"Do you know the Mo family's Northern Dynasties in Annan?"
Huang Zhiting's words shocked Gao Jingshi. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the words themselves. The key was that she had been talking about Guangxi chieftain Mo Shi before, but she suddenly asked such a question. Gao Jingshi couldn't help but make an association, and said in surprise: "
Is the Annan Moh family related to the Guangxi Moh family?"
Huang Zhiting said: "How do I know if it is really related? But according to them, the surname Mo originated from the surname Ji of the Zhou Dynasty. At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the Ji family dispersed. In the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, some of their ancestors came to Julu.
Holding a halberd, he lived in the land of Mo, so he took the name of the place as his surname, that is, his surname was Mo.
Later... Anyway, it was very complicated, and I can't remember it. In short, they said that it ended up in Wuhun in Fujian, and then migrated to Guangdong for some unknown reason. By this time, it was already the Song Dynasty, and the Mo family was divided into two.
The ancestor of one branch entered Guangxi with General Di Qing of the Song Army and served as a minor official. In the early years of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the rank of minor chieftain by Wei Guang, the supervisory censor, because of his contribution in participating in the suppression.
The other branch followed Zhang Fu in the Yongle period to pacify Annan, and later settled in Annan. His ancestor Mo Tingzhi even served as the number one scholar in the Chen Dynasty of Southern Vietnam. These two Mo families had no connection with each other for a long time.
However, after the so-called Taizu Mo Dengyong of the Mo Dynasty founded the country, the two families gradually became in contact again.
Especially during the Jiajing period, Mo Dengyong was attacked by the imperial court and surrendered. He felt that the chieftain of the Mo family could help him stabilize his relationship with the Ming Dynasty, while the chieftain of the Mo family in Xincheng felt that the Annan Mo Dynasty was close to Guangxi and could provide foreign aid, so
The two families hit it off and got closer. Regardless of whether it is true or not, both parties now claim to be of the same clan. However, considering the attitude of the court, they did not publicize it in a big way. Only we Guangxi chieftains know this - this must be Xincheng Mo
I released the news in the hope of protecting myself."
Gao Pragmatic vaguely remembered reading a post before, saying that many "emperors" in Vietnam were of Chinese descent. It was mentioned in the post that Mo Dengyong, the "Taizu" of the Mo Dynasty, was of "Cantonese" origin. So this is where his roots lie?
However, these testimonials were just glanced at by Gao Pragmatic back then. They had a good impression, but how could they be remembered clearly? Now that Huang Zhiting has stopped, it should obviously be more reliable.
But judging from what Huang Zhiting said, she seemed to think that the two Mo clans just happened to originate from China and happened to both have the surname Mo. Based on the current common interests of both parties, she made up such a story that they were from the same clan.
.
But it doesn't matter. As long as there is such a statement, Gao Pragmatic should pay attention to it - naturally he is not trying to help others verify their ancestors, he just wants to see if there is anything that can be exploited.
Gao Pragmatic is very interested in Annam, or the land of Vietnam. The Mekong River Plain and Red River Plain in Vietnam (the Mekong River Plain does not belong to Vietnam at this time, Gao Pragmatic just subconsciously thinks so), are quite good in grain production.
The area has good mineral resources, with coal, iron and aluminum being the dominant minerals.
He couldn't remember where the main coal and aluminum production areas were, but he at least remembered that there was a large, high-grade iron mine in Ha Tinh. For this large iron ore and grain production base, Gao Pragmatic also had to remember Annam.
!
The northern Ming Dynasty during the Little Ice Age was quite short of food!
As for whether it is cost-effective to transport grain from Vietnam to the North of Ming Dynasty, this needs to be calculated. If you are too pragmatic, you will not be willing to do a business that is too loss-making. But this is all for later, don’t worry now, you might as well take advantage of yourself in Guangxi
If you want to take office, consider whether you can get the territory before you go.
How did Huang Zhiting know that Gao Pragmatic would think so far!
