Chapter 312 On the verge of breaking out (2)
No, will the Annan people come?”
Five thousand Ming troops walked in Annan. The officials and people they met where they passed were buried in the ground, fearing and dared not look up. The officials and powerful men presented money and food to seek peace.
They really couldn't figure it out. We were living a good life, but why did the Ming army suddenly enter the territory of Annan?
And there are five thousand people!
The flags are waving, and the armor is so clear that it is hard to look at it.
Before the war began, Annan's land had begun to tremble under the iron hooves of the Ming army.
But in Annan's eyes, Huang Zhong, the general of the Ming army who looked like a god, was extremely anxious.
On this day, before entering the ground of Wenqiu in Annan, the army camped on the spot.
Huang Zhong shook his smelly boots in the tent, then snatched the mud in the gap in his toes and cursed at Zhang Fu.
"Does Annan people come? How long will it take for me to go?"
Faced with such a powerful general in the army, Zhang Fu is still very experienced.
In the original time and space, Zhu Neng died of illness before going to Annan, the young Zhang Fu became the commander of Annan. But in that time and space, although Zhang Fu was young, he was already a Ming general who had made great achievements in fighting with Zhu Di.
But now, he is still a little unknown.
"Huang Zhentai is a little restless!" Zhang Fu smiled, "I think Annan people must come!" As he said that, he paused, "The news conveyed by the Jinyiwei was that someone from Annan would persuade Annan to intercept Chen Wangsun..."
"Can the Jinyiwei believe the words?" Huang Zhong squinted his eyes and said, "If you want me to say it, why don't you be so troublesome!" He said, sighing, "Who do we want to hit the Ming Dynasty? Just kill us. If we don't have any grass, we can live together without leaving any animals! What else do we have to intercept my Ming army? Isn't this... take off our pants and fart?"
Zhang Fu heard too much about these remarks, and the fierce generals of the Ming Dynasty were all stubborn. That is, if the emperor asked them to fight, they would go to that place to kill everyone, and they would go straight to it.
So they couldn't understand these diplomatic confrontations before the Battle of Annan, and they were unwilling to bother to watch them.
In fact, Zhang Fu may not be able to understand it, but before coming, he received the emperor's secret order and knew more about the inside story than the generals in these places.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty could not let the Annan people regard the Emperor as the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to swallow this place, but to make the Annan people believe that the people in power in Annan were so rebellious and provocative. The Heavenly Dynasty could no longer bear it and used its troops.
Secondly, this time, the people of Annan must believe that the Ming army was a righteous army, rather than a robber who came to rob money, food, and women.
Only in this way can the people of Annan convince can they facilitate the county reforms implemented in Annan in the future and carry out long-term rule.
Of course, whether to have high pressure after rule is going to happen in the future! At this stage, we must look like the Ming Dynasty cannot bear it and show it to the people of the world.
"The day after tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow!" Huang Zhong shouted again, "If the people of Annan don't come, I will...why do you say that idiom?"
A personal soldier from Huang Zhong next to him said at the right time, "Copy the same!"
"Yes!" Huang Zhong slapped his thigh, "I just copied it, let my subordinates pretend to be Annan people, and sneak attacked the camp to kill and set fire to the fire at night!"
As he said that, he suddenly grinned and said, "Anyway, these Korean bastards are the ones who died, just pretend to be the knife in the hands of the men!"
"What's this fucking idiom?"
Upon hearing this, even though Zhang Fu was well educated, he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
At this moment, a general came in from outside the account angrily.
"Old Lu, what's wrong?" Huang Zhong asked.
This person is Lu Yi, the Guangxi Chief Secretary General, who is actually a military man. He was originally a hereditary Qianjia family of Jinan Wei. He was brave in combat and had a strong personality and made many military achievements.
However, because Guangxi lacks officials, he was transferred from Shandong to Guangxi to become a civil servant. But this is actually very confusing.
Because Lu Yi had participated in several northern expeditions with Zhu Di before, and during the military reform, most of the former generals of the King of Yan like him were taken care of by the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Ministry of War.
"Those Koreans..." Lu Yi cursed when he came in, "Before the camp was established, he sneaked out and harmed the local Annan people!"
As he said that, he continued to curse, "Damn it, a few soldiers are going to cause trouble when they are pulling a woman. I directly asked my supervisory team to catch the current situation!"
"Hehe!" Huang Zhong smiled wickedly, "Will the soldiers behave like this?" He also cursed, "These are so bad people like Korea who can't fight, but they can harm people but they can harm flowers!"
"I've ordered it!" Lu Yi shouted, "I've chopped it on the spot!"
"Well, it's well chopped!" Huang Zhong continued to laugh, "If you don't chop, you will imitate him, and these five thousand people will be in chaos!" As he said that, he suddenly grinned again, "If the people of Annan really come, I don't know how many of these five thousand people will be left!"
"It's better to die!" Lu Yi cursed, "Save food!"
