Ananda Khan, who has dominated Monan for half a century, has entered a life countdown, which means that the north will once again fall into a period of change.
At this time, Gao Pragmatic could no longer stay in Annan with peace of mind. He had to return to Guangxi first, and then immediately resign and return to Beijing when his one-year term was up.
Mongolian affairs are too far away to be controlled in Henan, let alone Annan, which is thousands of miles away. It is most convenient to sit in the capital. This also shows that the Ming Dynasty placed the emperor at the "throat of the big cock" in Yanjing.
, at least from a military perspective, it is very valuable and can ensure that the entire empire's manpower, material and financial resources are tilted towards the north.
Therefore, Zhu Di's move of the capital was not inexplicably because he was afraid of staying in Nanjing, but rather because in his eyes, Ming's enemies were in the north and not in the south.
Fear?
Is there an opponent worth fearing in the Yongle Dynasty?
Judging from Zhu Di's style as emperor, he was not even afraid of the emperor's mortal enemy, the civil servant group, let alone others.
However, he probably didn't expect that boy Zhu Qizhen would destroy the imperial power's restraint on the civil servant group in one battle.
But having said that, even Zhang Fu could die in the Civil War. It is understandable that the Ming Dynasty military merits set the Mongolian head as the highest reward.
On May 26th, Gao Jingshi's birthday, the Annan Governor held the largest celebration event under Gao Jingshi's instructions to "not exceed the limit", which was no less than the "Da Viet Emperor Longevity Saint" before Gao Jingshi's southern expedition.
Festival" solemnity.
On this day, all the civil and military officials of the Annan Mo Dynasty gathered in Thang Long City. Early in the morning, they went to the Imperial Palace (Royal Palace) to pay homage to Mo Mao Chia. Then, under the leadership of Mo Mao Chia, they went there in a mighty manner after five days of urgent work.
In ten days, a rough Hoan Kiem Lake Villa has been built.
In the square outside the main entrance of the courtyard, Gao Jingshi met with Annan officials from the capital commander to the prefects of various regions to pay homage, and at the same time accepted the congratulatory gifts from Annan officials.
Then of course he delivered an important speech or something, which was nothing more than clichés like "shoulder to hand" and "one body and one heart", so I won't go into details one by one.
Finally, there is the banquet - in principle, it cannot be called a banquet, and Gao Pragmatic does not use this word, but it seems that the Annan people understand it this way.
Gao Pragmatic is not afraid of being criticized for this, because with his style, all nominal problems are handled properly, and there will never be any violations. As for the possibility of someone being involved in bullying his subordinates, wasting people's energy, etc., he has not yet
If it happened, he would think of a response first - this was to frighten Annan Xiaoxiao.
In short, no matter what, Gao Pangshi celebrated the most solemn birthday in his two lives. The whole Annan was equivalent to skipping the day to celebrate his birthday.
Not to mention that King Qian Mo Jingdian and King Ying Mo Dunrang, who were in power before the Mo Dynasty, did not enjoy such treatment. Even Zheng Jian, Zheng Song and his son who actually took control of the Li Dynasty did not enjoy such a big pomp.
However, one can also understand Mo Maoqia's thoughts - Gao Pragmatic has already made it clear that he will return north at the end of the month, which means he will leave after his birthday.
In this case, Mo Maoqia, the "Emperor of Dai Viet" who had quite the consciousness of "being a dog king", the commander-in-chief of Annan certainly did not hesitate to give him an extra face, and regarded it as a farewell to the Supreme Emperor on his return to the north.
Well, saying it was sent to the God of Plague might be the same thing, but it all means the same thing.
Three days later, Gao Pragmatic set out to return north.
The servant guard group, which has been diluted to only 2,000 people, serves as the personal bodyguard of the Chinese army. The Shenglong garrison mobilizes 10,000 soldiers and horses. The Jingxi garrison and the Haidong garrison each dispatch 3,000 elite wolf soldiers, all of which are fully charged.
Serve as a pragmatic escort force to escort Gao Jian from Taipei back to Guangxi.
By the way, Haidong garrison envoy Huang Zhiting also returned north with the army. The reason was to return to Guangxi to arrange for the native people to move south to "move the town."
Of course, she and Cen Ling could not both go back. One had to stay in Annan to take charge, so this time she returned to Guangxi first. After she returned to Annan, Cen Ling returned to Sicheng Prefecture to arrange the "move".
Here is a brief aside: The "relocation" of the two chieftains Cen and Huang was a major event that the imperial court attached great importance to. In order to ensure the success of the "relocation", the imperial court even showed a rare act of generosity and ordered to allocate 200,000 taels to Cen and Huang.
Two families as expenses for moving town.
A major event like moving a town is equivalent to a large-scale relocation of the entire government, army and people. Instead, they have to travel hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles away. After the 200,000 taels are divided equally between them, it will only be 100,000 taels. Is it enough or not?
.
Fortunately, this money was only an allocation from the central government, and the imperial court also ordered the local governments of Guangdong and Guangxi to cooperate closely to "meet what is needed and avoid shortages."
Guangxi couldn't come up with any spare money, and this money obviously fell on the unlucky Guangdong. Although Guangdong probably had no shortage of this money, you can still imagine Liu Yaojie's anger.
However, that is not an issue of high pragmatic concern. With the great success of pacifying Annan, Liu Yaojie will definitely not cause trouble for himself at this moment as long as his brain is not frightened.
Although Gao Jingshi is nominally a subordinate of him, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, things like suppressing subordinates also depend on the specific situation of the subordinates. The patrol censor has the right to supervise the governor, and his Gao Jingshi background is even more important.
