The Ayutthaya dynasty is holding a court meeting.

King Parase was worried, and although the Taungoo Dynasty had changed kings one after another, their humanity and national strategy remained the same, and each one was more belligerent than the other, and they had already encroached on large areas of the Ayutthaya Dynasty.

Hua Hin and Guiburi in the south have been completely cut off from Ayutthaya and the Manchu Ka kingdom by Taungoo, and Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son in the north have also fallen, but the Taungoo dynasty has not stopped, and the army is moving south, which is already approaching Sukhothai.

Paracel estimated that Arabilon was going to his entire kingdom.

"General Ba Song, you are the general of Dacheng, do you have a good way to retreat?" In fact, Parase did not have much hope for Ba Song, the elite army of the 100,000 Taungoo Dynasty was really not comparable to the Ayutthaya Dynasty, since the grand appearance of Arabi to unify the Taungoo Dynasty, the national strength has increased greatly, much stronger than the Ayutthaya Dynasty, and constantly encroached on the land of the Ayutthaya Dynasty from the north and south.

"Your Majesty, the current number of troops in the north is too small, only 50,000, and if you want to repel the army of Donghu, the only way to transfer troops from the south is to transfer troops." In front of Palase, Ba Song was as docile as a Persian cat, the army in his hands was only 50,000, and the level of training was far inferior to that of Donghu's army, more than 10,000 people were still temporarily recruited, and there was no cooking rice, and it was really difficult for him, a clever woman, to do anything.

"South? Arabilon is also a soldier on the southern border, and he may invade at any time, so he can draw the army from the south? Do you have any other options? "Parase knows the current military strength of Ayutthaya, but Ba Song is the supreme military commander of Ayutthaya, and he usually enjoys a high status and a lot of money, and now that the national crisis is at hand, how can he not worry about himself?

"Your Majesty ......" Ba Song lowered his head, not daring to look at Palasse again, as the general of the big city, he couldn't resist the invasion of Donghu and share the worries of the king, he really felt ashamed, but the army of Donghu has now occupied the jungle area in the north, and is about to enter the plain area in the middle, and the big city is already in five dangers to defend, and he really has no confidence to defeat the opponent.

"Ba Song, how is the war in the north now?" Parase looked at the nested Ba Song, and a nameless fire rose in his heart.

"陛xià......"

"Say!" Parase's voice rose sharply an octave, and the courtiers fell silent, lest Palacé's anger burn on their heads. [(7)dǐng【(7)diǎn【(7)小【(7)語,.↙.o≈s_();

"Donghu's army is about to enter the plain area......" Ba Song peeked at Palase, and saw that the ice on Palase's face was not thickened, so he dared to continue: "Once Donghu's army enters the plain, it will definitely advance in many directions, and then the frontal defense of our army will be wider, and the difficulty of defense will increase significantly......

Parase said sharply: "Ba Song, you mean that our army will be difficult to resist the Donghu army? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare, the minister must be smeared to repay His Majesty." Ba Song shuddered, and his legs involuntarily went limp.

"Ba Song, get up." Seeing Ba Song like this, Palac knew that it would be in vain to persecute him again, "If you recruit troops now, wouldn't it be better?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Donghu Army has been in battle for a long time, and both its combat effectiveness and the will to fight are very strong, if it is conscripted now, it is only some untrained people, and in front of the Donghu Army, I am afraid it will not be of much use."

"Then tell me, what else can be done?" Parase also ran out of ideas.

"Your Majesty, if you want to stop the Donghu army in the high ground in the north, you can only draw strictly trained soldiers from the south." Ba Song knew that this was drinking to quench his thirst, but he couldn't take care of it anymore, first blocking the Donghu army in the north, and then waiting for the situation to change, maybe there would be another civil strife within the Donghu Dynasty.

