Qi Jin casually flipped through the information in his hand. His face was completely expressionless. That was because according to the information, the Annan Command had been destroyed.
It had been annihilated several times. Two Annan Commanders had died in succession. Basically, there was no one left. The officials, eunuchs, and members of the royal family were all killed.
However, it was not all gone. There was still one person who was relatively strong. This person was Duhou Prince Mo Jinggong. Now, he was the nominal king of the Mo Dynasty.
Of course, this king was not recognized by the Daming. In the past, the Daming had no time or energy. He was a barbarian outside of civilization. No one would care if he called himself a king. However, this time, it was different. How could he let him call himself that?
It was either be the Annan Commander of the Daming or die. Qi Jin did not have any psychological pressure.
This time, Qi Jin was very clear about what His Majesty sent him to do. He would not waste his energy to do other things.
"The person who went to Guangxi to deliver the edict should be arriving soon. At that time, there will be no need to worry too much about the land." Qi Jin sighed.
While Qi Jin was sighing, the Governor of Guangxi and Guangxi did come to deliver the edict. This made the Governor of Guangxi and Guangxi, Chen Ju, a little confused.
Although the Governor of Guangxi and Guangxi had a high official position, the two were too remote. In such a place, the imperial court's documents were slow. Chen Ju could not remember how long it had been since he received an imperial edict.
Although he had the same name as Eunuch Chen of the Department of Rites, the treatment of the two was different.
Chen Ju was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing. He was first appointed as the Prefect of Hangzhou. He was then the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War and was in charge of the military affairs of Guangxi and Guangxi.
From Chen Ju's resume, it could be seen that he was a civil official with military talent. At the same time, Chen Ju also served as the Governor of Guizhou. It could be said that he had been in Nanjiang for more than ten years. He was very familiar with Nanjiang.
Under such circumstances, it was basically difficult for Chen Ju to change his official position.
When Chen Ju saw the person who came to deliver the decree, he was slightly stunned. It was not because he did not know this person. In fact, it was normal for him not to know him.
After all, Chen Ju had been in the south for many years. How could he know the people in the capital, especially the eunuchs in the palace?
More importantly, it wasn't just a young eunuch who had come to deliver the edict. There was also a General, and there were a dozen or so people behind the General. They were all valiant soldiers with excellent equipment.
Under such circumstances, Chen Ju couldn't help but wonder if they were here to capture him.
But at this time, Chen Ju also knew that it was useless to worry. It was better to listen to the imperial edict!
The eunuch quickly read the imperial edict, and the expression on Chen Ju's face immediately became interesting.
Of course, this imperial edict was not to capture him, but to order him to dispatch troops. It wanted him to dispatch troops out of Guangxi and directly enter the Annan Command Office.
He didn't know what would happen next. It wanted him to enter the Annan Command Office, occupy Lang Shan, and then put on a posture of continuing to attack in Lang Shan.
Lang Shan was an important place in the north of Annan. It was not only the transportation hub of the north of Annan, but also the gateway to the capital Rising Dragon Mansion. If they wanted to use troops in Annan, Lang Shan was the key.
If they defended it, they could block the enemy in the Yuebei Mountains.
If they captured it, they could go straight to the Rising Dragon Mansion.
Since ancient times, when the dynasty of the Central Plains took Jiaozhi from the south, Lang Shan was a place that they had to pass through.
The purpose of the imperial court asking him to send troops to Lang Shan was obvious. It was to use troops against Annan.
He didn't hear that the imperial court had such a battle strategy!
If it weren't for the other party's documents and identity, Chen Ju would have suspected that these people were falsely delivering the imperial edict.
The imperial court wanted to attack Annan, but why?
If it was Yang Yinglong, it was reasonable for him to send troops to help. But what was the matter with attacking Annan?
Chen Ju couldn't figure it out.
However, Chen Ju also knew that the imperial court didn't give him a chance to refuse this time, because the young man who came with the eunuch was called Wu Weiying, with the title of Earl.
Wu Weiying came to command the battle this time. There were also 10,000 elites following Wu Weiying. It was obvious that the imperial court was serious.
The Imperial Edict also emphasized that the Imperial Court wanted him to deploy the Wolf Soldiers. Chen Ju knew that the Wolf Soldiers weren't actually called Wolf Soldiers, they were called Drumming Soldiers. However, because of their bravery in battle, they were called Wolf Soldiers.
The Chi Soldiers were the troops formed by the Chi people, who were the ancestors of the Zhuang people in later generations. They and the troops of the Tu clan chieftains were called the Wolf Soldiers.
This time, the imperial court wanted him to deploy the Wolf Soldiers and the soldiers of Guangdong and Guangxi to follow Wu Weiying to attack Annan.
Compared to Chen Ju, Wu Weiying knew more things. The imperial court wanted to occupy Lang Mountain. No matter what happened in the next war in Annan, the imperial court had to occupy Lang Mountain and build a city in Lang Mountain to block the passage to Annan.
At that time, the imperial court could attack and defend. As long as the army was stationed in Lang Mountain, the restoration of Annan would be under the Daming's attack at any time.
Such an important strategic position naturally had to be taken. Moreover, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. It could be said that it was a place where one man could hold the pass against ten thousand enemies.
Although Chen Ju didn't know the specific strategy of the imperial court, it didn't hinder Chen Ju's cooperation.
After receiving the imperial edict, the eunuch left, while Wu Weiying stayed. Chen Ju began to deploy troops. In addition to the Wolf Soldiers, Chen Ju also dispatched 15,000 troops from Guangdong and Guangxi to Wu Weiying.
Including the Wolf Soldiers, Wu Weiying had a total of more than 30,000 people, which was called an army of 100,000.
After gathering the troops, Wu Weiying set off with her people. Their destination was Lang Mountain of the Annan Command.
At the same time, Qi Jin also landed with his fleet. The place where he landed was Hai Fang City in the future.
There was a reason why Qi Jin chose to land here. After landing here, the army could go straight to Hai Yang along Hai Fang City. According to Qi Jin's intelligence, Mo Yuche found Mo Jinggong, the younger brother of Mo Jinggong, and supported him as the new emperor in Wenlan Province. The forces that supported Mo Jinggong in Hai Yang and Bei Jing successively led their troops to submit.
After receiving this intelligence, Qi Jin's first target was Hai Yang. Since Mo Jinggong had already proclaimed himself as the emperor, Qi Jin wouldn't indulge his bad habit.
If Mo Jinggong didn't know what was good for him, Qi Jin was prepared to kill Mo Jinggong first and then support an obedient person. If both of them were disobedient, then they would all be killed.
Anyway, there was still Li Chao's people. If that didn't work, then they would all be killed.
If both of them were disobedient, then they would all be killed.
It wasn't difficult for the army to land. For Qi Jin, this wasn't a problem, and the Daming Imperial Navy was already used to it.
The 50,000 infantry quickly landed and then quickly assembled on the shore. Qi Jin wasn't in a hurry to advance. Instead, he set up camp on the shore and sent people to capture people.
Well-informed people would be the best, and officials would be even better. They would capture Qi Jin and interrogate him. Although they had information on hand, the information on the battlefield had to be timely. Qi Jin needed to quickly understand the current situation.
