Dunhou King Mo Jinggong, in history, after the Mo Dynasty was defeated, he proclaimed himself emperor with the support of his uncle Mo Yulin. Later, he was defeated by the Zheng army. He and Mo Yulin defected to the Ming Dynasty and took care of Siming Mansion.
In this life, his and Mo Yulin's fate changed slightly, but they still couldn't escape the fateful entanglement with the chieftains of Guangxi - they were once again sheltered by the coalition of the two chieftains of Guangxi.
Originally, Mo Jinggong came to Mo Yulin on Mo Maoqia's order to let Mo Yulin stick to Taiyuan. Who knew that as soon as he arrived in Taiyuan, news came that Mo Maoqia had defected to the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, he and his uncle Mo Yulin had two choices. One was to follow Mo Mao to negotiate for the Ming Dynasty, which needless to say; the other was to establish himself as emperor and call on the "Mo clan in the world" to rebel.
Of course Mo Jinggong wishes to proclaim himself emperor, but it is debatable to call on the Mo family to resist. The key is that the current situation of the Mo family is too difficult. Both the north and the south are being beaten, and neither side is easy to deal with.
Relatively speaking, the Annan people of the Mo Dynasty do not feel that the Li Dynasty has an overwhelming advantage over them. Most of the Mo family officials feel that even if King Ying's side loses a battle, the losses will indeed be huge, but Mo Dynasty
There is still a chance to "catch up".
The problem is that Ming took action.
No minister of the Mo family is so arrogant that he thinks he can defeat the Ming Dynasty - Emperor Taizu knelt down without saying a word, do we still need to consider it?
Back then, Zhang Fu used 80,000 Ming troops to conquer the entire Annan over and over again. Now the Mo family only holds half of Annan. How can they compete with the Ming Dynasty?
Therefore, at this time, it is definitely not a wise move to call on the Mo family to resist. Whoever likes to do this kind of thing like eggs against stones, I, Mo Jinggong, am not tired of living. Besides, Taiyuan City was originally an isolated city, and now it is still
Being surrounded, I jumped out to oppose the Ming Dynasty at this time. Then I am not an old man eating arsenic - living impatiently?
On the contrary, joining Ming Dynasty not only provides a way to survive, but may also be a prosperous road!
Why? Because of two points.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty may not be like the Yongle Dynasty, insisting on putting Annan under the direct jurisdiction of counties. After all, they tried it once back then, but gave up because it was too costly. It didn’t work then, but it will work now? So maybe it will happen again this time
is the same result.
More importantly, it seems that the Ming Dynasty sent troops this time not to eliminate the Mo family. They probably fell into the trap of sowing discord, so they sent troops angrily to "punish" the Mo family.
This is worth noting. Maybe as long as the matter is explained clearly, the Ming Dynasty will immediately withdraw its troops. If you think more optimistically, maybe it is the Zheng family who did this to sow discord?
When the truth of the matter comes out, Ming Dynasty will become angry and angry, thinking that they have already sent out troops anyway, and the sword will not be sheathed without seeing blood, so he will simply kill this Zheng family who is seeking death... Then isn't my Mo family in vain?
Pick up a big bargain?
Since the Ming Dynasty is probably not willing to directly rule Annan, after the Zheng family is destroyed, will the land not be given to my Mo family?
If it doesn't work, bribe the local officials in Guangxi! Anyway, the attitude of the Ming Emperor was largely influenced by the attitude of the Guangxi governor. If the Guangxi governor thought that the "two Annans" were more troublesome, then
It is very likely that the Ming Emperor followed the advice of Guangxi and left southern Annan directly to the Mo family.
Therefore, don’t treat Ming hard, treat him softly, be a son, a grandson, or even a dog. It doesn’t matter. Ming never hesitates when it engages in strategic contraction. When the time comes, it is very likely that he will be happy.
So he treated southern Annan as a bone and threw it to Mo.
