Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 318 Who Says Generals Have No Brains?

Lan Yurang stayed in India for a few more days, Zhang Dingbian thought that Lan Yu must have no good intentions, but Zhang Dingbian was not afraid, Lan Yu kept using him as if he was narrow-minded, and asked him to do the most dangerous things, Zhang Dingbian I'm very upset, I'm here to fight, and I'm not following your orders.

In theory, Zhang Dingbian is only half a level lower than Sapphire. If Sapphire persecutes him too hard, Zhang Dingbian can completely ignore Sapphire, but the people who are optimistic about Sapphire are Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhang Dingbian also wanted to look up.

The reason why he was willing to walk into Sapphire's camp was entirely due to this reason.

As for the tasks mentioned by Lan Yu, Zhang Dingbian did not want to participate, but he also felt that the tasks mentioned by Lan Yu were very challenging for him.

Want to do it, but not particularly want to do it.

It's very confusing.

Lan Yu doesn't care whether Zhang Dingbian is willing to do it or not, and directly states his purpose. As for whether Zhang Dingbian participates or not, Lan Yu doesn't count, but Lan Yu thinks that people like Zhang Dingbian Generals will not refuse the temptation brought by war.

Besides, Da Ming's literature and martial arts are separate, and military merit is the only way for military generals to gain fame. Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang are not a serious problem for Da Ming, but in terms of the significance of Da Ming, the status of the two of them is not the same And language.

They were expelled from the Ming Dynasty, and they were also Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest enemies. No matter where they went, they were labeled as enemies of the Ming Dynasty. The only way to tear off the label is to let them die.

Zhang Dingbian looked carefree, but Lan Yu could see from the fight just now that he was a careful person, beating Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang, Zhang Dingbian would not fail to see how many military achievements were hidden in this, he Whether he can make the right choice depends on whether he wants to get more military merits.

Sapphire is completely in the posture of inviting you into the urn, and he can also see that Zhang Dingbian is just being stubborn. If he is not interested, he can disappear completely. Why wait here?

As for Lan Yu asking Zhang Dingbian to stay, it is for the next military exercise. At that time, several surrounding kingdoms will send people over. The reason why Lan Yu has done such a big thing is to let Ottoman, Hungary When the kingdom sees the strength of Daming, it also makes them aware of the gap between them and Daming. Only in this way can Sapphire complete the goal that Zhu Yuanzhang set for him faster.

All this is very simple, it seems very easy, but in practice, it is not as simple as it seems.

It is simply to use force to oppress kingdoms such as Ottoman and Hungary. If the persecution is too hard, it may be counterproductive.

It is the best way to hit a stick and then give a carrot. How to handle this scale is a problem that Sapphire needs to consider. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

However, with the help of Zhang Dingbian, Sapphire will be able to operate on a larger scale. After all, the back road is cut off, and the front attack is not smooth. It is completely possible to open up a sea battlefield, but will Zhang Dingbian agree? Now It is still unknown, if Zhang Dingbian is more aggressive, he will be able to snatch Lan Yu's job away.

There are many choices in front of Sapphire, but no matter which one you choose, there are many constraints.

……

Zhang Dingbian is not a good stubble. After listening to Lan Yu's plan, after simple thinking, he realized that this matter is very maneuverable. He even thought that if he got rid of Lan Yu and did it himself, it would not be a good idea. No, behind Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang, there are many other kingdoms, they may stand on the same front as Daming.

Of course, it is also possible to cooperate with Lan Yu. As long as he and Lan Yu confirm the cooperation, Zhang Dingbian can write a memorial to Zhu Yuanzhang, explaining to Zhu Yuanzhang that how to divide the credit at that time depends on who will do it faster.

Sapphire tried to use military exercises to deter countries in West Asia and Eastern Europe. In Zhang Dingbian's view, the success rate was very high.

Zhang Dingbian has had many contacts with the people here before. The reasons for the perennial confrontation between Ottoman and Hungary are due to the invasion of outsiders on the one hand and their different beliefs on the other hand.

Just because of a simple belief, they can fight for a hundred years. This is the first time Zhang Dingbian has heard of such a reason for fighting, and he also finds it incredible.

In Zhang Dingbian's view, as long as the problem of their belief is solved, the remaining problems will no longer be problems.

