Chapter 864: The Alliance (II)
History, Zheng Song on behalf of Zheng Hui set himself up as the prime minister of Taiwei Zuo, the prince of Shangguo, the authority is getting heavier, increasingly unsubordinate, sometimes there are words of rise and fall of Annan Wang Li Weibang is deeply worried, and Chinese New Year's Eve ministers Li and the first and others conspired to eliminate, so after the end of the Northern Expedition, through the Heavenly Dynasty military camp you arrest, declared its ten Chinese New Year's Eve crimes, told the ministers, comforted the soldiers, preferential treatment of the Zheng clan, the court situation was ......
However, if we put aside the embellishment of historians and restore the truth of history, we will find that without the Celestial Empire's army entering Vietnam, Le Weibang would not have been able to succeed. In fact, Zheng's single-handedly created and discovered the Li Dynasty, and Zheng Song was already the third generation, and he had already put the court up and down, both the military and the government, and operated like an iron bucket.
However, the arrival of the Ming army, while easily reversing the situation of the Northern and Southern War, also reversed the situation of the Li Dynasty Tai'a. On the same day to meet the Chinese New Year's Eve army in Da Nang, Le Weibang was humiliated by Zheng Song in public, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as filling with firewood and grass...... When Zheng Jian was there, he was still able to respect his own connection profile, but now he doesn't even have a hypocritical face, so the next step, is it time to abolish the establishment?
However, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Celestial Dynasty army appeared to swallow the heavens and the earth, and in the subsequent audience, he found that the people of the Celestial Dynasty only recognized himself as the king of Annan, but did not give Zheng Song any face, and his heart was beating uneasily, and he knew that when the Mo Dynasty was eliminated, it was the day of the Zheng dynasty's Daili. Horizontal and vertical are all death, why not give up and give Zheng Song a chance first! What's more, the Celestial Empire is the most important legal system, and the result is the king of Annan, who is knighted by the imperial court, even if that Shen Inspector doesn't help him, he shouldn't usurp the throne of the privileged ministers!
And today's attitude towards the two of them will definitely stab Zheng Song, and if he can't let himself meet the envoy again, if he doesn't do it today, he won't have a chance in the future. Holding the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after seeing Shen Mo, "Without three words, Li Weibang began to cry about himself, how he was bullied by the ministers, and how he was in danger, just now, that Zheng Song actually faced the ministers in front of the courtiers, if he brought a glass of wine to the courtiers, would the king of Chinese New Year's Eve dare to refuse?"
It is not a good tool to ask for this Li Weibang, although Zheng Song has said this, he means that he cannot refuse the Chinese New Year's Eve army of the Celestial Empire...... But the effect is still good" Shen Mo really said angrily on Chinese New Year's Eve: "This kind of chaotic thief, you can't stay!" ”
Li Weibang asked the Celestial Empire to help him regain his authority, and he knelt down in front of Shen Mo with a puff and said, "As long as the Celestial Empire is willing to be the king's master, the king is willing to sincerely dedicate the land to the Celestial Empire and restore the county!" ”
Shen Mo felt a little ridiculous, in the past, it was Li Weibang's old grandfather Li Li who rebelled and forced the Celestial Empire to restore its status as a vassal state, but now Li Li's descendants want to sacrifice their land to the Celestial Empire and restore the county, it is estimated that the old guy will be so angry that he will crawl out of the grave.
However, Shen Mo had long had a plan to provoke his prince's courtiers, and now it was just time to save trouble, so he replied comfortably: "The Chinese New Year's Eve King can have this thought, I believe that both Annan Cangsheng and His Majesty the Emperor are very pleased." But in the matter of dedicating the country, the lower officials have no right to be the master............ "When Li Weibang was desperate", he listened to his words and said: "It's better to do this, after his army returns to the court, the king of Chinese New Year's Eve will go to Beijing with our army and personally dedicate the country to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"Yes, yes" is all placed by the Chinese New Year's Eve. Li Weibang's heart rose again, and the feeling of loss just now caused by the dedication of the country turned into happiness, and he quickly asked: "Then dare to ask the Chinese New Year's Eve people, how do we get rid of the lost thief?" ”
"I feel that he is difficult to deal with, but in the eyes of the Celestial Empire, he is just a bidder who sells the head" said silently: "It's just that if you get rid of it now, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army" and affect the Northern Expedition Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Yes, yes," Li Weibang said with a worried face, "But once he captures Shenglong, won't the credit be more Chinese New Year's Eve, and won't he be even more unable to move him?" ”
"The people of the world don't look at the details, only look at the results, under his leadership, the Southern Dynasty was almost destroyed by the Northern Dynasty, no one will care how much Chinese New Year's Eve price he pays" Shen Mo said coldly: "The same thing, the people of the world only see that the Southern Dynasty regained the lost territory as soon as the heavenly soldiers arrived, and he Zheng Song can only be regarded as a fox and a fake tiger...... "After thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "When the Northern Expedition wins, it is also the time when he is the most lax, I will let Yu Chinese New Year's Eve You set up a banquet in the military camp, and send his confidants to announce the decree to him, if Zheng Song is called, If he dares to disobey the order, take him down and make his charges known to the whole army. ”
"......" Li Weibang over the years, I don't know how much I have thought about getting rid of the Zheng family's style, what thirty-six plans and nine links, how complicated it is, but I didn't expect that this heavenly court would use such a simple and reckless style, I couldn't help but block there, and I didn't know how to answer.
