After thinking about it, Ye Yingwu suddenly felt nothing strange about the inexplicable attack and tragic defeat of the Delhi Sultanate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, he has always trusted the Delhi Sultanate, but ignored the location of the Delhi Sultanate, seven hundred years later, this land lives on the third brother, the magical people, although the Delhi Sultanate and the later generations of the third brother believe in a different religion, but the magic in the blood must be passed down in the same line. Arrogance and repeated defeats······ The third brother seems to like to play like this.

Thinking of this, Ye Yingwu couldn't help but chuckle, as if he was laughing at the Delhi Sultanate, and as if he was laughing at himself for how he handed over the deadliest western flank of the South Seas to such an ally, knowing that it was better to directly annex the Delhi Sultanate and use this area as a buffer.

Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi obviously didn't know that His Majesty still had the heart to smile in the face of such an eight-hundred-mile urgent military situation, Su Liuyi immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the Xuanwu Army that originally pacified Nanyang has gone north, so now only the Jingjiang Army and the Dali Army on the north side of Nanyang still have the strength to fight, and the rest of the local Xiang Army and the armies of Srivijaya and other countries, the minister thinks that it is okay to let them protect the state capital, but if they want to fight a decisive battle with the Ilkhanate, it is inevitably a bit big." ”

"After Li Fu took the Xuanwu Army away, General Ma Lao was in charge of the land in the South Seas, what did General Ma Lao say?" Ye Yingwu looked at the signed Ma Yan on the concerto, and asked while opening the recital.

Glancing at each other, neither Wen Tianxiang nor Su Liuyi spoke.

"What's the matter, I see that only a few sentences in General Ma's recital are urgent, haven't you been analyzing the strength of the enemy and me later?" Ye Yingwu swept the chapter with great interest.

"General Ma Lao resolutely asked for war." Wen Tianxiang stubbornly said, "However, General Ma Lao is very old, and the general of the Dali Army, Lou Yong, specifically mentioned this matter in the recital, for the sake of General Ma's body, it is recommended to let the Jingjiang Army be behind, and he will lead the Dali Army to go up first." ”

Ye Yingwu also saw the clear words of invitation to fight at the back of the chapter, and nodded: "Then what is your opinion in the political affairs hall?" ”

"The minister is also against it." Su Liu Yi said loudly, "General Ma Lao and General Gao are the pillars of the country, General Gao led the Tianxiong Army to attack Hexi, which has made the political hall and the military department fearful, afraid that the old general will have any accidents, and now General Ma Lao is also going to fight, if there is any accident, my Ming military can not withstand this loss!" ”

Ye Yingwu did not refute Su Liuyi's answer, he knew very well what kind of status Ma Yan and Gundam had in the Ming Army. These two straightforward and strong veterans, have been famous for a long time, in the former Song Dynasty is the pillar of the army, to the Ming Dynasty, it is the symbol of the army and living fossils, their protégés and apprentices are all over the army, not to mention the high morality, and these years of conquest of the world, outstanding meritorious service, let these two old generals go into battle, it is a little inappropriate, and if the two have any accidents, it has to cause a shock in the Ming army.

Ye Yingwu squinted his eyes, turned to the last page of the recital, and smiled bitterly: "But can you stop it, you see that Ma Qing's family has copied these two words here, isn't this forcing me to let him rush forward?" ”

Although Su Liu Yi and Wen Tianxiang didn't look at it carefully, they still knew the last words, which was Xin Qiji's famous "Yongyule Jingkou Beiguting Nostalgia". Especially the last "Who asks, Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" It was written by the old general about the dragon flying and phoenix dancing, and the power penetrated the back of the paper, and the passionate feelings and enthusiasm that the old general wrote here can be seen.

Ye Yingwu looked at Su Liuyi a little helplessly and said, "If I don't agree, wouldn't it be like this to button up the hat of 'faint monarch'?" Could it be that the two Aiqing just wanted me to wear such a hat, and then push him to a position where his ambition was as difficult to reward as Lian Po and Xin Qiji? ”

Wen Tianxiang and Su Liuyi were speechless for a moment.

And Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and looked at the chapter: "The old general wrote very clearly in the chapter that the Ilkhanate has now moved to dispatch troops, and their attack on the Delhi Sultanate is to open up the South Seas of our Ming Dynasty to the east, so as to contain us as much as possible. Therefore, the old general's opinion is to fight a fierce battle and hurt the Ilkhanate, and we can stop for a while and take the opportunity to settle the matter in the north first. ”

Su Liuyi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this battle is not easy to fight, originally the focus of the Ilkhanate's defense was on the northern Haidu Department of the Ogedai Khanate, but now the Haidu and my Western Regions army are in a decisive battle, and the heavy defensive troops on the south side are even being transferred to the north, which also makes the Ilkhanate empty, and obviously now the major Mongolian khanates are also aware that we are the biggest threat, so the Ilkhanate will inevitably come to attack the South Seas with the strength of the country." With just the two main armies on the front line, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop ······"

"Is there still an army that can be drawn from the entire Ming Dynasty now?" Ye Yingwu immediately asked rhetorically.

