When Emperor Chongzhen arrived at Lin'an Mansion in Yunnan, he was about to enter the town of Hekou in Annam, and he had been resting, and did not continue to march a day later as he had done before.

And Emperor Chongzhen himself, every day, he either drinks wine and eats meat in the camp of the Chinese army, tastes the special fruits of Yunnan, appreciates the local dances, or gathers local officials, comments on some local government affairs, and even writes books to impart some natural knowledge. It was as if after he arrived at the border of Annam with his army, he did not want to attack Annam, but to inspect the Annam Mansion.

However, the army is not idle. Not only did the various armies take turns to train in the rainforest, but also military supplies were continuously sent from Kunming and Guangxi.

This news was naturally discovered by Annan's side and immediately reported to the Allied headquarters.

Needless to say, the leader of the alliance is naturally the most powerful Zheng Jie, after hearing the detailed advice, he couldn't help but be very surprised, after confirmation, the Ming army did garrison the border, and did not immediately attack Annan, which made him immediately frowned, and immediately glanced at both sides below and asked, "I don't know what you think?" ”

"Presumably, the Ming Emperor knew that we were all united, and he was afraid of our allies, so he didn't dare to set foot in Annan!" The leader of the Dutch, Ebid, was the first to stand up and speak.

Mo Jingyu didn't think so about his statement, and immediately stood up and retorted: "No, no, if the Ming Emperor is really afraid of us uniting, he will not issue an explicit decree and offend us all at once!" ”

The leader of the Ruan clan, naturally their descendant Ruan Fuwei, nodded and echoed Mo Jingyu's words: "That's right, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is definitely not afraid of our alliance, he must have another plan!" ”

"What kind of plot could that be?" Anders of Portugal was a little weak and hurriedly asked.

Ruan Fuwei listened, frowned and said, "Judging from the bright side, the Ming army is still hoarding supplies. It seems that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom did not expect us to unite so soon, and the military supplies prepared before were not enough, so we had to wait for the follow-up replenishment. But in my opinion, this is not the real reason of the Ming Emperor! ”

"And what is his real reason?" Mo Jingyu listened, obviously a little nervous, and hurriedly asked.

Ruan Fuwei turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "At least for the time being, it's hard to say, it depends on what the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will do next?" ”

Zheng Jie, who was on the main seat, nodded again and again, looking at Ruan Fuwei, with a sense of appreciation.

After he and Ruan Fuwei began to get in touch, he felt that this son was extraordinary, and he felt that Cao Cao sighed that his son should be like Sun Zhongmou.

His thoughts are similar to those of Ruan Phuc.

The emperor of the Ming Kingdom fought in the south and the north, and fought many wars, and he was definitely not the master of rhetoric. Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the example of destroying Dongwu, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is 30,000 against 300,000, how can he be afraid?

If you really want to talk about it, Annan's side is still just an allied army united by various forces, far from Dongwu is just a king. The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom can even deal with Dongwu, and he will be afraid that Annan's side will be weird!

Thinking of this, Zheng Jie couldn't help but be stunned, and he immediately thought of a possibility.

Suddenly, his face was a little difficult to look at, and the more he glanced at the representatives of the various forces below, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Emperor Ming was the purpose. What made him even more uncertain was that he had to admit that Emperor Ming's treacherous plan was definitely possible!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw that Ruan Fuwei's expression was also a little difficult to look at, and at the same time, he also turned his head to look at him.

Zheng Jie and Ruan Fuwei looked at each other like this, and they suddenly understood in their hearts that the other party should have thought of it with themselves.

However, it is clear that this treacherous plan of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is definitely a conspiracy, and even if you know it, it will be difficult to deal with it.

What to do? What to do?

Zheng Jiezheng was worried in his heart, and suddenly, he heard Ruan Fuwei speak: "In this way, since the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is not coming, then we will take the initiative to attack and fight the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Mo Jingyu was the first to jump up, and immediately shouted: "What do you mean? Haven't we all discussed it? First lure the enemy deeper, resist step by step, and finally rely on the geographical advantage to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army. If you take the initiative to attack, wouldn't you give up the geographical advantage, but let the Ming army wait for work, how can it? ”

Abed was a little depressed when he was rejected before, and after hearing this, he also shook his head and objected: "Do you know how to fight?" We have so many troops in the Dominic Army, why do we want to get together? Let the emperor of the Ming Kingdom come, and then besiege him with heavy troops, cut off his reinforcements, with our artillery, are you afraid that they can hold on and wait for help? ”

Although Anders has a ghost in his heart, from the perspective of war, he is also a little strange, how could the always wise son change his mind and make good use of his own advantages, and take the initiative to attack the Ming army?

