Chapter 1467 Changes in Southern Border ([-])
Gao Mo's suggestion is also interesting, and Gao Wushi understands it immediately.

But he shook his head and said: "The master said: "If you don't teach, killing is called cruelty. If you don't guard against it, it's called violence. If you are slow to order until it's time, you're called a thief. It's like dealing with others, and being stingy with cashiers is called cruelty." There is a division'."

After a pause, she continued: "Zhi Ting has long been prepared for the attack on Malacca. Since the matter is approaching, it is impossible to go around her. She took care of everything in southern Xinjiang on my behalf. I have no reason not to ask about it. What is her plan.

Uncle Mo, this should not be confused with Huang Yinglei's matter.You go now, write to Dingnan in my name, and ask Dingnan what is the detailed plan for this, and what level of preparations have been made.At the same time, this letter was forwarded to the Nanyang Fleet for Gao Jing to reply. "

Gao Mo bowed to his orders and left.

As soon as Gao Mo left, Liu Xin saw Gao Wushi looking at her, she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders: "I can't get close, it seems I'm talking too much."

Gao Wushi didn't pay attention to this sentence, but asked with some doubts: "Why do you seem to be worried about relatives in my clan?"

Although Liu Xin said that "there is no close relationship", it seems that she is not really worried about this issue. Hearing Gao Wushi's question, she couldn't help curling her lips: "Do you want Gao Ruichu to be Zhu Wenzheng?"

High pragmatism can't help but stagnate.

Zhu Wenzheng, this Wenzheng is not a posthumous title, but his name.This person is the famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty, the nephew of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the core figure of Zhu Yuanzhang Group.He once served as the governor of the governor's office, the highest yamen in the whole army.His father was Zhu Xinglong, the eldest brother of Zhu Yuanzhang, King of Nanchang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang raised his army, Zhu Xinglong had already passed away, and Zhu Xinglong's wife, Wang Shi, took his son Zhu Wenzheng to attach to Zhu Yuanzhang.Zhu Yuanzhang raised Zhu Wenzheng as his own son.Zhu Wenzheng was brave and good at fighting. When he crossed the river with his army, he captured Jiqing Road.Zhu Yuanzhang asked him: "What kind of official do you want to be?" Zhu Wenzheng replied: "Uncle has become a great career, so why not be rich. First give relatives official rewards, how can you convince the public!" Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to hear this, and loved this nephew even more.

From the 21st year of Yuan Dynasty to Zhengzheng, Zhu Yuanzhang changed the Privy Council to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and appointed the Privy Council Tongqin Zhu Wenzheng as the Metropolitan Governor to control Chinese and foreign military forces.And then set up Jiangxi, guarding Hongdu (Nanchang), southwest of Pinghan, and non-flesh and blood officials cannot guard it.

Chen Youliang led an army of 60 to encircle Hongdu. Zhu Wenzheng defeated him several times and held on for 85 days.Zhu Wenzheng broke Chen Youliang's grain and road again, and Youliang was defeated.Then he sent He Wenhui and others to crusade against unattached prefectures and counties.Zhu Wenzheng contributed a lot to the pacification of Jiangxi.

After Zhu Yuanzhang returned to Beijing, he greatly rewarded Chang Yuchun, Liao Yongzhong and other officers and men with gold and silk.However, Zhu Wenzheng has made great achievements but has not been rewarded for the time being. He became angry and lost his temper. He was appointed to plunder his wife and daughter.

According to Li Yinbing, the inspector, played Zhu Wenzheng's arrogance and extravagance, and Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to scold him.Zhu Wenzheng was afraid, and Li Yinbing played Zhu Wenzheng's dissent again.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately went to the city by boat and called Zhu Wenzheng.Zhu Wenzheng went out to meet Zhu Wenzheng in a hurry, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What are you going to do?" He was escorted back to the capital, and Empress Ma persuaded him: "Here is just a strong personality, nothing else." .

Of course, Gao Yushi is very clear about these things, so after Liu Xin put Zhu Wenzheng's matter on Gao Ruichu's head, Gao Yushi felt awe-inspiring.

Seeing that he was silent, Liu Xin simply said, "It's nothing that you use Gao Ruichu as the tour envoy in southern Siam. After all, your third brother Gao Wuqin has long been the commander-in-chief of the Six Towns in Annan. But the two of them are different. Gao Wuqin It's your compatriot brother, Gao Ruichu is not only a generation lower, but also just a cousin.

