My life skills in Daming Liver

Chen Kan held the token of the Mu family, Duke of Guizhou, and crossed the border between Vietnam and Annan.

Chen Kan rushed to Jincheng, the capital of the Northern Mo Dynasty, without stopping.

When the Mo Dynasty was the most powerful, Shenglong Mansion was under the control of the Mo Dynasty. However, as Hou Li gradually rose under the control of the Zheng family, the generals of the Mo Dynasty, Li Boli and Wu Wenmi, turned against the Mo Dynasty.

Mo Dengyong, the founding "Emperor" of the Mo Dynasty, died of illness shortly after he proclaimed himself emperor. The Mo Dynasty clan began to fight among themselves. It was not until the current "Emperor" Mo Fuyuan of the Mo Dynasty ascended the throne that the situation stabilized.

However, after the rise of the southeast, the Mo Dynasty was threatened by the north and the south, and became increasingly panicked. So it sent envoys to get the support of the Ming court, and took the initiative to change the title of emperor and only call himself King Annan.

After losing Shenglong Mansion, Mo Fuyuan, King of Northern Mo'an South, fled to Jincheng and made it his capital.

On the front line, Mo Jingdian, the general of the Northern Mo clan, was left to lead his troops to defend.

Chen Kan brought the token of the Duke of Guizhou, and the Yunnan Mu family was also famous throughout the Indochina Peninsula and could represent the Ming court to a certain extent.

Chen Kan was warmly welcomed by the King of North Mo'annan, who treated him as a distinguished guest and invited him to the "King City" to participate in the banquet.

Chen Kan looked at this simple palace made of wood and felt a little disgusted in his heart. How dare these Annan people call themselves kings and emperors?

Mo Fuyuan, the king of North Mo'an and South, was short in stature and looked a bit wretched. He attached great importance to Chen Kan and placed him next to him, drinking with him affectionately.

When the banquet was over, Mo Fuyuan took Chen Kan's hand and said:

"Your Majesty Mingjian, I am not willing to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty. I just want to be protected by the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Kan understood what Mo Fuyuan was thinking. On the one hand, this Mo Dynasty was also a powerful official usurping the throne. Before the Ming Dynasty, they did not recognize their legitimacy.

Now that Mo Fuyuan has lost Shenglong Mansion and faces the enemy in the southeast of Guangxi in the north, he naturally hopes to get support from the Ming court.

The Ming Dynasty still had great influence in Annan. As long as it could be canonized by the Ming court, it would mean it had a certain degree of legitimacy.

And Mo Fuyuan is also aware of the current situation of Southeast Asia and the Ming Dynasty competing for hegemony. He also hid some Yao leaders who fled from Guangxi to Annan, and incorporated some Yao troops from Guangxi, hoping to use this bargaining chip to get some from the Ming Dynasty. assistance.

But Chen Kan is not a fool. He came to Beimo just to use these Annan people as knives to hold back Guangxi's southeastern new army.

If the Beimo people can really fight, then the Duke of Guizhou will naturally not be stingy with some material support.

Chen Kan deliberately said: "Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to the order of inheritance. The previous monarchs of your country obtained the throne from King Li. This is not something that the court cannot admit. The fault lies in the fact that the previous monarchs of your country arrogated the title of emperor. .”

Mo Fuyuan immediately gave up and said: "The little king has already taken the imperial title. He just wants to be canonized by King Annan."

Chen Kan said: "It is our practice in the Ming Dynasty. How can we be knighted without military merit?"

Mo Fuyuan said understandingly: "Your envoy will stay here for a few days, and we will get the news in a few days."

Chen Kan stayed in Jincheng, which was not far from the border. Sure enough, in early February, he received news that the 23 Yao villages in Guangxi had once again rebelled against the southeast!

Mo Fuyuan summoned Chen Kan again and asked proudly: "What do you think, your envoy?"

Chen Kan immediately understood that the Guangxi rebellion was the work of Mo Fuyuan, but he added, "But can these Yao villages succeed?"

Mo Fuyuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, these Yao village leaders are all very prestigious leaders in Guangxi. They fled to our country to avoid trouble. In order to help them, I can spend a lot of money this time."

It can be said that Mo Fuyuan spent a lot of money in order to get Mingting's support this time.

The Annan Peninsula is similar to the Japanese country, with a long and narrow coastline, so it is easily influenced by merchants.

In fact, when Mo Chao and Hou Li were fighting for hegemony, they had already used muskets and artillery purchased from Western merchants.

