This view put forward by Huang Yixian is the most pertinent and appropriate, so Li Tianzuo also appreciates this view very much.
Of course, it is best not to fight. Subduing the enemy without fighting is the most advanced means of retreating from the enemy. It is also very economical and does not require spending too much money. Otherwise, once a fight breaks out, it will be a waste of money and heartache.
Therefore, Li Tianzuo is more inclined to Huang Yixian's suggestion.
Among the three, only Li Gongxin advised Li Tianzuo not to try to test or anger Ming Guo.
He suggested focusing on compromise in exchange for greater room for action and negotiation, and taking this opportunity to find out the Ming Dynasty's trump card and fundamental needs before making a decision.
In short, do not anger the Ming Dynasty with words or military force, and avoid war as much as possible.
"The Ming Dynasty started in Shandong. It was just a rebellion. However, it overthrew the Jin Kingdom, destroyed the Song Dynasty, annihilated Xixia, and conquered the grasslands in the north. It never lost a battle in all directions. The countries in the Central Plains had no power to fight back. This shows the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, it has just overthrown the Song Dynasty, its morale is strong, and its military spirit is tenacious. It is the time when the military is sharp. It is really not the time for our country to confront it head-on. Why don't your Majesty properly think about the problem of restoring the Ming Dynasty? The military of the Ming Dynasty is better. "
This statement is a bit too weak, which is unacceptable to Li Tianzuo, who has always been quite strong in Southeast Asia.
"The Ming Dynasty is certainly a big country, but isn't there anything that a big country can't do? Lingnan is far away from its core. It is difficult to deploy troops and have difficult logistics. It is bound to be impossible to fight for a long time. Our army and people are united and stick to the natural dangers to be prepared to fight against the hasty army. Is it possible? Isn’t that an advantage?”
Li Gongxin tried his best to persuade him.
"The Ming Emperor is good at using troops. The soldiers under his command are all tigers and wolves. They come with great momentum. They are definitely not good. Although our country has military strength, it is not as good as the Song Dynasty, let alone the Ming Dynasty? The Ming Emperor's inquiry is obviously well-prepared. Come, it should be a test, we should reply to Emperor Ming in a lower attitude.
First think of a way to get rid of this matter, and don't give the Ming Dynasty an excuse to raise troops to go south. You need to know that the main army of the Ming Dynasty is currently concentrated in Lingnan. It is not difficult to go south. It is a great threat to me. Your Majesty is ambitious, and the veteran is also I am happy about it, but after all, the Ming Dynasty is a big and powerful country. It is not a wise behavior to do something knowing that it cannot be done. "
Now it was not just Li Tianzuo, Su Xiancheng and Huang Yixian were also dissatisfied with Li Gongxin.
Su Xiancheng, in particular, had just achieved a military victory over the Champa state and was in high spirits. He could not accept Li Gongxin's statement that the ambition of others would destroy his own prestige.
"The Ming Dynasty is indeed strong and big, but there is nothing comparable to Vietnam. The Ming army fights far away from the Central Plains, and the logistics are difficult. Our army only needs to guard Lang Son, and then separate troops and horses to attack the Ming army's food roads, or even It takes too many times, and once successful, it can greatly threaten the Ming army.
What's more, the Ming army came from the north and was definitely not familiar with the local climate. It was easy for them to become acclimatized and easily cause epidemics. Once this happened, the army would have no fighting capacity. How could it still fight against me? Isn't it unwise to compromise with such a huge advantage? "
Li Gongxin's suggestion was not approved by Li Tianzuo and opposed by Su Xiancheng and Huang Yixian, so it was no longer possible to pass it.
Li Tianzuo was even more angry with him, so he decided to adopt Su Xiancheng's plan to confront the Ming Dynasty forcefully, letting the Ming Dynasty know that South Vietnam was not easy to deal with, and that in the future they should not look at South Vietnam in this way again and strive for national dignity and dignity.
Su Xiancheng also made a public statement to Li Tianzuo, believing that by doing so and succeeding, the South Vietnam Kingdom would have the possibility to continue to exist, otherwise the survival of the South Vietnam Kingdom would become a huge problem.
At this moment, it was actually a critical moment for survival. Su Xiancheng decided to use his power to fight for a glimmer of hope for the survival of the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam.
Li Tianzuo formally recognized Su Xiancheng's analysis of the current situation and recognized that South Vietnam was already on the verge of destruction at this time, so the South Vietnamese State immediately began to take action.
