The war on Annan's main battlefield was over.
But it doesn't mean that the Ming army can put their horses into Nanshan and put their swords and guns in storage.
Although the frontal war is over, sporadic regional resistance still exists and will continue for a long time.
Because of the terrain, it would be more difficult for the Ming army to truly conquer the south than the entire island of Korea.
And because of the complex ethnic situation on the peninsula, the Ming army's entry into the peninsula to occupy Annan was only the beginning.
Large groups of Ming troops entered Qinghua City one after another.
There was no massacre and looting as usual.
Five days after the Ming army entered Qinghua City, Shi Biao led his troops to Qinghua City, met with Mu Zan, and began the next step of deployment.
In the afternoon, Shi Biao met Ruan Dayou again at the temporary general's mansion.
After Ruan Dayou saw Shi Biao, he lost his previous aloof demeanor and fell to his knees.
Behind him were two young eunuchs, each holding a jade plate, prostrate on the ground, but with their hands raised high.
On the wooden plate raised by the little eunuch on the left are placed the jade seal of the emperor of the small court of South Vietnam and the twelve crowns.
On the wooden plate raised by the little eunuch on the right are the emperor's sword and jade crown.
He came to surrender on behalf of the "little emperor" who was well protected by him.
Shi Biao sat at the top and looked at Ruan Dayou who was kneeling on the ground and the emperor's clothes behind him. He paused for a moment and then said: "Eunuch Ruan, please get up."
After Shi Biao finished speaking, the soldier behind him who could speak Vietnamese began to translate.
Although the writing in Vietnam during this period was Chinese characters, the language they spoke was partial to Thai. Because the spoken language was different from the written language, it caused confusion when they recorded and marked it.
After the soldier finished translating, Ruan Dayou stood up and said, "General, I am from Yao and I understand the language of Ming Dynasty."
Although Ruan Dayou's words had a deep accent, Shi Biao could understand them.
Although Shi Biao was a little surprised by Ruan Dayou's origin, he didn't say much about this matter.
"My general has already arranged the title for your little king. In the city of Kunming in Yunnan, the court has arranged a residence, entourage, and guards. Once there, you can live your whole life in peace, and your title will be passed down from generation to generation."
If Thanh Hoa did not surrender, and half of the country was covered with deep mountains and old forests, it would be almost impossible for the Ming army to pacify Annam in a short time.
After Shi Biao's memorial arrived in the capital, Zhu Jianshen agreed after thinking for a while.
Let the "little emperor" of South Vietnam be the Qing Kunhou of the Ming Dynasty, and be given iron coupons for generations, but he will not be able to set foot in Kunming city for the rest of his life.
"General, this is the emperor's robe, sword, and seal. I present it to the general at this time. From now on, the Le Dynasty's Dai Viet Kingdom will no longer exist and will return to the Ming Dynasty forever..."
Ruan Dayou said and knelt down again.
Ruan Dayou was the driving force behind the surrender, and because he was from the Yao people, Shi Biao was also very polite to him. Seeing Ruan Dayou kneel down again, he stood up and went to Ruan Dayou's side and helped him personally. got up.
"Eunuch Ruan, haven't you ever thought about yourself?" Shi Biao said with a smile.
Ruan Dayou said: "It's just an old dog. There is no need to think about himself anymore."
After hearing what Ruan Dayou said, Shi Biao nodded, then turned his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him. Two soldiers came to the front and put away the things in the hands of the two young eunuchs.
After Ruan Dayou completed the surrender ceremony, he returned to his home.
He hanged himself that night.
Of the 30,000 troops surrendered by the small court of South Vietnam, only 5,000 were retained, and all were transferred to the far north.
When the news spread that Ruan Dayou hanged himself, it caused an uproar.
Shi Biao was a little surprised when he heard this.
Especially the nobles in Qinghua City, they thought that the Ming army had turned their backs and refused to admit their defeat, so they were panicked at the moment.
The prerequisite for the Ming army to accept the surrender of the small South Vietnamese court was to let Ruan Dayou clear out the big families in Thanh Hoa City.
Despite its brutal purges, some large families were still preserved.
After Shi Biao arrived in Qinghua City, these people got the news immediately, prepared gifts to pay tribute, and wanted to visit Shi Biao, but after this incident, they did not dare.
Does going there mean you can't come back?
The situation at this time is that they have little choice at all.
The longer it took, the more panicked they became.
They could only gather together, bring gifts, and go to the temporary general's mansion together.
When they went, they were still very nervous, thinking that they would not see Shi Biao.
But to their surprise, when Shi Biao met them, he was not only enthusiastic and entertained them with a banquet, but also gave these families a great benefit after eating and drinking.
That is to distribute official positions.
After the small court surrendered, the Ming army naturally took over the legal power of the southern administration. Coupled with their strong fists, many state governments did not dare to violate the Ming army's arrangements.
Shi Biao dismissed the state officials in various states and arranged for these people from the wealthy gentry in Qinghua City to resume their posts.
Nearly 60% of the social wealth in the entire South and 20% of the population are dependent on these families.
Shi Biao wanted to completely stabilize the situation around Qinghua City in a short period of time.
We can only use them first, give them courtesy, and let them use their own strength to fight against the opponents.
There must be vested interests, Shi Biao knew this very well.
Supporting new forces takes a long time and costs.
After careful consideration, Shi Biao could only make use of these wealthy nobles.
And the foundation of their clan is in Qinghua City, which is under the control of the Ming army, and there are fewer risks of losing the tail.
In the past, Shi Biao only knew how to fight and kill people. This was true for dealing with Jurchens and governing North Korea. But after working with North Korean Governor Wang Yue for a period of time, Shi Biao also understood the truth. Since a piece of pie is short, If you can't eat anything within the time, you will share it with some to feed the guard dogs. These dogs will solve a lot of trouble for you.
The goodwill expressed by Shi Biao represented the goodwill expressed by the Ming army, which made the people of these families ecstatic. Not only did they retain their status, but they could also become officials of the Ming Dynasty.
And because of Shi Biao's goodwill, these families slowly lowered their guard against the Ming army.
Instead, he became a staunch supporter of maintaining the Ming Dynasty's rule in Annan, because maintaining the Ming Dynasty's rule in Annan was to safeguard their status. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
Each of the ten surviving families gave birth to a promising young man, who wore the green official uniform of the Ming Dynasty, and also received the appointment and official seal of the general. They went to the important town of Jiuzhen, Yanzhou Prefecture, and the Southern Jin Dynasty. Important state capital cities such as Xing Qiao, Sheng Hua, and Hue took over the administration of the state capitals from officials of the small puppet court of South Vietnam.
Along with them were their own guards and well-equipped Ming troops.
Because the South was under military administration,
Thanh Hua City is the largest city in the south of Annan and the administrative center of the entire south. After it entered the hands of the Ming army, Shi Biao formally wrote to His Majesty the Emperor. Annan decided to pass the news to the capital before the year. It also brought a burst of joy of victory to the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty...
The Ming army turned Annan upside down, and the news spread early to the surrounding foreign propaganda departments and even the entire peninsula, forcing them to remember the forgotten military power of the Ming army...
And the Ming Dynasty re-entered the peninsula and reclassified Annan as the Ming Dynasty's territory. This was just the beginning...