On Gao Wuqin's side, you didn't make many special arrangements; on Gao Ruichu's side, you just let Musali, a Cambodian general, partner with him.If it is said that there is no intention to test him here, it is hard for me to believe it.

And this test is similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's failure to reward Zhu Wenzheng's great achievements in Jiangxi... Gao Situ, don't you do this because you are afraid that Gao Ruichu's mentality will expand and you will go astray? "

Gao Wushi did not remain silent this time, but laughed instead: "How do you know that I am not afraid that his achievements will overwhelm the Lord?"

"Great master?" Liu Xin also smiled, but shook her head at the same time: "How? Don't say that Jinghua was established and controlled by you, even if you let him pacify the Malay Peninsula this time, so what?
He is the tour envoy of Siam, but the guardian envoy of Siam is Mu Sally.He is in charge of government affairs, and Musali is in charge of the army. Even if he conquers the Malay Peninsula, Musali is probably the number one in terms of merit, right?
What's more, even if the credit for conquering the Malay Peninsula is all credited to Gao Ruichu, can his credit be comparable to that of Mrs. Malay?Don't say you can't compare to her, I'm afraid I can't even compare to you - so you have to worry about his achievements?

So in the final analysis, you are worried that he will be unstable and may take pride in his achievements. When the time comes, will you kill him, or put him under house arrest like Zhu Wenzheng to death?You definitely don't want to see either of these two situations, so I say that Siam cannot be solely responsible for this southern expedition. "

Gao Wushi asked calmly: "Then why did you not agree to let Zhiting go? Don't mention any reasons like 'there is no second day', you know I will not agree, and that is not your consistent idea."

Liu Xin raised her eyebrows: "What do I always think?"

"Huh?" Gao Wushi also raised his eyebrows in return, and said, "Didn't you always insist on equal rights?"

"Ha, is there a relationship between the two?" Liu Xin shook her head and said, "Even in this era, the emperor and the empress claim to be enemies of each other. However, once upon a time, it was the empress who decided who would be the emperor? Only the emperor decides." Who is the queen.

Just because I have the idea of ​​equal rights does not mean that I ignore the reality, but what is the reality in southern Xinjiang?Jinghua was created by you alone, and you must be the most discerning person in most matters such as politics, military affairs, and technology.I am clear about your goal and support it, so all situations that may pose a threat to you are in my opposition.

The relationship between me and Huang Zhiting is very complicated. I know that she intends to use me, but I also know that her use is not from her personal point of view, but from your point of view. The key to being friends with her.

But even so, on the premise that the Huang clan is still strong, I don't agree with you to make certain decisions that will allow her to continue to increase her prestige.One day when you are here, she may never consider betraying you, but what if you are no longer here?How can you tell what she will do for Gao Yuan?

Now that you don't have any other sons, it might seem like overkill, but I don't think you'll have just one son?You might say that in the future, southern Xinjiang can also be like Daming, and strictly follow the rules of establishing a son and establishing a leader, but I think the situation in southern Xinjiang may be very difficult to be the same as that of Daming. "

"What's the difference?" Gao Wushi smiled slightly.

"Daming has no enclaves, and the areas it rules are connected together. What about the southern border? Although you have established a governance structure with Siam as the core, the geographical division has always existed objectively.

Now it is only the end of the 21th century, not the [-]st century, or even the [-]th century. The maritime territory—for example, the Philippines in the future, is it too far away from Dingnan?
Judging from the current situation, after you take down the Philippines, you have to set up a king for the local area. In other words, Jinghua will set up a general or patrol envoy there.May I ask what is the difference between a general consul and a tour envoy and a governor and a governor?
They are also the big officials of the frontier, and they are independent frontiers far away from or even separated from the core of your southern border... Can you be sure that you will always be firmly in control?Maybe while you're alive, but what about after you're gone?

I think about it, unless you don't allow "frontiers" like the Philippines to have a navy at that time, it will inevitably cause their centrifugal tendency. At that time, the best choice you can make is to send one of your sons to guard it.

But here comes the problem, doing so will make Gao Yuan feel threatened.If this son is also Huang Zhiting's direct descendant, Huang Zhiting may not suppress him too much, and Gao Yuan will be even more wary of him; if this son is not Huang Zhiting's direct descendant, Gao Yuan's sense of threat may not be so strong, but will Huang Zhiting regard him as If he is a threat, then it is hard to say.

All in all, either way it leads to internal rifts.Under this barrier, the higher Huang Zhiting's prestige and strength, the more likely to go wrong... Do you want to see that scene? "

Gao Wushi frowned and said, "Didn't you only care about military affairs before?"

