Chapter 162 Dividing spheres of influence

Dongfeng is just a small city, too small to accommodate all the 80,000 troops under Gao Jingshi's command stationed in the city. Therefore, there are only 5,000 Gao Jingshi's servants in the small town, and 10,000 direct descendants of Huang Zhiting from Siming Mansion and Siming Prefecture.

, a total of fifteen thousand people.

In addition to the 10,000 Sicheng Prefecture wolf soldiers under Cen Ling's command, the 15,000 people in Dongfeng City were the core troops of this Annan battle.

However, this army has made some adjustments. Gao Jue was temporarily sent to command the army that Mo Yulin had left before. Although this army was supplemented by highly pragmatic Gao family servants into the middle and lower-level command system, it lacked a powerful

The chief general, and because this army was mixed with the troops in Thang Long City and joined the Mo army on the northern front captured by Huang Zhiting's tribe, it is now a basically controllable army, and its number has reached 30,000. There must be

Take control of the safe candidates.

Although Gao Zhang was recommended by Qi Jiguang, his qualifications and status were not as good as those of Gao Jue. Therefore, Gao Pragmatic sent Gao Jue to take charge of the 30,000-strong army, and promoted Gao Zhang to be temporarily in charge of the 5,000-step guard regiment.

Ding——In fact, because they were mixed with sand, they now have less than 5,000.

The army was about to encircle Thanh Hoa. Gao Pangshi did not rush to assign tasks. Instead, he summoned Cen Ling from neutral to Dongfeng to discuss important matters.

Gao Pragmatic's temporary headquarters is the county government of Dongfeng County. Currently, in the flower hall of the county government, there are only three of him, Huang Zhiting, and Cen Ling. On the desk in front of him is a map of Annan's own house that he based on memory.

The map of Annan that I drew myself clearly divided the current Xuanfu Division areas in Annan.

"After clearing Thanh, it is estimated that the remaining areas in Annan should be decided by propaganda, so I came to you to determine how Annan should be distributed after the war." Gao Pragmatic said calmly.

Huang Zhiting and Cen Ling looked at each other without saying anything, but it was obvious that both of them were a little nervous.

Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Annan originally had the Thirteen Xuanfu Division. Later, the Li Dynasty invaded the city from the south, took the land of Guangnan, and established the Guangnan Xuanfu Division. Now there are the Fourteenth Xuanfu Division... You two

How many Xuanfu divisions do you want?"

Both Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting were a little nervous and their palms were sweating. Huang Zhiting was a little better. She knew Gao Jingshi better and knew that Gao Jingshi would not treat her badly, so she didn't speak first.

Cen Ling said: "A Xuanfu Division in Annan is roughly equivalent to a government. Such a major matter is not something that a lower official can speak for himself. Please make a decision based on the situation."

Gao Pragmatic looked towards Huang Zhiting, and Huang Zhiting also said: "Please make your decision according to the stage."

"Since you all said so, let me first talk about the places that Jinghua wants." Gao Pragmatic pointed at the map and said: "Thanglong City was listed separately by the Annan people. For the overall plan, I, Jinghua, have to decide this place.

Take control, do you two have any objections?"

This was for sure. The Cen and Huang families had already guessed that Shenglong City would not be given to them, so they both nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

Gao Pragmatic continued: "In addition to Thang Long, in order to ensure the smooth flow of the rivers and sea routes in Thang Long, Haiyang Xuanfu Division and Jinghua also need to control the area including Thanh Hoa and the area north of Thanh Hoa. Jinghua only needs to

Hai Duong Xuan Fu Si and Thang Long City.”

Cen Ling asked: "Other areas...will be divided between our Cen family and Huang family?"

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "The word carve up is not appropriate. It should be said to be a sphere of influence. If we just carve up these lands so straightforwardly, how can the Annan people not get into trouble? The official positions that should be allocated to the Annan people should be in name only.

They, even Mo Maoqia and others, must be given the name they deserve."

He blinked: "But no matter how you divide it, because the Cen and Huang families have joined in, there will definitely be more monks and fewer people in the end, and there will always be some people who can't help but make trouble... Jinghua fully supports you in countering the rebellion, and will confiscate these after victory."

A rebellious ancestry.”

Oh, it turns out this is the operation, I understand.

Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting looked at each other and understood what was going on. Now the only problem is how to divide the "sphere of influence".

Gao Pingshi said: "The four towns of Taiyuan, Shanxi, Xuanguang, and Xinghua are handled by the Cen family; the four towns of Langshan, Anbang, Beijing North, and Shannan are handled by the Huang family."

This division basically means that the Cen family occupies the entire west and north of Annan, and even some land in the Red River Plain; and the Huang family's Langshan, Anbang, and northern Beijing are all close to the Huang family's old land in Guangxi, and Anbang

Xuan Phu Si also has a long coastline including Ha Long Bay.

However, the Shannan Xuanfu Division and the other three Xuanfu Divisions are separated from each other by the Haiyang Xuanfu Division occupied by Jinghua, but I don’t know why it was arranged this way.

In general, from an area perspective, the Cen family has made a profit; from an economic perspective, the Huang family has made a profit.

But there is still an unresolved problem - the two Xuan Phu departments of Thanh Hoa and Wai Thanh Hoa have not been allocated.

Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Thinghua and Wai Thanh Hua Xuanfu Divisions, I will distribute them according to their merits after we capture the whole Annam, but you can rest assured that I don't want these two Xuanfu Divisions in Jinghua, we will always

I'll give it to you. As for who gets Thanh Hoa, who gets Wai Thanh Hoa, or even the whole family, it depends on how you perform in the ensuing war."

There must always be a carrot dangled in front of the eyes, so that people will be motivated. Gao Qingjing knows this very well.

But in fact, Gao Pangshi had already allocated the two places in his mind: Cen Ling would take Thanh Hoa, and Huang Zhiting would take Wai Thanh Hoa.

He decided on this arrangement after struggling for a long time, because although the place assigned to Cen Ling was large, its economy and population were relatively average, and more importantly, the Cen family had no outlet to the sea.

It may not be a big problem in the short term, but in the long term, the Cen family is likely to be gradually suppressed by the Huang family, thus losing the balance between the two companies - the area occupied by the Huang family is closer to several bases that Jinghua will develop in the future, and will definitely develop.

Go faster.

Therefore, Gao pragmatism must balance this gap.

At the same time, there is another reason that he plans to explain to Huang Zhiting alone later - Waiqinghua and Shannan are close to each other. Gao Pragmatic means that Huang Zhiting can choose Shannan by himself, and when Waiqinghua is assigned to the Huang family in the future,

So he gave it to her.

At that time, he will also persuade Cen Ling to choose Thanh Hoa as his direct control area, so that their dominance will be enhanced by the development of several bases that Gao pragmatically expects to develop.

As for the three towns of Ngai An, Hue, and Quang Nam south of Thanh Hoa, Gao Jingshi had no explanation. Cen Ling and Huang Zhiding tacitly knew that Gao Jingshi wanted these three towns for himself.

However, they still have some doubts in their minds - except for Nie An, the other three places, Hue and Quang Nam, have been occupied by Annan for a short time. Why would Gao Pragmatic choose such a barren land?

Simply talking about Gao Yitai's benevolence and righteousness seems... a bit too naive, right?
