Chapter 28: The Text
Early the next morning, the Vietnamese army found two bunkers made of straw rope and sandbags under the trees about 500 meters away from the city.
It was the machine gun nest that Lin Xiao ordered people to build for Duan Zhenghong and them overnight, in addition to building two here, two were also built outside the north gate of the camp.
However, Lin Xiao did not organize the siege of the city, nor did he send artillery to play against the city, but ordered someone to shoot a crossbow arrow at the city with a crossbow.
The range of the bow and crossbow is farther than that of the arquebus, and the farthest strong crossbow can shoot about 200 meters, but it is not accurate at 50 meters.
A soldier of the Janissaries of Annam picked up a crossbow arrow, only to see a letter wrapped in silk tied to the shaft of the arrow!
Yes, indeed an epistle. However, this is not an ordinary letter, but a war letter, a text.
This is prepared by Lin Xiao, who is not very good at ancient Chinese, specially commissioned Gong Zhenhao in Haiphong in advance, and Gong Zhenhao found several Xiu from among the refugees before repeatedly considering and polishing according to the meaning of Lin Xiao's dictation.
He wants to salute first and then soldier, show his intentions, and force the small court of Annan to sign the alliance under the city!
Talk with war!
……
When the war letter was delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zheng Nahu was pacing uneasily, and his eyebrows were twisted into pimples.
The Ming army has been here for more than a day, neither attacking the city nor looting, but they are busy camping, do they want to stay here for a long time?
Didn't the commander of the other side know to take advantage of the emptiest moment of my imperial city to attack the city in one go? After my main force in Haiyang comes back to help, won't I miss a good opportunity?
They won't understand the truth of "one blow, then decline, and three exhaustion", right?
Since he can easily defeat Li Fu, it is unlikely that this leading officer is an idiot!
What do they mean?
Zheng Nahu was puzzled, didn't think about tea and dinner, and fidgeted.
……
After receiving the war letter from the forbidden army, Zheng Nahu couldn't wait to open the silk cloth, and the envelope read:
The commander of the Ming Qin Wang Yijun made the envoy of Annan
"Rebels?"
Zheng Nahu was slightly stunned, and he didn't care about it, so he opened the envelope and read it.
This is a long letter, and it is an article that makes Zheng Nahu angry!
The commander of the Ming Qin Wang Yijun envoy to the southern capital of Annan:
Since ancient times, the emperors have ruled the world, all of which are in China to control Yidi, Yidi to serve China, and have not heard of Yidi living in China and controlling the world.
Since the emperor of my ancestor Ming Dynasty entered China, within the four seas, he did not surrender, this is not manpower, it is really a gift from God. At that time, the monarch was bright and good, enough to dominate the world.
and his heirs sank into the famine, lost the way of the monarch and the minister, and used the tyrannical power, the Xiantai complained, and there was a poisonous abuse, so the people's hearts rebelled, and the world was in chaos. The Holy Dynasty has no auxiliary media, the humerus has no tendency to break and rush, and the concise ministers are not relied upon, although there is loyalty and righteousness, how can they show their festivals?
As for the Jurchen Jiannu Nurhachi, a savage, he bends his bow and fights, his eyes are scornful, and he is a jackal, and he is extremely vicious. This thief received the favor of the country and did not want to repay the service, and the former stole the outside and plundered the Central Plains repeatedly; Later, he committed a rebellion due to fate, still hiding evil intentions, stealing artifacts, killing kings and steaming mothers, and cruelty to the virtuous and harming the good!
Since his hypocrisy of the monarch, he has arrested soldiers and servitudes, poisoned tens of millions of creatures, ravaged more than 10,000 miles in Yangzhou County, Yangzhou for ten days, and Jiading three massacres, which is outrageous. In all the places they crossed, the ships, big and small, and the people, rich or poor, were all plundered, leaving no grass behind. So that the people of China, the liver and brain of the dead are smeared on the ground, the flesh and blood of the living are separated, the farmers cannot cultivate their own land to pay for endowments, the merchants cannot buy their own for interest, the scholars cannot recite the scriptures of Confucius, and the Chinese thousands of years of etiquette, people, poetry, books and classics will be swept away. It is the crime of rebellion against Hu, and it is also the shame of my China!
