After Zhao Ming and Gu Yanwu had preliminary discussions, they immediately convened the cabinet to discuss the specific details.Soon, the cabinet came up with a plan, and the university scholar blocked Yinxi, went to Guanzhong to supervise the division, and summoned the generals Xie Qian, Chen Youlong, as well as Horqin, Chahar and other Mongolian departments, to prepare to launch a western expedition to recover the Western Regions.The military order was issued, and the Ming Dynasty immediately began to operate, and a large number of strategic materials turned northwest along the newly built official road.Zhou Guo stayed in the Ming Dynasty, and soon found out the news and passed it on to the Western Regions.The Ming army transported materials to the northwest on a large scale, but in fact, it was not a bluff, but a real transportation.Because the recovery of the Western Regions is also in Zhao Ming's five-year plan, the Ming army has indeed had the intention of recovering the Western Regions.While transporting supplies to the northwest, 10,000 elite Ming troops who had been trained for more than a year set out from Chengdu and marched to Wusizang.The Usizang Dusi has been subjugated to the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, but this surrender is only a superficial submission, and the Ming Dynasty did not station troops in Usizang.A few decades ago, after the Heshute Mongols invaded Usizang, Usizang completely lost contact with the Ming Dynasty.Previously, the living Buddhas of Wusizang first went to Beijing to worship the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then to worship Wu Sangui in Guanzhong, and now they are still in contact with the Zhou State, so Zhao Ming decided to send troops into Wusizang to force Wusizang to cut off contact with Wu Sangui.The Ming Dynasty went to the northwest, transferred military resources, and sent troops to Wusizang, and launched two actions against the Zhou State at the same time, which immediately confused the Zhou army and Donghu in the southwest.February, Kunming, Yunnan Province.A team of hundreds of guards came to the outside of the city with a carriage, and Yang Zhiwei, the governor of Yunnan in front of the city gate, led a group of officials to greet him.At this time, the team stopped, Chen Mingxia, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, raised the curtain down, and Yang Zhiwei said loudly: "Chen Shilang, you have worked hard all the way. ”Chen Mingxia arched his hand and smiled: "How dare you bother Zhongcheng to greet him in person." ”Yang Zhiwei turned sideways, "It's all for Da Ming, please!"
”When the next group of people cooperated, they went to the governor's yamen together.After everyone entered the office, they sat down in the lobby according to the official rank, without greetings or politeness, and went straight to the point.Chen Mingxia asked, "Yang Zhong has received a secret letter from the regent!"
”Yang Zhi bowed his head, "I received it, this official has already asked the prefectures to suspend road construction, and the border soldiers and horses and outposts have also retreated thirty miles!"
”Chen Mingxia nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Then did you get in touch with Donghu Kingdom?"
”"After a few twists and turns, I can be considered to have got in touch.The king of Donghu agreed to negotiate, but asked us to send an envoy there!
”Yang Zhiwei smiled.Chen Mingxia frowned and said: "According to the regent's plan, it is to make Donghu feel that our Ming Dynasty has learned that Donghu has a backer, and we hope that the big things will be turned into small things, and the small things will be turned into small things."
However, in order to avoid Donghu's suspicion, I still need to maintain the face of the kingdom tomorrow.Sending an envoy over is too embarrassing and may arouse the suspicion of King Donghu.The place of negotiation is still located at the border!
”Yang Zhi bowed his head, "I'll deal with this matter." ”Half a month later, the city of Ava in the country of Donghu.At the end of last year, after forming an alliance with the Zhou State and the British Kingdom, Donghu took the initiative to destroy the roads built by the Ming Dynasty on the border.After that, Bai Mang, the king of Donghu, thought that the Ming Dynasty would launch a counterattack, and set up an ambush in the border jungle on the one hand, and urged Zhou and England on the other hand, sending various weapons and strategic materials.King Donghu was ready to give the Ming army a head-on blow, and the Zhou State was also ready to join the war, but the Ming Dynasty did not fight back, but the army retreated, and the road was not repaired.This made the king of Donghu very puzzled, but soon after, Hosaku sent back the news that the Ming Dynasty had learned the news of the Triple Alliance and knew that it could not easily defeat Donghu, so it did not want to fight.King Donghu was a little suspicious of this, but then it was reported that the Ming Dynasty was going to use troops against the Western Regions and Wusizang, and the governor of Yunnan used various channels to convey the sincerity of peace to him, so that King Donghu was convinced that most of the Ming Dynasty really did not want to fight."
