Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth: strong walls and clear fields
Chapter 285: Strong walls and clear fields
Yin'an Hall is the main hall of the royal palace in the inner city of Tokyo, the Great Yue Kingdom. The hall is located in the center of the central axis according to the layout of the Forbidden City.
This is not only a place for the discussions of the minority courts of Yue, but also many celebrations are held here.[]
Above the silver steps is the King of Yue’s silver chair, with a desk placed in front of the chair, and on the desk are tiger talisman seals, ceramic pen holders and pen holders for artful and elegant style.
Li Hui sat on the silver chair and finally waited for his ministers. These ministers were headed by Mo Zhengyong, who was considered Li Hui's father-in-law. His daughter married Li Hui and Mo
The son born to the concubine has also been established as the prince, so Mo Zhengyong is one of the top relatives in Yue Kingdom. Headed by Mo Zhengyong, dozens of civil servants wearing Ming Dynasty costumes stood on the left side of the silver stairs.
Standing opposite Mo Zhengyong and others was a row of military officers.
The first person standing on the right is General Zheng Zhen. The Zheng family and the Mo family are both great families of Yue. Zheng Zhen followed the former king to personally conquer the Nanzhang Kingdom in his early years and made great contributions. After the new king succeeded to the throne,
The status is also transcendent.
However, Zheng Zhen's attitude seemed a bit bad. It was not that he was arrogant because of his merits. This time, the King of Yue mobilized elite troops to show off his power. He did not support it. He was a great country of Yue. For the sake of small profits, he gathered troops to intimidate others. Zheng Zhen
He was very dissatisfied, but King Yue insisted on his own, so he could only give up. Now that he had never thought of such a big thing, Zheng Zhen was of course dissatisfied. Several of the soldiers who died in battle were his old brothers, and there were many military horses.
He worked hard to practice, but now he said it was gone, so why didn't Zheng Zhen feel unhappy?
Mo Zhengyong looked worried. He had heard the news from the palace before he entered the palace. Who would have thought that these rumors were so true? After all, he would not believe others' words.
But can Mo Zhengyong remain indifferent to what the coach said?
The ministers in the hall all had their own thoughts. Li Hui, who was sitting in the silver hall, seemed restless and had no time to think about everyone's thoughts. However, after all, he was the lord of a country. No matter how anxious he was, he would not be with the ministers.
There was a mess in front of me.
Taking a deep breath, Li Hui calmed down and said lightly: "The wise people have no faith. First, I promised Dayue to be a country that will never conquer. Now I have no faith in saying that I will raid Mangjie and kill my border soldiers. It is really hateful.
!”
Li Hui showed a calm look, and made a fuss about the Ming Dynasty's betrayal, and then said lightly: "The Ming people are cunning, and everyone in the world knows it, but I, Dayue, are not easy to mess with. Now the Ming army is in the forefront.
, Can you all have a plan to resist the enemy?"
Li Hui asked, but the entire Yin'an Palace was filled with needles, silent.
In fact, Li Hui's words are quite appropriate. After all, they all hit the door, so it is appropriate to shout and scold a few words. But scolding is one thing, and it is another thing to really seek to resist the enemy. Now the elites in the northern part of the Great Yue Kingdom are all lost.
, Why should we resist the enemy? At this time, it is definitely not a time when we speak nonsense, and everyone is cautiously silent.
Li Hui seemed a little angry, but felt helpless. He had no idea at all, so he could still expect others to have any ideas? But it was impossible to sit still. He had already reached his nose, even if Li Hui wanted to shrink his head.
It's impossible for a turtle to do it.
Thinking of this, Li Hui was furious and slapped the desk hard, shouting: "The Ming people bully the orphans too much, so I am willing to mobilize the army and horses to fight the Ming people in a decisive battle!"
One sentence is loud, but everyone knows that Li Hui's words have another meaning. Even the King of Yue has to fight in person. How can the subordinates remain indifferent? It would be too unkind if they don't express their opinions at this time.
"King..." At this time, Li Hui's father-in-law Mo Zhengyong had to stand up and said quickly: "You must not act rashly. A wise man is coming in a fierce manner. How can you be more powerful? The old minister thinks, this matter..." Mo Zhengyong was on the side
Speaking, while falling from the corner of his eyes on General Zheng Zhen, he immediately said, "This matter must be discussed for a long time. Even if the king personally seeks, it would be too risky. The country cannot be without a king for a day, and the king's daughter's body cannot be
It is easy to take risks. What's more, the king has thousands of soldiers, among which the great general Zheng Zhen made many military achievements when he was the former king and had the courage of ten thousand men. Before his death, he also had a lasting order and conquest.
The king can entrust General Zheng to the fullest. If the king insists on expeditioning in person, why would he let General Zheng be the commander and send troops on behalf of the king?”
Mo Zhengyong's words made Zheng Zhen, who was standing aside, stunned. This old fox actually pulled himself into the water. He had been through a long battle formation and had nothing to fear. However, judging from the information we have obtained now, the Ming Dynasty's
The army is at least 100,000, and there are still many reinforcements behind it. Now the elites in the capital of Yue Kingdom are all lost. He cannot let him take more than 10,000 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people to fight with the Ming army. Isn’t this a death sentence?
?