Gu Yun: "Hulu has no luck for a hundred years. "Its perverse behavior, the people's resentment boiling, although caused by personnel, is actually the envy of man and God, heaven and earth do not tolerate, and heaven is tired of its virtue and abandons it.
At this time, the cycle of heavenly fortune, among billions of trillions, when a husband raised his arms, Kyushu spoke in unison, drove out the Tartars, restored China, established the Chen Ji, and relieved the people. This is the autumn of loyal ministers' livers and brains, and the martyrs will report to the country.
Under the command of the Department of Propaganda and Consolation of the Old Port of the Ming Dynasty, Tema Xiwei Baihu Lin Xiao. Now pushed by the public, set up an overseas rebel army, Xi as the commander, led the division to cross the sea, and killed this scoundrel and rebel. Determined to lie down and taste the courage, control Minyue in the south, go to Zhili in the north, lead the group to work hard to clear up, and aim to build slaves, eliminate riots, so that the people can get their place, and snow the shame of China.
Where Yidi is a subject country, those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who turn their backs on me will run outside the fortress. Cover my Chinese people, and heaven will order my Chinese people to be safe, and how can I be governed!
The order is serious, Qiu has not committed any crimes, and the children under his command are loyal and righteous. The sound of the class moves and the north wind rises, the sword qi rushes and the south is flat, the mountains collapse and the wind and clouds change color. On the way through the territory of Annam, because I witnessed the displacement of the people of our holy pilgrimage, the situation was terrible, but I stopped the relief and comforted it a little.
You and other generations received the great grace of the Holy Pilgrimage, and you should have served the king diligently, sent to the residence, and went to the Holy Dynasty to be persecuted. Ran Er and the others are far away, and they call themselves hypocrites. It is actually a plot to plot against me, wanting to destroy the pillars, destroy the loyalty, and offend my heavenly might, although the ghosts and gods do not tolerate it. If I go back to the square, climb the high hill and beat the drum, and Yang Su waves the way to open and descend, it will fall apart, and there will be no bloody blade!
If you can turn misfortune into blessing, establish the honor of King Qin, do not abolish the life of Shizong, contribute money and food, reward the army and protect the people, and all the lords can protect the mountains and rivers. If they are attached to the poor region, wandering astray, and sitting on the omen of the first opportunity, they will be punished later!
The command makes the virtue thin and fresh, and the word loyalty is the foundation of the march, there is the sun and the moon, there are ghosts and gods, there is the water of the mighty Yangtze River, and there is the soul of the martyrdom and martyrs.
Don't ignore it!
……
This time, Zheng Nahu didn't have a seizure, just read this article over and over again.
Every time I read it, I closed my eyes and gasped for a while, and then I opened my eyes again, and my eyes fell on the war letter again. After repeating it several times, a gray mist seemed to rise in front of his eyes, and the handwriting suddenly shook, and he tilted his head and closed his eyes and slumped back in his chair, not moving for a long time, panting for breath.
It's too much of a bully!
Obviously not an official army, but his tone is bigger than that of an official army!
Asking for compensation before the fight starts? Isn't this a robber? No! It's not as good as a robber, it's a hooligan!
The person who wrote this letter is either a fool or a madman! If it's easy to say it as a fool, it's a joke, if it's a madman, then why is he so fearless?
"Their burst of fire is far and ......accurate," the little officer's trill words resounded in his ears that day, with a trembling sound.
Fear...... It's really hard to deal with!
A frenzy of despair surged over Zheng Nahu's heart, making him cold......
So be it!
Since they don't attack the city for the time being, then everything will wait for Zheng Ke's army to return to the division.
