Chapter 34: Li Sicheng

This night, Thang Long was another bloody night.

In Thang Long City, the sound of shouting and killing lasted all night.

And Wang Yu read silently all night in the lobby of the post station, but none of them really came to the post station, and the Annan soldiers who guarded the post station seemed to be missing.

It's just that overnight, Annan has changed hands.

In the Annam Palace, the two ministers, Ding Lie and Ruan Chi, took their respective families and stepped on blood into the Yamato Palace.

There is no mistake in writing, it is the Taihe Palace.

Annan learned from the Ming Dynasty system in many institutions, and the Forbidden City in Beijing was participated in by a large number of Annam craftsmen, so the Annam Imperial Palace is very similar to the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace in form.

It's just that at this moment, on the square in front of the Taihe Palace, corpses are all over the field, and there is blood.

Li Yishan held a long sword in his hand, looking at the two ministers and the armor soldiers behind him, there were no two or three guards around him.

At this moment, he was like crazy, and said: "Lonely is the son of heaven, how dare you, how dare you -----?"

The two ministers scorned, and with a wave of their hands, a large number of people took Li Yishan down, and Li Yishan naturally had the opportunity to commit suicide, but he only raised his sword, but he did not wipe his neck neatly after all.

The slightest hesitation deprived him of the opportunity to commit suicide.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, King Jia's character is precious, elegant and lofty, and he always takes the king of the world. He is the best candidate for the new king. Ding Lie said.

Ruan Chi heard Ding Lie say this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to understand something, and said, "What Ding Gong said is extremely true. ”

After the two bigwigs reached a consensus.

Naturally, he sent someone to invite King Jia, that is, Li Sicheng.

Li Sicheng naturally did not agree, so after three invitations, Li Sicheng finally agreed.

Big things are coming, and everything is simple.

Therefore, Li Sicheng takes next year as the first year of prosperity. Take all the rewards of the king of Yishan, and the son of Taizong will be spared death and exiled. Of course, King Yishan did not pass the first year of Guangshun, that is, the twenty-fifth year of Ming orthodoxy.

Within a few days, Li Sicheng rewarded the meritorious heroes, encouraged loyalty, summoned foreign ministers, and restarted Enke, but within dozens of days, the inside and outside of Annam were stabilized.

In history, King Yishan usurped the throne for more than 280 days, but now it is less than 200 days.

Li Sicheng was busy with internal and external affairs, and he didn't bother to care about the Ming envoy, so he hung Wang Yu for dozens of days.

However, it can no longer be dried.

Without him, because the Zhengdan Dynasty is coming.

Almost all the systems of Annam were copied from the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, the first Zhengdan Dynasty decided to do it, and if it was done well, it was naturally impossible or lacking for the Ming envoys.

It is also a very tricky trouble for Li Sicheng to explain the threat of people.

Therefore, he handled it wisely.

He summoned Wang Yu and said: "The small country is unfortunate, and some family ugliness makes the kingdom laugh." I heard that the envoy came to canonize the rebellion, and now that the rebellion has lost his position, please ask the envoy to go back to Beijing. Report to Your Majesty on the situation here. I beg Your Majesty to re-canonize it. ”

"Of course, it's not that small countries don't know the rules."

Li Sicheng called a minister over.

This envoy's name is Nguyen Sheng, who is a relative of the minister Nguyen Chi, and he is also a young talent and rising star in Annam.

The Nguyen family is a big family in Annam, and it is the Nguyen family that has been established in place of the Li Dynasty in history.

When Wang Yu saw this person, he was also dignified, knowledgeable, and full of poetry and books at first glance. After the two saluted each other. Li Sicheng said: "Xiao Wang Xinli, it is the time to send envoys to meet the emperor, this is Xiao Wang's envoys, please go to Beijing with him." ”

"Please also ask your envoy to say a few kind words in Beijing, Xiao Wang is naturally grateful."

Immediately, there were two more gift lists for Wang Yu to look at.

A gift list is naturally from the Emperor Chaohe, Wang Yu did not look closely, but he also saw that there are many valuable things in it, all of which add up, and a few have tens of thousands of taels of silver.

As for the other congratulatory gift, it was given to Wang Yu himself, which was all gold and silver, and it was also used for a small ten thousand taels of silver.

Wang Yu naturally didn't dare to take it.