It is a rare anomaly in the world that he has actually accomplished the task of destroying a country... What did Liu Yao teach him to do to suppress him?
On June 6, Gao Xunjian, who had been hurrying all the way, finally crossed Zhennanguan and entered Guangxi. The local chieftain in Pingxiangzhou hosted a banquet in honor of him, but Gao pragmatically only stayed there for one night and continued on the next day.
Returning north, we arrived at Mingjiang City, the capital of Siming Prefecture, two days later.
Since Huang Gongsheng's rebellion was put down, Siming Prefecture has actually been Huang Zhiting's direct descendant. This time when troops were sent south, the performance of Siming Prefecture's wolf soldiers was worthy of the word "direct descendant," especially the ones trained by Huang Gongsheng before.
Several hundred elite soldiers were assigned to Huang Hu's command and fought in several tough battles, which won Huang Hu's praise.
When I returned to Guangxi this time, Siming Prefecture was also the first state to move its town, and its location was also the best—Xuanfu Division, Anbang, which is rich in coal mines.
Anbang Xuanfu Division is the origin of the word "Haidong" for Huang Zhiting, the governor of Haidong, and it is also the place where she will be based in Annan.
Just like Cen Ling chose Xinghua Xuanfu Division as his home base, Huang Zhiting's final choice of Anbang was actually not the base place that Gao Pragmatic originally planned for them to choose. Originally, according to Gao Pragmatic's idea, Cen Ling might
would choose Thanh Hoa, while Huang Zhiting had better choose Son Nam and Wai Thanh Hoa - in this case, the land occupied by Jinghua would surround their territories from the north to the south.
Gao Pragmatic didn't think so to control them, but for the purpose of protection, because in this way, their territory would be connected with Jinghua, and they would all be close to the sea, which would help them concentrate their efforts in case something happens in the future.
.
But it turned out that all the chieftains in Guangxi were afraid of poverty. As a result, Cen Ling chose Xuanfusi, a large mining town in Xinghua, as the headquarters of the guardian of the west of Beijing, while Huang Zhiting also chose Anbang, located in the northeasternmost part of Annan, as the headquarters.
Later, Gao pragmatic thought about it and did not refuse, because in this way, although it seemed that the power was dispersed a little, the Communist Party of North Vietnam was only about the size of more than half of Guangxi. Where could it be dispersed further?
What's more, as long as nothing happens to the Thang Long garrison, the center of Vietnam will be under its control, which can effectively connect Xinghua and Anbang, ensuring that power can be concentrated at any time.
As for the three towns of Son Nam, Wai Thanh Hoa and Thanh Hoa to the south, they are not handed over to outsiders. They are still occupied by the two surnames of Cen and Huang. Even if we take a step back and say why they rebelled, Thang Long in the north is also
It is easy to gather the Thang Long Garrison and Cen Ling, Huang Zhiting's direct troops to go south to put down the rebellion.
To the south of Thanh Hoa, it is entirely the territory of Jinghua, with Ngai An in the far north and Ha Tinh, Jinghua’s military industrial town in Annam - this place was renamed by Gao Pangshi, because he felt that the name Ha Tinh was not only easy to pronounce.
, and the meaning is better.
Ha Tinh is the key business part of Beijing. It is an "industrial city" planned for Annam's firearms manufacturing. Not only are all the army's firearms produced here, but even the fleet's artillery is also provided by Ha Tinh, so it is bound to be here.
It is the key point where heavy troops gather.
Thanh Hoa, Wai Thanh Hoa and Son Nam are sandwiched between Thang Long and Ha Tinh. How brave do you have to be to dare to rebel?
Now Huang Zhiting has chosen Siming Prefecture as the first place controlled by the Huang family to move to. This is obviously to set an example. Gao Pragmatic is also very concerned about this matter and plans to stay in Mingjiang City for a few days.
He is here to help sit in charge - he is now a well-known person in Gao Press Platform. Regardless of whether he can actually fight, there is no doubt that he is at least famous. With him sitting here, Siming Prefecture may have trouble.
The chance of chaos is reduced to a minimum.
However, after some inventory, Gao Pragmatic was secretly worried.
Because the population of the entire Siming Prefecture is less than 400,000, about 3.78 million, and although Siming Prefecture is the strongest state in Siming Prefecture (except for the areas directly under the prefecture), the population is only about 80,000
.
Although the population of Annam was only about five million at this time, according to Gao Pingshi's understanding, the total population of An Bang Xuan Phu Division was nearly 300,000 - not including the black households (pirates, etc.) near Halong Bay.
This... 80,000 versus 300,000, even if you go, it seems hard to say whether you can gain the upper hand.
Huang Zhiting was very confident and said disdainfully: "The Annan people are afraid of being beaten. Now that Jinghua is in town, they don't dare to do anything. Besides, there are a lot of fields confiscated before, and they are all good land, which is enough to cover the land of Mingzhou."
People are farming. Besides, I personally went to Anbang a few days ago and saw that there are still many places that can be cultivated - the people of Annan are really lazy. If those wastelands were placed in Guangxi, they would all be cultivated fields, but they are too lazy to cultivate them!"
Gao Pragmatic laughed. Annan natives tended to be lazy. He had known this for a long time. Even in later generations, it seems that the more Vietnamese people tend to be of Chinese descent, the more diligent they are. The reason is unknown, maybe it is an education problem - whoever cares.
"I have an idea that can increase your number of people. Well...this method will also be implemented in Haiyang Xuanfu Division controlled by Jinghua. Do you want to listen?"
Huang Zhiting asked: "Is that the joint production contract responsibility system?"
"That's one aspect, and there's another aspect related to household registration."
Huang Zhiting was a little surprised and asked: "If you want to listen, tell me quickly!"
