The Dynasty of Daming can be said to be the toughest dynasty in ancient China, although the territory is not as vast as the Tang Dynasty, the military is not as strong as the Han Dynasty, and the economy is not as rich as the Song Dynasty, but this dynasty is dare to fight.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Daming and Annan clashed, according to Annan historical records: Annan invested 300,000 troops, Daming invested 800,000, and the total number of troops invested by both sides exceeded one million.
The Ming War of Annan, also known as the Ming-Vietnam War and the Ming-Vietnam War, was buried as early as the first year of the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, Li Ji, the minister of the annan kingdom, killed his lord and proclaimed himself Emperor Taishang, made Zicang emperor, and changed his name to Hu Yiyuan.
Daming was very angry when he learned of this, but because the new emperor had just succeeded to the throne at that time, coupled with the deepening contradiction between the king of the domain and the Central Dynasty, he had no time to look south, so he temporarily let them go.
But during the Yongle years, the country of Annam may also have had brain cramps, and dared to sneak up on the Daming army.
This news reached the Central Dynasty after the Manchu Dynasty was shocked, is it intolerable or intolerable?
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di was furious and ordered an army of 800,000 to attack Annam.
(The Complete History of Dayue says there were 800,000 people, and Chinese scholars Guo Zhenduo and Zhang Xiaomei thought it might be exaggerated.)
When Annan heard this, he was even more frightened, this Great Ming army arrived and could not destroy the country? What to do? Mobilize 300,000 troops to fight!
To say that 300,000 troops is nothing to Daming, but in Annan, it can be said to be bragging.
At that time, Annam was a small area, and according to the History of Ming, the population of Annam was about one million, and half of men and women were divided.
These half a million men drew three hundred thousand soldiers? Could it be that newborn babies and white-haired old men also go to war?
Not only Annan, but also Daming's 800,000 troops are also bragging.
At the time of the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Yunjiao had an army of 500,000 and Zhu Di had 100,000, and the combined number of these two uncles and nephews was about 600,000.
Moreover, at that time, the two had just finished fighting, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
In addition, there were 200,000 Ming troops defending mongolia in the north, not counting the northwest and southeast defenses of the Wokou and the inland garrisons.
So where did Daming have an army of 800,000? 100,000 people who can participate in the war are already good!
There is also a wild history that Records that Annan mobilized an army of seven million, which is purely fictional. Could it be that he can sprinkle beans into the art of soldiers?
The outcome of the war can be imagined, the Ming army was like a bamboo, quickly broke through The Thang Long, and continued to advance towards the Annam capital OfhWa, Hu Yuancheng led the army to retreat to the Yellow River, and soon after the Battle of Xianziguan broke out.
As a result, the Annan army collapsed, and the Annan army was all taken prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the scale of this war was not as large as recorded in the history books, the Ming Dynasty was in a period of ruin and waiting to be revived, and it was fearless in the face of other people's provocations, which also showed the world the bones of the Ming Dynasty.
