Chapter 747: Visiting Guangdong and Guangxi——Annan People's Reaction
"At this time, Zhu Yunxi must have left the capital of the Ming Dynasty." On the same day, in the back garden of his palace, Hu Jishen suddenly said to his son Hu Yan. Since the original purpose of deceiving the Ming Dynasty had been shattered, Hu Yan changed his mind. He returned his surname.
"Father, according to the information obtained from the Ming Dynasty by the spies we sent, Zhu Yunxi should indeed leave the capital of the Ming Dynasty today," Hu Xi said.
Shortly after Chen Tianping was assassinated at the end of June, Hu Ji Yao and Hu Yan's father and son received the news. They were very happy at the time, thinking that they had successfully eliminated the disaster of national subjugation, and celebrated for several days.
But not long after, the Ming Dynasty's envoys came to Xijing City, severely reprimanded them for daring to commit regicide again in the Ming Dynasty, and solemnly announced that the Ming Dynasty soldiers would set foot in Ping'an and capture the father and son back to the capital for punishment. And when the envoys raised questions, they showed them complete evidence, showing that Ming Dynasty did not wrongly accuse you.
At that time, Hu Yan was so angry that he drew the sword from his waist and wanted to kill the Ming envoy, but was stopped by Hu Ji Yao. Not only that, Hu Ji Yao was still very respectful to the envoy, and his treatment was still the highest, respectful. He respectfully sent him away from Annan.
Then Hu Jiyou began to prepare for war, while investigating the situation in the Ming Dynasty, recruiting troops, and uniting the domestic families.
Then they learned that the Ming Dynasty was going to send 600,000 troops to attack Annan. Hu Huan was frightened at that time. The ethnic tribes in Annan were not very obedient, with a total population of just over 6 million, but the Ming Dynasty was actually going to send 600,000 troops to conquer Annan. Wan Dajun. Only then did he understand why Hu Jisao was so respectful to the envoy.
Hu Jiyou accepted the facts calmly. Not only that, he also ordered that the new soldiers recruited from various places should be temporarily sent to the border and instead be sent to the capital first.
Hu Jishen's explanation was: "The Ming Dynasty cannot complete the recruitment of so many troops within three or two months. It would be good to send troops in October. So there is no need to send all the people to the border now; instead, they will be sent to the border." Staying in the capital can save some food, so my father ordered them to stay in the capital.'
After that, they continued to prepare for war and tried hard to spy on the affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and finally got the news that Zhu Yunxi was going to Guangdong for a patrol.
"Father, could it be that my father wants to send troops to assassinate Zhu Yunxi? If it succeeds, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in civil strife, and the military crisis will be resolved without a fight." Hu Yan asked.
"Confused! If Zhu Yunxi is assassinated by our people and dies, no matter who succeeds the throne in the Ming Dynasty, revenge on me, Dayu, will be a top priority. I will not give up until I, Dayu, are destroyed. In that case, I, Dayu, will not give up. Is there any physiology?"
"Back then, Goguryeo fought against the Sui and Tang dynasties in Liaodong, and defeated Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and others, but so what? The national power of the Central Plains was ten times that of Goguryeo, but in the end Goguryeo was destroyed by Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty."
"So even if the Ming Dynasty wants to invade Dayu, we must be cautious with the Ming Dynasty. The purpose is to use fighting to promote peace and to delay change."
"First of all, we must not take the initiative to invade the Ming Dynasty. All armies must strictly abide by orders and attack unless provoked."
"Secondly, when dealing with the Ming Dynasty's army, the general guards will be eliminated, but all generals with more than a thousand households must be screened and captured if they can be captured. If it is really known that they are from a martial arts hall or have a strong background , and generals above the rank of general, must not be killed."
"In addition, when it comes to dealing with the Shangzhiwei, even if our army has a huge advantage, we cannot completely wipe out the enemy. We have to let a few people go, and we cannot make the emperor of the Ming Dynasty lose his face..." Hu Ji Yao continued nagging. A lot.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, Dayu or Annan are too small. It is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to maintain an army of 600,000 troops to fight outside all year round, but if it only maintains an army of 1 or 200,000 troops to fight against Annan, it will not lead to a fiscal deficit and can maintain a balance. .
But Annan would not be able to do that. Annan maintained an army of 200,000 for constant warfare. In less than two years, the country would collapse, the country would be full of rebels, the frontline troops would defect, and their Yu Dynasty would be over.
Therefore, even if his country was about to be invaded by the Ming Dynasty, Hu Ji-suo had to be careful when facing the Ming Dynasty because he was weak, and did not dare to offend the Ming Dynasty, in case the Ming Dynasty would become angry and refuse to negotiate for peace even if the war was unfavorable.
Just like in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese treated Chinese prisoners of war cruelly. From their subsequent cruel treatment of American prisoners of war, it can be seen that these people were not only inhumane, but also idiots. Anyone who dared to abuse American prisoners of war later All were retaliated against. After World War II, the United States established a separate military court in Yokohama to specifically try war criminals below Class B who participated in, planned and implemented the Pacific War. There were not many such people after the war, and they were all sentenced to death.
However, China, which also tortured and killed many people, did not retaliate in this way. A very important reason is that the Chinese government at that time was still in a weak mentality. It felt that it would have to get along with Fusang in the future and was unwilling to offend Fusang too much, so it gave up on Fusang. The investigation of low-level war criminals. As for the other force, it is a different set of logic, but this force has never had a weak mentality.
"Father," Hu Xi waited until his father finally finished speaking and said, "I understand what your father said, but the assassins we send may not necessarily be discovered."
"The assassins sent to assassinate Chen Tianping last time were discovered by the people of the Ming Dynasty. They were sent by us. If the people sent at that time were not discovered by the people of the Ming Dynasty, even if they still had to fight the Ming Dynasty in the end, they would not be so passive." Hu Ji Yao said.
"It was an accident last time..." Before Hu Huan could finish, he was interrupted by Hu Jisha: "An accident happened last time. Does it mean that there won't be an accident again if we are dispatched again? Such things must be guaranteed to be foolproof. Execute it, otherwise as long as it leaks out, our Chen family will destroy itself."
Hu Yan finally stopped arguing, but muttered: "Father, can we only wait for the Ming people to attack our city while we defend it? Is there nothing else we can do?"
"Yes, why not." Hu Jishen suddenly laughed: "Sending our people to assassinate Zhu Yunxi is naturally impossible. I will never allow it. But there are many people who are dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxi. These people may not dare or have the ability to kill him. He, but it is uncertain, will cause a bloody storm in the Ming Dynasty. In this way, Zhu Yunxi may not be interested in attacking Annan. The troops that have been assembled may be used to calm the situation in the country."
"What forces in the Ming Dynasty were so dissatisfied with Zhu Yunxi? The remnants of the former rebels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Hu Xi asked.
"It's not them. They don't have much strength now, and Zhu Yunxi also uses gentle methods to appease them. They will no longer oppose Zhu Yunxi. As for who they are, don't ask. Anyway, these people have nothing to do with me, Dayu. , we will not be implicated in any way." Hu Jisao said.
"Since the father said so, my son won't ask anymore." Although Hu Huan was still curious, he stopped asking.
After that, he had nothing to say to Hu Ji Ya and bowed down.
Hu Jisao stood there and muttered to himself again, not knowing what he said, and then let the eunuch help him back to the palace.
