Chapter 116: It's just a little bit of wind and frost

A cannon like a fire dragon, a powerful fire gun?

Is it a burst of firearms?

Zhu Di has always been interested in firearms, and has formed an army of pure firearms-the Shenji Battalion. He used the tactic of "the gods are in the front, and the horses are behind" in the crusade against the Warats, turning the people of the Warats on their backs.

The fire gun is very suitable for fighting the cavalry, but what makes Zhu Di distressed is that although the fire gun is good, it takes too long to reload, and it takes a long time to change the ammunition after one round, and the cavalry with this kung fu is killed in the face. The second is that the power is too small, the equipment of the Shenji Battalion is mainly pear flower guns or Tianzi fire guns, and the ammunition is iron pellets or black powder.

And the equipment of the Southwest Army made Zhu Di quite puzzled.

What is this, this is called a firebolt?

We've never seen a burst of firecrackers!

Where did the Southwest Army get this strange thing?

Wait a minute......

Zhu Di suddenly realized something, he seemed to know where the Southwest Army had come up with this firearm - Nanzhen Fusi!

In addition to supervising its own people, Nanzhen Fusi also has the power to manufacture ordnance, and the military craftsman of Nanzhen Fusi has the top military craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty!

No wonder the fourth child wants to find him and ask for Nanzhen Fusi, and the co-authorship is to keep the back hand for his children and grandchildren!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Di felt a little sore. Jiajing lost so badly, in addition to his own reasons, part of it was ...... Zhu Di, the pit dug by the ancestors!

Zhu Di can conclude that when Zhu Gaoxian, this kid, goes to the southwest, he will definitely take away the top military craftsmen in Nanzhen Fusi, leaving a blessing for his children and grandchildren!

[After the news of the defeat of the imperial army in the southwest reached the Beijing Division, the court was shaken, and the people in the city were panicked. 】

[You have been pushed to the cusp, and the courtiers are saying that it is you who blindly go your own way, regardless of everyone's opposition, and you have to crusade against the Ming Dynasty hero Qi Wangfu, which will cause drastic changes. 】

[You are powerless to refute, gather the courtiers, and discuss in the Fengtian Hall how to solve the troubles caused by the defeat. 】

[Now that the Qi Wangfu in the southwest has gathered troops, the main forces of the imperial court have all been left in Annan, and if they fight again, the possibility of victory is very small. What's more, the morale of the imperial court is weak, even if another army is formed, how can it defeat the high-morale Southwest Army? 】

[The courtiers suggested peace, they thought that the emperor's surname was Zhu, and the king of Qi was also surnamed Zhu, both of whom were descendants of Taizu, so why bother fighting and killing? But they seem to have forgotten that King Qi never took the initiative to make a move, and it was the court that forced King Qi to fight. 】

[You know, now it seems that there is no other way but to sue for peace. 】

Sue for peace?

You can fight if you want, and you can fight if you want?

Zhu Di felt a little ridiculous, when he led Yan Shi to kill in front of Jinling City, Emperor Jianwen also sent people to ask him for peace.

But the result?

The change of Jinchuan Gate, Li Jinglong opened the city gate, Zhu Di led the army into the Beijing Division, and succeeded to the throne in Fengtian Temple!

The premise of peace talks is that both sides have equal status, or you can give enough benefits to satisfy the other party's appetite!

The Song Dynasty fought against the Liao State, and every time it lost a battle, the imperial court had to humiliate and sue for peace with the Liao State, and compensate a large amount of gold and silver treasures, grain, cloth, land, etc. When the 300,000 troops of the Liao State went south, although the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Song Dynasty resisted desperately, the court was relieved, thinking about what to fight.

….

As a result, there was an unprecedented scene - the victorious country paid reparations to the defeated country!

The generals of the Northern Song Dynasty fought desperately to defeat the Liao army, but Song Zhenzong did not dare to fight to the death with the Liao, even if he had an advantage, he still surrendered to the Liao, so the two sides signed the humiliating "Lanyuan Alliance", and compensated the Liao with a huge amount of gold and silver.

Other countries are stupid, it is good to win and lose, and there is such a good thing? So the Western Xia also wanted to get a piece of the pie, and the Western Xia chieftain Li Jiqian formed a horn with the Liao, and defeated the Song Dynasty one after another. The Northern Song Dynasty cut land all the way to seek peace, and the Western Xia people were full of food and drink, so they reluctantly withdrew their troops.

Under the vicious circle of peace, the Northern Song Dynasty was in danger, and finally under the impact of the Jin State, the "Jingkang Shame" broke out, if it wasn't for Zhao Gou's quick escape, it is estimated that the Southern Song Dynasty would not have had a chance to establish.

Drawing on the experience of the former Song Dynasty, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, the concept is very firm - the battle can be lost, the country can die, but it is special that it cannot seek peace!

Zhu Di saw that Jiajing now had the idea of seeking peace, and everyone was numb.

