Four, three, eight, have to fight!
Without any warning, the 600,000-strong army of Annam, under the leadership of Nguyen Ngoc Thanh, the previously unknown prince of Annam, launched a surprise attack on the North Vietnamese Dynasty with lightning speed, but in less than ten days, the troops reached the border of the Ming Dynasty and incorporated the entire North Vietnamese Dynasty into their territory.
Ruan Ngoc Sung became famous in an instant, not only in Annan, but even in the surrounding countries, and his fame spread all over him. And the Annan people, who have always liked to exaggerate, call it the military god of southern Xinjiang.
The bloody sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, the bloody struggle of Mu Guogong, and the years of painstaking operation of the Ming Dynasty in southern Xinjiang came to naught in an instant.
The three major dynasties of Angkor, Khmer, and Siam, which were adjacent to Annam, all adopted an attitude of sitting idly by, not only holding their troops still, but even sending envoys to congratulate Annam after he occupied the entire territory of the North Vietnamese Dynasty.
The fifth day of the sixth month of the fifty-second year of Zhengde.
Thanks to the Ming Dynasty's extensive and highly efficient post station system, twenty days has been enough for the war in the southern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty to reach the capital.
The handwritten letter of the guards of the south of Daming Town, after being polished and processed by officials such as Pingxiangzhou, Taipingfu, and Guangxi Political Envoys, came to the imperial front, and almost at the same time, the information sent by a large number of secret agents who were ambushed in Annan and Guangxi by Jinyiwei also arrived at Jinyiwei's yamen through their unique channels.
Such a big event, the commander of the Jinyi Guard did not dare to slack off, and Lord Jiang Binjiang hurriedly climbed down from the belly of the seventy-eighth concubine in Xinna's seventy-eighth room this year, and then scooped up the sorted official documents and entered the Forbidden City.
Half an hour later, all the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet and the chief officials of the six yamen were summoned to the imperial study.
"On the third day of the fifth month, the 'puppet Yue Emperor' Ruan Quang Thanh appointed his son Ruan Yu as the general of the expedition to the north. There were 600,000 soldiers in the country, claiming to be 3 million. Launched a surprise attack on the North of Vietnam.
On the fourth day of the fifth month, the army conquered Thang Long Province, the first important town in the south of Vietnam, and all the 5,000 defenders of Thang Long Province surrendered.
Subsequently, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack Tuyen Quang Province, the capital of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, and besieged the city on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, and attacked the city on the same day.
Three days later, the city was broken, and the king of the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam, Le Thanh, and his five sons were killed in the city. His third daughter. Thirty-five concubines, all of whom were rewarded by Nguyen Ngoc Thanh to meritorious soldiers, and the civil and military generals of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty surrendered one after another.
A few days later, Nguyen Ngoc Thanh won a series of battles on May 15. Occupy the entire territory of North Vietnam.
30,000 Annam cavalry flaunted their might outside Zhennan Pass. At this point, the puppet Yue restored its territory to the borders before Mu Guogong went south last year. ”
The left attendant of the military department scooped a piece of Chen in his hand and read it with a heavy face.
The emperor specially decreed that Gui Cao's court meeting was exempted, and he also sent a doctor to see him, but today's major event, Gui Cao Gui did not dare to slack off. Coming with illness. It's just that in his current situation, his eyes are as red as a cherry, and there is only one slit left in the swollen state, and it is difficult to even open them, let alone read the text, so he has to do it for Dai Zhangpu.
Dai Zhangpu said every word. The faces of the people in the court were ugly.
There is no secret that can be hidden from people in this evil place in Beijing, especially when it comes to major politics. Before entering the palace, everyone heard a little rumor, saying that Annan was fighting again, but they didn't expect the situation over there to be so bad. The North Vietnam Dynasty, which the Ming Dynasty had painstakingly supported, was all occupied within a few days, and Annam regained its former territory!
