Facing the military threat from the Ming army, letting his own family take control of the military and preventing the border army from quickly collapsing and even surrendering voluntarily is the best countermeasure that Ren Dejing can think of at the moment.
Only you and yourself are of the same mind, and everyone else can choose to betray.
The Ming army has almost no defeats since its founding, and almost no army can take advantage of the Ming army.
The relationship between the Kelie tribe and Xixia is very good, and the two parties often communicate with each other. When the Kelie tribe raised troops to invade the Wanggu tribe, they asked Xixia if they wanted to participate.
Ren Dejing was still trying to get Su Yonglin's recognition at that time. He didn't want to offend Su Yonglin, so he didn't get involved.
As a result, both the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe were destroyed, and the Ming army won a complete victory. It once again proved its ability to dominate the world with actual battle results. After that, the Xixia military circles admired the Ming army very much, and senior generals generally harbored feelings for the Ming army. The emotion of fear.
Moreover, the Xixia army is no longer the army that was strong enough during the Li Yuanhao period to challenge the two great kingdoms of Song and Liao and even win. After Li Yuanhao, the Xixia army continued to suffer from internal fighting in the Xixia court day after day and year after year. Declined.
Up to now, although Xixia's military system still has all the people as soldiers, and once a major war breaks out, there will be a wave of national mobilization, but in the final analysis, both the martial spirit and the training level of the army have greatly declined.
Ren Dejing was in control of the military, and this couldn't be clearer. Except for a few elite troops with a tradition of honor, such as the Iron Kites, most of the army had long been ruined by the defeat of the Song and Liao Dynasties.
After the strong rise of the Jin Kingdom, the Xixia army also rebounded in response to the war situation at that time. However, after the Song-Jin peace treaty was signed, everyone once again messed up together, and the Xixia army just lay there without any movement.
Under such circumstances, Ren Dejing did not dare to place his hopes on outsiders. Ren Deren and Ren Chunzhong were his last hope.
Before the two set off, Ren Dejing had an in-depth conversation with the two.
"I know that the Ming army is very powerful and has never been defeated, but no one can say that they will not lose the battle. I think that as long as we stick to the dangerous places, we can defeat the Ming army and protect Daxia, not to mention that the Ming army may not be defeated. Will take the initiative to attack.
Of course, if, I mean just in case, if the Ming army really launches an attack, you must stop the Ming army's attack, and you must not let the border fall so easily, otherwise you should not come to see me. ,Understand? "
Ren Dejing looked at Ren Deren and Ren Chunzhong and had high hopes for them.
Ren Deren and Ren Chunzhong looked at each other and saw the helplessness and despair in each other's eyes.
They had no choice but to agree.
But how could they dare to fight the Ming army?
How strong is the Ming army?
They defeated all the invincible enemies in the world, including the Jin Kingdom, the Southern Song Dynasty, Ke Lie, and Qi Yan, all of whom were subdued by the Ming army.
Anyone who dares to oppose the Ming army is now a withered skeleton in the grave. Even if they have a large army, how can they dare to face the threat of the Ming army?
This is not leaving town, this is a funeral.
The two headed to the border with funeral trepidation.
Ren Dejing stayed in the central court and was also scared in his heart, but this fear could not be expressed. No one but himself could know that he was actually very afraid of the Ming army and Su Yonglin.
He must maintain an appearance of fearlessness, otherwise the Ming army will not attack, and the opposition dogs hidden in the court will attack and tear him into pieces, and then wagging their tails to beg for rewards from Dad Ming.
Appearance of strength is one's last line of defense. If even appearance of strength is gone, everything is gone.
In the next few days, as news came that the Ming army was performing military exercises on the border, the Xixia court basically knew the reason why the Ming army was performing military exercises on the border——
With Xixia's level of secrecy that was better than nothing, the reason why Ren Dejing wanted to hide the Ming army and Chen Bing at the border was basically the same as the possibility that he wanted to be the emperor.
In this way, not to mention the opposition in the government who hide their true leanings, even the puppet emperor Li Renxiao was overjoyed and felt that everything was hopeful.
The Ming Dynasty was indeed trustworthy!
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty really promised a thousand pieces of gold!