Su Liuyi was stunned for a moment, indeed, half of the main army of the Ming Dynasty can't be withdrawn now, so let the local army gather and go forward, I really don't know if it's going to fight or make trouble.

"Don't worry, an Ilkhanate can't deal with it, and he doesn't dare to amplify his words here, not to mention don't forget, we still have the Nanyang Navy." Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, "Even if we really lose Zhenla, with the navy, the Ilkhanate will not dare to do anything to Annan and the islands in the South Sea, we will have a chance to turn the tables in the future." What's more, now that the fighting in the Western Regions is fierce, as long as we can gain the upper hand and defeat the Ögedai Khanate, the Ilkhanate will also have to guard to the north, in case our army attacks from the Western Regions to the south or even directly from Tibet. ”

Su Liuyi and Wen Tianxiang glanced at each other, and immediately understood that Ye Yingwu had made up his mind: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"Hit!" Ye Yingwu Huoran stood up and slapped the table fiercely, "It's all coming to the door, how can there be any reason not to beat it hard!" Now it is proposed to add Ma Yan as the envoy of the Annan Festival and the general of Daming Town, and the commander-in-chief of the entire Nanyang land and water army, including the Nanyang Navy, the Dali Army, and the Xiang Army, the Three Buddhas and other vassal armies, all obey the dispatch of Ma Qingjia, and the state capitals of Annan Province and Yunnan Province will fully cooperate with the actions of the army. appointed Lang Jiangduo, the right attendant of the household department, as the grain station of the Nanyang march, and was fully responsible for the transfer of grain, grass, money, and equipment; Appointed Zuodu Yushi Yao Zhi as the inspector of the Nanyang March, and was fully responsible for the judgment of those who were corrupt and avoided the war and did not obey the orders during the march of the army! ”

"Obey the order!" Wen Tianxiang and Su Liu Yi fought together and responded at the same time.

Ye Yingwu exhaled lightly and looked up at the half of the imperial study illuminated by the sun.

He knew that if the Nanyang War dragged on, it could be delayed, and Ma Yan strongly asked to take the initiative to fight at this time, which was also selfish, and an old general finally fought for the country and even did not hesitate to shroud himself in horse leather.

As a former Song veteran, Ma Yan has experienced the suffocation and grievances of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has also experienced the joy of the Ming Dynasty when he swept Dali and Nanyang, but as Nanyang has settled down over the years, he estimates that he has understood that he may not have any more battles in his life, and with the Ming Northern Expedition going on, the Gundam with his own name killed fiercely in the Western Regions, and it is impossible for Ma Yan to say that his hands are not itchy.

As a veteran general who has fought all his life, of course, he hopes to be able to throw this blood on the road of fighting for the country. Otherwise, he would not hesitate to bring out "Lian Po" and "Xin Qiji" to plead with Ye Yingwu to fight.

Regarding the old general's wish, Ye Yingwu can be said to have agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Of course, it was not only because of the old general's request, but also because Ye Yingwu also knew that only by beating the Ilkhanate all at once could Nanyang be stable, and those vassal states could be truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, which is advancing wildly, he also needs to have a big victory in Nanyang to prove himself, to prove that he has the ability to hold the land and protect these vassal states.

If you want to fight, you will fight a big one!

————————————————-

Nanyang, an important town in the south of Yunnan-Yunnan Province, was formerly the capital of Angkor, and the famous Angkor Wat is located.

Although Zhenla has perished, the Ming Dynasty did not abandon Angkor, an important town in the South Seas. In fact, the previous Angkor Thom was only adapted to the needs of the original low-intensity warfare between the small countries of the South Seas, not to mention whether the walls supported by trees and earth could withstand the continuous bombardment of the Ming artillery, and it may even be impossible to stop the Mongol trebuchets.

Therefore, after occupying the whole territory of Chenla, the Ming Dynasty immediately rebuilt and strengthened the city of Angkor Thom, after all, there are experienced officials of the Ministry of Industry, and there are a large number of prisoners of war in Chenla, so there is no need to worry about the problem of manpower and material resources.

The Nanyang rainforest is difficult to transport, and there is a lack of stones, so the Ming Dynasty simply used the Nanyang Navy's flying clippers to transport stones from the islands and other places, all in accordance with the style of the Central Plains to build the city, including the enemy's platform, horse face and other unseen and unheard of city defense system that the Zhenla people had never seen before, and the city defense system was not bad, especially the tropical rainforest was originally rainy, so the trench dug outside the city connected to the drainage canal in the city became a natural moat.

Angkor Thom was operated by the Ming Dynasty as a real important town in the South Seas, and with the continued extension of the Maritime Silk Road and more merchants, this city was not small in scale, but also more prosperous, the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, and the original rainy day is full of muddy roads, the main roads are all paved with stones, and the rest of the lanes are paved with large bricks of uniform firing, so as to avoid the rainy day cars and horses falling into the mud to block the road, but also make it more convenient for people to travel.