"No, absolutely not." Parase categorically rejected Ba Song's proposal, "Once the army from the south is transferred to the north, and the army is still halfway, I am afraid that the Donghu army will march from the south, and the southern battlefield is so close to the big city, do you want the East to break the big city again?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Ba Song gradually regained his strength, "the minister personally went to the north and commanded the soldiers to fight, and perhaps he could prevent the Donghu army from entering the plain." ”

"Ba Song, as long as you can stop the Donghu army, you want money for money, food for food, and people for people," Palase saw a real general, "General Ba Song, how sure are you of blocking the Donghu army on the high ground?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister must do his best, and then die."

Ba Song is going to die, Palase's heart suddenly cooled half, he no longer looked at Ba Song, but turned his gaze to the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have a good plan to retreat?" ”

At such a critical juncture, without two brushes, who would dare to take the conversation? One by one, the ministers lowered their heads, avoiding Parase's gaze, lest Parase ask him.

Silence, deathly silence in the courtroom.

Parase sighed softly, and was about to dissolve the court, it seemed that he was about to die.

"Your Majesty, there is a way for the minister, I don't know if I can save the big city?" Seeing that Ba Song couldn't hold back a fart for a long time, the national teacher Putty had no choice but to come out and play.

"What is the best plan for the national teacher?" Parase seemed to grasp the last straw, and the upper eyelids, which had been slightly drooping, were quickly pulled up, and the cloudy pupils suddenly had some divine light.

"Your Majesty, can you remember that the Ayutthaya Dynasty is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and it has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty?"

"The national teacher is saying, asking Daming to send troops?" Parase's upper eyelid drooped again, apparently not satisfied with Pouty's opinion.

"Exactly." Putty noticed Parase's actions, and he spoke his mind anyway.

"But a few years before the Ming Dynasty, it was still beaten by the Donghu army and couldn't find the north, not to mention that a large area of territory in Yunnan is still under the control of the Donghu army." Parase wasn't sure if Da Ming was willing to send troops, and he was even less sure if Da Ming was capable of dealing with the Donghu army.

"Your Majesty, at this time and that time, as far as the minister knows, the main energy of the Ming Dynasty at that time was still the Mongols and Jurchens in the north, so they could not concentrate their forces to go south, and now the Jurchens have been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongols have also been weakened by the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has eased up."

"Da Ming, became strong overnight?" Parase is still not sure.

"Do you remember that this summer, the Mongols and the Shuote tribe and the Tibetans rioted in Usizang and Duogan, and it took two months for the Ming Dynasty to suppress this riot against the Han people?" Putty had confidence in the Ming Dynasty, especially since he heard about the series of political and military incidents that took place in the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Youzhen's accession to the throne, and he was fully convinced that the Ming Dynasty had the strength to regain the occupied territories from the Donghu Dynasty.

"Well, I've heard of this," a hint of joy appeared on Parase's face, "National Teacher, can you be sure that the Ming Dynasty will definitely send troops for my Ayutthaya Dynasty?" ”

Parasexin said, there are so many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, can it manage it? Besides, it's been a long time since we've been to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute.

"As long as His Majesty asks and gives certain conditions, the minister is eighty percent sure that Daming will send troops." Putty has already been in contact with Da Ming's interrogation and knows Da Ming's current attitude, "Besides, looking at the world, who can save Dacheng now?" ”

"National teacher, what conditions will Da Ming propose?"

"Majesty, this ...... The minister can't say for sure. Putty glanced at his ministers and said no more.

"Scattered Dynasty, except for the national teacher and the general, the rest of the people should retreat." Palasse understood what Putty must have to say, but there were too many courtiers, how did he know that there were no spies from Donghu among them?

"Your Majesty, the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers really don't know, but, judging from the recent expeditions of the Ming Dynasty, it is nothing more than two diǎn," Putty saw that the ministers had retreated, and then spoke, "One is money and grain, and the other is land." ”

"Money and grain is easy to say, but this land is ......" Parase is not without regretting money and grain, but Dacheng has been pressed on the head by Donghu, and the war itself consumes a lot of money and grain, if Daming can really relieve the pressure from Donghu, not only can save money and grain, but also stabilize the country, it will inevitably produce more money and grain, and the rice in Dacheng is basically two or three crops a year.

