Chongzhen Chat Group

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he naturally knew what was going on.

If the other vassal kings still feel nothing when King Tang is enfeoffed, then when King Fu is enfeoffed, some people will feel the movements of the court. Now that King Yi has also been enfeoffed, these three vassal kings are still promoting it everywhere, poaching people, poaching people, and poaching people again. The business of this vassal state was obviously booming.

How could the other vassal kings still sit still after hearing this!

Regarding their situation in the country, they were like pigs penned in a palace. Except for eating, drinking and having fun in the "pig pen", they had nothing to do with them. This is like a person who has never eaten meat in his life. Even if he wants to eat it very much, if he is allowed to eat pork every day from a certain day without changing, he will be bored to death after eating too much.

Now that these vassal kings saw the situation of the three vassal kings who had been enfeoffed, they naturally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to come and chat with the emperor!

If at the beginning, the enfeoffment of vassal kings was still a buyer's market, Emperor Chongzhen had to choose an ambitious person, and also gave various conditions to coerce and induce the vassal kings to enfeoff; but now, it is a seller's market, and Emperor Chongzhen cannot Go to find the feudal kings, and these feudal kings are rushing to come.

In this case, let them hang out for a while. Those who should accompany the imperial concubine back to Yangzhou for a visit should still go back to Yangzhou for a visit.

But even though he thought so, Emperor Chongzhen still gave instructions for the vassal kings from all over the country to gather in the capital and prepare to hold a clan meeting so that everyone could talk about the future.

Not long after, the King of Tang reported through the chat group that his general Fu Yuman took advantage of the victory to counterattack, followed the defeated troops into the Bengal Province, and captured the provincial capital of Dhaka in one fell swoop. However, due to troop problems, he could no longer expand. The King of Tang wanted to borrow troops from the imperial court, so he used the Yunnan chieftain army that had been assembled in Mubangna to go to Dhaka to support him.

Of course, the King of Tang had dealt with Emperor Chongzhen many times and knew Emperor Chongzhen well. Therefore, he took the initiative to ask for the cost of borrowing troops. For example, the army's food and grass supplies were naturally supplied by the Tang State. He used money to buy prisoners of war captured by the army. Of course, he would not do business at a loss. He planned to take those prisoners of war to mine and sell the mines to Daming, so he would be able to pay for them. In addition, he would also pay additional money for how many days the Ming army fought for the Tang state.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen admired King Tang's self-knowledge very much, and publicly praised King Tang among the vassal kings. This made King Fu and King Yi suddenly realize that there was such an operation after they understood the content of the transaction? They have also been worried that the imperial army would withdraw after the founding of the country, just like the Tang Dynasty. Now it seems that in case of war, you can borrow troops from the court at any time, as long as you can pay a fee that satisfies the emperor.

Meanwhile, in Mughal Delhi, Shah Jahan was inspecting the construction of his palace. It must be said that the officials who supervised the construction were very conscientious and the palace was beautifully built, something that none of the previous generations of Khans had ever owned, which made him very satisfied.

"Only such a majestic palace can be worthy of the most wise Khan in the world!"

"Our Mughal Empire, under the leadership of the Great Khan, has conquered all sides. If the enemy chiefs come to pay tribute in the future, this palace alone will shock them!"

"Yes, the King of Persia will come to this palace sooner or later to surrender to the Khan!"

"Also, any Tang king from the Ming Dynasty would kneel here!"

"What does the King of Tang mean? The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have to come here to kneel and beg to be sweated!"

"..."

Listening to the compliments of the ministers behind him, Shah Jahan was suddenly dissatisfied with the palace. He felt that it was not majestic enough to express his status. So, he looked at it for a while, then waved his hand and said: "The palace gate is too small. If it is demolished and rebuilt, it will be at least twice as big as this!"

"Yes, yes, the Great Khan's palace, this gate is too small and must be rebuilt!"

"The palace must be higher, and the Great Khan's throne must be high up, so that everyone can look up to it!"

"..."

No one dared to go against Shah Jahan's wishes. Those ministers immediately changed their tune and put forward various opinions, which made Shah Jahan nod repeatedly.

