Chapter 1216
On the fifth day when Liu Xin's troops were stationed in Phnom Penh, Ruan Huang had already led more than 1 Dingnan garrison troops and 8000 Kampong Chhnang Cambodian soldiers after the preliminary reorganization. A total of [-] troops rushed to the .

Originally, after Musali left Kung Ching Yang, there were as many as [-] defenders in Kung Chingyang. According to the standards of Ruan Huang’s early years in Annan, at least [-] of these people could still continue. Army.

However, Ruan Huang has now completely surrendered to Jinghua, and he is the first person to be in charge of the Jinghua garrison with An Nan's general. His selection criteria have been improved a lot.If selected according to his current standards, only a fraction of the 3000 people may be retained-3000 people.However, the current situation is still relatively sensitive, and such a harsh reorganization must not be carried out, so he finally retained 8000 people.

He only left a very small amount of troops for Angkor, and he led the army to Phnom Penh. Naturally, he had important things. This important thing was to prepare to divide Cambodia according to Huang Zhiting's intention.

In fact, at this time, Huang Zhiting's letter has not yet reached the hands of Gao pragmatic, whether this matter is successful or not is still in the middle, but Huang Zhiting thinks that even if the husband does not fully agree, he must have a "sixteen rules" in Cambodia. , "Nineteen points" came out, Ruan Huang's department rushed to Phnom Penh, which will definitely make this matter more smoothly.

Moreover, the reorganization of the Musali department also requires the cooperation of Ruan Huang's department to exert pressure, otherwise even if Liu Xin has the ability to suppress it, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be tied.

After all, in Huang Zhiting's opinion, even if the Kingdom of Cambodia is still retained, it will definitely not need so many troops. When the military force of the Kingdom of Cambodia will become the "Phnom Penh Garrison" like the rest of the countries in the future, the original force of at least [-] or more is at least the minimum. It will be cut in half, and it is likely to only maintain about [-].And this will definitely cut down the troops in the hands of Musali, and Ruan Huang's troops marched into Phnom Penh just to be safe.

Liu Xin's 3 plus Ruan Huang's [-] is equivalent to [-] garrison troops, [-] Japanese soldiers, and [-] Cambodian troops, which is enough to deter the Musali and Phnom Penh garrison troops.

In fact, things went smoother than Huang Zhiting expected. When Ruan Huang arrived, Liu Xin had basically completed the reorganization of the Cambodian Royal Forest Army - well, maybe it is more appropriate to call it cleaning.

Under the identification of Musali, the hard-liners in the Cambodian Royal Forest Army, the royal family, foreign relatives and other unstable factors were all identified. Liu Xin ordered the execution of five secretly connected officers on the spot, including one royal family, two The relatives and two generals in command of the army then "packaged" the rest and sent them to Dingnan, waiting for Huang Zhiting to deal with them in person.

Then, the Cambodian Royal Forest Army immediately ushered in the reorganization.

The nature of the duties of the Cambodian Royal Forest Army is more like the Jingying in the Ming Dynasty, but its internal personnel situation is more similar to Jinyiwei.

The Cambodian royal family has a long history, and there are many people with royal blood in the country. Although most of them are very alienated from the blood of the king himself, there are still many royal descendants in the Royal Forest Army, and even among ordinary soldiers, many people have royal blood. .

Liu Xin will definitely not let them stay in the army now, so the royal bloodline has changed from a bonus point in the past to a deduction item now, and it's still a one-vote veto point deduction.

Thanks to the many soldiers of the original royal blood in the Royal Forest Army, the quality of the soldiers in the Royal Forest Army is better than that of the Kung Ching Yang defenders. At least in terms of physique, the Royal Forest Army has obvious advantages.

After such a cleansing, only 3000 of the original 3000 Imperial Forest Army remained, and since Liu Xin had no right to dispatch people from the garrison to control these 3000 people, these [-] people were not allocated weapons and remained stationed. Waiting for follow-up arrangements in the barracks.

Originally, Musali thought that those who had been eliminated from the Imperial Forest Army were all "unstable factors", so he suggested that Liu Xin simply cut the weeds and kill all these people, but Liu Xin disagreed, only saying "there are other arrangements. ".

Musali was a little worried about this. He was afraid that Liu Xin was a woman after all, and might be a little soft-hearted in killing people, and he also knew that killing prisoners was an ominous thing in the eyes of the Han people.

