Chapter 1097: Silunfa
The base of the golden palace of Luchuan palace is lotus-shaped, the top is the top of three layers of three treasures, not only the outer wall is golden, the palace is also decorated with gold powder, red powder, carved beams and painted columns, golden and brilliant, makes people look dizzy.
Throughout the year, the kings and ministers of Luchuan with gold teeth all sat barefoot and cross-legged on the ground. Of course, this season, the carpet will be covered with gold silk jacquard, otherwise sit directly on the cold floor tiles, and it will dilute after a long time.
Sitting facing the south is naturally Luchuan Wang Silunfa, who is in his forties this year, which is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and the age of ambition.
Sixteen years ago, after the death of the first Luchuan King Si Khanfa, he won the brutal battle for the throne, and it took another ten years to integrate the huge Luchuan country, and the Luchuan governance army was strong, and finally he could continue his father's unsuccessful career - to unify the inner and outer Yunnan and the entire Indochina Peninsula, and establish a real Dai empire!
And unlike his father, who had always focused on expanding southward and trying to avoid conflicts with the Central Plains regime. He believes that there is no strong enemy on the Indochina Peninsula now-
The former overlord of Bagan, who used to rule Myanmar, has fallen apart and completely surrendered to the feet of the Luchuan State. The Kingdom of Siam no longer exists. The kingdom of Annam also declined to the point of the destruction of the country by the Cham country. As for the other small countries, they are even more insignificant, and whoever is strong will submit to whomever they want.
In this case, we should not continue to entangle with the weak chickens of the Indochina Peninsula, but take advantage of the strength of the country to challenge the real strong enemy in the north. As long as they can defeat Dali and Kunming and become the masters of the entire Yunnan, those weak countries on the peninsula will naturally bow down obediently.
So he plans to spend five years taking Dali first, and then going to Kunming!
But just at the moment when everything was ready and only the east wind was missing, there was a loud bang in the sky, and the Ming Dynasty appeared brightly, destroying the King of Liang and the Duan clan in just a few months, and 'annexing' the entire Inner Yunnan ...... The speed was so fast that he didn't have time to intervene if he wanted to.
This feeling of being snatched away from your mouth is really terrible. It was also the first time in his life that he lost his temper and got angry!
Especially seeing that King Liang and the Duan clan were so vulnerable, he regretted it even more.
Si Lunfa didn't believe that the Ming army was too strong, and only thought that it was King Liang and Duan's too straw bag.
In the days that followed, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it, and the mantra on his lips all day long was, 'I'm so stupid, really.'" If I knew that Kunming and Dali were 'fast and slow', I wouldn't have wasted so much time to prepare! ’
He dreamed of getting what belonged to him...... Although he had never owned Inner Yunnan for even a second.
It was under the domination of this psychology that he sent troops to capture Yongchang City under the pretext of being the master of the local Dai Tusi, and 'captured Wang Zhen alive and razed the city'...... After that, he took the initiative to return Wang Zhen, and also handed over the seal letter of the Yuan Dynasty, asking for the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't want to submit to the Ming Dynasty, how could the great king of masturbation be subservient? This is just a test to see if the Ming Dynasty has the determination to start a war with him, and at the same time to shut up the mouths of those lords and factions in the country.
As a result, the Ming Dynasty really agreed. This made Si Lun overjoyed, thinking that the Ming Dynasty and the weak Yuan Dynasty were all the same, and as long as they went further, they would take a step back. In this way, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty will be squeezed out of Yunnan.
However, he soon found himself being tricked. It was not themselves who died, but the Ming Dynasty, who relied on their status as suzerains and began to canonize the Tusi who had previously submitted to him. Digging up his wall in broad daylight belongs to yes.
Si Lun saw that the scope of control had shrunk sharply, and he knew that his rule was not as strong as he imagined, and if he didn't fight back fiercely, the Luchuan Kingdom would have to fall apart.