At this moment, one of the generals guarding the palace came in in panic, making a lot of noise and attracting everyone's attention.

When Shah Jahan saw him like that, he couldn't help but frown. He felt that something had disappointed him. Could it be that the army had not fought against Persia this time?

"Great Khan, Samit's army was completely wiped out. The Ming army counterattacked and captured Dhaka, the capital of Bengal Province..."

Before the general finished speaking, a group of ministers expressed surprise and disbelief.

"How is that possible? How much time has passed and Ava hasn't even arrived!"

"Yes, lying about military information is a serious crime!"

"Isn't the Ming army on Dongwu's side just a partial force of the Ming Dynasty? In their own place, the chieftains rebelled and became a mess. How can they counterattack and capture the capital of Bengal?"

"..."

Of course, there are also a few civil servants who have different opinions from them.

"Look, I already said that the Ming Dynasty is not something to be trifled with. Is that okay now?"

"The power of the Ming Kingdom is comparable to that of the tribes here. I knew something like this would happen. It's a pity that those generals insist on thinking that the Ming Kingdom can be bullied!"

"..."

Shah Jahan was already in a bad mood when he heard the news. Now he heard the noise among his ministers, and he immediately became angry. With a sullen face, he shouted loudly: "Shut up, Khan!"

In Lei Lei's rage, all the ministers immediately shut up and did not dare to say anything more.

With a cold face, Shah Jahan glanced at his ministers, like a poisonous snake that bites anyone who doesn't like him. Finally, his eyes stopped at the general who reported the report, and he shouted in a cold voice: "The specific situation of the battle is How's it going? Don't tell any lies, tell the truth!"

"Back in the Great Khan, Samit and his troops were ambushed by the Ming army as soon as they entered the border of Dongwu. In a large canyon, almost the entire army was wiped out. Then the Ming army took the opportunity to follow the defeated generals and invaded Bangladesh. Dhaka News After hearing the news, we immediately closed the city gate to prepare for battle. Unexpectedly, some of the defeated soldiers who entered before were among the Dongwu people. We took advantage of the night to seize the city gate and let the Ming army in. Just like that, Dhaka fell!"

The general who reported the report hesitated for a moment, and finally continued to report: "According to the defeated soldiers who escaped, the Ming army was extremely brave and invincible, and their firearms were even more powerful. They could be fired directly without igniting them, as if they were on fire. It’s like being possessed by a god. The Ming Army… the Ming Army is still very powerful.”

Hearing this, the minister who had been in charge of the battle finally couldn't bear it anymore. If he continued to say this, he would be held accountable later, so he quickly said: "Fart, the country of Ming Dynasty is in chaos, and chieftains are rebelling everywhere. If Dongwu really wants to have such an elite army, why not transfer it back to suppress the rebellion?"

"That's right. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not mentally ill. Can't you tell what is important at home and abroad? Why don't you send elites to Dongwu?"

"Doesn't it mean that the Jianzhou Jurchens in the north of the country are also rebelling? They have conquered a large area of ​​the Ming Dynasty and directly threaten the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty stupid? If there are elites, they will definitely be transferred back to protect themselves! "

"..."

Shah Jahan also nodded. He was also very cautious before sending troops. Therefore, he specially sent people to investigate the situation, and just as King Talong said, he agreed to send troops and take advantage of the opportunity to capture Dongwu. At that time, I remembered clearly that the Ming Dynasty was indeed in chaos!

Thinking of this, Shah Jahan became a little angry and immediately shouted: "But the Governor of Bengal lied about military information in order to escape responsibility?"

"This..." The general who reported the report was a little confused and quickly replied, "Great Khan, I heard that those things are all in the past. And the latest situation is spreading, indicating that the Jianzhou Jurchen rebellion in the north of the country, It had been wiped out by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The rebellion of the chieftains in Yunnan was also caused by the Ming Dynasty deliberately testing the loyalty of the chieftains. They first secretly mobilized troops and horses, and after seeing that all the rebellious chieftains rebelled, they immediately suppressed them with thunderous force. They all suppressed it!”

"What? There is such a thing?" Shah Jahan was shocked when he heard this, and he still didn't believe it in his heart.

