The expansion of the territory can be said to be the common dream of the emperors of the past, because the emperor also wanted to name the history, leaving great achievements for future generations to preach, and as an emperor, the greatest merit is to open up the territory and expand the soil.

The governance of the country Anbang, the soil security people, the efforts to rule, etc., said that it is only the duty of the emperor, and it can only be regarded as a Ming Dynasty at best, and it is not good to do it that it is fainting, and only the territory can show the emperor's ability.

For example, Hanwu Emperor Liu Cher, the reason why he can be famous for history is mainly because of his efforts to expand the territory, he broke the Min-Vietnam, South Vietnam, Wei's North Korea, Dawan, sicheaded the western region, defeated the Huns, so that the Han's map has been expanded more than twice, leaving a heavy ink in the history books.

Another example, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, the reason why he can be famous for history, mainly because of his efforts to expand the territory, he destroyed the East Turkic and Xue Yanda Department, conquered Gaochang, Turtle, Tu Guxun, hit Gao Zhili, set up Anxi four towns, the map of the Tang extended to the extreme, so as to admire future generations.

Zhu Cixuan naturally also wanted to become a famous emperor, so he strongly supported Zhang Bin's plan to expand the territory, what Zhang Bin wanted, what he gave, whether it was Wenchen general, or grain and grass, and even the soldiers and horses in the world were allowed to be allocated by Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin resigned from the cabinet to focus on expanding the territory, and the first goal he chose was Nanyang.

In fact, the conquest of the South Ocean in the strict sense is not the opening of the territory of the territory, the territory of Daming is much more than now, because during the Yongle years, Ming Chengzu has attacked on all sides, for the Ming opened up a lot of territory, but unfortunately, with the gradual decline of Daming, these boundaries slowly get rid of the control of Daming.

For example, in the South China, there are many places that were once the territory of Daming, Ming Chengzu has sent troops to conquer Annan, coupled with Zheng He several times in the western region, making Daming Weizhen four seas, almost all small countries in the South China Ocean have become the genus of Daming, and calling Daming to pay tribute.

At that time, the entire South China Ocean can basically be counted as the territory of Daming, Daming not only set up in Annan to directly include Annan in the map of Daming, but also set up the old Hong Kong Xuanxiang comfort, Mengjing Xuan comfort, Mubang Xuan comfort, Myanmar Xuan comfort, car Xuan comfort, 800 Grand Dian Xuan comfort, Lao Xiang comfort, control of the South Asia, and the city, and then the city, Zhenlu, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the city, the cityThe genus.

However, a change in the civil fort directly caused Daming to change from prosperity, Daming not only was the face of the thorny part of the Mongolian tile in the north, but also the Annan of the south took the opportunity to get rid of the rule of Daming.

Later, with the continuous decline of Daming, the number of tributes to the various vassal countries in the South Ocean was also decreasing, and the old Hong Kong Xuan comfort was even directly occupied by the Manchus of Boyi on the island of Java, while the Mengjian Xuanxi comfort, Mubang Xuan comfort, the Myanmar Xuan comfort, the car Xuan comfort, the 800-day Propaganda Sowan, and the Lao Xuan comfort were also slowly occupied by the Eastern Dynasty that rose up in the South China Sea.

In the Apocalypse and the Chongchao Dynasty, the Great Ming and the post-Golden Year War, coupled with the peasant uprising caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, the Great Ming Dynasty did not have time to go south, so the entire South Ocean gradually disappeared on the map of Daming!

Zhang Bin has long intended to conquer the South China Sea and redraw the entire South Ocean to the Great Ming Map, because the next few centuries will be the era of maritime hegemony, and if Nanyang as the gateway of Daming is not in control of its own hands, the southeast coast of Daming will directly face the strong ships and cannons of the great powers, so once, the defensive pressure of Daming will be great.

If the whole South Ocean can be controlled in the hands, then Daming only need to hold the Malacca Strait near the Malacca Strait and the old port of Gongtai Strait can block all the strong ships and guns of the great powers from the country, guarding two narrow straits and thousands of miles of coastline, which is difficult and easy to know.

