Chapter 148 Its better to go to Ming than to go to Li
"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this... should we contact the governor and inspector of Guangxi quickly to explain the matter clearly?"
Of course, explanations are needed, but is it too late to explain now?
"Your Majesty, Lang Son has been lost and the North Road is no longer safe to defend. Forty thousand soldiers will be able to reach Thang Long City in less than three days. Currently, there are only ten thousand old and weak soldiers in Thang Long City. How can we defend it?
?”
Could it be that the Ming army was mechanized infantry? Even if Lang Son was lost, there was still 300 miles to go and they would be killed in three days?
"Your Majesty, for the current plan, we must quickly recall King Ying and Ruan Juan to Shenglong. As long as Shenglong is defended, we still have a chance to turn things around..."
Huh? What a great idea! Then should I give my head to Zheng Song or to Gao Pragmatic? This is really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, I think that since Gao Ping is lost, it doesn't matter whether Xuan Guang defends or not, so why not quickly transfer Mo Yulin back to Shenglong..."
"Nonsense, what's the use of Mo Yulin's transfer back to Sheng Long? It's better to transfer it to Taiyuan. Then Mo Yulin's troops can not only block the Ming army coming south from Gaoping, but also threaten the Ming army coming from Lang Son from the side. That's it.
As long as these two Ming armies still want to take Thang Long City, they must first take Taiyuan, so that Thang Long can have a chance to breathe..." [Wufeng Note: This Taiyuan is the Taiyuan of Annan, in Thang Long
It is about one hundred and twenty to thirty miles due north of the city.】
Mo Maoqia found that this was the only suggestion that seemed to have some brains, and he hurriedly said: "King Dunhou, can Mo Yulin's department be able to take on such an important task?"
King Dunhou, whose name is Mo Jinggong, is the eldest son of King Qian Mo Jingdian. [Note: Don’t ask me why both my father and son are called “Mo Jing X”, I don’t know. By the way, Mo Jing Gong’s
My nephew is also called Mo Jingkuan...]
Dunhou King Mo Jinggong can be regarded as Mo Maoqia's "royal uncle", but they are about the same age, both in their thirties and less than forty. During the years when Mo Jingdian held power, Mo Jinggong and Mo Maoqia
The two uncles and nephews actually have a pretty good relationship in private.
Faced with Mo Maoqia's question, Mo Jinggong didn't know how to answer. He could only say: "After all, Mo Yulin is the son of Duke Xijun. He is loyal to both the Mo family and His Majesty."
Mo Maoqia was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.
An old incident is involved here. The "Xi Jun Gong" that Mo Jinggong mentioned was named Ruan Jing, and he was the father-in-law of King Qian Mo Jingdian. In the 25th year of Jiajing reign, Annan's commander-in-chief Mo Fuhai died, and General Fan Ziyi planned to establish a clan.
Mo Zhengzhong became emperor and was defeated by King Qian Mo Jingdian and Duke Ruan Jing of Xijun. Fan Ziyi and others took control of Haiyang and invaded the border of Guangxi. Finally, the Ming Dynasty sent Yu Dayou to join forces with Mo Jingdian and Ruan Jing to annihilate them.
[Wufeng's note: Neither Chinese nor Vietnamese history books explain why Ruan Jing's eldest son was named Mo Yulin, and the name Mo Yulin has different translations, also called Mo Yu (the king adds a chariot next to him). Because the historical records are incomplete,
In this book, it is tentatively believed that because of Ruan Jing’s merits, the eldest son was given the national surname.]
In other words, Mo Yulin is actually Mo Jinggong's uncle.
Mo Maoqia thought for a while and said: "Mo Yulin is an old member of King Qian, and his loyalty goes without saying, but I'm afraid he doesn't know that the current situation has reached this point, and our Mo family history is in danger... I want to invite King Dunhou
Go to Xuanguang to explain the situation to Mo Yulin and supervise the army. I wonder if King Dunhou is willing to go?"