So, he asked, "Why change your mind, there is always a reason, right?" ”

Hearing their questioning, Ruan Phuc turned his head to look at the alliance leader and said word by word: "Because, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom can afford it, but we can't afford it!" ”

"Why can't you afford it?" When Mo Jingyu heard this, he felt a little inexplicable, thinking that Ruan Fuwei had forgotten, so he reminded, "The food and grass materials of our various armies are all provided by each other, and they don't just eat the king of Qingdu, who can't afford it?" ”

When they said this, they saw that Zheng Ruan and both of them looked at him, and there seemed to be a bit of insult in their eyes, and suddenly, his neck turned red, and he raised his voice and said: "Besides, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom has a lot of opportunities, he doesn't want the Beijing Division, and he won't return to the Beijing Division?" He can't afford it! ”

After finishing speaking, he felt that Zheng Ruan and the others were looking at him, still with contempt, so he snorted and didn't want to speak.

It's really too deceitful, if you don't want to do something, you really want to get rid of it!

The emperor of the Ming Kingdom is really, he came to Annan to quell the rebellion, and he is the most welcome, but why do you still say that you are incompetent to punish the crime?

If there is anything, Ruan Phuc is not easy to say, as the leader of the alliance, Zheng Jie, after seeing the puzzled expressions of everyone else, had to explain: "If it continues to be consumed, even if we focus on the overall situation and unite first." However, the people below will inevitably change over time. ”

What he said about this matter can actually ignore Mo Jingyu's side, mainly Zheng Jun and Ruan Jun's side. After all, they were all enemies in the past, and if you kill me, I will kill you, and they will all make mortal enemies.

Zheng Jie and Ruan Phuc can unite for the sake of interests, but the people below can't control so much. After a long time, it will definitely not be reconciled, but will cause friction due to various factors, and eventually a major conflict will erupt. At that time, whether it is Zheng Jie or Ruan Phuc Wei, it will be very difficult to deal with this kind of thing.

What's more, if Zheng Jie has a different heart, and after a long time, he wants to kill the generals of the Ruan army and annex the Ruan army, is there such a possibility?

After a long time, if it drags on like this, no one dares to guarantee it.

Similarly, if Ruan Phuche has a different intention on his side, taking advantage of the army in the north, he suddenly launched a mutiny, captured or killed Zheng Jie, and defeated his old enemy for many years in one fell swoop, is there such a possibility? Again, no one dares to guarantee it!

Believe it or not, if the emperor of the Ming Kingdom suddenly had something to do at this time, he led the army back to the north. As soon as the news came back to Annan, Zheng Ruan's two armies would be able to immediately hit their brains!

The previous covenant, in the face of huge interests, was not worth mentioning at all!

After Zheng Jie's words, Mo Jingyu was not so stupid, and immediately understood. No matter how much they promised before, no matter how much they made a bloody alliance, and then took the prince as a hostage, it was impossible for the Zheng Ruan family to reconcile as a family, and they were still wary of each other after all.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had a feeling of schadenfreude, making you strong, hehe!

However, the Dutchman Abed and the Portuguese Anders couldn't figure it out, and even proposed that as long as they strictly controlled their respective armies and didn't let their subordinates have any contact, wouldn't that be okay?

I can't go into details. Of course, the best thing is to be stationed separately, and they are connected to each other and fight separately.

Just like the Battle of Chibi during the Three Kingdoms, Sun and Liu united, but the armies were not together, but coordinated with each other, so that there would be a lot less trouble.

However, their terrain dictated that this way was impossible. On the Annan side, there is a long and narrow stretch along the coastline. The Ming army's attack, from north to south, if it hits the territory of the Ruan family, it means that the territory of the Zheng family has been captured by the Ming army.

It is also for this reason that the Ruan army will go north and fight together with the Zheng army to deal with the Ming army.

At this time, neither Zheng Jie nor Ruan Fuwei could change their minds at once and immediately lead the army north. This military discussion was inconclusive. Only by begging the gods, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was not so treacherous, and he really needed to replenish military supplies, so he stayed there.

Or, something big will happen in the Ming Kingdom as soon as possible, so that the Ming Emperor can't take care of Annan, so he should go back to the north as soon as possible!

If it were an ordinary emperor, he would definitely not be away for long. Otherwise, if the emperor leaves the capital for too long, it will be easy to change.

After Emperor Chongzhen left Jingshi at the end of last year and went south, it will be a year soon, and he will still stay in the south. This situation is really rare.

Naturally, they didn't know that Emperor Chongzhen had a golden finger and knew everything about the situation on the Jingshi side. In addition, his prestige is also in full swing, and the courtiers in the court have all been combed by him, so he doesn't have to worry about anything at all. His situation cannot be viewed in the same way as before.

Therefore, Zheng Jie and Ruan Fu were on the verge of luck, and after waiting for some days, they still did not see any signs of Emperor Chongzhen leading troops to attack. The army is gathered here, and the longer it drags on, the more delicate the situation becomes. In the end, as the leader of the alliance, Zheng Jie, he knew that he couldn't go on like this.