They didn't take human lives seriously in their conversation.
Zhang Fu sat for a while, remembered the pitiful King Chen, and said goodbye.
~~
At the same time, in a place called Qin Station, tens of thousands of Annan soldiers were waiting for the orders of the commander.
Their chief general was Chen Gongsu, the governor of Sanjiang, Annan, and now the confidant general of the Li thieves in Annan.
After understanding that there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty and can only solve the problem with force, Li Zhe granted the power to take charge of the first line of defense against the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Chen Gongsu, who was forty years old at the time, was worried.
Five thousand Ming troops escorted the King of Chen of Annan back to the country to inherit the throne. Before these five thousand Ming troops, there was an imperial edict from the Ming emperor, asking the Li family to take the position of the throne of Annan and be named Duke of the County.
Li Thief would definitely not agree to such an imperial edict.
But whether to take the initiative to fight or wait for the Ming army to fight, and how to fight, there has been no clear order to give Chen Gongsu, the general Annan.
He was very confused now. If he had no doubts and allowed these five thousand Ming troops to escort Chen Wangsun to Kyoto, he would have been the blame in the aftermath.
But if these people are not allowed to leave, he will also be responsible for the crime of starting a war without authorization.
"Is the general worried about what is happening in front of him?"
An aide walked into the tent and asked with a smile.
This person is the person Chen Gongsu relied most. When Chen Dynasty was in power, he was once a prefect and was from the Ruan family. Ruan Nanjian.
"Brother Nanjian!" Chen Gongsu said, "It is because of this that I can't make a decision! Five thousand Ming troops entered Annan in a mighty way. If they were asked to move forward, wouldn't my Sanjiang comforter become a joke? But if they didn't let them go..."
"Didn't you see clearly?" Ruan Nanjian smiled, "The imperial edicts of the Ming Dynasty are one day, and the imperial edicts are all criticisms of the king. No matter how humble the king is, the Ming Dynasty regards as a traitor."
"There is no possibility of reconciliation between the two countries. As a superior country in the Celestial Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty must fulfill its responsibilities as a sect leader. How can the lord of the current state be willing to be the throne of the Nine Five?"
As he said that, Ruan Nanjian sighed and continued to open his mouth, "The Ming Dynasty is preparing for war, and I, Annan, are also preparing for war. Both sides are about to break out now! You don't want to be the fuse that is about to break out, but you can't make it right!"
"Oh!" Chen Gongsu sighed heavily.
"Although the king did not issue you an order to intercept the fake King Chen Sun, it is your responsibility to defend the people!" Ruan Nanjian said again, "Besides, as far as the situation is concerned, intercepting King Chen Sun is a great achievement. Why are you hesitating?"
"Oh? What do you say?" Chen Gongsu asked hurriedly.
"I am in Annan court, whether to fight or not is still arguing endlessly! It's ridiculous. The Ming Dynasty has already fought, and we are still arguing..." Ruan Nanjian sneered, "The king wants to fight, but in the face of the ministers who are afraid of war, he has no reason to convince the ministers."
"You also know that after all... the king of the country has just taken office and has little prestige!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong nodded unsustainably.
"If Chen Tianping is not intercepted and killed now, the court's peace talks are rising! If Chen Tianping is not intercepted and killed, it is equivalent to letting the five thousand Ming troops march straight into the capital!"
Ruan Nanjian said again, "At that time, you will be finished if you want to fight again! And now, fighting can not only make the people in the court-China peace talks, but also make me Annan unite and resist strong enemies!"
"And, it is also preparing time for me, Annan, for the king!" Ruan Nanjian continued, "Think about it, if you intercepted and killed Prince Chen, the Ming Dynasty will send an envoy to ask! Then my court will say that he is fake, and both sides will continue to verbally..."
"In the face of the great enemy, what the king needs is a decisive minister." Ruan Nanjian sighed, "It's you!"
"If you do not intercept and kill Chen Wangsun, in the eyes of the king, you will not share the worries for the master! And once you take action, the king can only trust you to use it to inspire the morale of the army!"
Speaking of this, Ruan Nanjian stroked his long beard, "No surprise, the battle between the Ming Dynasty and I, Annan, was difficult to decide the outcome in seven or eight years! You have also read history books. How many years did Emperor Yang of Sui conquer Goryeo?"
"The longer the war is, the more beneficial it will be for you!" His voice, like a devil, constantly seducing the greed in Chen Gongsu's heart, "Once the war begins, you will have the right to conscription, build weapons, and will not be subject to the orders of the outside king! And precisely because you are the first to be affected, the king must also give people money to you and give you greater rights..."
As he said that, Ruan Nanjian smiled evilly, "To put it in a bad way, the ruler of the country became a powerful minister step by step! If the ruler of the country is able to do this, you can't do it?"
"Bold!" Chen Gongsu was shocked, and after scolding, he was silent for a long time, "Sir, you are so kind!"
