"Let's all talk about it, what now?"

Li Hui had a headache, and when he thought of the 100,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty, he felt panicked.

He knew very well that the establishment of the Houli Dynasty was not because of how powerful the Annan people were, but because the Ming Dynasty felt that the place of Annan was very chicken.

The land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to command.

This sentence is enough to explain Annan's situation and Daming's attitude towards Annan's side.

When Emperor Yongle sent troops to attack Annan, it was not all because the Hu Dynasty on the side of Annan repeatedly provoked the Ming Dynasty, but a very important reason was to make a foundation for Zheng He's trip to the West.

Because the Ming Dynasty conquered Annan, it could deter the Southeast Peninsula and the Nanyang island countries, which was very helpful for Zheng He to go to the Western Ocean.

Otherwise, it is impossible to say that people are respectful and friendly everywhere they go, and it is more because of the military deterrence of the Ming Dynasty on the Southeast Peninsula, so that these countries in the Nanyang region dare not be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty.

But as soon as Zheng He's trip to the West ended, Annan lost its value, which is why the Ming Dynasty later gave up Annan.

The Later Li Dynasty was able to get Annan, not because they were strong in force and really won the Ming Dynasty, but because the Ming Dynasty itself strategically retreated and gave up Jiaozhi.

Now that Da Ming has sent the army over again, he is like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and uneasy.

In the final analysis, the purpose of the Ming Dynasty's attack on Annam now is similar to that of Emperor Yongle's attack on Annam, all of which are to demonstrate the military strength and deterrence of the Ming Dynasty on the Southeast Peninsula, mainly to deter these Nanyang countries.

War is never an end, but only a means to an end.

"Your Majesty, I have long said that we must not provoke the Ming people, the Ming Dynasty has taken Luzon and re-entered the South Seas on a large scale, and they want us to give them an excuse, so that they can attack us again, re-enter the Southeast Peninsula, and threaten the South Sea countries."

Wu Shilian stood up and said that he was one of the important ministers left by Li Sicheng to Li Hui, and the official residence was Zuo Xiangguo.

He has always opposed the provocation of the Ming Dynasty, he believes that the Ming Dynasty is strong, and the Annan Kingdom is small, and he should be cautious with a strong neighbor like the Ming Dynasty, so as not to anger the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why he ignored you before was because Da Ming felt the necessity of ignoring you, and if Da Ming became serious, it would only be a matter of minutes to deal with you Annan.

"What's the use of talking about these now, the Ming Dynasty has already overwhelmed the territory, and the 100,000 army is said to be the most powerful new army in the Ming Dynasty."

Li Hui replied impatiently.

About the Ming Dynasty, he also knows a lot of information here, knowing that in the past few years, the Ming Hongzhi Emperor has worked hard to carry out a series of reforms, not only the country and the people, the national strength has become rapidly strong, but also in the military victories one after another.

First, he defeated the northernmost steppe people, then marched east to conquer the Wa Kingdom, and went south and almost destroyed Luzon, which shows how powerful the Ming army was.

The 100,000 army of the Ming Dynasty pressed the border, and all the troops in the entire Annan combined were not 50,000, even if they were temporarily organized, I am afraid they would barely be able to gather 100,000 people.

But can these 100,000 be compared to the 100,000 horses of the Ming Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should immediately send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty to sue for peace, ask the Emperor for his guilt, and sign the agreement of the Ming vassal state, so that the Ming Dynasty will naturally not be conquest of my Annan."

Wu Shilian thought for a while and said.

"Is it too late?"

At this time, the right minister Guo Wuqiong stood up and objected.

Wu Qiong and Wu Shilian are the opposite, he thinks that Da Ming is actually nothing to be afraid of.

The Ming Dynasty seems to be powerful, but in fact, it is just a strong outsider, and Annan is far away from the central area of the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to be afraid of the Ming Dynasty at all.

What's more, there are 100,000 mountains guarding the north and south of Annan, as long as they rely on the favorable terrain of the 100,000 mountains, even if the Ming Dynasty has a million heroes, they will not want to set foot in Annan.

"Then what is the best plan for the right Xiangguo?"

Wu Shilian looked at this Wu Qiong and asked coldly.

If it weren't for this Wu Qiong's instigation, Li Hui might not dare to send troops to kill in Longzhou, Guangxi, Daming, and go to Guangxi to harass him, so as not to anger Daming.

"The Ming Dynasty is strong and middle-handed, and it looks huge, but there is nothing to be afraid of."

"They sent 100,000 troops this time, but we all know that this army has always been bluffing, and this so-called 100,000 army is probably only 30,000 or 40,000 at most."

"My Annan has 100,000 mountains in the north to rely on, and I only need to strengthen the defense in the north, and I only need tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so I don't want to take a step into my Annan."

"We only need to drag it, drag it for a year and a half, and then they can't keep up with the grain and grass, plus they are not adapted to the climate in this area, so they will naturally retire."

