Chapter 154: Honoring the King (First Update, Asking for Support)
Vote for the name.
What is a Petition of Nomination?
In fact, Suhatu didn't know what a name was, he could speak Chinese, but his Chinese was only learned by the Ming people after they came here and built the Gui Kingdom and the merchants, and he could only speak a few simple words.
How could he understand the depth of the Chinese language?
Looking at the knife on the ground in a daze, he was a little confused, and when he was here, he only heard the Han man say in a language that he could understand.
"If you want to live, kill them! Kill them and you'll be alive! ”
Who are they?
Naturally, it is the native who does not speak Chinese.
"What are they going to do?"
Although Abuljan's attack failed, in the eyes of the natives, the defeat seemed to be expected, and it was not a big deal at all. Just when they wanted to regroup again, they saw a group of natives tied up by ropes and driven out of Anpingji.
When the natives did not understand the intentions of the Gui people, as if it was a repetition of the previous ones, the natives who were tied with their hands were on their knees, and they looked ahead in fear, and they kept begging for mercy in the native language as they realized the danger.
"Kill them and you'll live!"
As soon as Li Chengkun's words were finished, he saw Suhatu rushing over, slashing at the neck of the native who was kneeling there, and only to hear a scream, the person's head was cut off. The rest of the people rushed over one after another, raising their swords and slashing at the natives who had surrendered.
Just as they were moving, Li Chengkun shouted loudly in stiff local language.
"You and the others have listened to Lao Tzu, how can the descendants of Yan and Huang be compared with the rats, if you kill me today, I will kill you 100 people as compensation, if you violate this oath, the sky will thunder!"
The reason why he shouted this sentence was that Li Chengkun wanted to tell those natives that he was not killing people for no reason, and at the same time reminded them that the Han people were not people who killed indiscriminately, even if they killed people now, they were forced to do so, so as to avoid the next battle, those natives would resist desperately, but he didn't know what kind of turmoil what kind of turmoil he said would set off in the next hundred years in the Nanyang feudal countries, but everyone knew that from now on, in Nanyang, the Han people would completely abandon their gentle side and treat the resistance of the natives. They will retaliate in the most direct and crisp way.
Those who obey me are slaves, and those who oppose me are bones.
Now, for the countries that have just gained a foothold here, they are not able to say this sentence so arrogantly, after all, some words, only after experiencing drastic changes, will be said, and now these vassal states are inevitably still subject to the habit of dealing with problems in the past in the Ming Dynasty, and are far from adapting to the changes in the environment.
Just like when the envoy sent by the king of Gui came to Xin'an, the capital of Qin, and asked for help in that Ming-style palace, the first reaction of almost everyone was the same.
"Envoy Gui doesn't need to panic, since the Ma Dalan barbarians invaded the Gui country, presumably after the envoy of your country arrives at the Nantianmen, the mother state will definitely send troops for help, and the envoy Gui must not be so at a loss."
As the king of Qin, Zhu Cihuan can be said to be the most noble lord of the feudal countries, he is the half-father blood of the current Xingqian Emperor, when he was in the country, His Majesty not only personally sent to Haizhou, and even carefully selected the palace guards and officials for him, but, despite this, to a certain extent, Zhu Cihuan is not a qualified king, after he took the country, he was still addicted to articles, calligraphy and painting all day long, and there was no consciousness of the founding monarch at all.
All this, not to mention other people, even together with Lu An, who is the minister of state, can't stand it, the Lu family is now the "noble" of Qin, because the right choice Lu An made at the beginning not only allowed him to get through the initial crisis, but even made him become the Linping monarch of Qin.
The change from a merchant to a feudal monarch can be described as a earth-shaking change for Lu An, and it is precisely because of this that he will give up the old business and concentrate on national politics, which is completely contrary to his original intention, but he is happy to do so, after all, he saw the opportunity to let the Lu family soar again, maybe the Lu family in Jiangnan has declined, but in the Qin State, the Lu family can become a pillar of a country.
In order to get close to the Wang family, Lu An even persuaded his father to marry his fifteen-year-old sister to the king, and it was this kind of in-law that made the Lu family's status in the Qin State quite prominent, coupled with his status as a king, at least in the next few decades, the Lu family can be called the first family of the Qin State.
Despite this, he was still a little dissatisfied, and the only thing that made him dissatisfied was none other than the lord in front of him, the younger brother of the Ming Emperor. Sometimes when the night is quiet, Lu An even thinks about why Emperor Xingqian can achieve great things when he is a compatriot of the same mother, but the king is willing to indulge in poetry, books, articles and even women.