Annan's specialty sugar is a highly valuable commodity all over the world, so although Beimo is now in dire straits, he still has a lot of money on hand.

Mo Fuyuan spent a lot of money this time and gave all the firearms used on the front line of Shenglong Mansion to these Yao leaders who fled into Mo Dynasty.

These Yao people were originally fierce and aggressive, but after receiving Mo Chao's support, they became even more unscrupulous and immediately led their tribesmen back to Guangxi.

Mo Fuyuan is not a fool. If Bei Mo ends up on his own, it will give Southeast a reason to start a war.

His wishful thinking was very good. He funded these Yao leaders and allowed them to return to Guangxi to start a rebellion, and he could also get benefits from the Ming Dynasty.

If Southeast is willing to give benefits, then Mo Fuyuan is also willing to cut off the supplies of these Yao rebels, hand over his family to Southeast, and help Southeast suppress the Yao rebels who fled into Annan.

Chen Kan knew very well what these Annan people thought. They always wanted money from both ends.

But if Mo Fuyuan can really contain the new southeastern army in Guangxi, then the Yunnan Guizhou Government will not be stingy in increasing assistance.

Mo Fuyuan thought of letting these Yao leaders make trouble first, then taking them in after they were defeated, and then asked for another sum of money from the southeast.

Chen Kan also wanted to use the Annan people to contain the new southeastern army.

As a thug, the leader of the Yao people, relying on Mo Fuyuan's assistance, wants to regain his village and continue to be the local king of Guangxi.

Everyone's plan was good, but they did not include Guangxi's new southeastern army.

Qi Jiguang was training troops in Guangxi and didn't even take a break during the Chinese New Year.

He ate and lived with the soldiers in the military camp, and taught junior officers step by step how to carry out instructions and how to lead the soldiers in combat.

Qi Jiguang led his troops harshly, but with clear rewards and punishments. The soldiers respected and feared him.

During this period of rapid development of military theory and technology, Qi Jiguang was also absorbing advanced military concepts from the Southeast.

He also accepted the staff system proposed by Su Ze. The Sixth Southeast Brigade he organized and trained also had a staff office under the brigade headquarters.

However, Qi Jiguang's requirements for his staff officers were not only to formulate combat plans before the war and maintain logistical supplies during the war, but also required his staff officers to become military judges and supervise and inspect the military merits of each battalion and company under the Sixth Brigade.

At the same time, Qi Jiguang also asked these staff officers to learn the skills of managing civil affairs. During combat, he would send these staff officers to the grassroots companies to assist the company commander in formulating combat plans.

News of another rebellion in the Twenty-Three Yao Villages reached Qi Jiguang's ears, and he immediately announced the departure of the Sixth Brigade.

At this time, the ability of a mature general is demonstrated.

While Qi Jiguang was training his troops, he also carefully examined the mountains and geography of Guangxi. He quickly realized that the terrain of Guangxi was actually similar to that of southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, where he presided over the anti-Japanese war.

This is a mountainous area. Back then, Japanese pirates were able to plunder in northern Zhejiang and southern Fujian. Those Japanese pirates who landed from the sea would flee into the mountains when the official troops arrived, and then go down the mountain again when the official troops left.

Faced with this relatively mobile enemy, Qi Jiguang also summarized a set of tactics.

He first set up granaries and armories in the more important areas of Guangxi, and also specially trained a group of packmen and horse teams to be responsible for the supply of the army.

On the other hand, Qi Jiguang also asked Wang Daokun, the governor of Guangxi, to bribe some Yao village leaders and let them serve as leaders and informants, forming an intelligence network covering the mountainous areas of Guangxi.

After the leaders of the twenty-three Yao villages returned to Guangxi, the news that they were preparing to rebel was sent to the desks of Wang Daokun and Qi Jiguang.

As a result, while they were still plotting to take action, Qi Jiguang had already ordered his troops to march quickly to the Guangxi border with only a small amount of supplies.

Qi Jiguang provided supplies at military stations along the way and allowed the soldiers to advance lightly, so when they arrived at the border, the entire Sixth Brigade was still in high morale and not overly fatigued from the long march.

By the time the leaders of the twenty-three Yao villages made blood alliances and raised the banner of rebellion, Qi Jiguang had already asked each battalion to go up the mountain, led by informants lurking in each village, and raided these Yao villages preparing for rebellion overnight.

