Chapter 650: This King, Choose
There is no way to talk about this.
I originally thought that this old guy with white hair was shameless enough, but who would have thought that the young man next to me was even more shameless!
Originally it was where Tubo was? Why don’t you say that this place was originally the inherent territory of your Ming Dynasty, sacred and inviolable?
Barpukan really wants to cry.
I have thrown my face away and cooperate with you to come in to pick up your so-called "remnants of the previous dynasty" and allow you 100,000 cavalry to enter the territory of our Shan Kingdom. What about?
Then one of you wants to turn Manipur into your territory, but the other simply targets the Ershan Kingdom, who is his country? Make Ershan Kingdom your vassal state?
Perhaps, it is not just a vassal state?
Barpukan was both angry and nervous. He didn't know what to say, but Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Zhiji next to him changed the topic and started chatting.
Zhu Chunchen said: "Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the people of our Central Plains have been united, harmonious, friendly and patriotic. They have reproduced and survived for five thousand years before they have reached their current prosperous times, which is very difficult."
Zhang Zhiji sighed and said, "Who said it is not? He travels to the wild grass and travels to the mountains and forests to serve the emperor, but only the Tao Arc and Thorn Arc to share the affairs of the king.
If our ancestors had not been for the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty, how could we have come to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty? How could we have come to the feat of the emperor's aura of the eight deserts and sweep away the six kingdoms? Could it be that the land in our Central Plains was all given to us by foreign barbarians?"
After yelling, Zhu Chunchen said, "It's not clear. Our Central Plains and Heavenly Kingdoms all established the country with filial piety and governed all people with education and transformation, so that the four barbarians could be treated by the guests.
Perhaps, the barbarians were inspired by the teachings of the saints in the Central Plains, so they offered their land with both hands?"
Zhang Zhiji nodded and said, "Duke Cheng said, but I highly agree with another sentence that Your Majesty said."
Zhu Chunchen smiled and said, "Can you say anything else about your Majesty that you will die alone?"
Zhang Zhiji looked very stupid and naive, nodded and said, "No. When I followed the emperor to expedition Lin Dankhan to the remnant of the Golden Family, the emperor once said something.
The emperor said, I will conquer people with virtue in the Ming Dynasty, but when virtue cannot conquer people, I can also conquer people with fists and swords!"
Zhu Chunchen stroked his beard that was completely white, looking a bit fairy-like, and laughed: "What Your Majesty said is extremely. When virtue cannot convince people, he can only speak with a sword!"
After laughing, Zhu Chunchen said in surprise as if he had just discovered Balpukan who was still next to him: "Why is His Highness Balpukan still here? Isn't it said that there are important matters in the country?"
Barpukan's face looked ugly.
You two shamelessly sang and drank here, and could you think I am a fool? Even though I know that I can understand the Ming Dynasty’s official language, I still say so many scary things here!
Bah! Shameless!
After a hint of embarrassing but graceful smile appeared on his face, Barpukan bowed: "Xiao Wang still has some official duties to discuss with the ministers, come again tomorrow, come again tomorrow. Goodbye!"
After Barpkan and his entourage left, Zhang Zhiji said to Zhu Chunchen: "Can the words just now be useful? Can this fool understand?"
Zhu Chunchen smiled and said, "What we hinted just now is so clear. Can he still not understand Barpukan?"
After chuckling, Zhu Chunchen continued, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand. Do you know that I have issued a transfer order to Amin and Mangourtai long ago, and ordered him to move the main force of the army south to the south of Youwanhu, just north of him, Balpukan?"
Zhang Zhiji couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It's still the old man Chengguo... I'm planning to do the country! Since that's the case, why should we say so much nonsense to him just now? Just kill him directly.
If Amin and Mangourtai are allowed to advance troops south, will this Ershan Kingdom fall into the hands of our Ming Dynasty?"
After shaking his head gently, Zhu Chunchen said, "The so-called good warriors have no great achievements. If you and me can force them to surrender to Balpukan today, the Shan Kingdom will not fight and lose a lot of murder out of thin air, which can be regarded as your and my good deeds."