They began to mobilize regular domestic troops to reinforce the army in the direction of Lang Son to join the garrison troops who had already arrived in Lang Son.
Li Tianzuo also appointed Su Xiancheng as the capital commander of the Lang Son Front Army, and asked Su Xiancheng, who had excellent military talents, to personally take action and prepare himself to deal with the military blackmail of the Ming army.
A large amount of strategic materials are provided to the Lang Son army to ensure that there will be no logistical problems.
If the Ming Dynasty is willing to negotiate, then of course it would be best to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means, and it would be best if it could also resolve the national identity issue of South Vietnam.
If the Ming Dynasty must threaten South Vietnam militarily, then there is nothing to say.
Don't hesitate to fight!
On the other hand, Li Tianzuo summoned the Ming Dynasty envoy to respond to the Ming Dynasty's request.
First, there is a very good relationship between the Champa Kingdom and the South Vietnam Kingdom. There was internal turmoil between them. Zou Yana stole the throne, which was an act of rebellion and disrespect. The South Vietnam Kingdom sent troops to conquer to maintain the patriarchal system, not for selfish reasons, so it is clear that The country’s demands are unacceptable.
Second, the matter of internal appellation is actually an internal matter within the South Vietnam Kingdom. Therefore, the Song Dynasty still has no opinion, and there is no relationship between the Ming Kingdom and the South Vietnam Kingdom. Why should they ask?
Third, the court of the South Vietnam Kingdom has never criticized the Ming Kingdom. I don’t know where the Ming Kingdom heard about it. People who say such things have sinister intentions and must be guarded against. I also ask the Ming Kingdom court to investigate this matter and return the favor to the South Vietnam Kingdom. A clean slate.
Then, we also heard that the Ming Dynasty stationed heavy troops near Dananguan, but we didn’t know what this meant.
Therefore, Song Dynasty had never done such a thing. Does it mean that after the country unified the Central Plains, it could not wait to go south to show the majesty of the Celestial Empire?
In this way, although South Vietnam is not a big country, it still has the determination to fight to the death to maintain the dignity of the country. I wonder if Ming Dynasty felt this determination.
Faced with Li Tianzuo's attitude, which was almost equivalent to a complete rejection of Ming's conditions, Liao Xingye, Ming's envoy and instructor of the 58th Division of the 19th Army of the Seventh Corps, smiled.
"So, does King Nanping not intend to accept Daming's persuasion?"
Before Li Tianzuo could speak, Su Xiancheng stood up and looked at Liao Xingye coldly.
"The Song Dynasty has fallen, and our dynasty has not yet surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. How can we say that we are the emperor of Nanping? The Dayue Kingdom is the Dayue Kingdom. Regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty recognizes it or not, this is an indisputable fact. The envoys should not make presumptuous claims or offend. Tianyan!”
"Tian Yan? The Emperor of Ming Dynasty does not know how to call himself emperor, so what qualifications do you, Prince Nanping, have to call himself emperor or emperor?"
Liao Xingye sneered: "There is no emperor in the world, and the emperor is just a body of flesh and blood, but he tries to cover up his own misdeeds in the name of heaven... Is God unjust?"
The two deputy envoys beside Liao Xingye laughed loudly when they heard this, and they laughed very unscrupulously.
Su Xiancheng's expression became increasingly sinister, and Li Tianzuo became increasingly angry.
Huang Yixian stood up and looked at Liao Xingye calmly.
"The envoy needs to know that this is the Kingdom of Dai Viet, not the Kingdom of Ming. Please respect yourself and don't say anything outrageous or disruptive!"
Liao Xingye shook his head.
"I am a citizen of the Ming Dynasty. Chapter 1, General Provisions, Section 2, Article 2 of the Laws of the Ming Dynasty states that all citizens of the Ming Dynasty have the right to freedom of speech on the premise of not infringing on the legitimate rights of others. No government, organization, or group may use it for any reason. Restricting the freedom of speech of Ming citizens."
"This is the Kingdom of Dai Viet! Not the Kingdom of Ming!"
Su Xiancheng could not accept this kind of remarks, and stood up in front of Liao Xingye and said angrily: "Envoys, please don't think that Dai Viet is a country of etiquette, so they will not hold the envoys accountable! The envoys need to be careful in their words and deeds to survive for a long time." road!"