"The one who is close to the ink is black." Liu Xin spread her hands: "I have stayed by your side for a long time, and I know the many plans you have planned, so that I will think of these conspiracy theories every now and then. Isn't it all about you? Harmful?"

Gao Wushi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly, and said again: "The Philippines seems to be divided, but in fact, for the Nanyang Fleet, it is right under the nose."

"After you take down the Philippines and the Malay Peninsula, will you stop here?" Liu Xin raised her eyebrows: "Even if you didn't say it, but you support the Shimadzu family, don't you covet Japan? You built Dandong Don’t you plan to take down the whole of Nanyang after controlling Malacca? After taking over Nanyang, don’t you plan to take action against Australia, which is rich in resources, to avoid being attacked by Europe? People go straight to the heart?

What's more, when Huang Zhiting wanted to fight Arakan, your answer was that you didn't want to fight the Mughal Empire right now—in other words, you actually have thoughts about India in your heart, but you just don't care about it right now, or I can't do it, am I wrong?
If you don't speak, I will take it as the default.Well, with such a vast territory, including the sea, do you really think that the navy alone can provide enough deterrence to the separated areas?
No matter how strong the navy is, these places always need a strong army to guard them. After they have a strong enough army, how can you ensure that the southern border center on the Indochina Peninsula can suppress them?
May I ask, how much naval power does the southern border center on the Indochina Peninsula have to be able to put hundreds of thousands of troops into an expedition at a time and overwhelm some divided places? "

Gao Wushi smiled wryly and said, "I really think...you're thinking too far. Besides, since you said that, doesn't it mean that Zhiting doesn't have such a high prestige, and this matter is over? Not to mention other things, such as why you Do you think I must die so early? Haven’t you heard of the scourge living for thousands of years?”

Liu Xin waved her hand: "This is just a hypothesis. After all, normally speaking, most men's lifespans are not as long as women's. You don't think I'm cursing you, do you?"

Gao Wushi shrugged: "That doesn't matter, you know my political background, I don't believe it."

Liu Xin took the topic back and said, "Okay, let's continue talking about Huang Zhiting's question. On the premise that she lived longer than you, and then deduce based on the fact that she considers everything for you now: Suppose you win Well... let's say Japan.

You arranged for a son to go to Japan to guard. According to Japan's current strength, he may even have an army of 50 at hand. Do you think Huang Zhiting can rest assured?

Even if she doesn't consider whether Gao Yuan can shake the scene in the future, with the strength of the 50 army alone, she may be worried that Japan will be split... Do you think that with her character, would she think this is right? Your foundation poses a serious threat?So what will she do? "

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "Even according to your assumptions, first, I should have found a way to solve the hidden danger before I died; At that step, she will still think of a way to do it. Now you ask me to restrict her from gaining these prestige and strength, but it will not solve the problem. "

Liu Xin said: "The reason why I suggest this is because as long as she doesn't have the confidence to solve it easily, then she probably won't resort to excessive violence, at least she won't use troops.

And as long as there are no troops, this matter is very likely to be just a political fight.On the other hand, that is to say, the conflict will not be too intense, it will not cause internal fighting, and it will not cause serious damage to the overall strength of southern Xinjiang.

You established the circle of influence in southern Xinjiang to resist European colonialism. If there is such a big turmoil in southern Xinjiang, it is hard to say whether this resistance will be successful.And as long as southern Xinjiang looks like a whole, the possibility of success in this defense will be much higher. "

Gao Wushi said: "Even so, it's only treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it can't solve your so-called 'centrifugal force' problem."

Liu Xin nodded, and said, "That's right, but I can't think of a better way for the time being. I even think... Otherwise, you don't even think about implementing a complete centralized system like the Ming Dynasty in southern Xinjiang. It's better to implement a coalition government.

That is, with the Indochina Peninsula as the core, they are allowed a certain degree of autonomy for some surrounding areas where they do not have enough control, but they must recognize the authority of the center, and when it is time to send troops, they must cooperate with the center to send troops... and so on. "

Gao Wushi shook his head and said, "I sound a bit like the Four Great Khanates of the Mongols, but you have to know that with the occurrence of a series of internal competition for the position of the Mongolian Great Khan, the Four Great Khanates soon became independent."

Liu Xin spread her hands: "Didn't you say that you can copy Daming's system of establishing a heir and establishing an elder? In that case, there will be no battle for heirs."
