Chapter 148: It's better to descend to the light than to descend to the dawn

"Your Majesty, this ...... There must be a misunderstanding in this, should we hurry up and contact the governor of Guangxi and the governor to explain things clearly? ”

Of course, explanations are meant to be explained, but is it too late to explain now?

"Your Majesty, Langshan has been lost, there is no danger to defend the north road, 40,000 soldiers can be killed under Thang Long City in less than three days, and there are only 10,000 old and weak soldiers in Thang Long City at the moment, how can I prevent it?"

Could it be that the Ming army is a mechanized infantry, even if Langshan is lost, there are still 300 miles to go, and it will be killed in three days?

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today's plan, we have to quickly summon King Ying and Ruan Ti to return to the dragon, as long as the dragon is kept, we will still have a chance to turn around......"

Well? What a great idea! And then will my head be given to Zheng Song, or to Gao Pragmatic? It's really embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gao Ping is lost, and it doesn't matter whether Xuanguang guards it or not, so it's better to quickly adjust Mo Yulin to the dragon ......."

"Nonsense, what's the use of Mo Yulin turning up the dragon? It is better to transfer to Taiyuan, at that time Mo Yulin's department can not only block the Ming army from Gaoping to the south, but also threaten the Ming army from Langshan from the side, so that as long as the Ming army still wants to take Thang Long City, they must take Taiyuan first, so that Thang Long can get a respite...... "[No wind note: This Taiyuan is Taiyuan in Annam, about one hundred and twenty or thirty miles north of Thang Long City. 】

Mo Maoqia found that only this suggestion seemed to have some brains, and hurriedly said: "King Dunhou, can Mo Yulin's department take on such a heavy responsibility?" ”

King Dunhou, whose name is Mo Jinggong, is the eldest son of Mo Jingdian, the king of Qian. [Note: Don't ask me why my father and son are called "Mo Jing X", I don't know, by the way, Mo Jinggong's nephew is also called Mo Jingkuan......]

Dunhou Wang Mo Jinggong is Mo Maoqia's "imperial uncle", but they are about the same age, both in their thirties and less than forty. In the years that Mo Jingdian has been in power, Mo Jinggong and Mo Maoqia, two uncles and nephews, actually have a good relationship in private.

Faced with Mo Maoqia's question, Mo Jinggong didn't know how to answer, so he could only say: "After all, Mo Yulin is the son of the Duke of Xijun, and he is loyal to the Mo family and His Majesty. ”

Mo Maoqia was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

There is an old incident involved here, the "Xijun Gong" mentioned by Mo Jinggong is named Ruan Jing, who is the father-in-law of Mo Jingdian, the king of Qian. In the twenty-fifth year of Jiajing, the commander of Annan was Mo Fuhai, and the general Fan Ziyi plotted to establish the clan Mo Zhengzhong as the emperor, and was defeated by Mo Jingdian, the king of Qian, and Ruan Jing, the prince of Xijun, Fan Ziyi and others were based on Haiyang, and entered the Guangxi border, and finally the Ming Dynasty sent Yu Dayou to jointly exterminate it with Mo Jingdian and Ruan Jing.

[Wufeng note: Both the Chinese and Vietnamese history books do not explain why Ruan Jing's eldest son is called Mo Yulin, and the name Mo Yulin has different translations, also known as Mo Yu, because the history is incomplete, this book thinks that it is because of Ruan Jing's work, so the eldest son was given the surname of the country. 】

In other words, Mo Yulin is actually Mo Jinggong's uncle.

Mo Maoqia thought for a while and said, "Mo Yulin is the old department of King Qian, and his loyalty goes without saying, but I am afraid that he doesn't know that the current situation has come to this, and my Mo clan history is in danger...... I want to ask King Dunhou to go to Xuanguang, explain the situation to Mo Yulin, and supervise the army, I don't know if King Dunhou is willing to go? ”

"This sincerity is in danger of survival." Mo Jing knelt down respectfully and said, "Since your subordinates are members of the Mo clan, they are naturally willing to go." ”

"Good! Then there is King Lawton. Mo Maoqia said loudly: "Come on, give the festival charm!" ”

Naturally, the festival is usually prepared, needless to say, now the situation is urgent, one should be simple, after giving the festival charm to Mo Jinggong, Mo Maoqia said: "After King Dunhou and Mo Yulin led the troops to Taiyuan, don't rush to fight with the Ming army first, and wait for me to negotiate with Guangxi before making plans." ”

Mo Jinggong knew what Mo Maoqia meant, and now everyone knows the situation, if there is disharmony, Ming Ming may not die, but Zheng Zheng has no way to survive - at least their surname Mo Zheng is bound to die, so don't fight with the Ming army first, so as not to cut off the last chance of life.

After Mo Jinggong received the order, Mo Maoqia asked again: "The current situation is already known to all the secretaries, Li Wei, Zheng and our dynasty do not share the sky, it is necessary to negotiate, but the Ming Dynasty may not. ”

He paused for a moment and sighed: "I didn't send any assassins to assassinate the Guangxi Governor Gao Gong, there must be a hidden story in this matter, the Ming side must have made a mistake, or I was framed...... In short, the reason for this must be explained clearly to Da Ming, and it must be explained clearly to Gao Gong! But now that the Ming Dynasty is going to be an envoy, there may be some dangers, I don't know who you Aiqing is willing to go? ”

It is necessary to explain the situation to Daming, but if the envoy is himself...... It's not so good. All the ministers immediately looked at each other, and they all seemed to be worried about the future of the Dayue Empire, so that they did not hear the emperor's words.

An old man sighed, stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go." ”

Mo Maoqia could hear this person's voice, this is the most famous Confucian in the history of the Mo Dynasty, the champion of the Mo Dynasty Ruan Binglian, he is an old minister who has been the elder of the "Dayue Empire", and now he has actually become a minister, but because he lives in Thang Long, he is still often invited to the palace to prepare advisers.

"Ruan Lao is willing to go, this matter will be done!" Mo Maoqia was overjoyed and said: "I heard that the Guangxi Inspector Imperial Shi Gao Gong is the six champions of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ruan Binglian said: "The six champions of the Ming Dynasty can not be compared with the old ministers, and the old ministers are not going to talk to Gao Xun about the Tao, but to explain the situation, so as not to exchange troops between the two sides, but to cheapen the people who cheat." ”

"Dare to ask Ruan Lao, how to convince Gao Gong?" Mo Maoqia asked.

Ruan Binglian shook his head and said: "At the moment, I don't know what Gao Xun's attitude is, and there is no way to talk about how to persuade him, but I have to explain it first...... Let's see how Gao Xun answers, and then make a conclusion. ”

Mo Maoqia thought about it, asked the ministers to retreat first, and then said to Ruan Binglian alone: "Old Ruan, I am worried that even if I explain the situation, Gao Pragmatic will not withdraw the army. ”

Ruan Binglian seemed to have been mentally prepared for this, and he was not surprised when he heard this, but said: "It depends on what he wants." ”

Mo Maoqia smiled bitterly: "It's not that I want to say something depressing, I feel that Da Ming has never given up on me. This time...... I don't know if they colluded with Li Yi, in short, the current situation, I think it is difficult to pull it over. In case Da Ming refuses to withdraw from the army, what does Ruan Lao think I should do? ”

Ruan Binglian let out a long sigh and said, "As a courtier, the old minister doesn't dare to talk about this matter. ”

"It's come to this, Ruan Lao doesn't have to scruple, just say anything you want, I can stand it."

Ruan Binglian sighed again and said, "If this is the case, it is better to descend to the Ming than to descend to the Li." ”
