Sir, I am very happy! ”

In the garden of the forecourt of Baiyulou, Gao Mo held a secret letter and walked towards Gao Shishi, who was sitting in the shade of a tree reading a book.

Gao pragmatic put down the scroll in his hand and pointed to the other chair next to him: "Sit down and say, what is the joy?" ”

"The situation in Siam is completely under control." Gao Mo handed over the secret letter in his hand and said: "Huang Dutong and Miss Liu joined forces to break Na Li Xuan in eastern Myanmar, Na Li Xuan himself was killed on the spot, more than 4,000 people were beheaded, and more than 10,000 people were captured, and the rest were scattered. ”

Gao Shishi's eyes lit up at first, but he immediately asked: "In what name did they move troops to kill Na Lixuan?" ”

"Breaking the covenant, intending to rebel, etc." Gao Mo said with a smile: "Ruan Huang had previously sent a few blank Siamese 'holy decrees' to Huang Dutong, with the great treasure of the King of Siam stamped on them. Huang Dutong convicted Na Lixuan of a number of mortal crimes, such as disobeying the king's orders. Then, in the voice of the King of Siam, he asked the troops of the Ming Expeditionary Force to exterminate the traitors for him, and promised to be rewarded with many powers in Siam. ”

"Good!" Gao Pragmatic said with a smile: "Ruan Huang has made a great contribution this time, and the performance of Zhiting and Liu Xin is unexpectedly outstanding. ”

Gao Mo said with a smile: "Annam, Nanzhang, Siam, and southern Myanmar, these places are finally connected. Master, Huaying and Nanpan in the south of Annam have arrived, shouldn't the progress of the occupation of the city also be accelerated? As long as these three places are completely mastered, almost only Cambodia is left in the entire Indochina Peninsula that is not controlled by Jinghua, but Cambodia is promised to the lord by the saint, and it must not be a big problem to take it down. ”

The Indochina Peninsula plan, which had been planned for several years, was now completed by taking advantage of the east wind of the Ming-Burma War, and Gao Pragmatic was naturally happy in his heart, but he still maintained his usual sanity and replied: "The city is weak, and it is okay to speed up the colonization task, but don't worry about Cambodia for the time being."

Although Cambodia is not strong, it has a special place, which is its royal family has a long history. If you count it by blood, it has been maintained for about 1,400 years, and there should still be some prestige among the people. If we want to enter Cambodia, we have to find some reasons to come out, and we can't force it. Although the Holy One made a promise, it was only an acknowledgment afterwards, and in the process of our taking of Cambodia, the Holy One could not say anything. ”

Gao Mo heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, nodded and said: "The little one will send someone to understand the situation in Cambodia and see if there are any people or things that can be used." ”

Gao pragmatic nodded slightly, and said: "In addition, there are many reasons why we need to wait, such as Nanzhang and Siam, which are now indirectly controlled, and are far less solid than the rule in Annam. Especially on the Siamese side, Na Lixuan is the crown prince after all, and now he has been killed by us, I think that even if the Siamese king is no longer in his pocket, his heart must be full of resentment, and he has to think of something to deal with. ”

Gao Mo hesitated: "Kill the King of Siam and change another one?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "It's definitely not possible now, and you still need his banner to command the heroes." Didn't Nguyen Huang ask Annan to give him some more support before? I promised him that the Thang Long garrison would send another 10,000 men to Ayutthaya to ensure that the Siamese king was completely controlled. ”

Gao Mo hesitated for a moment and said: "In this case, will the strength of the Shenglong garrison be weakened too seriously, after two transfers, the strength of the Shenglong garrison will drop to about 34,000, plus Huang Dutong is not in the north of Vietnam, it may not be able to deter some people." ”

Gao Pragmatic thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then let the garrison continue to expand, and the Thang Long garrison will be expanded by 16,000, and the establishment of 50,000 people will still be maintained; The Jingang garrison is also about to be expanded, and the previous 30,000 were taken away by Zhiting and 7,000, and this time it is expanded by 17,000, maintaining 40,000 in the southern part of Annan. As for the 7,000 in Zhiting's department, let them stay in southern Myanmar and guard the local area when the time comes. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Mo took advantage of the situation and said: "Master, the little one thinks that such a force is still not enough." After the expansion of Annan's two major garrisons, it is enough, but Nanzhang does not have many of our troops now. Although the country is poor, according to preliminary estimates, its population is about 2.6 million to 3 million......"

"Hasn't the Imperial Forest Army of Nanzhang Country been infiltrated by us? Next, they began to reorganize in accordance with the methods of Annan's two major garrisons and thoroughly mastered them. ”

Gao Mo thought for a while and said, "If you want to do this, then Nanzhang may also need a "Jinghua Sixteen Articles". ”

"Since they need it, give it to them." Gao pragmatic thought for a while, and then added: "The princess of the Southern Ruler Country, Bi Yajue, I remember that she has not been married yet?" ”

Gao Mo was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gao Pragmatic was going to take her in, and asked in amazement, "What does the master mean?" ”

Gao pragmatic said lightly: "Find a way to match and see if you can let her marry Huang Yinglei." ”

This idea was completely unexpected by Gao Mo, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Huang Dutong's younger brother?" ”

"That's right."