In fact, when envoys to foreign countries, countries have gifts, and it is almost a clear rule.

After all, the errand of going abroad is a chore in Beijing, and no one wants to go, and at the same time, you can't send some crooked melons and bad dates, after all, it represents the majesty of a country.

Therefore, the Ministry of Rites and even the Cabinet acquiesced in the fact that the envoys had some extraneous pleasures outside. 、

Sometimes, it's even elegant.

But Wang Yu knows what can be collected and what cannot be collected.

At least Annan's money is absolutely uncollectible.

It's just that Li Sicheng seems polite, but He Zeng gave Wang Yu a chance to speak, and without waiting for Wang Yu to finish speaking, he sent Wang Yu out and asked Ruan Sheng to go to Beijing with him.

Regarding Wang Yulai's mission, it seems that he doesn't even have the meaning to ask.

Li Sicheng saw that Wang Yu was just a means to deal with the threat of the Ming Dynasty.

Because where is the volume of the Ming Dynasty and Annam. So on the bright side, the Li Dynasty is very respectful, but what he does in private is another matter.

Almost after Li Sicheng summoned Wang Yu. summoned the civil and military ministers of the Li Dynasty.

Although Li Sicheng has skills, he is only eighteen years old after all, and now the old ministers who oppose King Yishan occupy a large number of positions in the court.

Li Sicheng was polite to these old ministers in the middle of the night, Li Sicheng said: "Now the Mingkou army is in Yunnan and Guangxi, and it is rumored that there are as many as 300,000 troops, but I never believe it, the Mingkou army has been in the north, and there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the south. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Chao Wenwu burst into laughter.

It seems that the battlefield forty years ago gave them great confidence. This kind of confidence may be a little fearful even if it is modern for them to face the army of the Ming Dynasty, but they are definitely not afraid.

Li Sicheng paused slightly, and said: "However, Mingkou is still a big country, and this dynasty cannot be compared with it, but the more this is the case, the more this dynasty cannot show weakness." Today Mingkou wants two states, and tomorrow he wants two states, so the northern natural danger is not owned by my dynasty, and Mingkou can drive straight into Thang Long City. ”

"The business of our ancestors will be destroyed in our hands."

"I'd rather die than let an inch of land."

This sentence can turn the atmosphere to serious all of a sudden.

For a time, the civil and military ministers of the Li Dynasty came out one after another and said: "The ministers are willing to follow the king to fight to the death." ”

The foundation of the Li Dynasty is the victory of the Taizu of the Later Li Dynasty over the Ming Dynasty, and it can even be said that without this victory, there would be no birth of the Later Li Dynasty.

There are not so many ministers who are attached to the Later Li Dynasty.

Therefore, in the fight against the Ming Dynasty, there has never been so much noise inside and outside the Houli Dynasty, and even if there are some noises, what they are worried about is never whether they should fight, but whether they can fight.

Seeing this, Li Sicheng was relieved a lot.

As the king who has just ascended the throne, there are external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and the internal ministers are doing the internal worries of sitting big, and he has repeatedly thought about how to sit in this position, and he has also had a lot of ideas.

One day he can be sure that he will not be able to compromise on the slightest foreign plan.

In the Later Li Dynasty, whether it was civil or officialdom, too many stakeholders were the beneficiaries of the war forty years ago, and he had a slight concession and was immediately spurned by the top and bottom.

Even as the king of Annam, he had to conform to the will of the people.

Since he can't back down on Daming, he can only take the opportunity to control this force and become the leader who advocates tough treatment of Daming, which can naturally attract many people to his side.

His political authority became greater.

However, it is necessary to be careful in terms of proportion.

It is necessary to treat Daming's request for land strongly, but also not to tear his face with Daming. It is necessary not only to struggle, but also to pay attention to methods.

However, no matter what Li Sicheng does, the confrontation between major powers requires strength.

So Li Sicheng immediately issued an order to expand the army.

Expand the 130,000 standing army of Annam to 200,000, and set out the main force to the front of the two countries.

This move has strengthened Li Sicheng's position.

Without him, the power structure of the original thirteen armies has been fixed, even if Li Sicheng can't change it easily, but with the new expansion of 70,000 troops, Li Sicheng has a lot of opportunities to install his own people.

Coupled with the military operation of mobilizing the army, the vicinity of Thang Long City is under the control of Li Sicheng.

His position is even more solid.