Most of his ministers didn't believe it when they heard it. However, those ministers who had not wanted to fight before became very sensible at this time and stood up and said: "If the Ming Dynasty was not strong, how could it always occupy such a prosperous place? I heard that their place is like heaven and earth, with many people and money. There are many, and it is very prosperous. Look, if you have money and people, why should you be afraid of rebellion? As long as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty becomes serious, he will naturally be able to quell the chaos easily!"

"Yes, we are too far away from the Ming Dynasty, so it is inconvenient to transmit news. The news we heard before must have been from the time when the rebellion just started."

"..."

If this situation continues, the previous militant faction will definitely be held accountable, so they began to use different methods to argue.

"So what if the Ming Dynasty is strong? Dongwu is closer to our Mughal Empire. Are we, the Mughal Empire, still afraid of the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, we have a wise and powerful Khan, so what does the Emperor of Ming mean?"

"The Ming army dared to capture the province of Bengal. This is an offense to the majesty of the Great Khan. We must not let them go!"

"..."

Shah Jahan's face was gloomy and he never spoke again. For a while, his ministers couldn't understand his thoughts. Slowly and finally, his voice became softer and he didn't dare to say anything anymore.

It was only then that Shah Jahan asked in a cold voice: "Where is King Talong?"

"We were trapped in an ambush by the Ming army. We don't know whether we will live or die!" the general reported.

After hearing this, Shah Jahan asked again: "What is the current movement of the Ming army?"

"Stay in Dhaka, no further action is expected!"

"Sent people to negotiate with the Ming army, saying that I was deceived by King Talon and offended the Ming Dynasty. I am willing to apologize to the Ming Dynasty and hope that the Ming army can withdraw from Bengal so as not to damage the harmony between the two countries." Shah Jahan was carefully saying After thinking for a while, he said, "If the Ming army does not agree, then I will personally conquer Dhaka and capture Ava!"

Although he said harsh words later, all his ministers were surprised when he took the initiative to show weakness to Ming Guo. You know, the Mughal Empire was at its peak, and the Great Khan was very proud. How could he surrender to the Ming Dynasty? This is not Shah Jahan's style. Is it really because the Ming Dynasty is too powerful?

Shah Jahan glanced at his ministers and naturally understood what they were thinking. He didn't care. He just shouted in a cold voice: "The princes who passed the decree to this Khan told them to fight decisively with Persia as soon as possible and return after taking Kandahar." division."

After hearing this, his ministers suddenly realized that Ganqing Khan had not surrendered at all, but was just a delaying tactic. Now the main army of the empire has been transferred to the north to compete with Persia for Kandahar. Since the Ming army is strong, it is really not appropriate to fight on both sides. It is estimated that when the army returns, it will be time for Shah Jahan to save face.

Thinking this way, they all felt relieved and began to praise Shah Jahan for his wise strategy.

However, they did not know that Bengal was the last place conquered by the Mughal Empire. They had been stunned by the Ming army's thunderous attack. They were afraid of the attack and had been waiting for news from Delhi.

Unexpectedly, Shah Jahan went to show weakness first, and Fu Yuman publicized it widely. Suddenly, all tribes in Bengal Province understood the power of the Ming Dynasty, and even Shah Jahan was afraid. As a result, people's hearts are in turmoil, and there are people with all kinds of thoughts. This situation reached its peak after the Yunnan chieftain's army arrived in Bangladesh. Of course, not yet, but the power of the Ming army spread as the defeated soldiers of the Mughal Empire dispersed.

Compared with the frustrating things that Shah Jahan encountered, Ruan Fuyuan and George, the defeated army, were miserable. It's not that Laos is difficult to deal with in front of them, but the Ming army is chasing them like brown sugar, leaving them no chance to take a good rest.

He fled from Thang Long Province to Laos and then fled all the way south. At the beginning, I thought that after getting rid of the Ming army, my future opponent would be Laos. And they found that Laos was simply vulnerable, which made them both ecstatic. If we had known this, we should have expanded westward and annexed Laos.