[At the end of Jiajing's tenth year, you waited for a long time, and finally waited for King Qi's reply. 】

[The contemporary King of Qi, Zhu Houxuan, said in the letter: "The ancestors have a training, and my King Qi will not interfere in the government affairs, nor will I usurp the country and seize power. Over the past hundred years, my King Qi has responded to the needs of the imperial court, and when the world is in turmoil, he will send troops to quell the rebellion, and if the world is peaceful, he will defend the border. Over the years, my children and grandchildren have never disobeyed our ancestors' teachings.

The ancestors once said that the world is vast, the enemy is not only Mobei, and we are determined to be in the West.

In accordance with the words of our ancestor King Qiwu, we have continued to expand our territory to the West for the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and we have never had the idea of usurping the country. I don't know, who was deceived by Your Majesty to use troops against me in the southwest?

After this battle, our southwest suffered heavy losses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue to hold the border for Your Majesty, if Your Majesty can help the southwest every year with some steel, brass, cloth, leather, and wood...... I will thank Your Majesty Long En!" 】

[You understand the voice of King Qi, the attention of King Qi's mansion has never been in the Central Plains, but in the West, but you don't understand very well, what is good about the West, which can make the kings of Qi in the past dynasties so persistent. 】

[At present, King Qi doesn't seem to have the idea of killing Jingshi to usurp the country, just because of the "heavy losses" in asking for compensation, the losses are heavy, and the Southwest Army won a big victory in this battle, can there be a chicken feather with heavy losses? 】

[I know that King Qi is blackmailing, but you have to give it. Although King Qi said "some compensation" in the letter, you have a clear heart, if you don't feed King Qi, the Southwest Army will dare to send troops to Beijing tomorrow! 】

[Helpless, you can only promise King Qi that the imperial court will send a large amount of ore materials to the southwest every year in the name of "military quartermasters", which is a huge amount of money, and the iron ore sent to the southwest every year alone has eight million catties every year! The annual output of iron ore in the Ming Dynasty was only 20 million catties! 】

[After agreeing to all the requirements of King Qi's mansion, a reply from King Qi's mansion also came, King Qi said that the reason why the southwest would fight with the Ming Dynasty was purely a misunderstanding, and there must be a female cadre to make trouble, just find out the female cadre and send it to the southwest, and the matter can be stopped. 】

[You were overjoyed in your heart, and pushed out Zhang Xi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and told everyone that the conquest of the southwest was all Zhang Xi's idea, and this fang confused the chaos of the dynasty for a long time. In the end, you put more than 80 charges on Zhang Xi, and the first assistant of the cabinet suddenly became a heinous sinner and was sent to the southwest to be questioned by King Qi. 】

….

[King Qi beheaded Zhang Xi and sent back Xu Yande, the Duke of Dingguo, and a number of captured generals of the imperial court, but left behind hundreds of thousands of imperial troops who were absorbed by the Qi Palace. 】

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

I don't have the time to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Now you have nothing to do, if you want to beat me, I haven't beaten yet, I listen to the words of my ancestors, don't care about your arrears, you will send me compensation every year in the future, and I will treat this matter as over.

Jiajing: It's just a little bit of frost, woo......

What puzzled Zhu Di and Jiajing was that what was the charm of the West that could make the kings of Qi in the past dynasties so persistent that they didn't even care about the throne.

"I have to ask this kid the fourth child to see what treasures in the West can make him so interested." Zhu Di muttered, "Zheng He has been to the West so many times, and I don't remember what Zheng He said to me......

Yao Guangxiao pricked up his ears and eavesdropped on the side, he was not a good person, he just felt that Zhu Di was a little strange recently, and he always talked to himself.

"Western? King Qi?"

Yao Guangxiao pondered these words in his heart, and he was a little unclear.

[Promised to come to King Qi to compensate every year, this matter has finally been turned over. 】

[You are depressed in your heart, since you ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, this is the first time you have fallen so much, and you have found yourself a Qi Wangfu as a father to offer, but you have no choice, you have not beaten this father, you can only admit it. 】

[After not having an enterprising spirit, you put all your spirit on the path. Superstitious monks, respecting Taoism, and the art of immortality, you suddenly find that cultivating Taoism is much more fun than being an emperor. 】

[You have become obsessed with cultivation to the point where you have no ability to discriminate, and those who come to the pills and talismans will not refuse, and you will practice every day. 】

[For the sake of cultivation, you have no time to go to the court, although you have not been in court for many years, but your use of power and scheming has become more and more perfect, playing the courtiers in the palm of your hand, and everyone is your pawn. 】

[This is a very incredible thing, how can an emperor who has never been to court hold power tightly in his own hands? 】

[However, you did it, you controlled all the people, crazy wealth, the huge amount of wealth you spend on cultivation every year can be compared to the huge amount of money sent to the southwest every year to compensate King Qi! ] 】
