Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 740 Arrange for a decisive battle in the south
Ruan Juan told Gao Wushi that the reason why he knew the information about this "black prince" was because Mang Yinglong went to Laos in the second year of Wanli. At that time, the father of the black prince also sent troops as the puppet king of Siam. The prince also went out with him. These news were all said when Laos sent people to Mochao for help.

Mo Chao would definitely not send troops to rescue Laos who once took in Zheng Ni. This move of Laos only shows that they were already panicked in the face of Mang Yinglong's conquest.

But in fact, the king of Laos at that time was the self-reliant Sensurin. He felt that Mo Chao might help him, but it was not without any reason. The previous and previous kings were not of the same line.

Now Gao Yushi wants to develop the leading party, Laos is easy to do, and someone has already delivered it to the door, but Siam or Ayutthaya (Ming people like to use Ayutthaya to call the Ayutthaya Dynasty at that time) is not easy.Although the black prince is young, his father seems to be a coward. I don't know if he will stop him from "making big news".

But the Siamese do not have a leading force now, and Gao Yushi can’t guarantee that if he passes through Siam under the banner of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Siamese will eat pots of milk to welcome the king. The division is still grouped against the Ming invasion army, so the leading party still has to look for it, and at present he doesn't know enough about Siam, it seems that only the black prince is more interesting.

Ruan Juan said that the black prince, as the deputy king of Siam, did not stay in the royal city of Ayutthaya (Ayutthaya is the name of the royal city, about 140 miles north of Bangkok in later generations), but guarded Phitsanulok, an important town in the north-central part of Siam, in a sense. Said that he has "independent forces".

The problem is that Gao Wushi doesn't know who to send to contact him, and there is another possible trouble, that is, the black prince and his puppet king father once followed Mang Yinglong to Laos. Can you accept being in the same camp as him?

Seeing that Gao Wushi fell into deep thought for a moment, the three surrendered generals were a little nervous, but Mo Yulin and Ruan Juan were nervous because they didn't want Gao Wushi to shift the focus now, and focus on Laos and Siam. They hoped that Gao Wushi would make persistent efforts to calm down The remnants of Li Ni and Zheng Ni in the south, by the way, also got rid of Ruan Huang, allowing Annan to return to unity.

On the other hand, Ruan Youliao hoped that Gao could shift the target pragmatically so that Lord Zheng could have a chance to breathe.

In fact, Ruan Youliao knew in his heart that Zheng Song, who had lost Qinghua, had no room for struggle. His current strength and territory occupied were basically the same as Ruan Huang in the south. Even if Gao Yushi didn't move him, Ruan Huang Maybe they will raise troops for revenge—his brother Ruan Wang was forced to death by Zheng Song's father Zheng Jian.

But no matter what, the Zheng family was his old master, and he still didn't want the Zheng family to suffer a crushing defeat.

It was Huang Zhiting who suddenly interjected, and said: "According to the platform, if you want to contact the Siamese, you might as well ask the merchant ship owners in your fleet. Most of them are Cantonese businessmen, and many of them came from their ancestors. Nanyang families, maybe some of them are familiar with Siam."

Yup!

Gao Wushi's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Miss Huang reminded me very well!"

Then he glanced at the three surrendered generals and the silent Cen Ling, and said, "You don't have to worry, the peace of Annan is still the top priority at the moment, and... we need to speed up the progress."

Mo Yulin and Ruan Juan were overjoyed immediately, Ruan Youliao sighed softly in his heart, but did not speak.

Gao Wushi said again: "Ruan Youliao."

"The end is here."

"The [-] old troops reorganized this time are not intended to be handed over to you to command." Gao Wushi said indifferently: "When will Zheng Ni be put down, and when will I consider you to lead the army."

"Yes, the general understands. Thank you for pressing the table." Ruan Youliao breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't mind that Gao Yushi didn't give him soldiers. Going to fight Zheng Song, that's the trouble - at this time, the upper class people in Annan, both civil and military, all understand Chinese. Ruan Youliao felt embarrassed when the old master went to war.

However, Gao Yushi did not give him this batch of troops, but it was not simply to take care of his mood, but Gao Yushi still had a second stage of training to complete. Wan Mo's army and the [-] Zheng's army were broken up and reorganized into one army.

The Mo family and the Zheng family have fought life and death for decades. It is obviously a lot of work to bring these two armies together, but Gao Yushi thinks it is worth it, because after the two troops are combined into one, there is no need to worry about it. They can rebel - you stare at me to find fault, I stare at you to find fault, how can this be rebellious!
At that time, if the Gao family members mix sand into the middle-level officer system, it will be even more useless to rebel or something.

With this 6-strong army in hand, Gao Wuwu's authority in Annan's system has basically been established—after all, he still has a fleet of about [-] Jiading guards and Annan's combined fleet can't resist. With the addition of the [-] troops, Annan has no one who can defy him.

However, Mo Yulin now has 3 people under his command. This is an unbalanced factor. At that time, he will have to find a way to split it up. However, Ruan Juan's 5000 people... are barely high and can be tolerated. within the category.