However, Zhang Zhiji didn't believe Zhu Chunchen's nonsense at all. When the Five Army Governor's Office was deducing, what kind of tricks did this old guy never use? He talked about Yinde at this time?
Let's fool the ghost!
But Zhang Zhiji was just a little while, but he couldn't figure out what Zhu Chunchen, the old villain, was thinking.
After considering it, Zhang Zhiji spoke: "Since that's the case, it's better to order Amin and the others to act like they go south, or cross the border into Ershan and march towards Manipur?"
Zhu Chunchen nodded, then turned his eyes to Lewen, who had been beside him, who had not spoken: "How is it? Arrange people to secretly cross the border of Ershan to contact the Lord Zhenglan Banner and the Lord of Inlaid Blue Banner?"
Le Wen was so impressed by Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Zhi that he saw what others said, and he would force the lord of a country to surrender in a few words!
Nodding, Le Wen bowed and replied: "I will live up to my mission!"
Zhu Chunchen nodded and smiled, "Then you'll have a hard time. You go and prepare the manpower first. After a letter from this supervisor, you can ask someone to go to Youwanhu with the letter and this supervisor token, and let Amin and Mangourtaiyi act."
Zhu Chunchen wrote his letters himself, and Zhang Zhiji began to arrange these 100,000 elite cavalry to build simple protective fortifications. If Barpukan didn't know what to do, there would be a fierce battle.
...
Barpukan, who hurried back to the Pisaga race, didn't know whether he should know more or not, or how he should know more or not.
As for not being aware of the situation, Barpukan never thought that it would be good if the entire Ershan Kingdom could gather 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers. It would be impossible to get together like the 100,000 soldiers like the 100,000 elite cavalry led by Zhu Chunchen and Zhang Zhiji.
Moreover, those scumbags and traitors in Manipur must be dedicated to the Ming Kingdom rather than themselves. They may also provide 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers to the Ming army.
Therefore, it is better to be more aware of yourself for safety reasons.
However, there are two ways to recognize the appearance.
One is like Siam and Burma before, who paid tribute, paid protection fees to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and then received recognition from the Ming Dynasty father.
The advantage of this method is that the degree of freedom in China is greater. Under normal circumstances, the Ming Dynasty will not interfere with these domestic affairs. Unless it is too much, there is basically no such thing as the Ming Dynasty father taking action directly.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
Since it is not the biological son of Daming's father, if something happens, such as when there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it is easy to be beaten to death by someone Daming's father, perhaps not yet received news, such as the previous Ryukyu.
Another type is like Myanmar today, directly attached to the Ming Dynasty father.
The advantages and disadvantages of this method are exactly the opposite of the first method.
The advantage is that it belongs to the Ming Dynasty, and the garrison and government officials are both from the Ming Dynasty. If there is anything, the Ming Dynasty will face it directly. Moreover, the people in the country will automatically obtain a certificate of identity for the Ming Dynasty, and their status will be infinitely higher among the orcs who were originally barbaric.
The disadvantage is that the king of real power can only die in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. This has been the case for generations, and there is no need to think about being a local emperor behind closed doors.
In addition, what the shameless Zhang Zhiji said just now is actually not wrong at all. Part of the land of Shan Kingdom is the original Tubo. Speaking of which, it has been one of the vassal states of the Central Celestial Empire since ancient times.
So the question is, how should I choose now?
Should we choose to become a vassal state or choose to be attached to it?
The ministers who summoned were basically like the clay Buddha, looking at the nose and the heart, without saying a word, as if they were looking down at the ants on the ground.
However, no matter how bad the royal palace is, it is still a royal palace. How can ants appear?
After looking at the ministers, Barpukan shouted in a angrily voice: "That's right! I'm asking you to come here to give me some advice! They are usually very good at speaking, but now they are mute?"
The angry Barpukan simply pointed to a minister who was in front: "Naranarayana, you are my uncle and the minister of the regent of my country. I want to hear your opinions now!"
Naranalayana bowed and said, "I am incompetent, so I will worry the king. Please forgive me for my sins."
Barpukan became even more angry: "I didn't ask you to apologize! I asked you to find a way to come up with ideas for me!"
