Chapter 805 Annan Is About to Surrender

Bac Giang fell and Hanoi shook.

They can understand the loss, after all, Dahua is stronger.

But what they couldn't accept was that they lost so fast.

"This Li Shenglong has wronged the country and the people."

Zheng Gen scolded that he missed Wu Daiyun at this moment. It's a pity that Wu Daiyun was removed by him himself, and reactivating it at this time is equivalent to slapping his own mouth.

"As of now, we have no hope, let's surrender."

Zheng He expressed the thoughts of other ministers, and it was no fun to fight Dahua.

Perhaps, they can all retreat into the jungle and spread out across the country to fight guerrillas in Dahua.

However, the city of Hanoi, they can't keep it.

To drill into the jungle?

These pampered nobles are not happy, they are willing to surrender to Dahua and continue to be Dahua's courtiers.

Maybe the power may be reduced a little, but it is not a big problem to keep the wealth.

Dahua wants to govern Annan at a low cost, and must rely on them.

"Have you had this idea long ago?"

Zheng Gen sneered and questioned that the others did not have too many psychological barriers to surrender. He is the only one in power who is not reconciled, or is afraid.

He has also read history books and knows that the surrender of the master of a country often does not end well.

Even if Liu Shan, the empress of Shu, shamelessly said the kind of reluctance to think about Shu, he would still die later.

"It's not that I have this idea, but everyone has this idea, which is also forced by reality."

Zheng He said.

Subsequently, several other ministers also followed suit.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Gen knew in his heart that if he insisted on fighting, maybe the people below would find a way to kill him first.

The so-called supreme power of the king of a country only takes effect when everyone else agrees with him.

In the current situation, if he wants to kill a minister for no reason, I am afraid that the person in charge of the execution will not execute it.

"It's not impossible to surrender, but at least we need to talk about conditions, and we can't surrender unconditionally."

Zheng Gen let out a sigh, and then Zheng He immediately stood up and expressed his willingness to negotiate with Dahua.

Zheng He wants to hug Dahua's thigh. If he can help Dahua achieve his goal in the negotiation, Annan may be the one who has the final say in the future.

As for Zheng Gen, it is naturally to be swept into the garbage heap of history.

"Okay, my request is that Dahua retire immediately, and then I Annan will pay tribute to them."

Zheng Gen sneered and threw out a condition that Dahua could not agree to, causing Zheng He to back down.

Such insincere negotiations are doomed to fail.

Afterwards, there was a heated debate in the court over what the bottom line of the negotiation should be.

In the end, Zheng Gen decided on the bottom line and the messenger candidate.

The envoy was his confidant Hu Xiangmou, and as for the conditions of surrender, Annan could nominally merge into Dahua, but Dahua would help them eliminate the Mo Dynasty in the south.

Then, Annan allowed Dahua to garrison troops in Annan, and canceled the regular army himself, leaving only some local defenders and security forces.

Diplomatic power is also handed over to Dahua.

What Zheng Gen wanted was the power to govern the entire territory of Annan.

In other words, he wants the position of Governor Annan. Moreover, it is the kind of governor who can retain some force and taxation power.

Hu Xiangmou came to Beijiang, begged to meet Xue Guiren, and conveyed Zheng Gen's words.

Xue Guiren was naturally dissatisfied with this condition.

Dahua is now the governor of Kagoshima, and the rest are at most provincial governors.

Xue Guiren wanted a position as powerful as the Governor.

And now, Zheng Gen, a person who can't even control his own life, still wants such a high-ranking official, which is obviously a dream.

Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and the Annan people have sent messengers, and he can't ignore them completely.

Everyone has not forgotten Lu Guangzu's killing of messengers in the past.

It just so happened that Xue Guiren was going to detain the prisoners now, and he was unable to attack, so he left the messenger behind, reported the news, and waited for the central government's instructions.

Fortunately, they can take a boat to Guangzhou, and then telegraph and communicate with the central government in Guangzhou, which will not waste much time.

When the telegram reached Nanjing, the court immediately began to hold a meeting on Annan's request for surrender.

This is a major event to expand the territory, and the value of the land in Annan is much larger than the grasslands in the north, the deserts in the northwest, and the mountains in the southwest.

The Annan Plain is not small, with a vast water area and abundant rainfall, so there is no need to worry about irrigation. And located in the tropics, rice crops three times a year, which is an excellent grain-producing area.

Moreover, because they are all coastal areas, shipping is convenient.

Such a good place deserves such attention from Dahua.

After a fierce debate in the court, the ministers in the court were divided into three factions.

One faction advocates accepting this condition and using the Annan people to govern the Annan people can save a lot of things and is the most cost-effective choice.

Their reason is that Dahua's current energy should be focused on domestic development, and there is not much energy to manage Annan.

There is no harm in letting Annan manage the Annan people for the time being. When the domestic development reaches a certain level, the control of Annan can be strengthened.

This view cannot be said to be unreasonable.

The other faction chose to continue the talks because they felt that the conditions given by the Annan people were too poor.

At least, the taxation power can no longer be left to the Zheng family, otherwise how can it be regarded as annexing Annan?

In addition, some civil officials did not allow Annan to continue to be controlled by the Zheng family.

Annan's entire territory of more than 300,000 square kilometers is not small, with a population of tens of millions. This means that governing Annan requires a lot of officials.

With so many official positions, it is naturally impossible to give them all to the Zheng family.

Of course, the most important reason for this faction is another. They feel that this condition thrown by the Annan people will definitely not

This is the bottom line of the Annan people, and they can be forced again.

Perhaps, as long as you scare them a little more, you can get all the powers such as taxation and administration.

As for the last hardliners, they said that there is no need to pay attention to Zheng Gen. Anyway, Dahua's army is invincible and can completely uproot the Zheng family, then completely rule Annan and turn Annan into a province like the Central Plains.

The advantage of doing this is that it can be done in one step, which is conducive to the rapid assimilation of Annan.

However, doing so also carries risks.

Conquering by force is bound to make some people who have lost their power fight to the end.

At that time, those people will go to the countryside, go to the jungle, and go to the remote mountainous areas to fight against Dahua, which will also make Dahua very annoying.

Those people may not be able to overthrow Dahua's rule in Annan, but they will certainly greatly increase the cost of rule.

This faction is headed by the high-level military, and it has become a confrontation with the other two factions, and has launched a fierce debate.
