Chapter 346: Obsession
At the end of the banquet, Zhu Qiming was no longer strong enough to drink. He walked out of the dining room slowly, and saw Ouyang Tong, who had been snubbed during the banquet, following him, almost clinging to his body.
"The night is extremely cold, Your Highness should be careful of your body."
Is this king so squeamish? Zhu Qiming smiled and stepped into the hospital, when the night wind hit, he immediately shuddered.
As far as the eye can see, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the frost-like light splashes down, fogging the distant cities and wilderness, and there seems to be some kind of exciting poetry floating in the boundless cold.
The lover complains about the night, and the night is lovesick! Literati are accustomed to accurately controlling emotional triggers, and using poetry to provoke empathetic emotional resonance from the world.
However, it is better to let the poetry go away at this moment!
The situation in Liaodong is treacherous, and the Ming Society and countless living beings only call for wise and brave people to appear on the stage to eliminate the unbearable catastrophe, so as not to break the mountains and rivers and destroy the lives of people!
He paused on the road, listening to the cold wind blowing away the temperature of the wine.
There was a commotion from the dining room, but seeing that there were many people under the moonlight, Duoer Zhensuo slowly walked to Zhu Qiming's side surrounded by a group of women.
The sound of light footsteps suddenly sounded, and a tall figure left the group and walked towards the building, and when he glanced back on the way, the moon reflected a pair of bright eyes, as well as a faint look in between.
Those bright eyes flashed with the mystery of an exotic land, just like the mysterious land over there. Alas, thinking about that hot land, it is really fascinating, but it is a place for him to stay on his journey and set foot for a short time, but it is a strange foreign land after all, and it does not belong to him, the Prince of Daming. His heart should hold on to obsession.
People have no obsession, but they are in vain!
"Your Highness······"
As soon as Duoer Zhensuo Fang spoke, he saw Wang Ao leading the officials of Liaodong to come forward.
"Please go to the pavilion to rest, and talk about it tomorrow."
"The concubine said goodbye." Dol Zhensuo bowed, and then led the crowd away.
Wang Ao's gaze slowly moved upward, and finally settled on Zhu Qiming's face, "Your Highness, I have already invited the Korean envoys to a banquet in the afternoon, so I did not let them attend the dinner. ”
North Korean envoys? It is good that the Liaodong Metropolitan Division does not allow the Korean and Jurchen envoys to meet, saving a lot of useless war of words.
Zhu Qiming suddenly realized that in the face of the upcoming war, if the DPRK was allowed to sit idly by, wouldn't it be cheaper for them? On second thought, there are wolf-like Jurchens on the west bank of the Yalu River, and if the North Korean army gets involved, I am afraid that the internal disputes of the coalition forces will be chaotic!
Let's just pull the Jurchens into the water first!
Seeing that Zhu Qiming didn't speak for a long time, Wang Ao said again: "Does Your Highness want to see the North Korean envoy?" ”
After blowing the cold wind for a long time, Zhu Qiming's drunkenness had dissipated most of it, and he looked at Wang Ao, expecting that he was still not dead, I am afraid that he would persuade the Jurchen tribes to encounter the Warat people to invade Liaodong, so they pinned their hopes on him, the prince, and most of them also counted on the Korean Chen soldiers on the Yalu River, and the Liaodong army were each other's horns.
But with the Liaodong army and the Jurchens in front of them blocking the front of Wara's troops, North Korea hiding behind the barrier must have its own calculations, so although Wang Ao's small abacus is loud, it is destined to fail.
In view of this, what does it mean for a prince to rashly receive the Korean envoys, there is nothing serious to talk about, just a greeting!
"I can't do it tonight, and if I meet Korean envoys in the future, it's not too late for this king to meet them again."