"This ...... The little one heard that this person ......"

Gao pragmatic said expressionlessly: "This person is frivolous, greedy and irritable, not enough to achieve, and more than to lose." ”

"Well, since the master knows......" Gao Mo looked slightly uneasy.

"If he weren't such a person, I would let him marry the princess of the Southern Ruler Kingdom?" Gao pragmatic sneered: "Gao Mo, think about it, even if Bi Yajue is the chief princess of Nanzhang, but Nanzhang is more inferior than women, if she marries Huang Yinglei, naturally she can't stay in Nanzhang for a long time, she can only go to Annan to live permanently, so who is in charge of Nanzhang country?" ”

"Naturally, it's her younger brother Nuocaumon."

Gao Pragmatic smiled slightly: "You should find out very clearly about this person Nuo Jiao Gumeng, he is not a bold lord, he has grown up under his sister's wing throughout his youth, since Biajue is married to Annan, can he do anything?" Moreover, according to the intelligence, this young man was fascinated by Buddhism and once wanted to become a monk and practice......"

This is not nonsense, Nokyaogumon died childless in the original history. As a result, the nobles of the southern rulers at that time adopted Vola Wangza, the nephew and son-in-law of Setatila, as the regent, and assisted their son Opa Novara, whose mother was Biajue.

Of course, Gao Mo didn't know this, so he put forward an idea: "In that case, master, the little one thinks ...... You can consider marrying Nokaugumon. ”

Gao was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and frowned: "You mean to let me marry a sister to him?" ”

Gao Mo bowed and didn't speak, but the meaning was already very clear.

Among the six rooms of the Gao family, Gao Pragmatic has two sisters and a half-sister, in terms of age alone, both sisters can marry now, and even the youngest half-sister is not unable to marry, but it will take two or three years.

It stands to reason that Nuo Jiao Gumeng is not very old anyway, so he can afford to wait.

But when Gao Pragmatic thought that Nuo Jiao Gumeng had died childless in history, he immediately refused, and said bluntly: "No." ”

Of course not, no matter whether this guy is really superstitious and refuses to get close to women or simply has a physical problem, anyway, Gao Pragmatic will not agree to let his sister marry him and be a widow, even if it is a half-sister.

As for why Gao Mo proposed this, Gao Pragmatic could guess the reason, he shook his head and said: "Nuo Jiao Gumeng will not die for a while, it is actually not bad for such a person to be the king of Nanzhang." Even if he dies in the future, we have mastered Nanzhang for a long time at that time, and we are not afraid that Nanzhang will be able to turn the sky upside down. Even if you take a step back, you still need to have a puppet at that time, and then you can also let Huang Yinglei and Bi Yajue's son go. ”

Gao Mo agreed, so he changed the topic and asked, "What will Siam do next?" ”

"Siamese ......" Gao pragmatically thought for a while, and said: "The Siamese side should not make too big moves for the time being, try to maintain the situation first, and wait for Nanzhang and Southern Myanmar to be completely controlled." ”

"Oh, there's one more thing that's important." Gao pragmatic said, from some books piled up around him, he found the map of southern Xinjiang and opened it, pointed to the location of the Chao Phraya River estuary at the top of the Gulf of Siam and said to Gao Mo: "Send someone to this place to explore the terrain, this place should be just a small fishing village at present, but I plan to build a city here, and you let Jinghua Infrastructure send capable people to explore." ”

Gao Mo looked at the place, nodded, and asked, "Master, what is the scale of this city, and what is the positioning?" ”

"Scale and positioning...... Gao pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly: "The scale is at least equivalent to two golden ports, and it doesn't hurt to be bigger." As for positioning...... I'm going to name it Dingnan, do you understand? ”

Dingnan?

It seems that this place was at least built to replace Ayutthaya and become the new royal capital of Siam, or the royal capital remained in Ayutthaya, and Dingnan became the root of Jinghua in Siam. According to the current layout, this Dingnan City may become the center of the entire southern Xinjiang in the future.

In fact, the location chosen by Gao Shishi is where Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, will be located. (Note: In fact, according to the designated location of high pragmatism, Dingnan is a little further south of Bangkok, directly on the edge of the sea.) )

As for why he chose a small fishing village with an outlet to the sea, Gao Mo has followed Gao pragmatic for so many years, and he can guess most of it - the outlet to the sea means that it is a harbor city, which can develop at a high speed in normal times, and once something abnormal occurs in Siam, Jinghua's reinforcements can also arrive quickly from the sea.

