Chapter 280 The Sword Points at Japan (Sixty) Two Oceans Compete for the Wind
Huang Zhiting's appointment quickly aroused discussion in the capital. It was the critical moment when Li Rusong sent troops to Pyongyang and Liu Wei mobilized his troops to surround Bozhou. The imperial court, especially the emperor, was happy about the news from southern Xinjiang that the old port of Xuanwei Division had been rebuilt.
, but obviously it is impossible to really invest much attention.
You must know that at that time, Gao Pangshi had just defeated the Can Yuan Dynasty and drove Chahar to the Western Regions. In addition to dealing with the two major wars in Korea and Bozhou, and sending Qi Jiguang to deter the Jiangnan Cao Army from rebellion, the Ming Dynasty also had to rearrange the defense of the entire northern border.
system, so I was only emotionally excited about the reconstruction of the Xuanwei Department in the old port thousands of miles away, but had absolutely no motivation to personally intervene.
As a result, Huang Zhiting quickly received a reply from the Ming court, which clearly recognized the legality of the reconstruction of the Xuanwei Department in Old Port in the form of an imperial edict, and formally appointed "Shi Xiwen, the descendant of Shi Jinqing, the original Xuanwei Envoy of the Xuanwei Department in Old Port, as the Xuanwei Envoy". At the same time, he clearly announced: In view of the
The Xuanwei Department was newly built and was temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy Department.
Speaking of Annan, here is another story. Annan’s commander-in-chief, Mo Maoqia, had previously lost his sight due to an eye disease. Later, due to proper treatment, he regained his sight. [Note: Judging from some papers in the field of history, most of them believe that his
Blindness is caused by diseases such as cataracts and glaucoma.]
After he regained his light, he was obedient to Beijing on the surface, but privately he kept wooing Mo's old tribe, and also tried to quietly contact the major chieftains who moved from Guangxi to Annan, in an attempt to gradually restore the Mo Dynasty's actual rule over Annan.
From the moment Mo Maoqia saw the general trend and immediately joined Gao Pragmatic, we knew that he was not a reckless person. His plan was also implemented very well in the early stage. About half of the former high-ranking officials of the Mo family were persuaded by him, and some Guangxi chieftains were also convinced.
Because of his generous separatist promises, he behaved in both directions.
But in the end he was exposed because he tried to win over Cen Ling.
Cen Ling, as the highest-ranking general in Annan during the Ming Dynasty after Gao Pragmatic and his wife left Annan one after another (referring to those with official official positions in the imperial court), had tens of thousands of Cen clan's wolf soldiers in his hands, and was the main general in the fight against rebellion in Annan.
In the early years, Annan had just been liberated and returned to the Ming Dynasty. There were chaos and thieves in the country. It was Cen Ling who led the troops to wipe out them one by one and massacred all directions. As a result, he also gained the "reputation" of "Cen King of Hell".
Because of his outstanding military exploits, Annan people love and fear Cen Ling at the same time. What they love is that he wiped out the rebels and ensured the stability of big cities such as Thang Long. Annan Mo's vested interests have not suffered much loss; what they are afraid of is that Cen Ling is so good at fighting.
If they couldn't win him over, it would be impossible for the Mo Dynasty to break away from Jinghua's actual control - yes, they were thinking of Jinghua here, not the Ming Dynasty.
It goes without saying that the Ming Dynasty was powerful. The arrogant Mongols in the north were suppressed and beaten. The Annan people felt that there was no chance to resist the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty could not resist, it did not matter. The old officials of the Mo Dynasty generally believed that the Ming Dynasty might be because of the Xuan Temple.
It seems that Annan does not want to directly govern the past events of the year. What he really wants to get rid of is the "oppression" of Beijing.
After years of observation, both Mo Maoqia and Mo's former officials discovered that what Jinghua valued was never its nominal dominance, but its economy and military. In other words, Mo Maoqia did something political, but Jinghua actually did not
Don't worry too much.
Taking advantage of this favorable situation, Mo Maoqia's revival plan was quite smooth for a time. After gathering the forces mentioned before, it was finally time for the key figure Cen Ling to attack.
