Facing this not-very-powerful regime and facing this force that occupies an absolute geographical advantage, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who had basically pacified a large area in the north, first chose to surrender politically.

In order to achieve this goal, he specially invited a person named Yang Jing.

He sent Yang Jing to Sichuan and strategically recruited Ming Sheng to surrender.

In order to show his sincerity, Zhu Yuanzhang wrote a letter himself, hoping that Ming Sheng could surrender voluntarily.

Yang Jing went and explained what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

It's time for Mingsheng to make a choice.

Mingsheng's approach is also very straightforward.

He disagrees.

First of all, Ming Sheng disagreed with the surrender from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had been emperor for a long time behind closed doors. He lived a small life every day, drank wine, held his wife in his arms, smoked, smoked, drank tea, and picked up girls. , why should I convert to your Buddhism with just one word from you, Monk Zhu?

He absolutely disagrees with surrender.

But Ming Sheng also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang and his troops would definitely not be able to fight head-on. Even Wang Baobao could beat him to the point of pissing, let alone a ragtag group like us.

Beat, cannot beat;

Descending, I don’t want to descend.

Both ends are not going well, so what should we do?

Mingsheng, who was stuck at both ends, finally thought of a solution.

A very creative approach.

Be your vassal state in the Ming Dynasty.

I recognize your throne as Zhu Yuanzhang, and I also recognize your absolute status and power as Boss Zhu Yuanzhang, and I recognize your Monk Zhu’s status as the boss in the Central Plains.

And I, Mingsheng, will be one of your vassals. The two of us have established good diplomatic relations, but are independent of each other and do not interfere in each other's internal affairs. As the younger brother, I will pay tribute to you every year.

You, Monk Zhu, want cigarettes for cigarettes, tea for tribute tea, and cattle for cattle.

But there is one thing, you will be your emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I will be my king of Daxia.

We have established good diplomatic relations but will never interfere in each other's internal affairs.

Mingsheng wrote his thoughts into a letter and gave it to his subordinates, and sent an envoy to accompany Yang Jing to respond to Tianfu's order.

Yang Jing is back after a round of sightseeing.

Returned to Yingtian.

Not only did this useless thing not get the job done, it also brought someone back with it.

Brought back an envoy sent by Ming Sheng.

And he brought back a letter signed by Ming Sheng.

The content of the letter is not complicated and is generally consistent with Ming Sheng’s thoughts.

In order to show the majesty of his country, Zhu Yuanzhang met with the envoy sent by Ming Sheng.

After meeting Zhu Yuanzhang, the envoy only did one thing, which was useless in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion.

boast.

Bragging from beginning to end.

He first quoted Li Bai's evaluation of Sichuan in "The Road to Shu is Difficult".

You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai.

There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Mount Emei.

The basic content has the same meaning: I know that you, Monk Zhu, have a thick head, a thick neck, and a big bone, and are famous for being tough, but it is absolutely impossible for you to want me to surrender to you.

Our Daxia Kingdom is not to be frightened. We occupy the double insurance of the Three Gorges natural barrier and the Jiange Plank Road. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You, Monk Zhu, want to swallow us but you still lack a good set of teeth.

When you make suggestions about becoming a vassal state, your boss should refer to them more for reference.

You continue to be your emperor, and I sit on my throne.

I won't treat you badly every year, and I will give you benefits every year.

My opinion is not harmful to anyone, you should consider it carefully.

It's no harm to you or me.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with Sheng's idea.

The two parties do not negotiate with each other, hello to me, hello to everyone.

It should be considered a good solution.

But as the emperor and the boss, Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy.

He would never allow another dynasty with a different surname to exist within the Ming Dynasty.

Especially since this guy still refuses to listen to his orders and discipline.

It is impossible for my own men to be king even if they are alive, let alone a person with a foreign surname who is nothing like you.

Since I gave you face and you are shameless, I can only feel sorry for you.

Don’t you have the natural danger of the Three Gorges, don’t you have the Jiange Plank Road?

Good, very good.

I won't hit anything today.

I will focus on your natural dangers and your plank roads.

I'll see how you, a loser, can resist.

It was under this situation that the two sides could not reach an agreement or find a smooth solution, so Tang He and Fu Youde led their troops to set off.

The mission of the two of them is to attack these two key roads that Ming Sheng thinks are absolutely impossible to conquer.

Wherever you are strong, I will hit you.

If you hit other places, I'm bullying you.

In order to show my respect for your Mingsheng, I asked my troops to divide into two groups and lead 25,000 soldiers and horses to attack your Sichuan.

Let's see how long you, a bastard who can't come out of your bastard's shell, can last.

Come on, Mingsheng.
Chapter completed!