"Hasn't it always been like this in history?"

Wu Qiong said very easily.

Hearing Wu Qiong's words, all the ministers also nodded one after another, this Ming man has always been like this, when this army is dispatched, 100,000 troops can be said to be millions.

If this is called 100,000, I am afraid that it is really just like what Wu Qiong said, there are only 30,000 or 40,000.

They were deeply influenced by the Ming Dynasty, and this march and battle were similar, one or two thousand people would be called a hundred thousand troops, and if there were seven or eighty thousand, they would dare to claim to have four or five hundred thousand troops.

It's nothing more than a bluff, and at the same time a means to strengthen one's own courage and scare the opponent.

When Li Hui heard this, he immediately laughed, and the whole person was much more relaxed, thinking about it carefully, it was really like this.

It is known as an army of 100,000, I am afraid that it is 30,000 or 40,000, and if this amount of troops is used, relying on the favorable terrain of 100,000 mountains, it can definitely be blocked.

"What Xiang Guo said is very true~"

Li Hui nodded with satisfaction.

Even Wu Shilian couldn't find any excuse to oppose it at this time, because it seemed to be really the case.

When Emperor Yongle conquered Annan, he claimed to have an army of 800,000, but was there really an army of 800,000?

In fact, it is only about 100,000 troops, but it is under the banner of 800,000 troops.

"Going up, the minister thinks that the defense of the northern pass should be strengthened, and it should be slowly dragged down with the Ming side, and it will be enough to drag them out by themselves."

"The king doesn't have to worry about this at all."

Wu Qiong said very confidently.

"Hmm~"

Li Hui nodded with satisfaction, a smile appeared on his face, and after thinking about it, he said to Wu Shilian: "You immediately write a letter of inquiry." ”

"Come and don't be rude, my dynasty has always been respectful to the Ming Dynasty, and has repeatedly paid tribute to the ministers, but the Ming Dynasty has repeatedly humiliated me, which is unbearable."

"Yes~"

Although Wu Shilian felt that it was inappropriate, but when he thought about it, it seemed that there was really nothing to be afraid of.

This Ming army is only tens of thousands, and it is impossible to break through the defense of the 100,000 mountains in the north, and it is still too far and too far away from the ruling center of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor is far away, and no matter how powerful the Ming is, he will not waste his national strength on Annan.

"Wu Qiong, you immediately go north, strengthen the defense in the north, if you lose, you are ask~"

Then Li Hui ordered Wu Qiong's side to take charge of the defense in the north, and dispatched most of the troops of Annan to concentrate in the north, and deployed heavy troops on the side of the 100,000 mountains.

"Obey the order~"

Wu Qiong immediately replied respectfully.

The court meeting quickly dispersed, and the ministers below began to get busy.

Li Hui looked at a map, and the whole person was in a daze.

This map is the world map that Ambassador Annan saw at the Daming Tianjin Post Station when he was an envoy to the Ming Dynasty last winter, and then people copied and brought back the world map.

"Daming is really big, Guangxi alone is bigger than our Annan (at this time, Annan is only half of the north), and the whole world is also very big."

"The Golden Continent is said to be full of gold, and a fleet of ten ships of the Ming Dynasty went to the Golden Continent to bring back gold and silver worth 30 million silver."

"Thirty million silver~"

Li Hui let out a long sigh, Annan is actually very poor, unlike Luzon, which is rich in gold and silver, Annan has no resources, only a small amount of copper and iron ore, which is why Annan has always used foreign troops.

They want to occupy places like Champa, Cambodia, and Ailao, because these places have more mineral resources, and Annan needs these things, and Annam has nothing here but the fertile fields of the Red River Delta.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a large piece of land in Java and Sumatra, Australia, where gold is said to be produced, and the land is sparsely populated, if only we could occupy this place."

"It's a pity, we in Annan can't build a big ship like the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we can sweep through the countries of the South Seas, occupy Australia again, and become a big empire as powerful and vast as the Ming Dynasty."

Li Hui couldn't help but look at Nanyang and Australia in a daze when he thought of this, he is also a monarch with achievements and ambitions, his father left him a good foundation and stall, and he also wants to make a difference.

"Big Boat~"

Thinking of the ship, Li Hui couldn't help but look at the Beibu Gulf and the vast South China Sea to the east.

Then a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

"What if the Ming Dynasty doesn't attack us from the 100,000 mountains in the north, but attacks us from the sea instead?"

Thinking of this, Li Hui's eyes suddenly widened, and then the whole person began to stare at Beibu Gulf, and then said loudly: "Immediately summon the left and right ministers and ministers to come back." ”

"It's over, if the Ming Dynasty attacks our Annan from the sea, it can directly bypass the 100,000 mountains in the north and go straight to the heart of our Annan, and then they can go along the Red River and even reach our Tokyo."

Thinking of this, Li Hui's whole person was completely panicked.