Cao Yi had a calm old face, obviously still thinking about the topic that Zhu Qiming had just mentioned, "Could it be that His Highness thinks that once the war starts, the gains and losses on the Liaodong side are related to the overall situation?" ”
Zhu Qiming shook his head, "Datong and Xuanfu are the gateways of the Beijing Division, if they are knocked open by the Tartar thieves, there will be wolf smoke everywhere, and if the Ming army and people still have a little blood, they will definitely fight back, how can they be forced to move the capital by the small state of Yuer?" It is inevitable that the living beings in the north will be ruined, but the ancestors have left such a thick family foundation, and the national strength is far better than that of Wara, so the Ming Dynasty has a great chance of winning! On the contrary, on the side of Liaodong, during the war, the DPRK and the Central Government could not take care of the places outside the Guan, and Liaodong was very easy to lose. If Liaodong is lost, the balance of power will tilt towards Wara, and the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty will also decline! ”
Wang Ao invited Zhu Qiming to move to the pavilion, "Your Highness is reasonable. At the time of peace, people were accustomed to magnifying their expectations for peace, and once the disaster of war came, the world would often magnify the prediction of the enemy's combat strength, so it was always easy to advance and retreat. ”
"Korea-China······ Alas! Cao Yi didn't say all the words, but he stretched out his sigh for a long time.
In this situation, the best footnote is indeed just a sigh!
In front of the building, there was already a servant woman holding a lamp to greet him.
"Go back, everybody." Zhu Qiming greeted him and wanted to enter with Ouyang Tong.
"Your Highness, please stay." Wang Ao bowed his hand, "I admire His Highness's insight!" Yes, before the war, the most guarded against the Ming Dynasty is the Warat Taishi also, and once the war starts, the most guarded person in the Ming Dynasty is to take off without flowers, take off without spending far-reaching, it is expected that he will do his best to avoid confrontation with the Ming heavy soldiers, and will take advantage of the opportunity of the bloody battle between the Ming Dynasty and the first, and take Liaodong by surprise, if you can succeed, you can stand in a very advantageous position within the Wara, and in the future, when you face the loss of the soldiers, you will also wait for the strongman, and you don't have to look at their faces anymore! I don't know what kind of plan Your Highness has to make you retreat without knowing the difficulty? ”
Quit when the going gets tough? Wanting to protect Liaodong without a fight is tantamount to an idiot's dream!
"Go to its wings first!" Zhu Qiming turned to stare at Wang Ao and Cao Yi, "The Wuliang thieves have been attached to Wara, and there are Wuliang thieves who are snooping around Liaodong, and they are responding from the side, even if they travel thousands of miles to get rid of it, they will feel more calm; On the contrary, if you break the backbone of the Wuliang thieves and make them lose their response, and they will not spend time leading the army to invade Liaodong, it will be equivalent to an expedition of laborers, and the chances of winning will be lost. ”
Break the backbone of the Ural Thief? This is an active cause of trouble! I saw that the officials of Liaodong were stunned and couldn't make a sound.
"There is no Wuliang thief to respond, before the war, you can only send a small group of Tartar thieves to patrol along the border, in order to spy on the reality of the Liaodong garrison, the Liaodong garrison may wish to use the superior forces to knock piecemeal, accumulate small victories for big victories, and within a month, you can make the detachment not spend money to lose the soldiers, and no longer have the power to penetrate Liaodong!"
Take the initiative? has been in the Taiping Army for nearly 20 years, and I am afraid that the words "strike first is strong" can no longer be found in the dictionary of the Liaodong Army, so all the officials were dumbfounded when they heard Zhu Qiming say it.
It is no wonder that they have repeatedly instructed the border army to fight cautiously and focus on defense, and under the immersion of this atmosphere for many years, many border generals have developed the habit of thinking like a civilian official who is cautious, for fear that if he is not careful, he will cause trouble.
And once the habit of thinking is formed, it may be more difficult to change it than to ascend to the sky!
The light from inside the door reflected Wang Ao's expectant gaze, "Will Your Highness have a secret discussion with the leaders of the Jurchen tribes tomorrow?" ”
Are you still expecting foreign aid? Zhu Qiming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "No, this king will get up early tomorrow and will not meet with the Korean and Jurchen envoys again." However, please rest assured, since this king is here, he will not be willing to be an idle king! ”
