Chapter 715 Annan Wants Face
What is strange to Gao Yu now is that since Mo Mao agreed to allow his army to enter the city, it means that there is no malice, but why did he say that he is here to help Annan's reinforcements?
He wouldn't really believe that his fleet was here to help him build the Red River line of defense, would he?His army has all gone south to attack Tsinghua, do you want a bird on the Red River defense line?
But this is not a problem, as long as the army can enter the city, other things can be discussed.

Well, let's also discuss the surrender of Mo's defenders in the city. This is also very important. After all, they may have tens of thousands of people, which is twice as many as the soldiers they brought.

Gao Yu then raised this issue and said that he would enter the city peacefully only if the Mo army surrendered.

However, this Xiongli Gong Mo Jingzhi gave him the conditions authorized by Mo Maoqia. Mo Jingzhi told Gao Yu in very complicated expressions, the general meaning is: our army will accept the command of your army, not to your army. Army surrendered.

And he added that in order to avoid mutual suspicion between the two armies, they are willing to take another step back, "allow your army to reorganize our army, and send officers to supervise our army officers to implement your army's military orders."

That is to say, they are willing to accept any rectification and order except "put down your arms and surrender".

Gao Yu was a little confused about what Mo Maoqia meant, but Boss Hu seemed to understand something, invited Gao Yu aside, and whispered to him: "Zuo Gao Tuan, I may understand what Annan people mean."

"Really? Boss Hu, tell me quickly." Gao Yu hurriedly said.

Boss Hu said: "In fact, Mo Maoqia's current attitude is very simple, that is, he is willing to obey all of our Jinghua's orders, except for letting him publicly say the word 'surrender'."

"Oh...he just wants to save some face!" Gao Yu's eyes brightened, and he laughed: "For face, it's easy to say, easy to say, what I want in Jinghua is lining!"

Boss Hu also laughed: "The conditions Mo Maoqia gave seem to be good. He allowed Gao Tuanzuo to reorganize his army in the city, which is equivalent to handing himself over to Gao Tuanzuo. After all, he is the so-called The 'Emperor', with him in Jinghua's hands, he has the name of commanding Mo Chao everywhere... Congratulations to the Gaotuan soldiers for making this extraordinary feat without bloodshed!"

Gao Yu himself found it inconceivable that he brought such a fleet and thousands of soldiers and horses, and captured Mo Chao's "Emperor"?
Especially... when the opponent can escape even if he really can't beat him?

Why is it like a dream!

He continued to discuss conditions with Xiongli Gong Mo Jingzhi in a somewhat high spirits, but the other party raised some detailed questions, for example, the Annan people said that the Ming army could enter the city, but they could not enter through the main entrance of Xiangfu Gate.

The reason is that the Xiangfu Gate is the so-called "Royal Gate". The Xiangfu Gate has three left, middle and right doors. On weekdays, only the left and right doors can be opened. It is said that the middle gate of Xiangfu Gate is like the main gate of the Forbidden City, only the emperor can enter and exit.

Of course, this is the time to exclude the two major exceptions of the queen's canonization, the first-class Jinshi and the second.

It doesn't matter to Gao Yu, where does he enter?It's just changing the door, not climbing the dog hole, just let him go.

The second point is that Mo Maoqia's seal and ribbon cannot be handed over - of course he is talking about the silver seal of the governor given to Mo Maoqia by the Ming Dynasty.

According to Mo Jingzhi, the silver seal of the commander-in-chief is a symbol of Annan's orthodoxy, and now the Emperor Ming has not expressed his intention to depose the commander-in-chief of Annan, so how can he hand over the seal?Even if "General Gao" came to "order" the Annan Metropolitan Commander on behalf of the Guangxi patrol censor Gao Gong, he could not accept the seal and ribbon of the Annan Metropolitan Commander, which would be "unreasonable".

On this point, Gao Yu felt that the problem was not too big. Anyway, as long as Mo Maoqia was in his own hands, there was no real difference whether he held the big seal for him or himself.

But Gao Yu still asked: "What about the 'Emperor's Treasure' of 'your country'?"

