"On the platform, Zheng Song asked to surrender. He has taken Li Ni's young master Li Weitan to the north of the city. He is kneeling facing the north, waiting for his surrender."
The one who spoke was Cen Ling, and his Guixi Wolf Soldiers were the vanguard of this trip.
Gao pragmatic nodded and said: "The army is moving forward, I'm here to meet with this 'Lord Zheng'."
Huang Zhiting came closer and said to Gao pragmatically: "Start now?"
Gao pragmatic said "hmm" and said with a slight smile: "Miss Huang, I will leave my life to you."
Huang Zhiting's delicate body trembled. Although she knew Gao Pingshi's words were meant as a joke, she couldn't help but said: "If you hurt a hair, I must be dead."
Gao Jingshi was startled for a moment, then laughed again. He suddenly took a step closer, reached out and patted her left shoulder, and whispered: "That's not okay, I want you to live well."
Although Huang Zhiting was the leader of the chieftains in southern Guangxi, she had already established her general power after marching all the way south, but no matter what, she was still a woman. This move by Gao Pragmatic not only surprised Huang Zhiting himself, but also made the generals present look at each other in astonishment. , looking at each other.
Gao Pragmatic acted like a normal person, as if he was just showing kindness to his trusted subordinates. He didn't care about Huang Zhiting and Xiafei's cheeks, and walked straight out, went to the war horse and got on his horse.
After a while, Huang Zhiting also came out, her face red but stern, she got on her horse without saying a word, and followed Gao Pragmatic closely.
After walking for a while, she couldn't help but ask: "Actually, the situation is like this now, there is no need for you to take risks."
Gao Pragmatic smiled and said: "A benevolent man does not trade safety with danger, a righteous man does not trade fortune or misfortune with his heart, and a brave man does not trade life or death with his will." Although Zheng Song is a rebellious minister, he still refuses to give up at this point. , he can be regarded as a person... But his nectar is my poison, and I insist on letting him die in peace."
Huang Zhiting was silent for a moment and said: "You don't care about safety, right? Are you trying to prove that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty are not afraid of life and death? Just like what you said to me that time, 'Although there are thousands of people, I Is it the same as before?"
"Hahahaha!" Gao Pingshi laughed and said, "You can understand it this way."
Yingdu Province is roughly the Vinh City of Vietnam in later generations, the hometown of Vietnam's "Father of the Nation" Ho Chi Minh.
This place is the Yi'an Administrative Office, located to the north of the Lanjiang River. It has no geographical advantage for enemies from the north - of course, it makes no sense even if it is south of the Lanjiang River, because Ruan Juan has already captured Hehua Mansion and the Jinghua Fleet. Now that the mouth of the Lanjiang River has been blocked, if necessary, they can send small and medium-sized warships into the river at any time like the Battle of Thanh Hoa to bombard Yingdu or the defense lines along the river.
The situation in Hehua Mansion is different from that of the North Road. It is not that Zheng's army is not defended, but the number of troops is not large, only more than 3,000. Facing Ruan Juan's 15,000 army, Zheng's army of more than 3,000 The morale of the army was low, and after guarding for two days, they left the city and surrendered.
Probably they also know that the situation in the north is quite bad. They have to surrender sooner or later, otherwise they will have to be buried with Lord Zheng?
Don't be kidding me. How much is the salary per month? Is it worth risking my life for?
However, after Ruan Juan captured Hehua Mansion, he did not lead his army north to participate in the Battle of Yingdu, because the task he received was to cut off the connection between Zheng Song and Ruan Huang, not anything else.
And he has no worries about the battle in Yingdu. This high-ranking commander...how to put it, in Ruan Juan's opinion, there is nothing ingenious. If there is any highlight, it is that he is upright and upright. pole.
But in the current situation, being upright means that Zheng Song can't find any flaws. Therefore, it can also be said that the highlight of high pragmatic command is the word stability.
Since it is stable, there is no need to worry. After all, in Zheng Song's current situation, even if he surprises Mo Yulin with a surprise attack or even defeats Mo Yulin, it will be meaningless - unless Gao Pragmatic's 100,000 troops are dealt with, he will always have someone in front of him. Dead end.
As for Zheng Song coming to attack him, it cannot be said that it is completely impossible. After all, he may escape to Hue via Ha Hua Mansion. However, based on Ruan Juan's understanding of Zheng Song, this possibility is also very small, because Zheng Song is not very big. Like a master who can be trusted by others, especially Nguyen Huang, it was his father, Zheng Jian, who sent the tiger back to the mountain to Hue and then separated himself.
Therefore, in addition to guarding He Hua Mansion, Ruan Juan's main energy is now used to find out the news in the direction of Hue.
Closer to home, about an hour later, Gao Pragmatic's army arrived at the northern suburbs of Yingdu City. Zheng Song had already led about a thousand people to kneel on the road.
Zheng Song is thirty-one years old this year, and is in his prime. Although he is not tall, he is very heroic. It's just that now that he is "in prison, his head is naked", he looks really embarrassed.
Zheng Song was also looking at Gao Pragmatic. He knew Gao Pragmatic's many names, including Gao Longwen, Gao Shidu, Gao Guanzheng, Gao Jieyuan, Gao Huiyuan, Gao Liushou, Gao Xiuzhuan... until Gao Yintai.
It has to be said that in the past ten years of Gao Pragmatic's life, he has already reached a height that countless people cannot reach in their lifetime. What's even more amazing is that his journey has been very smooth, except this time because he helped the emperor carry a Blame the blame, "downgraded to a foreign post" outside of Guangxi, his past ten years have been so smooth that anyone can be jealous.
