Weng Wanda had to wait until late March to arrive in Guangdong. Although the emperor's order was much faster, it also needed to arrive at Cat Ba Island at the end of March or even early April - there was no express delivery system outside the sea.
From the Spring Festival to now, Yan Shifan and Wang Xueyi are in a state of tension.
Will Mo Dengyong take desperate risks?
The Ming Dynasty could make him an envoy, but Mo's new dynasty could only occupy half of the original Jiaozhi. Although it was the richer northern Vietnam, it had to give up the three prefectures in the north and the southern part of Jiaozhi. This was not
Mo Dengyong’s expectations.
And now, Zhao Jun is leading the main force of the navy to the south to pursue the barbarian bandits who were not in Thanh Hoa that day and escaped. On Cat Ba Island, only three warships worth 300 pieces of fuel were left behind just in case.
Zhu Houcong's decree had not yet arrived at Cat Ba Island, and Yan Shifan was enjoying his misery: "It must be very lively in the capital now, right? I don't know who won the top prize in the new subject."
With the general examination in February and the palace examination in March, the capital was naturally lively. Yan Shifan could only imagine it.
Wang Xueyi could only worry: "There's no news from Shenglong yet?"
Although he is the diplomatic envoy, no wonder he asked this question. Among the establishment of the diplomatic embassy, it is the guardsmen who have the communication channels with the intelligence network established by the foreign inspection factory.
Now, the two of them need to see whether Mo Dengyong will end the encirclement and suppression of Ruan Gan and let Ruan Gan take Li Weining to Cat Ba Island to participate in the Cochin Affairs Negotiation Conference.
This means that he does not accept Ming's opinion on how to deal with the current situation in Cochin.
Although the Ming Dynasty's general policy has long been set, it must not be too hasty to go through the process of petitioning His Majesty for the Holy Judgment. On the one hand, it is to show that the Ming Dynasty has no intention to interfere in the internal affairs of Jiaozhi, and on the other hand, it is also to allow
Mo Dengyong and Ruan Gan had sufficient time to react.
The current situation is very clear: Mo Dengyong’s enemy has become Ming Dynasty.
It was the Ming Dynasty that set out the conditions for canonizing him: he could only be canonized as a military envoy, he could only occupy half of Jiaozhi, and he must be sincere in surrendering the three palaces of Lang Son and Cat Ba Island to obtain the canonization.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not participate in the war on the surface, it first allowed him to quell the war in Jiaozhi. He not only prevented the Ming Dynasty but also stepped up his efforts to suppress the rebellion, which resulted in the emptiness in the south. Then, a group of Western barbarian mercenaries happened to appear. Finally, he helped the people of Jiaozhi to expel the people.
The foreign enemy is still the Ming Dynasty King.
It was the Ming Dynasty that still remembered the respect paid to the Li family in the past and its responsibility as the suzerain of the vassal state, and wanted to give the south of Thanh Hoa to the Li family to have a place to settle down.
Daming is helping Ruan Gan, but Daming is Mo Dengyong's enemy. Can he be willing to give in?
It stands to reason that Yan Shifan and Wang Xueyi should have known that Qu Zhinan and Chen Bing were stationed in the north of Langshan Sanfu and Zhao Jun's warships were patrolling the Jiaozhi Sea.
However, since the Spring Festival, Jiaozhi has entered a very tense state of martial law, and very little news can be spread, let alone news about Mok Dengyong from Thanglong.
At this moment, around Thang Long, there is actually a bloody suppression operation.
In the past six months, Mo Dengyong has become a lot more haggard.
Especially since I heard about the attack on Thanh Hoa in the twelfth lunar month of last year.
In the first month of the first month, after Nguyen Van Thai sent back Ming Dynasty's new message from Cat Ba Island, Mok Thein Dung stayed in the palace in Thang Long City without sleeping for three days and three nights, and finally made a decision.
Now in the palace, kneeling in front of him was his son Mo Dengying.
Neither of them spoke.
After a while, the general of their Mo family, Grand Master Lin Guogong Mo Guozhen, walked in from outside the hall, carrying three cloth packages in his hand.
There is blood on the bottom of these cloth wrappers. Normally, they should be disposed of properly so as not to stain the floor of the hall, but where can I care about so much now?
"Your Majesty, I am here to return my orders!"
Mordengying looked at the three human heads in the opened package. Everyone was staring blankly, either in horror or anger.
Mo Dengyong just looked at it silently, and then said: "How many are left?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there are six more families. In three more days, the matter will be completed."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Thank you for your hard work. Please retire!"
After Mo Guojian left the hall, Mo Dengyong stood up slowly, walked to the three heads and looked down.
Mo Dengying saw his father's expression gradually change, his eyes gradually turning red, and finally he shed tears.