Mo Maoqia did not neglect Cen Ling, and he promised to give Cen Ling the position of Annan's second-ranking figure after success. This included the official title of "Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Annan Capital of the Ming Dynasty" and the restoration of the old system in Annan.
Later, "King Shun", and "Yongzhen Guangnan" - Guangnan here refers to all the central and southern Vietnam except the North Vietnam area in later generations.
This promise is not ungenerous. After all, if it really comes true, then Cen Ling's "King of Shun" will actually become the "King of One Word Side by Side" in the novel, and his strength can be compared with that of Mo's family in the north.
Fight in separate courts.
But unfortunately, Cen Ling was hesitant on the one hand and seemed very shaken, as if Mo Maoqia could win him over if he worked harder; on the other hand, he immediately reported it to Gao Pragmatic and also gave Huang Zhiting an urgent reminder.
, asking her to pay attention to whether the Mo family would suddenly launch an attack on her hereditary territory, Hailong Mansion.
So Mo Maoqia suffered a tragedy. Huang Zhiting, who had just given birth to Gao Pingshi's eldest daughter Gao Yan, suddenly changed her destination on her way back to southern Xinjiang from the capital and went to inspect her Hailong Mansion.
She first announced something in Hailong Mansion, saying that she was ordered by Gao Pragmatic to request that one hundred and fifty (5%) of the annual income of Thang Long City, the capital of Annan, be used as a raising fund for her eldest daughter Gao Tong, and she also requested that the Commander-in-Chief Si
Officially authorized.
This thing is so weird that it makes no sense at all in theory: You can raise your daughter by yourself. Thang Long City is the capital of Annam and the capital of the Governor’s Department. Why should 5% of your annual income be used to help you raise your daughter? It’s simply
It's inexplicable and makes no sense.
But Mo Maoqia realized the problem, because the Gao Pragmatic couple's move was clearly a case of "calling a deer a horse". What they wanted was not to let the Annan people determine whether it was a horse, but to identify who among the Annan people was willing to ignore the facts and serve loyally for them.
.
The matter has come to this, and if we don't take action, we will never have a chance in the future. So Mo Maoqia ignored Cen Ling's unclear attitude and announced in Thang Long City that he would not accept the proposal, and gathered the assembled armed forces to attack Thang Long City.
Dragon Guard Army Camp.
The Thanglong Garrison has four towns and a total strength of 100,000 people. It is the most powerful force among the six major garrison armies in southern Xinjiang, second only to the Dingnan Garrison. In the process of taking over the entire southern Xinjiang in a pragmatic and step-by-step manner, the Thanglong Garrison Army
It also played a huge role in military blood transfusion at the rear - that is, most of the other garrison armies were established by drawing backbones from the Thang Long Garrison Army, just like Whampoa in Beijing.
However, looking at it on the other hand, it is precisely because the Thang Long Garrison has been "blood-drawn" over the years and has not been in large-scale actual combat for many years that their actual combat power should be seriously overestimated in the opinion of Mo Maoqia and others.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, although the Thang Long garrison has four towns, they are deployed separately: there is a town inside and outside Thang Long City, guarding the sea defense of the two seaports of Thang Long.
Nam Dinh also has its own town.
Therefore, in the event of a sudden incident, Mok only needs to defeat or make an emergency landing at the first town of Thang Long Garrison in Thang Long City, and then take down the second town outside the city. Then Thang Long City will be in control and he can order
We call on Annan people from all over the country to be diligent in their work. In this way, the revival of the Mo family can be expected in the future.
Unfortunately, this plan met with a shameful failure. First of all, the first town refused to surrender. Not only did it hold on to the main camp in the city, but it also withstood the sneak attack of more than 20,000 servants from various families who were quietly gathered by the Mo family with human strength. They also discovered
Mo's Ding army lacked heavy firepower and took the initiative to attack, but instead surrounded the capital's ambassador's mansion.
The situation seemed to take a turn for the worse. The second town outside the city also received the news and launched an attack on Thang Long City. However, at this time, Mo Yulin, who was stationed in Thanh Hoa, suddenly announced that he would lead his troops back to Thang Long to "quell the rebellion", which brought changes to the situation.
