Chapter 179: Operation "Punishment Heaven".
This day was also a lot of events, and just after the discussion was about continuing to send troops, another unofficial order to send troops also came.
Why is it called informal? Because it was Zhu Yijun's holy decree urging Gao to report on the situation in Annan, but why asking about the situation in Annan was linked to the "order to send troops" was because Zhu Yijun quoted a poem by his grandfather, Emperor Jiajing, Shizong, in this holy decree.
The poem is written like this:
The general is bold in the south, and his waist is crossed.
The wind blows the drums, the mountains and rivers move, the lightning flashes, the flag is high, the sun and the moon are high.
The unicorn in the sky is originally seeded, and the ants in the burrow can not escape.
On the day of the return of the edict, I and Mr. untied their robes.
The name of this poem, called "Sending Mao Bowen", was written to Mao Bowen, the commander of the Southern Expedition, when Jiajing was preparing to send troops to kill Mo Dengyong, and then although the First Battle of Annam did not really start, Mo Dengyong was afraid to surrender after all, so Mao Bowen returned successfully, and this poem became a good story through the ages.
This poem is simple and straightforward, and the level of essays is of course very average, but the significance is very significant, especially the last sentence "On the day of the return of the edict, I and Mr. will untie their robes." It was talked about by many people in later generations.
Zhu Yijun also seems to like this sentence, after Gao Pragmatic won six champions before, in the poem he gave Gao Pragmatic, "In the past two hundred years, I have been the best in Wenqu Luoshudan" seems to have the same effect as this sentence.
And this time, he sent the "original" directly, and the meaning is very obvious, he needs a high-level pragmatic "Taiping to wait for the return date" - in other words, to arrive in Annan as soon as possible and come back, I am already waiting to reward you.
And since Zheng Song is a fraudulent surrender and wants to be peaceful, of course, he can only fight quickly.
Early the next morning, Gao pragmatic took the stage to point the general and led the army to the battle. This time in the south, although more than 40,000 people of Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti were divided, because of the surrender of Zheng Jun, the strength was still extremely strong.
There are nearly 5,000 high-level pragmatic Ding hùwèituán, more than 40,000 wolf soldiers in Guangxi, 30,000 troops from the Mo family, and 30,000 troops from the Zheng family, and they still maintain an army of more than 100,000.
For Annan, 100,000 regular troops are undoubtedly overwhelming - unless you believe that there really were 7 million troops when the Annanites resisted the Ming Dynasty.
This is really a miraculous number, because at that time, the population of the whole of Annam was only about half of the "army of seven million", and after one or two hundred years, the population of Annam is estimated to be only about five million.
Well, these seven million "Martians" may have been swiped out of the plug-in.
But Gao Pragmatic's 100,000 army is a real more than 100,000 people, and he didn't even play the trick that all Chinese dynasties like to play - the so-called.
An army of 100,000, according to past customs, claimed to be 300,000 or 400,000, is actually not a big problem, and even claiming to be 500,000 is not impossible.
But Gao Pragmatic did not have this hobby, and at the same time he sent troops to the south, he sent Li and Zheng to the south to preach, that is, he had "sent 150,000 troops to the south", without exaggerating at all - Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti still have 40,000 soldiers in their hands, plus the fleet, 150,000 is not less.
Ruan Huang's reaction is currently unknown, but Zheng Song's reaction is very interesting.
When the main force arrived at Jingjia Mansion two days later, they found that the officials here had run away, the army had long since withdrawn, and Jingjia Mansion had effectively become an "undefended city", and Zheng Song honestly fulfilled his attitude in the surrender table: to avoid the suffering of the people - so the people did not withdraw.
Gao Pragmatic did not express his opinion on this, camped outside the city as usual, but sent people to appease the people in the city, and selected a few subordinates of the Later Li Dynasty to temporarily manage the affairs of the city, lest some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods run out to fish in troubled waters.
You must know that if the law and order are damaged, it will also affect his reputation as a high-ranking platform, after all, from now on, this is the "Liberation Zone".
Walked south for three days, arrived at Yanzhou Mansion, here is a Zhili Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Political Envoy Department of the Ming Dynasty, leading Fupu County, Qionglin County, Chaqing County three counties, Hou Li Dynasty did not make changes to this, still called Yanzhou.