It's just that what Lanyu will do makes Zhang Dingbian very curious and wants to know.

Might as well wait and see how Sapphire solves it.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is history books or unofficial histories, most generals have been described as reckless men with well-developed limbs and simple minds, but they are not without brains, such as the current Lan Yu and Zhang Dingbian. One hundred minds, not even how to cooperate without negotiation.

It's not that the generals of the Ming Dynasty were not united.

It's that they all want to do one thing, but they also want to maximize their interests and make themselves vested interests.

……

Lan Yu directly asked for a military exercise when he didn't agree with each other. After he sent a messenger to release the news, it immediately aroused great repercussions.

Especially the Ottoman, Hungarian and other empires closest to India. Although they did not directly fight against Ming Dynasty, they can also feel the strength of Ming Dynasty through the changes in the situation around their own countries.

India fell, Delhi Sultan surrendered to Ming, and Firuz Shah also became the last king of Delhi Sultan... Not only these three countries, they saw Ming's fleet from the coastline of their own country, and also from the fleeing population. I heard that a very powerful dynasty has risen in the ancient East.

Of course, there are also fake news spread by Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang.

Daming is cruel, killing people, and their generals eat a hundred children every day... Anyway, Chen Youliang and Wang Baobao can use as much force as they can to pour dirty water on Daming.

Anyway, it is causing trouble for Daming, why not do it?

Of course, whether it's true news or fake news, it all illustrates one problem: Daming is really powerful!
As the saying goes, how can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

This sentence has their understanding in the West, and it is basically the same as the common saying in the Central Plains. Anyway, the current Ming Dynasty is strong and prosperous, and it is their biggest enemy.

Sapphire's invitation letter had already been delivered to Osman and the King of Hungary. Although the two kings had not met, their reactions were very unified: don't go!
What a joke!
He Sapphire said that he invited us to watch the military exercise, so do we have to go to the military exercise?
If Sapphire doesn't talk about martial ethics and detains and kills us, wouldn't our country be in chaos?
Don't go don't go!

Say nothing!

However, I had to go.

Daming's strength has become a fact that 'one voice can make money'. If you don't go there, won't you offend Daming to death, and there is no room for relaxation?
Therefore, the kings of Ottoman and Hungary unanimously selected two "important ministers" of the country, and then chose to defeat elite soldiers and escort them to India.

These two Ottoman and Hungarian 'state ministers' never dreamed that at their age, and the day when they were guarded by hundreds of elite soldiers, they were smiling, but they already greeted the eighteen generations of their king's ancestors in their hearts over again.

I've seen deceitful ones, but I've never seen such a deceitful one.

You don't dare to come here to visit the military exercise yourself, you can send other people to participate, why do you have to embarrass us old men?

Even if we are useless, isn't there still hundreds of sergeants here?Are they also going to be buried with him?

The hearts of the two messengers were full of bitterness. They never imagined that they would die as guests in a foreign land.

But their kings unanimously chose them to die, even if they were reluctant, they had to go on.

……

Sapphire's attitude towards them is not eager, and the purpose of his military exercise is to demonstrate to Hungary and Ottomans. It would be good to let them leave alive. How can he take good care of them?
When entertaining the envoys of these two countries, the king of Delhi Sultan, Firuzsha, happened to be there. Sapphire said to Firuzsha: "Old Fei, you are a friend of our Daming and a good brother of my Sapphire. I will give you preferential treatment. As for the two countries of Ottoman and Hungary, they treat me with admiration, and don’t pay attention to us at all. I said let their king come, but they only sent two old men. What's the matter? Is my Sapphire not worthy to meet their king?"

"Worthy! Totally worthy!"

Firuzsha is now completely 'blue blow', his life is in Sapphire's hands, in his opinion, only by flattering Sapphire can he have a chance of living, how could he not grasp it well What about such an opportunity?
Sapphire complained about the kings of Ottoman and Hungary, and Feruzsha also expressed righteous indignation, and severely condemned the two kings' absence: "General Lan, let me tell you, we don't need any military exercises, as long as the artillery Once fired in front of their city, they will be honest after the last round of bombardment. This kind of artillery is no different from the punishment of the gods descending into the world. They will only fear Da Ming and General Lan even more. Those people are all cheap , General Lan, you don't have to pity them, just hit them hard!"

