Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 708
In the main hall of the Hou Li Dynasty, Li Zhenzong sat on the throne, but he was expressionless, like a clay bodhisattva in a temple, sitting there motionless.

On the contrary, in front of him, the king of the Qing capital, Zheng Bing, turned his back to him and faced the officials below, speaking solemnly: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty led [-] troops to march towards our country. In addition, news came from the northern border, that The Ming army on the border is also gathering. What do you think should be done?"

After he finished speaking, the officials below kept quiet, and there was no more lively scene when he said that he would attack Nanruan.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Yi knew that they were all scared.

Not to mention that the country is so big, it has always been a great threat to them; just the experience of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in all these years of fighting north and south, and being invincible in all battles, is enough to scare them.Not to mention, the Ming emperor had just wiped out Dongwu.

In terms of land area, Dongwu is about the same as Annan. However, Dongwu is a complete country, while Annan is divided into two factions, the North and the South, and they are fighting each other fiercely.

Zheng Bing was very angry that the people below did not speak.Then he took a look at the confidant general who was in front of the military attache.

Therefore, this confidant general immediately stepped out of the queue and shouted loudly to other colleagues: "Are you still thinking that when the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty called, you would change dynasties and surrender to the Ming Dynasty and continue to be your officials? Haha, you won't I know that the rebellion mentioned by the Ming Emperor includes you. Do you think you can escape?"

After finishing shouting loudly, he turned around and played loudly to Zheng Bing: "My lord, the general thinks that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has won many battles, and he has the appearance of a proud soldier. In this battle, I, Dali, will definitely win!"

"How did you see it?" Zheng Bing was overjoyed and asked loudly.

In fact, what this confidant general said was taught by him.It is to tell other people through the mouths of the people below, don't be afraid, it is absolutely possible to beat them.

Otherwise, everyone will be frightened and have no morale at all, so what a fart!
He is also worried now, because he is afraid that when the emperor of the Ming Dynasty leads his troops to attack, he will only punish the leader and forgive the followers, or allow others to surrender.If this is really the case, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty came here with the power of destroying Dongwu. He estimated that before the emperor of the Ming Dynasty arrived, some of these courtiers would rebel and sell him.

Fortunately, judging from the current indications, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had no such intention at all, but explicitly stated that all officials in Annan were rebellious and would be suppressed.

Thinking of this, Zheng Bing felt that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really felt a little arrogant.Didn't he know that a proud soldier must be defeated?
In this battle, if he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he would definitely divide and disintegrate the enemy first, and after the overall situation is in control, he will deal with whoever is not pleasing to the eye!
Just as he was thinking, the confidant general had already replied loudly: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty insisted that he was good at fighting, and before the army came, he had already issued a decree. He also included the Ruan bandits in the south into the rebellion. This is tantamount to forcing all of us in Annan to the opposite side. This is his arrogant appearance, which completely violates the essentials of the art of war, which is to attack from a distance and attack by dividing."

Hearing this, many people in the hall nodded.

If the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom pardoned the Ruan bandits, and together with the Ruan bandits to attack their Da Li country from north to south, then the Da Li country would really have no chance of winning!

The emotions of the officials in the hall obviously rose a little, and they saw a slight possibility that they could win.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Bing winked at his confidant civil servant again.

Therefore, the civil official immediately came out and played loudly to Zheng Bing: "Your Majesty, I think that now that the country is facing a crisis, it is too difficult for me to deal with the imperial conquest of the Emperor of Ming with only the strength of our country. .And even if our Dali Kingdom can defeat the Ming army, our strength will definitely be greatly damaged. Let the Ruan bandits sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, it is better to pull the Ruan bandits together to fight against the Ming emperor."

For them, they always said that the Ruan clan in the south was a rebel, just like Emperor Chongzhen declared that the Annan side was a rebel and must be pacified. Their later Li Dynasty also always aimed to pacify the Nguyen bandits in the southern separatist regime.During this period of time, the army was still preparing for war, so they sent troops to wipe out the southern Ruan bandits.

Therefore, when he felt too much pressure this time, Zheng Bing had the intention of uniting with Ruan.However, he still didn't have the confidence to speak out by himself, so he used the mouth of his confidant civil servants to speak out in public to see the reactions of others.

At this moment, after Zheng Bing heard this, he didn't have any expression on his face, he just glanced at the other civil servants and generals below, and asked lightly: "What do you guys think, how about telling the truth?"

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are seconding the proposal!" Immediately, another civil servant came out and said, "It is an indisputable fact that the Ming Kingdom is strong. Since the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom does not care about destroying all of us in Annan together, it is better to unite together. Against the Ming Emperor."

