Not long ago, the nobles headed by Hami asked the Tibetan Emperor to grant them part of the land in Burang and Yaze as territory. The emperor had no choice but to negotiate with the local nobles of Burang and Yaze on the matter. Thinking about those nobles, who do not regard the land as their lifeblood, how can they be willing to give up the land to others now? At that time, there was a quarrel in the palace hall. The emperor came to Yaze in trouble and needed the support of the local nobles. Seeing that the local nobles reacted so strongly, he dared not continue talking, so he immediately comforted him with words and said that since everyone was unwilling, let the matter drop.
Unexpectedly, when one end was pressed down, the other end jumped up again. The nobles headed by Hami refused to do it and came to put pressure on the emperor again. The emperor could not persuade them no matter how hard he tried, and the nobles left angrily. The emperor thought that the matter had been suppressed for the time being, but he did not expect that on the same day, news came out that the nobles led an attack on the mansion of a local noble, resulting in many casualties. The emperor was frightened and hurriedly led his troops to the scene, and finally managed to persuade the two sides who were fighting. However, the hatred between the two sides has not been resolved at all.
Faced with the confrontation between the two nobles, the emperor didn't know what to do. He just felt that if he helped one side, he would offend the other side, and if he helped the other side, he would offend this side. It was really a dilemma! I feel like the emperor has become a rat in the bellows, suffering from both sides! The emperor sighed, feeling that he was really a coward as an emperor!
The queen walked in and saw the emperor's depressed and depressed look. She walked forward and asked with some worry: "Your Majesty, are you worried about the affairs of the nobles on both sides again?"
The emperor couldn't help but cursed: "Are they still considered the subjects of Tubo? Now when the country is in crisis, they are still fighting for power! I really can't wait, I can't wait..." The emperor's eyes showed strong murderous intent. The queen hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down! We must rely on them for the revival of Tubo, and we must not offend them!"
The emperor was discouraged, like a deflated rubber ball, and said gloomily: "But now they are fighting so hard that they are all red-eyed. I am only worried that they will cause a big trouble sooner or later. How can I rely on them?"
The queen said: "What they are fighting for is nothing more than profit. How about your majesty temporarily taking out some of the gold, silver and jewels stored in the palace and giving them to the nobles? It will surely appease them."
The emperor felt very painful, but at present, there seemed to be no better way, so he reluctantly said: "Now, this is the best we can do now!" Then he called Gan Luo and asked him to leave the palace. Withdraw half of the reserve and give it to the nobles. Gan Luo followed the order and left. The emperor felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut off from his chest. It hurt so much that he went crazy and wanted to kill someone to vent his anger.
Gan Luo was ordered to withdraw half of the reserves from the palace's inventory and reward them to the nobles on behalf of the emperor. The turbulent emotions of the logical nobles were temporarily appeased, and the dispute between the nobles on both sides came to an end for the time being. Elder Hami led the nobles to the palace to thank the emperor. The emperor looked at the people in front of him, and an impulse kept surging in his heart: 'Kill them! Kill them! 'The emperor really wants to kill these bastards! However, this kind of thought could only be thought in his heart, but the emperor had to pretend to be pleasant and cheerful. A feeling suddenly arose in the emperor's heart, and he felt that the Ming Emperor's persecution of the nobles might be the right thing to do! What are these nobles for?
The matter of the nobles was temporarily settled, and the emperor concentrated his energy on the major events in front of him, hoping that the envoy from Tianzhu would come back soon with good news.
What the Tubo Emperor didn't know was that at this moment, Tianzhu's envoy had already arrived.
"The envoy from Tianzhu is here to envoy to the Ming Dynasty on the order of His Majesty the Emperor of our country. I wish His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty a long life!" The envoy from Tianzhu stood in front of the main hall and bowed. This Tianzhu envoy is a young man in his thirties, tall and handsome. Although Yang Peng has always thought that Indians are dirty and undesirable, he has to admit that the Indian in front of him is a very handsome man.
