Chapter 185: Annan Planning!
In the ninth year of Wanli, March 27, Yi You.
Nguyen Huang, the chief soldier of Hue and Quang Nam of the puppet Hou LĂŞ Dynasty, took his beloved son Nguyen Phuc Yuan to the north of the British capital, imprisoned the head of the prisoner, and knelt down in front of the southern city gate.
Dai Tianxun was pragmatic according to Guangxi, Annan and other places, dressed in a big red silk flying fish suit, led a group of Guangxi Tusi and Annan civil and military, went out of Hede Gate to see Ruan Huang in person, personally went to his prison clothes, gave him robes, and joined hands to invite him into the city to discuss Annan's important affairs......
Oh, that's the official statement.
In fact, Gao Pragmatic was naturally not so polite, but his attitude towards Ruan Huang was indeed much better than that of other subordinates of the Later Li Dynasty.
It's just that his attitude is not entirely because of Ruan Huang himself, but because Gao Pragmatic wants to use Ruan Huang's appeasement to buy horse bones - you see, although I caught Zheng Wei and attached to the rebellion very fiercely, I still attach great importance to and be very polite to the puppet Houli courtiers who are willing to actively reform themselves!
In fact, to put it bluntly, high pragmatism is just a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other. Because Zheng Song did a very good job, Gao Pragmatic's main target now is the Zheng family, and a courtier of the Houli Dynasty like Ruan Huang, who does not deal with the Zheng family very well, is especially a real power faction, so of course it is mainly to pacify.
If it is all suppressed, then it is not to be Ma Qi?
Of course, appeasement is pacification, co-optation is co-optation, and this kind of thing must be done, which is the proper meaning of the question, otherwise, Hue and Quang Nam are surnamed Nguyen or Gao?
The high-level pragmatic is not the kind of "fetters state". What's more, in the southern area of Annan, that is the dish that he has clearly drawn to his plate, where can Ruan Huang still leave traces there?
Hmph, on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore.
Nguyen Huang came, but Gao was going to go to Hue - well, in fact, this statement is not accurate, in fact, the places he really wants to see, one is a little north of Ha Tinh, which is now Ha Hua Fu; Another Hue southeast of Da Nang is not far away.
Da Nang, the second largest port in Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh City, was located in the south of present-day Annam, and later central Vietnam, bordering Hue to the north and Nha Trang to the south.
The reason why Gao pragmatic takes a fancy to it is that Da Nang Bay is a deep-water port with a large area, its back is really called this name by the Five Elements Mountain, there are five peaks of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and there is the Son Tra Peninsula in the northeast as a barrier, the bay is horseshoe-shaped, the port is wide and deep, the situation is dangerous, and it is a natural harbor.
This place is favored by Gao Shishi, and it is the main port of the "Jingnan Nanyang Raiders" that he will build. Not only was the commercial port to be placed here, but it was even used as a military port in the early days.
It stands to reason that the best military port in Annam - or Vietnam must be Cam Ranh Bay in Nha Trang, which was favored by the French in the Great Colonial Era, and after it was built into a military port, it has been praised as the first military port in Asia by all world-this first refers to the geographical location and topographical advantages of Cam Ranh Bay.
But it's a pity that Cam Ranh Bay is not currently in the hands of the Annan people, but the territory of the Cham people, although Gao Pragmatic disdains the military strength of the Cham people - this is a group of goods that were beaten by Ruan Huang's son Ruan Fuyuan every minute, where can Gao Pragmatic be eye-catching, but now he has no time to take care of the idle affairs over there.
Therefore, the Cam Ranh Bay Military Port, which Gao pragmatically dreamed of, could not be taken into his arms for the time being, so he had to take Da Nang to make up the number first, and then talk about it in a few years.
In fact, Da Nang is really not bad, it is a fairly good commercial port location, but there is one problem - this place is estimated to be only a small fishing village now, and I don't know how much it will cost to improve the surrounding traffic situation, and how long it will take to build, so Gao Pragmatic felt that he needed to check it out himself.
As for Hue, in fact, it is also a small city now - although the people of Annam have been moving south, their own strength is not very good, and the natural efficiency of development is also low. If Hue is not lucky in history, it was the capital of the old Nguyen, Tay Son Nguyen Dynasty and the New Nguyen Dynasty of Vietnam, and it is the ancient capital of the three dynasties of Vietnam, and the development will not be able to come up.
Therefore, Gao Shishi felt that there was no problem in abandoning Hue and building Da Nang, and Da Nang had some other advantages in addition to being a deep-water port.
First of all, the first advantage is that it is now just a small fishing village!
Why is this an advantage? Because the small fishing village means that there are very few Annan people in that place, Gao Pragmatism can immigrate a large number of Han people to enrich the local area and make it one of his main bases in Annan!
As for the other main base, of course, Ha Tinh is Ha Tinh, after all, there is a high-quality large iron mine, which must exist as an industrial base, and Ha Tinh can also deter Thanh Hoa and even Thang Long in the north at any time.
The second advantage of Da Nang is that it is a relatively large port in Annam, and Gao Shishi intends to not only build a commercial port here, but also place a fleet - the fleet here is to deter Annam, and secondly, to slowly fight for control of the South Seas.
Doing things with high pragmatism has always been planned and laid out in advance, and it is rare to decide how to do it at the slightest "inspiration" - how can it be so easy!
Including this fight against Annan, this was originally his most "clever" decision, but if he hadn't built a huge family business a few years ago, and collected and transferred it a few months in advance, how could he ensure what he needed to go on the expedition?
And in Da Nang to build a city and build a port, it is even more necessary to lay out in advance, because he is facing the Portuguese who are crisscrossing the ocean, and he will soon face the Spaniards in the highlight moment, and even in a few years, he will not have to face the rising Dutch, if there is no good port in the South Seas, will he have to send troops from Guangzhou or Qinzhou every time? Thousands of miles away, what a delay!
The reason why he went south to Hue this time is ready-made - patrol press, I don't go anywhere, and I still patrol a fart and an egg? Besides, after Nguyen Huang surrendered, his almost 20,000 troops in Hue and Quang Nam had to be reorganized.
Of course, 20,000 people are too many, Gao Pragmatic feels that there is no need to raise so many soldiers, now that Annan has arrived, it is time to invest in construction, there are many people needed, these people can be demobilized and demobilized quickly, it is really a good soldier to consider staying - well, just keep 10,000 people.
On the way south, Gao Shishi also began to ponder the deployment and nominal issue of his troops in Annam.
It's easy to say about deployment, anyway, now that the forces in your hands have an absolute advantage, no one can object to how you want to deploy, but the name is a bit troublesome.
Theoretically speaking, these soldiers and horses who surrendered to Chengcheng, especially those of Zheng and Ruan Huang, seem to belong to the Mo Dynasty, and even the Mo Dynasty himself surrendered to the highly pragmatic soldiers and horses, if the Ming Dynasty did not come to govern Annam in the end, it seems that they should still belong to the Mo Dynasty.
What line is this? Without soldiers, I just rely on the fleet to deter the Mo Dynasty, I'm afraid it's not very safe!