In fact, the descendants of Nguyen Phuc Yuen kept moving westward, encroaching and annexing the territories of Laos and Cambodia in the west. During this period of the seventeenth century, Laos was the Nanzhang Dynasty, while Cambodia was the Angkor Dynasty. The heyday of these two dynasties has passed. At the end of the dynasty, they had no fighting power and were bullied by their neighboring countries.

Now, Nanzhang has been almost destroyed by Ruan Fuyuan's army. Originally, his men and the Portuguese had grabbed enough gold, silver and jewelry and wanted to settle down. Unexpectedly, the Ming army caught up. Ruan Fuyuan and George did not want to run away, but wanted to fight. As long as you can win, you will at least have a piece of land to rest on.

However, their men didn't want to fight. First, I was afraid of being beaten by the Ming army before. When I faced the Ming army, I knew it would be a fierce battle. It would kill people, and no one wanted to die. Second, if there were too many things to grab, it would be even more difficult. People want to die; thirdly, they are used to bullying the weak, and they really don’t want to and don’t dare to fight tough battles anymore.

However, Ruan Fuyuan and George finally jumped into the territory of the Angkor Dynasty, and this trouble continued southward.

The Ming army who followed them also made a fortune. They pursued Ruan Fuyuan's remnant army, and of course they would not return the spoils captured to Nanzhang. In addition, because Ruan Fuyuan's remnant army committed all kinds of evil, burning, killing and looting as a comparison, the Ming army's garrison army only had normal military discipline and was greeted by the people of Nanzhang on their knees with gratitude.

I don’t know since when, people in Nanzhang began to make such remarks.

"The government only oppresses us people, but has no victory over the enemies who come in. What use do we need such a government?"

"The Ming Dynasty is a celestial kingdom with a powerful army. The people of the Ming Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment!"

"Annan has been entrusted by the Ming Dynasty King, and Dongwu has also entrusted the Ming Dynasty King. They all have a good life. We also want the Ming Dynasty King to be our king!"

"Yes, petition to the Ming army, petition to the Ming Emperor, and ask for the enfeoffment of the vassal king in Nanzhang!"

"..."

In the beginning, these voices were relatively weak because they were afraid of retaliation from the government. But several times, after the Ming army in Nanzhang made the decision for them, they became bolder. This statement was like a prairie fire, sweeping across the entire Nanzhang Dynasty.

For the common people, it doesn't matter who is their king, as long as they can live a better life. Their dissatisfaction with the Nanzhang government had already accumulated a lot. In the end, a series of events after Ruan Fuyuan and George's coalition invaded Nanzhang caused this pent-up dissatisfaction to burst out. Under the guidance of the secret Jin Yiwei, this huge request was made.

On the border between Nanzhang and the Angkor Dynasty, there was a Ming army stationed here. This was the rear army of the Ming army chasing the defeated army of Ruan Fuyuan and George. In one of the camps, Han Wu, a member of Qianhu Jinyiwei, had just finished listening to the reports of all his men. Then, he said with a smile: "Everyone has done a good job. This Nanzhang Dynasty is over. The people's petitions from the people of Nanzhang will be publicly delivered to the capital. If nothing else happens, we will have another vassal king in the Ming Dynasty. Separated."

Hearing this, all the imperial guards smiled happily. This is a great achievement of theirs. Of course, there is another reason why they are happy.

For the people of Nanzhang, the Ming vassal king was a treasure, and they looked forward to the Ming vassal king coming to replace the incompetent rulers of Nanzhang. But for the people of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal king was a disaster. Staying in the country will only take up a lot of grain fields, requiring the people and the court of the Ming Dynasty to feed them, and they don't have to do anything. If they can be sealed out, the people of the Ming Dynasty, including these Jin Yiwei, will actually be happy to see it.

Han Wu was also very happy. After his men relaxed for a while, his face became a little more serious and he continued to say to his men: "Tomorrow, we will enter Angkor. I believe that for the specific things to be done, we don't need to do this." Officials have said it. What you do in Nanzhang, you can do in Angkor. No matter what, we work together to make our Ming Dynasty one less vassal king."

"I obey my orders!" His subordinates all loudly accepted the orders with high morale.

Thanks to Tianling Tianqi for the reward!
