Since Gao Pingshi went south, Annan has won nine of them, but he has always maintained military discipline and never killed a person or looted a city. With the support of Annan's number one scholar like Ruan Binh Lien, the name of benevolence has been spread, and the voice of faith has been spread.
Already revealed.
However, a Bodhisattva-like heart alone cannot govern a place like Annan well. Thunderbolt measures are also needed.
What a coincidence, Zheng Song himself jumped out and hit the muzzle of the gun. How could Gao Pragmatic not take advantage of his plan, expose his trick to everyone, and then use it on others?
What's more, Zheng Songming is stubborn. Although he can't win a battle or calculate, he still wants to shock Annan's people with his "death-defying" act, and then scolds Gao Pragmatic on the spot so that he can't hold his head up. Even though he is dead, he can't stand it.
Yes.
But he didn't expect that Shu Zhan was not Gao Pragmatic's opponent. Not only did he not scold Gao Pragmatic to the point where he couldn't hold his head up, but he was scolded by Gao Pragmatic to the point where he lost all his words and became furious.
It’s a joke. Although Gao Pragmatic has always attached great importance to protecting his reputation, how can he cherish his wings when facing an enemy of the country like Zheng Song? In terms of scolding, if Zheng Song had to study for another thirty years, he would not be able to scold Gao.
Pragmatism, this six-headed champion!
After Gao Jingshi's combination of punches, all the surrenders and generals present were trembling with fear. "Zheng Zheng" also suffered the same fate. If they dared to jump out or were targeted by Gao Jingshi, what good fruits would they get?
Everyone wanted to lower their heads to their crotches.
The servants of the Gao family and the chieftains of Guangxi raised their heads and raised their chests. They all looked at Zixiong and felt that it was truly an honor to have such a master and Shangguan.
Not long after, news came from Yingdu City that the defenders in the city had been fighting among themselves for a while, and now they had opened the city gates to ask for surrender.
This time I asked you to surrender, it was true.
When the tree falls and the hozens scatter, Zheng Song is already dead, what can the remaining people do?
Gao Pangshi immediately ordered the Mo family's surrender army and the Zheng family's surrender army to advance into the city under the command of Gao Jue to capture and wipe out the remaining Zheng family members. The army then entered again.
However, in fact, Yingdu City could not accommodate such a large army as Gao Jingshi, and Mo Yulin's troops happened to be approaching. Gao Jingshi changed his order and asked the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers to be responsible for disarming and guarding the Zheng family's troops in Yingdu City, waiting for reorganization.
Mo Yulin's and Gao Ju's tribes, with a total of nearly 80,000 troops, immediately crossed the river and set up camp south of Lan River. Waiting for the situation in Yingdu City to stabilize, they immediately rushed south to He Hua House, and together with Ruan Juan, they posed a threat to Nguyen Huang in Hue.
.
The work of exterminating the remnants of the Zheng family was completed relatively smoothly. Because Zheng Song was facing hundreds of thousands of troops pressing the border and Zheng Song was facing death, a chaos broke out in the city.
In this round of internal strife, Huang Tingai, the most staunch main combatant general of the Zheng army, was killed, Zheng Song's younger brother Zheng Du disappeared, and Zheng Song's sons, such as Zheng Jie, Zheng Chun, etc., were all killed by the rebels. The Zheng family was
It is ownerless.
The wolf soldiers of the Cen and Huang families had not yet suffered a defeat when they went south this time. They were very high-spirited and filled with murderous intent after entering the city. They quickly frightened the leaderless rebels and brought them under control.
Later, after doing an inventory, it was discovered that because Zheng Song had reduced all the troops from other prefectures to Yingdu Prefecture, there were actually 40,000 Zheng troops gathered in Yingdu Prefecture, but some of them were good and bad.
After further interrogation, it was discovered that Zheng Song's plan this time was to use Li Weitan and himself to "sacrifice themselves for the country" to arouse the anger of Zheng Jun in the city, and then resist desperately, "motivating the people of the world to resist the tyranny of Ku Ming."
However, Zheng Song never expected that in all dynasties and in all countries in the world, no one lacked heroes, and no one lacked bears. Zheng Jun in this city not only was not inspired by his death to fight, but also
Heartbroken, most people demanded surrender.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zheng Du and Huang Tingai killed several generals in a row. They originally wanted to stabilize the situation, but who knew that instead, the soldiers who wanted to surrender did not stop doing anything. They simply took the risk and "revolted on the battlefield", killing them and then surrendering.
Ming—it’s a certificate of submission at any rate!
As a result, there was a scene of internal strife in Yingdu City.
An inventory afterward revealed that the 40,000-strong army had been killed or wounded in the internal strife, and 7-8,000 had fled. There were still more than 30,000 people left, all of whom had been taken in by Gao Jingshi. However, this time Gao Jue told Gao Jingshi that these Zheng troops were mixed, even if they were in accordance with the regulations.
There are also many people who are not qualified according to Annan's standards and are not suitable for joining the army. It is recommended that they be used for other purposes.
Gao Pragmatic followed the good example and asked Gao Jue to select 20,000 people from the more than 30,000 people, and to temporarily raise the rest after they were disbanded.
Of course, raising them temporarily is not because they are pragmatic and have too much money to spend, but this group of people cannot simply be released to the civilian population - they are all former soldiers, and there are enough to 12,300, in case they are all suddenly released.
, wouldn’t it be troublesome to gather people to cause trouble?
So we need to raise them temporarily, and after Nguyen Hoang in the south is settled, let this group of people go to Ha Hua Mansion - that is, Ha Tinh - to mine, and the name is easy to find: atonement.
Continuing to serve as a soldier is atonement, and being sent to mine is also atonement.