Zheng Zhen was also a colleague of Mo Zhengyong and knew each other. At this time, Zheng Zhen felt that Mo Zhengyong was not really trying to lead the troops, but wanted to force himself to express his opinion through these words.
Zheng Zhen hurriedly said, "The old minister is honored to fight on behalf of the king, but..." He glared at Mo Zhengyong fiercely, and then said, "It's just that the enemy is strong and I'm weak. The old minister is not willing to die, but once the war is defeated, the capital will be
Who is defending? According to the old ministers, the Ming army is coming in a fierce manner. Our country of Great Yue does not have to fight against them head-on. Why not gather the military forces in the capital and gather in Tokyo, relying on the defense of Tokyo City to delay time and then
The king issued an edict, ordering all localities to send troops to serve the king. In this way, no matter how many people the Ming army is, what can we do?"
Zheng Zhen is worthy of being a veteran. He hit the nail on the head, and the enemy is powerful and it is impossible to fight head-on. There is either no way, or concentrate all the forces in Tokyo and implement a strong wall and clear the world. As for the army of various corps to support the king, this is just
The main military force of the Great Yue Kingdom is on the border between Tokyo and Nanzhang Kingdom. The military and horses of the Nanzhang Kingdom cannot be easily mobilized. Whenever there is any movement, the Nanzhang Kingdom will inevitably have the opportunity to take advantage of it. As for the elite military and horses in the capital, they can only be
He hugged and used the help of Tokyo City to hold on to the four sides, although Zheng Zhen did not deliberately put forward the four words "Strengthen the walls and clear the field", the meaning was very clear. Apart from concentrating his military forces to defend Tokyo and strengthen the walls and clear the field, it would be difficult to confront the Ming army.
As soon as Zheng Zhen finished speaking, everyone could not help but nod. In this situation, Zheng Zhen's method was the most appropriate. He did not take risks, but also consumed the Ming army. After all, the Ming Dynasty was in a huge amount of money. As long as it delayed time, he would strengthen the wall and clear the field.
Sooner or later, the Ming army will withdraw its troops like the war decades ago.
For a moment, the civil and military officials in the palace stood up to support Zheng Zhen's opinion, and there were also a few who opposed it. They shouted passionately that the Ming people were not scary. As long as the Yue people were united and fought with it, the Yue army would win, but these
Everyone just thinks of jokes, and no one takes it seriously.
Li Hui couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then said to Zheng Zhen: "If I ordered the General to lead the war, how would the General resist the enemy?"
Zheng Zhen said without hesitation: "The old minister will draw all the troops near Tokyo and order nearby officials to transport money and grain to Tokyo immediately. All those who cannot be transported into Tokyo will be burned. The crops in the fields will be removed. In this way,
Although the Ming army was numerous, there was no place to stand in the Great Yue Kingdom. If they could not win within a month, they would inevitably have enough food and grass to retreat naturally. The old minister led another army and horse to go out of the city to pursue it, and they would definitely win a great victory."
"Okay!" Li Hui looked happy and slapped the table, saying, "General Zheng's words are indeed worthy of being a plan for the country. I coincide with General Zheng, and I think this plan is very good."
After saying that, he issued an edict, ordering Zheng Zhen to lead the defense, and the Vietnamese troops inside and outside Tokyo all listened to Zheng Zhen's orders.
Zheng Zhen did not dare to neglect it either. Of course he knew that the Ming army was not far from Tokyo, and it would not be delayed for a moment. Otherwise, when the Ming army arrived, it would be empty talk, so he immediately ordered people to raise food and grass to transport it into Tokyo.
, and fearing that there was not enough time, he ordered people to burn the nearby official warehouse and send troops to mobilize the houses, pull out rice seedlings, and slaughter the plowing ox. Zheng Zhen was decisive in doing things. In fact, he would not be able to do it even if he didn't want to be decisive, because
Information obtained from all sides and information from scouts, the Ming army established a large number of camps in Mangjie, which could be used to camp for tens of thousands of troops. The Ming army under the banner was the banner of General Wu, the general of the East.
There are actually quite a few generals in the Ming Dynasty, with only empty titles, and there are not many generals with Wu surnamed Wu. What does this mean? This means that the so-called "General of the Eastern Expedition" brought tens of thousands of Ming troops this time.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was just a small role, and such people were a lot of people. It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty court to allow such unknown soldiers to lead the troops. The only possibility is that the so-called General Wu of the East was just a vanguard general, with this
Tens of thousands of troops cleared obstacles for subsequent military and horses.
Zheng Zhen couldn't help but gasp. If there were tens of thousands of vanguard troops, then how much force would the Ming Dynasty dispatched this time?
Only God knows!
Things were getting more and more urgent, so Zheng Zhen simply stopped transporting food and grass, for fear that the Ming army would suddenly go south and make the food and grass cheaper for nothing, so the Ming army issued a military order, ordering officials from all over the country to immediately start burning food and destroying the planted fields.
For a moment, the entire northern Annan was full of destruction. The ordinary Yue merchants and people, seeing the government like this, were scared and scared to hear countless rumors, and moved south one after another, and even many officials were
, and they all hang the seals away.
Zheng Zhen did not stop the people who moved south. His strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the country was successful at present, because according to the scout's return, the Ming army seemed to have noticed the intention of the Vietnamese army, but obviously did not take any action.
It seems that I have some concerns, or I am waiting for more food and grass to be transported from Guangxi and other places.
