The atmosphere in the huge Chongzheng Hall seems a bit strange.
Although Emperor Yongxing made some shocking remarks, everyone in the hall knew that what Emperor Yongxing said was not entirely true. It could even be said that in the Dayu Dynasty at this moment, the King of Chu
The regent's right to speak is much more important than that of the emperor!
When the officials from King Chu's faction in the palace all looked at the man next to Emperor Yongxing, King Chu also stood up at the right time.
"We, Dayu, and Bei Liao were originally friendly countries, but they have been feuding for many years. As the saying goes, when is the time to retaliate? Your Majesty is still young, so I thought that what Your Majesty just said was just a temporary statement and that there are countless things you can do."
"Go back and tell your great Khan that I won't give you the great honor, but the negotiation field can be opened. I believe that this will be the beginning of the ice-breaking of the relationship between the two countries."
King Chu said calmly, completely ignoring the surprised and furious Emperor Yongxing around him.
Hearing this, the leader of the Bei Liao envoy had an ambiguous expression. Logically speaking, he should argue with his reasoning and ask Dayu to contribute coins to Bei Liao. However, the purpose of their trip to Dayu was not for the small amount of coins.
Open for discussion with what.
Spying on Dayu’s reality is their real purpose!
Now, the two most powerful people in Dayu have become at war with each other because of their arrival. This is exactly what Beiliao wants to see.
"Thank you to His Highness the Regent. I will go back and report to the Khan. I believe that under the leadership of His Highness the Regent, Dayu and Beiliao will forever form an alliance."
I have to say that this mission sent by Bei Liao really came to muddy the waters.
When these words were spoken, the expression on Emperor Yongxing's face gradually became ferocious.
You know, he is the emperor of Dayu, and the King of Chu is just the regent. What's more, he is not a child who doesn't understand anything. Why does he need a regent to interfere in his own affairs?
By what the envoy from Bei Liao said, didn't he treat him as air and the King of Chu as a well-known emperor?
"I haven't agreed yet!"
"I am the emperor of Dayu. I said that I will not open up the business market and will not have good relations with Bei Liao!"
Emperor Yongxing frowned and roared, staring straight at King Chu, his gaze was like a devouring beast.
When the King of Chu heard this, he slowly turned his head. The two men looked at each other like gold and iron, and the atmosphere in the palace suddenly dropped to freezing point!
Dead silence, dead silence!
Although he knew that when the King of Chu came to Beijing to serve as regent, he would inevitably have conflicts with Emperor Yongxing, and eventually they broke up completely.
But no one thought that this day would come so quickly.
It was only September, and only two months had passed since the death of Emperor Tianqi. The regent and Emperor Yongxing had a fierce conflict in the Chongzheng Hall in front of the civil and military envoys of the Manchu Dynasty and the Northern Liao envoys, and they broke out.
It seemed like it was just an instant.
"You can retreat now, and we will discuss the matter of the currency exchange later!"
The King of Chu said angrily, and after hearing the sound, officials led the Northern Liao envoy down.
When there was only Dayu on the field, King Chu suddenly turned around. He looked at Emperor Yongxing with a sinister look on his face and asked sternly: "Does Your Majesty have to let Dayu fall into the flames of war again?" King Chu's questioning was quite sharp, because judging from Dayu's current situation, he could not afford to fight another battle.
One hundred and eighty years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dayu is no longer the empire it once was that could attack everywhere and make barbarians from all directions fearful.
Although Dayu has recovered a lot of his strength after eighteen years of rule by Emperor Tianqi, the invasion of Bei Liao last year has exposed Dayu's strength.
If Dayu and Bei Liao go to war again at this time, it will be a heavy blow to Dayu regardless of winning or losing.
What's more, there is a rebellion by the White Lotus bandits within Dayu now. At this time of internal and external troubles, the King of Chu wants to calm down the internal affairs first before fighting foreigners, instead of dragging Dayu into the quagmire of war for the sake of dignity and honor, not to mention Yongxing.
The emperor's provocation was really hard for him to accept.
You must know that he is the regent of Dayu. Even if Emperor Yongxing is the emperor, he should be consulted first. Instead of making arbitrary decisions on his own and preventing him from coming to Taiwan in front of the Manchu civil and military envoys and the Northern Liao envoys. p>
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face. Even if the King of Chu was an honest man, he would be furious, not to mention that he looked down on Emperor Yongxing, a reckless and ignorant boy.
Emperor Yongxing was furious when the King of Chu said this about him. He couldn't bear to bow down to Bei Liao in exchange for temporary peace.
That's not true peace!