However, his worries did not last long, because just the next day, Liu Xin announced the decision to dispose of this group of people: to be sent to Priango to participate in the port construction for "redemption".

Puliang is the name of Cambodians at this time. This place is actually Saigon in later generations, which is Ho Chi Minh City after the end of the Vietnam Civil War in the original history.The specific location of the later Ho Chi Minh City is in the northeast of the Mekong Delta, on the right bank of the Saigon River, a tributary of the Tongnai River, 80 kilometers away from the sea and an area of ​​2090 square kilometers.

However, the meaning of the current "Puriango" is broader, and it is a general term for a region including Ho Chi Minh City.In the previous planning, Gao Wushi listed this place as a place where a city needs to be built in the future - because the current ancient city of Puliango is not very big, in fact, it is at most the level of a county in the Ming Dynasty, or even far away. It is not as good as the high and pragmatic hometown of Xinzheng County.

However, Saigon in the original history was formed spontaneously first, and Gao Yushi believed that Ho Chi Minh City’s position in later generations did not satisfy him—mainly because it was too far away from the port, 160 miles (80 kilometers), although there was a Saigon River Classic, but still not a pure port city.

Jinghua's habit has always been to give priority to the development of port cities. This is determined by Jinghua's strategic situation. Therefore, when it comes to the construction of a new city in Puliang, Gao pragmatic also adheres to this principle, and the location of the city given is actually for later generations. The location south of Ho Chi Minh City facing the sea, this place is called "Egon" in later generations, belongs to Qian Giang Province, and is located in the middle of the estuaries of the Mekong River and the Saigon River.

Of course, since Gao Pragmatist has never been to the local area and does not know the specific topography and landforms of the local area, the scope he has drawn is still relatively large, giving the southern Xinjiang a greater choice, so as not to build a big city in a place where it is inconvenient to build a large city. Local waste of resources.

At this time, Musali knew Liu Xin's intentions. It's hard to say whether she is soft-hearted, but she must be very good at using waste.It's just that Musali didn't know that this method of handling was not new to Jinghua. Gao Wushi did this at the beginning, and Liu Xin was actually Xiao Gui and Cao Sui.

After Ruan Huang arrived in Phnom Penh, Musali had a hunch, knowing that his troops were now a hot potato, but he didn't dare to hand over power easily, for fear that Jinghua would come and kill the donkey.

In his opinion, this possibility completely exists, because he has a high prestige in the Cambodian military, and now he has cleaned many political enemies of the Cambodian army and even the Kingdom of Cambodia through Liu Xin's hands. In other words: he himself It became more obvious, and it stood out from the crowd.

The principle of shooting the first bird with a gun is universal. Now, he is the only strongman left in Cambodia's military and politics. If Jinghua thinks that someone will threaten its rule, then this person must be Tamusali.

In the end, do you want to hold a strong army as the foundation of your life, or do you honestly hand over power and gamble on the arrogance of Jinghua or Gao Gongbao?
This topic was difficult for Musali, because he had never even met Gao Pragmatist, and just based on rumors, he believed that Gao Pragmatism was a person of "elegance and elegance".

So Ruan Huang appeared, and Ruan Huang was really "courageous". He went to Musali's camp in Phnom Penh alone, met with Musali, and talked for most of the night. Sent back to camp.

The next day, Musali took a group of generals to the "Suokongtuo Courtyard" next to the Grand Palace to ask to see Liu Xin, and in front of Liu Xin handed over half of the tiger talisman symbolizing military power (the other side was originally kept in the Grand Palace and has been Confiscated by Liu Xin), and all the generals under his command also handed over the Dayin customs defense given by Gita I to show their military power.

Liu Xin comforted them with satisfaction, and then in front of them ordered her subordinates to take out the orders Huang Zhiting had prepared earlier, took out three orders from a box, and picked one to announce.

The three orders were seen by Musali and the others with their own eyes, and they were startled at the time - this was obviously prepared in advance for three kinds of decisions to deal with them, and which one to choose is up to Liu Xin based on the actual situation to decide.

The decision that Liu Xin has chosen now seems to be the best for them: Musali went to Dingnan City to report to Dingnan City after he handed over his military power. ——All of them are deputies, but the overall level has been improved by half.

The order even made it clear that raising half a rank is a reward for them to take the initiative to hand over power, and "all serving as deputy" is because the combat mode of the garrison is different from that of the backward Cambodian army. They need to learn and become familiar with the garrison system before it is possible. "Correct".

