Chapter 173: Second Minister
Li Guang reminded Sun Yi: "Lord Lidel, what about those Ming Dynasty veterans?" Vice Admiral Da Linghe is still waiting outside the tent to be summoned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
The situation of the Ming army in Dalinghe was different from that of Altanjin, and they thought that the Ming Dynasty had sent someone to take them home.
Sun Yi secretly had a headache, how did he say that sentence, if he told a lie, he needed to use more lies to round it. Sun Yihao said: "Let's meet the deputy general of Da Linghe first." ā
Sun Dingliao waited outside the tent, very curious about this lord of the Iron and Wood Country.
The soldiers of the 51st Division brought by the lord of Tiemu were all dressed as Ming Dynasty people, and Vice General Sun could see at a glance that many of them were veterans of the Ming Dynasty.
The general soldier of the Tiemu Kingdom who fought side by side with him last night, just by saying "invite", he dared to love the new national camp with himself, and Vice General Sun secretly admired that the general soldier could be regarded as a real warrior. And the chief soldier himself said that he was from Yansui Town.
What the hell is this Ironwood Country?
What is the relationship between the Temu Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty?
When someone reported it, Sun Dingliao walked a few steps into the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt down and kowtowed in his battle robe.
"The lord of Tiemu is above, and Sun Dingliao, the second minister of the Ming Dynasty, will meet Your Majesty."
Sun Dingliao's face was pressed to the ground, and the breath exhaled from his nose rushed up to the dust, quietly waiting for a sentence of "no rudeness" or "raise your head".
Unexpected! A fluttering hometown dialect came down: "Get up quickly, there is no longer a rule of kowtow for Temu." If you kneel for a long time, your waist will bend. ā
Sun Yi has become accustomed to speaking Shaanxi these days, and was seduced by Sun Dingliao's Northeast accent, and unconsciously changed to Mandarin.
Sun Dingliao stood up and stared at Sun Yi in astonishment, thinking in his heart that the lord of this country is also from Liaodong? It is said that the lord of this country is also surnamed Sun, does it have any relationship with my Liaoyang Sun family? Even if there is no origin, the lord of this country must have an unusual relationship with the imperial court, do you want to recognize the next family? There are a lot of righteous sons of the general army of Zu Dashou, and there are 2,000 people surnamed Mao under the general army of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town, should I recognize this young man as a godfather, so that someone in the court can speak for me?
When Sun Dingliao was full of thoughts, Sun Yi's greeting came, "General Sun, you have worked hard in the first battle of Dalinghe." ā
Sun Dingliao clenched his fists, "The last general will not dare." did not sacrifice his life to become benevolent, and the last general was ashamed of the court. ā
Sun Yi shook his head, "I don't agree with the general's words. It's not that the defenders of the Daling River are ashamed of the imperial court, but that the imperial court is ashamed of the defenders of the Daling River. ā
In a word, Sun Dingliao seemed to have been struck by lightning, he wanted to say this, but he never dared to say it.
What is the relationship between this lord and the court, and is he testing my loyalty?
At that moment, Sun Dingliao changed the standard reply: "The king humiliated the ministers to death, Dingliao failed to share the worries of the monarch's father, but surrendered to Jiannu to disgrace the monarch's father, Dingliao should die ten thousand deaths!" ā
Sun Yi sighed, and said in his heart that this Vice General Sun in front of him can really pretend, how can you still be alive when you are dead, and you will run back from Aixinguo with a sentence of "go home".
People who pretend to be asleep are the most difficult to wake up, and Sun Yihao changed the topic first: "General Sun, let's say so." I don't think your Dalinghe defenders surrendered, they took the initiative to lay down their arms. The Chinese dictionary has only two words, death in battle and surrender, and the so-called surrender is apostasy. In fact, there should be a third option, as a soldier, after fulfilling his duty, he can choose to take the initiative to lay down his arms and be captured. ā
As soon as Sun Yi's words came out, the room full of soldiers was stunned.
Sun Yi explained to everyone: "The king humiliates the death of his ministers, it is just a nice saying, in fact, everyone knows why those who are soldiers are soldiers. In the Ming Dynasty, military households had to be soldiers, some people took the initiative to serve as soldiers to eat food, some people became soldiers to fight for a glorious and wealthy wife, and even sometimes the entire army could fight for others for money. ā
"Just imagine, it is the duty of a soldier to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. The defenders of the Daling River have been holding for three months, with no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside, and I think they have done their duty. ā
"A soldier who can do his duty is a good soldier, and in the end, he took the initiative to lay down his arms in order to save his life, which is understandable."