——Because Mo Yulin never made it clear who he wanted to help suppress the rebellion.
When the situation developed to this point, Huang Zhiting was naturally not idle. She first personally led more than 10,000 wolf soldiers from the Hailong Mansion to the southeast of Haiphong to join the Third Town of the Thang Long Guard Army; she ordered the Fourth Town to block the mouth of the lower reaches of the Red River and hold on there afterwards.
In particular, we must be on guard against Mo Yulin's troops building plank roads secretly in Chencang to carry out sneak attacks; order the No. 2 Town of Jinggang Garrison stationed in Ha Tinh to go north to control Thanh Hoa after Mo Yulin left.
Ordered the No. 1 Town of Jingang Guard Army to send out an infantry and an independent cavalry standard to station in Ha Tinh to protect Ha Tinh Iron Works and Arsenal; ordered the direct and non-direct chieftains of the Huang, Tian and other families who are mainly located in central Annan to send troops respectively to follow Jingang
The second town of the garrison was assembled in Thanh Hoa; Cen Ling was ordered to unite Cen, Zhao, Li and other chieftains to send troops and gather in Shanxi (Annan Shanxi, west of Thanglong)...
According to her order, except for the one that seems to be surrounded by three towers to the north of Thang Long, Thang Long City was actually surrounded by the outside line after this order was executed. As for the gap on the northern line... you Mo Maoqia
If you have the guts, run to the Ming Dynasty and see if the Ming army in Guangxi after the military reform can beat you to the point of peeing in your guts.
However, Mok Mao Chia couldn't actually run away at all. He really underestimated the strength of the first and second towns of the Thang Long Garrison. Especially the first town stationed in the city not only quickly defeated the more than 20,000 Mo Mo who surrounded them,
The servants gathered together from the old ministers of the court quickly cleared out the threatening firepower points after surrounding the Imperial Envoy's Mansion, and began to enter the offensive stage.
But at this time, the First Town faced a trouble. Mok Mao Cha detained more than 30 important figures of Jinghua in Thang Long, including five "national policy advisers" and some senior officials of Jinghua's major corporate departments in Annan. These hostages were very
Important, it put the first town in a dilemma and very passive.
Mok Mau Chia was unable to counterattack, and the first town did not dare to attack. After four days of stalemate, Mok Ngoc Lin's troops led their troops to the outskirts of Thang Long, ignoring the blockade of the Red River estuary in the Thang Long Guard Army's fourth town.
Mo Maoqia in the city learned that there was a fierce battle between Mo Yulin's troops and the Second Town of the Thang Long Guard Army. Then a hole was broken through the encirclement of the second town, and Mo Yulin's troops invaded the city.
Mo Maoqia was overjoyed and immediately decided to cooperate with Mo Yulin inside and outside to defeat the First Town. As a result, the First Town seemed to consider the danger of being attacked from both sides and took the initiative to retreat to the camp. Mo Yulin was able to relieve the siege of the capital and paid a personal visit to Mo Maoqia.
Mo Maoqia couldn't help but issued an oral edict on the spot, naming Mo Yulin the King of England and presiding over military affairs. Mo Yulin, as the only famous general left in the Mo family, did not refuse, and took over the defense of the capital's ambassador's office, dispatching
His own soldiers took over.
Then, Mo Yulin arrested Mo Maoqia, and immediately released the hostages in Beijing, and sent people to contact the first town, asking the first town to come to defend the capital's ambassador's office. He himself divided his troops to arrest the remaining members of Mo Maoqia.
, wipe out the opposition forces in the city.
He also did not forget to write to Huang Zhiting as soon as possible, stating that he had successfully suppressed the rebellion - of course, all this was achieved under the wise leadership of Gao Ge Lao and Huang Dutong, and he himself was just "lucky to the smallest extent."
”.
Why is this happening? Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs has warned Mo Mau Chia of the series of actions in advance. Everything that happened in Thang Long City was to lure the snake out of its hole and bring out all the rebels so that they can be arrested together.
