Chapter Eighty-Eight: Everyone Is Drunk (The Third Update, Ask for Subscription!)
Forbidden city.
Qianqing Palace.
"Prepare an army of 150,000, and the Western Regions, Yi Jurchen, and prepare another 200,000 naval army to destroy Dongying. I've given you three years, how are you doing now?"
Gu Cheng looked at Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, and asked.
"Your Majesty, the three armies are on standby!"
Yu Qian replied: "It's just that Dongying sent a messenger here, did Your Majesty see it?"
Gu Chengdao: "What's the benefit of seeing?"
Yu Qian admonished: "Soldiers are not dramas, war is more than national strength, money and food characters, and hundreds of millions of dollars are consumed, so Sun Ziyun: The upper country is fighting and the second is handed over, and the army is slightly defeated, and the lower is down." Dongying Fusang, slim in the East China Sea, don't think it's troublesome, Your Majesty pity Li Shu's hardships, the misery of life, why do you move this soldier?"
Yu Qian's meaning is very clear, and the Western Regions, the destruction of the Jurchens, is to further unify the world, although these two places are chicken ribs, not rich, but at least much better than the Dongyingna Island.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the trouble of the Japanese had been shown, and Zhu Yuanzhang had the intention of attacking Dongying at that time, but he was not a Han Wu who was happy after all, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still gave up.
First of all, Dongying has poor products and constant earthquakes, and there is no profit to take advantage of it.
Second, although the national strength of the two countries is very different, they are fighting across the sea, and the outcome is unpredictable.
At the height of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan attacked Dongying twice.
It stands to reason that the Mongolian Iron Cavalry marched all the way west, spanning half the world, invincible and invincible, and it was simply not worth mentioning.
It didn't turn out to be that way.
Head-to-head, even if the Mongols dismount, they are far from being matched by the Dongying soldiers, but the Dongying people are a people who understand the sea, rely on the sea, and strive to control the sea.
In the face of the Mongol invasion, they spent more than five years in the coastal zone building a defensive stone wall, with which they could either attack and defend with ease, either leaving the enemy on the beach and unable to get close to the land, or dividing the enemy so that they could attack more and less.
Once the enemy retreated to the sea, there were often typhoons and storms, and the first Mongol defeat was because of a sudden storm, which made the myth of Mongol invincibility completely shattered in the naval battle.
The second defeat was due to internal instability, Goryeo dragging its feet and another typhoon, under the power of heaven, how could manpower be able to withstand it?
When Kublai Khan realized that the time and place were favorable, and that they were not in the Yuan Dynasty, he was not as demonic as Yang Guangsan's expedition to Goryeo, so he regained his senses and chose to give up.
Those two fiascos are only two hundred years ago, and the Ming Dynasty wants to attack Dongying, but it is still facing a similar problem - the right time and place!
Under common sense, Yu Qian is a capable minister in the world, so he is naturally reasonable, but unfortunately he can't understand the general trend of the world after all: "Do you think that the envoy of Dongying came to Beijing to seek peace?"
Yu Qian was stunned: "What does Your Majesty mean?"
Gu Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "Xuan!"
......
......
"Long live my emperor!"
Dongying envoys, enter the main hall, pay homage.
Gu Cheng didn't let them get up, and said coldly: "I will raise the army of justice, conquer the stubborn state, and set an example, do you know?"
The envoy of Dongying trembled when he heard this, and subconsciously showed a look of horror, but the first one talked eloquently: "The universe is vast, not the sole power of one lord, the universe is wide and flooded, and the states are divided and guarded, the ministers live far and weak, the country is small, the city is less than sixty, the territory is less than three thousand, and there is still a heart of contentment, Your Majesty is the lord of China, the king of ten thousand times, the city is more than thousand, and the territory is one million miles, how can there be a lack of heart, and the meaning of extinction?"
"Presumptuous!"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Qian had already changed color, and some people even pounced and reprimanded.
If Dongying is divided, although this is not good to hear, there is still some truth, but three years ago, Dongying also took advantage of the change of Tumubao to lead troops to invade Shanhaiguan, wanting to swallow elephants with snakes, this is called still contentment?
Gu Cheng waved his hand: "Let him continue!"
The envoy was not afraid: "The Ming Dynasty has a strategy for war, and the small state also has a plan to defend against the enemy, the land of water, the continent of mountains and seas, has its own preparations, how can you kneel down and serve it?
After the words were finished, the ministers were already furious.
