"I'm not a king, or even a guest general, but I don't dare to live in this big palace."

Liu Xin smiled and refused Musari's kindness, glanced at the Geeta I, who was less than forty years old, and asked, "Does he know Chinese?" ”

Musali was slightly stunned and shook his head: "I'm afraid not." ”

"Oh, okay." Liu Xin said casually: "You tell him, just say that this big palace will be returned to him for the time being, but our army will take over the defense, and he can't leave the palace until Gao Gongbao or Mrs. Gao sends a new order." ”

Musali was stunned when he heard this, and hesitated: "Jinghua Group wants to keep the Kingdom of Cambodia?" ”

Liu Xin looked at him, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "This matter is neither for me to decide, nor for you to hear." ”

Musali's heart was shocked, and Liu Xin had already continued: "General Musali, since you have met General Ruan Huang, you should know that he also took the initiative to surrender in the past, and you can also see what his current status is. A glimpse of the whole leopard, I don't think you will doubt the elegance of Gao Gong Bao, the only thing I can remind you at the moment is...... There is a give-and-take. ”

Mu Sali's heart moved, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you General Liu for your kindness, Mu is grateful." It's just that Mu Mouhua is a foreigner, stupid and vulgar, I wonder if General Liu can guide more carefully? ”

Liu Xin smiled and said noncommittally: "General Mu is too modest. Then after a pause, the conversation had changed: "Regarding the arrangement of the Phnom Penh garrison, I think it's time to discuss, General Mu can talk about it at this moment?" ”

Musali was relieved to hear this, because although he must have been polite, at least he did treat him as a "surrender" rather than a "surrender".

People respect me, I respect people. Musali's paternal lineage is Han in the end, but he also knows this truth, and when he heard this, he immediately surrendered his hand and said: "How dare you, the last general is willing to listen to General Liu's orders." ”

Liu Xin didn't take him seriously as the "last general", after all, her own identity was only a guest general, neither a general of the Ming Dynasty, nor a member of Jinghua.

She was able to command this operation, on the one hand, Liu Jiajun was her family's family, and she commanded as the eldest lady; On the other hand, the Jingang garrison is at the disposal of Gao Pragmatic's token, and the specific authority is granted by Huang Zhiting - in the final analysis, this power comes from Gao Pragmatic's owner.

And Musali, before he surrendered to Cheng, he was the general of the northwest of the Kingdom of Cambodia, in fact, the first powerful person in the Cambodian army, although he is now surrendering, but how to arrange him, that is also a decision that can only be made by Gao Pragmatic couple, Liu Xin has no intention of overstepping his authority.

Of course, the actual situation is in front of us, the two sides have been "exchanged hosts and guests", as the chief general of the Jinghua expeditionary army, Liu Xin certainly has the power to arrange the city defense of Phnom Penh, she just said that, it is indeed just polite - maybe she also does not want to cause accidents because of inconsiderate words.

"Okay, General Mu is really reasonable and understands the righteousness. That being the case, Liu said it bluntly. ”

Mu Sali smiled and bowed slightly, but secretly said in his heart: This General Liu really speaks like a man, even claiming to be self-proclaimed, I heard that her family is the top general of the Ming Dynasty, this girl is afraid that she grew up in the army since she was a child? Otherwise, if you don't talk about "slave family", you should be a "girl".

Liu Xin didn't care about Mu Sali's thoughts, and really said directly: "I mean, the palace is guarded by my own soldiers, and my line is located in the big mansion next to the palace, and the inner city is handed over to the Jingang garrison." As for the outer city, the four city gates were guarded by the garrison, and General Mu's subordinates, including the Imperial Forest Army, stayed in the large camp in the city for the time being, waiting for the next order from Deputy Commander Huang...... What does General Mu think? ”

Musali had expected this, but he didn't feel too disgusted, but he hesitated slightly, and frowned: "The 20,000 people under the command of the last general can be guaranteed, but the Imperial Forest Army ...... This army is not led by the last general, and the whole army may not be subject to the last general, so if you arrange it like this, you are afraid that it will only ......"

Liu Xin's pupils shrank, but his tone was light, and said, "What does General Mu mean is that this Imperial Forest Army is difficult to master, and it may even be a source of chaos?" ”

Musali smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to hide it from General Liu, the last general is indeed worried about this." ”

Liu Xin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, it's better to take precautions than to make amends." It seems that although the battle of Phnom Penh went well, it is still necessary to see blood......"

