Chapter 1578 Daning and Wei and Liang will never be reconciled
When Wei Jun and Emperor Liang came to Beijing, they thought it would be a great success, but they didn't want it to end in such a bleak way. The two of them came in a hurry and left in a hurry...
Guan Ning got up very early.
He likes the day, he feels more during the day than at night...
After he came back, the girls saw the scars on his body and knew that he was seriously injured. In order to let him recuperate, they joined forces to abstain from sex for him.
This really stifled Guan Ning, but the girls jointly refused to let him touch him and hid far away. There was nothing they could do.
It wasn't until yesterday that he really started to enjoy sex. Not only Ji Rui, but also several other women also tried their best to satisfy the desire he had been missing for so long...
Very cool!
Vent during the day and sleep at night.
He woke up feeling refreshed this morning, and he even asked Ji Rui to see Ji Chuan off.
My uncle is a strong person!
Today another court meeting was held, during which Guan Ning spoke out.
"The soldiers are fighting bloody battles, and they have sacrificed so much to win victory. The war is over, but they have to accept the enemy's request for peace... I can't do it!"
Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "Five years ago, the Wei-Liang Alliance dispatched more than a million troops to destroy Daning!"
"Now, the alliance between the two countries has collapsed, but they have come to me, Daning, to seek peace. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If we, Daning, are defeated, the country will be ruined, people will die, and lives will be lost."
"Thanks to the concerted efforts of the people, the dedication of the officials, and the bloody battles of the soldiers, we in Daning were able to avoid the danger of destroying our country."
Guan Ning did not boast, but the courtiers all knew that the victory of the war was mainly due to the presence of Emperor Yuanwu in Daning.
If it had been during the reign of Emperor Longjing of the previous dynasty, I am afraid that several well-off families would have perished.
After the war ended, many details were reported back. The courtiers all thought that His Majesty was personally leading the expedition and was just commanding from the rear. In fact, he was leading the troops to fight, regardless of life or death.
In many wars, it was because of His Majesty's personal leadership that morale was boosted and the situation of the war was reversed.
Recently it was reported that His Majesty was seriously injured in Beiyi and quietly returned to Beijing to recuperate from his injuries.
The courtiers all have a kind of heartfelt awe for Your Majesty, because Your Majesty is really for the country...
Guan Ning didn't know what the ministers were thinking, so he continued: "I cannot forgive the evil deeds he has done and will counterattack!"
"There is no period of reconciliation between Daning and Wei and Liang. They are still in a hostile war. The army will be stationed in place to stabilize the occupied land and will not withdraw into the country for the time being..."
"I'm talking about holding on to the occupied territory, not continuing the attack!"
Guan Ning added something special, and it was obvious that the ministers were relieved.
In fact, after learning that His Majesty refused peace talks, the courtiers were a little nervous. They were afraid that His Majesty would take advantage of him...
The fact is that Daning does not have the conditions to continue fighting, and its national strength can no longer support it.
Although we won a victory, it was a tragic victory. If we continue to fight, the burden will be too heavy and it may lead to domestic chaos.
Daning also needs to be restored.
I heard His Majesty say that the troops will not withdraw for the time being, but will only stick to the occupied territory. This is completely acceptable. This is a spoil of war for Daning.
In the later stages of the war, the Wei-Liang alliance began to disintegrate, and they no longer cared about each other and started fighting independently.
The war with the Liang Kingdom has an important node, and that is the Battle of the City!
In this battle, the enemy army was completely defeated. Emperor Wu of Liang Zhu Wen died. The Liang army was completely defeated and began to retreat!
Daning's counterattack began and quickly took back the Beilin Province that had been ceded to Daning. In fact, there was no fighting during the whole process. Liang's army kept retreating, and Daning's army pursued them all the way.
The Liang Army wanted to abandon the Beilin Province and rebuild the defense line in the Izumo Province, but at that time the morale of the Liang Army completely collapsed, the soldiers were seriously scattered, and they had no combat effectiveness at all, so they continued to retreat.
At this time, another thing happened. Zhu Zhen, who was about to return to Beijing to take the throne, learned that Zhu Zhen had rebelled, and immediately summoned General Fan Cang to lead his army back to Beijing.
The originally small number of main troops were transferred back, and the remaining troops were unable to resist the Daning army and could only continue to retreat.
During the drastic changes in the Liang Kingdom, Daning's army advanced rapidly without encountering any obstacles and directly captured the Izumo Province.
Liang State is the country with the largest land area in the Central Plains. It implements a provincial system. There are thirteen provinces in the country, and each province is comparable to several states in Daning, or even larger.
Capturing Shangyun Province already occupies a lot of territory.
At this time, Daning's army was unstoppable and continued to attack and entered Liaoqing Province. It was not until the Liang Dynasty stabilized the situation and Tianshun Emperor Zhu Zhen sent additional troops to Liaoqing to rebuild the defense line that Daning stopped attacking.
In fact, there is no consumption in this process because there are no obstacles encountered.
From this point of view, Daning has gained a lot. These situations were only released recently, and the courtiers only reacted.
The reason why Your Majesty did not agree to the peace proposal of Wei and Liang was because the land occupied by Daning's army was enough.
Take Liang Guo as an example. The condition for peace is to cede the provinces that Daning already occupies. No more will be agreed.
But these provinces are already occupied, do you need to cede them?
The answer is obvious.
They understand.
Your Majesty is measured, it is enough to stabilize the occupied land... wait until it is stabilized and the national strength recovers before we can continue to advance!
The courtiers were relieved that His Majesty was not on top. What they were most afraid of at this time was to win a victory and suddenly become swollen and forget about it.
But who is Guan Ning?
He led troops at fifteen, became emperor at twenty, and has participated in countless wars. How could he not understand that wars require intervals?
No matter how strong the army is, it cannot be treated like a donkey and not allowed to grind down.
We must abide by the rules of war.
There is never a continuity between offense and defense...
The war has lasted for five years, and the soldiers are exhausted physically and mentally. They need to rest first, then strengthen their troops, replenish their troops, and then continue the attack...
Therefore, Guan Ning's intention was to stabilize the occupied land rather than continue the attack. There is an essential difference.
He is not in a hurry.
As I said just now, there is no period of reconciliation between Daning and Wei and Liang. This is actually paving the way for the next attack.
War cannot be started haphazardly, it must be done with righteousness in mind.
Daning has occupied Dayi.
If you want to destroy me, Daning will take the lead. You will do it on the first day and I will do it on the fifteenth day. To put it simply, I will attack at any time and use troops at any time.
If you can, fight me and kick me out...
Why did Zhu Zhen and Ji Chuan come all the way to sue for peace? They just wanted to end this war.
It doesn't matter whether it's ceding land or paying compensation.
Without a conclusion, peace of mind will never be possible, and people will inevitably be panicked. How can we talk about restoring stability?
Now, Guan Ning will put such pressure on them and retain the option to attack at any time...
"In addition, there is another very important thing!"
Guan Ning said solemnly: "That is to reward according to merit. The Ministry of War and Tiance Mansion should formulate a reward and punishment plan as soon as possible based on the military merit reported by the army... The Military Casting Bureau and the Smelting Bureau should hurry up to make merit reward plaques... and inform the front line.
Army, I will go there to receive honors and awards this year."
Chapter completed!