The muscles on Mo Jingzhi's face twitched slightly, but he still said calmly: "Since this object is not recognized by the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to leave it to General Gao for safekeeping for the time being, and wait for Guangxi's inspector censor Gao Gong to distribute it."

Gao Yu was extremely satisfied—anyway, when Mo Maoqia issued the order in Annan, it must not be the silver seal given by Daming, but the so-called emperor's treasure, so he took his "Yuxi" is much more useful than the silver seal of the governor who took him.

This is a de facto transfer of power.

Since the other party was so talkative, Gao Yu put away his arrogance. People respect me a foot, and I respect others.

He smiled and said: "Then may I ask, if our army does not enter the city through the Xiangfu Gate, which gate should we enter the city through?"

Xiongli Gong Mo Jingzhi said: "The four gates of Shenglong, Dongxiangfu, Xiguangfu, Nandaxing, Beiyaode, Xiangfu, Guangfu, Daxing and Yaode can be used, but with your army Wish."

Gao Jue had seen the layout plan of Shenglong City given to him by Boss Hu, and knew that Mo Jingzhi said it was casual, but in fact he could only go through the south gate, Daxing Gate, because the west gate, Guangfu Gate, and the north gate, Yaode Gate, had to make a big detour Son.If you enter the city from Daxingmen, you have to go a short way back and disembark from Dulat Wharf.There is a certain distance between Daxing Gate and Xiangfu Gate, and there is also a distance between Du Lat Wharf and Daxing Gate, um... a little more than two kilometers.

It doesn't matter if you walk a few more steps, you can still enter the city in time today.

However, he still asked the two ship owners, "Can our ship berth at Du Lat Wharf?"

"Flood season should be fine, but now is the dry season—" Boss Li frowned slightly, and said to Boss Hu: "Old Hu, our boats are no bigger than big boats like Jinghua. See if these big boats can..."

Boss Hu shook his head and said, "For safety reasons, it is not suitable to berth large ships at Dulat Wharf. If you land at Dulat Wharf, you must use a small boat to connect."

This is not a problem at all. The soldiers who landed are only 500 people. After putting down the lifeboats hanging on the side of the big ship, they will be transported back and forth in two or three rounds. —Aren’t they taking orders from us now?

But the question Gao Yu considered was whether the Annan people would do anything during this process?For example, will you play the trick of "strike halfway"?

Of course, this is not a big problem, Gao Yu thought: as long as a small group of soldiers is sent ashore first, searched and guarded, established a beachhead, and ensured that the pier is safe and sound, there will be no problem at all for the subsequent large troops to land calmly.

Furthermore, with such a large fleet staring at the river and providing artillery support at any time, if the Annan people dare to play tricks, wouldn't they be seeking their own death and their own destruction?

But the ugly words still have to be said first, Gao Yu smiled and said: "Mr. Xiongli, since our army is here to help your army, I will explain some cooperation details in advance: During the process of cleaning the wharf, if you have any unfriendly actions, you will be offended by the heavens—can Mr. Xiong Li understand what I mean?"

Duke Xiong Li's complexion was not good, but he still nodded his head to express his understanding.

Due to the size of the fleet, it took half an hour before the fleet arrived at the designated location.

Compared with Xiangfumen Wharf, Dula Wharf is not only simple, but also desolate. It is just a flat yellow mud land without any auxiliary buildings. Weeds are overgrown not far away, and there are trees in the distance.

Gao Yu muttered in his heart, such a ghostly place, you really need to be more careful!
He sent fifty infantrymen to land in two small boats first.The fleet lined up, and the sailors on the "observation towers" of the neighboring ships all opened their eyes wide. If there was any trouble, they would immediately send out a signal and directly bombard the mother.

The two small boats docked smoothly. After landing, ten people formed a team, and fifty infantrymen were divided into five teams, fanning out to search and move forward.

It didn't take long before the five teams reported one after another: This Du La Wharf is simple and desolate, and desolate is desolate, but within a few hundred steps, no one can be seen - the advance team sent a messenger to report safety, and said that a warning has been established .

Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Log in!"
