CHAPTER XXII

The only thing lacking was that the Ming army could not give full play to its cavalry and artillery superiority, and could only fight with a single armament such as muskets and grenades.

Compared with the battle with the Liao army in previous years, it can be said that the combat power of the Ming army can only be exerted by six or seven percent.

Baili Wuji agreed to this plan last night out of a moment of drunken excitement and emotional exuberance for the children. At this time, after sobering up, Baili Wuji found that although this plan was feasible, he was likely to be a bystander.

This realization made Baili Wuji's heart full of regret and unwillingness.

In Baili Wuji's heart, in fact, what he desires most is to be a chivalrous ranger, not an emperor who dominates the world.

From the beginning, he was only angry at Shi Jingtang's betrayal of the country, and was later suppressed by Gao Congxue's father and son, so that his father was deprived of military power and "exiled" to Guizhou, and had to raise troops to seize Kui, Zhong, and Wansan Prefecture to Shu for self-protection.

However, after the establishment of Gyeongju, the sudden increase in the number of military personnel is not at all what Kui, Zhong, and Wansan can afford, and if a part of the army is disbanded, it will not only be difficult to resist the retaliation of Shu, but may even be annexed by Gao Congzhi, thus putting his family and the people who follow him in a difficult situation.

Therefore, in the case of necessity, he could only take a risk, and even attacked the Chu State that had been established for decades with the troops of Gyeongju, and with the protection of God, he succeeded in a battle.

Then under the crowd of heroes, like riding on the back of a tiger, he could only rush forward and could no longer relax. In this kind of world, if you want not to be eaten, you can only take the initiative to eat people.

And when he became the king of Yanchu. The emerging force of Baili Wuji has already had the momentum of being proud of the others, and the predatory gold and silver income brought by cross-sea commerce and trade has launched a "exchange rate war" against various forces in Baili Wuji. weakened others and fattened themselves, and since then laid the foundation for the world.

As a result, Baili Wuji officially established the country, established the Ming Kingdom, and the process of unifying the world began.

Therefore, along the way, Baili Wuji has gone from self-preservation at the beginning to a backwater battle later. And then to follow the trend, whether psychologically or physically, it is actually a kind of passive pandering.

If it is said to be the original intention of Baili Wuji. It's not so much providence.

If before the attack on Chu, Gao Congji could tolerate Baili Wuji's father and son, maybe Baili Wuji would have fallen under Gao Congji.

If after the capture of Chu, Meng Chang's Shu court can sincerely absorb Chu. Baili Wuji is likely to be the minister of the Pillar State of Shu.

If Guo Wei Li Zhou earlier. The Ming State was likely to rule with the Zhou Dynasty.

If Chai Rong lives longer, he will not be able to tear his face and meet Chai Rong's sword soldiers, so it is most likely that the two countries will be unified in a federal way, and it is very likely that the primary form of the republic will be established.

……。

But there can't be so many ifs in history, Baili Wuji finally completed the great cause of reunification, although the process of reunification is still somewhat lacking, because Dali is still outside the jurisdiction of the Ming Kingdom.

But no one doubts that as long as the Ming Kingdom fights with all its might. A small Dali country can withstand the iron hooves of the battle-hardened Ming army.

All the subjects of the Ming Kingdom knew in their hearts that the Dali Kingdom would be destroyed. It's just a matter of time, it depends on when the emperor is in a bad mood and will take Dali to the country.

Baili Wuji naturally knows that as long as the Dali Kingdom is destroyed, the Ming Kingdom will become the only overlord in East Asia, and it will really become a period of peace when the sword and armor are put into storage and the horses are released in Nanshan.

For Baili Wuji, who has been accustomed to fighting, there is undoubtedly the same sense of loss as Bailiyi.

Baili Wuji knows that he can't match Xu Shiming and others in governing people's livelihood, and he reluctantly intervenes, which not only makes him tired, but also drags down internal affairs, so it's better to let go.

Although Baili Wuji is an emperor, he can't start a new war for no reason, not to mention that there is no longer a force in East Asia that is worthy of the Ming Emperor's blow.

In the battle to destroy the Dali Kingdom, Baili Wuji was naturally unwilling to be absent.

But if it is not for the decisive battle with Liao, it is related to the life and death of the Ming Kingdom, as well as the meeting with Chai Rong Qianzhou, as the emperor has to be present in person, Baili Wuji will not be able to be on the battlefield.

The most powerful "obstacles" to be encountered today come from two directions.

One is the second queen and two concubines of the Hou Palace, and for these four people, Baili Wuji still has a way to deal with them. But in another place, Baili Wuji is not sure to deal with the past.

After all, you don't have any jokes.

The rules he made with Xu Shiming and others at the beginning, and then he broke his promise, no matter what, it can't be justified.

At the beginning, the rule was that there were five civil ministers and three military generals, and the emperor must be supported by more than half of the people to leave Beijing.

Although Xu Shouren was one of the civil servants who were circled at the beginning, and Bai Liyi was one of the generals, their support was only a quarter.

Now that Sun Guangxian has passed away, even if Sun Shixu is replaced, Baili Wuji can only be sure of three votes.

What's more, whether Sun Shixu can replace Sun Guangxian still needs a seven-person collegiate discussion.

In today's situation, no official dares to let Baili Wuji leave Beijing, let alone go to the imperial expedition.

In the minister's heart, the destruction of Dali Kingdom is more symbolic than the actual benefit of the Ming Kingdom, and there is no need for the emperor to levy it in person, and if he nods and agrees to the emperor's personal levy, then in case there is a mistake, this crime is likely to make his own head and even the whole family fall to the ground.

No one wants to take that risk.

Xu Shiming will not agree.

Feng Dao, the old slippery head, would not agree.

And the two governors didn't dare to agree.

Only Yun Yang can be convinced, but Ma Jiyun, who is stunned, is likely to be on the opposing side, because in the plan, he is not in the sequence of participating in the war.

Baili Wuji really regretted it, not regretting the formulation of the plan, but regretting why he didn't take this stubble into account yesterday.

So Baili Wuji immediately ordered the attendants to summon back Xu Shouren and the four of them, forcing them to come up with a solution to this dilemma.

Baili Wuji will achieve his goal, and order that if he can't think of a way, the plan will be canceled.

In Baili Wuji's original words, that is, this battle does not need to be participated in by a general like Baili Yi of the Ming State, as long as Ding Sijin leads his third army, it can be successful.

The meaning of Baili Wuji's words is very clear, that is, if you can't participate in this battle, the four of you don't want to go.

Baili Yi and the others looked at the scoundrel Baili Wuji "aggrievedly", and they were powerless to refute it at all.

In desperation, the five "stinkers" once again discussed how to make Baili Wuji able to drive in person. (To be continued......)
