Mo accompanied the servants back to the main mansion, and after a while, a large group of messengers rushed out, and soon the entire Thang Long province was in turmoil, and even this commotion spread to North Hanoi 6 as the messengers left the city.
In the evening, the auxiliary officials of the five prefectures who had already finished their meals gathered in the council hall of the main mansion, and several town guards who were relatively close to each other - the Later Li Dynasty imitated the Tang system and set up thirteen roads in the locality, and the Zhongxing Li Dynasty changed the route to the town, appointing senior military generals to control the main power of a town guard, so as to reflect the characteristics of the Zheng Zhuwu people's regime - at this time also hurried back from the station.
Under the high light of the candles, the meeting officially began. First, Escort Mo relayed Zheng Fan's request and promise to the Beihe officials present, some of whom already knew the details and therefore seemed to be quiet, while others did not know in advance and were shocked at first glance.
When the words of Mo Escort landed, someone immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, the northerners are tricky, and they must not agree." β
Everyone looked around, but it was Chen Yide, the Marquis of Shunde, who served as an attendant as an academician of the Hanlin Academy, only to see this Chen Hou come out of the line to salute, and then said: "Gaoping is my Wang family who has worked hard to get it back from Mo Yi's hands, and the north of the Xuanjiang River is also a dangerous mountain pass, just like Yanyun and the Song Dynasty back then, and now the northerners want to take away the false name of a Jiaozhi king, it's a joke." β
Everyone present nodded one after another, yes, now Emperor Li is called the Emperor of Standing, Lord Zheng is called Emperor of Standing, and the canonization of Ming Zheng is just an admission of the facts, even if there is no edict, the master of Annan can still turn it over.
However, although the civil and military officers of the Li Wei Dynasty understood this truth, they could not help but worry about the threat of Zheng Fan, so Hu Aoping, a scholar of the National Academy of History, who was a member of the Academy, came out and asked several of the governors of the five armies on the side of the military ministers: "If the Beiyu said that if he did not allow it, he should raise troops to come, and he did not know that the five provinces could be sure to resist." β
The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of Annam is the Central Military Mansion, the Southern Military Mansion, the Western Military Mansion, the Eastern Military Mansion, and the Northern Military Mansion, which are not completely consistent with the Five Military Governor's Mansions named after the Ming Dynasty. And unlike the governors of the five military governors of the Ming Dynasty, each of the five military governors of Annan has two actual governors of the left and right, so there are all about ten of the most senior military generals at the level of the governors, of which each government either chooses the left or right to serve as the head of the government and the affairs of the government to participate in the discussion of the main government, but the highest military power is in the hands of the Zheng lord or the prince of Zheng with the title of "moderation".
Therefore, it was just a few high-ranking heralds who were in charge of the government and the government affairs to look at each other, among which Zheng Tuo, the uncle of Zheng Gen, the current lord of Zheng Gen and the prince of Anxi County, responded: "I'm afraid I can't." β
Why not, the reason is very simple, the total number of Zheng Zhu's army is less than 60,000, of which as a standing army recruited from Zheng Zhu's hometown of Qinghua Town, Sanfu, Yi'an Town, 12 counties of the "excellent soldiers" is only more than 15,000 people, the rest of the 40,000 people are mainly soldiers and farmers, soldiers and farmers are a combination of soldiers and farmers.
These 10,000 "excellent soldiers" are divided into 5,000 people who guard (monitor) Emperor Li, 6,000 people who guard Zheng Zhu, and 4,000 people who stay in Qinghua's old nest, and the "first soldier" is the main force of the garrison place. However, the "first soldiers" were not only poorly treated, but also extremely weak in weapons and equipment, and even rarely practiced, only as a police force to suppress the people, and sometimes had to cultivate their own crops to supplement the shortage of military rations, so Zheng Zhu could not rely on these peasant soldiers who could not even play with swords and guns to resist the strong enemy in the north.
And Zheng Tuo still has an unspeakable secret that cannot be declared. That is, the "excellent soldiers" who are the foundation of Zheng Zhu's rule have long been as arrogant and difficult to control as the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and they are vulnerable.
Before Hu Aoping could speak, another attendant on the side blurted out, "Why not!" β
Zheng Tuo swept the imperial history of the imperial history of the imperial history named Ding Chaoyi, and replied lightly: "Lord Ding, it has been fifteen years since the main mansion and Ruan rebelled against the army, and many soldiers in various places have not practiced, how can they defeat the Zheng army that defeated the Qing army." β
Ding Chao's eyelids jumped slightly, he knew that he had asked the wrong question, he must know that the truce between the lord and the lord of Nguyen was because the current Zheng lord Zheng Gen was forced to stop making peace when he failed to lead the army to attack the Nguyen clan when he was the prince, and at this time he exposed the scars, knowing that he would not anger the dictator of the upper seat.
Therefore, while peeking at Zheng Gen's expression with the residual light of his eyes, he asked in a righteous and stern manner: "More than a year ago, the main mansion made an appointment with Ming Zheng to attack Ruan Shun, and this official remembered that he had trained soldiers for a period of time at that time. β
This question is at the root of the question, after calling Zheng Fan a nephew, according to the agreement, Lord Zheng did practice for a period of time, but it soon stopped, on the one hand, of course, it was a lack of financial resources, on the other hand, after many years of peace, the fear of war from top to bottom was making trouble, and in the final analysis, this matter could finally be pulled to Zheng Gen, who was at ease.
