Chapter 151: Annan who wants to save face

Gao Jue's strange thing now is that since Mo Mao allowed his army to enter the city, it means that there is no malicious intent, but why did he say that he was here to help Annan's reinforcements?

He wouldn't really believe that his fleet was here to help him build the Red River defenses, would he? His army has gone south to fight Thanh Hoa, and he wants a bird to use on the Red River defense line?

But this is not a problem, as long as the army can enter the city, other matters will be discussed.

Well, it is also important to discuss the surrender of the defenders of the Mo clan in the city, after all, they may have tens of thousands of people, which is more than the number of Bu Ding they brought.

Gao Jue then raised this question and said that he would enter the city peacefully only if the Mozambican army surrendered.

However, Mo Jingzhi, the prince of the male ceremony, gave the conditions authorized to him by Mo Maoqia, and Mo Jingzhi told Gao Jue in a very complicated expression, the overall meaning is: Our army will accept the command of your army, not surrender to your army.

And he added that, in order to avoid mutual suspicion between the two armies, they were willing to take a step back and "allow your army to reorganize our army, and send officers to supervise the execution of your army's orders." ”

That is, they are ready to accept any rectification and orders, except for "laying down their arms and surrendering".

Gao Jue was a little confused and didn't understand what Mo Maoqia meant, but Boss Hu seemed to understand something, invited Gao Jue aside, and whispered to him: "Gao Tuanzuo, I may understand what the Annan people mean." ”

"Really? Boss Hu, let's talk about it. Gao Jue said busily.

Boss Hu said: "In fact, Mo Maoqia's current attitude is very simple, that is, he is willing to obey all the instructions of our Jinghua, except for letting him publicly say the word 'surrender'. ”

"Oh...... He wanted to save some face! Gao Jue's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Face, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, what I want in Jinghua is Lizi!" ”

Boss Hu also laughed: "The conditions given by Mo Maoqia seem to be good, he allowed Gao Tuanzuo to reorganize his army in the city, which is equivalent to handing himself over to Gao Tuanzuo, and after all, he is the so-called 'emperor', Jinghua has him in hand, so he has the name of ordering all parts of the Mo Dynasty...... Congratulations to the soldiers of the Gao Tuan for their bloodless feats! ”

Gao Jue himself felt incredible, he brought such a fleet and thousands of soldiers and horses, and actually captured the "emperor" of the Mo Dynasty?

Especially...... In a situation where even if the other party really can't beat it, he can run away?

How can it be like a dream!

He continued to negotiate the conditions with Xiongli Gong Mo Jingzhi with some flutteringness, and sure enough, the other party raised some detailed questions, such as the Annan people said that the Ming army could enter the city, but not through the main gate of the Xiangfu Gate.

The reason is that the auspicious gate is the so-called "royal gate", the left, middle and right doors of the auspicious charm door, only the left and right two doors can be opened on weekdays, and only when Luan drives in and out, the middle gate is opened - that is to say, the middle gate of the auspicious gate is like the main gate of the Forbidden City, only the emperor can enter and exit.

Of course, this is the time to get rid of the two special cases of the queen's canonization and the first class jinshi and the first.

Gao Jue doesn't care about this, where is it coming from? It's just a change of door, and it's not like you want to climb the dog hole, let him go.

The second point is that Mo Maoqia's seal cannot be handed over - of course, he is talking about the silver seal given to Mo Maoqia by the Ming Dynasty.

According to Mo Jingzhi's statement, the silver seal of the capital envoy is a symbol of Annan's orthodoxy, and now the Ming Emperor has not expressed his intention to depose the commander of Annan, so how can he hand over the seal? Even if "General Gao" came to "order" the commander of Annan on behalf of the Guangxi Governor Gao Gong, he could not accept the seal of the commander of Annan, which is "unreasonable".

Well, Gao Jue doesn't think it's a big problem, anyway, as long as Mo Maoqia is in his hands, there is no actual difference between whether he helps him hold this big seal or he holds it himself.

