Ruan Ti told Gao Shicheng that the reason why he knew this information about the "black prince" was because Mang Yinglong went to Laos in the second year of Wanli, when the black prince's father also sent troops as the puppet king of Siam, and the black prince also went on the expedition.

The Mo Dynasty would definitely not send troops to rescue Laos, which had once sheltered Zheng Wei, and Laos' move only showed that they had panicked in the face of Mang Yinglong's expedition at that time.

However, in fact, the king of Laos at that time was the self-reliant Sen Surin, and he felt that the Mo Dynasty might help him, but it could not be regarded as a fundamental reason at all, after all, he himself was a usurper of power and won the country, and he was not in the same vein as the former former king who had sheltered Zheng Rebellious.

Now Gao Pragmatic wants to develop the Belt and Road Party, which is easy to do here in Laos, and someone has already sent it to the door, but Siam or Ayutthaya is not easy to do. Although the black prince is young, his father seems to be a coward, and I don't know if it will stop him from "making big news".

But the Siamese people now have no leading forces, and Gao Pragmatic does not dare to guarantee that if he passes through Siam under the banner of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Siamese people will eat pot pulp to welcome the king, or they will rise up against the Ming invasion army, so the leading party still has to find, and at present, he does not know enough about Siam, it seems that only this black prince is more playful.

Nguyen Ti said that the black prince, as the vice king of Siam, did not stay in the royal city, but guarded Phitsanulok, an important town in north-central Siam, alone, and in a sense, he had "independent forces".

The problem is that Gao Shishi doesn't know who to send to contact him, and there is a possible trouble, that is, this black prince and his puppet king father once followed Mang Yinglong to Laos, and I don't know if the Lao princess Bia Kyaw can accept to be in the same camp as him.

Seeing that Gao Pragmatic fell into a deep groan for a while, the three generals were a little nervous, but Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti were nervous that they didn't want Gao Pragmatic to shift their focus now and set their sights on Laos and Siam, they hoped that Gao Pragmatic would make persistent efforts to pacify the remnants of Li Zheng and Zheng in the south, and by the way, Ruan Huang would also be dealt with, so that Annan could be reunified.

Ruan Youyi hopes to shift the target with high pragmatism so that Zheng Zhu can get a respite.

In fact, Ruan Youyi knew in his heart that Zheng Song, who had lost Qinghua, had no room for struggle, and the strength and territory he occupied now were basically half a pound and eight taels with Ruan Huang in the south, even if Gao Pragmatic didn't move him, Ruan Huang might rise up to take revenge - his brother Ruan Wang was forced to death by Zheng Song's father, Zheng Jian.

But no matter what, the Zheng family is his old master, and he still doesn't want the Zheng family to be defeated.

This is Huang Zhiting suddenly interjected, and said: "According to the platform, if you want to contact the Siamese people, you might as well ask the merchant ship bosses in your fleet, most of them are Cantonese merchants, and many of them are from families that have been in the South Seas for generations, and some of them may be familiar with Siam." ”

That's right!

Gao Shishi's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Miss Huang reminded you very much! ”

Then he glanced at the three generals and Cen Ling, who was speechless, and said, "You don't have to worry, pacifying Annan is still the first priority at present, and ...... To speed up the process. ”

Mo Yulin and Ruan Ti were suddenly overjoyed, and Ruan Youyi sighed lightly in his heart and did not speak.

Gao pragmatic said: "Ruan Youyi." ”

"The end will be."

"The 30,000 old army that was reorganized this time was not intended to be handed over to you for command." Gao Pragmatic said lightly: "When will Zheng Cheng be pacified, and when will I consider letting you lead the troops." ”

"Yes, the general understands, thank you for pressing the stage." Ruan Youfeng breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't mind Gao Pragmatic not giving him soldiers, on the contrary, he was very afraid that Gao Pragmatic would hand over the 30,000 reorganized old Zheng Army to him and let him fight Zheng Song, that would be the trouble - at this time, the upper-class people in Annan, who were not literate and martial, all knew Chinese, because of Huang Fu's relationship back then, they were somewhat influenced by Confucianism, so let him go to war with his old master, Ruan Youyi felt quite embarrassed.

However, Gao Pragmatic did not give him this batch of soldiers and horses, but he did not simply take care of his feelings, but Gao Pragmatic still had a second stage of training to complete, and this second stage of training was to break up and reorganize the 30,000 Mo troops commanded by Gao Ming and the 30,000 Zheng troops into one army.

The Mo clan and the Zheng clan have been fighting for life and death for decades, and it obviously takes a lot of effort to pinch these two armies together, but Gao Pragmatic thinks it is worth it, because after these two forces are combined into one, there is no need to worry about them being able to zàofǎn - you stare at me to find fault, I stare at you to find fault, where can this be counterproductive!

When the time comes, if there is a middle-level officer system in the Gao family, it will be even more useless.

And with this army of 60,000 people in hand, Gao Shipra's authority in the Annan system was basically determined - after all, he still had a fleet of about 5,000 Ding Hùwèituán and Annan that could not be fought against by the two sides combined, plus this 60,000 army, no one in Annan could disobey.

However, Mo Yulin now has 30,000 people under his hands, which is an unbalanced factor, and he will have to find a way to split it up when the time comes, and the 15,000 people in Ruan Ti's hands ...... It's barely within the scope of high pragmatism and tolerance.