Blindly giving in will only make Bei Liao think that Dayu is weak and can be bullied. All he wants is to inherit the will of his ancestors and use his sword to let the barbarians in the north understand the power of the Central Plains dynasty. The barbarians fear power but not virtue. p>
But now, King Chu's attitude of not daring to offend Bei Liao and always wanting to appease the situation has completely brought out the anger in Emperor Yongxing's heart.
He pointed at the King of Chu and cursed: "How can you trust the ambitions of Hulu and Wolf? Since the founding of the country by Taizu, all the emperors have never made peace with the Northern Liao Dynasty, and neither will I!"
"As the regent of Dayu, you do not want to govern the country and stabilize the situation of the court, but you collude with Bei Liao and have evil intentions, which is against the last emperor's orders!"
"How can such a traitorous traitor seek glory as a regent of great reputation?"
After all, Emperor Yongxing succeeded to the throne as a prince. Although he was cynical and did not study hard before, he felt the burden on his shoulders after inheriting the throne and learned a lot.
Judging from these words, every word was heart-breaking, and they directly labeled the King of Chu as a traitor to foreign countries and seeking glory.
It's just that he is still too young. Compared with the King of Chu who has been fighting with his father, Emperor Tianqi, for more than ten years, this trick is really not good enough.
The king of Chu smiled contemptuously, glanced at all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty accuses Gu of betraying the country and seeking glory. I dare to ask you, is Gu Gu really what your Majesty said?"
The question was posed to the civil and military officials, and all of a sudden the officials present felt the pressure. They either actively or passively chose sides.
Some people claimed to support the King of Chu, saying that Emperor Yongxing was temporarily confused and could not distinguish between good and bad.
Some people defended Emperor Yongxing, saying that the Northern Liao Dynasty should not make friends with him, and the King of Chu should act cautiously.
It's just that there are obviously more people siding with King Chu than with Emperor Yongxing. King Chu's original management certainly worked, but Emperor Yongxing's reckless behavior just now also disappointed many officials who originally chose neutrality. p>
After all, as an emperor, publicly opposing the regent on such an occasion would be the next worst thing to do.
Su Chengli and others naturally defended the emperor, but they also knew that Emperor Yongxing's operation was really a mess. After speaking to the best of their ability, they all felt disappointed and felt that their future was gloomy.
Looking at the civil and military statements of the entire dynasty, King Chu's lips curved.
Good brother, our eldest nephew is not that good either!
Regarding the envoy from Bei Liao, it was finally settled.
However, the turmoil caused by this incident has completely emerged. The conflict between King Chu and Emperor Yongxing in the Chongzheng Palace has been completely made public. All civil and military officials saw this dispute surface with their own eyes. p>
This was like the straw that broke the camel's back, the fuse that lit the dynamite, pushing the controversy that should have ended eighteen years ago but has been delayed until now from behind the scenes to the front.
The polite and harmonious atmosphere that had been maintained on the surface suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the situation in the capital that suddenly heated up.
No one can tell when the war between King Chu and Emperor Yongxing will begin, and some smart people have already begun to prepare a way out, preparing to protect themselves in the coming turmoil, or even to seize chestnuts from the fire for their own benefit.<
/p>
After all, if it were just the internal conflicts of Dayu, it might not give people such a gloomy premonition, but by chance, the envoys of Beiliao came to Dayu to intervene at this critical juncture. What does this mean?<
/p>
This means that Beiliao is already watching, ready to pounce on Dayu and take a bite when he is weak.
In the 180th year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dayu was no longer as brave as before. If the Northern Liao Dynasty sent troops south during the internal struggle between the King of Chu and Emperor Yongxing, what would be the end of Dayu?
No one dares to imagine.
As the sky in the capital gradually darkened, news about the court began to spread in the capital. Countless people felt terrified and uneasy, and panic spread quickly like a plague of locusts.
However, this has nothing to do with Chen Ping, who is currently in Jingzhou, because he is obsessed with how to eliminate the White Lotus Thief.
Although Chen Ping strongly agrees with Luo Li's statement, this is his first time on the battlefield, and the three thousand elite soldiers in his hands are the only power he can currently control.
On the other hand, the enemy had tens of thousands of troops, so he did not dare to act rashly for fear of destroying these three thousand men.
However, there was not much time left for Chen Ping. After thinking about it, he decided to launch an attack immediately. Even if the White Lotus bandit's camp was surrounded by mountains and rivers and was easy to defend and difficult to attack, there was no way he could wait any longer. p>
The strength of the enemy and ourselves will ultimately be determined by fighting each other on the battlefield.
Moreover, although the White Lotus bandits have many troops, most of them are just a mob. On the other hand, Chen Ping's three thousand men are all elites, and they have always been able to retreat calmly even if they are defeated.