"I second the proposal!" Another civil servant came forward and shouted loudly, "Letting the Ruan thieves also send troops to fight against the Ming Emperor will help weaken the Ruan thieves' strength. Even if His Majesty changes his strategy against the Ruan thieves after the war, it will not matter. As for Ruan Thief, he is too powerful!"

These two civil servants also got Zheng Bing's instruction in advance, otherwise, it would be difficult to do it alone, and the hall would be very ugly.

Of course the others knew who these civil servants belonged to Zheng Bing, and what they agreed was obviously what Zheng Bing himself meant.It can be seen that Zheng Bing was indeed afraid of the imperial conquest of the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had not clearly designated them all as rebels, and had no intention of accepting their surrender, many of them would really have the idea of ​​betraying Zheng Bing and continue to serve as officials in the Ming Dynasty .

However, this road cannot be taken. After they knew what Zheng Bing meant, they saw Zheng Bing's eyes sweeping over, and they expressed their opinions one after another.

"My lord, although the Ruan bandits are evil, it is our Li's internal affairs after all. The Ming country is a strong enemy. I believe that it is the best policy to unite and fight against each other."

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally marched, and our Dali Kingdom can't support it alone. The lower officials seconded the proposal, and we should unite all forces to resist the emperor of the Ming Kingdom!"

"..."

Among these statements, suddenly, one person's statement surprised him a bit.

"My lord, since Ruan Thief can unite, why don't you write a letter to Mo Thief to unite Mo Thief to fight against the Ming Emperor, so that we can have more strength."

For this proposal, Zheng Yi had never thought about it before.In fact, the most powerful Annan is now, is the Ruan family in the south. As for the Mo family in the north, he doesn't pay much attention to him at all.If he didn't want to solve the Ruan family in the south first, he felt that he could destroy the Mo family with his own army.

Zheng Bing could guess that it was all because of the pressure brought about by the emperor of Ming Dynasty's personal conquest that the civil servant made this proposal.Of course, it is also possible that this civil servant has connections with the Mo family, and wants to use this to speak for the Mo family and relieve the Mo family's crisis.

If it was in the past, Zheng Bing would definitely have to track down the details of this civil servant, but at this time, Zheng Bing thought about it, but felt that what he said made sense, anyway, if he could join forces with Ruan thief, then he would be no less than a Mo thief .

In the main hall, an agreement was quickly reached on this matter.No matter whether you are worried about your own lack of strength, or you don't want to let other rebels sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in short, under the current situation, you must pull other rebels into the water and unite to fight against the emperor's personal conquest.

As for whether to fight or make peace with the other rebels after the war, it depends on what Zheng Yi thinks when he looks back.

After the big idea was settled, the morale seemed to have risen, and the hall was no longer as lifeless as before, and there were obviously many more speakers.

A military commander came out and said: "Your Majesty, our Dali Kingdom is not Dongwu. Not only are we well equipped with fine soldiers and food, but also with the help of your Majesty, we are sure to defeat the emperor of the Ming Kingdom who is bound to be defeated by the arrogant soldiers!"

The suspicion of this flattery is very high. In addition, the general who came out to say good-bye was a bit truthful. I just heard him play: "The Ming Kingdom relies on artillery and firearms. My Dali Kingdom has Hongyi to help , in terms of artillery and firearms, it is also not weaker than the Ming Dynasty. This battle may not be invincible!"

Hearing these words, many people's spirits were immediately revived, and they echoed one after another.

"Yes, the most powerful cannons in the Ming Dynasty were all bought from Xiyi, and now we also have Hongyi cannons!"

"Can the artillery of the Ming army be accurate? Our artillery was fired by Hongyi himself. When the time comes, it will definitely blow the shit out of the Ming army!"

"..."

In the main hall, a group of people waited, and the more they talked, the more confident they became. They felt that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty's imperial conquest was no longer so invincible.

Sitting on the throne, Li Zhenzong looked at all this with a calm expression on his face, as if everything in front of him had nothing to do with him at all.

In fact, it seems to be true, he is just a clay bodhisattva that Zheng Bing put on the bright side.

Amidst these hot discussions, some civil servants also saw some hidden worries, so they also reported to Zheng Bing.

"Your Majesty, many unscrupulous people in the country believed the rumors of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, thinking that they could get land by following the example in Yunnan. We must be on guard against this matter!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, there are also rumors in the army that the emperor will treat them well. This matter must be cautious to prevent changes during the war."

"My lord, I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty used this strategy of rebellion when he was conquering the chieftains of Yunnan, which caused those chieftains' subordinates to rebel before the battle, and was easily defeated by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

"..."

Hearing these suggestions, in fact, Zheng Yi also received a similar report, and he was also very troubled, because the Ming Emperor's trick was not easy to break.

If there is no matter in Yunnan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would just talk in empty words, nothing more.The point is that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did this in Yunnan, and it is based on facts.

How can the so-called facts speak louder than words?