In her eyes, Mo Chao is not a good friend, he is the enemy of their Huang family. The chieftains of the Huang family in Siming Prefecture and the chieftains of various branches of the Huang family are mainly bordering the Mo Dynasty in Annan. The Ming court gave
The main task of Chieftain Huang is also to guard against Mo Chao.
However, Huang Zhiting saw that Gao Pragmatic fell into deep thought as soon as he heard what she just said, and frowned deep in thought. She felt secretly happy in her heart and thought to herself: Mr. Zhang's "pen and ink's power lies in politics", if he is willing to give us Huang Zhiting
If the family comes up with some ideas, maybe they can reduce some of the threats from Mo Chao. That would be great news for our Huang family. If this is the case, will my father...
She was lost in thought when Gao Pingshi suddenly asked: "There is something I don't know about Miss Huang. Isn't it convenient for me to tell you?"
"Ah?" Huang Zhiting was suddenly startled by him, her eyes were flustered, and she immediately came back to her senses and asked, "What's the matter?"
Gao pragmatically asked seriously: "How many soldiers and horses does the Huang family have? Oh, by the way, I'm asking how many soldiers and horses they can have in peacetime and wartime."
In fact, Huang Zhiting felt that this kind of inside story should not be mentioned to people outside the Huang family. It can be seen that Gao Pragmatic looked serious, and for some reason she answered in a strange way: "In terms of the size of Siming Mansion, it is far less than Cen.
The family head's branch in Sicheng Prefecture is not even as large as the Zhao family's control in Siming Mansion, but Siming Mansion has a relatively dense population, so there are usually about 5,000 wolf soldiers.
In addition, the branches of the Huang family are generally more honest than the branches of the Cen family, and their support for the main branch will be higher. If they can fight with all their strength, they can also form an army of 50,000. Still.
There is one thing: since the Huang family's branches have been guarding Annan all year round, the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers is also the best in Guangxi."
Gao pragmatic understood what Huang Zhiting meant, that is to say, the Huang family may be slightly inferior to the Cen family in terms of paper strength, but because the internal conflicts within the family are smaller and the wolf soldiers have stronger combat effectiveness, they may be roughly on the same level as the Cen family.
A state of even rivalry.
He nodded and secretly calculated in his mind: If he could persuade the Cen and Huang families to join hands, then the two families could even have a hundred thousand wolf soldiers to fight. This is no joke. If these wolf soldiers had the same number as last night,
The level of several hundred wolf soldiers, or even slightly worse than the batch last night, is still a quite powerful force.
You can think of it this way, if the two families join forces to rebel, even with the level of the Ming Dynasty's southern official army, even if they mobilize 200,000 troops, they may not be able to solve the problem. So what if these 100,000 wolf soldiers can attack Annan? Annan and the Northern Dynasty just died.
King Qian, who is the best at fighting, should not be able to withstand these 100,000 wolf soldiers, right?
But the problem is that the imperial court will definitely not be interested in launching troops against Annan. After all, when Zhang Fu secured Annan four times, Annan was not saved in the end. Most people in the imperial court are definitely not interested in chewing this little piece of meat.
He is also very hard-headed.
Unless I can find a way to turn this matter into a "local war" that does not require the court's money or effort, or even a "chieftain war", and then rely on my relationship between the palace and the court to keep the court silent about it,
Let the two chieftains do it, and maybe the court can reluctantly accept it.
As for how Annan's status will be arranged if he can really be captured, this matter can be studied carefully.
Gao Pangshi was moved in his heart, and thought to himself: It would be great if I could control the Cen and Huang families. Then let the Cen and Huang families divide Annan, but give up their territory in Guangxi to the imperial court to repatriate their land. That would accomplish more with one stone.
, perfect.
But, how do I control the Cen and Huang families? This question seems a bit big and difficult...

Ahhhhh, the purpose of the volume "Based on Guangxi" has finally been revealed! I know that many friends may not be interested in this volume. It should be better now. After all, it is Gao Pragmatic's first "own territory"