Such a clear statement made them feel at ease. Although it did not completely erase the worries of "rising and falling" in their minds, at least it seemed reasonable-they had also witnessed the artillery attack outside Phnom Penh that day. , ask themselves that they will not command artillery battles, let alone artillery battles, even if the bayonet formations and musket battle lines of the garrison should be changed and used, they have no idea at all.

Speaking of which, it is Musali himself who is the most unreasonable right now. Although his disposition clearly stated that he was "reused for other purposes", he first needed to go to Dingnan in person, which always seemed to mean "teaching the tiger away from the mountain".

However, Ruan Huang nodded at him with a calm expression on the side, as if to comfort him "it's all right, don't worry", it's hard to say whether Musali is "reassured", but the matter is now, it's definitely too late to regret it, so he simply He expressed his willingness to "set off today" to visit his wife in Dingnan City.

I don't know since when, most of the people who used to call Huang Zhiting "Huang Fu Dutong" have now changed their name to "Mrs." Maybe it's because the generals of the Jinghua Department are all pragmatic and pragmatic servants?Anyway, Musali didn't think much about it, he just followed suit, he just felt that it seemed to be closer, and it was in line with the appearance he should try to show now.

Liu Xin didn't correct it either, but still advised him not to be in such a hurry, because the next step was to reorganize the army he was under—oh, he was originally under—and it would definitely be better if he cooperated with him.

Musali is also a bachelor. Anyway, he has reached this stage. In the future, whether he is dead or alive, whether he is high or low, depends on how much "magnificence" Gao Gongbao and his wife have. Cooperate from the side and cooperate from the side, and behave honestly. These may still leave a good impression on people, and strive for a "lenient release".

The reorganization of Phnom Penh was basically completed in just over ten days due to the gathering of the Jinghua army and the full support of Musali. It's "mixed with sand", this one has to wait for Huang Zhiting's unified dispatch, and there is no confirmation for the time being.

Musali bids farewell to Liu Xin and Ruan Huang, and embarks on a trip to Dingnan City with an uncertain future.

However, before he arrived at Dingnan City, he first learned a piece of news, which made him feel that his "other appointment" would have to wait for a while.

This news is good news, but it is for Jinghua: Huang Zhi Ting gave birth to a son on February [-]th.

On the following road, Musali was feeling the rule of Jinghua all the way - the crowd along the way seemed to be celebrating the new year, celebrating Mrs. Gao's smooth delivery and the birth of the little son.

What makes Musari more difficult to understand is that in addition to those Han people celebrating, many Siamese natives also participated in the celebration with smiles on their faces.

Musali shouted in his heart: What is the matter of Gao Jiatianding to you Siamese, why are you happy?

Later, he sent his entourage to find out that the Siamese had a reason to celebrate.

Just after Huang Zhi Ting gave birth smoothly and the four female doctors jointly announced that the mother and child were safe, the Siamese royal family, who had almost completely retreated behind the scenes, suddenly jumped out and spread the word to the whole country, publicly announcing: To celebrate Gao Gongbao and Mrs. Gao's happy son, Siam Luo Nationwide is exempted from payment for one year.

This tax exemption means that all taxes and miscellaneous taxes are completely exempted, which means that Siamese people do not have to pay any taxes for a year. As soon as the news comes out, of course, the whole country celebrates and celebrates, and the Siamese are happy because of this. come.

Musali suddenly realized something, and then he felt that something was wrong-wait a minute, why was this news announced by the Siamese royal family?

After all, Musali was once a high-level executive of a country, and he soon discovered the tricky part in it: after the end of the Siam Rebellion War, the actual ruler of Siam is not the royal family at all, but Jinghua.In other words, Huang Zhiting, who was entrusted by Gao pragmatism and sat in the south, is actually equivalent to the regent. All Siamese decrees should be issued from her hands, but she has just given birth, and it is impossible for her to celebrate herself. such a command.

So in other words, this "king's life" was created by the Siamese royal family by skipping Jinghua, but Jinghua didn't know why they didn't stop it - Huang Zhiting might not be able to stop it after giving birth to a child, but Gao Mengnan and others have this completely. Ability can stop it, why not stop it?

The purpose of the Siamese royal family is too obvious. It is to compete with Jinghua for popularity, and it is not only popular. Since all power in Siam is now in the hands of Jinghua, the Siamese royal family's exemption order should continue to be implemented. Isn't Jinghua going to suffer a lot financially?
Why is no one blocking it?
Musali really couldn't figure it out.
