Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1373 The South Chase Storm (卌[-]) Southern Border Episode
Jing Shizhao returned to Jinggongfang, Shangshu Gaofu.

Gao Wushi had just returned home, when he walked downstairs to Guanhai Building where he usually lived, he seemed to feel someone was watching him.He looked up and saw that it was indeed Liu Xin who poked her head out of the window on the second floor and was watching Gao Wushi approaching. Seeing Gao Wushi looking up at her, she smiled sweetly, without the shyness of an ordinary woman at all.

Gao Pragmatism doesn't feel a smile, and walks with every step.As soon as he went upstairs, before he had time to ask Liu Xin why he was here, Liu Xin spoke first: "It seems that Da Situ has a happy event today?"

When others called Gao Yushi "Big Situ", it sounded very respectful or polite, but when it came from Liu Xin, Gao Yushi always felt a little bit of a joke.

Gao Pragmatism appreciates this unique style, and this kind of tone that is different from ordinary people makes him feel very kind.However, regarding Liu Xin's words, he slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you know?"

"Didn't Teacher Gao say that people's thoughts are always hidden inadvertently, or from the eyes, or from the gait, or from the manner, etc., you can always observe something." Liu Xin said with a smile: "My student Although he is not smart, he has a good attitude towards learning."

Gao Pragmatism just dragged his tone and said "Oh", obviously with a rhetorical question.

"Why, Teacher Gao doesn't believe it?" Liu Xin giggled, stood up, walked in front of Gao Yushi, walked around him in small steps deliberately slowing down, and at the same time looked him up and down. Fan, then said: "Since you said this, Mr. Gao, I have been observing you very attentively during this period of time, your eyes, your gait, your habits and behavior, etc..."

"That's really difficult for you." Gao Wushi laughed and asked, "Then what conclusion did you draw, or what experience did you have?"

Liu Xin pouted slightly: "Well, this thing is really indescribable, but no matter what, I can detect the difference between you today and usual."

Gao Wushi was a little surprised, even suspicious, and said, "Really? I asked myself that I have been serious about learning 'emotions and anger are not visible' all these years. How could you detect any abnormalities?"

Liu Xin laughed and said, "It turns out that the invisibility of emotions is also learned?"

Gao Yushi took it for granted: "That's natural. Is there anyone in this world who can't show emotions? If there is, it's probably a facial paralysis."

Liu Xin couldn't help laughing, and burst into a "puchi" laugh, and then held back her smile and explained: "Okay, okay, I noticed the difference from your footsteps."

"Oh?" Gao Yushi was dubious.

Although Liu Xin still had a smile on her face, she put away her joking intentions and said, "Your usual steps are neither fast nor slow, and quite steady, even a bit like a martial arts practitioner. Today is a little different, it has become a little lighter. You are returning home from a lower duty, not from a brothel, apart from some good news from the imperial court, what other explanations can you give?"

Gao Wushi laughed: "If you observe me so intently, you are not afraid of my misunderstanding?" The implication is that Liu Xin's words are reasonable.

"Misunderstanding?" Liu Xin was not born and raised in the era of Daming, and she was not shy when she heard the words. Instead, she tilted her head and asked provocatively: "Even if you have a misunderstanding, so what?"

"Uh..." Now it was Gao Pragmatic's turn to be at a loss for words, but he was not slow to react, and quickly replied, "Ah, that's quite serious."

"Really?" Liu Xin seemed to have guessed what Gao Wushi was going to say, but she said first, "You won't kill me for this, will you?"

Gao Wushi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not crazy, why kill you? But it may scare you more than killing you."

"If you said...that kind of thing." Liu Xin coughed lightly, although her eyes were a little dodged, her tone was quite calm: "How do you know that I will be afraid?"

"Huh?" Gao Wushi was really taken aback.

"Anyway, you're just talking at most." Liu Xin pursed her lips and said, "With your power and wealth, what kind of woman can't you want? Even the women in the palace..."

"Shut up, you!" Gao Wushi was taken aback, quickly covered her mouth, and stared, "Are you trying to kill me?"

Liu Xin was covered by him, she shouldn't be able to see any expression, but her eyes turned into two crescent moons, Gao Wushi didn't know her expression now, so he couldn't help letting go of her hand angrily, and said at the same time: " That thing...was different, it was complicated anyway."

