Chapter 373: We Are the Victims
"What Daming? What toast?" Zheng Jie was dealing with government affairs, and said without raising his head when he heard the words.
"Da Ming! The toast of Wang Nong Mountain in Yunnan!"
Zheng Kai accentuated his tone.
"Daming's toast? What's wrong? Why did you come to us?" Hearing that it was the Ming Dynasty's toast, Zheng Ji put down the brush in his hand, raised his head and asked strangely.
"It was said that it was unbearable to the oppression of the imperial court, and it rebelled. But if you ask us at this time, I am afraid that the rebellion will most likely have failed. There is nowhere to run before I think of taking refuge in us."
"And you're talking to me? Let him fuck off." When Zheng Jie heard this, he immediately became angry. "They failed to rebel, and when they failed, they ran to us. Do you want us to be a refuge? Are we going to mess with it?"
"Big brother, don't worry. I thought about it for a while, and I thought it was still possible."
"Tell me, then, how is it possible?"
"Big brother, Yunnan is thousands of miles away from the capital, and those Tusi are extremely powerful and are not controlled by the imperial court at all, so there have been repeated rebellions. A few years ago, the rebellion of extravagant Chongming plunged the southwest of the Ming Dynasty into war for more than ten years, until it was pacified a few years ago. It's only been a few years, and there has been a rebellion in Tusi in Yunnan, what is the reason?
It is the decline of the Ming Dynasty, just imagine, if Emperor Yongle was in power, would these toasts dare to make the slightest change?
Now that they have risen up one after another, it is nothing more than that the control of the Ming Dynasty over the frontier is gradually decreasing, so that these growing toasts have different intentions. Such a Daming? We really can't afford to mess with us?"
"It is true that the power of the Ming Dynasty is weak, but it is said that the emperor who has just succeeded to the throne for a few years is a hero. According to the people who went to the capital of Daming last year to pay tribute, the current Ming soldiers are strong and strong, and their firearms are sharp, and they have taken Taiwan, destroyed Jiannu, and attracted the annexation of North Korea, and they have become strong again! Is it worth these rebels to anger them?"
"We didn't use troops against the Ming Dynasty, their rebellious toast escaped to our chassis, what does it have to do with us? Even if they raise teachers to ask for guilt, but these traitors enter our chassis, cause disaster to the township, and cause great casualties to the people, who will bear this responsibility? We're the victims!"
"You're saying that we can just let them flow into our country if we don't accept them blatantly?"
Like, it makes sense?
Zheng Kai's words made Zheng Jie's words a little moved.
"Exactly."
"How many of them can make you support them so much?"
"According to the letter sent by Sha Yuan, he and another Tusi named Pu Mingming gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 or 30,000 people. If it is used properly, it is also a great force. No matter how bad it is, if you drag them to the front line to fight the surname Ruan, how can you change it for three or two thousand?"
Zheng Ji fell silent.
He was indeed anxious to eliminate the Nguyen clan and unify Annam. That's why this year it took great effort to organize a fleet to attack Nguyen from the sea, but it still failed. This made him very anxious, although he knew that it was unwise to offend Daming, but he was still moved by Zheng Kai's words.
More than 10,000 soldiers, if used properly, may really be able to make a big difference.
As for Da Ming, he will definitely not take people to three or four thousand miles away to ask for guilt, let alone send troops to attack him. If you want to ask him why he is so sure, he must start with the change of the civil fort. After all, not every emperor has the courage of Zhu Di, and in one fell swoop, he turned Annan into a political envoy of Jiaozhi.
What's more, the gains outweigh the losses at all, the Ming Dynasty just wants to suppress the rebellion, and the rebels flee to other countries, isn't it also a way to quell the war? Emperor Chongzhen is so good, he can naturally carry it.
"Just do as you say. Tell them that we will not provide them with any substantial assistance until they enter Annan. Not to mention that he will not send a single soldier to the territory of Daming to respond! But if they do come to Thang Long, I will guarantee their safety."
Zheng Jie finally made up his mind.
Regardless of the real situation, anyway, after Zheng Kai's analysis, he also felt very reasonable
Reason. What doesn't make sense has become reasonable under his brain.
"Yes! Big brother, I'll write back to him."
Zheng Kai was also very excited to see that his eldest brother had adopted his suggestion.
After retiring, he found Sha Kui and recounted Zheng Jie's words as they were.
"You remember, when you go back, tell your lord, don't leak any news. Otherwise, our generalissimo will not be able to protect you."
Zheng Kai was a little uneasy, and told Sha Kui a few words again.
Sha Kui said yes again and again, rolled his eyes and said:
"General, I'm going back empty-handed, and I don't even have a letter. I'm afraid our lord won't believe me!"
"The generalissimo won't let me write a letter, so let's do it, you give me this wrench to Sha Yuan, and he will know when he sees it." As he spoke, Zheng Kai took off the wrench on his thumb and stuffed it into Sha Kui's hand.
After a while, he added.
"Don't lose me!"
Shakui rested for a day in Thang Long, enjoyed a good meal and drink, and then set out on the way back with dry food.
Zheng Kai was worried about his fingers, so he sent several soldiers to send him all the way to the border of the Ming Dynasty.
All this in Thang Long City, the two sides facing each other in Ami Prefecture naturally did not know.
Early this morning, Mu Tianbo was wielding his meteor hammer in a clearing next to the camp. After besieging Amizhou for so long, it has launched many attacks, but the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is suitable for setting all kinds of traps. Not only did it not take it, but it lost a lot of manpower. In the end, seeing that there was no good way, Qin Liangyu decided to use a stupid method to besiege him after discussing with him.
The advantage of the siege was that there were few casualties, but the disadvantages were no less obvious. That is, it takes a long time and consumes a lot of materials.
The consumption of materials, this Mu Tianbo doesn't care. With him, food and clothing from all over Yunnan will be delivered here in a steady stream. But after a long time, the soldiers naturally felt homesick. But compared with the soldiers under his command, Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers once again showed a super high level of military quality, not only did no one complain, but there was no slack in even the slightest normal training.
Seeing that the white pole soldiers who had been away from home for a longer time than themselves were like this, all the soldiers under Mu Tianbo were honest. Waiting for the final battle.
Mu Tianbo finished practicing the meteor hammer and found Qin Liangyu.
"Chief Qin, I'm going to Laba in a few days, do you want to improve the food for the soldiers?"
"Send some people into the mountains to hunt these days, and see if we can catch some wild boars." Qin Liangyu thought for a while and said.
"Good! But this is past Laba, and the New Year is just a few days away. The soldiers are homesick, how about another attack in a few days?"