In the Ming period, there were Yanzhou guarding thousands of households here, and there were two inspection divisions: Qinhaimen Inspection Division and Yangbian Society Inspection Division. It is not very clear what changed later, but according to Nguyen Youyi, "there are rarely more than 2,000 troops stationed here" in peacetime.
But now there are no two thousand, and like Jingjiafu, it is also an undefended city, and the order in the city is maintained by the "old squire". Gao Pragmatic listened, snorted lightly, and according to the style of Jingjia Mansion, he sent the Zheng family to manage the security in the city.
In the two places of Jingjia Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, although Gao Shishi handed over the security piece to the Zheng family, he sent garrisons: each government sent 500 Ding hùwèituán plus 1,500 Mo's army, a total of 4,000 soldiers and horses went out.
He actually considered sending only the surrendered troops to these two places, but he was afraid that without the pressure of the "Great Tomorrow Soldiers", it would be difficult to guarantee the military discipline of the surrendering troops - the Mo clan and the Zheng clan had a deep blood feud, and the ghost knew if they would mess around.
As for sending the Zheng clan to garrison the army, then forget it, if you don't do it, you will send the back road directly to Zheng Song. The Zheng family's army should be used with peace of mind, at least after the Zheng family is destroyed.
As for now, if the Mo family's surrender is a second-class treatment, the Zheng family's surrender will have to be a third-class treatment.
Treat everyone equally or something, Gao Pragmatic has no interest in engaging in it - they are all treated equally, who is willing to work hard to climb up? Who will find the hollow to show loyalty to him?
Not to mention that it can't be treated equally, Gao Pragmatic is even considering dividing a few more grades, such as what to divide into a first-class regiment, a second-class regiment, a third-class regiment and even a fourth-class regiment, there are different treatment differences, so that the following people can be honest and strive for the top.
It's a familiar routine, but it's just not available yet.
After Yanzhou was down, Gao Pragmatic rested outside the city for a day to make sure that everything was normal in the rear, and then continued to go south.
From Yanzhou to Yingdu, it is only two or three days away.
He didn't know that he was not in a hurry along the way, and Zheng Song was in a hurry in Yingdu.
Different from the pragmatic pursuit of stability in everything, Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti used troops this time, and their styles can be described in one word: urgent!
Mo Yulin's way, the plan is to hit the four prefectures of Qingdufu, Kwai Zhoufu, Chalin Mansion and Yuma Mansion, and then turn eastward and Gao Pragmatic to join the division, the distance is twice as much as Gao Pragmatic from Qinghua to Yingdufu, although he set off a little earlier, it stands to reason that because there are more places to fight and the distance is long, in fact, the time is still very tight.
However, Mo Yulin was ruthless this time, urging all the way to speed up the march, but when Gao Shishi was one day away from arriving in Yingdu, Mo Yulin had already arrived in Yingdu Wàiwéi.
Of course, there is also a factor in this, that is, there is still no garrison resistance in these four provinces.
Of course, Mo Yulin fed back the news to Gao Pragmatic, but Gao Pragmatic was indifferent, in his opinion, this was all Zheng Song's trick, just trying to make himself careless.
But Zheng Song may not know that Gao Pragmatism is in such a thing as fighting, it is possible to be overly cautious and miss the fighter, but it is difficult to be careless. Zheng Song, because of Gao Pragmatic's youth, imagined Gao Pragmatic as a proud and arrogant young man, obviously miscalculated, although normally speaking, with Gao Pragmatic's "smooth" over the years, arrogance should be a normal phenomenon.
How can there be a person in the world who always anticipates the enemy's chances, and the vast majority of clever calculations are actually nothing more than calculating the opponent's possible mentality and response plan according to the opponent's identity, experience, level, etc.
In pragmatic terms, these are just like doing math problems, and it doesn't hurt to make a few more assumptions first. Guo Pu said that he "overcalculated", which is nothing more than that he made too many assumptions.
On March 14, Gao Shishi's army arrived twenty miles north of the city of Yingdufu, Zheng Song breathed a sigh of relief in the city, Huo Ran stood up, his eyes flashed with fierce light, and Sen Ran ordered: "Order: The 'Xingtian' operation begins." ”
