Chapter 127 He Xi’s Heart
Fang Guan strongly disagreed with this matter. But in this place, the person with the decision-making power is He Xi. Since He Xi nodded. Fang Guan was also helpless.
After King Ye left, Fang Guan said: "Sir, this man's ambition is absolutely unbelievable."
He Xi said: "I know. But our advantage lies in the navy. This time the Coconut King marches eastward. If you want to have a tough battle, at least we have to go to Central Java. Before that, we will not be used. And even if we can be used, do you think Are you willing to put some of the only men and horses in Southeast Asia on the island of Java?"
Fang Guan was speechless, but couldn't speak.
Ye Wang does not believe in Daming, but Daming does not believe in Ye Wang. The relationship between the two parties is very delicate. They are all trying to take advantage of each other, while also secretly guarding against each other. Not only are they ready to fight side by side, but they are also ready to stab each other at any time.
On the sea, the Ming navy can come and go freely. As long as it is not blocked in a bay, there will generally be no problems. But if the army goes ashore, it will encounter many situations.
It’s hard to say a lot of things.
He Xi said leisurely: "We are not here to help him conquer Java and make him the King of Java. His title is just the Coconut King. Let's go, and be careful not to let anyone touch the boat."
With this battle, King Coconut's survival crisis suddenly eased. In addition, when the war started, Fang Guan's delay made King Ye re-examine his relationship with Ming Dynasty. Of course, maybe Ye Wang had thought about it before. It's just that the time hasn't arrived.
We are all smart people. Smart people never act emotionally and only do what suits them best at the right time.
He Xi already had some ideas in mind. He feels that the situation in Java is very good now. East Java and West Java broke up and confronted each other. There is also a group of wallflowers in the middle. How can this situation be maintained? This is what he wants to do.
In addition, He Xi feels that The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is much better than the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
But where to find a third country is also a question.
However, there is one thing He Xi might be able to do. The Java of this era was different from the Java of later generations. There are only a few million people on the island of Java, which can be said to be vast and sparsely populated. He compared the ports of later generations and found that many of them are still wastelands.
He felt that maybe he did not need to choose a port within the range defined by King Ye.
Surabaya Port. That is the Port of Sulu Boyi. As the gateway to Majapahit, Ho Xi could not conquer it. He didn't want to fight, but it might not be impossible to delineate a port in other aspects.
He Xi drew a circle on the map. It was none other than Semarang.
Historically, Semarang got its name because Zheng He's fleet docked and Zheng He's deputy envoy and others who died at sea were buried here.
Now to say it is deserted would be an exaggeration. But there were not many people, and there were not many military defenses. Even better, Semarang was northwest of the core area of the Majapahit Dynasty. And if Coconut King can enter the core area of Majapahit, it will have to pass through the south of Semarang.
It is not too far away from the main battlefield of the future war.
He Xi is preparing for his future. And King Wulu has reached the final stage of his life.
------
King Wulu is about sixty years old. It will be nothing in the Hereafter. But in this era, it is already a long life. In the original history, he still had several years to live. But when I encounter something like this, especially seeing my daughter’s head with my own eyes. The blow to King Wulu was very serious.
Not to mention, the Majapahit dynasty that he worked so hard to maintain was smashed to pieces by his own hands.
That feeling is simply difficult to explain in words.
And even if King Wulu doesn't admit it, he is old.
If he were more than ten years younger, King Wulu would definitely mobilize his army to fight against King Ye. Till death. But now, King Wulu thinks more about what his daughter once was. I have already done these things wrongly.
King Xi felt that he shouldn't have pushed too hard, and something like this happened.
Perhaps he felt that he should have taken the first step and killed King Xi. If King Wulu hadn't been so soft-hearted. In fact, he had a chance to do such a thing.
In short, regret, sadness, sadness. pain. These negative emotions entangled King Wulu and made him have no intention of leading troops to fight. At the same time, the diseases he had accumulated for many years suddenly broke out. When a person's heart energy is weak, various diseases will naturally come to his door.
After such a thing happened, King Dong, the preparatory prince, immediately became the next monarch of the Majapahit Empire. Things that King Wulu could not handle were naturally handled by King Dong.
However, Dongwang is young.
Some things were just a word from King Wulu, and King Dong would be in trouble for a long time. Not to mention, now the King of the West has launched a wave of counterattack. Manzha Boyi and his subordinates naturally share the same hatred and hatred. But privately, no one may be muttering secretly.
Muttering, it was because King Wulu wanted to pass the throne to his son that he caused such a big event.
This directly affected the authority of Dongwang.
As a result, many people secretly resisted what the Eastern King did in Majapahit. After all, although the Majapahit nobles actually hate the West Java hillbillies. But they didn't want to really fall out with the country bumpkins in West Java.
After all, Majapahit is the capital of the empire. As long as the Majapahit Empire exists for one day, it will be good for them.
The current situation has harmed their interests.
King Dong is not King Wulu after all, and even now King Wulu's prestige has been damaged due to the defeat at sea. Not to mention Dong Wang.
King Dong looked after King Wulu while facing this situation. The hard work can be imagined. Although Dongwang cannot be said to be incompetent, the current situation is indeed beyond his ability to control.
On this day, King Wulu fell into a deep sleep. Suddenly, I heard Dong Wang sobbing. King Wulu said, "What's wrong?"
Dong Wang said: "It's nothing."
King Wulu was so wise that he could tell at a glance that this was a lie and said, "Say."
Only then did King Dong tell the current situation. Said: "The Western King marched eastward, and now he has arrived in Central Java. He didn't encounter any tough battles along the way. He almost surrendered. If nothing changes, he will reach Diji in more than ten days."
King Wulu was stunned, and his spirit instantly cheered up.
This is actually human nature.
People's emotions are also regular. Sometimes when encountering some things, they just feel miserable. It comes in waves, but after reaching the peak, it will naturally fall back. No one can be happy all the time, but at the same time, no one can be sad all the time. This is the same even if the person who died was a close relative.
King Wulu has recovered from all kinds of negative emotions during this period of time.
Coupled with this stimulation, King Wulu seemed to be many years younger all of a sudden. The symptoms improved instantly.
King Wulu immediately summoned his ministers.
Admit your mistakes first. Said: "Because of my selfishness, it is my fault that the empire is in such a situation. After I die, I will naturally confess to the past kings. I will confess to Shiva. However, I swear to all gods that I When I went to the west, I definitely had no intention of wanting the King of the West. But what did the King of the West do? My daughter, the princess of the empire-----"
When King Wulu said this, he became emotional and burst into tears.
At this moment, all the nobles in the hall were filled with indignation.
It should be noted that King Wulu's daughter is the heir to the throne if King Wulu's wife has no son. At that time, many aristocratic young people were pursuing him here. But times have changed, and the aristocratic boy back then. Has become a minister.
Everything about the princess is still in their young hearts.
Even if some people have no feelings for the princess, she is the princess of the Majapahit Empire and the future queen. What does it mean? Who doesn't know that the King of the West made such a move and almost trampled the faces of the entire Majapahit people into the mud.
This makes them not angry. No atmosphere.
Some people even cried secretly.
King Wulu drew his sword, struck it on the pillar with one sword, and said: "If I don't kill the King of the West or avenge this, I will never die in peace. Call everyone together, assemble the army, and march westward. Let's fight the King of the West."
"Yes." All the nobles said loudly.