Liu Xin didn't seem to think that it was a big deal for him to cover her mouth, and she didn't care about this action. Instead, she laughed as soon as he let go of his hand, and after he finished speaking, she said, "So you also know that it's a capital crime. Yeah? But don't worry, as long as there is no evidence to be made public and the troubles are known to everyone in the world, your emperor's uncle will definitely not admit it, let alone kill you."

Gao Wushi saw that her words became more and more explicit, so she couldn't help but subconsciously glanced left and right, but Liu Xin said, "Don't look, the people in the black top are also retreating quite far, as long as you don't call for help, even if I call for help They won't come either." He blinked deliberately as he spoke.

Gao Wushi glared at her angrily, and said, "Don't you trust me a little too much? Don't be afraid that my brain will suddenly become hot, and I will really do something?"

Liu Xin shook her head: "Not afraid."

Gao Wushi was really surprised. After thinking about it seriously, he joked again: "Could it be that you are too arrogant to belittle yourself and underestimate your own appearance?"

"That's not true." Liu Xin continued to shake her head, and then said: "There is something you may not know."

"what's up?"

"Girlfriends often talk about everything." Liu Xin raised her eyebrows and looked at Gao Yushi with a smile.

Gao Pragmatic sensed that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "For example?"

"The relationship between Mrs. Zun and I should be called best friends. You should have known this for a long time." Liu Xin tilted her head and asked.

"I guessed it, otherwise you wouldn't have cared so much about the Fourth Princess."

"Sure enough, he is the most intelligent person in the world." Liu Xin giggled, "So there are many things that Mrs. Zun has told me."

"For example?"

"For example, 'Lifeng looks so beautiful from a distance, but it's hard to write the wonderful fairy music on the wall'." Liu Xin blinked: "Do you want me to tell you more details?"

"It seems that Zhiting did tell you a lot, but..." Gao Wushi shook his head: "I still think you are lying to me."

Liu Xin rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Okay, then let me ask another question to prove it: Did you see it in the deep pool that night?"

"Damn!" Gao Wushi's eyes widened: "She even told you this?"

Liu Xin was still smiling, "comforting" Gao Wushi and said, "You are so smart, you must be able to figure out why she did this, right?"

These words are a bit weird, Gao Wushi really followed these words to think, and after a while, his expression also became a little weird.

Liu Xin's expression was normal, she even shrugged her shoulders and said, "It seems that you have figured it out?"

Gao Wushi looked a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry about this."

"There's nothing to be sorry about." Liu Xin curled her lips: "She didn't know much about me at that time, but she hoped that I could help her, so naturally she had to act sincerely. According to her thinking, if she didn't Saying things that cannot be said to outsiders, how can I trust her, be willing to work for her, and even... get on me. "

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "I didn't even know she had this... method."

"Men always think they know women well, especially a woman like her who is willing to give everything for you."

Liu Xin seemed to be a little emotional. She paused for a while before continuing: "But in fact, this kind of thinking will blind you. She may not understand anything in front of you, and she needs your advice to do everything well, but you don't You will know how much ability she has hidden for you and how much she has changed her mind for you."

Gao Yushi didn't refute, or even answer.

Liu Xin sighed: "How can a girl who is in charge of the government at a young age and leads the chieftain clan of the Huang clan in southern Guangxi be so innocent? Whether she is innocent or naive, it's just left to you. Just say Now, the only person in southern Xinjiang who can grin at her without being punished... is Gao Yuan."

Well, of course Gao Yuan won't, that's her baby son.

Gao Wushi nodded, but did not speak, and asked after a while: "Why did you suddenly talk to me about this today? Zhiting... what is she going to do?"

"Amazing, amazing." Liu Xin laughed: "There are rumors outside that Gao Longwen can spy on people's hearts. It seems that he has some skills... Well, something happened in southern Xinjiang recently. It is said that the Portuguese Governor of Malacca sent a letter to Huangdu Commander, ask her what Siam intends to gather a large army in southern Siam."

Gao Wushi focused his eyes, frowned and said, "Is this true or not?"

"You mean to gather an army in southern Siam?" Liu Xin asked.

"nature."

"It's true." Liu Xin spread her hands and said, "At present, in addition to your nephew Gao Ruichu, the inspector of Sinan, and the army under the command of Cambodia's surrendered general and Sinan guardian Mu Sally, there are also other troops assembled in Sinan. There are 2 Dingnan garrison troops."