"What's your name?" Yang Peng couldn't help but ask.
The envoy from Tianzhu said: "My name is Bolede."
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Ballard, you speak Chinese very well. Where did you learn it?"
Ballard said: "I followed my father to do business in the Song Dynasty for a long time, and it was at that time that I learned the Song Dynasty dialect."
Yang Peng secretly thought: 'It turns out he is a China hand. ’ He smiled slightly and said, “Let’s stop talking nonsense and explain our purpose.”
Bolede said: "Tubo has always been a Buddhist country, and our great Tianzhu is the hometown of Buddha, so Tubo should be our inherent territory of great India! I am here to urge the Ming Emperor on behalf of my Majesty the Great Indian Emperor. Your Majesty will return Tibet to our country! In this way, we can live in peace!"
As soon as these words came out, it was nothing, but others were furious. Yang Gui shouted: "How dare the barbarians threaten us!"
Bolede said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "This envoy is just explaining a situation, not threatening the Ming Dynasty." He raised his head and glanced at Yang Peng, who was sitting at the top, and said loudly: "Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty may not know something. Our Great Tubo is not only vast in territory, but also It has the largest and most powerful army in the world! It is divided into five divisions: East, West, South, North and Central. Each of the four divisions has nearly 500,000 troops, and the central part has millions of troops! Although your country had some advantages before, it was just Because our Great Tianzhu didn’t take it seriously! Your country can imagine that if our Great Tianzhu gathered two infantry and horses and millions of people, I’m afraid your country would not be able to resist it!”
It was the first time that everyone heard about Tianzhu's specific situation. They didn't expect that there would be such a huge force, and they couldn't help but be a little shocked. Yang Peng was even more surprised: Was Tianzhu so powerful at this time in history? It seems that Tianzhu in this era is just an Islamic country enslaved by the Turks, right?
When Ballard saw that Yang Peng and others were silent, he thought they were scared. His face became even more proud, and he loudly said: "Our country in Tianzhu is the most powerful country in the world, and we are the people of God! We do not want to start a war. But if someone dares to offend us, they will be punished as cruelly as the end of the world! It will be too late to regret it by then!"
Yang Gui and others were furious and just wanted to kill this arrogant bastard. However, as generals in negotiations between countries, they could not be rash and had to endure it.
Yang Peng burst out laughing, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke. When Ballard saw this, he frowned and asked: "Why are you laughing, Your Majesty? Do you think what I said is false? Our Great Tianzhu belongs to the gods..."
Yang Peng said angrily: "Don't always talk nonsense! You talk so much nonsense, just because you want to say that our Ming Dynasty will either agree to give Tibetan hands to us, or you Tianzhu people will come and snatch it away!" Ballard did not say anything. It's the default.
Yang Peng stood up, walked up to Ballard, and looked directly into his eyes. Ballard also looked directly into Yang Peng's eyes, only to see a strong sense of ridicule in his eyes, and he couldn't help but frown.
Yang Peng said: "You Tianzhu people have always been arrogant and self-righteous, and it will be the same a thousand years later! If you want Tubo, use your skills to seize it!" He smiled and said, "I would like to see what the people of this god have. How many kilograms and taels!" Ballard couldn't help but frown when he saw that Yang Peng's demeanor and tone were full of ridicule, and he didn't look intimidated by him at all.
Yang Guidao: "Previously, you had an army of nearly 600,000 from Tubo, combined with 400,000 from Bagan, and an army of nearly a million to attack Dali. Our army of only 200,000 horses defeated you and you fled in panic! If we come again, To fight, you'd better mobilize all the troops in the country to avoid being unconvinced if you lose!" Ballard's expression changed slightly.