Dai Zhangpu hadn't finished reading yet, he glanced at everyone, his face was a little ugly, his voice was lowered, and he continued: "In addition, my Ming Dynasty stationed in Annan military department member Wailang Qi Wenxiu, household member Wailang Wan Yuanlong, Yushi Wang Xiang, Like all gave Song Dawu and other officials in the matter seventeen people, more than one hundred subordinates, all of them were overpowered. ”…,
Everyone's eyes were on Wan Shiting, the head of the household, and Wan Shiting's fat face, which had always been smiling, was now a ball, looking more bitter than bitter gourd.
There is no other reason, among the Ming officials who were Kang in Annan, the household member Wailang Wanlong is undoubtedly the most dazzling one, the fifth Jinshi in the second class in the forty-sixth year of Zhengde, the young man is ambitious, and he is less than 30 years old when he serves as the household member Wailang, the fat shortage of the five products, which can be said to be a smooth future.
And he is also the only son of the Tobe Shangshu Wan Shiting. The son is angry, and he has always been very favored by Wan Shiting, which sent him to a wild place such as the Yuebei Dynasty, but also to make a big contribution, but he didn't expect that he was trapped there.
Wan Shiting is very popular among the ministers, and everyone is a little concerned when they see it.
"Now that the situation is clear, what do you think? Let's talk about it! ”
Zhengde said coldly, his face was as usual, but his eyes were cold and infiltrating, and his gray beard was constantly shaking and trembling, obviously in a state of rage.
Everyone here is a human spirit, and if everyone tastes the products carefully, it is not difficult to understand why the emperor is so angry.

The North Vietnam Dynasty is not other subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, those subject countries of the Ming Dynasty, every year to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, such as the North Korean kind of particularly loyal, when the Ming Dynasty needs, it is to provide the Ming Dynasty with high-quality war horses, yellow flower daughters and so on. But the North Vietnam Dynasty was different - when the North Vietnam Dynasty was first established, it was full of devastation, with no soldiers, no food, and no bureaucracy, so it can be said that it was poor and white. In order to help the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty establish the country, the Ming Dynasty allocated a large number of materials to Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and even the provinces of Huguangbu Political Envoy.
These materials include more than 3 million stone of grain, armor and weapons that can equip more than 100,000 people, 500,000 taels of silver, 500,000 pieces of cloth, 10,000 war horses, and even more than 20,000 catties of various medicinal materials.
In order to help the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam, the Ming Dynasty can be said to spare no effort, and its generosity can be compared to the practice of countless starvation deaths in our own country in a certain period of time hundreds of years later, but it still tightened its belt to support those so-called fraternal countries. These materials are enough to support a large-scale foreign campaign, and even before Mu Guogong fought bloodily in Annam, the imperial court did not allocate so many materials, more from the inventory of Yunnan Province and Mu Guogong's mansion. After this support. The savings of more than ten years in the Yunnan treasury of Liangguang were empty, and the poor rats could come in with a bag of tears.
Be stingy when it's time to be generous. When he shouldn't be generous, he was generous, and Da Ming finally tasted the bitterness.
Half a year can't be spent at all, those materials are undoubtedly cheaper for the Annanes, not to mention the rest, conservative estimates, these materials can add at least 100,000 heavily armed soldiers to Annan, and there are 10,000 cavalry among them.
This is the most naked enemy, if there is a war with Annan, I don't know how many Ming soldiers will be killed by the weapons made by the Ordnance Bureau of the Ming Military Department.
Compared with these materials, the dead Ming officials are also very angry. But it's less important.
And the destruction of the country that the Ming Dynasty single-handedly supported. In addition to the loss of materials, it is more of a huge damage to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty and China, as the traditional suzerains of East Asia for thousands of years, have always regarded the surrounding countries as Siyi and despised them. Coercion and rule, and those countries also hate and fear the Ming Dynasty. And this frightened attitude is based on the huge territory, strong strength and long-term ruling inertia of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was violated in this way, which will undoubtedly make the surrounding countries understand a signal - the Ming Dynasty is not so strong, so difficult to mess with. …,
And the most important reason is not those.
At the beginning, the Viet Nak Dynasty was established. The proposal to divide and rule the land of Annan was first put forward by Mu Guogong, but in the end it was started with the consent of the emperor.