Therefore, whether it is for the sake of consolidating coastal defense or for the sake of expanding the territory, this South Ocean must be re-incorporated into the map of Daming.

However, due to the internal and external troubles of Daming, Zhang Bin did not have time to solve the problem of Nanyang, and in the past ten years, he has only recovered the old port of Xuan comfort and the Dutch-occupied Batavia, and at the same time built a new port city in the Strait of Malacca to strangle the South China Gate, and as for the South Ocean countries and the territory that originally belonged to Daming, he has not yet had time to take care of it.

Now, Daming has been leveled in the four seas, political and political people, and with the development of overseas trade, the Daming treasury is also becoming more and more full, he can finally start to conquer the South China, after removing the cabinet first auxiliary duties, he began to send troops to prepare for the conquest of the South Ocean.

The key to conquering the South China Sea is actually at sea, not on land, because the land between Daming and the South Ocean is separated by 100,000 mountains and heavy plateaus, it is difficult to transfer the army in the past, and it is even more difficult to transport grain and grass to the army.

During the time of the Wan Dynasty, Daming and the East Callocidal Dynasty broke out a "war on the west Antarctic side", the scale of the war is not very large, but the duration is quite long, from four years to the history of thirty-three years, the full lasted nearly 30 years.

It was in this battle that Daming lost control over the Mengjian Xuanxiang Comfort, Mubang Xuanxiang Comfort, Myanmar Xuanxiang Comfort, Caravan Comfort, 800 Grand Dian Xuanxiang Somciness Department, etc., thus making the South Asian countries completely cut off contact with Da Ming.

In fact, in the battle between the Daiming Dynasty and the Dongzhu Dynasty, Daming did not lose, on the contrary, Daming also repeatedly won, and even almost destroyed the Dongzhu Dynasty.

In the 11th year of the calendar, the Gongguang, the governor of Yunnan, Liu Shi, was ordered to organize an army to fight back against the Eastern Calloccupation Dynasty, the court sent Liu Xuan and Deng Zilong to lead the army out of the war, the Great Ming King Division all the way to destroy and decay, long drive straight into, recover the territory occupied by the Eastern Call Dynasty, while deep into the East Call Dynasty territory, directly to the East Calling Dynasty under the capital of the East Calling Dynasty, forced to the East appeal to the dynasty.The dynasty was destroyed.

Unfortunately, the Dongzhu Dynasty is located in the western part of Daming, separated from the Central Plains thousands of mountains and waters, grain and grass transfer is extremely difficult, "transmitting rice, a stone freight rate to thousands of gold", Daming can not maintain the army for a long time, and finally can only withdraw.

This is also the most popular battle in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the victory has been won repeatedly, even the capitals of the enemy countries have been conquered, but finally lost a large area of territory!

The reason is that the transfer of grain and grass is the problem of the transfer of grain and grass by land to the South Ocean, and it is precisely for this reason that Annan got rid of the rule of Da Ming.

Therefore, to conquer the South China Sea, the key is at sea, when Zheng and organized a huge fleet under the Western Ocean, no one in Nanyang dared to obey the rule of Daming, and now the Daming Water Division is much stronger than Zheng He's fleet, not to mention the transfer of grain and grass, the transfer of soldiers has no problem.

This time, Zhang Bin did not mobilize too many troops, because there is no powerful force in the South China Sea, even if the Dongzhu Dynasty is nothing in front of the Da Ming Dynasty, the reason why they have not been destroyed by Daming, because of remoteness rather than because of strength.

At this time, there are not many troops to mobilize, because the territory of Daming is too large, and after a great disarmament, the number of troops has been reduced quite sharply, and finally, Zhang Bin will be stationed in the southern steppe of the Qin army transferred to the Haizhou Hou Sun Chuan Ting commander, and will be stationed north of Beijing Tianxiong Army transferred to Liaoyang Hou Lu Xiangsheng commander, and is stationed in the new port city of 50,000 troops.

As for the sea, there are Fujian Marine Division and 30,000 Fuguang Army, which is enough to cross the South Ocean Sea.
