Chapter 721: Multinational Alliance
Jiang Zhanwei also knew that this battle was not easy to fight, but because he was a candidate nominated by the emperor for the marshal, it was difficult to object.
Lu Man and Ding Yuying listened to Jiang Zhanwei and Song Ming go home and talk about the emperor's stubbornness and the dispute in the court. Of course, Lu Man was unwilling to let Jiang Zhanwei fight that battle, it was too difficult, not to mention very dangerous, and he was not sure of winning.
The two of them thought of some historical events in their previous lives, and that wars between countries were not only fought by force, but also by force. Of course, trade wars are not needed in this day and age. They discussed it for a long time behind closed doors and summarized a few suggestions.
Yu Sun Guo is ambitious, and even the powerful and wealthy Da Chu dares to make up his mind, and he will definitely bully the surrounding countries in normal times. Then, give those countries benefits, such as food, technology, weapons, etc., and let those countries unite to attack Yusun. Those countries have not only benefited, but also can defeat or even encroach on Yu Sunguo, who often bullies them, and can also scrape the benefits, they are definitely willing.
As far as Great Chu is concerned, the effect will be better than that of a thousand-mile expedition to attack Yu Sun, and the financial and material resources used will definitely be less than the supply of 500,000 expeditionary troops.
If you are afraid that those countries will not be able to fight if they join forces, or if you can't vent the emperor's anger, then Da Chu can also send some troops, not more, 100,000 or 80,000 iron horsemen. Let those countries that are familiar with the terrain lead the way for the Great Chu army, and then provide a military base, first recuperate there for a period of time, and when they are energetic, the coalition forces of several countries will attack Yusun Kingdom together to share the benefits......
They don't understand military affairs, they don't know how to fight, they only tell some of the events of their past lives in reasonable terms of this era, and the specific matters are left to the men to worry about and implement.
On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, Ding Yuying did not go home in the morning, but asked people to go to the yamen to inform Song Ming and come directly to Donghui Courtyard to pick her up in the evening. Lu Man also asked people to inform Jiang Zhanwei and let him go home on time.
In the evening, Lu Man said that he had something to do, so he asked Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu, who had been on a long vacation, to take the little brothers to Heming Hall for dinner. Lu Man and Ding Yuying set up a table in the west side room, and when Jiang Zhanwei and Song Ming came back, the four of them closed the door and discussed while eating.
This meal was eaten until the end of the day. During the banquet, Jiang Zhanwei and Song Ming completely abandoned their previous estrangement and listened to the "immortal strategy" of the two little daughters-in-law. They were greatly inspired by it, drinking wine in big bowls, eating meat, talking freely, and the more they looked at their little daughter-in-law, the more they drummed up. In the end, they settled on the strategy of "multi-military alliance".
After that, Jiang Zhanwei and Song Ming went to the study in the front yard to discuss. Song Ming asked Ding Yuying to rest here, and a few of them wanted to talk at night. Jiang Zhanwei sent people to invite Xie Guogong and Xie Yu again, and then invited Jiang Hou Ye and the third master.
The father and son of the Xie family use soldiers like gods, Marquis Jiang is an important minister, and the third master is in charge of horses, and their opinions and opinions are also very important.
Ding Yuying was extremely happy, and she had never lived in Donghui Courtyard since she got married. She also wanted to sleep in the same bed with Lu Man, Lu Man thought that Jiang Zhanwei would definitely not go back to the inner courtyard at night, so she agreed. I was afraid that Jiang Zhanwei would really come back in the second half of the night, and instructed the cherry on duty at night, the third master knocked on the door and did not open it, so that he could stay in the study.
And they lay in bed and whispered until the end of the day, as they had done in their previous lives, before falling asleep.
Lu Man fell asleep in a daze and heard someone knocking on the door. It's really Jiang Zhanwei back.
After Cherry opened the door and said a few words, she heard footsteps and went to the front yard again.
Ding Yuying also woke up and laughed. said, "Your third master is really a big man, and he is so clingy." It's the middle of the night, what are you doing when you come back? ”
Lu Man snorted and said, "The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, your brother Ming is more clingy." ”
On the 27th, there was no early dynasty, Song Ming and Jiang Zhanwei went to the Qianyi Palace and presented the excerpt of the "multinational coalition" strategy. The two not only talked about the benefits of this strategy, but also talked about how to implement it.
The emperor was overjoyed and summoned several important ministers to discuss. After that, the emperor went to report to the emperor, and the emperor also very much agreed with this strategy.
That night, the emperor left Jiang Zhanwei, Song Ming and several important ministers in the palace to discuss until midnight.
Of course, the "multi-armed coalition" is still a top state secret, and only the emperor, the emperor, and a few henchmen and important ministers know about it. And what was discussed in front of the ministers was how to support the countries around Yu Guosun to attack Yu Sun. The ministers all had their own opinions and offered suggestions.
Lu Man and Ding Yuying don't need to worry about those national events anymore, they are busy with the New Year. Because she was too busy, Ding Yuying didn't come to Donghui Courtyard every day. Because of the wisdom of her daughter-in-law, the old princess made her son show a big face, and she was happy, so she didn't continue to chatter.
The old lady stopped chattering, and Ding Yuying's life was even more comfortable.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Zhanwei still entered the palace and did not come back to eat the reunion dinner in the evening. Although the eldest princess was a little regretful, she was also happy in her heart, her grandson's position was not the highest, but it was the most trusted and reused by the emperor.
After Heming had a New Year's dinner, it was already the end of the evening. Lu Man took his three children, as well as Jiang Zhankui and Jiang Jiu, back to Donghui Courtyard.
The lights in Donghui Courtyard are like daylight, and the restaurant has already set up a table.
Lu Man wanted to wait until Jiang Zhanwei came back to continue eating, so he led the children to the upper room.
She was teasing with the white little Xue'er, and the children were in and out, setting off fireworks in the yard.
By the end of the day, Jiang Zhanwei hadn't come back, so Lu Man had to lead the children to the restaurant for a symbolic few bites of food. Jiang Zhankui went to the front yard to keep a New Year's watch, and Jiang Jiu and several children went back to the house to rest.
Only Lu Man was left in the upper room. She sat on the bed, listening to the occasional sound of firecrackers outside the window, and remembered her mother in her previous life.
I don't know when, Lu Man, it seems that he has returned to his previous life, and he saw his mother and Fang's father eating a reunion dinner, remembering their two daughters, and talking about interesting things about their childhood. Those long-ago warm pictures not only made my mother choke, but Lu Man also shed tears......
Suddenly, she felt a warm hand gently rubbing her face, and she also heard Jiang Zhanwei's voice, "Manman, wake up, why are you crying, what are you dreaming about?" ”
Lu Man opened his eyes, and it was Jiang Zhanwei sitting at the head of the bed. He was washed, dressed in pajamas, and had his hair loose. Looking at her, his eyes were full of warmth and concern.
Lu Man buried his head in his lap and said in a porcelain voice, "I dreamed that I had a past life, and in that life, I didn't have a father and died very young. My mother is so pitiful, she cries every year when she thinks about it......"
Jiang Zhanwei thought she had some nightmare, but it turned out to be this dream. He gently ran her hair through and smiled, "You also said you were dreaming. It was a dream, not real, and I cried like this. ”