"This is the time when life and death are at stake." Mo Jingggong knelt down and bowed his head and said, "Since I am a member of the Mo clan, I am naturally willing to go."
"Okay! Then there is King Lao Dunhou." Mo Maoqia said loudly: "Come here and give me the Festival Talisman!"
Naturally, the festival talisman is usually prepared. Needless to say, the current situation is urgent, so we should be simple. After giving the festival talisman to Mo Jinggong, Mo Maoqia said again: "After King Dunhou and Mo Yulin led their troops to Taiyuan,
Don't rush to fight the Ming army first, wait until I negotiate with Guangxi first before making any plans."
Mo Jinggong knew what Mo Maoqia meant, and everyone knew about this situation now. If things went wrong, Jiang Ming might not die, but Jiang Zheng would have no chance of survival - at least their surname Mo, Jiang Zheng, would definitely die.
, so don’t fight to the death with the Ming army first, lest your last chance of survival be cut off.
After Mo Jinggong accepted the order, Mo Maoqia asked again: "All the ministers already know the current situation. Li Ni, the Zheng family and our dynasty are irreconcilable, so there is no need for negotiation, but the Ming Dynasty may not
.”
He paused and sighed: "I didn't send any assassins to assassinate the governor of Guangxi, Gao Gong. There must be a hidden secret in this matter. The Ming Dynasty must have made a mistake, or I was framed... In short, this
The reason behind it must be explained clearly to the Ming Dynasty, and it must be explained clearly to Gao Gong! However, there may be some dangers in going on a mission to the Ming Dynasty. I wonder who among you is willing to go?"
It is necessary to explain the situation to the Ming Dynasty, but if the person who sends the envoy is himself... it will not be good. All the ministers suddenly looked at their noses and noses, and they seemed to be worried about the future of the Dai Viet Empire.
, so that the emperor’s words were not heard.
An old man sighed, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go."
Mo Maoqia could hear this person's voice. This was the most famous scholar in the history of Mo Dynasty. Ruan Binglian was the number one scholar during Mo Dazheng's reign. He was a veteran of the "Dai Viet Empire" and had actually become an official now. However, because of him
He lives in Thang Long, so he is still often invited to the palace as a consultant.
"If Mr. Ruan is willing to go, this matter will definitely come true!" Mo Maoqia was overjoyed and said: "I heard that Guangxi's censor Gao Gong was the sixth number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty. He is also the so-called top scholar in the world.
In my dynasty, only Mr. Ruan can go without losing his dignity. In this case, Mr. Ruan will go there."
Ruan Binglian said: "How can the six champions of the Ming Dynasty be compared to the veteran minister? The veteran minister is not here to discuss academic affairs with Gao Xunzong. He is just to explain the situation so that the two sides will not engage in war and gain the advantage of the deceiver."
"May I ask Mr. Ruan how to convince Mr. Gao?" Mo Maoqia asked.
Ruan Binglian shook his head and said: "We still don't know what the high patrol officer's attitude is right now, and we can't talk about how to persuade him. I just have to explain it first... We'll see how the high patrol press officer responds before we make a conclusion."
Mo Maoqia thought for a while and asked the ministers to retreat first, and then said to Ruan Binglian alone: "Mr. Ruan, I am worried that Gao Pragmatic will not retreat even if he explains the situation."
Ruan Binglian seemed to have been mentally prepared for this. He was not surprised when he heard this. He just said: "It depends on what he wants."
Mo Maoqia smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I want to say something depressing. I feel that Ming Dynasty has never given up on me, Da Yue. This time... I don't know if they colluded with Li Ni. In short, I think the current situation is...
It’s hard to win over. What if Ming Dynasty refuses to retreat, what does Mr. Ruan think I should do?”
Ruan Binglian sighed and said: "As a minister, I dare not talk about this matter."
"The matter has come to an end. Mr. Ruan doesn't have to worry about it. Just say whatever you have to say. I can bear it."
Ruan Binglian sighed again and said: "If this is indeed the case, it is better to bring down the Ming Dynasty than the Li day."