The kings of Ottoman and Hungary, their fate was worse than that of Feruz Shah, which is the scene that Feruzsha wanted to see: "General Lan, please order the mobilization of troops. I am the Sultan of Delhi, and I am willing to serve you."

However, Sapphire did not follow Firuzsha's wishes.

In ancient times, there were thousands of gold to buy horse bones in order to obtain a better BMW. The reason why Sapphire and Firuzsha are like one person is to let others know that taking refuge in Ming Dynasty is not the end of your life, but the end of your life. just started.

You see, Firuzsha originally cooperated with Chen Youliang, so it can be said that he is the enemy of our Daming, but now that Firuzsha has taken refuge in Daming, we did not pursue his fault, but treat him as a 'good friend', With such a vast mind of Ming Dynasty, can't it attract several countries to surrender?

Zhang Dingbian did not leave, he has been observing everything, Zhang Dingbian stayed in India, ready to watch the military exercise prepared by Lanyu, in fact, he already had the answer in his heart: cooperation.

Cooperate with Lan Yu and attack Wang Baobao and Chen Youliang back and forth.

However, before deciding to cooperate with Lan Yu, Zhang Dingbian also wanted to know how Lan Yu persuaded Ottoman and Hungary not to be enemies of Daming.

Come two old people, put on gorgeous clothes, are the important ministers of the country?

Zhang Dingbian thought it was ridiculous. These two envoys didn't look like pampered people, and the guards who led the team to protect them didn't seem to be too respectful. If these two old men are okay, Zhang Dingbian dare Screw the head off and let the soldiers kick it like a ball.

Zhang Dingbian could see it, but Lan Yu couldn't?

Sapphire not only saw it, but also thought of a very insidious and cunning plan.

After the military exercise started, the envoy of Ottoman stood on the left of Sapphire, the envoy of Firuzsha stood on the right, and the envoy of Hungary stood outside Firuzsha.

The military exercise is actually very simple. It is nothing more than showing the best side of the army in front of everyone, and then displaying the best weapons. These are on the bright side, but there are also experts present. They see the bright side After it was over, I saw the spirit of the Ming soldiers again, and immediately knew that the rumors I heard before were true, nine out of ten were true.

Sapphire kept chatting and laughing with the Ottoman envoy, and laughed heartily from time to time. Seeing Sapphire and the Ottoman envoy talking and laughing happily, the Hungarian envoy's back molars were about to be crushed.

You agreed to advance and retreat together, but you secretly had a very 'pleasant' conversation with General Daming. Isn't this betrayal?The envoy of the Hungarian Kingdom also wanted to go over, but was blocked by Firuzsha. The Hungarian envoy saw Firuzsha's murderous face, and immediately knew that this guy was not easy to mess with...the smile on his face was even less.

Is Daming going to unite with the Ottomans and then annex our Hungary?

Seeing Daming's military appearance, looking at Da Ming's earth-shattering weapons, and the Ottoman envoy who was talking and laughing with General Daming, all of this made the Hungarian envoy have to worry: Daming is going to cooperate with Ottoman, and then Annexation of Hungary, Wang Baobao, Chen Youliang...

Damn Ottomans, cunning Ottomans, you will be punished by God for being so inconsistent!
By the time of the dinner, the Hungarian envoy was still thinking about how to establish a connection with Sapphire.

Suddenly the big tent was opened, and a luxurious dinner like a flowing water banquet was served in the tent.

The person who came was Sapphire’s bodyguard, the Hungarian envoy had seen him, and after the banquet was set, he stepped forward and clasped his fists to the Hungarian envoy and said, “Respected envoy, please be calm, my general has finished his official duties. I'll see you right away, my general said, let us not treat you badly no matter what, I, Daming, and your Ottoman Kingdom are good friends forever."

Ottoman Kingdom...

The Hungarian envoy, who was still smiling just now, immediately froze the smile on his face after hearing what the sapphire guard said.

The Hungarian envoy was an honest man. Although he was very reluctant, he still said very honestly: "I, I am the envoy of the Hungarian Kingdom. Can you tell General Lan that our Hungarian Kingdom also wants to become Daming's friend!"