Good guy, Siam originally had two troops, the 2th Division of the Dingnan Garrison Army and the Siam Independent Garrison Division, with an army of up to [-].Now an additional [-] people of the Dingnan Garrison have been released, which is [-] troops.This force is stronger than when Huang Zhiting swept half of Myanmar's country before.

Gao Wushi narrowed his eyes: "Dingnan City has not been completed yet, and Zhiting wants to use troops against the countries of the Malay Peninsula?"

"What if I tell you again that the [-] Dingnan garrison troops are just for show?"

Gao Wushi really frowned immediately: "What do you mean?"

"It literally means that the so-called 1000 Dingnan garrison actually only has more than [-] people—their role is to pretend to have more than [-] people."

Gao Wushi fell silent, thought carefully for a while, and then asked: "Then her real goal is not Suluoge, Dani, Dingjialu, Pahang and Johor...but Malacca?"

Liu Xin clapped her hands and said: "It's really a husband and wife. They really have a good understanding. It's true that Huang Dutong didn't pay attention to the Malay countries at all. The Portuguese asked Siam to gather troops in southern Siam because they were worried about Siam. The power of the kingdom or Jinghua continued to go south, destroying the Malay countries that originally existed as a buffer zone, and directly threatening the security of Malacca from land.

But Huang Dutong didn't intend to delay the Malay countries from the beginning and gave the Portuguese time to prepare for the war. She planned to pretend to gather troops on land, so that the Portuguese misjudged the situation, thinking that even if Jinghua went south, they would fight. The advantage on landing was directly crushed.

In fact, she planned to use the fleet to carry people and directly enter the city of Malacca by sea, so as to establish Jinghua's advantage in the Malay Peninsula in one fell swoop and ensure that the entire southern border has no worries. "

Gao Wushi sighed, and said softly, "I'm afraid it's more than that simple."

"Oh?" Liu Xin asked, "Is there any other reason or purpose?"

Gao Wushi closed his eyes and said calmly: "When she was still in the capital, I once told her that the day Jinghua took down the city of Malacca was the beginning of controlling the two oceans."

Liu Xin suddenly realized.The two oceans here are of course not the two oceans of Jinghua's current "two ocean fleet". A division of fleet responsibility.

The two oceans here are the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.Once Jinghua controls Malacca, it means that its maritime sphere of influence officially extends from the southwest Pacific to the eastern Indian Ocean.And because Malacca, the most important throat channel, is controlled by it, any western forces that want to enter Nanyang in the future must look at Jinghua's face.

Of course, the Spaniards were a slight exception. Their treasure ship fleet had a sea route from the Americas directly across the Pacific Ocean to Luzon (Philippines).However, the Spaniards have a lot of trouble in Europe. They are busy fighting against England and France on the sea and land respectively. At the same time, the Dutch War broke out. If there is no accident, Spain will not be safe for at least the next few decades. , there is no need to worry that it still has the power to cause trouble on the other side of the earth.

Gao Wushi had introduced these situations to Huang Zhiting when they actually happened. Gao Wushi also told Huang Zhiting about the parts that would probably happen under historical inertia, in the name of his own deduction. The opportunity hastened to take down the crucial city of Malacca and the entire Malay Peninsula. It was just that Jinghua herself was tired from the fight before, so Gao Pragmatism cooled her down and let her not be in a hurry.

Now that half a year has passed, Huang Zhiting brought up the old matter again, and asked Liu Xin to come forward to mention it, which had to surprise Gao Wushi, he didn't understand why Huang Zhiting was so anxious.

"Controlling the two oceans" certainly sounds cool, but the reason why Gao Yushi wants to control the two oceans is actually from the standpoint of Daming.

As long as Jinghua can control the two oceans, even if the danger of the Little Ice River peaks in the future and Da Ming is struggling to deal with it, he can at least ensure that he can get blood transfusions from the Nanyang region, alleviate the disaster caused by the weather, and tide over the difficulties smoothly.

But Huang Zhiting's reason for being so eager to control Liangyang seems to be insufficient.Liu Xin was only entrusted by Huang Zhiting to tell Gao Yushi about this matter. Of course, there must be a task to help persuade Gao Yushi to agree, but she didn't know Huang Zhiting's motives. She only thought that Huang Zhiting was trying to save Dingnan from Malacca. threatened by the Portuguese forces.

Is it really that simple?