Yang Peng said: "I have something to tell you Tianzhu. Tengchong Mansion and its surrounding lands have always been the inherent territory of our Central Plains Dynasty. You Tianzhu took advantage of the civil strife in Dali to take it away. Don't expect us to accept it! In the near future, My Ming army will definitely retake Tengchong Mansion!" He glanced at Boleder and said coldly: "If you Tianzhu people don't want corpses to litter the fields and rivers of blood to flow, then get out of here as soon as possible!"
Ballard changed his color and said: "You are threatening us!"
Yang Peng said: "This is not a threat, this is a fact! You Tianzhu people have only two ways, either go back to your hometown, or prepare for war!" He turned around and walked back up, sat down, and glanced at Boleder. , said: "Okay, you can get out!"
Ballard's expression changed several times, and he said angrily: "You will regret it!" He finished his words and walked away angrily.
Yang Gui couldn't help but cursed: "These barbarians don't know what to say! They actually came to ask us to give up Tubo!"
Yan Ji frowned and said to Yang Peng: "Husband, although you taught him a lesson, you should not be careless! I think that man is not just threatening with empty words, he must have something to rely on! If Tianzhu really has as many troops as he said, It’s not easy to deal with!”
Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "Don't worry! Even if a sheep has thousands of troops, how can it be the opponent of a tiger!" Yan Ji smiled and said: "My husband is so sure that all people in Tianzhu are sheep?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "People from Tianzhu can be the best politicians, the best scientists, and the best artists, but they can never be the best warriors! They have great ambitions but little talent, but they have high vision but low hand. It can be said that it is perfectly suitable to use it on them!" Yan Ji smiled and said, "Hearing what my husband said, I can't help but feel that the people of Tianzhu are not worth mentioning!" When Yang Peng saw Yan Ji's extremely charming appearance, he couldn't help but twitch his index finger. If Yang Gui hadn't been present, he would have He pulled Yan Ji into his arms and made love to her!
Yang Peng said with a smile: "It is said that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Although the Tianzhu people are not strong in fighting, we can't be too careless! If there are too many sheep, it will not be an easy task to catch them all!"
After having a conversation with Yang Peng, the envoy of Tianzhu, Bolede, was very angry. He just wanted to show his strength to the Ming Dynasty, which did not know the heights of the world. At this time, Ballard had completely forgotten the Tianzhu people's previous defeat in Dali, or even though he still remembered it, just as he said to Yang Peng, the battle in Dali was entirely due to the Tianzhu people's lack of intention and effort, so they were defeated. In his heart, as long as Tianzhu sends out his troops with all his strength, the Ming army will be wiped out in an instant!
Bolede hurriedly left Luoche and returned to Tianzhu.
Soon after, Bolede appeared in the Tianzhu Palace and reported Yang Peng's words to the Emperor of Tianzhu. Tianzhu's monarchs and ministers were all furious when they heard that Yang Peng didn't recognize Yang Peng's praise and even uttered threats. There was a roar in the hall. Tianzhu's generals and ministers were all clamoring to destroy Yan Yun!
Emperor Tianzhu raised his right hand, and the scene gradually became quiet. The Emperor of Tianzhu said angrily: "The Han people are too arrogant! They think they can defeat our big Tianzhu by taking advantage of a small advantage in Dali!" A general with a majestic physique and dark skin shouted: "Your Majesty, please let me succeed Cha Dili led an army to attack the Han people! Let them understand who are the people of the gods under the sky, who is the noble race, and who is the lowly species! As a lowly species, you should know yourself! If a lowly species dares to offend a noble race, then it offends the gods and must be punished with the harshest punishment!" The ministers and generals shouted one after another.
When the scene calmed down, a gentle minister said to the Emperor of Tianzhu: "Your Majesty, we should not change the original plan. I think we should stick to the original plan and capture places such as Budang Yaze and Kashmir first, and then deal with the Ming Dynasty. !" Maybe many people don't know that in ancient times, the Kashmir area that India and Pakistan now compete for was actually the territory of Tibet. It is very wise to throw away the Kashmir region. At least it does not need to be involved in the conflict between India and Pakistan. You can also stand aside and watch the show comfortably, and then say that this is 'Chinese wisdom'.