Of course, the reverse can also be said that if something is urgent, you can quickly evacuate from the sea, but Gao Mo will not say this.

Gao Mo took a closer look, the location of Dingnan is really the most suitable "center" of the entire Indochina Peninsula.

Although Annan is good, it is too remote, and if it is centered on Annan, it will be too far away from Myanmar. Dingnan is different, it is located in the center of Myanmar and Annam, and the left and right control of Myanmar and Annan are like two wings.

According to the previous Nanyang plan, it would be easy to continue south to the Malay Peninsula from here, and in the future, the seizure of Malacca could be considered by sea or land, or even by sea and land, and the chances of victory would be greatly increased.

And small fishing villages also have the benefits of small fishing villages, just like Jingang, there were not many locals originally, and when the new city was built, it was vigorously introduced by Ming immigrants, which can effectively ensure that the city is a completely sinicized city, which helps to lay a solid foundation.

Gao Mo immediately agreed, and said: "The matter of exploring the terrain will be arranged as soon as possible, but if the scale of this Dingnan City is larger than that of Jingang, the construction funds and the person in charge ......."

Gao pragmatically said: "The issue of construction funds can be carefully calculated, as for the person in charge, I intend to let the second brother go over, he is the most experienced in doing this now." ”

The second brother is Gao Mengnan, who is currently the commander of the three towns of Guangnan, Annan.

Gao Mo was not very surprised, but asked: "If General Gao goes to Dingnan, what will happen to the three towns of Guangnan?" Now the lord has decided to expand the Jingang garrison, and soon he will include Huaying, Nanpan and Champang, that is, the six towns of Guangnan, and there must be loyal and reliable people to guard them. ”

"Let the service be named Commander-in-Chief." Gao pragmatic said lightly: "Gao Jue was transferred to the commander of the Jingang Garrison, and concurrently served as the deputy commander of the three towns of Guangnan or the six towns of Guangnan; Gao Sijin resigned from his original post in the Jingang Garrison and was promoted to commander of the Thang Long Garrison; Gao Silian served as the commander of the Bago garrison. ”

Gao Mo hurriedly wrote it down, but he wouldn't intervene in this kind of appointment that Gao Shicheng had already decided, he just asked separately: "Gao Sijin and Gao Silian have both made great contributions this time, in addition to promotion, should you consider changing your name?" ”

Gao pragmatic said: "Gao Sijin changed his name to Gao Jin, and Gao Silian changed his name to Gao Lian, I will personally commend this matter." ”

After a pause, he said again: "Who led the garrison under Ruan Huang?" ”

Gao Mo replied: "It's Gao Siwei." ”

Gao Shishi smiled: "It turned out to be him, I gave him this name, I remember that he was the one with the best defensive performance in the internal exercises of the Thang Long Garrison?" It's good, when Dingnan City starts to build, he will establish the Dingnan garrison with his department as the core, how many people are needed, and let him report it to me for review when the time comes. ”

"Speaking of which, the little one happened to ask: How much is the establishment of the Bago garrison?"

Gao pragmatically said: "It's 30,000 now, don't increase it." Zhiting's letter said that after so many years of fighting in Burma, the rich lands of southern Myanmar have been somewhat dilapidated, and if there are too many troops stationed in southern Myanmar, the burden on Jinghua will be too great, and it must first revive the economy, and then consider expanding the army and other things.

To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Zhiting mentioning this, I actually wanted Bago to 'move the capital' to Daguang (Yangon), which is a seaport, which is a little better than Bago's location. Now we can only make a decision, and only repair the port facilities of Daguang, lest in case something happens, the fleet can only temporarily dock on the shore like this time, and the shelter facilities are not complete - Gao Jing also wrote a letter to complain last time. ”

Gao Mo thought for a while and said with a slight surprise: "Garrisons have been set up in Shenglong, Jingang, Dingnan, and Bagu, should we also set up one in Vientiane in the southern country?" ”

Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Don't be in a hurry, just use the southern palm of the Imperial Forest Army for a while, if the matter of Bi Yajue's marriage to Huang Yinglei can be discussed, when they are married, we will do this after Bi Yajue goes to Annan." ”

"Who is the master going to talk about this matter?"

Gao Pragmatic thought for a moment and said, "Biajue, just let Ruan Huang communicate with her, I think Ruan Huang can fool her...... As for Huang Yinglei, I'll let Zhiting talk to him first. In addition, Huang Chengzu will personally write to persuade him. ”

Gao Mo didn't ask any more questions, and simply repeated what he had just written down to Gao Pragmatic, and immediately went down to arrange it after there were no mistakes or omissions.

Gao pragmatic held the book in his right hand, rolled it into a cylinder, patted it in the palm of his left hand, and said to himself: "The negotiation on Liu Shizeng's side should be about the same, right?" ”