In fact, he wants to give half of Mo Yulin's 30,000 people to Ruan Youbian now, but if he does this, it will be too ugly, so he still has to wait, he must wait for an opportunity, and he can't be brutal, otherwise Mo Yulin may lose his troops, and he will inevitably lose his prestige if he is pragmatic.

Being the "boss" is like this, at least it looks like a bowl of water.

Now that other things have been said, Zheng Yi also has to hurry up and clean up, and Gao Pragmatic will not be verbose and begin to arrange military affairs.

He said: "The renovation in Thanh Hoa is coming to an end, and all departments must be prepared to continue to go south. General Ruan Youbian stayed by Ben Press's side to participate in military affairs, Huang Zhiting's department and Cen Ling's department as the central army, and they went out with Ben Press, General Mo Yulin and General Ruan Ti, the two of you are the main combat force this time, and now there are two plans in front of you, you can each pick one. ”

Since these two people were famous generals of the Mo Dynasty, they could have guessed that they would be pushed to the front line to fight next, but they were not surprised, but they calmly asked for a pragmatic two-way plan.

Gao pragmatic said: "These two plans, the first is the west road, starting from Qinghua, taking Qingdu Mansion, Kwai Zhou Mansion, Chalin Mansion, and Yuma Mansion along the way, and then marching east to encircle Yingdu Mansion with the main force; The other way is the East Road, which takes the sea route directly to Hehua Mansion and cuts off the possible alliance between Zheng Song and Ruan Huang. ”

Ruan Ti said without saying a word: "The last general will choose the sea route." ”

This answer is not surprising, because when he was under Mo Jingdian, Ruan Ti attacked Nghe An and Hue by sea several times, and it is estimated that he is very familiar with the terrain around Hahua Province, and he may also have a lot of experience in this kind of landing operation.

Gao pragmatic nodded, but Mo Yulin frowned and said: "According to the plan of pressing Taiwan, presumably the main force led by pressing Taiwan at that time should be planning to go south along the Linhai Plain, take Jingjia Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and then encircle Yingdu with the Western Route Army?" ”

"Not bad."

This plan is actually very simple, the land is equivalent to two roads, one way the main force directly to Yingdu, one way to the west army to play a right hook, by the way to the west of the Zheng land in hand, and the sea route is to cut off Zheng Song's last retreat.

This is a decent plan, there is nothing particularly brilliant, and there are no obvious flaws, but there is one question, Mo Yulin can't help but ask: "In this way, won't the Zhenning Mansion, the westernmost part of the Xuanfu Division, not fight?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "If you go to fight, there is no point in making a detour or dividing the troops - if everything goes well in these three ways, Zheng Wei will be completely destroyed, and it will be a Zhenning Mansion, and the rumor can be determined." ”

This is also true, the population of Zhenning Mansion does not know if there are 50,000 troops...... The ghost knows if Zheng Song has withdrawn all, if all the other places are lost, isn't Zhenning Mansion just a rumor? Even if you can't do it, you might take the initiative to send someone to ask for surrender.

Mo Yulin nodded: "In that case, the last general will do this east road." ”

Gao Pragmatic was very satisfied, and said with a slight smile: "Very good, since the two of you have no opinions, then this matter is settled, and the army will set off in five days...... Oh, you go first in two ways, and three days after you leave, the main force of the Chinese army will set off again. ”

It doesn't matter to Mo Yulin to go three days early, his right side is originally a right hook, that is to say, he has to go around an arc, and he may not be able to meet with the main force at the same time in Yingdu City.

However, Ruan Ti became a little cautious.

Although theoretically speaking, his place is the farthest, but in fact, because he is taking the sea route, and there are no other cities for him to capture on the way, it is equivalent to directly parachuting into Hehua Mansion, so when he appeared on Zheng Song's back road, Gao Pragmatic may not have made a move - that means that Zheng Song may turn around and hit him first.

Ruan Ti thought for a while and asked: "Press the stage, take the Hehua Mansion, the last general will have this confidence, but according to this schedule, Zheng Wei may mobilize the main force to expel the last general after the last general takes the Hehua Mansion." The last general only has 15,000 people in his hands, and it may be a little difficult to fight two battles in a row, do you see if you can let the fleet help the last general to fortify the river north of Hehua Mansion, or simply come to a big vote and send the last general to Hehua Mansion and immediately turn north and go to the river to threaten Yingdu? ”

Gao Pragmatic thought for a while and said, "Then let them go north to threaten Yingdu, I heard that the water flow of the river over there in Hehua Mansion is also not very stable, and it is now in the dry period, so it may not be effective to help you fortify." And Yingdu is Zheng Cheng's last stronghold, and it is not far from Dajiangkou, as long as the fleet reaches Dajiangkou, there is no need to swim up, Zheng Cheng will not dare to send troops south to attack you. ”

Ruan Tixi said: "Thank you for pressing the stage, so that the end will be very sure to take the Hehua Mansion, if not, the end will bring himself up to see!" ”

"Okay, well, taking Hehua Mansion is a great achievement, and it is necessary to make a contribution to the general." Gao Pragmatic now actually likes this Ruan tired, relatively speaking, he is more like a simple soldier.
