Chapter 556: The consequences of doing private work
A strange combination of words, "cut it off", had an unusually good effect. When it was the fifth elephant soldier's turn to be questioned, this guy was extremely cooperative. He answered whatever was asked and didn't ask him any questions. It was superfluous.
I didn't even dare to say a word.
The horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of being unreasonable, unreasonable, and even more unreasonable. The Ming Army general above is obviously an even more unreasonable one. For the sake of their own lives, they still refuse to do anything.
I will never compare myself to the other party's unreasonable state.
Qian Wubing listened to the translated answers coming from below, and occasionally opened his mouth. The ins and outs of the whole matter, after being supplemented by several elephant soldiers who were afraid that if they didn't speak, they would never have a chance to speak again, it finally became clear.
.
I'm sorry, Lord Ruan and his soldiers are on a private mission?
According to previous orders, their soldiers and horses belonging to the second prince were to cross the city of Champa to intercept and kill a group of soldiers and horses sent by the eldest prince to the border of Zhenla Kingdom. At least, this is what these soldiers knew. Everyone.
Haven't they been fighting against the eldest prince's soldiers and horses in the past few years? As for why they took a walk outside, their general ordered to attack the city. This is not what these soldiers can know, but they
It is certain that before they set off, the second prince had no such intention when he sent them on the expedition. They came to "conquer the rebels", not to "conquer the city". This is very clear.
In other words, Lord Ruan tortured the Champa people to death, and he was not destined to die!
Qian Wubing had some vague guesses in his heart. When he saw Tang Yin beside him, Tang Yin almost didn't think about it and immediately gave Qian Wubing an answer: "Become the king!"
There have been many such things in China for thousands of years. As Tang Yin, who is well-read in poetry and books, he can guess what this Ruan Lord wants to do without even using his brain. He holds a heavy army to occupy a city, and his own
The Lord is busy with the war again. Even in the face of his lawlessness, I am afraid that he will not be able to send troops to deal with him. The most likely thing is to ignore him. If Lord Ruan is more cunning, he will not be able to deal with his second prince.
, Yin and Yang contradict each other, and maintain the relationship in name only, and do not bear the name of rebellion, then as the second prince, I am afraid that there will be no way to do anything to him. If it were not for his ambition and the idea of self-reliance, Tang Yindu
Dare to take off your own head!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain the fact that Lord Ruan took the initiative to attack the city on his own initiative. The general was not allowed to accept military orders from abroad. He wanted the generals to adapt to the situation and not be too rigid. However, he did not let the generals go out to attack the armor in the east.
country, and the generals will adapt to the situation and run to the west to give country B a big mouth!
"I wonder why they are so keen on firearms. For two cannons, they even put themselves in it!" Qian Wubing clapped his hands and retreated: "How dare this guy have to defend the city and face the censure of his master?
Naturally, the more and sharper the firearms, the better, and it’s not his own money that he spent anyway!”
"The massacre of the city should also be based on this consideration. They don't have to kill all the people in the city, but they can't do it without killing some. They really caused chaos in the city when others came to attack the city, so as to
They only have thousands of soldiers and horses, but they may not be able to withstand it. Some people should have escaped from the city that day, and those who stayed in the city should not be too many!" Tang Yin said.
"I heard that one or two thousand people have gathered in Panluo. When the city was prosperous, there were forty or fifty thousand people. This time, nine out of ten rooms will be empty!"
"Sir, at this time, what you should consider is how to deal with the counterattack of these Dayue people. As for the people of this city, that is secondary!" Tang Yin advised in a low voice: "No matter how these people are now, at least they were still there before.
It’s not me, the people of Ming Dynasty, you don’t need to feel sorry for them!”
I feel sorry for him! Qian Wubing murmured in his heart, these Dai Viet people are not good at fighting or killing, and they are not easy at all. If they really kill the whole city, it will be easier for me. This is not just a
Is it a replica of Tamsui? Just move a group of people from the Ming Dynasty directly from the coast of Fujian and Guangdong. We don’t have many other people in the Ming Dynasty. Compared with others, we really have no one to fear!
Now that the tail has been left uncut, it is difficult to arrange for them. Apart from other things, I would not be able to lose my face and kill them all because of the words "people of the Ming Dynasty"!
"I'm not worried about this anymore. Before today, thousands of them were guarding the city, and I dared to lead an army to break the city. After today, when it's our turn to defend the city, we still worry about the defeat of these remnant soldiers!" Qian
Wu Bian shook his head, put away the resentment in his mind, and said confidently: "What I'm worried about is
The Dai Viet Kingdom has a lot of troops, but they are not the ones who dream of becoming kings themselves. The fact that Champa can linger here for several years in a small area shows that neither the eldest prince nor the second prince has any intention to stay here.
Looking at the size of the Champa Port, I'm afraid that both parties will regard this place as their commercial place!"
He smiled: "Now that it's us, I'm afraid they don't want to fight anymore. I'm sure that as long as any one of them moves their troops, the other one will definitely not be far behind. No one wants his opponent to grab his throat.
, this kind of situation where you need it but can’t let the other party get it, it’s better to have it fall into the hands of a third party like us!”
