Altan Khan, who has dominated the south of the desert for half a century, has entered the countdown to life, which means that the north will fall into a period of change again.

At such a time, Gao Shishi could no longer stay in Annan with peace of mind, he had to return to Guangxi first, and then leave his post and return to Beijing as soon as the one-year term was up.

Mongolia's affairs, staying in Henan remote control is too far, let alone Annam, thousands of miles away? It is also seen that the Ming Dynasty put the emperor Lao Tzu in Yanjing, the position of "the throat of the big rooster", which is very valuable, at least from the military aspect, and can ensure that the manpower, material and financial resources of the entire empire are inclined to the north.

Therefore, Zhu Di's relocation of the capital is not so much that he is afraid to stay in Nanjing, but that in his eyes, the enemy of the Ming Dynasty is in the north and not in the south.

Afraid?

Does the Yongle Dynasty have an opponent to fear?

Judging from Zhu Di's style as an emperor, he is not even afraid of the emperor's sworn enemy, the civil official group, let alone others.

It's just that he probably didn't expect that Zhu Qizhen's kid would bury the imperial power's restrictive power on the civilian clique in a war.

But then again, even Zhang Fu can die in the civil engineering change, and it is understandable that the head of the Mongols was set as the highest reward in the Ming military exploits.

On May 26, Gao Shishi's birthday, the Annan Metropolitan Command held the largest celebration under Gao Shishi's advice that "no one should exceed the system", which was no less than the grandeur of the "Dayue Emperor's Long Birthday Holy Day" before Gao Shishi's southern expedition.

On this day, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Annam Mo Dynasty gathered in Thang Long City. Early in the morning, he went to the Metropolitan Embassy to pay homage to Mo Maoqia, and then, under the leadership of Mo Maoqia, he went to the Hoan Kiem Lake Annex, which had been built after more than 50 days of urgent work.

Gao Shishi met with all the officials from Annan to the capital envoy and down to the prefects in various places in the square outside the main gate of the annex, and at the same time accepted the congratulatory gifts from the officials of Annan.

Then, of course, it is an important speech or something, which is nothing more than clichés such as "hand in hand side by side" and "one heart and one mind", so I will not repeat them one by one.

Finally, there is the feast - in principle, it cannot be called a feast, and Gao Pragmatism does not use this word, but it seems that the people of Annam understand it this way.

Gao Pragmatic is not afraid that he will be involved because of this, because with his style, the nominal problems are handled properly, and there will never be overstepping, as for the possibility that someone will bully his subordinates and waste people's power or something, he will think about it before it happens - this is to deter Annan Xiaoxiao.

In short, no matter what, Gao Pragmatic had the most solemn birthday in his two lives, and the entire Annan was equivalent to "dropping out of the day" for his birthday.

Not to mention that Mo Jingdian, the king of Qian who was in power before, and Mo Dunrang, the king of Ying, had never enjoyed such treatment, and even Zheng Jian and Zheng Song, who actually controlled the Hou Li Dynasty, did not have such a big pomp.

However, I can also understand Mo Maoqia's thoughts - Gao Pragmatic has made it clear that he will return north at the end of the month, that is, he will leave after his birthday.

In this case, Mo Maoqia, the "Emperor of Dayue" and the commander of Annan, who is quite aware of "being the king of dogs", of course did not hesitate to give more face, and it should be regarded as seeing off the emperor to the north.

Well, it may be similar to say that it is to send the plague god, anyway, it all means the same thing.

Three days later, Gao Pragmatic set off for the north.

The Jiading Guard Regiment, which had been diluted to only 2,000 people, served as the personal guard of the Chinese army, and the Shenglong Garrison sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the Jingxi Town Guard Mansion and the Haidong Town Guard Mansion each dispatched 3,000 elite wolf soldiers, all of which served as high-level and pragmatic escort troops to escort Gao Press back to Guangxi from Taipei.

By the way, Huang Zhiting, the envoy of Haidong Town, also returned north with the army, on the grounds that he returned to Guangxi to arrange for the local people to go south to "move the town".

Of course, she and Cen Ling can't both go back, and they have to stay in Annan, so this time she will go back to Guangxi first, and after she returns to Annan, she will be replaced by Cen Ling to return to Sicheng Prefecture to arrange "moving the town".

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the "town move", the imperial court even made a very rare gesture and ordered an allocation of 200,000 taels to Cen and Huang as the cost of moving the town.

Such a major event as moving the town is equivalent to a large move of the officials, the military, and the people, but it will take hundreds of miles, even thousands of miles, and after the 200,000 taels are divided equally by them, it will be 100,000 taels.

Fortunately, this money was only allocated by the center, and the imperial court also ordered the two localities to cooperate closely with each other, "as needed, not to make a shortage".

Guangxi can't come up with any spare money, and this money is obviously pressed on the head of the unlucky Guangdong, although Guangdong is probably not short of this money, but the anger in Liu Yaozhi's heart can still be imagined.

However, that is not a matter of high pragmatic concern. With the great achievement of pacifying Annan, as long as Liu Yaozhi's brain is not convulsive, he will definitely not find trouble for himself at this juncture.

Although Gao Shishi is nominally a subordinate of him, the governor of Liangguang, things like suppressing subordinates also depend on the specific situation of this subordinate. The governor of the imperial history has the right to supervise and supervise, and his highly pragmatic background is a rare outlier in the world...... What did Liu Yaoyu suppress?