The king, Governor Yang has sent news that the negotiating envoy of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty has arrived in Kunming.However, the envoy was dissatisfied with the fact that he had come to our country to negotiate, and he was furious, and hoped that the king would take a step back and put the place of negotiation on the border. ”Chancellor Manggan laughed.Donghu Wang Bai Mang, hugged the beauty, held the wine glass, and let out a sneer, "Hmph!
How did the Ming Dynasty treat this king before?
The king sent envoys several times in the hope of peace talks, but they were all turned away and did not give the king a chance.Now, I found that this king had an alliance and could not defeat this king, and I was afraid that this king would attack Yunnan, so I asked this king to negotiate peace.Are they the king's men, a dog calling to and fro?
Donghu is not the dog of the Ming Dynasty, this time they are begging the king, if they want to talk, let them come to Ava to talk!
”Bai Mang's domineering side leaked, and finally came out with a vicious aura.Before, the Ming Dynasty built roads and increased troops at the border, which scared him so much that he didn't sleep well for a year, and now the Ming Dynasty wants to make big things small, small things, it's not that simple.Seeing Bai Mang's attitude, Manggan was slightly stunned, knowing that the king was still angry, but Donghu and Daming were against him, in fact, it didn't do much good, and if he really fought, he couldn't get cheap.Now that the Ming Dynasty is willing to talk, it is indeed an opportunity to resolve the crisis."
King, the kingdom of heaven, the good thing is a face.The king asked the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to come to Ava, didn't he slap the Ming in the face again?
”Manggan said in a deep voice.Bai Mang's anger did not subside, "This king just wants to embarrass them, who makes them embarrassed." ”Mangan sighed, "In this raid on Yunnan, the king killed a lot of Ming people.The Ming Dynasty suffered a loss in Yunnan, looking at the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, it is not to make things bigger, but the Celestial Empire has a good face, if we are not convinced, give the Ming Dynasty a step down, let them gain face, I am afraid that this matter will not be able to make a big deal small.Then the king had to prepare for a real war with the Ming Dynasty. ”Bai Mang heard this, frowned, put down the wine glass, and let the beauty in his arms go down first.Yes, the people of the Celestial Empire are good faces, this time they suffered a loss, if Donghu can be soft and give the Ming Dynasty a face, then the Ming Dynasty will be able to have a funeral, just get off the donkey, as if the previous thing had not happened.If Donghu does not give face to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will definitely continue to send troops to attack Donghu for the dignity of the big brother.Bai Mang had a gloomy face, "What about the war, Donghu has the support of the Great Zhou and the British Kingdom, and he may not be afraid of him." ”Bai Mang said in a sullen voice, but he was not as firm as before.Manggan knew that what Bai Mang said was just angry words, as the head of a country, he couldn't just act with joy and anger, he needed to consider all aspects.For Donghu, the best situation at the moment is to maintain the status quo, and if it really starts a war with the Ming Dynasty, it will not be beneficial to Donghu to win, lose or draw."
Great King, it is true that Donghu is in alliance with Zhou and England, but if they really fight, how much help they can give Donghu.Now that the Ming Dynasty has increased its troops in the northwest and wants to attack the Western Regions controlled by the Zhou State, the Zhou State will definitely take care of itself first and then help us.If we really start a war with the Ming Dynasty, even if we defeat the Ming army with the help of Zhou and Yingli and drive them out of Donghu, how much good will it do us if the war is fought in our Donghu?
”Mangan persuaded in a deep voice.Bai Mang was silent, the Triple Alliance was not long in coming, the two sides had not yet established trust, and Bai Mang didn't know how much help he could get.He groaned for a while, thinking that it would really be no good to fight, and finally compromised, "Okay!
Then give the Ming Dynasty a little face and negotiate at the border!