He sent troops when he was told to send troops, and asked Ren Dejing to send troops from his side to guard the border, and the excuse was very decent and safe, which was what he wanted to see.
In this case, you Ren Dejing should surrender obediently and let me handle it, right?
So after many days, Li Renxiao boldly went to court again and participated in the court meeting, intending to test Ren Dejing's thoughts on this issue.
If Ren Dejing took the initiative to withdraw, he felt that he could not give Ren Dejing a chance in the end to avoid a military disaster. It would be beneficial to everyone, and he could continue to enjoy the relationship between the king and his ministers and live a good life.
But if Ren Dejing still refuses the ultimatum regardless of life and death, then don't blame him for being cruel.
When the Ming army pressed on, Li Renxiao believed that Ren Dejing no longer had the confidence to act cruelly with the troops in his hands, so he raised the issue openly and openly in the court.
As expected, Aodaochong once again stood up and took the lead in the charge.
"You all know why the Ming army is pressing down on the country. When our country is facing a military disaster, does Mr. Ren really not intend to do something? The Ming army is strong and good at fighting, and is invincible in the world. Our army is not Opponents of the Ming army, at this moment, does Mr. Ren really want to bury our country’s army for his own selfish interests?”
Ao Daochong felt the same as Li Renxiao. He was scared to death last time. This time, with the Ming army's distant response at the border, he had the courage again. Feeling that he was capable again, he stood up and fired at Ren Dejing again. .
However, Ren Dejing was not as calm and calm this time as he was last time.
He was probably frightened by the Ming army's advance, and his whole mood was in a very subtle state - not at all calm, but at least furious.
Last time, he could threaten Li Renxiao and Ao Daochong in a strange way, start a verbal war with them, and win a spiritual victory, but this time he couldn't bear it anymore, and his spirit was about to collapse.
So he raised his leg and kicked Aodaochong to the ground, then pounced on him and gave him a good beating.
Ao Daochong is a scholar, a king of strong words, and when it comes to quarrels, he is definitely an elite player in the top ten players on the entire map.
But he has no strength to tie a chicken, and he takes turns fighting. How can he be the opponent of Ren Dejing, who once led troops to fight?
Ren Dejing punched Odaochong so hard that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his face was like a dye shop with green, red and yellow mixed together.
So the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, including Li Renxiao, looked stupidly at the scene of Ren Dejing violently beating Ono Daochong while Ono Daochong kept begging for mercy and help.
Because the incident happened suddenly, let alone Ao Daochong who didn't react, Li Renxiao and others didn't react either.
It wasn't until Ren Dejing beat Aodao Chong that his head was bleeding and bleeding, that Li Renxiao stood up tremblingly and shouted "Stop fighting".
However, this lackluster "Stop fighting" not only failed to stop Ren Dejing's violence, but instead intensified Ren Dejing's anger.
He raised his foot and stomped down hard on Aodaochong, who was lying on the ground and twisting his body, and stomped on his head. At first, Aodaochong could protect his head, and begged for mercy miserably, but then he There was no movement at all, and Ren Dejing was allowed to be violent.
When Ren Dejing finally exhausted his energy and vented his anger, he asked Ren Decong, the captain in front of the palace who had been guarding the outside with his troops, to lead his troops over.
Ren Decong led his troops and dragged out the half-dead Aodaochong.
"Take it out, chop it into pieces, and feed it to the dogs!"
Ren Dejing gave the order, and Ren Decong glanced at Li Renxiao and took the order.
Ren Decong dragged the half-dead Aodaochong away from the meeting palace. No official dared to say a word during the whole process, including Li Renxiao who was in the palace.
It seemed that he was indeed frightened.
Ren Dejing stood in the hall and looked around.
"What the Ming Dynasty has done is to interfere with our internal affairs. It is an extremely shameless power! When the country is in danger, you do not want to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, but you want to harm the loyal and good. What is your intention? Everyone can kill you. We are all rebellious thieves!”
After saying that, Ren Dejing locked his eyes on Li Renxiao.
"Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are rebellious. In the whole world, only ministers are loyal and good. Faced with such loyalty, will your majesty remove the minister from his position and drive him away?"