On 6 June, Gao Xun, who had been hurrying all the way, finally crossed the Zhennan Pass and entered Guangxi. The local Tusi of Pingxiang Prefecture set up a banquet to entertain him, but Gao Shishi only stayed in the local area for one night, and continued to return north the next day, arriving at Mingjiang City, the capital of Siming Prefecture, two days later.

Since the rebellion of Huang Gongsheng was pacified, Siming Prefecture is actually the territory of Huang Zhiting's descendants, this time the troops went south, and the wolf soldiers in Siming Prefecture were also worthy of the word "descendants", especially the hundreds of elite soldiers trained by Huang Gongsheng before, and they were assigned to Huang Hu to fight a few tough battles, which was deeply appreciated by Huang Hu.

This time back to Guangxi, Siming Prefecture is also the first state to move a town, and the location of its move town is also the best - it is the Anbang Xuanfu Division, which is rich in coal mines.

Anbang Xuanfu Division is the origin of the word "Haidong" for Huang Zhiting, the envoy of Haidong Town, and it is also the place where she has been based in Annan since then.

Just like Cen Ling chose Xinghua Xuanfu Division as his nest, Anbang, which Huang Zhiting chose in the end, was actually not the foundation place that Gao Pragmatic planned for them to choose. Originally, according to Gao Pragmatic's idea, Cen Ling might choose Thanh Hoa, while Huang Zhiting would have better choose Shannan and Wai Thanh Hoa - in this case, the ground occupied by Jinghua would enclose their territory from the north and south.

Gao Pragmatic didn't think this way out of controlling them, but for the purpose of protection, because in this way, their territory would be connected to Jinghua, and all of them would be close to the sea, which would help them concentrate their forces in case something happened in the future.

But it turned out that the Tusi in Guangxi were all poor, so Cen Ling chose the mining town of Xinghua Xuanfu Division as the town of Jingxi Town Guard, and Huang Zhiting also chose Anbang, which is located in the northeast of Annam, as the town.

Later, Gao pragmatic thought about it and did not refuse, because in this way, although it seems that the power is scattered a little, the Communist Party of Yuebei is about half the size of Guangxi, and where can it be dispersed again?

What's more, as long as the Thang Long garrison does not have an accident, the center of North Vietnam is under its control, which can effectively connect Xinghua and An Bang, ensuring that forces can be concentrated at any time.

As for the three towns of Shannan, Wai Qinghua and Thanh Hoa to the south, they are not handed over to outsiders, and they are still occupied by the surnames Cen and Huang. Even if they take 10,000 steps back and say that they have jumped against each other for something, the Thang Long in the north can easily gather the Thang Long garrison and the descendants of Cen Ling and Huang Zhiting to go south to quell the rebellion.

To the south of Thanh Hoa, it is all Jinghua's territory, with the northernmost Yi'an and Jinghua's military and industrial town of Ha Jing in Annam - this place was renamed by Gao Shipra, because he felt that Ha Jing was not only easy to call, but also had a better meaning.

Ha Tinh is a key part of Jinghua's business, and it is an "industrial city" planned in the manufacture of firearms in Annam, not only all the firearms on the army side are produced here, but even the fleet side and its artillery are also provided by Ha Tinh, so it is bound to be the key point of heavy troops.

Thanh Hoa, Wai Thanh Hoa and Shannan are sandwiched between Thang Long and Ha Tinh, how dare you dare to jump back?

Now Huang Zhiting chose the first Huang clan to move the town to control Siming Prefecture, which is obviously to play an exemplary role, Gao Pragmatic is also very concerned about this matter, so he plans to stay in Mingjiang City for a few days, on the one hand, to help sit in the town - he Gao Zhitai is now also a famous person, regardless of whether he actually fights, at least there is no doubt that his name is loud, with him sitting here, the probability of chaos in Siming Prefecture will be minimized.

However, after some inventory, Gao Pragmatic was secretly a little worried.

Because the population of the entire Siming Mansion is less than 400,000, it is about 3780,000, and although Siming Prefecture is the strongest state in Siming Mansion, the population is only about 80,000.

Although the population of Annan was only about 5 million at this time, according to Gao Shishi, the total population of the Anbang Xuanfu Division was nearly 300,000 - not including the black households near Halong Bay.

This...... 80,000 versus 300,000, even if you go, it seems difficult to say whether you can gain the upper hand.

Huang Zhiting was very confident, and said disdainfully: "The people of Annan are scared, and now there is Jinghua Town, they don't dare to do anything." Besides, there was a lot of land confiscated before, and it was all good land, which was enough for the natives of Siming Prefecture to cultivate. What's more, I personally went to Anbang a few days ago to see that there are still many places that can be reclaimed - the people of Annan are really too lazy to die, if those wastelands are placed in Guangxi, all of them are Shangtian, and they are too lazy to reclaim! ”

Gao pragmatic laughed, the native people of Annam are lazy, he has long known this, even in later generations, it seems that the more Vietnamese people are of Chinese ancestry, the more diligent they are, for unknown reasons, maybe it is an education problem - whatever.

"I have an idea to make you more people, huh...... This method will also be implemented in the Haiyang Xuanfu Division controlled by Jinghua, do you want to listen? ”

Huang Zhiting asked: "Is that the joint production contract responsibility system?" ”

"That's one thing, and there's another aspect related to household registration."

Huang Zhiting was a little surprised and asked, "If you want to listen, you have to listen, come on!" ”
