Gao Pragmatic's residence in Thang Long City was arranged in the original Qian Wangfu, and Mo Maoqia originally planned to let out the palace by himself, but obviously Gao Shicheng would not accept to live in a building with a bunch of dragon-shaped decorations, so he refused Mo Maoqia's kindness and took the initiative to ask to live outside the "Metropolitan Embassy Mansion", so Mo Maoqia ordered to let the previous Qian Wangfu out as Gao Pragmatic's Annan Xingyuan.

As for the heir of King Qian's Mansion, King Dunhou Mo Jinggong, he is too late to be pragmatic now, how can he have an opinion? Not only happily helped Gao pragmatic introduce the layout of King Qian's Mansion and some ingenuity in the design, but even left all the original servants and maids of King Qian's Mansion.

However, Gao Pragmatic drove most of them away, because these people could not speak Chinese, and the remaining ones who could speak Chinese stayed for the time being. Of course, Gao Shishi's personal guards around him are still his last remaining fifty or so family members, and the wolf soldiers are deployed on the periphery - Cen and Huang's two families each have five hundred, divided into two shifts, and take turns to guard King Qian's mansion.

In fact, the area of Shenglong City at this time is also limited, although the Qian Wangfu is the palace of Mo Jingdian, the first minister of Annan, but the area is not very large, not to mention that it is not as pragmatic as the Longwen Yayuan outside Xinzheng County, and even compared to his Jianxinzhai Villa on the outskirts of Beijing - even if it does not count the part of the school that was later expanded by Jianxinzhai.

The area of this Qianwang Mansion is about a little smaller than the previous Zhang Juzheng Grand Bachelor's Mansion in Beijing, and the decoration cannot be compared, but fortunately, there is a lot of water in Annan, and the pavilions and pavilions in the palace are complete, with green trees, ponds and streams, and there is also a unique scenery.

After Gao Cheng excused himself to be tired and sent all the people on the Annan side away, Gao Ming came to see him.

Gao Jue has been with him for nearly ten years, and there is no need to say much nonsense, just say a few words casually and start to get to the point.

"Master, the little one checked Annan's 'household department' before, this place is also very poor, but he also raised an army of 100,000, and his life is tight, I thought that the lord would let them cut off some soldiers and horses - such as the part of the battle damage, so as to save expenses and avoid civil unrest, I didn't expect the lord to use this money on the wolf soldiers...... Isn't the lord afraid that the people of Annan will make trouble again like Yongle and Xuande? ”

"It's not impossible to cut troops, but that will wait until the Zheng clan is pacified." Gao pragmatic waved his hand and said: "Mo's North Annan, calculated is the size of Guixi and Guinan, raising 100,000 soldiers does have to be looted, but don't forget, this place is not more than Guixi, Guinan is dominated by mountains, this North Annan except for the northern border and the northwest piece, the rest of the region is a good plain, and there are many more fertile fields than the whole of Guangxi, it is estimated that ...... Maybe it can be compared with Guangdong, so even if it is looted like this, ordinary people can barely survive. ”

"As for transferring the salaries and military supplies of the 30,000 battle losses of the Mo army to the Cen and Huang families, firstly, it can save us a sum of money, and secondly, it is also to see how obedient the Annan people are to us. As for whether the people of Annam will rebel...... Gao Jue, let me ask you, will the imperial court take care of the rebellion of the local people on the ground of the Cen and Huang families? ”

Gao Jue suddenly realized.

Here I have to talk about Annan's status in the Ming Dynasty. The Annam Prefecture region, roughly speaking, somewhat resembles the later high autonomous regions.

But what is the difference between the Annam Metropolitan Government and the Annam Kingdom? Why did Gao Pragmatic finally use a "possible restoration of the national name to Annan" today, so that Mo Maoqia suddenly lost his "principle"?

Because King Annam belonged to a vassal king, analogous to the prince of the Ming Dynasty. And the rank of the commander of Annan is the second-class official rank, which is very different.

The local administration of the Annam Metropolitan Command Division was changed to the "Xuanfu Division", which meant that it was similar to the setting of the surrounding prefectures of the Ming Dynasty, such as the Banzhou Xuanfu envoy in Guizhou. Of course, the status of the Annam Metropolitan Envoy may be regarded as a little higher than that of the Banzhou Envoy, so he can still "be promoted by himself", but every three years the tributary needs to enter the court "to promote the total number of officials".

In addition, when Annan inherited the king of Annan, the Ming Dynasty often sent angels to read the edict and canonize the king; The envoy of the capital of Annan did not need the Ming Dynasty to appoint a special envoy to canonize him, but handed over the relevant edicts and seals appointed to the magistrates of Guangxi, and the envoy of the capital of Annam personally went to Zhennan Pass to pass the examination and receive the edict on the spot.

The two courts of Guangxi Fu press grant Annan 1,000 copies of the Ming Dynasty calendar every year, so that it can be promulgated and passed in Annan to show that it is a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, although Annan still maintained a triumph every three years, Annan's envoys were not treated as courtiers in the Ming court.

For example, in the 22nd year of Jiajing, when Annan envoys paid tribute, the Ministry of Rites believed that "if Annan is abolished and not the king, then the officials who pay tribute should be rewarded instead of accompanying them at different times." In the "Daming Huidian", which Gao pragmatically presided over the compilation and revision of last year, the Annan Metropolitan Department was also included in the Tuyi attack.

