Qiming 1158

Chapter 1373 Do you want to give up the independent situation you finally got?

Su Yonglin believes that at this moment, the rulers and ministers of the Li Dynasty in Thanglong City must be in a panic and prepare to escape from Thanglong City. They know better than anyone that once they lose Lang Son, Thanglong City is a dangerous place that can’t be defended. Absolutely Can't stay long.

So hurry up and get there.

But there is no need to really attack Thanglong City.

Because the purpose of the Ming army launching this war is not to completely eat South Vietnam.

At present, the Ming Dynasty does not have enough troops and reserves to eat South Vietnam in one bite, nor does it have the administrative reserves to govern the land of South Vietnam. It also needs the Li Dynasty to stabilize the land of South Vietnam and prevent the local wars from occurring in order to maintain a peaceful situation.

Therefore, at present, it is enough to capture Lang Son, and the rest can be done through diplomatic negotiations. The army stationed in Lang Son can also be used as a deterrent, so that some local powerhouses who are just around the corner will not dare to emerge.

After the order was issued, Su Yonglin arranged for Liao Xingye, who had previously been an envoy to South Vietnam, to continue his mission to South Vietnam, and explained to them the terms that Daming needed to reach.

First, they had to give up Langzhou, which was then under the direct control of Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, Li Tianzuo is not allowed to call himself emperor, and South Vietnam has never been an independent country. This is just a special administrative region of Daming. Li Tianzuo must and can only be the chief of a special administrative region arranged by Daming, and he is not allowed to have other delusions.

Once all the equipment used by the emperor and the standard configuration of the court were turned over to Daming, the only thing left was the equipment that existed as a special administrative region.

Thirdly, Daming needs to severely punish the resistance officials in the South Vietnamese court who advocate resistance, hold them accountable, and treat them as war criminals.

Anyone who tries to resist Daming or who really starts to resist Daming, no matter who they are, will be treated as war criminals, and they will be handed over to Daming together with their own family, and Daming will be responsible for handling them.

In the end, Li Tianzuo was responsible for all the costs of the military operation initiated by the Ming Dynasty.

When these four conditions are met, Daming promises to stop advancing and no longer launch an attack, and will promise to ensure the necessity of the existence of the Thanglong City regime.

At present, Su Yonglin only has so many needs, and there are not so many others.

Since the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam has never been recognized as an independent country in law, it is a matter of course for the Ming Dynasty to take back this territory at any time.

And as Su Yonglin had expected, at this moment, in Shenglong City, the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty were in chaos.

Originally, because they used a small number of troops to withstand Zou Yana's counterattack on the southern border, Li Tianzuo was happy, and as a result, he got a secret letter from Su Xiancheng.

When Li Tianzuo received Su Xiancheng's first secret letter, he still thought it was unlikely and a little bizarre. He didn't know why Su Xiancheng wrote such a letter to himself, so he sent someone to ask Su Xiancheng.

After the person left for a day, the second letter was delivered to his hand. Looking at it again, Li Tianzuo panicked even more. Su Xiancheng directly said that he could not control the Ming army. The Ming army was too fierce. The Lang Son defense line could not stop the Ming army, so let him hurry up Run, Su Xiancheng will use his life to help him stop.

Li Tianzuo couldn't sit still, and sent someone to ask Su Xiancheng what was going on. Then he invited Huang Yixian, Li Gongxin and other ministers to discuss the matter together, and to discuss what mistake Su Xiancheng made to send such a secret message. letter.

A few important officials such as Huang Yixian and Li Gongxin could not give any effective answers. After all, leaving Thanglong City to take refuge in the south is a very serious matter, and it can even be called a matter that shakes the country. The nature is too serious.

Since the emperor of the Zhao family took over the world, the Central Plains Dynasty has never formed such a terrifying military advantage over South Vietnam that could threaten its survival, not to mention the Lang Son area since it was deceived by the ancestors of the Li Dynasty by marriage. Never lost it again.

With Lang Son, there will be Thang Long City, and with Thang Long City, there will be Nanyue Kingdom.

But what if Lang Son is lost?

The answer is self-evident.

The reason Su Xiancheng sent the secret letter was to hope that Li Tianzuo could escape lightly as soon as possible, without being hindered by the courtiers, and without causing large-scale turmoil, so as not to be unable to escape even if he wanted to run.

But this move had the opposite effect, leaving Li Tianzuo in awe, not sure what he should do in the end.

He could only send someone to find Su Xiancheng to ask for clarification.

When the two groups of people who had inquired in the past arrived in Lang Son area, Su Xiancheng was still alive and the battle situation had not collapsed, but it was coming soon. Mountain, everything is over.

The first batch of enquirers were lucky and ran away.

The second batch was not so lucky. After arriving, it was catching up with the Ming army to launch a general attack, and tragically became prisoners.

The first batch of messengers who fled back panicked and told Li Tianzuo the original words and told Li Tianzuo to run quickly. The battle situation in Lang Son was extremely critical. Li Tianzuo panicked and was about to run away, but at this time, the news was also known to the officials of the DPRK and China. .

A lot of gossip news spread immediately, not only the officials of the DPRK and China, but even the people already knew that the battle of Lang Son had failed, and Thang Long City was in chaos.

And more importantly, at this moment, whether to escape is no longer a decision that Li Tianzuo can make alone. He needs to be responsible for this, and he needs to refer to the opinions of the officials.

Not surprisingly, the officials were divided into two factions, the main war faction and the main peace faction.

No matter what era, what government, what political situation and war situation, there are always two views of main war and main peace. The history of the two factions of love and killing runs through ancient and modern times.

The main battle faction demanded to stick to Shenglong City, carry out a strategic defense of Shenglong City, and then called on the national army to come to King Qin and fight the Ming army to the end. They believed that time and climate were on their side, and they believed that they could win.

They grabbed Li Tianzuo's sleeves and prevented Li Tianzuo from leaving.

They believed that the previous emperors of the Li dynasty had worked hard to create the de facto independent situation of the Li dynasty today, and that Thanglong City was the representative of this foundation, the symbol of their success in resisting the central power, and the hope of everything.

If Shenglong City is lost, if the emperor leaves Shenglong City, it means that they no longer have the qualifications to be independent.

If the army of the Central Dynasty cannot be repelled independently, the Li Dynasty will exist in name only, and everyone can prepare to make a big gift to the Central Capital.

Do you have to give up the independent situation that you have finally obtained?

Is it necessary to deviate from the will of the previous kings like this?
In the face of the persuasion of the officials of the main war faction, Li Tianzuo thought about it again and again, and was slightly moved.

Then the officials of the Lord and Pai were unwilling.

They didn't want to die. They felt that there was no danger in Thanglong City. Even if it was flat, the South Vietnamese army could not beat the Ming army from afar in a defensive posture in the mountains, not to mention the terrain near Thanglong City.

I'm afraid not everyone will be caught together as a bastard!