Even, in the Qin State, some people privately called the lord of the country "the little queen", that is, the fine calligraphy, painting, Tongyin law, poetry and literature have a certain attainment, especially the Southern Tang Dynasty master Li Yu, who has the highest achievement in words. If it were someone else, he might be annoyed by this, but what Lu An didn't expect was that the king was not ashamed, but proud, and even carved a private seal, calling himself "Lianfeng Layman", okay, this is willing to be Li Yu.
The king is happy to be like this, but Lu An, who is the minister of state, can't, so since the king came to the country, the affairs of the Qin State are often handled by him. The only thing that made Lu An'an feel at ease was that the king trusted him 100%, which can be regarded as a comfort.
Of course, Lu An knew that no minister would dare to seek power and usurp the throne in the next one or two hundred years, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the clan countries, they would not tolerate any minister doing this, and of course the ministers would dare to do so, and they must take into account the pressure of the Ming Dynasty and the countries.
It is precisely because everyone knows that there are ministers who seek power and usurp will inevitably be suppressed by various countries, so the lords of the country dare to delegate power, so that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Jia's sentence "The world is safe, pay attention to the phase, the sky is safe, pay attention to the general" became history after Xingqian.
Because there are kingdoms, the mother state does not need to worry about rebels, because the kingdoms will defend the mother state, and the courtiers of the mother state will not dare to rebel, because there is a mother state to protect them. For the countries, the protection of the mother state is undoubtedly the most important, so that those lords dare to let go of power, and even have the attitude of the countries and the Ming Dynasty. Especially the attitude of the latter, in many cases, they are more willing to obey the Ming in everything. Now, when Gui is facing the danger of extinction, the king thinks of Daming, and Lu An, as a minister, also thinks of Daming. Of course, at most, he was thinking about how to expand the territory of Qin after the arrival of the Ming reinforcements and when the Ming army taught Ma Dalan a lesson.
This is exactly the difference between Lu An and the lord of the country, of course, in the face of Gui Guo's request for help, he wants to be the same as the king - to ask for help from the mother state. And Wei Xiangshu, who is the minister of state, also expressed his approval, and the approval of the two big figures made the situation in the court immediately inclined not to send troops.
"Great King, although the mother state is the co-lord of our other countries, but the mobilization of the army of Nantianmen must have the emperor's order, and when the emperor's order arrives, I am afraid that the country of Gui will no longer exist, and the country of Gui and the state of Qin will die, if the country of Gui is removed, then the state of Qin will inevitably be committed by Ma Dalan......"
As an envoy, Zhang Youguang, at this time, can really imagine the style of the Zongheng family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and also deeply understand the role of diplomatic envoys, which is directly related to the survival of a country.
"Qin and my Gui are brothers, located on the same island, should support each other, this time Ma Da Lan Xingbing attacked Gui, if Qin State sat on the wall and watched, not only will it only make the relatives painful, and the enemy is fast, after he learns about it, he will definitely reprimand it......"
Although when he came to Qin to ask for help, Zhang Youguang had repeatedly studied the vertical and horizontal techniques of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but when it really came to need, he was still a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to say at all, and even took out his mother state as the sword of Shang Fang.
Although this Shang Fang sword seemed to make Zhu Cihuan's heart tighten, at this moment, Lu An said on the side. "Although Qin Gui is a country of brothers, but it is also a minister of the mother state, if there is no order of the mother state, my Qin soldiers will not dare to enter the Gui country lightly, let alone speak lightly for the alliance, this is a taboo."
Lu An's refusal made Zhang Youguang slightly stunned, and it was only at this time that he couldn't help but sigh at Xu Funian's foresight, when the king sent a messenger for help, Xu Funian, who was present in the court, once said. Nations will not send troops, because they have their own dignity and inferiority.
Although the feudal countries are clearly princes and their own national politics, they are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and for the Ming Dynasty, it is not a big deal to have a few feudal countries, but so dozens of princes collude together, so the Ming Dynasty may not be happy.
A country's rebellion is not a threat to the Ming Dynasty, but what if dozens of countries are plotting chaos together? Although this possibility is almost zero, how can those lords and ministers of the dynasty be willing to take risks for the sake of their own feudal and wealth?
Now, the successive refusals of Lu An and Wei Xiangshu are actually telling Zhang Youguang - it is not that Qin does not send troops, but that Qin cannot send troops. Because this is the imperial court, it is a taboo of the Ming Dynasty, everyone is a courtier, and you must know where the bottom line of the imperial court is for the imperial court.
"What Xiang Guo said is extremely true, but ......"
It was precisely because he thought of Xu Funian's advice that Zhang Youguang, who didn't know how to deal with it, finally thought of how to persuade Qin to send troops.
"Xiangguo and Linpingjun have forgotten that at the beginning, His Majesty divided the countries, hoping that the countries would educate the barbarians in Nanyang and make them belong to China. Has Xiangguo forgotten that I still have the ancient precept of "respecting the king and fighting the king"? ”
