Except for Zhu Su and Yesudier who were facing each other, everyone else drew their weapons and stared at the person opposite.
In the tent, the air suddenly became stagnant.
Zhu Su shook his folding fan and was not moved by the tense atmosphere. He just continued calmly: "If you want to exterminate the clan, just come and seek death yourself."
"Wang Baobao thought that we, the Ming Dynasty, might have an opportunity to deal with the Liang King of Yunnan. So he tricked you guys into coming here to explore the reality of our Ming Dynasty."
"Fortunately, you thought it was a good job, so you just ran away to Daming."
"You haven't thought about it. If Wang Baobao is 100% certain, why doesn't he come to devour the Ming Dynasty's territory himself, but give the fat meat to you unfed wolves?"
Zhu Laowu folded the fan and pointed at Yesudier with the tip of the fan.
"And if you have no doubts about Wang Baobao's order, why bother to go to all the trouble to see me? Don't you just want to take advantage of my Ming Dynasty, but you also want to be a white-eyed wolf who only eats without vomiting?"
"I would like to warn you, I know a lot of bloody men. Don't think that because I am still young, I dare not wait five steps with you to get blood splattered."
"If you dare to covet the Ming Dynasty, I will be here first to kill you and others. General Xu Da, who will arrive later, will take your tribe out with Naha, Aza All those who lost their way were turned into powder."
"So what if I cut off your Alibu brother lineage? Even if Wang Baobao and Emperor Beiyuan conquer the grassland, I, the Ming Dynasty, will not be afraid. Even if we fight head-on, we can completely annihilate Beiyuan!"
"Don't say that this king did not predict what he said!"
Zhu Su's every word was loud and powerful, and his momentum was extremely compelling. Immediately some Wala people became angry and clamored to kill Zhu Su. On the Ming side, the generals refused to give an inch and would fight with the Wala people when they stepped on the table. Even the two armies outside the tent started making noises when they heard the movement, and the sounds of yelling and kicking were endless.
"enough!"
The ugly-looking Yesudier suddenly shouted loudly, and the Wala people fell silent. He looked gloomy and stared at Zhu Su, his eyes deeply hiding other complex emotions.
How could he not know the voice of this young Prince of Ming Dynasty?
What does "even though Wang Baobao and Emperor Beiyuan conquered the grassland"?
Isn't it just to wake them up and fight with the Ming Dynasty? In the end, the ones who take advantage are the Northern Yuan royal family?
As long as Wala sends troops to the Ming Dynasty, regardless of success or failure, the ones who will benefit the most are Wang Baobao and the Beiyuan royal family.
If the Ming Dynasty is defeated and the Yuan Emperor returns to Dadu, even if there are some benefits to Wara, it will not be as great as the imperial family. The gap between them and Kublai Khan's lineage will only widen further.
If they were defeated by the Ming Dynasty, they, such as Wala and Nahachu, would lose their troops. The Yuan Emperor, who had no excuses for not sending troops, weakened the Ming Dynasty and their "disloyal" forces without a single blow, and reaped the benefits.
Wala is always caught in the cracks.
"Your Ming Dynasty is insidious and cunning, and Wala dare not cooperate with the Ming Dynasty." Yesudier looked directly at Zhu Su and spoke the truth in his heart. "Who knows, under the guise of supporting us, your Ming Dynasty asked us to contain and consume Yuanting's strength, and then sat back and watched the fight between tigers and tigers."
"You have no choice." Zhu Su raised his hand, asked everyone on his side to sit down first, and then said to Yesudier. "This is the only way for you to clear away the shame of your ancestors."
"After the Battle of Lingbei, our Ming Dynasty has adjusted its strategy." Zhu Su said.
"We have given up on quickly destroying the element for the time being, and are preparing to recuperate and accumulate strength."
"When you have accumulated enough wealth, you can send out a large army to wipe out Yuanting and all the tribes on the grassland at once. Anyway, our Ming Dynasty now controls the north and south of China. It has a vast land and abundant resources. My father has a grand plan to build a country. "My eldest brother also has the talent to know the world and the ambition to conquer the world. At least my Ming Dynasty can continue to prosper for several generations."
"When things are prosperous and people are prosperous, it will not be too late to leave the country."
"As for Beiyuan, hey, it doesn't matter what you want in the grassland. The emperor is fatuous and the powerful ministers are in power, and they will only become weaker and weaker. What can you do with my Ming Dynasty?"
As Zhu Su spoke, Yesudier's face became increasingly ugly. He knew that the young prince was right. The power of the Ming Dynasty has been established, and even the sixteen states of Yanyun that were not occupied by the Song Dynasty were taken back by the Ming Dynasty. If Daming is determined to defend, Yuanting will not be able to fight.