"Sometimes you have to be a little more reckless." Shen Mo smiled and explained: "The Zheng family has been in business for many years, and it has long been a monolith, and it can't be inserted if you want to, how can you slowly figure it out?" Once there is a slight change, the fish will definitely die, but it will be difficult to clean up. Fortunately, now is not a peaceful world, and when the legal system is strict, you can take advantage of it to be unprepared, take it down, take the initiative, and then slowly deal with the aftermath. ”
"Well............ Li Weibang pondered for a moment, and then bowed his head heavily: "It's all up to the top to place ......" and paused: "What if the army doesn't listen to constraints?" ”
"I hear, Zheng Jian is the fake son of Zhejing Gong, and Zhejing Gong has two sons." Shen Mo said lightly: "Why did the power fall on this fake son?" "Zhejing Gong is Ruan Gan, the one who established the Later Li Dynasty and the Fuli Zhuangzong on the throne.
"What is this......" Li Weibang nodded his head and said in a low voice: "At that time, Zheng Jian had been by the side of Zhejing Gong for many years, and his power was very Chinese New Year's Eve, and Zhejinggong's two sons were still too young to compete with him. ”
"Where are the two sons of Duke Zhejing?" Shen Mo asked lightly.
"The second son, Ruan Huang, is still alive
"How is the relationship with the Zheng family?" Shen Mo asked.
"It's not good, of course." Li Weibang said: "It's just that the Zheng family is in a Chinese New Year's Eve, and he can't help but deal with it." He said softly: "According to the Zheng family, he has assassinated him many times, but he has avoided it in a thrilling way. ”
"Just let him go to the barracks to announce the decree." He said in a deep voice.
Li Weibang nodded, and said with a full heart: "Yes......" He felt that this plan was a little inappropriate, but he couldn't do it, no, words.
So at the same time that Ruan Song announced the king's order to Zheng Song, Ruan Huang also appeared in the barracks, first announced the first will, rewarded the officers and soldiers, and rewarded his family members in the rear. This was followed by the second one, which announced Zheng's ten-year Chinese New Year's Eve crimes, including "Killing philosophers." framed Yang Zhiyi, as well as, murdered the eldest son of Duke Zhejing".
Before the officers and soldiers of Li woke up from their joy, they were immediately shocked and uncertain, and it was hard to believe that the Zheng family was over, and the backbone of the Zheng family could not resist being arrested like this, so they detained Ruan Huang and demanded the release of Zheng Song. Although in the will, only the Zheng family was asked, and the rest were not corrected, "but some officers and soldiers still habitually followed the Zheng family on Chinese New Year's Eve, so no one vetoed it."
The Ming army, on the other hand, warned the Li army that if they did not stop the rebellion immediately and handed over the leader, they would be destroyed by the order of King Annam.
When they saw the fully equipped Ming army, outflanking the barracks and regiments, the Li army realized that the military strength of the two sides had long since lost the one-to-one when the cable was untied. After a series of fierce battles, only half of the Li army remained, but the Ming army still had more than 37,000 people, not to mention that one side was exhausted and the other side had not lost energy; One side is backwardly equipped, the other side has excellent guns, how can this battle be fought?
Only then did Li Jun realize that the reason why King Chinese New Year's Eve dared to openly attack the Zheng clan was because he had won the support of the Celestial Empire's army......
In the process of attacking Thang Long City, the Li army had exhausted their blood and energy, and they could not afford to fight again, so they finally handed over the Zheng family, implying obedience to the king's will.
In the end, Zheng Song was escorted back to Thanh Hoa by sea, and with him, as well as dozens of boats from the surrendered army into the sea from the Red River, who knew that on the way there was a strong wind and rain, the boats sank and died, and none of them came back......
After hearing the news, Li Weibang cried bitterly, and said to Chinese New Year's Eve ministers: After the will has been written, I want to see him, first take a look, and then pardon him to govern the country in the future, and I can't do without ............him, and cry those soldiers again: "Why are these all our heroes gone?" ”
No matter how the ministers look at it, they all feel that it is fake, but now that the political tide is surging, Li Weibang, who has the support of the Celestial Empire, will definitely not give up, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and who will complain about those unfavorable ghosts?
At this time, news came from the north, Mo Maoqia and Mo Dunrang fled to the frontier, out of the town of Nanguan to ask the Ming army to surrender, the commander of the Ming army Yin Zhengmao accepted their surrender, and asked them to assist the official army to clear Wei Yinbao, Wei Yinbao suffered from the enemy's back, but also cut off the help, the situation was precarious, and finally a month later, was killed by his men, and surrendered his head.