The minister continued: "Now that Tubo is very weak and there is internal hatred for each other, it is a great opportunity to deal with them in one fell swoop!"
The general said angrily: "The people of Ming Dynasty are clamoring at us like that, do we actually have to swallow our anger? Doesn't this make the people of Ming Dynasty even more arrogant? Where should the face of our people of the gods be put? We should immediately give the people of Ming Dynasty the harshest treatment Only by punishing us can we maintain our dignity!" Many people echoed his words.
The minister frowned and said: "National affairs should be based on interests. How can you be so vindictive with others?"
The general sneered and said: "To eliminate the main force of the Ming Dynasty in Dali, capture Dali, and then invade the east, isn't it to win benefits for the country and your majesty? This is the greatest benefit! Bujang, Yaze and Kashmir and the vast and rich east What does it matter in comparison?"
All the monarchs and ministers couldn't help but nod their heads. A minister looked greedy and said: "I heard that the land in the East is rich. Every house is filled with gold, silver and jewelry, silks and satins are everywhere, and the women are all delicate and beautiful. It is really a good place!" Others couldn't help but express their feelings. Out of yearning and greed.
The general continued: "As for the Tubo people, huh, they are just monkeys that are about to die. We can destroy them anytime, so why bother? Since the Ming Dynasty dared to clamor against our great Tianzhu, we took this opportunity to defeat them in one go. They! Firstly, they punished the stupid Han people, and secondly, they took away their rich land! Such a rich and beautiful place should belong to our people of the gods, but it was occupied by those stupid Han people, and it was simply defiled!" All the ministers and generals were stunned! He couldn't help but get excited, and his greedy shouts echoed in the hall.
Emperor Tianzhu stood up. The noisy hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the emperor. The emperor's eyes radiated with crazy and greedy light, and he said loudly: "The rich and beautiful East should belong to our great Tianzhu! Since those Han people are so rampant, we will take this opportunity to defeat them and seize the Central Plains!" When the ministers and generals heard this, At this, they all shouted excitedly. The military generals were impatient to go to the east to rob treasures and women, while the civil servants and nobles were impatient to carve up the land in the east.
The general bowed to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, please let me replace the Kshatriyas!" This general who always advocated war against the Ming Dynasty was named Purusha, and he was one of the four marshals of the Tianzhu Central Army.
The minister who had been refuting Purusha hurriedly said: "Kshatriya is the Grand Marshal of the East. He has made many military exploits and has experience in fighting against the Ming Dynasty. I think it is more appropriate for him to lead the army!" The minister's name was Ah. Jia'er is an interior minister of Tianzhu.
Purusha sneered: "The Kshatriyas led hundreds of thousands of troops against the Ming Dynasty, but they still couldn't achieve any decent results, and they were even taken advantage of by the Ming Dynasty! The Kshatriyas are useless. If you want to defeat the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, If you invade the east, you must replace him!"
Ajiaer said respectfully: "The performance of Marshal Kshatriya seems to be better than that of Your Excellency, right? In fact, we Tianzhu people all agree that Marshal Kshatriya is the most meritorious general in the empire. Your Excellency said The Kshatriya Marshal is useless, isn't that too rude?" Purusha sneered: "He can't defeat the Ming Dynasty, isn't it useless?" Agar said: "The Kshatriya Marshal and The people of Ming Dynasty are just in a tie, so no one can defeat the other. Do you actually think that our army was defeated in Dali?"
The nation of Tianzhu may be the most honorable nation in the world. Even if it suffers a tragic defeat, neither the king nor the people will admit it. Even if it becomes a colony of others, it can be said to be cooperating with the colonizers. Therefore, as soon as Ajiaer said these words, the monarchs and ministers in the hall showed displeasure, but Pulusha, who had always been aggressive, was speechless. Admit Ajiaer's words, he was unwilling to do so, and he was afraid of offending him. His Majesty was not happy, so he retorted. Wouldn't it mean that the Kshatriyas could still fight well, but he was not willing to do so.