The land of China in the Central Plains is richer than the grasslands. The longer time goes by, the greater the gap between Yuanting and Ming Dynasty will be. It is Yuanting who should be anxious now, not Daming.
If Daming didn't fight Yuanting, how could he sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers?
This is also the method Lao Zhu came up with after the failure of the Battle of Lingbei in history to deal with Bei Yuan.
This was a strategy that had no solution at all. Beiyuan didn't even have a way to struggle, so he had no choice but to accept his slow death, and then in the 21st year of Hongwu, he was hammered to death by Lan Yu's sledgehammer.
If Zhu Biao had taken over the Ming Dynasty from Lao Zhu, there would be no need for Zhu Yunwen to have such great wisdom. Lao Zhu would not have killed the heroes in order to pave the way for this great wisdom. In this way, it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty, which still has arrogant soldiers and strong generals and has always been prosperous, to kill directly across the grassland under Zhu Biao's leadership, and then take over the entire territory of the Yuan Dynasty.
After all, Lao Zhu pinched his nose and admitted that Dayuan was the orthodoxy of China. In the final analysis, he took a fancy to Dayuan's huge territory and legitimately gained claims to areas outside China. The national policy in the early Ming Dynasty continued to follow the principle of building high walls and hoarding grain. The final goal is undoubtedly to completely kill the Yuan Dynasty so that he can completely take over the entire legacy of this giant.
Lao Zhu is undoubtedly the most strategically defiant emperor in ancient Chinese history.
At the time of the uprising, he made a surprise attack and captured Yingtian as a base area. He accumulated grain and built a wall to secretly develop it. He decided to give priority to Chen Youliang during the attack, promoted the unknown Zhu Wenzheng to guard Hongdu, and personally drew up the plan for the Northern Expedition to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. strategy; and even the subsequent establishment of a country without conquests, using Ryukyu to contain the Japanese, establishing the Ming Dynasty's nine-sided mechanism like an iron barrel, recognizing the orthodox status of the Yuan Dynasty, etc., etc., all reflect Lao Zhu's extremely amazing strategic vision.
It's a pity that Zhu Biao's early death and Zhu Yunwen's ineffectiveness forced Lao Zhu to personally disrupt his plans for the future of the Ming Dynasty. And China has also lost the possibility of becoming more glorious than before.
"Then why do you come to us, Wala?" Yesudier said dejectedly. "Wouldn't it be enough just to do what you just said?"
"Stupid question." Zhu Su said. "If you support a hidden person casually, you can solve problems earlier that need to be solved slowly."
"Why not? Anyway, as you become stronger, you will naturally disobey the control of the Beiyuan royal family. I, Da Ming, just want to make this time come faster."
"..." Yesudier fell into silence. The other party was right, supporting Wala was just a matter of raising his hand. For Daming, it was good if he succeeded, but it was no big deal if he failed. After all, if Ming intends to start wasting time, such a conspiracy is simply unsolvable.
Seeing him start to meditate with an ugly face, Zhu Su also cheered in his heart: "It's done! As long as this person can clarify the interests and harms, Wala will definitely accept the Ming Dynasty's 'wool exchange for weapons' proposal."
After all, it seems that Wala will not suffer any loss in this trade. So far in the discussion, the Wara people have not raised a single question regarding the exchange price comparison between wool and weapons. Wool is plentiful on the grasslands. If you exchange wool for weapons, what's the difference between giving it away for free?
What they worry about is only the hidden harm caused by this "free gift". For example, Ming Dynasty might use this as a reason to ask Wala to attack the Northern Yuan royal family unconditionally;
Or maybe he was being duplicitous, telling Bei Yuan about this, and instigating them to send troops to destroy Wala...
As long as the stakes are explained, Wala has no reason to refuse: I, the Ming Dynasty, don’t need you to consume Bei Yuan at all, I just want to speed up and shorten the power gap between you and Bei Yuan...
While Zhu Su was confidently waiting for Yesudier's reply, the thoughtful Yesudier finally raised his eyes. He looked directly at Zhu Su with sinister eyes and said, "I already understand Daming's position."
"You are right. Daming does have enough sincerity and reasons to support us, Wala."
"But." He changed the subject.
"Now you, Ming Dynasty, are at a disadvantage."
"Naha's departure and Aza's departure are still igniting the flames of war within the territory of the Ming Dynasty. You, the Ming Dynasty, have not been able to calm them down for a while."
"We warriors on the grassland don't actually believe in these principles of weighing pros and cons. After all, we trust the scimitar in our hands more."
"I also want to understand a truth... If we, Wala, grab it ourselves now, wouldn't we be able to become stronger quickly?"
"Why bother to accept charity from your Ming Dynasty?"
A cold smile appeared on the corners of Yesudier's lips. On the other side, Zhu Su and Zhu Di were trembling.