So he sent the number one general, Dao Wulang, to lead 50,000 elites to attack Jingdong Mansion, which betrayed him, firstly, to kill chickens and monkeys, to deter the small group, and secondly, to prevent the Ming army from infiltrating beyond the Sanjiang River.
The result also made him very satisfied, and Dao Lang's army of 50,000 quickly swept through Jingdong Mansion, and the troops approached Yuanjiang Mansion. The traitor Otao was only spared and fled to the city of Kunming in embarrassment.
What made Si Lunfa even more ecstatic was that Dao Lang turned his head and defeated Feng Cheng, the commander of the Yunnan capital of the Ming Dynasty! That's the supreme military commander of Yunnan, the commander who pacified the rebellion of Yang Tho! This once again proves that his Luchuan army is invincible in the world, and the Ming army is not an opponent at all!
Realizing that their strength was beyond imagination, the Luchuan regime fell into ecstasy, and now their ideals are no longer limited to Yunnan, and some people have begun to fantasize about entering the Central Plains like the Mongols in the future.
Fortunately, Silunfa still kept a clear head. He knew that he had completely angered the Ming Dynasty this time, and the legendary Hongwu Emperor would definitely take revenge on Luchuan. Only by withstanding this wave can the Luchuan Kingdom be truly established, and then it can talk about the Northern Expedition......
And as Mu Ying expected, in order to deal with King Liang before, he had planted a lot of eyeliner in Kunming. Although the regime in Kunming changed, his ears and eyes were not affected much, and he could still help him keep an eye on the wind and grass in the provincial capital, and even find out the intelligence of the Ming army's top brass.
So he soon learned that Emperor Hongwu was really angry and had ordered to mobilize another 200,000 troops into Yunnan to completely destroy Luchuan.
He also knew that there were already more than 200,000 troops in Yunnan, but he took off his military uniform and went to farm. After the defeat of Jingdong, the king of Dian ordered all the guards to return to the building, gather on the bank of Dianchi Lake to train troops, and it will not take a few months to restore combat effectiveness.
At that time, as soon as the 200,000 Ming troops who entered Yunnan were in place, there would be more than 400,000 Ming troops in Yunnan. And the Luchuan country is the general mobilization, and there are only 300,000 troops, of which only 100,000 soldiers...... The disparity between us and the enemy is too great, and if we don't get it right, we will overturn, which is really worrying!
So during this time, his attention has been on Kunming, and he hasn't paid attention to the situation in Jingdong for a long time.
As a result, Dao Lang gave him a big job......
"What did you say?!" Si Lunfa stared at Dao Lang's messenger in shock, the other party was actually his cronies, and it was impossible to deceive him.
"Back to the king, the Ming army built a border city in the key place of the Nanjian River valley and cut off our back road. Marshal Zuo's army of 50,000 could not be attacked for a long time, suffered heavy losses, and now it has run out of food and grass, and its morale is low, so it can only ask the king for help. The messenger repeated.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Before Si Lunfa could speak, one of the three giants under him, the 'Toumeng', that is, the Prime Minister Dao Gan Meng, shook his head categorically and said:
"We have been staring at the Ming army, and they are still training in Kunming right now!"
"Indeed." Si Lun bowed his head and said: "Right now, the king of Dian, as well as the general and deputy general of Zhengnan have all left Yunnan, and the Ming army can't use troops on a large scale!" ”
"There are indeed not many Ming troops in Dingbian City...... the messenger hurriedly said: "Although Marshal Zuo insists that there are 20,000 enemy troops, the villain carefully observes that there are no more than 5,000 at most. ”
"What?!" Silunfa was taken aback again. "Only five thousand? The Dingbian City is tall and strong, and it is impossible to open it? ”
"On the contrary, the short walls of the city can be climbed with bare hands, and they are also very unstrong, and we have carved a dozen large openings, and they are completely in ruins." The Messenger himself said with a face full of incredulity:
"But we just couldn't break it, and we lost 10,000 or 20,000 people......"
ps. There is progress today, take a break and continue to write......
