In the ever-changing Shui Dynasty, news that shocked the court recently came.
That means the Ming Dynasty officially declared war on them,
In the Qianqing Palace,
The envoy of the Ming Dynasty bowed politely and said: "Dear Mr. Shui, there is an old Chinese saying that he who knows the current affairs is a hero. I, the Ming Dynasty, have always been tolerant towards my subjects. I hope you will not make mistakes and lead your subjects." surrender!"
"Pfft!"
Unable to help laughing, Emperor Shui immediately pointed down and said, "What a clown, how dare you bark at me like this!"
"Your Majesty, kill him!"
Looking at the Ming envoy angrily, the surrounding generals roared,
"It's useless even if you kill me. After all, the two armies are at war. Why don't you kill me?"
Talking and laughing, the Ming envoy had no fear at all.
Before he came, he had already received a reward. If he died, he would be buried well and his reward would be doubled!
If he can let his parents, wife and children live a life of masters, what does his life mean?
Seeing the lack of fear in the envoy's eyes, Emperor Shui couldn't help but said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"
"The Ming Dynasty has always treated its ministers well. I have already received the rewards I deserve before I came. Even if I die, it will only make the future of my children better. Why should I be afraid? Your Majesty!"
Looking at Emperor Shui, a look of disdain appeared in the envoy's eyes.
Threaten him with death? Could it be that the Shui Dynasty made a wrong decision!
"Let me tell you, Emperor Ming, the Shui clan is here. If he has the ability, he will come and get it!"
Looking at the envoy with a serious face, Emperor Shui immediately shouted angrily,
As the envoy bowed and left, the court was in chaos.
Many people suggested adding more troops to Jiangnan, because it had the largest border with the Ming Dynasty.
If Liu Biao, the Duke of Li, is unable to guard the country, the Shui Dynasty's tax revenue will suffer the greatest blow.
Hearing the noise of the courtiers below, the emperor also looked livid.
He did not expect that it was not the Northern Wei who took the lead, but the Ming Dynasty, which had only risen for two or three years, and opened its mouth to the Shui family.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Just as the ministers were discussing, a sharp shout sounded,
As the crowd leaned over, Lu Yan saw an old man with a stooped figure walking into the hall.
Seeing him, the emperor quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, why are you here?"
"The Southern Barbarians are here. As the Supreme Emperor, can't I come and take a look?"
Looking at the emperor, the Supreme Emperor exhaled and said: "Let King Beijing Shuirong do the matter of increasing the troops!"
Looking at his father, the emperor's expression couldn't help but change.
Because he didn't want the Beijing Palace to regain military power at all, but when the Supreme Emperor said this, how could he refuse?
The military power is in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, otherwise the Emperor would have "rebelled" long ago.
The Ming Dynasty's "invasion" now is to give the Supreme Emperor an opportunity to give the Emperor a good beating.
Recently, he first wooed Lin Ruhai and took control of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has made the Supreme Emperor a little dissatisfied.
After hearing these words, the emperor silently raised his hands and said: "Yes, father!"
Looking up at the farce above, Lu Yan had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Because he didn't expect that at this time, the two father and son were still fighting for power.
Could it be that Ming looked down on him?
Or do you really think that the Ming Dynasty is just a group of "southern barbarians" who are not strong enough to fight against the Shui clan?
With this idea in mind, Lu Yan went down to the court and went to a hidden restaurant with Zhang Erhe and others.
As Minister of War, Cheng Kang was the last to arrive.
When he came in, many people stood up and saluted.
"My dear nephew, what do you think of what happened in the court today?"
Looking at Lu Yan, Cheng Kang had a smile on his face and couldn't help but stroke his beard.
After hearing this, Lu Yan said, "Uncle Shi, please stop teasing me. How can I understand the important affairs of the court? But Daming doesn't seem to be easy to mess with!"
"Hey, it's just that I destroyed two small Zu'er countries, what's the big deal!"
