One thousand two hundred and sixty-eight General Wu, it's up to you
When Wu Ting said the first sentence, everyone thought it was quite normal.
But the later it goes, the less politically correct the meaning in this sentence, and even the next few words are a bit too terrifying, so that everyone felt something was wrong as they listened to it, and their faces changed drastically, which was shocked.
"My husband! This..."
"Mr., what do you mean?"
"My husband, surrender to Ming Dynasty? What's the situation?"
"My husband, didn't you say you could not surrender to Ming Kingdom? Ming Kingdom didn't want us..."
Ma Yongkang raised his hand, interrupted everyone's speech, slowly stood up, sighed, and spoke slowly.
"I know that this statement is a bit sensational to you, but you, this method is the only way to save all of us at present."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Ma Yongkang slowly explained his opinion.
"At the end of the day, I realized that from the very beginning, it was a mistake for us to support the emperor against the Ming Kingdom. Sichuan and Shu were narrow and exhausted, and it was a dilemma. With the power of Ming Kingdom sweeping the world, there was no possibility of survival in Sichuan and Shu.
The reason why I supported the emperor with the reason why Mr. Wu supported me was because I was afraid of the Ming Dynasty's policies, and the second was that I still had the Song Dynasty in my heart, and I hoped that the Song Dynasty could continue to survive.
But over the past year, I have seen through it. The future of the world is from the Ming Kingdom, not from the Song Dynasty. How powerful is the emperor of the Ming Kingdom? Wave the hand to wipe out the world. What about the Song Dynasty? Who can compete with the Song Dynasty?
This is the overall situation. Judging from the current situation, there are seven armies in Sichuan and Sichuan that are enemies of us, four of which are more than 10,000 troops, and they may attack us at any time. What about Chengdu?
Even if we have fully expanded our army, we have less than 30,000 troops so far, and half of them are recruits. Do you think we can defeat those seven teams? If we just continue to let the situation develop, will we die without a burial place or be reborn? You might as well make a bold guess."
this……
What else can I guess?
If you continue like this, there is no second possibility except death or death.
Lu and others who were killed in their family will never let Zhao Buxi go, and they will also hate them who "help the evil" and will definitely let them die without a place to die.
On the day when Chengdu City was destroyed, it was the time when their entire clan was destroyed. He said so himself, so there was no doubt about this.
So everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.
Seeing that everyone bowed their heads and didn't say anything, Ma Yongkang sighed.
"So, since walking like this is a dead end, and we don't want to die just like this, then we can only choose another way to go. After thinking about it, I found that the only way to surrender to Ming Kingdom can be left to save our lives."
Everyone, look at me, I look at you.
An official couldn't help asking: "You said before that Ming Kingdom is dead and doesn't have money. He strongly opposed surrendering to Ming Kingdom, saying that surrendering to Ming Kingdom will definitely be liquidated, but why have you changed your mind now?"
"Because I haven't said before that we have a life support."
Ma Yongkang pointed his hand to the north and said, "The defense line in northern Sichuan is still in our hands, Wu Gong is still defending northern Sichuan. The defense line in northern Sichuan is as tight and solid as an iron barrel operated by Wu Xianggong, and various defense facilities are very complete.
Even the Ming army wanted to take over North Sichuan, it was not a simple matter. As long as they agreed to surrender and allowed us to retain our private property... there was no need to do too much, and we could maintain our wealthier life. We could hand over part of it in exchange for peace for our family.
You guys think that if this is used as an exchange and request for surrender, would the Ming Kingdom have a greater possibility of agreeing, or would the Ming Kingdom not agreeing? Or would the Ming Kingdom want to take down the difficult Shu Road without abolishing a soldier?"
Ma Yongkang curled the corners of his mouth, and the expression on his face was very confident.
After thinking for a while, everyone felt that what Ma Yongkang said made sense.
Isn’t Wu Lin’s biggest legacy, the Sichuan North Defense Line, the biggest reliance for them to bargain with the Ming Kingdom and have a great chance of survival?
With more than 20,000 elite troops defending the northern Sichuan defense line, and Wu Gong's persistence, even if the Ming army is extremely powerful, it is impossible to pass smoothly without paying a certain price.
Now, the Chengdu court held the bargaining chip that allowed the Ming army to pass through the northern Sichuan defense line without any injuries. With this bargaining chip, the Ming Kingdom was really likely to give up the complete liquidation of them in exchange for passing through the Shu Road without any injuries.
The Ming Dynasty's settlement and the holding of war criminals accountable was mainly for those who resisted to the end. If even those who surrendered voluntarily were resolved by the Ming Dynasty, it would be a bit too unreasonable for the Ming Dynasty to be.
"Since that's the case, can we..."
"stop."
Someone asked Ma Yongkang very excitedly, but was immediately interrupted by Ma Yongkang.
"Don't think too much. Living life is the most important thing. It is impossible to expect Mingguo to promise us too much. As long as Mingguo does not take any action, we will definitely die.
In fact, we are still absolutely weak. We are begging and begging for Ming Dynasty, not asking for others. We must lower our attitude and have no extravagant hopes."
Ma Yongkang's expression was very serious.
When everyone heard this, the excited expression on their faces was quickly lost.
They lowered their heads in a bad mood and said nothing.
But in the end, Ma Yongkang provided them with a way of living.
Compared to "died for the Song Dynasty" with Zhao Buxi, they wanted to live for themselves more. They no longer wanted to continue to fight for some possibility of serving the Song Dynasty. Everything over the past year proved that the Song Dynasty was a pool of mud that could not be helped.
Therefore, their choice was very clear and there was no wavering.
Then, they still have one last point that is difficult to solve.
Local officials in Chengdu City and many local forces outside Chengdu City.
Some of these forces are in their own way and there is no movement for the time being.
Some have already made certain contacts with seven external military forces, and some things are even in Chengdu. Everyone has their own ideas.
Would these people be willing to surrender to Ming Kingdom so simply?
In the final analysis, officials from other factions have not had the interests of Sichuan and Shu themselves. Although they had already purchased industries in Sichuan and Shu when they decided to rebel and basically gave up their hometowns, since they could give up their hometowns, it is not unacceptable to live in another place.
As long as people are still there, it is still very easy to live wherever they live.
The local officials sent by Sichuan and Shu are quite deeply rooted in the Sichuan and Shu area, and the family has reproduced and lived here for generations. The population mobility is much worse than that in other areas in the south of the Yangtze River. It is even more difficult to make them accept the Ming Dynasty's entry.
Moreover, they may have been more tired of the court dominated by foreigners, and the interests of both sides cannot be reached at all.
So Ma Yongkang's meaning is very clear.
Carry out mutiny and use force to gain a glimmer of hope for their future.
"At present, the only thing we can rely on is the money in the treasury and the army. Without these, we will be nothing. So if we want to survive, we must be decisive and not hesitate at all. You guys, do you understand what I mean?"
Of course, I understand, but I can’t understand any more.
A group of people nodded slowly with serious expressions.
Ma Yongkang then looked at Wu Ting.
"General Wu, it's up to you next."
Wu Ting nodded.
"This is something I've always wanted to do."