"You have to remember," Mo Dengyong said, "Don't keep anyone who is too loyal to Jiaozhi or too close to the Ming Dynasty. Those who can stay must be loyal to you and not embarrass you. At least in the Ming Dynasty.
This must be done before the emperor dies, before the evidence comes to us that his son is insane, and before the Ming Dynasty himself gets into trouble!"
The hero of the generation seemed to be entrusting him with something, and Morden Ying cried out in fear: "Father..."
"I won't die yet, I'm just going to take on this infamy and give my seat to you!" Mo Dengyong said sadly, "It's okay, people like Li Yi, many people still think about Li Chao.
, drive them to the south. In this case, there will be no rebels in the family. Take a good rest and wait! If Ruan Gan is still unwilling, then cry to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. You must love the people like your own children and let them remember the Mo family.
That's good. You have to be frugal and let the people know that the taxes they pay are to pay the tribute to the Ming Dynasty..."
Mo Dengyong is not preparing to take desperate risks. A hero like him who can successfully usurp the government can see through many things.
Even if it were not the current Zhu Houcong, facing the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Daojun, he finally chose to give back some of the land occupied by Jiaozhi, presented the household registration list, and changed it to the canonization of the Metropolitan Commander. In the end, he only occupied the north of Jiaozhi.
.
Nowadays, the pressure is even greater, so we can only think about it in the long term.
But he is getting older, and he is just worried that his son and grandson will not know what to do in the future.
Seeing his son's uneasy expression, Mo Dengyong could only let out a long sigh.
How unfortunate it is that such a powerful neighbor to the north has given birth to such an emperor...
Among those who have the same feeling as Mo Dengyong is An Da.
After a winter, the snow on the grasslands has almost melted away, and the grass is sprouting.
He waited for the news and said softly: "Okay, okay, okay!"
Gunbilik said that the remnants of the Oara tribe in Qinghai and the west still need to be sorted out, and they should not take care of the Tumut side. Besides, although the southerners are more difficult to deal with than in previous years, how can you let them
Did they hit the side wall?
Calling Sun, he said that the Chahar tribe had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and now they could not make the decision for him, so they would rush southward again.
Some generals of the Chahar tribe who had received his "life-saving grace" in the past said: The Great Khan was also kind to them...
An Da, who was twenty-five years old, said "Okay" and then looked at the generals and ministers in front of him.
"Among the descendants of Dayan Khan, I am the only one who still remembers that the people of Changshengtian have only one real enemy, and that is the Han people. Now the leaders of each tribe do not have the strength, talent, and ability to make the other party surrender.
nothing!"
"They don't obey me either! Although I am also a descendant of Genghis Khan, because I was not born to inherit the position of Great Khan, and because I am young, they don't obey me either!"
Ida clenched his fists, his eyes full of resentment: "If I surrender to Jinong and the Khan Court, and listen to them, who can make good use of me? Who can push back the momentum of the Han people?"
"No! Khan, no one is more brave, more talented, and more prestigious than you!" Man Shoutu shouted excitedly, "I messed up, and Khan just said that the Han people have been ready for this.
After a battle, we can see the situation clearly. Who can be more thoughtful than you? Khan, since you can't wait any longer, just do it!"
Ida was silent for a while, and said quietly: "I originally wanted to do my best to recuperate in Fengzhou Beach, and use the Yellow Sect to gradually unite the hearts of the people in the grassland. I want to use the Tumote tribe as the foundation, and one day I can fight back into our past.
However, Jinong is wary of my younger brother, and the Great Khan is wary of my uncle. They have no ambitions, do not help me, and suppress our Tumut tribe. Now, only our Tumut tribe has to bear the consequences of the Han people.
attack."
"The emperor of the Han people understands the power of Khan better than them."
Amid their anger, I stared at them: "For the sake of the Tumote tribe, and for the sake of all the people of Changshengtian, I will give up Fengzhou Beach!"
"I want to give up Fengzhoutan and let Ordos and Yongxiebu clearly realize what kind of Ming Dynasty has become!"
"I want to become the Lord of the Khan Court and come to save my people!"
"If we want to succeed, we can only mobilize our entire clan to attack them unprepared, leaving them to die and survive!"
"With shackles and suspicion, how can we become victors?"
"I don't want that false reputation anymore! I, you, want to be the winner! Standing in the palace built by the Han people in Dadu in the future, you are the real heroes of the grassland!"
Under An Da's constant instigation, "kill" was shouted out in the camp.
"We are in the far south! Our cattle, sheep and horses can be fed first." Ada took out his saber and cut his palm, "Then we will kill the Khan's court with our whole family!"
The sound of the knife being unsheathed was endless.