And now, the Northern Dynasty of Vietnam has been beaten, and those obedient people who were regarded by the Ming Dynasty as having their hearts towards the Heavenly Dynasty have joined Annam. even took the initiative to surrender - this is simply a slap in the face, naked, viciously slapped the emperor with an ear scraper.
Just as the poor performance of the US military on the battlefield in Iraq proved that Rumsfeld's idea of building a digital army was completely wrong, this war that went so smoothly that it was inconceivable also proved that Emperor Zhengde's Annan policy was a big mistake - if those southern barbarians really have their hearts set on the Celestial Empire, at least don't surrender so actively! Rumsfeld's ending was to roll out of the Pentagon, and Emperor Zhengde naturally couldn't do this, but it was inevitable to feel a hot embarrassment on his face.
This is the real reason why the emperor is so angry.
After thinking about this layer clearly, everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear that if one was not careful, he would be used as a punching bag by the emperor.
After waiting for a while, seeing that these ministers below were all straight and straight poked there, like corpses, and did not speak, Zhengde, who was sitting on the throne, flashed a green anger on his face, he slapped the table suddenly, his face full of anger: "Why don't you speak?" Yes!? Isn't it all about talking on weekdays? Why are they all deaf and dumb now? Did you not hear me, or did you not have a tongue? Okay, if you don't speak, then I'll just point to it! ”
"Jiang Bin!" Zhengde said angrily: "How did you become the commander of the Jinyi Guard? Boast to me every day about how many people you have sent in Korea, how many people you have sent outside the Guan, how many people you have sent in the steppe, and how many people you have sent in Annam! Why can't Annan's large-scale use of troops be detected this time? That's 600,000 troops! It's not 600,000 ants, why can't your powerful spies detect it? Crying poor in front of me all day long, I want this and that, those departments of Jinyiwei are set up one after another, when Zhengde was fifteen years old, there were only a few thousand households in Jinyiwei, and now I am afraid that there are only one hundred and sixty or seventy! More than 100,000 Jinyi guards are all eating dry rice? Even I make you blush! ”
Emperor Zhengde was furious, and his beard was trembling.
Although Jiang Bin is extremely favored, he also knows that the emperor is angry, but he must not contradict it, besides, this time it is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of Jinyiwei, and he bears an unshirkable responsibility. He hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and knocked his head down: "The minister is terrified! The minister is guilty! ”
Everyone was a little surprised, but they didn't expect the emperor to scoop Jiang Bin first this time, and the relationship between the two is known to the world. Everyone's hearts are awe-inspiring, although the emperor's reprimand to Jiang Bin is just a reprimand, with the relationship between the two, unless Jiang Bin rebels, it can be said that Mount Tai is stable, but he also clearly saw an attitude from Zhengde - this time the emperor is really moved and angry, if everyone is still silent, you have to see!
However, this time Jinyiwei can indeed be said to be derelict in his duties.
Due to special historical reasons - the surrounding dangerous environment and the need for Yongle Dan to visit Emperor Jianwen - the Ming Dynasty should be the dynasty that attaches the most importance to intelligence among the dynasties of the Central Plains, especially Jinyiwei, which is certainly a terrorist spy organization that is terrified by the people of the world. But it is also an extremely efficient and widely distributed. The KGB and the CIA, which were not inferior in size to later generations, were a super intelligence organization with hundreds of thousands of horsemen and millions of peripheral intelligence officers.
However, Annan's disguise was indeed too good, first of all, he retreated very thoroughly, giving people a feeling of being unable to break the army, and in the days that followed, he was also very honest, and he did not dare to make waves in order to make Daming relax his vigilance. Moreover, after fighting with the Ming Dynasty for such a long time, Annan also had enough of the suffering of these spies of the Ming Dynasty, so he intensified the hunting and killing, and arrested a lot of people. led to a problem. It was the secret agents of Jinyiwei who had discovered the movement of the Annan army, but they did not send it out because they had to take great risks, or simply a link in the intelligence line was broken, resulting in the inability to transmit the information. …,
But in any case, it is a dereliction of duty.