The Wei Yinbao rebellion, which lasted for more than ten years, was finally extinguished by the official army. But what really shocked the Indochina Peninsula was the Ming army landing from Da Nang, and in just two months, the Mo Dynasty was beaten into a hole. The strong Chinese New Year's Eve regime, which is about to unify Annam, looks so vulnerable in front of the Chinese New Year's Eve Army of the Celestial Empire, which is tantamount to a blow to those countries that have been in the field since Chinese New Year's Eve. They hurriedly sent envoys to the Annamlao Army, offering countless treasures and asking the Celestial Empire to forgive them for their previous indiscretions.
The silent response was polite, and he sent envoys to various countries to tell them the purpose of the Celestial Empire's dispatch of troops and the reason for helping Le Weibang, because Le was the king of Annam, who was knighted by the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire's army had the obligation to help him when his peace was violated. However, the Celestial Empire will never send troops to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries before the king makes a request, so please believe that the Celestial Empire's army is the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of the peninsula and the most advantageous backing for the vassal kings......
In addition to removing the doubts of the countries, Shi also issued an invitation on behalf of Inspector Shen to gather the vassal kings of various countries to Thanh Hoa, and first, Inspector Shen faced you face to face to explain the latest national policy of our dynasty; Second, it is hoped that through this Chinese New Year's Eve meeting, the contradictions between various countries can be adjusted and a new order will be established on the Indochina Peninsula......
Burma, Siam, Chenla, Champa, Vientiane, Khmer and other seven Indochina Peninsula countries all received such invitations, although they were very conflicted emotionally, believing that this was a Hongmen banquet set up by the people of the Celestial Empire, but in the past, it was the most powerful country in Central and South China...... In front of Annan Fu's corpse, even the king of Burma did not dare to slack off again, and they all obediently went to the meeting.
On April 17, the sixth year of Longqing, all the registered clan kings of the Indochina Peninsula gathered in the Li Dynasty Imperial Palace in Thanh Hoa, Annam, to listen to the envoys of the Celestial Empire affirm the national policy towards Central South and that each vassal king of each vassal country must be knighted by the imperial court, and after being knighted, he is the clan king of the Chinese New Year's Eve Ming, and must pay tribute on schedule, and must not violate the decrees of the Chinese New Year's Eve Ming, the will of His Majesty the Emperor of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the decrees of the Chinese New Year's Eve Ming court. Its territory is regarded as an integral part of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Chinese New Year's Eve has exclusive rights over the property of each dependent country. Chinese New Year's Eve Ming people are free to pay and spend their passports in any of their cities, Chinese New Year's Eve Ming ships are free to call at all ports on the peninsula, etc., and Chinese New Year's Eve Ming goods have the most favored tariff rights......
More importantly, the Chinese New Year's Eve Ming Association set up the Nanyang Jingluo Mansion in Central and South China, and the seat of governance was in Annam Guishun Yi, that is, Shenglong, and His Majesty the Ming Emperor on Chinese New Year's Eve gave the name Guishun. The Nanyang Jinglu Prefecture has jurisdiction and judicial power over all holders of Chinese New Year's Eve passports in this place, and overseas Chinese cases can only be heard by the Jingliu Prefecture. In order to maintain peace and tranquility in the Indochina Peninsula and protect the Chinese New Year's Eve and Ming diaspora, the Nanyang Jingluo Prefecture will be equipped with troops, the specific number of which depends on the situation in the Southeast Peninsula.
In addition to the obligations, the subject State also has reciprocal rights. When you accept the knighthood, you will receive the right to pay tribute on a regular basis; Without violating the decree of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the vassal kings of each country appointed their own domestic officials and only needed to report to the imperial court: while the Chinese New Year's Eve was unique to the products of each subject country, each subject country could also obtain a quota for urgently needed daily necessities such as tea, silk, cloth, woolen wool, and porcelain. In addition, the people of all countries are free to pay and Chinese New Year's Eve their borders, their ships are free to call at all the ports of Chinese New Year's Eve, and their exports of goods Chinese New Year's Eve Ming are also entitled to the most favoured tariff treatment.
In addition, when there is a rebellion and the throne is threatened, the vassal kings of various countries can also turn to the Nanyang Jingluo Prefecture, and the Jingluo Prefecture will send troops to help them quell the rebellion as appropriate......
At first glance, it seems that rights and obligations are relatively equal, but what products can the backward countries of the South Seas export Chinese New Year's Eve? How many merchant ships are there at sea? So in fact, this series of treaties is to make the Nanyang countries into colonies, raw material suppliers and commodity dumping places for the Chinese New Year's Eve.
However, such a treaty of dissatisfaction in essence was generally accepted by the participating countries. For, firstly, Chinese New Year's Eve Ming did not interfere in their internal affairs, second, Chinese New Year's Eve Ming did not require their internal garrison, and thirdly, Chinese New Year's Eve Ming's reward was indeed great...... The quota of those scarce goods will bring huge wealth to the princes out of thin air. As for what will become of poor Annan, it is not a matter for the princes to worry about
