Taiyuan is not the end of this trip. At least there is Thang Long City in the south, which has actually been obtained, and is waiting for Gao Pangshi to... er, arrive.
However, setting off immediately is not enough. At least the Mo army in Taiyuan City must be broken up and reorganized.
Although disbanding and reorganizing does not mean that this army will completely become a highly pragmatic and capable army, it is at least a little stronger than standing still.
Time was tight and there was no time to prepare the troops carefully. Gao Pragmatic directly took out 250 of the 300 servants under his command and threw them into the Mo army at a ratio of 1%. Almost everyone was equivalent to a helicopter lift.
Hundreds of households just don’t have names and titles.
In terms of rank, the rank of Baihu is the sixth rank, and someone higher than him is currently at a higher level - although the actual status of the two is thousands of miles apart.
The reorganization was too late to go deep into the reorganization. After breaking up the Mo army and reorganizing it, and letting his own servants serve as actual "company instructors", Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to set off south to Thang Long.
Speaking of which, the surrender of Mo Jinggong and Mo Yulin really had some effect on Gao Pragmatic. The most direct point is of course the strengthening of the military strength. Originally, the Cen and Huang families had a total of 50,000 wolf soldiers. They lost a little. Now they happen to be the number one.
A large number of reinforcements have been added, and the number is basically still 50,000. Now with the addition of 25,000 Mo troops, there are 75,000 troops. If Gao Jue's troops in Shenglong City are added, it will be a proper 80,000 troops.
, exactly the same as Zhang Fu's military strength back then.
And the most interesting thing is that Mo Jinggong and Mo Yulin only recognize Gao Pragmatism, but not Guangxi chieftains, so as long as this Mo army is still "obedient", they can be regarded as Gao Pragmatism's own soldiers.
.
As a result, Gao Jingshi has 30,000 "direct descendants" under his command. If you add the more than 9,000 sailors on the fleet, that is nearly 40,000 amphibious and land forces. It is really a large army, but this time it will not "
The stem is weak and the branches are strong.”
Of course, the dispatch of more than 70,000 and nearly 80,000 troops was huge, with banners flying over the mountains, but relatively speaking, the march was much slower than before when there were only wolf soldiers. They covered a total of 140 miles, and they walked three lives.
It took half a day and it was only on the fourth day that we arrived at Thang Long City.
When Gao Jue entered the city, Mo Maoqia insisted on not going out of the city to greet Gao Jue on the grounds of "eye disease". But when Gao Pingshi arrived in Shenglong City in person, he could no longer use this excuse not to come forward - in fact, he did not dare to come forward.
Not showing up.
In his opinion, Gao Jue was just a servant. Even if his actual power was not small, his status was still there. It would be a bit of a loss for him to come forward in person, but Gao Pragmatic was different.
Over the past few days, he had already asked Gao Jingshi clearly about Gao Jingshi's identity: he was born in a family of Wenzong; his uncle was not only the former chief minister who had been in charge of the world for ten years, but also had the posthumous title Wenzheng.
At the top of the list of civil servants; he has been the companion of the current Emperor Wanli for ten years, an absolute close minister of the Emperor, and a confidant; that's all, he himself is actually the only one recognized by the Ming Dynasty as the number one scholar with six titles, the world's top literary scholar, and a new scholar
And patrolling a province...
Could this be someone he, Mo Maoqia, dared not to greet in person?
What's more, the army is pressing down on the territory now!
When Gao Pangshi appeared outside the city, Mo Maoqia had already led all the civil and military officials of Thang Long City to greet him for more than an hour. None of the pampered Annan dignitaries dared to complain this time. They were all respectful and full of expressions.
laugh.
Gao Pingshi didn't wear his inspector's robe this time. After all, the green robe with Xie Zhi patch could not control the scene, so he took out the red silk flying fish suit that had been kept at the bottom of the box for a long time and put it on. This also deepened Annan's "
The imperial court's impression of his specialness - the seventh-grade patrol officer will receive a special reward and a super-grade service!
In fact, he was overthinking this. The current situation was in front of him. Not to mention the green robe and Xie Zhi patch, even if he was wearing common clothes, Mo Chao still had to kneel when he should.
From Mo Mau Chia, the "Emperor of Dai Viet", to the officials under him, no one wore the clothes they wore in Annam today. They all changed into the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty. Mo Mao Chia did not have any bright yellow color on his body.
They dress neatly in the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the second rank of the Commander-in-Chief, and the following officials use the same analogy - it is really an analogy, because many of them have not actually registered in the Ming Dynasty, and the current official uniform levels are all "analogy"
Come out, a lot of it was done during the last few days due to rush work.
