Chapter 1937 Your uncle is your uncle!
"What, Lang Son fell? Zheng Zhi surrendered and became the leader party, leading the imperial army, and invaded the imperial army. It was less than fifty miles away from Shenglong Mansion?" In Shenglong Mansion, Zheng Zha, the head of the Zheng family, stood up suddenly. He was accustomed to seeing the world and had the cultivation of "Shan Tai collapsed in front of him and his appearance was still in motion". Now he was shocked to hear this news.
It’s not his fault that he was frightened and the road to Shenglong Mansion was not dangerous. The imperial army was able to fight soon. They received reports at noon, but they were afraid that the Chinese would arrive at Shenglong Mansion at night.
Why did the Chinese kill?
Fortunately, the news was still very smooth. I knew that it might be that the army was pursuing the Mo army and entering the Chinese border, and even their county magistrate was killed. Zheng Zuo's head was as big as a fight.
When the imperial army invaded, it is no longer necessary to say whether the incident is true, and it is useless to justify it.
If you want to be good about this, I am afraid it will not be easy!
Zheng Zhazhen settled down and made preparations. He sent the Grand Tutor Zhao Yupu of the current dynasty to take the army with a thousand taels of gold to the court, and apologized to the court, indicating that the perpetrators would be severely punished and asked the court's army to stop advancing, and the country was willing to negotiate.
On the other hand, he quickly summoned all ministers to discuss countermeasures in the future, and at the same time gathered troops to clear the fields outside the city.
Yuehou also fought old wars and reacted very quickly. Even if he was caught off guard by the Chinese, he would be as prepared as possible to deal with the challenge.
Let’s talk about the Annan Li Dynasty imitating the Central Plains official system, with six ministries managing political affairs, and then those with high moral character were regarded as the Taifu. They were a first-rank official, without real power, and highly respected.
The Grand Tutor Zhao Yupu is a Chinese fan and speaks Chinese very smoothly. Zheng Za sent him as the official envoy, and then Zheng An, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was appointed as the deputy envoy to negotiate with the Chinese, hoping to restore the unfavorable situation.
The two of them held the feud and boarded the carriage, while the other carriage carried a thousand taels of gold. They rushed to the road under the escort of a team of cavalry.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, they had already encountered the light cavalry of the imperial army!
So quickly, before dark, light cavalry could reach the city of Shenglongfu.
Seeing that it was an envoy, the light cavalry divided up some small troops and escorted them to the central army.
Along the way, there were large imperial troops, and there were flags and flags, and the troops were purged. They looked neat and were coming towards Shenglong Mansion.
It was already evening when we arrived at the Central Army. The Central Army was not in a hurry to rush forward, and set up camps and the camp tents were well-organized, and the military power was better than the Annan Army.
Zhao Yupu and Zheng An didn't care about resting, so they hurriedly asked to see the chief of the court.
They walked to the tent and saw two rows of heavy armored infantry equipped with iron plates, all of which were tall and strong men, covered in iron. "Ka, Ka, Ka..." The heavy and neat footsteps were very shocking. Zhao Yupu knew that this was a style, because the rest of the Ming army mostly wore Southeast Army training uniforms and light armor.
Even so, Zhao Yupu did not dare to underestimate the armored infantry, knowing that even the army could not find such a team. Compared with the Chinese, the Annan people were like children meeting adults.
The infantry stood on both sides with his chest raised, and an officer said, "Please ask the envoys of Annan Li Dynasty to come in and see the masters, and the rest will obey the orders outside."
Zhao Yupu and Zheng An calmed down and followed the officer in. They saw a civil servant with a tall figure sitting on it with a straight face. Zhao Yupu knew that he was a governor when he saw his clothes and was a little strange.
The generals are arranged on the left and right. There is a small pavilion behind the civil servants, with the character "Ling" in the middle, which is the king's order flag. For middle and low-level officials, they can be executed first and then reported.
According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, there is no need to bow unless you meet the royal family. Zhao Yupu and Zheng An both bowed and said, "Zhao Yupu (Zheng An), the envoy of the country, will pay homage to the Lord according to the will of the king."
The person above nodded and said, "I am the governor of Guangxi, Ming Dynasty, Yi Zhenji!"
"Hello, Lord Yi!" Zhao Yupu did not argue, held the above document in both hands and said, "The country is not virtuous, and the court's troops are overwhelmed by the city. The king of our country does not want to see the misfortune of life. He apologized to the court and presented a thousand taels of gold to the army..."
...Yi Zhenji got the letter and unfolded it quietly and read it first, then carefully put it back on the envelope, and ordered: "Six hundred miles in a hurry, and deliver it to the court in Nanjing."
"Get orders." Someone next to him replied.
Zhao Yupu knew it was broken as soon as he heard it. He couldn't deal with anything at once, and he had to send it to Nanjing for treatment! So he begged: "Please stop the army and make sure you have something to do. Please make sure you have any requests!"
After asking for it, Yi Zhenji just refused and said to Zhao Yupu: "Go back, Lord Zhao, you are a good person, but you are very serious and you can't speak out!"
Since it is not allowed, the 1,000 taels of gold will be confiscated and asked them to take it back.
The two envoys had to rush back overnight to report their orders. It was already midnight when they returned to Shenglong Mansion. The city did not open the door, so they hung them onto the top of the city with a big basket!
They got off the city and went to see Zheng Za. He was already waiting in the hall. After listening to their report, Zhao Yupu said: "The court refused to negotiate and was just going to march!"
Zheng Anze said: "The imperial court has a great ambition. If it resists, it will be killed. If it does not resist, it will not burn, kill, rob, and buy things and pay for money!"
Zheng Za asked the two ministers to rest in the palace, but he paced in the palace and thought.
Zheng Za was both angry and angry. He was angry at the ruthlessness of the Ming Dynasty. He never offered sacrifices every year, but the Ming Dynasty actually used a small matter to make a mistake.
Yes, the border residents of the court were robbed, the county magistrate was killed, and the court's face was damaged.
But Zheng's family repaid a hundred times the time they were willing to give 300,000 taels of silver as military expenses and 30,000 taels of gold as apology to the court. They have done their best, but the court's army still marched. I really think that Zheng's family is not good enough!
His heart moved!
Going war with the Ming Dynasty and repeating the old story of Li Dynasty driving the Ming Dynasty?
In 1428 AD, the third year of Xuande of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty. In this year, the Ming army withdrew from Annan and Li Zhi of Taizu Li Li became emperor.
The Ming army was beaten away by him, and it was the kingdom that Li Li shot with real swords and guns.
Yuehou is really not afraid of the Ming army on land. After all, in jungle places like Yue Kingdom, the Ming army may not have any good results.
In Zheng Za's view, if the war begins, even if the Ming Dynasty has good equipment, it may not be his opponent. After all, there are dense forests everywhere in the land of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty. If you want to win here, the Ming army will have to pay a great price.
The Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Di was so talented and magnificent that after conquering Yue Kingdom, he ruled Yue Kingdom for more than 20 years. Later, he retreated because he was trapped in endless wars.
Zheng Za believed that with the territory of Yue, he could block the Ming army. Even if the Ming Dynasty was unrighteous and wanted to attack, he would let the Ming Dynasty come. Zheng Za still felt a little confident in his heart.
He made up his mind to fight and urgently sent guards to invite his confidants to discuss the matter overnight, but he encountered objections.
