Chapter 470 Three Armies
"Mr. Mo killed my envoy, and their fate is over."

Chen Mu spoke with his back facing the map in the Military Mansion Guard Staff Division. Behind him was the map presented by Mo Dengyong, the ancestor of the Mo family, when he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty during the Jiajing period.

The history of Annan belonging to the Ming Dynasty can be traced back to Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas and the Yongle Dynasty. In addition to the voyages to the Western Seas, another major strategic decision in the Southwest is to violate the ancestor's motto that "getting the land is not enough to supply, and getting the people is not enough to command." According to the ancestral precepts, go to war against An Nanguo.

It was an unprecedented bragging battle. It is recorded in Annan Shiji that 80 Ming troops left Zhennan Pass in this battle, and Da Viet refused with 700 million. , Separate officials to handle affairs and recruit refugees.For the sake of long-term residence, many virgins were castrated, and copper coins were collected from all over the place, and sent to Jinling by post. '

In this way, after the war of mobilizing 780 million troops in the records, Annan became the later Chief Secretary of Cochin. Every time Zhang Fu left, the local area rebelled once. The garrison was 7, and the annual consumption of one million taels of silver could only be collected Get [-] taels of tax.

In fact, the two sides mobilized only 30 troops in this battle, and Annan mobilized 21.

By the time of Emperor Renzong and Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the policy had been fully contracted, and Annan had become a bottomless pit.

Decades ago, Mo Dengyong usurped the throne of the Li Dynasty to guard Thang Long, and the old ministers of the Li family separated the south with Qinghua, bringing Annan into the era of confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

In the north of Mordenyong, there is also the enemy of the Ming Dynasty. When Guangxi began to raise troops, Mordenyong would kneel at the bottom of Zhennanguan, hand in all the maps, and donate the disputed land together. The Ming Dynasty will not withdraw its troops. Hit, Mo Dengyong will go back and beat Li's former officials.

This kind of trick once made Emperor Jiajing very happy, and he named Mo Dengyong the commander of Annan. In this way, Mo Dengyong called the commander of Daming Annan to the outside world, and called himself emperor to Jianyuan, and controlled Annan for decades.

In the past, the relationship between the Mo family and the Ming Dynasty was relatively harmonious, but now Mo Dengyong's great-great-grandson Mo Maoqia is in power. There is a general in the country, Mo Jingdian, who once attacked the Southern Dynasty soldiers to encircle Qinghua. Perhaps it only takes one big battle to defeat Li All the old ministers of the family were killed.

"At this juncture, the person who kills me is not wise." Chen Mu glanced at the generals sitting in the room, and said: "I'll decide whether to fight or not. How to fight, brothers come to make up your mind."

Chen Mu had no choice. The Portuguese who could help him had not entered the territory of Annan. All the information about Annan came from the Chief Secretary of Guangxi. Except for a map in his hand, everything else was based on guesswork. At this time, the relationship between him and Liu Ting The combat ideology is the same.

There are Chen Lin and Shi Li's curious son Chen Jiujing, Bai Yuanjie with a firm face, and Deng Zilong who is eager to fight.

In the last seat, Lin Manjue and Lin Xiao, who were sitting in the same room with all the generals, were uncomfortable.

"Chen Shuai, the imperial order has not been issued yet. How this battle is still pending. There is only one matter that needs to be resolved."

Hearing Bai Yuanjie's solemn words, Chen Mu nodded and asked, "Brother, please tell me, what's the matter?"

Lao Bai blinked, looked at Chen Lin and Deng Zilong, then raised his head to look at Chen Mu, and said, "This battle, we can't allow Bai to organize his supplies anymore!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals in the hall laughed together. The Nanyang Military Mansion has fought many times in the past few years. logistics.

"Hahaha, Bai Shuai, you are the commander of the Guangdong capital, you don't care about the logistics, who can take care of it?"

Chen Lin laughed and turned Bai Yuanjie into trouble, but saw Bai Yuanjie said seriously: "It is true. In the past, Bai was in Guangdong, and this matter should be done, but this battle does not need Guangdong's baggage. It is necessary to fight from Guangxi, Malacca, and Champa. Bai's luggage is heavy."

Chen Mu nodded with a smile on his face, looked back, and asked, "General Hu, how about transferring you to Guangxi to control the coastal supplies, and Commander Bai leading the Guangdong military ships to settle in Qiongzhou's Zhuan Pond?"

The so-called Zhuchi refers to the Beibu Gulf of later generations, which is the sea area where Guangxi fishermen often fought with the Mo's and Li's warships. It was a [-]-mile voyage from the westernmost point of Qiongzhou to the mouth of the Red River.

"As long as Commander Bai controls Zhuchi, the luggage and warships can be transported to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Li clan, and they can also harass the enemy's coast. The Department of Foreign Affairs of the government has sent people to Qinghua to contact the old ministers of the Li family and inform them of the news that I intend to attack the Mo family."

"The purpose of this battle is to take the Red River, clear the main roads, and punish Mo Maoqia, but it's not to destroy the Mo family, let alone support the old officials of the Li family." Chen Mu drew several circles on the map behind him with a bamboo whip.

"The old ministers of the Li family in the south are weak. Zheng Song of Qinghua, Wu Gongji of Xuanguang, and Ruan, Li and other surnames ruled in various places. In name, they all respect the Lord of the Later Li. In reality, they are different from each other and only fight against the Mo family. "

Chen Mu smiled and didn't say anything more, the generals under his command already nodded to understand what he meant.

Chen Mu is very bad. Although in his words, all he does is save the world, but in fact he saves the world of Daming and the people of Daming. These salvations have nothing to do with others.

Just like planning to attack the Mo family this time, it was actually only because the Mo family killed the envoy he sent, and he needed river and land routes to open up the supply route to Yunnan. Land income Daming territory.

At least not actually for that purpose.

Yin Jian is not far away. Incorporating Annan into the territory and governing Annan is something that cannot make ends meet. Naturally, he will not do this kind of thing again.

In the manuscript he reported to the imperial court, he proposed to ask for several edicts to award rewards. First, the military would be stationed to guard the riverside, and then the powerful officials in various places would be enfeoffed, further intensifying the separatist forces, and relying on power to stabilize the place for several years.

Two or three years, in Chen Mu's opinion, is enough. After that, they beat them. As long as the Nanyang Army can still get everything they want in that land, there is no need to rule.

However, the progress of the matter was beyond Chen Mu's expectation, and the court was much more radical than he had imagined.

While Chen Mu was discussing matters with the general in the staff department, the soldiers at the door presented the letter. After reading Zhang Juzheng's handwritten letter outside the staff room, Chen Mu returned to the staff department with fists clenched.

"The imperial court, the order is issued. We can discuss the war against Annan. The Ministry of War discusses matters, and there is only one order for this war. Hurry up."

"The Ministry of War intends to join forces with three parties to destroy the Mo family. The southern coast of Thang Long is the place where we and other Nanyang military government will attack. Liu Shuai, who was stationed in Yunnan, went south to join forces with Xuanguang Wu Gongji. dragon."

"Chen's tricks are not easy to use!"

Chen Mu spread out his hands, mourned for a moment of silence for the self-important Mo's regime, and said, "Let's start a discussion!"

　Good morning!