Speaking with a smile, Cheng Kang immediately turned around and said: "Zhang Yushi, please forgive me for the recent matters regarding the accounts!"
"Where is the word, where is the word!"
Hearing what Cheng Kang said, Zhang Erhe was also a sensible person and knew immediately that Cheng Kang planned to take action on military supplies.
Seeing these two people being "treacherous", Lu Yan couldn't help but froze on the spot.
Isn't he worried about the Shui Dynasty because he is afraid of the opponent's fighting power?
But now it seems that his worries are a bit unnecessary!
It hasn’t been fought yet? The Minister of War, together with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, started to make money!
I don’t know how much money was allocated from the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of War.
But when you come out of the Ministry of War, there are two ministers on the left and one on the right.
Quartermaster.
The soldiers of the Shui Dynasty can go to the battlefield with fire sticks, and Lu Yan considers them to be consciences!
"Snapped!"
Slapping his forehead fiercely, Lu Yan just wanted to scold himself for being stupid.
He actually let the Shui Dynasty live for so many years for no reason. If he had known it, he would have done it with his own hands!
As for going to fight Dingbeihou of the Western Wei Dynasty and Asan of India?
Isn’t the land of the Central Plains fragrant to him?
After a few years to recuperate, Lu Yan can lead his troops northward at any time, first to defeat the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then to destroy Rouran.
"My dear nephew, what's wrong with you?"
Looking at Lu Yan curiously, Cheng Kang and Zhang Erhe couldn't help but ask,
"It's okay, uncles. I suddenly felt dizzy! I guess I didn't get enough rest!"
Holding his head, Lu Yan wanted to kill his "teammate" at this moment.
But when he thought that the soldiers on the front line would need them to allocate "materials" in the future, Lu Yan held back.
This is it, our "auxiliary",
Whether the Shui Dynasty can be destroyed or not, half the chance lies with them!
The role of "God of War" Guo Kai back then was probably just that!
"It's really time to take a good rest. I heard that my nephew has four lovely wives in his family!"
Looking at Lu Yan with evil smiles on their faces, Cheng Kang and Zhang Erhe immediately started teasing,
Facing the smiles of the two people, Lu Yan almost couldn't help but want to grab a chair, but he suppressed his anger.
"As expected of a young man, with strong firepower and fierceness!"
Thumbs up, Zhang Erhe looked like someone who had come before!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kang and other officials immediately burst out laughing.
They are all members of an interest group, so making irrelevant jokes is of course nothing.
After all, the investigation starts from the lowest level five officials. Anyone with a clean background is not worthy of joining them!
Two emperors competed for power, and "honest" officials became adults
If Lu Yan can win this first battle with the Shui Dynasty, Lu Yan will resign directly and go back to Yangzhou to jump into the West Lake. No one can stop him, he said so!
In the turbulent Jiangnan, war is gradually breaking out.
Dengzhou City was the first to be defeated by Ma Xiehan's 200,000 servants.
Duke Li Liu Biao was about to die in battle, but saw Ma Ying appear in front of him.
Looking at his old friend, Liu Biao stood up with his sword and said: "I have been fighting for a lifetime, but I didn't expect to lose to you! No, let's do it!"
Facing Liu Biao's death-seeking expression, Ma Ying said: "Old friend, the future is still long, so why bother!"
With that said, Liu Biao was directly captured by the Ming Dynasty, but the news came out that Liu Biao died in the battle of Dengzhou City.
When the ministers heard the news at the great court meeting half a month later, their expressions changed drastically with fright.
Liu Biao is the patron saint of Jiangnan. He has blocked the attacks of Yang and Shu countless times.
But now, he actually died in battle,
Just as this news spread throughout the Shui Dynasty, everyone understood that this time was not like a simple "invasion" of the Southern Barbarians.
Capture Dengzhou,
Ma Xiehan led an army of 200,000 servants all the way south, preparing to cut off the connection between the Central Plains and the South.
But here, I bumped into Wang Shuirong of Beijing.
Each side led a large army and faced each other across the river.