Chen Kan had just received the news of the rebellion of the leaders of the twenty-three Yao villages in Jincheng, and then the news that Qi Jiguang quickly put down the rebellion and led the 6th Brigade of the Southeast New Army into Beimo on the grounds of pursuing the leaders of the rebellious Yao people.

Now Mo Fuyuan, the king of Northern Mo'annan, was completely panicked. He quickly summoned Chen Kan. When he saw Chen Kan, he cried and said: "Your Majesty, save me!"

Chen Kan was also speechless for a while. Mo Fuyuan was still full of confidence a few days ago, but why did he kneel down so quickly.

But Chen Kan was also shocked that the Sixth Brigade of the Guangxi New Army moved so fast.

It only took a few days to put out the rebellion of twenty-three Yao village leaders.

You must know that the Yao people in Guangxi are as fierce as the chieftains in Yunnan, and they are supported by Beimo with firearms, and even have a few artillery pieces.

Even so, they failed to create any waves in Guangxi. Instead, Qi Jiguang found an excuse to send troops and quickly led his troops to invade Annan.

Chen Kan was also afraid, but fortunately he persuaded the Duke of Guizhou, and Yunnan did not end directly.

The top priority now is naturally to have Mo Fuyuan contain Guangxi, and Bei Mo must not be allowed to fall all at once.

Chen Kan took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, where is your army?"

Mo Fuyuan said in a panic: "The army in the north cannot stop the new southeastern army at all. Our elite troops are all on the front line of Shenglongfu in the south."

Chen Kan immediately said: "Withdraw!"

"What!"

Mo Fuyuan immediately said: "No! If we withdraw the army, Hou Li will definitely take advantage of it! Then I will be in danger!"

Chen Kan shook his head and said: "Now if the king does not withdraw his troops from the front, then the king's territory will not be able to be defended."

"The commander-in-chief of the new southeastern army is Qi Jiguang. The characteristic of using troops is speed."

Mo Fuyuan widened his eyes and said, "But Qi Jiguang who fought against the Japanese in the southeast of Shangguo?"

Chen Kan glanced at Mo Fuyuan and nodded.

At this time, Mo Fuyuan no longer hesitated and said immediately: "Order! Pass on this king's order and ask General Mo Jingdian to lead him back to King Qin of Jincheng immediately!"

Chen Kan looked at Mo Fuyuan in confusion. He had prepared a lot of words to persuade the Northern Mo King, but he didn't expect him to be so obedient.

Mo Fuyuan said with a grimace: "Your Majesty doesn't know that General Qi is very famous throughout Annan and Southeast Asia."

"?"

"Back then, General Qi pacified the Japanese in the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates who plundered the southeast went south to Nanyang and became a huge problem in the Southeast Asia. Now Srivijaya has been destroyed by these Japanese pirates who went south. Palembang and Malacca are also controlled by these pirates. We The coast of Annan was also frequently infested by these pirates.”

"General Qi was able to chase the Japanese pirates back then. He must have been a very experienced soldier!"

Chen Kan also did not expect that Qi Jiguang's reputation was so great in Annan and Nanyang. He did not expect that the Japanese pirates who could not survive on the southeastern coast would be able to destroy a maritime power like Srivijaya in Nanyang, and even disturb the peace of the entire Nanyang.

The Japanese pirates who were beaten violently by Qi Jiguang came to Nanyang and became kings and hegemons. Then Qi Jiguang personally led the troops. Naturally, Mo Fuyuan knelt down very quickly.

Chen Kan said: "My lord, please don't worry. The Li Dynasty is a vassal state that has been ennobled by our Ming Dynasty and pays tribute to our Ming Dynasty."

"Now that the thieves from the southeast have entered Annam, the ambition of the wolf is clearly revealed. The knowledgeable people in the Li Dynasty will also understand the truth of the death of lips and cold teeth."

"I am willing to go south to Li Dynasty and persuade the leader of Li to temporarily suspend the war between the two countries and deal with the southeastern thieves together first."

Upon hearing that Chen Kan had volunteered to go to Li Chao to mediate, Mo Fuyuan immediately said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Just when Qi Jiguang sent his troops south.

Mingting, capital.

After the beginning of spring, the various forces suppressed by Zhang Juzheng were ready to take action again as something changed.

That was the emperor's physical condition.

There have been too many plots lately, and I'm a little out of sorts.

The speed will be increased tomorrow, so I won’t ask for votes today.