Where is this to seek peace, it is simply a declaration of war.
Do you really think that when you retreated from the Mongol Tartars, you didn't put the Celestial Empire in your eyes, invaded the mountains and seas first, and then served the war book?
Now the Ming Dynasty is an orthodox prosperous era, which is tolerable or unbearable!
"Thieves are deceitful!"
After Yu Qian was angry, he became vigilant.
There is no doubt that it is Dongying who is seeking war now, and it seems that he can't wait for the Ming army to march eastward.
This was originally impossible, a small country, no matter how arrogant it was, would not dare to do so, but from the previous invasion of Shanhaiguan to the current provocation of the Son of Heaven, there seems to be a giant hand behind it stirring up the storm.
Now it's finally going to be exhausted.
Sure enough, such insults, it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to endure such insults, and the Son of Heaven said coldly: "You are waiting for the country, invading our mountains and seas, and harming our people, and you dare to make a big deal of nonsense and bring about your own destruction!
The wolf-like guards pounced, pulled down the Dongying envoys one after another, and dragged them out of the Forbidden City.
After being thrown out of the palace gate like a dog, the Dongying envoys breathed a sigh of relief, including the one who was just talking, and they all collapsed to the ground at once, unable to move in fright.
"It's so like!"
There was only one person, his figure flashed, swept to the side of the street, took off the mask of disguise, and quickly changed his appearance, which was desperate.
He recalled what he had just seen and heard in the Forbidden City, especially the Son of Heaven, with a majestic bearing, life and death, and every word he spit out had a shocking magic, as if what he said was the truth of heaven and earth, and there was no doubt.
Holding the prince in his hand, with Tianxian in his mouth, he moved back to the mountains and seas, and his breath turned into frost and dew!
Supreme power!
The point is that this person is fake, and the real Son of Heaven is still in trouble.
The thought of someone being able to unknowingly plot to usurp the throne greatly encouraged him.
"One day, I'm going to sit in that position too!"
Juexin soon came to a mansion and became a rich man.
He planted down, collected intelligence on the Central Plains, and continuously converged towards the East China Sea.
For example, the rain in various places, the high tide and sea breeze along the coast.
The dragon vein of the Central Plains has been broken, at this moment, if the Ming Dynasty crusades eastward, it will inevitably encounter a storm tornado at sea, and the end will be extremely miserable!
However, in comparison, I would like to see the disaster of tomorrow, and the people will not be able to make a living, so I will stay in the capital, summarize the news from all parties, and look forward to it silently.
Bang!
As he was checking the information, he heard thunder and dark clouds on the sky.
"Okay! Could it be that the natural disaster is about to start?
I was overjoyed, and when I came to the courtyard, the rain that fell fell on my face was cool and cool.
He beckoned, and naturally someone held up an umbrella, went out of the house, and walked in Yingtianfu.
When the thunder and rain went home, there were fewer and fewer people on the street, but he wandered out with a group of people, and the pedestrians looked sideways, as if they were looking at fools.
He didn't pay attention to it, and everyone was drunk and he woke up alone.
Suddenly, there was a frolicking sound in front of me, and I saw several children braving the rain, chasing and frolicking.
"Why haven't I been so happy?"
Desperately watching, remembering his childhood, under the abuse of no gods, there was no trace of light and darkness, the corners of his mouth raised a cold smile, and he commanded: "Go, give these children candy, let them pray, the rain will get heavier and heavier, and never stop!"
Once the dragon vein is lost, without the protection of the dragon qi, these prayers can really come true.
Wouldn't it be the best thing to start with these children, pray for themselves, and eventually be displaced and die in the war?
"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, sister!"
A maid in a green dress stepped forward to hand out candy, and how could the children have thought of such a desperate evil intention, so they diligently took the sweets and cakes, and began to pray in a milky voice: "It's raining heavily! It's raining heavily! Don't stop!
A few months after that.
Desperately waiting for the news of the torrential rain in the distance, the flash floods, which broke the river embankment and destroyed the fertile fields.
Before opening each letter, there is a look of anticipation.
After dismantling it, his face was gloomy and even angry.
And every time it rained, he would go out for a walk, and hundreds of children would gather around his maids, begging for sweets, and when they got it, they would pray for rain, and finally they would shout for joy: "Come again when it rains!
There are records in miscellaneous history: some people in Beijing like rain, linger and don't leave, everyone calls them stupid, only children like it.