"Your Majesty, the matter of land, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and other places in the north that were occupied by Donghu, were originally the eight hundred Dadian Xuanwei Division of the Ming Dynasty, but if they don't give it, the Ming Dynasty will have to go back sooner or later, and now it has been annexed by the Donghu, and the northern part of the Malay Peninsula in the south has been occupied by the Donghu for many years, and there is basically no hope of recovery, if the Ming Dynasty makes land claims, these two places will be handed over to the Ming Dynasty." Puti's meaning, Daming can ask for land, you go to Donghu to ask for it.

"It must be ensured that the land in Ayutthaya will not be reduced now." This is the bottom line in Palase's heart, as for the two pieces of land that Puti said, it is difficult to recover it anyway, Daming wants to ask for Donghu's army, once the two sides are pinched, it will definitely weaken Donghu's strength and win long-term peace and stability for Dacheng.

"This is natural, Dacheng is here to assist Dacheng, and he will definitely not let Dacheng cede his own land." Putti saw that Parase agreed in principle, so he was relieved, as for the matter of money and food, he was a national teacher, and he could also get certain opinions.

"However, after the Ming army comes, stationed on the border of my big city, will it pose a greater threat to my big city?" Ba Song believes that since the Ming can defeat Donghu, it means that the Ming Dynasty is stronger than Donghu, and the threat to Dacheng will be greater.

"What better way could the general retreat from the enemy?" Puti's voice suddenly raised five degrees, his tone seemed stiff, and his eyes were full of mockery, since you, the general who commanded the army, can't use military means to solve Donghu, then I, the national teacher, use politics to strategically retreat the army, what qualifications do you have to object?

"This ......," Ba Song was speechless.

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty should have no ambition for my big city, Siam is the fifteen non-conquest countries personally determined by Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, besides, if the Ming Dynasty has the heart to conquer my big city, my big city can't even resist Donghu, what strength is there to resist the Ming Dynasty?" Putty also glanced at Ba Song, he always believed that Daming was not a country that pursued expansion, otherwise, several countries in the south would have long been Daming's dish.

"This ......" Ba Song seems to be an eight-month-old baby, and he will say this one word.

"Your Majesty, whether it is today or in the future, the big city must rely on the Ming Dynasty."

"What do you mean by this?" Parase frowned, could it be that the big city must rely on the Ming in order to survive?

"Needless to say, the crisis that Dacheng is facing today, has you forgotten that the south is not a Donghu." Putty kindly reminded Parase?

"The national teacher is talking about the red hair in the south?" Parase forgot about the red hair for the time being because he was worried about Donghu.

"Your Majesty, the red-haired fire # gun, but it is much more powerful than Donghu's saber, and the battle this spring ......"

"National Teacher, don't say it," Parase was really unbearable to look back, dozens of red hairs, and even defeated hundreds of his elites, "What is the way for the national teacher to resist red hairs?" ”

"Your Majesty, the red-haired firearms are powerful, and the minister really can't," Putty, like Ba Song, also drooped his head, but he quickly raised his head, "Your Majesty, the minister's meaning, let Da Ming deal with these red hairs, only Da Ming, it is possible to defeat these red hairs." ”

"But, the red-haired firearms are so powerful, is Daming willing to go?" Parase regrets that he has not been paying tribute to Daming, and now that there is a disaster in the country, go and ask Daming for help, who knows if Daming will still take care of you?

"Your Majesty, didn't we give Daming a piece of land in the south? With this land, Daming must be protected, why worry that Daming will not drive away the red hair? Ba Song waited for a long time, and finally interjected.

Putty gave an appreciative look, which was a reconciliation between the two sides.

Parase found that something was wrong: "National teacher, great general, this land in the south does not border the land of Daming, it is just an enclave, does Daming want it?" ”

Ba Song was suddenly deflated.

Putty also found out about this problem, "Your Majesty, try it, you must let Daming swallow this bait." ”