"Emperor Chongzhen wanted to let others humiliate his ministers to death and die unconditionally for himself, in fact, he was deceiving himself, but sadly in the end, he himself was convinced. The king humiliates the ministers to death, there can be, but the price he gives is far from enough! In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has implemented the use of Liao people to guard the Liao land, let me ask, Liaodong and Liaoxi, is there Liao land to defend? What he asked the Liao people to guard was just the gate of his old Zhu family. ā
Since the period of Changsheng and banditry, Sun Yi began to arrange for people to collect information about Aixinguo, and at this time Sun Yi told eloquently:
"The people of Liaodong have a saying, which says, 'It is better to be born in Liao than to walk in Hu', and the official government of Liaodong abandoned the people of Liaodong more than ten years ago. The Hu people came to loot, the government didn't bother to report, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have always only rescued the soldiers and not the people, Vice General Sun, I heard that you are a native of Liaoyang, let me check with you, is this the case? ā
Sun Dingliao hesitated for a moment and replied: "Jiannu is brutal, and the Holy Lord is actually powerless about the situation in Liaodong. ā
Sun Yi snorted coldly,
"The Holy Lord is not only powerless to Liaodong, but also to Shaanxi, to the Ming Jinguo, to North Korea, and even to the North Zhili at the foot of the Jingshi."
"Seeing hundreds of thousands of people's livestock being broken and plundered, what else can the Holy Lord do except close the gates of the Forbidden City? Did the Holy Lord, who was taken away, spend a penny to buy it back? ā
"Hmph, isn't it a little ridiculous that such a monarch expects others to die for his monarch? The common people set up a true dragon emperor as the emperor, and the plan can be to suppress the demons, and they can't even protect their own people. ā
Sun Dingliao's face turned pale all of a sudden, daring to evaluate the emperor like this is by no means a test of himself.
The rest of the room was full of rebels, and they couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, Sun Yi's words completely erased the trace of guilt they felt for the Ming Dynasty emperor in their hearts.
Sun Yi's words changed,
"Li Guang, five of your scouts were killed and one is missing. There is no objection to the five people who died as martyrs, and there are some different voices on how the missing one is evaluated, because some people think that he may have absconded. I want to ask you, do you think the missing scout did his duty? When he set off, do you think he was sure he would survive? ā
Li Guangzheng clenched his fists,
"When he was sent across the river, everyone knew that he would survive less than five to five. If it weren't for the fact that this scout risked his life at night to cross the river and send back the signal, the entire team would have been wiped out by Ai Xinguo, and he did his duty. ā
Sun Yiyi: "So in my opinion, this scout is also rated as a martyr." If something happens to him, being rated as a martyr can allow the dead to rest as soon as possible. If it is later discovered that he fled for his life after completing his mission, or even took the initiative to lay down his arms, it would be beyond reproach. ā
"Everyone has the right to live, and after completing the mission, asking for a way to live is nothing more than exercising the right to live, what is the crime?"
"Everyone is a soldier, and we all know that on the battlefield, there are often things that are obviously life-threatening, but someone has to do them. They've done it, they've done it, are we going to ask them to die? Do we have this right? ā
"If everyone agrees, I would like to establish a rule that the soldiers of the Ironwood Kingdom can take the initiative to lay down their arms after they have done their duty. After being captured, Tiemu will not hold him accountable for this, and will not affect his meritorious deeds, whether it is a ransom or an exchange of prisoners of war, Tiemu will try his best to save him home. ā
Sun Yi looked at the generals.
Ga Li Guang was the first to say: "I agree!" ā
Yang Ritian thought of Yang Shilang, who was exiled in the Yang family, and thought of his brother who was cut off on the way to escape, and said: "I agree!" ā
Bu Jiu hesitated for a moment, and said: "When things come to that point, I will not lay down my arms, but I will never stop my brothers from surviving. ā
Huatou Cabinet was most in favor of this proposal, the biggest risk of the caravan walking outside was to be robbed, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to speak in advance, so he took the opportunity to say: "Russia is also Zangcheng!" In fact, fighting a war is a transaction, and if the generals catch more prisoners when they fight in the future, we will not lose money in this transaction. ā
Mo Zhigen nodded in agreement.
Battle was full of reluctance, but the matter had come to this point, and he didn't agree to it, only he sulked.
Unexpectedly, Sun Dingliao learned the rules of Tiemuguo and hugged his fists: "I also agree!" ā