When the sun passed over his head, Chen Ping rode forward slowly on horseback. In front of him were three thousand Dayu cavalry who filed out. All of them were fully equipped with double horse and armor, and they were equipped with swords and guns, bows and arrows.
Just like an elite teacher.
They rode horses and moved forward slowly, keeping silent and making as little noise as possible to conceal their whereabouts.
When they were about to arrive at the White Lotus Thieves' camp, some experts from the martial arts community quickly moved out to cut off the enemy's overt and hidden sentinels one by one. The speed was so fast that Chen Ping almost didn't notice it.
Seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Even if these people were not as good as Luo Li, they could still be considered masters. Now all these hundreds of martial arts masters are under his command and can be used for his own use. As long as they can be used properly, this will
It is a force that cannot be ignored.
When the three thousand cavalry were assembled on the top of the mound, the White Lotus bandits at the foot of the mountain had not found any sign of them. It was obvious that this was a good opportunity for a surprise attack.
Chen Ping turned to look at Luo Li and asked, "Brother Luo, can we order an attack?"
Luo Li put up the awning with his hands, looked around carefully, and then nodded to Chen Ping.
At this time, Li Feng on the side also clenched his fists and said: "They are a bunch of chickens and dogs, but they let us touch them so easily."
"Chen Ping, even though we only have 3,000 people, we are all elites and can be as good as ten, not to mention the geographical advantage. As long as you give the order, the whole army will charge and use the terrain to completely overwhelm them.
After that, this rabble will have no choice but to run away in embarrassment!"
Hearing Li Feng's relaxed words, Chen Ping couldn't help but be a little suspicious. After all, the opponent had tens of thousands of troops, while his own only had three thousand. However, after he saw the determination and confidence on the faces of Li Feng and Luo Li, Chen Ping also
Relieved.
What's important in fighting is morale. If you build up your strength in one go, it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted.
Back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, was able to defeat Liu Bang's 560,000 coalition troops in Pengcheng with 30,000 cavalry. Why couldn't Chen Ping, the king of Chu, defeat tens of thousands of bandits with 3,000 elite cavalry?
Thinking of this, Chen Ping suddenly became excited. You must know that this is his first time on the battlefield. Although he is facing only a bunch of cult thieves, it would be great if he can get off to a good start and win a good fortune.<
/p>
After understanding this, Chen Ping gave an immediate and decisive order.
"All the troops, charge!"
After he gave the order, all the three thousand elite riders moved forward without Chen Ping's command. They all consciously increased their speed slowly and controlled the horse speed within a certain level to maintain the horse's physical strength. p>
But even so, the downward impact is extremely fast due to the mountain's strength.
The sound of horse hooves was not too loud at first, but as time went by, the speed of the three thousand men and six thousand riders gradually became faster, and the distance between the enemy and ourselves gradually narrowed. In the White Lotus Bandit camp at the foot of the mountain, someone finally noticed something strange. "Yes, they are officers and soldiers!"
Someone in the camp shouted loudly, and it quickly spread throughout the camp.
When they began to look around in panic for their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy, Li Feng, who was leading the charge, grinned.
"What a thief, have you discovered it now? It's too late!"
"Brothers, speed up! Crush them!"
Li Feng roared at the top of his lungs. At the same time, he bent his bow and aimed an arrow at a White Lotus thief who was waving a flag and shouting. He let go of the arrow with a swish. Li Feng didn't allow Li Feng to look carefully to see if the man fell to the ground after being hit by the arrow, so he put away the bow and arrow.
He picked up the spear, lowered his body, and rushed forward with unstoppable momentum.
In the past, he fought against Hu people who were also cavalry in the Northern Army, and he also learned the skill of riding and shooting under the influence. Although he was not as good as the Hu people who were born on horseback, he was still considered to be proficient in archery and horsemanship in Dayu.
.
At this moment, facing these White Lotus thieves who are almost pure infantry, Li Feng will naturally not take them seriously. This is not because he underestimates the enemy, but because the cavalry is like this.
On the battlefield, cavalry comes and goes like the wind, and the initiative to fight or retreat lies in the hands of the cavalry.
It was precisely because of this that he did not stop Chen Ping from risking his own life. He had three thousand fine cavalry in hand. I dare not say anything else. At least he could guarantee his safe withdrawal after fighting the White Lotus Thief.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that he, Li Feng, is overly worried. The White Lotus Thief's combat effectiveness does not require them to make so many preparations and have so many worries.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A wave of arrows fell, and many thieves in the Bailian camp were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. Tens of thousands of people were like a leaderless group, and they were unable to quickly organize an effective counterattack.
All this was seen by Li Feng. At this moment, he had already sentenced the White Lotus thief to death in his heart!