Ajiaer said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, your Majesty knows the capabilities of the Kshatriya Grand Marshal best. Since we have united the Bagan army of 500,000 people and can only achieve such a result, I think we should not underestimate the Ming Dynasty too much! Maybe the fighting power of the Ming people is far beyond our imagination! Just look at their record of capturing Luosu and Pibo. With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they were able to capture Luosu so quickly, and then captured more than a dozen of us. An army of ten thousand and a Tibetan army of hundreds of thousands fought against Pibo City for many days without being able to defeat it, which shows their fighting power!"
The monarchs and ministers frowned and looked very unhappy, and they were very resistant to Ajia'er's words.
Ajia'er continued: "The fighting power of the Ming people is definitely far beyond imagination. You must be cautious when starting a war with them!" He bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I think we should stick to the original plan and not rashly fight with them. The Ming Dynasty goes to war!"
Loyalty has always been harsh on the ears, but Ajia'er's words were very harsh in the ears of the monarchs and ministers, and the monarchs and ministers were very unhappy. Purusha said angrily: "It's ridiculous! As the people of the gods, they are so timid towards those lower races! What do the Ming people mean! The reason why they were able to capture Luochang was entirely because they caught the Tubo people by surprise. The same situation applies to the capture of Pibo! They just used conspiracy and trickery to achieve victory. What kind of skill is that? If they had fought with real swords and guns, huh, their tens of thousands of horses would have been killed without leaving a trace! "Everyone agreed and tried their best to belittle the Ming Army, saying that the Ming Army was worthless and useless.
Seeing this situation, Ajia'er couldn't help but feel worried and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty..."
However, the emperor raised his hand to interrupt Ajia'er's words, and said angrily: "Stop talking!" Ajia'er's heart trembled. The emperor glanced at him displeasedly, and then raised his voice to everyone: "Purusha said it well! How can the inferior Ming people be the opponents of our people of the gods! The stupid Ming people dare to shout to us, we must Give me severe punishment!" Everyone was happy when they heard this, except Ajia'er who looked worried. However, under the current situation, he did not dare to say anything more.
The emperor paused and said: "The Kshatriyas will still serve as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition. At the same time, I will mobilize 500,000 central troops to support the Kshatriyas. This time, we will not only destroy the Ming army and capture Dali, but also invade the east in one fell swoop! The rich and beautiful eastern land will definitely belong to the people of the gods!" Everyone shouted excitedly. Above the main hall, it was like a pack of greedy jackals howling.
"Your Majesty, we can completely attack in an all-out way! While we are fighting in the east, we can order the Northern Army to counterattack northward, destroy the Ming army entrenched in Pibo and Luoche, and seize the entire Tubo in one fell swoop!" Purusha suggested.
The emperor thought that the troops under the command of Generalissimo Moise of the North were several times larger than the Ming army, and with the cooperation of the Tubo army, it would not be a problem to eliminate the Ming army in Tubo territory, so he nodded and said: "Okay! Send the order to Moise, Launch a fierce attack on the Ming army entrenched in Tubo as soon as possible, and be sure to completely destroy the Ming army and seize the entire Tubo before winter comes!"
One after another Tianzhu troops marched from the capital to the east. The whole capital was boiling. The people of Tianzhu packed the streets to see off their warriors. Everyone was eager for the good news of opening up new territories to come soon.
In the excitement of the whole city, there was one person watching all this with a worried face. This person was Ajia'er. He stood upstairs in his house, looking at the troops marching on the street and the cheering crowds, his brows furrowed and worried. The beautiful wife came over, looked at his expression, and asked puzzledly: "Sir, why don't you seem happy?"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