However, Gao Jue still asked: "What about the 'Emperor's Treasure' of 'your country'?" ”

The muscles on Mo Jingzhi's face twitched slightly, but he still said calmly: "Since this thing is not recognized by the Great Ming Dynasty, it is naturally handed over to General Gao for safekeeping for the time being, and then the Guangxi Inspector will be sent by the Imperial Emperor Gaogong." ”

Gao Jue was extremely satisfied - anyway, when Mo Maoqia issued the order in Annan, it must not be the silver seal of the capital envoy given by the Ming Dynasty, but only the so-called emperor's treasure, so he received his "jade seal" is much more useful than receiving his silver seal of the capital envoy.

This is a de facto transfer of power.

Since the other party is so easy to speak, Gao Jue also put away his arrogance, people respect me, I respect people.

He smiled and said, "Then may I ask, if our army does not enter the city through the Xiangfu Gate, then through which gate should it enter the city?" ”

Xiongli Gong Mo Jing said: "Shenglong Four Gates, East Xiangfu, West Guangfu, South Daxing, North Yaode, Outside Xiangfu, Guangfu, Daxing, Yaode can do any door, but according to your army's wishes." ”

Gao Jue had seen the layout of Shenglong City given to him by Boss Hu, and knew that Mo Jingzhi said that it was casual, but in fact, he could only go to the South Gate Daxing Gate, because the West Gate Guangfu Gate and the North Gate Yaode Gate had to go around in a big circle. If you enter the city from Daxing Gate, you have to take a short turn back and go ashore from the Pier of Durat. Daxing Gate is of course some distance from Xiangfu Gate, and there is also some distance between Daxing Gate and Daxing Gate, huh...... It's a little over two kilometers.

It doesn't matter if you take a few extra steps, you can still get into the city in time today.

However, he still asked the two boat owners, "Can our ship dock at the Duratchak Pier?" ”

"The flood season should be okay, but now is the dry season-" Boss Li frowned slightly, and said to Boss Hu: "Old Hu, our ships are not as good as these big ships in Jinghua, you see if these big ships can ......"

Boss Hu shook his head and said: "For the sake of safety, it is not suitable to moor large ships at the Pier of Rattan, and if you land at the Pier of Rattan, you must use a small boat to connect you." ”

This is not a problem, the landing soldiers, a total of 4,500 people, put down the lifeboat hanging on the side of the big ship, two or three back and forth will be finished, really can't you still requisition the ship of the Annamite - aren't they now obeying our orders?

But the question Gao Jue considers is, in this process, will the Annan people do anything? For example, will you play some kind of "half-crossing" trick?

Of course, this is not a big problem, Gao thought to himself: as long as a small group of soldiers is sent ashore first, search for alerts, establish a beachhead, and ensure the safety of the wharf, there will be no problem at all for the follow-up large troops to land calmly.

Besides, with such a large fleet eyeing the river and providing artillery support at any time, if the Annamite people dared to play any tricks, wouldn't they be killing themselves and bringing about their own destruction?

Gao Jue smiled and said, "Xiongli Gong, since our army is here to help your army, then I have to explain in advance some details of cooperation: In the process of our army's landing at the Durat Pier, if you have any unfriendly behavior, you will be punished by heaven - can Xiongli Gong understand what I mean?" ”

Xiong Ligong's face was not good, but he still nodded in understanding.

Due to the size of the fleet, it took half an hour for the fleet to reach the designated place.

Compared with the Xiangfumen Wharf, the Durat Wharf is not only shabby, but also desolate, but a flat yellow mud land, without any outbuildings, not far away is overgrown with weeds, and further away are trees.

Gao Jue muttered in his heart, such a ghost place, you really have to be careful!

He sent fifty foot soldiers, divided into two small boats, to land first. The fleet lined up, and the sailors on the "lookouts" of the ships near them all opened their eyes wide, and as soon as there was any trouble, they immediately sent out a signal to fire directly on their mother.

The two dinghys successfully docked, and after landing, a team of ten people and fifty foot soldiers divided into five teams, scattered in a fan shape to search and advance.

It didn't take long for the five teams to report back one after another: this Durat pier was shabby to simple, desolate to desolate, but within a few hundred paces, not a single figure could be seen - the advance team sent heralds to report safety and said that a guard had been established.

Gao Jue breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Land!" ”