"Are you afraid? Are you guilty? Zhengde sneered. Squinted at the ministers below: "Are you also frightened and guilty?" ”
The words were all said at this point, Yang Shen also had to come out to speak, he came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty of this matter, but according to the ministers' eyes, now, the situation is irreversible, let's discuss how to deal with it first, right?" ”
Zhengde was holding his stomach with a stomach full of anger. But seeing Yang Shen's old and tired face, he couldn't lose his temper at him no matter what-the first and auxiliary ministers of this boss empire are already too tired and tired to handle political affairs every day, as if they are walking on thin ice on the edge of the abyss.
Zhengde took a breath and waved his hand: "Cheng." Let's talk about it! Aiqing, tell me how to do it first? ”
"If you return to Your Majesty, there is only one word for the minister!" Yang Shen said in a deep voice: "That's fighting!" ”
The words of this old man are as firm as gold and iron, and they carry an incomparable sense of firmness and strength: "I have been a country for more than 100 years, and I have been a country for more than 100 years, and I have been subjugated by the Ming Dynasty, and I am still called a minister from time to time, especially when there is an internal dispute, I always ask my Ming Dynasty to adjudicate." This shows that I, Daming, in the eyes of these barbarians around me, am still the suzerain and supreme. Annan was so blatant in destroying the Yuebei Dynasty that I supported, and the ministers thought that it was not simply to regain the territory. ”
"Oh?" Zhengde said movingly: "Aiqing said carefully. ”
The other officials also looked solemn and listened carefully.
"Annan was able to organize an army of 600,000 so quickly, distribute weapons, and prepare sufficient food and wages, which was by no means something that his own country could bear, and the three countries of Angkor, Siam, and Khmer must have supported him. And judging by the ministers, they are a temptation to the Ming Dynasty. Yang Shen said in a deep voice: "If our Da Ming is indifferent and has no reaction, then in their eyes, it will undoubtedly be cowardice and powerlessness, and after a few times, they will think that our Da Ming is a paper tiger!" Not only them, if our Ming sits idly by, these evil neighbors around will all pounce on us and bite us fiercely! ”
"So let's fight! Not only to fight, but also to beat hard, to beat Annan painfully, to death! ”
Yang Shen waved his hand fiercely, and his thin face was full of coldness and hardness!
Of course, in other words, almost all the people are chauvinism, especially these courtiers, Yang Shen's words immediately won the support of most of the ministers.
Jiang Bin said loudly: "What Lord Yang said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" ”
Gui Cao, the secretary of the military department, and Dai Zhangpu, the left attendant of the military department, said in unison: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Other officials also seconded the proposal, Wan Shiting stood there with a gloomy face, and finally said with difficulty: "Minister, second!" ”
His heart was dripping blood, and there was no doubt that going to war with Annan would bury most of his son's already small vitality.
"What Aiqing said is very much in line with my intentions." Zhengde also had this idea in his heart, but he still had some doubts and said: "However, we have already agreed that after the autumn, the troops will be sent to Hami, and there will be a war in the northeast. ”
Wan Shiting shook his head and said expressionlessly: "If you return to Your Majesty, it is impossible!" Last year, Liaodong was defeated, it has already consumed two percent of the inventory of the household department, and now there are 5,600 complete stones of grain in the treasury, 14 million taels of silver, this year's drought in the Central Plains, the great hunger on both sides of the Yellow River, how much autumn grain can be harvested, the ministers really dare not say anything, and at least 20 million stone grain is needed to be set aside for relief of the victims, as well as various expenses, it is okay to support the two wars, but it is impossible to fight on three sides! ”
The more he said Zhengde, the darker his face became, but he also knew that Wan Shiting was telling the truth, and he didn't mean to stumble himself.
"Only two?" Zhengde said with a dark face: "Wan Aiqing, can't you think of a support?" ”
"It's not impossible!" Wan Shiting said: "As long as Your Majesty stops the construction of the North Pole Palace, it will naturally be enough." ”
"You!" Zhengde was furious, pointed at Wan Shiting and said: "The man and the old horseman, you have to be sincere and can't get along with me, right?" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