He pointed to the north, "Don't forget, over there, our soldiers and horses are not an object that they dare to ignore. Do they dare to use troops against our Ming Dynasty at the same time of internal fighting?
"
Finally, he concluded: "So, what we have to deal with is just a few thousand remnant soldiers who escaped from this city, maybe even less. It depends on their generals' ability to gather the soldiers!"
Tang Yin listened to Qian Wubing's eloquent talk one by one and nodded secretly. It had only been a short time since he had been in the city, but Qian Wubing had already thought about these things clearly, thinking clearly and logically, and more importantly, every sentence
It's all reasonable,
The conclusion that Tang Yin came to after careful consideration would probably be nothing more than this. And this person was able to come to this conclusion in such a short period of time. This was simply not something that the vulgar Jin Yiwei in his mind could do!
He is not worried but happy. The more capable the people he serves are, this is a good thing for him, Tang Yin. Naturally, he is arrogant and unwilling to give advice to a idiot. Even if his career is hopeless, he, Tang Yin, still wants to be a sleeping dragon and a phoenix.
Such a mountain person.
"By the way, have the documents been sent back?" Qian Wubing suddenly thought of this matter. He personally told Tang Yin to handle it!
"Don't worry, sir. At dawn today, the clipper has already headed towards Qiongzhou with the documents. After arriving in Qiongzhou in a few days, it will then transfer to Guangdong. Your Majesty has used the seal. No one in the capital city dares to delay!"
"Hey!" Qian Wubing sighed. His subordinates were too efficient. He also wanted Zhu Houzhao to send some soldiers and horses to guard this place. If no one took over the occupation, it would be impossible for him to use his huge fleet.
Just spend it here!
…
Just as Tang Yin said, the clipper arrived in Qiongzhou three days later. The Qiongzhou government did not dare to delay at all, and immediately sent a ship to escort the courier to Guangdong. This letter and official documents were rushed eight hundred miles away as soon as they set foot on the land of Ming Dynasty.
, went straight to the capital.
This official document was sent to the cabinet first. Although the origin of this military report from the Overseas Qianhu Office of Jinyiwei is a bit strange, the bachelor on duty, for the sake of the eight hundred miles of expediting,
Still not daring to delay, I picked it up right then and there.
Scholars, all of them who are not knowledgeable people, know to some extent where this Champa is. Moreover, when the Sanbao eunuchs went to the West, this Champa was the only way to go every time. They were even familiar with it. However, familiarity is familiar.
, but if you think too much of that small country, you may not be obedient, listen to Ming, and don’t cause trouble to Ming. When Ming asks you to support the situation, you will immediately send people to support the situation. Daming
It's better if I don't want to see you. Don't annoy me in front of my eyes. This kind of Champaign is a good Champaign.
Not only the city is occupied, but also many foreign and small countries. Most of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty are probably thinking the same way. If it is said that the Ming Dynasty covets this small land, no one will believe it. I, the Ming Dynasty, have everything and will take a fancy to it.
That place?
However, it is another matter for this tiny land to take the initiative to return and return it to the Ming Dynasty. In the fashionable words of later generations, this means that interests are not important, but this political significance is too great.
.
Although it is just a small country, it is not a country. This is too embarrassing for the Ming Dynasty, and it is too embarrassing for His Majesty the Emperor! This is even higher than "all nations come to court", this is directly "all nations come to court"
The rhythm of "throw"!
When Zhu Houzhao was about to take a nap after lunch, he saw this official document brought by his college students. At that time, his sleepiness flew to nowhere. He took the official document and read it over and over again several times. He was full of it.
His face was glowing red.
"The document contains the national seal of the Champa State. The ministers and cabinet ministers have compared it with the credential presented by our dynasty when the envoys of the Champa State paid tribute for decades. It is conclusive!"
"It's true, of course it's true. How dare Qian Wubing lie to me at such a young age!" Zhu Houzhao waved the official document, "There is also the official document from Jin Yiwei!"
"No more!" Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe lowered his head and replied: "It was urgent for eight hundred miles. This is the official document that was delivered. Apart from that, there is no other piece of paper!"
Zhu Houzhao frowned and looked at Yang Tinghe, waiting for him to continue. Qian Wubing would definitely not send such an official document carelessly without any explanation. Yang Tinghe must have an explanation.
"However, Wei Chen thought that Qian Tongzhi was acting prudent this time. Wei Chen asked the Jin Yiwei who delivered the letter. On that day, before the official document left Qian Tongzhi's fleet, Qian Tongzhi was dispatching warships to prepare for the invasion of Champa City.
Qian Tongzhi must have thought of this. No matter what the outcome of the battle was, this official document was delivered to His Majesty. Our Ming Dynasty was victorious. With this official document, the occupation of the city would be a success for generations to come.
It is under the rule of my Ming Dynasty and cannot be changed. No matter who invades my city, they will be my enemies of the Ming Dynasty!"
"No, he doesn't have the troops!" Zhu Houzhao shook his head: "Deploy troops, mobilize troops to occupy the city. Since it is our place, we have to send troops to guard it. The Tatars are all honest, and they dare to play around with a few clowns."
!”
"Wei Chen and others are here to discuss this matter with His Majesty..." Yang Tinghe nodded calmly and said.