In fact, he wants to give half of Mo Yulin's 3 people to Ruan Youliao right now, but if he does this, his appearance will be too ugly, so he has to wait a little longer, he must wait for a chance, and he can't do it recklessly, otherwise Mo Yulin may lose his troops However, his high pragmatism will inevitably lose his prestige.

Being the "boss" is like this, at least it looks like a bowl of water is level.

Now that other things have been finished, Zheng Ni has to hurry up and tidy up, so Gao Wushi stopped talking and started to arrange military affairs.

He said: "The renovation in Tsinghua is coming to an end. All the ministries should be ready to continue going south. General Ruan Youliao stayed with Benyong to discuss military affairs. Huang Zhiting's and Cen Ling's troops were dispatched along with Benyon as the central army. Mo Yulin General and General Ruan Juan, you two are the main combat force this time, and now there are two plans in front of you, and you can each choose one."

Since these two were famous generals of the Mo Dynasty, they had long guessed that they would be pushed to the front line to fight, so they were not surprised, they just calmly asked for advice on the highly pragmatic two-way plan.

Gao Wushi said: "The first of these two plans is the West Road, starting from Tsinghua, taking Qingdu, Kuizhou, Chalin, and Yuma along the way, and then going east to encircle Yingdu with the main force (Nghe An Zhishou); the other road is the east road, take the sea road and go straight to Ho Hua Mansion (the ancient name of Ha Tinh), cutting off the possible alliance between Zheng Song and Ruan Huang."

Ruan Juan said without further ado, "The general will choose the sea route."

It is no surprise that this answer is highly pragmatic, because when he was under Mo Jingdian, Ruan Juan used the sea route to attack Nhe An and Hue several times. It is estimated that he is very familiar with the terrain around Ho Hua Province, and he is very familiar with this kind of landing operations. , he may also have a lot of experience.

Gao Wushi nodded, but Mo Yulin frowned and said, "According to Yentai's plan, the main force led by Yentai at that time should plan to go south along the Linhai Plain to take Jingjia Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, and then fight with him. The West Route Army besieging the British capital?"

"good."

This plan is actually very simple. The land is equivalent to two roads on the left and right. The main force of the road goes directly to Yingdu, and the army of the west road makes a right uppercut. Song's last retreat.

This is a well-regulated plan, with nothing special about it, and no obvious flaws, but there is one question that Mo Yulin has to ask: "In this way, the Zhenning Mansion in the west of the Nghe An Xuanfu Division will not go. fight?"

Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "If you go to fight, you have to detour or divide your troops, which is meaningless - if all the three routes go well, Zheng Ni will be completely wiped out. It's just a Zhenning mansion, and the spread can be determined."

That's true, the Zhenning Mansion has a total population of [-], and its military strength... the ghost knows if Zheng Song has withdrawn all of them. If they are all lost elsewhere, wouldn't the Zhenning Mansion be a successor?It might even be impossible to send someone to ask for surrender.

Mo Yulin nodded: "Since that's the case, the last general will do this east route."

Gao Wushi was very satisfied, and smiled slightly: "Very well, since you two have no objections, then this matter is settled, and the army will set off in five days... Oh, you two go first, and wait three days after you leave." , The main force of the Chinese army will start again."

It doesn't matter to Mo Yulin if he walks three days earlier, his right is a right uppercut, that is to say, he has to go around an arc, and even if he walks three days earlier, he may not be able to coincidentally join forces with the main force in Yingdu City at the same time.

But Ruan Juan became a little more cautious.

Although theoretically speaking, he is the farthest, but in fact, because he is taking the sea route, and there is no other city that he is required to capture on the way, it is equivalent to directly airborne Hehua Mansion (Hejing), so he appeared on Zheng Song's back road. At that time, Gao Wushi might not have made a move—that means that Zheng Song might turn around and hit him first.

Ruan Juan thought for a while, and asked: "Press the table, take the Hehua Mansion, the general will have this confidence, but judging from this schedule, Zheng Ni may mobilize the main force to expel the general after he takes the Hehua Mansion." The last general. The last general only has 5000 people in his hands. It may be difficult to fight two battles in a row. See if you can let the fleet help the last general to fortify the river north of Hehua Mansion, or simply send a big one to send After the end arrives at Hehua Mansion, immediately turn back and head north, and go to Dajiang (Jiang's name) to threaten Yingdu?"

Gao Wushi thought for a while and said, "Then let them go north to threaten Yingdu. I heard that the flow of water in the river at Hehua Mansion is not stable. It is now in the dry season. It may not be effective to help you fortify. Yingdu It is Zheng Ni's last stronghold, and it is not far from Dajiangkou, as long as the fleet reaches Dajiangkou, there is no need to swim upstream, and Zheng Ni will not dare to send troops south to attack you."

Ruan Juanxi said: "Thank you for pressing the table, so I will be very sure to win the Hehua Mansion in the end, if not, I will come to see you myself!"

"Okay, okay, taking down the Hehua Mansion is a great achievement, and it is a must to show merit for the general." Now Gao Wushi actually likes Ruan Juan a little bit, relatively speaking, he is more like a simple soldier.