The Tumut tribe closest to Datong was the first and most profound to feel the blade of Ming Senhan. After these three months of reflection and deliberation, there was only one road left in front of them.
Only by becoming the true king of the grassland can the Tumut tribe and the people on the grassland not eventually perish.
The only one who can lead them through this road is their current king.
In the spring of the 11th year of Jiajing, just a little while after the battle of Tucheng, I finally decided to abandon Fengzhou Beach.
After he sheds his blood, whether he will be a sinner or a hero in the future depends on whether he can succeed.
The Tumut tribe is preparing to migrate to the northeast. Under the Ming Dynasty's northward march, countless small tribes will definitely be wiped out. They will definitely hate me first, and the grassland tribes will definitely face a bigger Ming Dynasty.
However, the soul of the grassland has not been lost, and the grassland will surely gather together under the banner of Anda.
At this moment, I firmly believe this.
Sun was just a young boy when I came back, and Gunbilik was already old.
One day at the end of March, an exhausted man leaned on his horse and arrived at Tucheng, which was once again a little bigger.
His appearance and clothing are no different from those of a Tatar.
But under the arrows and gun barrels of the defenders, he slipped away and took out a sign with difficulty: "Military... Military Information... I want to see... see the General Soldier..."
Yu Dayou, who had been granted the title of Han Haibo, was already ranked under Li Quanli and was the commander-in-chief of Datong Town.
He was not here, so it took the Tucheng garrison some time to figure out that it was a badge from the Foreign Inspectorate, and he quickly reported to Datong.
If there was any military information, the man refused to tell.
When he was sent to Datong and met Yu Dayou, he still refused to tell. This was simply because Yu Dayou was at a high enough level to know who was the person in charge of Xuanda University in the north of the Foreign Inspectorate Factory.
When this person was also found, he learned a piece of news that shocked him extremely, and then quickly spread it to the capital as quickly as possible.
Be in a hurry!
How to make a decision? He is not qualified, and neither are Yu Dayou and Li Quanli. This is a matter that affects the whole body.
What he could tell Yu Dayou and Li Quanli was to prepare for the expedition first.
But where to fight, or even whether to go out to fight, we have to wait for the decision of His Majesty and the Military Affairs Council.
On the third day of April, the news reached the capital.
Zhu Houcong was walking around in the imperial study, waiting for Xia Yan, Zhang Fujing and Yang Shen to come over.
After walking a few steps, he looked at the map again.
Not long after, Xia Yan and others finally arrived here.
"Even if we only order the Xuan cavalry to come out of the border wall, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop the Anda family, and they will be more likely to be defeated." Zhu Houcong first expressed his judgment, "They haven't set off yet, but I'm afraid it will happen within this month.
It must not have led the Ming Dynasty to pursue him. This is the only way he can go. I didn’t expect him to be so desperate!"
What the Foreign Inspectorate worked hard to send back was the unusual behavior of the Tumote Department.
After sacrificing the two of them to investigate hard, they basically pieced together the information that only the top leaders of the Tumote Department know so far: Anda decided to abandon Fengzhou Beach and go directly to the Khan Court first, and then seize the Khan position with the whole clan.
"Since the Foreign Inspectorate sacrificed two people to obtain the information, I must have known it." Xia Yan said without hesitation, "Although his trip to the north was like a tiger entering a deep forest, he was in such a hurry that there was no time to intercept him.
They. Your Majesty, I think that we should wait for him to go north, and just march and naturalize first. Let him and the Khan court be killed first, and their vitality will be severely damaged. This is a good opportunity to make a comeback!"
Yang Shen just wanted to wail, but he had to admit that when this opportunity came, shouldn't Ming desperately seize it?
Money and food!
This time, we are not just pushing a few dozen miles north. If we seize this opportunity, it is possible to force the Tatars back to the area around the Khan Court.
Such a huge operation can only be decided by the imperial court based on the situation of troops, food and grass conditions, and the situation brought about by the new pasture vacuum outside the border wall.
It even included whether to capture Guihua first or wait for Gunbilic to pass by first and disperse his troops.
Li Quanli and Yu Dayou did not wait for the military order quickly, which made it even more obvious that this move was huge and they needed to find the most beneficial strategy for the Ming Dynasty.
In late April, the Ming Dynasty's sealing ship slowly sailed into the harbor of Cat Ba Island, while Zhao Jun's navy was waiting for the Guangdong Coastal Defense Road and Huangmingji Sea Trade at Hunguo Island, southeast of Donghai City at the southernmost tip of Cochin.
The sailing warships came to meet up and prepare to send troops to Malacca.
On the grassland, I looked to the southeast under the big banner, and then waved my machete toward the northeast: "Bring out camp!"
The history of the north and south of the Ming Dynasty officially turned a corner this spring.