Regarding Mo Maoqia's blindness from glaucoma, Gao Jue had already informed Gao Jingshi in advance, so when Gao Jingshi saw the "second-grade official" whose eyes were covered with red cloth strips, he knew that it must be Mo Maoqia.
Mo Maoqia couldn't see anything, so naturally he couldn't see Gao pragmatism. Mo Jingzhi, the male minister beside him, reminded him, and Mo Maoqia knelt down directly on the ground and said loudly: "I am the official Annan Dutong Si Dutong."
Send Mo Maoqia to see the press station."
Similarly, the second-grade civilian chief envoy can only call himself a lower official in front of the inspector. Of course, the general envoy can only call himself a lower official.
There is another point that should be mentioned in particular: In the 20th year of Jiajing, Mo Dengyong surrendered. "Sejong used the land as the commander-in-chief of Annan, and the Mo family as the commander-in-chief of Annan. The rank was from the second rank, and the country was divided into thirteen inheritances.
The political department was the Thirteenth Propaganda and Fu Envoys Division, under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Buzheng." Later, the imperial court ordered the Thirteenth Road of Annan, Haiyang and other provinces to have a member of the Xuanfu Envoys Division, all under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Buzheng.
In other words, the Mo Dynasty, including the Commander-in-Chief himself, plus the Thirteenth Propaganda and Governor-General, were theoretically under the jurisdiction of the Guangxi Chief Envoy Division, and the Guangxi Chief Envoy Division itself was supervised by Gao Pragmatic, the Guangxi patrol inspector. Therefore,
For officials like Mo Chao, Gao pragmatism is really a superior official.
However, there is one point that needs to be explained. When the Mo family was attached, Annan had already been divided into the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Thanh Hoa, Yi'an, Hue, and Guangnan.
The nine Xuanfu divisions that the superior can only govern in northern Vietnam, these nine theoretical Annan feudal officials, have all come to see the superior Gao Jingshi under Mo Maoqia's strict order.
Although all of the above are nominal matters, in the current situation, it is easier to handle things in name only.
So after Gao Pingshi "cordially received" Mo Maoqia, the commander-in-chief of the Annan capital, he suddenly asked a question that made all Annan people stunned: "I only saw nine Xuanfu, where are the other four?"
Uh...you really don't know, or are you kidding me?
Those four nominal Annan subordinates, Xuanfu, are all in the hands of the Li Dynasty. How can they come to see them?
But Mok Mau Cha reacted quickly. Although he was blind, he immediately said: "These four people have become thieves!" Although this guy is the "Emperor of Dai Viet", he can speak Chinese quite well, but with a Cantonese accent. Fortunately
Cantonese has spread widely in later generations, and its influence is not small. Gao Pragmatic can actually understand it.
"Oh?" Gao Pragmatic seemed to have never known about this matter and asked seriously: "What is the interpretation of Mo Dutong's remarks?"
Mo Maoqia heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and said quickly: "According to the situation, there is a traitor of the Zheng family in the former. They are unwilling to obey the decisions of the Celestial Dynasty. They claim to be descendants of the former Li Dynasty and stand on their own in Thanh Hoa..."
After saying that, he told Gao Pingshi the old story of Zheng's re-establishment of the Li Dynasty according to Mo Chao's words. According to what he said, the so-called pseudo-emperor of the Li Dynasty established by the Zheng family had never received the favor of the Ming Dynasty.
Admit it, you are an out-and-out traitor, and the Zheng family is the chief among the traitors.
Now, the leader of the rebels is even gathering an army. He wants to resist the Annan Commander-in-Chief entrusted by the Celestial Empire and carry out his rebellion to the end. This is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned!
Therefore, he hoped that the Celestial Empire would promote justice, that Gao Zhentai would uphold justice, reward the commanders of the three armies, defeat the rebels of Li and Zheng in one fell swoop, return Annan to a bright and prosperous world, and return Ming Dynasty to a peaceful Tiannan.
Gao Pragmatic's face was serious, but he praised: "Well, since Mo Dutong has made this request, I will certainly uphold justice for you... But tomorrow's soldiers are far away and tired, and there is no need to attack the Li rebels and Zheng thieves.
I need you, Annan, to cooperate with me, so why don't we make some arrangements first, and wait until I and the Commander-in-Chief have negotiated all the details before sending out troops without too much delay, what do you think?"
"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for help. Please move to the city. The official has prepared a small amount of wine to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "Okay then, just follow what Dutong said and invite everyone."
"How dare you? Don't you dare? Please go to the stage first."
Gao pragmatic glanced at the Xiangfu Gate in front of him, which Gao Jue said could only be accessed by the "Emperor of Dai Viet", and walked in from the main entrance proudly.
