Chapter 158 Taking advantage of the situation

Since Annan and Mochao are internal units, there is no legal problem in commanding them. This not only facilitates Gao Pragmatic's control over Annan, but also facilitates Mo's surrender - at least everyone can live with it in terms of face.

As for what is going on inside, ordinary people in Annan have no idea, while officials must be tight-lipped.

The initial "rule" has been established, and what needs to be done next is undoubtedly to stabilize it.

If Gao Pragmatic gained rule by defeating Mo's army, then he would definitely focus on military suppression and political appeasement as a supplement. But in fact, he fought this battle into a surprise attack. Although Mo Chao was in

The northern front suffered some defeats, but the only real tough battle was the battle of Lang Son, which could barely be counted as Gaoping. The rest were "invincible and determined by communication."

The fleet that suddenly appeared outside Thang Long City and the destructive situation in which Mo Chao was attacked from the north and south were the main reasons why Mo Chao surrendered so easily.

Therefore, this cannot be regarded as a "victory", but should be regarded as a "potential victory".

Victory means the rule of victory, and victory means the rule of victory.

What is momentum? What is the use of momentum?

The emperor conquers the world by harnessing the power, the generals gain longevity by leveraging the power, the merchants gain wealth and honor by harnessing the power, and the ordinary people gain peace by following the power.

People with power should be good at "building momentum", "using momentum" and "controlling the momentum"; people without power should be good at "gauging momentum", "taking advantage of the momentum", and "following the momentum". Rich people are worried about "losing momentum", and civilians are worried about "losing momentum".

People look forward to "gaining power". Therefore, "power" is very important, but people often regard it as too abstract and profound, and this is why they stay away.

Gao Pragmatic is quite good at taking advantage of the situation. For example, when he deceived Mo Maoqia to "restore the title of Annan King" just now, he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of Zhu Yijun's power as the Emperor of the Tomorrow. He forced Mo Yulin to replace Mo Dunrang in charge of the Southern Expedition Army.

It is to use force, to use one's own dragon in hand and Mo Dun to put the enemy's current danger at risk.

What needs to be done next mainly relies on these two methods.

The first is to attract people, and we must quickly cultivate a group of "Beijing faction" within the Mo Dynasty, so as to sideline Mo Maoqia and strengthen their actual control over Annan, so that Annan can truly "be used by me."

The second is the Cypriots. They have to bring the power of the Cen and Huang chieftains into the Mo Dynasty, or form different factions with the old officials of the Mo Dynasty and let them compete with each other, so that they can take advantage of the opportunity to balance the relationship and strength of the two factions to strengthen.

authority.

It is easier to attract people. No matter which dynasty, generation or country, there will be no shortage of traitors and traitors. For example, Mo Jinggong and Mo Yulin are walking on this broad road now. Maybe they have ulterior motives, maybe they themselves

They think they are saving the country through curves, but that doesn't matter. Gao Pragmatism doesn't care what they think in their hearts, only what they do with their hands.

Many times, when people take the first step, they can never look back.

Gao's pragmatism and confidence allowed them to keep going, and they never had the courage to look back.

However, just having the two of them is not enough. First, they do not necessarily have enough strength and prestige. Second, with only such a group of people, it is not convenient for Gao Wu to implement his methods.

There are currently two subjects that can be investigated, one is Ruan Juan and the other is Mo Dunrang.

Ruan Juan's advantage is that he has 15,000 elite troops at hand, and he is also a famous general in the Mo Dynasty. He is not lacking in strength and ability. The reputation and status may be close, but it is a good thing to be close. It is convenient.

He recognizes reality.

His disadvantage is that he is not in Shenglong now, but has gone to take a detour to attack Qinghua. This means that he cannot get in touch with him immediately. Whether it is coercion or inducement, all kinds of methods can be used for a while.

Not used yet.

Mo Dunrang may be an unexpected choice. It stands to reason that he suffered such a big defeat. To a certain extent, he must bear the greatest responsibility for Mo Chao's current predicament, and his military command ability is obviously low and clumsy.

, really shouldn’t be a good candidate for cooperation.

However, employing people is not about selecting a perfect person, and such a person does not exist. The way to employ people is to use his strengths and put him in the right position.

What are Mo Dunrang’s strengths? It is managing internal affairs, as well as his status and prestige.

He and his third brother Mo Jingdian were in charge of the Annan political power and military power. The Mo family maintained an army of 100,000 people in half of Guangxi. Although he had the advantage of the Red River Plain, you must know that he not only maintained the scale of an army of 100,000 people, but also maintained

Mo Jingdian supported Mo Jingdian's long-term military offensive against the Hou Li Dynasty controlled by the Zheng family. The cost of the offensive was much higher than simply raising an army. This can be seen by looking at the last years of the Ming Dynasty in history. This shows that his internal political management ability is still

Remarkable.

Then there is his identity and prestige. He is the actual youngest son of Mo Dengyong (the old man died early), and he is the most prominent person in the Mo Dynasty at the moment besides Mo Mao Cha, the "Emperor of Dai Viet". Since

Being able to win the party struggle and seize the military power left by Mo Jingdian after his death shows that his power in the Mo Dynasty is unmatched.

In other words, by winning over Mo Dunrang, you can basically control the political situation of the Mo Dynasty.

Coupled with Mo Jinggong, Mo Yulin's troops, and the planned Ruan Juan Department, Mo Dynasty's political and military power can be fully controlled.

The problem now is that Mo Jinggong can use the illusory position of "Emperor of Dai Viet" as a carrot to lure him forward, and there will be no turning back as he walks. Ruan Juan can also use methods such as entrusting him with important responsibilities.

Act, but what about Mo Dunrang? What can he do to make him compromise?

After he fully grasped the military and political power of the Mo family, he did not abolish Mo Maoqia and proclaim himself emperor. Firstly, it may be that his power is not stable yet, and secondly, he may not want to bear the reputation of a rebellious minister and is content to be a powerful minister assisting the government.

king.

But no matter which reason it is, it means that it is not easy to win over him.

Since winking over doesn't work, then we have to consider using coercion to overwhelm others.

It just so happened that his previous defeat provided Gao pragmatically with the best excuse for intimidation - just as Gao pragmatically said in front of Mo Maoqia and Mo Chao officials, Mo Maoqia might be worried about Mo Dunyi.

The powerful people in the court dare not punish him, but he is pragmatic and does not need to worry about this.

The presence of Gao Pragmatism here almost represents Daming's attitude, and Daming doesn't need to care about this at the moment - Daming's father has rewarded and punished him. This is a normal operation. Do you have the guts to rebel?

So Gao Jingshi waited. The ten days he set aside were, on the one hand, for Gao Jue to reorganize the Mo army that had surrendered to him - including the tens of thousands of people in Shenglong City;

He received the officials of the Mo Dynasty who came to visit him, so as to win over and cultivate the "Jinghua Faction".

Furthermore, we are waiting for Mo Dunjang to hand over the military conscription power in the south, and Hui Shenglong will plead guilty to him.