Musali hesitated slightly, but finally asked, "Do you need the help of the last general at this time?" ”

Liu Xin shook his head and said, "There is no need for this matter, but there is another matter that needs General Mu's assistance, of course...... Presumably General Mu would be happy to help with that. ”

Musali's heart moved, but his tone did not fluctuate, but he just smiled and said, "Oh? But I don't know what General Liu is referring to? ”

Liu Xin looked at Geeta I and the others who were tied aside, and said lightly: "Distinguish between the enemy and me." ”

A big stone fell to the ground in Musali's heart, and he felt a little grateful to Liu Xin, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Thank you General Liu for your kindness, the last general is grateful, and I will do my best to assist the general and identify the loyalty, treachery, and foolishness as soon as possible." ”

The reason why he is grateful is because Liu Xin's move is tantamount to helping him clean up his political enemies. Although it is not clear what will happen to the Kingdom of Cambodia in the future, he has betrayed the king and the Manchu dynasty in this way today, and his reputation in Cambodia is afraid to be completely stinky.

In this way, if he doesn't purge a wave of ruthlessly, if Jinghua also copies the Annan model in Cambodia in the future, then he will have too many political enemies. Even under the Annan model, these people may not really be able to hold any power, but if the ants bite the elephant to death, it will definitely bring him a lot of trouble at that time.

What's more, if these people keep reporting to Jinghua in the future, even if it is all slander, sooner or later there may be trouble. In this way, purging some of the diehards in advance is not only to get rid of hidden dangers first, but also to set an example for chickens and monkeys.

Liu Xin saw that he had comprehended, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "I will let the three commanders of the garrison and General Mu talk about the specific matters, and Liu will prepare a military report to submit to Dingnan, so I will leave first." ”

Musari hurriedly said: "The last general sends the general." ”

Liu Xin waved his hand as he walked: "No need, you stay here to arrange for the Cambodian monarchs, the three commanders of the garrison can't even find where your majesty's sleeping palace is." ”

Musali immediately stopped, bowed and said, "Yes, the last general will take the order." ”

------------------------------

Five days later, in the city of Dingnan.

At this time, Dingnan is actually a bit difficult to define whether it can be regarded as a "city", because it is more like a huge construction site at this time.

There are probably only two places that have actually built some shapes. One is the port, and the other is the high house.

The port is called Dingnan Port, but Gaofu has another name, and there are quite a few nicknames.

Many people privately refer to the high mansion of Dingnan City as the "Siam Regent's Mansion", referred to as the "Regent's Mansion"; There are also people who have read a little bit of the book that this high mansion is actually "Tai'an Palace".

Tai'an Palace, in fact, is Da'an Palace, is a palace in the Tang Dynasty, this palace was originally named Hongyi Palace. After the Xuanwumen Incident on June 4 of the ninth year of Wude, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan passed on his son Li Shimin and called him the emperor. In the third year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taishang Li Yuan migrated from Taiji Palace to Hongyi Palace and changed its name to Tai'an Palace.

Originally, this palace was built in the fifth year of Wude, when it was a separate palace built by Li Yuan for Li Shimin, the king of Qin, "on the fifth day of July in the fifth year of Wude, the camp Hongyi Palace, to July of the ninth year, Gaozu took the Hongyi Palace with beautiful scenery of mountains and forests, and the ...... of elegance"

Those who have read it in Dingnan City call Gaofu "Tai'an Palace", which probably comes from the meaning of "the residence of the emperor". However, later there were also rumors that there was a metaphor of "King Qin's early palace", which meant something, which was different.

However, whether it is the "Emperor Taishang" or the "King of Qin", it is just a folk talk anyway, and the Gao Gongbao who can hope to be the "Emperor Taishang" or "King of Qin" is thousands of miles away at this time, and he has not even been here at all.

All of them here are his wife, Huang Zhiting, the deputy commander of the Annan Metropolitan Envoy.

Huang Zhiting's belly is already very big, and according to the time, it may take about ten days and half a month to give birth.

Her previous morning sickness was really not light, she vomited at every turn, and sometimes she felt that she was about to vomit out all the bitter gall, and she was in a very bad mood. But after Gao Shishi sent several famous teachers and apprentices from the Department of Medicine of the Craftsman School, her situation was much better, mainly because she adjusted her diet at their suggestion, changing three meals a day to eating less and more often, eating eight or nine meals a day, but only eating a little at a time, supplemented by the adjustment of recipes.

According to a highly pragmatic understanding, the adjustment is to increase the protein supplement, and by the way, a lot of light soups have been added, and nuts such as walnuts have been added. Gao Pragmatic also felt that these adjustments made sense, because he had the impression that pregnant women in later generations would generally be advised by doctors in this way.