In the original history, in the twentieth year of Wanli, after the restoration of the Li Dynasty in the south of Annan, it was able to prosper, enter Tokyo, and destroy the Mo Dynasty. The Ming court used the Mo Dynasty as China's "minister" as an excuse, and once again prepared to "rise and fall" and crusade against the Later Li Dynasty.

At that time, the Li Dynasty was terrified, and Li Shizong was busy sending envoys into the court to report the situation in Annam to Emperor Wanli, and then sincerely asked Emperor Wanli to restore the canonization of the previous "King of Annam".

However, Daming's father directly ignored him, refused his request on the grounds that the situation was undecided, and still granted the post of "Commander of Annan", and also ordered him to set aside Gaoping and Taiyuan to transfer to the descendants of the Mo family, in order to show that the Mo clan temple is endless.

The Li dynasty had no choice but to do so – a situation that lasted until the end of the XVII century.

Therefore, to say a thousand ways and ten thousand, Annan is now legally a "self-region" within the Ming Dynasty, and its status is equivalent to that of the Great Tusi, but the autonomy is greater.

This is a matter of nature, and Da Ming attaches great importance to this kind of thing.

Gao Pragmatic is now heading south, just to give Annan a feeling: We are really going to become a subordinate, not only a nominal subordinate, but also listen to the tuning and propaganda like the Tusi in Guangxi and other places!

Gao pragmatic now wants to make the Annan people have such an awareness - as for how to arrange it in the end, it depends on Gao pragmatic means, and now is not the time to tell them.

In a word, he decided to seize the authority of the "prince" in charge of the army, and in a word, to decide the use of his "domestic" financial endowments, all of which were deliberately done by Gao Pragmatic.

Ningping, the camp of the Zheng army of the Later Li Dynasty. Mobile:

At the same time as Gao Pragmatic was talking to Gao Jue, Zheng Song, the thirty-one-year-old Hou Li Chao Right Minister and the Duke of Langguo, looked at the pile of newspapers in his hand as if he were sinking into water.

Zheng Song's three most trusted generals, Huang Tingai, Ruan Youfeng, and Zheng Du, also stood in front of him with heavy faces, and no one took the initiative to speak.

After a while, Zheng Song sighed and said, "Although Li Guanghua and they have done the thing, who would have expected that the reaction of the Ming people would be so great, and they actually sent troops south...... Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, maybe it's the country's public. ”

Huang Tingai said dissatisfiedly: "Wu thieves are treacherous, maybe this time they sent troops to rob while they were on fire, not necessarily because of the things that Li Guanghua and them did." ”

Wu thief, talking about the Ming people, because Zhu Yuanzhang established the capital of Nanjing when he founded the country, and called himself King Wu before he was called the emperor, so once the Later Li Dynasty pretended to be forced, he liked to call the Ming people and the Ming army "Wu thieves". New Bayi Chinese Network debuted

Zheng Song frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Another member, Ruan Youyi, said: "Now entangled in the reasons why the Ming people sent troops, the last general thinks that there is no point anymore, instead of wasting time pondering these, it is better to find a way to take Henan as soon as possible - to be exact, it is the main force of the Mo army to eliminate Henan." ”

He paused slightly, and immediately continued: "At present, I am afraid that the strength of the Ming people's troops is not very accurate, these military reports and detailed reports have their own opinions, some explain that the army sent 30,000 troops, some explain that the army sent 50,000 troops, and even explain that the army sent 150,000 troops...... It's too much difference, and it's impossible to do it accurately.

However, we can't sit back and wait for the Ming army to rectify the Mo clan, and then use the power of the Mo clan to attack us together. The last general thought that we had to act quickly and clean up the 30,000 remnants of the Mo clan in Henan first, and then we could have the strength to compete with the Ming army...... Although the enemy army in Henan was newly defeated and demoralized, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be uplifted by the assistance of the Ming army. ”

Zheng Song nodded slightly, and asked again, "How do you think you should fight?" ”

Speaking of fighting, Huang Tingai's interest came up, and he hurriedly said: "Right Minister, the last general thinks that this battle should not be used for any tricks, so he will go up and attack fiercely, and destroy Mo Dun to defeat him again." ”

Zheng Song asked, "What is the reason?" Showing it to be strong? ”

"Yes, it's a show of strength." Huang Tingai said: "In terms of national strength, we must not be compared with Wu thieves, but the army of Wu thieves came to my Annan, after all, the road is far away, the transportation is inconvenient, and the loss of national strength is quite large...... In this case, our army must try by all means to let them know that although our army is inferior to theirs, its combat strength is strong and unified, and if they have to fight hard, they will definitely suffer great losses, so that it is possible for them to face our dynasty squarely. ”

Zheng Song nodded slightly, and asked Ruan Youyi again: "What do you think?" ”

"The last general seconded." Ruan Youyi said: "That's why the last general said that this battle can't wait, and we must take advantage of the opportunity that the Ming people have just taken Shenglong and should not be able to fully control the power of the Mo clan to immediately send troops to completely destroy the Mo Dun Concession Army, so as to force the Ming people to face up to the power of our dynasty and know that my court is a place where they can level the peace." ”

Zheng Song looked at Zheng Du again and said, "Third child, what do you think?" ”

Zheng Du is Zheng Song's younger brother, Xingsan, he seems to be a person who doesn't like to talk much, he just nodded when he heard this, and said simply: "I think so too." ”

Zheng Song stood up, pressed his hands on the table, looked around at the three of them, and raised his head slightly: "That's the case, send troops to Henan!" ”