Zheng Tuo noticed the change in Zheng Gen's face, and smiled secretly in his stomach, but the tone of his response was still very gentle: "Lord Ding, it is appropriate for us to wait for the warriors to die on the battlefield, and we don't have any fear of difficulties, but it costs money to mobilize the army, do you know when the Beiyu will be killed?" β
That's right, Lord Zheng is now in a dilemma, if he mobilizes the army to resist, he doesn't know when Ming Zheng will come, in case he spends a lot of money, and the opponent is late, then he will go bankrupt financially without fighting, but if he doesn't mobilize the army for the time being, the Zheng army will come over all of a sudden, and it will also be over.
Ding Chao was speechless, and Li Yongnan, a soldier on the side, stepped forward: "The minister thinks that the Ming people are still confronting the Qing Dynasty, and the so-called Nanqing is just a big talk and intimidation, so there is nothing to worry about." β
"Master Li," Mo stood up again. "According to the envoy of Ming Zheng, peace is already being negotiated between Qing and Zheng." This news shocked everyone present again, yes, once the two sworn enemies in the north temporarily shook hands and made peace, it would not be a lie for the Ming Zheng army to go south. "Of course, this could also be a bluff on the part of the other party, but you can't be unguarded."
"Can the main mansion ask the red hairy to come forward to help in the war?" Li Enguang, the elder of the country, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. "One of the non-negotiable things in the north is to exclude the influence of the Netherlands on my Annam, presumably the Hongmaoyi will be very annoyed when he knows it, so the lord may be able to use the barbarians to maintain the current situation."
"It's not that Hongmaoyi hasn't fought with Beiyu, but it's not that he can't help the other party." Lifanfu Yang Daoxi stood up and denied it. "And Hongmaoyi's interests in Annan are far less profound than the interests of Daming trade, and Daming is not nervous about Hongmaoyi's continued trade in Annan, and his subordinates think that Hongmaoyi may not stand up for the lord's mansion."
Everyone was silent for a while, yes, you can't win a war, and you can't fight for interests but you can't fight for others, how can this be good.
At this time, Li Yongfu, who served as a counselor in the capacity of Zhengqing of Dali Temple, said: "Your Majesty thinks that Ming Zheng does not want to claim the territory of Annan, otherwise this article should not be discussed again." β
A sentence dispelled the haze of war in front of the people present, and the Taiyuan town guard and the prince of Shaoyang County, Zheng Rang, said: "What Lord Li said is very true, what King Xia wants is only to grasp the pricing power and tax exemption treatment, and the treatment of northerners who settle down, buy homes, and open shops in Annan without being exploited, as for the exchanges between the main mansion and Taixi Zhuyi?" Except for a little bit of Hongmaoyi, do we have anything else? β
"In this way, it seems that it is not important to set up envoys in Thang Long and the ports." Although the official positions of Liyang Hou and Yibin Zhang Taizhuo are not obvious among everyone, he is Zheng Gen's son-in-law, so his speech may represent Zheng Gen's meaning. "Zuo is just that King Xia was not worried about the ethics of the officials in Annan, so he was specially placed in order to protect the Ming people."
Zhang Taizhuo said, the people in the palace were obviously divided into two factions, but most people were basically inclined to accept B and C, but on the first one, everyone said in unison that they would never agree, so Zheng Gen on the throne ordered Mo to accompany him to continue to negotiate with the envoy. However, the matter did not come to an end, and the people below also had different opinions on whether to accept the Ming Zheng's Jian yì exile to Emperor Li, and then the Zheng lord officially ascended the throne.
In a sense, there are actually benefits to getting rid of Emperor Li, at least the political structure of redundant beds can be streamlined, the large expenses that were originally dedicated to Emperor Li can be saved, and the army guarding Emperor Li can be used elsewhere, not to mention that there will definitely be a reward for the new monarch when he ascends the throne. Therefore, the majority of those who are inclined to accept Ming Zheng Tiyì are in the majority, but although there are many advantages, there are also many disadvantages, the most important of which is the attitude of the Ruan lord in the south.
"The so-called upper, middle and lower three strategies to deal with Quang Nam are not advisable." This is natural, once Ming Zheng swallowed Guangnan, then Annam will be surrounded by the north and south lines of Ming and Zheng plus the sea route, and at this time, Annam may become a thorn in the flesh that hinders the connection of the two territories of Ming and Zheng. "It is not so easy to achieve the best policy of annexing Quang Nam from the main government, and the ministers think that they should ask the Ming Dynasty to canonize the Ruan clan together, and the two sides will be about brothers to eliminate the fire."
The person who spoke was just considering acknowledging the reality, but the hatred between Zheng Ruan was not so easy to alleviate, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies had just been afraid of Ming Zheng like a tiger, but at this moment he was full of confidence in Shang Ruan: "The ministers think it is impossible." β
Why not, because Ming Zheng gave a large amount of weapon support, and also promised to send a transport fleet to help transport the troops.
"The ministers thought that the Li clan was about to go, and the main government had obtained a large number of ordnance from the north, and it had the power to unify the whole country."
Those who advocate the unification of force believe that they must fight once no matter what, and then they can't win, and then let the Ming Dynasty come forward to mediate or even set up two emperors, in short, they can't even try once.
Opponents believe that they have tried many times before, and now that they are fighting again, it is just a waste of national strength in vain, and it is just a cheap deal for Ming Zheng, who has ill intentions towards Annan.
Both sides have a certain amount of truth, so Zheng Gen, who is difficult to decide, said: "Whether to go south and discuss again, if there is no other agreement, we will strive not to cede the land, but if the Ming Dynasty is allowed to open its mouth, the relationship with Hongmaoyi must continue secretly."