Naranarayana still bent: "King, this kind of thing should be decided by the king's words. How can the ministers come up with advice?"
Seeing that Naranarayana kicked them back again, Balpkan's nose was almost angry: "Okay, then the king simply asked to be the idle prince for the rest of his life!
I just don’t know what kind of treatment will you, Uncle Wang, be the first ministers, be the ones you originally ministers? Should you be promoted to a higher position or be killed by a donkey?"
Naranarayana's face suddenly became ugly and used as a donkey to describe the minister's affairs, only Barpukan could do it!
Seeing that Naranarayana still didn't say anything, Barpukan continued: "Where are the others? No one has any objections? If not, I will choose to attach it!"
There was still silence, silent silence, and everyone seemed to have lost the function of speaking at the same time. No one spoke to agree, and no one spoke to object.
Barpukan was also a little desperate. It was probably the same as the feeling before Emperor Chongzhen hung on the old crooked tree in history. No one could count on it!
However, at the end of his life, Emperor Chongzhen chose to hang it on the crooked tree, while Balpukan simply chose to give up.
He laughed furiously, and Barpukan simply said, "Okay, since you disappointed me like this, I will follow your thoughts! I will follow your thoughts!"
Naranarayana finally couldn't help it, stood up and bowed, "The King thought three times!"
Barpukan was so angry that he sneered: "Why did Uncle Wang mean that I chose to become a foreign vassal like Siam?"
Naranarayana was choked again, what do you say about this uncle?
If you are interested in it, you will be passed on the throne from generation to generation, that is the benefit you get, at most you will lose your freedom.
As long as the Ming Dynasty wanted to manage this place well, it would have to rely on us civil and military ministers first. It would be no problem to be promoted to a higher position. This is the benefit we can get.
If you choose to become a foreign vassal, except for the fact that there is an extra mother-in-law in your head, what changes will happen to the rest? What changes will happen to us?
Do you want me, the uncle, to say directly, you should choose to be attached, so that you can be good, and I can be good to everyone?
However, before Balpukan could ask again, a servant rushed in outside, and did not care about any crime of rituals, and knelt down and said, "Report to the king, the northern border army urgently reported it!"
Upon hearing this, Barpkan collapsed on the chair.
Where is the north of Sabisaga, or the north of Ershan Kingdom? Barpukan still knew that it was the Uszang Xuanwei Department of the Ming Dynasty, with the territory of Wanhu.
The Wusizang side was really lively for a while before, and even Ershan was alarmed. If it weren't for the fear of provoking the Ming Dynasty's attack, Barpukan would have wanted to put troops on the northern border.
However, now there was a sudden emergency report from that direction. The only possibility was that the Ming army in that direction had any movement, and the border army might be unable to deal with it.
What is the current situation?
To the southeast of Assam is Manipur, where there are 100,000 elite cavalry from the Ming Dynasty, and a large number of so-called "remnants of the previous dynasty" are there;
The north is followed by the ten thousand households, and the border troops of the Ming Dynasty must have been dispatched, otherwise the border troops in the north would not have reported it urgently.
Only Assam, that is, Ershan, was trapped in the middle by these two armies, and was in a dilemma of life and death!
After calming down, Barpukan said, "Come on."
After receiving the urgent report from the waiter, Balpukan almost spurted out an old blood: "The Ming Dynasty was following the direction of Wanhu, and there were more than 15,000 elite cavalry, and asked to borrow a way to enter Manipur and join their army. I dare not be good at it, so I ask the king to decide!"
After handing the emergency report to the attendant, signaling the attendant to hand it over to Naranararayana, Barpukan seemed to have been evacuated all the strength on his body: "Forget it, forgot, I chose to be inclusive. It has not only fulfilled me, but also fulfilled me, but also the king and ministers."
After reading the urgent report, Naranarayana couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Balpakan's words. He immediately bowed and said, "The King is wise!"
The ministers of the Dorsal Shan State, who were behind Naranarayana, also bowed and said, "The king is wise!"
A sentence that I could hear almost every day was so harsh to Barpukan, which made Barpukan feel a urge to burst into tears.