Huang Zhiting's health is really good, after spending the early period of drowsiness, the next three or four months are almost no different from normal people - except for the sharp belly.

According to her own half-joking complaint to the people around her, it is, "Give me an amusement car, and I can even lead troops to battle." ”

Most of the dignitaries in Dingnan City are either high-level pragmatic family members or servants of her Huang family, of course, it is impossible to lead troops to the battle, and no one dares to let her do this - who can afford to take care of something really happening?

So although Huang Zhiting felt good about herself, she was still confined to Gaofu and could not go out, even if she couldn't stay still, she was only allowed to go to the harbor for a walk.

This "power" was given to those female doctors by Gao Pragmatic.

However, the doctors only limited her range of activities and time, and in addition to this, Huang Zhiting still handled all kinds of affairs in southern Xinjiang normally, made many decisions on behalf of Gao Shipra, or forwarded some problems to Bai Yulou.

On this day, Huang Zhiting, who had recently been asked by the doctors to recuperate and not summon more of his subordinates, rarely summoned several important people in Dingnan City to come to the Gao Mansion to discuss matters.

In order not to affect Huang Zhiting's recuperation as much as possible, the senior Chinese officials of Dingnan, including Gao Mengnan, the former governor of the three towns of Annan, made an appointment to come together and meet him at the "Golden Ao Pavilion" in Gaofu.

Although Gao Mengnan is the adopted son of the Gao family, but today, the rise of the sixth house of the Gao family has become a general trend, and Gao Mengnan himself has served under Gao Shishi's name for many years, so although he is an "uncle", he also visits the housewife as a subordinate.

However, Huang Zhiting treated him very favorably, not only gave him a seat, but also made a slight gesture of getting up to greet him - of course, Gao Mengnan must not dare to sit down, and asked her to sit down again and again.

After all, in this huge southern Xinjiang, only Huang Zhiting is the person who is entrusted with the overall situation by Gao Pragmatic, and the others, including Gao Mengnan, have their own responsibilities, and what Huang Zhiting wants to talk about today is Cambodia's business. Theoretically, none of the participants had the right to interfere.

And the reason why it is said to "go through the procedure" is because everything in southern Xinjiang is now based on Annan and Siam as the center, and Huang Zhiting also needs these Jinghua dignitaries who used to work in Annan and are now transferring west to Siam to give her reference.

Today's topic boils down to one thing: Cambodia's post-war resettlement.

Of course, the breakdown of this topic is complicated, but the most important ones are those few articles, and the most basic of them is whether the Kingdom of Cambodia will be retained.

When this question was raised, Gao Mengnan was stunned.

Because as far as he knows, Gao Pragmatic had planned a long time ago, and there was no difference between the Kingdom of Cambodia and Annam, Siam, Nanzhang and other countries, and it must be retained, and then Jinghua would set up the royal family according to the Annan model and govern on his behalf.

But one of the issues that Huang Zhiting came up with today is "whether to keep the Kingdom of Cambodia", which is too unexpected - is it the truth-seeking change of opinion, or the younger daughter-in-law known as Mulan in southern Xinjiang suddenly has a new idea?

Gao Mengnan looked around, except for him, the rest were either the chief and deputy commanders of the Dingnan Garrison, or Huang Hu, the commander of the "Annan Cooperative Defense Army", in short, they were all military people, and he was the only one who was a "civil minister".

In other words, Huang Zhiting actually came almost exclusively to ask for his opinion, no wonder the courtesies just now were different.

Gao Mengnan thought for a moment and asked in a deep voice: "As far as I know, the plan for Cambodia in the past was not intended to erase the Cambodian royal family...... Pardon me, but because of what other changes? ”

"Uncle don't worry too much, it's not that something has changed. On the contrary, the news from Cambodia was very good, even exceeding the concubine's previous expectations. As she spoke, she beckoned slightly, and her own maid presented the military newspaper, not only Gao Mengnan, but the rest of you also got a copy of the military newspaper.

Gao Mengnan quickly finished reading it, and was also a little surprised: "This is really unexpected, before the war, we thought that the two cities of Kampong Qingyang and Phnom Penh, which would be the most difficult to fight, were actually won without blood?" This Miss Liu really has some way, and this credit is amazing......"

Huang Zhiting smiled slightly: "Miss Liu's merits and concubines don't dare to make decisions, so they have to ask the humble husband to decide, but what the concubine wants to say is that since Cambodia is in such a situation now, is it still necessary to maintain this kingdom?" ”