It's just that after such a reorganization, there are 80,000 surrendered troops under Gao Pragmatic's command. He must establish his rule quickly, otherwise he will be able to support the 80,000 troops by himself. Even if the Annan soldiers are paid less than the wolf soldiers, they will be no better.
If you go there, you will have to accompany him for hundreds of thousands of taels a year - and that's assuming there is no war.
Although if he had to support it, he could squeeze out the money, but it was not necessary.
After clearing up the rebels, there are two main things left: one is to judge the rebellious ministers, and the other is to threaten Hue.
The workload of judging rebellious ministers was very heavy, and Gao Jingshi couldn't handle it by himself, so he took a bad trick and mobilized a group of surrendered ministers from the Mo Dynasty to take charge respectively. Gao Jingshi was only responsible for the important figures above the third rank of the Later Li Dynasty.
However, since he was not very optimistic about the character of the ministers who surrendered to the Mo Dynasty, he sent some literate servants and chieftains to participate in the supervision.
As a result, this trial was undoubtedly extremely strict. Later, a large number of officials from the Li Dynasty were dismissed. The charges were divided into two types: one was treason, which was definitely a serious crime. Not only was it basically difficult for me to
If you escape to death, your family will be implicated, and all your property will be confiscated;
The other is to do evil, that is, even if they are not rebellious, they have always been dissatisfied with the rule of the Later Li Dynasty and the Zheng family (such people do exist, especially civil servants, because the imperial examinations of the Mo Dynasty were more open)
Many, the civil servants of the Southern Dynasties have always disliked the Zheng family), but as long as you are an official who is not honest and have done any bad things, you will now be found out and punished, and you will also have to have a "public trial" - build a terrace and do it in front of the people of Annan.
Explain his guilt and then pass judgment.
Except for those who have great public indignation and will definitely be sentenced to death by the high-ranking official who has bought people's hearts, most of them will not die - but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and the confiscation of property and land is certainly a high-level penalty.
It's my favorite thing to do.
This round of purges is more violent, but Gao Pragmatic is not worried. As for the Annan people, it is just like the previous Yongle Dynasty - Zhang Fu is in Annan, and Annan is peaceful in all directions. No one dares to stick their head out to Zhang Fu.
Cut it, because everyone knows that in terms of fighting, he can't beat Zhang Fu.
As for Annan being at war once Zhang Fu left, of course Gao Pragmatic knew it, but he was not in a hurry, because he did not intend to hand Annan over to a greedy and violent waste management company like Ma Qi. He, Gao, planned to do something about it in some way.
To a certain extent, imitate Huang Fu. Even if you leave, the people left behind must implement this style of work.
As long as there is no bad thing like Ma Qi, Gao Pragmatic is not afraid that the Annan people dare to jump with him.
What's more, Mo Chao is still the nominal leader of Annan... This should be taken advantage of. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never consider abolishing Mo Maoqia now.
Well, at least let him finish the work of this "transitional government" well. Anyway, Mo Mao Cha is blind now, let him ignore the government in name, close the door and be his commander-in-chief, and even "Emperor of Dai Viet"
"so what?
Withered bones in the grave, sooner or later I will have to... uh, cross my words.
Judging rebellious ministers is "internal affairs", while intimidating Ruan Huang is "diplomacy", and it falls under the category of naval and gun diplomacy.
While the rear was reorganizing, the army in front did not stop. After Gao Jue completed the reorganization of Zheng's army in Yingdu Prefecture, he handed over the 20,000 soldiers to Gao Zhang and took the previous 60,000 troops southward with Mo Yulin.
, the 85,000-strong army cooperated with Ruan Juan of Ha Hua Mansion, and gathered another 100,000-strong army, eyeing Hue.
Gao Jing's fleet also pulled anchor and set off, heading south to the mouth of the Thuan An River to threaten Hue - this is the main reason why the cities of Annam were undefended against Gao Pang Shi. Each of these important cities was either by the sea or by the river, and they often occupied both areas.
, now that Gao Pinggong has a 100% advantage in the naval force, the opponent is in an embarrassing situation where he can only be passively beaten forever, and he has no place to even counterattack.
I can hit you anytime and anywhere, but you can hit me just for talking in your sleep.
The treatment that the British enjoyed more than a hundred years later was now enjoyed by Gao Pragmatically in Annan in advance.
What's Ruan Huang's attitude?
Alas, what kind of attitude can Ruan Huang have? When Zheng Song was destroyed, he knew that a disaster was coming. Hue and Guangnan now are not the Hue and Guangnan that were more than ten years ago in the original history. Without Mo, the Zheng family would continue
During the more than ten years of fighting, Ruan Huang was extremely capable. He only had a population of about 400,000, and he could even muster 20,000 soldiers. How could he fight?
Moreover, historically, he and his son Ruan Fuyuan only broke up with the Zheng family decades later. At that time, they invited some Portuguese to help him build a "long fort" on the northern border - roughly equivalent to the Great Wall.
Separating the territory from the Zheng family, they also did business with the Portuguese and later the Dutch, learned technology, and began to make cannons, warships, etc., and only then could they resist the Zheng family, which had superior military strength.
Now he wants population but no population, wealth but no wealth, and foreign aid but no foreign aid, what else can he expect?
Gao pragmatically sent Ruan Youliao as an envoy to Hue in a very domineering manner. Ruan Youliao met Ruan Huang and said directly without saying much: "Mr. Ruan, Gao Yiantai asked me to convey the exact words to you."
Ruan Huang sighed softly and asked, "General Ruan, please speak clearly. I am all ears."
"Gao pressed the platform to ask Mr. Ruan..." Ruan Youliao also sighed: "Should you come, or should I go?"