As for Mo Yulin, although he is the only general among the Mo clan who still has the power to lead troops, and his unit has never been integrated into the garrison, over the years, the interior of Mo Yulin's unit has long been infiltrated by Jinghua. If Mo Yulin had
If Yulin really wants Qin Wang Mo Maoqia, others will be "mutinized" before they even start.
Mo Yulin knew this very well, and he didn't think Mo Maoqia had any chance. Finally, there is another point. Mo Yulin's "Mo" was a surname given by the Mo Dynasty, and his original surname was not Mo—
- Just like although the Emperor of Xixia's surname was Li, it was actually the same surname given to his family by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
After this incident, Mo Maoqia was sentenced to death by Zhu Yijun for the crime of "intending to rebel", but according to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, his son Mo Quan was still appointed as the new commander-in-chief.
The only difference is that after this incident, there are no so-called old officials of the Mo family in Annan anymore. They were all hunted down, and then according to the severity of the crime, they either killed the nine tribes, or ransacked their homes and executed them. The least serious ones also captured the whole family.
Exiled to Liaodong... I don't know if they, who are used to the humidity and heat of Annan, will freeze to death if they are exiled to Liaodong.
At this point, Annan was completely Chineseized, and Cen Ling, Mo Yulin and others had also passed the final test. Then an interesting scene happened. Since Annan was ordered by the Ming Dynasty to take charge of the Xuanwei Department of Old Port, Huang Zhiting became the deputy capital of Annan.
The president recommended Cen Ling to serve as the deputy propaganda envoy of the Xuanwei Department of Old Port, and recommended Mo Yulin as the garrison envoy of Old Port.
The imperial court quickly wrote a reply confirming this recommendation, and Cen Ling promptly submitted a request to move the Cen family to Jiugang, thinking that Daming Yongzhen would be the corner of Nanyang. Zhu Yijun appreciated this very much, and personally talked to Gao Pragmatic, and then ordered that Nanyang be moved to the south.
A large area of land in Wuli was designated as the land of Yongzhen, the chieftain of the Cen family.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The area given to the Cen family by Zhu Yijun is actually the northern part of Sumatra, with an area of approximately 150,000 square kilometers (the entire Sumatra Island is 470,000 square kilometers)
), Namburi itself was the former capital of the Kingdom of Aceh.
However, the Jiugang Xuanwei Division established by the Ming Dynasty during its voyages to the West had never governed the entire Sumatra Island, and Nanwuli had never been under the jurisdiction of the Jiugang Xuanwei Division. Therefore, Zhu Yijun’s division was actually somewhat generous - of course
, the emperor of China divided the barbarian lands, this practice requires no reason at all under the Confucian thinking system.
There is no royal land in the world. When I help you allocate land, I think highly of you. I regard your poor land as royal land. How lucky you are! So you local barbarians should be grateful and express your gratitude.
The move of the Cen family is not a trivial matter. There are many things involved and the work to be done is also very complicated. However, since Jinghua is helping, of course it can be carried out in an orderly manner.
Mo Yulin was very envious of this, but unfortunately he was not from a chieftain family, and he did not have so many direct descendants to use to move the town, so he had no choice but to serve as his old port garrison.
Fortunately, Mo Yulin was not idle, on the contrary, he was very busy at work: Jiugang Xuanwei Division was just a name. What Gao Pragmatic wanted was to rule the entire Nanyang Islands in the name of Jiugang Xuanwei Division, and what the Nanyang Fleet also needed was to use this name.
First, conquer all of Nanyang in order to gain credit.
As a result, Cen Ling and Mo Yulin had work to do - the "Nanyang Islands Project" was jointly led by the two of them, with the Nanyang Fleet as the main coordinating force, and Huang Zhiting, who was based in southern Xinjiang, was responsible for logistics and upper-level leadership.
At this point, the Nanyang Fleet began to gain special achievements year after year, and the Beiyang Fleet, which had been doing nothing after the conquest of Luzon, was naturally jealous and its eyes were red. It also had to face the Nanyang Fleet in the triennial competition between the two ocean fleets.
He joked, holding back his anger.
Now, this anger will naturally be vented on the Japanese navy.