Secondly, there may be another benefit to joining the Ming Dynasty. Mo Maoqia now has an assassination charge on his head. If the exact result of this matter cannot be found out in the end, he will not be able to get rid of this crime. By then, the Ming Dynasty will
When he got angry, he might have dismissed Mo Maoqia and found someone else to be the "Commander of the Annan Capital".
According to Ming Dynasty's custom, this person must be found from among the Mo family, so who should he look for?
The most important criteria should be three: first, closeness by blood. If you can't find someone in a large sect, find someone in the closest small sect. This is the custom of the Ming Dynasty, and it will definitely be extended to Annan.
Mo Jinggong is the eldest son of King Qian and Mo Maoqia's "uncle", and King Qian's bloodline is close to him, so Mo Jinggong fits this perfectly.
Second, you must have a certain level of strength. Without strength, you will definitely not be able to secure the position of Lord of Annan. Although the Ming Dynasty can use prestige to suppress it, they cannot help you suppress this or suppress that all day long. It mainly depends on your own strength, and
Mo Jinggong has the support of his uncle Mo Yulin. He currently has an unimpaired 25,000-strong army, not to mention a full 10,000 more than Ruan Juan. Even if he compares with King Ying, he is not necessarily weaker.
Yes, of course he is a suitable candidate.
Third, be obedient. This is especially important. Ming Dynasty is not here to do charity. Of course, it will choose the most obedient person to be the commander-in-chief of Annan, and it is impossible to pick a thorn to cause trouble for itself. Therefore, obedience must be the key.
item.
Once these principles are understood, the attitudes of Mo Jinggong and Mo Yulin become clear - surrender obediently! We must leave the best impression on Gao An Tai!
Be respectful, obedient, and treat your country as your biological father!
What? Are you asking if this will make you lose face?
Haha, why don't you ask Emperor Taizu? Ask him if he felt that face was a big issue when he bowed his head at Zhennanguan.
Mo Chao never thought this was a problem!
In fact, not only the Mo Dynasty but also the Annan dynasties had the same attitude on this issue, that is, it is normal to surrender to China, because they themselves are Little China!
The Annan people have psychological advantages in Indochina, and even in the Southeast Asia region.
They think they are Little China. Although they are a small country when facing "Big China", when facing other surrounding countries, they think they are a big country and are superior to others - we have Chinese ancestry and are not like you.
The barbarians are not all the same!
Historically, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, one of the favorite things the Annan people did in paying tribute was to compare with North Korea. Compare for what? Compare with who gets more courtesy from the Central Plains dynasty, because North Korea also calls itself Little China, and they
Annan is the number one competitor - just like two sons competing for favor in front of their father.
Driven by this mentality, Mo Jinggong not only opened the city obediently and "surrendered as ordered", but he also had no objection at all to Gao Jingshi sending people to break up and reorganize the army in their hands. Gao Jinggong even asked his own servants to serve as military supervisors.
Appearing in the command line of the Mo army, Mo Jinggong also convinced his somewhat unhappy uncle Mo Yulin.
Tolerate the calm for a while and take a step back to open up the sea. The Ming people will eventually leave. It is only right to use their strength to deal with the current enemy first.
Mo Yulin himself is also a Ming-phobic party. He is just a little unhappy that the army in his hands has been "usurped" by Gao Pragmatic, but after thinking about it, he feels that his nephew's words are reasonable. Anyway, the Ming people will not stay in Annan forever.
Lending the army to them can be used well, and they can also take this opportunity to express goodwill and seek greater benefits for the future... Well, it is not a good idea to save the country in a roundabout way.
King Qian taught his son well! He is a person who can be entrusted with important responsibilities.
So, King Dunhou Mo Jinggong and the general on the right, Mo Yulin, opened the gate of Taiyuan City. They personally held the seal and went out of the city to pay homage to Guangxi's censor Gao Pingshi. They handed over Taiyuan City and the 25,000 troops in it, and
He repeatedly expressed that his uncle and nephew were willing to be the vanguard of the heavenly army to wipe out the rebellious gangs of Li Ni and Zheng.