The pragmatic Gao who appears in front of Zheng Song right now is indeed enough to make people jealous: he is tall but not strong, and his demeanor is graceful but not cold. The bright red python robe shows his noble status in the Ming Dynasty - in fact, Zheng Song is looking at Wrong, Gao Pingshi was wearing the red silk flying fish suit he was given. However, the bullfighting, flying fish, python robe and other super-grade suits are indeed "dragon-shaped" variants, and they do look somewhat similar, and Zheng In the current situation, it was not easy for Song to stare at Gao Yingshi and take a closer look, so he looked away.
Gao pragmatic rode a tall horse from Northland to the middle of the road, reined in his horse and stood a few steps in front of Zheng Song and others.
"Who is kneeling on the road?" Gao's pragmatic tone sounded very plain, and there was no hint of joy or anger.
Zheng Song's heart tightened. This situation was slightly beyond his expectation. He originally thought that Gao Pragmatic would be satisfied at this moment.
"Zheng Song, the sinner of the Southern Wilderness, and the rebel chief Li Weitan, have met the Great Tomorrow Pilgrimage Envoy." Zheng Song was also generous. When he spoke, he actually kowtowed three times, and there was a banging sound on the loess road. .
Holy messenger?
Oh, the censor of the patrol is originally the patrol of the heaven. It makes sense to say that it is a holy envoy, but this title sounds a bit strange to Gao Qiang.
"What are you doing here?"
This is just pretentious. Are they just here to kowtow?
But Zheng Song showed no anger at all. He kowtowed three times and said loudly: "Sinners did not know the power of the heaven before and did many treasonous and unethical things. Now, although it is late to repent, they still want to make amends. So, Capture the arrogant Yue Emperor Li Weitan and let him be dealt with by the heavenly envoys."
Gao pragmatic glanced at the original historical "Li Shizong", who was the son of "Li Yingzong" Li Weibang. From the fifth year to the sixth year of Longqing, the north and the south were fighting fiercely. "Li Yingzong" was not willing to become a puppet, so he plotted to remove Lord Zheng. Unexpectedly, Lord Zheng deposed and killed Li Yingzong first, and then appointed Yingzong's son, Shi Nian. Six-year-old Li Weitan is the emperor, and he is the one shivering in the prison car in front of him.
Li Weitan is only fourteen years old this year. He has been making a puppet all his life. How can he be brave? At this stage, he does not dare to be arrogant. Before being put into the prison car by Zheng Song, he was just crying. Now Gao Pingshi looked at him. He was so frightened that he started shaking like chaff.
Gao pragmatic shook his head secretly, and did not want to scare the children anymore. After all, he usually held the title of "Emperor of Dai Viet", which was too oppressive. If he was frightened and peed, the Annan people would be disgraced.
It doesn't matter that the Annan people have no glory, but there are many surrenders from the Later Li Dynasty under their rule. No matter what they say, these people still have to select a group for use. There is no need to let them do it because of this matter. Having a grudge.
We must have thunderbolt tactics, and our "Bodhisattva's heart" must also be shown when it's time to show it. After all, if we want to use Annan as the foundation and look at the entire Indo-China Peninsula, we'd better strive to be a Huang Fu to some extent...
"Although Mr. Li is a rebellious minister, I see that this person is still young, so he must not have done any evil deeds. According to the law, good deeds must be rewarded, and evil deeds must be punished. This person must be interrogated to find out what serious evil he has committed. Make a final decision. When someone comes, pick them up in a prison car and take them out of the prison car. Do not humiliate them."
This was once again beyond Zheng Song's expectation. He had thought that Gao Pragmatic would give Li Weitan a lot of warning, scolding him for being "ignorant of submissiveness" and "arrogating the title of emperor", and possibly even some insulting words. vocabulary, thus making the Annamites present feel angry. At this time, he can take advantage of the situation and take action. Although he cannot change the overall situation, he will probably die.
However, as long as Gao Pragmatic can be killed on the spot, Annan will be in chaos even if he dies.
Because Gao pragmatism is the one who can really make the decision in this Ming Dynasty's southern expedition, and he is the only one!
If Gao Jingshi died suddenly, the Ming army would be leaderless.
The two chieftains, Cen and Huang, had been secretly fighting each other since they were in Guangxi, and now they only surrendered to Gao Jingshi, a patrol censor whose background was too powerful. If Gao Jingshi died suddenly, who of the two families would be able to obey whom?
Once the 50,000 main force of the Ming army is divided, the Sword of Damocles placed on Zheng and Mo will naturally disappear. Will Mo Chao still be a puppet like it is now? Couldn't Zheng Jun, who had surrendered before, return to his command?
Well, even if he is in a certain death situation now, but he is dead and his brother Zheng Du is still there, he will definitely seize the opportunity to take Ruan Youliao under his command again, and Ruan Youliao will also have a great chance to take over those who have surrendered to the Ming army. Bring back 30,000 troops!
At that time, the Zheng family still has an army of 60,000, and it is still undecided who belongs to this land in the south!
But now, we cannot let Gao Pragmatic continue to behave like this and let the Annan people be confused by him!
Zheng Song took a thick book from the hands of a red-robed official kneeling next to him, held it in both hands, and said loudly: "Sinners, please give Annan's household registration to the Holy Envoy!"
According to the etiquette system, only Gao Yingshi, who is on behalf of Tian Xun, is qualified to receive this thing.