If the cities of the Central Plains still have Chinese characteristics, then Angkor Thom, which is far away in the South Seas, should be regarded as a completely modern city.

And in the city, the most eye-catching is the former Zhenla Palace, although this palace is not too big, but it is already one of the best among the countries in the South Seas, after all, before the Ming Dynasty conquered Zhenla is the first real country in the South Seas. Because Ye Yingwu once lived in the palace, so this is the palace of His Majesty in Nanyang, and the original low houses outside the palace have been replaced by Central Plains style buildings at this time, and this is the real administrative center of Angkor Thom and even half of Nanyang, and it is also one of the government offices of Yunnan Province.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" The sky was dark, Angkor Thanh was broken by the sound of galloping horses' hooves, a group of cavalry from all directions gathered in the palace, and the entire road outside the palace was full of Ming soldiers with swords in hand, and the officials and catchers composed of Zhenla people patrolled the whole city, and their eyes constantly swept around the streets, as if anyone who made them look unpleasant could be caught first.

Nanyang is the rear of the Ming Dynasty, and Angkor Thom is one of the centers of the South Seas, the people here have long been accustomed to the usual singing and dancing and economic and trade prosperity, such a large army of vigilance, the appearance of being ready to go back to the Ming Dynasty just took Angkor Thom.

Many Chinese merchants and Zhenla people poked their heads out curiously, and the Zhenla Catchers and Ming cavalry who were cruising the streets did not warn them, but just looked at every face carefully before walking by. The Zhenla people, who realized that something must have happened, closed their windows one after another, and the Chinese merchants were just the opposite, and several merchants from the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce hurried out without giving instructions to the store, and there was already a team of Ming cavalry waiting at their door.

This Nanyang is not like the Central Plains, and most of the cities are actually warehouses and shops of Chinese merchants, who use these Nanyang cities as transshipment stations to transport them inland or to the West. Therefore, there are major events in Angkor Thom, and the government does not want to hide the intention of these merchants, but they have been to the South and Western Seas for many years, with extensive contacts and strong family wealth, and they are even more aware of the surrounding terrain than the government.

"Brother Qin!" Seeing a thin merchant coming over, another chubby merchant who was already waiting at the door of the government hurriedly greeted him and gave his hand, both of them are big businessmen in this Angkor city, and their fleets have spread all over the East, South and West, one sells silk and the other sells porcelain, and they do not conflict with each other, so there are many cooperative relations and good personal relations, "Brother Qin, we haven't seen each other for half a year!" ”

"Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed!" The thin merchant smiled and returned the salute, and then looked back at the street where the sound of horses' hooves continued, "The presidents of several chambers of commerce and important businessmen in Angkor City are here, what is going on, could it be that the Nanyang monkeys are not honest again?" ”

Silk merchant Zhang Qi shook his head: "I don't know, but since we came to this Angkor City, we haven't seen such a big battle, not to mention us businessmen, the foolish brother came one step earlier, just now I saw more than ten generals walking in neatly lined up, but I was really startled." ”

Porcelain merchant Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, from here he could vaguely hear the sound of talking in the palace, the voice was very intense, no wonder Zhang Qi would rather stand at the door and blow the wind than go in, the bigwigs who held military power and political power inside were estimated to be arguing, with Zhang Qi's cleverness, he was naturally unwilling to go in alone and drip muddy water.

"You're here early!" The rest of the businessmen also rushed over at this time, and when they saw Zhang Qi and Qin Feng not even tidying up their collars, they all had smiles on their faces.

"What's so funny, you guys are all the same." Zhang Qi laughed and said, everyone was dragged out of the bed early in the morning, each other.

Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about these things yet, since the government is in a hurry to call us all here, let's hurry up and take a look, nine times out of ten it is a useful place for us." We can have today's industry, quite favored by the imperial court's Nanyang policy, since the imperial court has needs, we should do our best. Can't let others laugh at us, the maritime businessmen, don't know how to learn about Entu! ”

"Lao Qin is right!" The businessmen have echoed, before the Song Dynasty, everyone was still cowering in Quanzhou, and they couldn't open the situation, and even because of the deliberate suppression of the Ilkhanate, everyone's business was depressed and bleak, until later the Ming Dynasty took the lead in opening up the South Seas, pacified Annan and Zhenla in the first war, and leased it to Xingzhou from the hands of the Three Buddhas, it can be said that all the throats on the Nanyang road fell into the actual grasp of the Ming Dynasty, and the originally blocked trade routes were once again unimpeded, and even the accompanying protection of naval warships, even the original haunted pirates did not have to worry, It is impossible to forget this kind of kindness as a Chinese person.

Since the Ming Dynasty is in need now, these businessmen are naturally willing to do their best to repay their kindness, and such a court is worth their efforts.

At that moment, everyone did not hesitate and followed Qin Feng closely.
