentally, we need resources, and some people who intend to rebel can be thrown into the mountains to cut trees and quarry stones.”
Zhu Bomu smiled. He didn't have the so-called Confucian psychology. He still respected the ruling philosophy of Liu Bingyi, Emperor Xuan of Han. The Han family didn't respect Confucianism, so they should be suppressed by the king.
The use of the kingly way and the domineering way was a very good idea for Zhu Bomu to govern the country. Anyway, he was not of the Chinese race. Zhu Bomu did not feel guilty about doing these things in Jiaozhi.
Hearing Zhu Bomu's words, Li Dao also nodded: ""This way, it will be much more convenient to govern Jiaozhi.”
"By the way, how is the investigation of Shen Lian and Nan Zhang going?”Zhu Bomu, who was talking to Li Dao, suddenly turned around and asked Shen Lian.
" Long live, the Thousand Households Institute in Nanzhang has just been established. It will take some time to get all the information. It's very chaotic there now. Murders on the streets and fights in the villages are everywhere. The people there are very tough, so it might be difficult to manage them.”
Shen Lian rode on his warhorse. While he answered Zhu Bomu, he did not forget to keep his eyes on the pedestrians by the roadside. He was afraid that there might be spies from Jiaozhi's Lord Zheng or Yongzheng's Stickers among them.
"Right, after we take down the Rising Dragon Mansion this time, we must control the port and the various passes. We must not allow the spies of the Qing court to go north!”Zhu Bomu was very serious when he said this, while Li Dao cupped his fists and said,"
"Don't worry, I'll set up relay stations every ten miles along the way. Even the small roads will be guarded by soldiers. No one will be able to go north.”
"That's good. Now, we just need to defeat Lord Zheng's men!”Zhu Bomu's entire body trembled as he said this.
It was not fear, but excitement before the battle.
